Thanks! Anyone reading this comment is now legally obligated to go watch NotTheRealSpartan's Clayman run now, too. Always fun comparing strategies and seeing how other people tackle the same things with the same tools!
@@ingeniousclown For the sake of future runs and your sanity, you can access Ainsel River Main early by travelling via a coffin in Deeproot. It's located in the grave robbing section next to the waterfall, fairly close to the edge.
@@jacobanderson8219 AFAIK there's only two routes to Deeproot. One is via Ranni's questline, the other is the secret near the Frenzied Fingies. I wouldn't exactly call that early, and I'd even say Ranni's path is much easier.
You should've used the albinuric staff for this run for more damage it scales in intelligence and arcane like the bubbles do (Unless I missed the part of the video were you talked about why you chose the staff you chose because I watch these runs in the background)
@@orangechicken2262 1. didn't wanna grind for more mats and 2. i only leveled arcane to the minimum amount needed for the spell, not enough for scaling damage
Honestly, good job for doing this entire run in 1.06. It definitely makes it quite a bit harder than if you did it in 1.07 where they buffed the bubbles and made it so you can move while casting them. Congrats, my man!
The whole Mohg part was written so well, really gripped me with what was a Mr clean vs Mr Messy moment. I do feel quite sorry that people didn't watch your Doom vid, as it was bloody well made like most of your work.
As other people have mentioned, I LOVE the way you narrate your challenge runs. I understand what you’re doing and why you’re doing it, and you do it in an incredibly entertaining way. Amazing work, subbed and will be going through your catalog while eagerly waiting for your new videos!
I'm so desperately trying to play Elden Ring again but steam updates (or lack thereof) are doing everything possible to prevent that. At least I can live vicariously through your runs! Edit: I can't believe the no jump DOOM run got fucked over like that. It was an incredible film
Settling in to watch this. You're one of my favourite challenge runners, as you talk in detail about...well, the challenge. Some people just narrate like this: 'next off to Caelid to get item X. Then we beat boss Y. Then we go to...' and so on. You go into more detail, and it's fantastic. Keep it up! :) Also- did anyone else see the Tree Sentinel HP bar pop up for a second while fighting the Fallingstar Beast, at 24:15? That'd be a hell of a duo fight!
Please dont ever think the effort gone into these videos is overlooked. Watched a few of your runs now, just wanted to say the commentary and editing is very well done on top of the gameplay. Find myself consistently entertained through the over hour long videos. Fantastic job! Subscribed and looking forward to future videos.
Iron Pineapple is the reason I started watching Elden Ring challenges, but you're the reason I *kept* watching them. The way you explain your logic and process is absolutely fantastic, and you're the reason I, who have never even touched this game, recognized the Duck Dance opening stance immediately on the next video I watched after yours. I cannot find that Bare Fists Only run, though. Is it delisted?
Since he's such a small channel you need a really specific query. "question marks bare fist" usually works for me, or you can click this link lol ruclips.net/video/_b2lqmj0cEw/видео.html
I like themed runs as much as I like challenge runs. It doesn’t have to be exceptionally difficult, just thematically fun. I’ve personally been considering a Cavewoman build. Fur and shaman armor only, primitive weapons, throws rocks, and worships fire. Restricted to anything called a club. Turtle shell shield. The short bow looks appropriately primitive. No lantern, only torches. Clawmark and Cinquedea are fine, the dagger is just a carved rock. And besides Beast Sling and Stone, of Gurranq, any Fire spells where you “pray” to the Flame. The spells name has to sound like you’re talking to it. I suppose you can put Flame Art on your clubs, a stick on fire is primitive. 45/45 Str/Fth. Animal Spirits only.
some sort of cleaning pun this video was marvelous, and I will absolutely be watching that doom run now, the only thing that held me back was I hadn't played that game but, fuck it, for the algo!
The man of dirt, seeking a clean world; only to discover that it was far, far dirtier than he could have known or understood. Armed with only his meager bubbles, he realized the only way to cleanse this world of its sin is to burn, burn it all away. Only then will it all be clean. May chaos take the world! Fantastic video! I absolutely loved your challenge run, and the parameters for it. You cut out exactly as much as I would've liked, and the content that was left was still so entertaining despite the (self-professed) absolute slog of Bubble casting that I barely noticed that the video was almost over. Can't wait to see more from you!
Love the video, genuinely fun to see these weird and fun cosplay challenge runs and got me to do challenge runs. although it does bother me you stuck to the apprentice wand for so long when the albinauric staff is perfect in scaling for the bubbles.
Really do appreciate your more in-depth narration on your runs. Sorry Elden Ring Challenge Runs are the "in thing" for the algorithm but they are extremely well done!
I loved this run and your doom one, honestly didn't expect to enjoy your content when I first started watching and your story telling is probably the best among elden ring challenge runners. The thing is tho is that I already saw a clayman oracle bubbles run by someone else, don't remember who but it is out there
The shadow clone attack of Melenia can be simply dodged by running backwards and roll twice to dodge the last two pierce. The down side is the player have to be cautious whether or not there is enough space behind the player to run.
Six months and 130k views and you're the only person (to my knowledge) to have noticed and acknowledged that with a comment. Do you like games described as "a fast-paced, 2D action platformer souls-like, with spectacle fighter combing and scoring systems"? I'd love to give you a Steam key for an upcoming game as a thank you. The devs accidentally sent me an extra key and said I can do whatever I want with it, and I don't really do giveaways so why not give it to someone who watched a whole video and then appreciated the smallest, latest touch I gave to the video?
@@ingeniousclown Wow, this was an unexpected surprise notification! I do indeed enjoy 2D action platformers, Rogue Legacy series being a fav. And mixed with souls-like mechanics does sound interesting. As for being the first, it sort of surprised me. I mean, the comments section was awash with "clean" usage after I went back and looked, so I was quite the scrub on that pun. I figured someone else would have noticed as you blithely ignored the music and did your outro. Trust me, it's those touches that make your videos stand out.
