After throwing my knife away in Dark Souls 1 and living the high knife in Dark Souls 2, it's now time to try and live our best knife in Dark Souls 3.
How will this go? Well, watch the video to find out!
Shoutout to @TheBacklogs , his DS3 Firebombs only video was a great help with this run!

A knife well lived...
And oh what a forking existence it was 😂
Well shivved*
That’s some cutting edge humor
I still think you throw your knife away with these challenges.
ELDEN KNIFE
...why do I have a strong urge to eat Toblerones right now?
I'm opening up a Kick-starter next week "Buy Lemon a Toblerone".
@@JKLeeds i’d give my money to that
I'm honestly impressed that you could beat the Nameless King with throwing knives, I bet Lemon from the Backlogs would be proud, since he couldn't do it with fire bombs only
I hope so! His DS3 vid massively helped me out with this run 🙂
as we know, the pen is mightier than the sword. but the knife is sharper than the bomb
@@alicepbg2042 what a poet!
I think it’s because nameless kings armor is heavily resistant to fire damage
lemon cringe. couldn't handle a single joke therefore he perma banned me from everywhere. literal toddler smh.
If Lemon has the Firebomb Academy then you definitely should open a Throwing Knife University
🤔🤔🤔
Throwing Knife Scholarships inbound
Seek Erudition!
Going back to kill the Nameless King was the greatest plot twist of the century
Just like the twist of a knife...
@@JKLeedspls dont twist it it gives me big ouchies 😢
"I don't want to use fog door glitch, I think it's wrong" Me thinking about all the times I've been hit through the fog door...
Everyone is talking about the knife puns but I love how you keep giving Greirat different names
Thank you! Glad someone picked up on that 😄
It's like the Andre of Artorias from Crest in ds1
Same that was my favorite part
I was not expecting a recipe in the middle of my dark souls throwing knife challenge.... a welcome addition
When you wanted to become a baker but your parents forced you to become a Gaming KZheadr
imagine being a legendary warrior so ancient time has lost your name, and some pretzel-looking guy in a loincloth just walks up and throws 120 knives at you and your wyvern, ending your legend right there
This is my favourite comment so far 😂
glad to see you taking a ‘stab’ at this challenge in ds3 too. (:
Always!
Youre pretty sharp for thinking of that pun
I think seeing a crow quills run would be epic
It's on the list for sure 😁
@@JKLeedscrow quills weapon art only?
Same I’d love to see some of those more obscure weapons get some time in the spotlight
Ah, dammit JK... I was hoping you'd forget that the crow quills even existed. But you didn't and then you simply chose not to use them. I mentioned before that I started this same playthrough a year and half ago, but then didn't continue with it because it lost the audience vote for the final video before Elden Ring's release. After that I just never came back to it. But back then, crow quills were my secret weapon to make every single boss in the game viable given that it's an unlimited resource. So I thought about putting it back on my list if you wouldn't be able to defeat both DLC's, so that I could then succeed by using the crow quills. But you did consider them after all and didn't use them intentionally, which makes that idea fall a bit flat... Crapalicious... you're evidently more perceptive than I thought you were... how very disappointing 😞But it's to be expected that doing 3 knife related runs has sharpened your senses. So perhaps you are the sharpest knife in the drawer after all. Well... suppose it's a good thing because the crow quills actually really suck with terrible damage and they have an annoying spread out hitbox and their throwing animation is this awkward leaping animation (and for some reason applying bleed, frozen weapon or poison to the weapon has no actual effect on the quill darts) so using it against the DLC bosses would be a massive pain to begin with. Still, makes me feel a bit sad that my evil plan seems a bit dull now. Could I perhaps get a therapy session from you next time?
Well now you've made me want to try Crow Quills only even more 😁 Sorry to steal your thunder there, my chap. My office is always open, happy to return the therapy favour... I live on the ground floor though so we'll have to come up with an appropriate substitute to the 40 story drop 😂
@@JKLeeds you could always throw him up to the 40th floor with a curtain of knifes, Touhou style?
