Mimic isn't really great in "summon only" runs, as it copies your build and stat allocation, you'd have to heavily give up a support build's stats for tankier stat allocation which really isn't viable... Mimic is considered "B" Tier in Summon Only as it just becomes a souped up version of a support build most times, Dung Eater, Bloodhound Floh, Blackknife Tiche, Pumpkin Warrior, Rot Dog, etc, are typicially the more op summons for summon only as they're already solo summons with beef to them
If I could suggest a run: Do a fake sorcerer run. Use only moves that cost FP to attack but you can’t use sorcery’s or incantations. There’s a lot of things that cost FP so there enough variety to make things interesting. Ex: fire pot- no, Magic pots- yes Bone darts- no, crystal darts- yes All tools, spirit ashes, ashes of war are allowed ( in order to avoid ash of war run you can only use ashes of war for 1 FP bar per rest at grace, [optional though, might be to hard] ) Try to be elden lord while having flunked out of Raya Lucaria
I think rather than a limit on how much FP he can use for AoW he could instead use the glintstone pebble ash since in the lore even the most basic of flunkies learn how to do glintstone pebble and since he's using the AoW version it doesn't really break the spirit of the run

@@NoNameX_X0 what ER content? Hes barely made any ER videos. Like, 7 maybe? and a few of those aren't even challenges or anything. Big fan of his but he doesnt do much ER content where hes goated. Not like Aggy or Bushy.
Heres a tip, if you want to draw aggro you should get the duelists set, each piece of armor increases aggro that you draw to yourself, so the full set plus shabriri's woe will pretty much make the enemies always attack you even if you dont attack them
Aggro is like 80% of the time. Doesn’t work on mimic tear though, and i’m sure that if a spirit ash attacks too much they’ll still have aggro most of the time
The thing with all of these aggro effects is that you still need to hit an enemy to make use of them. They more or less just give the aggro you apply more weight compared to other entities.
Hello. Comment on a year old video here. Shabriri's Woe says it increases enemies aggression, not make them focus you. I thought that too untill it was thoroughly explained to me, so I understand your pain. VERY basic and short explanation of what Shabriri's Woe does: once you already have an enemy's agro, they stay agro'd on you for longer. A better explanation would probobly be that it, "enhances", or, "extend's" enemy agro.
I wish I could erase my memory of playing Elden Ring so that I can experience it again like the first time. This game is so freaking good. Love these challenge runs.
Cosmo Mind's comment about "becoming Elden Lord after flunking out of Raya Lucaria" gave me an idea for a run. Beat Elden Ring as a Noble Sorcerer. The guys who actually DID flunk out of Raya Lucaria. - Prisoner start for base Glintstone Staff. You aren't allowed to use any other staff. - Not allowed to cast any spells other than Glintstone Pebble or deal damage with anything else except bonking with the staff if you absolutely have to. You can buy Glintstone Pebble from Thops without having to fight anything. - Not allowed to equip weapons, just the staff (no Golden Vow dagger for you). - Must dress the part: Unaltered Aristocrat Garb, Aristocrat Headband, Aristocrat Boots. Farm for it in the ruins next to Iji or just cheat it in. - The most important part: *You are not allowed to increase your INT in any way.* No levelling it up, no talismans or gear that boost it, no Intelligence-knot Crystal Tear. If you could get smarter, you wouldn't have flunked out. - Levelling up other stats is allowed. - Other ways to improve your damage like the Graven talismans, Magic Scorpion Charm, Magic-Shrouding Cracked Tear, and upgrading the staff itself are allowed. - Summoning your fellow Noble Sorcerer is allowed, as well as upgrading him, but not Mimic Tear.
I tried this challenge once and though I never got to finish it, fanged imp ashes were my go-to as early game summons. They do good bleed buildup and kinda scurry away in random directions, making them tricky to hit for bosses
Interesting detail about Shabriri's Woe is the fact that if you're not doing anything to draw the enemy's aggro, they won't focus you at all. It can be useful if you summon, but not if you can't do anything yourself to draw their aggro
It's best to think of aggro like a stat the builds up when damaging the boss, shabriri makes it build up faster, but if your not building it up at all then its a moot point.
