Beating all Elden Ring Field Bosses using ONLY equipment they drop

A pretty whacky challenge run video for Elden Ring, the conclusion to my Elden Ring equipment variety run trilogy!!
Here, I need to beat every Elden Ring Field Boss using only equipment they drop. If a Field Boss drops a weapon, I MUST switch to using it. For example, I kill Tree Sentinel, it drops Golden Halberd, I use that to beat Agheel, now I must use Agheel's Flame and so on.
Hope you enjoy this video and leave a comment below to let me know your favourite Elden Ring Field Boss (if you even have any!!)

Thank you! They were fun to make and I'm glad you liked them 😃

[@StanleyG23]

This was great. I really liked the puns this time around. All in all, I really like runs like these because they just make the player try out a lot of different weapons and spells they wouldn't normally use.

[@JKLeeds]

I really like them as well! When I first play these games, I often end up using one or two weapons and that's it. This kinda thing forces me to try stuff outside my comfort zone! Glad you liked the video 🤗

[@Almonds-hn8sr]

I always love finding elden ring challenge runs that use spirit ashes, they’re a part of the game and everyone looks down on them, they make the game way too easy which is why I get why people don’t use them and why I don’t use them myself (unless a boss summons stuff or is a 2v1) but in runs like this you need all the help you can get

Yeah they were 100% necessary for this run

The fact you did the last fight with your fists made me so happy. I saw you walking up to it with all the gear and I was like, "The final boss is more deserving of a man to man fight, use your fists" and you truly came out on top.

[@MorizonPlays]

Has anyone done all 165 bosses, but switched to whatever weapon the boss used after every boss? Ngl that would probably be less painful than this challenge because you can use solid weapons like the staff of the avatar, nightriders halberd and Marais executioner sword multiple times

[@JKLeeds]

Probably but the pain is half the fun 😂

[@weirdybeardystuff9261]

I think distortion did a run killing all 165 bosses with a different weapon/spell/incant for each but not specifically the weapon/spell/incant that the boss drops.

[@octimaspn812]

not sure if you knew this or someone else has said this but the godslayer greatswords ash of war has a follow up which is another swing. also the reason the gargoyle sword damage was so high on the deathbird was cos it deals holy damage which deathbirds are very weak to. anyways other than that, great video with an amazing conclusion

30:51 that was an honest-to-god good pun. Well done. 37:10 all jokes aside, the concept of the Fallingstar Beast Jaw reminds me of Samson, the long-haired biblical strongman. It’s said that he once slew a thousand men with just a donkey’s jawbone, so that’s why. 43:59 you can actually circle around the avatar when it does that attack! The rotten sludge (?) only sprays out in front of it.

[@JKLeeds]

Yeah I only learned that recently re the avatars! I thought the rot went everywhere. Glad you enjoyed the vid friend 😊

[@TheFrontLines955]

Grafted Scion tip: when he does his jump attack roll under him, free shot

[@HeavenlyHavoc]

Tip for the putrid avatars: you don't have to run from their rot attack butt slam. Stick close and dodge roll once to their side to the slam then immediately roll again to get behind. The rot only goes forward in a triangle so you'll be out of the rot entirely this way

[@darthplagueis13]

[@SandboxforAircraft]

For Dealing with the putrid avatars' jumping rot attacks, i suggest running to their sides and rolling once they fall to avoid the rot completely as well as having a huge opening. I hope this helps with beating a not so difficult boss faster.

[@JKLeeds]

Good to know! I actually thought the rot sprayed all around them, not just in front so that is really handy!

[@Hopeful_Husker]

Here a little late, but it was worth the wait! Another well done challenge, brother 🍻 long may the sun shine! Edited to include a dad joke of my own: JK: The Elden Lord will decide your fate. Tree Sentinel: I *AM* the Elden Lord! JK: Not. Yet. TS: *brandishes halberd* It’s tree-son, then.

Based on their Minor Dungeon video, I think they count the Black Knife Assassin as being part of the dungeon that it's outside

[@Gamer3427]

@@genericname6505 Good to know. I was wondering about that as well, since I'd definitely consider it a field boss, but I couldn't remember if it had a boss health bar and maybe that was why he skipped it if it didn't.

[@JKLeeds]

Yeah so have to confess, way back when I made these videos, I for some reason thought you couldn't get into the Hero's Grave without killing the Black Knife Assassin which I now know of course is not the case, but that's the reason I counted it as part of the dungeon at the time.

[@Gamer3427]

@@JKLeeds Ah, that makes sense. I imagine most players wouldn't even try to enter the dungeon without killing it unless they specifically just wanted something from in there, so it's understandable to not realize you even could.
