Man Gino I love this format. Makes watching the runs much more enjoyable and then if you wanna know more details there is the vod. You should keep it up
@@justiceblackwell8684 you'd have to check his twitch but also gino made an additional youtube channel recently to which I understood he will be uploading all the vods over time (it will take a while cause of the amount of data for sure). it's called "more GinoMachino"
Incantation only was the most fun I had with Elden Ring so far. It's crazy how versatile Incantations are in this game, especially compared to older titles in the Souls-series.
Ye Malikeths aim sucks, you can just weave most of his melee attacks or he just whiffs normally, very well designed as he makes you run away instead of be up close when the key is to be up close
I wish you would try to take down the optional bosses like Mohg and Malenia even just after the run without the pressure of having to no-death it. It would be cool to see how it performs vs them
I fully slept on pest threads until I tried them out against the Nokstella Soldier in Lake of Rot and it did like 18k. I audibly went “what the fuck” after one shotting him.
Same thing with ancient dragon lightning strike, as long as a multi hit incantation has the opportunity to hit multiple times easily it will generally do a stupid amount of damage.
I love how I can watch something from a year ago, 6 months ago, or 1 day ago and I enjoy it just as much from you! Tons of great content to go thru if you're new to this channel.
Honestly, with how long the setup for sorcery is, and how effortlessly the giant, radagon, and elden beast go down, incantations felt to me like they were stronger than sorceries. Insane!
Good job with this run! For the Sorcery run I highly recommend getting Shard Spiral as soon as possible since it absolutely shreds large enemies like the Fire Giant/Placidusax/Elden Beast and is in general a very good spell (you need to complete Sellen's Questline for the spell). For general use, Night Comet with the Staff of Loss is excellent and also enemies like Malenia who input read and dodge attacks won't dodge it. P.S. Carian Slicer is basically going to be your Catch Flame for the Sorcery run.
*When you use the poison mist incantation on the draconic tree sentinel, in his back, he doesn't move, doesn't react at all and you can poison him like this till death !*
So I've been binge watching a lot of Gino's videos recently since I discovered him recently. I swear to god, I've never seen anyone so allergic to gold fowl foots in my life. I genuinely don't think I've seen him use a single one.
I thought incantations would suck too before doing an incant only (not a no-hit) run. I didnt do anywhere near the optimizing you did with the the buffs and talismans, but incants like scouring black flame, dragonclaw, and especially black blade convinced me that an unoptimized faith build is easily at least as good as it's melee only counterpart despite late game boss holy resist.
Yeah, it would've been better to say something like "up to 15% damage boost, at 0 equip load" it's a formula though, it's based on breakpoints. every fraction of a point of weight matters
Gino, your are an absolute legend! You should have your own statue at FromSoftware! And right at the entrance so Miyazaki can pay homage to you every morning! Thanks for the amazing entertainment and joyeux Noël!! 🎉
Well, ive begun ER several weeks ago, and im at… 20% of the game i guess with 50h more xD I dont want to get spoil so i stop at 10min of video. Great vid so far haha
Just you mentioning the idea of them nerfing glint blade phalanx made me full of dread lol. Great run though! I use faith but never knew you could get the damage this high
VS the god skin duo someone said imagine someone new watching you beat them with every build. That's me and I have never felt so bad at a game before while watching someone else.
I mean it's not really slept on, alot of people know how insanely powerful it is, even compared to its supposed upgrade (the bigger, slower catch flame you get later on)
I started an incant only run last week but I’m doing it fairly blind as I’ve always been a STRENGTH ONLY kind of player. I will be watching this and shaking my head when I finish the run I’m sure. (Right now I’m just Catch Flaming everything to death)
I beat this game once after two years, 400 hours into the one save, and this mans beaten the game 100 times. gyatt Man beats a NO HIT RUN and just says 'pretty easy. yeah cool run dude' WHAT
I'm surprised that I'm finding a lot more people are doing these runs and with sorceries. There's such a hate for these types of magics or whatever in Elden Ring. Some players even said to me that it's not the "real way to play" bullshit. I enjoyed this.
@@Asriel_Cypher True. My philosophy for video game metas is this; If i found it on my own, without being told by some content creator or tutorial, I'll use it no problem, no matter how OP it might be - I earned it.

