@@willwin4744 you mean use the crucible knight weapons? That could work for a themed run of them! But I might also just keep it only the incantations, not sure yet!
Most excellent. I liked wearing the Draconic Tree Sentinel helmet cause of the little dragon statue on it. So when I used breath attack its like the little dude was helping me. I named him Dunkin.
thats a good point, fashion is important when trying to get senpai to notice me~ lol, that and in other runs I'll equip weapons I can't use so that works
Yeah Hoarah Loux was the biggest reason my dragon incantation run included Dragoncult incantations because I don't have the patients to beat my head against him until I get some a lucky breath attack to stick lol. Having the lighting strike attacks made him much more reasonable to deal with, and well Ancient Dragon's Lightning Storm just destroys Elden Beast.

Azure staff would give you 40 v/dex to speed things up too by just equipping it. you don't need the int requirement to use it. That would bring you at effectively 70 v dex paired with radagon icon (RI gives you 30 v/dex).
I wasn't sure if it effected dragon commune incantations (or incantations in general lol), but thanks! i'll have to remember that when the DLC comes back and I am once again the ultimate dragon yandere!
@@DoomWolfOfficial It affects cast time of incantations as well 👍🏼 I’ve seen a dramatic change from using placid with and without Azur alone since someone was trying to use it for comp. The server even has a ban on pairing Azur staff with Beastial Sling for this reason.
Dragon communion spells don't get any benefit from casting speed increases. It's a neat thought, but unfortunately doesn't work for specifically those exact spells.
@@dontmisunderstand6041 interestingly enough, oc probably didn't notice this since somehow placidusax spell isn't a dragon communion spell. With the context of the DLC it makes sense, but before I thought it was really confusing.

Dragon communion spells are amazing, just use endure so you can cast anything and not get staggered out of the cast, i dont even know if its still a challange with it.
ah but you see...endure is not a dragon communion spell and so I couldn't use it in this run haha, but yes, if you have something that stops the stagger or distracts the enemy, they are very strong
@@DoomWolfOfficial depending on rules you set for yourself, it doesnt do damage so it would be fine and i would still say that the challange is a success. But you did it without it so more props to you.
I dont know how it was when you made this video, but i did horah loux a week ago with dragon maw, and you can hyper armor his throw attacks, so you only take a little bit of damage of the initial throw but avoid the throwing around etc
a couple of other people mentioned this, I don't know if it is a new edition (from a change in a recent patch) orif I just didn't get good with the timing or not haha
If i recall, to get your first heart you could have fought the dragon on the bridge. There is a specific part where it could end up in a fall animation, and 10 seconds of a fall animation for anything just insta kills it.
@Doom Wolf true. I'm actually unsure if that bug was known by anyone at the time of the run. In either case that makes this possible if the bug still works.
Wow I looked at your subscribers and it was underwhelming for the A+ commentary and dedicated gameplay …keep it going you earned a subscriber today and I know you’ll earn many more keep it going great video
to be honest, I am not 100% sure if that would increase the cast times, I haven't played around with that staff a whole lot to know if off handing it would effect Dragon incantations (specifically), but I sure hope so haha
"We just need to use our big mouth while she's spread on the- With that Renala goes down!" "Malenia too can't handle a big mouth!" "My back was against the wall but that's how Malenia likes it because she rushes to pounce on it and she goes down!" Bro I hate you so much Lmao 🤣😂
lol a lot of people have commented asking about this. I didn't do him just because all my previous challenge runs had been shardbearers only, so I worried about deviating from that. However when the DLC inevitably comes out I might pay Placidusax a little visit ;)
@@DoomWolfOfficial maybe you could do achievement bosses, aka Rememberances? Even with it being shard bearers only, Dragonlord would’ve still been fitting
@@lowresolutionbunnyfeng3919 In newer videos I do the thematically appropriate bosses too, for all rememberances that...just takes a lot of time, I do my best to put out a new video every two weeks and the time it would take to finish a run (especially a difficult one like consumables only for example) far exceeds the two week timer lol
I should have, the reason I didn't though is because all of my videos are "shardbearers only" so to keep it inline with that, I didn't. That being said a lot of people have asked me why I haven't, so when the DLC drops I might make a little visit to him! (theres also a few other dragons I forgot about, unintentionally, that need a visit haha)
haha ya know, I think only one other person has mentioned this, oh well, it just means I took away one Talisman slot, therefore making the run slightly harder ;)
Not so much forgot as "intentionally didn't do" lol this was back when I did shardbearers only, I didn't wanna give special treatment to this video even if it would be perfect. Of course hindsight 20/20 but hey
I really liked these spells. my first run was incantations and spells only and they ended up being some of my favorite. these and the godslayer spells.
