Elden Ring DLC - No Hit Speedrun (segmented) 

Oh Boy, Hob I am so, so sorry for disappointing you. I only did this segmented video because I thought it would be kinda fun to do and I didn't think anyone one would care for it since I dont post on any leaderboards or mention anywhere that it is the worlds first of its kind or anything of that sort. Gino or the Team hittless discord should have just told me to change the title of the Video and I would have happily obliged them (instead they kind of rappid fire posted negative comments throughout the whole day which made me panic instead, since I am not used to all of that attention 😞). I ended up changing the title of the video to better reflect what type of run this is (a segmented one, one that relies on cuts/splices in order get through the run without beeing hit). I hope you can forgive me and I am very much looking forward to you beating the DLC with a legit no hit run (If anyone can do it then I am 100% certain its you). Much love back ^_^.

@@NikoBellic0_0 I think folks in the community just felt misled at first. Changing the title was a good move, and I'm sure most folks will appreciate the transparency. I'm not sure I agree with the slew of negative comments spewing from people's streams reviewing your video, that should not be representative of the community as a whole. Lost a bit of respect for the 0-hit runners in this regard. Mob mentality is a son of a bitch though, so I suppose expecting any less is being naive. You're a still a damn good gamer, and I'm sure you'll get a legit no-hit in the future. Take care 👋

@@DawnAuthor nah. he chose that video title, even in the descriptions theres no disclaimer that this was spliced. you should expect backlash from legit runners/viewers because of that, . but still great run, just the description and title are really not it

@@jeccc There’s never an excuse for piling on to someone who is obviously harmless and has already apologized. I take issue with the original title as well, also the revenue he’s already earned from it, but taking responsibility and changing the title shows character. Backlash can be constructive instead of toxic and sarcastic, especially from the biggest names in the community. I think everyone has learned something from this situation.

​@@jeccche should just do an actual no hit without segments. Then everything is redeemed. He's clearly skilled enough to do it.

Thats due to Godricks great rune which gives you + 5 in all stats as long as you have it active (it however doesnt show up during leveling since its not a permanent stat up, similarly to how talismans that boost your levels in a stat also dont show up during it) ^_^.

On equipment menu you see your stats added by the items. On level up not.

unfortunately no, that makes this run invalid but he isnt posting it to the website so it doesnt matter.

Man just appreciate the skill or post your own!!

@@gallupswon all he did was point out the official no hit run rules, and yes i already have 4 of these completed for the base game.

@@blackhaze_gaming Yah there’s always some Uber nerd that has to throw it in to suck the fun out of it

​@@blackhaze_gaming the official no hit rules written down by George Washington in the federal law of the United States of America o7

I think you are talking about the stats, right? if so it's due to godrick's great rune which gives you +5 in every stat (+ the fact that great runes, talismans and other items that boost your stats like helmets and crystal tears only show in the equipment menu and not during level up screens when you rest) ^_^.

Thank you ^_^.

niko always has the best early speedruns

You should know better on how to make people think out of something like these speedruns. ^_^

That would be the bloodfiend arm (you can pick it up at the beginning of the dlc and its straight up op if you go for a bleed build) ^_^.

sorry man 😞

timestamp ?

Thank you and yeah I can't wait to see what the other speedrunners will come up with next when it comes to the game ^_^.

it sure is daddy

Thank you very much ^_^.

Not only can he be staggered but he can even be paried back to back (i did that strategy in the video from last week) ^_^.

Thank you ^_^.

Thank you, I am glad that you enjoyed the run ^_^.

you can find it near radahns castle in the base game ^_^.

Thank you I am glad that you enjoyed the run ^_^.