Not an alternative to killing tree sentinal, but if you're willing to wait 20 minutes poison misting him is 100% consistent and available on any build without killing anything or doing anything crazy risky with the commoner's simple garb and the faith talisman
wtf would a no hit tutorial even look like? "yeah so just learn every single enemy location, behavior, attack patterns, after an easy several hundred hours you're good to go!"
this video motivated me to finish Radagon and Elden beast I got really lucky with Radagon because I could get a lot of O’flames thanks to his long recoveries from some combos and elden Beast just stood there eating Pest Threads while using elden stars
holy shit. i knew being on the receiving end of the Cockroach Missile Massacre sucked, never knew you could uno reverse that shit and make life hell for the bosses with it
Im impressed how you can do this. This absolute insane i like that im in a run must cosplay as any npc/enemy or boss but im not allowed to do the same cosplay for an other boss. Im in farum Azula and play Okina against maliketh and im suck at fightin maliketh and using RoB because i never play this
My first playthrough was supposed to be a str/faith build and it just turned into str because I didn’t know where any incantations were until 2/3 through my playrhrough. I might go back and try this now.
Well, I'm a year+ late to this video, but I didn't see my comment pointed out. At 1:30 you were 5 souls away from being at 42069 souls. xD just needed to kill a sheep or something.
Fun fact: Mosquitos have ended the most no-death runs irl.
Malaria buildup
That’s fucked😂😂😂😂
Only for humans builds for all builds it’s the bacteriophage
@@hengedraws Fun fact: That's deeply wrong.

@@pay_ yeah I subbed to his second channel but it only has his 3 most recent runs not the incantations. But I’ll check his twitch! Thanks
I’m also doing an incantation only run, but not a no hit. I’m not good enough for that. I’m at the Mountaintops
Enjoy fire giant then 🥶
For fire giant i used Rotten Breath and Swarm of Flies, you could also use Black Flame for the % damage
Try black flame or Spider-Man strings for tanky bosses like fire giant
You’re a mountain top boom roasted
Lol

Hang on a minute, that Maliketh fight was absolutely incredible. I particularly like the moment you ran out of magic bar and had a swig mid action.
25:07 had me astonished. Souls has come a long way with their hitboxes.
Bro really cracked a cold one in the face of the keeper of death
Ye Malikeths aim sucks, you can just weave most of his melee attacks or he just whiffs normally, very well designed as he makes you run away instead of be up close when the key is to be up close
@@josephfeldner1940could he be using mods sir? Like a God mod?
@@greed6is6good he uses in practice run and the hit is still shown, he aso dies on theese run when streaming them
I wish you would try to take down the optional bosses like Mohg and Malenia even just after the run without the pressure of having to no-death it. It would be cool to see how it performs vs them
I am wondering about this also. I'd love to see how he does against those two (probably gets by them easily).
I loved how broken this one was catch flame is was stronger than I thought
catch flame is insane, the only drawback is needing to be in kissing distance of the enemy. gino makes it look super easy but thats ... yknow
@@thehotwindblowing he could make anything in this game look 10x easier
@@thehotwindblowing no harder than a melee build
@@Ghorda9 It is, unless you are talking daggers.
@@machosalad123 catch flame comes out faster than a lot of things.
Proud of you, so close to completing your goal. THE ONE TRUE ELDEN LORD
Love that you included killing tree sentinel with the run setup. It might be "trivial" either way but it looks more complete.
Dude, my cheeks were clenched so hard during that head scratch dodge vs Maliketh...
I fully slept on pest threads until I tried them out against the Nokstella Soldier in Lake of Rot and it did like 18k. I audibly went “what the fuck” after one shotting him.
they destroy any enemy that has multiple hitboxes like dragons
Same thing with ancient dragon lightning strike, as long as a multi hit incantation has the opportunity to hit multiple times easily it will generally do a stupid amount of damage.
This made me want to do a incant only run
This man has me speechless with how he cheeses through everything. I just got the game and all I can do it die
I love how I can watch something from a year ago, 6 months ago, or 1 day ago and I enjoy it just as much from you! Tons of great content to go thru if you're new to this channel.
Imma gonna try this as well. This is way to sexy damage numbers.
Honestly, with how long the setup for sorcery is, and how effortlessly the giant, radagon, and elden beast go down, incantations felt to me like they were stronger than sorceries. Insane!
Dude, I love watching you play because I find new things I missed all the time and new ways to approach the game
Good job with this run!
For the Sorcery run I highly recommend getting Shard Spiral as soon as possible since it absolutely shreds large enemies like the Fire Giant/Placidusax/Elden Beast and is in general a very good spell (you need to complete Sellen's Questline for the spell).

