the grafted scion boss doesn't kill you to ensure true deathless runs. Your hp doesn't hit 0 and you get no "you died" screen (unless you jump off). Also in randomizer, unlocking the training grotto grace also unlocks the stranded graveyard grace to skip the rick replacement if he's like melania or something impossible, so you could indeed have still fast travelled out of there.

[@apocolototh1948]

I got 3 rotting crystalians on my first randomizer as rick replacement

30:00 fun fact, LMSH used Rivers of blood with his cold uchi because the fire and frost cancel each other when proc'd so you can continuously proc along with bleed eventually. And of course, Malenia is weak to all of those.

[@justarandomgamer7667]

What triggers Melina to take you to the roundtable is either getting into Liurnia and sitting st a site of grace or defeating any boss in Limgrave, I believe.

[@RealCutieMutie]

Defeating Limgrave bosses don't trigger her, but losing to Margit does.

[@justarandomgamer7667]

@@RealCutieMutie I'm assuming that cause she appeared after I defeated the Stonedigger troll, I don't remember even trying Margit before

@@justarandomgamer7667 I'm pretty sure I'm right, heard this from multiple challenge streamers and speedrunners, also on the BingoBrawlers. Plus my own experience. But I'll not die on that hill, if someone prove me wrong I'll apologize on the spot.

[@That2J]

she will take you once you’ve met Margit… that’s how I went there for the first time and I’d beaten plenty of the low tier bosses around the start of limgrave by that point 🤷🏻‍♂️

17:00 just be glad it wasn't fire Giant because if you didn't know his fire attack the fire segments Bounce Around The Arena all over the place for like 10 seconds after he's already stopped attacking

[@Daredevell2]

Btw, the serpent hunter spear respawns in the Rykard arena when you discard it, so that’s why it was there

[@beloslavbelchev8062]

In order to enjoy this video to the fullest I went on a DumpyKong rabbit hole and watched every challenge run (this all happened today) . I've got to say this is some of the most creative , well edited videos . They are full of heart and each one has its own soul . The thing I loved is how they intertwine with each other , like they are saying a story about your adventures . DumpyKong lore is fucking wild you guys . I am absolutely hooked on your videos ❤

[@cornflakegaming9883]

You and many others inspired me to do my own challenge run. It wasn’t unique but we all have to start somewhere I guess. It was a faith only run and I had a blast, I was gonna post it, but these challenges aren’t always for bragging rights, they’re for fun! Thanks Dumpy, for just doin what you do!

[@cummmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm9845]

lol same I'm doing a magma only run rn hope u do some more challenge runs

[@UndercoverOni]

I’m just gonna put this out there, you don’t technically die to the first boss, he leaves you at 1HP, so technically you don’t lose anything if he “kills” you

[@adammolenaar9119]

Another banger video, as well as fun streams, so keep doing what you're doing because it's a lot of fun to watch.

[@dingusfighter]

I had the same phase 2 jumpscare on malenia in that same arena while doing a seamless co-op fog gate randomized run, I found that you can even use the staircase in the area to kind of cheese the fight if you have range.

[@thomas4489]

I really enjoyed this challenge, must have turned you insane haha And happy birthday btw :)

[@lyndsaypeters5981]

27:00 imagine if you had to fight the shade in the shadow Arena

[@Solairre]

The more the challenge is hard, the more is fun to watch

[@StanleyG23]

The Death Ritual Spear finally getting used and having its time to shine was great. Anyway, this was a pretty good run. Good job!

[@tinminator8905]

I had a very similar idea but ended up with a very different ruleset that makes it more like a pokemon nuzlocke. The things that were imprtant to me: I should keep the aspect of limiting encounters and planning for a boss. So that's why I didn't randomize enemies. I am only alllowed one weapon per side dungeon, legacy dungeon or map fragment. The rule that made it most like pokemon nuzlockes is: I have to lock in my equipment for a boss (Luckily there are six slots, just like for pokemon) and have to beat the boss with that loadout, every death I lose the one I was using (to avoid me sacrificing shit weapons without ever using them). I limited levels by allowing leveling with boss weapons and made it so there is a fixed weapom level per boss (to mimic rare candy use). Overall it was very close to what I wanted but also very difficult.

The cutscene that triggers the roundtable hold always happens after you encounter Margit for the first time, at least that is how it happened for me

I think melina triggers to take you to the hold if you either defeat margit or rest at a grace beyond liernia (i have completely forgotten how to spell :/)

[@timklafke4712]

I have only watched a minute of the video so far, but I already feel like the “only leveling to 100” is gonna be brutal. Considering you’ll need stats to wield as many weapons as possible + having decent vigor and stam + maybe int and faith if magic is used, might be rough. This is my thoughts before watching the video tho
