@@DoomWolfOfficial "WHY? Why is she *STANDING* there? _This is who killed ALL of the shardbearers and burned the Erdtree?_ A woman with broken legs and the inability to speak words?"
You know you're messed up when you watch this and think "god that looks like so much fun..." Amazing run my guy! Probably the most entertaining Elden Ring challenge I've seen yet. You make some great videos but this one really knocked it out of the park. Keep it up!
The boss fights were so much fun to figure out, the back stepping across the world part though...no so much lol Thanks! I love your content so this is huge compliment to me, looking forward to your Briar armor run :)
quick tip for your future runs: you don't actually have to get past the birds to get to godrick. the elevator at the liftside grace is usable right away. also, rushing rennala when she is preparing her laser makes it wiff if you are close to her (quickstep should be fast enough)
for future reference, Inescapable Frenzies damage is based on the critical multiplier of your other weapon, so it was using you shield for damage, so if you had your dagger equipped it would have instantly killed Gideon
the wiki says it uses the weapon in the right hand, so I don't think the shield matters because it was in my left hand, but puttng that shield away would have removed the buff. Having the seal in the right hand didn't help though lol, something i'll keep in mind if there is ever an instance I have to use it on him again, but having done this an madness only, i'm not sure
I've heard someone claim this was patched, and now the spell correctly uses the crit mulitplier of the seal used to cast it (so 100 no matter what) Haven't tested it myself though. I'm not sure if dagger talisman works either
Congrats on finishin the run! I wouldn't dream of doing this in 50 years (Guess I might do it when I'm 70), your patience is honestly off the charts. Have a great day!
Oh man an hour long video from you is such a treat! Thanks so much for putting yourself through this for us, this is one of my favourite Elden Ring videos ever. I really loved the strategy parts for the more difficult bosses, and it was funny as usual! Keep up the good work man, you're bound to blow up since your content is so great
Thanks, it was fun narrating the fights. normally I don't have to do that but because of this restriction I actually had to treat the fights closer to puzzles haha
Gotta say this is probably the most entertaining Elden Ring challenge run video I've seen. The way you used completely different strats and prepped for every boss was so much more enjoyable to watch then the kinda challenge run where they just pick up Flame of the Redmanes and cheese the whole game with it irregardless of the run
You are hilarious, I have laughed out loud at least 5 times and puffed air through my nostrils at least another 20. This is amazing content and I’m glad I stumbled onto it. Like the methods are crazy intelligent and really well explained it’s an amazing combination of humor and a good thought process.
I didn't expect you to go THAT stern with the challenge. Thought you'd turn at the very least, not forbid yourself a whole stick (for 99.999% of the run, but perfectionism is overrated). Hardcore. 6:28 AND HOLY SHIT! That dedication! One monstrous, beautifully calculated run. Appreciate ya.
Thanks my friend, glad you enjoyed it :) normally I don't include the full fights because ya know, sure even if the fights hard it's expected that the runner will win, but in this case I made an exception because I had to really think and pay attention haha
I did a very similar run to this a few months ago - with Torrent and spirit summons allowed but non-mandatory ladders banned. Great to see the concept as a proper TH-cam video. Very different strategy as well - I went high intelligence and abused Comet Azur while using spirit summons as meat shields, and you stayed focused on melee.
Bro I have mad respect for you for even attempting such a run, let alone finishing it. So thanks for all the effort you put in both in terms of gameplay and the edits. I normally get a bit bored while watching challenge runs but I really enjoy watching your videos mate, you and Bushy are my favorite in that regard. Hope to see you in another run :D
Thanks my friend :) the run was both painful, but enjoyable. It's been a while since any run has actually been challenging and I was so happy to have figured out the bosses I just wanted to share haha
You, my good sir, have ascended above all mankind this video is proof of that. great strategies and happy that you were able to complete a run this difficult
The quality of your videos has gone up a ton. I love your videos. Can't wait to see what torture ... uh I mean challenge ... you come up with for the next video.
