I attempt to beat Dark Souls using a real trumpet to control the inputs (based off pitch). More info below! Please let me know if there are any sound issues. Huge thanks to Abject for the support and program!!!
TikTok: Please do not go to my Tiktok if you want the best content, stick to this channel and the clip channel! I made a Tiktok in order to have one more place to promote my content, but it is not and will never be my main focus. You will not miss ANYTHING by ignoring my Tiktok. Still, if you could help boost it off the ground, at least for a bit, that'd be appreciated!

Rules tl;dr: All game input must be from the trumpet, though accidental input from other sounds in the microphone are acceptable. All bosses, no quit-out strats or cheats.
Q: Why does your trumpet sound muffled / weird?
A: After moving into an apartment midway through the run, the only way I could continue the run was by using a mute. For various reasons, I am not using a conventional mute, but instead a mute tube that I built. It's essentially a bucket with sound absorbing material that I play into. This has a number of negative effects, but it's the only solution I could come up with.
Q: Software?
A: abject.itch.io/abject-audio-inputs
Q: Which bosses are left?
A: Priscilla, Sanctuary Guardian, Artorias, Kalameet, Manus, Gwyn
❔❔❔~~~~~General FAQ~~~~~❔❔❔
Q: Are you still making videos???
A: YES. Unfortunately, YouTube is not my full-time occupation (I simply don't make enough from it), so I try my best to work when I have time. This year, I have been busied by making the Fume Knight mod, moving states, and other things. I am now actively working on my DS1 One-Shot Run Video, slated for sometime 2025.
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.
Q: Will this become a video?
A: In the future.
Q: Will you do an all insert boss here run on Dark Souls 1, 2, or 3?
A: All Fume Knight will be my final All X Run unless there is substantial interest. I have no plans for Sekiro or Elden Ring, and Bloodborne has too many issues with modding, though when possible, I WILL do All Orphan of Kos.
Q: Do you stream runs that are not challenge runs?
A: Sometimes
