Can You Beat DEMON'S SOULS With Only Firebombs?
Ойындар
One more world to explore. One more world to burn.
For when nothing but ashes remain,
where will all the heretics turn?
Demon's Souls is the predecessor of every Dark Souls game we currently enjoy, and you can kinda tell. The jank and gimmicky bosses are off the charts with this one. But be that as it may, can we beat Demon's Souls with only firebombs? I guess only time will tell.
Big thanks to Atoll for helping me get a good thumbnail. PS5's and Demon's Souls are still hard to come by in my neck of the woods, so they were kind enough to grab us a screenshot!

Bombs instead of fire would be more specific, but in general with most games, if it has a firebomb that deals fire damage, then pretty much all required enemies/bosses need to be able to die from fire damage.

Gotta say, Lemon, I like the larger meta-story you're telling with these firebomb runs. Following the will of the Goddess along the path is a pretty fun way to string all these challenges together. Can't wait to see the Lands Between burn in flames (you gotta do the frenzied flame ending!).

@@tycol322 But you can’t craft mid combat though. While yes you can prepare before hand by crafting and buying firebombs, if you can’t kill the boss with the maximum amount of firebombs at hand, the run will be in some trouble. At least you only need to collect two greatrunes to enter the capital, but it might get tricky to kill bosses that late. And even the trick where you leave behind firebombs at the fog gate won’t last forever, as the final boss doesn’t have a conventional fog gate.

Wait was what i just saw the best teaser video ever? Boy I cant wait for the Eldenring run.
Elden ring is going to be interesting with its firebomb equivalent for pretty much every type of damage but also the fact that you're not really limited by your souls but by pots
WHAT A VIDEO. What an exciting ending. Love how you make your content!
Just started watching and can't wait for flamelurker battle.
Love the ending 😍
Nothing better to start the day on my morning commute by watching another brilliant video by backlogs! Only found your channel a few months ago but I adore your content (even as a souls noob myself). Much love from the UK!
Great vid as always, Lemon! Keep up the great work and great vibes too, always fun to listen to ya.
The backlogs be like “ohh shit here we go again”
Quality content as always! And that music sting at the end; glorious.
I love the narrative that sprung up from these videos. And Yaaay Elden Ring!
Really refreshing to see someone attempt a challenge run and actually still make a video for it even if it fails and is impossible. Most people seem to only attempt a “can you beat X with X” run if they already k ow it’s possible and an awesome ending transition!
I adore the cinematic and highly dramatic way you explain you can't do it and you're moving on to another game. So well done.
That hall and oates joke caught me off guard 😆
I love this channel, I have watched all of your videos and am really excited for future uploads
I was shocked that this wasn't the remake. I like it, seeing godlike graphics every day gets exhausting.
from submerged lemon to flaming lemon, what a character arc
16:54 the stun... the lasting hitbox terrifying
I don't know if it's just me but I love the narrative twist you put on these firebomb runs. The ending monologue of this video literally brings me to tears of hype, I love rewatching this video so much
Sad to see you finally got beaten by a souls game, but excited for Elden Ring! Keep up the amazing videos
Amazing video great story telling and very informative about demon souls I think I might go try complete the game again
Can't wait until it starts
Hall and oates. That’s a great reference. I’ve spent the last months literally watching one video of yours before I go to bed. Thank you for the effort and entertainment in combination with these great little references. Much love
Loving these challenge videos, it's very similar to ymfah but your commentating is more personal and allows me to multitask while I listen to it in the background, keep up the great work!
Love your vids!
Ohhhhhh yes. I've been waiting for this one. Nice surprise to see it on PS3 again too. GLHF 🍿
Just came across your channel recently gotta say super entertaining dropped a sub keep up the dope work man!
The moment i saw the pot system in elden ring i immediatly thought "i cant wait to see a 'firebomb' only run of this", and now it seems the time is soon to come
Impressive. The effort this took, was huge. Respect from the bottom of my heart.
Such an absolute badass transition at the end
Big fan, keep up the good fight. Can't wait for the new merch. I'd love it if you had hoodie options

