[@thejarlatan1006]

@@VoidsEclipse So many people pass it up. Sad really.

[@archbishopofthecrusades9579]

@@VoidsEclipse I disagree. Yes, the older games had a similar amount of gear but half of it was obsolete to a starting straight sword. In PvP or first time playthroughs you constantly see the same weapons and builds, I’m guilty of it too if I can get it I use the black Knight glaive the entire game, while in Elden Ring the build variety is crazy because many of these things are completely viable, I mean sure there’s very few builds using inky bows but there are many builds incorporating different tools, craft ales, and uncommon weapons like bows and whips than in the previous games. In all three DS games I can count the number of times I’ve used, and seen used, firebombs. While in ER it can be a fight game changer rather than a forgettable tool for specific situations.

[@returntomonke2116]

[@chuckmastacheese]

I love the free aim bombs. Once you get this down, it's so satisfying to land pots and stones from long distance. It's a huge benefit in PvP also. Not only can you land these from a distance the other player does not expect, but you can predict toss them for roll catches. I highly recommend anyone to practice this tactic.

[@KatyaAbc575]

Quite easily doable with Mouse and Keyboard. But looks like Bushy is playing with a Controller.

[@chuckmastacheese]

@@KatyaAbc575 Easy with controller also, once you get the technique down. One way to practice is to lock onto an enemy that is far away, take a small step towards them (so you are now pointing directly at them) unlock, look up and throw. Not you just have to get the amount you look up dialed in, depending on their distance. You can throw pots from a surprising distance, especially from high up.

Dude, I'm addicted to your videos. Having watched so many of your boss fights I feel I know a lot more about the bosses' movesets. Your dodge game is absolutely on point and every time i watch your videos I learn something new about the game. Having platinum-ed the game recently I was missing it a lot and went down the rabbit hole of elden ring videos. Your content has given me new purpose to replay ER with self set challenges. I am currently playing NG+ respeced to a bleed arcane build from a strength int build previously and want to solo fight all bosses. Here goes nothing!

[@ASquared544]

I feel like going Dex instead of Strength would’ve been a better call for this run, because the Spark Aromatics scale off of Dex iirc.

[@グウィンドリン-t4x]

ER definitely has the best consumables in all games. There are actually pvp consumable builds that can vigor check people with giant fire pot

[@gingeraleoverdose1373]

Man, your editing style is easily the best in Elden Ring / Fromsoftware games. I’ve been playing them and watching youtube about them for probably ten years. I love that you explain everything you pick up and mix it in with gameplay. Great stuff

[@joshhardon6498]

When a boss takes like 30 attempts it would be really cool to see a compilation of each moment of death. There's a league streamer called thebausffs and his KZbin editor does these compilations of him farming, it's really satisfying to watch!

[@levyayano4644]

Tbf, death compilations are easier on his editor since he mostly runs a Zombie Sion Inting build. Not a Baus stream if Sion doesn't die at least once

[@joshhardon6498]

@@levyayano4644 haha true, but I mean compilations like this: kzbin.infoUgkxWZ0boDdP9cMNxJHd_c0DDqcPbkIQaySt It would be funny to see 30 deaths condensed into a few seconds and give an idea of just how long some bosses can take

[@ASquared544]

Tbh, I would’ve allowed the use of spells, cause there are a few explosive spells out there, like that Cannon one.

[@enlongjones2394]

For Renalla, you can also use the Rejection incantation to interrupt the singers and break her shield. It wouldn’t fail the challenge, because it does no damage.

Bushy forgot the explosive stone clumps also have a bell bearing so you can buy them from hand maiden

[@iedawahato]

Just a note: you don’t have to complete Diallos’ quest line to get the companion jar. Simply speaking to Jar Bairn periodically will advance his quest line up until the penultimate stage. Complete Alexander’s and you can then give him the key item without even doing Volcano Manor or meeting Diallos and he will leave on his own, as his arc isn’t centered around Diallos. I basically ignore Diallos so I don’t have to worry about Jarburg being decimated.

[@Nightwalker170]

I did a run like this. I had a blast! I also fast tracked Radahn as my primary target to get the Jar helmet A.S.A.P. then ditched the rest of my clothes to embrace my new Jar Wight identity. Getting the Soul-Jars of Fortune summon was a headache, as my ADHD had me trying to fight everything in the dungeon with pots and perfumes :/ All in all good fun though!

[@hashbunnyy]

debatable if the holy water pots count as explosions, its kinda like calling water balloons grenades

[@hashbunnyy]

still a cool ass run tho

[@parzival3193]

You, my good sir, have some serious patience

[@SpaceKnight105]

Megumin is impressed

[@Corundrom]

You *might* have been able to get away with perfumer Tricia or whatever her name is, since I'm fairly sure she only buffs and occasionally uses the spark aromatic, so no damage that isn't valid

[@Manigeitora]

Using the spirit ash itself is using something that's not a consumable, though, so I'd argue that doesn't qualify. Plus summons like that have infinite uses of their perfumes and other items so they're also not really "consumable" either.

[@CJ-of6wo]

Loved the run, but i feel like it was less an explosives only challenge and more just an item only challenge. Especially with the use of holy water pots that don't... yknow... "explode" so much as shatter violently. Wouldve been cool to see some lesser used things in the game like the Ghostflame explosion spell, or weapons like deaths poker and the cannon shield. Maybe even explosive bolts. Im aware that would make the challenge easier, but it would also be more interesting given some variety. Mayhaps another limiting condition couldve been set to keep the difficulty high since the whole point of the challenge is resource management.

If you wonder how pots works and never used them, when you throw one you receive one "cracked pot" in your inventory wich you can then use to craft another pot. Same with perfumer bottles.

[@Hibbzon]

I never used them cause I thought these were one time only consumables, just like most one time consumables (did my whole first run without using any of them, rune arcs included, because of the fear of wasting them lol).

Alexander's quest is hard to mess up, if we're leaving out the jarburg portion.

And 2, talk to him by the volcano. As long as you do just those 2 things, he will always end up at Faram Azula. The portion involving jarburg is the part that's easy to mess up.

Between the epic challenges, you should consider making shorter videos just about the fun antics you run into while making these. Fun encounters, odd glitches or whatever and anything else! I know these take a long ass time to make, so you should get more content out of it for free! I’d definitely watch shorter form videos of just absurd fun, stupid quick challenges or running gags. Whatever doesn’t fit with the main challenge videos but is still fun enough to watch on its own. Just sayin… it could help you upload more often and you wouldn’t have to stress about getting the massive videos out so quick. Either way, I’m glad I found and subbed. Stay sane and safe!

I personally would argue that Sleep Pots should be allowed for the Godskin Duo. They're Cracked Pot items, and while they don't "explode" like other ones do, they do break open and release something. Additionally, since they don't do damage, and even the status they inflict doesn't deal damage, they don't break the "only do damage with explosions" rule.
