Beating every Elden Ring Legacy Dungeon using ONLY equipment found within 

They buffed light roll to carry you further in a patch over the summer. It makes Waterfowl Dance much easier to dodge if you have it.

Dragons are resistant to strike damage, so thats probably why Placidusax's fight was as much of a slog as it was

Just something to mention, the ripple blade and halberd are unique as they scale solely with arcane but can't be infused, because their intended use is to be a vessel for greeses, as most of them scale with arcane when applied

Dragonscale Blade is one of the coolest weapons in the game imo. What it lacks in damage it makes up for in edginess :D

Malenia's WFD was never nerfed, but the roll distance (most notably the light roll) is substantially greater now. it's such a treat to watch other people's strategies for dodging the move. this was a very engaging watch! thank you :^)

Stormveil is actually my favorite, simply because there's way way way more in it than you'd think. there's so many secrets that being summoned to guide players around it means I almost always show them something they've never seen before. You'd think such an early area would have a lot less going on but no, From Soft proves yet again that level design is their truest strength

I think a run where you use the same weapon type vs the boss would be fun. Great axe vs Godfrey but then switch to fists for his second phase ect

Aspect of the Crucible: Horns isn't really a damage spell. It has good poise damage and inflicts a knockdown on most human sized enemies, the kind where they get flung into the air before landing on their face.

I found your channel at just the right time during my Souls games kick. Your content is awesome. Also love the background music choices!

Awesome video again. You've become one of my favorite youtubers as of late. I like how you're a regular guy just sharing your love for these games, not playing a role for maximum views. Keep it real dude, happy 2023!

What worries me is that our baby seems to enjoy watching you play these games rather than watching In the Night Garden… Also 42:55 epic tune 👌🏼

22:30 woah that’s me! Super cool to make a surprise appearance (perhaps a bigger collab could be on the horizon? 🤔🤔🤔) and glad you also became a fan of the Bolt! I’ll also mention that the dragonkin weapons are both personal favourites as well. I enjoy all the legacy dungeons in the game but my top 3 would be Stormveil, the Academy, and then a tie between the Capital and Farum Azula. Love this series, and would certainly be interested to see similar runs in other games in the series. In most challenge runs I’ve done (SL1, magic only, bow only, etc) I ended up using only a handful of weapons at most. In fact, I’ve never even used a twinblade in DS2. Can you believe that? Speaking of DS2, I just started a new run and unintentionally managed to adhere to the challenge’s rules through the Forest of Fallen Giants. If you don’t mind, could I perhaps yoink this idea and do a DS2 video on it? Would be certain to credit the idea to you

Nice man. First video. Very professional, funny but not trying to hard. Not too much language and good editing balanced with restraint. Great stuff!

That final Malenia kill was 🔥🔥

That "are you still here?" at the end got me, because I bolted to search for the song before continuing lol

Maaaan In the Night Garden is a series of trips. Fond of that show but I have no idea how we had fun with it back then. Great vid sir

Top 3 legacy dungeons (not just in elden ring but the whole series for me): 1. Leyndell 2. Stormveil 3. Farum Azula

I love it whenever you post a new video. You're quickly becoming my favorite souls RU-vidr!

All of your videos are so entertaining. Thank you for making them! I do video editing so I know how frustrating that can be sometimes, so I'm very appreciative you power through on top of coming up with ideas and scripts for your videos on top. Cheers!

loved your channel man, you got video ideas that i've never seen anywhere and the attention that you have with your subscribers, like, you answered every comment, thats crazy. You got a new sub, keep doing these type of videos

By far your best video my dude, hope you continue to make stuff like this!

Best challenge run video I’ve ever seen, you kept me engaged the whole time. Your wholesome dad voice is awesome!

Just found your channel Reaaaaaally good video. Enjoyable and interesting tto see all those different weapons you dont nofmally see Great job!

Yesssssss, I've been waiting for this one. Awesome!!

Its nice to see someone else who likes Placidusax! My personal faiv is Mohg, second faiv is Godfrey and 3rd is Placidusax. I personaly do enjoy the valiant gargoyles for some reason. Its kinda fun to multi task. A great video i hope to watch more!

