1:17 Your voice looks a lot like Steve from American Dad and the Pickaxe, i honestly never thought of this weapon, if i hadn't seen a video about it i wouldn't even know it existed, it's only farmable in one of the weirdest enemies of the game
I swear by the pickaxe whenever I do a dark souls run, it may not be the most wieldly weapon but it's very satisfying, and since the only stat you'll need to level for it is strength you can save the rest of the levels for stuff like HP, stamina and perhaps some spell casting and weapon buffs on the side
Ah, the age old Dark souls video archetype: watching a youtber torture themselves with some challenge run for my amusement. The kicker? It's finally someone who isn't objectively exploiting the game to do it.
I liked the video, but I do think you should use better armor. Bandit set is terrible, no poise and low protection values. A better no poise choice would be the Crimson set (could have gotten it at the same time as the pickaxe), and later on, the Gold Hem set. Was it a stylistic choice to only use the bandit set?
@@Tulsy_Grape Why wear armor when I don’t plan on getting hit? Lol, thank you for the recommendations, I’ll look at them for future runs. But I only really wear armor for style, and I liked how the bandits set kinda looked like something an orc would wear, which went along with the little “Orco” lore I was making
@TheFalseYankee I considered that might be your reasoning tbh. I suppose it is kinda...orc-y? That's not a word but you know what I'm saying. Crimson and Gold Hem sets are drip though, please consider them.
Not necessarily. Just because you’d be able to face tank through every boss doesn’t make the weapon in and of itself good. For example, if a weapon has a bad move set, damage, and is hard to get, then it’s not viable, regardless of what armor you wear.
(note, maria refers to itself in third person) maria used a pickaxe for its sl1 run (and a lightning zweihander because elemental damage is unaffected by the damage penalty from not having the required strength and dex)
Wait why am I pinned? Lmao W vid again bro
Because he thought he was slick.....Turns out, that only applied to his brain.
I touched my straight sword until I busted my humanity all over watching this vid

I had never heard of it either until I went through the catalog of ds1 weapons and found it, so I thought a video on it would be interesting!
@@TheFalseYankee it was indeed
Thanks!
This video earned you a sub my friend. Looking forward to more of these if you create them. Watching the scythe one next.
@@therealGenki67 Thank you! More are most definitely on the way

I honestly love this weapon. It's weirdly obscure

pickaxe is viable purely by style points
Frampt: "NO"
W vid i hope you do more its great
@@tremivv9833 Thank you!
Yeah, you can see Manus before the fight. Your arrows can hit him, too. Be careful, though, or Dark spirit N word might invade you
Hes done it
i love this content rahhh

I will, thanks!
Put some titanite into it and the armor is actually quite good. Weighs barely any too. Wanderer set is better though.
8:47 why is dusk in the demon ruins?
@@thagomizer4711 It was just a phantom of a player who was wearing her armor lol
3:42
AYOOO?
Have you tried the Ghost blade?
@@Bad_Grandpa92 No I have not, might check it out in a future run tho!
Dark soul
Minecraft time.
Equip havel set. Now every weapon is viable.

id love to see the great club
I wonder if the great scythe is viable?
Check the backlogs video about it
@@hogaso0076 I wonder if the backlogs video is viable?
@@-RAYZ- I wonder if YOU are viable
