the reason why swarm of bees did so much damage to fire giant in the second phase is because phase 1 and 2 giant are 2 different NPCs so phase 2 fire giant has not built any bleed resistance yet
Also, if im not mistaken, the fire giants eye in the middle is a weak spot, and he was locked onto the eye, so al of those swarms were hitting the eyeball.
Blood talons are actually insane against big slow bosses with high poise. Big bleed build up and massive poise damage for how fast and spammable it is. Works wonders against theodorix lol. Not bad fire damage as well.
@@sayzin u should and use double slash as ash of war its insane its a early ash but it does well double slash but if u keep pressing it its actually a 5 hit combo and its so good and whit a bleed sword its just insane then add the blood flame that makes bleed build up automatically using it now and only problem i have is stone enemies my god they are annoying
Fun fact: my first playthrough was Arcane and Swarm of flies was the only thing I used to kill the final 3. Elden beast I used pest threads, but Malaketh, Godfrey, and Radagon, flies. Malenia, too. FLIES!
I think the reason why Morgot takes so much more bleed damage than Margit is because he's an actual, living person. Margit and Mogh are both projections, not actual Omens. So, sort of like ghosts, but not entirely. Edit: Mogh in the sewers, not the actual Mogh.
Btw I know this is 3 months old but you can legit just leave the invasions, and it counts. Just use that finger that allows you to leave the invaded domain and ez pz.
I understand if you don't want to punch the blood flame blade scarab to start this challenge off. But its really confusing watching you talk about defeating shardbearers when an option you showed earlier is avaliable so easily
I loved the run. Totally agree with using a summon for the Fake Mohg fight. But I find it a little redundant how you left a third of your arsenal behind until the last fight
Your voice is just perfect to play one of the skyrim hold guards. Have you ever thought about cosplaying? Because with that voice that would be your perfect cosplay. Literally when I see your videos I close my eyes and imagine a skyrim hold guard doing a gameplay
@@tototriceps I don't know if you've played Skyrim but your accent is exactly the same as the city guards in Skyrim. Putting on your helmet and armor you don't have to do anything but talk and you're the perfect Skyrim city guard. Could you say this phrase in one of your videos?: "I used to be an adventurer like you. Then I took an arrow to the knee..."
@@tototriceps dude you totally should !! !! Love the content btw ! The souls games are near and dear to me... DS1, 2, and 3 beaten multiple times. I own all the content and ofc ELDEN RING 🤩🤩 Keep it up man!!! And you should totally... totally consider voicing acting for video games !! :D
Great job :) You probably already know this, but I THINK the more you proc a status effect, the harder it gets to do it again to the same enemy. It's like they build up a tolerance to it.
The hardest part of DTS is his god damn lighting bolt. it took me 3 tries to get the hang of its timing, it was like the lighting bolt of the dragon from sekiro if you didnt use the reflect art.
Me: Wow the Dragon Communion Seal scales with arcane and makes spells actually scale to the stat? Oh boy I can't wait to make a bad ass Faith/Arcane build- *Finds out Bloodflame blade has 0 arcane scaling as does several weapons in the game* Me: Oh...
Man I did a run where I did a different type of incantation for each area. These destroyed the mountain tops bosses aside from the deathbird who I didn’t even try.
I originally found you on my recommended videos on the home page, and only after a couple days of watching your videos did I realize you're from Croatia (or I assume from the thumbnail). Zivio sam davno ja u Sarajevu. Pozdrav iz USA! Bas cool kako sam te slucajno nasao, svi ostali da gledam su englezi haha. I super su ti videos!
Nice video but could have gotten bloodboon a lot earlier, its a really good spell and would have helped a lot in cases where swarm of flies was too slow and bloodflame talons too close for comfort.
ahh bloodflame, the only school of incantations that can actually compete with Blackflame in terms of consistent reliability. low fp costs on all the spells low stat requirements on all the spells one of the best status' in the game and in very high numbers, easily one of the best armament spells in the game and can be applied to weapons that already apply bleed. Morningstar, spiked spear, naginata, ect all all amazing bloodflame talons are unironically underappreciated in terms of cast speed and combo if you use two seals, applies VERY high bleed proc and good fire damage swarm of flies.... HEY CLERICS YOU REMEMBER DORHYS GNAW FROM DARK SOULS 3!? YEAH LETS MAKE IT FIRE INSTEAD OF DARK DAMAGE and bloodflame spray, actually a really good shotgun spell and also have alot of reach but word to the wise if you want to make the best out of it, free aim that. grab yourself The Lord of Bloods Exhultation and the flock talismans, put on the fire scorpion charm, and grab your favorite bleed weapon with a rapid attack (I prefer wild strikes on a mornginstar), and boom you have a stupid strong build. if you're worried about cast speed swap the smaller flock talisman for radagon's seal, if you dont like the flock talismans just swap them for poise and resistance rings to make yourself hard to take down. also of course, flame grant me strength and golden vow work with these spells immensly well since they'll both buff the damage, you dont even need the GV spell since you can early on find it as an ash and put that on a dagger if you want. nab greyolls roar too fuck it! debuff the enemy at the same time YOU'RE ALREADY STATTING ARCANE AS A PROPHET!
wondering if you would do a league colab ? can you beat elden ring as a League of legends champion? For example Fiddlesticks : grave scythe, bleed/madness build Garen : claymore or Royal Greatsword/spining strikes art of war, holy/str build Trundle : troll knights greatsword or stone club, str/ice build Quinn : (any crossbow but fullmoon/pulley), bird summon, holy/archer build Sejuani : nightriderflail str/ice build (must be mounted whenever possible) Braum: visage or fingerprint shields only str/ice build Twitch : crossbow + posions and stealth tactics Annie : fire mage + rollo summon Shaco : dual Misericorde bleed/mimic tear build Shyvana : dual grafted dragons dragon/fire/str build -- theres so many more! -- i personally play fiddlesticks, so if you get invaded by a fiddlesticks its prolly me lol
Disable Godfrey's AI by jumping over the ledge. Ur gonna have to get on the first one and then jump around the railing thingy. Then when u get in, bro just stands still
