Can you beat Dark Souls 1 with only Backflip Attacks?

The curved sword weapon class in dark souls 1 replaces your kick with a neat little back flip attack. The premise of this challenge is I can only use that specific attack, with some tweaks to prevent me from going over the edge of insanity. Watch as I struggle through the game for your enjoyment.

FUNFACT: Since Qulaag's fury sword is a chaos weapon, the fire damage on it will scale with how many humanities you have in your counter, next to your health bar. It does cap at 10 humanities, but it can still provide a pretty nice boost in damage.

@evanseifert8858 Год назад

I've heard that it caps at 30 humanity, but I'm not sure if that's accurate.

@kugerblitz7388 Год назад

@@evanseifert8858 nah i have used the weapon, the cap is 10

@TheRedRobin96 Год назад

@@evanseifert8858 You might be confusing the number 30 with the Chaos Witch covenant since you need to turn in 30 humanities to unlock the shortcut to Lost Izaleth.

Kick attacks are probably the most infuriating thing I can think of. I did not know Nito had a grab attack by the way.

@lordhellstrande2763 Год назад

I've only ever seen it once and got caught in it. I guess Nito just had enough of my shenanigans

Ds2 flashbacks of trying to guardbreak. I have no idea why it is a buttoncombo, instead of a button, even controller has free button r3 or l3.

@bolson42 Год назад

@@insertusername9755 Whenever i try to guard break in ds2 it never works, which sucks against turtlers because they’re so annoying to deal with in that game. But sometimes when i’m just normally attacking it’ll stick me in that stupidly long animation and i’ll get hit because of it.

This one was really snappy and I liked it!

I didn't about Nito's skeletons remaining dead if you quit out either. That's fascinating, because I'm pretty sure they respawn if you die.

@CurvyKirby2.- Год назад

That's probably because quitting out just reload the area and doesn't respawning things but dying and resting at bonfires does

@minoan13 Год назад

A tip for anybody that wants to do this run. You can rebind heavy attack to make jump attacks more consistent. Everybody is different, but mainly Q is used for the right hand heavy attack. It is a lot easier to press Q + W at the same time rather than the cursed controller controls. This does obviously come at the cost of using Keyboard and mouse, but you can always switch out for the fights. edit: My bad I realized that the backflip uses the normal attack. Principle is the same just rebind the right weapon action (attack) to Q. Great video once again.

@HEADSHOTPROLOL Год назад

Maybe he explored this but I'd be surprised if just a simple Steam input bind doesn't do the trick, though maybe you can't time things manually?

@Laezar1 Год назад

@lordhellstrande2763 Год назад

Personally, I think challenge runs with little caveats is more fun to experience even as watchers. I tried a Cuphead peashooter only playthrough and allowed myself to choose use a different shot after about 25 or so tries. I only felt the need to do this for Honeybottoms and the Devil as I am nowhere near good enough at Cuphead to actually do full peashooter, but I'm happy with how it turned out

Steam input is a godsend for fixing some control jank with Fromsoft games. It took me less than a minute to open the controller settings in the shift+tab Steam overlay, enable Steam input, and then "add command" to R1 -> gamepad -> forward left stick. Left Steam overlay and now every R1 input from a neutral position on the analogue stick is always a kick/backflip.

@watermelons2921 Год назад

You can skip getting the dark moon seance ring by jumping into the statue blocking your path and quitting the game while you're in the rolling animation. This will cause the game to think you're clipped into the statue and it will deload the object to save you from getting stuck. This works for the boulder doors in the asylum and sens fortress as well

In this video catalystz uses the same trick to break the boulder wall in the asylum around ~2 minutes. m.ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-wFECjN-9oGU.html Basically just run and jump into the statue while aiming for one of the flat parts of the floor by the feet. Quit out, and this will cause the stand up animation. If positioned correctly, the statue will dissappear. Please let me know if you try! I'll keep trying to find the video explaining it
