This was one of my fav streams to watch. We know bushy can easily kill bosses so it was much more fun to see him deploy never before seen strats which noone will ever use.
@ruanabdey3516 I watched the start of this stream, and it seems like this is not his first attempt. He said that just getting to Melina took him 3 hours at first.
25:53 this happened to me on my first playthrough, me and 2 friends just beat the godskins, and while playing with the seamless co-op mod we had to disconnect, my character woke up at the grace except in my case both godskins spawned, i screamed so loud my microphone peaked, one of the fondest memories i have of my first playthrough of a fromsoft game.
I'm curious about something...so by conservative estimates the Shattering War happened 2000-3000 years ago...Scarlet Rot does damage every second...Radahn has been infected with it since the end of the Shattering War...so how much HP do we think Radahn had before he got rot if his current HP is give or take 9,800? Obviously this is not a lore thing, just a silly thought experiment XD
Unfortunately he wouldn't be able to survive all this time with scarlet rot. As scarlet rot would deal 2% of the max health he had every second, Radahn would be dead after 50 seconds no matter what amount of health he had.
@Checkyourmail they're probably referring to that Martin (game of thrones writer) interview where he said he was hired to write the lore on what happened a few thousand years ago (which still could mean he was writing alot of pre-shattering such as ancient dragon lore and therefore pre-malenia&radahn fight)
@@rageprodthat’s the amount of damage strong scarlet rot does to the player right? But we can assume bosses/enemies can be affected differently and with different levels/types of rot. Yeah if it was percentage based there’s no real way out besides constant healing. I’m sure there’s some lore explanation that makes some level of sense
@@monhi64 There is, he used his great rune to burn himself and hold some of the rot. It prevented him from dying, but scarlet rot is still strong enough to defeat a greatrune, as seen in Malenia's greatrune and ended up zombified. Radahn got the malenia's scarlet rot, the strongest and most deadly scarlet rot of all.
The scarlet rot effect from cleanrot knights does less damage over time as opposed to the proc from swamps. I'm not sure how powerful other weapons are but technically you could make a run like this harder/easier.
Yea there’s different forms of scarlet rot. I believe getting rotted in the lake of rot does the most damage, it’s 2% x max hp +30 /second, needless to say it’s very deadly. So if you have 800 hp that’s 46 damage per second if my math serves me well which would be very tough to deal with until you can get some regen and healing stuff
@@grimreefer213 when I farm the cleanrot knights in the swamp I try to get the scarlet rot proc from their puke attack so that my trek through the swamp is less painful to farm their gear.
Yess, and for crossing the lake of rot I purposefully roll around in the lake and then get the rot while standing outside water. It also gives the weak version
The most entertaining part of challenge runs like this is the beginning, where you get to see how the person playing overcomes the challenge. But after that initial bit of getting set up it's sort of just a regular run from then on. This is a good example of that
I would like to propose an Iron Boots challenge run. Can you beat the game without ever picking up both feet from the ground? That means no jumping, running, rolling, mounting Torrent, using ladders, or falling. Elevators are fine, because your feet stay on the floor of the elevator, but it locks off a surprising amount of areas, and it might actually be difficult for you.
That's actually impossible, the glitch needed to skip to Faram Azula is both impossible to perform without lifting your feet of the ground, and there is a ladder you must climb to get to morgott. Ymfah did a no walking challenge and hit a similar wall, but he was still aloud to jump. Plus wrongwarping was patched out so he'd need to go back in updates.
One thing I wish about Maliketh's fight is that he would still throw out the occasional boulder or something, Dog just doing backflips and shit with his bigass sword and boom, out comes a boulder
I saw a similar thing to that Godskin glitch happen in a Bloodborne playthrough with the Living Failures. Sometimes on these combined healthbar bosses if they are defeated as a new one is spawning, it avoids the kill command and will continue to fight
I specially love challenge runs like this that aren't just about skill, but using the appropriate tricks and glitches to do a seemingly impossible task.
I have been waiting for this video because I genuinely don’t understand how this could ever be possible, thanks once again bushy for answering questions none of us will ask lol
If you were grabbing Faith, surprised you didn't go for Bestial Vitality. Would have helped a bunch with regen problems as well! But I love how the hardest part of this challenge wasn't Malenia, but actually just getting Torrent at the start!
