  • Lemon honors the Firebomb Goddess, and battles his way through DS1. It's a good thing no bosses are fireproof.

    I think the beauty of Dark Souls challenge runs isn't "Can I do it" it's "How long will it take me to do it?" Or "Should I do this?" Or my personal favorite:
    "Why am I doing this"

    5:12 That's actually a speedrunning trick... Basically, you got hit and entered a stagger animation, and when that animation ended your character returned to its idle animation from which you can execute a dodge roll, which gives you i-frames as you already know, but what you might not know is that i-frames negate fall damage!
    Though, speedrunners usually accomplish this by either doing a plunging attack on a slope, or being at exactly 25.0008% equip load. Don't ask.

    I love how the DS Community has this stigma of toxicity and gatekeeping. I thought the same.
    Then I came across GamersWeekend doing challenge runs, and it piqued my interest.
    Now I realize DS is one of the most wholesome and welcoming communities ever. What the fans hate is people refusing to learn the game then spouting "gAmE iS TraSh wTf."
    Now I find myself watching every challenge run I come across.
    And let me say. This video is better than Gwyneveres giant, massive, voluptuous, rotund.........dedication to Sunlight.

    This is what made me always have a full stack of fire bombs on me during my first playthrough of Dark Souls Remastered. So many early game bosses fell to the fire bombs, as I used them as a crutch while I learned the game more as I wasn't used to the slower gameplay as I game hot off the heels of Elden Ring. Even got the finishing shot on Artorias because I used a black firebomb to force him into a dodge so I had an attack opening.

    If I remember there could be a way to perform or at least place bombs on the side of the fog wall and for it to letting you have extra bombs in stock, by doing so you require to perform the "poop walk" patented
    name.
    But now that I remember I think it can only be done in the remaster version?
    you are able with this trick to have half of your animations speed, to just walk enoughin the fog wall and not trigger the boss ai
    Also binoculars are able to help you aim better and farther by first setting the throw and constantly throw Bombs at him precisely.
    Which I think is also the same way you precisely bomb the two spheres on the bed of chaos.
    If you are curious of more tricks a youtuber by the name of ymfah does wacky challenges that no same man does.
    So there is that too!
    I hope I was able to help in some way! But I assume other people tried to do so too!
    Also it is so charming to see you call your wife goddess
    It's so adorably cute and lovely
    Oh neat this is why you should watch the ending of videos.
    Now ds2 baby!
    And hey at least you can speed up your attack with adaptability.
    And I think tricks from ds1 still seem to work on the second and third.
    Which I think now they scale with stats
