I mean, they were overpowered in Dark Souls 1, surely that trend continued, right?
...guys?

The reaper run continues into Dark Souls 2 as we try to beat all the games bosses, while simultaneously eradicating the world of all NPC life. Place your bets now on whether the bosses or the NPCs were harder.

    I chose either the perfect or the worst time to upload my DS3 scythe only run, depending on how many more dark souls videos people want to watch lol
  • @rolfstalker2986
    "kill all NPCs" runs are so much sadder in DS2, because filling up Majula with weird strays is my favourite thing.
  • @kylegrefe4399
    12:25 because the armor makes you heavier. It's trying to emulate real life logic, where if you fall with something heavy you fall with more force.
  • @bluejay1962
    "Liberty speed your step helldiver" was a damn mental flash-bang XD
  • I don't know how well this would work, but when I saw your hours played in terraria in the "Lets talk about Dark Souls 1" video, I immediately thought: Terraria with firebombs/explosives only?
  • As an individual who is nearly completely blind the phrase youve got eyes always makes me chuckle. Great vid enjoyed it thoroughly :)
  • @Spr0ket
    I Just love how the scythe is around the most NPC's you talk with this run, from the start of the conversation they're in the Lemon Death's grasp
  • @viktord2025
    Killing Lucatiel is unforgivable. Justice for the best girl in Dark Souls 2!
  • @Ideabot_69
    12:02 Lemon no, don't do it you monster. The world needs Li'l Sebastian.
  • @corni_2043
    3:40 BLOOD FOR THE BLOOD GOD , SKULLS FOR THE SKULLTHRONE , MILK FOR THE KHORNEFLAKES wouldn't have guessed lemon is a 40k fan
  • @Catman_CM
    Lemon: Let's spend 2024 working on my actual backlog of games and quit focusing so hard on Dark Souls. Also Lemon:

    I introduced my brother into the Souls series with Bloodborne and now he loves this series as much as I do. He then introduced me to The Backlogs and this is one of my favorite channels. Even the none souls stuff is great. Thanks Lemon. Love your stuff.
  • That helldivers 2 ost at 34:27 caught me off guard!! Really well done, i would have never imagined a ds2 character falling into the chamber of the Ivory king with the HD2 deployment music hahaha
  • @kirbodin
    I was quite surprised Death left Ornifex alive, and thought she might get the scythe of want, but she did not, and left Ornifex alive for no apparent reason.
  • @randomguy3708
    Even if Lemon does eventually stop doing Dark Souls altogether, it's not gonna stop me from watching immediately when he does. (Edited for clarity) Edit 2: I give up. I'm excited when lemon uploads DS, alright?
  • @pillagius
    Well that was fun! Another killer vid, Lemon! About getting naked reduces fall damage: I think, total weight of the character somehow (as in "I dunno the exact equation") adds to fall damage taken. Idea is something like jumping down with 40kg backpack and without it. Also about Ivory King DLC - the weapon durability goes down faster there by default, as far as I remember. Something about "freezing cold makes weapons brittle" or whatever
  • @Buzk_4
    Yeah, I remember that golden serpent ring you got. I also remember that golden serpent ring +1 you got before getting regular one. Love you 🍋
  • @supraaster
    "Au contraire", "C'est la vie", as a French it pleases me to hear Lemon speak our beautiful language. Keep being my favorite non-french Youtuber :D
