Funfact : that radagon soreseal in the end actually truly maxed out your strength! Strength is the only stat that isnt capped to 99. You can't level past 99 and it won't show in the menu, but strength enhancing stuff in the game can put you to up to 150. So two handing a weapon at 99 str means you have 148 effective strength, 2 less than max. Also without 2 handing, you can get up to 129 str with strenght heirloom, strength tear, radagon soreseal godrick rune and grafted greatsword buff ! Pretty niche and useless info but still cool imo

See, every build I play, I play with unga bunga. Faith build? Great Stars for unga bunga. Intellengence build? Radahn's swords, Dark Moon. Dex Build? Arcane Build? Actually I invest a little in Faith and use Black Blade. Unga Bunga!
My 1st playthrough was magic.. Also did magic in dark souls 2 .. And now am playing strength build and its literally 10 times easier than magic.. I am just one shotting everything and wearing the heavist armor i can find.. People who say magic is easy mode have never actually played magic... Strength is easy mode
First play through was a mage, now I started a guts cosplay and yeah, I agree completely. The heavy greatsword just deleted everything so far and I'm like one third of the level as my mage was
I’ve genuinely never see anyone beat godrick without getting him to phase 2. Even if you do so much damage the DR in the phase transition is just so high that it means nothing. This is crazy lol.
i’ve always liked watching these commentary over gameplay videos and especially for elden ring i was looking for more. good that i found a good channel for that
For the Night's Calvary trick, you need to go to the opposite side that's closest to Lenne's rise and get on the ledge facing death, after smacking the wall the nights calvary should jump off
This week i tried the Radagon fight with the giant crusher and raptor's myst ash of war. Found out through testing that the jump attack buffs dont apply to jumping attacks made from that ash of war... buff musy apply when you hit the jump button
I actually found that boosting charge attacks with the talisman and using that flip move more efficient and faster at stance breaks. Thanks to the unique follow up where younjust pick up the hammer and drop it without the flip. (Not sure if that requires two handing)
@@SocraTetris i just used rkr, mimic tear (for a distraction while i use the weapon), charged heavies, and a bit of luck to turn the elden beast into elden paste
5:02 Gilika shouldn't be alive at all to begin with because as is revealed during your fight, she has no butthole, and really no butt at all, just a super-creepy uni-cheek thing going on.
I think the problem with the crit on Fire Giant is that the Knight's resolve boosts only the next hit, and the crit consists of 2 hits, the first being a lot weaker. If the 2nd hit was also boosted, it would hit a lot harder.
Oh hay, I've done this. Was wondering when you would get to STR only. I didn't find it too hard for the most part. Strength builds are amazing in ER. (This is me pre-video) I'm interested to see what challenges you found and how our methods differ. My biggest problem was "Giant Crusher Heavy, encumbrance value low" YEUP, you're having the same problem. BREAK OUT THE ONE SHOT UNGA-BUNGA STICK! For anybody else doing this challenge : Tip 1 : Despite meeting requirements for your weapons, DON'T get mimic tear. Low HP + melee + Mimic AI = dead mimic Tip 2 : You have so little HP, skip ritual sword and get red-feather branchsword. The extra 10% can be the difference between a one shot or death. Tip 3 : While slower charged power attack buffing gets you more single shot damage than jump attacks. If you don't mind grinding out boss openings, or you know movesets and can figure out what moves to punish, a charged R2 build can 1-2 shot most bosses (without going buff crazy) Tip 4 : BUFF! You need that protein, even the holy kind. This goes extra well with the above tip to get you into a one shot build. No, you don't need to level any other stats to get the best buffs if you're smart with equipment and consumables. This is the most try-hard tip of all time and kind of turns the game into a boring grind for stuff, so unless you are specifically doing a "one-shot only challenge" I suggest just settling with some basic buffs and be ok with 2-3 shotting everything. Tip 5 : I think it keeps the spirit of the run, so for an easier time once you hit 99 str level endurance for equip load. Tip 6 : Unless you want the extra challenge, just level vigor to 40-60 when you hit the STR soft cap of 60 (you will probably around the time you reach the plateau naturally). The extra str for weapon scaling past 60 does almost nothing. (Then you can use mimic and laugh as you two slaughter everything) FUN FACT : Leveling strength only, without zip glitches (or other major glitches), you can 1-2 shot every boss in the game. (that's 1-2 shot per phase, such as fire giants cutscene transition) This has been a message from a founding member of the Iron Temple. "See you at the Gym bros."
Just discovered your channel and this was great fun to watch - gonna give this build a try, many, many tries! Well done, subbed and belled. Cheers, Harry.
The critical hit on the Fire Giant did less damage because the Royal Knight's Resolve gets used on the first little tap before the massive second hit... in other words, complete and utter BS
I'm doing my first playthrough of elden ring currently and this is pretty much the build I've ended up making. Just started Melania so wish me luck everyone.
Imagine if you could have the was it wild strikes ash of war on it thats on the axe of one of the main classes you can choose with the champion clothes, you could just lightly kill anything with like a hit per second isnt it?
I love "To understand that better: put a sledgehammer in the oven for an hour, then hit a head of cabbage. It's pretty effective!" because it implies hitting a head of cabbage with an unheated sledgehammer would somehow be less effective
If you stun them with giant crusher, than do a fully charged royal knights resolve giant crusher hit, then do another royal knights resolve, then do the repost
A level 1 run but more damage and a few extra weapons that you can use (in rl1 most str you can reach is 52) 10 if you start with wretch (+5 from starscourge heirloom +5 from godricks great rune +10 from strength knot tear +5 from radagon soreseal) at this point you have 35 strength so two handing it gets you to for a grand total of 52 strength
Done 3 play throughs and everytime I do this only level strength and stamina and never have a problem I took Rahdan out in exactly 1 minute at level 50 stance broke him to the point he never hit second phase
I know this makes me sound like a wimp, but if you get one shot by bs, couldn't you opt for a great shield instead of a roll? For stuff like godskin slayer tire attack?
Lions claw with giant crusher is easy mode, it does tonnes of damage and if you combine it with the tear that increases poise damage youll basically stance break thw boss in 1-2 uses of the ash of war.
If I may recommend a funny build: consider a Chiaotzu build: Where you kill every boss by blowing up. Granted, it WWWILL require both a wrong warp and a zip glitch, but it'd be really funny.
95% sure this isn't the real Cena, but just in case: you're such a great actor and bring a lot to every project you're in. Peacemaker, Blockers, Fast and Furious, you just really figure out what the movie needs and bring it. Love your work
Hey man, unfortunately we have ruled that this run is null and void. We have it on good authority that you were gooseing the little buff shield buff boys.
TIP FOR RADAHN FIGHT!!!!!!!! when you spawn in, hop on horse and run directly backwards to despawn Radahn so he doesnt shoot arrows. Once his model dissappears, turn around and ride towards him again. He will respawn with him pulling out swords and hell ride towards you, completely skipping those annoying arrows.
Why waste all those faith points for golden vow when you can just go to 15 for FGMS and put GV ash on a dagger? You could spend those 10 points on more strength or arcane (giant crusher scales better w occult).

