Is it a smart strategy in Elden Ring is to level up Intelligence? For a caster build it is a no-brainer. So surely leveling up ONLY Intelligence is the smartest strategy possible, right? Check out this genius build using the Carian Regal Scepter, Ranni's Dark Moon, Rock Sling, and Carian Slicer to out-smart the bosses of the Lands Between!

Your browser is holding you back. Level up with Opera GX: operagx.gg/TulokMango
You might want to know that opera Gx is connected to a bunch of really sketchy loan sharks just fyi
@@the_pixel_possum I mean the other options aren't morally much better tbh. Definitely good to be aware of though
L sponsorship. youre better than this
@@the_pixel_possumwell I’ll make sure not to borrow any money while i bling out my browser
Joke's on you, I've already been using it for like 6 months. It's pretty good ngl.
The draconic tree sentinal is ectually optional. After reaching Altus and beating Radahn, Mimic tear and gargoyles, you can reach the deeproot dephts. After beating Fia's champions, you can use a teleporter in the arena to get to Lyendell. It does take some time, but if you ever do a run in the future for wich you want to get the age of the duskborn ending it might be a faster way.
The only problem with this is you skip one annoying boss by fighting 2 other more annoying bosses.
Why yes, instead of fighting 1 horsey boy (with at minimum Rennala and godrick), you fight godrick and radahn, mimic tear, 2 of the most annoying bosses in the game, try not to die just traversing deeproot, and 5 invaders
Seems like an even trade
@@patdav56hey never said the alternative was better/more fun. they just clarified that you don't actually have to fight the draconic tree sentinel and that the other way might be faster for some builds
I thought it was meant as a joke
@@matthewquirin3081 gargs aren't annoying though I've never had to fight more than one at a time since they give you so much time to kill the first one
the metors miss rennalla because range attacks have disadvantage to hit enemies that are prone, you should know this after all your dnd vids
Sorry, I'm not a D&D UA-camr, I'm an Elden Ring youTuber
this is tulok and mango 🥱
Meteors are a save, not an attack. Carian slicer is an attack.
I was gonna add that it isnt just ranged attacks, all attacks beyond 5 feet from a prone target have disadvantage
Okay it obviously didn't work here because of the lack of Endruance but DAMN leaning Thops' Barrier can literally counter GOD is just. Poetic justice.
Thank you. Praise be to Michael Vsauce Elden Ring.
I mean, but can it?
Fun fact: if you go to Fia's location underground and beat Fia's champion you can skip the draconic tree sentinel by going through the portal. Which technically means you can beat the game without ever entering altus platau
But... why?
@@tulokthebarbrarian2033 Altus sucks
@@tulokthebarbrarian2033 Idk why they put it in, especially since you still need 2 great runes but it allows for the most cursed run ever of only defeating mohg and rykard, (rykard through the iron virgin in raya lucaria and mohg through Varre's quest) then going to lyndell through that portal near fia, and then bolting it to finish the game
@@mmaaoorrwhy not use rya quest to reach volcano manor?
@@Manu-ik6xy because that way you still go to altus normally
Fun Fact: Most of the Gravity Spells do physical damage alongside magic damage meaning that they can be boosted by spells like Flame, Grant Me Strength as well as Consumables like the Bloodboil Aromatic. The Blue Dancer Charm also works with them due to this reason.
P.S. This run would've been extremely easy (even more than it already was) with the Night Comet and the Staff of Loss and heck, the Death's Poker would've made this entire run into a joke so I'm kind of glad you didn't use them. Also, I'm hoping you'll finally give Burn, O Flame! a chance in the "Leveling Faith ONLY In Elden Ring" run.
Oh i know this is why Sephiroth had to get sexy to beat Malenia
Hey, a little tip while you're picking up a bunch of items like at the Caelid Chairs or graveyards, if you block it skips that little pick up animation which speeds it up a little. Does it do much? No. But it *feels* like it does a lot, which is what's really important let's be honest
That is such a niche piece of info I will absolutely forget about haha
For those unaware: Use the magic gravity rocks from a distance. Tracking increases as you get farther from the enemy, and they clump up together
As long as your target isn't a giant woman who can't move*
@@tulokthebarbrarian2033 im just gonna claim it is a strat. head mistress happens to know the exact weakeness of this one spell and is exploting the hell out of it. she really knows how to get the rocks off.... of her.
you should do just a normal run where you have fun for a little bit and we dont have to watch u suffer and everything is ok for a little awhile
Bloodhound Knight run coming soon
This actually made me laugh super hard
Yea or just add some vigor to these builds
@@relevation0 This is a challenge run, not a build. That would defeat the purpose by solving the problems.
