For the Morgott fight did you consider using weapons like the Tree Spear, Giant Crusher, and Erdsteel Dagger or were you trying to just use remembrances only?
@@DoomWolfOfficial Speaking of which you know Renala uses the regular Comet spell (although it appears she can insta-cast it fully charged) and I'm surprised you didn't use alot of other spells in Gideons' arsenal, though he's an easy fight so it really didn't matter.
@@DoomWolfOfficial also Morgott’s Cursed blade’s AoW is a two input move. Just press L2 twice, it also comes out pretty fast. With shard of Alexander and fire scorpion charm it does crazy damage.
14:56 They also buffed the Axe of Godfrey and made it be affected by the Roar Medallion allowing you to boost the damage of the AoW even more in the lastest update (1.07).
@@DoomWolfOfficial Scarlett Aoenia also got a buff and I use it myself now. Your not stuck inside the cast the entire time AND it leaves its' aoe for abit after you do! Scarlett Aoenia > Rot Breath Btw if you ever use the Crucible Knight stuff again all but the breath incantation got buffed or sped up abit.
The moon from Majora's Mask was a nice touch. Genuinely laughed the first time and got a consistent chuckle seeing it as your spell in the bottom left.
6:48 side note, I *love* Loretta's Warscythe. It's moveset is so fun, and it's ash of war has great poise for just powering through to get damage in. I wish we more polearms with similar movesets. (Yes I know about the swordspear)
I did enjoy it, I would never have used it prior to a run like this but that's part of why i did it, to try out some weapons I would otherwise never use
I don't know this for sure, but I think greatrunes are lost when you go into a NG+ cycle, right? and you have to get them back from the boss? I might be wrong, tbh I never use great runes lol
@@DoomWolfOfficial never beaten the game yet myself so I wouldn’t know😅. It would make sense though since you would be able to just go to Leyndell immediately.
Just a precision about Regal Omen Bairn : Not only its pathing is excellent, but it's range is pretty crazy, you can pull the bird from the blood palace farm spot with it, saving you the arrows. You can also use it to have an easier time targeting the Fire Giant's hands on its second phase. It scales with both Int and Fai, Holy dmg modifiers and the Omen set. Now, I'm not saying it's a great item worth creating a build around, but it can be pretty damn useful in certain situations.
Ahhhh bro I’m so stoked to watch this! You’re definitely it the top echelons of fromsoft challenge runners. You’re up with lilaggy, press Continue, barons castle, backlogs ect ect. I’m super grateful for you well made and entertaining videos. Glad u got a sponsor
Hey thanks! Lilaggy, press continue, Baron's Castle, and the backlogs are all challenge runners I watch and the inspiration for me starting challenge runs at all, so hearing you say that. Feels good, thank you my friend :)
I'm so happy that you got a sponsorship. I've been watching your channel for a while now and I gotta say, your videos are awesome. You have the time and patience to make a subtitle, which helps me because I'm Brazilian and even though I consider myself pretty good at English, I'm not perfect. And this subtitles really help me understand some words and/or phrases. Beyond that, your content is amazing, and the humour is just on point. Keep doing the great work.
thanks, I was so surprised when Raid approached me haha Based on this message I think you're English is pretty good :) I do my best to make the subtitles because all the names and such don't translate right when speaking (my favorite is in Dark Souls it will hear "Quelaag" and think it is "Quail egg" lol)
You should have done Godrick with dual wielding Axe and Dragon, it would be so much fun. The dragon on offhand actually get priority on its ash of war just like a shield does. So you hit hard with axe and when you have opening you could charge the dragon at his face.
