Can You Beat Elden Ring As An...OCTOPUS SIMP?!?

[@NJoCaulfield]

I love the octopus head. Got it on my first playthrough and just laughed for like two minutes straight when I saw the wiggly jiggly tentacles. Great video, JK Leeds!

[@JKLeeds]

Top notch head gear, high fashion

[@TheHolyFlumpty]

@@JKLeeds Fun fact, use it with Mohg's armor to look like him

[@GoldZero501]

My favorite helmet in the game. I got it really early on and pretty much never take it off.

[@DanteSparda-rt7hy]

The octopus is the most majestic creature to ever live and no one can tell me otherwise

[@joshuahendrickson8694]

JK - Can you beat Dark Souls 1 as a Gargoyle? -Stone armor only (Gargoyle helm allowed if it drops) -Gargoyle weapons/shield only -Flame whip pyromancy allowed (most like fire breath) -other pyromancies NOT allowed Collect stone armor and Gargoyle's halberd first, then start over from Firelink. I already posted this idea to a Backlogs video, so maybe ask him if he's doing it already. This is more your style though.

[@MM-lv7iy]

22:07 Actually, considering the life cycle and design of a Falling Star Beast, Astel is actually a lacewing, the adult form of the ant lion!

[@Getzapped42]

Octopus are beautiful and majestic creatures. I loves them.

[@JKLeeds]

Damn right you do!!!

[@juststoppingby9259]

My first ever memory I have was seeing a YT vid of an octopus wrestling down a reef shark and eating it. Instant fav creature

[@SirJyrsy]

Let’s kick off the month of the Tentacle with style!

[@JKLeeds]

🐙

[@cassidywoodliff]

I got the head from like the second ever octopus creature I killed in elden ring, so I didn’t realize till much later that it’s a very rare random drop.

[@tristanwelke7827]

I was going to say "why not use stone of gurranq? Land octopuses literally vomit boulders." Until I realized you were attempting to cosplay an actual octopus lol. Good run as usual my guy.

[@sebamc4]

1:20 If you kill Diallos in Liurnia he drops the Hoslow's Petal Whip

[@BeefyPandaa]

The octopus is such a beautiful and majestic creature... And it's taste in music is second to none!

Squidward tentacles was by our sides all along... he'll be Elden Lord yet...

[@PressContinue]

Also you're welcome for the spear charge dodge

[@JKLeeds]

Helped me tremendously! Can't tell you how many times that attack fucked me up in the past. You should make guide videos or something 🤔

[@crimsoncutz8430]

Anyone who's seen what the octopus in the snowfield can do to the magma wyrm nearby knows better than to be surprised by the glorious power of the Elden Octopus

[@harrishoin7950]

this isn't the run anyone asked for, but it's certainly the run we all needed Edit: The octopus is a beautiful majestic creature

[@murderousbanana3553]

So this is what you needed it for. And happy to help!

[@JKLeeds]

Thank you so much my guy! Actual hero!

[@jasonglaser825]

6:51 The octopus is truly a magnificent creature boasting an intelligence on par with humans, adaptability through the roof, and can escape from predators without an inking of where they’ve run off to. ^^

[@screwloose2904]

I just gotta say I appreciate you doing all remembrance bosses, I see a lot of people just simply try to beat the game

[@davidpotts7116]

21:45 I have "killed" Adula in her first location only once before because I was curious, so I used a hypermode build. Can confirm she is unkillable at that location and is scripted to fly away no matter what. She's only able to be killed the second time you fight her.

[@Flokker]

You are improving at both the games and video creating at an alarming pace. This video was extremely cosy to watch and I mean that in the best way ever. I could watch this stuff for weeks.

[@j_162]

22:37 occult still improves the bleed (or poison) of weapons that already have it and is the recommended affinity for such weapons

[@uidsea]

Octopus is a beautiful majestic creature, if you don't do it I'll send some real octopus to crawl up out of your toilet.

[@lagideath]

22:34 Occult does not "turn the Arcane stat into pure damage instead of improving your status buildup. Occult increases Arcane scaling on a weapon without adding a flat status to the weapon. And Arcane increases any existing status effect, so if you have Bleed or Poison already on a weapon (such as with Hoslow's Petal Whip) then Occult will still dramatically increase the status effect. At 80 Arcane, Occult weapons come very close to Blood/Poison weapons in status buildup but have a lot more damage on top.

[@DamnDaimen]

6:48 Jeez, threaten me with a good time, why don't you. I'll just be sitting on my toilet, waiting for my guests now.

[@kchaifley1692]

Love your videos JK Leeds! What's the most fun you've had in a challenge run?

