The chat: Riposte is avoiding damage
Chat again: being too close is tech dodging
"Is KiLLiNg tHe bOsS aVoiDiNg DaMaGe tOo??"
For real. The rules were so clearly established. Technically he didn't riposte, as a riposte is an attack following a parry, and what he did is just a critical attack on a staggered enemy, which in the game does work the same way, but it isn't the same action. Standing close to the boss is not dodging, and the rules clearly stated that the boss missing an attack does not count as the player dodging the same attack. It's 100% with the spirit of the challenge. The challenge was to beat the game without dodging, not to beat the game while absorbing all of the damage everything can possibly dish out forever without ever killing anything or dying lmao.
There’s always one dummy in chat who doesn’t pay attention to the rules and says stuff like that

21:22 "Can we eat it?"
This genuinely feels like a passive aggressive response to someone saying "just don't get hit" unironically.
To me it feels like a passive aggressive response to someone who gave up on the game after 1 death and said “it’s too hard I can’t do it”
Honestly it reads more like an attack at people who point out the very valid artificial difficulty compared to other souls games.
@@user-cg3em4cw4f it ain't difficult tho
@@shiningpecan6978 You're right, it's not. However compared to other souls games the bosses are significantly less interesting to fight which is my main issue. Everything past morgott is just a slog. Edit: to put it better, it's not the "difficulty" that's the issue it's how it's difficult. It feels like they tried to overtune bosses and give them all enormous combos and AOEs but it just makes them all boring and similar to fight.
@@user-cg3em4cw4f I disagree completely. 🗿
Most impressive thing is to stand and watch how Radan is falling towards you meteor speed, not to flinch and be like - come at me bro. Manliest thing ever.
Imagine what the bosses must feel. Using their strongest attacks that even other demigods try to avoid, and this lone literally unflinching Tarnished just eats it face first with zero hesitation, that's terrifying
@@Never_heart It's definitely something where the initial reaction is just being dumbfounded at how immensely stupid this Tarnished is being, to sheer, pants-shitting horror as he *gets back up*.
@johnnyjoestar4473 that is true, the actually terrifying part isn't face tanking a hit like that. It's getting up after and continuing to walk closer
The fact that elden ring is such a difficult game ,yet still can be beaten in a variety of ways makes it one of the most fascinating and repayable games of all time.
But the DS 2 still have more uniqueness
yep, it reminds me of ds 1 and 2 in that regard. also the reason why im not that big a fan of bloodborne. as that game is too 1 note. you basicalyl play the exact same way but using diferent weapons that dont change it that much.
and before people come talking about how in BB weapons are more unique, they kinda are, but changing them is not that diferent from 2-handing in other souls like.
@@marcosdhelenono, changing weapon form is nothing like two handing, but you can tell yourself that if you want. You can dislike bloodborne, but this is just plain false.
Every attack combos with every followup you choose. In other souls game R1 combos with R1 and R2 with R2, and that's that. Sometime you get a R1-R2 combo, but that's it. Hitting different button simply disrupts the flow of the action and resets the combo. Which is fine for souls game since they play at a much slower pace, but weapons definitely have less than 1/3 of the options and movesets bloodborne has. The changing form attacks have a moveset of their own. Two handing is an action that stays the same for every weapon, changing form is an actual attack and plays right into the fast pace of bloodborne. Again, it's fine if you don't like it, but the comparison makes no sense.
@@giulioceresini1435 " In other souls game R1 combos with R1 and R2 with R2"
this clearly shows you are talking out of your ass.
seriously, there's a channel dedicated to DS1 pvp, and he proves that this is just false. many weapons not only can combo r1s into r2, but you can also combo using rolls, side steps, running and jump attacks.
some spears for example, have thrusts in the r1, but sweeps in the r2. and you can easily combo them.
so many weapon combos allow for roll catches in ds1.
just look at the broad sword moveset and tell me you cant combo it. in some cases you can combo stuff other weapons cant, like the reinforced club, allowing jump attack into r2 for a second jump attack.
and that's DS1, which is only not as clunky as DeS. in other games like DS2 and 3, it becomes even easier to combo stuff. specially in 3, as some weapon arts were designed to literary be comboable with r1s or r2s.
Man what are you talking about? Elden Ring is the easiest of the Souls games.
Bruh imagine how terrified these bosses must be, they throw their strongest attacks and combos at this tiny Tarnished. But he Just….. Keeps….. Coming….