Ive been watching your videos back to back recently and this right here is the video that made me subscribe. Jesus Christ, man what the fuck was this run. You're insane. Amazing shit
great video as always! You are probably my favorite elden ring youtube, extremely underrated! Although it would be nice if there was some quiet background music
Wow I would never have the skill to do this. This is honestly one of those challenge runs that's so unique I'd probably have been willing to watch the whole thing, or at least a long form video.
3:32 - Question: Why do you move the 'l' in the word 'Cavalry' when you say it? I don't fully care or anything, just noticed it, got curious. Now I'm asking. God I have nothing to do today...
Samurai would have worked just as well, starts with a bow then just get a knife from Round table hold / quickstep AoW from Bernahl. the buckler is after Margit, but other shields can parry too but agreed, Bandit was perfect
Dude I've thought about people doing this challenge no joke and thought "nobody would ever have the patience to do that" .. well, sir, you are a legend hah
I'm not sure if you take suggestions but I'll toss one out there. Have you considered ash of war runs? Beating the game using only an ash of war? If so may I recommend "Golden Land". Might make for an interesting challenge. If you know what golden land is and how it works I guess go ahead and skip the rest of this, if not (or you just want a little more insight on it) then here we go. Golden Land: is a skill that consists of 4 parts the first 3 happen on the first button press. 1: slam the weapon into the ground. 2: unleash a holy explosion. 3: and then fire off a series of holy beams This part costs 16fp, the 4th hit which requires a heavy attack input will cause you to lunge into a broad forward sweeping attack for an additional 5fp making the whole skill cost 21fp altogether minus the carian filligreed talisman (I unfortunately forgot to check the cost with it). That's the basic layout for it time for some nuances. The 1st and 4th hit deal physical damage which helps against holy resistant enemies because the 2nd and 3rd deal exclusively holy damage, the whole thing deals great poise damage but the final hit especially does. Now the best thing about this skill and what I'd call its bread-n-butter is those beams on the third attack, they not only deal pretty good damage but they have *REALLY LONG* range, pretty much equal to your maximum natural lock-on range and maybe even a little further. This allows the skill to be used at very long range, yeah it's just the 3rd part of it hitting, but on the right build those beams deal good damage on their own. Other nuances the beams possess tracking but only on their point of origin, they won't curve towards. The beams will only track if you lock-on *before* engaging the skill, if you engage then lock-on the beams will just shoot everywhere which also means that you can't free aim from a greater distance, without a pre established lock they won't target anything. Lastly if you engage while locked then switch target the beams will still hit the first enemy while you use the follow-up sweep on another. Now how to get it. The golden land ash of war is found near the beginning of deep root depths on a teardrop scarab... Not ideal, but, there is another way. The stonedigger troll boss in the old altus tunnel on the altus plateau drops the great club which has golden land on it, the room is full of exploding barrels, if you use fire arrows you can blow it up and make the joke that you didn't kill it the barrels did lol cause you seems pretty dedicated to staying within your own guidelines. Anyway the club has no faith scaling so the only real way to boost damage is by upgrading the weapon itself, recommended to acquire the ash version to better control the scaling on a different preferably longer weapon (for the sweep attack). Sorry this was so long, hope the information helps not just you doom but anyone else who read all the way through this.
I have technically done a ash of war only run, when I did the Dovahkiin video I only used shouts from Ashes of War (funnily enough It didn't occur to me until after someone else mentioned it lol) Anyway, thanks for the suggestion! I do like using obscure items to beat the game, so maybe I will :)
@@DoomWolfOfficial agreed, but credit for sticking it out, and not only inishing, but at his amount. i was applauding when you dropped elden beast and cheered harder when you dropped the Blade of Miquella.
