...what do you mean that's not a thing?
Well, what about quickscoping, can I do that yet?
Lemon continues his trek across the Dark Souls series. I'm not sure how, but things are both better and worse at the same time.
Can you beat Dark Souls 2 with only crossbows? Guess we'll see.

You could’ve used the ballista in the Pursuer fight, ballistas are after all, really big crossbows
-
Fun fact: the Burnt Ivory King is left-handed, making all of his attack patterns different from what you are used to fighting, and just that little bit more difficult. Because obviously this boss needed that.
-
Crossbows can destroy the pots in Covetous’ room. I think he was still using wooden bolts, which are designed to not break many objects in the game. Like the statues in Undead Crypt.
-
Not having all the stamina you normally need for an attack leading to it dealing less damage is logical on every weapon type except for crossbows, you cant load it "less" because then the bolt would just instantly shoot out instead of staying in place. But its a mechanic in a video game that lets moldy beef jerky wield a massive sword so its fine.
-
...Lemon this was the only run in wich you could've cheesed the first Pursuer with ballistas and be rightfully smug about it, because rules are not broken.
-
Whoever clutched with that shield crossbow suggestion, give them a medal!
-
I think the funniest thing about the King of the Giants fight in the memory, is that there's an even easier way to do it than standing up on that ledge. There's a section further back on the walkway where he will only send the shockwaves at you, but due to a broken section of the wall, the shockwave stops before coming close, so with a bow or crossbow, you can just go to town and he legitimately can't do anything about it.
-
The shield crossbow isn't what got him through the fight, it was CAPITALISM
-
Luke is the real MVP of this run. I think it would've been hard to beat the DLCs without his tips.
-
I think it's called a crossbow, because constantly reloading a weak bow like that will make you cross
-
Luke, Luke, and Luke were all exceptionally helpful this run.
-
Luke and the power of Capitalism he graced us with are the real mvps of this run
-
Suprised he didn't pick up or at least mention the Sanctum Crossbow, considering it's the only crossbow with scaling of any type The alt-fire is also pretty good if infused and with the Dark Clutch Ring, though it eats through the durability
-
Gotta thank Luke for being there when he was stuck. He sure was the man.
-
I did not know you could power stance crossbows. I wonder if that’s still a thing in Elden Ring. Great run! Also, you specifically need Iron Bolts or better to break intractable objects. Regular bolts don’t have the power.
-
DS2 is my absolute favorite, and even to this day i don’t half as much time clocked into any of the other souls games, and i never ONCE tried powerstancing crossbows. Now i gotta go back and try some things
-
Watching you finally beat the DLC boss on stream was honestly really fun. Everyone coming together to try and assist just to make it that little bit easier for you. As you said at some point: The community you've curated are amazing people. Also, Luke is 2nd MVP for his captial, the first yourself for managing to pull this off.
-
Guys, please, tell me that I'm not only one person who got scared when Lemon started swearing
-
Babe wake up, now backlogs just dropped. Jokes aside though, I only discovered you about a month ago but your dark souls content has quickly made you one of my favourite channels on YouTube right now. So props to you and hope you keep doing what you’re doing

The shield crossbow covered Elana like the three Lukes covered the mortgage.