That Nameless King victory was massively impressive! Top marks for perseverance.
Thank you! It's a wonderful knife...
you should allow yourself to use the crow quills for dlc bosses, it is a dlc weapon after all
Nah, I'll do a separate run for that weapon 🙂
Love the Xenoblade and Persona songs in the background! Very impressed with your Nameless King kill, that dude took me the longest to kill on my first playthrough and that was with normal gear and weapon. Good job! Impressive tenacity all around really, these kinds of runs are not walks in the park.
It was a good challenge, but actually possible unlike DS1
Yeah, love the persona music.
When I saw the 8 damage on Vordt I thought this was impossible - the run was a dance one razor's edge but in the end, you were a cut above the challenge. Though I still can not believe how blade-end-ly the thicc fog gate stole your win from sister Friede, you deserved that one!
If I only could have cut the fog with a knife...
I just found your channel a few days ago and with the few im able to watch when im not busy I truly appreciate the jokes and the random recipe vids!
Wow, genuinely impressed that this was possible, especially that insane Nameless King kill. Good job, man! This was a killer video!
These knife puns are a cut above the rest.
A real slice of life
Great run, great video! Huge congratulations on the Nameless King victory!! Going in I thought that fight couldn't be done, but you gave me a welcome surprise; you were really a cut above the rest! 🤣🤣
Great video! Certainly agree with the Crow Quills not counting for this run but really hope to see that run eventually
Thanks! I do definitely wanna give it a go
Commenting before watching...it's gonna be more painful than all the others imo, but also theoretically doable. You got this!
Enjoy!
Never a dull moment in your videos. Cutting-edge stuff.
Always try to keep people on the edge (Of a knife)
Tremendo video bro. Tienes un excelente humor y la edición estuvo excelente.
dude you never fail to crack me up. Please never stop making videos
That was very impressive and I even learned something new (I didn't know about possibility to pick up items from outside of Boss arena). Great job! Seeing pretty good result with only knives, I feel encouraged to try beat my favourite Boss (Friede) with only consumables.
Do it! It's definitely possible with consumables
The guardian shiv is a godsend for consumable runs, too bad it's so late in the game. Ng+ gaming moment
Yeah when I figure out cheat engine, I may do a separate run with this
Very nice video my guy! Keep doing these👍
I’ve been patiently waiting for this video in the series. It’s finally here
Enjoy!
This was awesome, nice work man!
Great video! Could you have "savestated" before even triggering Friede's fight, while the fog wall isn't there yet, and dropped the knives inside the room maybe?
I never thought of that. Perhaps someone should test if it’d work
I love to listen to these grand tales while running errands. I can almost picture that grand bout at the top of lothric castle! 🤔
Knife to see there’s still some challenge being made about this masterpiece of a game, Ds3 is really a cut above the rest and the gameplay is the sharpest, most responsive of the 3
Idk what i want more now, that cheesecake or a bloodborne knife only video...
....how about both at the same time?
@@JKLeeds when will the bloodborne knife only video come out?
Old video - but I loved all the warhammer esque over the top commentary about the epic battles of running between bonfires 😂
Came for the dark souls... got a sweet ass cheese cake and a great run, thanks sir looking forward to more dakesouls.
Always a pleasure to see you upload
Always a pleasure to share videos with all you lovely people 😊
@jkleeds1031 You and Barron always make my day when you upload. You guys inspire me to stay on the grind, haha.
Very nicely done as always.
Very KNIFELY done I think you mean 😉
Been waiting for this one!
Thanks!
Damn bruh, gj on Nameless! Well and Princes, and Deacons... aite just gj on it all lol. Absolute madchad 😵 'No-rope bungee jumping' almost had me chokin' on my dinner XD
Low key high key, the Nameless King Throwing Knife only to that metal solo is peak KZhead. What a perfect video Mr Leeds ❤🎉
It's a shame too, because a nearly infinite throwing knife is locked behind the demon prince's fight
Yeah it would have made a huge difference! If only Demon's had a normal fog gate...