I absolutely love that you’re doing demon souls runs! I don’t even wanna watch anybody play Elden ring right now. More demon souls!
Spoilers for da video Yeah, I figured that Flamelurker or Storm King would be the run killers. To be totally honest, I couldn't remember if the Armored Spider was immune to fire too and thought that even that might have been where the run died. Was Not expecting Astraea and Old Monk to be run killers too. Also, I am 100% calling it now that you're gonna do the Lord of Frenzied Flame ending for Elden Ring. After everything you've been through for the Goddess, it only seems fitting to burn it all down, doesn't it, O Lord of Combustible Lemons? Edit: Also I know the point of these runs is to do it glitchless. However if you used the wrong warp glitch (present in the Remake although not sure if it exists in the OG version), it would still be neat to see you try Penetrator and False King Allant. Penetrator could be doable if you rescue Biorr and let him do most of the heavy lifting. Although False King Allant would definitely be hard since he zips around, and you might run into the problem with Old Monk in terms of him having too much HP.

That elden ring joke aged like milk
you have quickly become one of my favorite people to watch. got me interested in souls-likes again. thanks man
I've gotta say, that ending filled me with way more HYPE to play Elden ring myself than any of the trailers or other youtubers/streamers. Can't wait to see you bring the Godess's light and flames to the unclean and unworthy. May her scorching embers bring serenity and oblivion to those who would oppose her chosen, her paladin of flame. Her one and only, Lemon.
Of all the things to continuously appear in like, every FromSoft game, I never expected firebombs to be one of them.
21:07 Ah yes "Magic Mist-les" XD Never change Lemon
Loved the Nelly Furtado Man-eater reference!
I don’t understand why I just love challenge runs in the souls series. Thank you for this wonderful entertainment!
Sooo...has Lemon been an acolite of th frenzied flame this whole time? Also love the lore your putting into these chalenge runs. Keep up the good work and may the light of the goddess burn brigh twithin you.
5:08 always cracks me up without fail. "Have some pie....cinnamon?"
Your roomate legit makes some fantastical voices 👍 And those demon souls videos are great
“Take your time, I’m not going anywhere” proceeds to go literally everywhere in boletaria
Finally, a video on my favorite game.
22:33 - "Half of Nelly Furtado's attacks simply disappear from the fight" Nice reference there. It was interesting to see how this game looked on PS3. I got my PS5 recently and and the remake looks and plays amazing but it always good to see the original.
I have nearly finished 40k minis, a spare hour or two for painting, and a new backlogs video. Today is a good day.
"That bell is probibly giving you flashbacks..." My man Lemon, I still get ptsd from "Please... HELP ME! *UAAAAAAAAAARRRGGH!!!*"
That was some really great storytelling. Instead of focusing on the failure of the run you turned it into a long form teaser for the next game. Very cool.
I really like the backlogs. Bravo lemon.
what a nice thing to end the day with. thank you lemon
That We're at at the end of the ep with the elden fing music was awesome

Doin my part for the algorithm. Love your stuff, hope you are doing well enjoying yourself
Ah, Demon Souls. My first game of these series. And favorite one too. Played it almost twelve years ago and still remember most of the bosses.
Lemon, you absolute madman, you did it again!
What I love is that you will make an unironic Hall & Oates joke.
Love seeing your runs lemon, I’m currently doing my own bombs only run on elden ring, and I’m stuck on fire giant, I even have them KZread streamed so I have proof
Huzzah! Our Patron Saint of Yeet and Delete has returned with another Souls run!
The way dregling got shot made me audibly gasp. I treasure that character like Patches.
I love when you played the Goron city music :)
Gotta say love seeing the original instead of the remake brings back the nostalgia of picking this up used and becoming my favorite game and what made me get darksouls1 when it first came out
I immediately though, "Oh there's no way he can beat Flamelurker and Storm King." And hey, that fire resistance on Old Monk is no joke apparently.
Literally got chills with that outro god damn was that great
I hope the Elden Ring one allows pots of any effect as well as things like explosive stones, I’d like to see what kinds of things you could do with different status effects
Yoooooo I'm so stoked for the elden ring firebomb run xD
Ah, I love this game so much, I need too get back into it
Man watching this really makes me realize how much demon souls was just a beta for dark souls so much was refined and redesigned but familiar
the truest test of the firebombs to be unable to use only them but only for a time brother
Thanks for sharing your voice, it is a pleasure to listen to you.
Lemon, you lunatic, I love these runs. You convinced a buddy and I to abandon our sanity on a crossbow-only DS1 run- we just took down O&S last night, despite only using +5 light crossbows.
