just thought of a challenge idea (maybe for a milestone). It'd be a remix of your top 15 challenges (one for each rememberance), where you could randomize for each boss what restrictions you use. 👀
Glintstone Key is totally part of a quest! Thops tells you that you need to get it, and you have to access the academy to get the second Glintstone Key, which you need for him to move from his starting location, which is the only way to get the spell version of Thops' Barrier. The spell is for sure a quest reward, so anything that's required to proceed the quest must be allowed imo.
I looked up a Reddit guide on how to have the most complete playthrough of Elden ring. There are so many fights and quests I had never even heard of until I followed the guide
I mean technically anything you get from defeating the bosses in Leyndell can be considered a quest reward or quest step because you can’t otherwise get in there without accepting Melina’s accord
I mean she ends the accord when you enter leyndell until after morgott is killed then she makes a new one to go to the forge so really everything until the forge is a quest
Cant you just not accept her accord though? You dont get the horse but you can still progress. It's been a while since ive started a new game and I dont remember the dialogue exactly so take that with a grain of salt
The Talisman Pouch is ABSOLUTELY allowed to be used for this run and should be considered a quest reward no matter how you slice it. Because you CANNOT continue the main story line without killing him and he just so happens to give a talisman pouch upon death.
Mental acrobatics like that are why this is one of my less-liked Bushy videos. What is or isn't a quest reward is really dubious and anyone could justify most of the items in the game either way. It really just seemed like a "quest reward" was whatever was convenient at the time. Buying stuff from the Twin Husks or w/e in the Roundtable Hold is definitely not a quest and a boss reward is really, really pushing it.
@@eXJonSnow Then again, if the story had not brought you there, you would have not gotten the item. Bosses usually give you their rememberences, since this is Godfrey's Astral projection; it just gives you a pouch.
@@Nadayan Then any item from a boss remembrance counts as a "quest item." As does the equipment you can get from them. That's the exact kinda thing I didn't like about this video, since you can justify soo many things that the "difficulty" of the playthrough essentially becomes low healing and not fully upgraded weapons. I think it's fair to say that even the Flask shouldn't be useable, because it just appears in your inventory after the Grafted Scion. What quest is that? Don't get me wrong, I love Bushy's videos. This one just seemed really meh, with a very undefined challenge.
@@eXJonSnow I was going to say Boss Rememberence items aren't earned from killing them, it's earned from trading the Rememberence in. It would have to be earned from a drop. The reason why I say the bosses can be quest rewards is because that's how they did it in DS3 and so forth. NPCs drop items upon their death when quest completed, and so were bosses because they were actually a part of quests.
Bushy probably disagrees with me on this but imo Hewg has his own questline to get a max level weapon and Melina explicitly tells you as part of her quest to get to Leyndell to level up, so I think both are still within completing quests. Edit: Just saw you are doing that but I noticed you didn't summon for the Radahn quest, which I think goes against using quest rewards since Alexander has to be let into the fight and Blaidd tells you he'll be there to help you fight.
TECHNICALLY speaking, if the finger reader crone you find right before finding the lift of dectus as an NPC, the dialogue she gives tells the player about the Dectus Medallion as a way of progressing the game by gaining access to Altus Plateau, so depending on how you look at it that could totally be a quest to obtain both sides of the medallion.
plus melina asks you to take her to the capital, that combined with the finger maiden wouldve definitely made me say the dectus medallion was allowed, but hey i guess that just proves i have less patience than bushy lol
Just a small thing but I really love that you show the descriptions for things that you pick up, as well as showing you set up every time you go into a fight. It's extremely helpful for people who may not have 1000 hours and don't know the effects of every single item by heart (like 99.99% of people, me included)
TH-cam stopped showing me dating sites Instead shows nothing but alcohol commercials "Hey your a single bastard that's gonna die alone and sad, why not waste your money on booze so you can live like a alcohol abusing male, just like your deadbeat father that gave you the scar eye and abandoned you at 10 months old" ..... Can I sue advertising for trying to make me drink alcohol?
I recognized this stagger thing on Rykard also in my level 1 run recently. It seems they added a timer to avoid people abusing the serpent hunter weapon art.
there was always a "stagger timer" on the weapon art, but it used to only start after landing its followup. now there's a timer on both the initial hit and the followup, while still letting the weapon art combo into itself
Technically speaking you could get the physick from the twin maidens after defeating godrick, though I don’t know what you could really do with an empty physick as there aren’t really any other quest related pickups for it.
