This video was a doozy. Tons of software problems and some hardware limitations. Overall not where I want it to be but I actually enjoy this vid a lot and I usually hate my own content so that's cool.
• Still lots of audio artifacts
• Some jokes didn't land super well
• Intro isn't great
bunch of other small stuff but I think core concept is good. Cheers!
@boredwisdom Appreciate the comment. Always been hard for me to find the right level of self-criticism without being unhealthy. Also I think most people dislike their own voice so hearing you say that is great news lol.
Trust me man this video is amazing, it felt like it was made by a large channel, good work.
Honestly I enjoyed this video more than any other elden ring video, and I suggested it to my friends. You definitely blow up on CZcams. I promise. Your content is elite
@@Askioth Thank you so much 🙏
@@gummypower8540 Love to hear it, thank you
Fun Fact: the Giant Rat ashes also do the pre-determined location thing that the land squirts do. Also, they increase in numbers as your upgrade them.
the explosive old guys that just shamble around do the same thing. not sure if they increase with level though
So does the wandering zombie guys
Rats are my fav summon
@@beans5784.
And they're free to summon.
@@joshuagonzalez2594 wym elden ring has no in game fees to get runes
"if only one gargolye was hard, there wouldn't be two of them."
got me so good
I think Alexander being used twice is fine. Alexander's moveset was expanded, and Radahn is a fight that's meant to be fought with all the summons, so having to memorize every Alexander sign location is impractical.
I mean I’ve always thought the jars were to some extent composite souls of the many individuals whose meat they contain, so Alexander stuffing himself full of a bunch of new warriors from the Radahn arena would literally make him a new entity
@@jessep.3761 ….. holy shit, I’ve never thought of it that way. I always saw it as he would predate the abilities of the corpses he stuffed In himself
@@jessep.3761 Theseus' Jar
I would say any in-arena summon that can be used more than once is still one summon tbh. The way the fight is engineered now summons are the alternative way to beat him, meaning the intended summons for the fight are anything you can scrape off the battlefield
The tier list was so unasked for, but such a welcome addition. First time I’ve ever seen something like this. Keep up the good work my man
Appreciate that, thanks!
Link to tier list: czcams.com/video/WTGtQpq4Sqg/video.html
yea the tier list is very nice :D
Marionettes are massively underestimated, they are incredibly useful against slower bosses or ones with less poise and tbh have worked better for me than latenna has.
In giant arenas against foes like Rennala, Astel, or the Ancestor Spirit, they do awesome work if you can keep the heat off of them. Sadly, in the overworld they've got minds of glue and just wander about aimlessly while you run off and actually fight foes 🤣🤣
They are great against Fias Champions because it causes thrm to roll all the time and will hardly ever attack. You can just take them out. I really funny to watch.
Agree 100% They got my vote for most underrated
Another underrated summon is the Raya Lucaria Soldiers. I swear I managed to keep all of them alive during my fight with the Gargoyles, and their magic grenades have helped me more often than I’m able to count. I felt like a magical squad commander too. 10/10
@@ReaverTheSurvivalist Yeah, all of the various 'soldier' summons were pretty good. The Raya lucaria one's are a bit awkward because the big 2 handed guy always sits back and throws grenades instead of womping people lol
I thought I found the holy grail when I used the Greatshield Soldier Ashes on Melania. It looked too good to be true. The 5 dudes swarmed her, and their constant shieldbashing stunlocked her as her health wittled down rapidly. Then she did one waterfowl dance and after the first combo she was back to full because she was healing off of all 5 dudes at once. Rip.
I had the exact same experience haha. Always got my hopes up until she used that cursed move
On my first run I used Redmane Knight Ogha against Malenia and he carried me pretty hard since he mostly stayed at a safe distance and his arrows kept knocking her down. Idk if he can solo her but if you keep aggro and parry often it might be possible.
@@Bradguy123 kristoff can stun her easily but his dmg output is slow but high. So he cant deal enough to out her down. Same with most of the big knights.
