@@tototriceps I would say it's your preferred option for a pure pyro run against fire immune bosses, and a few boss like Seath, Artorias, sanctuary guardian etc are more resistant to fire than physical so it could be better against them.

@@calvin8464 yeah it's basically always worse. Unless in some specific dmg reduction scenario where the split can be beneficial, but that's niche asf. Those scenario if we take black flame vs great combustion, the later is better in basically every scenario, unless the ennemies has extremely high fire resistance paired with low to moderate physical resistance or fire immunity
If i remember correctly, having summons in four kings fight and doing same amount of damage is not a bug, but rather the combined boss health of the four kings is fixed amount, only the health of the actual wraiths increase, this makes it so you can finish the boss fight without even seeing the 4th king sometimes if your damage output is high enough
It has to be something like that, because all the other bosses scale with summons. Makes sense considering that the 4 kingz HP is pretty big for DS1 standards.
"Does anyone ever pay attention in class?" Bro, I went to an American public school. Of course, I didn't pay attention. I actually ended up writing a novel instead.
I have a idea of a challenge run called Reverse Build so what it is say like you are going through the game wanting to use a certain weapon/armor in mind. You must allocate your stats to the opposite of what the weapons/armor requires. So if a weapon requires 40 Str, you have to put 40 points into Dex but if a Weapon requires Str & Dex you swap that points requires example greatsword requires 40Str and 20 dex your points would be 20 Str&40 Dex. This challenge can be done playing any Dark Soul title or Elden Ring. This challenge is not meant for magic casters in mind cause you wouldn't be able to cast any spell. You're more than welcome to prove me wrong on this challenge go right ahead magic casters.
Just one thing about the fire imune bosses: if there was a way to duplicate spells, in the same way we dupe materials, they could be killed with black flame - since its damage is phys. + fire. I test on pc once, using forbidden sorcery - aka debug menu. In hypermode, quelaag can be killed with 22 casts of Black flame.
You always keep your runs challenging enough which I love, I feel like if someone else did this run they'd just use fists to grind levels and then go from there to beat the game
It's always amazing watching people do shit like this, knowing fully well that I can't because I'm just not that good at the game, lmao. I always get so impressed watching people do runs like the Kirk armor run, broken straight sword run, and the level 1 run, but... this one?! Crazy
You can still damage the 4 kings boss bar if you hit a king during its death animation. This way you can make the fight shorter as you don’t have to actually kill the last king, or maybe even the third king if you do enough damage.
Feel like using power within on the second attunement slot with a ring, and then swapping the ring to rtsr or the abyss ring for 4 kings to maximize damage output for casts might've been helpful to use for a few situations
@@tototriceps might've worded that wrong, but you use power within while the second ring is equipped before jumping into the abyss, and change the ring after cast but before jumping, then you have the buff plus safety in the abyss 😊
Nito’s friendly fire is the only reason I beat him on my third try. I recently finished my first play through of this game (thankfully without zero stats) and I killed Seathe on my first try (not hard) Bed of Chaos on my fifth try, Four Kings on my third, and Gwyn on my second. I think the only reason most of the game was as easy as it was was because I had softcapped dex before I beat the butterfly and had a +15 Bandits Knife and +12(?) Uchigatana by the end. Therefore I had a rather broken dex/bleed/crit build. We’re talking 1400 damage to Gwyn on a one handed riposte. I only finished like 2 days ago and I was so proud of myself. Thanks for coming to my Ted talk 😂
Actually, the fire safe demon in lost Izalith is weak to fire damage. I don’t know how you could forget or don’t know that, because he clearly doesn’t have any link with fire at all
for 4 kings, why wouldnt you do the black firebombs in the easy part of the fight, then try and get multi hits with the pyromancies once the room gets busy?
For more of a challenge really. The lowest stamina class is the Sorcerer and for some reason DSR doesnt allow me to lower the max stamina as much as i like... so i choose the class with the lowest amount of starting stamina which is 88 for the sorcerer :)
Why didn't you get the Ring from Dusk that increases casts in the beginning but halves HP? You were pretty much in oneshot range all the time anyways no? Hydra not killable I assume?
To be fair its meant to just be a sad fight. They built up the mighty god-king Gwyn then when we finally get there to usurp the throne he is just some hollow with sad music.
@@stradify1 how does though disprove it? i was talking about every other character name, not every other word in existence. also issa joke touch grass or ass jus dont touch a keyboard. glad to know his name isnt smoff tho. its not like character names ever change between japanese and english releases cuz that would be stupid. right? right!

