Radahn is in fact not sitting on his horse, but levitating over him. It’s the initial reason he wanted to learn gravity magic, all so he didn’t have to leave his trusty steed when he started outgrowing it😊
Tips you missed - Technically speaking u can use the mimic since if you have 1 spell equipped It will use that spell 99% of the time So you are still beating the game with dragon breath if you use the mimic with dragon breath in it Just have the seal equipped only (the mimic Won’t use anything else. Even if you have 6 weapons equipped) .. and you set to go - use fire breath to reset frostbite from ice breath - did you forgot that you can combo cast 2 breath elements in one single animation (Fire and ice.. ice to activate Frostbite… and fire to reset it to 0) The second animation of a Dragon Breath can be any other element Example frost breath - when u hold it you use the spell and you character does a animation.. breathing it out .. the moment it goes to do the second breath animation switch to another element So if you solo it then You can do that Or use the mimic with 1 element and you use the other
Oooh, thanks for the tip. I was getting frustrated with frost breath, makes sense fire would reset it...feel stupid for not figuring that out myself..lol
Honestly thought they removed the fire removing frostbite in elden ring and went the whole dang game without testing it, now I feel silly. And I had no clue you could chain dragon elements, thanks for that, actually gonna play around with some of this soon.
"- did you forgot that you can combo cast 2 breath elements in one single animation (Fire and ice.. ice to activate Frostbite… and fire to reset it to 0) The second animation of a Dragon Breath can be any other element" Does this still work? I can't seem to be able to do it
Fun fact: 45 arcane is hardcap for bleed buildup. With the dragon communion seal at max with its s scaling, you will get noticeable upgrades to incantation dmg until 80 arcane
Hardcap is always 99, what you mean, is a stricter soft cap. That said, it’s true that the seal goes above 30 faith and 45 arcane, but you get a very high diminishing return for every point you spent there, you’re really better off boosting hp, or fp in order to spam spells/AoW more liberally, or investing in str/dex for your melee weapon.
@@EldenRingBuildsArchive at 80 faith/80 arcane you one hit knights in ng+5 with a charged lightning spear. The increments are small, yes, but the final product is still very noticeable.
The reason scarlet rot did so much damage to Greyoll is because its tick damage is percent-based, so it does more damage the higher the victim's max health pool. Given Greyoll's massive 87k hp pool it's no surprise the ticks were so hight
I SWEAR TO THE GREATER WILL IF HE PRONOUNCES ANOTHER THING WRONG I WILL GO CRAZY! Anyway great run man, love how u actually played the game instead of just speed running the main bosses.
@@aj-ug9hh You uh, know that Champion was only a thing for the network test right? You can't start the game with dragon breath in any legit way, and to my knowledge none of the dragons can kill themselves so you can't do that for a heart either.
Meanwhile, me, at the Mountaintop of the Giants having basically cheesed every boss with Scarlot Rot Breath at RL30: "Yes. Yes, you can do that to the game. Good luck with certain bosses, though..."
Same im at the mountaintop at lvl 16. I never actually finished the game yet either, not even once. Just creating a small character to get gear and progress as far as possible in game without even using mimic tear 10. Them low level invasions addicting to me. Basically farmed runed arcs and have radagons soreseal and godrick rune give me like 70 levels worth of stats. And then using the viper claws with deadly poison and bleed with the blood lord exultation and white mask with quickstep. Just proc it and then dance around see them die in panick. And if that doesent work double bandits curved sword with double seppuku anf the winged sword on top of all that sure works. For pve i just use rot breath and the black bow with deadly poison arrows. Just jump and you can fire 2 arrows off quick orr barrage till you proc and then just dodge. Its so fun.
Love your energy and commentary because you actually feel like a player of the game, and you even talk about the frustrations that many of us more casual folks experience.

Yep, I learned about that after I made the comments about the horse being weighed down by radahn in the video, even though he uses gravity magic, that horse still looks like it’s having a rough time.
@@toweringpants To be fair, the horse has been forced to sustain it's life near death for at least a few hundred years.

