Can you beat Elden Ring using ONLY Ancient Dragon Spells?

ancient dragon spells are really really cool what makes them even cooler is that [ __ ] dragons are throwing them around they fall into the Dragon Cold School of Magic the ones that summon Red Lightning are considered to be ancient dragon spell variants so can we be the game with Justice spells alone well not by using normal means no but I don't have a good track record of using normal means so we could be able to pull this off first let's set up the rules as always I can only deal damage with red lightning spells no Spirit summoning and no main boss keeps now I did get some criticism on my last elmering challenge run the criticism being that Iran was a bit too boring so I'll add an extra requirement for this one I need to get all of the spells in the category and actually use them on bosses even if they are not the most optimal strategy that way you can have more variety and better gauge if these spells are any good or not also style points matter with all of that out of the way let's get to it we pick the profit for the starting class as you need as much Faith as we can get we name him placidusex and start the game My Philosophy when creating these rounds is the following glitches are extremely cool so I'll try to use them as much as possible without destroying the Integrity of the Run I.E glitching bosses for insta kills so to get our first spells we will use the speedrun in his most favorite glitch these spells can only be acquired at the final areas of the game farm Azula in this case first we hop on over to leernia on our way throughout here we pick up the two-finger Talisman as it will be quite necessary next we go to the academy of Royal Cary here Melina appears out of nowhere and invites us to the round table hold this detail is important so keep it in mind we ride up with our Mount all the way up to the four belt fries and pick up the immute sword key from the chest near the grace then you head down to the lower Spiller with a teleporter this one will teleport us to a remote location outside of thermazula overlooking it now we are on patch 1.07 so the classic wrong War glitch doesn't work anymore but the four squid method still actually applies basically while we are in this area we want to fast travel to the Roundtable hole and as soon as we see the loading bar fill to the fullest we want to close out of the application or eldering in this case this will confuse the game on where to teleport us so the game will place us at a predetermined location in this case at the beginning of aramazula this is done a lot easier on PC but it's still quite doable on the PS4 as you can see somehow I managed to pull this off on my first attempt so I was actually quite happy with that outcome now we need to be very careful because if we die here we need to do that all over again we run through the grace as quickly as possible and once we acquire it we are perfectly safe by progressing a bit throughout here we will eventually stumble upon the ancient dragon prayer book with this in hand we can finally get our first two spells the only other thing we grab here are a couple of Souls and that's it now we will pretend that this place doesn't exist anymore until we get to it legitimately we give the prayer book to our boy Corin and buy both of the spells from him after farming the runes needed from the boulder farming spot in Caleb at the start of the game we also use the spot to level our faith high enough to use them as you can see while the Spells are super powerful they are really slow to cast which will make a lot of the faster bosses and Nightmare I also notice is something quite neat the golden lightning spells when cast appear directly from my hand and then are thrown perfectly normal but the ancient dragon ones are coming from the sky apparently you literally catch the lightning coming out of the sky to Smite down upon your foes just a cool little detail I picked up anyway time for the first boss alright boys first major boss uh this channel is going to be interesting because these spells are super cool that also extremely slow if you can see it but they do a lot of damage as you can see I need to get into phase two and then I can exploit one of his attacks damn Mark oh boy that was a lot better that was more mental damage than it was physical honestly oh let me actually show you how it's done okay so we bathed two of his dagger attacks come on Market not this this is when you pull out the sword he's super dangerous actually this you want to exploit when he throws the two daggers he just go inside bam and the liking mixed in [ __ ] oh mark it down lightly all right I forgot the lightning speed has gigantic range as well you have fought well until now honestly this blockade always looked a lot more dangerous than it actually is I love how stormy Castle is actually just complete joke when you know how to go through the main gate I think we should be having enough damage to kill godric but you never actually know the only one who's going to kneel here my boy is you I let's go he's a little bit of a trickier opponent honestly because he does tend to attack a little bit before but that that hurts that definitely hurts that's not punishable attack the ancient dragon lightning speed doesn't do enough damage honestly gonna have to stick the ancient dragon liking strike that sends him directly into the shadow Realm unlimited power oh this is the first time I died to goderick in a challenge run oh boys yeah her shot better in the pocket with godric down we acquired the first Shard of the yellow ring and are