Hope the run was enjoyable to watch, I am incredibly humbled by the support, and so honored to have been the game to push us over 2 mil ♥♥♥

[@Rajivrocks-Ltd.]

Amazing run my man, and the energy there was insane, props for being able to focus :)

[@gasasmk]

This is my second favorite GDQ run ever. Amazingly well played, nice couch, great timing with the donations. Fantastic! ❤

[@JackZachart]

I want to see them do All Remembrances so badly at GDQ

[@matthiasnoack5672]

I mean, it's a bit of an older run, but 2022 catalystz ran All Remembrances :)

[@Loganaman]

To be fair that’s a much longer run compared, I have to wonder if it’s too long for the event, that being said I also know very little about the actual event so idk, it would be great to watch though!

[@Zr0ck79]

All remembrances with SOTE might be long enough for the finale next event lol

[@jelomun2]

its not optimal yet with people still learning DLC, run would be long 4 hours +

[@Abraxare]

​@@matthiasnoack5672 He forgot to do one in the process but Yep that was a cool run to watch 😅

[@AlphaHog12]

Can we just appreciate the fact Blanxz perfectly timed the golden vow for 2 mill

[@BreathlessBreathing]

100k in a single run. Wow.

[@jelomun2]

its elden ring

[@bonsai218]

even better it was all in an hour

[@ahuryn19]

Legendary souls running couch there

[@ThePumkinPrinces]

Holy F that Maliketh fight ( 1:03:29 ) is SO clean and so impressive to see!

[@klaks1000asd]

Mitch being so happy all the way through and extremely good commentary! Monster run by Blanxz

[@AOpsyche]

cutting off just before the Toad doing Hank Hill impression is the crime of the century lmao

[@ratdoto2148]

He crushed it.

[@BowTieSoFlyGaming]

Damn, y’all are fast! Speedrunning the uploads too!

[@birdmandan8035]

Blanxz is dope.

[@BlueSR]

Fantastic run!

[@outerheavenstudio]

2 million dollars Golden Vow, what a majestic sight

[@SesshyLover777]

I just found out SGDQ was last week today 😭😭😭 THANK YOU FOR PUTTING UP THE VODS ALREADY!!!

[@ewetoo]

saaaaammmee i was gutted. made a donation anyway!

[@AustinPaulMusic]

The vod cutting off right before the Toad doing an impression of Hank Hill is an absolute CRIME. Great run, blanxz!!!!

[@kepeli14]

congrats blanxz!! that was awesome!

[@ewetoo]

What a brilliant running commentary, that makes the run complete, thank you!

[@garfieldoftheweek]

Goddamn mind blowing. This is so impressive.

[@UzumakiheroGaming]

Good stuff, gamers

[@shogundy1]

Been watching blanxz run this category for a while and loved seeing him up this year at GDQ! Great job :)

[@billkowalsky]

One of the most nail-biting, satisfying runs I've ever seen at GDQ. All-timer! Thanks!

[@rerroubai]

2 Millions Dollars Speedrun Any % 🤩

[@brandoff8]

I just played through for the first time since release in preparation for the DLC - this is incredible.

[@Deffinnition]

This run was EXCELLENT, congratz Blanxz!

[@dismissedend4276]

lol, gosh, those impressions were horrendously bad but so good at the same time

[@halcyon62277]

I don't know why, but watching the crowd get so hyped this run to get to 2 mill has been so emotional. Brought tears to my eyes to hear everyone scream at the same time and standing ovation

[@stigmatamartyr4223]

Damn they’re fast

[@casuallemurstalk3262]

They're speedrunners for a reason lol

[@fistonabitbol509]

Amazing run!

[@uncagedpine9589]

Very impressive from runner to stay calm with the amount of hype in the audience.

[@SocksyyAU]

The timing on the 2million goal was so good

[@roghider3552]

spectacular run

[@AdventuresInSnacking]

I love fresh basil pesto. It's winter here, so my garden has no fresh basil right now. Thanks for bringing me some spring/summer vibes. 👍

[@ChrisLT]

Great run, it's always fun to see one of these games after several years of tweaking and routing.

[@Opno]

The traded hit at the beginning of Maliketh crazy

[@Kraden34]

Yeah, it’s interesting how that’s part of the speedrun strat… you have just enough health/damage resistance to survive.

[@joshbunye]

HYPEEE

[@dj_tightpants]

That timing of 2 mil at the start of Radagon is insane. what a run

[@Blankname98]

Great Run from Blankxz as expected, but i think we need more love for this host and his great impressions.

[@rufnek3124]

thank you for doing it glitch less

[@penngwinn]

Bro, I have NEVER seen Fire Giant roll like that as the first move. Wild.

[@minhcuonghuynh2768]

GDQ special.

[@pt4387]

you said the thing!

[@jsbmx2039]

One shotting bosses with a sword. So good

[@Shmethan]

Loved the inpressions hehe

[@Felixicity]

i'm STILL thinking about that malekith script, it was beautiful

[@Daviddd_Marques123]

daaaamn, aggy taking notes

[@overkill1994]

I was watching this live at a friends birthday party/barbeque 🤣

[@jameswilcox511]

Great run! $2 million hyyyyyyype! That Fire Giant opening was unexpected. Never knew he did that. 😅

[@laurenh5855]

That is some Radhan worthy hair there Blanxz! Can’t wait to for ER DLC and LoP DLC

[@strawberryfrogforever]

Not usually too into the donos but do gotta say Melo put his heart into reading them

[@Simte]

Dude this run is great. Btw, how didn't anyone got the Not Like Us donation, ahha.