I used them as well. They got me through phase 1 no problem. Phase 2 jumped to hell mode very quickly though.
To add onto the Alexander summon justification; warrior jars also stuff themselves with the corpses of many...warriors. So if you assume that Alexander puts some new warriors into himself, he has evolved, and really is not the same Alexander 🌚🌚🌚🌚🌚🌚🌚🌚🌚
Not only does he have new warriors in him (including, based on his Shard, some of Radahn), but he also lost his old warriors (they spilled out when Radahn hit him)

This was a great video, very easy to listen to at work and still understand what the point of the video is. I hope to see more from you because I really enjoyed this one.
That means a lot. Thank you!
@@CytoK Dude why do you have a low amount of subscribers you produce amazing videos
@@jaxonvolking1971 Thank you man, fingers crossed
I loved the Masoleum soldiers. Not only did they have the cap for summon entities but they dished out insane damage. The greatsword ones do a lot of stagger especially against glorified enemy bosses.
Yeah Mausoleum absolutely goated
More like muscleum soldiers
@@CytoK Yeah u can make em more goated with mods, one of them I installed allowed me to make a Masoleum summon but instead of 5 it was 10 soldiers
I don’t mind the Alex Jar double thing at all considering that the radahn fight wouldn’t have actually gone any differently had you not used him at all, it would have just gone on longer. It’s arbitrary whether you used him for radahn or not, making it a non-issue IMO.
to add to your argument regarding alexander: He also eats a bunch of warriors on the battlefield after the Radahn fight; so his actual innards are literally not the same.
That godskin duo fight was beautifullly planned, well done
Finally a summons only playthrough without using tiche and mimic the whole run, earned you a sub! Keep up the good work bro
Repeating this run without missing the Dung Eater would make for an interesting comparison. I'm glad I stumbled upon this because it was so interesting. I'm hooked on the Dung Eater spirit myself but this video has opened my curiosity to others.
Yeah big bummer... Would've really liked to see how he stacked up against some later game bosses
@@CytoK I’ve used him before, and I can safely say that he is as good as stuff like Tiche in terms of damage and tankiness.
suprised u didnt mention the skeleton mariner ashes being able to revive if untouched, i felt like that could have been useful, theyve been my go to summon for both of my playthrus start to finish
I guess if you're a stickler for the rules you could always just easily do the Radahn fight while avoiding Alexander specifically and then just use him in the Fire Giant fight.
Yeah you right but I guess it worked out
Man these cinematic shots taken for some locations look fantastic. Kudos
Thank you. Beautiful game
You could have used the cursed-blood pot for the Renala phase one fight. It causes your spirit ashes to target a specific enemy. It does do one damage if you throw directly, I think, but if you throw it right next to the enemy it will trigger without the damage. Might have made the fight go a bit faster.
Probably one of my favorite Elden Ring challenge run videos! You didn't create any random, unnecessary restrictions with it and just had fun with it. Great video, and I hope to see more from this channel, it has a lot of potential!
Damn dude, thank you!
The black knife assassin in my book is a pretty good summon since it uses a range attack that take’s some of the bosses health non existent for at least 5 minutes making it a bit easier, but if you’re pulling a only summon run you can’t get it since it’s in a one of the stone jails that doesn’t allow summoning and you also need to finish the Ronnie quest to get it
This was actually incredibly well made and entertaining! That justification for Alexander is beautiful.
Unironically, one of the best elden ring videos I've seen. Not only informational, but made me laugh, had great editing style, and overall, this channel has extreme potential. Keep this up
dang, thank you!
That Northernlion reference came so out of nowhere, but made me so happy. Good video my guy.
Outstandingly well made. Hope you get more recognition.
this video and your bow playthrough have cracked me up so much that now I can't wait for the next video
A ton of dedication and a godly vocabulary, cant wait to see more 💯
Ayo this is actually kinda high quality, keep going man!
I subbed after the first minute, great idea for a run and nice concise, funny narration. Very Good!
