Vyke as a Secret Starting Class in Elden Ring 

The reason you have to be naked for the three fingers is actually because Vyke's armor protected him from the madness and gave him enough time to lock himself in the ever-goal, so now the three fingers just aren't risking it anymore.

I don’t know if you were actually asking, but the armour is burned because when vyke got touched he wore his armour, which caused his brain to basically start melting so the fingers were like “let’s not do that again” so they tell you to take your armour off

I think it’s perfectly acceptable for the personas of these custom starting classes to see a massive serpent-killing weapon in the massive serpent arena and think “hm maybe I should use this”

This build sure goes crazy

Killing Gowry early in his questline doesn't actually ruin the quest. If you come back later, he'll just be sitting there like nothing happened. It's only once Millicent dies, whichever way that happens, that he's open for getting killed for real.

Some royal knight has been saving up his PTO to take a nature hike, and you kill him for a book he was bringing to his jar friends as a gift. He wanted to make up with them because he hasn't been as good of a friend since the shattering as he's going through some stuff.

Fun Fact: You can just crouch near the ledge left of the Church, and Vyke will just fall off and die from fall damage.

I nearly went mad with the frenzy that Vyke spears into this build

The reason the armor is melted but you have to take yours off is because Vyke wore his armor when communing with the frenzied flame and then was able to fight off their influence. They learned from that experience and aren't taking chances with you

The random leyndell knight having the lightning prayerbook is a leftover from earlier in development. In the pre-release 1.00 version, some prayerbooks are random drops from members of the respective faction (flame monk, blackflame monk, leyndell knight). They placed the flame monk and godskin prayerbook somewhere specific but for the lightning one they just moved one of the knights i guess

Gowry respawns if you kill Millicent so you still could've gotten the Talisman he drops.

What I don't get are people who don't like spirit ashes or summons but then use every other exploit imaginable to just skip fights they complain are bad. Also Vyke just rocks as a character, love a golden boy who goes bad and manages to realize his mistake before he lets himself fall any further

Oh my god the placement of Tidus laughing after the second "Cari-a manor" joke was literally perfect

Run Idea: make a character that focuses on the red, blue, and green bars, don't level any stats beside vigor, mind, or endurance, use radahn's great rune and probably the amber medallions wear heavy armor and spam ashes of war with your unlimited fp and stamina while poising through and tanking everything

I’d recommend a crucible knight secret starting class, except the only way to get there armor and weapons is either to go to the Azura hero’s grace or the deep root depths. The horns and the tail are neat, but might get grating against boss sized bosses

If you kill Gowry and he say he'll be seeing you, he means it. He'll be there the next time you go to the shack.

Sell their houses to who Shabriri, the Three Fingers?!?!

Vyke is definitely my favorite secret starting class

I think the idea of Vyke's armor is that he kept it on and didn't become a proper vessel for the flame. Hence why they lock the doors now unless you're showing skin.

I wish we got a pre-flame melting version of Vyke's spear. But seriously there is *1* greatspear in the entire game that can take AoWs and its the lance. Please give me Vykes spear and let me slap Storm Assault on it to cosplay Vyke at his prime

Only 6hrs of going through a third of the game and your "Vyke as a Secret Starting Class" is ready!!! That's crazy!

23:53 correct me if im wrong, but i think you couldve used the serpent hunter in the offhand and still shot air beams with the powerstance attacks; therefore still using Vyke's spear to kill rykard.

I love these videos so much. The little animations are always a treat!

Easily your best video so far. Great variety in the writing and jokes, and those little Howls of Shapiro bits-flawless.

subscribed because i just realize i haven’t seen your videos in a while and i missed the content. glad to see your back on my yt feed

Vyke's armor isn't actually the same as the knight set, but I suppose it's similar enough. Main differences are that vyke's is slightly less bulky and has holes in the visor of the helmet

Been using Vyke's Spear in the Convergence mod and it's be great cause frenzy effects most enemies it looks like. If they dont have a madness animation they usually just take a big chunk like from bleed. Great video!

