Can you beat Elden Ring using ONLY Ancient Dragon Spells? 

I did not expect the spells to be this powerful... well hope you enjoyed anyways. Go follow me on Twitch: bit.ly/Tototriceps

placidisax having 40% resistance makes sense imo. He’s supposed to have 5 heads, but we only see 2. thus he has 40% instead of the full 100% resistance he should theoretically have

Margit watching a random tarnish wield the ancient red lightning his brother Godwyn kept talking about: 👁️ 👄 👁️

The fact that red lightning comes from the sky and you catch it to smite your foes like you showed is exactly why I love this game so much, it has freaking no reason at all to be this cool and beautifull but the devs said f it, this shit will be remembered for long

Ah yes, "Challange" run with Ancient Dragon Spells. Plot-twist: The Bosses were doing the challange. They failed.

What I really like, are the different colours for both lightning and fire. It's just plain fun to throw them around, although my personal favourite has to bee the Frost Lightning.

just a heads up, all attacks you can jump over, the ancient dragon spells that make you float with dodge them. So all sweeping attacks, all godfrey ground slams, stuff like that you can cast glaive or fortisax's spears and you'll dodge the entire attack while landing some mean hits

I absolutely love the glaive. Reasonable cost/damage, fairly quick, and the little wave loves catching fast enemies.

Anyone who's used those incantations knew this was bouta be easy ancient dragon spells with gransax's bolt was my favorite build

2:49 golden order lightning spells are conducted using body electricity while the ancient dragon spells are actually summoning spells which summon lightning straight from out of time, i.e , fazum azula

YESSS I've been looking for this challenge since the game came out, essentially, and my luck in finding it has been poor. Until today.

Very well done! I really dig the lightning spells in general, they're so aesthetically pleasing and, apparently, very powerful. Thank you for the great time.

15:46 That was so stylish, red lightning spear vs pure light hammer

Dude, this is literally my entire build. Of course the incantations are incredibly difficult to use. You have to really pick and choose carefully when it’s wisest to do so.

I like to think the reason the dragon lord has lowish resistance to lighting is because he's broken and missing a lot of his body

Thanks for making the game interesting...

btw, in case you didn't know about the messages on the water of Radahn's arena, some people invaded while people were on the verge of the arena and spawned in a glitched location that is underneath the water. Any message they write at the bottom, appears at the top of the water. Really weird glitch, but I think they patched it already.

Before I watched this, I honestly tried Ancient Lightning Dragon Strike in a very specific build and was very much surprised when I found out that even bosses like Maliketh, Godfrey, and Radagon get melted by that incantation so quickly. So this video puts a smile on my face

Very nice! The Dragon Cult Incantations are honestly my favorite incantations and they're also very good so I knew this challenge would be a fun one. P.S. A Golden Order/Fundamentalist Incantations Only Elden Ring run has been done. It's completely possible to beat the entire game using them. So perhaps you can try that one some time in future. The main hard part about the run is grinding runes for leveling both Faith and Int and being patient for the holy resistant bosses. The spells absolutely annihilate Deathbirds though so fighting them is very good for getting runes. Radagon's Rings of Light can also do a surprising amount of damage so it's worth getting it and using it as soon as possible. Using Healing Incantations is also recommended in this run since Cerulean Flasks will be more important than Crimson Flasks. There's also a total of 20 Starlight Shards in the game so using them for some of the more holy resistant bosses like Maliketh or Radagon and Elden Beast is worth it.

Ancient dragon spells are my favorite, I ended up playing through NG+7-10 with a dedicated Ancient Dragon Priest build, no melee straight spells. The lightning stakes can also jump over attacks (I jumped over a guy using Hoarah loux ground slam AoW and slammed him with fortissax lightning spears, he ate them directly and called me a hacker lol)

while I was doing a run as a caster build ancient dragon lightning strike carried me through the game, glad to see others see how powerful this spell is as well!

Awesome run. Even if it seems not a challenge to the viewer because of big numbers. These kinds of showcases are my favorite because I see the true potential of each magic school in the game. Seeing that damage, it makes sense these spells are slow lol. Probably my favorite vid from you yet

I have an entire one-shot build using the dragon lightning spells, they're incredible. Glaive is definitely the most underwhelming as far as raw damage, but the sheer area it covers is amazing. And using it in watery areas is stupid

That Gransax Spear needs a buff. Why the hell does it not have any faith scaling is something the developers definitely forgot to add.

You can access the deeproot depths where fortisax is by going under lyndell. It’s a hidden path

I really liked that you showcased all the spells and some glitches too!

Good game play, great commentary, good game knowledge, fun glitches, all check. You my friend have earned a sub. I love the vids!

Dude, these videos are awesome. Keep them coming brother. Love your channel.

That detail about catching the lightning is really cool

3:00 Thank you for pointing that out I never noticed it, that is phenomenal

Me after watching this: Ferb, I know what we’re gonna do today!

I really enjoy your videos and the fact that you 4 shot fire giant is absolutely hilarious I had the absolute worst time with him myself

You have reignited my love for this game with this run, I'm going to go and make my Str/Fth Paladin again and run through the game with these spells.

Dragonlord Ballsax will definitely be a problem with all his might.

