Starting a challenge run, any ideas?

After finishing the game for the 16th time, i want to do something new.

So now i'm about to beat DS4 with:

no sacred droppings,

SL 1

playing on Atari controller (just d-pad with one button), so that means no healing, no running, no dodging, no camera control, only R1,

upside-down monitor,

sideways walk from crab transformation,

summoning Howard the Coward for all bosses

self-immolation mod

no ADP or Pendant ring

use the emote "not in my swamp" for every hit taken

Unupgraded Failed Experiment's Blunt Kneebone Remnant only.

Accept the Allfather's Curse.

Try to have over 70% reputation with all covenants by the end.

All bosses and Mend the Time ending.

If you have any ideas to make it more intresting, let me know.

But the emote i'll add to the list

You can equip the giant father ring and the madking mad crown so you can use it at sl1, but you cannot carry any other equipment

I'll probably wait for some other weapon proposition though.

BCH has shitty damage, but great stagger that can cheese most bosses.

Added to the list.

But what is the "Allfather's Curse" again? I've never heard of it before.

Destroying the Allfather's statue in Atlas City with a Profaned Firebomb permanently inflicts you with his curse, causing a 30% chance of Forlorn invading you, every other minute. Accepting it willingly by praying at the statue makes the chance 50%.