No
21:00 "Would've been useful to have crucible knot talisman" A sentence literally no one has ever used
Hey, we wouldn't have died!
A brutal run. Especially with only Intelligence.
Eh, weirdly not that bad honestly
Honestly, I'm impressed that it ended up being higher than Dex and Str. Makes me wonder about Faith, since not only does it have a wider range of decent spell options, it also has weapons.
Not... great weapons, at least for the end of the game. But it has weapons.
I think with Talismans I could get Blasphemous Blade working...
Hmmm...looking at it, you're right. There's definitely the possibility to make that work, especially two-handing it.
That does mean beating Rykard... but it's not weapon-locked, so Serpent Hunter is on the table.
Int op, needs nerf
I enjoy the psychic damage small health bars spread.
Gotta get the 40 or you're gonna be hurting
Great thing about moonlight Greatsword is it scales off intelligence but doesn't require a lot of mind since you're using the R2 Heavy attacks
As much as you're actually really good and experienced at ER I like how you include the humbling deaths in these challenge runs with reactions. Keeping it real. We feel the pain as well
I'm ok, but these are best because I'm such an average player haha
You didn't fight Rykard here, but I remember you complained because the earthquake on other runs, you can just use the serpent hunter spear (or any decent shield) to block the quake. It will eat your stamina but is a guarantee, the serpent usually give you time to recover after, but some times it just combo and you're F.
I mean, that also sucks
Carian Slicer is my favorite spell. It’s a) actually good and b) melee magic so… yeah, it’s fun.
Carian slicer is my #1 bestie
The only problem with Carian slicer is that It doesn’t have high stance pressure.
If you pull the lever in the liftside chamber site of grace in Stormveil, you can skip the birds
OR you can just run past them
Just a little tip: you're much better at this game then I am and I have no advice. Carry on!
Just a little tip: keep practicing, the more you play, the better you get and the more fun the game gets! (As long as you don't do a bunch of silly mistakes)
I really really hope this pattern of sponsors for every video continues. You deserve it, and it’s been super fun to see your videos only become even funnier and more insane one over time :)) I’m glad that Opera GX agrees your channel is worth paying attention to
Thank you, we're doing our best!
@@tulokthebarbrarian2033 Me when tulok replies and my ego goes through the ROOF
Quick I gotta take the opportunity to ask something uhhhh what challenge run should I do, I’ve done a bunch of one spell type-only runs
Do a run with your feet we need a foot cam for research

Hey Phil (and Cory, hello Cory), this has nothing to do with this video, but I wanted to thank you guys for making so many videos. I beat the godskin duo on my first try, and I attribute that entirely to watching so many of your guys’ videos! So thanks Phil for, among being very funny and keeping the runs entertaining, fighting that bs fight so much! And thanks Cory for you’re editing which helps keeps the videos tight and, ya know, also funny. You guys really are a great team!
I saw someone else do this. It seemed pretty fun. Shield only please. I want to know how you like it.
Eh... idk, SO many other people have done them.
@@tulokthebarbrarian2033 you could make it more interesting by limiting yourself to smaller shields (so it doesnt just become a guard counter build)
Every I Think You Should Leave reference deepens my love for these videos by an order of magnitude
I think YOU should stay :)
Flashbacks to Alice helping with the red doggo.
Oof, I remember that
5:04 "a shotgun of squirrels" that's certainly a line right there, almost choked on my coffee
It would be too OP i get it
Sheldon may be young, but he'll die like like his shows if he doesnt get vigor.
Love these man!
I think both his shows are doing great!
