Beating Elden Ring's DLC with ONLY Perfume

Rolling spark is definitely getting nerfed so use it while you can :) May revisit this run in the future if it gets changed.

I love the new editing style where you show a little bit of the run between bosses. Makes it more enjoyable than just boss after boss imo

[@QCmaxthebeast]

Yeah the story and progression of a run is just as interesting as the hard parts, aggy and Gino's both show all these little moments that really add a lot to their videos. I think editor don't realize I'm here for distortion and not just the run sometimes.

I miss the frenzied command grab one hits on Gideon. It was just so poetic for him to be ranting about tarnished being unable to become lords while you're grabbing his face and poring madness into it.

[@MainTopmastStaysail]

Not like you're missing out on a great fight by not cheesing him.

[@YokaiSteve]

@@MainTopmastStaysail Acting like you've never used bleed, sorcery, incantations or anything else strong.

[@MainTopmastStaysail]

@@YokaiSteve I'm not being sarcastic. Gideon is a bad fight so you're not missing anything by cheesing it like you would cheesing, say, Mohg.

[@SaHaRaSquad]

The game should allow critical/riposte hits with this, where your character just splashes the stuff right in their face.

[@user-vh3xg4tj7b]

Breaks the bottle on their head and instantly procs whatever affinity the bottle is 😎😎

[@B_Skizzle]

@@user-vh3xg4tj7bThat’s actually a fantastic idea.

[@echo.1209]

I think a critical hit move where it just blasts a stream of the perfume into the weak spot would be cool

[@pocketinfinity6733]

the riposte would just be the character smashing the bottles against the bosses face

HELL YEAH THIS IS WHAT IVE BEEN WAITING FOR...even without the busted build/ash of war these are such a cool weapon and move set. Its like the ability to use "magic" without costing mp which is awesome. I hope they dont nerf it to oblivion so that its still viable

[@grfrjiglstan]

My favorite tech with these things is to set a trap for an enemy that's charging at you, since it lingers for a while before detonating. Sunflower gets wrecked by this.

[@joshuatealeaves]

Lucy James name checked you in a video recently saying she can’t wait to watch you do runs like this. It’s so cool having her nerd out with us. We love watching you play this game

[@jameslockie7242]

Probably the strongest weapon in the game right now...

[@distortion2]

If you use the broken thing yes, I do kind of want to revisit this run in the future once they presumably fix the buggy interaction.

[@anormalhumanhopefully8570]

The strongest ash of war*

[@binhvan4893]

The weapon itself is literally a pure elemental dagger with delayed damage.

[@ISAACcookie]

Only the rolling sparks ash is OP. I did my first DLC run with these and the weapons themselves are very mediocre; low range, long recovery frames and almost no poise damage.

[@binhvan4893]

@@ISAACcookie Fr, they seriously need a balance patch. Although dealing pure damage is pretty neat. But in most cases, you can barely hit anything due to the range. Also pray that whatever you are fighting doesnt have back step in middle of their combo.

[@poppyfrancis7338]

Ngl, if they jusb nerf the damage to a reasonable level and make the rolling sparks explosions still activate one after another even if they hit the floor or walls it'd still be pretty fun without being unreasonable

[@slothorne8222]

Sadly the perfumed still end up sucking it you don’t abuse the ash of war, but at least they’re kinda cool looking. Trying to play without ash of war and it is miserable

[@fishnutz5196]

​@@slothorne8222aow deffinately ramps them up but the broken damage comes from a bug where you shoot the ground unlocked to the enemy so it detonates all explosions at once. This is a bug and will get fixed. So i hope they bump the damage a bit cause right now they are daggers with slight delay on their damage

[@LoverofTragedy]

@@slothorne8222 Ngl, that's 100% a skill thing. I've been doing the whole game with a Perfumer build, and they are consistently wrecking every enemy that staggers, and pretty easily destroying any enemy with poise. The only thing they struggle against are enemies with high pure resistance to all elements. Even without the ash, it's doing wild damage on normal attacks.

[@slothorne8222]

@@LoverofTragedy playing the game with literally anything else will do more damage, my whip run was better than this. I mean if you want them to stay horrible that’s cool I guess but once the ash gets fixed guarantee no one is using these without a buff

@@slothorne8222 I don't really know what you're trying to say, but whips are great as well. Outside of great damage, they can literally cheese Malenia. Haven't used them on DLC bosses though.

the biggest problem outside the range issue is until fully upgraded and at full build they don't do much so much of their dmg comes from the scaling side
