Can You Beat Elden Ring Using Dragon Cult Incantations Only? 

They nailed lighting in this game, but wish there’s was more cool lighting weapons like bolt of gransaxs

My favorite thing about Souls challenge runners is how often they collab and cameo with each other. Guess a little "jolly cooperation" goes a long way Great run, and amazing commentary. Every pun made me die a little inside and I loved it :3

We definitely need more lightning incants in this DLC

Great video, love these incantations. One thing about that Malenia fight, the reason she was using waterfowl a lot is because using spells resets the waterfowl countdown, so she might end up spamming it against caster builds if you get unlucky. I'm currently trying to defeat her with carian slicer and it's hell because of that mechanic

Nice video again. Love these creator collabs, whatever form they take. RU-vid is full of these challenge runs but they’re still fun to watch because of how each person puts their own personality on display.

Hey, The cul.... sorry I mean the friendship should have invited Gwyn Lord of sunlight too

Sad thing is that the Gargoyles would've likely been easier than the Mogh+Parkour path. The other and actual sad thing is that the armor you chose for its drip was actually Dragon Communion. The fun thing is that the other canvas talisman is an 8% boost, the total is a little over 12%.

Since someone already mentioned the erdtree seal I'll mention that the godfrey icon boosts lightning spear and ADLS. Also, you can pretty much stunlock Gideon with Fortisaxx's Lightning Spear.

Jsut a tip for any any pure caster type runs in elden ring. You should use the erdtree seal because it has better incant scaling and the gravel seal still provides the boost in the offhand.

Honestly, a lot of the puns in other videos don’t always land for me, but this vid? They struck gold. Great work

Haven't seen one mention it, but you could have gotten the faith talisman early on for easier stat requirement and a slight boost in damage.

For any future build where you cant do damage at the start, you should go for that one nights cavalry in dragonbarrow you can bait off a cliff. Gives 42k so its basically the dragonrider of this game

I really hope we see more ice lightning, the dragon halbert has been one of my new go to weapons after only just finding it on a new playthrough 550 hours in lol, I’m still finding shit I didn’t even know existed

The click-clock-wood music from banjo kazooie as he goes into deeproot depths was A+

I think that, for the Rykard fight, you can use Endure or the poise flask and tank enough to cast the full ancient dragon carpet bombing

I love that the left side of the screen only says "No Skill"

You only needed 13 faith at the beginning if you used the two fingers talisman and the faith boosting tear

Mr Carl T. Leader is such a nice guy for inviting you to his friend group! He totally didn't do it just because his first choice got stuck in an Evergaol and he had to find someone else who just happened to be you. I'm sure he absolutely wanted to invite you specifically, not anyone with a Vyke-ish sounding name or something.

im doing a run as thor and i needed a setup guide thank you so much i also love ur content

Lightning pretty, fast, has good range, versatility and do big damage. Therefore, lightning is very good indeed.

That intro was so hype! I already know you can beat this game with just lightning incantations, but It's gonna be interesting seeing what methods you use

I hope that "that'll cost you extra" at the end was a doom wolf reference, because I absolutely adore that video lol

I’ve been looking for so long for challenge like this

this guys puns are too good.

I wish you could use the bolt of gransax like placidusax - like a fucking nuke

thank you for the puns and the non mandatory bosses. awesome playthrough m8

Amen! Thank you for this video!

the fact you called Brother Coryn Baron Corbin really caught me off guard lmaoo. Lone wolf is the goat

I love the Doom Wolf cameo.

This video is worth it just for the puns.

Doom wolf has chosen you for the dragon friendship group! What an honor.

I also noticed that you’re using the holy scorpion charm and not the lightning one.

He turned himself into a god funniest shit I've ever seen

Babe wake up new JK Leeds video!

Haven't watched the video but did that this weekend. Sometimes using Bolt of Gransax against regular enemies. I can already tell you that Ancient Dragon Lightning Strike is freaking insane. I fried Placidusax with it.

I greatly enjoy your content, mate. Much love from one souls-dad to another.

The talismans are 8% and 4% stacking multiplicative.

Doom Wolf collaboration? Let’s go! Edit after watching the full video: With Doom Wolf, it’s always gonna cost you extra 😂 great run! Truly a man of cult-ure 🍻

Brother you did this whole video and still managed to miss one of the coolest lightning incantations in the game for shame

Bro you drake the absolute drake out of this run, good job

did we burn down leyndell _again_ lmao, great video!

Eithan Meixsell - Thor's Hammer...the fact that you picked that Intro Song made me subscribe instantly. Good taste man

Strangely enough the attacks that deplete my healthbar are ones that mess me up too. What are the odds we'd have the same problem

"no way they ant-icipated this". I quite literally chortled.

You should see some of the dragon cult stuff added with the Convergence mod

Answer for the question - Yes, and better you can have fun while doing so. Lightning Spear works wonders against Malenia and Ancient Dragon Lightning Strike works great against large bosses and suprisingly in PvP (invasions, not duels). Only problem here is Fortissax due to his resistance to Lightning, but nothing more than that. By testitng, lightning works great against knight-type enemies/bosses and guess what - there are a lot of knights in the game. From my perspective, there are things worth noting: -Godfrey's Icon can be heplful here, as it gives extra damage to charged Lightning Spear (not ADLS) -Enemies does not dodge charged Lightning Spear. -If someone is willing to trade, get extra Gravel Stone Seal, as with high faith 2 those Seals gives a little more damage than most powerful one, Erdtree Seal. -If you stand on a legde, ADLS lightning bolts will hit on surface lower. And that difference can be huge, just check cliff at The Four Belfires. -ADLS can decimate in PvP, even if player has 1600+ HP. Got situations, were one guy got hit with 1 bolt and received ~1k damage, other got 2 and his Vigor-check was failed with, if I remember correctly, above 50. :P Overall, LS and ADLS are 2 best incantations in game, don't try to change my mind. :)

The names you give the dragons 😂 also a yeah you deserve multiple Godskin Nobel Peace Prizes

I had a ancient dragon lighting build and when I got to tree sentinel (it was ng+) I though he might be a road block but holy shit he gets melted by lighting

I love dragon cult spells they are fun to use with bolt of gransax

31:04 That’s a dog not a tortoise..!