Ah but the highlander axe is so good! "Just an axe" undersells it so much! Most of the other axes in the game require much higher stats to wield and can't be infused with everything like the highlander. Plus it does a TON of poise damage with its two handed jump attacks. It's literally my friend's single weapon he uses through the whole game.

Very enjoyable video, great job!

Great video as always! I may try this challenge for myself

Yooo I’m so glad the algorithm recommended your channel to me! Love the run and love your music choice. Also definitely remember watching In the Night Garden when I was a kid so that’s a fun reference😂

They did nerf Waterfowl just a little bit, the hitbox on the second flurry is shorter, so you have to be less perfect with your dodge.

Love the video dude enjoyed it all

It's hard for me to pick an all-time favorite legacy dungeon, but I'd have to say it's a tie between Nokron and the Shunning Grounds. I love Nokron because it's one of the most visually striking areas in the game for me. The ruins strewn about the place, that false night sky, the eerie droning music. It's all so beautiful. The Shunning Grounds I love mostly for the lore surrounding it. Learning of all the dirty secrets and refuse of the current Order that were locked up in the sewers was fascinating. From the Omen to the mass caravan grave and Frenzy Flame Proscription. Even the Dung Eater, my favorite Elden Ring NPC, is found here.

I looked at the likes and was offended when it wasn’t over 5k lmao, great videos! they are super high quality and great to watch/listen to

Very nice video, I never thought of trying something like this (only using what you find in an area in said area).

What's funny about this endgame is, for my first playthrough, I mostly used the Starscourge Greatswords, and I struggled a /ton/ with Radagon and I don't think I ever made it to Elden Beast. Eventually, I switched to a primarily strength-based build, with Godfrey's axe as the weapon, and managed to get through in just a few more tries afterwards.

the dragon halberd is really cool as if you use the special twice in a row (directly after the first spin slash) you get a cool attack that deals huge damage

My fav boss and my childhood show together, what a blessing!

This Video was absolutely entertaining to watch, liked it very much. Great Game, Great Video.

Good job on the run, was entertaining!

lets go, i love this series :D

"Leyndell, Royal Capital" is probably my favorite legacy dungeon.

walking towards phony mohg in dungeater's armor while overloaded gave me a great giggle

Another great video!

THis is Honestly really cool, love the idea. when i get my pc fixed to play elden ring might try do something like this myself. defiently a well earned Subscribe

Stormveil Castle is special to me as the first legacy dungeon and just overall a fun experience to get into the game with. Leyndell is probably my favorite overall if we don’t count the sewers, it just made the world actually look lived in. Considering I quit partway through out of anger, I’m surprised at how much I actually love Halingtree, it feels like the most visually interesting dungeon and something about it pleases me. Maybe it’s because I’m finally in my ideal armor set with dual +10/25 weapons, but it could just be a nice place to visit.

"As if he had infinite FP" It's almost as if, say, the all knowing guy has a lot of mind. ;) Great video tho, and a super cool concept that really does highlight a lot of cool details!

When I fought the regal ancestor spirit halfway through the fight it used the teleport move but accidentally teleported out of the arena and after about a minute of sitting there boss hp bar dissapears and it gives the rememberace

man i hoped u put a eminem picture up when you talked about shaded Castle XD still nice video loved the other one with the minor dungeon

dear god I forgot in the night garden existed, that stuff was my childhood hearing it mentioned in an Elden ring video of all things was in fact unexpected

The Serpentbone Blade's Charged R2 is my favorite R2 in the whole game. It's a double slash faster than Double Slash AOW and does real good damage with the axe Talisman and gives the Sword Insignia boost immediately

amazing video!!!

