Test kill to figure out how broken bleed would be on this. The answer is very, bandit's knife and quickstep op. Even with chloranthy +3, prisoner's chain and budding green blossoms stamina was still holding me back from full aggression potential. I need more stamina regen Miyazaki, is this a turn based game or something ?

A hundred or more hours spent studying a boss, embodied into one spectacular fight. A solo endurance fight against my favorite boss of the FromSoft series, Beast Clergyman / Maliketh the Black Blade on level 1 (RL1) NG+7 (max new game cycle) without upgrading weapons, no status effects (bleed, frost, poison/rot etc), no ashes of war/skills or Blasphemous claw parries (since they deal a % of max health in damage on parry, counter-intuitive to an endurance low damage fight).
This is meant to be a pure fight condition to showcase as best as possible the most aggressive and latest strategies Ive developed since the game release, including the new p2 follow up baits and incorporating throwing knives in the middle of his combo mixups to damage his posture and keep him from doing arbitrary poise resets via the projectile attacks, which is one of the main annoyances in prolonged phase 2 fights where ripostes damage are of important value. The fight being on 125% speed, on top of being a test of reflexes, also help prove these strats are safe and reliable, since they can be successfully pulled off even with much less time to react as long as the correct timing / positioning is respected.
For the sake of making the fight more intense, dynamic and reaction intensive, I used a speedhack contained within Cheat engine to set the game speed to 125%, or x1.25 speed. This affects the game engine itself, causing both the player and the boss to gain speed as well as accordingly increased stamina regeneration. As a result this also sped up the skybox cycle, the trees/grass moving, etc. It does not however speed up the audio files such as Malikeths opening and death dialogue or his boss theme, which serve as proof of the entire game being in 125% speed and not simply the footage. This can be distinctly heard at the end of the kill where I turn the volume to max for it.

Very bad arena for jump stomps, you often get stuck on walls instead. Alsso what an ending...I was not expecting to see this today, why me
Hardmode means Demon Bell + No Kuros Charm (Charmless).")

Shit RNG boss, whoever thought putting zero cooldown on her triple fireball volley was a good idea shouldnt be working into boss design")
![Elden Ring - Level 1 Draconic Tree Sentinel [No Damage]](https://i.ytimg.com/vi/RmJMvSMWaFk/mqdefault.jpg "Elden Ring - Level 1 Draconic Tree Sentinel [No Damage]
A solo, melee only kill at Rune Level 1 (RL1) of Draconic Tree Sentinel without hits. This is a weirdly designed fight where half the Sentinels recoveries after a heavy attack feel like theyre made to bait players into punishing and then slap them in the fact with an insta slam or a 180 degrees fireball. Between that and the boss ability to deny you from coming close for dozens of second if he decides to spam his red lightning rain and fireballs, I felt like hit and run strategy worked better than lingering at his side for too long.
Build : Rune Level 1, Frost Scavengers sword +15, Blood Bandits curved sword +15, Radagons Soreseal, Faith talisman, Ritual sword talisman, +10 dex potion and fashion armor.

Till we meet again later on, Geni. That was a fun fight
What happened with the p3 attack at 1:42 was weird, in all previous attempts keeping the R1 spam going forced him to do an input read deflect and interrupt himself, but in this kill he didnt care twice in a row and kept going with the sweep. Maybe my positioning was slightly different or he just wanted to make me look like an idiot, in which case good job")
