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!

I started laughing uncontrollably when I remembered that the flamelurker was a thing.
And the boss that needs the storm ruler.
I completely forgot about flamelurker lol
I can never forget flamelurker. Who is more difficult than the boss after him, who was in the title and intro....ultimate disappointment there.
@@Skenjin doesnt need it
can be done with spells and arrows
It's actually kinda funny just how gimmicky Demons Souls is
"Take your time, I'm not going anywhere."
The Undead Merchant lied as naturally as he breathed.
Lemon fighting any boss in any game: "hmm I wonder if I can kill it with fire"
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.
@@Burning_Marshmallow 😊
At this point I’m sure his thoughts are: “Fight fire with fire!”
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!).
The frenzied flame ending is just a must for a fire bomb run in Elden ring.
Consider, though. The Frenzied Flame ending would also burn Jarburg to the ground.
What Firebomb devotee would allow the Firebomb society to be destroyed?
@@enlongjones2394 what's more important? The fire? Or the bomb?
@@chrisandrews397 considering we can’t use pyromancy, and can use lightning bombs, the bomb
My god the bta dev watches lemon
..... you know, you can hit the storm kings tail when it drags along the ground if you stay near the entrance, and with the thief ring, the swam will ignore you. its possible to beat storm king with fists only, I can't see firebombs being too much different.
Your a wizzard :0
Wait, you can hit that thing with your fist?
@@littlebeasty5839 yes, you can.
Unfortunately I don't think it would matter since old king allant has 5370 health which I doubt 99 firebombs will be enough so rip regardless:(
@@tylerparker4047 Not to mention Old king allant is also strong against fire
In the end... how could a bomb that burned so brightly, suddenly burn so pale...
@Press Continue
Omg! I love your videos dude, been a fan for a while. You and Backlogs (Lemon) are my two go-to's for challenge runs! 😎
Sometimes a Souls game will just drain your inner fire…
Hurrah for Lemon's Pyromania !
Woot woot
Ye
At this point it's probably pyrophilia
You think Lemon is just the result of an experiment based off *that* Cave Johnson speech?
God damn what cool ending
I wonder if Elden ring firebombs only is possible with only 20 + 10 firebombs
But you can carry a ton of components for crafting and if he is blessed enough to allow all bombs not just fire (sleep, holy, poison, etc) then he might have a small percentage increase of success
Also think of all the buffs that are available in Elden ring, Flame Grant me Strength, Golden Vow, Flame Scorpion Charm. He’s got a pretty good shot at doing it
@@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.
explosive stones and stone clumps serve as backups
More than doable with all the boosting gear and buffs, pain in the ass but more than doable
Even if he didn't succeed at beating this challenge, this was a great effort and I can't wait for elden ring firebomb only
I don’t think he’ll ever do the elden ring run unfortunately cause he doesn’t like the game
@@swiggityswagunion1223 yeah I know but crazy things can happen he might play the game to aleast try to beat the challenge
I'm surprised you got as far as you did to be honest, It's been a longtime since I've picked up Demon's Souls but some bosses like flamelurker are imprinted on my soul. I can't wait to play the remaster one day.
The remaster may be one of the finest video games ive ever played tbh
I never had played Demon's Souls until it was remade for PS5, it really is fantastic. I personally believe it's one of the easiest of the series, but that doesn't lessen how much fun I had with it :D
Crazy how the PS5 is almost two years old, and 90% of people that want one still can't GET one
@@amberhernandez theres secret methods that very few know
@@amberhernandez When I got mine it was just nose to the grindstone levels of effort. Followed people who notified on restock, tried again and again. It only took like a week of concerted effort but I got my hands on one. That being said; the fact that it's required at all is ludicrous.
This is a really impressive challenge; great job Lemon!
Apperantly, the answer to the titled question is no; you cannot beat Demon's Souls with only firebombs. This one is really good!
You could, you can hit The Storm King with fists so firebombs are possible.
Whoever does the maiden voice, is doing a good job. Sounds similar to the actual voice.
tis his wife i believe
The only problem is that she said "rended" which I'm not actually sure isn't a word but it doesn't sound right to me
@@ExpandDong420 It is a word!
Rend
It basically means to tear something apart
@@StardustCorvid yes but the right word here would be rent as it "it was rent asunder"
@@ExpandDong420 well yeah but they're trying to make it mirror the original dialogue-
Dang, Mrs Lemon's voice over is so good. It really give me the chill.
I would say the best part is the history behind these runs, how you started with your girlfriend suggesting only firebombs, and now…the story continues to its grand finale. You could even say each main land area could be its own video with how many dungeons there are.
Wife*
21:43 Calling the Maneater bosses Hall and Oats made me smile.