Sure, let me give a quick run down of the build. For starters you wanna use a build that has 80 points in strength as well as 80 points in arcane to hit the hardcaps of both of those stats as well as 25 points in faith in order to be able to cast the incantations "flame, grant me strength" + "golden Vow" which both grant quite a lot of multiplicative damage ups (I also recommend equipping godricks great rune in order to get +5 stat points in all attributes + the faith knot tear which grants you + 10 stat points in faith in order to cut down on the required levels and to put the rest of your levels into endurance for the stamina). For talismans you need the ritual sword talisman which grants you 10% aditional damage, the axe talisman which grants + 10% damage for charged attacks, the two handed sword talisman from the dlc which grants an aditional 15% damage as long as you dual wield a two handed weapon + the lord of blood talisman which grants an aditional 20% damage once you proc bleed on an enemy. For armor you really only need the white mask which grants an aditional 10% damage once you proc bleed (which stacks with the blood talisman). For the physick flask you should also use the spiked cracked tear which deals an additional 10% damage on charged attacks. Now lastly you wanna use a fully upgraded Bloodfiend arm with the cragblade ash of war (which deals + 10% damage + 15% aditional stagger damage) + a blood infusion (which makes the weapon scale insanly well with strength + arcane + gives it a bleed proc of about 220 which hits twice during charged attacks). Now you combine all of those multiplicative damage buffs on top of the scadutree levels which buffs the damage by even more (especially since the patch from a couple of days ago made the first 10 levels even more powerfull) and you get a trully powerfull build which can proc bleed on bosses with a single charged attack ^_^.

Thank you ^_^.

@@NikoBellic0_0 ok that makes a lot of sense me and my buddy are trying to run it rn like ng+3 without shadow blessing levels and he’s taking absolutely no damage

Sure, let me quickly run down the equipment.

@@NikoBellic0_0 thanks you are blessed! why the arcane is so important?

Arcane is hands down the most important stat, since it buffs the damage of the bloodfiend arm (it has a b scaling in arcane) + it increases the bleed chance (without any levels in arcane the bloodfiend arm has about 90-100 bleed while with a 80 arcane build it has a whopping 220) ^_^.

@@NikoBellic0_0so the +630 of the weapon physical attack occurs by the arcane stat ?

yep, arcane + strength both in fact increase the weapon damage since the arm scales with both stats (which is why you want to reach the hard cap in both) ^_^.

🧊🧊👍🏻👍🏻✅✅✅✅

Лови лайк. Не глядя😊

I mean the DLC hasn't even been out long enough to say it took a lot of time to practice hahahaha

You are a wise gamer 😮

Awesome. Pls post build.

Thats a really good question ^_^. I do believe that it would make sense for there to be such a category (especially since I have seen people beat both mohg as well as base game radahn within half an hour of starting the game, though they did abuse glitches/exploits to be able to achieve that).

Doesn't the assassins gambit inflict some damage on the player though? (because if so I don't know if it would be allowed in a no hit run)

@@NikoBellic0_0 it does deal damage. But that's part of a no damage run. Since it's a no hit run, assassin's gambit can be used.

@@NikoBellic0_0 I believe self-inflicted damage or environmental damage (lava/lake of rot) don't count as a "hit" since no enemy/AI boss is actually trying to hit you.

I guess from a technical stand point that does make sense + it would have made the run way, way easier since you can just sneak past mobs.

@@NikoBellic0_0 yea its allowed. Only in no damage runs is it not allowed.

Thank you very much, I am glad that you enjoyed both of those runs ^_^.

@@daimfr I know right! Calling this a no hit run feels weird since he's using quitouts to de-aggro mobs

@@daimfr Actually he is the reason I'm so into no hit run! Huge Gino fan here! Just watched his all nighter stream routing that lol

Thanks ^_^

Messmer is one of the 4 mandatorry bosses you need to beat in the dlc, if you want to go for a glitchess run (the others being, romina, needle knight leda and radahn). Now rellana + the golden hippo on the other hand you can actually skip by going through a different longer route (but it would have resulted in the run taking longer, so I decided to just go for them as well) ^_^.

Yep, afterall a fully charged r2 attack from the bloodfiend arm deals close to 500 in bleed proc ^_^.

sure cousin, lets go bowling 😂

that's right daddy

you mean those starfists? you can get them in Leyndell Royal Capital near the colosseum looking area (you can also get an earlier a bit weaker version of them in liurnia of the lake from the big boggart npc) ^_^.

@@NikoBellic0_0 I see, nice run man..absolute insane

thank you ^_^.

I lost about 3 runs to the beginning of radahns second phase, due to the fact that he didn't get staggered immediately after the charged attack (which sucks especially since if you get that stagger in, before he does his large aoe attack you basically win).

Haha, thanks a lot dude and I hope you'll have as much fun with the game as I did once you find the time to sit down and play it ^_^.