Good Idea and very good take on it. But what about a Predator Run. Assassins Approach and Darkness for the Invisibility, the Raptor Talons as the Wristblades, the Pike as the Combistick and the Jar Cannon as the Shoulder Cannon ;)
I have no idea how this guy only has 29k subs! You made my day i watched almost all of your elden ring videos as soon as i discovered your channel! Thanks for the great content! You keep it up
Writing this while watching the video: 1. 1:14 Congrats on getting a sponsorship! 2. 8:49 Guess it‘s gonna be the beastclaw seal, or Gurranqs dagger. 3. 10:46 I still have not done fire giant without any passive poison/frostbite/bleed/rot buildups, cause it must be such a pain right? How long does a Fire giant normally take when you don’t do percentage damage? 4. 13:24 Hey, I was right! I actually also forget that weapon every time and the only reason I remembered it now is due to me having it as a starting weapon on a randomizer. 5. 15:51 Kinda sad that regal ancestor is so underwhelming. He has a beautiful theme and I would have loved if his regal form went absolutely haywire crazy, unlike the normal one. Such a wasted opportunity. 6. 16:34 Oh wait. I thought it was „forgot to use“, not „forgot to get“. Bruh. 7. 21:09 Gotta say though, the forttisax lightening spell looks absolutely stunning. Even if it’s not doing lots of damage here… 8. 25:43 Great Video, great editing, already looking forward tongue next one. I also really appreciate how, for example with the full moon spell, you take the time to just edit in another icon for it, even though you didn’t have to. Have a good day, cheers!
Did you forget Morgotts sword has a follow up on the ash of war, or was that just not recorded? Maybe that’s why you were underwhelmed with it. It’s actually a true combo against player sized enemies
More like it's because it requires extensive arcane investment for the bleed to be comparable to other weapons. And same goes to the Dex scaling. Honestly this run would've been better if someone realized one could just take as many larval tears as possible and respec every major boss. There's enough of them for that in a single playthrough, let alone 3.
@@DoomWolfOfficialobviously not a problem with the run since it makes it harder but you probably should have put at least 40 into arcane by respecing since it wouldn't be against the rules
There is a very, VERY big difference between fighting bosses in a proper Mirror Match, and only being allowed to use the weapons the boss *drops* against them. If you're fighting as a Ditto, you're fighting a Mirror Match, and so you're allowed to use the Commander's Standard against Niall, because he also uses the Commander's Standard. However, in your off-hand, you also get to use his Prosthetic Leg.
I remember the first time I got the Hand of Malenia I was so hyped to test out the AoW... then I got smacked out of the air like a fly and tumbled off a cliff. Safe to say I never used it again.
Yeah, I mean if you couldn't be knocked out of it or parried it might be a touch too strong, but it's definitely a case of the boss version being way cooler haha
I also wanted to let you know is if you help the giant jar in caelid he’ll give you a talisman that greatly increases equip load like maleikith armor being medium load
Pretty dope videos. The title makes it more entertaining to watch because like with the “easy mode” ds1 video I probably wouldn’t have clicked if it was just “sorcery only build” keep it up bro
You know of all the challenge runner I have seen only 3 people I enjoy watching: You, Dante ravioli, and the other one!!! Keep up the good work king!!!
I remember in ds2 cheaters had an armour/ weapon matching ditto like feature. They would invade you, visually cycle through all kinds of armours until they matched you and used the same weapons and armour.
Had a thought of a challenge run this morning. Melina says "May I turn your runes into strength" when you level with her so...what if we made that literal? A run where you're free to use whatever weapons/armor/spells/etc. that you want, BUT you can *only level up strength*. Armor or talismans that boost other stats are allowed, just as long as you exclusively level up strength using your runes. Would be really interesting to see how that would effect things like starting class for what minimum stat requirements they can hit, and what you choose for your loadout under this rule since stuff like the +5 talismans, some of the armor, and Godrick's great rune do allow for some flexibility
I find that Waterfowl Dance is extremely useful against low poise enemies. But the thing that makes me love this ash of war is that you can use it to enter a room if you fear that an imp or something else will attack you by surprise.
Some tips for your list. You could definitely fit in staring into the abyss, solving world hunger (and telling no one), and wrestling with self loathing between Dinner with Self and Sponsorship.
hey doom if you want to use the grafted dragon, (which is probably top 3 remembrance weapons), all you need to know, is POISE DAMAGE. looking at the stamina consumption, you can spam fairly fast charged heavies to stance break most bosses in like 5 hits
Honestly I find whips quite fun. Giant’s Red Braid in particular is quite neat. Just not for the fire resistant boss 😂 I also love Mogh’s Spear. One of my favorite weapons.
Whips weren't that bad, just underwhelming compared to other options haha really? I didn't like Mogh's spear much, but I think that's because I don't like the moveset haha
Morgotts cursed sword is on of the best weapons in the game. The fire giant incantation is also really good for pvp, and the fire giant whip is pretty good. Mohgs spear is really good.
