Can You Beat ALL Elden Ring Bosses with ONLY Ashes of War?

[@cocofachpopov]

Great run, I was a little worried when you wasted kick right at the begining instead of saving for a hard boss, but you managed without it .

Tip for Lifesteal fist: The damage is taken directly from your offhand weapons critical dmg, so increase it by offhanding any weapon with high base dmg.

[@AndrewBrownK]

glorious spaghetti code

[@montgomeryfitzpatrick473]

Wouldnt that make misericorde best to offhand since it has highest crit multiplier in game?

[@nyambrosial1244]

@@montgomeryfitzpatrick473The misericorde has the highest crit motion value, but I think other weapons with higher AR may sometimes be able to do more crit damage even with a lower motion value, though i'm not sure how the initial comment is meant to be taken so you may be right

[@urtoryu_dy_althraidn]

@nyambrosial1244 It's build dependant. If I remember right, on a strength build the Executioner's Greataxes does more damage than the Misericorde, and I heard that at very high levels a Giant Crusher gets better damage purely out of the absurd raw AR it has. That said, Misericorde is still either the best or one of the best options for every build, and it's way lighter than pretty much all the others.

[@Leo-ym5xn]

Lmao, I remember how Inescapable Frenzy did the same, but they patched it eventually. Funny how you could either do no damage at all, or drain entire healthbar in one cast

Hey, not sure where to put this but, I'm the guy making Demon's Souls Expanded and Its so cool you played through it on one of your streams! I watched through the whole thing for feedback and possible issues, and it helped a ton. I'm just one guy doing it for funsies so I don't have the time to test or look over everything. Thanks again for playing through it and sharing. Keep up the good work! :)

[@HollandTHG]

Mistwood Ruins > Kalé > Blaidd > Darriwil is all that's needed for the talisman to be available at Iji, so it's definitely doable, but considering that he opened the run by saying he was just kind of winging it, I'm less surprised. That's extra info to keep in mind, while having 30 other bosses to kill before being able to access the relevant area. Probably didn't even think about the talisman until Liurnia lol

[@Murdock777]

its really amazing how From improved over the original idea of skills on dark souls 3 to the AoW in elden ring

[@urtoryu_dy_althraidn]

You can look back to DS1 and DS2 for that too. They started as powerful and unique, but durability consuming special heavy attacks. Then they became a more gimmicky move with a dedicated button, basically sharing their space and function with the parry that was already there, and costing FP instead of durability. Then with Sekiro they started to get a bit less gimmicky and turn back into being power moves, even if circumstantial. And finally in Elden Ring they became build defining signature attacks that you often design your whole playstyle around.

Hey, you should do a similar run but you can only use the reward from each dungeon in the next one. This would force you into using all spells, summons, and weapons. It would be interesting what route you would come up with.

About the Horrah Loux Earthshaker I recently found out that the first part procs the multihit talismans before the slam comes out. If you have winged sword insignia, millicent's prosthesis and thorny cracked tear you can get the full 40-50% bonus in just two casts.

Found this out during RL1 Elden Beast. It procs the boost from Millicent's Prosthesis (yes, I'm a terrible person) and it deals a little stance damage.

I watch a streamer who had mastered this game. He has done so many different runs and challenges, even a 165 boss run deathless which is no easy feat. Every time he makes a new character he asks chat to spit out random numbers and whatever attribute in next gets that number. Now it’s a given that the character is going to look a little wonky but for people who are members, leave superchats or belong to the players Patreon to get their panties in a bunch and up their a$$ because a character’s face is fun and unique is completely foreign got me.

Repeated ashes (out of the 2 different attacks rule): Spinning Slash (dragon halberd has ice lightning but it is still named spinning slash) Eochaid Dancing Blade (from the regalia and the greatsword) Spinning Weapon (royal cepter variant and normal) Flowing Form (same as unbreakable blade) Unbreakable Blade (move is different on each coded weapon) Nebula (bastard's and wing versions) Not counting the gravity kills as repeat because its a fun way to use these ashes
