Can You Beat DEMON'S SOULS With Only Firebombs?

One more world to explore. One more world to burn.
For when nothing but ashes remain,
where will all the heretics turn?
Demon's Souls is the predecessor of every Dark Souls game we currently enjoy, and you can kinda tell. The jank and gimmicky bosses are off the charts with this one. But be that as it may, can we beat Demon's Souls with only firebombs? I guess only time will tell.
Big thanks to Atoll for helping me get a good thumbnail. PS5's and Demon's Souls are still hard to come by in my neck of the woods, so they were kind enough to grab us a screenshot!

Bombs instead of fire would be more specific, but in general with most games, if it has a firebomb that deals fire damage, then pretty much all required enemies/bosses need to be able to die from fire damage.

Gotta say, Lemon, I like the larger meta-story you're telling with these firebomb runs. Following the will of the Goddess along the path is a pretty fun way to string all these challenges together. Can't wait to see the Lands Between burn in flames (you gotta do the frenzied flame ending!).

@Burning_Marshmallow Жыл бұрын

@@tycol322 But you can’t craft mid combat though. While yes you can prepare before hand by crafting and buying firebombs, if you can’t kill the boss with the maximum amount of firebombs at hand, the run will be in some trouble. At least you only need to collect two greatrunes to enter the capital, but it might get tricky to kill bosses that late. And even the trick where you leave behind firebombs at the fog gate won’t last forever, as the final boss doesn’t have a conventional fog gate.

@TheValiantBob Жыл бұрын

Spoilers for da video Yeah, I figured that Flamelurker or Storm King would be the run killers. To be totally honest, I couldn't remember if the Armored Spider was immune to fire too and thought that even that might have been where the run died. Was Not expecting Astraea and Old Monk to be run killers too. Also, I am 100% calling it now that you're gonna do the Lord of Frenzied Flame ending for Elden Ring. After everything you've been through for the Goddess, it only seems fitting to burn it all down, doesn't it, O Lord of Combustible Lemons? Edit: Also I know the point of these runs is to do it glitchless. However if you used the wrong warp glitch (present in the Remake although not sure if it exists in the OG version), it would still be neat to see you try Penetrator and False King Allant. Penetrator could be doable if you rescue Biorr and let him do most of the heavy lifting. Although False King Allant would definitely be hard since he zips around, and you might run into the problem with Old Monk in terms of him having too much HP.
