Considering an "Elden Ring as Miyazaki Intended" run where I'm RL1, can only use kick attacks, and can't wear any shoes. I'd rush Mohg, kill him... somehow, grab the dry leaf arts and only use the kick attacks. Iirc, only the sprinting and jumping heavies when using it with both hands, but also the charged heavy when using it with one
It would be awesome to see a literal “broken” build where you can only use weapons, armor and items that are physically broken (Fingerprint armor, scavenger’s curved sword, omen bairn), which could also make for a fun title of “Beating Elden Ring with a literal “BROKEN” build”
If you ever decide to suffer this run through the DLC, I suggest picking up the armour of Night. Does it have "ring" in the name? No Is it made from rings? No Is there anything even remotely ring-shaped about it? No BUT: If you look at it for but a moment, you will realize it truly befits a lord of rings.
There are few things as satisfying as watching someone who you enjoy watching play other games, play elden ring, and then proceed to get their shit kicked in at every opportunity. I'm looking forward to seeing more of this should you decide to make them, Elden Ring is fun to watch and even more fun to play
I would absolutely love to see you do the DLC with this challenge. I would also personally argue that other armors with chainmail as part of them or that depict rings would be okay to use.
you've probably learned this after that rough experience, but if an enemy does a running at you attack, it's safer to roll straight through it and pretend it's not there than to roll away from it repeatedly, fuckin amazing challenge though, loved how your warhammer slipped through when you said you reached "rank 89" lol
Malenia is definitely my favourite boss - the way shes more humanoid and similar size to the tarnished, and her one handing a katana makes it feel like a real duel and I love it.
15:30 for you and any newer player, never ever no matter what ever dodge backwards from a thrust attack. Guaranteed death. Always forward or to the side (depending)
@@SohighShyloh I scrolled through the contents to see if someone else said it! It’s been bugging me the rest of the video knowing he is making it harder on himself 🤣
First video of yours I’ve come across (was searching for challenge runs) and I notice most of your content is focused on a single game, so it’s cool that youre diversifying!
I really like this video. I like Elden ring and watching you play this challenge was really fun! No reall challenge ideas from me but I’d love to see some more when you want to make them!
If you go for the DLC, theres the weapon Thiollier's Hidden Needle. It is arguably the most fitting weapon for this challenge since it is really a ring. Quite the OP moveset as well.
Why, why, WHY I cannot find a single comment about the fact this man spent time to implement one of the best memes ever in video format while being actually fun and not cringe af? "Life is unjust, like a bwegretoi, Zanzibart" >Pats brain
If you do another challenge run later I recommend the twiggy cracked tear. It is hiding at the bossless minor erdtree at altus in the same area as the three golems on the way to draconic tree sentinel. It lets you die without losing the runes on you and not on you. Really op
No rush. Your channel..... BUT I would absolutely love a legit play through of total war. Your content is so engaging and funny. I know that campaign would be hilarious.
the only thing that they could done whit malenia, since she is blind, is if you use the talisman that dont let you make a sound she could be lost and attacking blindly or only attacking if you touch her in some manner. That could be lore friendly and maybe quite intresting thing to have in the game
This is suitably hilarious, well done. If you're taking suggestions... Warhammer as a crazy cat lady, ie, the giant lion statue units only. Probably not super difficult, but funny nonetheless.
i totally agree with you for malenia, one of my favorite boss period , imo it's a good thing they gave her heath regen , otherwise many would complain on how she is one of the easiest boss late game, i like to parry here
next challenge: beat Dark Souls using only the dark! it's easier to do that on DS2, given you can meet a merchant that sells hexes quite easily, just gotta make a boss fall into its death, level up some intelligence and faith, pay a scammer to open a gate (you could also make her fall into her death, but that would involve punching), and that's it
one of my favorite builds to use is the snow witch build. only snow sorceries, snow witch robes, and lots of pain. range: not nearly as much as other, potential sorceries. damage output: same. but goddamn, is the drip worth it
*Complains about Godskin duo arena having pillars that mush camera against your face, asking for flat arena that doesn't interfere with camera* *Complains about Radagon's arena being flat and not having terrain that interferes with the camera* I like the video, very enjoyable, but just felt like pointing that out. (Also, yes, I too hate it when im fighting the camera more than im fighting the boss)
Thought at first you were calling talismans "rings" as that's what they are in the Dark Souls games and thought "that doesn't sound right for Elden Ring". Completely different challenge idea than what I was thinking but I'm not complaining, haha
If you want to do a theme build, may i recommend doing a dragon themed playthrough? You get an amazing seal for it at the very beginning of the game, and can do absolutely insane damage with the dragon communion spells (albeit the breath attacks can be a tad bit mana inefficient). Also there are the dragon cult incantations, which is basically everything lightning based. Only problem is can see is that dragon themed armours tend to be lategame stuff, and i dont know if you can get any of the dragon themed weapons without fighting (you may be able to get lightning strike if the scarab that holds it is close enough to a cliff, not sure). The dlc also has some cool as hell stuff for dragon themed spells, with the rock heart and priestess heart literally turning you into a dragon and buffing dragon communion and dragon cult spells respectively.
Wait, just realized that technically the communion seal counts as a dragon weapon, so you can just punch things with it until you get the appropriate spells/weapons Also you dont need to get your hands dirty with killing the guy that has the seal, you can have him get run over fairly reliably
I'm surprised you didn't count flails. The early game ones are a head and handle connected by a chain made up of rings. Besides the nightrider one has heads so comically large heads it sorta looks like the classic ball and chain hazards from the sonic levels
The ring incantations are so good, beat the whole game with them as Goldmask. Discus does a shocking amount of damage for only 3 fp, Radagon’s Rings obliterated Malenia for me, the new Repeating Ring is also so good against big targets.
Important to note, the moment you reached Altus you can trigger Corhyn to move there and tell him where the goldmask is, where he will sell discus of light immediately, I did this for my own ring run.
Can you beat elden ring using only fingers ? dual wield ringed finger metyr remembrance weapon , altered finger robe , vyke helmet , possibly finger shield and that one finger incantation
good run man if you liked malenia you might like sekiro that game has i think hands down the best fight in all of the souls games its only available in one ending but holy hell is it good
Minor correction - at 10:52 I upgraded the Ringed Finger to +6, not +7. Also, don't forget to try Asphalt Legends Unite! gmlft.co/brilliantstupidity

