Can you beat Elden Ring with ONLY Crucible Knight Spells?

it took me eight hours of preparation to even start this run so if you're standing up you should probably sit down for this one and just enjoy the madness that is about to unfold here we go The Crucible Knight incantations are locked behind The Crucible Knights shocking I know and as per usual for these runs we are not allowed to deal damage with anything but The Crucible Knight incantations so how do we obtain the first spell well first of all the only Crucible Knight that can be beaten by not dealing damage to him to my knowledge is the one in Stonewall Castle the thing is that we can't really get stormwell castle unless we beat the first major boss Margaret right well you see this game is made by from software so that means I can do this [Music] now that's what's called the zip glitch it has to be the single most broken glitch to ever exist in any video game ever the way it works is by overlapping the blocking animation loop with the slow walk command this is really tricky and it only works on some PCS overall it's still very badly understood but I was able to replicate it with good success after lowering my graphics and resolution as low as possible so I could maintain a stable 60fps and 16.6 millisecond frame times both of which are requirements for this glitch to function properly so visit from the start of the game immediately to Stonewall castle and collect the grace there the path to The Crucible Knight in the castle is a bit hidden you need to jump over this part of the wall and fall down all the way to the fake platform that crumbles once you land on it once you're at the bottom of this place the cruise Moonlight should be just around the corner eagerly waiting for you now there is a neat little way to deal with him we learn him over to the elevator and as soon as he steps on it we activate it wait for the elevator to rise a bit and immediately roll down to the lower floor this usually makes him fall down which is just hilarious if you ask me such a mighty foe overcome by the help of and from software elevators thanks music with him down we receive our first main spell aspects of The Crucible horns now though we are faced with another conundrum how do we leave Stone wheel we cannot defeat Market or godric yet as we haven't met Melina and can't level up to use the spell so what do we do the zip glitch is gonna come to our rescue once again we make our way back to the entrance of the market Arena by first zipping onto this platform that connects to it and then walk to the grace next to the front entrance to strongmail Castle here you're going to perform another zip glitch that will teleport us to an invisible platform right next to the left side of the walls of the castle we do this in a way that when we arrive over there we die to fall damage because luckily on the other side of the wall there exists a stake of America that's in the range of the platform and hence us as well meaning that by dying on this platform we can choose to respawn right next to the state of America and in this way we can escape Stonewall castle and finally start the run properly Melina you have no idea how happy I am to see your face now the things I have to do to even get to here now give me my beautiful horse before we continue there is still one more Teensy tiny little problem that we need to solve because we skipped the starting area we never got the flask of Cerulean or Crimson tears meaning that we cannot heal or replenish our Mana thankfully that problem is quite easily solved by going back to the place where we usually wake up after being defeated by the tutorial boss here the game kinda gets confused and forces the waking up cutscene anyways and after the cutscene concludes we get both of our flasks that we previously skipped now with this all the major preparation problems have officially been solved I haven't really explained the rules for this challenge run yet so let's just go over them quickly here I can only deal damage with Crucible night spells no summoning no major boss keeps I know we technically skipped the market already but don't worry though I will go back and delete him legitimately in fact let's do that immediately and test this spell out if you're gonna stick my horns up Margaret's ass right now ah Stormville Castle we're gonna go legitimately now let's see how the aspect of The Crucible horns actually do to you oh my God we actually have enough points to tank this attack we do a lot of damage though if you don't I think we don't have enough damage to actually kill him right now we got the second phase at least okay the aspects of The Crucible are pretty solid shoulder checking Market will never not be funny but I think we need to grab some more Buffs before we start doing some serious damage we mostly just need flask upgrades for now which can be easily picked up in the Weeping peninsula here we can also grab the Fate mod Crystal tier for our physics flask I also grabbed the first damage boosting Talisman in this run located in Celia Crystal tunnel which is the faithful chemist Talisman that boosts our Damage Done by incantations by four percent not much but it's a good start