They hit me... they hit me not... what a pain in the bud.
However the real pain was the production itself. I have never in the 4 and half years I've been on youtube encountered this many technical problems and completely out of nowhere... from the recording all the way to the very uploading process itself (in fact for fuck knows why, it still says that this video is processing right now.) So yeah, this video is already a week late and I know it still has some issue like that the audio is shifted in some place. But I am BEYOND done with this nightmare of a video. So hope you all enjoy, but I'm taking a reak after this shitshow. My brain is infected with rot at this point

Have a good day press continue
recently, so many problem with youtube. Some have no thumbnail until 15min after, upload loop make the person upload multiple times or take 4 times the time to upload a video. For me the website have some problem, I click backward, but the page is still stuck at the video that is playing, refuse to return to previous page.
very nice video as always, maybe an elden stars only run next?
@@makka9981 I'm actually not even sure if that's physically possible, but I'm also not eager to find out
Hehe pupa
on the one hand, this might be one of the shittiest incantations in the game, but on the other hand you look absolutely fabulous using it
At least it is the best hit and run incantations on open field bosses
It's like if fashion was a spell. You use it because of how it looks, not because of what benefits it has.
@@darianclark3980 rotten breath is just better than it as a hit and run, too
It's great against smaller field enemies. I'd say litany of proper death is the worst
That is how I am doing a personal challenge run I am using the pulley bow and only using the rainbow stone arrows it made be hard but I am making bosses look fantastic before they die
Imagine you are a Radahn soldier, fighting for years to contain the rot in Caelid, then someone just constantly used Scarlet Aeonia all across the Lands Between
You cannot convince me that he doesn't spend more time coming up with all of these puns than he needs for the actual run.
In my opinion, the Scarlet Aeonia should have insane poise/posture damage.
To my knowledge, the explosion from it has one of the longest windups so it should make sense that it should deal more damage, better rot build-up, and heavy posture damage
That and the huge posture damage could potentially stun the enemy so they sit in the damage and can't just keep smacking you while you are in the recovery animation.
They put a lot of cool attacks in the game but forgot to make sure they were actually usable.
They should absolutley do this, sure It makes sense that they can knock you out of It mid Air but anywhere after that is just ridículous especially after the explosion, its extremley slow and easy to Dodge make It apply to the rules those atributes usually mean on weapons/encantations. Imagine something like comet azur only doing a 100 damage max
or at least give you IFrames while inside the puppa because , ya know , youre INSIDE THE FUCKIN ROT FLOWER
It’s a shame that one of the coolest looking spells is simultaneously one of the shittiest, and probably even hurts spell casters by costing 3 slots
Especially given that the other rot incantations are more practical and quicker and easier to acquire
@@PressContinue *cough* ezekey’s decay *cough* *cough*
Haha mimic goes pupa for you.
A lot of cool spells are like that on this game sadly.
I love this spell 😂
If Scarlet Aeonia went higher up into the air and gave you a ton of control over where you land, just like Malenia's version, it would be powerful. But no matter how creative and flashy they get with the spells, none of these games have ever given you that much control over them for some reason. It's a shame.
Flashy spells have unfortunately always been bad. Comet azur is the only exception
@@genesisosuna yeah... honestly it feels like fromsoft just gave us azurs comet so we don't bitch and moan about being stuck behind the difficulty.. (no complaints here)
Unfortunately, that would be way too big of a mobility tool ruining most of the entire game's map design, so it couldn't be allowed.
@@genesisosuna comet azure used to be called soul stream in ds3 and it used to be garbage back then lol.
@@UsamaKhan-xx4nw its not that it was garbage, but that we didnt have the folask for infinite cast. that makes a world of diference. tie that with how the arenas are far bigger than the ones in ds3, and its easier to see why its far more usable in ER compared to DS3.
"It cost Malenia an arm and a leg."
I literally rolled my eyes. Ok, I'll subscribe.
Worst part of scarlet aeonia?
