Mirror, Mirror, Just Proc My Rings - [Part 11]
252Run: Damage can only be done by rings (and environment stuff like gravity). Armor is not allowed until a wall is hit. Save states are encouraged to prevent soft-locking. Miracles, hexes, damaging-items and spells are not allowed. Parrying and blocking is not allowed (just a personal preference).

~~~~~Frequently Asked Questions~~~~~
I encourage you to backseat if you know what you're talking about.
~~~Run-Specific FAQ~~~
Q: What rings do damage? What else are you using?
A: Old Sun Ring & Ring of Thorns. Ring of Binding is very helpful when I don't have effigies, and Silver Serpent Ring is good for farming. I don't really have a good 4th ring yet. Ring of Restoration heals to slow, Bracing Knuckle Ring is purportedly not working with rings, I don't really need Stamina during fights so Chloranthy ring is only good for non-boss battles, and Ring of Steel Protection reduces Ring of Thorns Damage.
Q: What about punch and Vanquisher's seal?
A: Punch is not ring, so no.
Q: Why no Tseldora Set/Armor/Shield/Punching???
A: All of those are against the rules, simple as that. They aren't rings.
Q: Why are you so bad at this game?
A: It's been over 6 years since I played this.
Q: Why did you restart the run?
A: There was a farming technique that (supposedly) allows me to get 1 million souls in about an hour and a half. At the point I was at in the other run, I still would have had to farm for 10+ hours. Farming is required for a multitude of reasons, but primarily to skip through Shrine of Winter with 1mil soul memory.
Q: Has this run been done before?
A: The idea has been done before, but with armor and miracles/spells by Hotspur (link). He is currently working on his video for the run. It has also been done by some other players, but to our knowledge not with the same exact rules
Q: All Bosses?
A: We'll see.
Q: How long do you intend to do this?
A: This is a viewer-selected run powered by donations. It is slated for 15 hours with the option for renewal.
Q: How long did it take the last guy to do this?
A: Over 400 hours :) But he also defeated every enemy at least once.
Q: Level all stats to max?
A: It takes many days to do that, and it's not worth it.
Farming ideas we've already tried:
-Straid's Cell Explode bois (AFK Soul Memory Strat)
-Sinner's Rise Elevator with Aberrations (Current Active Strat)
-Huntsman Copse Bridge
-Brightcove Villagers and Boulder
-Gyrm Knights and Mammoth in Door of Pharros
-Invader in Grave of Saints
-Dragonrider Cheese with Bonfire Ascetics (Not available until Aldia's Keep)
~~~~~General FAQ~~~~~
Q: Why do you do this?
A: So you don't have to.
Q: No, really?
A: I like problem solving and *some* of the runs are very enjoyable. Also clout.
Q: Will this become a video?
A: Maybe. Usually, the video comes out about a year after the stream (each video takes at least 100 hours to make).
Q: Will you do an all insert boss here run on Dark Souls 1, 2, or 3?
A: I plan to do every Dark Souls 1 Boss replacing all enemies runs that are supported by the mod. On DS 2 & 3, I will be doing Gael, Fume Knight and Midir Only. I have no plans for Sekiro, and Bloodborne has too many issues with modding.
Q: What music, I don't hear music?
A: http://www.tinyurl.com/CAMUSIC1. I use a separate site in order to prevent copyright.
Q: Do you stream challenge runs of games that are not FromSoftware?
A: I stream 3 different runs at a time, one of which will always be a game that is not a FromSoft game (Saturdays). On Mondays, I do a run that was selected by viewers, and on Wednesdays I typically do an All Boss Run in Dark Souls.
Q: Do you stream runs that are not challenge runs?
A: Very, very rarely.
Q: What happens when I donate?
A: First of all, thank you! When you donate, you have the ability to play on song ($1 = 5 minutes) in the Watch2Gether site. Set your username to who you donated as and send the link in the Watch2Gether chat and @me in the stream chat once you do so. It's a poor system, but it's what I got. Any unspent donations are recorded for later use. If you want to know how many song requests you have left, please @me.
