I would love to see a Bushy video that’s just “making the most overpowered build imaginable” and see what he comes up with. His knowledge of the game is pretty immense!
Another great thing about the Samurai is starting with the longbow and having normal and fire arrows equipped too. Gives just a little more flexibility in this type of run.
Kinda shocked they didn't go astro for similar reasons - Carian Slicer replaces a sword just fine if you really want, and you've got all sorts of funny spells you can use to kick gum and chew ass.

lol yea, basically just a 'starting samurai gear only' playthrough, not all that special considering all the other crazy stuff he's done but hey, they cant all be winners :D
Yeah but to be fair most people in an uchi playthrough would've still played the game with all craftable/quick items available, Talismans, maybe some kind of spells or magic for buffing the blade in addition to Arts of War, and probably swapped armor pretty frequently. He obviously wasn't able to do any of that so this run still deserves good merits in my opinion :)
Hey yo, Bushy! I beat Elden Ring the other day for the first time! I've watched you beat it like 100 times by now. Thanks for the tips. You make it look so easy!
@@liamwelsh4665 Wretch should be pretty easy, i mean he does start with that wooden club right? That thing breaks stance really well with charged R2s, and it also works great on armored enemies due to the strike damage.
@@liamwelsh4665 check ONGBAL channel he did pretty much all main bosses as a lv 1 wretch, with only the club being upgraded (I think some of them use the buckler which would be off limits in this challenge but you could level up so that compensates a bit )
That was a great run. I love to see Gideon trying to cast Comet azur at point blank against a player who's keeping him under pressure. My man is an optimistic, that's for sure XD
i'm terrified that with all these videos of challenge runs for elden ring he's gonna become a god at literally any weapon, any playstyle, and any restrictions and i worry he wont be able to be stopped
Honestly, at first I hated Radagon so much and thought he was an awful boss, but then I realized that it wasn't him. Radagon is easily in the top 3 boss fights in the game, with Malenia and Placidussax. The problem is that his bossfight is attached to the Elden Beast, which is easily in the bottom three boss fights, with the Godskin Duo and Dual Crucible Knights. Radagon's fight gets ruined by how overwhelmingly horrible the Elden Beast is.
People complain about Malenia alot but I genuinely had the most fun fighting Malenia and Radagon Fire Giant and Maliketh tho just started pissing me off after a while lol. Oh and Godfrey... Dude keeps spamming AOE on me
One of my favorite new channels! Always such unique ideas too. Keep it up man it’s great. Ps start asking people to like and subscribe more, your view count should be translating to better numbers!
For the longest time I thought these gargoyles had bird faces. It wasn't until I started watching challenge runs that I see they have human faces. Disgusting.
another possible way to do this challenge run would be selecting a class with a seal, maxing it and putting spells on it because even on the basic seal spells like placis ruin still do absolutely crazy dmg.
I suppose it might be against the spirit of the challenge, but you could absolutely sell your golden runes (and I think remembrances too) and get the same value for them. Or would that count as opening your inventory, I guess?

