Can You Beat Elden Ring By Becoming The Moon?

  • My Elden Ring voyage under the wisdom of the moon. Using only full moon spells and the full moon crossbow on NG+ using a minimalist start at RL80. Rennala's full moon and Ranni's dark moon are high level spells that require no less than 70 intelligence to use. However this run turned to be way more tricky that you might think. There's however another spell that has the word moon in the name, but is not categorized as a full moon spell, namely Adula's moonblade. So I wasn't quite sure about using that one. Good thing in hindsight since it seems to be quite OP. Yet it did end up serving an unexpected purpose.

    To be clear, this is quite different than my previous Elden Ring videos. This one is essentially just a compilation of the livestreams of this run, because people who don't have time to watch lengthy streams have requested me to do that. So this is a bit of an experimental video to see how people react to more bite-size versions of livestreams. Obviously the fully scripted and edited videos are my main content, but that takes a long time to produce. So I'm checking to see how well videos like this one can serve to fill in the gaps between the videos that have a longer production time.

      Love this idea! These ~1 hour long videos are exactly the type of content I like listening to while working, but simply don't have the time to catch up on 12 hours of a run. Are you planning on using different types of thumbnails between the main videos, highlights and streams? I already have a bit of difficulty separating main videos and VODs from livestreams, and can imagine it getting worse now that the highlights are of similar length to the main videos.
      Also for the squeaky voice: I don't know what editing program you use, but most also have a pitch shift built in. For 2x speed up for example, you can shift it down 12 semitones to get the same pitch, ~7 semitones for 1.5x.
      If you use another speed, like 6x, just divide by 2 until the number becomes less than two and then look at the table on the Wikipedia page for "Equal Temprament", scroll to section 2.2.3 to which semitone is closest to what is left. (a semitone is 100 cents btw). Here we shift the pitch 2*12 semitones down (6x/4 = 1.5x) plus another 7 semitones for the remaining 1.5x speed.

      For me i understand why you made it but if i got to choose i would definatly choose the original editing style.
      I agree that if you keep making it you should get rid of the sped up voice. Maybe include some regular speed clips of the end instead of a sped up piece of the whole thing.
      Zero lenny's editing style is what I'm thinking of while saying this. Ofcourse you're not him and you make your own content :) houdoe

      I appreciate the slightly shorter videos. I've got a decent amount of time to watch youtube, but not a whole ton. The 1 hourish mark is the sweetspot imo.
      I'm pretty neutral on the squeaky voice because it fits in with similar jokes in the channel, but if most don't like it I'd say just pitch shift the audio down until its more normal (there's alot of really good tutorials on how to do it in each software)

It's always been possible to win with casting in PvP and felt way more of an accomplishment to do so, of course- A favourite tactic of PvP casters was using spells like dark fog or poison mist to hide their tells so the opponent couldn't tell what spell they were casting or know when to dodge. And of course Force and WOG have always had their uses. The ability to delay WOG in ER is insane, of course.

    Honestly, I really like the concept of starting out with some initial things. By now, everyone has a good concept of how to do the early game farm - big dragon, get smithing stones, acquire flask stuff, physik flask, get souls, farm more souls, etc. This saves a lot of unneccessay farming time, for runs where the beginning is not all that questionable to begin with
    Naturally, for runs where the beginning is one of the most difficult/lengthy portion, and skipping it would take out a large chunk of the challenge, this wouldn't quite fit. But here, it's neat

    • @PressContinue
      @PressContinue  2 ปีที่แล้ว +33

      Yeah as a general rule I do challenge runs on NG because part of the run is acquiring what you need within the limitations of the challenge. However sometimes it's not feasible on NG, so then in order to keep the sense of progression and acquiring what you need, I want to start in a minimalist way.

    If you have trouble with Placidusax's swoop attack. He only creates the aoe effect on the floor where he hits the floor and grinds over it until he comes to a standstill. In order to avoid it, you just have to run towards him when he shows up as a cloud in the sky, roll through his attack and if you've ran close enough, his whole aoe is now behind you. Never had any trouble anymore with it after I learned that.

      Yeah it was really effective on her, at least during the first phase since she tends to just walk menacingly towards you, so easy free hits. Second phase was different though because she becomes really aggressive and doesn't keep distance anymore. But at least when she is in flower mode you still get free a damage opportunity.

    • @demonintellect9834

    • @carljohan9265
      @carljohan9265 2 ปีที่แล้ว +5

      Fun fact, Malenia has extremely weak resistance to frostbite. She is also weak to bleed, but her frost bite resistance is only around 300. And she has zero fire resistance. (good resistance to magic and lightning and high holy resistance, mediocre to all phys damage).
      Now, when you deal fire damage to an enemy it removes frostbite, allowing you to inflict it again for another big health loss.
      So, get a bleed weapon and put the cold affinity on it so you can inflict frostbite and bleed at the same time, and have a means of hitting her with fire (which will hit hard with the frostbite debuff on).
      A greatsword that deals fire damage can also easily stagger her out of combos.
      My setup: Hoslow's petal whip with the cold affinity (inflicts 50 bleed and 100 frost), freezing pots and the bloodflies spell, then swap to powerstancing gargoyl's greatsword (deals a LOT of fire damage when set to flame affinity) and blasphemous blade.
      Oh, and I also summoned my mimic in the double greatswords config because with the both of us hitting her, it staggers her to hell and back and easily outdamages any healing she gets from hitting the mimic.
      The first time I tried this I bulldozed her first phase in what felt like 2 minutes and even poise broke her, which made me think of putting flame of the redmanes on either the whip or greatsword (got quickstep on them atm) as that deals crazy pose damage.
      Oh, and I also have Agheel's flame for when she does scarlet aeonia.
      Btw I'm using great jar's arsenal and eardtree's favor talismans to raise equip load a lot.

      Rennela moon does more magic damage. Also Ranni's moon is not a cold sorcery believe it or not. Moon sorcery is a separate category.

    The moon spells are actually superb fun for PvP. People often just can't seem to get a real handle on the delay in the cast, the way the projectile speeds up after a short time in the air, the tracking on it, the aoe on the detonation etc. It really can catch people and deal huge damage. I do wish the cast time could get another little buff though.

Was when my mimic killed the elden beast while I was mid death animation. It counted. I got the rememberance. But guess what! No souls to get back. Why's that, you might ask? Well that's because elden beast is a 1 time arena, unlike Radagons. So if you die in radagons, you can get them back. But die while elden beast is dying, and those sweet sweet 1m runes go fucking bye bye. Fortunately it hasn't happened to me since, and maybe they fixed that...