now let's go back to our boy Market honestly I'm so used to fighting fire Giants I don't even know how to fight normal bosses anymore charging this doesn't actually actually charging this might be better than I thought oh I got the underneath his attack oh this is cool we are out of heels officially come on don't move yeah up his butt perfect GG I already gotten through stormhail stormhill so we don't need to waste my time on that so we're just gonna go directly to the rampant Tower and go to the godric fight let's see how we're gonna deal with this big boy this guy this guy's gonna be a little bit difficult it might need some more upgrades for this guy though or we don't we can actually stagger him to death godric is a little bit difficult Gothic is another Beast entirely he's much more tanky than the market here so let's upgrade our setup for real this time around we head over to the academy and on our way we collect two-finger Talisman to boost our pay stat and grab the teleporter in the purified runes to transmit us to the entrance of the academy we hope they only to the lake and head over to the dragon to grab the key to real lucaria now these spells do mostly physical damage and we don't have too many ways to buff that damage type but we can still manage to do a decent job at that we aggravated the abductor at the bottom of the academy so he teleports us to volcano Manor here we can grab the plus 5 and plus six somber smithing Stones which will be used to upgrade our seal that we are also going to grab in this place the main seal for this run is going to be the archery seal as for a pure fake custard it is by far the best choice funnily enough the seal doesn't actually boost the damage of the archery incantations unlike the other seals which doesn't really make sense to me but oh well in any case once we have the Talisman we go on over to our fellow EG and upgrade this bad boy to plus six massively increasing our damage output pal now back to public time to ram my horns up godric's behind he does that attack which can be exploited I think to this oh yeah definitely I think I headshotted him right there oh my God the girl requested I'm fine you could not stagger godric what should be staggered by now all right now let's avoid the earthquake here and let's finish this fighting Epic god require your light I want to finish this in Epic fashion godric you're making this difficult this is epic fashion let's go back down shoulder checking my enemies is fun but it won't satisfy me fully so let's go collect another incantation and it's located immediately on stormhill in an Ever jail inside the ever jail we will find another Crucible Knight who would have thought during the fight though I noticed something quite peculiar the horns actually knocked these guys back and not only that they also seem to cancel their attack Animations My immense shoulder strength must really be too much for them I guess because of this The Crucible knife poses no danger whatsoever and we easily take him down to grab the aspects of The Crucible tail with these two incantations in hand we go back to Stonemill castle and scale the Divine Tower the reason is simple we want to activate godric's great room as it will give us plus 5 to all stats once equipped I'm not sure why I haven't used gray Tunes in my previous runs even though I definitely should have done so but oh well you'll learn something new every day I guess well now it's time we head over to the Altos Plateau we collect both of the decks medellins located in fourth height and for Pharaoh respectively and head over to detectives lift once we arrive we go over to the Luxe ruins and demolish the Golem in this place with our immense shoulder strength and collect the ritual sword Talisman which boosts our damage output by a lofty 10 now we have a choice here we can either take care of general radan or renala but since renala is the easier of the two they go and take care of her first and we leave the general for later red wolf of radagon let's go place you do a lot of damage okay we do a lot a lot of damage the problem is he also does a lot a lot of damage I hate this fight sometimes if you have slow spells this fight is an absolute health stay where you are yeah clutch Victory guys clutch Victory oh my God that was way too close for my liking are you gonna use to keep the singing kids yes I'm gonna do use the incantations for exactly that purpose hopefully we're gonna have enough damage that is the only problem that I'm a little bit afraid of okay it's perfect we have enough damage definitely now we're gonna send her flying but another space program in coming boys are another space program another space program and she immediately jumped over my attack he's like the most unassuming boss fight Center flying heel this should be Gigi bam good fight alright the two shards of the yellow ring in our pocket we might want to pick up some more upgrades to our setup the first one on the list is going to be Godfrey who is locked up in every jail on the aldostateau now his moveset is just the same as godric but his health bar resembles more the fire giant with how tanky he actually is the fight itself though revolves around