Hi very nice video a tip for Mohg when he does the rain of blood (or any blood attack) you can parry it with carian retaliation it makes the fight really easier and for Gideon there is a cheese that Gino does. He enters the arena with assassin's gambit, goes to the left side of it and throw poison and rot pots at him (you don't need rot pot it's just to go faster) and that's it Gideon does not aggro at all just staying here in the poison wondering what's happening XD
Oh thanks for the tip about Mohg! I actually watched a video recently about stealth in ER and yeah, some bosses have that neat little ...mechanic, for stealth lol
Thanks, the worst part was traversing the open world believe it or not. I mean the bosses were hard too but those boiled down to proper stamina and FP management haha
I don't think anyone will see this, but, Doom Wolf you are my absolute favorite Elden Ring youtuber, you are so frickin fun to watch compared to pretty much everyone else.
the thing about Varre's quest is, you don't have to win OR lose, just invade someone then use the finger severer, do that until you've invaded 3 times and you can progress
@@DoomWolfOfficial there is a new npc (that one that uses the star colossal weapon thing that heals you per-hit), you can die to him 3 times and go to varre. Edit: i believe it got added in 1.6/1.7, my brain is still fried so i don't remember
great job dude! if i tried to do this run i woulda taken a sledgehammer to my console before even getting to margit. on the upside i guess you get to "appreciate" the scenery a lot more 😂
lmao there were a couple times early on where I felt like that, but by the end I felt a little more...calm, almost like I reached a place of zen during the run lol
30:30 Inescapable Frenzies damage is actually based on the physical and critical stat on whatever weapon you have equipped on your right hand. Not talisman or faith level. Also the weapon needs to have a reposte animation or the damage won’t be calculated so bows, whips, talismans and staff would do nothing for you if you used it. If you had the dagger on your right hand when you used it you would have one shot him even without the jellyfish buff.
@@DoomWolfOfficial well if you ever decide to do a “Ghost Rider” run now you know. I tried making a cosplay for it in with the giants whip and rose whip but didn’t realize it hindered me when I used the move to mimic Penance Stare. Now I switch to spike fist with endure to land the hit in duels if I decide to use it.
Probably in the far future, ymfah is going to release a video on how to beat Elden Ring without moving and is going to introduce us the most insane, mind gobbling, unreal glitch to skip that singular, required ladder
0:24 Really, really, REALLY late response, but I tested something out, and if you do a backstep, and then immediately begin rolling, there's not a single frame where you're walking.
Yeah there were a couple of buffered inputs that could work, like I think charging an attack then holding the stick to aim it the character in a different direction. Either way they kinda feel slightly untrue to the run, at least in my opinion lol
One of few challenges I missed from ER community. No wonder why, as it is pure madness Few notes/observations 10:11 That is actually what I wrote after meeting an Abductor Virgin at Ray Lucaria, when doing Mirror Knight cosplay. Weapon is great on its own. 26:05 This situation I met and it seems, that Status effect triggered on falling body will not affect Duo's Healthbar. Also, they are teamed up, what begs for Ancient Dragon Lightning Strike :) 29:00 Are you sure it is holy? Some may say its magic, but holy makes more sense 32:00 Unintenionally great weapon choice, as he becomes weak to Slash and Magic in 2nd phase 45:58 Well, all dragons (even nondragon Dragonlord Placidusax) has low Pierce Resistance. Here I would consider using Gravity Bolt, as it deals high damage. 49:20 One time I saw someone getting rid of those 2 ballistas with Elden Stars. One of the instances when this spell proved useful. Malenia - proc Frostbite, but no Fire after. Frostbite gives 20% more damage, what is a lot.
Thanks for all the notes my friend! Malenia taking extra damage from frostbite is helpful, but the 2% max HP burn from black flame blade is more helpful lol, _and_ if she decided to do a second waterfowl if the frost bite was still on it wouldn't work (though in this run that wouldn't matter as it's necessary for phantom clones so)
I learn. So much from you in these boss fights. Example being the holy attack charge up swing for radagon And the fact you can jump over the claw beast waves .__.
