To explain the Destined Death thing, the Great Rune of Death was basically locked onto the Black Blade of Death (the guy that stab his hand and pulled a sword out). When you kill him, you unbind the rune so canonically, things can now die again as per natural human cycle. This is actually the system via which the tarnished (your player) functioned. The Rune of death was chained up so no one could die. When you unbind it by killing the Black Blade, you unlock the ability to kill the gods which is on the way to the goal to reform the Elden Ring using all the Great Runes
Oh dip! Thats nuts!
The first half of Elden Ring is like dark souls, definitely recommend. The second half is like walking into an MMA gym where everyone just took cocaine, viagra, and something that gives magical powers.
Excellent
magical powers? thats just the Test lol
@@robashley8216just wait till Godfrey give him hands 🤜🏼🤛🏼
23:38 that's not a glitch, he downloaded a mod for the game that removed the bosses bones.
Of course he did
17:28 "How do you do what you do without dying?"
That's the neat part. *You don't.*
Yes, Maliketh is one of the most badass Elden Ring bosses, and the lore behind him is awesome
I 100% recommend Elden Ring to anyone and everyone, it's as difficult as you make it, if a boss is too hard, you can just use spirit summons, but if you want to punish yourself and do it without them, then you can do that too, and the story is god tier if you actually pay attention to it
See, you say that. But I have also seen the average driver. About 30% of the population is probably going to get hard filtered by the "press any button" part of the start screen.
@@MrRusty103 Mimic tear exists, anyone can beat the game, I'm convinced a goat could do it
@canadiangopnik7007 I’d pay money to see that cause that sounds hilarious lol.
Woah woah woah slow down there- I am as much as a fan of elden ring as the next person but i DO NOT consider the story as told THAT good, it's Great Lore, but it's just not told very well, just segments happening every now and then with certain bosses or cutscenes. It's the same problem I've had with previous titles, with sekiro and bloodborne being pretty good contenders story wise.
@@edgarallenpo8330 that's the form of storytelling that Fromsoft uses, it gives you a pretty barebones backstory and hints at more, and then you have to find the rest yourself, for a great example of why this is so good, go watch Oneshot plays' ER playthrough, they read basically every item description, they use a wide variety of weapons and incantations, and best of all, they take shots when they die, they found out that Gurranq was Maliketh like 60 episodes before they actually fought him, and moments like that where they uncover a huge piece of lore and start theorizing and getting really exited together are so much better than asmon walking in, reacting to the cool attack, jump attack spamming a boss to death, and proceeding, having learned nothing.
If you want a good story, go find it, that's what I love about Fromsoft's storytelling
you do the not dying by not getting hit
Lol. Fair.
I knew I was doing something wrong
Fk, if only i knew this crucial information before dying
I see we all share Max0r's powers of post-cognition.
There is the shorter version, You just "git good" and than legends tell one day you may become "good".
As someone who's beaten Dark souls 1, 3, and elden ring I think the best answer to "How do you do it" is repetition and learning to accept your weaknesses. Some people are great with a dex build where you you fight up close and look flashy, others are good with mage builds where you fight from a distance. It's mostly about just learning what works best for you and sticking to it no matter how annoying a boss can be. Also every boss has a pattern, your not gonna face something new every time so eventually you'll get it even if it takes a while.
Oh that's cool
It’s also why all of from softwares souls games have such a massive speed run community. As every boss/enemy has a clear set of attacks that once you’ve figured them out it becomes much easier to know when you have dodge and what attacks you can punish.
No, you must play a strength build and not use any spells, spirit summons... in fact just unequip your flask and play with your feet.
Died? A ton. But man, it makes every win just taste amazing. You EARNED that smile on your face.
Im on new game+, its my first soulslike game. I finally tried it after I played the heck out of Monster Hunter World (also highly recommend) and realized the high I get from earning wins. You cant go back.
17:11 healing potions restock at campsite checkpoints called 'sites of grace'. The grace sites can also be used to fast travel to other grace sites. Also to level up your stats, and if you got any spells or skills to equip them.
