Using the Beast Claw Seal to cast the Bestial incantations with only 16 Strength is probably why they did so little damage. The Beast Claw Seal uses Strength scaling.

[@jakemurphy7148]

even with max strength min faith for spells it works out around the same if not worse to use that seal as the caster

53:14 Loretta's spells are classified as Glintblade sorcery rather than Glimstone - the colour is actually a clue, since Glintblade sorceries use a pure blue whereas most Glintstone spells are cyan (except for Founding Rain of Stars and Stars of Ruin). But the more reliable hint is just staring at the crest that shows up when you cast it - the circular crest with two blades is the Glintblade sigil, while the Glinstone sigil is the one on Terra Magica. Either way, not that important to the run, just cool trivia.

[@themanofquagga]

Carian sorceries, not Glintblade, but yeah. They were the personal spells of the Carian royal house, the rulers of Raya Lucaria, who mainly taught Glintstone sorceries.

[@paracame8162]

Loretta's Sorceries are classified in their own Category. they have their own crest that looks similar to the Carian crest. why? the Carians use swords. she modified it into a bow

[@monikamorningstarshadlo4129]

It has glint in the name, I’d say that’s good enough

[@anishshirodkar484]

Oh, did you guys know that if you play online, Fia’s Champions take the build of everyone who hugged Fia? So you can go against an Ai version of any player who has hugged Fia, possibly even yourself

[@spuderman4458_]

Yeh I did 👍

[@juggernoglady]

Huh,I always thought it was based on random pvp builds not other people

[@Zethios]

Fun fact about blackflame spells, the wave of black flame spell is just a stronger version of the fireball one with only a slight increase in FP cost with a wide range as well

[@samuelmcary8809]

Not using flame of the fell god in NG+1 is a missed opportunity. Very powerful spell

[@lori_irol]

It's a good spell, but it's almost closer to being a trap spell than a pure damage output spell. Area denial more so than spammable damage

[@samuelmcary8809]

@@lori_irol on its own yes, but you pair it with something actually spammable and you can summon your orb and then go to town for 4-5 seconds without having to worry about it. Basically free damage to add on top of your main dps (super busted with blasphemous blade L2 because of the range and stagger damage makes it easier for the orb to connect)

[@lori_irol]

@@samuelmcary8809 That's true, I suppose. I was more or less speaking from experience and I don't have the brain capacity to switch spells.. but that does sound like a good tactic, yes.

[@MamaTrixxieAsmr]

45:00 that rock that sailed past margit was on a damn mission lol

[@coleclark5625]

For a future trick involving spells. I’ll use the frenzy flame for example. If you use the seal that boost frenzy flame incantations in your off hand and use a better faith scaling seal like the erdtree seal. You’ll still get the boost of damage from the frenzy flame and the scaling from the erdtree seal. Unless that was nerfed from last time I did it. It’s not like a massive damage difference but it’s like a 100 damage to a 150

[@hedgehoginacanoe5838]

And you're not even using the best catalyst for each run, just ones that increase the spells damage.

[@halsmith6934]

Omg omg!!! I’ve been waiting for this video! Amazing job and it was so much fun to watch. Can you maybe do one with all the weapons or something similar? Like the most powerful weapon from each magic or something. Can’t wait for the next video!

[@alexandrepr5534]

super video, loved the concept and don't worry if the video is longer, longer is more good stuff and we like to watch those videos so keep it up :)

10%

[@sirkelendor5429]

Im sittin here wondering why he didnt grab the sacred scorpion charm instead of the cerulean medallion, why have slightly more fp when you can get 20% more holy damage

[@plaguedoctor5145]

@@sirkelendor5429 true, idk if he used any scorpion charms in the end, considering how close it got tho, they might not have been the call

[@sirkelendor5429]

@@plaguedoctor5145 i mean it does have the 10% increased damage, but your goal is to NOT get hit, so its worth investing into... also how many elden ring players use radagon's soreseal as a perma talisman? Most in my experience

[@Silverstar114]

You did a fantastic job with this! I really enjoyed listening and watching you work. You've got a great voice for it, and it's also nice to see a turbo speedrun (even if it technically is an average of 8.25 per run 😅). Tldr; awesome work, keep it up!

[@GrapeSodaDan]

Great video I love the format I’d love to see a video ranking every type of melee weapon

[@solarpsychode3106]

Glad to see u made hella progress🎉

[@ultra824]

Litany of Proper Death isn't actually a bad spell it's just that it really only does one thing: kill undead. It has pitiful base damage but absurdly wide area coverage, particularly for its very short casting animation. and that base damage isn't so bad when you realize it does *+500%* to Those Who Live in Death. It's not super useful in this type of challenge run, because there aren't any undead bosses on the critical path, (and area coverage is of admittedly limited use against most bosses anyways) but it can make the undead-heavy parts of farum azula a breeze to traverse, flattening whole squads of skeletons at a time. Wiuld have made deathroot hunting a bit easier though probably When Shadow of the Erdtree drops I know I'm going to be keeping this spell in mind, since SotE will probably have more undead than the base game

[@gunsevenwhillans420]

Deals +900% damage to undead actually. And yes, everyone who says that Litany of Proper Death is a terrible spell can't read: It was specifically designed by From Software to be only used against undead like the skeletons in catacombs and that's it.