Hell yeah! This was such a fun run to watch (all of them are), as always I appreciate the level of detail you put into explaining The Strats. It was a real... bath bomb! (that's supposed to be a good thing, Im bad at puns) Hope the DOOM video gets more love, it was very entertaining.
Hey there, just found your channel and so far i'm diggin' your content! You say you do cosplay challenge runs right? How about a Slave Knight Gael run? My personal armaments and spells suggestions to aim for are: * Eccentric Hood + Exile chest, arm and leg armour - closest Gael-like fashion imo. * Marius' Executioners Blade - It looks like Gael's Executioners GS from DS3, and it's AoW kinda fells like his cape-wing follow-up attack. * Golden Order Seal - Discus of Light,Triple Rings of Light, Lightning Strike or Ancient Dragon's Lightning Strike * Pulley Crossbow * Regal Omen's Bairn - an optional item for that thematic explosion of dark/cursed souls
I just want to say how amazing your videos are, and I do understand the pain of youtube algorithms, but still, keen on doing what you are doing, as long as its fun to you, you are excellent
I've been doing this build recently, and it's wildly fun. I will say, I find it helpful on some bosses and enemies to unlock my targeter. It can be more useful to fire to the side or just straight ahead. Especially when it came to mounted enemies
Hope you see this. When the elden beast jumps in the air and shoots down projectiles you HAVE to unlock off elden beast and run either left or right and not toward or away
commenting for the algorithm. i love all your videos, and love to see you take advantage of these challenges to add some game analysis/thoughts that you wouldn’t have before. does hurt to know YT is pigeonholing you a bit, but i hope that doesn’t mean the more crunchy analysis and retrospective stuff isn’t done.
Idea for a run: Using one of the boss soul weapons of the last demigod/(remembrance holder) you killed. This has probably already been done but it would add some strategy in what order you'd fight each demigod in.
The doom video getting burried is totally unfair, that video was awesome and it was among my favorite challenge runs ever made, it's not that i don't like a cut stream style of video, but I much prefer your narrated approach.
You should do a Godrick Soldier cosplay run, where you make a custom class with the armor and his greatsword with just enough stats to use it but are not allowed to upgrade it or level up, use flasks etc. Basically only be allowed to do what the Soldier of Godrick can do, except maybe also have access to the Soldiers of Godrick ashes for some support from the boys and see how far you get. Idk how masochistic this would be but it would be fun.
Made a twink oracle pvp build and gotta say it's op like slow op, the meteorite staff is great for pvp invasions as the scaling on that weapon is on par with +10 staffs
I loved your Doom video, i think the biggest issue with very long challenge videos is that a lot of people don't have the time to sit and watch an entire half a movie's worth of content sometimes. I think with the Doom video the combination of an unpopular game (for some reason as soon as doom eternal came out, people called the og doom bad and unpolished i guess? a lot of folks started to dislike it and just forget it existed.) the runtime being dominated less by gameplay and moreso by glitch explanation than actual challenge video parts, and of course the double whammy of youtube's algorithm hating when channels switch content focuses as well as channel viewers not being as interested. It's a massive shame with the work you put into the video and how great it turned out. Hopefully going forward it doesn't discourage you from trying out other games you love, or visiting other popular challenge heavy games like the Fallout and Elder Scrolls series or even something more in the out field like pokemon. Excited for the things to come, ICG!
I appreciate it. As far as the low views go, that's 100% the fault of the algorithm not giving the video the time of day. The click-through isn't bad on it, and neither is the total watch duration. It's less about people not _wanting_ to click, and more about RUclips not giving people the chance to click or not. Of course that ties in a lot with game popularity, but there's some aspect of loyalty to a creator's videos (ie I watched X video and it was great, I'll give Y video a try since it's on my feed) that should offer at least some sort of reliability, but RUclips is shitty and that's not the case :( Trend or die, I guess.
@@ingeniousclown It really really sucks that RUclips's dispersal method of videos doesnt properly give credit when effort is put in. I have a few videos on my other channel that are the same way. I made some small Final Fantasy XIV videos and clips that blew up on my channel overnight and most of my FFXIV videos exploded, but anytime after i uploaded something that wasn't FFXIV related at all, they got 10-50 views a pop, which was baffling as the others were still rising immensely. Hopefully after a week or so your Doom video hits the algorhitm! My FFXIV video didnt explode until about 3 weeks after its upload. Much love though
The falling stars is merely geometry. It depends on where they come from and the direction you run in. If they're far away they'll come in with a lower angle and if you then run away or towards their starting point, chances are pretty high they'll clip you - i.e. they cover more horizontal distance and the more that distance aligns with your path, the more ground you need to cover to evade them. I think you should have allowed yourself the clayman's harpoon to use, though. Would have offered more variety than just those two spells and some more acceptable boss fights, especially Rennala. Playing with a bigger variety of tools is imo preferrable to just a low damage, slow cast endurance challenge while you merely wait for the one opportunity you can punish. Maybe could have made up for the easier fights with fat rolling as the claymen are so slow, I think that would've been fitting.
Made a twink oracle pvp build and gotta say it's op like slow, op, the meteorite staff is great for pvp invasions as the scaling on that weapon is on par with +10 staffs
The Clayman spells scale in intelligence AND arcane meaning the albinuric staff would be better for damage as it scales in both, it's crazy to me that when people do these challenge runs they just slam their head into until it works instead of going for the best damage you can get and then doing trying it out
b r u h, i never leveled arcane past the minimum amount needed for the spell, the scaling would have been WAY worse with my int-heavy build. it's not like i was particularly struggling with damage, either. check your condescension at the door, mate
Radagon Icon only gives 30 virtual dex, and also for the Rennala fight and other occasions if there isn’t a purple gate icon on the left of the screen it means you can’t summon 👍 . . . Edit 1: Of course that purple gate NEVER appears if you never grab the bell XD Edit 2: 48:14 Second best staff* but you probably said that because you weren’t considering Lusats as a contender, as it is a lot more fp cost for only like 30 more sorcery scaling.
broo i have a lot to learn! amazing run tho!