I'm surprised chat didn't recommend or Bushy not knowing Gideon is weak to madness, that fight coulda been over so much quicker if Mimic had madness incantations
My favorite summons are the bird deenth, pretty sure that's the name, and the two spear skeletons you get from the boat guy. They are both very good and, in my opinion, underrated

Every time i get hard stuck on a boss in elden ring using a totally viable, regular build, i just watch a little bit of bushy doing some obscenely difficult challenge run and realize how much easier i have it. Then i fail a few more times and finish the video so i can see what it’s like to actually kill a boss.
I’ve been watching your videos for a while, and not only do I think that was a really refreshing take on a summon only video, but I think that your commentary once you got to using mimic tear puts it, and your content in general, in a tier above most other Elden Ring content. Great job, and fantastic video!
Just a tip even tho nobody is probably gonna need it. In the godskin fight you want bernhal to always fight the skinny guy since he pretty much solos him without any help at all. Even when he respawns you can simply beat the fat guy up and watch the spectacle since the skinny guy won’t stand a chance

Dude I've been watching your playthroughs for the last couple days and you are an absolute legend! I straight rage quit this game some time back and watching you play has gotten me reinvested in it and I picked up a bunch of tricks just watching you play
28:40 idk if this ad placement is intentional, but having it come up right as you simultaneously get smashed by a rock as he phase changes is perfect. Also I was laughing my ass off when he started yelling at Gideon for all the spam he does
mimic tears kinda kill the fun of the run dude ngl. wanted to see some summon flavor here and there, but it was fun at the begin to see u improvise everyfight with what IA will do. also interresting to note after THAT MANY YEARS of dark souls, i just noticed how passive friendly npc are compared to hostile (godfrey stomping that poor dung like it was godrick ashaming daily session in front of the rest of the royaltie) and it's hilarious.
currently on my first play through of elden ring and im struggling killing 90% of enemies/bosses and im using the bloodhounds fang melee build. seeing you complete these challenges while severely disadvantaged is so cool. the dedication you have is admirable. im having a blast playing this game so far. im loving the content man!
was watching some of the streams, it's so cool to see someone genuinely dedicated to keeping the set rules without cheating, unless completely necessary to continue. After looking at some other channels I think you've earned my respect for consistently not cheating.
Run suggestion: Scrooge McDucks run. Rules: - Can't spend runes - Can die but can't lose runes. If you died on your way to recover, have to start over. The goal is to see how much runes you can bring to Marika Statue
@@MANTARKAFA31 You're probably right about the difficulty, but he went out of his way to beat every other nonessential Remembrance boss. Weird to leave it unfinished like that
Pretty cool to see summon only runs, I like the gimmick of boss kills for leveling them. It also shows how busted summons are in general since it'd be so easy if he was actually hitting the boss too.
Godskin/Giant's/Gravel/Finger Seals are physical items so they all have strength scaling because you can punch with them and do more damage than with the other seals but that strength scaling doesn't affect incantations... unless I missed something. Speaking of which does clawmark seal affect any of the spells he used, I was of the understanding that buffs and heals weren't affected by Clawmark's strength scaling or at least the seal has very poor scaling with buffs/heals
I have a run to suggest my boy, hope you like the idea. Only Ashes of War, but wait, there's a Twist. You can use each weapon art ONLY ONCE PER BOSSFIGHT. Once you use it, you can't use ir again (in this bossfight) unless you retry the boss. Next boss, you can use this weapon art again though. The difficulty lies in the limited resources only game, in changing weapons mid fight, and in stats and upgrades material distribution for the weapon variety. Obs1: If the weapon art is a combo, you can use the whole combo, it counts as one cast. Obs2: You can't use summons. Obs3: Yes, I know you can use Marai's Sword Weapon art to one shot some bosses, but thats all right, is not a early game item anyway, there will still be some difficulty in attaining it (but if you want to avoid using it, is all right).