Maybe my issue with the cursed sword was jsut that it was NG+4 so it didn't feel that string. I don't PvP so I don't know about burn o flame The whip is good _for a whip_ I feel haha And the spear...really? Idk my friend I didn't enjoy it myself haha
@@DoomWolfOfficial you need the right build. Morgotts cursed sword does 700 damage and applies bleed in a few hits, and the ash of war is insane cause of its poise damage and deceiving looks. The whip is really good cause if it’s nice range and good damage but is not very good against shields. The spear does insane damage and it’s ash of war applies bleed really fast.
Yo doom I absolutely love your videos it’s awesome and fun to watch plus I learn something new about the game every time I watch your vids Keep up the good work and stay awesome ❤
Thundercloud Form is also very strong. Also, heavy thrusting swords do have 1 or 2 sweeping attacks. The problem is one is the 4th hit of the light attack combo. Sacred Relic Sword is my favorite weapon cause huge aoe.
Wing of Astel would have helped with you forgetting Bastard Stars, and you could have also used the Clawmark Seal + beast sorceries for phase 1 Maliketh
The grafted dragon is made to be an off hand weapon as it overrides the ash of war of your main hand so you the ash of war and and the quick left hand jabs from it while being able to use a one hand move set of any weapon in in your right
I guess that makes sense, but i feel like that would actually just drive it's utility way down? like, it doesn't have the full fist weapon moveset, and it's regulated to only being in your left. interesting
Godfrey's ash of war should instantly stun all enemies with the roar at the beginning to stop them from attacking if you use it at the right time, and then when you do the stomp, you get mad poise so that it's harder to get knocked out of the attack. It would still be bad against bosses but that doesn't matter
Hand of Malenia is actually really good if you buff it with Millicent's Prosthesis, Winged/ Rotten Winged Sword Insignia, and various dex/successive attack-based Physik Tears
As someone who has only ever fought the mimic tear fists only, I can only recommend it if you have an hour to kill and are in a voice call with friends
I tried it (bearing in mind I have only ever played the game casually aside from mimic tear) and I gave up at margit as I managed to survive 15 minutes against them but only did about 10 percent of their health when i ran out of heals despite maxing them out for what I had access to and using them very sparingly
Rewatching this after the DLC, Since you mentioned the Thor run, any chance we could see a continuation of that with a Lightning infused Smithscrip Great hammer? It looks like a more accurate Mjolnir, AND you can yeet the thing and have it come back so you can Unga, then Bunga and then Yeet
For my first playthrough I hated heavy rolling so much that I leveled endurance to the point that I could medium roll in Malekiths armor and other heavy armors. Played it with the godskin greatsword. Fun, but probably a bit... wrong
I could have but I knew at least one person would comment saying that ;) (jk, I'm just an idiot who didn't think about that until I was well past the recording stage haha)
fun fact , the dragon hand is made to be used left hand. Because when you use another fist weapon on the right side you can still use the dragon grafted hash of war and you can still powerstance both. Idk why EVERYONE try to use it on the right hand but it's not meant for that , read the weapon it's written on it ^^ . I did a fist run with it on the left side and it's amazing , let you have a buf hash of war on the right hand and a combat hash of war once you equip the dragon head.
cool! i used it a bit in my rip and tear run, still didn't find it useful lol I mean the ash of war _can_ hit pretty hard if the thing stays in it, but I think other fist weapons serve the damage better myself
Hoarah Loux’s Earthshaker is actually an S-tier Ash on STR builds. The scream staggers any small-medium sized mob and the damage (both physical and poise) is disgusting. Don’t do the second part unless you’re super sure you can get it off though, you will get your cheeks clapped.
Morggots sword is a really really powerful weapon. The damage i was doing with it was incredible but i think that was because of the built i went for. Its L2 attack does a lot of damage as well. I faught Godfrey with this weapon and because it was so good i didnt know Godfrey was supposed to be a tough boss. I beat him on my first try within only a short time. I used it from this point till i finished the game and beat malenia with it as well. I guess it was different for you because of the stats you have
I've never thought Godfrey was a tough boss myself, but he is a damn good one lol, yeah, not having stats built around the weapon (and being in NG+4) def didn't help lol
I wonder if for the Regal Ancestor Spirit, would the ancestral follower summon be allowed? It drops from the regular Ancestor Spirit, but in general the followers are pretty tightly tied to the spirit, and it technically drops for a version of the boss that doesn't drop a remembrance. So would it be allowed?
