Can You Beat Elden Ring WITHOUT Attacking? (Pacifist Run)

Btw, in Raya Lucaria, you also get Azur’s Staff. When you hold the staff in the hand opposite your sacred seal, it functions like the Saint’s Tree Bellvine from DS3 and greatly increases casting speed. When you combine it with the Radagon’s Icon, you achieve the maximum possible casting speed.

[@Diogenes.of.Sinope]

@@lukashagen4776 the way that both Azur's staff and Radagon's icon work is they add virtual dex to your casting speed, 40 levels for the staff and 30 for the icon iirc, and the dex bonus to casting speed caps at level 70, making a combination of both actually slightly overkill as you'll still have some actual dex on your build regardless of starting class, pushing you over the hardcap for casting speed.

[@tarkhantarkus]

And? Your point is?

[@P1ntable]

Fun fact! There's actually a second summoning spot you can use on the other side of the mountain in the Fire Giant fight! A really great summon to use is Latenna the Albinauric as the giant is too far away to attack you but with her insane attack range she can hit him! It's also faster than the Ancestral summon because she fires 3 shots of magic damage at a time. I know you skipped and then beat him but just so you know!

[@ordinarytree4678]

The fact that latenna doesnt waste time moving around makes her among the top 5 ashes just from that. Combined with her great damage from any range is just even better.

[@proffessorh]

I used latenna on almost all my bosses, ever since I got her. She got insane dps

[@Maseiken]

I think you need to kill the mob near Latenna to get her ashes? probably not hard to path them off a cliff in that area though

[@OniDemo]

@@Maseiken Its a boss you have to fight to get to Latenna, but you can spirit summon for it so it wouldn't be an issue.

There's a sorcery/incantation called 'Tibia's Summons' where you can spawn skeletons. I assume you could stack this with your spirits and also use them where you cannot normally summon. Would've been handy in some parts!

It's not actually a summon it's a projectile in the shape of angry skeletons. I looked at this for my own purposes. I also tried to see if Torrent can deal damage with dropping on things since he is not I, but alas he cannot.

The Mimic Tear is still the best. Even after the damage nerf, you can use things like bleed, Black Flame, and even the Black Knife/Maliketh's weapon to do boss-hp scaling damage. Proving that the best ally if yourself.

It also has infinite consumables, so giving it a single Raw Meat Dumpling and Uplifting Aromatic will give it an infinite supply of them, and you can also have it wield just one weapon with Erdtree Heal so it heals itself more.

[@Lost1ntheSauc3]

You should try the dung eater summon.

[@UnreasonableOpinions]

The Mimic Tear nerf was desperately needed. It's better to play now, since you have to put genuine consideration into how you want the mimic to play if you want it to perform on the level of other potent summons.

It seems much simpler to just use an upgraded mimic tear with prayerful strike. The strike heals % hp and the mimic has your vigor + bonus from leveling it. So when it spams the weapon art it heals a ridiculous amount on its own.
