Beating Demon's Souls With Boss Weapons ONLY

Рет қаралды 28,159

Күн бұрын

The boss weapons only challenge is a timeless classic, but how would it play out in a game that starts out linear like Demon's Souls? Boss soul weapons aren't the only weapons on the table for us, we also can use weapons wielded by bosses and any special weapon we find in a boss arena! This is a very simple and straightforward challenge, but a fun way to test out the unique weapons of Demon's Souls! If you enjoyed this video, feel free to leave me suggestions for improvement or ideas for future videos.

15:08 WHUT???? You can drop down there and find the penetrating sword before fighting the Penetrator????? In all these years I had absolutely no idea that was even a thing! I thought you could only get it from the red phantom in 1-4... O_o that was a huge mindpenetration for sure...

@therealhecatonchires 5 ай бұрын

In other games ppl often run past everything straight to the boss. In demon's souls getting to the boss is usually harder than the boss itself. I think nowadays people expect a really flashy bossfight with no runback, so this game is the total opposite.

@@knotknight514 Yeah, due to the remake being more accessible, more people played it, but many people who played the ps3 original don't like the remake's artstyle and are VERY vocal about it, that's it. In terms of gameplay, while the remake did add a few new items (like a ring that allows you to run in swamps, a jelly that works kinda like a life gem from Dark Souls 2, a new armor set in the mines area and so on), which I thought were pretty cool, but besides that the game works in the exact same way, even the including the bad stuff like the barely working Maneater AI, for example, and even the bugs are the same, because the game's code is the same as in the ps3 original.

breakable walls use some kind of time based system for how long a hitbox is in contact with the breakable object: there's a (I think) Zulle the witch video where they talked about the one weird illusionary wall in Mt. Gelmir of Elden Ring. They slowed down their animation of swinging a sword and broke the "50 hit" wall in one swing. Love your work Eleum Loyce, even though I haven't played a bunch of these older fromsoft titles.

@@eleumloycee yeah I highly encourage it, incredibly fun, you kill every single regular enemy within 2 seconds after locking on and all the bosses except for Flameluker absolutely melt. It should be a great NG+ build too cause you can keep pumping magic all the way to 99 and you're gonna get more damage, especially with all those percentage boosts you're probably gonna notice the difference. It only requires 1 spell slot so you could do a "Demon Souls ONLY leveling Magic" video and start as Magician or Royalty, Royalty even starts with the Fragrant ring which is obv very good for just going through the levels with this spell