You're right! That dragon completely slipped my mind, you're also the first one to point out that dragon, well I guess when DLC comes out, adula senpai is getting a visit~ lol
chain casting speed seems rather specific, it doesn't effect the first cast of a chain? that's unfortunate for spell slingers lol, anyway, thanks for the tip!
I already messed up Fortissax by progressing too far, but the reason I didn't do that one, or Placidusax, was to keep it consistent with my other videos (shardbearer's only) but many people have asked why I didn't do those bosses. maybe when the DLC drops i'll round them up and finish any straggling senpai off lol
@@DoomWolfOfficial well, Fortissax IS available, just a bit out of the way because Fia has already moved to Deeproot or is in the side room in the Roundtable, the cursemark is always available even if you kill Maliketh, or you can get the Black Knife print in the black knife Catacombs for Rogier and have him decode it to get him to tell you to work for Ranni, Lanseax IS canonicaly female so she's out of the picture and Placidusax would be mainly difficult due to FP consumption and damage overall
my dragonknight build was kind of gross, because the adv frost/glint breaths scale with magic damage i used both FP reduction tali's, the magic damage tali and the % greater incantation damage tali while using the special flask with the unlimited fp and magic damage tears i would open with the adv frost breath till they get frost bite then switch to the advanced glintstone breath and they are dead.... melania was such a cake walk with my build, the only weapon i let myself use was the executioners blade with the shity cork screw special attack. elden beast was the only boss i had issues with same with loux lol but i let myself use NPC summons (not ashe summons) the build was also gross in pvp because they couldnt dodge the frost breath and would die in 1 hit due to my breath dealing 4k+ damage a hit
Ya know, I didn't just because all my other challenge runs didn't include him, but a lot of people have mentioned this! Maybe when the DLC drops i'll add him just for fun!
For Hoarah, (and maybe I missed you saying you did), but did you try a breath attack when he does the house ground explosion? As I'm pretty sure you can jump that, so the breath making you float in the air COULD make you immune to it and give you a huge opening for attacking him.
Maybe using the weapon you get from Placudisax exclusively for its AoW (the mist-claw gapcloser) would'Ve helped on Hoarah Loux? Not sure on the timing there.
Thundercloud form? It might have helped, but (and I'm not sure if I said this lol) the run was dragon communion only spells so that would have been unusable D:
I wonder if this was put in _after_ I did this run, because a lot of people suggested it at some point, but I feel like I tried it and it didn't work haha
@@DoomWolfOfficial bro I just found your channel a week ago. Gotta say it's amazing stuff. I like that your challenges are unique among challenges runners.
Magma breath attack is significantly faster then most of the other breaths and is still ranged. But it would be nice if dragon claw was something closer to a slow carian slicer
@@DoomWolfOfficial it’s crazy I started watching your newer videos first then started scrolling down to your older ones thinking damn he sounds different lol
I don't recall if I mentioned it or not but the original idea for this was "dragon communion spells only" so for that, it wouldn't work, BUT if it was just a dragon themed run, absolutely!
At least Flying dragon Greyll was spared also the normal breath attacks are why faster than the named ones because you don’t jump up in the air so you just made your life harder for Horah Lou
only until the DLC when I pay a visit to all the ones that i've missed >:) and possibly, I didn't check that closely, but unless its a significant increase in speed. its still quite slow haha
@@DoomWolfOfficial let’s just say I beat elden beast with glinatone breath and I wasn’t able to do it with smarags before running out of Fp and please spare Greyll senpai
Technically it is still possible for a dragon incant only run without using morning star to kill greyoll since flying dragon greyll due to poor pathfinding ai can sometimes walk off the bridge to its death source: it happened in my first run when I was trying to kill it legitimately which was annoying but technically since you didnt attack it with anything other than dragon incantations you didnt break the run condition and you get a dragon heart to buy an incant
oh interesting! I was not aware of this ...uh...exploit? accidental boss kill? lol, I don't really mind having done what i did, but that is good to know :)
(Here I am a year late, but I ignored this video when I saw the title and tumb first time lol) Its also possible to pacifist agheel if you reach the samurai guy he will advise about the dragon, and then if you die to agheel he will laugh at you and leave a summon sign on the lake, the summon can solo agheel, but you need a little of luck
This was actually an intentional (although eventually regrettable) decision! In previous videos I only cared about shardbearers only, and those two bosses aren't them. It would have been thematic to fight them, but since they weren't shardbearers I was afraid of deviating from my previous videos. Like I said, I now regret that, and a lot of people have commented on me missing them, so maybe when the DLC drops I pay them a little visit ;) Also I actually missed 4 dragons, these two, then Adula, and Greyll (I did fight the magmawyrms, but didn't put it in the video) lol
ya know, I thought about doing him because it would fit the theme, but according to the wiki Placidusax Ruin is not a dragon communion spell. so I ended up not getting it. That being said plenty of people have asked why I haven't fought him. So maybe when I revist when the DLC comes out, papa placidusax is going to meet his maker lol
I hate the Animation of that Dragonspells...and the Scream xD After 2-3 Times in a row it makes me so Aggro, that i wanna kill my Char 🤣 impressive again!!
