Love the video but i miss the number of trys that you needed to defeat the bosses i really liked that you put that in all your challanges before it gives a perspective on how hard it is with the challange :) Love from Germany 😁
Hi, judging from the fact that he has done harder runs then this one, he probably got them all first try. Not sure just saying. Edit: maybe not after watching the vid but he has definitely done harder challenge runs
Considering the number of challenge runs he has done that have been significantly harder than this, he probably just thought it wasn't worth putting it in this video since he is actually using good weapons for a change 😂
21:02 I was right there with you, bro. My guy threaded the needle perfectly with that throw. Imps are among my most hated of enemy types in this game, right up there with bleed dogs and pests.
@@monsoon7591 An addition with excellent credentials. Thankfully I know how to avoid all but one of those feathery demons while running the castle so their annoyance factor is largely nullified. The banished knights are for more aggravating to me in Stormveil.
17:00 I wonder how many people know there's an intended way to kill Greyoll that's not just spamming R1 or L2 on her tail. if you kill the dragons in front of her with the red eyes, she'll lose a percentage of health whenever you kill a dragon. I think there's about 6 dragons and they're pretty easy to kill too (don't have a breath attack and are very predictable when their head comes down)
I found this on my first playthrough. I just killed every Wyvern I'd see, and the red eyed ones were tougher and dropped more runes. By the second, I began noticing that the big dragon screamed and lost health every time one died.
How about a "only failed stats" run. Only use weapons you don't have the requirements to use, seeing as how the devourers scepter did alright damage while failing it's stats.
As far as I can tell it's not like DS1 where failed stats=shit damage, it seems to be the closer your stats are to meeting the requirement, the better your damage. Ever weirder, it seems like if there's a weapon that scales with 2 damage types and 2 respective stats, you can "fail" one of them, but it will only affect it's respective stat. You can see this on the weapon stats screen. Eg, my RL1 character currently fails the stats for the meteoric ore blade, because I have less than 18 int. But the stats screen shows the physical damage as getting the + damage from scaling, since I meet the physical requirements, only the magic damage is affected. Rivers of Blood+10 damage vs wandering noble while meeting requirements - 398 (20 dex) Rivers of Blood+10 damage vs wandering noble while "failing" requirements - 244 (15 dex) Deaths Poker+9 requirements met - 362 Deaths Poker+9 "failed" - 338 (1 int too low) So I imagine you can just get a really good weapon like Death's Poker, "fail" the int check, losing ~30 magic damage, but surpass the str/dex checks, right now I have 20/20 with almost +100 from scaling at +9 on it. Really weirdly, it seems that Arcane weapons ignore this rule, and being even 1 point of arcane below for one of those weapons docks ALL damage types on the weapon, not just the magic damage like I'd suspect. I guess it's a way of encouraging Arcane levelling?? Rivers of Blood+10, stats met - 186+94/186+48 Rivers of Blood+10, 3 dex under - 186-80/186+48 (so only affecting physical) Rivers of Blood+10, 3 arc under - 186-80/186-74 (so affecting both) Really weird. So since the Devourer's Scepter is STR/DEX/FAI, and the FAI part only affects the minor fire damage, you can basically ignore that, and treat it as a regular hammer that just happens to have a tiny fire damage bonus (for stunning miranda flowers/blowing up burning pots) I guess.
I really hate how failed stats work in Elden Ring. They just outright botched that aspect of the game, there's no getting around it. It doesn't mean anything anymore.
Are you also planning to do a "Using Every Remembrance Weapon to Beat Elden Ring" run? You would only have to use your starting weapon against the first Remembrance holder. There are only 7 Walking Mausoleums so you would have 22 possible weapons outside of NG+ once you've duplicated 7 Remembrances. Otherwise, good job on this run!
I don't know if this will be interesting or not, but while watching this run I came out with the idea of 'rememberance chain run'. Kill a rememberance boss with starting equipment -> kill the next rememberance boss with the previous boss rememberance weapon -> continue the chain'.
@@dimKiriyenko If you're doing it in typical order you get kinda screwed that after godrick and his easy to wield axe and dragon is Renallas mega high int stuff.
A suggestion since this seems to be the case with every challenge where you can no longer use things; when you show the graphic with all the items, always place the most recent in the bottom left or right, and have the rest of the info cards cascade horizontally and then move them up one column when the row is filled, so they retain the chronological order and you can quickly tell what was used.
