Can You Beat Dark Souls 3 Using Only Throwing Knives? 

A knife well lived...

I'm honestly impressed that you could beat the Nameless King with throwing knives, I bet Lemon from the Backlogs would be proud, since he couldn't do it with fire bombs only

...why do I have a strong urge to eat Toblerones right now?

If Lemon has the Firebomb Academy then you definitely should open a Throwing Knife University

Going back to kill the Nameless King was the greatest plot twist of the century

"I don't want to use fog door glitch, I think it's wrong" Me thinking about all the times I've been hit through the fog door...

Everyone is talking about the knife puns but I love how you keep giving Greirat different names

I was not expecting a recipe in the middle of my dark souls throwing knife challenge.... a welcome addition

imagine being a legendary warrior so ancient time has lost your name, and some pretzel-looking guy in a loincloth just walks up and throws 120 knives at you and your wyvern, ending your legend right there

I think seeing a crow quills run would be epic

glad to see you taking a ‘stab’ at this challenge in ds3 too. (:

That Nameless King victory was massively impressive! Top marks for perseverance.

Ah, dammit JK... I was hoping you'd forget that the crow quills even existed. But you didn't and then you simply chose not to use them. I mentioned before that I started this same playthrough a year and half ago, but then didn't continue with it because it lost the audience vote for the final video before Elden Ring's release. After that I just never came back to it. But back then, crow quills were my secret weapon to make every single boss in the game viable given that it's an unlimited resource. So I thought about putting it back on my list if you wouldn't be able to defeat both DLC's, so that I could then succeed by using the crow quills. But you did consider them after all and didn't use them intentionally, which makes that idea fall a bit flat... Crapalicious... you're evidently more perceptive than I thought you were... how very disappointing 😞But it's to be expected that doing 3 knife related runs has sharpened your senses. So perhaps you are the sharpest knife in the drawer after all. Well... suppose it's a good thing because the crow quills actually really suck with terrible damage and they have an annoying spread out hitbox and their throwing animation is this awkward leaping animation (and for some reason applying bleed, frozen weapon or poison to the weapon has no actual effect on the quill darts) so using it against the DLC bosses would be a massive pain to begin with. Still, makes me feel a bit sad that my evil plan seems a bit dull now. Could I perhaps get a therapy session from you next time?

you should allow yourself to use the crow quills for dlc bosses, it is a dlc weapon after all

When I saw the 8 damage on Vordt I thought this was impossible - the run was a dance one razor's edge but in the end, you were a cut above the challenge. Though I still can not believe how blade-end-ly the thicc fog gate stole your win from sister Friede, you deserved that one!

Love the Xenoblade and Persona songs in the background! Very impressed with your Nameless King kill, that dude took me the longest to kill on my first playthrough and that was with normal gear and weapon. Good job! Impressive tenacity all around really, these kinds of runs are not walks in the park.

I just found your channel a few days ago and with the few im able to watch when im not busy I truly appreciate the jokes and the random recipe vids!

These knife puns are a cut above the rest.

Wow, genuinely impressed that this was possible, especially that insane Nameless King kill. Good job, man! This was a killer video!

Very nice video my guy! Keep doing these👍

Great run, great video! Huge congratulations on the Nameless King victory!! Going in I thought that fight couldn't be done, but you gave me a welcome surprise; you were really a cut above the rest! 🤣🤣

Great video! Certainly agree with the Crow Quills not counting for this run but really hope to see that run eventually

Tremendo video bro. Tienes un excelente humor y la edición estuvo excelente.

dude you never fail to crack me up. Please never stop making videos

This was awesome, nice work man!

That was very impressive and I even learned something new (I didn't know about possibility to pick up items from outside of Boss arena). Great job! Seeing pretty good result with only knives, I feel encouraged to try beat my favourite Boss (Friede) with only consumables.

Never a dull moment in your videos. Cutting-edge stuff.

Commenting before watching...it's gonna be more painful than all the others imo, but also theoretically doable. You got this!

The "cooking/baking" segment was really funny!

I’ve been patiently waiting for this video in the series. It’s finally here

Always a pleasure to see you upload

Been waiting for this one!

The guardian shiv is a godsend for consumable runs, too bad it's so late in the game. Ng+ gaming moment

I’m so upset with the amount of puns😂 Wolnir miss, wolnir death experience!! I sighed heavily after chuckling

Very nicely done as always.

Love the vid. Have you ever tried using a big blanket to minimize echo?

Love ur videos keep them coming. ❤

Nameless King was so epic. Had me shedding a tear of awesomeness

Came for the dark souls... got a sweet ass cheese cake and a great run, thanks sir looking forward to more dakesouls.

Damn bruh, gj on Nameless! Well and Princes, and Deacons... aite just gj on it all lol. Absolute madchad 😵 'No-rope bungee jumping' almost had me chokin' on my dinner XD

Knife to see there’s still some challenge being made about this masterpiece of a game, Ds3 is really a cut above the rest and the gameplay is the sharpest, most responsive of the 3

Idk what i want more now, that cheesecake or a bloodborne knife only video...

I love to listen to these grand tales while running errands. I can almost picture that grand bout at the top of lothric castle! 🤔

Low key high key, the Nameless King Throwing Knife only to that metal solo is peak RU-vid. What a perfect video Mr Leeds ❤🎉

GG for the run❤ and that cake was delicious

Old video - but I loved all the warhammer esque over the top commentary about the epic battles of running between bonfires 😂

Great video! Could you have "savestated" before even triggering Friede's fight, while the fog wall isn't there yet, and dropped the knives inside the room maybe?

