Last year I attempted to beat Dark Souls 2 without taking a single point of damage and failed miserably. It was about time I tried again. This video is a compilation of my new efforts to succeed in this challenge.
The rules for the run are very simple: you must beat the game (any%) without being hit or without damage from any source at all. The main strategy of the game was to take many risks early to secure catalysts and spells that'd make the later parts of the run easier. Instead of defeating the four Great Ones, Freja was beaten four times to obtain the 1 million souls necessary to open the Shrine of Winter and skip many other bosses. Summons and savequitting to avoid NPCs was allowed. Fall damage was avoided by constantly wearing the cat ring.
Not Hit Runs have been achieved by multiple players already on all the Souls games, but after some research I believe this is the world's first ever no damage run on Dark Souls 2 and perhaps the third one overall, with Squilla holding the DS3 and a japanese player named Otsunari having done DS1. As for no damage as well as no hit, as far as I know this run should be the second after Squilla's.

Otzdarva I still got ads on this... Well Im glad coz this my favorite DS video of all time
Otzdarva sad to hear man 😢, hope KZhead gets their shit together soon...
KZhead and their bullshit strikes again
Otzdarva aye you finished this on my 13th birthday
I've always believed in you. Except for the fact that I didn't know you existed until 15 minutes ago, but my point remains.
Thanks homie

Are you fucking insane?! I love it!!
And you're blindfolded
When Otz managed to beat the game without taking damage I genuinely felt happy holy shit
Really though. Good job Otz, I have no idea how you managed to deal with the emotional trauma and eventually triumph. I still can't go anywhere without wanting to bring Lucatiael to tank for me
Thanks man, I had very supportive people cheering on me all along!
Jadge Wedge same
anyone here in 2019, appreciating the tension and effort he put into this... and then realising he already did the all bosses no hit? :D
w-what?
Mojo jojo The full run is on his alternate channel, the main channel gets nothing until he has finished editing his Magnum Opus.
@@elgringosupremo He finished btw. should be uploaded soon :D
I like how at the beginning when the music starts his voice goes with the music
My favorite part was the part where Otz took damage.
my favorite part was where something that never happened before for otz ended up happening
Waleed fuck you
Especially when he was like 2h into the run
Kissable Kyle Poor Otz
Kissable Kyle exactly
The absolute madman... But the madman had common fruit on his side. You could never compete with a power such as that. The staff he wielded had failed him before, his rapier too. But never his common fruit. Always one on his belt, to free himself from the memories and struggles this hell had provided him with. Otz had fallen many times before, too many even to count, yet he still managed to climb to the top in the end. You thought he would lose everything. That he couldn't make it. But he didn't make it alone. His followers, acolytes, supporters and friends, always at his side to mourn with him when the Mirror Knight's or Throne Defender's blade had pierced his flesh, forcing him back to the beginning as a new man, a new warrior; a new chance. Each failure had made him stronger, into a greater man, each great soul had fallen after countless tries; some even fell to him on his first. Upon reaching the queen of Drangleic, Nashandra, he had successfully passed all trials before him. She was the only enemy remaining. Her scythe gleamed black, practically unseen by Otz before this moment. An easy fight was all that remained. His great advantage at range had kept him alive. On her deathbed, where only one blow had to be dealt, Otz looked to his belt to see a single common fruit. In triumph, fully boasting his victory through this act, he consumed it. It's power, unnecessary for what had to be done. He let his last spell fly, killing Nashandra and ending his suffering. His torture was over. His followers had cheered him on from the beginning, from his first attempts, and now they bellowed louder than ever. They praised him and the fruit that was his idol, his source of power. They showered him in appreciation and the fruit he and his most faithful loved.
And then at the Throne of Want, Maughlin resurrects and backstabs Otz with a fire infused chicken wing +5
what a legend

