Black Myth: Wukong is out NOW! Use the power of the GeForce RTX 40 Series to enhance your gameplay with full ray tracing and NVIDIA DLSS 3: load.gg/nvidia_dist2 #ad
For anyone who's too ignorant to read the description, yes this is a reupload. He had technical difficulties with the original so it was only up for a few hours before being removed to be fixed. Glad its back up, Distortion!
It’s so annoying when people keep repeating the same thing. Just read the description, same thing with the constant “not a guard counter, invalid run! Reset” every boss fight lol
Thank you for this video, I have been really enjoying your content. I am a new player on my first playthrough and this helped me understand how to block better with 2h weapons. This game has a steep learning curve but once you pick up the tricks it gets so much easier. Thank you for helping me take a few more steps deeper into this game.
This is legit how I play the game normally, well, I do attack normally, so not really an "Only" style. Still, its fun to see people who dont ever (or rarely) use a mechanic in ER and how to play using it.
I know the run's already over, but I kid you not when I say that the Smithscript Cirques would have solved your Elden Beast problem. The range and homing make them really good for guard counters, even if the damage is a LOT lower.
Was there a reason he went back to allowing jumping? Not whining just curious. I disagreed with chat that it detracted from the challenge. Very little you can jump is guard counterable anyways.
Basic question.. But can you guard counter with every weapon and on every attack? Also is there a window of time near enemy's attack that should be used to counter, or you can hold guarding position indefinitely until they land an attack?
You can guardcounter every attack you can block so basically everything but grabs and yeah you can just hold block indefinitely. In the dlc they added a physick tear that makes it so if you push block right as an attack is about to hit you (sort of parry) you will get 100% physical damage negation, 75% status and elementsl negation and reduced stamina damage, regardless of your blocking tools guard values. Blocking repeated attacks also boosts your guard counter damage and poise damage in tiers up to 4
As for the "every weapon" question, you can guard counter with any weapon you can two hand. You can also guard counter by blocking with a shield. So, twinned weapons can't guard counter without a shield, and neither can a select few one-hand exclusive weapons like the Grafted Dragon.
@@1umbreon4life Twinned weapons that can block can guard counter (e.g, backhand blades), but those that have a unique L1 animation (e.g, Rellana's twinblades) cannot
What happened? I remember seeing it but I didn't know it was removed Edit: I'm dumb, he said it in the description, it's some technical issues, I always forget that description is a thing
439 hours in Elden Ring, watched countless speedruns, builds, lore explanations, hidden secreats videos... Just now found out you can use Torrent during Elden Beast fight :D
The code for Malenia being immortal during certain animations is their shitty way of fixing her being instakilled into phase 2. But Fire Giant had basically the same issue and is fine.
I think the difference is that her HP goes to zero unlike the Fire giant. Not to mention she doesn’t get her full hp in 2nd phase. I assume that they want her to not have her phase 2 to not be completely full and that’s what causing the issue with her.

Hey sorry for asking but do you have a discord server? Someone added me and said it was you but I'm scared i don't really know
Dist: "im sorry for what's about to happen to you, Yosh."
Onze: "and i am sorry for what is about to happen to you too"
Whoever sifts thru the 20hrs+ of Dists stream vods to make these edited vids is a fucken champion!
Big ups to who that is 👍
18:25 Lmao guard countering the lava.

Great video and playthrough as always. That Elden Beast fight was crazy. Cheers from Germany
Ngl the Rykard lava counter strat is kinda genius

This tear actually stacks in damage and poise damage with perfect blocks up to 4 stacks that last 5 or something seconds. How cool
I'm impressed by his dedication to finding a way to smash the spiritspring cairn instead of just using Margit's Shackle like I do.
I actually laughed out loud at the 7000+ on the lion.
The rusty anchor is such a hype weapon, it's funny
25:55 the music was so on point for this boss
I kinda love that first Hoarah Loux fight. The first Elden Chad knows exactly how to deal with someone spamming guard 😎
This is legit how I play the game normally, well, I do attack normally, so not really an "Only" style. Still, its fun to see people who dont ever (or rarely) use a mechanic in ER and how to play using it.
This run was really fun to watch live!
guard countering lava is insane
Why the sudden sense of deja vu... Reupload?
I watched this live and remembered the part at 1:25:10 was so damn funny lmao
Damn distortion2 really made it getting sponsored by nvidia
2:13 to skip sponsor
Hey sorry for asking but does he have a discord server? Someone added me and said it was this guy but I'm scared
distOne so good, we have to watch again

NVIDIA Sponsor? good job man
Gino got it too, how interesting
@@sunbleachedangel 5000 series coming soon!
@@Annoying_Killah did you get a sponsor too?
Bro just casually gets sponsored from Nvidia?
Distortion2, You're the best! I subscribed because I love your content!
I knew Wukong was being played for a bag 🤣
I hadn't qatched this yet so thanks reupload for reminding me to
About time he reuploaded it lol.
You should do it again except don't stat with the op tear before you can actually get it.
Hesitation is defeat, well done.
This is actually insane
Take a shot everytime bro says raytracing
Hey sorry for asking but does he have a discord server? Someone added me and said it was this guy but I'm scared
That Rykard fight has to be the dumbest thing I’ve ever seen in my life
bro got grafted on the first godrick fight lol

Literally the closest elden beast in history, lol not even close

Yaaay new dist video😃
Wait a minute, i've seen this before
Old video was 1 hour, 26 minutes and 23 seconds long
Seeing another yt do the exact same challenge with no rule changes ask the question “can you beat Elden ring with guard counters only”😐😑😐
Oh snap, caught the notification. Let's go!
No rolling rule was not needed
Ahaha like anime, you parry everything
nice video
Me thinking your using RKR the whole first quarter of the video not determination.
who was the second shardbearer he killed to get into leyndal??
Rennala
oj gyatku ale sigma
So does the anchor just have full physical defense on block
The tear grants huge damage negation for perfect blocks
With the tear you negate 100% physical and 75% elemental damage on perfect guards
Nice I didn't even know perfect guards were a thing
howd u get sponsored by nvidia? big time utuber
not even clothe
how he get deflect tear ?
Is this re-uploaded or am I trippin?
I just wondered the same thing
POGGIES
How did u get the sekiro tear
Gravesite plane furnace golem in the dlc
I’m here bc dist told me to! 😢
When are you going to do this but with minimum vigor so if u miss one gc u die
"In today's video" bro you removed it weeks ago after uploading 💀
What happened? I remember seeing it but I didn't know it was removed
Edit: I'm dumb, he said it in the description, it's some technical issues, I always forget that description is a thing
@@wafwaf485same I remember watching it
Maybe read the description
What a stupid comment by anime himself
Read the description next time you hooligan.
Commenting because you told me to
Dropping a comment since Dist asked for it 😐

To be fair that was added with the DLC patch, so it's not like you've missed it from the start :P And I only learned when I saw it in a video lol
Yeah it's a 1.12(?) and later feature.

Love your challenges but this is honestly not much of a challenge ..
Executing critical hits makes this pointless. You achieved nothing.