It's an understated part of this run but lake of rot with only 3 base flasks was kinda impressive. Also 42:22 that was crazy how Lionel dodged you with his weapon art flourish.
As with the vast majority of streamers, they generally dont come up with the things, its usually the chat that does. But the streamers reaps all the credit for it.
I like how educational your videos are, plus the subtle humor. I being a noob, didn't know where 99% of all these questlines were or even how to do them so thank you!
Also I was wondering if you could make a guide video showing where and when to do every quest. I know you do this already but a smaller format video with just educational content would probably get a ton of views and help out a lot of players since Elden Ring does nothing to help players find items or progress without having to look things up first. Thats been my only pet peeve with Elden Ring tbh, everything else is pretty cool
18:45 Yep, the rot lake is an actual issue on certain playthroughs. I actually thought I might have been locked out of the ending to Ranni’s quest when I was doing a minimum health + no healing run. I ended up crafting 50+ rot curing boluses and used most of them to get across once lol In hindsight it would’ve been easier to use the incantation that cures rot considering I was a hybrid int-faith caster already but eh
@@Catxukluth Ah. That would have made pre 1.07 rot breath a lot more bearable. I've got like two bosses left in the game i think. Oh well. Ng+ always exists. Many thanks, I'll be sure to pick it up.
It would be interesting if you did a reverse of this run where you can ONLY use items you get from killing things such as npcs (this means most bell bearings and stones are off limits but every other bell bearing is fine and dandy), certain hostile enemies can drop smithing stones so it would still be viable and you would only have 2 talismen pouches like this run
23:40 “Let’s me marry Ranni, and since She didn’t sign the prenup, I get to take the moonlight greatsword” 😂 I was howling! you are one of the greatest streamers with your comedic wit. Keep it up!
This was a pretty good run. However, if you wanted to, you could've gotten the Great Stars weapon from the invader in Altus Plateau that's part of Varré's Questline and used that as a weapon.
It’d still contradict the rules as you don’t need to do milicent’s quest for the apostle to be there and drop his weapon, same as the AoW dropped by the godrick knight in kennet’s castle
@@nathanjora7627 I think you might have that confused with the Godskin Peeler that the apostle drops - the event they're referring to was added in patch... 1.06 I think? As a way for offline players to do White Mask Varré's questline. Once you get to the part where you'd normally need to do 3 invasions, you can visit the Seetheblood - or is it Writheblood? - Ruins in Altus Plateau, near the bridge that leads to Mt. Gelmir, with the Sanguine Noble in the basement. Around the ruins there'll be a red summon sign that you can use to invade a new NPC, who drops the Great Stars. It's a pretty solid heavy weapon, and it even heals on hit! There's another one that you can get from a traveling cart nearby - which used to be the only way to get it.
@@justcthanks4639 OP's comment says "modified", so I'm pretty sure he changed his message, because I don't think I'm blind to the point of confusing milicent and altus and godskin with varre and great stars... But then again, I am, so eh ^^" And yeah don't worry I know what questline the (new ?) comment is referring to.
Bro, beating Godfrey is apart of Melina’s quest, along with most of the other main bosses. Killing Radahn is apart of Ranni’s, killing Rykard is apart of that spirits quest, and so on
Technically, the dectus medallion halves are part of Rya’s quest! Though she recommends you take the Magma Wyrm path, she has a unique part of her quest if you just get the medallions(she’ll appear near the lift rather than in Lux Ruins). I’m not sure if you would count it, but since it’s for my girl Rya, I definitely would!
yes technically the knight is always at the fort, but Keneth asks you to "take back the fort" and if you only kill the knight, Keneths quest progress so you are right, but also technically he is also part of the quest so... I don't know. Regardless I think you made the right call because with that ash of war alone you could probably finish the entire game and that wouldn't have given awesome content for you tube :D
Wouldn't Patches(whip he gives you) and Guraanq (items and incants) also count? Even the Kamehameha would be a quest "reward" for finding the guy to progress the Sellia questline. She requests that you continue learning as you are her apprentice, so its still a quest reward.
