Watch the full run on my vod channel here: th-cam.com/video/_bmlQsPydXk/w-d-xo.html The music used is from Geoffrey day ( www.youtube.com/@GeoffPlaysGuitar/featured ) The first song is 'ludwig the holy blade doom version', the second is 'silver for monsters doom version', the third is 'Radagon (the final battle) doom version'
Given the hours and hours of raw footage for this challenge, I'm really impressed with how you managed to distil that down into a single 20 minute video with a great narrative overview throughout. Great job Bushy, thoroughly enjoyed this one!
The editing was really good, and I liked the extra shots of different areas and bosses. Those didn't need to be there, but they add flair to the video.
This man not only beat the entire game on all difficulties without dying, but compressed it all into a 21 minute video, congrats Bushy, you've really outdone yourself with this one
More like crazy machine of doom. That guy is nutz killing everything with bare hands, standing on his own hands, playing with butt cheeks, while his legs are playing his boss theme
Holy shit the strength this took- also, the pacing in the video editing on this was great- going from the montage of new games to the One. By. One. fights of NG+7 really had me on the edge of my seat
This almost felt like a mix between watching a challenge run and a movie. Absolutely loved the amount of effort that went into this video keep up the great work!
I'm glad you used the deaths poker, don't think people realize how op it is. Also having a weapon that inflicts fire damage like the blasphemous blade resets the cool down for freeze and allows you to chain proc it.
This is something I love seeing Because I honestly love seeing how different folks tackle NG+ runs. I also really appreciate how you explain your strategies and item choices. It helps me understand the game better and gives me something to help with my utterly casual strategies. Not to mention the editing, and the boss shredding; both of which are amazing.
I really appreciate how you put every item up on the screen and give a description. I’ve played this game a fair amount but I don’t remember everything.
you should do another challenge(easy): -- beat all souls games (consecutively) -- no deaths -- no armor -- no upgrading level -- no graces/ bonfires -- no damage taken -- no weapons -- no summons -- all bosses (all games) --blindfolded --(essentially no equipment of any sort)
I really love to see the progress of how you put more and more effort into these videos. The cinematic quality and overall viewer experience just gets better and better with each of these journeys you share with us.
Whoever edited this did an outstanding job. Really entertaining video and the editing was a huge part of that as well as bushy’s skill and charisma we’re all here for in the first place
I was watching you do this challenge live, and I was absolutely dying waiting for this video to be put up about it. It didn't disappoint. I seem to learn something new about different strats for the game every time I watch you. Caused me to go through the game with a new STR/FAI build for the Star Fists, combined with Frenzied Burst for Gideon just so I could test it out. Awesome work as always, Bushy. EDIT: On another note, I'm still surprised you didn't try doing Gino's strategy for DTS where he lures it out, kites it to the cliff with kukris, then stance breaks and plops him over the edge. I know you were possibly thinking of doing it, but I don't ever think you actually did.
This video is why I am now taking on this challenge on ng, not anywhere near good enough to do it this first run, much less to ng+7, though maybe one day. Great video.
Beautifully crafted video. The Tension towards the end really encapsulated the stress that you were feeling, actually had my palms sweating. I felt so much relief when you did it, it was insane. Subbed.
Love the longer videos but also really enjoyed how you really distilled this to the real highlights of the run! Plus we can always go watts the VOD for more content.
This is awesome, the build is dead solid with all that damage mitigation, you were extremly resistant ! Would you make a run with all different Ending through NG+ ? (with same rules)
That’s not really significantly more difficult than this, though? Correct me if I’m wrong, but it adds Sewer Mohg on one run for FF ending, Astel for Ranni ending, Fortissax for Godwyn ending. Normal ending obviously doesn’t change, perfect order you just need to talk to some NPCs at certain points and use an incantation, but no extra bosses, Dungeater ending you need to go into the sewer to let him out, then collect the seedbeds, but no extra bosses. So you only need to do NG+5, with one extra boss on each of 3 of those and some extra hassle for 2 others. Doesn’t seem like it’d be harder than this challenge.
@@MasterHyperionMC yeah for sure it will not be difficult, but it had more step to it. (and newrules can be added to spice it up) But its mostly for fun ...
@@thazhok8059 oh I’m not saying every challenge he does has to be more difficult than this now, but I feel like he wants challenges to be different, so a challenge that mostly just like a previous one, but kind of easier with a few fiddly bits, doesn’t seem worth the time it would take
@Master_Hyperion Well it was only an idea/concept proposition, i'm sorry. Look likes i must have tell it wrongly. Probably i make mistake while translating. It was not my intention to imply it in the next video and i apologies. I wouldn't think it would be a bad moment to say that and i should have wait another video to express this idea. I will not post things like this anymore, sorry again. Have a great day.
@@thazhok8059 shit man, I’m sorry, I didn’t mean to make you feel bad about your suggestion. I was overly critical of a random comment and I didn’t need to dismiss your idea at all, let alone how abrupt I was.
loved to see this more defensive build, most videos out there are about nuking bosses with a thousand buffs and 3 different hats, but i mostly dont want to die to them
@@thenerdlord8894 Most of them are actually passed their primes. Mohg and Melinia are examples of being in their prime. Godfrey too. Rennala was well past her prime, Ranni is in her prime, Astel Naturalborn is past it's prime, definitely Godrick and Godefroy, Lichdragon was basically dying already from Deathblight, Lanesaxx is actually doing well, and Placidusax was pretty much near his end.
Damn GG dude another banger video! For me personally when i hit NG+6 and 7 on my first charactee i had stopped at lvl 200 and was trying out some less meta more fun builds and just straight up 2 shot by everything with over 2100 health and heavy armor hahaha granted i wasnt wearing all the defensive items like this but still as soon as you hit Mountaintop its a nightmare. And since they scaling is % based Mohg and Malenia are stupidly high health and damage
Bro that’s fucking nuts, GG. I just got to NG7 on my main and that comment you made about 6-7 being vastly different I 100% agree, bosses that use to chunk my hp in 6 will now damn near outright kill me.
As someone who LOVES the entire series of Soulsborns and playing them all the freaking time, it never ceases to absolutely blow my mind how people are able to accomplish this. I'm good, but this is like "you were born to have this unique skill" kinda good, like a 3 year old who magically takes to piano and can play classical in no time. Bravo, bravo.
@@AlbertoRamosRuiz-qb6rs yeah look up Geoffrey Day or geoffplaysguitar. He makes metal covers of various game soundtracks. One of them in this vid is his Ludwig the holy blade cover, one is his cover of the radagon/elden beast track, and another is a cover of something from the Witcher games
That devotion is insane, you have my respect. I gotta say tho, I'm surprised you didn't try to make use of Fire's Deadly Sin for the Frost proc resets so you could burst down bosses quickly.
gros. I know my casual 250 hrs part of the game (finished NG with Dex Faith build, enjoyed NG+1 for a while, started a new sorcerer, now lvl 66), still struggling with the usual Revenants, Caelid Dogs or even Burial Watchdogs ... while you accomplish this .. flawless dance and seem to know every straw and stone on the map. impressive!
Only way I can think of to make this more hype and all encompassing would be to end the final run on the ideal elden ring ending to round out the entire game. Save Melina using frenzied flame, Purge frenzied flame using needle, Finish with ranni ending with alive Melina
Don't fall for Shabriri's lies. Burning the tree using the Frenzied Flame doesn't "save" Melina, it condemns her to an eternity of barely existing. She's a spirit, bodiless, unable to do anything by herself. Her sole purpose is to become the kindling that burns the Erdtree, denying her that is far more cruel than allowing her to sacrifice herself.
You're the elden ring challenge goat! I would really like to see Malenia mixed in with a lot more of these videos though. Seems half the time her fight isnt done and I think it would add to the wow factor of these challenges. Normal challenge runs without her almost seem too easy for you at this point haha
I am sorry, but the first song is just so good. Ludwig's theme is one of my favorite video game music ever and hearing it with drums just fulfilled my life. Thank you Bushy.