28:26 - Just a reminder that this is the starting spell of Prophet class
Just as I’m running a faith build. My man
Just recently started watching your vids and they are amazing, makes Eden ring look fun/easy then I hop on and fail 😂
after you have done all 40 runs you should make a compilation video of attempts failed late in runs, i think it would make a good and funny vid
Thank You for this. I never thought of using Pest Threads for Fire Giant. Extremely helpful.
Just killed Mohg the Blood Lord. He was tough. Ended up fully upgrading my weapon and summon haha

The maliketh boss was incredible in all the skill he put in dogding everything
Hard to believe incantation best close range incantation is something you start with
the blue dancer charm does different damage at different loads (8,16,24) rather than just 0.
Yeah, it would've been better to say something like "up to 15% damage boost, at 0 equip load"
it's a formula though, it's based on breakpoints. every fraction of a point of weight matters
So best to be butt nekid?
@@sebbyh9764 yes
I have never seen a Fire Giant that smooth.
I must build this now
Indeed very cool run, i might run first no hit run in Elden Ring with this setup
Maliketh came so close to hitting you when you tried to finish him off but you were out of focus points I am so surprised that you did not get hit
25:06 that looked so scary
Calculated head scratch
Gino, your are an absolute legend! You should have your own statue at FromSoftware! And right at the entrance so Miyazaki can pay homage to you every morning!

Gino: This will be a normal fight againts dts
Also gino: kill de boss before it ends his own opening
I love this content xD
Just you mentioning the idea of them nerfing glint blade phalanx made me full of dread lol. Great run though! I use faith but never knew you could get the damage this high
Even if someone wasn't confident in killing that tree sentinel early game, it's so easy to cheese him with poison mist that anyone could do it
its funny when he said he was too slow in faze one with morgott when the whole fight took 20 seconds
VS the god skin duo someone said imagine someone new watching you beat them with every build. That's me and I have never felt so bad at a game before while watching someone else.
“Thou art of passing skill”
He says while almost getting 5-hit
Nobody is going to sleep on Catch Flame after this run 🔥
I mean it's not really slept on, alot of people know how insanely powerful it is, even compared to its supposed upgrade (the bigger, slower catch flame you get later on)
I’m obsessed with the challenge runs
Your videos are amazing, can you make a detailed setup video for this faith build?
I started an incant only run last week but I’m doing it fairly blind as I’ve always been a STRENGTH ONLY kind of player. I will be watching this and shaking my head when I finish the run I’m sure. (Right now I’m just Catch Flaming everything to death)
The miracle we've been waiting for!!!
I beat this game once after two years, 400 hours into the one save, and this mans beaten the game 100 times. gyatt

that blatant lack of respect for fire giant was hilarious hahahahha
a no hit tutorial would be awesome
The only thing I want to say is "What the fuck"... Congrats man, totally insane

First time watching a video of yours and it's awesome! Keep on keepin on
That was a juicy fire giant fight
Holy s*** that was close bro you almost got hit GG
20:46 Carefully keeping a straight face.
When he said champions ginos face turnes into dr disrespect lol
Gotta comment again because that fire giant kill was INSANE.
Merry Christmas Gino 🥰
Inescapable Frenzy would be sick vs Gideon. Too bad that incantation is hard to get.
The Fire Giant kill...is insane
Im impressed how you can do this. This absolute insane i like that im in a run must cosplay as any npc/enemy or boss but im not allowed to do the same cosplay for an other boss. Im in farum Azula and play Okina against maliketh and im suck at fightin maliketh and using RoB because i never play this
"I think that I was too slow"
My brother in Christ you killed him in under 20 seconds
That Draconic kill was sick😮
I already lost it when i heard the initial "WHAT DAH HAAAAAAIIIIILLL-"
..... insane..... it's a fresh run, everything does crazy damage
Your channel is insane. You just earned a subscriber!
Merry Christmas eve gift! Love it
Insane, this deserves more views
My first playthrough was supposed to be a str/faith build and it just turned into str because I didn’t know where any incantations were until 2/3 through my playrhrough. I might go back and try this now.

I did my NG+ 5 run as a faith/incantations only it was probably my favorite run
maliketh's hit box at close range is the most infuriating thing ever. for real
A timer would be a good addition
This game making clerics OP again!
Shows you that for most bosses, you can just stand close and try to get behind them
Until he bursts out magic from the ground! 😅
Dat Maliketh swing tho...
I think I'll respec for my fight against Radagon & Elden Beast because that was hella impressive!
Pest threads is OP wow. I thought Comet Azure had some insane dps but this comes pretty close.
The Commander O’Neil cheese 😂
you are an absolute LEGEND dude
doing my fastest run to date. 15 hours and at maleketh. this was insane to watch.
Accidentally skipped forward ten seconds, two thirds of the Elden beast health is gone lol
I’m gonna go into a job interview and say, “ yea, my background is in sorcery”
You make it look so easy. Meanwhile I struggle with every single boss in this game (except Soldier of Godrick)
Absolutely love your videos!!!
You totally died on that jump down from those tombstone lookin things lol
Interesting, I figured you would Poison mist O'Neal from behind in stealth for the kill
I shrieked when you ran out of mana against maliketh! lmao
nice one! please upload marais execution! currently running an elemer of the briar setup and would be cool to see what u did
