I really liked the knife-to-the-ladder optimization mention. :) The little tricks we find to simplify a problem or situation no one else ever has to solve is one of my favorite things about gaming in general. It's nice to see
I believe the 1H R2 from the Butcher's Knife can get you across the gap to get back to the asylum. I know there's some weapon(s) that can, one of those weird running/jumping weapons.
Also, if you haven't died to Pinwheel, you haven't played enough Dark Souls! Congratulations on finding a challenge run hard enough to check that one off lol.
Fun little fact, that alluring skulls affect the hollows in the basement area. I have had a couple run out from that area on occasion when trying to kill the boar with the skulls.
I watched 14 minutes of this video before realizing how many subscribers you have, the quality is equal to other youtubers with much higher subscriber count.
13:58 well, I was already subscribed when I clicked on a video (which i did from a notification bell) but even though I dont remember watching your videos, i like that one. Keep doing
I've only seen some of your videos, but man, you have such nice ideas, a great style and humor. Keep going brother, you deserve, and with time will have a bigger audience.
@4:50 His attacks aren't unblockable, you have a shitty shield. As much as it would suck, the play is to farm the hollow soldiers for their black shield, because it's got great physical and fire protection, and a really strong stability. You can eat Taurus attacks and even block firebombs, which I imagine are a rough hp drain sometimes. @8:20 Yeahup, Knight Shield. Great alternative :D I feel like you should've just ignored the return to the Asylum, which meant you wouldn't have been able to get the +15... But +14 is good enough with everything else you've done, so it doesn't really matter. Good video! :D
i like the new editing! it’s hard to put my finger on exactly what’s different, but it feels more active and interesting slightly. thank you for the video!
The heater shield from the undead merchant was also an option for a 100% physical blocking shield. It looks like shit but gets the job done. Kinda surprised the bow never came up, since the aiming does the same thing as the binoculars. It's possible to headshot Artorias out of his buffing animation with a bow (or a well-timed throwing knife if you're at the right angle), so maybe that fight isn't completely impossible? But it would be VERY close, and I wouldn't wish that struggle on anybody lol Great video all around!
20:21 If I remember correctly, you can avoid the sword move by two-handing a large weapon and blocking, since the stance you enter makes the blade hurtbox miss.
cooool run, you have a lot of inventive :P when you started using backstep + attack i immediately thought of the pike running attack, i suppose it could have helped with long "trekking" parts
Thank you so much for such good challenge run videos! Keep growing man! It was a better style of video and writing i think. Though you should show you overcome scenarios in greater detail.
Is it not much easier to turn with a bow? It at least feels like you get control a lot sooner. When you were standing on top of the former Undead Merchant you had enough souls to buy one from them(they also sell a decent shield). Actually were you avoiding ranged options on purpose? You never mentioned it but it seemed odd when I was watching. Especially when you were trying to get the Hellkite Drake to come down.
I started this a few years ago, spent like 30 minutes getting stream set up, got to the ladder and was like "oh yea, fuck." Iirc I didn't really play very far bc I just had no motivation after that 😅
Maybe you could’ve just tried some really heavy armour since you aren’t moving anyway, it’d help to just poise through attacks. Smth like Havel or Smough’s set
I'm surprised you got the ceaseless cheese without (seemingly) much difficulty. First time I played i knew about it and he still killed me on my run back lol
Cool video, cool challenge. My only thoughts are that you said "we" way too many times in that script + it really does SOUND like you're reading a script
Hey, I have a kind of speaking issue where I need to break in sentences, or else I sound like I am speaking in wet noodle, do you have a similar issue?
Why do you speak… with the same cadence… for each line of the script? It’s distracting… from the content… and that’s really too bad. This pattern… is unnatural… and distracts from the content. Which is really… too bad… because it’s good content.
Finally, someone playing this game the way the developers intended
If you use the analog stick or the keyboard to move, you didn’t really beat dark souls

When an immovable object meets an unstoppable force
Shortest challenge run (ladder %), over @1:15. Just staying for the following 25 minutes of outro. For the algorithm. 😅
It's so good to see the quality of your videos improving, keep up with the good work girl!!!
Thank you!!!!! I was really proud of this one
Next video: Beating Dark Souls without playing Dark Souls **PLEASE !!**
idk mate editing style kinda cracked (this is the first of your videos ive watched)
A new spelunker video just when I need a distraction from life. You’re a diamond my friend, I appreciate all you do and the wacky ways you do it.
I like the new style! The music a lil louder, cutting out the dead air during boss fights by narrating over it, it's good stuff!
I believe the 1H R2 from the Butcher's Knife can get you across the gap to get back to the asylum. I know there's some weapon(s) that can, one of those weird running/jumping weapons.
i tried it, i couldnt do it
@YourAverageSpelunker my b.

