I streamed until I beat Elden Ring. It was a mistake. 

Thanks for summoning me Lud, the legend of Shady and Shiro is one I’ll cherish forever.

That guy that said “698 deaths” Lud said “no you’re just hopeful” but he was only 3 off

You know it’s getting serious when you start having a conversation with the boss you’re fighting 😂

Ludwig yelling "no hit run baby!" Only to then get jawed by a book is one of the funniest things ever

“Optional bosses? Not on my agenda” He says as he runs away from the boss gate keeping the the last half of the game

Lud calmly: “we did it boys” *heart-rate at 140*

I love how he constantly panic rolls and then blames the game

Lud- **assumes "patches" is an enemy in seconds** Also Lud- are these lightning balls freindly?

Runs past all the enemies and dungeons, wonders why he is so under-leveled.

"Your parents named you Margit?!?" Ironically, he named himself Margit.

Ludwig feeling bad for killing Patches and the chat just rubbing it in after that was the best

Its amazing how ludwig can make this game look even harder than it actually is

“I think we should stop slavery” -Ludwig, 2022. Finally someone brave enough to say it.

The thing I learned the most during this video is that my heart rate is absolutely *fucked* compared to Lud's. Never seen such low numbers lol.

"I genuinly think i have beaten 50% of the game." i laughed so hard at that. Imagine if he would have known whats to come.

After over 300 hours of my rectum being ravaged by bosses and rune losses…..this is the absolute best shit I’ve seen in months…..thank you 😂

44:44 Lud: "I'm out of pots, boys" Shady & Shiro: *Charge headfirst into the boss without question* Those brave souls really know how to protect their Mogul. Ludwig7

I love how chat was giving him shit about killing Patches for a while after. "Those were Patches' pets, getting revenge." and "Dead, like Patches" hahahaha

I like how him and some of the other streamers were so focused on levels, your weapon level is what it does. +1 makes a boss go from hard to easy sometimes

Who else got this recommended after Kai did it

I forgot the monologue about Lud insisting that the government isn’t doing enough to fix potholes. Inspirational gameplay commentary

Thank god there was a blessed champion who saved all this footage. Ludwig7 to you, sir.

I know it's been a year, but watching this makes me feel so much better about my play through.

Pointcrows goldfish did better than Ludwig 💀

I love the fact he didn’t even include the fire giant. That was one of the darkest times for lud I think

I gotta say, Margit does a great job of making sure you can play the game before you plunge too deep

Bro this shit had me rolling! I haven’t played elden in at least a year but you’ve got me wanting to play again. 110 hours for me to beat it and I really rushed the end. Didn’t explore the capitol, just busted ass towards the end.

Who else came here from that one short

The calmest of “gg’s” at the end while his heart rate is literally 140

10:09 I died laughing when he said “I got hit by a cutscene”😭 the same happened to me my first time😂

I appreciate hearing Koji Kondo’s Gerudo Valley at the beginning and throughout this video Also RIP to Patches either way 🤣😭

That Radahn yell of victory 😂 I love these games for that feeling! But the frustration of getting there is painful haha

seeing lud discard almost all of his rune arcs* fucking hurt me to my core lmao *damn i really said great runes smh

Him beating the third Demi god like that felt like a movie scene. “Guess it’s gotta be fuckin me” and takes him down with the final blow.

Lmfao. I want to see Ludwig do this again, but with a greatshield, Greatweapon, and curved sword talisman. Bet he finishes with a fraction of the deaths. Guard counters are just free.

the mask was to hide his tears

My favorite part, @34:42 - @35:20, sleep-deprived Ludwig yells at the developers not understanding you are supposed to use Great Runes before battle, not in the heat it and deletes 5 from his inventory one of the most valuable items in the game 🤣

I love how Lud could have beaten this game so much faster if he actually explored places to find the blood draining stuff

this is the first time i watched a video this long and stayed focused the whole time, i know this was a year ago but Ludwig you have outdone yourself my friend!

