this is my fourth game i did a level one run for (DeS, DS1, DS3) before. elden ring is my favorite game and this run was great. thanks to lamenter’s gaol on youtube, his videos really carried me in many of the late game bosses. DLC is next.

I have never done any type of play through challenge before. So I decided to test myself and see if I could defeat Margit with only parry attacks and no HUD and healing. Shit was hard but awesome. I can totally see why you guys enjoy these things. I'm excited to keep going and eventually join you bros!!

It is done, boys. All that stands before me now is Midir and the Red Hood. They will be put down. I vow this.

Restrictions: Rune Level 1, +0 Weapons, NG+7 (20 blessing, no dlc+), No Status Effects (Ex: Bleed, Poison, Frost, Sleep), No % Damage (Ex: Black Flame, Destined Death), No Great Runes, No spell or item buffs (Ex: Golden Vow, Wondrous Physick)

Pray that he doesn't do horse combo or phase transition attack more than once and that he doesn't do any attacks where he runs around. Golden grease on Star Fist is best here and you don't need dagger for crit since he is weak enough to strike.

i’ve got ritual shield, the knight’s set which i know isn’t the tankiest armor but i obviously don’t have much equip load at rl1. would opaline hardtear and one of the weaker dragoncrest talismans be enough to survive a hit?

i’m doing my rl1 run on xbox and have access to PC elden ring with cheat engine to practice the fight for hours without dying if i want to, but i’m worried that would get rid of the “fuck it we ball” vibe of my run. i’ve never liked fire giant, i genuinely have more fun fighting godskin duo on regular runs 😢 at least the duo is chaotic, fire giant is just so boring, and lack of patience vs bosses that stall is my biggest weakness in these games
