Dark Souls, but I Can Only Swing Weapons Once
Vložit
- čas přidán 18. 08. 2024
- To clarify, rules for the challenge run dictate that I may attack with each copy of a weapon one time. Miss or hit, it must then be thrown away. Armor, shields, rings, spells, gear in general follows a similar rule. Got hit? Armor off. For this reason, I didn't use armor, shields, or rings with a couple of notable exceptions.

Now please get some rest
I did! As much as my body would let me, at least.
There's no rest for the hollow
One of my favourite aspects of the dark souls challenge run guys on CZcams is that you all go on fun philosophical rants.
...and awfull puns...am i only one who enjoys them?
@@Lazymindflayerwithcofffee knife to meet you.
THERE IS NO SHOT THAT THE VIDEO STARTED BUFFERING AT "I found that her moveset is really slow"
I thought it was part of the video for at least 10 seconds 😭😭
My lack of noticing my lack of internet for a moment aside, absolutely insane way of beating dark souls. Fond memories of that game, can see you have too.
That's some incredible timing from your ISP. And it's not exactly the first method I'd suggest in trying to beat the game, but any excuse to come back to the series is absolutely one worth taking.
"praised be the academy"
Ah, a person of culture
Truly, a subject worth study and a testament to its glory.
I'm happy to see so many cultured folk here
Firebomb Academy mentioned! That's how you know this is one crazy ride.
“Praise be the academy”
“Tips and tricks you can pick up from your local witch if your willing to give them a listen.”
Something about these little nods make me smile. Somehow the earnestness of it feels like it embodies the jolly cooperation of never really being alone in a souls game. That feeling of seeing a bloodstain or message on the ground and the little smile of knowing how passionate the souls community is. Anyway, my rambling aside, this was a really good video. I’m glad i got lucky enough to see this gem appere in my recommended!
This honestly feels lovely toknow that contet creators you enjoy are aware and look at each other from time to time, makes you feel like they are people from same covenant as you
Who is your local witch a nod to?
@@mathiask04 zullie
Hey man if liking swords and armor is considered childish, then I guess we had entire armys of literal infants pre 1700s
Uhh, I have trouble putting my current jumbled thoughts into words, so I'll just say, thank you for the videos you make and for the talking points you raise. I don't really know the feeling I get from watching your videos, but, to describe it, it would be like "the world may not be that bad, life's not all bleak, things are going to be okay". I'm going to stop myself here, because I'm already oversharing in a CZcams comment section and it's not like I really have a good conclusion prepared.
I could've thought my comment out better, but I've noticed I often my thought out expression is mostly cold and lifeless and at that point I might just as well remain silent.
I'm glad that I can help elicit such a warm feeling. And similarly, provide a place to experience them. I know comment sections aren't always the best location to share, but I appreciate it.
@@yvaskhmir bro I feel the same way about him and about leavin comments lol
@@CL4PTRAPS_SQUIRE I'm glad you could relate. It means I'm not completely insane.
“Dark souls saved my life” type shit brother
For what its worth, I see the souls thing like infinite loops in card games. Once you demonstrate its possible and infinite, skipping it is fine.
That's fair. I haven't given a lot of thought to loops in CCGs in a while, and it kinda makes me miss playing card games.
Agreed
Jesus Christ Spuddy, I didn't click on the silly meme DS video to cry. That last monolog was so touching.
if you give the chaos covenant 30 humanity you can open a shortcut that allows you to skip getting and using the orange charred ring completely.
You know, that's fair. If I'm being honest, I completely forgot that covenant existed.
well that escalated quickly, from 13 to 30 swords only two bosses in
Dark Souls taught me that the path to success, has greater value when difficult.
I’ve got a similar experience with the free Dark Souls with games with gold thingy. I remember begging my dad to buy gold for me so I could try playing some game, and then discovering the free monthly game. Then dark souls came, it showed me that I wasn’t that good at games, but by persevering I can overcome any obstacle I want. But I never got to beat it… my Xbox broke. Forward 10 years later, I get myself a gaming pc, one of the first games I bought with my own money was Dark Souls remastered, I tried again, but had completely forgotten everything the game taught a 14 year old me. It stayed in my library for years, i wasn’t even capable of uninstalling it. Tried many times to start again, but always found a Great Wall I felt incapable of overcoming. Like that all the way until this year, 2024. This year I decided to change many things in my life, overcome many walls and mountains in my path, I wanted to persevere. I wanted to get good, at life. One day and after many changes in my world, I turned on my pc, I opened steam and launched the game. Took me a whole week of playing after work, but I was able to beat dark souls. Made me reflect on the last couple of months. I could see myself fearing change, fearing the odds. But in the end, everything was alright.