As soon as you said she seemed just out of range and then went "I remembered there was a secret weapon" I immediately went "NAGAKIBA" I only guessed this because I'm using the Nagakiba as one of my weapons in my current playthrough though, lmao
You can skip the draconic tree sentinel but going through a trapped chest in the weeping peninsula. It takes you to the divine bridge and you can go down the elevator. There's another fun glitch to get in early when the elevator is disabled with the exploding physic
lol saw that ladder coming, ymfah ds3 no walk run flashbacks right there. Unfortunately I don't think a way to get past that section has been discovered yet. Maybe one day a Glitch will be found, anyways Fantastic video, I enjoyed your suffering.
@DoomWolfOfficial yeah, probably would require a $1000 bounty like last time (at least I think that was the price). I'm trying to do a SL1 "fists only" challenge with the Caestus rn, but I'm thinking of a way to do phase 2 SL1 without serpent hunter. Phase 1 I can go for the snake head after bite attacks, but in Phase 2 there is no way to hit him. I guess I'll try using hp regen and fire res to get him to 1/2 hp so that he starts using the bite attacks again but I'm not there yet to test
@DoomWolfOfficial seems like ymfah found a way after all. Seems to use moveset swapping to jump the gap straight to the colossuem based off of the teaser.
No weapon upgrades, no spirit upgrades, all bosses run. I want you to do a truly high level run and this seems like it would be a decent test of your patience.
No weapon upgrades can probably be nullified by status effects, no spirit upgrades is easy as that's most of my runs anyway lol, and all bosses...as in all 168? that's a lot but doable, could be fun though! Just to try my hand at weaker weapons!

I challenge you do do a "Bitch-slap" run.
Rules:
You can only use attacks that resemble the act of bitch-slapping
Disc of light and its triple version are the star of the show.
fists, buffs, powerups and drinks are also allowed. we are here for the lulz, not to see you suffer.
Feel free to use any other AoW/spel/incant that resebles a bitchslap
You could dodge the earth shatter attack by dodging away and not being right by him
So what you're telling me is....this wasn't a *walk* in the park? *insert 90's sitcom laugh track here*
*waits for laughter to stop*
Oh youu!
*More laughter that leads into the theme song*
Wait doom wolf how I'd this video uploaded later than this comment what different time zones
@@deadlybeever6667 the video was unlisted so Patreons could see it first lol
Is it bad that I remember that sound effect perfectly? I read that and my brain just pulled up "90's-laugh-track.mp3" without a hitch.
Hahahaha
As a wheelchair-bound man, I am very thankful to you for making a run that is accessible to me!
No problem my friend haha
"Making a run" Dunno why I died reading that
Making a roll🤔
@@douwehuysmans5959 My dream is to be in a group with other people with wheelchairs and yelling. "Autobots roll out!"
Ladder
I love how the elden beast fight was essentially you just standing there MENACINGLY until he decides to approach then you dash and slice like a madman
I like to picture Radagon and Elden Beast slowly lose their mind wondering why I didn't move lol
@@DoomWolfOfficial "WHY? Why is she *STANDING* there? _This is who killed ALL of the shardbearers and burned the Erdtree?_ A woman with broken legs and the inability to speak words?"
The whole Malenia fight is so hypnotizing. Every action looks like a finely choreographed dance. Doom for this run alone you are a beast.
Thanks my friend, it was a fun fight! Glad you enjoyed it :)
You know you're messed up when you watch this and think "god that looks like so much fun..."
Amazing run my guy! Probably the most entertaining Elden Ring challenge I've seen yet. You make some great videos but this one really knocked it out of the park. Keep it up!
Don't get any ideas hahaha
The boss fights were so much fun to figure out, the back stepping across the world part though...no so much lol
Thanks! I love your content so this is huge compliment to me, looking forward to your Briar armor run :)
You could have summoned a friend to climb the ladder and pull the lever
He cant run tho
quick tip for your future runs: you don't actually have to get past the birds to get to godrick. the elevator at the liftside grace is usable right away. also, rushing rennala when she is preparing her laser makes it wiff if you are close to her (quickstep should be fast enough)
I always rush Rennala, I didn't actually test quick step this time though lol
Okay, THIS is the type of quality entertainment I can get behind, well done!
