1 Question in Ordina the liturgical town couldn’t u have equipped the family heads in your off hand to get-off the weapon art instantly, and have torch in main hand?

[@nothanks9503]

Elden ring without stamina you mean my first play through being new the the dark souls series I almost never put any points into vigor or endurance or strength all mind and focus babyyyy just don’t get hit ever

I love how now several months out, people have such an all inclusive understanding of ER mechanics and gear, that you can plan these sort of challenge runs. I haven’t played it since June, but seeing all this is a perfect reminder of why I played it for 160 hours and why it’s hands down the best game I’ve played in years.

[@Gametendo360]

Agree with your preference of puzzle-based challenges over combat ones. It shows just how many tools tricks and clever strategies the player truly has.

[@ENCHANTMEN_]

My favorite challenges are ones where it's a genuine question of IF it's possible, rather than how hard it is.

[@Spectrallian]

That’s what I love the most about gimmick fights, that don’t only require you to press r1 r1 or using only consumables, it’s really funny to fight in a different way sometimes

[@2fakind358]

something that might have made the rykard fight easier: mimic tear cannot be afflicted with status whatsoever. it also doesn't consume the items you give it when it uses them, meaning you can give it a raw meat dumpling and it'll have infinite healing.

[@iliasalice6322]

Mimic tear can be bled out and deathblight afflicted though

[@thebrotacogamer2944]

You can also have it use the uplifting aromatics, which lets it take free hits, as well as giving you that buff too. The bonus damage is good too.

[@2fakind358]

Never thought I'd see a run where Malenia is easy and the Elden Beast is hard. Your tips for Ordina might help me, as I'm doing a "stealth run" that also involves avoiding combat with enemies.

[@chumbeat770]

Something to know, the sentry torch's effect is just by having it out in an active slot, you can have it on your back and two handing another weapon and keep black knives revealed.

[@tcyb]

also can appply no skill ash of war on torch and use right handed weapon's ash of war

[@theuselessknight6021]

Hey Kyle, really enjoyed the video. The run itself, the editing, the soundtrack choices, the narration, but the thing I liked the most is the storytelling, the feeling of a puzzle being solved throughout. Thank you!

[@cuddlequeen3225]

I gotta say the videography of your videos is superb. It really feels like you are telling a story and props to you completing another one! (The challenge and the video.)

[@morphalta2074]

Ahh yes, the "Videography" Such an eloquent word!

[@cuddlequeen3225]

[@Jeff.Turtle]

I love how this video is the best description that "skill" can mean almost anything. Does skill mean : "The ability to memorize and react to all enemy attacks" ~OR~ "The ability to look at ones tools and come into any fight with the best plan regardless of what the enemy does" ~OR~ "The ability to mash things together is such a way that the game best itself" Great video, loved how you turn these action-adventure RPGs into puzzle games.

[@hjhjkhfkfkd]

The first one, we already have words like "clever" or "resourceful" for the other two. I win.

[@johnnyd.1004]

Seeing you brute force your way through that thorns run was nothing short of awe-inspiring. I certainly wouldn't mind seeing an extended take on this attempt.

[@FriFreeman]

This is genuinely the one of the best elden ring challenge run I've ever seen. Probably my second favorite elden ring challenge I've ever seen.

[@grfrjiglstan]

Finally, someone recognizes the power of Vow of the Indomitable. It's basically portable I-frames without all the hassle that rolling brings. Slapping that bad boy on a shield helped get me though my torch only run, since it's the most reliable way to avoid Radagon's triple slam.

[@Ghorda9]

you can avoid his tripple slam by just running to the side and jump whenever he hits the ground.

[@grfrjiglstan]

[@dragonlord1935]

That's pretty much this game in a nutshell. Too high boss damage leading to instant one or two shots even with high health. Sad to see that this passes off as good balance these days.

[@solaire6444]

Loved the first no-stamina run and this video took that and cranked it up to 11! Great job man keep up the amazing work!

