I love the octopus head. Got it on my first playthrough and just laughed for like two minutes straight when I saw the wiggly jiggly tentacles. Great video, JK Leeds!
JK - Can you beat Dark Souls 1 as a Gargoyle? -Stone armor only (Gargoyle helm allowed if it drops) -Gargoyle weapons/shield only -Flame whip pyromancy allowed (most like fire breath) -other pyromancies NOT allowed Collect stone armor and Gargoyle's halberd first, then start over from Firelink. I already posted this idea to a Backlogs video, so maybe ask him if he's doing it already. This is more your style though.
I got the head from like the second ever octopus creature I killed in elden ring, so I didn’t realize till much later that it’s a very rare random drop.
I was going to say "why not use stone of gurranq? Land octopuses literally vomit boulders." Until I realized you were attempting to cosplay an actual octopus lol. Good run as usual my guy.
Anyone who's seen what the octopus in the snowfield can do to the magma wyrm nearby knows better than to be surprised by the glorious power of the Elden Octopus
Maybe the old runs where I was beating the Elden Ring dungeons using only equipment found within? Loved fighting with weapons I would never normally use
You are improving at both the games and video creating at an alarming pace. This video was extremely cosy to watch and I mean that in the best way ever. I could watch this stuff for weeks.
I knew! I love it! It’s amazing for comedic “roleplay” where you pretend that your not a tarnished, your just an octopus that’s possessed a suit of armor
You can progress Varre's quest offline so you can get access to the Mohgwyn Palace very very early in the game. Been binging all your videos lately and I've been loving every single pun!!
6:51 The octopus is truly a magnificent creature boasting an intelligence on par with humans, adaptability through the roof, and can escape from predators without an inking of where they’ve run off to. ^^
Actually this helmet was one reason for me to play the Elden Ring Reforged Mod, where you get a special currency, if you start a ng+ cycle right at the beginnning, that allows you to buy every item in the game. Oh and nice video lad, i really appreciate your content ^^ Edit: The octopus is the most majestic creature to ever live and no one can tell me otherwise
I recently did a run using Bolt of Gransax and a pre-planned outfit, but I had this drop for me in Limgrave and couldn't help but put it on until I had my main weapon and armor. I wore it with the battlemage manchettes and legwraps.
22:34 Occult does not "turn the Arcane stat into pure damage instead of improving your status buildup. Occult increases Arcane scaling on a weapon without adding a flat status to the weapon. And Arcane increases any existing status effect, so if you have Bleed or Poison already on a weapon (such as with Hoslow's Petal Whip) then Occult will still dramatically increase the status effect. At 80 Arcane, Occult weapons come very close to Blood/Poison weapons in status buildup but have a lot more damage on top.
I'm pretty sure you you can get hoslow's petal whip right at the start of you kill the guy (forgot his first name) as he's grieving his servant in liurnia
Favorite C-food? That's a weird question, but I suppose mine would be crab. This felt less like a challenge run and more like a fashion run, nd I'm all for it.
The octopus really is an amazing creature. There are so many vastly different species as well. Did you know the top 3 most venomous creatures in the world are all marine animals? Including the absolutely deadly (and tiny) blue ringed octopus.
Have to give you thanks for the music you used. Was wondering why there such creeping tension and dread. Then I remembered. That sound. Warning of impending doom and drowning. Excellent choice sir
This is one of my favorite helmets in the game. It was the first armor piece I obtained in my first playthrough of Elden Ring, so I am extremely surprised to hear that it is actually extremely rare. Cool to see you use such a silly looking headgear!!!!
I've always really liked the dual whip moveset, but whips in general have one fatal flaw that keeps me from using them much, the inability to backstab/critical. Sure I could carry another weapon to swap to for those moments, but often when I carry another weapon I have to keep swapping to, I end up just using said other weapon.
That was fun. Uh! Now that you've been an octopus, try being an ant. There's literally two items for that. Antspur Rapier and Ant's Skull Shield. I wonder if you (general term) can even GET the rapier without weapons...
You know I've been wondering for a bit now if it's possible to beat Dark Souls using only the Titanite catch Poles jump attack, love the video and its nice seening the mighty octopus getting some recognition
Could you have used Perfumes to emulate the octopus ink/lobster spit? The only ones I'd technically count would probably be the Poison or Acid Spraymists, but you could potentially argue Bloodboil Aromatic to emulate Jellyfish frenzy if you wanted. Great video!
The octopus is a respectable beautiful majestic creature, and this is the evidence, may the whipfire puns are always a treat I love these videos thank you Mr leeds
I'm doing to same challenge except I'm calling it my kinky nun run. Lol. It's a bit harder than I'd think but I'll be playing with status attacks more.
21:45 I have "killed" Adula in her first location only once before because I was curious, so I used a hypermode build. Can confirm she is unkillable at that location and is scripted to fly away no matter what. She's only able to be killed the second time you fight her.
29:06 I'm sure you said this as a joke, but you know snakes have bones. Right? Unless you want to consider it one giant tentacle. Either way, that was an excellent challenge run. Love seeing the dual whip moveset in action
i had to dfarm like 20 hours to get that stupid thing for my cursed fashion run... octohat, blooming tree body armor, and that dragon fist, man my guy looked so cursed
Ok, I gotta come back to comment this. During my fight with Theodorix in the Consecrated Snowfield, he did his charge attack, accidentally aggroed one of the Giant Octopuses nearby, and got his shit absolutely slapped. The octopus brought him down to one-shot from a little over half HP too. I have witnessed the might of the octopus firsthand.
I love the octopus head. Got it on my first playthrough and just laughed for like two minutes straight when I saw the wiggly jiggly tentacles. Great video, JK Leeds!
Top notch head gear, high fashion
@@JKLeeds Fun fact, use it with Mohg's armor to look like him
My favorite helmet in the game. I got it really early on and pretty much never take it off.
The octopus is the most majestic creature to ever live and no one can tell me otherwise
Otherwise
*stares in squid*
Thanks.
Love that octopussy fr fr
What DMC5 Dante said
29:08 you know that snakes have a skeleton...right? RIGHT?!
WAIT WHAT?!
@@TheOneEyed-Music they are reptiles after all
JK - Can you beat Dark Souls 1 as a Gargoyle?
-Stone armor only (Gargoyle helm allowed if it drops)