"RIP my wife. Anyway, give me money. :)"
Dark flame does a mix of physical and fire damage, great combustion is 100% fire damage, that's it, that's the difference
Yeah i know, its really good for PvP thats why GiantDad uses it. Havent found a good use of it for PvE tho yet.

i heard that split damage is always worse than just one type of damage is that the case here?

@@sonsy8762 so why is black flame used in pvp? (I've never done pvp)
The firesage demon is not immune to fire damage, in fact he’s weak to fire damage ironically!
WAIT WHAT!? You are correct, but how does that even make any sense Miyazaki haha
@@tototriceps Firesage Demon is basically Stray Demon in every way. No fire attacks either. His "fire" is just cosmetic
He uses Fire Sorcery which has the traits of fire...but magic damage. Thats the lore@@tototriceps
@@tototricepshe's not actually on fire, he's just really red.
@@goldeneyekiller101 The deep lore is that demon farted and all his fire protection went away, Thanks Miyazaki, truly a King's Field moment !
You can also throw Poo at Quelaag as she's susceptible to Toxic.
Good idea actually, totally forgot about the poop strat haha
She is if I remember correctly, the most resistant boss to Poison and Toxic, it takes a lot of pies to toxic her

I wondered if its like that for others as well, as here in Croatia nobody ever listened xD

Would be impossible to put into a youtube video title 😅
I approve of your music choice. Zelda music the GOAT
that four kings fight gave me physical pain, the gwyn fight healed me thou
Literally :D
I will never tire of the pimp slap attack of the Dark Hand.
That is a good way to put it 😂

There is but its very difficult.
You can definetly beat them with Black Flame + Dark Hand. I was just way to exhausted fighting the Four Kingz for 3 hours haha
Croatian here, I can confirm our government is worse than the gaping dragon's moveset.
😅😂
@@tototriceps Bro I said this then later on found out you're croatian lmao
3:55 I got whiplash from how he just changed how he said "per ring"
22:14 About the Abyss having no physical border …
The Kingz are the border haha
You always keep your runs challenging enough which I love, I feel like if someone else did this run they'd just use fists to grind levels and then go from there to beat the game
I dont know what you mean by grind levels haha. This was a no leveling run, the point was to find ways around our limitations :)
Loving the dark souls content toto, keep it up
Glad you enjoy it! I love making it 😁

You dont need to be "good" nessesarily to do it, you just gotta do it if you get what i am saying :D

I know, but thats not a good strategy for this run.
@@tototriceps why wouldn’t it be a good strategy? It’s free damage and shortens the fight. It has no downsides….
Feel like using power within on the second attunement slot with a ring, and then swapping the ring to rtsr or the abyss ring for 4 kings to maximize damage output for casts might've been helpful to use for a few situations
You cannot unequip the abyss ring. You die if you do that.

Love the vid Toto, really enjoy warch ur challenges
Glad you enjoy it! :D
Great Video, can’t wait for the Ds3 runs to be uploaded
DS3 Item & Enemy rando is already uploaded. Expect the Mist Only DS3 run next!