That Elden beast glitch happened to me my first successful run as well, I remember putting my controller down and looking away from the screen only to look back when there was no death sound effect
Great video. but I gotta point stuff out as I see it so I don't go crazy 1: the 'upgraded' versions of basic dragon breaths are pretty unilaterally worse then the base, costing more and doing a fraction more damage while also being slower and having worse aoes. 2: renalla's first phase cannot die to poison or rot, if she goes to 0 hp while flying she will just stay there until knocked down and hit again. 3: the hardcap of any stat is 99, the softcap of damage stats is roughly around 80, but because of how the curve works its very easy to not know that if you don't research it online. 4: no footage or mention of the fight against the frost dragon right outside ranni's final quest location despite fighting all the way through her questline to get to it. 5: Placidusax's Ruin has a lightning aoe that comes out near instantly when it is cast witch in this build can make it an invaluable tool for when enemies get close. 6: malenia has the weakest possible fire absorption at 0. A lot of the enemies you mentioned Glinstone breath doing great damage against are ones weak to magic vs fire. 7: Radagon and the elden beast have a lot of times where hitting them with the slower breath attacks will just get you killed, the magma breath attack is substantially less commitment and would allow you to convert saved hp into using more cerulean flasks to make up for the lower damage per cast. Ontop of also being fire damage to utilize the flame shrouding tear. 8: in the lategame when your stats have already hit softcaps the soreseals can be easily swapped out for scorpion talismans witch would signifigantly increase their respective damage types.
For number 1, Yes, The lower tier dragon spells are much better. 2, I did not know that, that explains a lot.3, when I said hardcap for arcane in the video I just meant there’s no point of going past 45 for arcane(maybe I should have said soft so, idk).4, that was a complete accident, I did end up killing the dragon as you can tell by me using the upgraded glintstone breath in Malenias fight, but it was a very easy fight. 5, I found the lightning AOE kind of useless against the later bosses, at least from what I tested.6, good to know, Thankyou. 7, Magma attack is less commitment, but if you use low tier dragon breath spells it has a chance to stun the boss making it less likely I’d get hit and also the magma shot was still slow and did a little bit less damage then my other incantations, especially against endgame bosses.8, I didn’t know that, just assumed dragon Soreseal would be the best for what I was doing. Thankyou for the knowledge fellow sir, I hope I cleared up any confusion so you feel less crazy
@@toweringpants thank you for taking the time. Elden ring is a game that has a lot of quirks and random things its not good at telling players. Hope to see more themed challenges I'm the future
@@toweringpants Although I haven't tested it extensively (if at all during the heat of combat against significant endgame bosses), the upgraded dragon spells can be cast while mid-air/mid-jump which actually makes it casted a tad faster than their normal spells while on the ground. I will say "props to you" for the Malenia lock-on strat, since that was actually the bane of most spells/incantations when used against her unless they were ultra-homing.
You can increase the casting speed of spells and incantations (considerably in the cases of breaths) at the cost of extra FP. If you use a spell similar first. For instance dragon breath you can use dragon claw if I remember right. For glintstone blade it's the cheaper one etc..etc..
>weakest possible fire absorption at 0 If you mean the lowest in the game that's definitely not the case since several bosses have negative fire absorption. Some obvious ones are all the tree based bosses (erdtree avatars, ulcerated tree spirits, etc.) The lowest one I could find is Ekzykes at -100.
hey if you ever need to go into fringefolk for another run for whatever reason you can jump onto the pots though they break if you're too close when jumping. Also I think going down the ladder let's you get further before getting poisoned due to jumping down making you freeze in place for a moment
Yes, I did this on one of the sprints to get to the dragon seal, I just cut it out, I was able to use the pots to skip the poison, but if I got to close the pots would break. The only reason I didn’t include it was because on the run I got the commander seal, I ended up getting poisoned, so there was no need to explain it. But thankyou though, I’ll use it anytime I head down there again.
@@toweringpants my friend, 100% of the time you will NOT get poisoned if you climb down the ladder. Done several different builds and in each one I never got poisoned, only close to it
If you used the flame breath after your first ice breath for milenia or whatever her name is, you would reset the frostbite since it works like poison and scarlet rot not like bleed. You get a burst of damage but it ticks down
Someone said that’s how it works in DS3, and they didn’t know about it in Elden ring. If I come across a situation like this again, I’ll definitely test this out
That works on anything, not just Malenia. It doesn't work like poison or scarlet rot because it's not damage over time. It just makes sense. You freeze someone, you can't freeze them harder. But if you throw fire on them, they unfreeze and you can do it again.