@@DoomWolfOfficial Dude admit you forgot... NOBODY would count the R2 of a casting Focus as cheating especially in the Only Boss fight it's actually useful for besides finding hidden walls!!!
@@DoomWolfOfficial yeah, try it, I'm sure its not patched yet. If i can, maybe I'll make a little clip of me doing it, works with any grab attack if i remember correctly
@@DoomWolfOfficial ua-cam.com/users/shortsqzvxlx1360k?feature=share Here it is in action. If that link is being a prick like it is to me, its on my thingy..
I actually left him out because all my other runs are Shardbearers only, but you're right i should have killed him. When the DLC comes out i'll probably add him for this just to show dragon superiority!
Glad you liked it! The reason i didn't was two fold. 1) Placidusax ruin doesn't count as a dragon communion spell so I couldn't use it anyway (I don't recall if I mentioned in the video, but the original idea for this run was dragon communion only, then switched it to thematic) and 2) at this point in my videos I was only focused on demigods, not rememberances, and I was worried about making this video an exception. Unfortunately since then I have started doing all rememberances so...regret but oh well lol if the DLC comes out I will pay Placidusax a visit
Fun Fact: in late game Magic Breath and Smarag Breath are utterly useless because Borealis Breath does magic damage
Interesting! Thanks for the fact! :)
It actually is the highest pure damage breath.
@@saweendra8690 no it does magic damage
@@prismknight353 i meant the highest pure damage to hp . Not the damage type. Its stronger than frost breath with out the frost bite proc.
Far from it, Smarag outperforms Borealis in shear AR
I'm surprised you didn't go for the drake knight set to put more dragon onto your dragon.
You know, that probably would have been a better choice!
An interesting video could be Aspects of the Crucible incantations only, I haven’t seen anyone else do that yet
You know, that could be fun, and iirc two of them are accessible early game. I might have to try it!
@@DoomWolfOfficial Maybe also use the weapons dropped by them
@@willwin4744 you mean use the crucible knight weapons? That could work for a themed run of them! But I might also just keep it only the incantations, not sure yet!
@@DoomWolfOfficial yeah either weapons, either way it would be a really cool run, the incantations definitely are unique
@@willwin4744 I have some other stuff planned first, but this run is in my notes and I look forward to it!
The “I kinda dig it” dragon is a man of culture he understands
haha yes all who dig the dragon are men of culture
Agreed 👍
Most excellent. I liked wearing the Draconic Tree Sentinel helmet cause of the little dragon statue on it. So when I used breath attack its like the little dude was helping me. I named him Dunkin.
Dunkin is the true mvp
Dunkin Donuts
I lived in Staten island, and anyone who lived there know, its a competitor to Starbucks!
Honestly same reason here
I would've equipped a dagger with the golden vow, or a step dodge ash of war, mostly for the fashion of yandere with a knife
thats a good point, fashion is important when trying to get senpai to notice me~ lol, that and in other runs I'll equip weapons I can't use so that works
Dragon Communion incantations are actually really good when they're not you're only option.
yeah, that's true lol it's great as a back up
@@DoomWolfOfficial Stagger bosses and use the incantations
I actually wanted to do a run like this myself, started the run and instantly hated the result. Good for you for actually going through with it. 😆
Yeah from the moment I landed the first attack I knew this was gonna suck, don't recommend it haha
Yeah they definitely should have given the named breaths at the very least hyper armor. But it’s a souls game and being fair to players doesn’t exist
Yeah Hoarah Loux was the biggest reason my dragon incantation run included Dragoncult incantations because I don't have the patients to beat my head against him until I get some a lucky breath attack to stick lol.