I love this idea and I did it myself like two months back. I have to say through you get the flask when you awaken and not when you talk to Melanie so I don't think you were be allowed to use them. But if you used thr golden seed, you could have gotten one flask which I needed to complete the final boss
Pretty sure getting the 2 hosslow petal whip (1 from the assassination quest and the other dropped by juno after he dies defending jar bairn) would have made both the godskin duo and malenia fight much easier. Also if you gain an ash of war trough a quest wouldn't that allow you to change the affinity of the weapon you put it on ?
your voice is very soothing and I just enjoy listening to your voice. It's very nice to have as background. Your challenges are also insane and fun to watch.
The erdsteel dagger is actually really fun to use if you get two of them and use them with sacred scaling. They get both physical holy magic damage with it's scaling.
Finishing Ranni's quest would have given you Dolores Sleeping Arrow summon from the now-deceased Pidia , would have helped with Godskin Duo, I think. Also, must say -- really enjoy your content dude. Well edited and narrated, I don't always have the time to watch streams, but appreciate the effort that goes into the YT vids.
Can your next one be using only Remembrance Items (including those unlocked by defeating them such as Radahn's armor)? It seems like it could be a fun one.
I love these challenge videos, they're so creative. If you're looking for a challenge Idea I have one: ldn Ring (Elden Ring but no E) You can choose how bonkers you want it to be. Like no E in talsimans, weapons, consumables, or everything with E isnt allowed (Stats, Locations, Every item with E).
Just curious, wouldn't the grafted greatsword also count as a quest as Edgar does mention afterwards that the greatsword being in your possession is probably the best possible thing meaning you did progress something.
I think a loophole can be considered where anything you get from killing bosses that you HAVE to kill in order to progress the main questline can also count, since it's still a questline.
ik this is a joke but to be fair melina gives you the power to turn runes into strength as a incentive to take her to the capital and later to the forge and to become elden lord, and to do that you need to kill things and collect runes so id say using runes to level up is a quest reward
The twin maiden husks are technically not an NPC, but they're kinda more of a map feature that lets you buy stuff from them, like Bernals sword in in the volcano manor. But I do reckon that the thing about bell bearings is kinda fair.
You could gather all the death root and get the crimson and cerulean assassin's daggers, it is part of a quest so that would fall under that I believe.
Seeing Wolf's Assault so many times in a row made me realize - it's exactly like one of Maliketh's attack, just swap frost explosion for Destined Death. It's a nice touch
Good run, the only thing I feel you didn’t need to do, was to use the Nagakiba. You are already really good, so I feel like Katanas trivialize things a bit too much in the early game.
So, he considers giving bell bearing as quests, but says the Dectus medallion isn’t used to progress quests, like as though Rya doesn’t wait until after you use the lift to invite you to Volcano Manor? Intriguing 🧐
You don't HAVE to use the lift to get Rya to appear there. As long as you make it to Altus she'll be there. So no, it's not technically part of the quest line since going the long way will do it.
@@robbybevard8034 but she does tell you about the dectus medallion as a way to get to altus, so she really does give it as an option. plus a finger maiden also tells you about the medallion as well
In all fairness several quests do give out great rewards, either directly (Blaidd, Ranni, Sellen, Alexander and Yura in particular) or from bosses that must be defeated through the quest itself. With that being said, the biggest hurdles to this challenge are the initial setup, being unable to access the physick, and the inability to upgrade flasks. Apart from that the actual amount of things that are theoretically "necessary" to progress all the quests in the game is still quite broad, so it's not really as limiting as one might initially suspect.
Moongrum is literally the definition of "I am Weird but I am Proud". And it'sl always funny to see, lmfao Edit: Also, the "F**king hit the child" was both hilarious, and concerning, lol
Grear challenge, loved it. By the way, you can get Edgar's halberd without doing Irina's quest if you just kill him in Castle Mourne. So you can either use Bloody Slash or can't use the halberd since they're both enemies that drop the item regardless of their quest. The knight is actually more important since you are required to kill him to progress the quest, while you can just ignore Esgar the Revenger after Irina's quest is done
I think the important note is that it's not Irina's Quest, but Edgar's, which results in the halberd. And if you allow killing Edgar indiscriminately just for his weapon, which is an action that doesn't have anything to do with anyone's quest, then you're just opening the door to using any loot from any enemy and the run becomes moot
Technically speaking, Getting Malenia to the forge is a quest... and so everything from the start to then is part of her quest. Actually.... several people tell you to become eldenlord.