Thanks, glad you enjoyed it :)
Every boss is like : HES JUST STANDING THERE..MENACINGLY!!
I like to imagine the absolute despair the bosses felt when I did nothing but just stand there lol
for future reference, Inescapable Frenzies damage is based on the critical multiplier of your other weapon, so it was using you shield for damage, so if you had your dagger equipped it would have instantly killed Gideon
the wiki says it uses the weapon in the right hand, so I don't think the shield matters because it was in my left hand, but puttng that shield away would have removed the buff.

I've heard someone claim this was patched, and now the spell correctly uses the crit mulitplier of the seal used to cast it (so 100 no matter what)
Haven't tested it myself though. I'm not sure if dagger talisman works either
@@lovofofo no it's not patched it's meant to scale off your weapons crit misrecord one shots most human enemies with it
Congrats on finishin the run! I wouldn't dream of doing this in 50 years (Guess I might do it when I'm 70), your patience is honestly off the charts. Have a great day!
Thanks, I don't recommend anyone do this run, but if they have to, the boss fights were a lot of fun to figure out :P
This was a treat to watch. I thoroughly enjoyed ymfah's video about no-walking ds3, and you did an amazing job succeeding that video

hats off, good sir, awesome video!!
There is a reason why no one does them :P thanks glad you enjoyed it lol
When you explained why it was your second Godrick attempt, I immediately liked and subbed
Lol thanks my friend, the pain was great, but it was worth it
Instant sub and mad respect for this challenge run! My mind is blown right now
Thanks, glad you enjoyed it :)
32:08 The “earth shatter attack” is dodgeable, you just have to wait a little longer on the last dodge
That's fair, while watching back the footage I noticed I was way early lol
Fire Giant: Oh oh are you approaching me?
Doom Kujolf: I can't beat the shit out of you without getting closer.
that's how I felt about pretty much any fight in this run lol

Holy fuck this is so well made, the way you handled these boss fights is really cool. great video
thanks, I'm glad you enjoyed it :) I really liked figuring out the boss fights, it was a lot of fun!
I thought you would go for a mage build so you wouldn’t have to move around as much and could let summons draw agro
I probably should have, would have made this easier lol
@@DoomWolfOfficial good on you though going the harder route
Gotta say I loved the longer gameplay breakdown of Elden Beast. That was epic!
Thanks, I don't usually do that because it's expected that the runner just wins, but I felt like in this run they deserved special attention!
this is so interesting! glad you sat through it
i never sat through milenia and elden beast fight like this on the edge of my seat! well played!!!

It

You're incredibly lucky that bandit starts with both Quickstep and a bow. They made the class for this run!

the buckler is after Margit, but other shields can parry too
but agreed, Bandit was perfect
Amazing run bro!

hmmm this looks familiar. Great job

I'm not sure if you take suggestions but I'll toss one out there.
Have you considered ash of war runs? Beating the game using only an ash of war?
If so may I recommend "Golden Land". Might make for an interesting challenge.
If you know what golden land is and how it works I guess go ahead and skip the rest of this, if not (or you just want a little more insight on it) then here we go.
Golden Land: is a skill that consists of 4 parts the first 3 happen on the first button press.
1: slam the weapon into the ground.
2: unleash a holy explosion.
3: and then fire off a series of holy beams
This part costs 16fp, the 4th hit which requires a heavy attack input will cause you to lunge into a broad forward sweeping attack for an additional 5fp making the whole skill cost 21fp altogether minus the carian filligreed talisman (I unfortunately forgot to check the cost with it). That's the basic layout for it time for some nuances.
The 1st and 4th hit deal physical damage which helps against holy resistant enemies because the 2nd and 3rd deal exclusively holy damage, the whole thing deals great poise damage but the final hit especially does.