Imagine he's the reason they buffed bubbles.
Bro, your doom video was so good, its criminal it didn't get much love. Hopefully the algorithm gods favour this video more
Seriously his content is great
I want to second this comment, I really enjoyed that video too!
Yes its was Very good video
I'm part of the problem so commenting for the algo
@@literal-tree 😂 aren’t we all
You really took one of the worst spells and beat the game with it, seconds before it got a massive buff💀
The whole Mohg part was written so well, really gripped me with what was a Mr clean vs Mr Messy moment.
I do feel quite sorry that people didn't watch your Doom vid, as it was bloody well made like most of your work.
Unfortunately Mohg doesn't become Mr. Messy til his "real" fight, but I'm happy you enjoyed the dramatization!

Now skumnuts gotta do a RL1 ng+7 run with the bubbles just to one up yah XD
Your No-Jump Doom 2016 challenge was a great video and I’m sad to see that the algorithm murdered it. Let the Bubble God bless this video.
Well, what a clean run, honestly some of the execution was spotless.

who could do such a thing
@@ingeniousclown you know who it was lol
They were on such a roll, weren't they?
its amazing the quality of your video cheers for you men !!
Quite possibly the cleanest challenge run I've ever seen!
And the bubles where buffed in the recent patch...
Dang, From has something against you.
Great video btw !!!
Another banger! One thing I did notice though - Margit is Morgott, not his nephew.
good on you for shouting out the doom video that the algorithm buried. it was a great watch, Spasmodic and you did a great combined job
Like and comment for the algorithm gods. You're vids are amazing, I absolutely love them! Hope you blow up, more people need to see this.
Loved the dramatic sequence for Mohg the Omen and your subtle comedy like changing Niall’s name and the Napoleon reference always make me laugh lmao
Yo, you got me into elden ring and now i have more than 500+ hours, i am really grateful
37:30 i don't know why but "the 5th explosion will break his stance" made me lose it
That's the power of Pinesol, Baby!