But unrelated but you clubbing that fire giant right in the friggen eyeball reminded me about how that really should blind him at a certain point. Would be super cool if in the future games started incorporating consequences for the body parts you choose to attack. Maybe aim for the arms and that slowly reduces a boss attack damage, aim for the head and attacks get less accurate, legs reduce speed etc. The only game I can recall that incorporated this at least somewhat was fallout but wasn’t very satisfying
Im so impressed every video how you are still able to make content from elden ring even tho its been out for a while now. really blows me away how many ideas you've been able to come up with. well done
Around 23:20 you were wpndering what the godskin noble did, he did the animation that looked like summonim but what he was doing was probably waking the apostle up, because they were actually able and MEANT to do thst to prevent the sleep pot strat waking each other looks like a white and black (like black) shockwave pulsing and if it hits the sleeping duo partner it wakes them up
Bushy’s next run: “I’m gonna beat Elden Ring, but I can’t level up, I’m region locked, every enemy’s a random boss, I have all status effects permanently, I’m blindfolded, I can’t use any weapons or armor, I’m playing on a Wiimote , and every single attack is a one shot, and just to make this a bit more challenging I can’t use my flasks or the horse.”
Nope I don’t believe he ever directly said that. Honestly did not cross my mind but like you said I think there’s a baseline assumption that it doesn’t count. Makes me wonder if he ever thought that through cuz if he did you’d think he’d bring it up
Skumnut has done a run like this, though all the status effects are constantly building up instead of randomly triggering, so he has to worry about all status effects. Death is built up everytime he does a roll though.

I don’t know if you know this Bushy, but if you use assassin’s gambit in the Scarlett pool before Malenia it allows you to run through at normal speed. (Also works with lava pools)
I see no one commenting on the majestic playlist Bushy put in the video and I shake my head in disapproval. Cuphead, Hollow Knight, Even Dark Souls 2 makes it a bit. Banger :D
The only challenge that I haven’t seen him do that I think that would be up his alley would be a invasion run where every boss phase is accompanied by a real person trying to kill him as well. Allow him to use any Stats/equipment he wants. Not sure if there is a mod for this; but I would love to watch that :)
This is kinda cool for me because you were using stuff that was very similar to my build in my first playthrough. I had Great Stars with prayerful strike, and I used buffs like flame grant me strength and golden vow. I also used the regen and health-on-crit talismans as well as an incantation for regen (so I wasn't fully reliant on the physic). Funny how my noob build actually ended up having a use XD
Just curious, maybe it was covered during the run, but was there any particular reason why Bushy didn't switch from Crimsonburst tear to blessings boon or blessing of the erdtree once they were available? By switching to blessings boon, he could have equipped another tear like the spiked cracked tear for more damage and if he had switched to blessing of the erdtree, he could also have ditched both the icon shield and the blessed dew talisman and possibly light roll, while still replenish the same amount of HP. Not that he needed it though. LOL
"and that's how I took an hour to get to the Physicks Flask" this week, on my 3rd ever playthrough, (though I have watched runners and bingo brawlers for over a year), I have gone through Margit, Godrick, Rennala and some random bosses before remembering that the physicks existed lol.
Bushy just btw you can get two great stars in one play through since the update to varres quest and being able to fight the Npc for it and get the carriage one
facts, i love watching other people fight him. but at the same time i HATE fighting him cause he's just so mobile and feels like he's always running away so its hard asf for me💀. But i can still appreciate him cause while he's difficult he doesnt feel cheap like the gang fights along the lines of valiant gargoyles and godskin duo do, when i lose to gurranq/maliketh 10 times in a row it feels more like a skill issue rather than me just getting shafted by the game
past reaching aeonia this just becomes the canon, lore-accurate tarnished run once the tarnished inevitably catches rot from the cancer aids swamp and now has to live with it forever
Y'know what I think this challenge represents? No Hit run but you're on a timer. Because most bosses would only need to hit you once to kill him with how low his HP gets after a few seconds in battle.
The noble was really trying to make it godskin trio. Also just gotta say I love the Ghost of Tsushima music in the background. Such an under appreciated game.
@@Ruanabdey to hell if I know. TH-cam had a fit about half a year ago, where a bunch of creators' content was age restricted out of nowhere. Bushy was no exception.