Exciting! This is one I've actually tried out before, and despite madness not being useful for most fights, I still had a lot of fun. The frenzyflame spear ash is particularly entertaining even if it isn't the best.

Good run man seems like a fun build, trying it out now!

Much love for you and the videos!

Why you always killing Alexander

I did this one myself a month or two ago, I found the ash of war was really useful against Malenia. I couldn't think of a themed spirit ash though so I got stuck without one.

so many cool builds...someday I'll need to actually play this game

This is probably the funniest video on RU-vid, super clever and hilarious references.

The Vyke dance is the best secret starting dance for a secret starting class

If you stand still and press the dodging button you back step which is usable in swamp water like bloodhound step or the dagger step ash of war but can be used on any build just gotta have your back towards where you wanna go

The fingers are frenzied with this build

For more information search fingering vyke on your work pc

Appropriate since my Vyke figure arrives tomorrow!

I was watching the older streams for this, but Twitch got annoying, and I never had enough time to finish, so I'm excited

I love frenzy builds. Its a shame it doesn't work super good on the non PVP side... but it just looks so cool so worth

Hilariously good fun. Subbed.

I had to go find that fitness pacer gram test remix. The music these videos use may be one of my favorite things about this channel.

No lie, literally every time I play your vids on speaker (instead of in my ears), my wife hears the Britney song clip from the next room. “What the fuck are you watching?!”

I think the implication with Vyke's armor being burned is that he entered the Three Fingers' room with his armor on, causing it to get burned and start melting but making him a failed vessel for the Frenzied Flame since it couldn't make contact with his skin. Maybe the Three Fingers made the rule that only naked people can enter after that.

I love that spear. it and the frenzy seal made me go frenzied flame ending.

first time watching your videos, you had me at britney spears

The “Nobody Beats Cyclops” pun was so good I unsubscribed so I could subscribe again. Top tier stuff, Tulok, we are not worthy of your big brain

vyke's not the exception to the rule, he's an egg

This video is insane

for anyone wanting to do this, the flame of frenzy spell works best if you don’t lock on and just look down at the bosses feet. Basically acts like a shotgun cause all the flames hit the boss

I think the reason that Vyke's armor is melted is because he wore it when he met the 3 Fingers. And that's why he failed to become the Lord of Frenzied Flame

God damn. good sir, not only was this video helpful, it also had me rolling on the fucking floor 😂 that’s a sub from me! Keep it up G!

I gotta admit you missed out on perhaps the only use of Inescapable Frenzy in Elden Ring PVE: While Gideon is giving his big dumb speech you buff and walk up to him and give him the ol' Ghostrider stare. The most fulfilling way to take him down in my opinion.

best god damn elden ring youtuber

i suspect the leyndell knight wandering a random patch of liurnia is cut content, possibly related to merchant kale's cut questline.

Spirit ashes are my favorite because I love playing games with a buddy, and it's great to have a coop partner when you can't get a real one to play with u

24:41 ROBIN HOOD MEN IN TIGHTS LET'S FREAKING GOOOOO!!! (Fun fact: I'm sure that's that movie even though I never watched it in english... that's how much I remember it from memory 😂)

I always thought the Leyandell knight painted the picture himself and that's why he's right there.

"pro tip. You can start the melee phase early by running up to him on your horse." This earns a subscription.

>not just using the frenzy grab on gideon Come on, man, that's like the BEST use of the spell. You cut his monologue off and give him a Penance Stare

I see a lot of people talking about Vykes armour burning. To my knowledge, the three fingers didnt decide you needed armour off because of him. Thats not how that works. Rather Vyke didn't have a maiden to tell him the words of the finger. So when her went to the three fingers, he didnt onow to enter whilst naked. And so, his armour was burned. And he went crazy.

That Howl of Shapiro bit killed me

This build is INSANE.

I choked on my smoke when he went off on the Leyndell knight 😂 i always wondered why he's in Lucaria

Vyke prompts the question "Can a man be sapphic?"