You can get to noxstella without even meeting ranni, you just have to get to the nameless eternal city and take a coffin flume ride.
I can confirm, strength focused builds CAN be overpowered. Just be sure to use radahn scar seal to raise vigor and get it to 20-30.
there is no radahn scar seal in the game

Hey thanks, we work pretty hard on these!
Oh hay, I've done this. Was wondering when you would get to STR only.
I didn't find it too hard for the most part. Strength builds are amazing in ER. (This is me pre-video)
I'm interested to see what challenges you found and how our methods differ. My biggest problem was "Giant Crusher Heavy, encumbrance value low"
YEUP, you're having the same problem. BREAK OUT THE ONE SHOT UNGA-BUNGA STICK!
For anybody else doing this challenge :
Tip 1 :
Despite meeting requirements for your weapons, DON'T get mimic tear. Low HP + melee + Mimic AI = dead mimic
Tip 2 :
You have so little HP, skip ritual sword and get red-feather branchsword. The extra 10% can be the difference between a one shot or death.

Glass Cannon? More like Glass Wreckingball.
True. A cannon could keep a safe distance haha
if the term is glass cannon, wouldn't it mean that you cant fight at close range?
due to cannons having no maneuverability?

For anyone curious, if you dont intend on dual wielding you only have to level to 54 strength to hit stat cap of 80 when you two hand