Rotten breath and Ezkyke's decay are just better
Yes they most certainly are
Better damage, higher scarlet rot buildup, and you can use it from a distance that's not 7.2 centimeters
I think they could some sort of damage protection while using scarlet Aenoia not hyper armor but increase damage negation
@@rhysofsneezingdragon1758 Also available from the start of the game.
@@rhysofsneezingdragon1758 Yea, all those points are true except for the higher buildup. Rot breath can indeed inflict higher buildup provided you have the full 104 fp for a full cast. Aeonia has better buildup per fp but it’s so slow and risky that breath and almost all other options for rotting enemies are better. It really needs a buff 😔
If this incantation destroyed enemy projectiles like the moon sorceries it might at least be usable, but if a non dragon incantation attack was useful this wouldn't be elden ring.
there are plenty of great incantations, that deal good dmg. But not of them is direct dmg. I fell in love with flame grant me strength, golden vow, purifying flame (or howeven the one that removes scarlet rot is called) and the bloodfly swarm is also nice. in my exp the dragon incantations felt absolutely terrible. They hit like a truck, if they land, but the dmg to fb ratio is terrible and being stuck into animations sux too.
You're not putting enough value in many of the game's incantations. You can get great damage from many of the flame, black flame, and lightning incantations, and a lot have more subversive uses than you'd think. Also, pest threads might be the best offensive incantation for general use, doing solid physical damage, having great homing capabilities, being able to hit multiple times on large enemies due to piercing, and being quick and cheap to cast. You only need about 10 casts of it to defeat the Elden Beast with a fully upgraded seal and good enough stats.
Here I am loving my aspects of the crucible. They may be mediocre incantations, but they’re my mediocre incantations.
Black Flame incantations are pretty good, especially against really strong bosses. The buffs you can get are great as well (Flame, Cleanse Me is great vs Lake of Rot).
I do wish it was closer to Malenia's, though, higher damage, more rot, bigger aoe, and more mobility.
@@watchfulwanderer6443 All it really needs, I think, is more hyper armor and a drastic damage resistance (maybe even some i-frames) briefly after startup to until the blooming. No more getting knocked out of it unless you're smacked during the first half-second or so of the jump up, and it would only really be punishable after the explosion has missed.
Ah yes, Scarlet Aeonia; looked so cool when I first tried it out.
...All it took was using it once in pvp and getting wrecked after the other player just walked it off to realize that looks was all that flower had going for it, lmao. Of course you being the madman you are did a whole run with it.
Insanity, thy name is Press Continue🙃🦋
As the famous saying goes:
*Fly like a Butterfly;*
*Sting like a Pupa*
Mmm sounds about right
The shield perfume is a must for glass cannon builds. Or, just, “glass bones and paper skin” builds.
Still won’t save you from Malenia though
the thing that confuses me most with this incantation is how the Thundercloud form Weapon Art acts almost exactly the same but doesn't lock you into an animation afterwards, costs less FP, and tmk gives you I frames on the dive
No s, but a ton of hyperarmor I think
From software has never been good at balancing their games. Whether armored core (it took them until armored core for answer to nerf one of the most op weapons), sekiro (one mind and spiral cloud passage used to cost ridiculous amounts of emblems for what you got out of them) or elden ring (glintstone pebble being much better than any other sorceries, plenty of questionably usable spells...)
50:33 some historians say that Sophocles came up with the concept of “tragedy” right after watching this scene
Malenia, only wifu in the soulsbornkiroring series that actually flashes you.
I’ll do it again dammit
@@shagarumedic dew it
@@shagarumedic I KILLED YOU ALREADY DAMMIT HOW DID YOU COME BACK
Qualagg was close
@@youarecorrectandiamwrong.8646 Order 69.