just baiting his most dangerous attacks and punishing them accordingly not gonna lie he took a couple of tries to take down but eventually he does giving us go through his icon which boosts the damage of charge spells by 15 this is going to be our main damage boosting Talisman of this build as charging these spells isn't necessary to use them effectively now here at Altus we also collected the incantation golden valve which boots our damage and defends by quite a lot then we backtrack to Caleb to collect flame grant me strength which boosts physical damage by a whopping 20 now we are getting into a territory where our damage starts to rise exponentially in caled we can also complete gauri's questline doing that will give us another great Talisman but first we need to take down commander on Neil in this one we sneak behind them buff ourselves to the absolute maximum and start a shoulder checking routine on his ass we don't quite manage to take him down immediately so we finish him off by luring him all the way out into the swamp and let the Ohio geysers do the dirty work for us he gives us the needle which he can take back to gauri so we can heal Millicent in a church above now because we only need a Talisman from gauri an easy way to get it early is to shoulder check Millicent into submission and then give gowri the same treatment afterwards that way we immediately get what we want flock's canvas Talisman an upgrade to the previous camera stylus when we picked up I've just realized all my challenge runs involve obliterating innocent maintenance anyways let's go with the capital they slap his face we knock him oh my God what what you're supposed to go like into a stampede but the the fully charged horns are chicken away I'm not gonna lie that's quite funny Tigers is attack oh my God like look at it stopped his Fireball attack it's insane my God that's actually followers it's breaking my frame rate but I'm breaking his spine come on to the attack throw backwards and GG bye bye the Poise you get from these spells is insanity time to figure it out though that's a lot of damage though I was expecting that damage not going to lie to you okay we can hit him here okay he hits me on that yeah I hit him he's dead just go for it goodbye uh more faith please let's try a tail guys Morgan give your give me your knife attack there we go you have your tail and I had mine this is actually amazing the only problem is we have only one opening so and in the second phase I'm not sure what you're going to do with the second phase attack his attacks are deceptively long-ranged that's the wall oh my God that's so stupid I'm dead oh my God the spell was too slow more with my boy calm down okay you're dead there's no way to surviving this time it may still kill me he's more about after all and he's dead good fight with the omen King down we are now granted access to the mountaintops of the Giants where the real challenges are about to unfold in front of us before we hop on over there though we need to take care of our fashion because it sucks right now but we can fix that easily we head over to auriza's Hero Stone here we need to avoid the Chariots at all costs and just run for our lives I really hate these things thankfully the boss room that we seek isn't too far into the dungeon but the boss we are about to face isn't gonna do us any favors either bro these spells are broken I swear to God these spells are not freak at all all right this guy this one is my second phase oh Jesus you can actually the oh the pillars are actually not here to help me you have your Crucible incantations and I have mine if bunk bunk one down I'm pretty sure we can just trade with him and he should be able to like yeah they're gonna just push him away I think he's a little bit weaker as well good fight defeating one of the most annoying boss battles in the game awards us with something quite nice The Crucible Knight armor besides just looking goddamn cool each piece of the set gives a four percent damage increase to aspects of The Crucible incantations for a total of 17 damage increase to the incantations since the buff Stacks multiplicatively now that's a hell of a damage increase pair that with the fact that you are now an incantation casting tank and we have a hell of a build in front of us now we are set so let's head over to the mountaintops on our way up to the mountain tops and we pick up the plus 7 and plus 8 sombra's meeting Stones which are neatly located along the path to the top the rest we just kind of run past and head straight to the fire giant now fighting the fire giant with the Plus 8 seal is not the easiest thing in the world thankfully for the first phase the tail incantation manages to do the job really well and it even manages to stagger him quite easily second phase fire giant is another matter entirely though we just don't do nearly enough damage to him right now so we run out of Cerulean flasks and have to accept our defeat let us put the fire Giant in our back pocket for now until let's take care of some of the other demigods first out in the coming boys let's go down shoulder checkered oh my God the poor little poor Leonard doesn't have a good he's not going to