Which one?
@@drvofoka7033 painting guardian shiv, infinitely reusable, cost fp and it homes in
Thanks!@@stephjjb
I would love to see a run with the crow quills only one of my favorite weapons from that game please do :)
I’m so upset with the amount of puns😂 Wolnir miss, wolnir death experience!! I sighed heavily after chuckling
The "cooking/baking" segment was really funny!
Seeing the strat i first thought you were *throwing*, but now i can see that it was a pretty sharp Idea. Knives Video
Nameless King was so epic. Had me shedding a tear of awesomeness
Love the vid. Have you ever tried using a big blanket to minimize echo?
Love ur videos keep them coming. ❤
I feel like it would have been neat to go to use the crow quills but only for the bosses that werent possible otherwise (meaning, the DLC's.)
That nameless king fight was magnanimous. You are a certified gamer for that one.
GG for the run❤ and that cake was delicious
GG for the run. For Friede, there is a tactic used in bow only runs: in phase 1, when she is invisible and prepares her "big attack", if you land an headshot she staggers, but she stays in that position, so you can headshot her agin and again until she dies. Check Ymfah's video (DS3 bow only) at 16:10 I don't know if that would work with knifes, but if it does, she would be doable.
Yeah I did manage to do that but I still didn't have enough knives left to finish her off in phase 3
YES! A NEW EPISODE OF: Sad man who has lost his humanity cooks something + Bonus Dark Souls Challenge
Cheesecake was a surprise and it actually smashes. Great vid!!
I love these kinds of videos, only thing I wished you'd do is kill the bosses before and see if you can kill the bosses ahead
I love the park where jkl said it Knifing time and Knifed all over them
A knife time was had by all
The baking segments are so wholesome and such a great touch
Glad you like em! Need to decide what to cook next time 😋
That Nameless King fight 🤯🤯
Love ur content mate. As a father I approve and love ur sense of humor too. Keep up the great work u do. Thanks
Glad you liked the video and thanks for supporting the channel 🙂
if I tried this id have a brain aneurysm so thank you sir for the awesome content
I love these little cooking videos in the middle
I like making both the videos and the food!
Give urself a treat for all this trouble and play Elden Ring like that, you gonna have the time of your knife 👍
Oh we'll get there 😈 a couple other games need knifing first!
I used to suck at fighting Nameless King but for whatever reason during my last playthrough something clicked and I destroyed every single boss including Midir which is the hardest boss to me.
Whoah dude this is crazy. Respect
A run with the DLC weapons would be cool, especially the crows feet. Maybe a Follwers javelin wepon arts only? Even when you run out of blue you can still throw the javelin.
certified banger! awesome content
20:26 ik you failed the strat, but hiding only works in phase 2, in phase 1 the arrows are more at an angle and still hit you, whereas in phase 2 they fall straight down
Good to know for future!
theres always more knives! and WELL DONE on this run. i despise these inventory limits in DS3, bloodborne, and Elden ring, but even trying to contend with them you managed incredibly well. I cheered when you downed mr. nameless.
Right now, you could say I'm living the high knife 🔪
@@JKLeeds well, Make sure it doesn't get to dull, eh?
It's really knife to see a new video from you!
Hope you had a knife time watching it
8:48 🐦
Thanks! Don't worry, there will be a separate run just for Crows Quills coming sometime in 😄
@@JKLeeds Well, I'll be waiting! ^^ And I'm looking forward to it! 🙂 (Damn, that was some fast response, btw! Usually it takes like 12 hours, since I'm in Europe .^^)
Haha well I'm in the UK so similar time zones 🙂
@@JKLeeds well, now that you mention it, that _does_ make sense! >
For the "leave a set at the fog wall" trick - I did something like this! in DS2, I dropped several bags off NEAR the bonfire, THEN cleared the boss run, and ran a bunch to move bags one by one. So I only had to beat the enemies once. Except, in DS2, I think the bags persist if you die? Not sure if that works in DS3.
