It’s gotten to the point where not knowing anything about the game is doesn’t matter If it’s enabling lemons crippling firebomb addiction I can’t not watch it
It's not a Soulslike game without NPC questlines that are absolutely crucial for certain important items and/or endings and yet lock you out for sneezing in the wrong direction.
I feel it’s now Lemon’s mission to throw firebombs (or a suitable flammable explosive substitute such as molotovs) at anything in every game. Can’t wait to see him do so in a game like Battlefield or CoD, where you’re *very* limited on the throwable explosives, but the objectives can mostly be rushed w/o killing.
I feel like something like cod woudnt be fun to do as it would primarly be running past everything and then getting stuck on levels eere its required you use other stuff, probably woudnt even kill anything with molotovs, as all the required stuff useally has you using required vehicles or rocket launchers and stuff
Thank you Lemon, my days are filled with dark thoughts and pain medication. Your challenge runs are some of the very few things that brighten up my day.
Hey not sure if this helps but listening to music i love really helped me with my depression. In fact it made me realize that there's beauty in life worth living for. Hope you find it too xoxo
You mean to say you are adding firebomb DLC? Or just bake them in? I'd argue that if baked in some bosses immune to the DOT but vulnerable to the base damage, and others who do the reverse can add challenge, without making the fire bombs utterly useless. Heck make one boss take base damage and heal from the fire effects, forcing cluster attack strategies needed.
not gonna lie, i think vigil is more fun to play than salt and sanctuary. it is far from perfect, no doubt about it, too many bugs and broken quests. but to me, i felt like the sub systems were more interesting and intuitive to get into.
@@takerwesker2442 well I just recently had to sell my PS5. I still have my crappy ass computer, but if I really wanted to, I could play it on that... Eh, I can wait. Going to try to save every penny I can on Fatal Frame IV's remaster coming out next year. Wish my damn book would actually gain some traction so I didn't have to sell my stuff... But it's whatever at this point.
The visuals in this game is honestly really freaking cool, especially the late mid-game bosses. Wouldn't be opposed to having more of this on the channel if there are any other interesting challenge runs. Not familiar with this game at all. Seems like it could be a good replacement for S&S on the channel for now, as long as you enjoy it of course Lemon.
Fists can be very powerful since you can enchant gear with buffs that boost your unarmed damage. They're generally not as good as the other options but if you really want to do fists only you can definitely do it and it's not as much of a challenge run as it would be in most other games.
Ohhh glad to see the madman can't be stopped! Firebomb Academy best academy! Also, I do have to agree on your overall verdict on the game. I tried playing it several times, and each of them bounced off to different reasons. And while additional DLC bosses are nice, I would have loved something more focused on trying to tie together the overall experience and reduce the wild tonal shifts a bit.
Me personally i think it's tonal shifts are great. Too often do we get games that take themselves far too seriously, it's nice to see one that takes itself with a grain of *salt*
Your channel growth these past few months is incredible. It feels like yesterday that I subbed when you were still around 20k. Hope to see this channel continue well into the future!
Ey Lemon nice video like always. Seeing you speeding through another game with firetovs is exciting. I see where you are going with the balancing issues. Even the last boss takes a lot of damage from a simple consumable. Why are firetovs actually that good in sooo much games? Is that kind of an inside joke a lot of people missed for years, made by the Devs?
Either its an inside joke, or devs have stopped testing consumables altogether due to every gamer having the "i might need it later" mentality. All i know is things burn real good and i wont stop/cant stop.
You should do a firebomb run of Dragon’s Dogma. It is possible and pretty fun. You can throw fire bombs and poison bombs. Everything pretty much dies to one of these two types of damage.
I loved this game when I played through it. I admit, it has it's flaws, but it certainly scratched that itch while waiting for silksong, and elden ring.
Can't remember if it was nerfed, but the Mechanical bow was broken as all fuck. As in it would destroy almost every boss in seconds. It is a machine gun of arrows and death, if your stamina can sustain it.
These new Souls-like games will keep coming out from now until the end of time. He will never run out of places just begging him to come in and throw a Vietnam level of napalm around.
Can i just say how nice it is to have a good content creator that dosent click bait or make ridiculous statements. Just shut up and watch. Exactly how youtube should be enjoyed.
Seeing as Lemon was the reason I actually gave XCOM a chance, I would love to see more games in the catalog for challenge runs. So please more of this game.
Sekiro has a prosthethic tool that throws Sen (the in game currency) at enemies and it does damage. Edit: it's an upgrade to the shuriken tool so one probably won't be able to do this run without NG+ or a mod that unlocks it early.
Some of the Final Fantasy game's have the skill Gil Toss where you do that and 10 has a summon called Yojimbo who's damage is based on how much you pay him.
And what about games that have damage dealing consumables as currency? Like that one transformation fetishist game that -(is completely devoid of sexual content and thus an utterly pointless and incredibly rare exception)- had drams of lava as currency. The only reason I even remember that thing was because SSeth had a video about breaking it to hell where it belongs and back again for another round, _thrice._ -Edit: Lucky guess on strikethrough.- Also, it's Caves of Qud.
"Kill it! Kill it with fire!" LOL, VERY appropriate! also, the "lord of misty lake" sort of reminds me of the final boss of MDK2. after knocking his health down to zero, he will suck you into his belly, and you have a limited time to attack his Heart, Lungs, and Brain, before he spits you out and recovers some of his outside health. (depending on how much internal damage you did)
you know the Megaman Battle Network series has quite the assortment of throwables that count as explosives, maybe not enough to beat the game in each but i am sure a solution is findable
God hearing the GBC pokemon music at the start sent me back to 2002 when I would be playing Pokemon Crystal all day trying to get strong enough to beat Red
Fun fact: Molotovs are named after the Soviet foreign minister during WW2. This is because during the Winter War Molotov made promises that the Soviet bombers would only be dropping food baskets (take a guess how wrong that was) so the Finns starting calling Soviet bombs Molotov’s food baskets. When the Finns found out that burning alcohol makes a great anti-tank weapon they ended up calling it Molotov’s cocktail because the Finns have great humor
This gives extreme vibes of that one meme: You call throwing molotovs a martial arts Extremely Buff MC (because they put all their point into HP): Hey, as long as it works
Maybe a frying pan run where you get the good ending in Vigil? It sucks to see you bummed out about not getting it. Though, granted you said it yourself that you probably won't do it.
Fallout 4, you say 👀 You could theoretically try a molotov-only run (extending to general throwables if needed)... mind you, that could be a *big* time investment.
Unrelated to this video but I just wanted to say I bought salt and sanctuary after watching your videos and I'm enjoying the heck out of it. It's such a great game, thank you for introducing me to it!
Lemon wiill probably show off every game where it's even halfway viable to do this strategy. and i love that! though it looks like as to why that ending couldn't be gotten was you got the cube things to soon...