This is infinitely easier than no hit
@@jstar3382 An actual every hit run would involve having to run into every attack... even those that would miss you if you did nothing... I'd say it's harder than no-hit because it depends much more on enemy attacks. Not the run in this video, but an actual every-hit run

It must have taken a lot of discipline to not instinctively dodge what you know is for sure going to destroy you. Lmao. Makes me laugh every time. Well done Tarnished.
The fact that learning all of these items, spells, effects, and stagger mechanics would probably take more time than developing decent attack dodging reflexes makes this even better
“I have to play like someone who doesn’t know any of the bosses attack patterns and has a terrible reaction time”

An unspoken challenge of this run is to resist the urge pressing the dodge button after all those hours of muscle memory
i know what that word is supposed to mean, but i dont think its real
@@michaelbarker6732 What word? "Muscle memory"? Think about it has your muscles memorizing certain action, like push ups, writing or just gaming in general, in this case is every time a enemy attacks your muscle memory inmediatly presses the dodge botton due to hours and hours of practice.
He probably unbound it in the settings
@@jesusdavidgarciaretana6567 lol i know what muscle memory is dude. The word I was referring to was “untalked.” Also muscle memory is two words so why would that even be what you thought I meant?
@@jesusdavidgarciaretana6567 also I said “I know what that word is supposed to mean” so even if thats the word I meant, explaining it wouldn’t even be what I was asking for lol
Honestly a similar challenge that might be harder would be a panic roll version of this
You have to dodge any movement of any enemy, and have to panic roll at least 3 times per roll to simulate someone bad as well
You could also do it where you roll every attack until out of stamina
would you ever be allowed to move and deal damage though? They move all the time
@@questionsayer yea seems overkill 😂
Dodge roll attacks only? :)
There is a guy who finished Elden Ring by killing ennemies purely through rolling, briar armor adds 20 damages to your rolls.
@questionsayer the only way would be the Briar Armor so you could deal damage on rolls
Funny how out of all the "tank" runs with poise being an important thing and noone remembered about Fia's buff which increases your poise significantly with about 10% HP trade. Plus you can actually get a hug so that'd be another win
The buff only lasts 15 seconds, it's more likely that people just don't bother with it since it's not worth the trade. One could make an argument for the radiant variant of the buff which lasts for 70 seconds but is only obtainable once in a playthrough, can't be stored, you can't hold more than 1 and it doesn't carry over to NG+.
They're simply not worth using. Hugs are nice though.

