Here's my theory as to why the Regal Ancestor got killed the 2nd time but not the first: Okay, so we have two things here. If it's standing in water, any kind of water, that's a 10% fire resistance.

Thanks so much for the effort on both the gameplay and videomaking!!

[@rickiej88]

This is insane. Makes me completely re-evaluate how I'm playing elden ring.

The editing in these is very good and appreciated. Especially the added text and images to help keep track. And I honestly liked that he kept explaining what he had to do, for his own sake I'm sure, but I always got confused at the buffing in ymfah videos.

[@joshuapatrick682]

Interesting that you can cure scarlet rot since it’s such a huge plot point in the game about it not being curable…

[@oneeyedbelgiumratboy2607]

I think it's just one of those things in game that works different mechanically than it does lore wise besides the people we see afflicted with scarlet rot could be more advanced then when we get affected by it their version could be terminal and all they can do is stage it off with needles of unalloyed gold

[@lanster77schannel]

You cure Millicent of scarlet rot in Gowrys questline

[@JubioHDX]

Thats one of those things thats cool from a lore perspective but from a gameplay perspective would just ruin the fun if you couldnt fix the debuff. Imagine getting rotted, living, going to rest at a grace and save, then getting back up and realizing your health is still draining. I dont think id even finish the game just out of spite💀

[@daltonmallett1536]

Excellent run, I'd definitely call the Radagon thing a phase 2 so I'd say you did it. Super entertaining as usual, really glad I found your channel.

[@AgeofJP]

the only criticism I had was that the bewitching branch for Niall didn't feel right or necessary...mainly because the sword soldier did respectable damage to Niall, but also because he only needed to survive after the first hit and Niall would phase transition anyway and despawn the knights. Maybe all he needed to do was use knights resolve before entering the fog but I don't know if it would run out before reaching Niall

[@Picmanreborn]

@@AgeofJP my only argument against that would be he did more than enough damage to make up for the knight. And since it wasn't HIS summon he should be fine since he didn't directly do any damage

[@MoonPatch]

​@@Picmanreborn The first part's valid, but the argument that just because it wasn't his summon it's fine is a little shaky at best. Since by that logic any enemies with friendly fire enabled are fair game to just pit against each other until they're at 1 hp for you to 'one shot', which I think is pretty majorly against the spirit of the challenge.

[@biggiecheese2004]

@@MoonPatch id say it's fine because he would have clearly done WAY more than enough damage if he got the chance for two clean hits, the soldiers were just fucking it up

[@MoonPatch]

@@biggiecheese2004 Like I said, that part of the argument is perfectly valid, I'm not gonna say the run is null and void because of something silly like that. Just agreeing with the guy saying that it was a kinda unnecessary exception to make.

This is a list of everything that I used in the video. I did not use all of these in every fight, but I did use all of them at 1 or more points in the run. Buffs from the same category do not stack with each other, except for the unique category, unique buffs stack with everything always. weapon: Giant Crusher, Lusat's staff with Comet Azur weapon buffs: Determination and Royal Knights Resolve body buffs: Exalted Flesh, Bloodboil Aromatic, Flame Grant me Strength aura buffs: Golden vow ash of war, Golden Vow incantation, Rallying standard (commander's standard) Shield buffs: contagious fury (jellyfish shield) Unique buffs: faith-knot crystal tear, strength-knot crystal tear, spiked cracked tear, magic-shrouding cracked tear, flame-shrouding cracked tear, terra magica Talismans: Radagon's Soreseal, starscourge heirloom, two fingers heirloom, axe talisman, magic scorpion charm, fire scorpion charm, red-feathered branch sword, ritual sword talisman, kindred of rot exultation, lord of blood's exultation. armor with special effects: black dumpling, white mask, mushroom crown

bruh its crazy to think elden ring came out in 2022 like it feels like its been there since 2021

[@primetimeforcrime]

This is the reason I decided to finally play elden ring, thank you so much. I'm already 40 hours in with astel, Margit, godrick, renala, Redhan and all of rannis questline done. I wouldn't have started this amazing journey if I hadn't seen this stupidly funny video. Edit: I beat the elden beast and am now into my second playthrough.

[@zerohour7634]

I’m gonna be honest, this was the most satisfying Elden Ring video I’ve watched so far. This shows how much replay ability this game has and how much fun you can have with almost infinity at the palm of your hand. GG bro

To this day I wonder how happens that I found both Maliketh and Godskin Duo relatively easy when all of community hates them... I did had issues with Godskin duo in spiritcaller dungeon tho

[@hellogoodbye3786]

@David Kunakovsky same here dude! Unpopular opinion but i actually enjoyed the godsken duo. What i did, maybe u did too, was aggro the noble and the apostle just hung back and threw fireballs every now and then so i pretty just fought them by themselves (no sleep pots).

[@davidkunakovsky3155]

@@hellogoodbye3786 yeah also sleep pots. Actually what I did tho I killed Apostle while my mimic tanked fatman. (I normally focus faster enemy first). Once he was dead then dealing with noble 1 vs 1 wasnt the easiest thing, but also not as complicated as many make it out to be. Took me 2-3 times only

[@XXXTENTAClON227]

@@davidkunakovsky3155 depends what you did and what level you are, same for every boss Every single fight in the game is easy with the right build. Having a mimic tear or summon makes it incomparable too as there is no alternative target for the boss when solo

[@alterworlds1629]

Impressive dedication and management of these setups. I could never stomach such setup times. As little setup as possible for my builds thank you very much.

[@justsomejerseydevilwithint4606]

I feel like this is like that time in the one dragonball movie where, to beat a super namekian, piccolo lets himself get grabbed and nearly crushed, then rips his own ears off, and tells gohan to whistle. That's what this build is.

[@a_mega_pint1792]

The buffing up in the correct order without forgetting anything and not letting the buffs run out was probably the hardest part about this run. I wonder how many failed tries you had that you cut out for the video :) Really great stuff!

[@TheBefrost]

Very fun to see! But not so good to play, in my opinion. Just for fun.

[@accel4481]

You can just from the timer how hard this was

[@Legoguy9875]

Honestly, I don't even care how you ended up doing it in the end. I just find it so amazing that with the right knowledge of the game's mechanics and different item synergies, you can trivialize even the final two bosses of the game with a single attack (even if it would realistically take more time to set up than it would to just beat them legit lol)

[@SpydersByte]

yea, it amazes me that From has managed to fill this game with so many items and talismans, weapons, weapon arts, perfumes, spells, ect that make runs like this even possible in the first place

[@superstar5042]

Godfry after getting killed: "Try strength befits a crown" That's the best explanation of this run

[@CaptainProx]

Radegon definitely has a phase change even if it’s not by the definition you’ve been going by. He gets much more aggressive after half health

[@WhispaOW]

That is basically every single boss lmao, all of them get more aggressive and unlock new moves and attacks

[@AnonymousInternetUserLaine]

Another thing he could have done was equip the Twinbird Kite Shield which gives the low hp% damage buff while also allowing you to two-hand the giant's crusher unlike the jellyfish shield

[@MrLegendseeka]

I know it's a year later but I consider Elden Beast going into a 2nd phase when he does the triple halo. He's capable of doing the standard single halo move all the way through the fight but if you consider a phase change being either an increase of power or a change up of moveset, I'd definitely say Elden Beast has two phases. Also not 100% sure but isn't that hand star launcher thing he does only a move that happens after half his health is gone?

He didnt mean moveset changes more so one of the big one off moves like the radahn meteor or Nihil for mohg