Love your videos my friend. I may have a challenge for your next one. You know when you kill bosses and you spend the runes for level up? How about every time you die the boss "steals" a level from you and goes NG+1 , +2, +3 etc. ?
Fun fact: right after you give dung eater the potion, wait until he stops talking, then if you kill him, you get his armor. His body won't show up in seluvis' secret room but you can still buy the puppet. Win win!
It's also possible to access the altus plateau via patches. Progress his quest until he's in liurnia and talk to him to learn about the iron maiden. Progress through the tunnels without going through the manor and after a boss fight with two iron maidens, you'll get spat out into Altus
@juscbh BHUVSDSDVBHJWSDV you also don’t need to talk to anyone to go into Altus through the side tunnel. A Finger Maiden may suggest it to you, but it’s not technically a quest. That “it can be done anyways” reasoning is way too convoluted.
I love the Royal Greatsword. It’s one of my favorite weapons in the game. I just wish it was a regular greatsword instead of a colossal sword, so that it would be a bit faster to wield.
So for anyone that's wondering, Rykard will only stun from the AoW after every *second* attack he makes. So AoW twice, dodge two attacks. Weave in a couple regular attacks while waiting, then AoW twice. Repeat. This is how I kill Rykard first try (nearly) every time. I also try to stay as close to him as you can so you avoid his head into ground attack, never been able to figure out how to dodge that one.
Isn’t the giga game of thrones greatsword a quest reward too? As part of getting sad man to leave the castle he asks you to kill the Leonine Misbegotten and then rewards you with the Legendary Greatsword. At minimum it’s auxiliary to the overarching 3 finger quest line.
You can also get to Altus plateau by getting eaten by the iron virgin thing at the bottom of raya lucaria, fighting the boss duo, and then traveling down to the plateau from where you come out of the boss arena.
In my opinion if you get the letter for volcano mansion, you can use the medallions because is can consider part of the quest line, that be my loophole in to use it. Also there lots of quest items in the V.Castle

i would never think of this idea, thanks bushy for exploring so many ideas and making quality content.
Not done yet, but now I can only wonder. When will Bushy finish Elden Ring in every obscure and challenging way possible?
Nice vid! Thx!
Have to say that you should had been able to use all the talisman pouches. I mean, the main quests is still a quest after all
42:34 This big man twirls and absolutely evades your sword my dude. No argument that should've missed
The real challenge of this run was coming to an agreement with Twitch Chat of what defines as a quest or not
yes technically the knight is always at the fort, but Keneth asks you to "take back the fort" and if you only kill the knight, Keneths quest progress so you are right, but also technically he is also part of the quest so... I don't know. Regardless I think you made the right call because with that ash of war alone you could probably finish the entire game and that wouldn't have given awesome content for you tube :D
Wouldn't Patches(whip he gives you) and Guraanq (items and incants) also count? Even the Kamehameha would be a quest "reward" for finding the guy to progress the Sellia questline. She requests that you continue learning as you are her apprentice, so its still a quest reward.
I love this idea and I did it myself like two months back. I have to say through you get the flask when you awaken and not when you talk to Melanie so I don't think you were be allowed to use them. But if you used thr golden seed, you could have gotten one flask which I needed to complete the final boss
How you can play this game so much and still don't know that the glintstone key is a quest item is beyond me.
Pretty sure getting the 2 hosslow petal whip (1 from the assassination quest and the other dropped by juno after he dies defending jar bairn) would have made both the godskin duo and malenia fight much easier. Also if you gain an ash of war trough a quest wouldn't that allow you to change the affinity of the weapon you put it on ?
The Whetblades, remember, you need them to change affinities. They're not quest rewards, I think.
your voice is very soothing and I just enjoy listening to your voice. It's very nice to have as background. Your challenges are also insane and fun to watch.
I mean, TECHNICALLY the main quest is a quest
The erdsteel dagger is actually really fun to use if you get two of them and use them with sacred scaling. They get both physical holy magic damage with it's scaling.
“And she didn’t sign a prenup, which lets me take the moonlight great sword.” I died 🤣
Finishing Ranni's quest would have given you Dolores Sleeping Arrow summon from the now-deceased Pidia , would have helped with Godskin Duo, I think.
