I'm alive guys (again)! So the Elden Ring DLC - Shadow of the Erdtree introduced a new crystal tear adding Sekiro-like deflects, which can entirely change players approach to the gameplay. Paired with a strong guard counter oriented build like the Blacksteel Greathammer and the right items, this trivializes the entire DLC despite its infamous reputation of difficulty... in a way that's completely Miyazaki approved. Now imagine unleashing it in the base game... :)
P-S: This video was done in the 1.13 patch. Consort Radahn is pre-nerf
Build: Strength/Faith/Endurance (exact stats spread shown in the intro sequence)
Weapon: Black-Steel Greathammer + Cragblade
Support gear: Fingers Seal to cast Golden Vow
Talismans: Blade of Mercy, Two-Handing Talisman, Curved Sword Talisman, Dagger Talisman
Bonus items: Deflecting Hardtear, Stonebarb-Cracked Tear, Oathseeker/Black Knight armor sets
Background music used:
The Elder Scrolls IV - Oblivion Soundtrack - 04 Harvest Dawn
Jet Set Radio Soundtrack - Sneakman
Elden Ring SOTE OST - Divine Beast Dancing Lion
Sonic - Lights, Camera, Action! - Studiopolis Zone Act 1
Super Smash Bros. Ultimate - Bloody Tears/Monster Dance
Elden Ring SOTE OST - Promised Consort Radahn

So I wanted to do a fun Demon Prince kill for pete, and here I did that. I got a terrible RNG with their positioning halfway through p1 and the beginning in p2 with the two fireball volleys and him hugging the wall for the first meteor attack, preventing me from getting the post-punishes by hitting his back legs/tail. Still took me only about 40 mins to get oh oh.")

Compilation of all bosses of the Convergence mod, done in NG+ on version 1.7.1 with a sl150-160 Aeromancer using aeromancies with Azals staff, the storm curved sword and the air divine blade. No damage taken in fights on top of that.
Edit : I forgot about the Rekindled abyss watchers bossfight which I missed at the time of this compilation. I beat the fight in NG on a different savefile (but still with an aeromancer and no hit) here : https://youtu.be/uEjJdmGrGx8

Local man with large pole gets high on perfume bottles and kills a literal goddess.
A solo, melee only kill at Rune Level 1 (RL1) of Malenia, Blade of Miquella / Goddess of Rot, without parrying or taking hits.
This is an optional hidden boss and also the hardest boss in the game. No debate about this, and no need to explain why shes so tough - her reputation speaks for herself. I found a halberd moveset to be good at controlling her and pressuring when she idles or interrupting attacks, coupled with throwing knives to bait out the scripted flurry in p1 and outspace, and Bloodhounds step on the weapon incase she goes for a point blank flurry in p2. Bloodboil aromatics give good bonus damage which I used as I meant for this to be a speedkill, but she has so much health that despite all that it was still a 3 minute long kill, which I cant really consider a proper speedkill by my standards. Still a satisfying fight though.
Build : Rune Level 1
Cold Banished Knights halberd +25 [Bloodhounds step]
Radagons Soreseal, Red feathered talisman, Blue dancer charm, Viridian amber medaillon +1
Bonus items : +10 dexterity/strength physics potion, throwing knives, bloodboil aromatics and fashion armor.

O, Death. Become my blade, once more.
A solo, melee only Rune Level 1 (RL1) fight against Beast Clergyman / Maliketh, the Black Blade on NG+7 (maximum New Game cycle) with no upgrades, no auxiliary effects (bleed, frost, poison, scarlet rot etc), no buffs (weapon or body buffs), no AoWs, no talismans and no hits taken.
So I remastered my previous remaster, again. This time ditching the powerstanced Lordsworn straight swords in favor of the Hammer for its good charged R2 and poise damage, and featuring more ambitious strats with the Ground rupture punish in p1 and the Aerial spin into Blade of Death flurry strafe shown to me by Shilkey in his endurance torch only kill. I also went a step further than my previous kill on RL1 NG+7 +0 weapons with ashes of War and talismans by ditching Bloodhounds step entirely and making this a no ashes of War kill as a result. Still using Blasphemous claw parries however for the style points and to diversify the fight mechanics a bit, eventhough the flat damage inflicted to Maliketh with every parry made phase 2 significantly shorter than p1, which is a shame as its the most fun one of the two in my opinion.
I am very statisfied of this kill, the only downside being the several charged R2s I missed towards the end of the phase 2 due to overestimating the hammer range and being tired after a 5 hours long session of fighting Maliketh without interruption. Its unfortunate, but oh well you can consider it a comical addition to the ending of the fight :)
