Can you beat DARK SOULS III with only Firebombs? 

"...this run is finished. Hopefully my Goddess lets me rest now." Ms. Lemon: Laughs in Yharnamite

I was expecting the screen to go black after rekindling the fire, then just lemon going, "Oh shit wait the bombs!" And blowing himself up.

What backlogs thinks we learned: DS3 can be beat with firebombs. What we actually learned: you can negate the arrow storm

I can see this series expanding to literally any game that has firebombs or equivalent and honestly I'm here for it.

I also wanna yell out "I'm the king of the bone zone!" Before dying horribly.

ok wtf, i just binged your last two dark souls firebomb runs, and then 10min after I finish the last one you post this? Absolutely amazing

There is a way to get a leg up on the Greatwolf. He appears in two locations in the painted world outside his boss room. If you deplete about 2/3 of his health, you can "kill" him in both appearances. Then, when he shows up for the real fight, his health will be slightly reduced, by about 20%, I think. I know the wolf isn't the main issue, but that might help with the drain on your resources he causes and give you a few bombs extra for the spartan.

“The fire fades, the lords go without thrones. There is only one answer, throw a fire bomb at the flame.”

14:15 Gotta say... i wasnt especting a high lord Tony even thought it was kinda obvious... Also the "bye tony!" Into a "fuck youuuuuuu" was conedy gold

i would love to see lemon play the convergence mod with all the variety of firebombs

In my head cannon, Lemon picks up the broken ceramic from the bombs, and shivved all the unbeatable bosses to death.

Fun fact about 11:55 It can actually be either Siegward OR Patches who rescues Greirat in Irythill. Evidence: If in Firelink, Patches has dialog about Greirat after he has been sent to plunder Irythill. If you don't rescue Sigward from the well, or fail to advance his storyline before sending Greirat out, he (Rat) will still be saved as long as Patches is alive. If neither Patches nor Siegward are alive, Greirat will die in Irythill.

My man's man Greirat deserves all the respect in the world. No weapon, no armour and built like a stickfigure he sets out into the world to get you some helpful items for your journey. He knows he's a side character, but by the firebomb goddess, he's determined to support you as best he can. What a well written character.

Dude has to know that we don't watch, or rewatch, these videos because he's successful. We watch it to hear him talk about how big of a pain in the ass the random restraints he's put on himself while attempting to finish these are. The Backlogs, please never change.

Was waiting for this final video to come before posting this but here we go. Firebomb: Long ago during the age of fire. A woman learned all she could about every form of magic. After she had mastered the elements she created portable bombs for the common layman to utilize in battle. The Gods did not grow fond of their magic being used as mere tools to humankind so they promptly had the mage executed. This mage to this day is still revered as a goddess who granted the powers of gods to humankind.

You could place firebombs by the Nameless King’s fog wall by summoning another player and having them place the bombs, before they black crystal out and restart the process. The only issue would be invaders ruining the fun. For Friede, the arena gets bigger in phase 2 so maybe that’s why the fog wall is thicker in phase 1. Maybe you could even reach the bombs in phase 2?

For the bloodborne run, you’ll probably want to get the accused brew as that’s a Molotov equivalent and will help deal with bosses like Laurence.

Do you have some objection to backing up saves in runs like these? Would have saved you a lot of time in the Yhorm fight.

12:54 "Better luck in Elden Ring, fella" Did he... Did he predict the Erdtree Avatars?

Some quick testing, and I found a way to transport bombs to the Nameless King: 1: Stand on the corner of the bell-lever platform, above where there are protruding pillars/platforms directly below. Walk as far out as you can without falling onto the pillars below (not terribly precise, there is a fair bit of leeway), 2: Drop the stack(s) of bombs. Do it right, and the drop item is in midair, above the lower pillar. 3: Return for more bombs, repeat until necessary amount is piled up. 4: Drop down onto the pillars below. Pick up one of the mid-air stacks, and drop it back on the pillar. Repeat until all bombs are on the pillar. 5: Drop down onto cloud layer. Move the bombs up to the fog wall. Be careful about the placement; the fog wall is of the thicker variety, if you place them in the center, you can't reach them. Off to the right side of the fog wall (before entry), however, there is an area where you can grab them again. (Off to the right, but not completely up against the right stone wall). Depending on the exact placement, the bombs may be easily picked up from the boss arena, or they may only be reachable as long as you are moving into the fog wall. Now get back in there and get this done properly, Lemon. You deserve no rest for such sloppy work.

Could you have stacked the firebombs in the sister boss room before the fight begins? It would mean you would have to first try the boss but would, potentially, give you all the necessary ammunition to do it.