Also, must say -- really enjoy your content dude. Well edited and narrated, I don't always have the time to watch streams, but appreciate the effort that goes into the YT vids.
Can your next one be using only Remembrance Items (including those unlocked by defeating them such as Radahn's armor)? It seems like it could be a fun one.
The issue is defeating a remembrance boss without a weapon
I love these challenge videos, they're so creative.
If you're looking for a challenge Idea I have one: ldn Ring
(Elden Ring but no E)
You can choose how bonkers you want it to be. Like no E in talsimans, weapons, consumables, or everything with E isnt allowed (Stats, Locations, Every item with E).
Just curious, wouldn't the grafted greatsword also count as a quest as Edgar does mention afterwards that the greatsword being in your possession is probably the best possible thing meaning you did progress something.
Yeah I'd count it as a quest item since protection of the sword gets Ed to move faster to his daughter since it was the reason he stayed...
I think a loophole can be considered where anything you get from killing bosses that you HAVE to kill in order to progress the main questline can also count, since it's still a questline.
I love watching bushy's elden ring challenge videos
Edit: love you lots bushy!
Fun fact: The unsheathe skill without any FP still does more damage and has more stance pressure than a charged heavy
Smh invalid run, leveled up with non-quest runes.
ik this is a joke but to be fair melina gives you the power to turn runes into strength as a incentive to take her to the capital and later to the forge and to become elden lord, and to do that you need to kill things and collect runes so id say using runes to level up is a quest reward
Love how you include the equipment for each fight!
The twin maiden husks are technically not an NPC, but they're kinda more of a map feature that lets you buy stuff from them, like Bernals sword in in the volcano manor. But I do reckon that the thing about bell bearings is kinda fair.
If you talk to Rogier earlier in the quest, you get his +8 Rapier, which can be a really nice early game Int weapon.
I just started, but I hope you got at least one extra flask, since you get a golden seed from delivering the chrysalids momento to Roderika.
Edit: oof
Run idea: Pizza boy.
You can only use the pizza slicer weapon or knives, and you only get 30-45 minutes between bosses to prepare and get to them.
Your videos always make my day. Great work, as always!
start naked, go to caelid start milicent quest, cheese oneil for his commander standart, good buff and decent weapon
Did my own challenge run to this video: drink whenever bushy says “we love to see it” and try not to get drunk…. I failed
You could gather all the death root and get the crimson and cerulean assassin's daggers, it is part of a quest so that would fall under that I believe.
I hope to become half as good as this dude I actually started streaming because of him. Yesterday was my first stream.
Keep going bro! Maybe you can catch viewers some day ;)
Seeing Wolf's Assault so many times in a row made me realize - it's exactly like one of Maliketh's attack, just swap frost explosion for Destined Death.
It's a nice touch
Next video idea: Play Elden ring but you can’t lock on.
Can we have a Moongrum shenanigans compilation? Sick bastard's always cookin something up 🤣
Good run, the only thing I feel you didn’t need to do, was to use the Nagakiba. You are already really good, so I feel like Katanas trivialize things a bit too much in the early game.
Moongrum is always such a highlight of your runs
So, he considers giving bell bearing as quests, but says the Dectus medallion isn’t used to progress quests, like as though Rya doesn’t wait until after you use the lift to invite you to Volcano Manor? Intriguing 🧐
You don't HAVE to use the lift to get Rya to appear there. As long as you make it to Altus she'll be there. So no, it's not technically part of the quest line since going the long way will do it.
@@robbybevard8034 but she does tell you about the dectus medallion as a way to get to altus, so she really does give it as an option. plus a finger maiden also tells you about the medallion as well
In all fairness several quests do give out great rewards, either directly (Blaidd, Ranni, Sellen, Alexander and Yura in particular) or from bosses that must be defeated through the quest itself. With that being said, the biggest hurdles to this challenge are the initial setup, being unable to access the physick, and the inability to upgrade flasks. Apart from that the actual amount of things that are theoretically "necessary" to progress all the quests in the game is still quite broad, so it's not really as limiting as one might initially suspect.
42:48 370 pounds => 167,83 Kg
thanks!