Cheesecake was a surprise and it actually smashes. Great vid!!

Whoah dude this is crazy. Respect

That Nameless King fight 🤯🤯

That nameless king fight was magnanimous. You are a certified gamer for that one.

YES! A NEW EPISODE OF: Sad man who has lost his humanity cooks something + Bonus Dark Souls Challenge

It's a shame too, because a nearly infinite throwing knife is locked behind the demon prince's fight

I love these little cooking videos in the middle

I would love to see a run with the crow quills only one of my favorite weapons from that game please do :)

Seeing the strat i first thought you were *throwing*, but now i can see that it was a pretty sharp Idea. Knives Video

certified banger! awesome content

GG for the run. For Friede, there is a tactic used in bow only runs: in phase 1, when she is invisible and prepares her "big attack", if you land an headshot she staggers, but she stays in that position, so you can headshot her agin and again until she dies. Check Ymfah's video (DS3 bow only) at 16:10 I don't know if that would work with knifes, but if it does, she would be doable.

if I tried this id have a brain aneurysm so thank you sir for the awesome content

The baking segments are so wholesome and such a great touch

I feel like it would have been neat to go to use the crow quills but only for the bosses that werent possible otherwise (meaning, the DLC's.)

I love these kinds of videos, only thing I wished you'd do is kill the bosses before and see if you can kill the bosses ahead

For the "leave a set at the fog wall" trick - I did something like this! in DS2, I dropped several bags off NEAR the bonfire, THEN cleared the boss run, and ran a bunch to move bags one by one. So I only had to beat the enemies once. Except, in DS2, I think the bags persist if you die? Not sure if that works in DS3.

It's really knife to see a new video from you!

A run with the DLC weapons would be cool, especially the crows feet. Maybe a Follwers javelin wepon arts only? Even when you run out of blue you can still throw the javelin.

2:32 ashy gerbal im fuggin BATMNH (blowing air through my nose holes)

I love the park where jkl said it Knifing time and Knifed all over them

Came for the challenge, stayed for the Toblerone cheesecake recipe

I used to suck at fighting Nameless King but for whatever reason during my last playthrough something clicked and I destroyed every single boss including Midir which is the hardest boss to me.

Crow's Feathers should totally count towards this challenge, I think. I reckon it'd make more sense than leaving bags outside the gate, since it isn't an exploit.

I remember in one of the games, might be ds3, if you looked away just before the poison effect ran out, it would restart the timer

i love when he said its knifing time and he started knifing everywhere

Love ur content mate. As a father I approve and love ur sense of humor too. Keep up the great work u do. Thanks

You're killing me with the puns. I've never groaned louder in my life.

I love how when throwing the knifes at the dragon you can see them bounce off his scales and yet it still does damage to him. Pretty amusing

JK Leeds: just says The devourer of Gods Me: gets flashbacks from fighting the DoG in Terraria Calamity Mod

bro thinks he's barons castle, with all these quips. (love both your channels)

Man, you do love NKs SpearGrabAttack

The cake looks fire bro

You could make an Elden Ring throwing knife only. In that game there's a good variety of different throwing knives. (Regular ones, Kukris, Fan daggers, and three you can craft, being another regular throwing knife, poison knives and a magic one, i din't know if i'm forgeting any kind of knife).

You really demonstrated your perseverance on the old king

My favorite part is the throwing knife cameo that he’s using to cut the consumed kings cheesecake

me after seeing that nameless king montage: you don't have the right, o, you don't have the right

normal and poision knifes are dealing thrust damage and are boosted by the leo ring, wich boosts theire counter damage very great

I'd love to give this video more than one thump up for the music choice alone (Ethan Meixsell and Persona 5 especially), even if have to start another P5 playthrough thanks to you :(

Almost die with the Mary Kate and Ashley Reference HAHAHAH

8:48 🐦

Wouldn't RTSR+Morion Blade bump your danage up high enough to best Nameless and Freide?

I love the image of a green wrinkly guy with violet ponytails beating a actuall god with toothpicks.

" you look so stupid " YES INDEED got me dead there

damn, the nameless king kill with throwing knives was dope

Calling them “disposable me’s” is now something I’ll start doing

You can use purging stones to make yourself look nornal again and she doesn't leave! She only leaves when you cure the dark sigels. (I use purging stones all the time cause hollowing looks awful)

I don't think I've killed decons without using the alluring skull since the game dropped. It just makes the fight even easier in such a hilarious way

Congrats! You didn't even need to use the Church Guardian's Shiv (reusable DLC knife) to beat the game, which is all the more impressive.

I appreciate the Challenger Andy reference. Very underrated masochist.

28:36 You really need a music list, I’ve heard this one so much over the years and have no idea what it’s name is.

I had to use Dragonslayer great axe and its op ability to beat Champ gundyr, cant even imagine doing it with knives....

26:08 Is the song in the background here "Mansion World" by Deadsy?

theres always more knives! and WELL DONE on this run. i despise these inventory limits in DS3, bloodborne, and Elden ring, but even trying to contend with them you managed incredibly well. I cheered when you downed mr. nameless.