@@blackdragonxtra Yes, but due to the way the cards are added it's not immediately obvious which one is the newest addition.

These videos are pretty great showcases of the potential of various items and such. The whole rule of “Once you beat a boss with an item you can’t use it again” allows us to see strategies rotate throughout the video, instead of just seeing one strat for most of the video like other challenge UA-camrs do.
Bolt of Gransax is probably the best weapon against fire giant because in phase 2 you can snipe the eyeball 100% of the time and kill him in seven hits with the right talismans and buffs. Since the charged weapon art has such insane range, you can do it from a relatively safe distance.
@@SariaAK I think it's like 40 dex to use. Make sure you pick up the lightning attack talisman, the Godfrey icon, the golden vow incantation, and the lightning tear. One of my characters is built around it and it deals about 2800 damage with the fully charged weapon art.
Just started my first playthrough a week ago and im already 80 hours in. Ive never played anything made by from software and im absolutely in awe. I honestly thought i was just done with video games altogether but now ive got something that makes me feel like a kid again. Anyways thank you for putting out such entertaining content. Its really been helping me through some shit these last few days. Much love man you got my follow.
17:00 For percentage based damage, if you'd just killed Rennala earlier, you could pair the dark moon greatsword for frostbite with a legendary item with fire. Both of the sources from weapons had been used (Devourer's, SNF), but Flame of the Fell God hadn't been.
Bushy: *Does all sorts of crazy chalenges where he has to use complete garbage for weapons* also Bushy: Bro... Like what if I just used the best weapons in the game?
@@Crocomum For PvE, the Moonlight Greatsword and Marais Executioner Blade are seriously up there. Eclipse Shotel and Rennala's Staff are also good. Bolt Of Granssax is arguably the most effective weapon against the Fire Giant, surpassed only by DOT weapons. And it's an incredible weapon in general. Really, these are all good besides Elden Stars.
And the Grafted Blade Greatsword, while a shit legendary, can serve as a poor mans Greatsword if you don't wanna deal with Caelid. In fact, considering how much more tedious it is to upgrade regular weapons as opposed to unique ones, it can serve you well until you get there, having only 5 less AR at +10 than a +25 Greatsword. It's certainly not a bad weapon itself, it's just worse than all the legendaries, and slightly worse than the Greatsword.
@@TheStraightestWhitest I mean, the fact it's worse than some random ass lump of metal doesn't exactly help it's reputation, either. What I don't get is why this thing doesn't inflict bleed. Like, a legendary weapon can be a bit more OP than others (Sword of Fuck and You says hi), and with how many blades this thing has, you're bound to tear open at least _some_ bleeding wounds swinging it. With how rusty it looks, it may well inflict poison, too.
Not sure if you know this or not but if you use the great stars hammer (heals a little amount of hp when you hit an enemy) and put prelate’s charge ash of war on it you can stun lock enemies like malenia and gain hp back. Also the great stars has bleed build up on it.
He mentions the downside of needing to level every stat....I feel this as I am just past fire giant on a "even" run challenge where you have to keep your stats even the whole game meaning all stats go up 1 at a time across the whole board. (If you need 2 levels in strength for instance you need 16 levels worth of runes to keep all stats even) its been rough as it's my first challenge run
If there is a mod that can keep track of enemies, I'd suggest a "genocide run": kill every enemy present in a location(if it's a legacy dungeon, that includes the entire dungeon, all without rests to not respawn them), before moving on. This can be pretty tedious depending on what kinda person you are, so obviously take it on at your own risk.
That opening Civ joke is so fuckin accurate it hurts. Played a game of civ 4 on max difficulty with a speed mod enabled.....less then 100 turns later, when 95% of people are still rocking musketmen....ghandi starts his assault...
I believe failing a stat only reduces the related stats scales power. I.e. low int reduces magic but having enough strength/dex keeps the physical damage high.
Nice job, but I think you forgot one legendary - Godslayer's Greatsword, from the bottom of Devine Tower in Caelid. Though it's a legendary armament, it doesn't show on any lists that I could find, so I see why you forgot or just didn't know.