So much dedication, very respectable
Thanks so much
@@CytoK always brother.
You're goddamn hilarious. The delivery of CLEBE was great.
That Alexander bit was fantasticly funny
This was one of the best videos I've seen lately, keep it up man!
When I saw you had only 55 subs my jaw dropped. Insanely good video, looking forward too new content and hopefully quick growth!
Very unique idea for a run, and the video itself is very well done. I cant wait to see more from you
Appreciate it, thanks!
I think this video was great and I love small time creators that do things like this regardless of what people think, so you just got a new subcriber!
Instantly subscribed after watching. Excellent video and some very useful info on the summons, thank you!
Great video! I hope you make some more Elden Ring challenge videos, really like your editing and narration. :)
Incredible video with a ton of thoughtfulness. Looking forward to the next new content!
These comments are so cool to read, Thank you!
Good work man, this was a wild video. You did great!
Thanks so much!
awesome video! would love to see more challenges like this!
Seeing how cool the godskin duo fight was makes me kinda sad that they screwed up the balancing on summons. So many people completely refuse to use any and thus fights like this which were definitely made with summons in mind become completely hated :(
People still think summons are for newbies, and wanna play "the real way" even though the game was made with summons in mind
I think the conversation should have been more about which summons were OP as opposed to just saying "booooo screw all summons". Mimic was definitely broken and dung eater is questionable to this day tbh. Mimic was only so bad because of how broken the core games builds are though.
@@zzz8606 dungeater and tiche can solo pretty much every boss in the game and have insane support abilitys tiche reduces max hp and deals % dmg and dung eater is increadibly tanky deals bleed and reduces defence
@@spirto1279 except the game wasn't made with summons in mind.
Ai is as shit as ever against multiple opponents, and most spirit ashes are simply OP
@@Archimedes.5000 No if it wasnt made with summons in mind then there wouldnt be so many duo fights and bosses with giant aoes. The problem is that they didnt commit to anything and tried to balance a lot of the main bosses for 1v1 causing summons to vary from fair to OP not just between summons but also between bosses. Most spirit summons are actually far from op but the entire system is extremey unbalanced causing both extremes to be way too much in either direction. The sweetspot for fair and balanced summons is there its just really fkn small and varies between bosses. IMO Stormhawk deenh is a good example against a lot of single bosses. He is certainly helpful but doesnt trivialize anything or take anything way from a fight. I agree that summons are unbalanced but that doesnt take away from the fact that SOME fights were defintely made with them in mind (Godskin duo and valiant gargoyles being the two best examples)
I do a lot of work and playing games listening to CZcams. These type of videos are my favorite. Great work man!
Thank you 🙏
This was an incredibly creative and well made video man, good work keep it up
very great run. you really got some remarkable patience
Excellent video! Super entertaining and engaging. Props for the dedication on this run :D
Run took way too long but I'm super happy people are enjoying it
@@CytoK you deserve the support! 👑
This is a really fun video! I'm glad challenge runs are starting to figure out how to make interesting content around the summons system, since while it *can* be used to steamroll the game's difficulty, there's a lot of really interesting strategy and build variety around them.
Thanks! I agree, summons have a ton of variety and personality. I really hope more are added in DLC
Hey brother, absolutely wonderful video :). You have got a new sub and i can’t wait for you to get big! Good luck with your future work
Such a nice comment. Thank you!
Latenna helped me out a lot. I like to think my character and her were good friends. She is amazing at big arenas and does very consistent dps.
Seriously good content. If you make more creative quality stuff like this will not hesitate to watch in the future. Great work man
Really entertaining and well put together video!
This video was fucking amazing and had me at the edge of my seat for some reason. Keep up the good work
with regards to the alexander summon being reused, the summons for the radahn battle and for the fire giant battle have different movesets, not to mention that they’re two different summon signs. so yes, it’s more than justified to use alexander “twice.”
Loved the video, great stuff brother. Subscribed 🙂
Cool video! Shout out to the CZcams algorithm for serving up your vid to me. Keep up the good work!