22:07 Actually, considering the life cycle and design of a Falling Star Beast, Astel is actually a lacewing, the adult form of the ant lion!
I got the head from like the second ever octopus creature I killed in elden ring, so I didn’t realize till much later that it’s a very rare random drop.
Octopus are beautiful and majestic creatures. I loves them.
Damn right you do!!!
My first ever memory I have was seeing a YT vid of an octopus wrestling down a reef shark and eating it. Instant fav creature
Let’s kick off the month of the Tentacle with style!

I was going to say "why not use stone of gurranq? Land octopuses literally vomit boulders." Until I realized you were attempting to cosplay an actual octopus lol. Good run as usual my guy.
1:20 If you kill Diallos in Liurnia he drops the Hoslow's Petal Whip
The octopus is such a beautiful and majestic creature... And it's taste in music is second to none!
The octopus is a beautiful and majestic creature! 6:48
Squidward tentacles was by our sides all along... he'll be Elden Lord yet...
Also you're welcome for the spear charge dodge
Helped me tremendously! Can't tell you how many times that attack fucked me up in the past. You should make guide videos or something 🤔
So this is what you needed it for. And happy to help!
Thank you so much my guy! Actual hero!
this isn't the run anyone asked for, but it's certainly the run we all needed
Edit: The octopus is a beautiful majestic creature

I just gotta say I appreciate you doing all remembrance bosses, I see a lot of people just simply try to beat the game
Love your videos JK Leeds! What's the most fun you've had in a challenge run?
Maybe the old runs where I was beating the Elden Ring dungeons using only equipment found within? Loved fighting with weapons I would never normally use
@@JKLeedsThose were some cool videos, I'd love to try a similar run some time! Keep up the amazing content in 2024 my man!
Thanks for supporting the channel! 🙂
I got it on my first player 3 hours in and thought it was hilarious. I didn’t know it was so rare
But, can you beat it as a...muffler? 🤔

bit variants of the bubbles actually deal an immense amount of poise damage which is super neat

22:37 occult still improves the bleed (or poison) of weapons that already have it and is the recommended affinity for such weapons
Octopus is a foul tarnished
I want to note that the Urumi is actually an indian weapon, a kind of actual real-life whip sword. So that's neat!
i remember getting it when i was going through that caelid tunnel trying to nab the cross naginata early and i sucked so it took a couple tries
Octopus is a beautiful majestic creature, if you don't do it I'll send some real octopus to crawl up out of your toilet.
Actually this helmet was one reason for me to play the Elden Ring Reforged Mod, where you get a special currency, if you start a ng+ cycle right at the beginnning, that allows you to buy every item in the game.