Commenting for the algorithm as usual, because challenge runs are the best Elden Ring content and all of them deserve to be seen. God bless challenge runs.
Fun fact: the way Radahn is able to ride his tiny horse is because when he was younger, he knew he was gonna get big, so he started practicing gravity spells so that he doesn’t kill his horse from riding it.
I don’t know if it’s the same in elden ring, but in dark souls 3, you can reset the frostbite timer by using a fire attack. Presuming it works the same in this game, you could have used dragon fire in between dragon ice on malenia for much better damage
@@toweringpants exactly! For example, in ds3 you could use vordts great hammer (a frostbite weapon) and then hit your target a few times to build up enough frost for it to proc once, then just punch them with a torch or pyromancy flame because it did fire damage. Then you would still only have to hit them the amount of times it took for the first proc. After every frostbite proc hit with fire, rinse and repeat. It was really impressive how you managed to tackle this situation though!
Though doing this would get rid of the defense reduction part of the frostbite proc, as it would just take away the frost bite status effect. But I think the dps would be higher to string together frostbite procs than to have to deal with the increasing resistance
@@andrewdecker3752 That’s hella interesting, I definitely could have used that for second phase since it was hell to proc that second frostbite. Luckily first phase was made really easy once I figured out that I can look away from her before attacking. I also think your method would have given more dps since, even if we take into account that frostbite lowers defense for a period of time, you can just force her to frostbite using my look away method(stunning her),then use fire breath right afterwards using my look away method continuously until she dies rather than having to rely on that very small window of dps that frostbite gives you.
@@toweringpants I don't know if that is still true but that's how it was when elden ring first came out. If you look at old speed runs of the game they used to use the icerind hatchet and then fire a fire arrow to reset it
Great video. My favorite dragon attacks are the Ekzyke's Decay, and Greyoll's roar. Borealis is the only dragon I had difficulty defeating. Frost is such an annoying status effect. Just want to mention that Loretta is a woman :).
To my knowledge, Rennala cannot be killed by scarlet rot in stage one. She will take damage, even when in her bubble, but will stop losing health when she is about to die. You have to pop her bubble one extra time and get a hit off to get her into phase 2. This was my experience, anyway.
33:14 I don't understand why everyone forgets about the existence of "Starlight Shards", they are the only means of recovering FP yet they're rarely used or even remembered. Also Elden Beast is strong against elemental damage and immune to status effects but he's weak to physical damage: Rot breath and Ekzykes's Decay do physical damage. (though I don't know what type of damage Dragonice and Borealis mist do, physical or elemental?)
Damn this channel is underrated, I was shocked at the end of the video when I actually saw the views. Well fucking done mate, cool video, hella dedication put in it.
I love your voice man it’s so nice, and I think it’s hilarious when you pronounce things so incredibly wrong, please keep doing it, or do it even more! I also hope your channel grows much in the future since you’re great, your editing and humor is so good! May I also ask if you live-stream somewhere?
Okay I don’t know if I just missed this at the character creation part but how do you shrink your head? I always make my characters look ridiculous or hideous in any game and after seeing the tiny head/big body combo I desperately need it for elden ring
I know that this has nothing to do with the actual video but I just find it funny that birth by sleep music startet playing in the video while I was literally playing it But still very nice content and I am looking forward for more!
If you're wondering why Greyoll died so quickly to Scarlet Rot, it could be because she's already suffering from it, lore wise. Strangely enough, of all the enemies that are weak to Scarlet Rot, the ones afflicted by it in lore, seem to be some of the weakest.
one thing to mention for Renalla's singing sweetings... a simple tap of the first or a jump directly against them breaks the gold bubble, meaning three jumps saves you a fuckton of FP...
The reason why that horse isn't being totally crushed is because radahn mastered the art of gravity magic, making himself super light so he can stay with his steed
It's impressive that he has a harder time pronouncing bosses names than killing them.

1: the 'upgraded' versions of basic dragon breaths are pretty unilaterally worse then the base, costing more and doing a fraction more damage while also being slower and having worse aoes.
2: renalla's first phase cannot die to poison or rot, if she goes to 0 hp while flying she will just stay there until knocked down and hit again.