You play Elden Ring the exact way I do it. It makes the game more fun to me tbh. Doing a collectathon every run gets boring imo. Just winging it with what you need is fun to me.

Dynasty to die-nasty. I hope you feel good about that. (Because you should.)

Nameless king loves this video

So for Rykard you could've used the Perfume for Ironskin, as far as I know it's unlimited poise.

Best spell type.

i love how the not cultist letter sounds like its being spoken by kermit

I actually only beat elden beast in my first playthrough because of ancient dragon's lightning strike

I am honestly shocked Radagon seemingly cannot parry the lighting strike attack.

Missed a chance to say you purged starscourge

13:13 Did you know that; once Morgott spews his *diarrhea-water* everywhere, his lightning resistance is lowered? (As is ours)

Yes you definitely can it's actually the strongest build in my opinion

Great vid, fkin excellent humour👌 Me: ahaha, I'll have to comment on that joke at the end Me later: ahaha ok no this one instead Me by the end: aite yeah nvm too many to select from

26:43 Yeeeh.. But isn't there seals that have much higher scaling than the gravel seal? So you put the Erdtree Seal, (or just one with better scaling) in main, and Gravel in off-hand, and voilà, more dmg. No?

Wait, how did you get to the dragon kin soldier of nokstella without killing the Rahdan? Is there a way to get to nokstella without fighting Rahdan or sewer mogh?! I thought those were the only two ways to get down there! I tried looking it up if there is a third way to do it plz let me know that would be valuable info that I cannot find

They should rename the incantations to derpy dragon fun spells

Flochs gives an 8% increae, so with both you have a 12% increase to miracke damage.

Radagon seems to be your twin princes for me. Doesn't matter how many runs I do, something about how they teleport just doesn't let me flow like how I can with other bosses. I don't know why, but I can handle radagon (not perfectly) better than the twin princes

le pillar is a hexagon, you need to sit at right angles if you want fatty to roll into it mor better.

I love the jokes😭👌

We have 8 different flavors of call lightning from the sky and only one throw lightning from your hand spell

I'm probably just dumb, but how did you get to the dragonkin soldier of nokstella so early? don't you have to progress ranni's questline/kill radahn to get there?

Increase health and HP!

*gasp in fear* BRI'ISH ?!

madlad

Great work JK. Real quick though, can I get an invitation to the Dragon Cul- I mean Dragon Friendship group too?

cult of dragondeez

Can I ask a silly question; why the lantern and why no healing / magic restore flasks (or tears or whatever haha)

what armour set is that?

Why no dragon bite slash and breathe ? 🥲

What is the intro song?

i was thinking about doing a run like this but im just thinking of what kind of weapon ill run (personal preffrence more than anything really i just really dont like doing a spell only run)

I want the next video to be dragon communion incantations.

Well done for being one of the _few_ Souls challenge channels that *hasn’t* BOTTLED it when it comes to Elden Ring 🥂

7:29 a reference to DS2? Or perhaps I'm wrong lol

Thanks dad ❤

is the starting music powerwolf? idk it sounds familiar

How did you get to dragonkin soldier of nokstella so early?

Yes easily

I see a lot of runners go for radagon icon and make it part of their main rotation of talismans but let me tell you its utter rubbish. it save you a few frames of start up animations(and with a few I mean 1 to maybe 3 depending on your dex) sounds great but really isnt. fast spells dont really profit as much and you cant realy feel it while the slow spells are still a death trap when caught with your pants down. it doesnt really help at all. and after you reached 70 dex its doesnt do squad anymore because of how it works. it (and the green glintstone staff) give so called virtual dex. what that means is simple: dex benfits 2 things spell animations and dmg. virtual dex only increases the first. and the dex hard cap for increased casting speed is 70. that is already reached with dex 40 and radagon icon saving 3 frames. its sucks just like the blue dancer charm that can never give you its full bonus since it doesnt do anything from 20 weight upwards and every bit underneath already reduces effectivness and gues what: it has weight. the entire 0.3 i think it weighs is already enough to reduce the dmg + by like 1-2%. my recomendation: use literally anything appart from these two. they are very disapointing.

When will someone make a video of beating elden ring with waterfowl dance only ?

RADA RADA 🪨

Ha. Treemendous.

Doom Wolf 😊😊😊

This video is ok i guess i find the shocking part that you didnt give the prayer books to the dog pope how dare you!!!

What's that intro, kind of reminds me of Avenged Sevenfold but stuff from the Waking The Fallen and not something 'modern' EDIT: LMAO, just dug around my old MP3 Folder ... yep ... Avenged Sevenfold - Waking The Fallen - Unholy Confessions 1999 :D

Yo it's doom wolf

I shall watch this video for the joke alone.

you could also have used vyke's dragonbolt but it sucks so whatever

Guess im another 31hours early. Also is the lightning spear from dark souls 1 in this game