@@tulokthebarbrarian2033 fair enough. Fun fact, I have a poster of him in my room from when I was little lol
I´m sure someone will already have mentioned it - but just to be sure: In the academy, you don´t have to roll the big ball AT ALL. There is a safe spot to the right. You run there, wait a moment, then runn through. It´s just about angle of incidence and reflection. So pool billiard, basically. Once you stop panicing it is super easy. Also, there is usually a message at the exact location of the safe spot. Cheers ! PS: Never forget jump attacks and most AoW are non-parriable, and Moongrums shield kinda sucks. The rocksling should have been able to easily guardbreak him, for example.
Can sheldon use his theoretical physics degree to help make the swag jump to safety first try? No of course not thats real physics bazinga
Of course, he's jumping all the way to the emmies
For the Red Wolf, instead of summoning, you can pick up Comet in the area nearby the boss arena. Hits hard and you should have enough stats to equip it.
I absolutely love the jokes you make through your videos
Thank you :)
watching on the computer for the first time, I am actually am able to subscribe now. Get me OUT of the 60.2%
Hell yeah
I tend to hide behind greatshield soldiers when I play a spellcaster. They effectively tarpit just about anything that doesn't have high damage AOEs while I throw spells at it.
I'm glad you're using ITYSL season 3 clips already.
I'm just so proud of that season that HE built
Renalla's staff's weapon art is shockingly good if you ever use it again, fun lil fact.
This vid was a delight!
Spinny staff! Does that scale with int?
@@tulokthebarbrarian2033 I think so, my big brain mage used it and it went brrr pretty severely. Especially on human sized enemies, it doesn't break their stance but it staggers them pretty nice
The king is back let’s go
In a way, I never left
16:30 he is actually not a mandatory fight, I even missed him on my first playthrough somehow
How did you get in lyndell?
@@FBILink The portal next to Fia in Deeproot Depths. Just need 2 great runes to use it, and it bypasses DTS.
@@blackhat4206 I'll try it out on my next run thanks for the Info.
Tbh I rarely go to deeproot depths
@FBILink You're welcome. You'll still have to beat Fia's Champs first, not to mention Valiant Gargoyles, so DTS is honestly probably the easier path. Either way, have fun.
Honestly as a dex/int sort of guy (Though Dex/Faith in elden ring) I kinda love the playstyle. Nothing comes for granted. Cast at the wrong time? Boss' got a twelve hit insta kill with your name on it. Yet it you play perfect bosses feal like they're easy. Also, your staying too far away. Boss ai is designed to punish that, its better to stay somewhat close and only get distance when your using a big spell. Godfrey shade is actually a good example. For rock sling at its slowest, Stay about an axe and a half away 9 times out of 10 he'll just swing twice and you'll still be safe
Great run sir been watching these for a while. Love seeing mage runs with rock sling being used, then I like to mention a meta with it that some may not know. If rock sling is cast with a staff that is in your left hand it will have nearly infinite range, if you can lock on then at least one rock will hit, the closer you are the more rocks hit obviously. I use this trick mainly on the rune farming bird in Mohgwyn Palace, I don’t use a bow.
Oh wild, lefties stay winning I guess
12:09 "How are you missing her?"
i ask myself that every day phillip.
I did 2 speed runs just for fun, and the spiral spell absolutely melts big body sturdy boys
That Tim Robinson quote at 3:20 👌
Can you do a run as tim robinson? I'm sure you could figure out how to do it. Probably involving tables?
Tables is Patti Harrison run. Tim can't hear no nothing more about no tables
@@tulokthebarbrarian2033 I'm sure you'd figure it out. Just don't work over lunch while doing so. You can't skip lunch.
10/10 video as always king, hope you're having a lovely day ❤
Thanks, I got to get some coffee with Cory, that was nice
"Hey Godwyn; Bazinga!" *Tiche is stabbing him in the back with the Death Rune, a classic bazinga*
It's funny because everyone seems to agree Godwyn was a pretty decent guy too.
I feel like Carian Piercer is rly underrated and I never see anyone use it, even though there is a lot of practical applications for it, esp on enemies with janky hitboxes. Hell, there were a lot of sword sorceries I feel could've been p fun to use in certain situations. Though I will admit, that is my opinion; not gonna assert it's the best way to play, but it would've been cool if you gave more of the INT only spells a shot. Still enjoyed the vid regardless
But slicer? What else do we need?