you still cant beat demon soul with fire bomb nor elden ring
Local man continues beating every videogame which has a throwable consumable firebomb with ONLY throwable consumable firebombs.
Arson isn’t so bad if everything can’t be burned anymore.
Breaking news. Local challenge run develops a taste for arson and goes game to game burning them down
Must be from Florida
Thinking more on it, maybe the local man's wife might join in on the festivities
It’s gotten to the point where not knowing anything about the game is doesn’t matter
If it’s enabling lemons crippling firebomb addiction I can’t not watch it
It's not a Soulslike game without NPC questlines that are absolutely crucial for certain important items and/or endings and yet lock you out for sneezing in the wrong direction.
"Ah screw it, this is a challenge run, fashion souls be damned"
Proceeds to equip the most fashionable item I've ever seen

Oh shit didn't expect a Vigil challenge run from anyone.
me either lol
I honestly thought I was the only person that knew this game exists
Man I love this game so much. The soundtrack and atmosphere in this game are amazing and the whole game plays out like a fever dream.
Thank you Lemon, my days are filled with dark thoughts and pain medication. Your challenge runs are some of the very few things that brighten up my day.
Hey not sure if this helps but listening to music i love really helped me with my depression. In fact it made me realize that there's beauty in life worth living for. Hope you find it too xoxo
Hope your going okay. We share the same pain.
Glad to see that one comment was right. Lemon wasn’t pigeonholed into being another Dark Souls guy, he was pigeonholed into being the Firebombs guy.
I definitely appreciate a game that gives you an actual leveling path to boost item power and efficiency.
Going to add firebombs/molotovs to all of my games just because of you're videos on them haha.
You mean to say you are adding firebomb DLC?
Or just bake them in?
I'd argue that if baked in some bosses immune to the DOT but vulnerable to the base damage, and others who do the reverse can add challenge, without making the fire bombs utterly useless.

Nice to see someone give Vigil some love, it was such an underrated gem of a game

@@marcosdheleno looks super fun, even with the issues. Definitely wouldn't mind playing it. Hope it comes to consoles one day
@@toangreenlow2229 it's been on Switch for at least a year. Unsure of other consoles. That's my experience with the game. Thoroughly enjoyed it.

