Love this run lmao, was kinda hoping for more Snake Shield love, since it actually procs something called "Deadly Poison" which does like double the damage normal poison does, but lasts 30 seconds as opposed to 90 seconds. The only way to get around this is a poison infusion, which only works on the snakebite fist weapons, resulting in 90 seconds of deadly poison, which is basically as strong as scarlet rot (AND CAN BE STACKED WITH IT).
I completed this challenge myself last year. Super fun one. I think it straddles the line quite well between being an interesting self inflicted challenge run without being completely miserable.
If someone wanted to try a less cheesy version of this build without 2 handing the shield, dragonbolt blessing is great for its hardness 2 buff which reduces the recoil when blocking and even allows you to block heavier weapons/attacks.
The ant’s skull plate shield has a default hardness of 3 without needing a buff and every other great shield has a default hardness of 2. so the blessing would only apply to unblocked attacks but the other buffs from dragon bolt would probably be great for turtling with a base great shield.
@@Vaderburg Theres a few problems with this. When you are invading your shield has no hardness anymore in PvP, so you still need dragonbolt blessing as barricade shield is considered apart of the shield. So you don't get hardness 4 from it. There is also the small issue that dragonbolt blessing lasts twice as long compared to barricade shield. (20 sec vs 10). Furthermore often times shields themselves cannot be infused with ashes of war, especially the best greatshields. Lastly, only greatshields have hardness 2 by default. Medium shields (such as the brass shield, which is insanely popular for being the best medium shield) only have hardness 1 by default. And small shields have no hardness whatsoever, such as the parry buckler.
I did this run myself a couple months ago and I found it quite interesting, the Visage Shield is definitely the best offensive shield by far, and spike and fingerprint are situationally useful especially against NPCs, although I did struggle vs Malenia I tried many setups but at the end I just got her with the Visage Shield and a LOT of patience...
Who would win? Several of the most powerful beings in the world, including what is basically god himself Or One guy with a bunch of wooden and stone slabs

Honestly I think most people aren't aware that you fight the dragon by dealing with the horde at the front. I actually had to find that out by accident when travelling around.
the best part has to be the fact that boss fights that may have given you trouble before wont be as bad being you both are defending and attacking at the same time.
I'm doing this right now also. I still have like 6 remembrances left to go yet. Fire Giant took me a while, I actually beat him with the Visage shield. Turns out 50% fire resistance is still less than 100, lol. The ones I'm most concerned with are Mohg, who I've attempted already and he is an asshole, and Melania. Melania at least has 0 fire resist as long as she's outsaide of the water.
I really enjoyed this one! Could you make a run using only one hand to play the game? I stabbed my left hand while cooking, so I would really like some inspiration while my hand recovers. lol
Wow, what a video! May I suggest making a build about JoJo? I've been thinking about it myself, but I just can't think of what represents the anime in the game
@@tototriceps well, stands are way too difficult (I've seen another TH-camr using Mimic Tear, but it kinda felt like cheating). May I suggest Hamon? Perhaps fists with holy damage on them, or breathing ashes of war
Everybody talking about the shield. It's very cool to see someone challenge a hard game like Elden Ring. But I'm more confused as to how is he zooming that fast on the horse, it's the first time I have seen it go so fast.
This one took a lot of effort to put together, so I hope you enjoy it .

THE WALL NEVER disappoint
It sure never does :D
The wall solos
Bro the horse running like the flash is so funny
The crazy thing is that this build can get even more broken if you use guard counters and the guard counter damage enhancing talisman.
True, i havenst really utilized Guard Counters alot, kinda forgot they existed haha
Fair enough, bosses don’t stagger when you block them
@@FartSticksXDlol guard counters are still useful against bosses with great shields. Need to learn when their attack chain ends.

Its almost perfect difficulty, shields are quite good here in ER
Beating milenia with only a shield is wild
It was a disaster haha

I actualy love the fact that you can make anything OP, makes the game way more fun and open, lots more of possibility for runs too !!
Agreed!

Your English is very understandable for people who do not speak English as their first language, thank you

I this case its the reverse haha
Didn't The saying go " the best defence is a good offence"?
@5:19 Bruh the StarCraft OST in the background. You just made me so happy with that lmao
It makes me happy as well haha
One of the most satisfying things a strength build can do is full trade into an attack and just say no to taking damage with a shield bash
Good point actually!