Dude I love all the "I think you should leave references" absolute banger content
Best show
@@tulokthebarbrarian2033 agreed
11:34 I’m surprised you didn’t try moon veil. It helped me when I did a “samurai dex build”
But if we're close, we can just use the slicer, and while I don't like spells: Slicer goes brrrr
LETS GOOOOO!!!!! I actually just wait between your uploads
Hey, there's a whole Playlist you can binge if you miss me that much
you probably thought about this, but there are a lot of Int weapons in the game, and by using radagons soreseal and either the dex talisman or the millicent prothesis you can weild the moonviel for weapon gameplay in this int only run
Yeah, I just don't want to be close. And if I am close? Slicer
I think the reason why you were missing Ranala so much was because you were too close to her with some casts. The rocks are really dumb owed to the fact that they're rocks, so high IQ actions like "changing direction" or "moving down" takes them a while. Usually the further away you are the better the chance you'll get all 3 rocks hitting the same stationary or slow moving target.
Great run as usual. Generally shard spiral works a little better when you don’t charge it and just chain cast it as many times as possible but it can feel a little underwhelming for all the hype
Radagon parrying the summon and just immediately launching a ranged attack at you was clean.
I hate that he looks cool, it makes it so much worse
Never enough ITYSL references
I need to make one for every burger, fry, shake, pizza, pepper, popper, coffee, soda and tacos
finally someone that does legit funny voiceovers!
You should do a faith only run, but starting with prisoner levels of faith and no armor because you believe your God will protect you
The best part of season 3 coming out it that we get them clipped for us in these vids
So true, we finally have new jokes :)
The bazinga after killing gostoc ended me 😂
Wow. Can I get a bazinga in the chat??
Bazinga
no
Bazinga
Your jokes always make my day somehow
Hey, watch 7 videos and I'll make your whole week
The Chandeliers fall where's fire on the ground, is the way of the game saying "don't step here or I'll get you"
Who has time to look at that?
For maliketh I found that if you roll when you enter you have more time I think it is because if you are still he comes running
I think the bats are intelligent, because they can sing
Yeah, but they're pitchy
0:32 i got whip lash
Iirc the Full Moon spells ABSORB Elden Stars, completely removing it from the fight before it becomes an issue, so in thus case it would be better than Thops Barrier as you didn't have the stamina. However this does require you to time it so that the spell attaction of Ranni's Dark Moon is active at the same time as Elden Stars.
Also I think that a Nidoking run would be a fun one, Nidoking has a crazy expansive movepool to pull from. Sure there might be a little overlap with Charizard, but here's a small sample of the things that you'd be able to use:
1. Rotten Breath (Toxic/Sludge Wave)
2. Dragonfire (Flamethrower)
3. Aspect of the Curcible: Horns (most of its Horn attacks)
4. Aspext of the Crucible: Tail (Iron Tail)
5. Zamor Ice Storm (Blizzard)
6. AoW: Earthshaker (Earthquake/Earth Power)
7. AoW: Horrah Loux's Earthshaker (Earthquake/Earth Power)
8. Winged Greathorn (horn based attacks)
9. Marias Executioner's Sword/Regalia of Eochaid (Horn Drill)
10. Rock Sling
11. Stone of Gurranq
12. Beast Claw
13. Giantsflame Take Thee! (Fire Blast)
14. Fist weapons in Cold, Fire and Lightning Affinities (Elemental Punches)
15. Dragonice (Blizzard)
16. AoW Vow of the Indomitable (Protect)
Im sure that there are other options that i didn't mention, but this should give you ab idea on how flexible this could be. However the armor is going to be an issue as i have no ideas there.
my favourite sidearm for this kind of build is st. trinas blade. great crowd control. needs 12 dex tho
So, you probably asked it rhetorically, but the beast torch not working on the bats is kind of a theory I've been teasing since I put down the game. I imagine they don't fear the beast torch because despite their beastlike appearance they're not actually beasts. Much like the beastmen of Farum Azula they are an entire, intelligent race of people who share beastlike qualities but are advanced enough to not lost heart against the repellent! They, like the beastment, have an entire language and sing and speak and seem to have some sort of culture (that never really gets dived into in the game unfortunately.)
I know they're not beasts. They just SHOULD be
Time for Slicer!