The "bugs" you're reffering to are in fact mods Max0r installed to torture himself and the enemies
To answer your questions:
There are moments of respite and rest, the challenge just goes up while you are progressing and the later parts we see here are sorta intense due to being fairly linear. Early on you can just explore the map and don't even need to fight stuff if you don't want to, although the legacy dungeons you need to clear to reach the bosses play like earlier Dark Souls titles. Also, you can teleport to the Roundtable Hold hub whenever you want and chill out.
You refill your healing potions by resurrecting every single enemy you've managed to kill. Yes, really. But, seriously, it's not as bad as it sounds. Basically you're supposed to use up your inventory resources while pushing through an area until you reach another resting spot and you can fast travel to any Site of Grace you've activated.
You progress mostly by dying over and over while throwing yourself at the enemies and trying to learn how they work. However, it helps if you spend time leveling up your stats and weapons. Most opponents are actually fairly easy to deal with if you've learned their movies and weaknesses and your character is appropriately leveled. Finally, it really helps to have played the Dark Souls games before, since a lot of strategies and habits carry over.
On that note, playing carefully and strategically also helps a lot. I strongly recommend carrying a bow as your secondary weapon: Most regular enemies are relatively easy to snipe from a distance and can be kited away from groups so you don't get dogpiled. Shields are also a good idea, especially with Elden Ring's Guard Counter feature, though for some reason a lot of Soulslike players dislike shields. But, yeah, if you're _not_ a masochist I recommend a basic "Link" build: Bow, shield and whatever main weapon you fancy.
Anyway, Max0r actually makes it look harder than it is, likely to make it more entertaining. Notably he doesn't seem to use summons at all, and those are incredibly useful in boss fights. The editing also makes the fights seem more hectic and unforgiving than they are. (Though not by very much.)
Oh, and yes: MaxOr is using mods to create those weird flopping around effects, I'm pretty sure. FromSoft games tend to be very stable and basically free of bugs and glitches in my experience. Also, no, Maliketh doesn't perma-kill your character, that was just a joke.
100% the game is about dying, and figuring out how you died, and how to prevent it, by timing those dodges juuuuuust right. If you are the type to rage at dying, you will NOT have a good time. Or you will get over it real quick. One or the other.
I must have died somewhere over 100 times.
Or you fight the fire giant and you can't see him half the time
Very cool boss design
How many times have I died?
Yes
"If destined death is truly thy longing, then claim it"
Maliketh basically Vergil's pet
"Im getting senile. I'm losing my braincells" Dude same.
10:34 to Commander Niall? Too many to count. At that part of the game, he’s just one of the easier bosses
he took me like 2 tries in my first run, and I couldn't beat him in my second run without getting help from a friend lol
Mimic tear fucked him up for me while I shot Miquella's spinny roulette wheels of death at him
I’ve played almost all the souls games since the first of the franchise being demon souls so I’ve died a fair share of times I’ll say. But I struggled very hard on Melania as has everyone else in elden ring I died over 100 times and it was agony.
Oh my god. Well. I assume you got there eventually? Either way, if you died 100 times, it means you tried 100 times and that's badass
Yeah Malenia was the first time I ever felt a genuine challenge in Soulsborne games besides, Isshin, The Sword Saint in Sekiro, and Nameless King in DS3. I haven't beat Sekiro still mainly cause I stopped playing cause stuff came up in life and when I came back it was literally a year later and I was too shit to even keep up with first phase. DS3 I still haven't beaten Nameless King solo in my hundreds of hours in DS3, I've come close but I always die, I'm just bad at fighting him specifically for some reason. And Malenia took 6 days to beat with my friend on our first playthrough, 3 days for him, and then when it was my turn it was another 3 days of agony. I've come close solo but I'm just not good at fighting her either and don't find her very fun cause of the self heal.
This guy is a professional so he knows what he’s saying
True to lore, as a Californian, this is a step up.
Edit: p.s. You cannot escape California, like Soviet Russia it can only escape you and in a very violent, explosive way too.
Mohg and the one inside the egg (Miquella) ARE actually brothers btw and Miquella is his consort.
I wish I was kidding.
Also fun fact: "Tres", "Duo", "Unus" and "Nihil" is basically him counting from 3 to 0, which is when you die (not really but you know).