Azure’s staff, magic scorpion charm, Godfrey icon
You are like mr. clean with all your scrubbing bubbles. You really cleaned house! Great job dude!
Godfrey's icon boosterd charged spells this could have been usefull
Such a clean run. Really wiped the floor with those bosses.
Love the Made in Abyss reference
Love the Farum Azula joke in each challenge run
they're getting harder and harder to come up with
Love the video, genuinely fun to see these weird and fun cosplay challenge runs and got me to do challenge runs. although it does bother me you stuck to the apprentice wand for so long when the albinauric staff is perfect in scaling for the bubbles.

You say you do cosplay challenge runs right? How about a Slave Knight Gael run?
My personal armaments and spells suggestions to aim for are:
* Eccentric Hood + Exile chest, arm and leg armour - closest Gael-like fashion imo.
* Marius' Executioners Blade - It looks like Gael's Executioners GS from DS3, and it's AoW kinda fells like his cape-wing follow-up attack.
* Golden Order Seal - Discus of Light,Triple Rings of Light, Lightning Strike or Ancient Dragon's Lightning Strike
* Pulley Crossbow

The dramatic narration for Mogh the Omen fight was hilarious. You channeled Edgar Allen Poe there
As someone who hadn't killed Magnus on the third try you don't have to kill him just invade three times
I'm wanting to yell at my screen at 44:00, "YOU NEVER GOT THE BELL"
I hope you do more of these.
15:56 has I think pokemon scarlett+violet/sword+shield gym "ace" pokemon music and honestly it's a banger
hopefully this run Cleans your record with the algorithm gods.

The true Mr. Clean reigns supreme.
Bruh your videos are so good fr no matter what it is if you do a challenge run of a game I've played ill watch it
Was the albanauric staff just forgotten? It scales off int and arc, and I think you can get it before Godskin noble in volcano manor
You should do a Godrick Soldier cosplay run, where you make a custom class with the armor and his greatsword with just enough stats to use it but are not allowed to upgrade it or level up, use flasks etc. Basically only be allowed to do what the Soldier of Godrick can do, except maybe also have access to the Soldiers of Godrick ashes for some support from the boys and see how far you get.

"We finally made it to Community's gas leak year".. I simply liked.
Actually one dude made every enemy 5X 😂 some people are insanely good
Lusat and Azur’s staff are the best(at 80 int) but they take way more blue juice to cast spells
Keep up the good work mate. You're doing amazingly
The pure blood knight talisman can be used as a homeward bone.
I love this series of self inflicted torture
The use of Dancing Mad after Sewer Mohg makes me a very happy man
So far elden roll is the most difficult and frustrating elden run run i have seen on youtube. Nothing comes closer to it.
im guessing this was done before the buffs, that's unfortunate
Yeeeeaah, I forgot to mention it in my script too. Just being able to move while casting the megabubble would have changed everything.
@@ingeniousclown well atleast it fits the clayman theme cause..claymen dont move very much...yay
this run proves that you are the real bubble boy, 10/10
I'm so sad that your non elden ring vids are forsaken from the algorithm gods
With those spells I was expecting a dirty game, but it turned out to be a wash.
Definitely a clean run.
New sub here. This was a great run! Thanks for the Tuesday entertainment from an old man (kind of) sitting here with a (no s*it) broken back.

Maybe could have made up for the easier fights with fat rolling as the claymen are so slow, I think that would've been fitting.
Made a twink oracle pvp build and gotta say it's op like slow, op, the meteorite staff is great for pvp invasions as the scaling on that weapon is on par with +10 staffs
The Clayman spells scale in intelligence AND arcane meaning the albinuric staff would be better for damage as it scales in both, it's crazy to me that when people do these challenge runs they just slam their head into until it works instead of going for the best damage you can get and then doing trying it out
b r u h, i never leveled arcane past the minimum amount needed for the spell, the scaling would have been WAY worse with my int-heavy build. it's not like i was particularly struggling with damage, either. check your condescension at the door, mate
Radagon Icon only gives 30 virtual dex, and also for the Rennala fight and other occasions if there isn’t a purple gate icon on the left of the screen it means you can’t summon 👍 . . .
Edit 1: Of course that purple gate NEVER appears if you never grab the bell XD
Edit 2: 48:14 Second best staff* but you probably said that because you weren’t considering Lusats as a contender, as it is a lot more fp cost for only like 30 more sorcery scaling.
I died as soon as i heard "frenzied bubble". Love your videos :)

I have an idea, can you do a cosplay run as a big daddy from bioshock? (as close as possible of course)