Well stricky speaking no because it isn't a boss rememberance, but because I messed up the Astel fight and had to do it on not rememberane Astel, sure lol
Whips suck you say? When whips only run I say In all seriousness I had a lot of fun doing a whips build on my playthrough, and they can be alright because of the range, and powerstanced are good against groups. After getting to the mountaintops though... yeah, not too good. The Urumi is also a rare S scaling weapon though when using Keen infusion.
It's been a while since I did this run but I don't recall summoning anything? Also looking at the time stamp it's...referencing the damage? I was in NG+4 lol
@@DoomWolfOfficial I might have to redo my fight against Radahn because I did summon most of them. I've only beat him once during a solo all rememberances run and his moveset gave me a bit of trouble.

How dare you not make Radahn a more proper ditto fight by using your own horse. His horse is just as worthy of being ditto'd as himself!
Ya know what, that's the most fair argument haha
I think the only thing missing is equipping the great runes of the bosses that have them. Otherwise this was a treat to watch during work hours.

Me, who finished my very first playthrough at level 240: 😰
... I'm bad at the game, I will not claim otherwise.
240 would probably be a good level for a full explore first playthrough, I just bash my head against the wall of bosses too many times :P

Honestly I find whips quite fun. Giant’s Red Braid in particular is quite neat. Just not for the fire resistant boss 😂
I also love Mogh’s Spear. One of my favorite weapons.
Whips weren't that bad, just underwhelming compared to other options haha
really? I didn't like Mogh's spear much, but I think that's because I don't like the moveset haha
I love the moon in the spell slot 😂😂
lol thanks, i thought it was a nice touch
Ok the bit at 1:11 killed me you got a subscriber xD
I couldn't cancel it again! Glad you laughed :)
Morgotts cursed sword is on of the best weapons in the game. The fire giant incantation is also really good for pvp, and the fire giant whip is pretty good. Mohgs spear is really good.
Maybe my issue with the cursed sword was jsut that it was NG+4 so it didn't feel that string.
I don't PvP so I don't know about burn o flame
The whip is good _for a whip_ I feel haha
And the spear...really? Idk my friend I didn't enjoy it myself haha
@@DoomWolfOfficial you need the right build. Morgotts cursed sword does 700 damage and applies bleed in a few hits, and the ash of war is insane cause of its poise damage and deceiving looks. The whip is really good cause if it’s nice range and good damage but is not very good against shields. The spear does insane damage and it’s ash of war applies bleed really fast.
The majora’s Mask Moon got me remembering some good times and bad time. Thx you so much man for that laugh 😂😂😂
When I was editing that in I was laughing to myself, glad you also enjoyed it :)
Yo doom
I absolutely love your videos it’s awesome and fun to watch plus I learn something new about the game every time I watch your vids
Keep up the good work and stay awesome ❤
Thanks! Glad you like them :)
👍👍
So happy you got a sponsor your a smaller channel so this is good love ya man👍
Thanks my friend, I was surprised when Raid reached out, but it was fun :)
9:36 absolutely loved this reference
Thanks, glad you liked it lol
Thundercloud Form is also very strong. Also, heavy thrusting swords do have 1 or 2 sweeping attacks. The problem is one is the 4th hit of the light attack combo.
Sacred Relic Sword is my favorite weapon cause huge aoe.
I like thunder cloud form, I'm guessing I didn't use it here lol, but it's one of the cooler ashes of war
Awesome video. This was one of the best challenge run ideas I’ve seen so far
Thanks! It was a lot of fun getting to use various different weapons :)
Margotts cursed sword is crazy with appropriate arcane. Power stance with bleed omen killer sword and you shred any boss who can take bleed.
I bet! by itself it was...just mid for me haha but with the right stats, talismans, and buffs I bet it can be great!
@@DoomWolfOfficial yeah fs, thanks for the video. Well produced and all that good stuff. You’ve earned yourself a loyal viewer 🫡
a very useful thing for procing bleed on great spears is the running r2. It has several weak hits, each of which add bleed buildup.
That's true, many hits in a small time ate key to procing things lol
1:12 I love that Grinch reference!
