Can You Beat Dark Souls 2 By Setting Yourself on Fire? (Torch & Immolation Only)

Рет қаралды 126,605

2 жыл бұрын

Dark Souls 2 immolation and torch only. In other words, by setting yourself on fire and waving a torch around? The torch and the immolation pyromancy are likely the worst weapon and spell in the game, even worse than bare fists or the broken ladle. No buffs, upgrades or infusions. Main game only but I might go back for some DLC later on. A bit like the Olympic torch run but attacking with it and keeping yourself lit as well