Now the best thing about this skill and what I'd call its bread-n-butter is those beams on the third attack, they not only deal pretty good damage but they have *REALLY LONG* range, pretty much equal to your maximum natural lock-on range and maybe even a little further. This allows the skill to be used at very long range, yeah it's just the 3rd part of it hitting, but on the right build those beams deal good damage on their own.
Other nuances the beams possess tracking but only on their point of origin, they won't curve towards.
The beams will only track if you lock-on *before* engaging the skill, if you engage then lock-on the beams will just shoot everywhere which also means that you can't free aim from a greater distance, without a pre established lock they won't target anything.
Lastly if you engage while locked then switch target the beams will still hit the first enemy while you use the follow-up sweep on another.
Now how to get it.
The golden land ash of war is found near the beginning of deep root depths on a teardrop scarab... Not ideal, but, there is another way. The stonedigger troll boss in the old altus tunnel on the altus plateau drops the great club which has golden land on it, the room is full of exploding barrels, if you use fire arrows you can blow it up and make the joke that you didn't kill it the barrels did lol cause you seems pretty dedicated to staying within your own guidelines. Anyway the club has no faith scaling so the only real way to boost damage is by upgrading the weapon itself, recommended to acquire the ash version to better control the scaling on a different preferably longer weapon (for the sweep attack).
Sorry this was so long, hope the information helps not just you doom but anyone else who read all the way through this.
I have technically done a ash of war only run, when I did the Dovahkiin video I only used shouts from Ashes of War (funnily enough It didn't occur to me until after someone else mentioned it lol)
Anyway, thanks for the suggestion! I do like using obscure items to beat the game, so maybe I will :)
dude this video was awesome, thank you
Glad you enjoyed it my friend :)
The fact that you thought about and then accomplished the run is legendary.
Thank, it was a fun one lol
I like how you said "I earned this or that". because you actually did imo. you EARNED some rest after doing this insane challenge bro
lol for once I do feel like I earned it, thanks :)
... im speechless! this goes among some of the hardest challenges ive ever witnessed!
Thanks, it was definitely the most difficult one I've done haha
@@DoomWolfOfficial agreed, but credit for sticking it out, and not only inishing, but at his amount. i was applauding when you dropped elden beast and cheered harder when you dropped the Blade of Miquella.
Hi very nice video a tip for Mohg when he does the rain of blood (or any blood attack) you can parry it with carian retaliation it makes the fight really easier and for Gideon there is a cheese that Gino does. He enters the arena with assassin's gambit, goes to the left side of it and throw poison and rot pots at him (you don't need rot pot it's just to go faster) and that's it Gideon does not aggro at all just staying here in the poison wondering what's happening XD
Oh thanks for the tip about Mohg! I actually watched a video recently about stealth in ER and yeah, some bosses have that neat little ...mechanic, for stealth lol
This looks like absolute suffering, props to you for completing it!
Thanks, the worst part was traversing the open world believe it or not. I mean the bosses were hard too but those boiled down to proper stamina and FP management haha
I don't think anyone will see this, but,
Doom Wolf you are my absolute favorite Elden Ring youtuber, you are so frickin fun to watch compared to pretty much everyone else.
Thank you my friend, I'm glad you enjoy the videos and I'm glad I can make you laugh :)
the thing about Varre's quest is, you don't have to win OR lose, just invade someone then use the finger severer, do that until you've invaded 3 times and you can progress
I knew that would work with players, does it also work with the NPC? I'll have to try if I ever need to get to Mohg early again haha
@@DoomWolfOfficial there is a new npc (that one that uses the star colossal weapon thing that heals you per-hit), you can die to him 3 times and go to varre.