The rogers rapier would be a good weapon because it is already +8 and being obtained from guy by a dialogue after defeating godrick
Moongrum is literally the definition of "I am Weird but I am Proud". And it'sl always funny to see, lmfao
Edit: Also, the "F**king hit the child" was both hilarious, and concerning, lol
Grear challenge, loved it. By the way, you can get Edgar's halberd without doing Irina's quest if you just kill him in Castle Mourne. So you can either use Bloody Slash or can't use the halberd since they're both enemies that drop the item regardless of their quest. The knight is actually more important since you are required to kill him to progress the quest, while you can just ignore Esgar the Revenger after Irina's quest is done
I think the important note is that it's not Irina's Quest, but Edgar's, which results in the halberd. And if you allow killing Edgar indiscriminately just for his weapon, which is an action that doesn't have anything to do with anyone's quest, then you're just opening the door to using any loot from any enemy and the run becomes moot
Technically speaking, Getting Malenia to the forge is a quest... and so everything from the start to then is part of her quest. Actually.... several people tell you to become eldenlord.
Love your videos my friend. I may have a challenge for your next one. You know when you kill bosses and you spend the runes for level up? How about every time you die the boss "steals" a level from you and goes NG+1 , +2, +3 etc. ?
Erdsteel Dagger is pretty good if you can get a Flame Arts scaling on it.
You should do a glintstone only run, I feel like that would be fun
Gotta hand it to you man. That lake of rot strategy was boss.
42:25 is such a relatable rant :D I know I've been there
i really liked the format of this video. Glad to see you're trying out some new things!
I'd say using the Great Stars you get from invading that guy for Varre's questline was probably also within the rules
Fun fact: right after you give dung eater the potion, wait until he stops talking, then if you kill him, you get his armor. His body won't show up in seluvis' secret room but you can still buy the puppet. Win win!
i love watching challenge runs where they beat bosses like Radahn no summons in 2 attempts but still get stuck on the Foreskin Duo
It's also possible to access the altus plateau via patches. Progress his quest until he's in liurnia and talk to him to learn about the iron maiden. Progress through the tunnels without going through the manor and after a boss fight with two iron maidens, you'll get spat out into Altus
@juscbh BHUVSDSDVBHJWSDV you also don’t need to talk to anyone to go into Altus through the side tunnel. A Finger Maiden may suggest it to you, but it’s not technically a quest. That “it can be done anyways” reasoning is way too convoluted.
I love the Royal Greatsword. It’s one of my favorite weapons in the game. I just wish it was a regular greatsword instead of a colossal sword, so that it would be a bit faster to wield.
I don't know I think you could have used the physic because Kale gives you a letter that tells you about it. That's kind of like a quest.
Most fun I ever had, was getting the Nagakiba before any boss.with doing Yuras Questline, because killing him directly was far to easy ;)
So for anyone that's wondering, Rykard will only stun from the AoW after every *second* attack he makes. So AoW twice, dodge two attacks. Weave in a couple regular attacks while waiting, then AoW twice. Repeat. This is how I kill Rykard first try (nearly) every time. I also try to stay as close to him as you can so you avoid his head into ground attack, never been able to figure out how to dodge that one.
Love all your videos, it was also really nice seeing a fair mimic tear fight 10/10 my man
Isn’t the giga game of thrones greatsword a quest reward too? As part of getting sad man to leave the castle he asks you to kill the Leonine Misbegotten and then rewards you with the Legendary Greatsword. At minimum it’s auxiliary to the overarching 3 finger quest line.
Surprised to see no armory charm from Nephali Loux or Great Warrior Jar. Would have thought either of those would have counted.
You can also get to Altus plateau by getting eaten by the iron virgin thing at the bottom of raya lucaria, fighting the boss duo, and then traveling down to the plateau from where you come out of the boss arena.
I would say the talisman pouch is aloud because it's given after killing a boss that's required to advance the game
Yeah, Morgott and Gold Godfrey are mandatory parts of Melina's quest so they shoulda been allowed
In my opinion if you get the letter for volcano mansion, you can use the medallions because is can consider part of the quest line, that be my loophole in to use it.
Also there lots of quest items in the V.Castle
16:02 Latenna: "You may see me as Disposable and Expendable, but I am forever Loyal to you and will always be there to help."
Tarnished: "Perhaps I have treated you harshly"