@@brandentaft5164 As far as I know there is no category for legendary weapons, the ones that count for the achievement all have part of the description as "one of the legendary armaments". Aside from being a lore-relevant weapon nothing is really important about the Godslayer Greatsword so it only counts as a normal weapon.
@@brandentaft5164 Legendary items, yes, meaning every important item has this golden glow. Certain armor has this glow, key items from quests (like the fingerslayer blade) as well, even the upgrade material for +10 special ashes (Great Ghost Glovewort) has it. "Legendary" Armaments/Spells/Talismans/Ashes are identified by their specific description as well as counting for the achievement, not just because they are important for the game.
@@Mutor1337 Yes I know this I'm about to beat ng+2 no need for education but it has a gold glow making it a legendary weapon not one of THE legendary armaments
In theory, if you were using the Grafted Blade Greatsword and only meeting the stat requirements using your flask, could you continue using it once the flask runs out, just by keeping the AoW active since it increases all stats by 5?
Bushy: I have to kill Greyoll without using any percentage based damage as there's no legendaries without it. I find it insane that the Godslayer Greatsword or the Black Knife don't count as legendary items, or any of the remembrance items, despite the weapons having the gold banner and legendary pickup sound and making total sense to be legendary items from a lore sense. Godslayer Greatsword: the sword used by the godskins' Queen Black Knife: used during the Night of the Black Knifes to mark the first death of a demigod Axe of Godfrey: owned by the first elden lord and first husband to Marika, and the Head of the Tarnished or something (not 100% sure on specifics of that part) Maliketh's Black Blade: the sword used by the Harbinger of Destined Death and Guardian of Marika Sacred Relic Sword: the FUCKING SPINE OF RADAGON repurposed as a sword by what is essentially the Greater Will's ambassador
Hey Bushy, I just wanted to recommend you a challenge run that I feel is pretty enjoyable, the run is Champion/Remembrance items only! The rules are fairly simple, you can use your starting weapon though you cannot wear armor until you are able to purchase it from the Finger Reader in the roundtable hold. The Flask Of Wonderous Physic is allowed though you can set more harsh rules to make this challenge harder. You are not allowed to use any incantations either. Fairly simple challenge, I hope you try it out, it's very fun, enjoyable, and fresh!
Here’s a challenge idea: bosses only. You can only use weapons, armor, and spells that drops from bosses/remembrances. In addition to this, you can only level/buy remembrances and armors/upgrade weapons with runes dropped from bosses.
I don't know if this will be interesting or not, but while watching this run I came out with the idea of 'rememberance chain run'. Kill a rememberance boss with starting equipment -> kill the next rememberance boss with the previous boss rememberance weapon -> continue the chain'.
I think it’d be cool to see a run similar to this in the rules regarding weapon “retirement” but with boss (remembrance) weapons / spells / armour / etc. Although it’d have to either be in NG+ or some cheating might need to be used to obtain the first usable weapon, as well as to have the stats to wield them.
It would have been cool to see God-slayer Great sword since it is also a legendary armament, and has pretty low stat requirements ( 20 str, 22 dex, 20 fai) Plus it can do over 3,000 damage with one swing of the skill(idk about rn though) and the second swing can do even more plus you have the black flame effect.
Loving every video you put out brother, I can't tell you how entertaining it is to tune in to every cool idea you get. I know I can't expect a video every time but I find myself craving more at the end of each one. So whatever you're doing, keep putting crack in it LOL
@@4Roman204 Yes, it counts as a legendary item. Just like certain armor, key quest items or upgrade materials the game gives it the golden glow (as well as the gold-tinted-background) as an item, because it obviously is lore-relevant and a pretty strong weapon. The thing that makes a weapon "legendary" though, is a specific line in the description reading "one of the legendary armaments", as well as counting for the achievement, which only the nine weapons Bushy mentioned do.
I just did a run like this, and believe it or not, I actually found a use for Elden Stars. At the Mohgwyn Palace farming spot, the Stars incantation has just long enough range to reach the bird on the other side of the cliff, so you can do the bird strats without a bow. That's it, that's the only use.
The one thing I wish elden ring did better was movesets. That is the only thing I think could have been more unique ala bloodborne, they are just the same movesets we’ve seen since ds1 bar a few and I wish they updated them. I feel like at least the legendary armaments should have gotten unique to their class movesets
21:30 This is a thing? I've done 5 playthroughs, 2 with guides, and not once have I found this or heard it even mentioned. Crazy how much more Elden Ring has to offer.