The only way that anybody should ever do Ordina is using a dagger with the assasins gambit AoW
gotta do the sneaky sneaky through there haha
"you like a 9 crazy i kinda dig it" bro why didnt i find this channel before lmao
Glad you like it my friend :)
My favorite part of any of your videos is watching you fight godskin duo
I'm glad you enjoy my pain lol
@@DoomWolfOfficial has, my favorite video was your torch video. Perfection
You should fight the dragon lord
Ya know, I didn't just because all my other challenge runs didn't include him, but a lot of people have mentioned this! Maybe when the DLC drops i'll add him just for fun!
For Hoarah, (and maybe I missed you saying you did), but did you try a breath attack when he does the house ground explosion? As I'm pretty sure you can jump that, so the breath making you float in the air COULD make you immune to it and give you a huge opening for attacking him.
I did, it didn't work for me lol
Maybe using the weapon you get from Placudisax exclusively for its AoW (the mist-claw gapcloser) would'Ve helped on Hoarah Loux? Not sure on the timing there.
Thundercloud form? It might have helped, but (and I'm not sure if I said this lol) the run was dragon communion only spells so that would have been unusable D:
Big tip when fighting horalu if you jump and use the leveled up dragon maw moves you won't get hurt
I wonder if this was put in _after_ I did this run, because a lot of people suggested it at some point, but I feel like I tried it and it didn't work haha
@@DoomWolfOfficial bro I just found your channel a week ago. Gotta say it's amazing stuff. I like that your challenges are unique among challenges runners.
Wow man I really wonder why incantations based on colossal beasts are slow truly the hardest to solve mystery
I know right, it's one of those impossible mysteries of game design!
Magma breath attack is significantly faster then most of the other breaths and is still ranged. But it would be nice if dragon claw was something closer to a slow carian slicer
I had heard Magma breath was faster, but not by much. I am not sure of the truth lol
but yes I would have liked a speedy dragon attack
Now we need to use our what while she's what on her what? 5:55
;) it was super effective lol
@@DoomWolfOfficial oh nahhhhh😭
Its time, doom. The dlc dragon run is calling you
I may or may not have started it already lol
@@DoomWolfOfficial 😂 i cant wait!!
Crazy how you sound so different in 2 years
haha yeah, sometimes people comment on my older videos with a time stamp so I check it, and yeah my recording has changed so much haha
@@DoomWolfOfficial it’s crazy I started watching your newer videos first then started scrolling down to your older ones thinking damn he sounds different lol
Azula being kansas implies theres anything interesting in kansas
well you got me there haha
I 100% elden ring and got to journey 4 but didn't realise you could upgrade talismans until today lol
haha fair, I went out of my way to explore everything in my first playthrough and still missed several of the upgraded talisman versions
What about dragon hand from Godrick, Is that aceptable? Or that dragon tail swipe?
I don't recall if I mentioned it or not but the original idea for this was "dragon communion spells only" so for that, it wouldn't work, BUT if it was just a dragon themed run, absolutely!
At least Flying dragon Greyll was spared also the normal breath attacks are why faster than the named ones because you don’t jump up in the air so you just made your life harder for Horah Lou
only until the DLC when I pay a visit to all the ones that i've missed >:) and possibly, I didn't check that closely, but unless its a significant increase in speed. its still quite slow haha
@@DoomWolfOfficial let’s just say I beat elden beast with glinatone breath and I wasn’t able to do it with smarags before running out of Fp and please spare Greyll senpai
@@ShardofWant Greyll senpai has been away on a school trip, I think its time we go see him~ lol
@@DoomWolfOfficial I won’t tell you where the rest of the glinstone senpais reside then
@@ShardofWant don't worry i've been stalking I MEAN admiring them from afar for awhile now~ lol
Using Azure's staff in offhand just for passive casting speed increase might've helped but slightly.
I did think about that, but I wasn't sure (and didn't bother to test haha), when the DLC inevitably comes out, I might have to try! :)
Dragon breathing First form: BREATH FROST
Dragon claw you can recast for a second hit after your first one mid attack
yeah, but it's pretty slow huh haha
Technically it is still possible for a dragon incant only run without using morning star to kill greyoll since flying dragon greyll due to poor pathfinding ai can sometimes walk off the bridge to its death source: it happened in my first run when I was trying to kill it legitimately which was annoying but technically since you didnt attack it with anything other than dragon incantations you didnt break the run condition and you get a dragon heart to buy an incant
oh interesting! I was not aware of this ...uh...exploit? accidental boss kill? lol, I don't really mind having done what i did, but that is good to know :)
(Here I am a year late, but I ignored this video when I saw the title and tumb first time lol) Its also possible to pacifist agheel if you reach the samurai guy he will advise about the dragon, and then if you die to agheel he will laugh at you and leave a summon sign on the lake, the summon can solo agheel, but you need a little of luck
Good video! You've got my sub!