Fun fact: the pupa/chrysalis of a butterfly is actually grown under its skin. When it’s time for metamorphosis it climbs up gets stuck and starts wriggling out of its own skin and the shell hardens. Then it’s stomach acids starts devolving it on the inside, melting it toxic sludge (“primordial goo” if you want) just a few cells survive and uses the larva slurpy as material to build the next stage with the pupa as a frame as it has designated place for where the wings go. Finally it breaks free from the protective carcass of its former self as a practically totally different being (ship of Theseus semantic) and flys straight to *BONETOWN!* drinking nectar and dies a week later
This spell is SOOOOO much better after the recent patch. Being able to roll out of the bloom is a godsend, in my opinion theme biggest problem with this spell was it made you a sitting duck for like 5 seconds straight, now it no longer feels like that.
Yeah this run would have been very very different after that patch
The perfect spiritual successor to the butterfly only run. Damn press I hope this Run didn't completely rot you away. Haven't heard you this dejected since the end of the Holy Damage only run. Maybe for the next run you could try to pick something less, dare I say, rotten? In any case, great video as always. Especially this part 15:27 XD. And this 15:37
During the draconic tree sentinel fight, you can run far enough away to de-aggro him, so you can get another free hit
8:43
the joke at 21:00 caught me so off guard but was the funniest thing i’ve heard all week, great video
That one was pretty hilarious and clever ngl xD
genuinely lol'd at the Metal Gear reference. The Otacon glasses push was icing on the cake
This was a hella difficult challenge. You have all my admiration that you had patience and interest in completing the run and you defo deserve a relaxing weekend without any fromsoft game and flower in proximity.
I love how you made your character look like Maleina's voice actress, nice detail!
I guess it would have been, but this is what character has always looked like
@@PressContinue oh, Nice coincidence then
"Whenever Malenia decides you die, you die"
I need a t-shirt with that
Massive respect for doing this insane run on NG+
52:50 the reason why you can't trigger some multiphase bosses (like the duo or malenia) transition with a DoT or a critical is because it's a hard fix from the developers to avoid the multiphase instakill glitch. Thinking of that, they have this issue since mergo's wetnurse in BB (where she takes double poison damage)
damn... Your pain is delicious NOMNOMNOMNOMNOMNOMNOM🤌, anyway, I love the scarlet pupa, the biggest call back of the century ten out of ten additionally, you are now a true pupa, unable to attack, unable to defend, hoping to the elden lord you fail to get hit. Finally, a lore accurate pupa depiction, and I just love the true representation of the pupa in this video. Thank you for the recognizing of the oft forgotten parts of the butterfly, we gotta recognize the beauty, the weakness, and the ugly parts too.
"The crutch fungus stares back at you"
Amazing!
In the beginning of the video you said you thought it wouldn't be too hard of a run, and all I could think was "oh you poor sweet summer child." I did dragon incantations only and hand ballista only, and those felt like they took an eternity, I'm pretty sure aeonia is longer, so I definitely feel your pain, but amazing video! Recording problems or not you killed it this run!!!
I love your challenge runs, it's always something like "it's an scarlet aeonia only run, but I can't level up, roll or do anything that would make it possible"
United Stakes of Marika, greatest checkpoint in the world...
Omg I laughed a little too hard at that one!
Geez you got so many bosses to virtually 1hp just to have to land another attack or die. What a brutal run.
The cut at 15:28 had me laughing. Thanks for an awesome video
Press.... I don't think this was meant for bosses! It's a good complement to certain spells in normal PvE but anything with half decent poise will easily resist it! But I suspect you know that already...
Now time for your channel to bloom as much as this character.
Always hyped when I see a new vid from you in my feed.
Love the intro songs, would be fun if someone did an "instruments are never animated correctly" video on one of them. With them just hitting all the strings at the same time and stuff
OMG that intro band play was beyond God tier editing skills instant follow absolutely loved it man 😍 😂
the amount of effort you put into these videos is fantastic and i absolutely applaud your work my man, thank you very much :D
I love all your puns, especially "witness true horror loux" xD
Love your channel, major balls to do most of the challenge runs you do.