Next challege: beat elden ring with only arrows
Someone forgot the halo scythe, for what is a halo if not a holy ring
Next Challenge: can you beat it using only the elderly?
Momma Brilliant reveal?
Only noble spirit summons
I just watched a vile meme comp
The only way i can see this is as a sexual innuendo 😭😭
*can you only beat up the elderly
Challenge after, beating the elserly with only rings
It would be awesome to see a literal “broken” build where you can only use weapons, armor and items that are physically broken (Fingerprint armor, scavenger’s curved sword, omen bairn), which could also make for a fun title of “Beating Elden Ring with a literal “BROKEN” build”
I dont think scavengers curved sword is broken its just serrated
@@Ashnoreen Warped axe it is then
@@bynumboggs4103 godfrey's axe has a broken head too
If you ever decide to suffer this run through the DLC, I suggest picking up the armour of Night.
Does it have "ring" in the name? No
Is it made from rings? No
Is there anything even remotely ring-shaped about it? No
BUT: If you look at it for but a moment, you will realize it truly befits a lord of rings.
This would be the Sauron set, methinks.
@@Xysterr1 Yes, and Sauron, being the one responsible for the Rings of Power, is in fact the Lord of Rings.
@@mimictear6788He is, in fact, the lord of the rings.
and possibly the ring blades
@@apocolototh1948One ring to rule them all, one ring to find them, one ring to bring the all, and in the darkness bind them.
10:30 Well of course that would be none other than Hidetaka Miyazaki himself
Thought that was common knowledge lol bro is the only consistent variable with feet being in every game

