So, I come to the Dark Souls community to beg of you: challenge me. And I mean seriously challenge me. Am I not allowed to spend souls in a specific stat? Must I use one weapon all the way through? Do I have to go through naked? Or so over-encumbered that I have to walk all the way through and can't dodge a slug? Should I do this in a specific time limit? I'd love to hear some suggestions, and I'll make a compilation of any and all challenges on this post. Who knows, maybe you too will try and attempt some of these challenges.
Try and present them in this format:
Not allowed to level above 20
Can't spend any souls in Vitality
Must start off as a Warrior
Restricted to str-based weapons
Must be over 50% encumbrance
Complete the game in under 10 hours
Done as such so each individual element of the challenge is on a separate line. I look forward to any suggestions and trying a few of them in between sessions of destroying people in PvP.