To answer you question from about 17 minutes in, yes, there is plenty of time intbetween enemies to heal yourself if you have flasks left and mentally prepare youself for the next encounter. That spot where he's at when you paused is a bit notorious for being... let's just say an "annoying walk". The birds are some of the most annoying enemies in the game by virtue of them being birds (They fly, don't stay still, and can flinch you a lot). And having a dragon call lightning down around you, on a pathway with puddles (Water will cause the lightning to spread), while you walk through a bunch of murder birds makes for very fun time. On the plus side, the birds are fragile, and the dragon is at less than half health by the time you get to him. You only saving GRACE (That's a pun), is that there is a Site of Grace (Your checkpoint/bonfire/camp in Elden Ring) about a few feet from where he's standing. The walk is short, but sometimes painful depending on you build.
Point is, Max0r edits out the majority of the downtime. Elden Ring is vast and there is a ton of time to mess around and relax between encounters.
Also, he's heavily modding during some of these scenes. During the section with Placidusax (My favorite boss in the game) and the Maliketh fight, he uses a mod that removes the model's bones. Also, he's doing fortnite dances and summon bosses into other bosses' arenas constantly.
There are plenty of Sites of Grace scattered all over, you refill your healing and mana potion flasks when you rest there, but all the enemies respawn.
Edit: 30:36
That's a joke, you don't get sent back to the start. The game would be utterly impossible like that.
I could not begin to count how many times I’ve died throughout my Souls journeys. I once spent 3 days fighting the Orphan of Kos, the final DLC boss of Bloodborne. I have absolutely no idea how many times I died, but it was all made worth it in the end. Can you imagine the rush? Trying and failing for days only to just finally get it.
And that’s not even mentioning the life long struggle against the most evil boss in any From Soft game, Gravity. And platforming, but that’s because From Soft level designers are sadists and gravity is omnipresent.
38:38 First he got Ironmouse/Mousey/Tungsten Rat/Satanas/Queen of the Underworld to voice a character and now he got CDawgVa/Connor/Infernal Beelzebub Anarchia Cruul de Apokalypsi, the Opposite of Divine, Prince of Suffering and Torment, Master of all Sin, Conqueror of the Underworld, and King of all Demonkind or Bubi for short. 🤣🤣
Now we just need both to show up in the same video, maybe even the same scene.
Ah yes, my two favorite things. Squidward invading the world in general, being so powerful that he brings the Carian Combo Warriors Mod. And the 300% Animation, also known as the *BONELESS RUN*
22:37
I am ungovernable. Thus, I will piss the sink!
aye bro you could definitely pull off a sick pirate cosplay with that facial hair
3:54 you definitely have good memory 😂😂because indeed she was
there is a healing potion, called the Flask of Crimson Tears, and you actually get it at the very beginning of the game. you get a limited number of uses, but they refill when you sit at a Site of Grace. however, in order to drink the potion, you have to wait for the animation to play, so you can't just spam them constantly - you have to time your healing very carefully. in fact, timing is a very important component of survival in this game - timing your attacks, timing your dodges, timing your spells, et cetera.
The Titan Got Crushed By the Behemoth that is the Ocean
I was waiting for this and still waiting for the new Rubix raptor video, kits gonna love it
My way to deal with the birds was to snipe them with Radahns greatbow. Did enough damage to kill them in one shot and get past that part easily enough
I have done a consumable-only run and while it starts off rough, it turns out to be pretty fun as you progress. Except on certain bosses like Rykard, Malenia, and Fire Giant it becomes very tedious and frustrating.
39:00 Emh... it is canon.
It's not only canon, it's also quite "family friendly"!
23:30 the things you are probably referring to as glitches are mods that remove a models "bones" so that limbs and stuff just flail around.
When I played I found minimal glitches and little to no changes in the gameplay.
Holy shit...that was Connor from Trash Taste doing Mogh's voice over?! That was awesome!
T*ddy milk is the flavor of Jschlatt, a funny guy who may or may not have done some funny things in 1999. Recommend reacting to some of his stuff.
The tried and tested way of winning is sometimes to just bash your head against the wall until you break through. That’s how I tend to beat the bosses
30:26 No, you don't _actually_ have to start a new character hahaha
😂😂😂
I probably died dozens of times but I never did a 0 death challenge.