[@JKLeeds]

Maybe the old runs where I was beating the Elden Ring dungeons using only equipment found within? Loved fighting with weapons I would never normally use

[@kchaifley1692]

@@JKLeedsThose were some cool videos, I'd love to try a similar run some time! Keep up the amazing content in 2024 my man!

[@JKLeeds]

Thanks for supporting the channel! 🙂

19:03 "It's called hentai, and it's art." From The Office immediately popped into my head.

[@JKLeeds]

Poor Hank. We barely knew him

[@machinosts]

But, can you beat it as a...muffler? 🤔

[@David_4682]

Actually this helmet was one reason for me to play the Elden Ring Reforged Mod, where you get a special currency, if you start a ng+ cycle right at the beginnning, that allows you to buy every item in the game. Oh and nice video lad, i really appreciate your content ^^ Edit: The octopus is the most majestic creature to ever live and no one can tell me otherwise

[@kirbodin]

Snakes? BONELESS? Where do you live that you think this? I thought only Ireland was snake free.

[@this_is_Muffin]

I knew! I love it! It’s amazing for comedic “roleplay” where you pretend that your not a tarnished, your just an octopus that’s possessed a suit of armor

[@DoomWolfOfficial]

6:00 not sure if that was murloc or Dr Zoidberg :P Also, where's that DS2 magic run??

[@derlollo7361]

I have to say that there was a missed opportunity to say whip whip hurray at 27:27 😅

[@mavis5513]

You can progress Varre's quest offline so you can get access to the Mohgwyn Palace very very early in the game. Been binging all your videos lately and I've been loving every single pun!!

[@StarshadowMelody]

I want to note that the Urumi is actually an indian weapon, a kind of actual real-life whip sword. So that's neat!

[@emmettraymond8058]

Unpopular opinion: far from being a beautiful, majestic creature, the octopus is a majestically beautiful creature.

[@seanhennessy3968]

The octopus is a beautiful, majestic creature. Do YOU have cool running L1s like that? Huh?

[@NuclearSpring]

29:05 snakes have bones, though. A lot of them, actually.

[@JuggernogYT]

I got it on my first player 3 hours in and thought it was hilarious. I didn’t know it was so rare

[@ampgamer7941]

YES! Octopus heads for life! Literally my first character I beat the game wearing it.

[@Poisonjam7]

The octopus really is an amazing creature. There are so many vastly different species as well. Did you know the top 3 most venomous creatures in the world are all marine animals? Including the absolutely deadly (and tiny) blue ringed octopus.

[@abclove97]

Octopus is a foul tarnished

[@themightymcb7310]

I recently did a run using Bolt of Gransax and a pre-planned outfit, but I had this drop for me in Limgrave and couldn't help but put it on until I had my main weapon and armor. I wore it with the battlemage manchettes and legwraps.

[@Gleb_Tarkinskiy]

The octopus is a beautiful and majestic creature. Happy tentacles month everyone!

[@hybrid5860]

29:06 I'm sure you said this as a joke, but you know snakes have bones. Right? Unless you want to consider it one giant tentacle. Either way, that was an excellent challenge run. Love seeing the dual whip moveset in action

[@TotallyACat]

Octopus is indeed a magnificent and wonderful creature! Praise Be the Octopus! I welcome our Cephalopod overlords!

[@Megas_1]

Have to give you thanks for the music you used. Was wondering why there such creeping tension and dread. Then I remembered. That sound. Warning of impending doom and drowning. Excellent choice sir

[@ElGato6969.]

bit variants of the bubbles actually deal an immense amount of poise damage which is super neat

[@michaelwolford8570]

Octopus is a beautiful, majestic creature 🐙

[@viljamtheninja]

Favorite C-food? That's a weird question, but I suppose mine would be crab. This felt less like a challenge run and more like a fashion run, nd I'm all for it.

[@MonstertruckBadass]

Octopus crawl up my toilet? Don't threaten me with a good time!

[@iamthehobo]

Well, that's certainly a more eye-catching title than " no armor whip only run"

[@BaronsCastle]

Octopus is a beautiful majestic creature if you don't do it I'll send some real octopus to crawl up out of your toilet. Did I do that right?

[@JKLeeds]

You did it perfectly. Octopus in you toilet coming right up 🐙 🚽

Ok, I gotta come back to comment this. During my fight with Theodorix in the Consecrated Snowfield, he did his charge attack, accidentally aggroed one of the Giant Octopuses nearby, and got his shit absolutely slapped. The octopus brought him down to one-shot from a little over half HP too. I have witnessed the might of the octopus firsthand.