Thanks, I'm glad you liked it!
I just now noticed you play music in the background of your videos
haha well, in some of the older ones I used actual BGM, but in the newer ones I tend to just let the game be background music
Ayo why was the first dragon into "getting his heart eaten" like wha
You can't question dragon love my friend, we will never understand;) lol
Placidusax? Fortissax? You missed two dragon bosses! You can even chill with Placidusax, so long as you don't get too close.
This was actually an intentional (although eventually regrettable) decision! In previous videos I only cared about shardbearers only, and those two bosses aren't them. It would have been thematic to fight them, but since they weren't shardbearers I was afraid of deviating from my previous videos. Like I said, I now regret that, and a lot of people have commented on me missing them, so maybe when the DLC drops I pay them a little visit ;)
Also I actually missed 4 dragons, these two, then Adula, and Greyll (I did fight the magmawyrms, but didn't put it in the video) lol
Get mimic tear double the stink breath
I thought about it! but was trying my best not to use it
@@DoomWolfOfficial true to the challenge nice
You forgott placidusax and his breath attack
ya know, I thought about doing him because it would fit the theme, but according to the wiki Placidusax Ruin is not a dragon communion spell. so I ended up not getting it. That being said plenty of people have asked why I haven't fought him. So maybe when I revist when the DLC comes out, papa placidusax is going to meet his maker lol
I hate the Animation of that Dragonspells...and the Scream xD After 2-3 Times in a row it makes me so Aggro, that i wanna kill my Char 🤣 impressive again!!
Oh trust me, screaming only to immediately get smacked out of my animation was driving me crazy too haha
You should try a great bow run
I've been thinking about a greatbow only run!
My very first run through with the game was dragon only.
Really? Awesome! Did you expand to use things like the grafted dragon or?
You can punch a sweeting with your dragon seal and it would save the FP!
I def thought about that, but the run was "dragon communion incants only" so I couldn't D:
@@DoomWolfOfficial Dude admit you forgot... NOBODY would count the R2 of a casting Focus as cheating especially in the Only Boss fight it's actually useful for besides finding hidden walls!!!
Should’ve used a dagger that resemble a knife which is a Yandere go to weapon to get the first hearts
ya know, that would have been smart I didn't think of it lol
Houra loux and other grab attacks cant connect if you're in the middle of dragonmaw, i do it all the time, its actually awesome
They...they can't? They can't pull you out of the animation? weird never heard that talked about before, i'll have to try it sometime
@@DoomWolfOfficial yeah, try it, I'm sure its not patched yet. If i can, maybe I'll make a little clip of me doing it, works with any grab attack if i remember correctly
@@DoomWolfOfficial ua-cam.com/users/shortsqzvxlx1360k?feature=share
Here it is in action.
If that link is being a prick like it is to me, its on my thingy..
I'm pretty sure some of the dragon incantations can be used from horseback.
Yes they can!
wait didn't he forget to kill the secret dragon of crumbling farum azula
I actually left him out because all my other runs are Shardbearers only, but you're right i should have killed him. When the DLC comes out i'll probably add him for this just to show dragon superiority!
With morgot you could just spam rotten breath since it does like 15k dmg overtime
Thats true, but spamming rot breath would work for almost every boss and I wanted to diversify ;)
What about dragonkin stuff only? That would probably be interesting. Idk what armor you would wear.
That could be interesting! I do have some plans for other Dragon stuff in this game ;)
Not even 5 seconds in and I’m laughing my ass off
Glad I could make you laugh my friend :)
I love the video, I just want to ask one thing. Why not go after the dragon lord in crumbling faruum? Seems fitting to fight him
Glad you liked it!
The reason i didn't was two fold. 1) Placidusax ruin doesn't count as a dragon communion spell so I couldn't use it anyway (I don't recall if I mentioned in the video, but the original idea for this run was dragon communion only, then switched it to thematic) and 2) at this point in my videos I was only focused on demigods, not rememberances, and I was worried about making this video an exception. Unfortunately since then I have started doing all rememberances so...regret but oh well lol if the DLC comes out I will pay Placidusax a visit
You should do a rickety shield only run.
I did a shield only run it was hell, I don't know if I wanna do it _again_ with a worse shield lol
How did this guy not choose the drake armor for this build. Looks sick
because there is like 800 different armor sets and at the time of recording this video I didn't know that one existed lmao
Ya know what, fair enough @@DoomWolfOfficial
Great video but should've done fire drake armor set
Thanks! That would have been a good choice of armor too haha
