Now, what stupid thing will i try next? Got a couple of ideas in mind!
Come Follow me on Twitch: bit.ly/Tototriceps
Dude you give me anxiety skipping past storm veil castle using jumps when you can just run around the castle literally on that same path you are brave but dear God that's scary
Personally I'd feel fine with your bleeding the dragon to "set up" your character, otherwise after Margit there's usually a heavy heavyish level rush. (Feel free to vote with me fellow viewers)
True, but i always try to stay as close to the rules as possible, it forces me to figure out new ways to do things :D
@@tototriceps that's true, it's also nice seeing other ways to setup occasionally.
Also some challenge videos find other ways to kill the dragon that you wouldn't normaly think of black flame, rot, blood flame, ect.
Rykard's Rancor is unironically good and practical against any enemy that is bigger than an Omen, and extremely strong against huge things like dragons and tree spirits.
The rest... eh...
Try Rancor also in PvP, i am telling you it does wonder...
Ah yes, the wonder of having a giant red skull making a trail of explosions, im getting there.
The ace roast made my chest cave from laughing
Honestly, didnt think this many people would like it haha
Just like Ace's.
💀 nah bruh you out of pocket with that Ace reference that was cold... Like Ace in the ground
Fun Fact: If u have 80 int and 80 faith, the prince of death staff has a better sorcery scaling than lusatas.
I agree, it has 430 scaling
Same with the Golden order seal
I find it funny that you did Elden Beast without Gelmir's Fury. He has a few windows where he starts melting if you use it correctly.
I was to lazy to go and get it haha
4:30
YOU DIDNT HAVE TO DO MY BOY LIKE THAT. i fr cried when he discovered the fabled magma donut
Haha true :D
I feel the Magma blade and it's unique ash of war would have been useful, but made the challenge wayyyy to easy. Love seeing "class" runs where you stick to one class of gear/magic
I used the magma blade in a pvp video of mine, and it does wonders in that context :)
Bro magma blade has a 1% drop rate with 100 discovery
I MAXED OUT MY ARCANE TO 99, USED SILVER PICKLED FOWL FEET AND THE SILVER SCARAB TALISMAN, WHICH BASICALLY GAVE ME THE MAXIMUM POSSIBLE DISCOVERY, WHICH IS 324, BUT IT STILL TOOK ME 3 DAYS TO GET 2
@@nestorschreiber2240 Jesus Christ, you had some bad luck then. On a new save file where I just wanted to try an OP bleed build with double Bandit's Curved Swords, I got them within 2 hours or so, while having a very basic 110 discovery. I know that it has 2% drop rate, but 1% certainly would've only taken me 4 hours then, right? (I'm not even sure if my math is correct lmao)
@@nestorschreiber2240 yo you got to kill all the enemies that use that weapon that's how this is s*** works if you just farm one enemy and then rest of the fire you're never going to get it you got to go around kill all the enemies that have in one of them is likely to drop it five or six runs and you're done
@@tempestblaze2583 Are you dumb? I know how farming works. It’s not 6 runs.
It took 3 days.
4:31 you did NOT have to do that 😭😭
4:31 you’re a menace
It’s crazy how such a good challenge fun like this is flying under the radar so much great video hopefully you get more recognition for your accomplishments!
Thanks a ton, glad you enjoyed it :D! If it blows up so be it, i really only do this cause its fun. I dont really expect lord youtube to do me any favors tho :)
He didn’t even use all the sorceries as well
@@smelliotshamlington567 ?
That ace joke got me 😭
I did a similar run to this that I called the flaming recusant. I used the rotten duelist helm, drake knight armor and gauntlet and the briar greaves. I put eruption on the great stars and used only magma sources with the gelmir glintstone staff. Main talismans were graven mass talisman and claw talisman. I also only used the man-serpent spirit ashes to keep with the whole volcano manor theme and occasionally used the mimic tear when bosses were tough. It was a really fun run actually.
Nah that ace roast was so out of pocket
that ace bit wtf man xD
xD
Imagine calling lava sorceries garbage when they’re some of the most practical spells in the game
Ill correct myself, they are garbage compared to the rest of the spells in the game. Like why would you use Magma Shot when you can just use Glintstone Comet? But i still had alot of fun using the magma ones :)
@@tototriceps magma shot is best when paired with glintstone icecrag to keep reapplying frostbite
@@SereTheDoggoUwU I agree, but for this run i was not allowed to use other spells.
They're "fine" on their own (except for Rykard's Rancor, that one is legitimately good), but they're better and more fun when combined with other spells
@@nsk1911 I used Rykards Rancor in my Magma Build for PvP, it sure does kick some ass :D
The magma spells seem super neat. They just have very obtuse stat requirements and I never found myself with a build that could effectively use them.