3: the hardcap of any stat is 99, the softcap of damage stats is roughly around 80, but because of how the curve works its very easy to not know that if you don't research it online.
4: no footage or mention of the fight against the frost dragon right outside ranni's final quest location despite fighting all the way through her questline to get to it.
5: Placidusax's Ruin has a lightning aoe that comes out near instantly when it is cast witch in this build can make it an invaluable tool for when enemies get close.
6: malenia has the weakest possible fire absorption at 0. A lot of the enemies you mentioned Glinstone breath doing great damage against are ones weak to magic vs fire.
7: Radagon and the elden beast have a lot of times where hitting them with the slower breath attacks will just get you killed, the magma breath attack is substantially less commitment and would allow you to convert saved hp into using more cerulean flasks to make up for the lower damage per cast. Ontop of also being fire damage to utilize the flame shrouding tear.
8: in the lategame when your stats have already hit softcaps the soreseals can be easily swapped out for scorpion talismans witch would signifigantly increase their respective damage types.
For number 1, Yes, The lower tier dragon spells are much better. 2, I did not know that, that explains a lot.3, when I said hardcap for arcane in the video I just meant there’s no point of going past 45 for arcane(maybe I should have said soft so, idk).4, that was a complete accident, I did end up killing the dragon as you can tell by me using the upgraded glintstone breath in Malenias fight, but it was a very easy fight. 5, I found the lightning AOE kind of useless against the later bosses, at least from what I tested.6, good to know, Thankyou. 7, Magma attack is less commitment, but if you use low tier dragon breath spells it has a chance to stun the boss making it less likely I’d get hit and also the magma shot was still slow and did a little bit less damage then my other incantations, especially against endgame bosses.8, I didn’t know that, just assumed dragon Soreseal would be the best for what I was doing. Thankyou for the knowledge fellow sir, I hope I cleared up any confusion so you feel less crazy
@@toweringpants thank you for taking the time. Elden ring is a game that has a lot of quirks and random things its not good at telling players.
Hope to see more themed challenges I'm the future
@@toweringpants
Although I haven't tested it extensively (if at all during the heat of combat against significant endgame bosses), the upgraded dragon spells can be cast while mid-air/mid-jump which actually makes it casted a tad faster than their normal spells while on the ground.
I will say "props to you" for the Malenia lock-on strat, since that was actually the bane of most spells/incantations when used against her unless they were ultra-homing.
You can increase the casting speed of spells and incantations (considerably in the cases of breaths) at the cost of extra FP. If you use a spell similar first. For instance dragon breath you can use dragon claw if I remember right. For glintstone blade it's the cheaper one etc..etc..
>weakest possible fire absorption at 0
If you mean the lowest in the game that's definitely not the case since several bosses have negative fire absorption. Some obvious ones are all the tree based bosses (erdtree avatars, ulcerated tree spirits, etc.) The lowest one I could find is Ekzykes at -100.
Such a well done video enjoyed every second of it, keep up the amazing work bro
Thankyou Good sir
hey if you ever need to go into fringefolk for another run for whatever reason you can jump onto the pots though they break if you're too close when jumping. Also I think going down the ladder let's you get further before getting poisoned due to jumping down making you freeze in place for a moment
Yes, I did this on one of the sprints to get to the dragon seal, I just cut it out, I was able to use the pots to skip the poison, but if I got to close the pots would break. The only reason I didn’t include it was because on the run I got the commander seal, I ended up getting poisoned, so there was no need to explain it. But thankyou though, I’ll use it anytime I head down there again.
@@toweringpants my friend, 100% of the time you will NOT get poisoned if you climb down the ladder. Done several different builds and in each one I never got poisoned, only close to it
@@toweringpants you can also have the chariot kill the knight guy for the talisman
I appreciate you for mispronouncing 90% of the names.
Becoming the dragonlord was the first thing I wanted to do in this game. I love the breath weapons and the cultists spells
The fact that this channel is this good and doesn't have as many subscribers as other challenge runners is very surprising
I just wanted to say that I appreciate the effort you put into doing this whole run.
Thankyou
If you used the flame breath after your first ice breath for milenia or whatever her name is, you would reset the frostbite since it works like poison and scarlet rot not like bleed. You get a burst of damage but it ticks down
Someone said that’s how it works in DS3, and they didn’t know about it in Elden ring. If I come across a situation like this again, I’ll definitely test this out
That works on anything, not just Malenia.