I still don’t understand how bleed and fire are tied in together 🤔 could be a ‘hot blooded’ thing that I’m missing but nobody understands the mind of Miyazaki fully!
Because Mohg´s cursed blood is literally on fire as a result of Formless Mother´s "blessing". Which is why when we receive his "cess-blood" as part of Varre´s questline, our character screams out in pain. Mohg´s blood literally burns you from within your veins. Because Formless Mother is a sadomasochist deity, her blessing is constant pain to her worshippers through this cursed blood. You even see in Mohgwyn Mausoleum that every creature there from animals to unfortunate people, are in pain. It is also why most people who are subject to the Mohging treatment go totally bonkers and Varre was the only kidnapped war-surgeon that remained sane.
@@matiasluukkanen7718 I mean I understand Mogh’s flaming blood but stuff like Rivers of Blood and Eleonora’s Poleblade for example, 2 of the best bleed weapons in the game both do fire damage too. Just seems interesting how they’re tied together in a lot of weapons
@@albino5995 those two were servants of mohg, being bloody fingers. This is mentioned in their weapons’ descriptions. I assume mohg bestowed bloodflame power upon his more highly ranking bloody fingers.
What kind of challenge run would you like me to do next for Elden Ring?
Also check out my clips channel: bit.ly/TotoTricepsClips
Anything you want to do I know every video you release Is going to be master class of a video
Something relaxing - Only Jumping Attacks ;)
ghostflame run would be very cool
Is that even a challenge haha
@@tototriceps A relaxing challenge. Or "challenge", like Incantations only or Sorcery only
the reason why swarm of bees did so much damage to fire giant in the second phase is because phase 1 and 2 giant are 2 different NPCs so phase 2 fire giant has not built any bleed resistance yet
Still, the damage was crazyyyy
@@tototriceps the 2nd phase fire giant also has a larger health pool than the first phase fire giant, making the percentage health damage much higher
Swarm of flies
Also, if im not mistaken, the fire giants eye in the middle is a weak spot, and he was locked onto the eye, so al of those swarms were hitting the eyeball.
@@imsammy1343 I thought his hands were his weak spot lmfao
Holding a seal in each hand and alternating between them with blood flame talons is about twice as fast as using 1 seal
Yesss I use this
Not twice as fast at all. Like 10-20%
Yeah i know, its even better with beastial sling
Yeah its really not that fast at all...
@@robertpronk6297still good for incant builds
This man really saved 33% of his arsenal as the final boss
Blood talons are actually insane against big slow bosses with high poise. Big bleed build up and massive poise damage for how fast and spammable it is. Works wonders against theodorix lol. Not bad fire damage as well.
Gonna use it against malenia
Its Moghin Time
xD
Careful bro I'm pretty sure that's illegal in north america
He beat The alligations
Welcome honnor guest. To the birth place of our dynastii!
12:37
"Could you stop with the parkour nonsense" has me laughing my butt off😂
I was hoping you'd make an exception for Morgott's sword since the ash of war is a bloodflame attack
For these types of videos no weapons are allowed, they are not spells and they make things to easy :)
I enjoy Morgotts sword and Dual Weild it :)
@@clemprime7271 I have yet to actually use it but I really want to make a blood flame build and include it
@@sayzin yeah you should def try, his sword is so fun and the ash of war is amazing on regular enemies and malenia if you’re smart with it
@@sayzin u should and use double slash as ash of war its insane its a early ash but it does well double slash but if u keep pressing it its actually a 5 hit combo and its so good and whit a bleed sword its just insane then add the blood flame that makes bleed build up automatically using it now and only problem i have is stone enemies my god they are annoying
Next challenge: the Feces Run. Only things with references to excrement in their names and descriptions
That would be the dung eater playthrough haha
Bloodboon is my favorite spell in the game, so it's a shame it wasn't really feasible to get early.
Mohg was almost unkillable haha
It’s possible to get it by glitch killing mhog
Bloodflame talons has become one of my favorite incantations because I use a bloodloss flame so the amount of damage it does is broken.
The talons are so cool, we need more of these in the DLC
I'm so glad I got this video on my recommended, loved the format, the humor and your voice!
Thanks man, glad you liked it :D
This is awsome! Usually challenge runners arent this funny, I love this!
Didn't know how strong the blood flame spells were. Nice run.
Only on certain enemies, but they are cool.
Just a small correction: swarm of flies does fire daamge, flame grant me strength still works because it increases both physical and fire damage
Surprised you didn’t kill Esgar, he drops a talisman that would’ve been useful for this run.
Wasnt needed, the main problem are always Radagon & Elden Beast, and they are immune to bleed...
@@tototriceps Radagon is weak to fire though, so blood flame talon’s would’ve done a number on him.
@@fib900 he's neutral to fire, not weak. Enemies like Miranda Flowers and Malenia have a negative resistance to fire.
@@alastor8091 but he from all his elemental resistances fire is the lowest
Fun fact: my first playthrough was Arcane and Swarm of flies was the only thing I used to kill the final 3. Elden beast I used pest threads, but Malaketh, Godfrey, and Radagon, flies. Malenia, too. FLIES!
Bro no body gonna talk about what the chat said at 6:59
No need haha
jeopardy from the halo 2 soundrack in the background was MUCH appreciated. love to hear that again the nostalgia man 😭
I think the reason why Morgot takes so much more bleed damage than Margit is because he's an actual, living person.
Margit and Mogh are both projections, not actual Omens. So, sort of like ghosts, but not entirely.
Edit: Mogh in the sewers, not the actual Mogh.
Or i was just alot more leveled for the Morgott fight, arcane matters alot for bleed procs
Yeah...
But it fits the lore and game mechanics as well.
3:07 lol “cliff notes” as he goes down the cliff
Btw I know this is 3 months old but you can legit just leave the invasions, and it counts. Just use that finger that allows you to leave the invaded domain and ez pz.
I've been watching all of your challenge runs and it made me do another run of ER. Your videos are really intertaining.
Glad you like them! :D
Bro was just scratching at fire giant’s ankles
I understand if you don't want to punch the blood flame blade scarab to start this challenge off. But its really confusing watching you talk about defeating shardbearers when an option you showed earlier is avaliable so easily

