  • Can’t wait for “Can you beat DARK SOULS by waiting for millions of years of in game time, for Float type rounding corruption in boss health variables?”
  • Gael’s Crossbow is one of the biggest tragedies in Souls. So much style yet has a complete lack of any scaling. Reducing it to a meme weapon.
  • Seeing Freide teleport behind you 29:47 , and have her position given away by the fact she's currently a pincushion was very funny
  • 10:07 There is actually a Heavy Crossbow, which can also only be acquired in the Cathedral. It only drops from the Cathedral Knight in the upper portion that wields it. It also has a pretty bad drop rate, and does less damage than the Arbalest, so there's not point in trying to farm it, but it is called the Heavy Crossbow.

    First time i defeated nameless king was using lacerating bolts so that i knew it was possible just genuinly didn't thought that the deacons were due to their curse A run where nameless king might be easier then the deacons What a time to be alive
  • @tippybooch
    Alluring skulls would have made Deacons far easier. The head Deacon is immune so you just chuck one and all the other Deacons move away from him, opening him up for easy shots. As well as the added bonus of them ignoring you for a few moments.
  • The moment you got to the Cathedral of the deep it hit me “The Deacons are going to be a nightmare”
  • @ayragon5417
    These Midir laser beam dodges were just incredible ! well played Lemon !
  • To continue the challenges you should do Bloodborne with only the arrow attack on simons bow blade
  • In my first playthrough of ds3, I beat the second phase of nameless king with exclusively the light crossbow, same with soul of cinder, that thing carried me so far through the game
  • @ripinchaos906
    I would love to see you do a challenge run series for Crypt of the Necrodancer, there is a character whose whole schtick is bombs only, so you might have an argument for firebomb academy there.
  • @bconvery571
    Wow, just had a great idea, what about doing a run with Great Bows? 😮
  • @duckmouth
    man, the quality of your videos has just been getting better and better since day 1, i've loved all your challenge runs and im excited for you to be branching out into all these different games and really succeeding in it! congrats on the new merch lemon!
  • Now all we need is Demon Souls Firebomb & Crossbow Only Runs :D Really Enjoy These Epic Series!
  • @stenly97
    I've done quite a few runs in DS games, but rarely use the weapons you use for those challange runs. Seeing them in action really makes me want to go for different style of run. Great video, Lemon. Can't wait to see what else is in the making :)
  • actually, deacons are always in the top 3 hardest bosses for low damage runs, not this run but worse runs like fist only, or fists only sl1 and crazy stuff like that
  • I’ve really been enjoying the art you do for these videos buddy! All of your content is always really enjoyable. Thank you so much for all your hard hours.