ready to continue on our path of Destruction I decided that for this run radon is a much smarter boss to take on as our second Char Bearer the reason for that is that he is much less annoying to deal with than Ronaldo he also gives us more runes which we do want for a time being though we got other things to take care of first the first one being paying visit to our boy patches and deleting his existence from this world we want his Bell bearing that will allow us to pick up the market shackle and the gold pickled foul foot that he sells for more runes next we really need a better sacred seal for casting these Miracles so we hop on over to the academy pick up the key in the lake get hugged to death by a zombie and get eaten alive by an Iron Maiden called a virgin abductor they find ourselves waking up in a castle inside of a volcano here we can pick up the plus 5 and plus six somber smithing stones that we can use to upgrade our sacred seal we also pick up the best sacred seal that is possible to get in this place the archery seal which is going to carry us throughout the rest of the game moving further along We Touch some grass so we can return to this place a bit later in leernia we stopped by our boy Egypt to grab the rest of the smitting stones and upgrade their sealed plus 6 which is going to be quite enough for now back at the starting area we collect the faith note Crystal tier from the Weeping Peninsula and we teleport ourselves to Caleb to pick up the faithful canvas Talisman now it's about time we take down some bosses again we start with the archery Avatar in Northern liernia a very easy boss all in all just bait out his huge swings Dodge them and Alternate your casts of lightning strike and lightning spear the purpose of killing him was that he drops us the lighting shrouding cracked here boosting our net lightning damage by 20 after cutting down some trees I wanted to get a bit spicy see I do want to grab all the red lightning spells which means that I need to do some of rani's questline in order to fight Vortex so carry a manner was up next The Manor itself doesn't offer any challenges really but the boss at the end can be a bit annoying so I decided to take care of him in a more fun way run into Loretta's Arena and go past her right into this corner of the Arena to the left quit out of your game reloaded and voila the Loretta cheese and for some reason this still isn't touched yet thanks from soft I don't normally choose bosses but I really wanted to Showcase this one after she was dealt with we speak to my beloved wife urani so we can finally start to serve her to progress the quest far enough we do need to kill radon anyways so this works out perfectly before we can fight radon we have to make our way first to the Aldos Plateau but this time in a bit of a different way back in volcano Manor we Engage The Virgin duo in a fight as by defeating them we get immediate access to Altos Plateau the fight then took a couple of attempts because the ancient dragon lightning strike behaves in a very peculiar way that mortal being is like myself cannot hope to understand casting the spell is like playing the slots sometimes it hits sometimes it misses and sometimes only parts of the attack hit who knows but when it hits it absolutely melts so on a luckier attempt I just pretty much one shot at them and then we got finally access to the altitude here we quickly grab the lightning scorpion charm in the Windham or catacombs she touched it the hell it is behind a stone sword okay so it's here oh [ __ ] [ __ ] you actually came between okay I forgot he can actually climb ladders I hate this place lightning scorpion charm boys collect a bunch of golden seeds to upgrade our restoration flask and pick up the incantation golden vow to get our first hour above there are two important bosses here that we need to take care of the first one on my list was godeproy who's locked up in an evergald not too much to say about this fight as he is essentially the same as godric take him down is a bit tricky though because we are quite squishy at the moment but with a bit of patience and luck we do manage to strike him down giving us the god 3 icon which boosts the damage of charge spells and attacks by 15 since a lot of the red lightning spells can be charged this Talisman is a huge damage increase as you will see later on now we are going to put these spells to a test to see if they are really worth it to be called powerful as our next opponent has 80 resistance to lightning damage I'm of course speaking about the ancient dragon lanciaks residing just outside of the capital now I am too much of a coward to engage the dragon one-on-one in combat I will Reserve that later for 40 seconds so I will resort to dirty tactics here hey in a street fight you have to play dirty I lured the dragon to the low ground and then quickly hop on over to The High Ground in her AI doesn't seem like it can establish causality and so doesn't come back up for some reason here I just Spam ADLs like I'm a goddamn power station I was a bit worried that I wouldn't do any damage considering the 80 damage resistance to lightning but my worries were definitely misplaced as I just melted her with her own power with lanci X down we get another spell to play with which is the lancia's glaive probably my second favorite spell of all of the red lightning ones well with all the pieces set we are finally ready for our next Char Bearer let's see how fast radon is going to take though you're not going to summer for him though we're gonna do that legit both of grand SEC is not going to be used because this is not