That run was a definition of "strategy without tactics"
underrated comment!
unga bunga at its finest
The only strategy is no strategy.
that run was the pinnacle of tactics. tactics is an action or strategy carefully planned to achieve a specific goal/end. he had to plan out his armor, his stat allocation as he lvled, which invocation to pick up, which ash of war to use, how he should allocate his flasks, consummables, etc etc. sure. in combat it just looks like a walking tin can getting beaten on like a training dummy. but his tactic was to make pretty much the pinnacle "tank" build for elden ring and resort to "if i kill them first they can't kill me."
@@alexanderbeardsley5465when people mention strategy and tactics in the same sentence, they usually mean strategy to be high level planning, and tactics to be low level maneuvers.
Honestly, the most impressive thing about these runs is that for a lot of them, you probably have to unlearn quite a lot of habits, such as rolling out of the way of certain attacks.
I think your strategy with Rykard was definitely acceptable. With these special playthroughs you do, there has to be some room for certain bosses. Awesome job man. These do help me realize the advantages of some of these builds you do.
Considering it's right there as soon as you enter the arena I think it's safe to assume that even new players are going to eventually figure that one out.
To take that a step further, any new player gathering enough info to find all this gear is absolutely gonna know about Serpent Hunter going into that fight, so either way I agree that it's fine.
My noob friend (well only had BB under his belt) didn't realise to use Serpent Hunter and just tanked the lava damage
@@pennycat7276 wtf are you saying
“Morgott’s great rune will be very useful”
Proceeds to never activate Morgott’s great rune
So about at useful as Malenia’s rune then. I’m sure that 20 hp he regened was more valuable than the alternative runes.
Godrick's Great Rune would have been better IMO (Raises all attributes by +5). I think that great rune is the best of the lot. It's what I always use.
@@davidtsmith33 godricks great rune falls off later game as it increases attributes, whereas morgotts is a 15% boost to health
@@davidtsmith33 Yeah I prefer to use it for general play since all attributes going up might save your ass with resistances and whatnot at times. Having the most health possible is handy sometimes sure but I don't think it's entirely necessary, if you're getting so screwed by something you need that then things are going badly anyway.
@@mrcheesemunch Exactly.
There's always something so satisfying about watching these grabs and fight-ending super moves from bosses hit, only for it to do piddly amounts of damage and you to stand back up like "that all you got?"
This really is a game where you can play however you want, and odds are there's a way to make it work with enough time and effort.
Bro is standing there like Senator Armstrong while he gets pummeled by all these attacks
Boss: *drops meteors and breaks reality to DESTORY him*
Bushy: “I ain’t hear no bell”
It's even better when you face Tarnished bosses and are using Inescapable Frenzy. Once they do their big move and you tank the shit out of it, you just walk up to them, grab them, and set them on fire.
38:44 is an extremely based take, he has so much reach that getting in close and trying to find the blindspots in his attacks is more effective than any attempt at spacing
One thing that occurred to me was, why not use Spirit Ashes? If the goal was simply to prove that the game is beatable without using reactionary movement, using Spirit Ashes would make it even simpler. They are after all the inbuilt easy mode of the game. Mimic Tear is almost an "I win button" vs all bosses.
Also, Endure on an offhand dagger or in a secondary slot adds alot of Poise and resistance.
Bubble Aromatic(forgot the real name of it) also adds alot of dmg resistance, could have been useful vs giant hits that take awhile to land like Radahns divebomb. - against rules I guess...
Well obviously he could use Spirit Ashes but that would ruin the point
Not even that.
He could just use shields which give damage negation when blocking + guard counters.
26:08 my favorite moment from this entire video. Dude literally said "I'll sub if you add drip." And Bushy tried it and loved it, and so did everyone else.
did he sub afterward?
@@tearfulblade
Not sure
ngl that cape looks hot af
That is drippy af
I imagine the hardest thing for you was to not react to attacks and not roll/dodge
Exact same thought. It must take crazy focus not to instinctively roll every time because you've done it thousands of times before.
He most likely unbound/rebound the button
I mean you can unbind rolling
@@jayeff4337 he didnt.
these games have been rolling simulators ever sense demon souls mustve been real hard for him lol
I can't imagine how hard it must have been to fight every urge to dodge those attacks, especially the extremely telehraphed ones
As a side note, I don't think Prayerful Strike actually does any holy damage. It just does weapon damage with a high MV and has the sacred affinity by default, but I'm pretty sure that if you switch it to one of the physical affinities it will do pure physical.
I like the idea this zero combat understanding person being emulated in this video, also happens to know every single item detail and location. Like they just learned the wiki word for word before playing
This type of tank has been known for a long time... anyone could stumble upon a yt guide explaining it. It's not exactly complicated. :P
I mean, I understand you're being facetious and joking, but that is EXACTLY like the ER generation of noobs. They know all the info, all the story, every weapon location and what they do, builds, etc; but they don't understand the combat: things like positioning, a "theme" for your character (very specialized builds), boss attack patterns, etc. But mostly, it's a disconnect between what they know, and what they can actually make happen.
This was me when I was given SOTFS some years ago... knew all the info, but couldn't put it together lol. Took 2 entire games, but eventually, I got it.
@@ricardodarcangelo2437 True, ER seems to just give you a lot more early on (or the access early on) for these items that allow such a 'playstyle'
what do you mean? this is just a tutorial so that they don't have to. just copy and paste obviously lol.
it's when you're a pro in theory but suck on practice
There's a lot of irony in the fact that in order to simulate being very bad at elden ring, you have to be really fucking good at elden ring.
First video I've seen from you and I subscribed instantly when you started popping off about the sleep pots on the godskin duo. I just got through my first playthrough and absolutely love the game. Great idea for a video and amazing execution.
I remember doing something like this when the game first game out. Before it was patched, Fingerprint Stone Shield fully upgraded didn't consume any stamina on block and negated pretty much all damage, so I literally went through the entire new game + just holding L1 and poking things with my spear from behind my shield. The whole run was incredibly brain dead and incredibly easy, and I was dying laughing my whole playthrough.
It's even better if you two hand the shield and simply use shield crash. It still works, and it's pretty good for pvp too.
The Elden Beast probably went from "What is this dumb-dumb doing" to "OH GOD PLEASE JUST DIE ALREADY" very quickly as the fight went on there.
Led me to think
This game can be played in so many ways it’s insane, suits all play styles
wait? upgrading shields imprive their defensive stats?
I cannot imagine how hard it must have been to ignore the dodge instinct, especially if youve played all the fromsoft games to date. Bravo sir.
If I was doing this challenge, I would legit have to unbind roll lol
It felt so weird seeing him get hit by the easiest attacks to dodge. When Godfrey made that strong hit with the axe my eyes were bleeding because he could not dodge and punish Godfrey with a strong attack.
I suck so much at souls games but I love watching them and people creating so many different ways to beat this game is always so cool to watch 👏🏻
I have a disability and thought I couldn’t play this game because of my lack of movement skills and coordination, but this made me very happy to see! Maybe I can play it after all!
I am not sure about your situation but I once saw a Chinese dude with a special controller for one handed people kills the tree sentinel right out of the first step. So, you can enjoy it.
Watching him stand there and take the Rhadon meteor to the dome was hilarious
Yea that's crazy but I think the Radahn meteor is even better ngl
@@Bane95 fr, the Radahn meteor was way more epic
Re: Rykard fight
The whole idea of the run is playing like someone who doesn't know dodge timings and all, so standing in the lava is absolutely valid in that logic.
Also: Lion's Claw my beloved, favorite Ash of War in the game
And as a bonus, you take consistent damage from Rykard's Lava "Aura"