I think Shabriri's Woe works by A) making enemies more likely to target you when being attacked by multiple of your allies at once, and B) switches targets to you faster than it would others/takes longer to switch to a different target when it is targeting you. But you need to be an eligible target for enemy attacks in the first place, i.e. actively attacking the enemy and being a danger to them. You can't just sit off to the side and draw all the aggro while doing nothing while your allies wail on the enemy to no consequence. So it wouldn't really help in a challenge like this, where you forbid yourself from attacking or dealing any damage to enemies. Much more helpful, however, if you're doing co-op and trying to prevent the host from dying, for instance.
Fun Fact: You don't have to fight Godrick or Margit in Stormveil because there is a shortcut beside Stormveil, near the Stormhill Shack and next to the broken bridge, that passes Margit and the whole castle, into Liurnia. I'm not sure if you have to fight Godrick to beat the game, but Margit is optional and you can easily pass the castle for early/midgame loot.
would love to see this format revisited with all the new summons, some of them are really cool! Gino did a challenge run with summons only but it wasn't pokemon style ;)
I haven’t played this game yet so I only watch these nutso attempts. One of the reasons I LOVED ds1 is played it without a guide and the elevator that drops you back to fire link. Since I ruined ds3 and bloodborne (2 was impossible without a guide) so I’m playing this at Christmas, blind to all but bosses
The summons in this game are so cool. I kind of wish I hadn't forced myself to not use them on my first playthrough it was so fun playing through the game again with a necromancerish build with some of the ashes
That Godfrey fight is *spectacular* at showing how fucking annoyingly aggressive Elden Ring's bosses are. - RECOVERY? WHAT'S THAT?? - LIMITED RESOURCES? NEVER HEARD OF 'EM. Oh, also how stupid the poise/hyperarmor systems are. The fact that Omekiller Rollo doesn't use player stats/poise makes him obejectively better at keeping up with spam machines like Godfrey/Morgott and all the other freaking ballerinas.
I think the aggro talisman also has something to do with damage that isn't listed anywhere, as far as I can tell. When I was playing coop with some friends, I used the talisman because it made things easier when you knew who the boss was gonna target, instead of them constantly switching targets in the middle of an attack animation, and it worked for the most part. But if I had to take a moment to heal or something and my friend started attacking the boss, it would immediately switch to them, even if the boss was right next to me and my friend was across the arena. I think it's similar to like tanking in WoW, where you have priority for enemes to attack you, but if you stand there and do nothing while something else is damaging the boss, it will just swap to them.
11:27 the problem with Vanguard is not that there's a zombie mode, but the fact that they tell Treyarch to do it instead of an other studio. Treyarch just finished a year of Zombie with Cold War, it was too much for them

17:18 Godfrey is WHOOPING dung eaters ass in that corner😭😭😭😭😭😭
Thanks for all the effort you put in your vids ! I enjoy them to the fullest.
I have a run to suggest my boy, hope you like the idea.
Only Ashes of War, but wait, there's a Twist.
You can use each weapon art ONLY ONCE PER BOSSFIGHT. Once you use it, you can't use ir again (in this bossfight) unless you retry the boss. Next boss, you can use this weapon art again though.
The difficulty lies in the limited resources only game, in changing weapons mid fight, and in stats and upgrades material distribution for the weapon variety.
Obs1: If the weapon art is a combo, you can use the whole combo, it counts as one cast.
Obs2: You can't use summons.
Obs3: Yes, I know you can use Marai's Sword Weapon art to one shot some bosses, but thats all right, is not a early game item anyway, there will still be some difficulty in attaining it (but if you want to avoid using it, is all right).
Bro said “why avoid damage when you can take health”
What's even more impressive - Elden Ring actually makes this a playable option.
when he said i need more stam regen im like, but why not get the turtle shield bro
I think Shabriri's Woe works by A) making enemies more likely to target you when being attacked by multiple of your allies at once, and B) switches targets to you faster than it would others/takes longer to switch to a different target when it is targeting you. But you need to be an eligible target for enemy attacks in the first place, i.e. actively attacking the enemy and being a danger to them. You can't just sit off to the side and draw all the aggro while doing nothing while your allies wail on the enemy to no consequence. So it wouldn't really help in a challenge like this, where you forbid yourself from attacking or dealing any damage to enemies. Much more helpful, however, if you're doing co-op and trying to prevent the host from dying, for instance.