Its almost been one year since this epic stream. I know these are hard on Lud and it can make the game not as fun for him but i loved every moment of this stream....especially the Gargoyle fight...Cheers Lud here's to 1 year!!!

Margit, the Fell - 49 Deaths - 94 Deaths (45) (+3 for second fight lol) Godrick, the Grafted - 117 Deaths - 158 Deaths (41) Ancestor Spirit - 209 Deaths - 209 Deaths (0) Red Wolf of Radagon - 213 Deaths - 217 Deaths (4) Rennala, Queen of the Full Moon - 218 Deaths - 230 Deaths - (12) Draconic Tree Sentinel - 287-289 (Unshown) Starscourge Radahn - 296 Deaths - 365 Deaths (69) Valiant Gargoyle - 375 Deaths - 479 Deaths (104!) Godskin Duo - 535 Deaths - 549 Deaths (14 lol) Beast Clergyman - 559 Deaths - 569 Deaths (10) Sir Gideon Ofnir - 569 Deaths - 577 Deaths (8) Godfrey - 577 Deaths - 623 Deaths (46) Radagon/Elden 625 Deaths - (662 to Elden) 701 Deaths (76) Most deaths to boss - Valiant Gargoyle 104 Deaths Least deaths to boss - Ancestor Spirit 0 Deaths

Ludwig discarding his Ruin Arcs was absolutely hilarious, those single handily helped me beat Rahdan 🤣

29:09 the fact that he made up a story about himself beating Radahn and calling him the hardest boss, just hilarious. Malenia: “This guys got no chance.” Mogh: “Yeah he’s terrible.”

That fight with margit and unequipping your sword was so relatable LOL

I love how chat collectively decided to make his playthrough hell by not telling him he was supposed to level health.

The game is much more fun when you don't rush through it and skip all the other content beside what's needed to beat the game. I do hope you come back to it Lud, even if you don't stream it and just play it by yourself. Hard but fun game.

The joy you get when you beat the last boss....you feel like you can conquer anything in life

Lmao, him tossing all he rune arcs is just hilarious specially since those greatrunes are reaaaal strong. lol Radahn's alone is pretty bloody strong. 36:24 LMAO

"3500 runes" *orgasms* Imagine him discovering the suicide crow in Mohg's Palace.

Man i felt my soul leave when he discarded the rune arcs and said they're useless

That Summoning Salt reference as he was facing Radahnn was absolutely amazing

It’s fun to watch you slowly learn how to play a souls game! Great video

I LONG for Lud to just, whether or not it is recorded, take his time exploring all of the game he rushed through to beat. There is SO much for him in there that I think he’ll love, and he never got to experience most of it through this stream. Amazing video, watching the rune arc discard was incredibly painful!

You know Ludwig is tired as hell when he keeps calling Elden Ring “Elden Scrolls” 😂

That Radahn fight was SO HYPE dude that was epic

an elden ring boss fight with the one piece soundtrack behind it is something I didn’t know I needed

it's cool to watch a player go from bumbling noob to seasoned killer. everyone is capable of beating these games. you just gotta keep fighting my fellow tarnished.

Would've loved to see him fight Malenia and some of the other other bosses, there are some crazy ones

I died when the berserk music started playing during shady and shiro's fight lmaooo

I can’t imagine making it to twin gargoyles and not understanding what a rune arc does.