First, great video! was really fun to watch. Second i had a really neat idea for a challenge, after each attempt of a boss, meaning enemy with a boss hp bar, you have to put the weapon or spell in storage and it becomes unusable. and to make things more interesting no leveling vigor. I think it could be a really fun live stream and then YT vid. cheers!
Fun fact - If you fight Malenia with Ogha for fire support he turns it into a comedy act. He'll just stay by the gate where you summon him, knocking her down repeatedly
I have a suggestion for a challange i call homefield disadvantage challange in wchich To defeat any boss not only main bosses u need to use spells/weapons/incastations that lets just say are from this certain area for example if ur in limgrave ur only alloved to use weapons found in that area or any storm ashes of war if ur in liurnia u can only use weapons from that area or use glinstone spells if ur in altus weapons same as b4 but u can only use holy instastations in vulcano manor only weapons same rule as b4 but u can only use magma/fire incastaions in caelid only weapons same rule as b4 but also only things that aplly scarlet rot in dragonbarrow only beast instastaions or gurranqs dagger or dracon incastaions in mountaintops only weapons same rule as b4 and only frostbite weapons that apply frostbite or u can use spells that u can get from giants flame prayer book in crumbling farrum azula only beast incastaions or black flame incastations and so on i think u get what i mean
Instead of leveling everything and using random weapons, you probably could’ve planned your weapon order and used them by category and respec in between, strength, then dex, etc. It would probably make this much easier and it would be cool to see each weapon used to it’s fullest capability!
The coolest part about this challenge is that he collects all the legendary items, not just mods them in at the start. That's legendary in and of itself
I just wanna mention that I L O V E the bolt of Gransax! That weapon art just feels right, ya know? The oomph behind the cast and the throw and the knockback you get on enemies is wonderfull. Highly recommend that thing to any tarnished seeking a great weapon with good damage and surprisingly good range.
I have a idea for a challenge, you have to use the bosses weapons and can't move on to the next area without killing the boss first. Like in limgrave, you have to use godrick's and dragon, and then one you kill godrick, you have to use renalla's staff and spell
Founding rain of stars can be used at a distance, you also missed the godslayers greatsword it can be found at the bottom of the radahn tower and us the true final legendary weapon
I think a good challenge would be you have to defeat every rememberance boss by using a Ash of War to hit them one time, So one hit per Ash of War on a boss. You can still use the Ash of War after defeating the boss but no Ash of War can hit a boss more than 1 time. It would be fairly difficult but I think you can do it!
Because Bushy seemed to have some difficulties with Niall: Comet Azur works great against him. He stands there like a dumbass buffing his summons for what might as well be forever. While the summons do try to bumrush you, the hitbox on CA is quite wide, and they eventually run into it. Works like a charm.
Honestly, I kinda wanna see a Sorcery only Challenge run, where unless it's impossible otherwise, absolutely no legendary or difficult to obtain spells can be used. I want to know if it's even possible.
Thorny Bushy run! For equipment and damage, you can only use the briar armor set, marred shields, briar greatshield and briar sorceries (with staff of the guilty)! Attacking with greatshield only as last resort, so the rest gets time to shine. How about it?
Quick tip if you use dark moon great sword again you don’t need to use the weapon art every time for the ranged attack use can just use a heavy attack when it is glowing
Godslayer's greatsword isn't a legendary weapon. It sure does have the Golden background but it's not counted as legendary and does not add towards the 'collect all legendary armaments' trophy. On the other hand it's one of the best weapons in the game n I wish it was given the legendary title.

Nice job, but I think you forgot one legendary - Godslayer's Greatsword, from the bottom of Devine Tower in Caelid. Though it's a legendary armament, it doesn't show on any lists that I could find, so I see why you forgot or just didn't know.
It doesn't count as a legendary armament, for some reason it's just a legendary weapon as it doesn't count for the achievement
@@brandentaft5164 As far as I know there is no category for legendary weapons, the ones that count for the achievement all have part of the description as "one of the legendary armaments". Aside from being a lore-relevant weapon nothing is really important about the Godslayer Greatsword so it only counts as a normal weapon.
@@Mutor1337 As you open the chest it has a golden item glow only legendary things have this glow.
