Can I Beat Elden Ring Using ONLY Rings?

[@BrilliantStupidity]

Minor correction - at 10:52 I upgraded the Ringed Finger to +6, not +7. Also, don't forget to try Asphalt Legends Unite! gmlft.co/brilliantstupidity

“Somebody on the dev team has a thing for feet” Brother that’s been the case for years

[@BrilliantStupidity]

Considering an "Elden Ring as Miyazaki Intended" run where I'm RL1, can only use kick attacks, and can't wear any shoes. I'd rush Mohg, kill him... somehow, grab the dry leaf arts and only use the kick attacks. Iirc, only the sprinting and jumping heavies when using it with both hands, but also the charged heavy when using it with one

[@nj2063]

It would be awesome to see a literal “broken” build where you can only use weapons, armor and items that are physically broken (Fingerprint armor, scavenger’s curved sword, omen bairn), which could also make for a fun title of “Beating Elden Ring with a literal “BROKEN” build”

I dont think scavengers curved sword is broken its just serrated

[@darthplagueis13]

If you ever decide to suffer this run through the DLC, I suggest picking up the armour of Night. Does it have "ring" in the name? No Is it made from rings? No Is there anything even remotely ring-shaped about it? No BUT: If you look at it for but a moment, you will realize it truly befits a lord of rings.

This would be the Sauron set, methinks.

There are few things as satisfying as watching someone who you enjoy watching play other games, play elden ring, and then proceed to get their shit kicked in at every opportunity. I'm looking forward to seeing more of this should you decide to make them, Elden Ring is fun to watch and even more fun to play

[@Gildorify]

Nice branch out dude. Your humour and antics works for this type of gameplay/content too, so well done!

[@phntmthf5505]

I would absolutely love to see you do the DLC with this challenge. I would also personally argue that other armors with chainmail as part of them or that depict rings would be okay to use.

[@oa7598]

Malenia is definitely my favourite boss - the way shes more humanoid and similar size to the tarnished, and her one handing a katana makes it feel like a real duel and I love it.

[@Ron_Jambo_]

She is twice the size of the Tarnished tho

[@SohighShyloh]

15:30 for you and any newer player, never ever no matter what ever dodge backwards from a thrust attack. Guaranteed death. Always forward or to the side (depending)

[@Lolzcomz]

@@SohighShyloh I scrolled through the contents to see if someone else said it! It’s been bugging me the rest of the video knowing he is making it harder on himself 🤣

[@purpleman8981]

I'm honestly surprised that you found malenia more fun that radagon, respect honestly

[@ragedgrunt]

you've probably learned this after that rough experience, but if an enemy does a running at you attack, it's safer to roll straight through it and pretend it's not there than to roll away from it repeatedly, fuckin amazing challenge though, loved how your warhammer slipped through when you said you reached "rank 89" lol

[@jensletsslay]

Dude, your commentary is off the charts! Seriously the most entertaining Elden ring challenge run I've seen in quite a while!!

[@Sunny_Haven]

Thought at first you were calling talismans "rings" as that's what they are in the Dark Souls games and thought "that doesn't sound right for Elden Ring". Completely different challenge idea than what I was thinking but I'm not complaining, haha

[@merfozzsla]

I'm never gonna get tired of people coming up with fun ideas for this game. It has a lot of space for creativity and it's awesome.

[@lordofacoustics1167]

Gotta be one of the funnier and more creative challenge runs of elden ring I’ve seen. Great work mate

[@strogonoffcore]

next challenge: beat Dark Souls using only the dark! it's easier to do that on DS2, given you can meet a merchant that sells hexes quite easily, just gotta make a boss fall into its death, level up some intelligence and faith, pay a scammer to open a gate (you could also make her fall into her death, but that would involve punching), and that's it

[@shimmereyes8984]

Yes, I like this, your style is enhanced by Elden Ring's inherently chaotic nature. Brilliant is evolving and becoming his best version

[@davidsousa4942]

If you go for the DLC, theres the weapon Thiollier's Hidden Needle. It is arguably the most fitting weapon for this challenge since it is really a ring. Quite the OP moveset as well.

[@GBlockbreaker]

"somebody on the dev team has a thing for feet" yeah, we know, it's Miyazaki

[@fabricioresmini1542]

the only thing that they could done whit malenia, since she is blind, is if you use the talisman that dont let you make a sound she could be lost and attacking blindly or only attacking if you touch her in some manner. That could be lore friendly and maybe quite intresting thing to have in the game

If you do another challenge run later I recommend the twiggy cracked tear. It is hiding at the bossless minor erdtree at altus in the same area as the three golems on the way to draconic tree sentinel. It lets you die without losing the runes on you and not on you. Really op

The ring incantations are so good, beat the whole game with them as Goldmask. Discus does a shocking amount of damage for only 3 fp, Radagon’s Rings obliterated Malenia for me, the new Repeating Ring is also so good against big targets.

[@fosterbennington6405]

Important to note, the moment you reached Altus you can trigger Corhyn to move there and tell him where the goldmask is, where he will sell discus of light immediately, I did this for my own ring run.