Best way I went through the gane without getting hit was to join the Bloodhound Gang, which is basically just using a skill called Bloodhound Step and a Weapon called the Bloodhound Sword. They're very good at getting you out of danger quickly.
Problem is that they got nerfed some time ago, so now it doesn’t work as good as it used to.
I honestly thought the bloodhound sword sucked balls at first until someone showed how to do the "heavy attack, weapon skill, follow up attack" thing, Then it pretty much carried me the entire way through the game.
39:21 so yea this is absolutely as horrible as it sounds
That’s Mohg and the one in the Egg is supposedly Miquella, they are in fact siblings so this is incest and to top it off Miquella is cursed with eternal childhood
It’s all the levels of fucked up that George R R Martin would want basically
You got to kill everything until you get to a site of grace which you rest at and that resets all smaller mobs but all bosses are perma dead but resting is the way you restore your healing and allows you toe spend runes to level up among other things. Also maxor is modding in the no bones gag.
17:18 You don't, dying is part of the fun. There are these Checkpoints called "Graces", they are often placed before bosses so you can retry and retry again without any big penalty, it's like a really hard puzzle you just connect the pieces until you're done.
Elden Ring is hard, but not the hard that actively tries to make you rage. Playing through Soulsgames is intense for the first time, but for each subsequent time it's just an entertaining and maybe even relaxing sandbox of trying out new things, while also being able to set yourself new challenges to overcome.
The first playthrough of a soulslike has to be patient, afterwards it might all come to you. It's like riding a really big roller coaster for the first time, you will be scared and scream during the ride, but afterwards you'll love the adrenaline.
actually had a counter when i streamed elden ring. first playthrough where i tried to do everything i died around 505 times
I learned all the ways that didn't work. And died until I learned how to not die.
California makes limbgrave look like paradise...
Anyone know the song when Max0r enters the Maliketh boss fight? Seriously a banger.
I'm too much of a dope to complete a no-death run because I keep falling off cliffs. I don't know how many times I died overall but I can tell you that most of my deaths, individually and overall, are from gravity.
Give max0r a game, he'll give you a knightmare.
I recommend CdawgVA´s videos, they are very entertaining and some of them help understand Japan in a way.
Pretty sure he's just modded out the "skeleton" of bosses so they just can't really do much but flail around
Dying there doesn't actually send you back to square one, but you'd think that scenario could enforce it. Fromsoft like their fair but punishing gameplay. You should have the main mechanics of the game down by the 2nd video on Elden Ring that Max0r did. There's enough big and smaller encounters to be that sort of familiar, by by this point of the game, you should have very endgame levels of damage you can deal with your weapons. Also worth mentioning is that there's tools Max0r isn't even using in a lot of fights like the spirit summons or Physick Flask buffs. Otherwise everything is as badass as he makes it look.
The extreme animation/boneless mods are just something silly you can use if you turn off the anticheat on the game. People also do randomizers to shake up acquisitions and enemy encounters in a fresh playthrough. Once you beat a fight, you usually get it down for other playthroughs for questlines and endings. Most weapons, spells, and items are their own strengths and weaknesses to take a more fresh experience at things for gameplay and builds, and most have lore significance.
How many times I died playing Elden Ring: I lost count after 142
Have I completed a no death run or plan to do one: No and Hell no. I am not putting that kind of stress on me and I’d more than likely die within 2 seconds of leaving the tutorial
They're not glitches, Max0r has modded his game for comedic effect like removing bones from himself/bosses
My first playthrough took 136 hours. I am slow as shit. But usually bosses take me 1-12 tries, with the most being Malenia, at 12 tries. Other people like my friend, took 34 tries to kill Malenia. It all comes down to how you made your character.
For a lot of these glitch looking incidents
39:00, actually, it's too family friendly. It needs to be less family friendly
Queen Marinara.
Rough guess, but I probably died 30-50 times on my first playthrough
Max0r mods the hell out of the game. I hardly encounter bugs as presented in his vids. XD
Who the hell is this homeless guy that got into the studio?
Piss in the sink trust me U are saving the planet
Simple: you die. it's souls game. you will die. get used to that and don't be discourage
Cdawgva is funny to watch
He's using mods
100