@@brandentaft5164 Legendary items, yes, meaning every important item has this golden glow. Certain armor has this glow, key items from quests (like the fingerslayer blade) as well, even the upgrade material for +10 special ashes (Great Ghost Glovewort) has it.
"Legendary" Armaments/Spells/Talismans/Ashes are identified by their specific description as well as counting for the achievement, not just because they are important for the game.
@@Mutor1337 Yes I know this I'm about to beat ng+2 no need for education but it has a gold glow making it a legendary weapon not one of THE legendary armaments
Kristoff absolutely crushing an orphanage was the funniest shit I’ve seen in a while, that’s so grim. Great vid as always bushy
4:50 There's also an AOE fire spell as a secondary weapon skill that works much better up close.
21:00 bushy’s dumbfounded “HUH?” is always funny every time it comes up in one of these videos
In theory, if you were using the Grafted Blade Greatsword and only meeting the stat requirements using your flask, could you continue using it once the flask runs out, just by keeping the AoW active since it increases all stats by 5?
The flask increases by 10.
I love how gracefully with open arms you welcomed the Regal Ancestor Spirit rolling into you with full speed at 22:38
that elden stars fight from 21:58 on was beautiful. that shit had me dying laughing lmfaooo
this was a really interesting way to showcase all the legendary weapons in the game
Bushy: I have to kill Greyoll without using any percentage based damage as there's no legendaries without it.
I find it insane that the Godslayer Greatsword or the Black Knife don't count as legendary items, or any of the remembrance items, despite the weapons having the gold banner and legendary pickup sound and making total sense to be legendary items from a lore sense.
Godslayer Greatsword: the sword used by the godskins' Queen
Black Knife: used during the Night of the Black Knifes to mark the first death of a demigod
Axe of Godfrey: owned by the first elden lord and first husband to Marika, and the Head of the Tarnished or something (not 100% sure on specifics of that part)
Maliketh's Black Blade: the sword used by the Harbinger of Destined Death and Guardian of Marika
Sacred Relic Sword: the FUCKING SPINE OF RADAGON repurposed as a sword by what is essentially the Greater Will's ambassador
Hey Bushy, I just wanted to recommend you a challenge run that I feel is pretty enjoyable, the run is Champion/Remembrance items only! The rules are fairly simple, you can use your starting weapon though you cannot wear armor until you are able to purchase it from the Finger Reader in the roundtable hold. The Flask Of Wonderous Physic is allowed though you can set more harsh rules to make this challenge harder. You are not allowed to use any incantations either. Fairly simple challenge, I hope you try it out, it's very fun, enjoyable, and fresh!
“What you’re doing here, not gonna lie, kinda cringe”
I love the idea of the tarnished, in canon, saying that to Godfrey.
Love the content, it's "legendary". You actually inspired me to stream my first-ever challenge run. I'm doing shields-only.
Really happy you’re using spirit summons! It’s just as fun to watch
Just wanted to tell you that I really enjoy your content keep it up 👍🏻
Man somehow perfectly recreated my first attempt at fighting Mohg.
I found your channel when you had around 6k subs, and have since watched every ER challenge, really happy for you and the success of your channel!
Anyone else notice how Bushy sounds JUST like Gatekeeper Gostoc when he chuckles?
22:07 is a perfect example. 😂
Hey bushy i have an idea for a challenge! Can you beat elden ring while the enemy is invinsible?
That's just dumb
He did it tho
Here’s a challenge idea: bosses only. You can only use weapons, armor, and spells that drops from bosses/remembrances. In addition to this, you can only level/buy remembrances and armors/upgrade weapons with runes dropped from bosses.
I guess you would go to rykard first preferably kill him with spent serpent hunter and use blasphemous Blade
I don't know if this will be interesting or not, but while watching this run I came out with the idea of 'rememberance chain run'. Kill a rememberance boss with starting equipment -> kill the next rememberance boss with the previous boss rememberance weapon -> continue the chain'.
I think it’d be cool to see a run similar to this in the rules regarding weapon “retirement” but with boss (remembrance) weapons / spells / armour / etc. Although it’d have to either be in NG+ or some cheating might need to be used to obtain the first usable weapon, as well as to have the stats to wield them.