My favorite part is the throwing knife cameo that he’s using to cut the consumed kings cheesecake
Why, do people use something else apart from throwing knives to cut cheesecake?
@@JKLeeds i’ve always used crystal darts
I'd love to give this video more than one thump up for the music choice alone (Ethan Meixsell and Persona 5 especially), even if have to start another P5 playthrough thanks to you :(
I remember in one of the games, might be ds3, if you looked away just before the poison effect ran out, it would restart the timer
Crow's Feathers should totally count towards this challenge, I think. I reckon it'd make more sense than leaving bags outside the gate, since it isn't an exploit.
Amazing video! I wonder, could you have worn the red tearstone ring and then allowed yourself to get hit enough to get the damage boost?
2:32 ashy gerbal im fuggin BATMNH (blowing air through my nose holes)
normal and poision knifes are dealing thrust damage and are boosted by the leo ring, wich boosts theire counter damage very great
You could make an Elden Ring throwing knife only. In that game there's a good variety of different throwing knives. (Regular ones, Kukris, Fan daggers, and three you can craft, being another regular throwing knife, poison knives and a magic one, i din't know if i'm forgeting any kind of knife).
Man, you do love NKs SpearGrabAttack
I mean obviously I purposefully got hit by it to add drama to the video....obviously... 😅
You really demonstrated your perseverance on the old king
Love it!
You can use purging stones to make yourself look nornal again and she doesn't leave! She only leaves when you cure the dark sigels. (I use purging stones all the time cause hollowing looks awful)
I appreciate the Challenger Andy reference. Very underrated masochist.
He's a top lad
bro thinks he's barons castle, with all these quips. (love both your channels)
I love how when throwing the knifes at the dragon you can see them bounce off his scales and yet it still does damage to him. Pretty amusing
Congrats! You didn't even need to use the Church Guardian's Shiv (reusable DLC knife) to beat the game, which is all the more impressive.
The cake looks fire bro
i love when he said its knifing time and he started knifing everywhere
28:36 You really need a music list, I’ve heard this one so much over the years and have no idea what it’s name is.
kzhead.info/sun/opWHftCpepx9lok/bejne.html 😉
damn, the nameless king kill with throwing knives was dope
Wouldn't RTSR+Morion Blade bump your danage up high enough to best Nameless and Freide?
me after seeing that nameless king montage: you don't have the right, o, you don't have the right
I had to use Dragonslayer great axe and its op ability to beat Champ gundyr, cant even imagine doing it with knives....
You're killing me with the puns. I've never groaned louder in my life.
You gotta be the sharpest tool in the shed to try this run! Thankfully, you were able to nick by Any%; shame you just couldn't cut it on the DLC bosses :(
Yeah DLC stands for "Don't Like Cuts"
JK Leeds: just says The devourer of Gods Me: gets flashbacks from fighting the DoG in Terraria Calamity Mod
amazing challenge, hope you will do it on Elden ring as well
ok so about the decons curse you can get deep protection just before the deacons fight - it will increase your absorption by 20 and add a little bit of damage you can also farm mossfruit in farron keep from Basilisks, it adds another 80 lastly you can get profuse sweat from cornyx before crystal sage which is another 80 and definitely stacks with mossfruit added together it should just about double your curse absorption sadly, in regular new game, cursebite and fleshbite rings (by far the most effective way of resisting curse) are unobtainable at this point in the game lastly purging stones for some reason do nothing to curse despite what their description suggests tho alluring skulls should help the most, by moving the other guys out of the way, letting you deal damage freely
Most of that was on a knife's edge, very exciting! I hope you'll take a stab at Elden Ring as well. Consumables are crazy in that game.
It will happen....eventually 😄