Can't stop won't stop
How about a Hornet run in honor of Silksong’s delay. A “we’ve got Silksong at home” run, if you will.
We'll do hornet when Silksong comes out... hopefully I'm still good at the game when I'm 64
@@tulokthebarbrarian2033thanks for the reply. I’ve really been enjoying your videos. Looking forward to a Hornet run whenever you get to it.
That entire Godfrey fight I was just waiting for the punchline involving Ranni mooning Godfrey... never came
Nice freezepop reference
Of course, we don't miss here
Another banger, as always!
We do our best not to miss here
ALL THINGS CONSIDERED, thops barrier DOES do its job just....for actual builds, for anyone suggesting things remember how important stamina is lol
The Eternal Darkness spell works much better against Elden Stars than Thops's Barrier.
Comments for every other video "use thops barrier". I use thops barrier. "Why are you using thops barrier, you should use eternal darkness."

Thanks cori!

Dropping a video on a Thursday rather than a Friday? You spoil us.
We're maybe gonna make this the day we post!
Pro tip: If you ever struggle with moongrum, try parrying him, he has basic ai that normally means he walks up to you and r1s, parry as he does and he gets demolished
Yes - Thop's Barrier is good against Elden Stars in a No-Vigor-Run...
But then again a No-Vigor-Run is not necessarily a No-Endurance-And-No-Mind-Run I guess 🤔
Ok, so it work for Endurance only but we don't have int for it, it would work for mind only but we don't have the int or endurance for it, so other than not working for any of these runs, you're totally right.
@@tulokthebarbrarian2033 Well, I guess that's fair to point out
In a run like one of these, one could only make it work on the Endurance run with one of Marika's talismans, Stargazer Heirloom or with the Cat Imp Head equiped
Godricks Great Rune would also help
It would still feel, like forcing it to work, out of pure stubbornness 😁

To this legendary Channel so i Hit myself in the head and pressed the Button with the bell activated:)
if you run on the right side of the boulder stairs the boulder never really goes there except for a few points so its a free way up to rennala’s boss room
If you press circle once you roll under it
Wait dexterity increases your casting speed. I didn't know that. Well, at least you held to my run before I got to end the game
ㅌwhen you said intelligence it sounded OP af but then as soon as j saw sheldon i couldn't help but think how stupid being only intelligent is. Imagine sheldon cooper in the landsbetween
You don't have to roll on the ball stairs in Raya Lucaria!
You can run to the far right side, continue upward until the ball bounces against the railing, then run the rest of the way safely. You can easily get through the door just before the next ball drops!
Or, I can press circle one time
@@tulokthebarbrarian2033 understandable, i just suck at video games
You can get somber 7 earlier by going to Dung Eater’s cell, the hands out front drop them, I’m pretty sure the big one is a guaranteed drop.

@11:07 I'm in the back seat and I can't help myself. If you run up the right side, the giant ball of hurt totally misses you. The end. Love your vids

Hey, its been a few weeks, can monster hunter carve a path through the lands between?
Isn't that just a different game?
Ffs, USE THE NIGHT COMET! It's BY FAR the best projectile spell in the game. To get it you just have to run around Sellia a bit lighting the fires until they remove the magic wall in the center of town that block it. The Staff of Loss (found in the same place so no detours needed) also provides a huge boost to Night Comet's damage (more than the Jellyfish shield) making it one of the most damaging spells in the game, it casts faster than the rocks, you can chain-cast it and enemies don't react to it being cast (if I remember correctly, it also doesn't get parried by Radagon). It is functionally the Carian Blender but ranged. It is so good it carried me on my ever playthrough against Malenia.
Love having it confirmed that a magic build will literally never be high tier just because “ehh I don’t like spells”
Quick question:
Since it's not like the game has a built-in death counter and you have to manually count deaths anyway, why do you count deaths to fall damage against the build?
Because I died haha
Golden Vow works on sorcery and incantations
There already is a Squirrl Girl build, it is "Let me Solo Her".
He is unbeatable i suppose
What is going for a snack break while Melania gets Solo'd but an off panel epic fight?
With Rennala being so painful, maybe the play was to do the first volcano assassination for Magma Shot. Just cheat and deal fire damage
