Here are 3 reasons why Fire Giant is a well designed boss: 1. He is above 5’11. 2. He rolls around in snow and rolling in snow is very wholesome. 3. He has a face on his belly which means he can eat TWICE the amount of food.
Scum come to the lord jesus and be saved People please I preach to you out of love belive on the lord Jesus Christ and trust in him for you salvation and not in yourself Christ came to die for our sin we have all sinned and deserve hell but God is so merciful and Jesus died on the cross to take our punishment so that who ever belive on him will not perish but have eternal life john 3:16 romans 10:9 if we confess with our mouth Jesus is lord and belive in our heart that god rose him from the dead we will be saved we can not earn salvation it is the free gift from God❤❤❤,,...
You would have needed to cast Casualty 156 times to beat Radagon to kill him. Would have used 8 full fp bars in the process if you only cast Casualty. Elden beast would have been about 500 casts, and you'd have needed to have needed about 23 fp bars to cast it. Its not doable
I think melania would be 100% impossible since she heals when she hits you even if it is blocked with a shield and getting all those casts off while dodging every hit and also having to cast golden epitath and holy ground would be something even LMSH could not do.
@@skomolowski Lmao what are you talking about. Holy is objectively the worst damage type. The only "boss" weak against it is the freaking deathrite bird and it isn't that it suddenly gets bad around the last several bosses, it just goes from being resisted slightly more than every other element to being resisted exponentially more than every other element, to the point of unusability. Its literally the most resisted element objectively, there is no metric where holy is "one of the best" anything lol. It doesn't help that the handful of holy weapons in the game are garbo and all the holy spells, even literal end boss spells are hot garbo too. It's like they tried turning the "dark is the bad guys so holy damage is decent/good" in all the other soul games on its head but went way to far with it. Ironically the best faith weapon is the blasphemous blade lmao
There is scaling, it’s just that the buffs, such as Golden Order seal and Gold Mask’s mask, buff the initial casting of the incantation. The damage when the bubble gets popped is a separate thing and has flat damage
Well, this was also the doing of the company that took a look at Tibia summons and decided it needed a buff and then buffed it not enough then left it, so not too surprising.
It does have scaling It’s just that the casting of the bubble has scaling The bubble pop is a separate thing so it doesn’t get buffed by Golden Order Seal or the Goldmask It does get buffed by the holy shrouded tear and the holy scorpion charm if I’m not mistaken
skum in the negative level run you can probably crouch under some of radagons attacks saving your stamina therefore gaining a higher percentage of encountering Elden beast
i get that Fromsoft likes their weird scalings and exceptions and stuff, but can they stop making it so half the things you'd expect to scale with a stat or item randomly don't, and those things would be bad either way?
I feel like they purposely broke law of casualty because it could genuinely be a good spell and they can't make holy damage good, that'd be lame or something I dunno why they gimped holy so much.
PvP explains a lot of questionable design choices. They have to be VERY careful about what spells work with which buffs, which work with which items, which work with what ash of war, etc. From has learned the lesson that if there's a broken combo they missed, players will not only find it quickly, but it's ALL they'll ever use online. At least for Causality, they could have done something like Bide from Pokemon, where it keeps track of the damage you take while it's active and does the total damage back when it pops. This way it would scale with your opponents, which would be pretty novel. Maybe have a damage cap based on int/faith if it's too strong.
@@TheKrossRoads i guess instead of going through the hassle of balancing every spell and ability around what buffs you can get, they take the easy way out and make the buffs not affect them. it's still weird how the stuff that doesn't scale is often stuff that is weak to begin with. Law of Causality in this case requires you to get hit 5 times, has a long cast time, your opponent clearly knows about it and even when it procs it has a delay to let them dodge. AND the hits reset after a while. considering how many very powerful options you do have, why do they gimp these random weak incantations that have counterplay.
