Can you beat Dark Souls Remastered with only Miracles? | (Dark Souls Remastered CHALLENGE)

define irony the death of a cleric in the church greetings and salutations gamers my name is Kyle also known as gamers weekend and welcome to the next Dark Souls challenge last time we beat every boss with sorcery which turned out to be pretty easy especially with dark beat today we are tackling the same challenge except this time it's miracles only the challenge is going to be a lot more complicated for a few reasons but we'll get into that later for now let's go over the rules first off my damage must come from miracles no melee weapons damaging items or other forms of magic allowed this time the challenge officially begins when I arrived in Firelink shrine and ends upon beating the game however I'm still going to at least attempt to beat every single boss and of course no glitches allowed for this run with all that out of the way this is the Dark Souls miracle only challenge we name our character Mira short for miracles and quickly get through the asylum so we can begin our challenge and right away we've hit a wall unlike the sorcery challenge we don't start with a damaging spell instead we get a heal spell which can be nice but ultimately means we have zero damage for now we need to get a way to deal damage soon if we want to make any progress I've got an idea on how we can get through this though I head down into the catacombs to join the gravelord covenant one of its covenant rewards is the gravelord sword dance an area of effect miracle that has no faith requirement now that we have gravelord sword dance we can technically do damage but this thing really isn't getting us anywhere it's extremely inconsistent to hit things with blacks meaningful damage and only can be casted twice before running out we need a bit more consistency to get through the game right now that in mind I decide the best course of action is to start heading to the undead parish down through New Londo and Valuev drakes make a stop to grab the grass crest shield and rest up by Andre we also make sure to talk to siegmeyer in front of the bounce house to set up his quest this will be important later and make sure to grab the fire keepers soul in the church and head through the gate we get underneath the bridge set up the bird bladder and rest up at the sunlight altar we unlike access to the lower bird going or Kevin the dragon and now I'm officially set up I may not be able to do any damage but I can still farm for souls here by baiting the dragon into an attack on the bridge he kills all the hollow soldiers giving us 555 souls we reset at the bonfire rinse and repeat it takes about 10 minutes of using the soul farming method but eventually we get enough Souls to reach 25 faiths now we can join the sunlight warriors covenant which gives us lightning spear a long-range lightning miracle that does pretty hefty damage at this point the game now we are much better prepared so it's bossing time tours demon is a joke with lightning Spears he barely lives after three lightning Spears and the fourth one brings him down after that we head into the church too after that we head into the church and onto the roof to take out the gargoyles first one goes down after three Spears and the second one goes down after two these early game bosses are all weak to lightning so this early game should go by pretty fast that's bail number one down next up might be a bit more difficult though because we are up against the Capra demon just like any other magic challenge the dogs cause a ton of issues they land a hit and our very slow casting lightning Spears are interrupted I decided to go grab the ring of favor and protection from lure trick to add just a little more safety to the fight I won't be able to wear it for the entire run but it'll serve me well for now [Music] back to Capra I managed to snipe the first dog just fine but the second one is a bit problematic I decided to trade a hit with the Capra demon in exchange for killing as much after that it's just a few lightning screws later and he's crossed off the list the main reason I'm here to take out Capra demon is to progress the thorolund party quest feeding Capra demon triggers them to move into the tomb of the Giants so that's where we will be heading next pinwheel happens and we venture into the two patches gives us a good kick to the rear and we are officially where we need to be we take out the first three limb cleric with lightning Spears and reenact 300 on the second one with that Raya is now freed and she heads to the parish church we need to make sure we take out Petrus though so he won't kill Raya and we can buy right through the God's burger now we are really armed and ready rather the gods or for short is a powerful area of effect spell that knocks back and does damage but can only be cast in three times side note I love the difference in naming miracles compared to other magics Solero is pretty straightforward in comparison to tranquil walk of peace or karmic justice iron man sirs have literally fireball while clerics have off the coins that sound like a metal band to anyone else right now our damage is really carrying us but I'm a bit nervous for later in the game I decided to quickly run into value of the drakes again for red tears stone ring I have a feeling we'll need it later and it'll be helpful in the next couple of bosses next up is a quick detour to take out cape and dragon but as always you need to take out the Chandler before we well that was easier than last time no no no I go ahead and set up RTS for gaping dragon avoiding damage is very easy on this boss and empowered by our ring we do more than enough damage three logs and four spheres and the dragon is officially slain next up is to head down to Blighttown the poison swamp makes it very easy to set up red tear stone ring the fight