Edit: i believe it got added in 1.6/1.7, my brain is still fried so i don't remember
@@whyareyouhere6274 yeah, that's what I did in the video my friend :)
@@DoomWolfOfficial shit, uh, ignore the comment i'll watch the video now excuse me
great job dude! if i tried to do this run i woulda taken a sledgehammer to my console before even getting to margit. on the upside i guess you get to "appreciate" the scenery a lot more 😂
lmao there were a couple times early on where I felt like that, but by the end I felt a little more...calm, almost like I reached a place of zen during the run lol
Great challenge run and super well narrated. Cheers and respect from Germany 🎶✌
Thanks, glad you enjoyed it :)
Using the Butt Stomp to platform is both hilarious _and_ a genius workaround.
It sure is a fun way to travel lol
Ah. The age-old question we have all been asking ourselves. Thanks for solving the mystery
always happy to throw myself to the fire for the benefit of others knowledge my friend!
Love your vidd is looking forward to this one!!
I hope you enjoyed it :)
30:30 Inescapable Frenzies damage is actually based on the physical and critical stat on whatever weapon you have equipped on your right hand. Not talisman or faith level. Also the weapon needs to have a reposte animation or the damage won’t be calculated so bows, whips, talismans and staff would do nothing for you if you used it. If you had the dagger on your right hand when you used it you would have one shot him even without the jellyfish buff.
well, any weapon would have done more than 0 lol, we will just pretend I didn't know that on purpose to make the challenge harder ;)
@@DoomWolfOfficial well if you ever decide to do a “Ghost Rider” run now you know. I tried making a cosplay for it in with the giants whip and rose whip but didn’t realize it hindered me when I used the move to mimic Penance Stare. Now I switch to spike fist with endure to land the hit in duels if I decide to use it.
"I pledge my loyalty to thee, Malenia... waitt, Doom... stop, no, stop- god damnit."
it's too late, I can't stop, she has me in her grasp lol
WTF?! I underestimated your Level of crazyness a good bit 🤣🤣🤣 rofl love it xD
lol thanks, glad you enjoyed it :)
wow, this was simply fucking amazing, honestly this video is incredible.
Glad you enjoyed the video my friend :)
Good video, looking forward for more vids
Thanks, glad you enjoyed it :)
Well I nvr tried using those fp skill items .
Thanks for enlightening me how useful they actually are.
glad I could enlighten you my friend!
Probably in the far future, ymfah is going to release a video on how to beat Elden Ring without moving and is going to introduce us the most insane, mind gobbling, unreal glitch to skip that singular, required ladder
I hope he does, then the true no left stick run will live on!
@@DoomWolfOfficial This comment aged nicely LMAO
0:24 Really, really, REALLY late response, but I tested something out, and if you do a backstep, and then immediately begin rolling, there's not a single frame where you're walking.
Yeah there were a couple of buffered inputs that could work, like I think charging an attack then holding the stick to aim it the character in a different direction. Either way they kinda feel slightly untrue to the run, at least in my opinion lol
After 106 hours I beat every story boss and you beat it and double digit hours WITHOUT TOUCHING AN ANALOG STICK...
Keep up the good work
well he touched an analog stick, just not the left one
nice on 106! I think my first playthrough was around 150 for all the story bosses and stuff :)
One of few challenges I missed from ER community. No wonder why, as it is pure madness
Few notes/observations
10:11 That is actually what I wrote after meeting an Abductor Virgin at Ray Lucaria, when doing Mirror Knight cosplay. Weapon is great on its own.
26:05 This situation I met and it seems, that Status effect triggered on falling body will not affect Duo's Healthbar. Also, they are teamed up, what begs for Ancient Dragon Lightning Strike :)
29:00 Are you sure it is holy? Some may say its magic, but holy makes more sense
32:00 Unintenionally great weapon choice, as he becomes weak to Slash and Magic in 2nd phase
45:58 Well, all dragons (even nondragon Dragonlord Placidusax) has low Pierce Resistance. Here I would consider using Gravity Bolt, as it deals high damage.
49:20 One time I saw someone getting rid of those 2 ballistas with Elden Stars. One of the instances when this spell proved useful.
Malenia - proc Frostbite, but no Fire after. Frostbite gives 20% more damage, what is a lot.