YES! Octopus heads for life! Literally my first character I beat the game wearing it.
Snakes? BONELESS? Where do you live that you think this? I thought only Ireland was snake free.
back to back tentacle goodness for my consumption

Got the octopus helm right before Makar during my current playthrough, needless to say it hasnt left my characters head since then lmao
Well, that's certainly a more eye-catching title than " no armor whip only run"
Wish i could watch this vid,haven't played elden ring yet and don't want spoilers so rip 😭😭😭
The octopus is a beautiful, majestic creature. Do YOU have cool running L1s like that? Huh?
Favorite C-food? That's a weird question, but I suppose mine would be crab.

Man I wish I could do a bear cosplay in the game
I guess i have to get creative there
Octo-dad has been sent to elden ring
I wore this and the marionet chest piece on my pirate themed Rusted Anchor playthrough 🦜🏴☠️
This is one of my favorite helmets in the game. It was the first armor piece I obtained in my first playthrough of Elden Ring, so I am extremely surprised to hear that it is actually extremely rare. Cool to see you use such a silly looking headgear!!!!
Unpopular opinion: far from being a beautiful, majestic creature, the octopus is a majestically beautiful creature.
No lie, I saw this video just minutes after getting the Octopus Head drop for the first time. Impeccable timing.
Big Brother Google is watching you ;) XD
The octopus is such a beautiful majestic creature
7:47 hank: I don't feel so good Mister Leeds.
Poor Hank. We barely knew him
0:07
Me who got it my first play through with less than 15 Arcane: “It is?”
This video is great second only to your knife only run
I've wanted to find a build for whips to play, this one's good.
29:05 snakes have bones, though. A lot of them, actually.
I've always really liked the dual whip moveset, but whips in general have one fatal flaw that keeps me from using them much, the inability to backstab/critical. Sure I could carry another weapon to swap to for those moments, but often when I carry another weapon I have to keep swapping to, I end up just using said other weapon.
Now we need a chunky albinauric aka grey alien playthrough, you have their gear and weapons and all
That was fun.
Uh! Now that you've been an octopus, try being an ant. There's literally two items for that. Antspur Rapier and Ant's Skull Shield.
I wonder if you (general term) can even GET the rapier without weapons...

Good ol dual spanky. Was one of favorite builds.
Octopus is a tasty and delicious creature.
Praise the majestic and noble Octopus. Truly the pinnacle of life
After all these videos I don't know how you keep making up new puns. And good ones at that.
Octopus is a very cool and majestic creature!!! (I'm on the toilet right now and very scared)
The octopus is a beautiful and majestic creature.
You could also have used the lucerne because it's described as "beak-like", and octopusses have beaks.
The music choice for Malenia was perfection.
Love to see the octo run doing so well. Even against Rykard.
Fantastic ❤
the Banjo music just, fits
What is the name of the song? I definitely heard it somewhere...
@ssrsssrs9 not sure of the name but I'm 99% certain it's from Banjo Kazooie
It's the final boss music from Banjo Kazooie 🙂
They should add a whip that is the arm of the land octopus. Seriously missed opportunity
I didn't realise it was rare. I got in like an hour in, and wore it ever since. Cool as helmet
Could you have used Perfumes to emulate the octopus ink/lobster spit? The only ones I'd technically count would probably be the Poison or Acid Spraymists, but you could potentially argue Bloodboil Aromatic to emulate Jellyfish frenzy if you wanted. Great video!
The octopus is a respectable beautiful majestic creature, and this is the evidence, may the whipfire puns are always a treat I love these videos thank you Mr leeds
You had me hooked at "can you beat elden ring as"
I'm doing to same challenge except I'm calling it my kinky nun run. Lol. It's a bit harder than I'd think but I'll be playing with status attacks more.
The octopus is a beautiful majestic creature ong.
Octopus are a beautiful and majestic creature

I have "killed" Adula in her first location only once before because I was curious, so I used a hypermode build. Can confirm she is unkillable at that location and is scripted to fly away no matter what. She's only able to be killed the second time you fight her.
Wait, Hey! Reeds! You coulda used the Finger weapon and Nox Flowing weapons cuz they go tentaclish too!
The octopus is a beautiful majestic creature
All glory to the octopus
It was the very first armor drop I got because I went to the beach first in my first play through!
Octopus is a good and majestic creature

Happy tentacle month to the most beautiful and majestic creature; the octopus

I can confirm that Adula can't be killed before they fly off at Ranni's Rise.
should do a run where you can only level up with runes you get from the balloon puppets, call it ‘can you beat elden ring as a Nos addict’
Ok, I gotta come back to comment this.