From the very first words, I recognized that You are a fellow Slav. Our accents are so distinctive
Very easy to recognize slavs haha
Very cool to see you can block Nito's aoe for not much chip damage, I did not think of this during my SL6 no upgrading all bosses run
You need a high magic resist shield. The Dark Hand was perfect for that haha
His moveset is more incompetent then the Croatian parlament had me dying xd
I said no lies there haha
Actually, the fire safe demon in lost Izalith is weak to fire damage. I don’t know how you could forget or don’t know that, because he clearly doesn’t have any link with fire at all
Gwyn fight is indeed plin plin plon as usual
It always will be haha
14:14 Toto BeatBox 💯
normal pyromancy run
next run is gonna be dark souls but my pc is turned off and i thew it out the window
Already done actually haha
Accent+Dark Souls+Torture (Challenge) = Like
Glad you enjoyed :D
Lets go new video!
for 4 kings, why wouldnt you do the black firebombs in the easy part of the fight, then try and get multi hits with the pyromancies once the room gets busy?
What is even the EASY part of the fight? The other king spawns after 45s and he will murder you.
@@tototriceps when there is only 1. You got to where there were 4 on screen. Would you tend to agree that 1 on screen is easier than 4?
Great video, never realised you were Croatian until you made the croatian government joke lol 🇭🇷👍
Glad to see many fellow Croatians and Balkans in the comments honestly :D
@@tototriceps of course, pozdrav iz Osijeka :)
Man.. love your dedication...
The dedication comes from the joy of these runs :D
I literally never knew until this video that there's an NPC summon for Four Kings. TIL
I also forgot about her until chat reminded me haha
great video, as always
Thanks :D
From zero to hero 😎
GG
GG 😎
Ornstein and S M E G
Oof that four kings fight 😳💀
Prediction. Pain.
O&S as basketball players is very goofy
Thats the point haha
New dark souls video l'ets goooo
Dark Souls is the best Souls :D
less go
21:28 *_NANI!?_*
Yep... 360 degrees of pure suffering.
Poggers, insane challenge and a great video came out of it
Thanks man :D
what a hard run
This one was pretty intense. Four Kingz especially.
Is it the first #soullevelnegative90 challenge run ever?
For DS1 yes!
I think that you forgot Manus in NG+ 😈 🤡
Your accent is awesome :D
Croatian accent, thanks man :D
Is there a reason why you didnt start with the Thief (for masterkey) or Pyromancer (for the pyro hand) ?
am i stupid?
For more of a challenge really. The lowest stamina class is the Sorcerer and for some reason DSR doesnt allow me to lower the max stamina as much as i like... so i choose the class with the lowest amount of starting stamina which is 88 for the sorcerer :)
@@tototriceps Ah okay i am stupid :D
Thanks for the explanation :)
SL1 is OP. We do SL0.
was this an alternate to 1 hp and stam?
This one is honestly harder. The 1HP 1STAMINA run atleast allows you to use magic.
Helo I watched this live it was funny
Very fun challenge run :)
W video
Thank you :D
Can anуone please say what is the song on 12:52?
Why didn't you get the Ring from Dusk that increases casts in the beginning but halves HP? You were pretty much in oneshot range all the time anyways no?
Hydra not killable I assume?
I could have, but it was not really nessesary. RTSR is always superior.
do this with ds2
I just might!
Have a like for your Beatrice appreciation. c:
Beatrice is the best babe :D
@@tototriceps Yes, indeed. If I ever see someone cosplay as her, I'm proposing then and there.

Thank you :D
when ac6 dumb runs
Not that interested in the game for Challenge Run yet...
Pfffft go figure the final boss would be the easiest, that's Dark Souls 1 for ya !
To be fair its meant to just be a sad fight. They built up the mighty god-king Gwyn then when we finally get there to usurp the throne he is just some hollow with sad music.
Thats why i love Gwyn. He is an perfect ending to a sad story as his weakness makes total sense.
Zero Souls 1
I love how the gaming community is just slowly going back to the old games. Ik most people in these comments are playing games in the mid 2000s
Those are the best games. Even tho Elden Ring is great, its still nothing compared to the original Dark Souls imo.
guys i found out some absolutely horrid horrible horrifying news...
its pronounced 'smoff' not 'smow' 🤢🤮
executioner _smoff_ 🙅🏾♂️👎🏾🚫
There is no way its actually pronaunced smoff...
@@tototriceps dude i swear to god. every other time you see a name that ends in "ough" in the game its pronounced with a 'f' sound.
It's "smow." The katakana version of the name confirms this. Also the word 'though' alone disproves your "ff" sound point lol
@@stradify1 how does though disprove it? i was talking about every other character name, not every other word in existence. also issa joke touch grass or ass jus dont touch a keyboard. glad to know his name isnt smoff tho. its not like character names ever change between japanese and english releases cuz that would be stupid. right? right!
you sound Romanian, did you steal all the stats?
I am Croatian and i didnt steal the stats xD

face cam and twitch chat 🤮
If you dont like it, dont watch it 🙃
nice one toto allways nice one toto love your vids
Thanks man :D