It doesn't work like poison or scarlet rot because it's not damage over time. It just makes sense. You freeze someone, you can't freeze them harder. But if you throw fire on them, they unfreeze and you can do it again.
Hosts already do this challenge every playthrough
"muh-layna, blade of mikwella" rofl hilarious. Just found ur channel now man. subbed
Commenting for the algorithm as usual, because challenge runs are the best Elden Ring content and all of them deserve to be seen.
God bless challenge runs.
God Bless
Commenting to stimulate the algorithm, nice vid brother 👏🏽
Thankyou, it is appreciated
The Birth by Sleep OST in the background immediately made me sub ❤️
A person of culture has joined the comments I see
Fun fact: the way Radahn is able to ride his tiny horse is because when he was younger, he knew he was gonna get big, so he started practicing gravity spells so that he doesn’t kill his horse from riding it.
🥺
i love that if you look at the lore for radahn you find out that he learned gravity magic just so he could ride his horse
I don’t know if it’s the same in elden ring, but in dark souls 3, you can reset the frostbite timer by using a fire attack. Presuming it works the same in this game, you could have used dragon fire in between dragon ice on malenia for much better damage
Wait are you saying that frostbite will initiate the same as the first proc as long as you spew fire after delivering the frostbite effect?
@@toweringpants exactly! For example, in ds3 you could use vordts great hammer (a frostbite weapon) and then hit your target a few times to build up enough frost for it to proc once, then just punch them with a torch or pyromancy flame because it did fire damage. Then you would still only have to hit them the amount of times it took for the first proc. After every frostbite proc hit with fire, rinse and repeat. It was really impressive how you managed to tackle this situation though!
Though doing this would get rid of the defense reduction part of the frostbite proc, as it would just take away the frost bite status effect. But I think the dps would be higher to string together frostbite procs than to have to deal with the increasing resistance
@@andrewdecker3752 That’s hella interesting, I definitely could have used that for second phase since it was hell to proc that second frostbite. Luckily first phase was made really easy once I figured out that I can look away from her before attacking. I also think your method would have given more dps since, even if we take into account that frostbite lowers defense for a period of time, you can just force her to frostbite using my look away method(stunning her),then use fire breath right afterwards using my look away method continuously until she dies rather than having to rely on that very small window of dps that frostbite gives you.
@@toweringpants I don't know if that is still true but that's how it was when elden ring first came out. If you look at old speed runs of the game they used to use the icerind hatchet and then fire a fire arrow to reset it
Great video. My favorite dragon attacks are the Ekzyke's Decay, and Greyoll's roar. Borealis is the only dragon I had difficulty defeating. Frost is such an annoying status effect. Just want to mention that Loretta is a woman :).
To my knowledge, Rennala cannot be killed by scarlet rot in stage one. She will take damage, even when in her bubble, but will stop losing health when she is about to die. You have to pop her bubble one extra time and get a hit off to get her into phase 2.
This was my experience, anyway.
33:14 I don't understand why everyone forgets about the existence of "Starlight Shards", they are the only means of recovering FP yet they're rarely used or even remembered.
Also Elden Beast is strong against elemental damage and immune to status effects but he's weak to physical damage: Rot breath and Ekzykes's Decay do physical damage. (though I don't know what type of damage Dragonice and Borealis mist do, physical or elemental?)
The genuine happiness and relaxation in his voice when he defeats malenia made me laugh
stuck on both malenia and the elden beast rn, and all i have to say is holy shit dude subscribed
Thankyou for subscribing, It was my first time fighting Malenia when I did this video , so I feel your pain
i really appreciate the effort that went into this vid, it was awesome
I will mispronounce things less for the next video lmao, and thankyou
Damn this channel is underrated, I was shocked at the end of the video when I actually saw the views. Well fucking done mate, cool video, hella dedication put in it.
Thankyou, I appreciate the kind words
SASUKE " FIRE STYLE FIRE BALL JUTSU!!!!!
DRAGONS " F ME "
Malenia: *announces herself 50 times*
Towering: M A L E N A
Love the commentary, keep it up. Hit the red button.
