Using Only Summons to Beat Elden Ring 

Using rejection is like if Ash just went over and kicked Squirtle in the ribs just to help Pikachu out a bit

Bushy: Thats my boy Mimic: *runs into the attack* Bushy: oh no my boy! Mimic: father help

Once it gets into the mimic tear section of the run it's basically "Elden ring but my little brother is the one playing".

This wasn’t a summons challenge, this was a healslut challenge

32:15 Okay, but the timing of "I sucked the fucking moon, too" followed immediately by Rennala saying "Come-" is too perfect

Jerren landing the final strike on Radahn just felt perfectly fitting to the character. It was honestly quite cinematic.

If I could suggest a run: Do a fake sorcerer run. Use only moves that cost FP to attack but you can’t use sorcery’s or incantations. There’s a lot of things that cost FP so there enough variety to make things interesting. Ex: fire pot- no, Magic pots- yes Bone darts- no, crystal darts- yes All tools, spirit ashes, ashes of war are allowed ( in order to avoid ash of war run you can only use ashes of war for 1 FP bar per rest at grace, [optional though, might be to hard] ) Try to be elden lord while having flunked out of Raya Lucaria

Jerren killing Radahn has such emotional lore implications dang

Bushy: uses meat shield, runs away, and trows bad gases. Hora Lu: "Brave Tarnished"

Alexander is just straight up the best boy during the Fire Giant fight!

The commitment and patience this man has is insane😂😂

i’ve watched your challenge runs so many times they’re all extremely entertaining and coming from a complete and irrelevant stranger thank you for your video they keep me sane

Heres a tip, if you want to draw aggro you should get the duelists set, each piece of armor increases aggro that you draw to yourself, so the full set plus shabriri's woe will pretty much make the enemies always attack you even if you dont attack them

The fact that the iconic pokemon trainer's name is literally Ash is just perfect.

I cant help but love the section where bushy and bushy 2.0 bully gideon with the rejection spell

I postponed the decision of all important matters to another day, just to watch this video))

During the Elden Beast fight I was laughing so much, the whole "nut on him" got me crying, but the chat had me dying

I wish I could erase my memory of playing Elden Ring so that I can experience it again like the first time. This game is so freaking good. Love these challenge runs.

Cosmo Mind's comment about "becoming Elden Lord after flunking out of Raya Lucaria" gave me an idea for a run. Beat Elden Ring as a Noble Sorcerer. The guys who actually DID flunk out of Raya Lucaria. - Prisoner start for base Glintstone Staff. You aren't allowed to use any other staff. - Not allowed to cast any spells other than Glintstone Pebble or deal damage with anything else except bonking with the staff if you absolutely have to. You can buy Glintstone Pebble from Thops without having to fight anything. - Not allowed to equip weapons, just the staff (no Golden Vow dagger for you). - Must dress the part: Unaltered Aristocrat Garb, Aristocrat Headband, Aristocrat Boots. Farm for it in the ruins next to Iji or just cheat it in. - The most important part: *You are not allowed to increase your INT in any way.* No levelling it up, no talismans or gear that boost it, no Intelligence-knot Crystal Tear. If you could get smarter, you wouldn't have flunked out. - Levelling up other stats is allowed. - Other ways to improve your damage like the Graven talismans, Magic Scorpion Charm, Magic-Shrouding Cracked Tear, and upgrading the staff itself are allowed. - Summoning your fellow Noble Sorcerer is allowed, as well as upgrading him, but not Mimic Tear.

Black Knife Tiche is sill my absolute favorite summon, it can solo almost the whole game.

Interesting detail about Shabriri's Woe is the fact that if you're not doing anything to draw the enemy's aggro, they won't focus you at all. It can be useful if you summon, but not if you can't do anything yourself to draw their aggro

It feels completely random whether the summons do 13 damage then all die or completely solo the boss

53:28 I literally screamed out loud "He lives!!!!" followed with the most depressing "oh" 5 seconds later.

I tried this challenge once and though I never got to finish it, fanged imp ashes were my go-to as early game summons. They do good bleed buildup and kinda scurry away in random directions, making them tricky to hit for bosses

Waking up to a new Bushy playthrough is like waking up on Christmas morning

My favorite summons are the bird deenth, pretty sure that's the name, and the two spear skeletons you get from the boat guy. They are both very good and, in my opinion, underrated

Hello. Comment on a year old video here. Shabriri's Woe says it increases enemies aggression, not make them focus you. I thought that too untill it was thoroughly explained to me, so I understand your pain. VERY basic and short explanation of what Shabriri's Woe does: once you already have an enemy's agro, they stay agro'd on you for longer. A better explanation would probobly be that it, "enhances", or, "extend's" enemy agro.