GOATed challenge run

I got a vid idea that I'm pretty interested in for you to tackle should you want to, the balancing of end game areas in FromSoft games. Generally, the amount of limiting mechanics to hinder the player tend to increase immensely when in endgame areas. - Ds1: Dukes Archives just spawns a ton of basic human crystal enemies with high damage with archers and mages hitting you from range. Crystal caves have invisible walkways with enemies that can knock you off. You can't see shit in the Tomb of the Giants. Lost Izalith just wasn't finished but is also not that interesting. - Ds 2: Dragonpeak is forcing you to fight the giants or an army of strong damaging dragon enemies with insane damage. Shrine of Amana has you walking in water with those mages firing at you and the Undead Tombs have those bell ringing summoned mages and an army in front of the boss fog (not to mention the optional areas in the DLC). - Ds 3: DS3: the Jailors reduce your max hp to pretty much zero with limited options to counter it. Disneyland has the amount of enemies made much higher with a lot of dogs, supported by invisible enemies and those strong fire mages. Instead of one you fight 2 Pontiff beasts. Archdragon Peak has flying Wyverns and some Chainsnake type enemies that have enormous range, health and damage. - Elden Ring: Haligtree has gravity Elphael has some incredibly tanky spear dudes which mostly come in pairs and are supported by ballistas. Normal enemies pretty much deal a third to half of a 40 vigor healthbar in one swing. The Evergoal that takes you to the Haligtree has insane DPS Mage Archers with the black Assassins who spam grab attacks with high HP (they are pretty much impossible to kill without the torch). In Farum Azula they have a ton of birds with a Dragon spewing Lighting and some of the Dragon Warriors have crazy long combos which can be dodged but with some bad RNG they do them multiple times causing you to just roll away and wait (mostly the double sword ones). - Bloodborne has the poison swamp areas, frenzy nightmare and the shark well (the trauma) I short, I feel like designing those end game areas can be really tricky, especially with time constraints and balance in mind. What would your idea for a good Souls endgame be? Just increasing the damage that basic enemies do to 100 doesn't really work imo. Something like adding bosses from the early game as a regular enemy could work but does take away a bit from the experience and uniqueness of said boss. Curious what your take on this would be : )

I truly didn’t think i’d hear about In The Night Garden in an Elden Ring video

I love the IG-88 reference

man you have showed me that I have not found so many things within these dungeons, I didn’t even know there was a dragon kin soldier in siofra river

In the night garden was my childhood bro:)

Just as good as the previous video. Really excited for more potential challenge runs. Though, just wanted to point out, there are only 6 developer stated Legacy Dungeons. Stormveil, Raya Lucaria, Volcano Manor, Leyndell, Farum, and Haligtree. The rest are just major dungeons or underground areas. Other than that, really great video. edit: Ironic that so many people think that shunning grounds is bad, considering it's the closest they've gotten to recreating Ds1's style of world design. I think it's more the enemies, less the level.

One thing really good about about Miquellan Knight Sword against Malenia (one that I used against her recently) is the R2, where you can use that to land a charged attack on Malenia from a distance after some combo finishers to close in the gap between yourself and her while also dealing damage. Really fun weapon to use against her despite dealing Holy Damage. Also the quick, uncharged R2 is also a fun tool to counter her kick with the right timing since she’d lose her hyperarmour right after the kick attack for you to counter her right before she continues her combo

My cheese: Little Carian Swords (forget name) and a high bleed weapon. Mimic tear if I'm having trouble. Timed right, you'll keep stunning most bosses through the sheer amount of hits... or however that works.

Great work

Epic video ma boi

The bolt of gransax and the dragon kings cragblade have the best ashes of war. I was doing a int build on my first play through and i beat the game but then i learned about those weapons and started another play-through pretty much immediately. I put 85 hours onto my dex play-through. Easily my favorite ashes of war in the game

Something I just thought of but wouldn’t by your logic during the volcano manor quest line the one assassination that takes you into the capital there also have been considered part of that legacy dungeon therefore able to be used in the capital?

You sounded genuinely grateful for some very mild weapons, because anything is better than nothing. good lesson about how we need to be aware of context so we can avoid depression

Editing thing: for me at least, you tend to remove images too quickly for the reference or joke or info to really land. From personal experience I know it may seem like you're keeping them on screen for too long, but that's because you already know what they are, where they are, and why they're there. What I did to figure out good timing was to watch some favorite videos with this style and literally time how long they leave things on screen. I think I ended up nearly doubling the amount of time my images stayed up. A good example is your Raya Lucaria joke. It would land better visually if the images went up sequentially as you say the syllables, and also if you were standing still in the gameplay so the two things didn't fight for visual priority. Love the video!