It would have been cool to see God-slayer Great sword since it is also a legendary armament, and has pretty low stat requirements ( 20 str, 22 dex, 20 fai)
Plus it can do over 3,000 damage with one swing of the skill(idk about rn though) and the second swing can do even more plus you have the black flame effect.
love how much effort he puts into his challenges. keep up the good work 🖤
Loving every video you put out brother, I can't tell you how entertaining it is to tune in to every cool idea you get. I know I can't expect a video every time but I find myself craving more at the end of each one. So whatever you're doing, keep putting crack in it LOL
32:45 I love founding rain so much. Messes with people's heads in pvp
Nice challenge run, well done as usual
You missed an opportunity to kil Elden Beast with the Godslayer Greatsword though
It would fail the challenge though, the Godslayer Greatsword isn't one of the legendary armaments
@@Mutor1337 Is it though? I remember it has that orange-tinted weapon card.
@@4Roman204 Yes, it counts as a legendary item. Just like certain armor, key quest items or upgrade materials the game gives it the golden glow (as well as the gold-tinted-background) as an item, because it obviously is lore-relevant and a pretty strong weapon.
The thing that makes a weapon "legendary" though, is a specific line in the description reading "one of the legendary armaments", as well as counting for the achievement, which only the nine weapons Bushy mentioned do.
@@Mutor1337 Oh, I see. Thank you for the clarification
I just did a run like this, and believe it or not, I actually found a use for Elden Stars. At the Mohgwyn Palace farming spot, the Stars incantation has just long enough range to reach the bird on the other side of the cliff, so you can do the bird strats without a bow.
That's it, that's the only use.
The one thing I wish elden ring did better was movesets. That is the only thing I think could have been more unique ala bloodborne, they are just the same movesets we’ve seen since ds1 bar a few and I wish they updated them. I feel like at least the legendary armaments should have gotten unique to their class movesets
21:30 This is a thing? I've done 5 playthroughs, 2 with guides, and not once have I found this or heard it even mentioned. Crazy how much more Elden Ring has to offer.
black knife is a Legendary Weapon :( it needs more love
29:50 legit never seen one of those guys in the Consecrated Snowfield….in a dozen play thrus of the game…
Bro you put out more content doing tough challenges faster than most youtubers
Cosplay run next? After every remembrance you must dress up as that boss and use only attacks that they used.
First, great video! was really fun to watch. Second i had a really neat idea for a challenge, after each attempt of a boss, meaning enemy with a boss hp bar, you have to put the weapon or spell in storage and it becomes unusable. and to make things more interesting no leveling vigor. I think it could be a really fun live stream and then YT vid. cheers!
Fun fact - If you fight Malenia with Ogha for fire support he turns it into a comedy act. He'll just stay by the gate where you summon him, knocking her down repeatedly
I have a suggestion for a challange i call homefield disadvantage challange in wchich
To defeat any boss not only main bosses u need to use spells/weapons/incastations that lets just say are from this certain area for example if ur in limgrave ur only alloved to use weapons found in that area or any storm ashes of war if ur in liurnia u can only use weapons from that area or use glinstone spells if ur in altus weapons same as b4 but u can only use holy instastations in vulcano manor only weapons same rule as b4 but u can only use magma/fire incastaions in caelid only weapons same rule as b4 but also only things that aplly scarlet rot in dragonbarrow only beast instastaions or gurranqs dagger or dracon incastaions in mountaintops only weapons same rule as b4 and only frostbite weapons that apply frostbite or u can use spells that u can get from giants flame prayer book in crumbling farrum azula only beast incastaions or black flame incastations and so on i think u get what i mean
Are you okay
Good luck beating Rykard with fire damage. I'll leave that for you to lab out.
Dude, read over your comment before post it
22:26
That's my boy
*mimic tear gets crushed*
NO MY BOY!!
mimic: FATHER HELP!
Instead of leveling everything and using random weapons, you probably could’ve planned your weapon order and used them by category and respec in between, strength, then dex, etc.
It would probably make this much easier and it would be cool to see each weapon used to it’s fullest capability!
The coolest part about this challenge is that he collects all the legendary items, not just mods them in at the start. That's legendary in and of itself
Would have loved for this run to only use the legendary weapon skill only.
Great run nonetheless.
I find it fascinating most of these runs just devolve to you sitting there wailing on the junk of giants…
I just wanna mention that I L O V E the bolt of Gransax!