You mean bloodboon, i just didnt find it necessary. Also Lord of Blood was extremely difficult to defeat, thats why i saved him till the end.

I really don't hear it
9:44 JUST LOOK 😂😂
Damn I didn’t know you could summon Dung Eater for that fight. They’re so many summons I don’t know about still
radahn plummeting into the ocean is pretty funny
You could have just took the alternate pass to get to Liurnia and grabbed bloodflame blade, so you didnt have to fight Radahn so early
Bloodflame blade cant be used in this run, cause its a weapon buff.
Great job :)
You probably already know this, but I THINK the more you proc a status effect, the harder it gets to do it again to the same enemy. It's like they build up a tolerance to it.
I know, and thanks man :)
The only run where household pests carry
Read the description of that spell if you havent
The hardest part of DTS is his god damn lighting bolt. it took me 3 tries to get the hang of its timing, it was like the lighting bolt of the dragon from sekiro if you didnt use the reflect art.
True, his attacks are really weird
Can you try a thorn magic only run?
For sure, patience...
Love how he got the harder to get seedbed when he already beat the godskin noble in volcano manor
TOTO! the knowing!

Youre the only youtuber that is nice funny and has fun
haha i made you read the description of the flies
Yes you did haha :)
You know you don't have to Yura's quest to get the Purifying Crystal Tear right? She always invades at that church and always drops it
You have to do it if you havent gone to the Mountain tops of the giants first.
@@tototriceps you can also get her to spawn early in Liurnia or however it’s spelled by killing Yura before he moves on
Blood flies are one of my favorite spells
Read their description haha
Me: Wow the Dragon Communion Seal scales with arcane and makes spells actually scale to the stat? Oh boy I can't wait to make a bad ass Faith/Arcane build-
*Finds out Bloodflame blade has 0 arcane scaling as does several weapons in the game*
Me: Oh...
Man I did a run where I did a different type of incantation for each area. These destroyed the mountain tops bosses aside from the deathbird who I didn’t even try.
the blood flies spell is op, i first tried malenia with that shit and it took me less than 2 minutes, also no summons either.
They bleed her really fast, even better on the Fire Giant
"Let's Go!" Nice!👍
"scratch".. bro is a level one pokemon
Dude, I like your videos and your voice. It's so good.
Thanks man :D
love your voice and accent, subbed
Thank you so much! :D
had no idea Dungeater could be summoned for Mohg. thought Bloodflame Talons would just be out of the question for the entire run
24:28 Totowyn dynasty 💀
I guess you could call him the lord of flies now

