I think it's hilarious that the answer to the alphabetical question is always no and yet these are some of the best challenge runs I've seen.

@a.randomguy950 Год назад

It's impressive how many bosses the answer is "Yes" for, though. I mean in this game the only 2 bosses that ARENT beatable are the 2 very final bosses who don't even spawn till you kill the prior bosses.

Dragonrider The Old Dragonslayer Scorpioness Najka (Buy Melentia's FBoY) Royal Rat Vanguard (with enough HP and/or Silvercat Ring) The Rotten DragonriderS Fucking DARKLURKER (No, really, Grandahl isn't behind any bosses.)

I feel like with the multiple-enemy bosses that it would’ve been acceptable to kill them all after you’d killed them in the intended alphabetical order In simpler terms, if you’ve already gone through the list normally, if you end up killing the last of the multiple enemies, just go ahead and kill the others

@blindsloth364 Год назад

this way you have to worry about getting around the fight again even after you beat it, and thats just more of the challenge

@monhi64 17 дней назад

It mostly just kills me the way creators act like there is a chance the challenge run they crafted is impossible. Like no one clicks on a “can you beat elden ring with only bows” video thinking it’s up in the air, no we know it’ll be hard but obviously feasible. So at least it’s kinda nice that these vids are legit and actually impossible sometimes. I really can’t recall a single “can you beat” vid that ended up impossible out of the hundreds I’ve seen (not counting this)

@richardgauvin8293 Год назад

"that brings us to the Fume Knight..." I couldn't help but laugh out loud. What a wild way to run the game. Cheers to all the work for our nerdy entertainment.

@SpuddyCube Год назад

Holy heck, that was incredible. I hope that the run felt half as good to finish as it did to watch. Nothing quite like having to repeat frame perfect bugs, manage out of bounds navigation on a time limit, and sequence break your way through a marathon of bosses that are themselves already difficult. Absolutely amazing, as always.

@Cromagen Год назад

What the hell man? This is insane, you never cease to surprise me with the techniques and methods you apply! Fantastic work, I can't even imagine how much effort went into this. Great video again! Love your content! Easily one of the best challenges I've seen done in these games!

@Estus1999 Год назад

I appreciate the commitment but I really want to you to know that many of us won't mind if you killed the bosses that have multiple like the prowling magus and the congregation after defeating them in order. for example if you killed the congregation, left until the magus then killed the congregation again (as it's still first alphabetically) then killed the prowling magus in the same fight. or if you feel like you've already killed the congregation and leaving them for after the magus that works too.

I suppose this would cut down on the cool tricks, but I always felt that having to kill each boss exactly once wasn't right. It felt more like the fun of the challenge was avoiding bosses until they came up in the order, but once you've reached them you've sorta unlocked them.

@Poolio_10 9 месяцев назад

I'll be honest, these videos are great and the only thing I'd change is a minor modification to the multiple bosses rule, where when fighting the last boss for a fight, all other bosses in the fight must also die. You'd still fight them in order and leave, just once the last boss is reached in the order, all the others must be killed again. For example, congregation would be killed once on it's own, then again when the priest fight comes up. Just my opinion tho, lord knows I don't have the skill or patience for anything like this

I personally feel that, for bosses that are actually just multiple bosses stacked in a trench coat, you can kill all of them in 1 run, but only on your last run. So, for the congregation bit, you kill the congregation, leave, then eventually come back and kill both, though with congregation first. Or, you kill the Afflicted Grave robber, leave, kill the Ancient Soldier, leave, then kill Afflicted Graverobber, Ancient Soldier, and Cerah in 1 run.
