Can you beat Dark Souls 1 with only Backflip Attacks?

Рет қаралды 66,959

Жыл бұрын

The curved sword weapon class in dark souls 1 replaces your kick with a neat little back flip attack. The premise of this challenge is I can only use that specific attack, with some tweaks to prevent me from going over the edge of insanity. Watch as I struggle through the game for your enjoyment.

FUNFACT: Since Qulaag's fury sword is a chaos weapon, the fire damage on it will scale with how many humanities you have in your counter, next to your health bar. It does cap at 10 humanities, but it can still provide a pretty nice boost in damage.

Personally, I think challenge runs with little caveats is more fun to experience even as watchers. I tried a Cuphead peashooter only playthrough and allowed myself to choose use a different shot after about 25 or so tries. I only felt the need to do this for Honeybottoms and the Devil as I am nowhere near good enough at Cuphead to actually do full peashooter, but I'm happy with how it turned out

A tip for anybody that wants to do this run. You can rebind heavy attack to make jump attacks more consistent. Everybody is different, but mainly Q is used for the right hand heavy attack. It is a lot easier to press Q + W at the same time rather than the cursed controller controls. This does obviously come at the cost of using Keyboard and mouse, but you can always switch out for the fights. edit: My bad I realized that the backflip uses the normal attack. Principle is the same just rebind the right weapon action (attack) to Q. Great video once again.

Steam input is a godsend for fixing some control jank with Fromsoft games. It took me less than a minute to open the controller settings in the shift+tab Steam overlay, enable Steam input, and then "add command" to R1 -> gamepad -> forward left stick. Left Steam overlay and now every R1 input from a neutral position on the analogue stick is always a kick/backflip.

You can skip getting the dark moon seance ring by jumping into the statue blocking your path and quitting the game while you're in the rolling animation. This will cause the game to think you're clipped into the statue and it will deload the object to save you from getting stuck. This works for the boulder doors in the asylum and sens fortress as well

@@MrMetagross Yes. To do this challenge you must first skip the first boss of the asylum with the black bomb and the thief for the passepartout. After this you go down and you have 2 ways: First: deaf quelag with only mildred (best for me) Second: skip that ag with the death camera glich in bligh town. After that, blow up the demon (you need armor for better fire resistance and a good amount of health), enter the border (the place where lava cannot harm and you can heal). You can't rest at the bonfire at this point because the bonfire doesn't spawn unless you kill the demon, You have to do a particular trick because there is yellow mist and boss. The trick is in this video: kzfaq.info/get/bejne/oKqSeNui3qjdf4U.html After that, go back before the fog (don't fall in the arena), enter the boss arena and you have to do the trick to kill the centipide demon and now you have the damage ring. At this point you can do damage with your kick, but the only damage you can do is shoot. For better damage you need to get Kirk's armor.