At this rate he's gonna become the frenzied flame and kill everyone.
Your videos are so good to fall asleep to. Like I also really like watching them but the vibes and everything are so relaxing and when I'm tired this is just perfect for dozing off
Damn do i love occasional alliterations in your videos, really pulls the attention towards the narrative instead of video footage
Been so hyped for this video!!
After browsing through multiple DS / Elden Ring Challenge channels, yours and Gamers Weekend are by far the best imo.
You deserve a ton more subscribers! Thanks for the video! :)
Hey, Lemon's Backlogs are also great.
Baron's Castle is also great
I really enjoy the pupa legend in your videos. Keep them coming bro
Glad you pushed through the tech issues to give us this masterpiece!
Fun fact, you can't kill Malenia phase 1 with a critical bc there's a glitch where if you do she spawns in 2nd phase and dies immediately, they couldn't figure out how to fix it so they did that instead
Awesome run :) it took me a minute to notice there are no walls cause i was obsessed to go everywhere on my first playthrough fomo and all that
I’m back finally. I’ve worked my way through your past elden ring challenges and i can’t wait for more.
Hey quick question, are you ever gonna do RL1, ng+7 with only (insert bad weapon)? I wonder which one you would use this time, bad weapons are not hard to find, but fire giant and godskin duo exist, so that kinda limits your options if you don’t want to have hour long fights.
Very likely that I'll eventually something along those lines yes
so long as parrying is allowed the Duo wouldn't be all that bad tbh, Godskin Nobles are probably the easiest boss in ER to parry, and one of the easier bosses since Gwyn to parry and the riposte I-frames would keep safe from the apostle usually
@@leftyer9102 But a lot less when you need to be perfect to not get oneshot. Also he would have to establish what is allowed, like for example, are the shield aromatics ok? Because with those i don't see them being much of a problem (assuming they can prevent the oneshot) but without, it gets inconsistent. If everything is allowed there's probably at least a work around most problems though
Dude, you’re SO funny! Thank you for the content.
The puns are amazing. The spiel after the fire giant was so well executed and a hilarious lead in into the duo. Awesome video!
Give the little chrysalids the message. That I love them. And that, despite my craven heart, I'm sure I'll be joining their club soon enough!
Thank you for introducing me to Draconian! I'm loving their music!
This is by far one of the most entertaining videos I’ve seen on yt
10:40 "bear with me" while a rune bear is woth you, that was epic !
It makes me very happy that you still decided to do the intro 😅
Happy you made another challenge run like this 🕺🏻
Here we go again, i'm gonna enjoy this
I'm less than 2 minutes in and i already appreciate the awesome alliteration thats going on!
Best Elden Soulsborne entertainment out there! Easily! Keep on keepin' on!
Very nice video 👍🏻!
Enjoyed watching you deserve a like.
Keep going brother 👍🏻!
I loved the bit about the united stakes of Marika😂 I respect your wittiness good sir, the very reason I watch ur pupa videos😂
Loved every, single, adorable pupa joke you mede man. Also, big oof for the "accident" with elden beast😅
Thirty seconds in and the pupa jokes begin yessss
Amazing video. You truly have far more patience than I do. However, and I don't know if this was fully intentional, when it comes to Melania you really made it harder for yourself by not equipping any heavier armor. It may be thematically appropriate but her "armor" is all fashion and no defense. With a proper set up of talismans, spells, consumables, and armor you can easily survive a full Waterfowl with roughly half HP remaining. In my experience this is what works for me:
-Banished Knight Helmet (unaltered, pain to get but objectively better than the normal one)
-Banished Knight Armor (unaltered, an even bigger pain to get but still worth it)
-Bull-Goat Gauntlets
-Bull-Goat Leggings
-Dragoncrest Greatshield Talisman (+20% physical negation)
-Opaline Hardtear (+15% damage negation across the board for 3 full minutes)
-Black Flame's Protection (you already know what this does)
-Golden Vow (highly optional but nice, +15% damage and +10% damage negation for 70s)
Optional replacement for Black Flame:
-Boiled Crab (the most optional item on the list as it's fairly out of the way and is basically a non-FP cost replacement to Black Flame, +20% physical negation for 60s)
add in Erdtree's Blessing and the Blessed Dew Talisman and you have a nigh indestructible and passively regenerating monster. Though the Endurance requirement for the armor is hefty at like 40ish
Its one rot of a game! Thuis run embodies ‘that escalated quickly’. Was a lot of fun to watch though, thanks for struggling through Press.