Glad you got it :)
Wing of Astel would have helped with you forgetting Bastard Stars, and you could have also used the Clawmark Seal + beast sorceries for phase 1 Maliketh
it would have, I just wanted to use bastard stars lol, and yeah, but that's not the rememberance of Maliketh so I didn't use it
The grafted dragon is made to be an off hand weapon as it overrides the ash of war of your main hand so you the ash of war and and the quick left hand jabs from it while being able to use a one hand move set of any weapon in in your right
I guess that makes sense, but i feel like that would actually just drive it's utility way down? like, it doesn't have the full fist weapon moveset, and it's regulated to only being in your left. interesting
this is the best idea for an elden ring playthrough that ive ever seen
Thanks, it was a lot of fun to do, I don't normally get to try so many different weapons haha
Godskin duo are absolute dps monsters. They are one of, if not even the only boss with a good chance of beating Malenia.
I bet Malenia wouldn't be able to poise through the rolling attack lol, that would be funny to watch
I remember firin mah lazer, young man.
don't worry, we can yell at kids to get off our lawn together lol
Love this idea. You should try it with the other souls games.
maybe I will! haha it was a fun run :)
@@DoomWolfOfficial looking forward to it if you decide to do it!
Godfrey's ash of war should instantly stun all enemies with the roar at the beginning to stop them from attacking if you use it at the right time, and then when you do the stomp, you get mad poise so that it's harder to get knocked out of the attack. It would still be bad against bosses but that doesn't matter
That would be pretty nice, give it some more utility
11:02 you used horse, Fire Giant has no horse.
ya know what...ya got me there lol
Personally to me i think hoarah loux's earth shaker is stupid good. I can get some chunky damage off of it
it's possible that my results were just because I was in NG+4 lol
Hand of Malenia is actually really good if you buff it with Millicent's Prosthesis, Winged/ Rotten Winged Sword Insignia, and various dex/successive attack-based Physik Tears
Oh 100%, I don't recall what I did in this run but there have been a couple where I stack them for absolutely cracked damage
As someone who has only ever fought the mimic tear fists only, I can only recommend it if you have an hour to kill and are in a voice call with friends
This does not give me hope for the fist only run lol
I tried it (bearing in mind I have only ever played the game casually aside from mimic tear) and I gave up at margit as I managed to survive 15 minutes against them but only did about 10 percent of their health when i ran out of heals despite maxing them out for what I had access to and using them very sparingly
Keep these challenges up man
I'll do my best!
Hoarah Loux's Earthshaker is the best Ash of War to deal with BHS and Ashes of War spammers. It has a long build-up but it's definitely not bad.
I see thanks for the insight! I have never PvPed in this game so I did not know that lmao
20:00 yes I remember that meme my friend said it like every day in elementary school a decade ago lmao
The good ol days lol
Rewatching this after the DLC, Since you mentioned the Thor run, any chance we could see a continuation of that with a Lightning infused Smithscrip Great hammer? It looks like a more accurate Mjolnir, AND you can yeet the thing and have it come back so you can Unga, then Bunga and then Yeet
I wouldn't mind using that hammer, and putting lightening on it seems like a no brainer thematically haha
@DoomWolfOfficial It's super fun to use. Watching most small mobs get knocked ass over teakettle never gets old. It's bonk but with range
For my first playthrough I hated heavy rolling so much that I leveled endurance to the point that I could medium roll in Malekiths armor and other heavy armors. Played it with the godskin greatsword. Fun, but probably a bit... wrong
not wrong as long as you had fun my friend :)
BTW for the radahan and malformed draconic tree sentiment fights and so on you could've used the jar arsenal charm instead of the normal one
Very true! ...I could not be bothered to go get it lol. But that is correct
10/10 video, shoulda called it beating Elden Ring as a Mimic Tear though, still good
I could have but I knew at least one person would comment saying that ;) (jk, I'm just an idiot who didn't think about that until I was well past the recording stage haha)
I love when you used the photoshop on Rykard’s remembrance! Dude, you crack me up! 😂
lol thanks, I try to make it comedic when I need to use the spear
@@DoomWolfOfficial well, it works :)💜
The actual debuff of the winged greathorn lasts a lot longer than 10 seconds. The cloud that inflicts the debuff is what only lasts 10 seconds
I would hope so lol
Heyyy!
Congratulations on the sponsorship! It's been so cool to watch your channel grow.
Thanks, it's been a fun ride, i'll keep working to make the videos better and better!