Seconded
Game has great music also. Though, the way background moves gives me a headache, so I couldn't get much far
At this point, I'm just waiting for a "Top 10 firebombs in games" tierlist.
This game looks dope, if it has more interesting challenge runs I will gladly watch :D
Same
This game is easy af tho. Not a real soulsborne.
@@natel7382 they dont all need yo be punishing to be entertaining.
@@seifer447 sure. Blues clues challenge run incoming. Enjoy.
@@natel7382 I think a good challenge run for you is to not be a dick. Frankly that one might be impossible to beat though.
Don't let this dude play Dragons Dogma,the fire bombs are insane in that game
Oh really now.
@@TheBacklogs uh oh
@@TheBacklogs oh no he has been summoned. What have you done?!
Would love to see a fist only run in this game. I’m like 4 minutes in and this game has already grabbed me. Got a neat art style

I loved this game when I played through it. I admit, it has it's flaws, but it certainly scratched that itch while waiting for silksong, and elden ring.
Id love to see and unarmed run. And bows felt quite under powered to me. Might have been doing it wrong tho.
Can't remember if it was nerfed, but the Mechanical bow was broken as all fuck. As in it would destroy almost every boss in seconds. It is a machine gun of arrows and death, if your stamina can sustain it.

Finally! After all this time i got what i wanted. Do you remember Lemon? It was my idea for you to play this gem.
Mkmkl
I may take a long time to get things done, but if that isnt synonymous with my patience level, i dunno what is.
I feel like this game has the potential for many challenge runs, so I'd love to see more
Good to see you play Vigil. Its a game that just needs a bit polish but toerhwise an amazing game.
Can i just say how nice it is to have a good content creator that dosent click bait or make ridiculous statements. Just shut up and watch. Exactly how youtube should be enjoyed.
Seeing as Lemon was the reason I actually gave XCOM a chance, I would love to see more games in the catalog for challenge runs. So please more of this game.
I feel that on normal difficulty having the game be this cheesable with a coherent build isn't a bad thing
Firebombs are throwing money at the problem, now I want a game where you literally throw in-game currency at the enemies.
Sekiro has a prosthethic tool that throws Sen (the in game currency) at enemies and it does damage.
Edit: it's an upgrade to the shuriken tool so one probably won't be able to do this run without NG+ or a mod that unlocks it early.
Dmc V have one
Terraria has the Coin Gun!
Some of the Final Fantasy game's have the skill Gil Toss where you do that and 10 has a summon called Yojimbo who's damage is based on how much you pay him.
And what about games that have damage dealing consumables as currency?
Like that one transformation fetishist game that -(is completely devoid of sexual content and thus an utterly pointless and incredibly rare exception)- had drams of lava as currency.
The only reason I even remember that thing was because SSeth had a video about breaking it to hell where it belongs and back again for another round, _thrice._
-Edit: Lucky guess on strikethrough.- Also, it's Caves of Qud.
"Kill it! Kill it with fire!"
LOL, VERY appropriate!
also, the "lord of misty lake" sort of reminds me of the final boss of MDK2.
after knocking his health down to zero, he will suck you into his belly, and you have a limited time to attack his Heart, Lungs, and Brain, before he spits you out and recovers some of his outside health. (depending on how much internal damage you did)
2:15, I think nearly everyone would be agreeable to you challenge running underrated souls-likes
This makes me strongly desire a molotov cocktail-only run in my favorite game, Terraria.
Shame this thing got removed from everywhere. You would have gotten me to buy it immediately otherwise.
you know the Megaman Battle Network series has quite the assortment of throwables that count as explosives,
maybe not enough to beat the game in each but i am sure a solution is findable
God hearing the GBC pokemon music at the start sent me back to 2002 when I would be playing Pokemon Crystal all day trying to get strong enough to beat Red
Oh I absolutely love this game! It's so nice seeing it get some love. I'd absolutely adore more challenge runs like this; maybe an bow-only next?
I like the fact that, apparently, whenever he does a new game on this channe the first run he does is a firebond/flammable whathaveyou run.
Lemon: "Because that's generally how developers intended their games to be played."
That's the first time I heard you care about that.
Fun fact: Molotovs are named after the Soviet foreign minister during WW2. This is because during the Winter War Molotov made promises that the Soviet bombers would only be dropping food baskets (take a guess how wrong that was) so the Finns starting calling Soviet bombs Molotov’s food baskets. When the Finns found out that burning alcohol makes a great anti-tank weapon they ended up calling it Molotov’s cocktail because the Finns have great humor
...man, how did I miss this for so long? And major props for the King's Field music! Always great to see it getting more appreciation.