[@crow4936]

Try it on a death bird or the undead dragon....

[@osd-syrup]

Really enjoyed the video, long-form content ftw. I'd like to see a challenge like this where you rank each dagger or longsword. Keep up the good work!

[@xrabbz2010]

I’ve played this game through to NG+7 with almost every possible build but in still can’t stop watching challenge runs like this. It’s takes the spot of game ever made from Witcher 3 IMO

[@damionk3258]

Hey, great video, nice spin on the magic challenge runs. You've come a long way since the Ascended playthrough when I first seen your content, well done on the growth of your channel and I'm alwasy happy to see what mad challenge you attempt next.

Hey man! Awesome video, watched the whole thing. It wasn't too long because you made it exciting with the good editing. I also like it that you put the time where we should be skipping if we don't want to see you collecting items. Once again, I can see the loads of time in this video, and it's amazing. Pressed subscribe

[@zangatsubankai]

This is an ASTOUNDING video. Really earned yourself the sub. Super looking forward to see what you do next. I'm a little surprised you never brought out the Hidden Tear for any of the more FP hungry spell schools though. Unendurable Frenzy is pretty insane with it, even after the nerfs to duration.

[@Tom-ux4ho]

I love your video's they are so high qulity. Keep it up man, i love it!!!

[@akechijubeimitsuhide]

Rock Sling is so good, I used it as my main until I got smart enough for Night Comet / regular Comet but it's still very useful. Especially at cheesing things from the high ground. I took down the Dragonbarrow avatar from way up the cliff. Lured him with an arrow, took a few steps back when he started blasting and yeeted rocks at him until he reset, then repeat.

[@adamjayr]

I was entertained! Thank you.

[@aravbudhiraja5549]

Might i suggest Night sorceries? Night maidens mist COOKS

[@akechijubeimitsuhide]

Night Comet is just ridiculously good against any dodgy motherfuckers, and even Radagon. Can't parry what he can't see coming.

[@thefricke05]

The official rot class of incantations also includes pest threads, so it would not have been impossible. Also, lorettas mastery looks like a carian sorcery, which is just a subsect of glint stone sorcery developed by rennalas family. You can theoretically divide spells and incantations down into like 20-30 different classes, but that would just be painful

[@user-cd5ci2ot4u]

Love the vids❤

[@strandofeternity]

gj dude, id love to see the rest of the spells you didnt use this time, maybe some other challange? take care, stay safe.

[@germansausage7310]

Frenzied flame Incantation like "unindurable frenzy" actually do more damage when you aim them manually at the ground below the enemy since more flames hit (most arch upward) and the ones that don't directly hit explode on the ground for some more fire damage

[@Thejigholeman]

a one save magic challenge? that actually sounds kinda fun. i might wanna try this with the convergence mod.

[@urtoryu_dy_althraidn]

Discus of Light is actually pretty awesome. Best FP efficiency in the game by FAR and huge range, pretty spammable, double hit is great for stunning small foes, it's overall a amazing spell for exploring and dealing with normal enemies. Only... It's amazing at everything, EXCEPT boss fights, where a stationary casting animation is kind of a problem.

[@herobrinehunter18]

you can get a somber stone 7 without killing godskin noble (it's in the leyndell sewers right near Mohg's shackel) Loving the video so far though :)

[@curtisthecactus]

i always forget about that one, thanks for putting it back into my mind LOL

[@chaseschmidt1174]

Gotta do all weapon categories for the next one of these.

[@ZoranBlackRose]

Kinda surprised you didn't do blood spells sure there is stuff immune to the breed proc but the spells still do decent damage on there own especially on lower new games

[@alexthewrecker4666]

Breed proc 😧

[@dangersense6137]

ALL I have been thinking about FOREVER has been reliving my fight with fire giant EVERY time alexander connected a fire upper cut I just squealed and started wailing with my powerstanced katanas and I audibly stopped holding my breath in and just made the ds1 aauuhh death sound

[@73193]

this has inspired me to do the same thing but with every single sub class counted as one

[@GoPicPic]

Tip for Flame of Frenzy, since the missiles spread out in a cone, if you aim at their feet you tend to hit way more of the projectiles, especially on smaller enemies

[@cantalopes-ec9id]

I don't think I have to say it but like new upload make day better

[@ERelevantOPINIONS]

Man's said he can only kill bosses with a specific damage type and proceeds to cheese the knight calvary lol

[@WillowDoesStuff1]

litany of proper death is used for killing undead enemies as it states in the description (not trying to be mean just giving information)

[@lori_irol]

Fun fact, discus can hit I believe 8 times, not just twice, since it stays in one position and spins like a sawblade for a couple seconds. Abusing enemy AI and getting all those hits in is how to do it, like when Morgott does his falling sword trick

