    This challenge was a good balance of fun and pain. The other Elden Ring ideas I'm contemplating at the moment are "Beating Elden Ring the way Miyazaki Intended" which would be an RL1 foot only run where I rush to the dlc and get the martial arts weapon to use only kicking attacks with and "Elden Ring but I move in Slow Motion" where I would leave all enemies at normal speed but halve the speed of my character... those might be too hard though lol.

      Considering an "Elden Ring as Miyazaki Intended" run where I'm RL1, can only use kick attacks, and can't wear any shoes. I'd rush Mohg, kill him... somehow, grab the dry leaf arts and only use the kick attacks. Iirc, only the sprinting and jumping heavies when using it with both hands, but also the charged heavy when using it with one

    @sythrus Месяц назад +2

    If you want to do a theme build, may i recommend doing a dragon themed playthrough?
    You get an amazing seal for it at the very beginning of the game, and can do absolutely insane damage with the dragon communion spells (albeit the breath attacks can be a tad bit mana inefficient).
    Also there are the dragon cult incantations, which is basically everything lightning based.
    Only problem is can see is that dragon themed armours tend to be lategame stuff, and i dont know if you can get any of the dragon themed weapons without fighting (you may be able to get lightning strike if the scarab that holds it is close enough to a cliff, not sure).
    The dlc also has some cool as hell stuff for dragon themed spells, with the rock heart and priestess heart literally turning you into a dragon and buffing dragon communion and dragon cult spells respectively.

    • @sythrus
      @sythrus Месяц назад +1

      Wait, just realized that technically the communion seal counts as a dragon weapon, so you can just punch things with it until you get the appropriate spells/weapons
      Also you dont need to get your hands dirty with killing the guy that has the seal, you can have him get run over fairly reliably

    I really like this video. I like Elden ring and watching you play this challenge was really fun! No reall challenge ideas from me but I’d love to see some more when you want to make them!

    Malenia is one of the only fights where when I fail, I don't blame the shit hitboxes or the poorly telegraphed moves, I blame myself, because this fight is hard, but fair

    yknow its actually refreshing seeing someone make a challenge run while not being insanely good at the game

    A bit late now, but the summonable Crystalian uses a ringblade, so if you were going to allow the finger, he should have been fair game as well

    9:00 You can just go back a little to the boulder rolling down the slope and let the boulder kill them.

    Please make a Campaign with the Woodelfes, where you only use animals (no riders, exept the heroe, where i would use the sisters)