This might technically be possible at RL1 if anyone wants to give it a shot (assuming you can actually get to Torrent and the like). It seems just barely impossible to fully outheal this scarlet rot, ending up at 1 damage taken per second. Starting HP at 10 vigor = 414 Use minimum HP gear: 414 - 18% from Lazuli Glintstone Crown in Raya Lucaria = 339.48 339.48 - 5% from Fia's hug in roundtable = 322.506 322.506 - 15% from Primal Glintstone Blade talisman in Mountaintops = 274.1301 DPS: 2% of max HP = 274.1301 * 2% = 5.48 which I assume is rounded up to 6 damage per second (dps). 8 dps + 6 dps = 14 dps Healing: Royal Remains Set = 8 healing per second (hps) Blessed Dew = 2 hps Icon Shield = 3 hps When below 18% hp: Total hps = 8 + 2 + 3 = 13 Total dps = 14 dps - 13 hps = 1 dps 18% of total HP: 49 49 hp / 1 dps = 49 seconds of lifetime To actually get all the gear you need to be able to do the start, get to Roundtable, Raya Lucaria, Dectus Medallions, and Mountaintops. I'm assuming all of that is possible by killing the Erdtree Avatar for the 3 minute healing flask, which should be possible by getting a bunch of health buffing equipment and/or getting high damage with something like Catch Flame from Rountable and a high level sacred seal. IF the damage per second is rounded down to 5 damage per second, we should be able to heal exactly the amount of damage taken once below 18% hp. In which case from that point it's just a normal hitless run, but your armor, shield, and one talisman slot are taken.
Bestial vitality tho, basically change Blessed Dew for Two Fingers talisman and get even more heal and some other incantations like Golden WOW with right tear. And there's still regen tear which gives 3 minutes of outregening rot, although that now means nothing and isn't worth it.
had a feeling this run would eventually simplay become a hitless run with the strats to match I am impressed how far you got trying to not do a full hitless setup
I feel they should implement if you're in something long enough that you become immune to it and resets every time you sit at the grace. I feel that'd be cool. (Obv wouldn't help against death)
Interesting that since the scarlet rot does mostly % based damage there’s a threshold where extra health hardly buys you anything. For example with 1000 health it would do 28 damage per tick, meaning you die in ~35 ticks. At 2000 health it does 48 damage per tick, meaning you die in ~42 ticks. Funny to me that doubling your health pool only gains you an extra 7 ticks in that case, and it only continues to be diminishing returns as the health pool grows larger and the 2% really starts to drive the damage over the +8 additional

The only challenge that I haven’t seen him do that I think that would be up his alley would be a invasion run where every boss phase is accompanied by a real person trying to kill him as well. Allow him to use any Stats/equipment he wants. Not sure if there is a mod for this; but I would love to watch that :)

This is kinda cool for me because you were using stuff that was very similar to my build in my first playthrough. I had Great Stars with prayerful strike, and I used buffs like flame grant me strength and golden vow. I also used the regen and health-on-crit talismans as well as an incantation for regen (so I wasn't fully reliant on the physic). Funny how my noob build actually ended up having a use XD
Just curious, maybe it was covered during the run, but was there any particular reason why Bushy didn't switch from Crimsonburst tear to blessings boon or blessing of the erdtree once they were available?
By switching to blessings boon, he could have equipped another tear like the spiked cracked tear for more damage and if he had switched to blessing of the erdtree, he could also have ditched both the icon shield and the blessed dew talisman and possibly light roll, while still replenish the same amount of HP.
Not that he needed it though. LOL
"and that's how I took an hour to get to the Physicks Flask"
this week, on my 3rd ever playthrough, (though I have watched runners and bingo brawlers for over a year), I have gone through Margit, Godrick, Rennala and some random bosses before remembering that the physicks existed lol.
"Are you playing in a museum?" - My fav chat quote

Bushy is such a degen and I love him. This is one of the craziest ER feats to date. 10 months after the video.
Bushy just btw you can get two great stars in one play through since the update to varres quest and being able to fight the Npc for it and get the carriage one
Nosk theme playing while you run from the bird. Truly captures the horror of the moment.
Maliketh is still by far one of the flashiest boss I have ever seen. Love it so much
facts, i love watching other people fight him. but at the same time i HATE fighting him cause he's just so mobile and feels like he's always running away so its hard asf for me💀. But i can still appreciate him cause while he's difficult he doesnt feel cheap like the gang fights along the lines of valiant gargoyles and godskin duo do, when i lose to gurranq/maliketh 10 times in a row it feels more like a skill issue rather than me just getting shafted by the game
Carpenter Brut music in the first 5 seconds? Splendid
I feel for that chatter that said "lets go, my favourite boss" right before bushy killed mohg in 14 seconds.

Should've named his character Batman for all the prep time he needed to do
past reaching aeonia this just becomes the canon, lore-accurate tarnished run once the tarnished inevitably catches rot from the cancer aids swamp and now has to live with it forever
I’ve been waiting years to hear someone use a Toxic Avenger track in a vid like this….top notch content as always bud! Keep them coming!
Y'know what I think this challenge represents? No Hit run but you're on a timer.
Because most bosses would only need to hit you once to kill him with how low his HP gets after a few seconds in battle.
Dude, this is a new level of torture, you're either insane or a masochist at this point. Good shit.
when the vid starts with Carpenter Brut, you know it's gonna be good.