42:37 I just love it..."No! Don't monologue when you're dying"
As always, your pun work is excellent.
Having just picked up and started playing. Having gotten through this part already for the first time. Killed Rennala, etc. It wasn't until this moment, 11:18 that i learned about this... wow. I am enjoying the video. Just had to comment this cause it blew my mind lol
Saw the "poopa" joke coming a mile away, but laughed like an idiot still. Wonderful delivery!
bro i fucking LOVE YOUR SHIT SO MUCH. the music, the jokes, everything. every time you post i am so stoked to get upwards of a few hours of content holy fuck. i just got home from one of the best games of rugby ive seen in my life - GO QUEENSLAND - and am drunk and am so stoked to watch this.
Well I suppose that my videos are best watched while drunk to begin with 😁
I can tell you’re drunk 💀 but you’re right this dudes videos are amazing
I almost rotted my pants with how close that last heal against Maliketh was. Spectacular performance, sir.
Ah yes, the good old "watch them die from cholera" tactic.
A real pupa version of malenias scarlet aoneia
Finally the only person who's elden ring content I enjoy watching (as a person who does not like elden ring) dropped a vid. Also so you have any plans of when you will (press) continue your armorless run of mhw iceborne
LOL, that's from years ago. And got like 200 views or something. So... yeah I kinda doubt if I'll ever continue that
Damn Draconian was so unexpected, I love you man
32:45 The Godskin Noble learned the secret of how Ornstein gets around pillars when he charges.
I feel so bad for you press hahahah, they just buffed your famous poopa flower spell. I guess all have to watch this one more time now that I’m here. Idk why, but I just leave your videos running while i go to sleep and sometimes a pun will be so strong that it wakes me from REM sleep at 3am
It's really surprising how many people tell me that they fall asleep to my videos.
i here a little spark of dutch in the voice, AMAZING. i lolve the content btq, i knew you were dutch cus of your dutch jokes lol
Very creative video and you are a cool guy, subscribed
Thanks and welcome to the channel :)
The tabs...magnificent
I’m glad someone mentioned that these bosses have an rng aspect to them. You get a good set of attacks you can even defeat melania easy. NO ONE ELSE HAS NOTICED THIS. liked and subscribed
Edit. If I could give two likes. The other like would be for draconic tree sentinel. F that boss.
I had no idea I needed Nightcore'd Draconian in my life until now.
Bloodflower is an amazing song.
Just subbed. Love your videos.
The hippie run: Flower Power
You make great videos! Thank you! Amen.
I mean
on one hand there's pointing out that stuff does so much dmg and oneshots, and that this skill most of the time trades dmg
on the other hand greeding 80 faith in light armor, while most of the dmg comes from rot anyways isntead of getting that 40 vigor and some heavier armor
oh well
was a little painful to watch ngl
great video!
I was looking forward to this run so much time for another poopa run
He finally did it,
He did a pupa only run
That was a rather operatic “fuck” at around 42:15 and I appreciate it.
Draconian? You Sir, a man of culture as well
The mighty pupa returned
Never thought I’d be so excited to see another pupa
The pupa never dies
The arm and leg joke earned you a sub lmao
Welcome to the channel :)
The only thing better than this run is that stakes of Marika joke. Fuckin 11/10 my guy
Very well edited intro!
Great Video 👍🏼👍🏼
Absolute legend