[@michaelmaguire4147]

49:45 the torch actually works if it's on your back. (don't know if this was a 1.08 change or not.)

[@vollkommen1982]

It's always worked just sitting on your back as far as I can recall.

[@becomingsentient1208]

Not a recent change, seems totally intended. It just has to be "active" in one of your hands.

[@jrmungandr_4404]

Just a quick correction about the ordina evergeol and the sentinel torch: the effect that lets you see the invisible black knife assassins still works while the torch is on your back while youre 2handing the weapon in your other hand

[@IRLNickOckward]

Failing that, you can also put the familial heads in your off-hand. While dual wielding, the weapon art on your left weapon will always be used. Think of it as the heavy attack of your off-hand.

[@dylanh8163]

@@IRLNickOckward that’s actually wrong, the right weapon art is prioritized unless the left is a parry. You’d need no skill on the right to use the left AoW. I’m powerstancing with different AoW weapons right now and I have to change out which is left or right based on the AoW I want readily available

I love your challenge runs and they’re really well edited but if you’d ask me I think the thumbnail(s) can be overlooked quite easily. Theres no big contrast in colors and mostly text. Of course it would be dumb if I personally had a problem with that but it maybe could lead to less views than what the video actually deserves. I’m no expert tho others might not agree. Either way great run as always man.

Oh~, next time sounds like torture. Can't wait! And great work on the no stamina run, too!

[@antoinecazayus3176]

Clearly the best "From Software challenge run" youtube channel, from content to editing. Always fun to watch !

[@zhaf]

Maybe you didn’t know. But the Mimic Tear can heal itself with raw dumplings if you have them equipped in your inventory. Since the Mimic can’t get poisoned it doesn’t have any downsides when it eats them to heal. Also have you considered having the mimic using more incantations and sorceries? Like Dragonmaw and Ancient Dragons' Lightning Strike are both very good against Radagon and Elden Beast. But I don't know if the Mimic AI will be smart enough to use them correctly.

[@eliaspanayi3465]

Giving mimic the antspur rapier and rot breath or ekzykes decay sounds like it would be incredibly powerful since it can do rot buildup from any range

[@nuffly893]

That also has the funny effect of causing your Mimic In the Boss Fight to poison itself since it isn't a phantom.

[@archimedes8276]

Awesome run my dude, can appreciate all the hard work and research that went into it!!

[@swordmastersam483]

If you wanted to kill the Black Knife Assassins in the Evergaol of Ordina, the torch still applies its invisibility breaking effect when you 2-hand your weapon, it just doesn't shed any light.

[@ForeverLaxx]

For some reason, people seem to think you have to do the "hold torch up" thing for it to work.

[@pyro9984]

I can’t imagine how much time and effort this took.Phenomenal job and I would love to see the extended version explaining the processes👍

[@slynt_]

Using Shabriri's Woe on Mimic tear and unequipping it was genius. Great run, very enjoyable to watch

[@ForeverLaxx]

Not sure I'd call a common tactic for ranged-focused builds "genius."

[@texpendable]

The only thing that I think could've made the final fight a little easier is taking advantage of the poise damage that phalanx does.

[@Strawberrytoasty]

It was crazy how mimic tear came in clutch with the poise break. It’s always awesome seeing mimic tear carry fights.

[@aGrimTurtle]

Dude, the quality and production of this video is insane. I’m so glad KZbin recommended this to me.

[@Will-ge9rr]

Kind of unrelated but Crocodile Cacophony is sick. DKC and DKC2 have absolutely amazing soundtracks. David Wise is a genius.

[@kamikaze4172]

57:23 you could say an entirely different beast. That being said, "the poise break that sealed the fate of a God" is probably the most badass wording for a boss fight

So question? Why didn't you use perfumes like the Uplifting Aromatic It doesn't consume stamina in combat and its buff is an AoE that can be casted on allies like the Mimic Tear, in addition when equipped in your pouch your mimic tear can potentially gain a copy It gives a rather nice damage buff plus the effects of the opaline bubble tear