Holy SHIT! Alexander coming in clutch with that humongous big damage on Fire Giant. That was extraordinarily impressive.

The almost in sync roll at 28:33 was satisfactory.

Baby wake up it’s bushy videos here.

LMAO @50:20 🤣🤣🤣 Elden Ring Boss Weapons of choice: Morgott: Yoda's cane and ethereal weaponry Radahn: Dual Greatswords, Greatbow, and gravity magic Rennala: Various forms of magic Maliketh: Literall DEATH embedded into a sword Hoarah Loux: HANDS!!! Sponsored by SUPLEX CITY

Now do a nuzlock version where if the summon dies you can’t use them again

This is unreal run. Best mimic of the year award

Every time i get hard stuck on a boss in elden ring using a totally viable, regular build, i just watch a little bit of bushy doing some obscenely difficult challenge run and realize how much easier i have it. Then i fail a few more times and finish the video so i can see what it’s like to actually kill a boss.

Is so fun how Bushy keeps cheering on his summons!

What's even more impressive - Elden Ring actually makes this a playable option.

The Olfnir bullying session had me in tears 😂

I wanna be the Elden Lord Like Godrick never was To catch hands is my real test To summon is my cause

These vids never fail to make me stop whatever I’m doing to watch lol

That 4K mimic nut was worth the whole run imo

Love watching your highlights like this, you have such a fun energy with every run!

This is by far my favorite run so far

Just a tip even tho nobody is probably gonna need it. In the godskin fight you want bernhal to always fight the skinny guy since he pretty much solos him without any help at all. Even when he respawns you can simply beat the fat guy up and watch the spectacle since the skinny guy won’t stand a chance

Jarren killing Radahn actually makes a lot of sense lore-wise.

Dude I've been watching your playthroughs for the last couple days and you are an absolute legend! I straight rage quit this game some time back and watching you play has gotten me reinvested in it and I picked up a bunch of tricks just watching you play

Ah yes, Ash Ketchum and his iconic companion 'Rot Dog'

I’ve been watching your videos for a while, and not only do I think that was a really refreshing take on a summon only video, but I think that your commentary once you got to using mimic tear puts it, and your content in general, in a tier above most other Elden Ring content. Great job, and fantastic video!

Bushy> "Why aren't my heals working!?" Dung Eater> "Why aren't you casting heal!?"

Man do I love your videos . I can’t become a member because I’m broke but I really appreciate when you post , your videos are so well edited and your voice is nice to hear . Thank you for posting .

I love the twist you put on this, great video as always sir

I think the aggro talisman also has something to do with damage that isn't listed anywhere, as far as I can tell. When I was playing coop with some friends, I used the talisman because it made things easier when you knew who the boss was gonna target, instead of them constantly switching targets in the middle of an attack animation, and it worked for the most part. But if I had to take a moment to heal or something and my friend started attacking the boss, it would immediately switch to them, even if the boss was right next to me and my friend was across the arena. I think it's similar to like tanking in WoW, where you have priority for enemes to attack you, but if you stand there and do nothing while something else is damaging the boss, it will just swap to them.

Eldin Ring nuzlock before gta 6 is wild.

Demand a true Ash Ketchum run with Mimic using nothing but lightning magic and the lightning roly-poly ash of war.

It's hilarious watching all of these summon only challenges end up using mimic tear + ekyzyke's decay

Beastman: 1 attempt (probably) Margit: 1 attempt Godrick: 1 attempt Crystalian: 1 attempt (probably) Radahn: 5 attempts (Jerren is the Gigachad) Draconic: 7 attemts Cemetery Shade: 1 attempt (probably) Ghost Loretta: 4 attempts Mimic Tear, Tree Sentinel and Watchdog: 1 attempt (probably) Cleanrot, Bloodhound, another Watchdog: 1 attempt (probably) Goldfrey: 9 attempts Morgott: 2 attempts Fire Giant: 2 attempts Godskin Duo: 2 attempts Black Knife, Golem, G Noble: 1 attempt (probably) Red Wolf: 1 attempt (probably) Rennala: 2 attempts Rykard: 5 attempts Regal Ancestor: 2 attempts Dragonkin of Nokstella: 1 attempt (probably) Ekzykes, Niall, Real Loretta: 1 attempt (probably) Maliketh: 23 attempts Gideon: 4 attempts Fia's Simps: 2 attempts Fortissax: 1 attempt Astel: 1 attempt Placidusax: 1 attempt Big Mohg: 1 attempt Hoarah: 2 attempts Radagon/Elden Beast: 3 attempts Boss with most attempts: Maliketh, the Black Blade

Black knife tiche has been my best friend through the game since I got her. I highly recommend her

Sick run, but kinda odd how not only did you not fight Malenia, you didn't even mention her.

