The premise of this challenge is that I can only use items that are found in the area that I am currently in. For example, only being able to use Havel’s Armor in Anor Londo because it is only found in that area. This challenge also showcases a lot of different armors and weapons I haven’t really used before so hopefully it inspires you to do something like this.
Anyways, let me know how I did and if you end up doing something similar. And stick around if you want to see more in the future. Thanks!

Huge credit to @jkleeds1031 for the inspiration of this run. His idea in Elden Ring was so cool I had to do it myself for a game I’m more familiar with.

I replayed Dark Souls 1 after months of not playing it just to wonder if I can beat the Capra Demon my first try by throwing poop at it. Apparently it's easier than not throwing poop at it.
Great concept and great video!
If I may give one suggestion: I think you could turn up your own volume a bit, sometimes I found it difficult to hear what you were saying.
But I absolutely enjoyed the video anyway and will look forward to what else you come up with.
I'm always impressed with dark souls youtubers and you aren't a exeption well done on this amazing video
bro didn't even notice this content quality was nowhere near a first video
Very good
Very good video, excellent job for your first one.
There were some very small details and cuts like when you were listing the rules, but you did an amazing job overall, keep at it.
Love the creativity of waiting to kill Lautrec until Anor Londo! That was a neat idea!
a real man would have tried to chopp off gapping dragon's tail with the crossbow then kill it with its own tail instead of just buying a weapon.
Nice video idea man, I am going to try to do the same
good video. thank you
That sounds really fun actually 🙂
Absolutely incredible video man- really glad to see more DS1 challenge runs too
great job dude! I cannot express how happy I am that there are still Dark Souls 1 videos being produced, 12 years after its original release haha. loved watching it!
You would have gotten my sub just for that Crash Bandicoot music, but the whole video was great! I can sense a great surge in subscribers in the future
I absolutely love this challenge idea, I might just do this myself
Eyyyy Death's Door OST perfected this video
this was your FIRST video? if you liked making it, definitely keep at it. good amount of explanation, and great job keeping focused on the situation at hand, while referencing when things from later, or elsewhere would come up. as someone who knows the game well, but not this type of run, I really liked how it was covered.
Nice one man, deffo down for more of these challenge runs!
yeah the reason why I have over 200h more in ds1 than the other is that I have a good programm that lets gives me random equipment I have to find in game and than use
I am not allowed to use anything else (except the start weapon) and have to get the equipment as fast as possible
and it creates nice runs
I would say a weapon upgrade I never used is crystal.
I won't see a good reason to use crystal weapons. they might be strong but the fact that I can't repair them ehh
challenge run you could do. can you beat Dark Souls as gehrman the first hunter
you need the full set of marvelous Chester
use the scythe then upgrade it to life lifehunt scythe
Avelyn crossbow
started class be thief
backflip ring must be equipped at all times
Really good video. You could pay some more attention to the soundtrack, maybe sinchronize the beats of the song with final blows on bosses and such
Good job man
Holy sh*t dude, i was surprised when you said this is your first video.
I like your calm approach to everything and had a lot of fun watching this challenge.
I'll stick around for more content for sure 😀
Oh, so it's that challenge, but for a game that's actually good. Nice.
Good job man. Fantastic first vid. Lemon and Lenny should be proud of the mentions.
Genuinely impressed with that Manus kill.
need to do a run like this sometime sounds fun
Waiting for the laito only run 🔥🔥

>implying you aren't a pretty princess
Quite a late comment but really nice video!
Audio editing could've been a bit tidied up in some parts but it's still really good for a first video overall.
Extremely high quality video. Keep up the good work. Thoroughly enjoyed it.
"And fourth, NO "
Hey man, great first vid. I help one of the bigger challenge runners out (GamersWeekend, feel free to check his Staminaless ER for proof), and I'd be happy to help if you ever need it! Good luck, skeleton!
im so glad that i keep finding these challenge videos, theyre so interesting to watch and keep reviving my love for the dark souls series and everything related to it
this is your first video?? your a natural. the concept is good, the script is great, && everything feels well paced. i cant wait to see more from you, keep up the good work!
Neat. I've thought about doing something like this in ds3 but never got around to it. Maybe I'll give it a shot soon.
Awesome video man! I only just discovered, thanks for the shout out and glad I inspired you in some way. Keep up the good work 👏 🙌
Im engaging😤😤
I really liked the way you narrated this video. You've got a nice calm voice and tone while explaining things in an entertaining way. This was the perfect video to watch before I get ready for bed. Subscribed
Watching these footage made me realize how badly this game aged. This is the remastered version and it still looks so janky
Nice
This isn’t a Zerolenny video made me laugh Ty man
You're doing good, lad
Great video, excellent quality, hope to see more like this! Also, this idea is so interesting, I might try this myself!