Listening to this while I try and salvage my sanity with a bow only run in Elden ring. Shits rough, but, we gotta be rougher.
I will judge you. My judgement is that big armor is fucking rad. Another great video mate!
Hell yeah! And thank you!
Big chonk is hungry...
It`s 5 am and I just got through a panic about something happening next year. I can't turn off my brain and thus can not sleep, but now i`m slightly crying because of your speech at the end of the video... thank you for making this and I hope you have a truly wonderful rest of your day too❤
It's always a terrible state of affairs when the mind refuses to cease, but I'm glad I could provide some solace. I hope you've been able to rest since.
@@SpuddyCube thank you and i did (even talked with people and worked it to where next year is less stressful) 😊
@@zero91162hope everything goes good for you bud. And I pray your next year is your best yet! Jesus loves you!
@@Shimod01 thank you that means a lot ^_^
You are an absolute madman, and a champion. Well done doing one of the most unique challenges I’ve seen

How do you manage to make farming souls via them walking into fire trying to get you so poetic? Insanity
It's simple.
Step one: Play game.
Step Two: ...
Step three: Let the mind wander where it may and hope that it goes somewhere productive.
The soliloquy during Iron Golem fight more than earned my subscription.
My introduction to the series is equal to yours, DS1 games with gold. A friend from school recommended it as it was his favorite game. I struggled in the burg for 11 hours until something clicked and I fell in love
A tip for the archives skip you gave up on: using a bow to line it up is highly recommended and used pretty much universally
It's a perfectly valid opinion to think that there are absolutely no good multi-boss fights, but I disagree with your statement that the prime strategy for O&S is to wait around.
primarily because my leading strategy for O&S is to bulk up and throw hands with the fat guy to establish dominance and just tank the DS2 lionman. it works 100% of the time 60% of the time 40% of the time
somehow I feel like that isn't the best strategy
BUT
IT'S
MINE! Praise the sun!
Alright have a nice day Cubeman
My favourite strategy for Dark Souls is to grind souls and just spec in heavy armour and then fast roll with the armour. It's so satisfying.
Something about your ending speech really resonated with me, and I had to write about it. I, like many people met someone on xbox. I was playing a backwards compatible disk on the xbox one, halo reach. No one was online in firefight, 90% of the time, and then there was this one guy. Halo master. His real name was damian. We were friends for years, and he was accidentally one of my gay awakenings. It's the kind memories that we leave behind that give us purpose and life, and I miss him every day. A hell of a friend, I truly hope he rests in peace.
Came for the meme run. Stayed for the end monologue.
Your honest talking and soothing voice has earned you a new subscriber in me. Loved listening to you and watching your process in this. Very nicely done.
Praise be The Academy
Praise be, indeed!
Spuddy you are amazing spudster
My mystically morose magic man, I'm so glad you're here.
The amount of different challenges that have been thought of in this game is bonkers, and I still firmly believe there is no conceivable ceiling to the amount of ways you can play this game
Honestly, I keep thinking "certainly there are no major runs left to be done" and inevitably, someone proves me wrong.
Praise be the Academy! 1:12
Long may their fire reign.
You know… this is the first non-borderlands video I’ve watched from you. That’s not to say that the other content you post is bad or anything of that sort; it just didn’t really appeal to me like the borderlands content does. I’ll have to rectify that mistake and apologize; I’ve now realized that it’s you making the videos not just entertaining to watch, but also the talking points you raise during them that allow me some time to ponder as well. I LOVE this style of content, and will be going back to rewatch most of your other stuff as well.
TLDR: I apologize for not giving your non-borderlands content a chance, I was not familiar with your game.
It's understandable. I think most people are pretty prone to staying more within their comfort zones. I'm often pretty guilty of it myself, but I'm glad I could inspire straying just a bit. Thank you!
@@SpuddyCube From the bottom of my heart, as a person who watches you give not only devastatingly hardcore challenges a run for their money, but also deliver commentary in the way that you do, it is you who I have to thank for that. Keep going; you’ll end up where you deserve to be soon, I know it.
