Can You Beat Elden Ring WITHOUT Attacking? (Pacifist Run)

I'm not really the type to make celebration videos, so I just wanted to leave a comment here acknowledging the insanity of this channel reaching 1 million subscribers since the last video. As an anxious person who feels pretty undeserving of even a fraction of that, I don't really know what to say.

like alt f4/quit game from console menu?

[@level12lobster8]

You don't have to worry about using a specific setup. Just use the Belfry Farum entrance and then fast travel back to Roundtable Hold then Alt+F4 (quit to dashboard on console) during loading screen. Restart game. Done.

[@darkxzero13]

@@baldy117irl just quit out using the in-game menu after you've loaded into perfumer's grotto (in case you don't have PC for alt+f4). This also works for getting into nokron early from belfries

[@bendelaughter]

As someone who is currently attempting a Level 1, no hit, no summon run, I am almost more impressed by this. Your problem solving skills are on point.

[@Mashamazzi]

You're level one, you almost literally _can't_ get hit without dying lmao

[@bendelaughter]

@@Mashamazzi Yeah lol. Originally I wasn't gonna do no hit and then I realized everything Lyndell and beyond will kill in one hit anyways, so might as well. It only made the early bosses take a couple extra tries.

[@Mashamazzi]

@@bendelaughter but if you get hit you gotta restart the run? Good luck with that, you god damn masochist

Probably my favorite KZbin video of all time. Watched at least 5 times.

[@aguyyouneverknew]

One of my absolute favorite experiences in my gaming career (for lack of a better term) was basically doing this in a run of Fallout New Vegas, but with having a companion that could attack for me in place of spirit summons. I grabbed Cass as early as I could and just hauled her around with me everywhere, since she was a pretty high damage companion with her shotgun. It was crazy, and I had to get pretty creative with how I could handle situations where talking couldn't get you through the situation.

[@jasssedine]

man I have to replay Fallout NV at some point. Its such an amazing game

[@Eduxxxful]

Nice ! On what difficulty level ? Did you finish it ?

[@MrCaptainTea]

Why Cass ? She's the most annoying companion to get and does the least damage lol. Boone is the way.

This guys' videos are so interesting, it's been a long time since I've had a KZbinr keep me focused throughout the whole thing, and especially because the it stays true to it's goals, no cheesing around the main point of pacifism, good job! I look forward to more videos like this

[@hailothgaming]

And this is why a "Summoner" class would be an amazing idea, Restrict the Use of Bows and Swords for the class but increase slightly for summoning stats or whatever, I'd love it.

[@3gig]

Love this, thanks a ton. I did this with Elder Scrolls when I got bored one day. What a blast.

[@keiyangoshin3650]

“Gravity can kill.” - It’s official, Elden Ring is an amazing game! It doesn’t just crush the player ruthlessly, it does the same to the bosses. Brilliant game experiment! I’m a healer at heart, maybe this could work for me. 😅 Thank you for sharing!

[@skroodup]

Fun side note from my playthrough, the Fire Giant can kill himself with his massive sky fire bombardment. I hid underneath him (melee player) when he did it, and it all hit him instead and KO'd him in one burst.

[@chrish1654]

A fun little tidbit about the mimic tear summon. It uses your equipped consumables too, so you could technically have thrown those throwing pots on your mimc as another loophole to use the things you couldn't

[@Arekkizu]

but youd have to hope ur mimic hit the right one

[@CursedPR]

My mimic has never used any consumable tho. I have kukris, and a lot of health potions and mana potions and he has never used them.

[@ggrasten]

@@CursedPR i dont think mimic can use the flasks, but i can say with 100% certainty that it can use consumables like uplifting and sparks aromatics. I have been abusing uplifting aromatic on a mimic for a free 1 hit damage negation + bonus damage

[@DevinJuularValentine]

The mimic, at least pre patch, definitely has 1 healt potion. My mimic just kept chomping on exalted bloody flesh, I mean chowing down three times in a row. I've also seen it use thrown items now and then but none of it is consistent, seems best to put only one consumables in the bar

Same here man for both parts

[@Shangxen]

Same! These unique runs are giving me great ideas!

[@P1ntable]

Fun fact! There's actually a second summoning spot you can use on the other side of the mountain in the Fire Giant fight! A really great summon to use is Latenna the Albinauric as the giant is too far away to attack you but with her insane attack range she can hit him! It's also faster than the Ancestral summon because she fires 3 shots of magic damage at a time. I know you skipped and then beat him but just so you know!

[@ordinarytree4678]

The fact that latenna doesnt waste time moving around makes her among the top 5 ashes just from that. Combined with her great damage from any range is just even better.

[@proffessorh]

I used latenna on almost all my bosses, ever since I got her. She got insane dps

[@Maseiken]

I think you need to kill the mob near Latenna to get her ashes? probably not hard to path them off a cliff in that area though

[@OniDemo]

@@Maseiken Its a boss you have to fight to get to Latenna, but you can spirit summon for it so it wouldn't be an issue.

[@nunull6427]

On my first playthrough she was how I beat that commander in aonia. Slapped her on a high root, triggered boss and ran around.

I feel like iron pineapple should make a group password for elden ring now that he’s reached 1million subs, that 5% rune boost everytime one of us kills a boss could go a long way. Also this is something I’ve been thinking about for a while, a great ridiculous challenge that still felt doable. So excited to see him actually do it and was a really fun watch

@@noewell9870 The "weather" effect of the golden leaves raining down gives a 5% rune buff.