Because of these videos, I appreciate my normal Elden Ring runs even more.
The noble was really trying to make it godskin trio.
Also just gotta say I love the Ghost of Tsushima music in the background. Such an under appreciated game.
Colossal weapons probably would've given you a little bit of help, considering their repostes activate the health regen twice
so do daggers
Isn’t Great Sars a colossal?
@@benwhite7317 great hammer
You forgot to mention that this is in practicality a no hit run
18:55 - Something about Rennala getting flattened is absolutely hilarious.
Today I learned that you can follow up wild strikes with an R2...after 600+ hours in this game.
This is one of the most entertaining and skilled challenges I've ever seen. Great job!
Bushy might just be the best Elden Ring player I've ever seen he makes this game look easy and does it so casually too
Was pissed when the last rot video got age restricted. Glad to see it reimagined
Why did it get age restricted
@@Ruanabdey to hell if I know. TH-cam had a fit about half a year ago, where a bunch of creators' content was age restricted out of nowhere. Bushy was no exception.
that whip snake killing you more times than most of the bosses is relatable
This might technically be possible at RL1 if anyone wants to give it a shot (assuming you can actually get to Torrent and the like). It seems just barely impossible to fully outheal this scarlet rot, ending up at 1 damage taken per second.
Starting HP at 10 vigor = 414
Use minimum HP gear:
414 - 18% from Lazuli Glintstone Crown in Raya Lucaria = 339.48
339.48 - 5% from Fia's hug in roundtable = 322.506
322.506 - 15% from Primal Glintstone Blade talisman in Mountaintops = 274.1301
DPS:
2% of max HP = 274.1301 * 2% = 5.48 which I assume is rounded up to 6 damage per second (dps).
8 dps + 6 dps = 14 dps
Healing:
Royal Remains Set = 8 healing per second (hps)
Blessed Dew = 2 hps
Icon Shield = 3 hps
When below 18% hp:
Total hps = 8 + 2 + 3 = 13
Total dps = 14 dps - 13 hps = 1 dps
18% of total HP: 49
49 hp / 1 dps = 49 seconds of lifetime
To actually get all the gear you need to be able to do the start, get to Roundtable, Raya Lucaria, Dectus Medallions, and Mountaintops. I'm assuming all of that is possible by killing the Erdtree Avatar for the 3 minute healing flask, which should be possible by getting a bunch of health buffing equipment and/or getting high damage with something like Catch Flame from Rountable and a high level sacred seal.
IF the damage per second is rounded down to 5 damage per second, we should be able to heal exactly the amount of damage taken once below 18% hp. In which case from that point it's just a normal hitless run, but your armor, shield, and one talisman slot are taken.
Bestial vitality tho, basically change Blessed Dew for Two Fingers talisman and get even more heal and some other incantations like Golden WOW with right tear. And there's still regen tear which gives 3 minutes of outregening rot, although that now means nothing and isn't worth it.
Watching these videos are fun, but they've also made me much more patient with this game. Taught me how to dodge and jump.
Regenerator's ring from Demon's souls: "look what they need to mimic a faction of my power"
had a feeling this run would eventually simplay become a hitless run with the strats to match
I am impressed how far you got trying to not do a full hitless setup
I enjoy runs where the overworld mobs are almost as much of a threat as the bosses
26:30 is some of the funniest shit I've seen in a Bushy video, great timing with an also extremely appropriate song
I find it funny that you have to reduce your max health to be able to live longer XD
Frozen dinners, imagine that. Only been around for 60 years or so. Healthy, of course it is. Add some more plastic for a completely rounded meal.
I love this!!! Even when i can't think of new challenges you show some fantastic ones
Love the Nosk theme for the birds hunting you down for dinner
I love the nosk boss fight music in the bird section
29:38 - "My body is slowly falling apart as the flesh is rotting of my bones, but taste my sickness-drenched balls"
I feel they should implement if you're in something long enough that you become immune to it and resets every time you sit at the grace. I feel that'd be cool. (Obv wouldn't help against death)
A death counter would be especially funny in this run😂
Interesting that since the scarlet rot does mostly % based damage there’s a threshold where extra health hardly buys you anything. For example with 1000 health it would do 28 damage per tick, meaning you die in ~35 ticks. At 2000 health it does 48 damage per tick, meaning you die in ~42 ticks. Funny to me that doubling your health pool only gains you an extra 7 ticks in that case, and it only continues to be diminishing returns as the health pool grows larger and the 2% really starts to drive the damage over the +8 additional
its crazy the lengths you need to go to to make the game challenging for you at this point
After you got minimum vigor, hugging fia would have been a great move
