Can You Beat Dark Souls' WORST CHALLENGE RUN EVER?!?!
ฝัง
- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 27 ก.ย. 2024
- The challenge run that took 3012 years to complete. That's right, ancient civilisations in 1000 B.C predicted the invention of Dark Souls and the inevitable challenge run that would come with it. Using stone tablets and chisels, they theory crafted for 3 millenia leading up to Dark Souls release. Even with all that preparation time, it wasn't enough and only now, 12 years after the game's release, some British guy called JK Leeds has at last been able to beat Dark Souls with its undeniably worst weapon of all time. Watch this video to follow the epic and amazing journey, with twists and turns that will hit you so hard you'll turn into a load of Elven bread out of confusion. Not for the faint of heart.....

I can't believe you pulled this off, all those years of training really shone through

Thanks man, my wife was watching me do it and she said it looked more painful than child birth
Yes, I can confirm that watching him doing this run was more painful than child birth…

I'll admit, when I clicked on this I didn't see this one coming. The narration makes this so creative, great video!
Yeah this was certainly one of the challenge runs of all time. Glad you liked it, fellow Souls TH-cam person 🤜🤛
Now you're married
The puns, man. The puns!
@@JKLeedsfirst time playing Dark Souls and i got the weapon. I liked how it looked so i immediately wanted to use it without even knowing how broken it is. After seeing the first half of your video i was thinking it was a bad weapon then i saw the damage and was amazed. I grinded the levels to wield it and now im stuck on O&S. Have been for a long time and thats actually where i grinded
20% drop rate? That's insane. I'm surprised you didn't just quit there and go for something easier like the Channelers Trident.
That's exactly what I was thinking.
Don't know why I'm laughing so much.
@@bobbywalker2980 because you have the Knights Honor achievement?
omg don't remind me farming for that trident... or the titanite catch pole -.-
@@ballisticthreat farming for that fork is the worst part of the knights honor achievement, beating out having to kill Sif thrice.
I always forget that crossbreed priscilla is immune to bkh damage. I soent hours wondering why she wouldn't go visible
That's cap ? I killed her with it ?
@@bobbywalker2980the joke understander is finally here
@@bobbywalker2980 hacks
@@bobbywalker2980i think it was a joke about how Priscilla is too adorable to kill
@@bobbywalker298017:30 Bro didn't get the joke 💀💀🤡🤡💀💀
You know, People keep calling the ceaseless fall cheese but I'm pretty sure that's the intended way to kill it for melee builds.
Awesome pfp!
It's also very clearly coded in. No AI abuse or whatever it is CD falling to his death just like iron golem can be knocked off
Miyazaki confirmed that it was intended
@@glitchtabbyit’s how I killed him my first playthrough, first try too. Laughed my ass off
@@glitchtabbyWhy would someone even argue against it being intended. Like an intern slipped and accidentally coded in a whole animation for it lmao
I once attempted a Petrus cosplay run with unupgraded weapon and shield plus trash spells. It made me hate the fat twonk even more.
Sounds awful. I'm sorry for your suffering
@@JKLeeds Why should he be the only one suffering you should do it to 😈
“By the lords! You damned fool! FeEl ThE wRaTh Of ThE gOdS!”

"Feel the dry fart of Force".
I remember my first playthrough of Dark Souls 1. I was fresh off beating Dark Souls 1 3 and in that game the black knight halbard does actually good damage, so when I got it in Dark Souls 1 I could not believe I was fooled so thoroughly. Thank you for spreading awareness of the worst weapon in the game!
back in the day when i used to play pvp with friends, whenever we saw the BKH we immediately stripped nekkid, one because fast rolls are so OP against it, but two, it was so fecking funny to just roll rings round the invader til they either left or changed weapon, it was such a joke
This shear level of sarcasm has never before been achieved.
Perfect timing on the release for this one. Made my evening ❤
Crossed over into sardonicism quite well.
Sheer*
As a fellow Brit, you’re doing our country an absolute service not only with your display of skill, patience and unwavering fortitude - but also the script’s execution of sarcasm is world class 🤣 quality content
0:19 Ah yes, the notoriously hard Dark Souls I series
The rapid "just like our damage has fall-" after ceaseless had me laughing a bit too hard
That joke was worth the 15 minute buildup
I saw a family of 4 vreer off of a cliff and couldnt help but see it as a metaphor for how the damage for this weapon dropped off
This challenge would’ve killed me, you didn’t even use the best weapon… THE BROKEN SWORD!😵💫
Yeah that thing is busted
you might never know how to use bow correctly, you don't need arrow to use the bow, instead just shoot with the air to make it effective, or use bow as a melee weapon, it's busted.
I know this is a very unironic retelling of the hardest run in the history of Dark: Souls One, but this is bringing me back to the ancient times.
When my friend who attempted this very strategy and very ironically complained at how hard it was. All while I was living on easy street with my overpowered Morningstar. I just stayed in the very unlaggy Blight Town for days just as a prank to make him feel good about himself.