That weapon art just feels right, ya know? The oomph behind the cast and the throw and the knockback you get on enemies is wonderfull.
Highly recommend that thing to any tarnished seeking a great weapon with good damage and surprisingly good range.
I have a idea for a challenge, you have to use the bosses weapons and can't move on to the next area without killing the boss first. Like in limgrave, you have to use godrick's and dragon, and then one you kill godrick, you have to use renalla's staff and spell
Could you do "beating elden ring but with only Aoe attacks"
or "beating elden ring only with weapon arts"
He did Kick only which is an extreme version of the Weapon Art only run
Founding rain of stars can be used at a distance, you also missed the godslayers greatsword it can be found at the bottom of the radahn tower and us the true final legendary weapon
Love the content man, keep doing what you do best :)
27:45 the item sound was perfectly timed with his mouth movement
There’s legendary items, and there’s katanas
nobody understands how underrated he is, "oh yea bud" when I heard it. I subscribed.
21:20 that guy really swished the explosive pot right into the sewer hole to get you damn lmao
I think a good challenge would be you have to defeat every rememberance boss by using a Ash of War to hit them one time, So one hit per Ash of War on a boss. You can still use the Ash of War after defeating the boss but no Ash of War can hit a boss more than 1 time. It would be fairly difficult but I think you can do it!
6:40 holy fuck did radahn just squees leanord underground
“We aren’t getting one-shot”
Astel: skiddly bop mm dadap
I subscribe for the sinister, Donald-Duck-style giggling.
It's honestly the best part of each video.
15:40 This is not Blaidd ! This ennemy's name is literally on top of his head lmao
But it is literally Blaidd.
12:35, 13:10 I never knew you spoke XQCyanese Bushy.
That imp with the fire pot was the highlight of this video, just full court precision
That Mimic Tear + Elden Stars bit was hilarious lmao
Because Bushy seemed to have some difficulties with Niall: Comet Azur works great against him. He stands there like a dumbass buffing his summons for what might as well be forever. While the summons do try to bumrush you, the hitbox on CA is quite wide, and they eventually run into it. Works like a charm.
Honestly, I kinda wanna see a Sorcery only Challenge run, where unless it's impossible otherwise, absolutely no legendary or difficult to obtain spells can be used. I want to know if it's even possible.
Black Knife Tiche my beloved maiden. Always there to save my ass from a boss.
39:42 radagon looking like the anime villain deflecting your strongest attack.
Ghandhi: The man who was against violence
Giga Gandhi: Out here "killing" bosses to become the lord.
21:01 I feel your pain. Imps in my opinion are the most annoying enemy ever,
Thorny Bushy run! For equipment and damage, you can only use the briar armor set, marred shields, briar greatshield and briar sorceries (with staff of the guilty)! Attacking with greatshield only as last resort, so the rest gets time to shine. How about it?
23:15 that poor table stood no chance
if u havent already, u could do a little quick guide on all the bosses like how u attack and how u dodge some of the core moves
Bro that imp threw a godly fire pot. Shot that right through the small opening oh my god.
Ngl thanks a bunch for that note about the bolt of gransax I would’ve been really bummed if I missed it in this play through
Quick tip if you use dark moon great sword again you don’t need to use the weapon art every time for the ranged attack use can just use a heavy attack when it is glowing
42:20 for a second I thought you triggered an Elden Ring ending that summoned a plane lol.
Bro is single-handedly carrying the Elden ring UA-cam side of things ❤
I love sonaf even after the nerf because of its stagger effect on its laser attack. Makes it useful against certain enemies
2:25 turns into Arthur Morgan
"My boy! my orphanage slaying boy!" - classic
21:00 omg that lil gargoyle's trick shot xD
The dark moon greatsword is my favorite weapon (for no reason in particular) so I’m glad to see it got used on the hardest boss.
Elden Ring challenge run where every time you die you have to drop one/one random/every piece of equipment you're wearing?
"there is no legendary items in the game that does percentile based damage."
Godslayer greatsword: am I a joke to you?
Godslayer's greatsword isn't a legendary weapon. It sure does have the Golden background but it's not counted as legendary and does not add towards the 'collect all legendary armaments' trophy. On the other hand it's one of the best weapons in the game n I wish it was given the legendary title.
