      Considering an "Elden Ring as Miyazaki Intended" run where I'm RL1, can only use kick attacks, and can't wear any shoes. I'd rush Mohg, kill him... somehow, grab the dry leaf arts and only use the kick attacks. Iirc, only the sprinting and jumping heavies when using it with both hands, but also the charged heavy when using it with one

    It would be awesome to see a literal “broken” build where you can only use weapons, armor and items that are physically broken (Fingerprint armor, scavenger’s curved sword, omen bairn), which could also make for a fun title of “Beating Elden Ring with a literal “BROKEN” build”

    If you ever decide to suffer this run through the DLC, I suggest picking up the armour of Night.
    Does it have "ring" in the name? No
    Is it made from rings? No
    Is there anything even remotely ring-shaped about it? No
    BUT: If you look at it for but a moment, you will realize it truly befits a lord of rings.

    the only thing that they could done whit malenia, since she is blind, is if you use the talisman that dont let you make a sound she could be lost and attacking blindly or only attacking if you touch her in some manner. That could be lore friendly and maybe quite intresting thing to have in the game