goes pretty easy but I'm starting to notice our damage output is dropping this could get pretty bad soon if our damage doesn't see any noticeable upgrades meanwhile though that's another bell of awakening rung while we're down here we quickly pick off ceaseless discharge for the extra souls as well afterwards we take out the heretic of the melee aways Andre and head into dark grew moonlight butterfly eats five lightning Spears before going down and then we head for the danger dog Oh SIF isn't too bad although he does have the ability to rush us then while we are casting our miracles and dodge them as well however our in Jesus gifted us good rng on this day and we get through this fight just fine the bounce house is business as usual but we need to make a quick pit stop to talk to siegmeyer again I want to make sure his quest is progressing just fine afterwards his usual climb to the top to take up the iron golem using the archer just outside is an easy RTS set up a combination of vlog and lightning Spears and the iron golem plummets to his demise afterwards I take a moment to grab the rail ring of sacrifice for later and head into an or Londo at this point we've crested 40 faiths so hopefully that prepares our damage for this next section lightning spears turn the rafters into a casual breeze so we can use the rotating Londo platform to head into the dark moon tune this is where we can grab the ring of the sun's firstborn a ring that boost power of miracles now we don't need a rely on tier stone all the time yet either way we easily walk past the archers and head into the keep we've got a few orders of business here first off is a chest of three sunlight medals we'll need those for later next is to head to the roof and down into a bedroom to complete the next step of onion Bros quest this is the last step we really need to complete but to collect our reward we need to find him in filing so that have to wait for now now it's time for some often Ornstein and now we get to see how rough this challenge can be some off and Ornstein as many of you know are weak to fire and lightning respectively however you may not have known that when one of the bosses enters their second form they get huge resistance bonuses the anor londo bros are also very good at punishing your mistakes hence bring us to the two issues with miracles only we have ten Spears and three walks that's not a lot of spells to cast and if we run out then our attempt at whatever boss we are fighting is gone the other issue is miracles take a very long time to cast so getting rushed down is bound to happen so to compensate for our lack of damage we need to use red tears stone but to be under our ts effects we need to be within one shot range whilst using miracles that make us vulnerable this isn't gonna be fun on a temper 9 we finally get a good run where we manage to land three tier stone woggs on orange team sending the boss into Phase two some off is going to be resistant to our lightning Spears but with art to guests we are eventually able to kite him down and overpower him for the KO ornstein and smough are almost always problems but things are not looking great for our run we collect the Lord vessel kill lady mcpoot and move on next up is Gwendolyn and this is going to be a lot easier chasing him down is as easy as usual and he has a small health bar three logs and two lightning spears give us another boss kill afterwards we quickly head back to filings trying to find siegmeyer who has given us the amit force miracle it's a ranged miracle that detonates into an area of effect explosion it's not quite as strong as wrath of gods but it still does decent damage and more importantly it's more available spell casts after that the Lord vessel gets placed and it's time for the late game [Music] I'm going to be real here I'm really not sure about my damage output right now amid force is a good upgrade but I really need some more substance I bagged track to sense bounce house to grab the covetous gold serpents ring it's time for a little bit of farming I head to the depths in order to grab some humanity off the rats I need 30 in order to open the door to the lost izalith so i can farm some enemies in the area after a few minutes I've collected where I need and take them down to the chaos servant covenant before I gift all my humanities I quickly decide to take out fire sage demon for some extra sprites to have on hand fire sage decides to be incredibly annoying today for some reason and keeps jumping everywhere the fight takes longer than it should have but he goes down nonetheless time to head back to the chaos servants covenant I turn in my 30 human dank jeuss to rank up in the covenant so I can open the izalith shortcut I then made the stupid decision for some reason to kill the fire keeper for her soul I head down to the door and realize that I've made a critical error you see if you kill a covenant member it counts as an act of betrayal which I completely forgot about for some reason betrayal penalties make you rank down in the covenant ranking so I essentially just spent 30 humanities on nothing this is easily the second biggest mistake I made this run let's see how many of you can guess my biggest one well note that the door doesn't open it looks like I'm going to have to do this from the other side which means centipede demon is next the fight isn't too bad though you can lure him to the right side where he'll be in close range a couple logs in a bit force later and he goes down now that we have access to the lost izalith that we can officially open the shortcut back to the demon runes that we can finally start farming for sunlight metals the small bugs here has somewhat small chains to drop them but with active humanity and gold serpents ring they drop fairly commonly after about 15 minutes of farming we eventually get up to ten sunlight medals we