Yeah it's better because you can reset it, and almost no bosses are immune. Sucks that the dancer is though. Also, I might be wrong about this, but I believe ripostes cannot trigger the bleed effect to activate unlike with frost.
@@Wuuff Yes, I was wrong about that. Bleed can indeed activate during a riposte. In fact, when a riposte consists of 2 hits, which is the case which most (if not all) weapons, it can activate on either one of them.
I wouldn't go that far XD but I appreciate it. But yeah shame that Ymfah never made a "how to be OP without spending souls" video or something along those lines. Would be a catchy title.
@@paarkour83 Probably, but I don't think we watch these guys for their abilities but rather the insistence, knowledge of the game and editing style. Ymfah is more memey with tons of songs and clips and little jokes while PressContinue is more of a in depth commentary of the challenges.
@@PressContinue the wind effect is pretty cool, I did PvP with the Storm Ruler my first time playing and before fights I always got charged up for the wind effect to have it during the fight, good times
I love these videos. Great editing, informative, really good stuff. I also love the presumptuous nature of "how to" being in the title, as if I could ever do this. You believe in me an awful lot which I appreciate.
Oh but you could. And although most of my viewers don't actually try to replicate my runs, but some certainly do. They are guides for a reason after all.
@@PressContinue I loved your SL1 series btw it inspired me to do SL1 runs myself and now I can even finish it deathless (: Love this channel and the mindset you have while playing ^^
Assuming that you never died, only killed every enemy once, and never got overkill bonus. We can find the exact worth of a Dark Souls 3 run (minus infinite hollow area)
Wow this is a cool idea. I never thought to do this. Ds3 is a game I'm actually willing to do these kinds of awful runs. I somehow got started in wow classic after a like 12 years away from wow, but I'm gonna go back and do this one day.
You're something else. Awesome vid and you have some skills lad😃 Well done. Btw your SL1 was imensely helpful and reason why I was able to beat DS3 on SL1. Thanks. Keep it up.
@@PressContinue It was very difficult Im not good on low levels nonetheless Ive managed. I love soulsborne games. Btw your run without touching going to Hunters dream freakin epic.
@@benconlin3557 Yeah the shadows are a pain in the ass on BL4. But hey at least you don't also have to do it with un upgraded weapon where you have to restart the entire playthrough if you die :)
KNM Gaming Guides haha I couldn’t put myself through that, if I died a long way through I wouldn’t have the heart to start again and I’m not nearly good enough. I ran out of beast blood and struggled to avoid their hits. I may try again one day but I’d prefer a sekiro challenge, not sure on what though
I did this run before and i never thought of using stormruler! Quite intersting. I chose assassin for the 11 int(that poison staff for various bosses like halflight and gael) and 14 dex(you can get a bandit knife from killing greirat). So i spent 1 level on int and 2 levels on str (12 str, 14 str = irithyl ss, two handed dragonslayer axe) and rest goes to stamina. This whole run felt like an easier version of sl1 no upgrade run
I recently started the same run but with a very different approach. I started as an assasin, using the 5 levels from yoel and carthus milk ring gives just enough stats for my set up. I use the warden twinblades and frozen weapon to inflict both frostbite and bleed. It dosnt work for every boss, but carthus rouge is easy enough to farm for cold resistant bosses, and using the irythill straightsword and a torch work well against the bosses that dont bleed. For wolnir, I should have had the smarts to use the storm ruler, would have been a better option, but I didnt remeber it so I got the morion blade for hypermode and used the normal twinblades with lightning resin. Is it better than the one in the video? Probobly not, but thats the route ive set myself on and I just got past wolnir so Im sticking with it.
Oh given the different starting classes and the 5 free levels from Yoel there are a bunch of different setups that you can use. The one I used is definitely not the only one or even the most effective. In fact, if I had to do it over I might consider starting as a thief (bandit knife) and then use the free levels for strength to wield the irrtyhl straight sword for frost.
Kinda surprised this was possible. Then again I'm also kinda surprised you didn't loot the bow at high wall to get the blessed red and white shield for easy healing
That didn't even come to mind to be honest. In general blessed infusion is such a minor healing factor that it doesn't make that much of a difference in the first place.
Okay, okay. I know this doesn’t fit with the spirit of the challenge run, but _technically_ you can level up 5 times with Yoel for the low-low price of 15 deaths and *your literal humanity* (so basically for free)
“And I just love that the butterflies can hit you from off screen. That is just great. Really puts a smile on my fuckin face.” Is it great or is it quite poopa?
Did you know that you can 2 hand your left hand weapon by press holding triangel, with that you can put vords greathammer in your left hand and the pyromancy flame in the right hand
I was doing the same run, so I thought this would be easy. Just to realize that my run banned frost and bleed dmg, and I should always be at sl1, which just made the game a nightmare. Currently, I'm on dlc, and dlc is hard as hell with all these restrictions, the rest of the game is quite easy though, apart from: Abyss watchers, dancer, and pontiff, rather easy bosses on itself, but the second phase is a nightmare
I wish this was slower like your SL1 lol I enjoyed copying that basically move for move but I’d be stopping constantly to check the video. Would you say this is harder than SL1?