You forgot the flame of the fell god on the fire giant. Still great video tho
I didn't forget it, I just didn't use it lol
@@DoomWolfOfficial oh
fun fact , the dragon hand is made to be used left hand. Because when you use another fist weapon on the right side you can still use the dragon grafted hash of war and you can still powerstance both. Idk why EVERYONE try to use it on the right hand but it's not meant for that , read the weapon it's written on it ^^ . I did a fist run with it on the left side and it's amazing , let you have a buf hash of war on the right hand and a combat hash of war once you equip the dragon head.
cool! i used it a bit in my rip and tear run, still didn't find it useful lol
I mean the ash of war _can_ hit pretty hard if the thing stays in it, but I think other fist weapons serve the damage better myself
Earth shaker on a strength build in pvp is the real goat 👌
A few people have mentioned this, I don't PvP but I can see it
Hoarah Loux’s Earthshaker is actually an S-tier Ash on STR builds. The scream staggers any small-medium sized mob and the damage (both physical and poise) is disgusting. Don’t do the second part unless you’re super sure you can get it off though, you will get your cheeks clapped.
I suppose it would be pretty chunky for regular mobs, but for bosses not so much lol
Amazing video, clicked as fast as I saw 👀✨
Thanks, glad you liked it :)
Morggots sword is a really really powerful weapon. The damage i was doing with it was incredible but i think that was because of the built i went for. Its L2 attack does a lot of damage as well. I faught Godfrey with this weapon and because it was so good i didnt know Godfrey was supposed to be a tough boss. I beat him on my first try within only a short time. I used it from this point till i finished the game and beat malenia with it as well. I guess it was different for you because of the stats you have
I've never thought Godfrey was a tough boss myself, but he is a damn good one lol, yeah, not having stats built around the weapon (and being in NG+4) def didn't help lol
Subscribing before you blow up. It's honestly criminal you don't have millions of subscribers, you're super entertaining.
Haha thanks, I'm glad you enjoy the videos :)
I Love this Channel man, You Definitely deserve more Subs.
Thanks, glad you like the videos :)
Just the intro alone is pure gold XD
Thanks! I try to make a funny intro, it's possibly my favorite part of all my videos lol
I wonder if for the Regal Ancestor Spirit, would the ancestral follower summon be allowed? It drops from the regular Ancestor Spirit, but in general the followers are pretty tightly tied to the spirit, and it technically drops for a version of the boss that doesn't drop a remembrance. So would it be allowed?
Well stricky speaking no because it isn't a boss rememberance, but because I messed up the Astel fight and had to do it on not rememberane Astel, sure lol
Fun fact: winged greathorn's ash of war is a debuf to enemies that make them take 15% extra damage
true! at least in death the ancestor spirit is worth something lmao
21:15 “one has death in the name” lol
That makes it cool!
That beginning was perfect😂😂😂.
glad you liked it haha
Your list at the beginning made me laugh, was the dinner with self a grinch reference?
I'm glad you laughed, and yes it was! haha
Whips suck you say?
When whips only run I say
In all seriousness I had a lot of fun doing a whips build on my playthrough, and they can be alright because of the range, and powerstanced are good against groups.
After getting to the mountaintops though... yeah, not too good.
The Urumi is also a rare S scaling weapon though when using Keen infusion.
Whip run when? do I have a surprise for you lol
I look forward to the pain
Absolutely love the grinch list reference. Had be laughing so hard
I'm glad you enjoyed it my friend :)
9:55 he doesnt know that if he presses a second time the ash of war does a second strike and therefore more damage and bleed
I do, I just didn't include that in the recording because I couldn't think of something funny to say in the script lol
07:50 makes me think he summoned all the festival goers 🕵️♂️
It's been a while since I did this run but I don't recall summoning anything?
Also looking at the time stamp it's...referencing the damage? I was in NG+4 lol
@@DoomWolfOfficial I might have to redo my fight against Radahn because I did summon most of them. I've only beat him once during a solo all rememberances run and his moveset gave me a bit of trouble.
I do remember that after spamming nebula at Gideon he rolled away and swung his hammer. First time I've ever seen him do that
It seems he forgets he actually has a melee weapon haha
You get the gimmick spear for Rykard in NG by doing the volcano manor quests and talking to a ghost.
You don't even need to do that, the spears just in the boss room regardless of how you get there