They need more zing to be really worth it
I am surprised he didn’t use gelmirs fury or rykards rancor. Maybe it could’ve helped him out?
Gelmirs fury is really bad, and you can not really get rykard rancor cause good luck beating him with just these spells
"liquid hot mag-ma" ~dr evil
Since you used a helm with the astrologer robe: did you know? If you equip the fingerprint helm with the astrologer robe, you will wear the hood over the helm. It's a great choice for fashion souls!
First time watching your vids! Earned my sub with the 4:30 OP reference 🏴☠️
Thanks man :D, as soon as i used the magma sorceries i knew i would have to through that one in there somewhere ahaha
I do love the magma sorceries especially Roiling Magma. Coupled with the Gelmir Staff etc it can do quite good direct damage but its explosion is what does the most damage. Also, as long as the enemy/ies isn't/aren't already alerted it can, when thrown close to the enemy, (which can be finicky admittedly) it attracts their attention and they'll just stand there until it goes BOOM! My main problem is that there isn't _ENOUGH_ magma spells. 😕I like what there is but it pains me to admit it...they need improving and there needs to be more than four (same with the blood/thorn sorceries which I also really like). As it stands Roiling Magma is the one I use the most out of the four (Rykard's Rancor would be my second most used) and even then it's usually best used as a surprise attack or if you can throw it on an enemy/enemies that can't reach you easily (i.e from a different elevation). If there were more Magma spells I would love to do a Magma build.
You're hilarious and very charismatic. Great run, too. I have literally never tried these spells and I guess I wasn't missing anything. Roiling Magma is interesting but in practice it falls short.
Yea, they all fall short compared to other spells :)
Currently binge watching your Elden Ring content :D you are hilarious
Welcome aboard! Thanks man :D
This was a really great video, first time seeing any of your vids despite searching everyday for new elden ring challenge runs(youtubes search engine sucks lol) and yours are some of the best, extremely high quality, good gameplay and entertaining commentary. I just know youll be big someday, your videos are too good to stay small
Yea the youtube algorithm is really wacky these day haha, i dont mind tho, i post these vids cause they are fun to do. If i blow up eventually so be it, glad you guys enjoy it :D
That Ace comment was foul
That was the point haha
0:52 me too, not because of the scenery but because,
a (lesser kindred of rot) Pest scattered my brain all over the cave walls
Go to altus plateau, get the golden order seal, since it scales with intelligence as well, level 17 faith, put all potions in mana, use only healing spells and the magma spells, I do this to my mage build, and for the incantations only build, in the beginning is kinda hard but super manageable
Love the Conkers Bad Fur Day music in the background when explaining the Caelid Rolling Balls things.
Great song!
@@tototriceps
"Okay, bats out"
That was the catch phrase we used when playing that level. Man was it fun.
Personally i would have allowed killing the serpent for the staff but thats me.
I was debating that with myself, but more suffering on my part is the better content option haha
@@tototriceps thats fair but i find it more fun when people can fully use the build they are working with but either way i am here to stay now
the background halo 3 music goes hard
Under rated channel. Keep up the good work!
Thanks man :D. Got alot more coming!
HOLDUP I HAVE FOUGHT MORGOTT AND SEEN FIGHTS OF HIM DOZENS OF TIMES AND JUST NOTICED PHASE 2 FLOODS THE ARENA
your videos have come a long way bro
I ended up doing a build that used these. Was fun and irritating, but my build was just an Int/Faith build that used Golden Order, Death, and Magma spells
The spells are okay, they could have made them better tho
lmao just bodied ace out if no where
My boy turned into Akainu
11:03 Yeah, the Tree Sentinel’s AI is intentionally programmed to automatically shoot a fireball as a heal punish.
i wish magma shot were better. it does less damage than a fully charged fireball, and way less than a giantsflame take thee. and both of those spells can actually hit enemies far away
Yep, they need to be better all around, right now every other sorcery is just better...
@@tototriceps gelmirs fury is totally outclassed as well. just a shame
that Ace joke was low my guy
great one tho
I think the main reason why almost no-one uses magma sorceries is becausd the huge stat investmen required. They are strong and fun, but on a first run you just dont have the levels for it.... I wish they had lower requirements...
Stat requierments are a problem in this game sometimes
I like how when he used margits shackle morgott transitioned into phase 2
Unfortunate haha
I will not tolerate the ace slander 😂
Thats why its in there haha :)
Summoning Benarhl actually does go against the ruleset, since he does not do lava damage.
I agree with you now... i was still learning the game when i made this video so i took the easy way out...