Thankyou I appreciate that
Great video. I especially liked the part at the end where you turn into Gilbert Gottfried.
You have a point, may he rest in peace
I love your voice man it’s so nice, and I think it’s hilarious when you pronounce things so incredibly wrong, please keep doing it, or do it even more! I also hope your channel grows much in the future since you’re great, your editing and humor is so good! May I also ask if you live-stream somewhere?
Use to on twitch, might do future youtube streams though 👁👁
this was such a thrill ride to watch. I actually clapped when you killed Malenia. Amazing job dude. you got the skills to pay the bills
I must say the commentary on this run is hilarious and I loved it
Okay I don’t know if I just missed this at the character creation part but how do you shrink your head? I always make my characters look ridiculous or hideous in any game and after seeing the tiny head/big body combo I desperately need it for elden ring
NO YOU MUST KEEP IT A SECRET
@@toweringpantsplease don’t gatekeep this I will keep it a secret
breath of fresh air to hear an elden ring content creator who actually knows how to pronounce the names of things properly
Every time he says a name it pushes me that much closer to creating a explosives build in every game and reign terror upon my enemies
no way this guy gave me gcse ptsd with the freesciencelessons intro music
High tier content. Witnessing the birth of a Souls YT legend fr.
Suprised this hasn’t blown up yet
Well Thankyou
@@toweringpants suprised u still only got a 100 its good editing and voice over
“We can do what everyone else does when times get tough. Which is to get on our knees.”
I’d get on my knees for someone even if times _weren’t_ tough.
33:15 Why not use a Starlight shard? They' only recover 120 fp, and slowly at that, but still, you could have used one here.
I think most people kinda forget they exist, and malenia is really fast and going into inventory to get a starlight probably takes too long
@@goshenite1949 yeah that’s what the hotbar is for lol.
The thing about Radhan is hes huge but he wanted to be able to ride the horse still so he uses levitating magic, its honestly adorable 😂
“As much as dragonly possible” had no right making me laugh this much
Should have used my name for this video. Lol good thing I subbed now for hopefully a future video.
You'll be used for a pyro run
Am I doing something wrong? I can't seem to get that free Dragon heart 🤣
Not praying hard enough
The most impressive part of this run is him pronouncing every single name wrong
Agreed but I still love this guy
Thankyou Crocodile Man
I am impressed with myself for this as well
I like how your character's head is so small he's immune to being decapitated
I know that this has nothing to do with the actual video but I just find it funny that birth by sleep music startet playing in the video while I was literally playing it
But still very nice content and I am looking forward for more!
Rotten breath does physical damage, so you could have used it against elden beast with perhaps more success
If you're wondering why Greyoll died so quickly to Scarlet Rot, it could be because she's already suffering from it, lore wise. Strangely enough, of all the enemies that are weak to Scarlet Rot, the ones afflicted by it in lore, seem to be some of the weakest.
bro butchered literally every single name in the game, great vid tho
did he just say "godfrey the golden" for godrick XD
Your reactions are entertaining AF, especially the end.
It’s 5AM so I LOL’d inside and poetry-café style snapped my fingers in celebration.
i swear you mispronounced every word in this video 😭 great video tho 👍
I Have received a dictionary so that I can stop the mispronunciation, and thankyou
Bro mispronounced literally everything
one thing to mention for Renalla's singing sweetings... a simple tap of the first or a jump directly against them breaks the gold bubble, meaning three jumps saves you a fuckton of FP...
His divine mission to mispronounce/misgender every creature in the lands between is honestly impressive
You can get greyoll between the tree and ledge near his bridge and kill him at the start without dealing any damage.
Alternate title:
Man kills several demi-gods just by blowing them
Blowing is my favorite form of punishment
“I’m a little messed up in the head” 😃
Finally that’s took so long here you have it 😂 I love it man gg
Thought you might’ve been doing the pronunciations without knowing, but after I heard “Godfrey the Golden”
I said to myself “this man is a genius”
"Every boss's weakness" elden beast: hm? Oh you talking to me too?
Awh. Poor natives. They’re just so morally superior. Lmao
The reason why that horse isn't being totally crushed is because radahn mastered the art of gravity magic, making himself super light so he can stay with his steed
Bros yoshikage kira💀💀
"No need to be afraid. You were born a child of dragons..."