I see Lemon employed the tactics of the brave sir Robin for this run

Soooo not sure if you know but their is a save state mod which speed runners use to practise bosses. Could have saved you some time getting and setting up the boss.

Bro WTF, how have I never heard of that Aldrich arrow dodge strat before. That's a nice one! Oh btw, tip for Bloodborne, you might want to turn it into accursed brew only which is essentially an arcane molotov that uses quicksilver bullets. Would have to be done on NG+ though so there's that. But even just any% might not even be physically possible with only molotovs alone. There are 4 molotov versions and I haven't done the math on that so maybe you'll actually prove me wrong on that.

Oh and Bloodborne is impossible for sure with just molotovs. If you want a run with molotovs in it you can do consumable only. Oh and don't worry consumable only Bloodborne is not easy.

Iirc the untended graves are basically an alternate reality where the fire was not linked and faded away completely. As to why it can be accessed through some random basement in Lothric Castle however, I have no idea.

Wait until he finds out he could've used the Skull Ring from Ludleth to keep Yhorm's aggro

I may be misremembering this but doesn't the greatwolf have a gimmick where if you defeat it in it's out of boss encounters it has less health in the boss?

A truly spectacular one. Merry Boxing day to Lemon, Ms. Lemon, and everyone in the comments

Yo kudos though for even trying the optional bosses! If I was doing something like this I would coward out and not even attempt anything other than the bare minimum amount of bosses to clear the game. Pity about the Yhorm fight. The moment I saw that happen I was like "oh no please tell me Lemon backed up his save first". Oof.

Just started watching, but holy cow I love the intro bit so much :D Expertly done ^^

“Greirat sends his regards” Thank you. Love seeing love for the great Grey Rat. Rest easy King, I will stay safe

*beep boop* feed the algorithm *beep boop* Excellent content, good on you for persevering. +1 for Fallen Knight set. I think every character I've run through ds3 has worn it for at least part of the run.

Congratulations lemon, you beat the dark souls trilogy with only firebombs (and other flavors)

1:05 I was lowkey expecting you to say you are only able to use firebombs and firebombs accessories. King of the logs

Your patience really is the stuff of legends

I know this isn't related to the video but i want to say thanks for getting me into Salt and sanctuary. I beat it recently and had a blast with it, thanks to your wiki i did not suffer that much with massive island (i always getting lost in big maps without a map).

Lemon is quite right about the overhang (as he showed). Alternately, if you are a sorcerer or just happen to have a decent intelligence, the Golden Scroll allowed Orbeck to sell Twisted Wall of Light. It negates all of Aldrich's ranged attacks (yes, the Moonlight Arrow-storm is a spell) and I think it may work on his Lifehunt Scythe (though I never bothered to risk it). No good in a firebomb only run, but useful if his projectiles are kicking you around his sludge pit.

This has the vibes of Lobosjr's first Dark Souls 1 "Use What You See" Randomizer run. Had to restart it twice due to being essentially soft-locked out of progress, slow walking without the stats to weild weapon.

Love all the content you do. Can't wait for Salt and Sacrifice!

I love dark souls 3 a lot, but build variety is it’s weakest point. Kudos to beating vanilla Dark Souls 3 with only firebombs, but the fact you could handle chunks of the dlc’s of the other games with only firebomb’s elevates them more in my eyes.

Thanks for making my day lemon. I’m sorry you had to sit through so much torment but you did a really good job on the video.

How about leaving the firebombs in the ledge of the entrance to nameless and transporting them that way to the fog gate in two steps?

This is probably one of the more masochistic Soulslike challenge runs I've seen.

To all these "Can I beat DS3 with only...?" the answer is yes 90% of the time. It is still amazing to see it accomplished!!! It is limiting so many features of the game, yet the person is skilled enough to defeat the whole game!!! Thank you for your video!

your patience in the face of sheer agonizing grind is the stuff of L E G E N D S thank you so much for the great content

Glad to know I’m not the only one who destroys the sorcerer teachers things when he leaves

The amount of effort put in this run man. Thank you so much ♥

so excited to watch this, been in the car for hours. Thanks for making my day better dude!

Him: manages king of the storm with firebombs Me: cant consistantly get into phase 2 and almost always dies do to the camera

I'm convinced Andre is a remnant of the Blacksmith Deity.

13:30 I would pay for a mod that made the skeletons talk like this

As someone who takes a long time to learn games, your dedication is inspiring :D

I was thinking this run was gonna be bad for your mental health, but then you re-did the entire thing for Dragon Slayer Armor, and i realized you died in the inside early in this run getting real close to the other madman ymfah there my dude, be careful

Another amazing run. Thank you for your struggles and patience in making this.

Thanks to you, I now call every skeleton in a video-game Tony.

