I mean... Isn't that all souls games?

[@bastionunitb7388]

@@thesandmoose765 I mean yeah they're far more tactical then other games in their genre because of the slower pace but you can normally just brute force your way through an encounter. Technically you could punch every boss to death with your bare hands but adding the whole one shot per phase rule forces you to maximize your damage in every way possible.

[@JakeFSF]

the craziest thing ab these videos that I love, is that theres SO MANY weird items that you can find to buff stuff. Seeing how far you can push the limits is just very interesting to me and I learn a lot ab stuff I never would have other than from watching these types of vids.

Every time I watch one of these challenge videos I get the urge to play more Elden Ring. I don't have the patience for challenge runs like this, but I have started doing something a lot easier, picking a random-ish weapon, trying to get it as soon as possible, and then beat the entire game from that point on with just that. The point is, love your vids, and they make me appreciate the game even more than I already did

[@RemingtonSteel]

I do something similar. I use a different weapon for each area. That's hard for me tho because I want to swap weapons so much. I messed up half of my first playthrough because I used my smithing stones on random weapons to see if they were good. I didn't know smithing 5+ aren't infinite until later in the game so I had a bunch of +13 weapons

45:02 I don't think I've ever seen someone completely destroy Fortisax like that,what the heck was that damage?!

[@MrEvan312]

Forti has 40% fire resistance too! However, oil pots buff one instance of fire damage by 50%. His head is a weak point that allows double damage: Bushy's shot narrowly managed to connect with the head. Together with all of Bushy's buffs, he overshot Forti's healtbar by over 1000 points. If had hadn't hit Forti right in the face I think he "only" would've done about 6500 damage which is a lot but not enough to kill him instantly.

Honestly, shields are kinda cracked. Remember watching Gino do a shields run, and it kinda wrecked a lot of bosses. Admittedly he is Gino, so might not be quite as broken for the average player, but could definitely see Bushy killing it

It is insane how many ways there are to bend this game over your knee. Bushy just playing around, but the vast knowledge he can coordinate to make this sort of crazy run possible (not just beat, but to go for one-shot!!) is so impressive.

4:42 "the hardest being" is the goddamn understatement of the century. anyone who's tried that skip knows how difficult and downright infuriating it is

[@brennanperry8001]

My favorite part of bushy's elden ring videos is when he runs into Moongrum, because he either gets absolutely dunked on, or does some wacky junk.

[@bellsthemango]

GG bushy! this was a fun run to watch on stream and very impressive to see how much effort, strategy/critical thinking, and game knowledge you used to complete this challenge! the hoarah loux win after all those attempts was such a highlight. that and the flame of frenzy screaming lol

[@xmgaming2444]

This has me wondering, what's the minimum number of attacks needed to beat the entire game? Like, say you find a weapon/spell that one shots everything, how many times do you need to actually use it in order to get from character creation to credits?

[@RemingtonSteel]

Good idea

[@Soklay16]

I know the any% speedrun is already very few attacks. I feel like it's however many one-shots you need to kill the remembrance bosses, plus any enemies guarding them.

[@MrEvan312]

Well going by Bushy's main one-shot challenge it was: 1 for a scarab to get Determination 1 for a Death Rite Bird to get Red-feathered Branchsword 1 for a Godrick Knight to get Golden Vow 1 for an indeterminate number of Land Octopuses to get ingredients for Bloodboil Aromatic (assuming he killed one for each time he needed a a blood boil I think that’d add maybe 5-6 attacks) 1 for an indeterminate number of First-gen Albinaurics to get the Black Dumpling helmet (drop rate is only 0.5% which means he probably had to kill a lot of them let’s assume 10) 1 for Margit 2 for Godrick, once per phase You can choose another shardbearer, but Radahn only needs two hits while for Renalla you need to hit her dog, then hit at least three of her scholars and THEN hit her twice. 1 for a Rotten Avatar to get the Flame tear 1 for the Regal Ancestor Spirit 1 for the Mimic Tear 2 for the Valiant Gargoyles 5 for Fia’s Champions 1 for Golden Shade Godfrey 2 for Morgott 2 for the Kindred of Exultation kindreds 1 for the Lord of Blood’s Exultation NPC 3 for Niall and his ads 1 for the Nameless White Mask NPC 3 for Fire Giant 3 for Godskin Duo 2 for Maliketh 1 for Gideon 1 for O’Niel 2 for Godfrey 2 for the Academy Crystal Cave crystallizes to get Terra Magica 2 for the Nox swordstress and monk to get Lusat’s staff 1 for the Putrid Tree Spirit to get the Cerulean Hidden Tear 2 for Radagon 1 for Elden Beast (using Comet Azur) So, give or take, it’d take 60-65 individual attacks to beat Elden Ring. Challenge run idea: Beat Elden Ring in less than 69 attacks (you go over you restart the whole game)

[@painfullyavarage4316]

If you want another shield related challenge, you should do a law of causality only run (blocking an attack counts as a hit). I tried and killed margit and decided my sanity was worth more than a challenge run. Fire giant is probably impossible but it would be cool to try

[@unclaimedusername6608]

8:03 and this, my friends, is why you don't use the visage shield against anything that can riposte. Learned that the hard way on my "Shield Goblin" build.

[@thomasrudkins2704]

Isn't technically hitting one damage with the oil/sleep pots technically make it a 2 hits Just a small detail I noticed

[@coffeecrispy2673]

He mentioned that in the stonedigger run, he said something like "be sure to comment ´invalid run´"

[@NovaJR9]

It does one damage

[@caitnostamas2040]

The only thing I'm not sure you tried is the tear for the wonderous physick that ups poise damage for 30 seconds. That would make at least Radagon possible by getting a stance break relatively early. Might've helped with Astel too!

Wouldn't cold-bleed on the palisade shield be a better option for a few bosses? The extra 10% overall damage with other buffs would, maybe, just maybe, allow a boss IE Niall, to be oneshotted

[@lucaslennan3356]

If I had to guess; the lower AR would be MUCH more significant than a single tick of bleed. Status infusions just cut your damage a lot.