[@bpooboi]

Anyone ever wonder if there are multiple erd trees?? When i see the fight with the elden beast you see all those erd tree trunks makes me think there are more than one. Imagine that

[@Dzimko-rc2io]

Great video! You went through a lot of suffering I only have 2 issues - you haven't abused double seal/staff for some spells and no spiral shard - one of the strongest spells against big enemies

[@HISKILP]

jeah, the spiral would had shred through the Elden Beast for example... but you only get the spell after a "long" questline sadly, so no quick to get magic

[@AdamMerlin]

26:40. I feel you. I did a magma Mage build a few months back. My favorite personal build EVER. But fire giant forced me to use other spells

[@benjaminloewen9458]

I can’t imagine how much it would suck to do the truck from the bottom of mountain tops of the giants 8 times in a row

[@curtisthecactus]

It sucked a lot

[@halfeatenbread-id7pb]

Quick tip if you use the AoW on the flail it does bleed and still works after you run out if fp

[@insatiablewombat8276]

Where were the dragon head incantations man?

[@Elm_TheTarnished]

blackflame does infact scale with the bosses hp because one time i fought the fire giant with someone and they used black flame torando and even with that 50% less fire damage black flame did wonders

[@Kingfisherd]

Is he using keyboard wow that’s crazy

[@Woodenarcher684]

After each boss you should put how many tries it took

[@mr.bucket3710]

He should have used the cerulean tear to have infinite fp so he can hold down the meteors of astel. With that tear you can get huge damage and on big bosses it can wipe out massive chunks of their hp bars

[@Fearless_samurai]

for fire run of ng game i could see the use of some of them it would have been great to see fire deadly sin incantation

[@sert1197]

The remixed OG DOOM music was a perfect choice for the bosskilling montage

[@Not3xactly]

Nice video. Was fully engaged for the whole hour. Elden Ring is the best game ever made IMO, but one slight criticism i guess is that despite all the spells, build variety, etc. just spamming pew pew spells turns out to be the most powerful. It honestly seems like a challenging problem to find a solution to and a perfect one probably doesnt exist but at the end of the day its still fun as hell and super satisfying to just nuke bosses.

[@futuristicbus61]

33:40 local Elden Lord too strong to die, post mortem response almost kills Tarnished bystander

[@codydotpng]

Shame we didn't see Dragon Communion. Definitely my favorite casting type. Sad that most mods can't make changes to them (due to code restrictions) and I hope that changes someday.

[@A_Brit]

Thank you for sacrificing for a game that I don't play. I enjoyed watching.

[@TheVeiledMonarch]

27:27 says hasn’t used Flame, Fall upon them. Not even a few minutes earlier in the vid uses it to finish rennala. I did a faith/strength build and used the blasphemous blade and some fire and Beastial incants for Radabeast. Got heals the entire fight as long as I had the blue

[@xinbolyu420]

litany of proper death is more meant to be used against those who live in death like skeletons. just wanted to point that out😁

[@user-do3yb5dt5c]

For the final few ng you could have used the golden order seal and the prince of death staff

[@MamaTrixxieAsmr]

loretta's spells are carian/glintblade but whatever, carian spells might as well just be weapon-like glintstone

[@raymondantoni7]

From what I’ve seen my new save for the game is going to be gravity death and the one beast spell that heals

[@burn1none]

great video my dude but you got one more play through with dragon spells to do imo

[@qdawg8087]

Elden Ring players kill me. *Beats the game up to NG+7 severely handicapping himself* - "I'm bad at the game"

[@jarankennedy762]

I always took it how I say it. I’ve beaten this game in multiple different ways with multiple different build, no flask (forcing healing spells I never used before) and even a level 1 run. I say I suck when I get hit by something because I have so much knowledge of the game and shouldn’t get hit (not including animation locked hits, obviously)

Super smart starting with holy would hate to try and beat a boss that is 80% resistant at new game 7

[@DeCode343]

Nice one there!! But I think you could have done rot incantations. Pestilend threads should hit goldfrey and absolutely shits on elden beast.

[@NiMonYo]

Its a good thing Nights Cavalry doesnt count as boss or you wouldve failed this challenge with the very first boss you killed

[@akechijubeimitsuhide]

He didn't kill him, gravity did XD

[@charlietroop5249]

At that much faith you just might as well have used the princes staff for the glintsone run.

[@sinsadvocate]

Fun Fact: Catch Flame is actually superior compared to O Flame, due to even faster casting, lower FP cost, and higher mobility. The DPS you can get on Catch Flame is insane.

[@pomidoriukas4726]

[@CyberpunkF]

I really like fire incantations because you can get Fire Scorpion Physic and 4 attacks very very easily.

[@thonatmo]

Man doesn't know the true ways of glintstone when it comes to radagon and beast... Night comet and glintstone spiral

[@b-trav8773]

Slept on glintstone spiral, left out ice, aberrant, night, and magma sorcerys and ignored dragon communion
