Can I Beat Dark Souls 2 With Only a Chime But No Miracles? 

Suppose I should have saved this one for Christmas, but I think it's always the right time to go bells to the well.

I’d like to imagine that this character wanted so desperately to be a cleric, but could never figure out how to use chimes to cast properly; so they just used them to pummel the enemy’s face in.

the jokes and word play in this one really make it special, mad props

The reason lightning still does good damage against LGK is because it's raining. You're both wet, so you both take more damage from lightning. His resistance really just brings him up to normal.

This run sure...rings a bell

Google: Use the chime to cast miracles. Bing:

this, unironically, summed up my first couple hours of playing Dark Souls 2, because i picked Cleric, and i did not know i had the mace in my inventory

This has gotta be one of my favourite videos you've released. I'm always amazed how much damage even the most unideal weapons can do in DS2, spell tools, broken straight swords, shields etc. Truly we were blessed by the B Team.

The true miracle biuld is the people we harassed with a bell along the way.

13:39 A copse is a small group of trees. In a functional sense of the area's name, a small forest of hunters.

I love how one of the constants about this game for me has become "hitbox argument? how about NG +7 lost sinner with double broken straight swords and only 6 ADP?" It's such a perfect response, because i still can't believe you did that despite watching it. your content is amazing.

The intro is the best joke ever, also, when are you going to do this with a pyro flame?

Let’s face it, the disc chime has a stupid high damage, it would be my “chime only” and “shield only” run choice

Starting off with a meth addicted Chipmunk's rendition of "For Whom the Bell Tolls" sets the perfect tone for this hilarious vid. The Monty Python reference was especially nice. Press, congrats on the 20k subs!! 🤘😁🤘

THE BANGERS WON'T STOP Give this man a Netflix special.

30:32 just to be precise, the Demons in DS2 have a different name in the original japanese. It's the translation's team fault

Reason why the looking glass knight takes more lightning damage is because water in DS2 buffs lightning damage while also weakening fire damage.

These are such well made videos man you're one of the few youtube guys who can actually make jokes without being insufferable

I was watching something else then I got the notification and here we are. Perfect background noise while I attempt to make it through the Olacile township with humanity active on NG+ with my Solaire build

When I did a similar run for shiggles, I named my character Bell Delphine.

6:11 wonderful reference. That's it. This is an S tier souls channel.

26:40 had me dying lmao “What a thrill” I love your content man. What a great reference to one of my favorite games of all time

I never usually get to see your videos this early on because I am new to the channel, but this time I could. I wanted to let you know that I have been bingeing some of your guides and really enjoyed your content. Your guides are practical and helpful and your editing is great too. Your video was the one that inspired me to try a DS3 SL1 run for the first time and succeed. Keep up the great work!!!

3 and a half minutes in and god damn you're fitting so many puns and jokes in it's just a non-stop chain

2 minutes in and already I know this is going to be my favourite video of yours

Holy shit (pun intended) the tabs you have opened for the Brimstone bit absolutely crucified me.

My man...every video you make...just gets better...and better and better. I'm paused at 51 seconds just savoring that intro. #PupaPower

That Mytha joke took me off guard and made me laugh way harder than it should've

Genuinely the most funny video I've watched in a while, had me cracking up, thanks for the laughs man, keep up the good work!

Slightly late but at 14:18 you can start at the second bonfire, go up the ladder, go around to take care of the ambush guy then standing from where he is, run straight to the item. No roll, no jump, just run. You will land exactly where god intended.

Your script is so nice dude. I like your vids in general but this one is rly rly good.

I'm fully convinced this man has never beaten a souls game in a normal playthrough, just straight challenge run on day 1 lmao

That's really cool your dad was a nun. My dad was a traveller. Mom said he picked that job up when they had me Also this whole video is loaded with jokes I love it

Back in unpatched vanilla, dark souls 2, the disc chime used to have a bash attack that was so overpowered in PVP that it had to be nerfed. Wild stuff.

Honestly, absolute slammer of a video, mate. It's hard to remember cracking up this consistently at a challenge run like this; you're really hitting your stride as a narrator

"I truly takes a miracle to dodge into the Pursuer's attacks with 6 ADP." Me who beat the game with 6 ADP because I didn't know Agility gave more i-frames, dodged through almost every attack, and died about once every three minutes: "I am the church."

Already a certified hood classic!

The reason why lightning still did more damage to looking glass knight is because the devs attempted to make him resist lightning, but him being in the rain gives him the wet debuff which actually makes him still weak to lightning

Pretty crazy how much damage the chimes and catalysts can do.

we need more ds2 content, really underrated game, amazing video still slaps one year later

Doctor: "for whom the bell tolls at 2x speed and 1 octave up doesnt exist, it cant hurt you" THEY LIED

I guess Mirror Knight's lightning defense is somewhat negated because he is standing in the rain - Water = increased lightning damage

Haven't seen the whole vid yet and scrolled a bit the comment section and saw no one mention it but I wanted to point it out, you mention the chime displaying pretty high AR while not dealing much damage, that's because the shown AR is the magic damage. It's really apparent when you run a dark build, since staves (and prolly chimes IDK I only used staves with dark) display outrageous AR values because they are just displaying the combined Magic and Dark AR (even though it makes zero sense since those are two separate values for damage with spells). It was really apparent when I had a knight build embracing the darkness within him mid playthrough, his treebranch had like 400 AR while the broadsword had 200 with roughly 20 ish in str/dex/int/faith. tl;dr displayed AR for magic weapon is misleading.