Local man continues to violate the rules of war
I gotta say, the commentary and gameplay really interested me. I'll get it once a sale comes on. Thank ya Lemon!
Hadn't heard of this game six minutes ago, how have I already bought it?
It's pretty fun, 15-20 hours to complete:)
Same
This gives extreme vibes of that one meme:
You call throwing molotovs a martial arts
Extremely Buff MC (because they put all their point into HP): Hey, as long as it works
Maybe a frying pan run where you get the good ending in Vigil? It sucks to see you bummed out about not getting it. Though, granted you said it yourself that you probably won't do it.
@23:46 I raise my imaginary cup of coffee to you for getting such a heartfelt laugh out of me 🤣
Watching your challenge runs are fun. Hope to see more from this game or others soon.
Love this game and glad to see some coverage on it.
Carl just needs a hug and then when you finally accept each other.. the magic of friendship shall MELT HIS HORRIFYING BODY!
I like when backlogs plays games that are not dark souls, I was worried he'd get pigeonholed for a bit there.
5:56 Well considering Vigil is meant to be Cosmic Horror I'd say it's absolutely intentional
gotta love it whenever a meme build turns out to be op lol
I love your style, the short insert jokes and observations worked great here.
The boss's name looks to be a composite of Adrian, Andy and Dylon with a lightly compressed Nicholas mashed on the tail end.
The physco is back lets go
more Vigil?
yes please Lemon.
with gravy on the side
Fallout 4, you say 👀
You could theoretically try a molotov-only run (extending to general throwables if needed)... mind you, that could be a *big* time investment.
This game looks like a dark souls you'd find on a flash game sight, but in a good way. Liie the cool flash game sight the school hasn't blocked yet.
All jokes aside you should definitely play more of this it feels like salt and sanctuary but with its own feel. I like it
A Pokemon theme backing a video about firebombing your enemies sure does hit differently lol.
Me, my 87 arcane and my army of bats: This game is FUN
Great idea to use ur "signature" challenge run in other games the fire godess must be proud!
Ok, this game looks so good imma stop watching, play the game myself and come back to finish the video later.
Looks dope af
Throwing firebombs with Pokémon OST in the background? *_Interesting maneuver..._*
Vigil! I loved this game.
I decided to re-watch this video, and it's a good thing I did: I had forgotten to Like the video.
19:47 why is the mud so hyper-realistic
Ah lemon how I love your videos, so much that I watch even old ones because they're entertaining! Keep up the good work! (also new member haha)
Rewatching this later, I forgot about the offer to see a fist only run. I wouldn’t mind seeing that for the record.
Same! Would be awesome.
The firebombs academy is back
I guess Carl get sick of never getting screen time anymore and decided to get a real job. Good to see him moving up in the world.
be cool to see you get the ending you were wanting but didn’t get this go around in a future video
Praise the firebomb Goddess
It always seems inflammable, until it is well-done.
Unrelated to this video but I just wanted to say I bought salt and sanctuary after watching your videos and I'm enjoying the heck out of it. It's such a great game, thank you for introducing me to it!
17:05 Looks like Tony is bulking up.
FIRE BOMB ACADEMY!! I'd buy that faster than you could throw one!
I have once again been caught just as I was about to sleep, but I'm too hyped now.
One game I would absolutely love to see played with only firebombs is red dead, a fun game
9:17 how did you know i was nodding and smiling
Yay, the OP version of Firebombs are back
Never heard of the game, but lemon succumbing to his Stockholm syndrome-esque relationship with flaming thrown projectiles?
I’m in
Also this game gives me salt and sanctuary vibes
Might have to download and check it out
Thanks again lemon
Can we all agree that this voice is amazing :)
Me : woohoo a new video
Also me : well now I gotta buy a new game
The firebomb goddess has consumed another game. Very good.
It's Backlogs the firebomb guy!
I did wait for this, nice!
"I'm a gamer god damnit! Not a mathemagician." XD
My man was doing a challenge run and accidentally created a speed running build
Ok i should replay this game again. Got it on release and it was good, but the devs keept improving it so much that i barelly recognize it now
I kinda want lemon to play fear and hunger
God ****it Tony, this meatbag had to order one, and he's gonna enjoy it!
17:11 ... Adrian-[An]dy-[Dy]lon-[Ni]cholas... That's at least 4 guys
God I love how he started doing all this because his wife just absolutely L O V E D throwing firebombs in DS1
The Salt reference wtf. I did NOT expect that.
Kelpie, lord of cleaning product
I have never seen or heard of this game. Show me the way lemon
Lemon wiill probably show off every game where it's even halfway viable to do this strategy. and i love that! though it looks like as to why that ending couldn't be gotten was you got the cube things to soon...