Nothing is wrong with the horse, he just found my pixie stick collection.
😂😂
This run was so much fun to watch live
You are right my boy
Glad you enjoyed it guys :D
Disclaimer - All the bosses (except some)were barbecued in this run 😂🍗🔥
😂🍗🔥
Hell yes, ive been waiting a long time for this one
Hope you enjoyed it :D
Dying laughing at lore-accurate Torrent
Best mod ever 😂
Forgot about all of these shields haven’t used them in a while
The shield gave you so much Shield armour that you was pretty much just playing Armoured Core 6 preview DLC in Elden Ring
one of the runs of all time
All in all, it's just another brick in the wall
All in all, you're just another brick in the wall

This video and challenge is really good, I think beating EVERY boss in alphabetical order (not just rememberance) would be sick. 👀👀
There's a video of someone doing that (i think ik they did for dark souls) they're pretty cool
GinoMachino beat all 165 bosses in elden ring shield only, along with a bunch of other challenge runs
All 165 bosses alphabeticaly you say? That sounds like a lot of work, ill write it down!
@@MetallicGaming187 yeah I’ve seen it, really good vid. I’ve also seen the ER remembrance bosses in alphabetical, also very good video.
"This is one wall You'll Never Crawl!"
the video was rlly good i enjoyed it tbh
Appreciate the kind words :D
And we bring fire, sing fire, scream fire and fogive!
This was a very good video , can't wait for the upcoming ones =)
Dagger Only is next, stay tuned :D
One of my favorite shields is the coil shield
that starcraft 1 background music goes hard
Best OST in existence for me!
@@tototriceps so classy
"We are having rennala for dinner tonight" bro she IS the meal
Man I really wanna do this run now! Never have i been so amused with a challenge run lol
You wont regret it!
this one will be even crazier when the dlc comes out and we get spiked shields
Who would win?
Several of the most powerful beings in the world, including what is basically god himself
Or
One guy with a bunch of wooden and stone slabs
Stone slabs all the way bro haha

My favorite challenge from one of my favorite content creator. Keep going mate!
Will do mate!
Finished my shied only run yesterday and it was my most fun play through by far
Shields are pretty cool in this game. Alot of nice variety!
Ah yes, SC: Brood war OST. Perfect for a shield only run XD
I dont see anything wrong with that haha
Whenever you post it always makes me so happy and excited. W vid
Now with the DLC and thrusting schields this would have been so much easyer but still loved it i was on the eag of my seat the howl time
kinda wish you use the pingerprint shield, great run all the same. thanks for the content❤❤
This new rising of the shield hero season look wild 😂
😂😂😂
How the hell is he Breezing 🍃 through the game like that. Damn, that horse is flying
Horse Steroids
I remember people doing this pre fingerprint shield nerf, and that shield just destroyed Melania
Still does actually
Uhm ackchually, shields aren't armour, they are technically a weapon, both in game and irl. They are just weapons that are very good at blocking
Wikipedia says its a piece of personal armour...

I also used the technique with the shield to make the tree sentinel fall... that was so fcking hard guys you cant imagine
just casually speedhacking around the map lol
Its funny you gotta agree haha
Loved sly Cooper music in there 👀
I try to find more and more cool music as i go along :)

You should do a "200% speed" run
I did one for Dark Souls 1, but i was too easy. Need to make it harder.

I just began a new game and now use the bloody finger print shield with blood build up of 161 and madness of 70 with shield crash 😂
Wow, what a video!
May I suggest making a build about JoJo? I've been thinking about it myself, but I just can't think of what represents the anime in the game

Bro he litteraly maked Braum of League Of Legends in Elden Ring
I was like "omg how is this so broken thats so unfair " and then i remembered the crucible knights....this is a crucible knight cosplay idc what u say
Unstoppable force becomes immovable object
Wouldn’t the hidden flask tear be really good with the flamethrower shield?
Nah, Stamina running out was the main issue.
Yeah stamina is the problem, not really fp
a few weeks ago i was wondering how hard it would be to play eldenring with only shields thanks for making this video so I don't try it myself
No problem :D

Good offense is a good defense
Stream was cool
Funny, only reason I passed Malenia was because of a greatshield so I could block the waterfowl dance
That a good plan if you have a normal weapon too, here you do need to avoid everything!
TBH for us PVPers shield power has been known for a while. They can be disgustingly strong on a dedicated build.
Yep, shield pokers galore haha
I find this interesting cuz it reminds me of the anime the rising of the shield hero