I'm pretty sure mimic tears stats are based off your own so it likely died so quick cause your hp wasn't that high, great video btw earned a sub for sure

The way you said whip and torch run sounded like whip and torture.

wanna say, crucible horn is one of my favorite spells as it annihilates anyone that is roughly your size. Sadly Godrick is too chonky for it to really shine, so I hope you give it another go

Using Demise's boss theme for the last area in the video? Based

Actually whips are not that bad, they stagger ennemy quite well because they have the same "stagger value" that the greatsword category weapons.

The dragons halberds spinning slash has two inputs and the second one does great damage.

Hand of Malenia is a good weapon. It would come in handy if it weren’t for the challenge rules. This weapon is for people who prefer a more hands on approach to combat. What makes it satisfying to use is the fact that it isn’t handed to you and you have to earn it. The reason for this comment is that I had a lot of hand puns I wanted to share. Keep up the good work great run as always.

My biggest Elden Ring flex will always be beating the valiant gargoyles NG+2 with no PC summons while being on 3.5 grams of psilocybin mushrooms 😅 it was definitely something

In the Night Garden is more terrifying than anything From Software has ever made.

Man the fact that you did this without respecs is very respectable.

I believe the thing with aspect of the horn crucible spell is that it lift human-sized enemies off the ground and throw them. So I assume it won't be that useful against giant bosses.

You were surprised about the whip being able to stagger leonine misbegotten, but that thing (and whips in general) has some seriously shocking stagger lmao. When I first tried out a whip in my game it was staggering Omens, and from that point on I was sold on them as a weapon type. The damage and speed aint great but they’re real fun to use as an offhand weapon for zoning out enemies.

the envoy's longhorn it's honestly OP against half the bossfights, just not the ones that dodge a lot like Loretta. I even killed Placidussax before he could even start phase 2 cause the bubbles hit him multiple times as they fly through him (just don't lock on and stick to his side) and that was without the bubble-boosting headgear

Really great.

The crucible horn is pretty good with high faith

bro just gave me flashbacks of nam, reminding me of In The Night Gsrden

Try a power stances great rapier run with cragblade and blood helice, it’s really freakin fun

Waiting for the torch and whip run

Duel greatspears is so much fun shame you couldn't try it in the run

the strenght of the ripple halberd is not it's base damage or it's high arcane scaling but is actualy the fact that is one of the three only weapons in the game that has arcane scaling and can use greases on, at 60 arcane the blood grease does 94 bleed build up while the drawn string gets to 121

fun fact, man serpents are completely immune to fire damage, thats why it could stand in rykards pool with no issues

For the Ashen Capital: The weapon wouldn't have been a problem, because you can still find the Cane Sword

Some areas in Elden Ring feel like one team was making the enemies, another team was responsible for placing them, and the two teams had zero communication

Cant believe you tried the Axe of Godfrey without even so much as mention the aow

crucible horns are absolutely busted against humanoid enemies, if you fully charge it they get flung into the air and you can sometimes stunlock them its also good for stance breaking

Circus tamer run would be epic

Mimic tear works best when you don't ignore leveling vigor. He shares hp along with other stats.

The shoulder charge is really best against humanoid enemies cause a fully charged one can launch them

My first full playthrough of elden ring was a no-magic, all physicality build. High vig, end, str, dex, and nothing else. Full heavy armor with medium rolling, a crossbow in the back pocket for range, and 2 maxed Commander's Standards. Basically, when you said dual-weilding halberds is great? Yes. Yes it is. 🤣

Great video man, really interesting challenge. FYI 'Niall' is an Irish name pronounced 'Nile' (like the river).

The whip staggering the Leonine Misbegotten is actually intentional, like a lion tamer

About the Sword of Night and Flame: IIRC they nerfed it into the ground where it couldn't even reliably kill mob enemies with the Flame part of its name. But recently the buffed it up just a tad again. So that's probably why it doesn't feel like it's nerfed lol.

yeah that cragblade is easily capable of one cycling both godrick and radahn lol i love it

What a legend
