I'm glad I watched this video, for two reasons. The first reason, of course, is because the video was fire, as your videos always are. The second reason is because it made realize that Vow of the Indomitable is exactly what one of my builds is lacking. Before, I was thinking about using Barricade Shield, but Vow's particular utility fits my needs a whole lot better than Barricade Shield does, and seeing it in action in this video was what showed me that. So big thanks for that!
I'm currently about to finish an Elden Ring Level 1 playthrough because of your (and several others') videos that encouraged me to do challenge runs of this series. Always look forward to see what you come up with next.
Always good to see you stop by champ. _Real shit:_ Apparently there's bugs RN where views/videos aren't being received. Conveniently It started after after this was uploaded. 💀
I know Melania just loves Waterfowl dance, but that last one, it felt so desperate, like she *had* to have it work, only for it to fail, and the way she stumbles, before looking up to the Gun-Shield, truly inspirational.
Amazing as always. My strength character was the one character I just wasn't feeling until I decided to goof around with shields in your honor because I loved the previous shield videos so much. Good to see the official strats for breaking the game. I've just been beating people over the head with great shields. Forgot all about this crazy shield. Love your stuff friend. Keep on keeping on
you madman, you did it, also before even watching the video, I'm gonna assume it's either really hard and has shit damage or is extremely op and makes the game easy, jokes aside, thanks for remembering dark souls 2 and never forgetting the old souls games, I'm gonna keep up with your channel as it grows, keep going man
Fantastic work man. I was so happy to see you try the shield boys, but it's sad they didn't follow the rules. Any particular reason you didn't use the mimic tear with a shield? I feel you could have got up to shenanigans with stunlocks, or by having the mimic use a different shield from you to get different effects. Please keep the bangers coming, I love your work.
Love your videos man. You have a great style and sense of humor for them! Watched your Level 1 Guide and fell in love with the channel. Please keep making cool souls videos :)
I did a "powerstance" jar shield run before (can't actually powerstance shields sadly), one was fire affinity and the other was frost, dual wielding and alternating strikes to proc frost build up then cleansing it with the fire one. It was pretty fun!
The Erdtree Greatshield is also great to use against the draconic sentinel's fire ball attack. It lets the sentinel get a taste of their own spam medicine.
bro props to you the amount of editing and the quality of this video is unreal glad i see this now, great work bro i hope i get to see more of this quality content from you.
Did you ever try out the flamethrower shield? I think it's called the Visage Shield. Also, the Crimsonwhorl Bubbletear heals you when you take elemental damage, which might have made Rykard's lava a bit more bearable.
Haven't been able to play Strixhaven yet, but my DM has promised to run either a Spelljammer or Strixhaven campaign once exam season is over, so I'm looking forward to that.
Your videos have been a huge inspiration to me and gave me the courage to try out my own channel. I love your content and I wish there was more like it, so I hope to help bring it :). Insane video, can’t believe shields are as op in this game as they are, and that vow isn’t more widely used
CJ still strangely fitting into these games (It must be the lighting)
Thanks again to @dr0poff for the CJ mod.
is the cj mod naked or an armorset?
Conveniently it is an armor set replacer, which was much appreciated from the mod author.
Standard Vagabond armor set. If you are curious.
@@Be_And I have to know. What is CJ's poise and negation against holy damage?
Cj, the fucking god in all Souls
Brother please show us how to install and use this mod
Instead of two doors, now we get one splintery-ass door, and it's legitimately an upgrade. Wild times, these are.
I can't wait for the supposed DLC to add paired shields.
_And make me redo the run. I will though, because I must._
@@Be_AndThat’s because you’re a human bean and a real hero.

@@joshuagraham5750 we can't expect God to do all the work.
@@Be_Andwe are getting a dueling shield according to the trailer
All elden ring challenge videos can be instantly improved with CJ mods
CJ makes anything better
The thing is, he used cj in another shields only challenge, ds2 specificly
He uses CJ on basically everything he can fit him in
@@Gridxyzand ds3
Be And: *uploads an almost hour long video*
Me, 5 minutes before work: I’ve got time
That damage on Fortissax with the gun shield literally made me say 'what the fuck' out loud lmao
Same reaction on my end, did not think it would be that busted.
_Glad it was tho_

Always here to help, the utility was far too good for many bosses.
Slap it on the old Sword/Board combo and you're laughing through the game.
@@Be_And yeah that Malekith fight was fucking mental dude.
1:55 THE FRICKING OBLIVION REFERENCE
Amazingly done! Editing, sound, humor - all great! Not even speaking about gameplay, all those skips and bosses, top tier!
This is amazing, and the orchestral version of the Home Depot theme only makes it better. Also your strat for Godskin is insanely good

I hope you are prepared for the mental anguish that is Elden Beast
Something about Margit calling CJ a foul tarnished hits different
How tf did TH-cam take an entire day to show this in my feed. Thank you based god.
Always good to see you stop by champ.

"have you heard of the high elves?" Always gets me
that Soulja Boy 'YOOOOUUUU' got me, literally the first second of the video.

