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.

At this point you are in a race with the backlogs to see who can finish this game in the weirdest way possible

Kick attacks are probably the most infuriating thing I can think of.

I did not know Nito had a grab attack by the way.

the lightning Falchion doing less damage than the Furysword despite lower defenses is classic DS1

Huge fan of your vids, and I'm very impressed that you're performing these unique and unheard of challenges! Really glad you got recommended to me.

[olympian]

3 challenges in and already have a fan base of several thousand. Amazing job dude.

Your two vids before this one just got me through sleeping in a Walmart parking lot in my car lol crazy to wake up and see you uploaded another. Great content, keep it up!

[therighttrousers]

This one was really snappy and I liked it! I understand there's lots you couldn't find to say, but as far as the actual procession of it, and how you kept things moving, built tension where possible, handed out bits of advice and did funny tricks, you know, all the storytelling things, I quite liked it!

[blairmcmillan]

One of my new favourite Soulsborne challenge runners. Keep up the content man 👌

[rajkanishu]

super interesting run! I would love to see more of these weird attacks-only runs

Dark Souls Run Idea: Can you beat Dark Souls with only the Tin Crystalized Catalyst R2?
If you need to do it in NG+ or cheat it in to the inventory that's ok, ohh and kill all bosses with it

[calvinfranchi]

i feel like i’m early to the party with your channel, which is awesome because all of your challenge runs you’ve posted so far have been a good combination of actually challenging and unique! love the vids!

[picklesickle]

Nice vid man, cool run with a cool idea, can’t wait to see more.

[vardsuzvards]

I love how your quality improves with every video. Keep up the good work!

[DanielJones-mqoe]

Love the videos, glad to see new people do dark souls challenges and unique ones on top of that.

[codymcginnis]

I have seen so many challenge runs, but, man, I have never seen ones this convoluted and restricted. These are awesome. I know this is 3 months old at this point. But I've watched all of your videos two times over, and just felt like I had to share my appreciation of your hard work.

[terubby]

gotta appreciate the more short form challenge vids, great vid as usual :)

[KaoruMzk]

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.

[alexanderhellsing]

This was fun and I really enjoyed it hope you keep making videos like this

[landonelliott]

another amazing videos its so impressive how good your videos are especially since this is only your third video
im looking forward to future videos