28:00 “no wonder it’s called festival of Radhan, because we’re celebrating his f*cking victory” I’m so dead

Seeing ludwigs anger at rune arcs before seeing how good they are killed me

In the godfrey fight this makes me think this is what big nate feels like when going through mrs godfrey's class

I like how Ludwig almost had a heart attack while he was challenging the first boss

can u imagine how hard it is to condense over 60 hours of content into one hour

You’re not a real one unless you sat through hours of Lud grinding giants

Love the summoning salt shoutout in the middle of the super cut 😂

damn kinda fun to see ludwig getting better over time

that was an extremely poetic Rahdan kill, huge props for that

I’m too prideful for elden ring, instead of ignoring enemies and going through I fight every single one until nothing is left

7:05 “how march time is left?” Lud: “like one boss left” 💀

It’s crazy he skipped the entire capital and Morgott fight and fire giant fight in the matster cut

Lud: Literally skipping all the good gear Also Lud: Wonders why he's so W E A K

The last fight was so amazing to watch. You could see that in his last try, everything clicked. He was perfectly timing his dodges and counters. He didn't looked panicked or stressed. Just focus and being at one with his character. Perfect ending.

Chat so wrong for not telling him about Fia’s prank hug!! 😂 And the way he defeats Radahn is pure comedy

I feel bad in hindsight knowing Ludwig suffered through the twin gargoyles to get a grind spot for 3000 a run when he got have gone to Varre in Liurnia, crushed 5 finger items, and then teleported straight to mogwyn palace where he'd just have to climb up the cliff, get the grace at the top and then you have nice easy run that between the suicide bird you can snipe and all the guys sleeping on the cliff you can get like 20,000 to 40,000 souls. If only he knew. Having said all that, shit's hilarious.

Great video as always lud! Too bad patches wasn't here to see it with us.

I felt it when he beat Margit. I had the same exact experience, fighting him underleveled and not even knowing what summons were. Probably the most rewarding win in the game.

This is honestly one of my favorite videos on youtube

34:56 the fact that he plays one piece music just makes me happy

20:37 still the best comedic timing from the whole stream, I was laughing my ass off when watched it on the stream 🤣

I watched a lot of the subathon and never saw him crack, 3 or 4 days into Elden Ring he flat out yells at Dennis, malds intensely, and goes into Joker/Goblin mode. Honestly, it was so entertaining to watch live, thank you for sacrificing your sanity, gamer Lud.

Shady: dying Ludwig: YEAHHH LET'S GO SHADYYY

31:27 is my entire life's kind of source of satisfaction, the thought of finishing something and never have to do it ever again

Rune arcs activate the ability of whatever great rune you have equipped, it lasts till you die, your supposed to activate it before the fight, not during. I died inside watching him discard all of those, I'm constantly wishing I had more ☠️

Am I the only one that was moved by the very last fight? He knew the mechanics, he knew he had it, his whole attitude and face changed. He suddenly realized how much he loved the game. As the fight ended, he just had this smile on his face as his heart rate jumped higher than any previous point. That's why these games are so god damn addicting!

I'm super impressed by this kid. I wish him the most success in his career. How amazing having Christopher Judge as a role model growing up. Very humble about his skills and is stoic.

this is fr the video i come back to every month

"Is that a dragon? I wonder who he's trying to fight" killed me

i love how Lud was dogshit the entire game then popped off at elden beast and played it clean as fuck

Seeing his heart rate spike during Margit at that moment in the fight when you are supposed to finally get your first win but things start getting sketch is so fucking perfect because that is when you really are in that shit man lol heart pounds, might even get shakey lol funny af

Him fighting Radahn was the funniest thing I have ever seen from him.

You killing Patches when he begs for his life is probably the funniest shit I've ever seen, thank you for that LMFAO

37:41 Well, pretty close the actual Final death count! I watched a decent amount of this when he was live. But watching Ludwigs progression of rolling into attacks compared to the very beginning, is pretty Kewl GGs Also Poor Patches

The excitement from beating the gargoyles was my same reaction, hated that boss bro

the beat dropping as he killed radahn was awesome

For a guy with a McDonald's sign behind him, his heart rate is pretty normal.

This Elden Ring stream singlehandedly wins Ludwig his “(most L by a game) Streamer of the year”.

Him dropping all his rune arcs just too funny lmao

omg his reaction on beating radahn was so fucking genuine.
