Elden Ring's DLC but I start with NOTHING

What if you started Elden Ring's DLC, Shadow of the Erdtree, at level 1 with an empty inventory? That's what this video is about.

​@@blakebolinger6091 not to be that guy, but you can actually get to mohg pretty early if you do varre's quest.

[@firekeeper1870]

@@glasletter3111 Same. Just explore well and it's not really too much of a challenge. The only bosses that took me more than ten tries were Rellana - but that's mainly because I hate fighting humanoid, human sized bosses that can't be staggered since they are generally designed in such a way that parries are your best bet, which I can't stand because I hate how the parries work in all FromSoft games bar DS1 and lastly I didn't know how the Deflecting Hardtear works, which really makes her child's play, so consequently didn't use it - and Radhan, but only because my friends made me think he's so incredibly tough that I turtled up immediately to the point where I was overburdened. Once I switched back to mid rolls - I mostly just kept the Greatshield - he was a child's play and went down in two tries.

[@TomasaurusrexQQ]

That was beautiful to watch! I have to say, this also was a perfect example of my main gripe with the DLC: a lot of the arenas do NOT work well for the boss size or boss movements. I've never had to fight the camera so hard before in Elden Ring, and it definitely wasn't a fun aspect of some of the fights. Especially with all the amazing animations, particle effects, move sets, etc., it felt really bad not being able to see half of it because the camera hits a wall, or they get close to you and suddenly you're staring at the sun or their butt. I genuinely had several instances of having to take an extended break from playing the DLC because I'd feel like I was going well in a fight (daddy dragon or daddy final boss to avoid spoilers) and suddenly the camera movement would immediately send me to the pits of hell.

[@katanagoose]

[@ayayron8221]

I was kinda irked that the DLC offered so many items like low tier smithing stones or gloveworts but now I’d like to think Michael Zaki knew people would do challenge runs like this so he peppered that shit in. Bless up to his enormous 5000 iq brain.

[@yunuss58]

Those low level stone were a blessing for me. Since I would constantly upgrade weapons I found. And even if I can buy them, it still saves me the runes

the low level stuff scattered around is so you can level up all the new weapons without having to spend too much at the merchant

[@ayayron8221]

@@yunuss58 I mean it only takes a couple minutes of albinauric genocide to top up your supply of runes so it's never been an issue for me in that regard

[@lucasimmons075]

Exactly! At first I hated finding low level stuff but then I went to upgrade some new stuff and saw I had like 40 of all the stones and suddenly it made sense. It would have been pointless if it was all 6 and 7. Some of the placements are still underwhelming though​@@yunuss58

[@Darkprosper]

@@dave7474 I mean, maybe from stones 5 or 6, but kill a couple of DLC enemies and you have enough runes to buy all the low-level stones you'll ever need from Roundtable Hold.

I'm on NG+4, my character is level 300, I blow through pretty much every boss in the base game and DLC. Took me three tries this last time to beat Malenia and I was like, "I can't believe I spent dozens of attempts on this boss before." I've thought about starting a new character so I can experience the grind again. Am I insane or just crazy? Gotta say, your videos inspire me to try new things. Elden Ring was my first Souls game, went back and played DS3 earlier this year and found it fairly easy as an Elden Ring player. So maybe I'm ready to just start over. Or just hang up my controller. I've beat Elden Ring a few times, I randomly help players beat the final 2 bosses as a summon because I realize they aren't that hard anymore and I like helping other desperate folks achieve victory (I never summoned players for any bosses, I literally just learned how to post my own summon sign). Maybe I've reached the end of gaming and my Satisfaction Flask is finally empty. Or maybe the end is just a new beginning?

This feels like a really unique challenge run (at least from what I've seen before) really good video!

You know Iron Pineapple is a masochist when you see him run in a corridor and get surprised by a scorpion-thing hidden in a corner that he would've obviously known was there if he had practiced before this challenge...Proving that he hadn't XD That was a great run and it's interesting to see how things feel different when you're approaching the DLC with a cruelly under leveled character. Really loved the demi-human mini boss fight. That was intense and this guy has a badass moveset. Also, how I love the Dancing Lion as a boss. Fromsoft did such an incredible job with it (as they did an incredible job with every bosses in this DLC, save maybe for the Scadutree spirit that was a bit meh for me).

One of my favorite things about this guy is that he knows when it’s time to just get good.

This was so fun to watch, and you managed to convince me to give beast claws a shot.

I picked up the Great Katana early and I've been using ever since--it feels very strong