can take those back to the altar sunlight in order to get great lightning spear which is quite literally lightning spear but better adds another 10 spell cast to our arsenal which makes me much more confident about our boss killing capabilities time to finish up the izalith section and take out the bed of chaos we head to the orb on the left first and reset the boss fight we do the right orb second because it's the safer because it's the safer because it is the safer bright orb down through the middle boss is dead one Lord soul down and I can finally leave this stupid nightmare of an area know that the literal bane of my existence is out of the way we can crew uber our way back to the asylum stray demon is beefy but I'm holy and ready to hand out smites like business cards another buzz down and while we're here we grab the peculiar doll we head back to the catacombs and into the tomb of the rave Lords he made sure to pick up the silver serpents ring on the way in case we need to do some soul farming later time for need oh I've noticed in the past a lot of people don't know how to deal with Neos range attack so here's a quick tip you want to dodge the attack as he's thrusting the sword into the ground as if you were dodging the blade that's the best way to avoid the attack anyways once he's close range we have more than enough damage without RTS to finish him off cross Lord soul number 2 off our list time to head into the painted world for Priscilla while she's invisible it's easy to hit her with wrath of gods but not quite enough to kill her it takes some skill with freehand lightning Spears but eventually we land our marks and take her out for heading to the duke's archives we take out the hide rend the basin which is extremely easy with miracles we also free the duck of quack Casteel in order to set up the dlc once we are in the archives we make sure to grab the broken pendant off the Golem and head to see for our quote-unquote mandatory death you may have been immune to sorcery snake but you sure as Halle and vulnerable to our wrath of the gods on our way out of the prison we make sure to grab the maidens robes these will come in handy pretty soon we get through the archives and through the caves no issue into the sea phosphite the real reason we wanted these maiden robes is despite their poor resistances they actually have fairly good curse resistance this gives us a lot of safety for this fight add that with the fact that see if is naturally weak to lightning and this fight actually goes pretty smoothly Lord soul number 3 is ours we are officially down to five more bosses and I know I'm probably going to need to take off the ring of favor and protection to fight the four kings so I want to see if I can extend its lifespan a little longer that in mind its DLC time the DLC is a miracles only play through worst nightmare all of the bosses have lots of resistances move really fast and are amazing at punishing mistakes this is not going to be easy first up is sanctuary Guardian I was actually pretty afraid of this bosses ability to rush you down but our miracles range was a huge factor here we ended up spending most of this fight exchanging lightning spells and slowly but surely we took the victory on our first try I'm not getting my hopes up though because first try is not going to happen again I can already see it we make it through the garden of Hell and encounter what I consider the first of the three Titans of this run our Tori's this is where the difficulty is really going to ramp up our Tori ace is fast Tim Dodger spells has easy to land combos and worst of all has the ability to buff himself making some of his moves clean one-shots irregular runs you're supposed to Russian down while he's channeling the buff and stagger him out of it however our spells don't pack nearly enough of a punch in order to stop him if he decides the buff there's nothing I can do about it but clench my butt cheeks and hope for the best after seven attempts at this boss I've decided that the fat ring just isn't carrying its way anymore that in mind I've decided to come back for our Toria Slater and take out the four kings wow I just kind of realized I or any of that leaving the abyss walker' for the abyss huh anyways as many of you know the four kings is simply a DPS test and with our miracle power combined with the ring of the sun's firstborn we definitely passed that's the final Lords soul down now it's just time to clean up the DLC bosses this is going to be rough two more attempts later and I finally got my rhythm down I think I'm finally starting to notice a theme with these DLC bosses on this run patience is everything you have to wait for the right attacks where these bosses are going to rip you asunder only two more bosses to go we make our way through the township picking up the silver pendant and kreski along the way and make it into the chasm of the abyss the next bus for me to try is manis and all I can say is welcome to hell this boss is already a pain with regular combat and punishing his attacks is already tight timing as it is now think about trying to punish a fast-moving rapid attacking boss with ridiculous range with slow casting miracles it's about as much fun as it sounds to make matters worse I come to an awful realization after a few attempts I don't have enough damage to finish this boss with regular spell casts just a ring of Suns first born as a buff I don't have the power to quite finish off this boss which means now I have to do an already difficult boss in RTS range which means I have to fight him with about that much health this is going to be absurd roll a fraction of a second to lay or too early and it's death get caught in a combo and it's death react to is a magic attacks too slowly or in the wrong way and it's death if I'm going to get through this fight it has to be perfect I was already