Dark Souls Remastered One Weapon Only challenge run: 011 Iaito (Part 1)

This is a series where I will be playing through Dark Souls Remastered using only a single weapon. Basic rules are: all bosses, no attacking consumables, no co-op phantoms/online, no glitches. For more details on the rules and the whole series of runs, follow this link to my Google Sheets info page. https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/... My first katana in the series is the Iaito, and though there's no particular reason to assume that an Iaido style is really a ninja thing, I decided to do the ninja cosplay for this run. And since the ninja NPC (and therefore my cosplay) also uses the Dark Wood Grain Ring (and the Iaito is a pretty good weapon), this run was definitely on the easy side. The fully upgraded Iaito makes short work of most of the remaining bosses, so this half moves almost with the urgency of a boss rush mode. I'm not exactly playing my best, but the sword together with the ninja flip ring are a considerable power-up.