This is absolutely beautiful. Thank you
I'm so excited for a DS1 video from you, you have no idea :з
I respect ur lack of souls knowledge and still doing this run
The worst part is that realistically, I probably know more about Dark Souls than I do about a lot of the games I've done runs for.
I thought I was going to watch a grown man suffer! Instead I stay for the motivational speech. 🤣🤣
Came for the challenge, stayed for the unexpected but welcome philosophy about enjoying pointy sticks
From the "Fine trades." to the "NOT THE WIGGLES" this was a really good run. Thanks Spud
I'm always glad to provide! Similarly, I'm happy you had some fun with it!
I don't like gank boss fights either, you're not alone!
I dont usually watch odd souls runs, but this is an odd one i need to see
Thank you so much! The spider warning is very helpful for some folks.
Glad to provide it! They don't make me as uncomfortable as they used to, but I know that's not the case for everybody.
Great run!
About Manus's attack which you said can't be dodged: you already demonstrated it can be dodged, but for future runs, that specific dark magic attack can be countered by running all the way to Manus himself, the circle of orbs closes in but it leaves a small area in the center around Manus which is safe, no dodging required
Thank you! And that is good to know! My experience with fighting him in particular is quite limited.
So you've chosen the breath of the wild playthrough
This is my first time noticing 1440p quality and I love it, if I didn't know that it was a video I'd think I had ds1 actually booted up, can't stop watching the video for that sol purpose. And an interesting video idea
"Dark Souls is fundamentally a game..."
-SpuddyCube, 2024
This is a really cool idea for a channel run!! How people still think of unique runs is so impressive!:)
It was a lot of fun! I'm still grateful to Arachnid for the idea, and I'm similarly impressed by what people continue to think up.
"and i carry that weight daily" got a subscribe outta me, love to energy. You keep a quick pace and don't just bloat your content keep it up
From the geniuses that brought you Cyberpunk's Slaught-o-matic, comes the Slice-o-matic! Easy, cheap*, disposable blades!
i think i remember that video with the 999 stacks and great vid dude
I had no idea DS1 was part of Spud's origin story. The whole challenge running thing makes perfect sense.
It's such an incredible game and series. It just took it beating the hell outta me to come around to a new way of looking at games.
Praise be to the academy brother.
And may their lessons ever echo.
I think Code Vein has a very good multi boss. People joke that it is discount Ornstein and Smough, but the Blade Bearer and Cannoneer fight has a major difference; the game is designed for CO OP. It even gives you a partner during the exploration phases.
The reason I love the fight is that you both are trying to kite your specific mark in a small arena. Making sure neither you or your ally gets hit by your stuff, while your ally does the same. Sometimes the bosses seem to swap aggro too. But they don't seem to focus one person.
The other fights are different, mostly 2v1 bosses but the boss moves fast enough to punish two people. Or denys whole areas. It tends to be dangerous to stand anywhere near your partner.
Yt js recommended this to me while high and i love u for creating this ❤
When you get for some dark souls run and get philosophy essay instead:
Always a good day when Spuddy uploads 😊♥
Are his videos always this deep and introspective???
It _really_ depends on how I'm feeling at the time of writing the script for the run.
9:47 Based rant
On the point of gank bosses, I agree that Ornstein and Smough aren't as good as their reputation would suggest... But I do believe that Fromsoft has made one perfect gank fight:
The Demon Princes.
By far the most well-balanced and engaging gank boss in the series.
25:45 to counter your point, I have died to the gaping dragon but I have never died to pinwheel
2:20 'I don't know how to work the camera in these tight corners'
That's the neat part, you don't.
You're a good egg, Spuddy^^
PRAISE BE THE ACADEMY!
And may its headmaster enjoy good health!
"There are no good multi bosses"
Hollow Knight would like to have a chat with you... but they doing have a mouth 😅
One of these days, I'll eventually get around to Hollow Knight to see for myself... It's starting to look like my white whale of a game.
Wow I never thought I would find someone who suffered from Burritos like I did, with the internet going out with every microwave usage. I know your pain.
It always feels so strange to explain to people. Had the same issue with anyone turning on a radio, but that was at least less common.