This was one hell of a video for somebody with a few hundred hours in DS1 alone and who has never watched you before.
It took me a good five minutes to realize you were serious and I'm so glad I've never used the BK Halberd. I have used the UGS before so I thought all the BK weapons were good. You have saved me from a long and arduous run with this video. Take my subscription for saving me so much pain.
OK, dropping the kayfabe. This was beautiful and I'm so glad I decided to look you up from DoomWolf's DS2 OHKO video.
Always gotta keep the kayfabe, brother. Keeps the videos "too sweet"
Sadly, the masterfully performed centipede demon cheese at 16:34 was patched. Now it only works with flip ring and kalameet ring equiped - which is the true effect of kalameet ring only discovered recently. Still mad respect for undergoing this tortue.
Oh, so you have to take off the FaP ring to do the cheese? That sucks, I was really hoping to be able to do this in NG, not NG+. I guess that's just how Miyazaki (im)balances the game. How am I even going to beat this boss and get to NG+ in the first place!? He's mandatory!
@@Eric_The_Clericyou can get a second fap ring from the crow at the asylum
The luck you got on Bed of Chaos is insane. You got just the right RNG on the boss moves on the core phase to pull off decent damage despite your weapon dragging you down.
6:14 me whenever I play a randomizer, come across shops with stupid amount of souls for cheap and promise myself to use them responsibly
It's just beating dark souls normally, isn't it?
Yes....if by beating you mean smashing the disc with a baseball bat for 10 minutes
@@JKLeeds Is there any other way of really beating it?
You should have used your fists there are millions times batter
Bro is summoning Baron's castle
Spoken like someone who didn't watch the video
I appreciate the fact that even though Priscilla was impossible from the beginning, you took time to show how to grab the peculiar doll. Serious gaming
This was truly the Toblerone eating contest of all time
I’ve seen you do some insane runs, but this? Absolutely mad. The second I saw what weapon you were using, I asked myself, “Surely the halberd is required to get the better weapon?” but here you are, using a joke weapon to beat the hardest game ever. Top tier stuff.
You never mentioned the crazy quirks the other bk weapons had, like how the sword does only 1 damage no matter the upgrade, the ultra greatsword has C strength C dex scaling (Crap, Crap), and the greataxe can't be got until you beat gwyn 8 times with your eyes closed. Honestly, how could the devs make such an oversight?
honestly the biggest oversight that's not a joke is how the black knights have a stumble animation for missing attacks yet the player does not
My second paythrough, I did this challenge run. It was so horrible that my will to enjoy life died and I became addicted to the torture of halberds that I did a similar run in DS2. I think I need help!
I HATE the bkh! I somehow got it on my first run and thought it was a good idea to use it. But luckily I soon after got the drake sword which carried me all the way through the rest of the game. Glad I didn't have to put up with the shitty halberd for long!
I can't believe you didn't dupe the Twinkling Titanites, a Haldberd only run is masochistic enough without having to *farm* the upgrade materials. 😂
You breezed through this challenge like it was nothing! I could only hope to have skill like yours one day!
I like that even when he's playing a character, he still includes the dad jokes
TH-cam says this is Dark Souls 2. This challenge is so immense, it couldn't even fit only one game according to the algorithm
Dude I'm crying laughing at the whole sequence of the "instability damage"
Love your videos Im glad you showed up on my home page!
"Vaping Dragon - because he got smoked" will live in my head forever now
Truly one of the most Dark Souls 1 Challenge Runs ever!
Mr Leeds i know this is a very delayed congratulations but congratulations on becoming a Dad!
Having a kid is not as impressive as completing this run. I'm amazed he didn't offer up his son to Miyazaki in order to finish it.
@@elnombre91 Hah that's true
I'm actually surprised this was not released in April 1st.
I was sort of stony-faced at first, but by the time of the plunging attack on Frampt I was laughing out loud.
Bonus points to anyone who's reminded of both a teacher from your past AND someone you woke up next to one morning without remembering how, double bonus points and a Toblerone if at this point you're still only remembering one person.
legendary run, I can't believe it's possible... something is impossible until it's done
The mans single handedly redefined what it means to “challenge run” 🙏
This man needs to get hired as a gaming journalist ASAP
Dear god. "Bark Souls" would be hell. Every enemy is a dog.
The sarcasm is so palpable in this, it’s sardonicism:
“Carl, will you give me a hand, we need to get Shake to a hospital.
Sure, I’ll do that.
Carl? Are you being sarcastic?
No… I’m not…” - Aqua Teen - Super Bowl
Me when my professor asks how busy has our week been and if we could handle another assignment:
Its sad that it took me 5 minutes into the video to realize this was a parody 💀.
I remember my first play through using the dark knight halberd without guides, I thought the game was pretty easy until I got to those anor londo archers. It only took like 5 hours running up those toberlone shaped, handguard lacking, humanity stealing, buttresses.
5:55
Fun fact- my first walkthrough finished with BKH
I can't believe no-one has showed this Centipede Demon glitch before.