I see you hinting at Elden Ring firebomb run. Remember, firebomb run is the gateway drug.
If that's what you call hinting I'm kind of scared what you call obvious
jar run
please, more demon souls!! it's an underrated game and seeing someone like you post videos about this game is amazing!
The ending was sending shivers down my spine.
Great work lemon.
Sad to see demon souls taking the better of the holy pyromaniac of the goddes. But the lands between won't be save from him.
Elden ring is going to be interesting with its firebomb equivalent for pretty much every type of damage but also the fact that you're not really limited by your souls but by pots
Nothing better to start the day on my morning commute by watching another brilliant video by backlogs! Only found your channel a few months ago but I adore your content (even as a souls noob myself). Much love from the UK!
WHAT A VIDEO. What an exciting ending. Love how you make your content!
Wait was what i just saw the best teaser video ever?
Boy I cant wait for the Eldenring run.
Great vid as always, Lemon!
Keep up the great work and great vibes too, always fun to listen to ya.
The backlogs be like “ohh shit here we go again”
Really refreshing to see someone attempt a challenge run and actually still make a video for it even if it fails and is impossible. Most people seem to only attempt a “can you beat X with X” run if they already k ow it’s possible and an awesome ending transition!
I adore the cinematic and highly dramatic way you explain you can't do it and you're moving on to another game. So well done.
Love the ending 😍
Quality content as always! And that music sting at the end; glorious.
16:54 the stun... the lasting hitbox terrifying
I love the narrative that sprung up from these videos. And Yaaay Elden Ring!
I don't know if it's just me but I love the narrative twist you put on these firebomb runs. The ending monologue of this video literally brings me to tears of hype, I love rewatching this video so much
The moment i saw the pot system in elden ring i immediatly thought "i cant wait to see a 'firebomb' only run of this", and now it seems the time is soon to come
Amazing video great story telling and very informative about demon souls I think I might go try complete the game again
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.
Allant has 5370 hp
Tbf there is a chance he could have defeated Astrea. But even if it is possible, the others aren't, so it doesn't matter much
That hall and oates joke caught me off guard 😆
Loving these challenge videos, it's very similar to ymfah but your commentating is more personal and allows me to multitask while I listen to it in the background, keep up the great work!
I love this channel, I have watched all of your videos and am really excited for future uploads
I was shocked that this wasn't the remake. I like it, seeing godlike graphics every day gets exhausting.
Such an absolute badass transition at the end
Hall and oates. That’s a great reference. I’ve spent the last months literally watching one video of yours before I go to bed. Thank you for the effort and entertainment in combination with these great little references. Much love
Impressive. The effort this took, was huge. Respect from the bottom of my heart.
Just started watching and can't wait for flamelurker battle.
Sad to see you finally got beaten by a souls game, but excited for Elden Ring! Keep up the amazing videos
I have nearly finished 40k minis, a spare hour or two for painting, and a new backlogs video. Today is a good day.
Big fan, keep up the good fight. Can't wait for the new merch. I'd love it if you had hoodie options
Idk how I managed to miss this video, but I’m glad that I’ve got another one to add to my firebomb series playlist.
What I love is that you will make an unironic Hall & Oates joke.
22:33 - "Half of Nelly Furtado's attacks simply disappear from the fight" Nice reference there. It was interesting to see how this game looked on PS3. I got my PS5 recently and and the remake looks and plays amazing but it always good to see the original.
I hope the Elden Ring one allows pots of any effect as well as things like explosive stones, I’d like to see what kinds of things you could do with different status effects
from submerged lemon to flaming lemon, what a character arc
Can't wait until it starts
I've gotta say, that ending filled me with way more HYPE to play Elden ring myself than any of the trailers or other youtubers/streamers.
Can't wait to see you bring the Godess's light and flames to the unclean and unworthy. May her scorching embers bring serenity and oblivion to those who would oppose her chosen, her paladin of flame. Her one and only, Lemon.
Demon's Souls is still one of the best. Absolutely great level designs and over all world. The bosses aren't hard like later series, but very fun.
Agreed. This is the game that got me into SoulsBorne Ring games.
@@happiestaku6646 "SoulsBorne Ring" cringe
Just came across your channel recently gotta say super entertaining dropped a sub keep up the dope work man!
Of all the things to continuously appear in like, every FromSoft game, I never expected firebombs to be one of them.
I don’t understand why I just love challenge runs in the souls series. Thank you for this wonderful entertainment!
That was some really great storytelling. Instead of focusing on the failure of the run you turned it into a long form teaser for the next game. Very cool.
Ah, Demon Souls. My first game of these series. And favorite one too. Played it almost twelve years ago and still remember most of the bosses.