a weapon skill run literally if I were to use the bolt of grand sex I would literally not even need to make this run just wait wait what how did people get into the water guys how do people do that but what the [ __ ] how is there a message there probably Jesus knows okay let's run away for a second so he disappears it didn't hit goddamn RNG it didn't hit again my boy and the red lightning likes to miss a lot what in the Christ the hell happened how did I phase out of existence how do I discover these glitches look at how long does this take that's a lot of them we didn't Stakes were made obviously how much damage this does that's not enough damage to justify it that's piss for damage that's only like 600 damage oh my God really Escape that one okay it's just getting melted at this point what the hell is going on foreign [Laughter] I actually killed him with lancia's glaive oh my God oh [ __ ] to go well the golf outfit was forgotten but you can't say that wasn't epic well I guess I accidentally unlocked the easy mode for Ellen ring in the future I will need to pass this knowledge down onto the games journalist with radon down we can now access the capital but we can also access necron where we will go first we obliterate my worst half with lightning strike grab the grace in the forest because we will return here later on and collect the finger slayered blade at the bottom of the Hidden City backtracking now to running we deliver her the blade and in return she gives us the carrion inverted statue which we will use later on to acquire the curse mark of death and fight for the sex I think it's about time we actually enter the capital though and standing in our way is the one the only draconic 3 Sentinel or as I like to call him DTS this is also the pain of my existence yeah thankfully he gets melted okay but he's going to be a big problem like we don't have openings for his attacks I don't think we can actually hit him without him hitting us as well this guy is always a problem if she has slow texts can we do this maybe it's shot don't we in hell we're gonna get that funnel especially because the spell misses a lot okay DTS is a problem guys okay red lighting against red light oh this doesn't do any damage you what is this [ __ ] I think we need to destroy him like in the beginning or otherwise we're going to be stuck here for an hour okay dad hit him and that didn't hit me red lightning way way too much of it like [Music] a lot of jokes okay he's dead he doesn't have any chance anymore he's immediately dead come on my boy give me some opening please he's like an enemy with the least amount of openings besides oh I slapped him for death because fight that was amazing one more time and he's dead bam and the dog is gonna kill me if I don't get away from me dog okay let's try this is our test phase for for a little later on we need to actually figure out what can we do against him that we can do against solo as well it's not as much damage as I was hoping can we hit this he does tend to walk a lot towards us so there are a couple of ways we can probably hit a Ancient Dragon Lightning Spear here yeah we have enough time you just jump over it oh my God for you Menace okay not goodbye it seems oh yeah lancia's Glade has its purpose definitely it can be used to some extent in a good way let's see how fast we can destroy morgot we're gonna Market shackling of course and then I'm gonna blast his ass with the red lightning strike if that hits him though oh my God Morgan oh my god that hurt me I'm not going to be allowed to call this a challenge run if you're this easy oh my God we are sending mortgage into the shadow run guys good fight for good GG mortgage that was actually that was the most epic fight that I did in my life that's destruction of morgot was definitely shocking pun intended but with the resistance of lightning of -20 what can you expect anyways that fight was anything short of Epic after talking to our less survival Melina we received the rolled Rebellion which grants us the access to the mountaintops of the Giants our next destination alright now we move on to the hard parts of the game so we need to prepare ourselves accordingly first I want to get my seal upgraded to the fullest for unlimited power that's why you want to complete various questline I won't go into the details here so tldr we talked to Vare kill an Invader talk to vary again kill Anonymous and Maiden talked worry again and boom we are anointed after our anointment he gives us a teleportation device which ports us straight to the Morgan palace here at the top of the dynasty we find the plus 10 summer smitting Stone the rest of the upgrades we pick up in the mountaintops and the Forbidden lands one in a giant skull located in the Forbidden lands and one after killing a Scarab located just inside the mountaintops of the Giants the plus line we grab just from caled in front of the Divine Tower here we upgrade our second could seal to the Max and boom now we are much better prepared now it's finally time for the fire giant alright so let me see how I want to deal with this guy that's a good start what the [ __ ] what the hell is wrong with you I swear I'm not doing this for Content guys I'm just being stupid he's gonna he's gonna die immediately once I start casting lightning strikes and then we can should lightning Jesus Christ that's a lot of damage guys I am the fire Giant cataract fire Giant you are no match fire giant absolutely obliterated alright seriously who came up with the spell it's just a perfect giant boss Destroyer the final boss is going to be so much fun I can already