Everytime I fight Radahn I shout “summon thy homies!” As i manically use torrent and summon all the npcs lol

Tries to make ash: Makes Guts: Sounds about right for a Fromsoft game

I'm surprised chat didn't recommend or Bushy not knowing Gideon is weak to madness, that fight coulda been over so much quicker if Mimic had madness incantations

Thanks for all the effort you put in your vids ! I enjoy them to the fullest.

This run would have went ALOT smoother with black knife Tiche. Video is still kool.

Bushy always doing the best challenge videos, love finding one I missed.

There is something with bushy videos that make me wanna wait. Hey, Bushy! Ever thought of trying all these stuff for other souls games?

The unique rules you put on is why these challenge runs are way more interesting than any others, keep it up!

was watching some of the streams, it's so cool to see someone genuinely dedicated to keeping the set rules without cheating, unless completely necessary to continue. After looking at some other channels I think you've earned my respect for consistently not cheating.

0:43 me showing kindergartners the power of the sun by burning paper with a magnifying glass, and one of them looks over at an ant hill

"I grab the Clawmark seal since it is the only one with a strength scaling" Godskin sigil: Am I a joke to you?

Great content my man, as always

"I sucked the fcking moon too!!" Not what you hear everyday 😂😂😂

Pretty cool to see summon only runs, I like the gimmick of boss kills for leveling them. It also shows how busted summons are in general since it'd be so easy if he was actually hitting the boss too.

They need to make the area on the heals much bigger

Run suggestion: Scrooge McDucks run. Rules: - Can't spend runes - Can die but can't lose runes. If you died on your way to recover, have to start over. The goal is to see how much runes you can bring to Marika Statue

“Nut on him. Nut on him. Nut on him.” Bushy ~2022

28:40 idk if this ad placement is intentional, but having it come up right as you simultaneously get smashed by a rock as he phase changes is perfect. Also I was laughing my ass off when he started yelling at Gideon for all the spam he does

You really needed to play this entire run in a sexy nurse outfit... for Halloween, no other reason...

Most entertaining run I’ve seen 😂

Moral of the video: Dung eater and mimic tear are the GOAT

I’ve watched those other videos, but it’s still cool to see how other people try the same challenge. The twist you did was interesting though. Keep up the awesome videos!

I just like that he ended up playing as the crucible knight duo.

Ash would've been so proud.

currently on my first play through of elden ring and im struggling killing 90% of enemies/bosses and im using the bloodhounds fang melee build. seeing you complete these challenges while severely disadvantaged is so cool. the dedication you have is admirable. im having a blast playing this game so far. im loving the content man!

Alternate title: Playing Pokémon in Elden Ring

Perfect timing, thanks bushy! I needed something to watch while I eat dinner👌

when he said i need more stam regen im like, but why not get the turtle shield bro

To my understanding, Shabriri's Woe just aggros enemies from a greater range. It doesn't increase their aggro towards you, so if you aren't ever attacking them, it won't do anything, hence it being relatively meaningless here.

I wouldn't have gone for the Dung Eater summon. Lhutel is generally more reliable, since she has a ranged option and teleports around a lot to dodge.

Other challenge runners: i dont use summons because they make the game too easy Bushy, an intellectual: i only use summons to prove they make the game harder

29:07 >intentionally equips shabriri’s woe >why are you attacking me

Cracked pots do damage if they hit anything directly, so technically you could have done damage to the godskin duo with the sleeping pots

This is such a clever remix of the challenge! Dope video!

This is amazing because i never watch a 10 minutes longer video and now i'm here every single day watching some of your videos.

I have NEVER seen the Regal Ancestor Spirit do the rollypolly before

3:20 Yes, NPC summoning does increase a boss's health. So do so at your own risk lmao

Alternate Title: Elden Ring but it’s a Pokémon game now

Bro said “why avoid damage when you can take health”

2 things that make me laugh in this video: 1. Bushy dead trying by Malekith 2. Bushy vs gideon

The summons in this game are so cool. I kind of wish I hadn't forced myself to not use them on my first playthrough it was so fun playing through the game again with a necromancerish build with some of the ashes

Dolores the sleeping arrow would have probably been clutch for godskin duo

Tbh I think I saw him hurt the godskin duo himself when he hit them with the sleep pots.