@@tototriceps I understand. Because I made a lava build too, that's why I found this video. Next time just abuse the Duo with sleep pots.
GOSH I LOVE YOUR ACCENT
Thanks :D
Idk about you, but Roiling Magma is my favorite underrate spell. I never touched magma sorcs before on my first character because of the faith req, also heard nothing but crap about them and their damage. Then on my Faith/Int night and flame character. I tried it out and discovered the extremely cathartic time bomb it is! It can really do so much when used correctly. Even helps reveal hidden bridges!
I grew to like it a bit, but its just outclassed by so many other sorceries in the game unfotuneatly...
@@tototriceps outclassed definitely, but not if what outclasses it is restricted 😁
This is the coolest Easter egg in the game
Great video, and I love how instead of just doing mind-bogglingly difficult runs, you do actually unique and outside-the-box runs. No hate ment.
But, as far as I know, Rykard didn't create Magma Sorcery, I think it was the God Devouring Serpent. I don't know exactly what says it, but every lore video with some Rykard origins. It basically says, when Rykard, not yet one with the serpent, discovered ancient curses from those who worship the God Devouring Serpent. They where probably given to his worshipers by the serpent as a kind of gift, and its not hard to connect the magma serpent and its hex stuff to the magma sorcery.
In any case, Fromsoft really should expand on it, there is so much mystery, yet so clear power. Imagine playing as Leydell Knight fighting their way through a huge temple complex, we might even find Dadacar, the theorized mother of the Man Serpents, and impregnated by the God Devouring Serpent level worshipper of It.
Bro did fire first ace dirty eh . Not cool toto lmao 🤣
Bruh that magma shot on the putrid avatar at 9:38 did like no damage, it did around 2.5 times a single cast of catch flame from an unupgraded finger seal at 20 faith
Out of the main story bosses I respect morgott and radahn the most
The ace joke was so uncalled for
I am sorry :D
"Liquid hot magma." ~ Dr.Evil
Passing up the gelmir staff was honestly surprising
You cant get it if you are just using magma sorceries, the serpents are immune to them haha
I like how you added jotaro's theme
I add that one whenever i can haha :D
This game perfectly depicts the Tolkein universe as a anime
Great statement haha :D
dude the speed runners music😭
Wait why didnt he use magma shot its super easy to get
Wow I am surprised someone made a challenge using only this spell category.
I am too haha :D
I hope one of these runs u use the MORGOTT inf stun. Use margitt shackle 3 times before fighting MORGOTT and he'll be stuck still
This doesnt work anymore, they patched it
Honestly love the Russian accent and subtle sarcasm, def underated channel
Thanks man, i never really thought about it but Croatian really sounds similar to Russian haha
I used magma sorceries un my first playthrought in a frosbite build and they work good enought for reseting frosbite
I agree 100% with that! Its just that on their own they are not the best sorceries.
Am I the only one who noticed he dident have the requiorments for the lusats staff in the noble fight
May I offer a suggestion for future runs? (Yes I know this is old but this problem may show up in the future).
If an enemy is completely immune to your damage type, like the lizard thing in the manor, maybe grab a bad weapon that is themed around your damage type. For example the magma worms sword, and only use it on that enemy.
This way you can still get everything you need while not ruining the spirit of the run.
Your suggestion is good, but the best runs imo are the runs that stick 100% to the established ruleset, i dont see changing that in the future.
@@tototriceps True. It is however you want to do it, and how you get around those limitations is awesome.
It's just I've seen some really stupid situations because of that.
For example, giantgrantgames (an rts challenge runner) decided to go so hard on single unit type only in starcraft, he banned transports. Multiple maps required the use of transports, so it got to the point where he had to spend hours just figuring out how to invade one tiny little spot. This happened multiple times. This guy also once had to go full afk for 4 hours straight just to pass one level in his pacifist run.
A five nights runner ran into a problem where he was doing a double-run (no walking and running), and had to break one of those rules to actually beat the game. It was later found out there was a way by reducing frames to an insane degree but yeah.
It happens and your runs are more impressive without even slightly bending, but wanted to bring up that there may be a time where it is just straight impossible without doing so. If that is the case, it's not bad to at least keep this in mind.
of those rules to actually beat the game.
I can't think of anything in particular in elden ring (minus maybe status inflict only run) but something might pop up.
12:27 cut to your latest gravity only vid where your teabagging over his face
Am I the only one who realises the finger maiden in the church where vyke spawns can be used to get the blood for Varre?
May seem bad at a first glance, but if you combine them with fire incantations you can cover an entire area in aoe and lingering lava. Good in pvp
Good point!