Anyone else lose their minds when he tanked the meteor? I've watched so many garden of eyes videos where bosses get obliterated and this tiny man just took it like a champ.
Same if it can one shot gideon and turn the match on stronger bosses
That attack does like 2000 damage at most. Not a big deal to tank with a lot of health and damage resistance.
iirc the bosses don’t get knockdown immunity frames - usually at least - whilst the player CAN, so they don’t get multihit
I think It might be the same issue as the one that was with the bleed dogs, which where able to hit you one time every single frame, doing almost 12000 dps, now, Imagine the meteroite, It would be like 7 times more DPS that the one that was used to made those bleed dogs

My go-to for stance breaking higher poise enemies has always been great stars with the lion’s claw ash of war. It’s not a hard skill to land reliably and it hits like a truck. You just have to get a feel for the timing. I often use that when fighting things like the omen in the shunning grounds. I’ll either use that or a medium shield with carian retaliation and just parry all of their swings for instant staggers.
I actually paused the video to write that comment, resumed watching and you mentioned lion’s claw about two seconds later haha

Great run! Thanks for the content! :D
I think the idea is that, if you're really dedicated to not using reaction time or "being good," it's very feasible to still win! As long as you're using your brain and adapting to your problems, you can use what you have (probably the internet, if you're a new player) to win and have fun.

Twitch chat constantly worrying about the rules for hours on end is the most twitch chat thing ever
When play souls games, I often crutch on greatshields, since my reflexes arent as good as alot of players. That habit paid off hard in elden ring with the addition of guard counters :D That is, until Malenia and her waterfowl dance. You just cant block it, nor can you just stand and take it. She made me learn how to roll lol
That was unironically one of the most versatille and varied bonk build I have ever seen done, adaptive for various situations and so forth, not even my most varied character has so much contingency for most shit. And this was done all for the purpose of being the most direct thing possible. Well done indeed.
For those who want to play around with Lion's Claw/Flame of the Redmanes on great hammers and such, consider the talismans that recover hp/fp on critical attacks. Great hammers' criticals strike twice, giving double the effect (also daggers on big enemies). On Mohg, for example, Bushy might not have needed to drink flasks at all with these talismans.
damn, in never realised that hammers counter twice for those

i really appreciate how you kept showing the gear u used a nice touch!
The fact that he can change his play style to not dodge attacks is incredible. I’m trying to dodge them in my mind just watching the video and he’s got his hands on the controls, shows some serious restraint
Dude playing the game like a basic NPC with an attack order, this is hilarious I love it
Putting an extra spin onto this definitely made it more interesting. I'd seen a few "no-dodging" runs before and they all went pretty much the same but this certainly seemed far more challenging.
Also that 2nd attempt at elden beast was just pure bullying.
I love these challenge runs. Very entertaining to see and I just finished my own challenge run. Not as sophisticated but I only put points into strength and vigor and only used the starting club from the wretch. Then to keep myself mobile I only used leg and hand armor. Pretty fun and only took a weekend to complete. Im not as good as this guy though.