I love the frenzy flame incantations I wish they had more 😭

Good stuff

I've been having fun with the convergence mod doing this build, they make it so madness affects all enemies in the game, but the proc ends up being I think 6%ish max hp damage, and then they deal 20% less damage for half a minute or so. Not broken, but it's kind of fun to use just as a support for your big poker.

BURGERS!? i see a BugerTank around here, I'm going to be one-man cheese burger apocalypse

For the two thirds of a dragon his left side never really gets hit by the lasers. If you start anywhere in front of him the wind up is long enough to run around him to his Left. (in my experience, and the last two times I fought him I was on Hard/Shura mode in the Reforged mod)

Vyke rizzed up a dragon, thats all you need to know about this chad of a character.

I just wanted to say I like your choice in music. I love Radiant Dawn it's my favorite game of all time

Bro you are so underrated

Vyke and subscribe everyone 😏

"Godrick the shafted" caught me off guard xDD

My day is made

I'll say, madness always made me angy. My first build was a faith build and I gave frenzy a try, it was pretty ok with one of the spells being good. Lore wise the flame of frenzy affects everything an insidious corruption that breaks down all until they are the same or something like that. Gameplay wise the Flame of Frenzy affects less things then sleep or being cold or bleeding or even the status effect 'frenzy'. Did you know there's a status effect called frenzy? it only affects all golem/construct enemies and is inflicted by, NOT the Flame of Frenzy, but crystal darts. Yah know those magic crystals you throw at stuff for magic damage. So yah know, madness its great. Against.... basic soldiers and pvp. Yes this is somewhat hyperbole but damn why does madness not even affect the creatures you can find in game affected by madness.

Day 105 of googling what he says on my work computer. Have another meeting with HR in an hour to discuss "workplace unprofessionalism."

the Flame of Frenzy incanct has 2 hitboxes one with the actual projectile and then the aoe when it hits the ground against bigger targets you should aim it so it hits both.

Subbed! Do Banished Knight next maybe? You can farm 2 of them in the Cathedral of Dragon Communion in Caelid

I don't mind Burger Time. It was always satisfying crushing the egg with a patty, but if I'm being honest. I was more of a Joust man myself.

The howl of Shapiro allows you to destroy your enemies with facts and logics

As a member of gen z, I can inform you that the correct terminology is actually “vyke has W rizz”.

You should do secret starting classes for omen killer and tree sentinel

I was listening to this while working, and suddenly the begging of the fitness gram pacer test played. Pure terror

Of course the Vyke run would have a joke about "frotting dragons"

27:00 Doesn't he only permanently die if you kill him after killing Millicent or completing her questline? Otherwise, he just respawns, taking over the body of a different Servant of Rot.

“I didn’t like that at all I’m just a burn victim now” 😂 welcome to the club 😭😭

What talismans did you go with? I wanna try this build out lol it looks fun

i feel like tulok n mango was created to be the ideal youtuber . handsome, funny, intelligent, slightly fruity, and probably smells good hopefully

Oh boy, time for some more wacky highjinx in Elden ring

Let’s tulok uploaded

4:18 you can kill the guys on the top of the tower with fire bombs from underneath. just throw them at the "ceiling". the aoe will kill them.

16:26 pretty sure vyke had no other maiden guiding him like you do so he didn't know about the don't wear Armor warning

i did this, months ago, gave my friend my armor and weopen then made a new character and he dropped them back. played the entire game with it and did the frenzied flame ending

I have an idea for a Secret Starting Class that also doubles as a cosplay build, although it's a tad obscure Agni from Fire Punch Spiked Caestus(either Heavy w/ Bloodflame Blade or Fire or Flame) Blessing's Boon/Blessing Of The Erdtree Blessed Dew Talisman Fire's Deadly Sin and always either no armor, the Royal Remains Set or Alberich's Set minus the head and arms instead using any form of metal gauntlet and no helmet or the commoner's crown/headband

What a mad lad.

My favorite build ive brought to life from youtube was the frenzied flame one. And i did his face like the Ledger Joker....... 🤙

I swear just going on the outer right rim on the rot section before malenia just allows you to run
