  • Dark Souls is a game that's very Dark and full of Souls. Go figure. But what would happen if you took away the player's ability to spend souls? Would they be able to complete the entire game?

    I actually did this challenge, and for anyone who wants to do it, i found using the hunter class was the easiest because you can use the crystal halberd in anor londo and have the same health and stamina. That halberd was a meat grinder with buffs and gold pine resins.

    • @Teurger
      @Teurger 3 месяца назад +15

      Yeah, I also did it, and that halberd was insane. Occult club and Blacksmith hammer are also pretty good for random mobs when you don't want to waste durability.

    "We start by naming our character joja, after the soulless corporation of Stardew Valley" completely caught me by surprise. Accurate, though, joja is soulless, and much like dark souls, has random dead bodies and people who have given up on life all over the place.

  • @shinji391
    @shinji391 3 месяца назад +5

    It's absolutely mind-blowing to realize this build trivialized the Capra Demon, while other more legitimate builds and methods gave up at the Capra Demon.
    Imagine how upset you'd be if you never defeated the Capra Demon despite your "correct" play-style only to discover someone trivializing the boss without spending a single soul. Truly Kafkaesque.

  • @EwiwasSmile
    @EwiwasSmile 3 месяца назад +1

    I'm surprised you didn't go for the Crystal Halberd. Like, sure it can't be used for long, but it would've trivialized most bosses, especially later ones like the Four Kings. But the Deprived class can't even use it so you'd have had to make that decision at the very start of the run.
    But hey, I don't mind watching you suffer for our enjoyment, so over all a great run!

And you'd get more bang for your buck, too, spreading it out.
