I think the reason Mohg is highly resistant to fire is implied in his lore. Something about when he pledged himself to the formless mother it ignited his own blood into blood-flame. So having a literal bloodferno inside him could definitely explain his fire resistance. Even still he does manipulate blood-flame a lot so even if his own blood isn't on fire he still handles a lot of fire anyway.

[@DoomWolfOfficial]

interesting theory, I can see the connection...but then why is he so weak to bleed lol

Not sure if anyone's said it yet but the +7 I get at least is from wrong warping to faram via the four belfries portal and grabbing the stone at the 3rd grace before dipping. You just take the waygate there to faram, fast travel to round table, and as your loading bar hits the 100% mark you alt + f4 the game. If you time it right you'll load back into the very beginning of Faram.

Also, the dudes with Reduvia and Bloody Helice in Mohg's area and the place where you get Bloody Helice, as well as Mohg himself, all get boosted damage when bloodloss occurs. I'd assume the same of the guy in the Catacombs with the dogs, but I haven't fought him since they patched the dogs to NOT instantly kill you, so I never checked.

Theory on the rock throw from Beast Clergyman - you start the animation for shooting before he's throwing the rock. As he throws, you fire. The shot pushes you back a bit, and so the rock hits where you were previously standing when he threw it - hence why it lands just a few inches in front of you. Probably wrong, but that's my guess.

[@DoomWolfOfficial]

Guess I should just learn the noble skip lol

[@hexadecimal973]

You can wrong warp to faram azula from the 4 belfries, when you got to the small island via the teleporter you need to do the wrong warp. So you basically try teleporting back to the roundtable hold and as soon as the loading bar jumps a big amount and goes above half you alt f4 the game and re-open it. Not actually hard and it takes few tries, make sure you hit the site grace. When you teleport to faram azula make your way to the temple where you find the ancient dragon cult prayerbook or whatever it's called and hit the elevator, there you can find smithing stone 9 on a body next to a tree where those worm faces are. and before the godskin fight you can find somber 7 on a body on a floating piece of rock, and then further dropping down you can find somber smithing stone 8 just before the site of grace. So basically that skip allows you to get a +10 weapon before any boss fight since you can find every other somber smithing stone except 7 and 9, which is cool. I hope you'll read this.

[@DoomWolfOfficial]

This is true, it slipped my mind about wrong warping. I tend to never do glitches in my runs (obviously here i straight up cheated something in but still lol) there's a 9 in Dragonbarrow, it's at the base of Caelid's Divine tower (it's the one I get in the video)

[@DoomWolfOfficial]

hey it isn't my fault the enemies are stupid lol

[@EIA-Observer]

Margitt really did underestimate the extent of both your foolishness and ambition.

[@DoomWolfOfficial]

I feel like at this point Margit (and the other bosses) see me come in and think "what dumb shit is he doing now" lol

[@EIA-Observer]

@Doom Wolf Keeps me entertained, so keep at it. I enjoy the fact that your commentary and script is not soaked in profanity and blasphemy like a lot of challenge runners, while adult in nature at times, you focus on wit and comedic timing which is not only more enjoyable, but I feel it gives your content a longer lifespan compared to someone "rageing" and screaming f bombs for the 100th video.

[@Xenomorphdude472]

Haha, like the part you say: “Knock, knock.” And the enemies should say “Who’s there?” Really good joke.

[@DoomWolfOfficial]

it's a classic!

[@Xenomorphdude472]

I know, right? 😀

[@HUNT736]

Mohg lord of blood. Weak to bleed, nearly immune to fire

[@DoomWolfOfficial]

This is a more accurate name for him lol

[@Plush5]

You know what would be cool is if he beat it with only tongues of fire

[@DoomWolfOfficial]

I did add this to my notes, so maybe some day!

[@davidebressanutti4968]

great video!

[@DoomWolfOfficial]

Thanks, glad you enjoyed it :)

[@LotteLattes]

I feel like im the only person who actually enjoys when the runner cheats in a weapon instead of fucking around for half the video to get the weapon and already being basically 50% done. Im here to be entertained and see how viable it really is i dont care how you get it.

[@DoomWolfOfficial]

Some of my viewers like to do the run after I do, to see what it's like. If I cheat the weapon in the Console users can't (unless they wanna do NG+). That's also why I try to minimize the amount of enemies slain before actually getting the weapon haha

[@SRProductionzZz]

My guy, I wanna see you do the Elden Ring geo guesser

[@DoomWolfOfficial]

I've seen that around, haven't played it yet lol

[@Navelofman]

I'm stuck on Godfrey's stompy phase, I'm doing a Dragon Communion spells only rune level 1 run. I can rot him right before, so he's taking damage during that phase, but I need to hit him with something around half health to get to the Hoarah Loux phase. I could unga bunga with Godrick's dragon fist, but I've made it this far with just the spells. I want to find a window for my slow ass spells, but man it's hard.

[@DoomWolfOfficial]

oof, dragon communion only RL1 sounds tough. I did it but not at RL1 and at that point I didn't find any safe opprotunies to attack. i noticed one where he stomped first and then swung, there _might_ be enough time to do something in that, but I didn't check. a lot of people commented saying for Hoarah Loux you can actually avoid his grabs using dragon maw or claw, I don't....it never worked for me but they said if you time it right you're just immune to the grab. idk haha

[@charybdis1618033]

If we're doing cosplay runs, perhaps Hawkman? Wield the Morningstar, or maybe another spiky mace weapon, and a brass shield. Get some set that looks appropriate. I'm sure one of them has something like wings. Use summons as you see fit, but always lead from the front. Die repeatedly to everything, and come back stronger every time you do.

[@DoomWolfOfficial]

ngl, when I first read this I thought you meant Harvey birdman, attorney at law and I was like "yyyeEEESSSS" lol Hawkman still cool though, thanks for the suggestion :)

[@anxiodine]

Random idea I had for a challenge if your up for it: How lazy can you(r character) play to beat elden ring? Or at least for bosses and significant fights, but like basically letting summons do all the work for you, overlevelling defensive stuff, using shields and just walking around the arena, and using cheese strats everywhere you can lmao. idk, I can see it becoming tedious but it did sound like it could be fun and make for interesting content, who knows

[@DoomWolfOfficial]

well, I do have the "summons only" idea written, going the extra mile to make it lazy only might not be so hard haha

[@ΡαφαήλΣαλιάρης-ν5ω]

Bloodhound fang ur way through godskin noble in volcano major and get it, I swear that weapon is op. I guess it would be hard in a "this weapon only" run

[@DoomWolfOfficial]

Ya know, i've heard good things about that weapon but never used it lol

[@GiovanniNoeyes]

Didn't expect a Golden Boy reference, ha.

[@DoomWolfOfficial]

Sometimes I surprise even myself ;) lol

[@ryanroswellcacho]

It's Actually Sparky Sparky Boom Man.

[@DoomWolfOfficial]

copywrite, had to change it ;) lol

[@cronous5954]

Speedrunners and also not speedrunners (like myself) get the somber 7 from vulcano manor, and through the noble skip. It took me about 6 hours till i got it the first time though

[@DoomWolfOfficial]

From what I have gathered, it is the Nobel skip that people use, guess I should learn it lol

[@CheesePlaysGuitar]

shields have kabooms?!?! very interesting.

[@DoomWolfOfficial]

they can have BIG kabooms lol
