...what do you mean that's not a thing?
Well, what about quickscoping, can I do that yet?
Lemon continues his trek across the Dark Souls series. I'm not sure how, but things are both better and worse at the same time.
Can you beat Dark Souls 2 with only crossbows? Guess we'll see.

You could’ve used the ballista in the Pursuer fight, ballistas are after all, really big crossbows
-
Fun fact: the Burnt Ivory King is left-handed, making all of his attack patterns different from what you are used to fighting, and just that little bit more difficult. Because obviously this boss needed that.
-
“Over confidence is a slow and insidious killer.” I like the darkest dungeon reference
-
27:53 I’m so glad this amazing concept made it into elden ring in the consecrated snowfield.
-
...Lemon this was the only run in wich you could've cheesed the first Pursuer with ballistas and be rightfully smug about it, because rules are not broken.
-
Crossbows can destroy the pots in Covetous’ room. I think he was still using wooden bolts, which are designed to not break many objects in the game. Like the statues in Undead Crypt.
-
I love how every time he says "im feeling confident, this bossfight should be easy" and gets hit with the first attack
-
I have like 2000 hours on dark souls 2, never knew you could power stance crossbows. You learn something new everyday
-
Not having all the stamina you normally need for an attack leading to it dealing less damage is logical on every weapon type except for crossbows, you cant load it "less" because then the bolt would just instantly shoot out instead of staying in place. But its a mechanic in a video game that lets moldy beef jerky wield a massive sword so its fine.
-
Luke is the real MVP of this run. I think it would've been hard to beat the DLCs without his tips.
-
I love watching your challenge runs. I dont always have time to watch streams but this short form commentary of the runs scratches the itch of wanting to watch stuff
-
Glad to see this was one of the challenge runs you were doing! The crossbow was a great friend for me on my playthrough, even though I was doing a faith/str build. Just having an 'unlimited' ranged option for pulling mobs or doing damage once I ran out of spells was very nice.
-
Whoever clutched with that shield crossbow suggestion, give them a medal!
-
I think the funniest thing about the King of the Giants fight in the memory, is that there's an even easier way to do it than standing up on that ledge. There's a section further back on the walkway where he will only send the shockwaves at you, but due to a broken section of the wall, the shockwave stops before coming close, so with a bow or crossbow, you can just go to town and he legitimately can't do anything about it.
-
I really like your content Lemon, the fun narrative you weave through your runs and occasional really well timed humor (Looking at you Jerry!) really make for a great video. Keep up the good work!
-
Amazing videos as always. I'd also like to thank you for putting the songs used in the description. I've discovered plenty of new music from here. Thanks!
-
I think it's called a crossbow, because constantly reloading a weak bow like that will make you cross
-
The shield crossbow isn't what got him through the fight, it was CAPITALISM
-
I love these challenge runs. Honestly I'm amazed how well you're doing at them, being a citrus fruit and all.
-
Props on another completed run! I thought the sanctum crossbow(s) would come up after Elana went down so even more props for not needing them