One part of me is amazed you did it first try, the other part is pissed you didn't die at like NG+7 Gideon just for the memes.
Amazing job!
So glad I'm not the only one!
lmao, real talk tho ng+7 gideon is actually a huge threat because he will stun lock you super easily
I died several time to ng+2 Gideon because of Law of Consequences eating 80% of my lifebar. Guy becomes a legit threat when he start one-shotting you.
This was such an insane challenge.. good job dude.

Props to the editor for managing to get all this content into 21 minutes
Bushy talks the entire video about his strategy and such, I'm pretty sure he edits it.
@@tarantulamadness6191 what’s your point? that would make bushy the editor who I am giving props to

The cinematic vibe on this one was incredible. Great job!
The informative and clear voiceover is what sets these videos a part from most other Elden Ring videos of this nature
Alright man, time to go outside and start a family
Beautifully crafted video. The Tension towards the end really encapsulated the stress that you were feeling, actually had my palms sweating. I felt so much relief when you did it, it was insane. Subbed.

Love how Morgott did absolutely no damage at 14:28😭😭
morgott is a weak soup boi, he really needs a buff
He had like 70-80% damage reduction
loved to see this more defensive build, most videos out there are about nuking bosses with a thousand buffs and 3 different hats, but i mostly dont want to die to them
You could ask him to challenge all main bosses in their primes and he'd probably do it.

Did this man really just turn his longest challange into his shortest video?
You don't know how glad I am you used that music in the intro, I've been listening to that on repeat and forgot the name of it.
Isn't that the song from Bloodborne? Ludwig the Holy Blade phase 2 I think?
@@pyxelist8007 it is, it's by GeoffPlaysGuitar.
Best dude ever
ng+ 7 is mad hard, wish i could revert or something
Okay but like, the metal Elden Ring music was absolutely sick. Makes the montaging amazing!
So was the metal Witcher 3 music.
Lelele lelelelele
Maybe I’m alone here, but I would have watched this even if it was 3 hours. And thanks for putting in some METAL!
Bro that’s fucking nuts, GG. I just got to NG7 on my main and that comment you made about 6-7 being vastly different I 100% agree, bosses that use to chunk my hp in 6 will now damn near outright kill me.
Every time I think you're gonna run out of ideas for this game, you come up with another
I like how he didn’t even take damage or die in the “fall off a cliff, reset” bit
5:25 That was intense
That's some dedication goddamn