So just starting this video I want to say you can still use remembrances and runes by selling them to Merchants because you're technically not opening the inventory you're opening the merchant menu
one thing i learned recent against the foreskins: if you hit them while they're playing their death animation it counts as damage to their total health bar
Yeahhh… I mean, it’s fine, but the answer to the title is absolutely “no” at least from this run. Obviously you *could* because you don’t need your horse… but idk why you’d invalidate the run in the first minute of the video lol
Watching you mess up those gargoyles made me so happy and full of joy 😂 I just recently beat them with my full strength build, but I got stuck on them for a whole day because I suck 😢
OK, somebody has to arrest Bushy for his own safety right now. This is getting out of control. Soon we'll see: Bushy: _"In this run, we are attempting to beat Elden Ring without running the .exe ... Let' see."_
Just watched this video and decided to try it myself, was pretty fun, not too difficult thankfully, hardest part was def godskin duo, but I managed to beat the challenge in just under 2 and a half hours, thanks for the inspiration Bushy :D
Can never stop being surprised with the ideas of challenge runs. This never came to my mind. P.S. Oh my. Samurai negates most of the downsides, but no talismans...
@@skinless5136 doesn't erdtree favour +2 give more hp though? or if it doesn't, it still gives decent fp and stamina so I think it's a more well rounded talisman
I love a good class run. basically this challenge only you wouldn't be leveling up and I guess you'd be able to selectively remove your original armor and equipment if you wanted to light roll or something.
Crystal dart throwables literally overload the gargoyles and drive them crazy so they attack their allies, you mean the little cat looking stone dudes in the catacombs right?
The gargoyles has low resistance to Strike Physical damage and Magic damage, so just use spell like Rock Sling that deal strike and Glintstone Shard that deal magic. If you use summons, try using ranged one because the boss have big aoe, I like latenna the archer summon because she has the longest range and can take advantage of the big arena, just place her next to the fog gate, also fun fact if you give twinned armor set to the npc (D's brother) just before the boss area, you can summon him to fight with you. Bait and fight the first gargoyle very close to the fog gate, so when the second one jump he need to walk long way to get to you, at this time frame try to nuke the first one to death really quickly by spamming Glintstone Shard for example. When you hear they about to vomit poison cloud run away immediately, the poison cloud also stagger you so yeah.
So this is basically what my first playthrough of Elden Ring was, minus talismans. Edit:Btw, the best infusion for the uchi if you go pure dex is lightning. The only time you should switch off it is if the enemy is resistant to lightning.
so.... just an uchi playthrough? and not even an un-upgraded one? man these ridiculous runs of yours Ive been watching have really made me jaded on what actually counts as a "challenge"
watching this guy defeat the gargoyles makes me feel trash. He beat them with the samurai armor and the uchigatana and I couldn't beat them when I had more health the fingerprint armor a plus 3 mimic tear and a plus six rivers of blood and I still lost
Imagine a run where you can’t interact with anything inside the site of grace menu. Can’t level up, can’t get more flasks Or change the flasks you have, can’t change what’s in your physick, can equip new spells(or spells at all of you didn’t start with any), can’t equip a great rune. Wonder if Ymfah would do that
@@thisiswhatitfeelslike theoretically, it might be easier than an sl 1 run due to you being able to get powerstanced katanas with samurai, bleed buffing em both and badabingbadaboom
Umm ... I don't think that's true. Technically, you are at the blacksmith and you access your upgradables _through his menu_. It is a distinct page with his name on top, so I don't think it is an exception, but rather within the rules of the run.
I would love to see a Bushy video that’s just “making the most overpowered build imaginable” and see what he comes up with. His knowledge of the game is pretty immense!
He did a playthrough of trying to beat each boss in 1 hit...that is probably the closest thing he would do to this sort of "challenge"
@@yzman123 I’ve watched it and definitely not what I’m imagining
"the bushy build"
@@yzman123 that's basically it
@@christianolson8543 It would just be a rivers of blood or similar run. It wouldn't even remotely be a challenge run.
Another great thing about the Samurai is starting with the longbow and having normal and fire arrows equipped too. Gives just a little more flexibility in this type of run.
i chose samurai because in ds3 the uchigatana was amazing.
@@pootassopick always is the Dex workhorse
Kinda shocked they didn't go astro for similar reasons - Carian Slicer replaces a sword just fine if you really want, and you've got all sorts of funny spells you can use to kick gum and chew ass.

@@ED-E469 ye next playthru imma change my weapon up
Sounds way more challenging than it actually is, this was basically an uchigatana playtrough of the game
He did beat the game in 4 hours and he was pretty underleveled, so he made it harder on himself
lol yea, basically just a 'starting samurai gear only' playthrough, not all that special considering all the other crazy stuff he's done but hey, they cant all be winners :D
worse. It was a PEDESTRIAN run
My first playthru i vowed to use uchigtana the entire time from the beginning and so far ive killed everything with the uchi and im on radagon rn
Yeah but to be fair most people in an uchi playthrough would've still played the game with all craftable/quick items available, Talismans, maybe some kind of spells or magic for buffing the blade in addition to Arts of War, and probably swapped armor pretty frequently. He obviously wasn't able to do any of that so this run still deserves good merits in my opinion :)
Odd how you can literally just waltz through the whole main game with just starting equipment lol
Has been like that since DS
I honestly thinks this is main reason why prophet stars with fire spell, not some holy damage spells
Unlike other RPG's player skill plays a huge part in your success.
@@skirtsnake8808 yeah I think holy heals the final boss or he's just immune I can't remember