[@allgreatfictions]

In several years of watching GDQ videos, Brutal Melo is the best host I've ever seen, but dear lord, that Bane impression was painful. Especially when the other impressions were so damn good haha. And Mitchriz is an absolutely natural commentator.

[@nobudy111]

The best run

[@VileLasagna]

I watched this live, amazing run and all but I was confused with one detail: The route involves purchasing a shortbow next to Bellum Church for the shortbow moveset with jump shots etc, with the goal of an easier time sleeping Godskin Duo. But the route also literally walks over the Black Bow @35:55 so why not just pick that up instead? Looked to me that the initial long bow was good enough for everything other than Duo and the build does have the stats for black bow.

[@outerheavenstudio]

so usually the faster route is another skip after the erdtree avatar on leyndell and the lion that goes into coloseum's broken bridge, it's really sketchy and it has a very little time to do a quit out if you failed the jump. So Blanxz using the old safer route because I believe he just want to minimize quit outs as little as he can... and of course he on't pick up the black bow. So yeah it's kinda 2 route options merged into one

[@Haerdalas]

Black Bow has the longbow moveset. So it wouldnt have the fast jump shots they want for the Duo. That's my guess anyway.

[@doopy_doops]

Might be for marathon safety? They mentioned a route that skips the merchant but that it’s riskier; maybe in that one they skip the merchant’s extra rune arc and use the black bow instead? Alternatively, they say that they bring the duo to exactly 1 HP before each crit. If it’s really that precise then black bow being 5 base damage stronger would do too much damage and miss the crit opportunity

[@Mitchriz]

You're all mostly correct. It's two routes merged into one. The risky route buys the composite bow, while the safer route would grab the black bow. Blanxz usually does the risky route in his own runs and is comfortable using the compound bow, but did the safe route for the marathon. So he picked up his comfortable bow, but walked the safe route, for the ultimate in comfort and safety with only a few seconds of time loss.

[@mystrdat]

The bow is used for proccing status, not damage, and Black Bow does that worse

[@industrialVyking]

This was so fun to watch. Such epic timing when the $2M hit at the right time. And Super Mario Remake ending. Man, what am I going to do with the next 6 months lol. The crowd energy was high!

[@jerryb216]

"Going to fight the tree sentinel, and its probably going to go a bit different than other streams youve seen on twitch" Dies. Love the run haven't seen any% glitchless for a while

[@Opuelas]

Around 27:57 there appears to be an item on top of the stake of marika after he does the Radahn skip...anyone know what that is?

[@Valkeyrey]

What a great host. Terrific impressions.

[@themris]

How is that Radahn kill "glitchless"?

[@Lars-no9nf]

Do we play the same Elden Ring because damn he is good

[@BFG-rr9cv]

Wait, the Radahn glitch is still in the game?

[@Janos0206]

26:03 😂 no that's pretty much what I've seen

[@gordonreilly4520]

Elden Lord

[@nora_shitagai]

別ゲーすぎて草

[@Flyntloch]

Y'all; I swore this was an Elden Ring speedrun why is there Skyrim horse physics

[@zethrasgorgoth3145]

Damn, this guy is good

[@vicimgd]

can anyone tell what the audience is yelling?

[@92Thom]

I literally don't understand how he does so much damage to Radhan, Tree Sentinel and Margit with so little stats, it's so weird. Edit: I don't understand how he does so much damage to *all* the bosses.

[@lolmao500]

What about a Elden Ring get level 713 speedrun?

[@Bioshyn]

huh, i thought it was faster to teleport to gurranq to get to fort faroth, guess if you skip the flask of physick it's longer

[@Jizzan]

I guess it is, but he went for safety over speed

[@vyrdera]

17:04

[@Elmister60]

dude the commentator could be a death metal singer xDDD

[@iriasu1667]

Only one death, i would never.

[@siultreplaw2687]

I´m gonna watch this just to feel bad about myself xD

[@Ceeryni]

Why does he kill the Tree Sentinel in Limgrave?

[@lilgummy7348]

Tree Sentinel drops golden halberd for golden vow

[@evidicus]

Golden Vow weapon buff

[@KrisEnigma]

To get the weapon with Golden Vow

[@m4ndoz]

Golden Vow on the halberd

[@scalarmotion]

Drops Golden Halberd which has the Golden Vow skill on it

[@def1ance]

blanxz u Legend with 2 absolute legends also. SoulsSpeedruns in the best shape! Great Run dude! FrankerZ

[@sesh517]

11:00 I know they said it's a copypasta but does anyone have the context for this?

[@pebba7873]

why the hell would you spoil so much of the dlc if its a non dlc run, thx :(

[@R17759]

The guy hosting was excellent

[@silvertip11]

the impressions were so fun to listen to

[@spooksader]

Is the radahn stake skip not considered a glitch???

[@SkyP9812]

_Why are we all commenting in italics? /gen_

[@davemardrov777]

Bro the host is goated fr fr

[@dasWombat01]

Honest question: How is using stuff like the bow cancel "glitchless"? It clearly is an exploit and not the intended functionality of the game.

[@h3llhamza]

First.

[@imienazwisko8347]

Americans WHY?: In GDQ its YYYY-MM-DD but usually u write it MM/DD/YYYY but say DD/MM/YYYY?

[@TheLizardKingC]

Americans generally don't day DD/MM/YYYY. Americans typically say "July 6th, 2024" when speaking and not "6th of July, 2024"

[@xyzain_1827]

I have to say the speedrun is a walking simulator. Quite boring.

[@dankduelzperuvian]

Absolutely awful game but maybe the speedrun is good