I am maybe 30% sure that you actually travelled through time when you left Firelink Shrine. The Untended Graves is in the same time as everything in the game, and Firelink is in its own pocket time space or whatever. That's why Gundyr has been overtaken by the black stuff outside Firelink when he's simply standing guard in the Untended Graves. Just gonna point out that I have no idea if this is right.

I admire your dedication to entertain us with suffering. Good job.

24:00 Holy crap, Lemon. I didn’t know I could respect you more.

Lemme just say this, The Thumbnail for this video is beautiful

Next step : legend of grimrock using only fire bombs =p (ok you'd be allowed other elements too!) actually I think the second game might be possible like that, if I remember correcttly you can do bombs with alchemy and you have a class that can multiply alchemical ingredients.

If I remember, BloodBorne Molotov only is literally Impossible without cheating, a consumable only is the same

That Pontiff ember restoration right at the peak of the emote was so satisfying i had to watch it a few times

This is so weird seeing someone making videos on Ds3 in 2022 who hasn't mastered every fight. Kind of fun to see

Those skeletons sure sound canadian!! Btw backlogs we’d be fine if u just started an earlier save instead of having to restart the entire game when you mess up.

so its a consumables only run but with less consumables?

absolutely incredible. Don’t expect you to want to do this run anymore after what you’ve endured but if you still wanted to give the dlc a go, you could try summon in phantoms to only drop you some bombs. Once again epic video with story and everything!

So. I just finished the game yesterday and I kinda fell in love with the game. I'm definitely going to play the other ones too and I just wanted to say that I'm really enjoying watching your videos after surviving several heart attacks from the game

Now for demon souls

I thought the title said "Darksouls 3 : Femboys only" and I have to say Im disappointed

Love your videos man, I appreciate all the work put into them.

I love these videos! It's hard to find youtubers like this, that have the dedication to runs. WP

This was much needed during the holiday weekend!

great content, great editing! had a nice watch man thanks a lot!

I watch a lot of challenge runs, but this, especially the bombs by the door, is above and beyond. Well done you.

Man I just love this guy’s content so much! Plus all the little lore his production has is great! Plus I just loved the whole Tony lore. Really interesting.

I really appreciate your dedication to the challenge.

holy shit that was impressive. i'm also noticing you got way better at video making! congrats on everything man, it's been a joy watching your channel grow. kudos on the perseverance

incredible job man. I can't imagine the level of commitment this video took

I admire the dedication and discipline that goes into suffering through this, but the thing that really blew me away was the Gwyndoling arrow tip. I've cleared this game at least ten times, and I never knew the altar had a "roof" to shield you from the arrows. Just imagine how much rage I could have saved myself if I had known sooner.

Great video lmao. Excellent narration. I commend you for your perseverance. I like the into the breach music too.

17:17 I didn't know. Thanks for the tip.

Why do i enjoy watching you so much lol i mean i look forward to a new dark souls challenge from you more than any other youtuber

your videos are so well written and edited, good job my guy

4:13 Fall damage in Dark Souls games particularly always bugged me… you can use a 500lb sword to block a hit from a massive dragon and absorb that force into your core, back and legs and get you fall 10 feet and just fucking die. When I was 13 I jumped from the second story roof of my house regularly and I wasn’t fighting giants and lava STDs… Then… they rub it in your face during cutscenes or scripted events where you casually fall hundreds of feet just fine! As if they’re laughing at you like “hahaha remember when you missed that jump and died from a 15 foot drop with full health? Check this shit out… yeeeeet!” Ughh..

The intro for this was perfect

I can really resonate with the "I can see the code" comment on the Dragonslayer Armour boss fight, it doesn't happen with every boss I fight but there are some hard fights where halfway through the fight, I already know it is the one. Nameless King, Radagon/Elden Beast and Hoarah Loux were a few where it happened

Thanks for all your time and effort

The overhang cancelling Aldrich's arrow attack entirely makes that fight sooooooo much better, thanks for showing us how to do that mate!

"perhaps you've seen it, maybe in a dream..."

Jesus, the amount of "well gonna have to do it all over again" in this run, you are a mad lad. I feel obligated to like and subscribe for such effort lol

"I'm gonna have my engineers invent a *COMBUSTABLE LEMON* that burns your house down!" -A genius/god.

Your videos are put together so we'll. I'm going to binge as much of them as possible

The amount of effort put into this vid is unreal you deserve more

You're crazy, and i loved it, i don't have so much patience, congrats!

Carl... I almost cry when he fall.

16:50 was really clean

Thank you, this was fun to watch

Cant wait to see you try this in elden ring. These videos inspired me to focus on crafting during my playthrough. The new versions of fire pits and other consumables are so much fun to use.

I love this series it has kept me occupied while I am quarantined