pretty tired by the time I got to Manas and after 11 temps at the boss fight I realized this isn't happening right now and just decided to go to bed getting it some time to think about I decided it would be a good idea to grind with miracles we have access to the best soul farming method in the game undead failings the idea is in painted world you run up to these failings cast an area of effect magic to quickly kill them all and then reset them at the bonfire it's about a hundred thousand souls every five minutes using this method with our souls we put some more levels into faith to increase our power by a small amount I decided it would be a good idea to see if kalameet would be any easier and it's not going to be that much better Callum eats resistances are off the charts so there's no chance we are beating it with just regular spell cast either so for both of these bosses we have two options does crown ring to increase our spell cast in exchange for half of our health or red tear stone ring to increase our damage in exchange for having to play perfect I think our best bet on calamy is to use dusk ring because even at half HP we can still survive some of his attacks madness on the other hand will probably kill us anyways 1/2 HP so I might as well shorten the fight with red tears don't damage [Music] initially I try to take on calamita plus but I realize after some time that this boss has a really easy time interrupting our spell cast I change up my strategy to take him on from afar and it works out much better on the template 4:14 this fight gets a bit weird this initial attack comes in at a favorable weird angle thanks to a midair slide and then I somehow barely managed to survive a barrage of attacks how I survived most of these I have no clue eventually the fight stabilizes though and I get back into my groove the fight goes on for several minutes but eventually I grind away his health bar and take him out all that means is I have one more boss left before I can finish the game but unfortunately that PLAs boss is making more attempts at Maness remember when I said that this DLC requires patience well I'm pretty sure that maintenance requires ungodly amounts of patience my plan to get through this fights to start off with red tears down to chunk out most of his health and then heal up to finish off the fight with regular power spells this is way easier said than done though finally on attempt number 39 an hour and a half worth of attempts I eventually get his health bar to a decent enough spot with RTS and heal up by this point I am more than aware of what attacks I can and can't respond to finally after almost 40 attempts on the bus I take him out I want you to know how happy I was to finally beat this boss I think I stress drank 4 to 2 liter bottles of Dr Pepper and 3 venti Starbucks drinks I drank so much trying to beat this boss and I was so freakin happy to just finally beat him just one more bus to go win I expected him to be stupidly easy but I'll admit it I underestimated this fight win is really good at interrupting spell cast so this fight is a bit more dicey than anticipated fighting him directly isn't going to happen right now so I need to find a new strategy I decide to see if there's another way I can boost my damage and oh god I feel stupid so for those of you who watch my last run may remember that I picked up the dust crown which I said boosted our magic damage and I wasn't wrong but what I forgot about the item is it's a magic adjustment booster not a magic damage booster for those of you who don't know anytime you cast a spell in this game it gets casted with a catalyst which determines the damage the stat that determines the damage of said spell is called mag adjust or magic adjustment higher magic adjustment means higher damage and for some reason I forgot that dust crown is an increase to magic adjustment not magic damage so I could have been using this thing the entire time literally since probably Capra demon I could have been using this buff that is the huge mistake I mentioned earlier and I feel both stupid for making it get accomplished that I got this far without it either way I grab the dust crown get some Elizabeth mushrooms from oolacile and Don my best tank armor I've got a pretty good idea on how to deal with quit Elizabeth mushrooms give ungodly health regen and combined with our armor resistance win can swing that's flaming sword all he wants he's not killing us with the added poise from the stone armor he can't interrupt our spell cast either so we absolutely power through this fight in the most sad way possible and with that victory we have officially be in every boss in Dark Souls using only bare face [Music] okay I'll be the first to admit it I underestimated this challenge after sorcery only went so well I thought this was going to be a lot easier than it actually was don't get me wrong it wasn't ungodly difficult by any stretch of the imagination but surprisingly it was challenging I do feel somewhat proud for getting through as much as I did without dust crown but I do still feel a bit dumb for not grabbing it earlier anyways next time we are taking a break from magic grunts to do a viewer suggested run next time we'll be can you beat dark souls with homely shields big thanks to arcane Manticore for the suggestion and speaking of which if you have a suggestion for anything you'd like to see let me know it could be difficult wacky or something that requires lots of strategy any kind of ideas you guys have got leave it in the comments section below and I'll be sure to look it over either way though if you enjoyed this video please give it a thumbs up pop that subscribe button entering it tangling that little bell to be notified whenever I drop the next video and as always thank you guys so much for watching and I'll catch you gamers on the flipside [Music] [Music] you