I want to face Mohg Jr. in Dung Eater cosplay, with a Dung Eater Puppet, while summoning Dung Eater (NG+). Really sounds like a sh*t fest. :p
Well, time for a dung eater run haha
I am suprised you didnt used bloodboon. It's one of the two item from Mogh's remeberance
For this run bloodflame talons are just better
@@tototriceps use the mausoleums
Nice video but could have gotten bloodboon a lot earlier, its a really good spell and would have helped a lot in cases where swarm of flies was too slow and bloodflame talons too close for comfort.
You could use the blood flame in a weapon too. Just use a knife or another weak weapon that has bleed.
This was a spell only challenge
ahh bloodflame, the only school of incantations that can actually compete with Blackflame in terms of consistent reliability.
low fp costs on all the spells
low stat requirements on all the spells
one of the best status' in the game and in very high numbers,

You're my favorite elden ring RUclipsr lol
I love your videos
*NOT THE BEES!*
Great video!
Glad you enjoyed it :D

For example
Fiddlesticks : grave scythe, bleed/madness build
Garen : claymore or Royal Greatsword/spining strikes art of war, holy/str build
Trundle : troll knights greatsword or stone club, str/ice build
Quinn : (any crossbow but fullmoon/pulley), bird summon, holy/archer build
Sejuani : nightriderflail str/ice build (must be mounted whenever possible)
Braum: visage or fingerprint shields only str/ice build
Twitch : crossbow + posions and stealth tactics
Annie : fire mage + rollo summon
Shaco : dual Misericorde bleed/mimic tear build
Shyvana : dual grafted dragons dragon/fire/str build
--
theres so many more!

i personally play fiddlesticks, so if you get invaded by a fiddlesticks its prolly me lol
Not really interested in that, it doesent provide me with enough of a challenge, honestly these spell only challenges are also a bit to easy.
@@tototriceps need a challenge? try to beat the game as a wow kobold miner. lol
Blood spells are the strongest one 💀 its like making a video "Can you beat elden ring with only Rivers of Blood?"XDDD
Disable Godfrey's AI by jumping over the ledge. Ur gonna have to get on the first one and then jump around the railing thingy. Then when u get in, bro just stands still
Thats been patched months ago haha
The first thing he says is no summons then cheeses Dedham’s with summons lol
No Spirit Summons, regular summons where good to go.
Man the subtle Jojo references hit different
Killing Varee actually gives you swarm of flies without doing any quests
No it doesnt haha
@@tototriceps it does. I killed him at the start of the game and it gave me it
You get the spell from moghwyn palace
All hail totowyn!!! 🎉 🫡
I guess ill have to name the discord by that name haha
i thought that vyke would invade you at church of inhibition tho or is there anyway to by pass him
There is a weird way you can bypass him by jumping on some rocks, i have it explained in my no stamina run of Elden Ring.
good content bro i love the jojo joke
Thanks man :D
Great video bro
21:48 wise words
My man look like a lego character
The accent makes this video 3x better
Thanks :D
Back at you vegiminer
triceps
Couldn't you add the two Aberrant sorcery spells as well? Since they are kind of blood spells as well and they scale with faith
I mean of course you could, by i like to stick to the particular category of spell for these runs, makes it more fun in my opinion.
Swarm of flies is so op
"all spells are locked behind difficult bosses"
Bloodflame blade....
love the content, keep it up
Thanks, will do! :D
I still don’t understand how bleed and fire are tied in together 🤔 could be a ‘hot blooded’ thing that I’m missing but nobody understands the mind of Miyazaki fully!

“Okay no summoning” anyway let’s go kill radahn with summons
you said in the intro that you can not use spirit summons, yet you used them on the radahn fight?
Those where not spirit summons in the radahn fight.
Question, how did you get the talisman from Varre before beating Godrick?
He killed Radahn as his first shardbearer. The only requirement for Varre to move to Liurnia.
Bro didn't watch the video
I love that fucking dog man

Blood for the Blood God... ops wrong franchise ;)
No no no every one stole our thing first so it’s fine
You're a very handsome lil gamer nerd.

In my opinion after you killed morgott you should have used his sword
Its a spell only run, ill use his sword in my current run tho
