Quinn Angstrom
Some guy managed to beat Dark Souls 1 One Shot Only Soul Level 1
Quinn Angstrom
what this means:
Quinn Angstrom
- Challenge starts at Firelink Shrine
Quinn Angstrom
- You must pick Pyromancer, the only class that starts at soul level 1
Quinn Angstrom
- You cannot level up
Quinn Angstrom
- You are afforded one offensive button press per enemy
Quinn Angstrom
- You MUST kill the enemy with that one attack or the run is invalid
Quinn Angstrom
I'm mainly learning that you can plunge attack a lot more enemies than you think
Quinn Angstrom
Defying the Impossible: Only One Shots NO LEVELING
Quinn Angstrom
you can plunge attack Quelaag
Quinn Angstrom
oh that's some wild tech
Quinn Angstrom
so the main weapon is the Reinforced Club, because it's the strongest weapon that you can use at level 1
Quinn Angstrom
the Gold Tracer has an R2 attack that hits 3 times, but its stats are too demanding for it to good damage
Quinn Angstrom
but what you can do is
Quinn Angstrom
buffer an R2 attack with Gold Tracer with a dodge roll
Quinn Angstrom
then while the dodge roll is happening, go into the menu and swap out your weapon
Quinn Angstrom
and it does the Gold Tracer R2 with a Reinforced Club for a triple damage attack
Quinn Angstrom
does the DLC too for good measure
Quinn Angstrom
does the Four Kings whole healthbar in one attack, not just each king
oh i'm scary
this is why the Red Tearstone Ring/equivalent effect has never been as strong in any subsequent game
Quinn Angstrom
since the challenge starts at firelink, he continues into ng+ just to oneshot asylum demon
Quinn Angstrom
with his bare hands
Quinn Angstrom
apparently the challenge only applies to non-respawning enemies, trash mobs you can do whatever
Quinn Angstrom
but all bosses and minibosses need to go down in one

I interpreted "One Shot Only" as "you can't die or you have to start over" and somehow what it actually is is even more insane