From most of what I’ve seen, the reason why Great Stars and Prelate’s Charge work well together is because people cast Bloodflame Blade alongside. That way you get extra bleed over time applying on top of the weapon’s bleed, extra fire damage alongside the Charge, and the flame trails also having the bleed effect going as well
Yeah, I ran that for a bit along with Winged Sword Talisman and Godskin swaddling cloth, that build can get nutty with the right Sacred Flask/Talisman combos.
this is correct, it doesn't apply the bleed without that buff

This video inspired me to do a similar run, but by power stancing weapons (most of the time; or two-handing one weapon). Additionally I must follow the "traditional"/"historic" route and only use the gear and material I found in these areas.

Bernahl's cape for the drip and lions claw on the giant crusher is my favorite way to play. Glad to see lion's claw and the cape show up in a video
Bernahl's cape really do be clean af
Watching runs like this have taught me more about the game than any dedicated 'build' video ever could.
The patience needed for a run like this is beyond me
the amount of knowledge about the game mechanics necessary to beat this challenge means you still have to “get good” to beat the game, no matter what!
Yeah he broke so many of his own rules he set out but besides all the rule breaking nonetheless a cool run
At least he didn't have to get good mechanically so I think it was very much in line with the spirit of the run
This knowledge can be googled but that's about the only saving grace for the challenge.
Granted even someone not trying to git gud would learn something from a fight and get a successful dodge or run away at some point
Googling item effects and locations is not the same as "getting gud"
@@JaydenLand Anyone who is a souls virgin isn't simply googling and even then figuring it all out or succeeding half as well as he did (which isn't necessarily superb)
Dude I want to thank you. You helped me improve elden ring by a lot just from watching you play. Your movements, your patience. I love your content and I binged your videos. You are a great content creator and I truly appreciate these challenges 🤍
I don't think you should do what he's doing in this video tho
brother what movements he was standing still
@@fawazahmed4978 he talks about older videos you stupid bastard
You should see how angry he gets at twitch chat for literally anything lol
I don’t think he was pointing to this video specifically, but to Bushy’s content as a whole that have made him a better ER player.
I love when he's lighting the flames for the dear it shows one of those guys punching him buts cuts right before he gets hit 😂😂
The "Can we eat it" on Redan really got me for some reason.
Nice vid, subbed.
Bushy is basically just playing as a boss at this point
honestly watching these challenge runs really put a perspective on how well beautifully animated this game is with the wacky scenarios you’re in
Can’t believe people tried to say your swing animation was considered dodging. Give the man his props he’s killing it. Some people are never happy
Yeah
I mean no matter how he does it he won't be able to replicate a bad or new player tbh, it's a great video but still doesn't make the difficulty complaints about the game less valid
@@jevislife5675 how can you devalue something that has 0 validity in the first place😭😭
It is because they are jealous.
@@jevislife5675 what difficultly complaints? Apparently this is one of the easiest souls games. It’s my first one and I’ve been doing absolutely fine
these challenges have been incredible. I don't know how you got rid of the instinct to roll
used to watch you play gwent, now u make top notch elden ring guides. Much love bushy
'Remember, I'm playing like a new player'
Proceeds to min max character more than 99% of players have ever even attempted to
I just have to say, that character creation looks sick. At night it kinda looks like a hazmat suit and it feels so surreal to have something modern looking in the Lands Between.
"we are simulating one who doesn't know how to play the game"
proceeds to phd level of collecting talismans, tears, armor, ashes and weapons, lmao
Lion's Claw is one of my favorite ashes, glad someone suggested it cause it's pretty underrated imo
I'm really surprised you managed to pull this off without Comet Azur, that was my "I don't want to learn to dodge" strategy
My first spell caster playthrough was basically that because of how much a glass cannon I was, I basically said "F IT I'm gonna cast this spell and either I will die or YOU will."
Its actually not the guaranteed victory people think it is, its a coin toss on the boss standing in the right position long enough.
I feel like spamming Burn, O Flame! could have also worked for Malenia.
Other than that, great job!
P.S. I don't think it would've helped much, but you can get another Great Stars from defeating the Magnus the Beast Claw invader.
Or one of the night sorcery projectile spells
I would've tried bolt of gransax tbh. Does great damage, even more so if she stands in the water, and kocks her down. Also can be cast from outside waterfowl range!
He tried it, didn't work
@@xqtionr538 Okay.
I’m pretty sure he tried that on stream and it didn’t work out
You can stun lock melania with destined death on malikaths sword it breaks her stance pretty easily and you can just spam it and it work in second phase and it worked for her special too but idk I 2nd tried her first play through w it
I’d honestly say that the Godrick “strafe” was fine. You walked towards him, and bro struck the ground behind you. Quite personally, that’s on Godrick.
Also the first dragon breath attack. I think hes confusing try not to dodge attacks with try to allow every attack to hit you.
Absolutely love the science being done here. Never thought I'd see the day someone take every hit possible in a game that primarily kills in two hits at higher end bosses. Well Done and Well Played!
One thing I always do that actually might help you since you seem to mess up your item bar a lot - I put the red flask on the quick toggle + left dpad and the blue flask on the right dpad buttons. I also put the physik on theh top and torrent on the bottom, so I never need to cycle through my quickbar to quickly use any of those items.
I always wonder why people don't do this more. They're the most used items, fromsoft gave you a menu made specifically for using an item anytime
You can also reset your item scrolling to the first item by holding the d pad button. Hp always at the ready.
Alternate title:Beating Elder Ring as a regular strength build in Dark Souls
I’ve been doing this challenge myself but I only use jump attacks, no damaging ashes of war, no consumables, no great runes, no spells/incantations, and I’m not allowed to use the roll button ever. I unbinded it. No running, rolling, backsteps, recovery roll, torrent dash, etc.. I think the lack of a wake-up roll specifically turns the game into a nightmare against most bosses. Waiting for the full get-up animation takes like 2-3 full seconds and makes this challenge far more difficult than it otherwise would be
The essence of "I am going to ram my head until this boss is dead" is strong with this one.