Well it's short because there's not that much too it. Yoel levels + Stormruler + vordt hammer + pyromancy flame + Prisoner chain... and that's basically it. And I'd say that these fights are pretty awkward because you need to switch constantly, but you have way more HP than on SL1 and that makes a big difference
KNM Gaming Guides I see what you mean. I’ve never really tried frost so I might give it a try. Are you doing any challenge run guides for Sekiro that aren’t insanely tough? 😀
Well, I would say that insanely tough is a good description for no deflecting, no blocking, no damage on NG+3 and NG+7. So no, I'm affraid not. If you want a more managable challenge run in Sekiro, I'd say to simply go through the game without using any prayer beads. So base vitality/posture.
This is something I've wondered about for ages, and it's a really cool video. I think the main reason it has no views is because your channel isn't too big and the length of the video. If you have the first part as one video, then you had the stream as a second video, you would get so many more views. Awesome video though
Well maybe and maybe not. In my experience, whatever I try, it doesn't result in a lot of views anyway. Most of my top ranking videos are long. And when it comes to series, views decrease rapidly for the farther you get into it. It's also possible that if I seperated this video into two videos, the summary would go just as much views as it is now and the full length video would get even less. It's all increddibly unpredictable. Ultimately it's up to the youtube algorithm. Well, at least I changed the tumbnail to make sure it's clear that it's a summary followed by the full run. Perhaps that will get better results. I doubt it, but it's possible.
Technically transposing the boss soul IS spending it... Spending implies an act of trading X for Y, and transposing trades one state of the soul into a weapon... All that aside, good job ^^
The very first sentence of the video explicitly states "without spending any souls from your soul counter" so transposing souls is fair game as long as Ludleth does it for free. (also check the description box)
@@PressContinue I'm very aware of your personal rule-set for the challenge, and it was honorable to boot, i'm just specifying that in context of what "spending a soul" would mean in lingual contexts, transposing them would also be disallowed. It was a fun poke :P
@@deviltheferal892 Don't do this to me, dude! :D I just started this run, and was thinking the same thing, but managed to tell myself that "is fine". I haven't transposed anything yet (up to deacons and watchers) and now I'm thinking if I should or not! :) Also, I'm thinking taking the run to both DLCs, and it would be double your fault for questioning this! :D
Ciaran is the hornet, she loved Artorius the wolf, the Abyss Watchers are his descendants/disciples, so there is a relationship between the ring and the boss. The wolf knight armor, (Artorius armor), doesn't appear in the dark firelink shrine handmaiden's inventory until after Watchers either.
Sooo much faster going for the left (Wolnir's right) wristbands FIRST. I'll never understand why people go for the right. Even the damn all bosses speedrun does this, absolutely boggles my mind.
I can do an all bosses soul level 1 run but this is too crazy for me. At least then I could upgrade my weapons and stockpile on the various resins so I'm still doing good damage for level 1.
why is he hating on vordts great hammer so much at the end? xD its my favorite weapon in the entire game and i pretty much used it in every playthrough i ever did, upgraded ofcourse. i only switched to smoughs great hammer before pontif, because if you did yhorm first thats the earliest you can have +5 weapon, if you play the game in the intended route and twinkling titanite weapons upgrade the fastest since at that point you will have exactly 15 twinkling titanite, if you picked all of them up, but you dont have access to chunks yet and can only have a few titanite scales by that point. and i find soul of cinder and nameless king insanely easy with a +5 vords hammer since you can just use the weapon art and tank/poise through their attacks until they stagger.
Oh I didn't actually hate on it. It's a solid weapon. The thing is that I simply wasn't used to the moveset of greathammers, so my muscle memory kind of got in the way.
First of all, amazing challenge and amazing run man. Also, Demon's Souls without spending souls, maybe? It also has a mechanic where you can trade boss souls for free and some op early weapons (Crescent Falchion+1 and Dragon Long Sword +1).
Yeah, I've obviously had that idea for ages, but it would have to be more restricted than that, because it would simply be too easy. It's basically like SL1 with just a little less damage output. Heck even on SL1 I made sure not to use any magic projectiles. So it would be a kind of boring video I think. Moreover, I unfortunately have to shy away from Demon's souls content since it doesn't perform well enough.
@@thefatgamer338 Its only 5 free extra levels from Yoel. Without that the run would be very similar with the irrythll straight sword instead or vordts grearhammer
Well, I performed really poorly against SoC but I still won, barely, but still. At least compared to SL1 you have decent amount of health. So you can make quite a lot of mistakes.
