I'm amazed that you didn't give in and dupe the throwing knives earlier, which would have been totally fair, if you ask me. Luckily, Elden Ring should be a lot easier, kukris actually do pretty good damage, they scale, and they cause bleed. It's one of the easiest ways I've found to fight Lansseax on all bosses runs.

I think i would have quit this run 15 times over just from the starting area. I cant believe how much dedication you have for all of this. This vid deserves every view it gets and likely so much more for all the suffering that you went through for those damn knifes :v

@psivampire13 7 ай бұрын

If it was me, I would skip any farming and just cheat stuff in, or ask other people to help. After all, it is possible to get 99 throwing knives by farming, so it is possible, even if you don’t do the farming yourself.

With stuff like that knife farm I think it’s completely reasonable to just dupe or cheat in max knives. I don’t think anyone wants you to farm for weeks and weeks on end for the sake of authenticity. Just proving that getting the knives legit is possible is enough.

@user-yv2pi7bm4t 7 ай бұрын

Well, correct me if I`m wrong but I think you can farm those stealth knives in a relatively easy manner. Kill those ninja guys that drop the daggers by luring them to the fire downstairs and make them commit suicide, you can actually grab the items they drop. I think I used that trick to farm some white herbs when I played the game. Although it was in the original demon souls not the remake so idk. Btw, congrats this is an amazing video.

@JKLeeds 7 ай бұрын

Yeah it was more the time it would take, it's a bit of a run to even get to them and luring them down to that flaming ball is inconsistent at best. Farming 99 would have taken a really long time that to be honest I was not prepared to put into this given how long it had taken already. Glad you liked the video 🙂

As someone who has done a consumable only run of DS2 I honestly can't imagine limiting myself to only Throwing Knives in any game where they're worse than they are in DS2. The animation speed combined with the low damage would be infuriating to deal with and I simply don't have the patience for something like that.