I never expected an elden ring video
BABY'S FIRST MELANIA! Unironically im soo proud of you
Can you beat warhammer only using... warhammers?
Actually might be a fun one lol. Can't think of any faction other than the Dwarfs who have dedicated warhammers, though.
@@BrilliantStupidity Nurgle barbarians i guess
@@BrilliantStupidity Maybe Kholek? He has a hammer, at least a few of his units also have hammers.
@@Daedalus-Inc Nurgle chaos warriors and their variants have warhammers!
Karl Franz only campaign when ?
Sauron's been awful quiet since this dropped.
Nice branch out dude. Your humour and antics works for this type of gameplay/content too, so well done!
miyazaki himself would be the only one to make sellen the most beautiful NPC, cover her face on stone, and leave her feet exposed
...and this was only the beginning.
Don't complete her quest.
Dude, your commentary is off the charts! Seriously the most entertaining Elden ring challenge run I've seen in quite a while!!
I would absolutely love to see you do the DLC with this challenge. I would also personally argue that other armors with chainmail as part of them or that depict rings would be okay to use.
it is amazing to see someone actually smash his head against a wall and learn the movesets instead of cheesing the bosses, great job!
25:46 To be fair, if he had sheathed his sword anime style, the top half of the column would've slid to the ground
The „tilt astronomical” bit was a cool visual gag. Production value going off the chart here, good job
Gotta be one of the funnier and more creative challenge runs of elden ring I’ve seen. Great work mate

I'm never gonna get tired of people coming up with fun ideas for this game. It has a lot of space for creativity and it's awesome.
"somebody on the dev team has a thing for feet"
yeah, we know, it's Miyazaki
Entertaining as always. Glad to see you bring your humour to another game
I really loved this video, I hope to see more Elden Ring content from you in the future!
Elden Ring videos? I am SO here for it :3
Malenia is definitely my favourite boss - the way shes more humanoid and similar size to the tarnished, and her one handing a katana makes it feel like a real duel and I love it.
She is twice the size of the Tarnished tho

I appreciate that you modelled your character on your real life self Brilliant
Yes, I like this, your style is enhanced by Elden Ring's inherently chaotic nature. Brilliant is evolving and becoming his best version
Fair warning, the law and order sound is copyrighted, and they'll claim it if they notice
Wait what? Damn, that’s at least a thousand videos.
It falls under fair use, they can't actually do shit from a legal standpoint. But they can still have TH-cam strike the video
@@splitzyprime419 yeah they've done it to channels before, and with TH-cams strike limit it can really suck.
By all means draw attention it.
@splitzyprime419 it actually isn't fair use. Read the laws about it this usage doesn't fall under fair use

I cant believe your character was present at the opening of the Olympics. You really made it big.
2:50 it's auch a blessing for this run, that the stees whistle is actually a ring (bequeathed ring)
There's actually another Cirque type weapon, it's in one of the forges, the other being the curseblade you showed at the start
most of the tabards, the stuff that's cloth over mail, uses ringmail for its base, if you wanted to to fashion.
6:45 - Spotted you getting parried by Moongrum, there's no use hiding it :^)
Oh.... yeah.... that definitely was the only time that happened.
If you do another challenge run later I recommend the twiggy cracked tear. It is hiding at the bossless minor erdtree at altus in the same area as the three golems on the way to draconic tree sentinel.
It lets you die without losing the runes on you and not on you. Really op
16:45 😭😭 office space ahh moment- i am crynnnn

in love with the castle crashers for the background music
22:04 the other Godskin just walking off like ,, hmmmmm waht an interisting stone over there "

God the Furi soundtrack is so wildly good
wellcome back my friend
5 hours for malenia is very good. Took me way longer. Glad to see I wasn't the only one with brainlag to realize when she is doing her waterfall dance
7:33 Age of War Soundtrack in the backround ❤
I was about to say the same thing 🥰
Good old glorious morning
That age of war music gives makes me an overdose on nostalgia
The Age of War theme is so hype man
The RuneScape music in the background 🫶🏼🤌🏼
“My last two brain cells fighting for third place” after getting to ng+7 i felt that😂

Absolutely you should go on and beat up the Shadow Lands with Rings Only.
So, Miquella build. Kewl.
Speaking of Rings: real Sonic build when? Rolling build, but with Spinning stuff like Lion's Claw variations. And Ram aow.
Ah the Age of War music. Absolute masterpiece

Yooo since Elden Ring was your first souls borne you need to play the rest and i would recommend starting from DS 1
To be fair I think the fingercreepers following you were just very jealous of all your cool rings
Please make a Campaign with the Woodelfes, where you only use animals (no riders, exept the heroe, where i would use the sisters)