You cannot summon help an infinite number of times in he radahnd fight. The summons appear around the banners and when you use a summon it no longer appears in that place. Limit breakers did a great video on this
Oh that's sick, good to know. Although practically not sure it makes a difference
@@CytoK Can confirm, fought Radahn underprepared and simply ran out of summons. I think it is around 10 / summon. Still winnable, but depends on RNG a lot.
Albinauric summons at +10 are actually pretty nuts. Against the wolf of radagon they have a very bad matchup because of how mobile he is so I don’t think that’s a fair assumption. Leave the Kevin’s alone bro
Edit: I don’t think they are GOOD in the sense that they are viable very often, I just did a playthrough trying underused summons and was surprised that they are among the best regular spirit ashes (imo)
Honestly if every level up just made them roll around less they'd be B tier easy
@@CytoK the rolling around seems to stagger a lot of enemies for me, if they both cartwheel onto someone they are gonna get messed up, obviously this doesn’t apply to bigger enemies and most bosses but I’ve seen them “solo” a lot of bosses in catacombs or dungeons, maybe I’ve just had good luck with them though
@@TheTrickyTwix I think the Devs felt bad about Godskin duo, so they gave the players duos to summon as well. In this case, it’s “Albinauric Duo”.
Video was unreal man I love watching gameplay like this. You gained a new subscriber. Keep it up!
Thanks boss
Great video, I really enjoyed it!
A quick side note but there is actually a limit to how many summons you can use during the Radahn fight. It's high enough that no normal player would notice it but back when it was pre-nerfed Radahn it was very difficult to kill him with only the summons without cheesing him. I believe the number of total summons is somewhere in the 40-50 range and each summon is slightly different with how many times it can be summoned I believe. I could be wrong on that last part though.
There's video of how many in total
@@locoludwin3228 It's by Limit Breakers called "Can the summons solo the RADAHN FESTIVAL? and other bonus data."
Quick comment about 6:25 : unless I'm mistaken, the giant rats summon also shares this mechanic. I know they've had a predetermined spawn at the obelisk every time I've summoned them at least. Little surprised that's not more widely known, I figured "the boyz" would be a fan favorite.
Also I thought there was one other summon that shared this mechanic but I don't remember which it is, so it may just be the land squirts I was thinking of.
Yeah someone else mentioned this too. I only used the rats a couple times so never noticed. I think I tried virtually every other summon but it's possible I missed one
I believe you're thinking of the Putrid Corpse summon. I'm pretty sure they spawn at a set spot each time.
@@CytoK I didn't know (or remember) about the land squirts, so I'm glad you tested them out! I'm going to try them out on a future run for sure.
This vid was actually super educational at points. A lot of vids are only trying to be funny but I like how you are doing humor while also giving facts about the summons.
Glad you liked it!
Thanks for a nice, chill video :)
I never actually comment on videos but this one is an exception. Fantastic job dude, this is great
Thanks so much man
I used Latenna on my very first run of a mage build. With the two long range attackers, it does funny mind games to most of the bosses, baiting and hurting them from one end of the arena to the other end. It's really fun and I suggest everyone try at least once. It made Latenna my favorite summon.
I really enjoyed this run!! I foresee big things in your future.
I thought for sure you were gonna cite Theseus' Ship when you said the question of Alexander was a philosophical one. Still got a laugh and a like from me, great video!
Incredible. Thank you for putting all those good Bois and Gals to good use and caring for them.
the part where he talked about mimic tear was hilarious, since it's essentially him, but as a boss, so he has to beat himself
This is a great spin on this challenge. Great job.
Amazing video, really well put together
I have to say, your video serve as a good benchmark to judge the effectiveness of certain summons. My underatted favorite, the beastman summons can stagger a lot of bosses. And the fact that they come in two is a huge plus. I initially thought they are going to give me regular beastman mobs with curve swords but no, they gave us the ones with the great curve sword that have decent amount of stagger.