Any tips for a casual astrologer for the gargoyles fight? Or just tips in general
Crystal dart throwables literally overload the gargoyles and drive them crazy so they attack their allies, you mean the little cat looking stone dudes in the catacombs right?
@@thebigree6155 no like that twinblade gargoyle fight, the one in nokron
Get good
The gargoyles has low resistance to Strike Physical damage and Magic damage, so just use spell like Rock Sling that deal strike and Glintstone Shard that deal magic.
If you use summons, try using ranged one because the boss have big aoe, I like latenna the archer summon because she has the longest range and can take advantage of the big arena, just place her next to the fog gate, also fun fact if you give twinned armor set to the npc (D's brother) just before the boss area, you can summon him to fight with you.
Bait and fight the first gargoyle very close to the fog gate, so when the second one jump he need to walk long way to get to you, at this time frame try to nuke the first one to death really quickly by spamming Glintstone Shard for example.

Ah, a good morning when Bushy uploads
"spend all my souls"
that's a true dark souls player
4:25 the roll is comedic gold
Can use gold runes by selling them, same with remembrances. The shop and sell menus are not the inventory.
love your runs man im waiting for a whip only run or arrow only
Damn he's good. Those rolls are on point
so.... just an uchi playthrough? and not even an un-upgraded one? man these ridiculous runs of yours Ive been watching have really made me jaded on what actually counts as a "challenge"
Man, you're awesome as always...
What about next?
Maybe on on a mage char?
Like only gravity spells
Or only haima (hammer ,Cannon)
Just some ideas...
Btw, I heard they are going to do Elden ring 2, it will be called EldenBushy...
Elden ring, "but I can only use my wepon in my left hand "
Astrologer would be the best for this run since you can still equip spell
Now do Elden ring without pausing. Oh wait
You can "use" golden runes. You just sell them instead of "using" them. They sell for their exact rune amounts.
watching this guy defeat the gargoyles makes me feel trash. He beat them with the samurai armor and the uchigatana and I couldn't beat them when I had more health the fingerprint armor a plus 3 mimic tear and a plus six rivers of blood and I still lost
Not really sure what the challenge is here
Asidefrom limiting yourself to a single weapon....which you can fully upgrade....and which has bleed
no talismans, cant use buff items like grease or prawns or exalted flesh, not able to use remembrances to level up etc
Elden ring, "but I can only use shields"
I was about to be like a torrents less run what a mad man
Btw you can actually sell runes, so u don’t need your inventory for that
ayeee less go another upload! love this guy
I was hoping you where gonna do my verse where you actually have no inventory so no weapons armor or heals
This is basically just “can you beat elden ring with only an uchigatana

Wonder if Ymfah would do that
Nah that's too hardcore, you would basically have to no-hit every boss while doing pathetic amounts of damage.
@@thisiswhatitfeelslike theoretically, it might be easier than an sl 1 run due to you being able to get powerstanced katanas with samurai, bleed buffing em both and badabingbadaboom
Annnnd he's done it. A graceless run through.
18:33
Everyone is doing challenge runs meanwhile I still can’t beat elden beast on my first run.
Have you done it yet?
Bro imagine beating Radahn in under 50 minutes, let alone an hour 💀💀
i think the summons are the best because they auto equip so you can use summons
Honestly it took me 30 hours to realise you could use the runes, I just sold them and you get the same price as usual it just takes less time
Bro should have used a spell or miracle build because you can actually use a more versatile move set
Radagon is one of the best, if not the best. Elden beast is one of, if not THE boss after Radagon
thanks 4 the upload bussy
How the hell did I only just now notice that Godskin Noble has a tail?
Hey bushy i gotta admit the volume is a little bit low in the videos even though im on max for my phone
Damn at 5:48 is strictly pain
Radahn's nerf is so very sad to see...
They reverted it I thought cause it was a bug, even though some of his attacks still don’t seem as powerful but still close.
What about selling gold runes and using the elevator medalions
you know you can sell the remembrances and golden runes for the exact amount of runes ?
Great work …
More please 🙏
Technically you open your inventory to upgrade a weapon :P But I get it, it's a bit too much. Awesome run!!
Umm ... I don't think that's true. Technically, you are at the blacksmith and you access your upgradables _through his menu_. It is a distinct page with his name on top, so I don't think it is an exception, but rather within the rules of the run.
have u tried no tailsmen
