All Bosses From Lowest Runes to Highest Runes in Order Randomized Stats Challenge in Elden Ring

[@tulokthebarbrarian2033]

Started from the bottom, now we... stay at the bottom for a long time

[@gdnowl]

I had this challenge run idea of only using weapons, items, armors, etc. that start with a specific letter. Interested in trying that kind of run? (With the exception of both flasks, items that heal poison & scarlet rot, Purifying Crystal Tear, and the Serpent-Hunter because screw Rykard)

[@adi47vash80]

​@@gdnowl or maybe something where each item you pick must be the alphabetically next one Maybe exclude the compulsory boss drops though

[@toastmaster914]

You did a normal run as a challenge run. Inspiring

[@joshtownsend8807]

I feel like this would still be cool but you'd be less miserable if you gave yourself advantage on the stat rolls

Oh man, the elation in chat when we finally got to the last few bosses and Phil could go wherever he wanted and had the stats to actually use decent weapons was amazing. We were all suffering together in these streams.

[@quanahlecornu478]

hate upon you for name dropping. I like my content anonymous. Now I have to contend with such a silly name while enjoying the entertainer.

[@WhydTheyChangeOurNames]

Video idea: taking the wackiest paths to beat the game. Example: fighting Rykard and Mohg for your 1st 2 shardbearers and then using the Fia's Champs teleporter to enter the capital. Just in general take the most counter intuitive path to complete the game possible

[@tulokthebarbrarian2033]

We kinda did that with the minimum bosses run: Radahn, Mohg, Tree Sentinel, Shade, Morgott, Fire Giant, Godskins, Maliketh, Gideon, Godfrey, Elden Beast

Being an open world game really was a blessing and a curse for Elden Ring I love that I can start almost any build at almost any time, but the amount of filler on top of that is just too much

I mean it's simple enough: just don't do it. Like, sometimes I have to, but most of the time you can just say no

[@Jim-Bagel]

​​@@tulokthebarbrarian2033 idk I feel like I'm not really good enough to just skip it cuz I end feeling under levled by time I have the build I want. And by then like the first third of all the filler ain't worth the runes so I'm kinda just doing the same altus/leyndell/dragonbarrow bs

[@velarswood]

​@MarzaButTube just saying if you time killing dragon greyoll when she's sleeping by ft hoight and run to the grace you get like 30k runes amd she won't die so you csn do it all again. Katana to the tail is the safest way.

[@zenebean]

Really agree with your point that Night's Cavalry goes from really fun and memorable to basic enemy just by sticking so many in the game. Runs like this show how diluted the fun got filling out the corners of the world

[@greyborg3846]

I don't know why but this just made me think that a mod where all of the basic enemies have been replaced with little chibi versions of the games bosses and all of the bosses have been replaced by giant mosnter versions of the basic enemies might be kind of funny. Probably wouldn't actually be very interesting for very long though. Just a random thought that popped into my head.

[@tulokthebarbrarian2033]

Yeah, you've fought a Night's Cavalry before. But what about- literally just another one. We changed nothing. Boop.

[@swampert564]

This is a major problem in Open-world games (to be fair Elden Ring is far better than most). I'll take a nice and tight 10 to 20 hour game over a huge but often repetitive game the vast majority of the time.

[@zenebean]

@swampert564 good point, games like breath of the wild have way less enemy diversity, though more dungeon diversity.

[@swampert564]

@@zenebean Breath and Tears are excellent too but I'd take the majority of the series over them most of the time. Both of them and Elden Ring are definitely games that give me hope for the future of Open-worlds though. Cory Barlog had a quote talking about God of War 2018 where he said "it's open but not open-world". I find that approach preferable, give me variety and options but it doesn't need to be epically scaled just for the sake of being large.

[@cecil937]

Honestly, the tangent on promiscuity versus polyamory was pretty good. I enjoyed listening to it, so I'm glad you left it in.

I enjoyed this run a lot. It was cool seeing every boss and how they stack up compared to others. I also really like seeing you use different weapons through out the run. the randomized stats part of the challenge actually seemed really fun. I think I might try it.

[@curvilinearcube8716]

Sure it may be a long way away but with random stats and so much fatigue from crawling your way up the ladder of bosses will you be able to make the swag jump to safety first try.

[@IncoisaRadio87]

You could mash so many mini-dungeons together in this game to form bigger dungeons... If you took out most of the tunnels, caves, catacombs, and yes some of the heroes graves in this game, and instead focused on making legacy dungeons out of: -Fringefolk Heroes Grave -Ruin Strewn Precipice -Sellia, Town of Sorcery (and Sellia Hideaway, which you could merge with the Funny Limgrave Trap Tunnel to be an entrance to greater Sellia) -the Shaded Castle -Castle Sol You'd have one optional dungeon for all 5 *Major* locations in the game, not counting the smaller sections of those areas like Consecrated Snowfield, Dragonbarrow, and Mt. Gelmir. Scatter the upgrade materials, and most of the items from the minidungeon or field bosses that they clearly didn't know what to do with in there, and all of a sudden most of the encounters would feel way more meaningful. If you're really struggling for room, give every area like 2 field bosses to fit in anything that can't be fit in a dungeon and isn't already a repeat boss or bulked-up enemy. Maybe have there be one *big* catacomb in Consecrated, like have that be Secret Path to the Haligtree. Or in Dragonbarrow. Give Dragonbarrow some reason to exist beyond housing bosses you can exploit for big runes early game and also Beast Clergyman. I understand redundancy, it's an open world AND a souls game, players are bound to miss shit, and you want them to have plenty of opportunities to get crucial stuff like smithing stones, spirit ashes, or glovewort. But come on, most of these just feel like the developers trying to find somewhere to put these items because there's nowhere in the massive overworld. And in my opinion, I think the playerbase would forgive them for making the overworld smaller in return for more classic souls-like dungeoncrawling for this stuff.

For the catacombs with the imps, I personally like using a medium shield and guard countering them after they bonk off the shield (once their poise runs out). It's one of the few spots guard countering is really good. Also for deathbirds and deathrite birds, Sacred Blade (Ash of War is in Limgrave so can get immediately) shreds them even if you don't have any faith.

Once again I‘ll bring up my dream of an all-killer-no-filler version of Elden Ring so no one gets baited into doing boring shit. I don’t mind field bosses like Night‘s Cavalries or Deathbirds that much as the thing that makes them feel the most repetitive is the boss health bar but most of the catacombs just aren’t interesting enough for the time one has to spend to complete them. Exploration is one of the most fun aspects in From games and even in my first playthrough I felt disincentivized to do it and that hasn’t happened in any of their other Soulsesque titles.
