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.
There are few things as satisfying as watching someone who you enjoy watching play other games, play elden ring, and then proceed to get their shit kicked in at every opportunity. I'm looking forward to seeing more of this should you decide to make them, Elden Ring is fun to watch and even more fun to play
15:30 for you and any newer player, never ever no matter what ever dodge backwards from a thrust attack. Guaranteed death. Always forward or to the side (depending)
@@SohighShyloh I scrolled through the contents to see if someone else said it! It’s been bugging me the rest of the video knowing he is making it harder on himself 🤣
Malenia is definitely my favourite boss - the way shes more humanoid and similar size to the tarnished, and her one handing a katana makes it feel like a real duel and I love it.
you've probably learned this after that rough experience, but if an enemy does a running at you attack, it's safer to roll straight through it and pretend it's not there than to roll away from it repeatedly, fuckin amazing challenge though, loved how your warhammer slipped through when you said you reached "rank 89" lol
I would absolutely love to see you do the DLC with this challenge. I would also personally argue that other armors with chainmail as part of them or that depict rings would be okay to use.
Thought at first you were calling talismans "rings" as that's what they are in the Dark Souls games and thought "that doesn't sound right for Elden Ring". Completely different challenge idea than what I was thinking but I'm not complaining, haha
i totally agree with you for malenia, one of my favorite boss period , imo it's a good thing they gave her heath regen , otherwise many would complain on how she is one of the easiest boss late game, i like to parry here
next challenge: beat Dark Souls using only the dark! it's easier to do that on DS2, given you can meet a merchant that sells hexes quite easily, just gotta make a boss fall into its death, level up some intelligence and faith, pay a scammer to open a gate (you could also make her fall into her death, but that would involve punching), and that's it
*Complains about Godskin duo arena having pillars that mush camera against your face, asking for flat arena that doesn't interfere with camera* *Complains about Radagon's arena being flat and not having terrain that interferes with the camera* I like the video, very enjoyable, but just felt like pointing that out. (Also, yes, I too hate it when im fighting the camera more than im fighting the boss)
10:32 "Someone on the dev team"?! Bro the call is coming from inside the house, Mr. Hide-your-tacos Miyazaki is the suspected cause behind the choices in footwear.
Why, why, WHY I cannot find a single comment about the fact this man spent time to implement one of the best memes ever in video format while being actually fun and not cringe af? "Life is unjust, like a bwegretoi, Zanzibart" >Pats brain
First video of yours I’ve come across (was searching for challenge runs) and I notice most of your content is focused on a single game, so it’s cool that youre diversifying!
If you go for the DLC, theres the weapon Thiollier's Hidden Needle. It is arguably the most fitting weapon for this challenge since it is really a ring. Quite the OP moveset as well.
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
Random, but you liking Malania makes me really hopeful. My second fav boss is messmer, my fav is consort Radhan, I hope malenia is just as good as them.
my first malenia i cheesed the heck outta it with pre nerf sword of night and flame and pre nerf mimic tear, and it still took me hours. Have since beat her 1v1 with a unga bunga build, but yeah shes great.
29:22 "From the moment I understood the weakness of my flesh, it disgusted me. I craved the strength and certainty of steel. I aspired to the purity of the Blessed Machine."
I feel like the halo scythe would have counted since it comes with ring of light has halo in the name (halos are literally just rings above the head) and even the blade is extremely circular though the drop rate for them is abysmal
I thought this was a talisman only run because I forgot they aren't called rings. Though I don't even know what a talisman only run would look like since there's no talisman that deals damage.
No rush. Your channel..... BUT I would absolutely love a legit play through of total war. Your content is so engaging and funny. I know that campaign would be hilarious.
The ring incantations are so good, beat the whole game with them as Goldmask. Discus does a shocking amount of damage for only 3 fp, Radagon’s Rings obliterated Malenia for me, the new Repeating Ring is also so good against big targets.
Important to note, the moment you reached Altus you can trigger Corhyn to move there and tell him where the goldmask is, where he will sell discus of light immediately, I did this for my own ring run.
Malenia isn't the hardest boss in all FromSoft games as a lot of people say. But she for sure is in the top tier difficulty range and she is also the most fun boss to beat in all the games I've ever played in general.
one of my favorite builds to use is the snow witch build. only snow sorceries, snow witch robes, and lots of pain. range: not nearly as much as other, potential sorceries. damage output: same. but goddamn, is the drip worth it
I really like this video. I like Elden ring and watching you play this challenge was really fun! No reall challenge ideas from me but I’d love to see some more when you want to make them!
Minor correction - at 10:52 I upgraded the Ringed Finger to +6, not +7. Also, don't forget to try Asphalt Legends Unite! gmlft.co/brilliantstupidity

