The challenge run that took 3012 years to complete. That's right, ancient civilisations in 1000 B.C predicted the invention of Dark Souls and the inevitable challenge run that would come with it. Using stone tablets and chisels, they theory crafted for 3 millenia leading up to Dark Souls release. Even with all that preparation time, it wasn't enough and only now, 12 years after the game's release, some British guy called JK Leeds has at last been able to beat Dark Souls with its undeniably worst weapon of all time. Watch this video to follow the epic and amazing journey, with twists and turns that will hit you so hard you'll turn into a load of Elven bread out of confusion. Not for the faint of heart.....

It took me a good five minutes to realize you were serious and I'm so glad I've never used the BK Halberd. I have used the UGS before so I thought all the BK weapons were good. You have saved me from a long and arduous run with this video. Take my subscription for saving me so much pain. OK, dropping the kayfabe. This was beautiful and I'm so glad I decided to look you up from DoomWolf's DS2 OHKO video.