Thank you for not being like all those FAKE challenge runners!
You know it’s not April 1st, right?
1:22 I know that guy. It's the guy who once scammed me. He promised me free toblerone but never delivered
Best challenge run I've watched in a long time!
His sons first words being “git gud” 😂
This feels like fighting game players talking about their mains
Now I understand why Germany's abbreviation is DE.
I am far too trusting, and started to doubt everything I thought I knew for about five minutes before getting my head back on straight.
took me an embarrassing amount of time to realize what was happening
honestly, i was really confused at first.
all made sense when i saw how hard the gargoyle battle was
There is one challenge run that is even harder.
Use the absolutely powerless Dark Bead sorcery.
This truly is the Dark Souls 1 of Dark Souls 1 challenges.
Black Knight beats Black Dragon because in the beginning cutscene they said that Gwyn and his knights beat the dragons so that's why Knights are superior to Dragons, despite the halberd being the shittiest weapon in the game.
Ah yes good point! An important piece of lore that I missed 👏
ng+7, nohit, sl1, thorns armor only?
Who knows
@@JKLeeds I'm excited now
No mercy
My dude pulled off the fabled R4 attack. That's impressive af.
Last time damage dropped this hard a whole nation surrendered
Thanks for showing us this awful weapon, so that none of us may use it and be handicapped.
"Bow shoots down Kalameet with his great Gough." 😂
Was duped into taking this weapon on my first play through. WORST EXPERIENCE EVER. It took me nearly 1 try to beat Ornstein and Smough 😢
"You cant get enough souls to get the levels without cheating? "
Meanwhile speedrunners : "tf he say ? "
Insability damage sounds like something DS2 would have a stat for.
I've seen some hard DS challenge runs in my time but this was unbelievable... how u managed to complete this run is amazing.
I didnt even know a run like this was even possible
Ds1 death: gameplay
Ds2 death: 1 inch fall
Ds3 death: nothing its very easy
The great axe is my favorite, my older brother who got me into dark souls likes the great sword and he always asked me why I like the great axe so much I told him that it hits hard and looks cool as hell.
“Can you beat Dark Souls’ worst challenge run ever?”
Alright, first step, cheating.
I tried that centipede demon strat and it worked like a charm thanks for the guide on using this awful weapon. I've been needing a way to challenge myself in dark souls again. Keep up the "challenge runs" or whatever these are called.
At first I was kinda pissed off about “clickbait” title of the video. But then I realized that this is indeed the “worst challenge run” :)
This video is proof i am an IDIOT! At first i was confused, i thought the BKH was a great weapon? Then he made a disparaging comment about strength builds. "Hey, no, i completed my first run with the large club and the manserpent sword!"
Then my 🧠 said: "you're not supposed to think with your feet, moron, he's taking the piss."
He... He knows it's not april first, right?
This would have been a perfect April fools joke
This run is a lot like eating a Toblerone chocolate bar.
And how is that?
@@TimothyGod they both start off hard and then end up being too much for 1 regular adult to finish on their own.
@@syed_99 I'm quite irregular 🤪
It took me too long to realize this was a parody 💀
Damn, I had to re-check every 2 minutes that the video was or wasn't released on 1st April. Well done!
This is literally the build i've been trying to beat the game with. Im still stuck on Taurus demon though, it's such a hard weapon to use
I hope you're able to clear soon so your erectile dysfunction can finally end 😢
Dark Souls 1 part of the Dark Souls 1 series is probably my favorite game in the Dark souls 1 series.
I'm surprised the comments aren't filled with confusion to your sarcasm 😂 British people love their sarcasm. It makes me happy. Insta subscribe!
I never would have thought this run could be done. Respect for pulling it off. You are a Legend. Toblerone.
bro the fucking gargoyle fight killed me oh my godddd the “pray i get as much damage as possible in as fast as possible” and fucking 3 shotting it actually killed me lmao god man ur so funny
Getting out a notebook to make sure I remember these great tips; "Press R1." "Press the dodge button."
I lost it when you said "Ren and Stimpy"
This is legendary, I had no idea the first Dark Souls 1 was this challenging
I'm honestly not even sure how you did that. Such artistry, such skill. You're truly in a league of your own.
Owl is not as it seems, and there is not mushroom for error.
The Dark Souls 1 series has never seen such a challenger as you. I tip my hat to you for your bravery and courage.
The +15 great scythe is truly the worst weapon in all of dark souls
This was awesome ... We need more ...crappy dark souls 1 challenge runs please give
nah idk how this man does, i cant get through this game without using 2 handed wooden plank shield
Can't decide if I'd rather attempt this challenge run or never ever eat Toblerone again
if you a big green fungi creature you need to use this halberd! WAAAAAAAAAAAGH!
Nothing in this video got me as bad as hearing the words "resistance build"
You owe me one Toblerone segment. I will be waiting to receive it in the mail.
I had to check the date twice during the video to make sure its not April 1st
The best part of a Toblerone is that it tastes like triangles.
This is really Toblerone of the challenge runs that exist.