guarantee it but let's not get ahead of ourselves we still have a lot more to do before that well with the giant down we can move on to the grand finale before that I quickly hop back to Morgan Palace to farm a couple more rules that way I'm even better prepared for the upcoming bosses who have a tendency to one shot me a lot first of all we need to take care of some Apostles and Nobles aka the foreskin duel they did annoy me in a couple of attempts but I honestly suspect that the ADLs damage is completely broken just look at the damage numbers here this is even worse than Comet Azure abusing the pillars to my advantage is also helping quite a lot when challenging this boss fight style points after their defeat I go on and pick up the golden lightning fortification incantation it gives us a whopping 60 liking resistance there are two bosses ahead in which this will prove to be a game changer the first one of them resides in the deep blue depths but in order to summon him we need to grab the curse mark of death first cause reasons so we go to the Divine Tower of liernia place the inverted statue we got from running onto the pedestal and jump into the inverted Tower we run past everything pier and arrive at the top of the tower to look at irani's body and collect our curse mark we go back to nocron and jump into the next obstacle the Valiant gargles usually these guys are a giant pain in the ass and to be honest they still quite are but we deal so much damage that it only took three attempts to get lucky enough and land the lightning shots needed to take them down so with access to the depths in Epic fashion we run past everything again touch some Grace and get ready for the worst fear seems tried to stop us in our tracks but to no avail unfortunately our damage is just too powerful and our determination is unending so with a bunch of lightning strikes thrown Pia seems go down on it now after talking to fear a couple of times and falling for the oldest trick in the book a warm embrace of the woman's lab we are finally finally ready to take down the Lich Dragon Fort sex and remember he has 80 lightning resistance alright the most epic boss team of all time my lighting resistance is 69 boys unfortunately is going to be a problem sex what are you doing oh my God we found our challenge boys sex okay there we go Lancia is glaive whoa that didn't hit me my God okay we hit the head a little bit are worth your opponent indeed and to reapply the lightning fortification guys [ __ ] the flight that flight almost died by death light right there for a second I'd like three more casts so if they don't hit we need to actually retry what sucks Jesus he's actually a menace I'm gonna I'm gonna Bank on it here Bank on it destroyed I gambled like a second oh my God like without the lightning protection it will be possible but it would be 10 times harder lightning fortification actually rips us here guys I've worked the opponent and an epic fight indeed with him down we are able to grab our next and final ancient dragon spell for the sex Lightning Spear which will make great use of in the upcoming boss countless let's actually go kill Mo first let's go kill Mo then we're gonna go to malakith Gideon radagon and so on MO be respectful against your enemies please we need a motorcycle I'm gonna go back pick up the most shackle and then you're gonna come back here [Music] what that is cheating I'm telling you guys bye bye no he healed my God did you know Ancient Dragon Ball sex that's honestly a good joke not gonna lie is that he cannot survived this good fight though you have fought well more but not good enough my boy is this the easiest run so far it's not actually easy like we do a lot of damage and we kill bosses very fast but I still need to strategize let's try placing First Look plus is going to be definitely easier than malakith time to run boys dragon lord plus your [ __ ] let's go Jesus Almighty I didn't think we're gonna do this much damage guys okay I'm not gonna die here because I'm not having any luck here we go plus you do sucks down boys time right not second phase yet okay immediately sent into the shadow realm okay oh my God I cast the wrong spell that was not the spell I want to cast Malik have died good fight Monica I'm actually afraid for radagon's life at this point radical might just completely fall over the poor guy didn't even finish the first sentence but around the entire the entire paragraph maybe she sleep this is what we need Lord's Divine fortification bam oh we also need black flame protection that's actually true black flame protection is going to help us with uh Godfree God damn the triceps on this guy are absolutely incredible that's also a lot of damage not going to lie that's phase two can we strike him down here you can it's very risky though we're gonna have to trade to this guy there is no other chance I'm running out of stamina no [Music] way to exploit the beginning of second phase sure oh no I made a mistake why aren't you in the UFC got me it would literally be the heavyweight champion I'm against the ball [ __ ] goddamn wall God free what the hell [Laughter] I knew that was going to kill a fair trade indeed all right Grand Finale boys well the other one is dead 40 sacks give me your power my boy we are trading absolute bombs with this guy the bastard good fight another one you can fought well until now all right so let's see how fast that living is going to survive or die this is not even fair Bye by Island Beast you can fought well until now good fight album Beast what started as a challenge run devolved into a Showcase of how busted