@@atoucangirlI think Causality is that way because it's needed for a faith quest line, so they made it need int. You can meet the int requirement almost entirely through physic and gear.
@@harpingon yeah but why doesn't it scale with all the stuff he mentionned at the beginning of the video? also it would make sense that a faith questline would give you an spell that uses faith, if you're already down that road.
It's actually 'good' if you didn't know about it. Punishes people that spams R1 as it'll trigger Karmic Justice. Can do decent amount of damage. Out of the hundreds of hours that I did of DS1 PvP however, it's an extremely niche use case scenario Muracle. @@xmgaming2444
That is one thing I've never liked about from software. I dont like how they scale up their npc enemies damage so much. You'll fight an enemy who will cast a spell and it will do over 1k damage, but then when you try to cast it with 99 stat, it does a max of like 500
I love how when Gideon gets the opportunity to attack he uses his special move "not one, not three, but nine rings of Radagon". P.S: I just realized he actually used 12 🤣
I’m pretty sure the reason this spell doesn’t scale or increase damage by incantation buffs is because it’s categorized as a buff. The only other buff that also deals damage is Howl, but nobody uses that for the damage, so you never notice it.
Skum keeps finding increasingly more masochistic elden ring challenges, when I was here thinking they were all already done. The climb is truly endless.
They made this spell like we back in ds3 or sumin where you can't have nice things for spells, then the rest of elden ring is in the future where you can min-max the schnitzel out of stuff and get insane damage
Can you beat Elden Ring by dying? Well, technically speaking, every living being is constantly dying. So, TECHNICALLY SPEAKING, I've already beaten Elden Ring by dying before you even started this run soooooooooo...
Since I haven't yet beaten it, does that mean I'm just dying in elden ring? (You know as in removing the "beating by" part and being left only with "dying")
I redid the math and it was definitely impossible to beat Radagon and Elden Beast even with talismans and buffs, it's just mathematically not gonna happen I mean skum knew that already but just repeating it here
That's because of his GIANT scandal on twitter that made me so sick I nearly puked in my mouth. I think myself and all of us loyal fans will only forgive Skum if he plays a ukulele song apologizing for putting Broc plush into a living jar and filling it Bloodborne sticky white stuff.
I’ve been stabbed 8 times in the chest. Whole I lay in this alley bleeding out and my phone at one percent, I’m watching this video. The climb never stops.
Do you think gideon was bugging out and rolling constantly because of the golden epitaph bug? Like he was registering it as an attack constantly going off, so he was constantly trying to dodge it
Oh damn he's got a hello freah sponsorship! Sir nut is coming up in the world, thems is a good sponsor. I know I'm trying to make it sound funny but I am serious they are a good sponsor. I always think to myself "oh wow they got hello fresh, their channel's doing good" when I see someone has them or recently got them as a sponsor. Glad to see his channel growing and getting sponsors. Love the channel, I find him way more entertaining than a lot of gaming channels that have mote subscriptions. He deserves a million subscribers at least.
Gotta love these spells that have similar or higher requirements than spells that absolutely dumpster them in efficiency and are just terrible in every way, there is no reason for this to exist other than being masochist run content and I love it
Here are 3 reasons why Fire Giant is a well designed boss:
1. He is above 5’11.
2. He rolls around in snow and rolling in snow is very wholesome.
3. He has a face on his belly which means he can eat TWICE the amount of food.
❤
He can also order twice the number of HollowFresh meals using code Skumnut!
Dark tark ahh explanation
Also he has a mouth in his belly, that means he can speedrun digestion any%
Can Malenia do that? I don't think so
Ok caseoh
Fun fact,skum actually helped myazaki through development of Fire Giant, that's why he loves him so much
he manifested climb energy in miyazaki