should be pinned!
I agree with the most annoying boss
I definitely need to use magic points a lot more after seeing this. I hate using resources, so only recently even started using magical buffs before bosses. And I used a rune buff for the first time last night to unlock the last ending against the Giddorah dragon in Faram.
This is deeply satisfying my dude, great content
In a way, this whole challenge was symbolic the very reason we all play these games by FROM Software. No matter how many times your character is battered and beaten, he stands again to face the challenge head on. Admirable, really.
Oh definitely!
I feel like the Rykard fight was totally within the rules, my first time fighting him was EXACTLY like that, just walk up, stand in the lava, smack the shit out of him
Yeah, I feel like most people going into it completely blind (unlike many of us) just run right in or try to get as close as possible while avoiding the AOE (typically not ending well)
Amazing. You unga bungga'd Rykard with just two attempts. It took me a couple of hours hours with my sorcerer build where I was forced to use the serpent hunter spear.
This really does show why flasks in pouches are a good choice. No worrying about having to swap to/back to them.
I think seeing you do a run where you complete as many NPC quest lines as possible would be neat. As an added bonus, for any NPCs that die or "die" you could play as them, or as closely to them as possible. Switch when the next one dies, or whatever.
The first part is just a normal playthrough though.
That's not much of a challenge run, just a long boring run
That's not a challenge. That's just a regular playthrough that everyone does
What? Lame ass ideas
He’s doing something similar on Twitch rn, he can only use what he gets from a quest/npc
I love bushy's creativity with these runs. It flips the game on its head and make me wonder if theres a limit to rediscovering it
Great video, i just think there were a few things that could've been done a bit different, like powerstance jump attacking with another great hammer to get better stace breaking, or sneaking in some extra hits before a riposte. Respect not using sleep pots on Foreskin Duo tho, huge chad move