Im the stupid one that used magma shot & still using ROILING MAGMA. Mostly against enemies weak 2 fire,
like the TREE SENTINEL & the ULCERATED TREE SPIRIT. Note that ROILING MAGMA, is NOT to be used directly at the enemy,
cuz the spell (can be charged) on the ground & explodes with delay dealing massive damage.
Also worth using againt crowds of mobs & bosses with high magic absorbtion.
Some enemies also get dawn by the charging explosive magma ball on the ground,
making it extremely fp efficient against large groups. It takes prectice cuz u have to avoid hitting enemies &
launch it close enough to them on the ground or wall so the spell lures them in. Meaning u have 2 free aim to get the massive dmg.
I dont know if you grabbed it, but fire scorpion talisman would have been a good thing to grab.
yea that helped me smoke elden beast with blasphemous blade
Honestly, didnt feel it to be entirely nessesary, but its defineatly a solid option! :D
The sheer game knowledge (and omega brain strategies) you have to pull of these stupid runs never fails to impress me. Next vid Mr. 5Head Toto here is going to beat the game using only dodge rolls
That is actually very doable belive it or not, there is a set of armor in the game that does that haha
I love this game lol
why no rykard rancor
Cause you have to kill rykard for that one, and you cant kill him with magma sorceries :)
Togethaaa!
Cheesed fire giant = no like, you had I'm with just 1/4 of life remaining could've just kill him legit
*In Russian accent * “I only drink Magma flavour Vodka”
Not a socery but magma sword is probably the most under rated weapon in the game. After getting the drop i chewed thru the rest of the game with ease
I made a magma pvp build aswell you can check out, and it works pretty well in duels. You use magic to keep distance and if they get close you blast them with the weapon skill :D
@@tototriceps will definetely check it out. I carry the magna sword and the halo scythe on the right and switch to use the weapon skills of both. Halo scythe is another weapon that is so useful with its range weapon skill and blood loss. Sometimes i spam a swarm of flies just catch them if they roll away from the scythe throw. Your vids are great and are well thought out by the way.
Thanks man, really appreciate it :D
saw this video on reddit, subscribed 👍
Thanks man, really appreciate it :D
I remember using magma sorceries a fair bit, they are a very useful way to deal fire damage against tree spirits and avatars
True, i melted all the trees in my way with them :D
I gave morgott my respect. 😊
TOGHTHAAAAAAAAAAAAA
I am doing this run now so um i got through godrick and i was really frustrated with roiling magma i was going to give up and switch runs but i got magma shot so i kept at it
Dont give up!
loved the video 🌞
Glad you liked it!! :D
twilight princess music ? nice
Togrthaaaaaaaa weeeee will devowaaaa the very godssssssss
You know you can just invade and yse the severing finger for the invasion quest right?
I didnt know that at the time sadly
ok we get the meat but what about the potatoes?
how many hours were needed?
+1 for my guy Morgott
Pray for Morgoth! :)
No hate but there is a secret way to get to rykard without killing npc guys I can't name it but it's probably in an video
Do a only Dagger build but cant use the black knife and can only have 30 vigor max
Not interesting enough for me
what r u talking about magma spells r amazing they r so strong and also they deal tons for dmg against trees and dragons
AACCCEEEE!!!!
*cries in pirate*
R.I.P. Ace
the first time i killed that gelmir sorc i got the staff.
You lucky guy
@@tototriceps Lol I also got one straight away after my first killing of a man-eater sorcerer...in fact I got another one not long after when I came back to the room! Could've sworn it's supposed to be a rare drop lol.
Which one is better? Int or Faith magma spells?
Not sure what you mean by that, all of them are int/fth...
Some things I would have done differently:
1. The Margit fight is made a lot easier by collecting the Intelligence knot tear in Liurnia and the Flame Shrouding Tear near the Smouldering Church outside Caelid. The Flame Shrouding Tear is dropped from an Erdtree avatar but they're very weak to fire and take a hefty amount of damage from lava too.
2. Lusat's staff does not passively increase sorcery power, it just has really high damage.
3. Vagabond is the most optimised class, you'll be wanting vigour and endurance anyway, and the balanced int/faith while not high can be leveled with some free runes without too much trouble
4. The Dragonbarrow Night's cav can be cheesed to jump off the edge, that plus the gold pickle near a crucifix in Limgrave translates to lots and lots of free runes, about 48k.
wait wait wait wait. The magma spells do fire *physical* damage?!
Yes the do
@@tototriceps so does bloodboil potion work on it?
Not Ace! is Admiral Akainu he use magma fruit
Does that fire giant phase 2 skip still work? Id love to never fight him again..
Nope, sadly...
Well there are two weapons with magma damage also 2 spells
Roiling bolder farming spot*