Watching you hop around backwards everywhere 😂 Love it!

"Without moving"...
Moves even more than a regular playthrough.
that's some dedication right there 😂

Thank you! And thanks for the tips!

Starts video: alright let’s go.
Remembers O&S: oof.
I am so happy that i found this channal. I dont think anione is insane enough to play like this.
Aniways, great vid!
Literally two/three days ago I saw someone else attempt this, but limited no movement to just boss fights

Great video all around!
good tips! i didnt think about the bow until the idea of this run in ds2 and ds3 came up
20:21

cooool run, you have a lot of inventive :P
when you started using backstep + attack i immediately thought of the pike running attack, i suppose it could have helped with long "trekking" parts
I don’t understand how this is possible. Bravo!
I love this video, limited movement runs are my fav 👍
Great video, really underrated!
Thank you so much for such good challenge run videos! Keep growing man! It was a better style of video and writing i think. Though you should show you overcome scenarios in greater detail.
Those second and third plunging attacks on Taurus look suspect.... 5:44
you mean the running attack? lmao
I'm a new viewer, so i don't know how was the previous style but I enjoyed this video a lot
thanks groudon
as you go on you only get better and better!!! love your videos queen 👸👸
At 2:58 I said aloud when you mentioned it is going to get worse, "Oh god, Blighttown."
Is it not much easier to turn with a bow? It at least feels like you get control a lot sooner. When you were standing on top of the former Undead Merchant you had enough souls to buy one from them(they also sell a decent shield).

I have a funny comment for you: "Irishman walks past a bar."
Immediately getting blasted with spark mandrill. You have my (up)vote.
Invalid, not enough pain, anguish, and sorrow! (Btw, I love your vids)
Maybe you could’ve just tried some really heavy armour since you aren’t moving anyway, it’d help to just poise through attacks. Smth like Havel or Smough’s set
if you're not lightrolling you backstep slower
Beating dark souls but the mexican cartel is outside my house
Ok I'm invested lol I need to see this done
anybody know the music in the background?
good video love anything ds1
What hollowing does to an mf:
it's painful to even look at
I'm surprised you got the ceaseless cheese without (seemingly) much difficulty. First time I played i knew about it and he still killed me on my run back lol
i had lots of heals, it was easy to tank it
This is cruel. I love it
You probably could have used a bow to position yourself so you don’t have to sit through the binocular animation.
You don't get the bow upon spawning in the assylum, hence why I used the binoculars
@ but once you get to Andre you can switch
i appreciate the music credit popups!
ROOOOOLLIIIIIIING STAAAAAARRRRRRRT
ROOOOLING STAAAAAAAAAAART
Cool video, cool challenge. My only thoughts are that you said "we" way too many times in that script + it really does SOUND like you're reading a script
What is next? Can you beat Dark Souls without breathing? 🤣
You can shot Drake with bow so he drops to bridge
Great vid, felt more human in some way, like you were being more honest or saying stuff just because you felt like it.
thats good! im glad
No poop walk ladder skip?
I had no idea you could avoid triggering both Capra dogs. Huh!
The saaaaaaaaack...
GG brother
attacking is moving your arms...sooooooooooooooooo
THE SACK
thesackthesackthesack
Was there a rule that magic and bows weren't allowed?
in 5:43 he moves, OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO I HATE THIS CHANEL AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA just kinding but idk is a hard run and i love this guy
its a backstep running attack
@@YourAverageSpelunker o sorry
Naa, new players are gonna see stuff like this and think the games be too easy
funny comment about the ladder
This seems terrible to do 💀 ggs
as long as some had some fun the stupidity of this challenge doesnt matter O_O
Hey, I have a kind of speaking issue where I need to break in sentences, or else I sound like I am speaking in wet noodle, do you have a similar issue?
Why would you do this to yourself? Stop it, seek some help
Do this in ds2
Ah but backstepping is still moving. There has to be a way to do so without moving at all. I’ll see what I can find…
Just one small thing: the z in zweihander is said in German way, as "ts" in "hearts".
i know, i just cant say it that well so i just do the English pronunciation
Little bro with the ad 2 minutes in. I think you need far more subscribers before you're allowed to do that.
i dont control when they place ads on my content lol
Why do you speak… with the same cadence… for each line of the script?
It’s distracting… from the content… and that’s really too bad.
This pattern… is unnatural… and distracts from the content.
Which is really… too bad… because it’s good content.
this person has never heard a neurodivergent speak
very underrated