@@SpuddyCube The only reason anyone believes me at this point is because I used to record gameplay and managed to have OBS running when one or two happenings of Burritos happened.
The radio is a new one though. XD
Had to have been a Netgear. Those things are flakey as hell.
Praise be The Academy!
Flame for the Flame Goddess! Fuel for the Ashen throne!
Your work is finished. Rest now my friend. It's deserved.
11:55 okay, however, hear me out. Demon Prince in ds3. That is it. My rebuttal in its entirety.
Wait a second..... you're not The Backlogs, I seriously thought this video was when I clicked on it.
Anyway seems like you're a fan of him so respect my dude.
This guys scriptwriting is genuinely exceptional
Have you seen the Crystal Greatsword market these days. He had to buy all of those swords and then you get maybe a 5% profit on them so yeah. A fine trade.
The economy is truly in shambles...
Breath of the wild durability
Too many people are afraid to they experienced depth from supposedly simple things, despite the fact that that's all life is and all we're after from it. Thanks for the video
remember, don't go hollow
and if you are, fight till your humanity re-awakes
Also known as: Breath of the Wild challenge
Just as long as Nintendo doesn't hear.
This is my first vid of yours and I’ve seen like 30 seconds and I like how you talk this is v nice thank u
I think we can all agree the Nito fight is annoying - but did you know that the large skeletons won't ever aggro to you if you don't go back there?
I imagine your strategy was "aggro all the skeletons and then run in a circle", but hey I figured I'd at least mention it
Omg lets go i fucking love this CZcamsr so much my favorite CZcamsr so wholesome
praised be the academy ❤
May their fires never be far, and may their cinders never dim.
leave it to spuddy to turn the most random idea ever into a Phylosophical lesson and a realy funny video AND stream Genuinly love it :3(Also how dare someone suggest a run that would hurt my favorite potatoe if i find them :3c)
Hmmmm. I wonder who could have suggested such a thing.
Also, I stand by that it was really fun! I'm glad that you enjoyed it!
@@SpuddyCube that i did also depending on where one can do ALOT of plugging :3
Swords and armor cool. Fuck anyone who disagrees.
I'm on day 6991 in my minecraft world. Thank you for the absurdism philosophy, always love the pointlessness. Relaxation.
What is the reason - there is no reason.
Spuddy sounds like Josh from mythical kitchen
who is this person, where have they been all my life
Here here to having fun my good chap! I shall sit in my boxers eating hamburger helper and watching Hey Arnold tonight for dinner. Life is awesome AF!
Interesting concept for a video, cheers from Germany
If you like midevil stuff you should look into Amtgard or Bellgarth is alot lighter but has "magic" Bell is more aggressive but no "Magic"
I'm not sure that I'd be able to find the time to attend something of the sort, but those do look like a lot of fun.
@SpuddyCube if you're in the US their are locals parks most Saturdays, then their are the three day events that are normally camping out with friends.
awesome vid, subscribed!
great vid man subbed
There are good multibosses, (like gargoyles, demon princes, ruin sentinels...) Ornstein and Smough just isn't one of them. Not least because of ornstein's wavedash.
Recently found your channel cuz I was playing nioh 2, fun videos!!!!
Great video ❤️
You should be more popular
Guess you can also call this run, UNLIMITED BLADE WORKS
Genuinely, Thank You ❤
Praise be the 🔥💣 academy!
Amazing video, but why link the flame, it's already been used once 😄
Fair, fair... But with the Dark being already used in the title, I had to choose between the lesser of two evils. And hopefully we're going to have a forge up and running for some new swords.
he kind of sounds like robot from Invincible
Hobbies are sacred
Okay, I gotta ask, how much of your script writing time is you thinking of poetic ways to say things? I love your videos but I just gotta know.
Glad to hear it! And honestly, less than you might think. I could be wrong, but I think I spend pretty similar amounts of time on any given part of my scripts.
Inspiration is a strange beast, and sometimes it simply strikes. Who am I to fight it? It tears and toils at the inner workings of the mind until it's found every scrap and slip to put in its place.
Sometimes a simple explanation is plenty. Complex as they aren't, I still try to give them love and care. Others, a thought or a feeling finds me in a way that I can't ignore. Something that feels as though it must be evoked with a caution as to try. Merely to try to instill itself within another. And while I don't think it takes too terribly long, when I should find the words to do so... then it's enough.