From a time when Dark Souls 2 was still Otz’s favorite game. Then he attempted a all bosses/no hit run (+DLC). Concluding the commentary over the run he ended with, the question of what tips he had came up. Answer: “be a streamer with enough viewers so you can take off a couple of months to take it on, and still be able to afford to live”. Unspoken was “be willing to go dead inside “. Two R2’s from winning, Dark Souls 2 didn’t just beat Otz, but broke him. It is an epic story, and he has my respect for an incredible accomplishment to make it 99.999% of the way. And my condolences for having it fall just short of his grasp.
Uhuh i see you are from the past section of our time, before otz was the uncontested and un-dethronable god of dark souls 2 by achieving this run.
But he re did it and won!
Gay
No Damage on DS2? I've been hit so many times because of wonky hit-detection alone, this is just masochistic.
One of my biggest problems playing it, that and I can't use my Controller properly
The worst p as rt about the hit detection is the mechanic that if you dont have enough of a certain stat (agility if i remember correctly) you will "dodge" the attack and not be stunned but still take partial damage, which pisses me off so damn much.
@@chadyoung9934 that and the enemy's dealing damage before their Animation is complete
@@dodojesus4529 and the insane tracking or infinite stamina of some enemies
@@chadyoung9934 Wait what?
Is it possible Otz clear a single game WITHOUT his signature word *'WHAT'*
b0x0d Throw him a freaking bone here, that's asking the impossible
b0x0d I think you mean, "W A T!?"
It's actually spelled W A T!!!!!!!
NANI?!?!?
No *"WAT"* run
There may not have been any physical damage dealt, but otzdarva's spirit will have permanent scars from this moment onward
Actually, I believe there was actual physical damage, if his Twitter is to be believed.
yeah his controller, that is
I hope he keeps it as a trophy, a reminder on why he's no casul.

Always come back to this video every now and then. Love you otz!
GG to you Otzdarva, there was a LOT of time and dedication put into this run, awesome job for enduring the pain and making it through!
I'll die soon, Then, lose my sanity.
The Lojiker more like "I'll get hit,then lose my sanity,then go kill some people then myself
The dream is real.
10:31 WHY DO THIS TO ME AHHHHH I GOT SCARED
Top Waifu ikr my heart skipped a beat when i heard that sound effect
Otz was chu-good for DS2, and triumphed
Top Waifu Didn't Hob do a complete no hit run on dks2 like a year ago?
Top Waifu o
i've seen you are one of a few doing such insane run, really a FUCKING great GG for you, it's purelly insane you did it, was worth all the pain and all the try.
I added this video to my "the very best of dark souls playlist". Great job man!
The common fruit at the end was so risky I was dying
shadowsgun2001 Bro everyone knows common fruit gives infinite s and godlike powers
Same like I don't even watch this guy and I was like burrowing my nails into my chest going like STOP JUST GET THE KILL NOW. xD
so now we refer time as before/post no damage run congrats madman

So many Evangelion references, and in a Dark Souls video as well! This is really great! And you finishing the entire game without damage is wildly impressive as well.

So what is next for our most beloved unbreakable masochist?
Maarten Burger After this, he can do anything
ds1 would be sh** in comparaison coz this, you need to be careful, in 1 you just have your frames so yeah he can pretty much do whatever he wants now
i forgot did he try bloodborne no dmg coz it's pretty much hardcore if you go with barehanded challenge and it would be one of the first to do it or maybe the first one?
Maarten Burger No damage no equipment or items while also blindfolded.
Sl1 no damage, no bonfires ng+7 champions covenant with a broken ladle, playing with a guitar hero controller with controlls inverted, while blindfolded
You can hear him go from anger to determination to sadness back to determination again.
every year i come back to this masterpiece
i think this guy is the most entertaining dark souls channel. 2nd video recommended and subbed.
Nice work, skeleton!
This run was bone chilling
Where's sans with his skeleton puns when you need him!
Yeah, congrats, Otz. You put a ton of work into this. A skele-ton. ;)
These jokes are quite humerus
This really tickles my funny bone
It's one thing to watch this video and see the accomplishment, it's another thing to watch and experience it live, and for every attempt too. Not ONCE did I ever doubt you. We all believed in you, and through sheer determination, you did it. You proved once and for all, that you ARE the best. Congrats to you my friend, and may you rest for now.
Just Alio did you say that in your kermit voice or your regular one? Lol you should make more videos dude, that kermit frog song was gold
except for that one guy who was like doing what otz could never achieve we all believed in you also fuck that guy
The Dark Soul full you with determination...
Very nice of you kormit
Sincerely, I felt so bad for him just seeing this video, watching the full run would have gave heart attacks of sadness :( Conniptions x9000 Otz is a true king, paid his crown in sweat and tears and SAN. All my respect to him and those who tayed along to support him through the whole ordeal. You guys are the best!
This is beautiful, thanks for existing I discovered this channel 1 year ago, when I first started playing DS. You and other similar KZheadrs changed my life, dude. Thanks. And thanks again, if it wasn't for you I would have never started watching JoJo

I'm glad he's whole, would have sucked if he lost an arm or somethinqg
This is literally painful to watch, it's like self harm