Next challege: beat elden ring with only arrows
Someone forgot the halo scythe, for what is a halo if not a holy ring
Next Challenge: can you beat it using only the elderly?
Momma Brilliant reveal?
Only noble spirit summons
I just watched a vile meme comp
The only way i can see this is as a sexual innuendo 😭😭
*can you only beat up the elderly
Challenge after, beating the elserly with only rings
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”
I dont think scavengers curved sword is broken its just serrated
@@ðen Warped axe it is then
@@bynumboggs4103 godfrey's axe has a broken head too
Only runes from broken runes count 🤣
10:30 Well of course that would be none other than Hidetaka Miyazaki himself
Thought that was common knowledge lol bro is the only consistent variable with feet being in every game
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.
This would be the Sauron set, methinks.
@@Xysterr1 Yes, and Sauron, being the one responsible for the Rings of Power, is in fact the Lord of Rings.
@@mimictear6788He is, in fact, the lord of the rings.
and possibly the ring blades
@@apocolototh1948One ring to rule them all, one ring to find them, one ring to bring the all, and in the darkness bind them.
miyazaki himself would be the only one to make sellen the most beautiful NPC, cover her face on stone, and leave her feet exposed
...and this was only the beginning.
Don't complete her quest.
@@standingdoor7077Yeah, Renalla's revenge is brutally horrifying
Sauron's been awful quiet since this dropped.

Can you beat warhammer only using... warhammers?
Actually might be a fun one lol. Can't think of any faction other than the Dwarfs who have dedicated warhammers, though.
@@BrilliantStupidity Nurgle barbarians i guess
@@BrilliantStupidity Maybe Kholek? He has a hammer, at least a few of his units also have hammers.
@@Daedalus-Inc Nurgle chaos warriors and their variants have warhammers!
Karl Franz only campaign when ?
I never expected an elden ring video
"somebody on the dev team has a thing for feet"
yeah, we know, it's Miyazaki
BABY'S FIRST MELANIA! Unironically im soo proud of you
25:46 To be fair, if he had sheathed his sword anime style, the top half of the column would've slid to the ground

@@SohighShyloh I scrolled through the contents to see if someone else said it! It’s been bugging me the rest of the video knowing he is making it harder on himself 🤣
it is amazing to see someone actually smash his head against a wall and learn the movesets instead of cheesing the bosses, great job!
Nice branch out dude. Your humour and antics works for this type of gameplay/content too, so well done!
Malenia is definitely my favourite boss - the way shes more humanoid and similar size to the tarnished, and her one handing a katana makes it feel like a real duel and I love it.
She is twice the size of the Tarnished tho
@@Ron_Jambo_ as opposed to radhan being how many times our size
@@errorcode9542 Huh ? Are you dense ??
@Ron_Jambo_ when compared to other bosses shes JUST twice our our size
@@Ron_Jambo_ yeah, similar size relative to how much bigger than us all of the other bosses are