"going through hell with bells" a missed opportunity for Hell's Bells over For Whom the Bell tolls, but a fine choice nonetheless - your music taste is impeccable, my man!

HOLY SHIT THE SNAKE EATER REFERENCE IN THE MOST MONOTONE VOICE IMAGINABLE HAD ME DYING 😂 You won my sub with that one.

I guess to get through this challenge you need a "Miracle" Also congrats on 20k

"Turned me into a newt,,,,,, i got better" love the monty python reference

What a way that finish a crappy Monday but with an awesome video from my favorite youtuber

Omg I would not have the patience to do these crazy challenge runs. I was thinking of doing a Broken Straightsword or SL1 run in the original Dark Souls, as I refuse to play through DS2 again, challenge or otherwise. If I do I'll have to carefully comb through your archive for the tasty strats. Also you make a lot of hilarious but well made and informative content. Can't wait for you to get the subscriptions you deserve.

Big bell energy is just radiating from this run

The writing in this video is superb!

The enemy: oh a cleric Cleric: im gonna beat you with the chime The enemy: what

The Snake Eater joke was genius

This is prime Press Continue😂 Having WAY too much fun with the chime puns

came to watch the challenge, stayed for the darksydephil soundbite

I have complet faith that this guy made this challenge just so he can have a excuse to make jokes of the church 💀

That damn pupa joke got me kinda unexpected

I'll admit, the pupa jokes didn't really get me in the butterfly video. But when you brought them up out of nowhere it had me laughing! 😂

Dude... For Whom The Bell Tolls, Beelzeboss and Snale Eater references. I just fucking love this guy.

You can very reliably pick up the Token of Fidelity by *_sprinting_* (not jumping or walking) onto it from the ledge above the second bonfire.

Despite the shift in pitch and tempo, I recognise a Metallica song when i hear it. Well chosen good sir, have my like just for that. Now to watch the rest of the video.

PC's puns are absolutely unrivalled, they're unfailingly entertaining.

Yo that cover of For Whom the Bell Tolls is nuts, I want a full version

2:39 should've been "In the name of Lord Gwyn, the Nameless King, and Soul of Cinder"

Your choice of music and the prayers made my day 👌😂

I was doing a meme build "sunlight Trooper" a Priest using a crossbow, i infused and upgraded disc chime because it looked good and ended up beating everything to death with it because the damage was insane omg

This video was an excuse to make puns for 36 minutes straight

Saw this video shortly after it was released and I fucking loved it so much I knew I had to support this dude. I didnt have time to do it right away but promised to myself I wouldnt forget about it. Just gave 15€ right now in support of quality content like this. If you guys also enjoyed it as much as I did and you can spare a few €$ lets help this awesome dude to keep up the great work.

LMAO THE TCAP REFERENCE 😂 Goated*content creator fr, keep up the good work!

This shines a whole new light on the phrase 'Bible Thumper'

The constant stream of irreverent jokes landed gracefully time after time due to your immaculate delivery. This vid was an absolute revelation

I love the Tenacious D reference!

Love your channel. Favorite new discovery in a long while. Cheers

This makes me think an ER Staff only or seal only, (melee of course because magic and Incantations are soooo underpowered in Elden ring obviously) would be a fun one

Another Gem, Thank you press for the reminder that there are good things in this world

The most offensive joke on this video was the horrible “for whom the bell tolls” remix

6:08 set up the scales, I'll get the duck, and we'll see if she really is a witch or not. Cause if you were a newt, I'm an ex-leper

Great video and congrats on 20k subs I will wait for more challenges on Elden ring

My man dropping Blackadder references out of nowhere.

Oh fuck yeah I was just gonna clean the house. Thanks for the top tier background noise.

The mitten squad of souls

love your taste in music

Dude I laugh way to hard at that nun joke. Congrats on 20k my guy.

the fucking open tabs on the brimstone section made me almost fall off of my chair with laughter

25:57 Bimmy didn't put you in hyper mode, Jimmy did.

You know what would have been cool? If Velstäd's Sacred Chime had a gimmick to it's Weapon Art. Depending on what miracle you have equipped it would add on a secondary effect to either buff the weapon or be channeled through it and like the orbs it shoots out. Let's say if you had Lightning Spear equipped. You could use the weapon art to either buff the weapon with the Lightning Spear or have it fire out many Lightning Spears at the cost of one cast of the spear and durability from Velstäd's Sacred Chime. I know DS2 is an old game but it'd be cool if they added a weapon like this in the other games. One for each class of magic would be cool. Imagine a sword that changed secondary effects depending on what sorcery you had equipped or a curved sword that was based on pyromancies.

blasphemous vibes speaking of, a blasphemous challenge run would be sick. maybe like a no rosary bead, no relic, no sword upgrades, and no prayer run?

Brimstone is simply an archaic way to say "sulfur"

Instructional dark souls content is now my favorite type of comedy

This is the greatest guide of all time.

God monty python and blackadder references? I wish I could subscribe 20 times over! You sir have fantastic taste

I love your videos. The cartoons make me laugh so hard and you are insanely good at this game :-) also I love the detractor memes

Mad funny satire in this vid, love it

man, what a great video. thank you so much and keep it up!

What was that inspirational speech bgm in the middle at 20:00 hahah awesome

09:10 are your ansestors the famed clan of Baldrick?

It's been forever since I heard For Whom the Bell Tolls I love that song

loved the snake eater prayer

I like the for whom the vell tols at the start but it feels weird when you sped it up

You did the best Snake eater joke of them all
