Funfact : that radagon soreseal in the end actually truly maxed out your strength! Strength is the only stat that isnt capped to 99. You can't level past 99 and it won't show in the menu, but strength enhancing stuff in the game can put you to up to 150. So two handing a weapon at 99 str means you have 148 effective strength, 2 less than max. Also without 2 handing, you can get up to 129 str with strenght heirloom, strength tear, radagon soreseal godrick rune and grafted greatsword buff ! Pretty niche and useless info but still cool imo

[@Jeff.Turtle]

Oh hay, I've done this. Was wondering when you would get to STR only. I didn't find it too hard for the most part. Strength builds are amazing in ER. (This is me pre-video) I'm interested to see what challenges you found and how our methods differ. My biggest problem was "Giant Crusher Heavy, encumbrance value low" YEUP, you're having the same problem. BREAK OUT THE ONE SHOT UNGA-BUNGA STICK! For anybody else doing this challenge : Tip 1 : Despite meeting requirements for your weapons, DON'T get mimic tear. Low HP + melee + Mimic AI = dead mimic Tip 2 : You have so little HP, skip ritual sword and get red-feather branchsword. The extra 10% can be the difference between a one shot or death. Tip 3 : While slower charged power attack buffing gets you more single shot damage than jump attacks. If you don't mind grinding out boss openings, or you know movesets and can figure out what moves to punish, a charged R2 build can 1-2 shot most bosses (without going buff crazy) Tip 4 : BUFF! You need that protein, even the holy kind. This goes extra well with the above tip to get you into a one shot build. No, you don't need to level any other stats to get the best buffs if you're smart with equipment and consumables. This is the most try-hard tip of all time and kind of turns the game into a boring grind for stuff, so unless you are specifically doing a "one-shot only challenge" I suggest just settling with some basic buffs and be ok with 2-3 shotting everything. Tip 5 : I think it keeps the spirit of the run, so for an easier time once you hit 99 str level endurance for equip load. Tip 6 : Unless you want the extra challenge, just level vigor to 40-60 when you hit the STR soft cap of 60 (you will probably around the time you reach the plateau naturally). The extra str for weapon scaling past 60 does almost nothing. (Then you can use mimic and laugh as you two slaughter everything) FUN FACT : Leveling strength only, without zip glitches (or other major glitches), you can 1-2 shot every boss in the game. (that's 1-2 shot per phase, such as fire giants cutscene transition) This has been a message from a founding member of the Iron Temple. "See you at the Gym bros."

[@Powersd451]

I think the problem with the crit on Fire Giant is that the Knight's resolve boosts only the next hit, and the crit consists of 2 hits, the first being a lot weaker. If the 2nd hit was also boosted, it would hit a lot harder.
