We don’t pigeonhole you as the guy who plays dark souls. We pigeonhole you as the guy who uses fire bombs.

I love seeing people using weapons that never seem to get used I would love to see this challenge in 2 and 3

[grfrjiglstan]

Ah yes, the challenge run that taught me to appreciate every single one of a weapon's attacks. The biggest pain of this run by far is when the whip bounces off a wall, so you need to learn the one-handed and two-handed variations of R1, R2, jump attack, roll attack, and running attack just to figure out which hitbox will work in your favor.
For those of you wanting to try this run at home without mods, I recommend a modified version called the Belmont run. It's basically the same, but you can use firebombs and throwing knives to simulate Castlevania's sub-weapons. It lets you just firebomb the Asylum Demon, and supplements your weak early-game damage.
All in all, another good video. Cool of you to shout out Deathstroke, and I appreciated the Challenger Andy reference as well.

I’ll never forget the guy who did this run and screamed I FORGOT THE DOLL

[wietze]

To be honest i don't really care if a challenge run has already been done or not, its your own style of making these videos that i enjoy so much

[archmagetyler]

Lemon wasn’t kidding about chat murdering him, I showed up at the community bonfire (where chat tends to watch him) and they were all sharpening blades while I was just kinda standing back scared holding extra kindling I brought for good luck.

Glad to see he didn’t need it but still.

[roundishwhale]

Gotta love how everyone in chat was just perpetually sour about what happened to our favorite boy xD
10:55 - Gotta say I love the buildup and the direct payoff here^^

[Chatyphoon]

Fantastic video! Almost as good as watching chat freak out when you first revealed what SPS was during the live run lol!

[Nomanzo]

I did a whip playthrough myself, years ago. They’re surprisingly good! I had limited myself to throwing knives, firebombs (as a stand-in for holy water) and charcoal pine resin, to get the full Belmont experience.

No magic though. Simon’s too dumb for that kinda thing.

[maviimira]

5:27 "76 damage without a buff, 125 with. That's, quite literally, double damage." Uhhmmm....?

[demian]

That thumbnail alone is a 20/10 already.

[vaderluke]

Just picked up dark souls yesterday because of your channel. So far I'm having more trouble avoiding rolling to my death than fighting bosses. It's good fun!

[nseven]

head canon: nobody dies in this run, they all just got whipped and collapsed because they just got whipped by sexy Solair

[Crestfallen_Fawkes]

SPS really has a divine bloodline. He should be a vampire killer with those whip skills.

[quedzadrake]

Never thought i would hear someone else bring PEGP up again
Cheers to challenger Andy

[johnnyboy]

Editing in a whip for the first boss, and then getting it legitimately after? This is the way.

[curtisbailey]

Lemon mentioning pegp means he's going to do the same challenge as Andy. I'd love to see the suffering he goes through, watching Andy was quite funny

[enlongjones]

Elden Ring with whips should be interesting. It only has a few, but stuff like the Giant Braid and Hoslow Petal Whip are really neat.

[capntizzy]

Sexy party solaire much better than finding his own sun.