Yeah agree. Beastmen are very glass cannon-y. High dps and stagger but low HP. The other problem is you get them soooo late
Radahn Soldiers will always naturally agro anything in a broad range. They are very highly aggressive as part of their design.
Moving in to parry for your summons was awesome!
Gotta protec the homies
what a perfect video, the narration is so great and funny, keep it up man!!!
Thanks!
Considering the quality of your content already, I can see this channel going far with further improvement. Will definitely wait on the next one ^^
Means a lot, thanks!
I honestly really like and respect the loophole of summoning a player for one boss fight
You're the first person to hold that opinion haha, most people were not fans of that decision
Man this video took a laugh from me, nice job
Makes me wanna try this challenge haha, great vid!!
Thanks! It can be a patience tester at time but I enjoyed it
Honestly I would’ve just refrained from using Alexander in the Radahn fight entirely💀
They already give you plenty of supports anyways tbh
Yeah I guess it's true that I didn't even have to use him lol
OBOE SHOES RAID PARTY
sheeeit
I glad to say I’m part of your subscribers great vid man💯
Thank you 🙏
This was such a good video! Insanely impressive run.
Thanks a ton!
here from oboe
THANK YOU FOR RECOGNIZING HOW GODLY LATENNA IS!!! Everyone sleeps on her and it's damn tragic
Goated summon
WELL IF I ONLY COULD FUCKING FIND THE ALBINAURIC WOMAN THAT HIDES IN A CAVE TO THE WEST OF THE LASKYAR RUINS, WHICH JUT FROM THE MIST-SHROUDED LAKE OF LIURNIA. WHO KNOWS THE LOCATION OF THE MEDALION'S COUNTERPART, I'M SURE... I would use that Spirit Ash.
Latenna is not good. She sits and gets trucks in face.
@@letwolf Latenna is not good if you are not good. Literally nothing else to say here
@@rawbii You funny. If I'm good, then no need for latenna at all.
Loved the video bro !!!
U deserve the sub I bestow upon you this was just a great video and it's really showing how much u care for making your videos
obligatory “i never comment” but this was just such a cool idea, absolutely loved the video! hope more people get to see it, amazing content!
You should consider commenting more! These kinds of comment really help me stay motivated. Thanks!
oboe moment
Given how rabid the meta can be sometimes, it's nice to see I'm not the only one who apreciates Lhutel the headless. It's my favorite spirit ash.
your voice, sense of humor, and pacing in this video combine to make my favorite Elden Ring challenge run I’ve seen. make more stuff, please!
That means a lot, thank you.
I will certainly try my best!
I wonder if you could've used shabiris woe during the Malenia fight. Granted you would've had to do alot of the leg work but it maybe could've given your ashes a chance to do damage while the boss focused you
Definitely something I should've tested
2 month old comment buuuut Shabriris woe only works for online play and does not affect anything with spirit summons.
Nice run in general, but i have to wonder why you skipped Astel and getting Tiche, which may have been one of the only summons that could theoretically solo Malenia outside of Mimic
I think it’s because they’d need to beat Alecto, and you can’t summon against Alecto
@@vwts youre right. Evergaols arent possible in pacifist runs
It’s also too bad that he had to use Latenna for Fire Giant because she can also solo Malenia
@@bigminion7617 wait Malenia ignores Latenna? Interesting
@@vwts It’s Always Snuny has a good video on it
Awesome video and run dude
Honestly, the best summon run out there haha. It was awesome
Thanks boss
It’s not luck when you are grabbed have something damage the boss and the grade will ether do no damage or reduced damage this works in ds3 as well but not many people know it.
I like these videos, something like this is much harder than those speed runs that just glitch/cheat their way through the game. You actually played the game.
Oboeshoesgames
Awesome vid hope you get the attention you deserve this was great 👍
Appreciate it!
I thought I was watching a big CZcamsr since the vid is so well made your seriously underrated 😭
Very encouraging to read, thanks!