@@PressContinue TL;DC: Hornet does not work on pontiff, gundyr, king of storm or demon(s) prince. don't know on nameless, i cannot stagger him reliably to try. works on humanoid bosses like watchers and friede. Personally tested. Now, for the Don't Care part :) You're right maybe i'll give this run a try, got all saves corrupted a while ago so not really in the mood to grind to max out a char. Anyway, got in your same situation about hornet ring on my (mostly) SL1 (5 lvl in luck to get dark hand) no upgrade run but throw it out the window on Dragonslayer Armour, being killed offscreen for the Nth time by the bullshit butterflies made me delete the char on rage quit. ;) At least Vs Aldrich you can use the arrow volley to get close to him and do decent damage.
@@ag0ny What? The wiki does say that it doesn't work on champion gundyr? But also not on other bosses? Why not? I always assumed that it did. That's pretty screwed up
@@PressContinue I dunno why, sorry i don't find the video footage on my xbox anymore to show you. I was in an argument one time with a guy over one of my video because he told me hornet does not work on pontiff, so i tested it myself with some bosses. if you do a bossrun with a NG+ char you can try. Maybe if I can find a friend to pass hornet ring over i will post a video.
LOL, this specific route cannot be done deathless because of the extra levels from Yoel. You could do it deathless of course but not with Vordt's hammer. Thief would be a good starting class then for Bandit Knife and the stormruler for bosses that cannot bleed. Or irrithyl straight sword would be the obvious frost alternative.

Nope. Can’t do it. Can’t kill onion bro like that.
There's physical & elemental but no one warns about emotional damage
Ok but what about without upgrading any weapons and no range attacks?
What ranged attacks?
@@PressContinue like spells and bows
@@thefatgamer338 Well but that's what this already is right?
@@PressContinue true but you can level making it easier for you
@@thefatgamer338 Its only 5 free extra levels from Yoel. Without that the run would be very similar with the irrythll straight sword instead or vordts grearhammer
nice play bro i love this game let us support eachother
I’m sad that you missed the Undead Bone Shard
2:27 missed bone shard here(?)
Yeah, I guess. Doesn't matter that much
Rewatching it in 2020😉
Nice :) and my first video of 2020 will be up in about half a day or so
@@PressContinue Awesome👍
You killed onion bro!!!
According to my lawyer I can neither confirm nor deny that
Just found out that kick is hard
Not only can I NOT wait for Elden ring for my own enjoyment, I cant fucking wait to watch you do nonsense challenges on that masterpeice
Can you do it in in ng7 ps4
Requires killing onionbro. Run invalid
Yeah... that is indeed harsh
so it boils down to Step 1: unga Step 2: Bunga
u spent vordt's soul on the hammer tho.
0:00
Cool, but i still have nightmares for SL1 soul of cinder...
Well, I performed really poorly against SoC but I still won, barely, but still. At least compared to SL1 you have decent amount of health. So you can make quite a lot of mistakes.
@@PressContinue TL;DC: Hornet does not work on pontiff, gundyr, king of storm or demon(s) prince. don't know on nameless, i cannot stagger him reliably to try. works on humanoid bosses like watchers and friede. Personally tested.
Now, for the Don't Care part :)
You're right maybe i'll give this run a try, got all saves corrupted a while ago so not really in the mood to grind to max out a char. Anyway, got in your same situation about hornet ring on my (mostly) SL1 (5 lvl in luck to get dark hand) no upgrade run but throw it out the window on Dragonslayer Armour, being killed offscreen for the Nth time by the bullshit butterflies made me delete the char on rage quit. ;) At least Vs Aldrich you can use the arrow volley to get close to him and do decent damage.
@@ag0ny What? The wiki does say that it doesn't work on champion gundyr? But also not on other bosses? Why not? I always assumed that it did. That's pretty screwed up
@@PressContinue I dunno why, sorry i don't find the video footage on my xbox anymore to show you. I was in an argument one time with a guy over one of my video because he told me hornet does not work on pontiff, so i tested it myself with some bosses. if you do a bossrun with a NG+ char you can try. Maybe if I can find a friend to pass hornet ring over i will post a video.
@@ag0ny A Hornet ring damage test video. That does indeed sound like a good idea for a video. I think im going to do that pretty soon
Do this but deathless????????
LOL, this specific route cannot be done deathless because of the extra levels from Yoel. You could do it deathless of course but not with Vordt's hammer. Thief would be a good starting class then for Bandit Knife and the stormruler for bosses that cannot bleed. Or irrithyl straight sword would be the obvious frost alternative.
jesus christ, he didn't even pretend to be sorry for siegward.
Imma lil sowwy though
never knew wolnir has a sword xD
But wait. You spent a boss soul to get Vordt's weapon.
0:00 very first sentence of the video (also read the description box)
i refuse this challenge no harm will come to onion bro
He's no dead... he's just sleeping
Isn’t leveling up spending souls ?
Yes. That's why with the exception of the free 5 levels you get from Yoel, you cannot level up in this run
@@PressContinue oh sry I didn’t watch that part. My bad 🤦♂️
And I thought sl1 run was tough
And you could combine them for a nice mixture
Now imagine if this was on NG6+ :)
holy shit i had no idea there was a dragon skip at lothric castle
cant say git gud. this guy is guud