Great content my man, as always
@@23Butanedione then go watch someone else. I don't understand why people like you always have to be so negative and try to spread it around.
11:41 - 11:52 whoever added the healing bit is a sick bastard who knew what they were doing…
Everytime I fight Radahn I shout “summon thy homies!” As i manically use torrent and summon all the npcs lol
As solaire said "“But, use this, to summon one another as spirits, cross the gaps between the worlds, and engage in jolly co-operation!”
Fun Fact: You don't have to fight Godrick or Margit in Stormveil because there is a shortcut beside Stormveil, near the Stormhill Shack and next to the broken bridge, that passes Margit and the whole castle, into Liurnia. I'm not sure if you have to fight Godrick to beat the game, but Margit is optional and you can easily pass the castle for early/midgame loot.
They need to make the area on the heals much bigger
Or have a ranged one that lets you target allies.
@@Leach-ez7dq that's would be neat
@@goreobsessed2308Well this aged well
would love to see this format revisited with all the new summons, some of them are really cool! Gino did a challenge run with summons only but it wasn't pokemon style ;)
This run would have went ALOT smoother with black knife Tiche. Video is still kool.
The problem is how do you even kill him if there’s no summon available in the gaol
@42:17 "Now that might not have dealt a lot of damage
but damn did it feel good."
You really needed to play this entire run in a sexy nurse outfit... for Halloween, no other reason...
Mad respect for bushy, for simply chuckling when you die instead of losing your shit.
WHY DIDNT YOU GET THE ERDTREE SEAL AT THE VOLCANO
3:20 Yes, NPC summoning does increase a boss's health. So do so at your own risk lmao
41:23 f me dude *moans*
30:48 that one friend when you take him to the club for his first time
0:44 bro loki looks like a sinister bruce lee olryt 😂
I haven’t played this game yet so I only watch these nutso attempts. One of the reasons I LOVED ds1 is played it without a guide and the elevator that drops you back to fire link. Since I ruined ds3 and bloodborne (2 was impossible without a guide) so I’m playing this at Christmas, blind to all but bosses
Notice at 29:30 dung saves you from getting hit by giant rock ❤. Def top ten anime love story’s
This is amazing because i never watch a 10 minutes longer video and now i'm here every single day watching some of your videos.
The summons in this game are so cool. I kind of wish I hadn't forced myself to not use them on my first playthrough it was so fun playing through the game again with a necromancerish build with some of the ashes
Tries to make ash:
Makes Guts:
Sounds about right for a Fromsoft game
I wouldn't have gone for the Dung Eater summon. Lhutel is generally more reliable, since she has a ranged option and teleports around a lot to dodge.
Bushy> "Why aren't my heals working!?"
Dung Eater> "Why aren't you casting heal!?"
14:30 the loretta fight drip is top tier
That Godfrey fight is *spectacular* at showing how fucking annoyingly aggressive Elden Ring's bosses are.
- RECOVERY? WHAT'S THAT??
- LIMITED RESOURCES? NEVER HEARD OF 'EM.
Oh, also how stupid the poise/hyperarmor systems are. The fact that Omekiller Rollo doesn't use player stats/poise makes him obejectively better at keeping up with spam machines like Godfrey/Morgott and all the other freaking ballerinas.
Renala’s part got me in tears
31:11
I think the aggro talisman also has something to do with damage that isn't listed anywhere, as far as I can tell. When I was playing coop with some friends, I used the talisman because it made things easier when you knew who the boss was gonna target, instead of them constantly switching targets in the middle of an attack animation, and it worked for the most part. But if I had to take a moment to heal or something and my friend started attacking the boss, it would immediately switch to them, even if the boss was right next to me and my friend was across the arena. I think it's similar to like tanking in WoW, where you have priority for enemes to attack you, but if you stand there and do nothing while something else is damaging the boss, it will just swap to them.
11:27 the problem with Vanguard is not that there's a zombie mode, but the fact that they tell Treyarch to do it instead of an other studio. Treyarch just finished a year of Zombie with Cold War, it was too much for them