I absolutely love that you’re doing demon souls runs! I don’t even wanna watch anybody play Elden ring right now.
More demon souls!
5:08 always cracks me up without fail. "Have some pie....cinnamon?"
Lemon, you lunatic, I love these runs. You convinced a buddy and I to abandon our sanity on a crossbow-only DS1 run- we just took down O&S last night, despite only using +5 light crossbows.
Gotta say love seeing the original instead of the remake brings back the nostalgia of picking this up used and becoming my favorite game and what made me get darksouls1 when it first came out
“Take your time, I’m not going anywhere” proceeds to go literally everywhere in boletaria
you have quickly become one of my favorite people to watch. got me interested in souls-likes again. thanks man
That We're at at the end of the ep with the elden fing music was awesome
Love seeing your runs lemon, I’m currently doing my own bombs only run on elden ring, and I’m stuck on fire giant, I even have them RUclips streamed so I have proof
Sooo...has Lemon been an acolite of th frenzied flame this whole time? Also love the lore your putting into these chalenge runs. Keep up the good work and may the light of the goddess burn brigh twithin you.
"That bell is probibly giving you flashbacks..."
My man Lemon, I still get ptsd from "Please... HELP ME! *UAAAAAAAAAARRRGGH!!!*"
Just rewatched most Firebomb videos, im so stoked for the Elden Ring one (if its possible or even attemptable without losing your sanity lol)
The way dregling got shot made me audibly gasp. I treasure that character like Patches.
Loved the Nelly Furtado Man-eater reference!
Your roomate legit makes some fantastical voices 👍
And those demon souls videos are great
I immediately though, "Oh there's no way he can beat Flamelurker and Storm King." And hey, that fire resistance on Old Monk is no joke apparently.
21:07
Ah yes "Magic Mist-les" XD
Never change Lemon
Love your vids!
"She wouldn't put me here to suffer"
Are talking about the same firebomb goddess that laughed when you asked of you could use a shield?
Shields aren’t firebombs, are they?
Hearing that Chicken Invaderst theme was a throwback and a half.
Thank you for reawakening that memory!
Everytime I see the thumbnail, I think it's the Doomslayer throwing the bomb
Thanks for sharing your voice, it is a pleasure to listen to you.
I really like the backlogs. Bravo lemon.
Finally, a video on my favorite game.
Man watching this really makes me realize how much demon souls was just a beta for dark souls so much was refined and redesigned but familiar
what a nice thing to end the day with. thank you lemon
Ah, I love this game so much, I need too get back into it
Ahhh quality content as usual ✨️ 👌
Ohhhhhh yes. I've been waiting for this one. Nice surprise to see it on PS3 again too. GLHF 🍿
Literally got chills with that outro god damn was that great
Doin my part for the algorithm. Love your stuff, hope you are doing well enjoying yourself
I love when you played the Goron city music :)
The mention of the lands between made me happy.
the truest test of the firebombs to be unable to use only them but only for a time brother
Watching this truly makes me appreciate the beauty of the remake, even if it does retain all of the original's underlying charm (and jank).
Elden Ring is going to be interesting.
I did a run with consumable weapons, which includes the pots, but also basic throwing daggers and such. Inventory limits on pots are going to be a major factor there. I don’t know that Malenia, for example, can be beat with pots alone, unless you trick her. AI for every throw.
On the other hand, the enemies that dodge pots are programmed to dodge when you throw anything, even if it’s not aimed anywhere near them. So it’s possible to trigger a dodge and trick the AI by throwing a dagger at absolutely nothing, which could fit in with the run.
The biggest roadblock is gonna be the final boss. Can’t use Rot Pots on the second phase, and it has a big chunk of HP. But with determination, shenanigans, and maybe the ashes of a fellow firebomb goddess devotee, it could be possible.
GG! It's a shame you weren't able to beat the endgame, but I'm surprised you got as far as you did!
you CAN keep Garl from healing himself. He'll only do it if you step far enough away from him, if you keep close, and keep up parrying and hitting him, he won't have a chance to do it.
But The False King has too much health for 99 firebombs to take him out so it is a bust run.
Refreshing to watch og demons
Awesome little lead up that did into Elden Ring. Hope you intend to "beat" Demon's Souls by frenzied flaming the entire universe
“So the world might be rended” un ironically is Bars!
I feel like waiting for the Elden Ring Firebomb run is going to be a bit like waiting for TFS to do Buu.
TFS at least stated clearly that they'll never do the Buu arc in the normal format.
On a creative level they ran out of jokes. On a youtube level, everytime they posted DBZA in the last years the video got copyright struck, sometimes causing half their videos being taken down for weeks, because the copyright system is absolutely broken
