This is from an insane Elden Ring challenge where one player only one player can damage the boss and only one player can heal during each fight. We flipped back and forth for each boss and Demon King Hiei was the damager in the final fight of the run. Subscribe to my channel for more (youtube.com/@joesans117) and to Demon's channel here: youtube.com/@DemonKingHiei
This was the most fun I've ever had playing Dark Souls 3, and I hope you enjoy it!

1. This Run is hard region locked, meaning you can't leave a region until beating the final boss of that region, and once you leave a region, you can never come back
2. a. A new weapon type must be used in each region (daggers, spears, short swords, etc.)
b. You can only upgrade a weapon once per boss beaten in a region
Special thanks to Demon King Hiei who came up with the original idea for this run that I adapted, and to Jeremy Blake for the royalty free use of the song Powerup!

Restrictions:
- No Flasks (Crimson, Cerulean, or Physick)
- No Sorceries or Incantations, including buffs
- No Supernatural Ashes of War
- No Talismans
- No Great Runes
- No Armor or Equipment that raises stats
- Stats can only be leveled to what a normal person could achieve:
Vigor: +20% of starting amount (a human would get slightly tougher in a harsh environment)
Mind: +0%
Endurance: +Unlimited (humans are actually good at this one, see marathon runners)
Strength: +50% of starting amount (slight improvement)
Dex: +50% of starting amount (slight improvement)
Intelligence: +100% of starting amount (humans can learn a lot, especially in a new place. We still can't use magic, so this is mostly useless)
Faith: +0%
Arcane: +0%
Things that ARE allowed:
- Dying (We are seeing what's possible with the ruleset. This is not a deathless run)
- Rolling (humans can roll and iFrames are consistent with the purpose of a dodge roll, so they are fine)
- Weapon Upgrades and infusions (the blacksmith does their job, and humans swing all the same)
- Torrent (This is mostly for convenience, but humans can ride horses)
- Resting at Sites of Grace (This is like taking a rest in D&D, explaining why health is restored)
- Warping Between Sites of Grace (Just assume travel takes place when nobody is looking)
- Crafting and Using Non-magic Consumables
- Only Ashes of War that do 100% Physical Damage with the Weapon and have no supernatural aspect (no buffs, no glintstone pebble, no bloodhound’s step or finesse, no carian retaliation, no vow of the indomitable)

A couple of things:
1. The death counter label changes all the time, but it always just means deaths, and it is the total number for the run.
2. The death counter does get off by 1 every now and then, but we always correct it in the end. I didn't show this, because it's boring.
3. I intentionally put a picture of not Midir just to see who's paying attention, and to see who would comment on it.
4. I misspoke at the end saying "hurt box" instead of "hit box". I didn't have time to rerecord it, sorry.

Post-Game Analysis: 46:09
There's a lot I didn't mention in this video because it didn't seem relevant for what I was talking about, but that doesn't mean I'm unaware of their existence. For example, you don't need to inform me that Kenobi or the Book of Boba Fett exist. I also wanted to make this video somewhat accessible, which is why I didn't dive too deep into the stories Dave Filoni is pulling from or mention characters like Abeloth.

In this Elden Ring, Shadow of the Erdtree Challenge Run, we throw weapons at bosses, and that's pretty much it! Let's explore all of the Smithscript weapons (and Messmer's Spear) that can be thrown at a boss whenever you hit R2, also this game has a Captain America shield.

While streaming the run, we agreed that if I happened to pick up a cirque weapon in a random drop, that I could beat the Curseblade Labirith to use them. This was just because I hadn't played with them and hardly anyone watching the stream had seen them. That's the exception I referred to in the intro, and I just wanted to follow up on that here.
Also, I know my collar is messed up for the entirety of one of the streams. I did notice it, but I must have missed it if someone in chat said something, and there wasn't anything I could do while editing. So yeah, it's just like that.

Here is the Elden Ring Random Build Generator: https://erbg.vercel.app/
I then used this cheat table to give myself the items and to set my stats my weapon's minimum requirements: nexusmods.com/eldenring/mods/48
While I never leveled up my character beyond weapon requirements, I did allow for upgrading weapons. I did not cheat smithing stones in though, and I think the run is more fun this way. It keeps you from getting overpowered early, and by the time you reach the endgame, you have all the bell bearings and runes to get what you need.

FUN FACTS:
- I think LilAggy was first to complete this run? Here's his run: youtube.com/watch?v=31YSnTkkTww
Others surely have as well, and I bet their videos are great too!
- For the first half of the run, I had to reset my health value from 414 to 1, FP from 78 to 1, and Stamina from 96 to 1 after every death or fast travel. Eventually I fixed the issue. This didn't make it into the video, but I thought it was worth mentioning, and actually made the run just a little bit more punishing.

Since it was a long run, I didn't include every single death, boss, or sidequest, or the video would've been much longer, but I think I've accurately captured the experience. If you like the video, please consider subscribing, and I really hope you enjoy the run.

One quick note: OBS had some issues recording the streams for this run, so I had to boost the saturation in parts, making me look bright orange, and had to pull from YouTube VODs in others, where the footage might will be slightly lower quality. I'll do better in the next one.