I recently found your channel and so far I am loving your content!

tbf for the death spells only one is actually of any use

Great video ma man, keep the hype up, id love to see other souls like challenge runs from you tototriceps

Yessss, glad you are getting all the spells. I was watching your older runs and wanted to suggest it if they’re only several spells in the category

I really wish they'd give us an Ancient dragon version of the regular lighting bolt throw and summon lighting. The ones they gave us kinda suck in most situations

I was looking for this everyday until now… thank you for this :)

ALS is the incantation response to shard spiral. they are the “is the boss large? then use this” spells. they can hit multiple times and can melt through bosses it’s actually hilarious. i recently did a “goddess of magic” run where i pumped to 80-80 int faith with mind and arcane…. dear GOD it was insane. especially when i got the seal and staff that scaled on both…. over 400 spell bonus… before talismans and other buffs…. it was glorious. shard spiral melted elden beast in seconds while ALS took care of basically everything else once i got it. i was squishy as even a light breeze reduced me to atoms…. but it was so worth it.

Love the Chrono Trigger festival music in the background.

Fantastic content and alot of hardwork. Well done!

Grabbing the bolt from the sky is way to sick

As a Zelda fan, I appreciate that you used Faron woods from twilight princess

Really underrated!! Your vids are some of the best ive seen!

Loved your video 🤩. I’m so glad that you aren’t afraid to use cheeses 🧀 tbh it make made video a lot interesting (it also shows your knowledge of the game). A lot of Elden Ring challenge runs are unnecessarily hard and quite boring but this one was so much fun. Thank you 🙏

Gwyn: "You dare to use my spells against me Potter!"

Awesome video ! Finally i see someone using these incantations. I was hoping to see placidusax's ruin in action but its understandable, its quite slow and comes with an high risk. Oh well, its surely way better than those ones who say they're gonna beat ER only using dragon powers and then just use rotten breath all the time lol

Thanks man

ADLS works so well due to hitting multiple times on big targets, and charging it just gives more bolts to mince those targets with, So elden breast and the dragon lord get devoured

It was perfect,perfect to the very detail.

Awesome run!

i liked the video as soon u noticed the thunder coming from the sky, such a cool detail i never noticed

That Video was amazing your killing it Keep it up

Love your runs. And your accent give me chills

ancient dragon lightning storm has made me a faith user ever since i discovered it in my first run its just too op

I really love this kind of video

“Can you beat the game using some of the best spells in said game?”

I had a dex int build. Got lightning slash and saw how cool it looked so I went to Rennala and now I have a faith/str build lol

you really inspierd me to use lightning spells, really I like alot now

These vids are so lit.

ADLS being not only the highest damaging Ancient Dragon incant but also the easiest to hit is an absolute joke but im all for it. Ez minimum 4k dmg on pretty much every main boss

"Oh my gawd Morgott.. That hurt me" AHAHAHAH my man you're a genious XD

You just earned urself a subscriber

ancient dragon lightning strike: literally can one-shot fire giant (almost 0 chance with all buffs, but possible) toto: this is the best spell for hard challenge

It's a little sad that ADLS is the only good incantation against bosses. Most of the time using the other ancient dragon incantations aren't even worth the trade, unless you're really over leveled. Hope we get some better ones or Ice lightning incantations in the DLC.

10:39 my fault my fault

Love this since I’m going into a red lightning build I just wish I knew what you stats were

While playing through NG+, I one shot Godrick’s second phase with ADLS, which ik isn’t quite as impressive as it sounds because, well, it’s Godrick, but I found it hilarious at the time

Def gunna do a Dragon slayer run with the Banished knight set this shit is cool af

dat music during the Godefroy fight tho

This is my first playthrough of Elden Ring and I went with a full on Intelligence mage build cause I fucking love magic but when I saw people use incantation builds I got so jealous cause those dragon spells look fucking *SICK*

I was wondering why it all looked so familiar.. then i remembered I was in the live stream!! Awesome to see again :D

8:32 this song that played in the background triggered childhood flashbacks

I enjoy watching your videos bro😂 fr

At this point I've watched so many of these the answer is yes, yes you can

I love elden ring and this video is awesome. So well edited

Tototriceps just make a video firstly i watch it so calm the explenation one by one that awesome brother keep it up

Ancient Dragon Lightning Strike alone can delete bosses with ease, pair it with Lightning Scorpion Charm, Godfrey’s Icon, Grand Flock Talisman, and Shard of Alexander and you are gonna do half the bosses health bar. As well as having the Cracked Lightning Tear.

Found you a couple days ago and have watched well over 10 videos

ahahahahah the moment i saw this vid i was like "challenge run"? dragon lightning bro brrwaaaaaaaawp

Bro decided to turn into palpatine. Unlimited Power!!!!!!

Need to see how it does against the last beast

I legit stopped eating at some point because i realised i heard halo music, love this video a LOT keep uploading these if you want, i love them

In my first playtrough I acidently made the ghost Loretta glich, I don't know exacly how, but I was hit by thoose bow man while passing through the fog.

i love how he called runes souls that like shot me back a couple years

Love the halo music u put in 👍🏻👍🏻

You said "The One, The Only, Draconic Tree Sentinel" like there isn't one outside Maliketh's arena

Great run! I really enjoy these spells, so this was fun. off topic, but those guns of yours are gonna give Hoarah Loux a run for his money!

I played half the game with strength build then after defeating rennala i used the rebirth to change all my stats and and made a faith build after which all i used was the golden lightning spear to beat the whole game. Also used a little bit of frenzy flame sniper blast haha & the destined death knife that has a ranged blast

imagine seeing the placidusax ultimate laser attack with 5 heads

Yes finally, I’ve been waiting soo long. Can u try a run with only Erdtree incantation(even tho Elden stars+ring are only form of damage)

love ur accent! great video!

Crazy to see that you only have 7k subs love your content!

I’m gonna say I was satisfied with how Rahdan went down with an equally powerful spell!!!!

Yeah finally

Foreskin Duo 💀😂

I appreciate the Halo music used in the background

When you picked up the somber smiting stone level 10 you had a reduvia blade stuck into your arm I thought it was a duel disk lmao