Fair warning, the law and order sound is copyrighted, and they'll claim it if they notice
Wait what? Damn, that’s at least a thousand videos.
It falls under fair use, they can't actually do shit from a legal standpoint. But they can still have UA-cam strike the video
@@splitzyprime419 yeah they've done it to channels before, and with UA-cams strike limit it can really suck.
By all means draw attention it.
@splitzyprime419 it actually isn't fair use. Read the laws about it this usage doesn't fall under fair use
I'm never gonna get tired of people coming up with fun ideas for this game. It has a lot of space for creativity and it's awesome.
I'm honestly surprised that you found malenia more fun that radagon, respect honestly
Dude, your commentary is off the charts! Seriously the most entertaining Elden ring challenge run I've seen in quite a while!!
BrilliantStupidity in the Malenia fight: "Wow, her attacks are really clean and readable!"
Waterfowl Dance:
2:50 it's auch a blessing for this run, that the stees whistle is actually a ring (bequeathed ring)
Gotta be one of the funnier and more creative challenge runs of elden ring I’ve seen. Great work mate
5 hours for malenia is very good. Took me way longer. Glad to see I wasn't the only one with brainlag to realize when she is doing her waterfall dance

Hilarious! Subscribed!
Yes, I like this, your style is enhanced by Elden Ring's inherently chaotic nature. Brilliant is evolving and becoming his best version

I appreciate that you modelled your character on your real life self Brilliant

i like to parry here
I love these elden ring youtubers bro they so funny fr deserves a sub
Caelid should be officially renamed to New Jersey, or vice versa.

Truly putting the ring in Elden Ring
Entertaining as always. Glad to see you bring your humour to another game
Fire giant stopped communing with the god of the flame. But then he took an arrow to the knee
Absolutely you should go on and beat up the Shadow Lands with Rings Only.
Elden Ring videos? I am SO here for it :3

"someone on the dev team has a thing for feet" its miyazaki, always has been miyazaki
Wait so we just forgot that Thiollier's needle is an actual literal ring on your finger? Lol
The „tilt astronomical” bit was a cool visual gag. Production value going off the chart here, good job
17:16 im glad my Nation has earned this glorious title
Halo Scythe summons Miquella's Ring of Light
How the hell can you have some of the worst Morgott gameplay I've ever seen but then no hit Beast Clergyman...bro got gud
I really loved this video, I hope to see more Elden Ring content from you in the future!
As a Canadian myself, I feel ATTACKED. (Nah, jk, that video was actually halarious)
I cant believe your character was present at the opening of the Olympics. You really made it big.
To be fair I think the fingercreepers following you were just very jealous of all your cool rings
The Age of War theme is so hype man
22:04 the other Godskin just walking off like ,, hmmmmm waht an interisting stone over there "
Bro entered my homeland after defeating Morgott

Oh.... yeah.... that definitely was the only time that happened.

15:10 bro wouldve killed morgott but didnt know the button to hit
I totally agree with you Malenia boss fight is very very fun even it is very hard when I beat her I just want her to respawn to fight again lol
12:48 you gained double what u started with in the end cheer up
Definitely would recommend leveling Vig to 60 before strength
my first malenia i cheesed the heck outta it with pre nerf sword of night and flame and pre nerf mimic tear, and it still took me hours. Have since beat her 1v1 with a unga bunga build, but yeah shes great.
hey man you pretty good for this being your first soulsgame and the playtime, keep going
29:08 God that is a hilarious joke
I'm stealing that for the next inevitable time I'm stupid xD
thiollier hidden needle is kind of a ring but you get it at the end of the dlc so it's useless

is this age of war music? Lol what a throwback
Glorious morning indeed
Hahaha was looking if someone else noticed damn that is such a great game still
15:22 to be fair, rolling backwards to evade a lunge attack was not your brightest moment.
Unhoused individual. Holy shit. Very high borne of you sir
Hey there's one other weapon you coulda used, Thiolliers hidden needle as it's literally just a ring on your finger with a needle on it
I mean, is there even a way to get that other than….