But with the mana regen talisman from the DLC, now it is possible. If you got hours and hours of dodging in you.

Love how the first two minutes of the video is Skumnut explaining how this spell doesn't work like it should in the slightest.
Godfrey has 21,903 hp on NG. 2:00:06 is equal to 7206 seconds, divided by 21,903 equals out to 3.04 dps. Great parse!

I love how at 25:40 you can see the kid get killed by nothing forshadowing what is about to happen to skum
Isn't this More like Can you beat elden ring as a masochist?
Actually, that's like every skumnut video
honestly mind blowing how this thing scales with like nothing. how did they even overlook that.
it's holy and anything holy has to be garbage. it must be lore accurate I think

Well, this was also the doing of the company that took a look at Tibia summons and decided it needed a buff and then buffed it not enough then left it, so not too surprising.
It does have scaling

Woke up at 3am with the video playing and hearing skum in my dreams. Worst nightmare Ive ever had.
Have you considered a run where every enemy hits like truck like a spearman would still do dog damage but send you flying back
A run where every attack flings you would be funny to see, especially paired with the 500% run
Well in ER every enemy hits like a truck already
Skum really showing of his masochist kinks with this run
I'm pretty sure they only created this spell to be a gimmick in Gideon's fight and added it to the player because they already did the animations
This is a hood classic already
I love the fact that in the end it was simply more effective to bash radagons skull into nothing
Can you do an Elden ring run while oiled up
That is one thing I've never liked about from software. I dont like how they scale up their npc enemies damage so much. You'll fight an enemy who will cast a spell and it will do over 1k damage, but then when you try to cast it with 99 stat, it does a max of like 500
Thanks for streaming last night Skum. Watching you try to kill black knife assassin for an hour was awesome
With the new blue dew talisman you can beat basically any boss but malenia with this eventually
Skum is my favorite, bro can do anything and I’d laugh ngl
Low-key don't understand why death bed dress makes him explode
For hurting urself my first thought was the explosive tear and thorn magic (which was awful pre dlc). Didn’t expect this form of torture.
15:20 Ah, finally, the Push the Tempo build
I loved when Skumnut said, “it’s skumming time”, and skummed all over the place
I love how when Gideon gets the opportunity to attack he uses his special move "not one, not three, but nine rings of Radagon".
P.S: I just realized he actually used 12 🤣
Skum being like "Despite the wiki saying so"
My brother in christ you used the Fextralife wiki
No matter how many times you get hit, no matter how much you die YOU MUST CLIMB, PRAISE THE CLIMB
Bro the talent to stop the timer on 20 minutes for the godrick fight
I’m pretty sure the reason this spell doesn’t scale or increase damage by incantation buffs is because it’s categorized as a buff. The only other buff that also deals damage is Howl, but nobody uses that for the damage, so you never notice it.
It doesn't help that so many bosses are resistant to holy damage either. Really makes running a holy build so frustrating
I think the funniest part about this spell is seeing Skum ultimately prefer to punch things to death than use the spell.
first time in recorded history that an Elden Ring challenge runner has levelled Mind
Love the videos. Can’t wait to see what you’ll do with the DLC. The possibilities are endless!
idc what challenge youre doing, bending the rules or even just straight cheating for godskin duo will always be allowed
1:03:38 didn't know Gideon is a master of roly poly art 😂😂 also reminds me of how I dodge boss attacks😂
I don’t know why but Skum’s videos are what I watch when I have a bad day, thanks for helping me through my nut.
Ah I see, the incantation doesn't scale with *emotional* damage.
This build might be overpowered

At 15:46 bro hitting the jojo siwa
I think none of those things work with it because no one uses it so the devs probably didn’t know it was broken

Gideon was rolling like that because every time last rites hit you he thought it was a spell cast. Cool new cheese strat you've found :)
This is half the reason I’m not getting sleep tonight and it’s worth it
15:32 omg it Jojo Siwa
The funny thing is that the song and the incantation are about the same thing: Karma
I wonder if the dress + golden epitaph glitch also applies something like consecutive hit talismans and the Godskin Swaddling Cloth.
No
The title should have been "Can You Beat Elden Ring By Engaging in CBT?"
“Ayo player tip you gotta kill yo self” ahh gameplay
Doesn’t Gideon use another spell that weakens both your spell resistant and his own
Skum, can you please do ds3 bouoder heave only?
I'd love to see that

Honestly I think skum needs to beat the game while jumping instead of dodging. To see how many attacks you can jump lol
Love how Gideon bugs out from his own spell 😂
The endurance of this man is absolutely baffling
These were some fun streams. Turned out being a good spell for chat to have fun, lol.
skum putting himself through all this nightmare just for us guys! gotta appreciate it fr

Loved this entire run. Glory to the most broken spell/enchant in the game.
