This boss is a piece of shit. Basically Radiance but harder with faster attacks that often overlap with each other and cause some RNG bullshit, most of the time in p4 especially. Then a fun climb phase where you can fail to get on a platform and get caught up by the void, and a final 6th phase where you're likely to choke out of stress because it took you five hours to even get there in the first place.
Between Markoth and this boss, I'm glad the moth tribe is extinct, they're all shitheads besides the Seer in the end.
Charms setup (as shown in the end of the video) : Unbreakable Strength, Quick Slash, Shaman Stone, Steady Body, Soul Eater.
Praise the sun - oh wait.

![DS3 - Demon Prince SL1 NG+7 +0 weapon No Roll/Block/Parry No Infusions/Buffs/Aux [Flawless]
Very good fight. I stepped up my demon practice from basic max ng no roll and learned a ton of things in the couple days that kill took to grind. Got a much deeper understanding of how this boss works now, so its not excluded I might do a guide on him at some point hehe.
This bossfight is very consistent on no roll, especially in meteor prince phase 2 once you know how to manipulate and bait the follow-ups to his combos. Most of the RNG comes from one demon being idle while a toxic trail is coming and having to wait for an opportunity to disengage which can get you killed on rare occasions, and the ripostes in phase 1 which I concluded was not worth taking on an endurance fight, too risky for little damage bonus.
There was an accidental roll around the 23 minute mark, which was an input error that queued a roll after I let go of the sprint key on my mechanical keyboard and which I didnt even fucking notice until I rewatched the video after upload. It had no impact on the fight since I had already sprinted under the princes attack, so it doesnt invalidate the kill in my opinion. It does take a part of the satisfaction away but nothing worth redoing a good kill over. Blame the game janky controls and whatever.
Im not too sure what Ill do next. Well see, and praise the sun !

![DS3 - Sister Friede SL1 NG+7 +0 No Roll/Block/Parry No Infusions/Aux/Buffs/Rings [Flawless]
The dual storm ruler/dagger setup ended up being much more devastating that I expected with the charged r2s on wakeup doing more damage than the backstab itself, with 195 damage compared to the standard millwood axe double R1 wakeup doing under 100 damage total. Combined with aggressive punishes on p3 melees and swipes combo backstabs, what was originally a 30-35 mins estimated kill was finally under the 20 minutes mark, which is quite crazy.
I was using OBS to record that kill which allowed me to superpose the overlay for keyboard+mouse inputs, something I wanted to do for a while. The mapping excluded my two-handing key on X, and my lock-on and R2 on mouse button 1 and 2 respectively were semi-obstructed by the big directional arrow on the side of the mouse, which doesnt even work properly so I should probably remove it.

![Sekiro - Sword Saint Isshin Base Vitality/Posture Hardmode Sword only [Flawless]
This is a god of war in a human coil if Ive ever seen one. 10/10 boss, unfortunate that the arena is glittered with random rocks designed to ruin your strafes or delock you when you pass next to them, very not cool.
This marks the end of this run, it was a lot of fun. Maybe Ill do more, someday...maybe. Sekiro - Sword Saint Isshin Base Vitality/Posture Hardmode Sword only [Flawless]](https://i.ytimg.com/vi/YRUQnkATGhw/mqdefault.jpg)

![Elden Ring - Level 1 Great Wyrm Theodorix speedkill [No Damage]
A solo, melee only speedkill at Rune Level 1 (RL1) of Great Wyrm Theodorix, of 39 seconds from health bar showing (00:16) to last hit (0:55). If counting from first hit dealt to Theodorix (0:23), this is a 32 seconds fast kill. Also done with no hits taken.
This is an optional bossfight found in the Consecrated Snowfield and giving access to one Ancient dragon smithing stone as reward. There is honestly not much to say about Theodorix, hes quite basic and only poses a threat due to massive damage and health. I just wanted a simple boss to relax after Malenia, and shredding down this walking health pool was a fun break Id say. Also showcasing my new fashion which I think looks pretty good :)

![The Elden Ring Stance Breaks Experience is Perfectly Balanced
Im alive guys, Ive simply been very busy with life lately (in a good way!). Now that Im free again, whats better to celebrate than some good old unga bunga?
The stance-breaking (or posture, poise, stagger etc) system is one of Elden Rings strongest mechanics, but its often underused or associated exclusively with heavier weapons like colossals... but smaller weapons can be just as efficient to get those juicy staggers, and some like the club are even better at landing stance-breaks left and right! So lets put this mighty weapon to the test.
Build: Strength/endurance (exact stats spread shown after each major fight)
Weapon: Heavy Club + Cragblade
Support gear: Battle Axe [Golden Vow]
Talismans: Radagons Soreseal, Ritual Sword Talisman, Green turtle talisman, Axe talisman, Viridian Amber Medallion +2 (once reaching Haligtree)
Bonus items: Strength-knot tear (+10 strength), Spiked crystal tear (increased charged attacks damage), Hero/Ronin armor set (dont ask me where I got the second one).
Note: This video has been on hold for a while, as such the footage was recorded on Elden Ring patch 1.09 and doesnt benefit from the poise breaks and critical hits buffs from patch 1.10. So if youre trying this build yourself, this means youll do even more damage on critical attacks (backstabs/ripostes) than I did in this run!

![Elden Ring - Maliketh but its 200% speed [Level 1 NG+7, No Damage]
Well, I stand corrected. Looks like it was possible after all :)
Another redo of the previous meme kills, only a day after the latest one. Having done previously a Maliketh kill on 150% and 175% speed using Cheat Engine, this is now 200% ingame speed with the double speed limit breached. As usual, still on RL1 NG+7 and no hits taken.
Phase 1 was a nightmare at this speed, and the projectiles attacks in phase 2 very difficult to deal with too. This specific attempt ended up not giving me any opportunities to use Blasphemous Claw parries to deal massive damage to p2, making it longer with much more attacks to dodge and react to, so Im very glad this ended up being the victorious attempt !
Build : Rune Level 1
Keen Bandits curved sword x2
Radagons Soreseal, Red feathered branchsword, Millicents prosthesis, Green turtle talisman
Bonus items : Blasphemous Claw for parries, Bloodboil aromatic, +10 dexterity/increased successive attacks tears in physics flask.
