    I'm starting it! Pyromancy only run. I'm sure something like this was done before, but I would like to hear if you guys have any suggestions or extra limitations to add.

    Limitations:
    Only use "Pyromancy Flame" as a weapon.
    You can wield Pyromancy Flame in a single hand or both hands if you wish.
    No Miracles or Sorceries.
    No shields.

    Pump attunment and use the reinforced club. It essentially becomes a SL1 run except you get more casts and the slight defense bonus from leveling attunement.

    ^ But you can't use the reinforced club, it's against the rules.
    Though it might be impossible to kill Quelaag without a weapon. We'll see.

    She's completely immune against fire damage. You'll have to rely on Maneater Mildred or you're toast. Roasted... buttered... toast.Pyromancy Only Run 4125110524

    Ah, no RC does make it more difficult. You will need to find a way to do Quelaag.

    I say use a pyromancer and use the pyro hand on the left hand, the weapon you star with on the right, and just bump up attunement and reinforce the weapon. good luck with 4 kings though.

    4 kings isn't that hard. Killed em on my SL1 on my second try. I equipped a Balder Shield +12, Gwyndolin's hat, painting guardian torso +0 and gloves +0, xanthous legs +5, bellowing dragoncrest ring. I did summon witch beatrice, but she didn't do that much. I pretty much just blocked their attacks, circled behind them, and combustioned them. They go down in like 3 or 4 great combustions this way. In NG with ascended +5 flame, that is.

    The rules do state 'no shield', but you can just as easily dodge them, or equip full havels and tank them happy

    For all eternity, whenever someone claims someone has balls for a boss fight encounter, I can and WILL remind you of the fact that I've killed every single in-game boss by throwing firebombs at them.

    Sounds like fun. Even Quelaag though? Also, at what SL, because I don't think it's really that hard if you have enough hp, defense and strength (firebombs scale with strength, according to the wiki). Then 4 kings would probably be the hardest, because it's the only dps race.

    Would Quelaag's furysword would break the rules? It does have a fire effect.

    At the end of the entire game, we had a level 46 character.
    NOTHING increases the power of items, not strength, dex, power within, dragon roar, red tearstone ring, etc.

    Alright, 2 conflicting sources, so I decided to test it myself, and you are correct. The wiki is wrong. Firebombs did 132 damage on hollow soldiers near firelink, no matter which character I used (1 with 50 str and 1 with 12).

    I was very upset when I discovered the wiki was wrong. I don't think this is something that prior to my run was ever tested, because I've read at least twenty times before that power within, or red tearstone ring, would effect items, but nothing is capable of increasing their damage except for getting counter damage (which daggers are effected by the leo ring) and "headshots" on bosses that take extra damage in particular spots.