_It was extremely OP_
DS2 is the best one.
@@Be_And extremely agree
RIP the wavedash stamina trick. Shows you that this vid was in the works for a while
Didn't even notice till I was running through the Haligtree 💀
I waited for so long to watch it and it's like second taste of Elden Ring.
Glad to have you back, king
‘I require you strongest potions’ and ‘health, strength, endurance’ references top notch
3:06 oh man! Cant believe i forgot abt this song! Ty so much for including it!
As always, impeccable music choice to back up your awesome editing
Listen here, you need to stop making such good videos before I binge watch your entire channel, you've been warned
I audibly sobbed the moment I saw a new Be And video in my recommended. Thank you
Love ymfah's videos, so I'm really glad I found you. Amazing video.
I watched the buckler on Radahn over and over, truly rad

Mostly on principle, however 2 CJ's may have been too much.
TBH I tried it and it was too busted lmao
vow of the indomitable is so impressive to use! It's the first time I see someone using it that often and it looks so cool! Really nice vid!
Love your videos man. You have a great style and sense of humor for them! Watched your Level 1 Guide and fell in love with the channel. Please keep making cool souls videos :)
Plan to do so, thanks for the kind words!
Back at it again dude. I love your content. Makes me want to try some of these challenge runs myself.
I did a "powerstance" jar shield run before (can't actually powerstance shields sadly), one was fire affinity and the other was frost, dual wielding and alternating strikes to proc frost build up then cleansing it with the fire one. It was pretty fun!
Shaq's Icy Hot build, _"Ice works fast, the heat makes it last."_
You seriously make the best Elden Ring videos. Every time man.
The faint beatboxing in the back during the Ave Maria Rykard bit kills me.
this is my new "im playing and i dont like the silence on this game" channel, luv u
The effort you put into your runs and editing always impresses. Thank you for another great video!
Every upload of yours makes my day infinitely better. God bless your heart Bean'd.
Literally love your use of the map when showing off locations. Very helpful
The Erdtree Greatshield is also great to use against the draconic sentinel's fire ball attack.
It lets the sentinel get a taste of their own spam medicine.
i also ended up using the one eyed shield for malenia. by far the hardest boss for me. maybe i'll do the run again once the dlc drops
The video was fantastic already, but the music selection was on point. Don't think I didn't notice Orchestrated Home Depot. Well done.
Love the RDR music choice!
Brings me back to 2011-2012 free roam days
bro the "wait thats illegal" pause on that throw had me fucking howling 10/10
The Man, the legend is back!
bro props to you the amount of editing and the quality of this video is unreal glad i see this now, great work bro i hope i get to see more of this quality content from you.
Can I just say you really do papa ymfah justice with these videos.
Was that the home depot theme at 33:30
🤣
I fucking love your videos. Ridiculously underrated - top tier content and everyone sleeping on my boy here, smh my head
CJ makin his epic comeback like a boss!
Im so happy he’s returned though fr fr
THE INTRO WAS SO WELL EDITED
I really needed this to brighten my day. Thanks for the upload champ.
Literally exactly like ymfah. I love this.
Great video! I hear Travis Strikes Again Music and it’s an instant like lol
oh man how much ive been waiting for this
I just hope that either in the dlc or their next game they give different sized Shields an actual moveset and the ability to be powerstanced.
That one sheild summon:
BOMBS AWAY
Me enjoying that u can use that but then me seeing that:
NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO
CJ on its way to godhood for the 70th time
Hope you have a good year and continue the great job
It’s here, and the OP already got me satisfied
I never thought I would be so entertained with a CCd eldin ring video lol
The shields are back in action and better than ever babyyyyyyy.
Excelent video!!! Vow of swag coming in clutch!
This is probably one of the most fun challenge run I've ever watched. Honestly better than ymfah ER vids. Bravo Be And.
Feels illegal to be this early to a master piece .
Amazing videos, your editing style is god-tier❤️
ooh i been waiting for another one of your vids. god bless
Finally I’m watching this straight away thanks for posting!🎉
There he is!
very Epic video !!! i love video editing plus everything else, good choices
Amazing work, as always. Guess it's time to give this run a try for myself.
Did you ever try out the flamethrower shield? I think it's called the Visage Shield.
Also, the Crimsonwhorl Bubbletear heals you when you take elemental damage, which might have made Rykard's lava a bit more bearable.
i cant stop watching your videos
Your defense, extraordinary...
That Morgott fight was incredible
Just finished nioh 2 the other day so hearing its ost was quite surprising.
Banger video as always
Edit:wtf even judgement music, nice
_ah shit here we go again_
music is on fuckin' POINT, my man
you never fail to deliver stellar videos about the dumbest shit
The song that starts 2:15 is a fuggin slap
This is crazy man, I love your content
22:11 This fight can be summed up as “I picked the wrong house, fool!”
I felt that when I heard Iroh singing.
Truly emotional 😭
Amazing work on this video worth the wait looking forward to the next video so much respect to you mate
Man you nailed the music, fucking love these tracks
Everything you upload I abandon my new born child in a stairway with a bottle of gin and a ciggy while I watch your vids, good job!
Haven't been able to play Strixhaven yet, but my DM has promised to run either a Spelljammer or Strixhaven campaign once exam season is over, so I'm looking forward to that.
Once again my favourite anime mc CJ god of the shields is back
Well, this is such inspirational.
Other people: one hour? Who's got time for that?
Be and enjoyer: oh boy only 53:27
I will never let long-form content die, also you dropped this king 👑.
@@Be_And why would I deserve that?

the fuckin orchestral home depot music at 33:40 really caught me off guard lmao
this run is so sweet, can't believe I've only seen it now wth me
Ok now THIS is epic
Dam a min in and I was not ready
1:09 I was not ready😂😂