Otz you beautiful fucking legend, u will be remembered forever as one of the best dark souls players of all time, not for skill but for being able to continue when others could not
T-thankk you
So true!!!!
Otzdarva Hey otz after this I recommend you get a therapist
HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAH
When I'm felling low, and began to coward. I call upon this video to increse my power! THANKS OTZ for giving me the inspiration I need to beat the Souls and some challenges in my life. Thank you, you'll never undestand how much inspiring this run is for all of us in the other side of the screen
Otz inspired me to complete my no death run and I did it yayy!
I watched this with so much excitement and u did not dissapoint frckn well played ma man
This video legit made me feel physically uncomfortable thanks dude
Loved the Evangelion-esque title around the beginning

Good taste Otz
I love this video otz, I can’t wait for your all bosses no hit video
This was beautiful. As i'm finishing my old first DS1 run after years of not touching the game and just beat Kalameet and have only Nito, 4 Kings, Manus, and Gwynn to slay (and about to upgrade from BKGS to Demon Greataxe +15 and face smash them all while rockin' rockChad Havel gear) - I salute you. Didn't even know the significance of your accomplishment until I stumbled upon this video 15 minutes ago. But great job. GG. Ez.
I was about to start crying when you beat Nashandra You fucking did it dude. I want to fucking hug you so hard because you've experienced more pain than any man ever has.
Sea Hitler well theres even a greater pain yet to be experienced...the no hit run (even hits that dont damage you like the guard break and kick also make you restart and damage from anything also makes you restart...so its basically the god run)
I DID CRY XD
You sir have more willpower than The Chosen Undead, Bearer of the Curse and The Ashen One, all combined
Don't forget the Hunter of Beasts and the Slayer of Demons.
..Well he is The Bearer of the Curse.
@@whisperhawkmoonspecialist9203 Good Hunter, not Hunter of Beasts.
I know theres some runners out there at this point that can do this much more calmly and optimally, but I always come back to this run. Otz's ups and downs make you really want to root for him, and when he finally gets the win you feel not only impressed but happy for Otz.
I am rewatching this video for what must have been the 10th time in 4 years. So many powerful emotions, and the song is fire!
My God... *congratulations* *congratulations* *congratulations* *congratulations* *congratulations* ... (everyone clapping, playing NGE - Good, or don't be OST)
My favorite ds channel
Thanks do more content
Godly. I can't even begin to imagine the heartbreak of all those hits taken at various points in the game and restarting in Things Betwixt. What a fucking beast. My hat is off to you, sir.
Truly impresive, great job men

my son, otz, can i tell you something? i am Fucking proud of you, now go to conquer the universe
Thanks dad!
This must be the epitome of almost hollowing in real life in a Souls game. Good on you to finally achieve what few undead have!
no undead have*
Such a beast of a man for just attempting this.
The chat at end was as crazy as you are you absolute madman!
Kills nashandra then immediately falls off a ledge
So I'm not the only one who thought that XD
OTZ YOU FCUKING MONSTER!!!! THIS WAS BEYOND EPICNESS!!!
Diego Intriago the absolute mad man. The fucking absolute madman did it
It's so Amazing, you've done it !
The sheer amount of effort that went into making this video is phenomenal
And never played DS2 again...
i've never seen someone who deserved a like and sub more than you bro. you earned it.
this is probably my favorite otz video ever
He actually did it. THE ABSOLUTE MADMAN.
When you ate the common fruit at the end, I thought you would get hit by Nashandra. Forgive me Otz, for I have doubted the common fruit power.
The Tailor what does common fruit even do?
Dragoncat Sage the common fruit is an ancient artifact of power from time long lost. it is imbued with the ultimate power to create... and destroy, many wars have been waged for... and with it. however during a battle that decimated and nearly destroyed the entire world it vanished... thousands of years later it was discovered by a chosen undead whose actions would decide the fate of the entire world...
You have been through a lot now feel proud and stand up as everyone praises you for your great achievement you have now become a legend
Thanks! Onto something else now!
Otzdarva love your vids
You've really started all over again so many times to make a no damage run? You're so damn crazy, i love u

came back again the first time i saw this vid it was around 200k, now 1.7m....flashback and tears felt apart, best of your luck in your gameplays
You really are something otz.Never give up.
with the level of anxiety I suffer on a normal basis, I would have had to take breaks to throw up the further I got doing something like this. I don't think I'd have been able to attempt it more than a few times, let alone finish. I never saw the stream, never saw prior attempts, and I skipped through most of this video to get to the end. The end still brought tears to my eyes. I hope you're proud of yourself, this was a hell of an accomplishment and no one can take that away from you.
Thanks pal
Cyborg Mcthrust watch the video it's pretty fuckin hilarious
...I did?
Cyborg Mcthrust you said you skipped a bit. Honestly this was amazing.