Thanks for all the notes my friend!
Malenia taking extra damage from frostbite is helpful, but the 2% max HP burn from black flame blade is more helpful lol, _and_ if she decided to do a second waterfowl if the frost bite was still on it wouldn't work (though in this run that wouldn't matter as it's necessary for phantom clones so)
You made the godskin duo look easy. I didn't know that was possible but that was the cleanest run I have seen short of no hit runs
Thanks, what you didn't see was the like dozen attempts where I walk into the arena and immediately help paint the walls red lmao
@@DoomWolfOfficial well that’s how you learn though, shouldn’t be a shame.
Your morgot fight was immaculate!
Thanks, I loved that one, and the radagon fight most. it just felt...clean? good? haha
I learn. So much from you in these boss fights.
Example being the holy attack charge up swing for radagon
And the fact you can jump over the claw beast waves .__.
Jumping the claw attacks feels like it shouldn't work because of the visual, but here we are lol
Great run!
thanks my friend :)
The fact that you had the guts to say latenna fit thematicly is just 👏
Well I mean..she does lol
Man, I *love* the strategizing.... You should write a Gamer's Guide to Elden Ring.
Thanks, it was fun figuring out all the bosses!
Thanks for the hidden "it'll cost ya extra" that was my favorite part of the other video 🙂
I'm glad someone caught that :)
As soon as you said she seemed just out of range and then went "I remembered there was a secret weapon" I immediately went "NAGAKIBA"
I only guessed this because I'm using the Nagakiba as one of my weapons in my current playthrough though, lmao
Nagakiba is a fantastic weapon I'll have to use more after this lol
Be right back joke was on point!
Thanks, glad i'm getting better at comedic timing lol
Of course you have to drop this banger whilst j was at work haha
lol sorry about that my friend :P
You can skip the draconic tree sentinel but going through a trapped chest in the weeping peninsula. It takes you to the divine bridge and you can go down the elevator. There's another fun glitch to get in early when the elevator is disabled with the exploding physic
Yeah someone else mentioned that, I thought the elevator wouldn't work until after coming at it from the other side, but apparently not lol
lol saw that ladder coming, ymfah ds3 no walk run flashbacks right there. Unfortunately I don't think a way to get past that section has been discovered yet. Maybe one day a Glitch will be found, anyways Fantastic video, I enjoyed your suffering.
I hope Ymfah will be able to find a way around the ladder, then the true no left analog stick run can live on
@DoomWolfOfficial yeah, probably would require a $1000 bounty like last time (at least I think that was the price). I'm trying to do a SL1 "fists only" challenge with the Caestus rn, but I'm thinking of a way to do phase 2 SL1 without serpent hunter. Phase 1 I can go for the snake head after bite attacks, but in Phase 2 there is no way to hit him. I guess I'll try using hp regen and fire res to get him to 1/2 hp so that he starts using the bite attacks again but I'm not there yet to test
@DoomWolfOfficial seems like ymfah found a way after all. Seems to use moveset swapping to jump the gap straight to the colossuem based off of the teaser.
You just decide to paralyse yourself playing elden ring for no reason, and I love the commitment to it
The game was becoming too easy, had to do something about it :P
@@DoomWolfOfficial I’m not sure it could get harder, unless you didn’t play with a controller we’re blind folded and upside down
No weapon upgrades, no spirit upgrades, all bosses run. I want you to do a truly high level run and this seems like it would be a decent test of your patience.
No weapon upgrades can probably be nullified by status effects, no spirit upgrades is easy as that's most of my runs anyway lol, and all bosses...as in all 168? that's a lot but doable, could be fun though! Just to try my hand at weaker weapons!
You are crazy, nice video
thanks, glad you enjoyed it lol
You made Radagon's boss fight look truly impressive
His fight felt next level for me. I mean maybe that's a bit cheesy to say or whatever but I legit felt like I ascended during that fight lol
I've never tried to open the first door without grabbing the finger. Didn't know it was required.
The more you know!