have a good day today I'm actually surprised we haven't poised broken at all good fight if only the five giant was as easy as radon now an easy solution to our lack of damage is to upgrade the seal so we go and complete bodice questline so we can get access to the mogwin Palace once we are at the Morgan Palace we can collect the plus 9 and plus 10 as somber smithing Stones respectively and it does in hand we upgrade our seal to the maximum before I go and beat the crap out of the fire giant there is still one more spell I'm going to try to get keyboard here being try the last Crucible incantation is locked behind prieter reichardt and with him being a gimmick boss that you usually defeat with a special weapon doesn't give me too much hope that we are going to be able to get the last incantation okay I've seen all I need to see get staggered oh my God these spells stagger nobody good fight yala is going to be definitely a problem oh man the damage is pretty good bro I think reiker has more HP so this doesn't seem doable right now but it might be doable later on defeat the god devouring serpent right now absolutely no chance in hell how much damage do we actually do to reichardt that is the question right now oh yeah this is definitely impossible guys suppose I got attempt I can safely say that try cards for all intents and purposes is impossible to defeat with these incantations but hey at least I tried but now it's time to go back to the project [Music] the tail is definitely a better spell for this guy though which is pretty nice it's pretty neat and there we go finally perfect stagger actually yeah the chords aren't going to be second phase definitely damaging I think how do we hit his hand though I think we're gonna have a free game here fire giant go away just go away thank you that was an infuriating boss fight with the fire giant felt they are left with the following bosses in this order force can do maliket Gideon Gottfried Mo placidusex and rather Beast I'm mostly worried about placidus in Godfrey as they seem like they will be a bit of a problem to defeat with these spells I mean that's pretty good damage if you figure out a good strategy for them this is going to be easiest cake well one down I'm breaking the game great talking guys okay what this girl what is going on one hit bam honestly starting this round I have never thought these incantations would be easy to do oh yeah baby on the back are you [ __ ] okay yeah I knew it I knew that was stagger I knew it you should have got staggered here get tailed Malika my tail is better than yours man Gideon my boy you don't know what you're dealing with you don't know you don't know what you're dealing with here like I told you it's going to be a short-played fight into space we go Gideon good fight now that Gideon has been sent into space let's see how Godly is actually going to do I think Godfrey's actually going to put a valley and effort Logan can I show the check oh I can well that's why grappling Williams boys that's why grappling is actually op this guy is insane Miyazaki is again at it sabotaging everything should have been a side attack I won't question it I'm questioning his resilience though there we go that's a good second phase empty though oh nice to get kicked in the face naturally now we wait for this to launch attack goodbye Godfrey I would not advise having an MMA match with the first Ellen lord it's not really a good idea this guy would give Karen a run for his money if you know what I'm talking about in any case before we go and beat up brother Beast let's take care of some of the optional bosses first how shall we deal with you I think actually buffing and then shackling is the way to go here oh my God I'm so confused why are we not able to actually like why is your paw is not being broken man what the hell please come to me Mo please I see it as clear as they and that is the Lord of blood boys all right plus it do sex maybe it's going to cooperate this time this fight was actually very easy for me on the first playthrough but after the first playthrough it never was easy again nice he finally broke somebody's poised boys took me hundreds of years to actually break somebody's voice but we did it we finally did it oh the goddamn tail oh no that I said we don't need to mess it up what the [ __ ] the clutch is incoming I hate that attack that attacks herpes itself good fight Dragon Lord oh my God I was so close bro this fight is insanely tense insanely tense Jesus I don't know what's up with these Ellen Lords being so tough in this challenge rather oh plus you do sucks and horalu have given me a run for my money today but with all of these annoyances down it's finally time to challenge the final boss and give him a proper shoulder checking routine because radagon is kind of passive at the beginning and we can actually do this gonna eat a hit I don't mind eating kids it can damage another one a lot I'm gonna trade with you another one because I don't actually feel you that much yeah that's why the tail against him is not going to work at all I forgot to fight him but I did what the hell was that why did you turn around what is going on today I can actually do with this stack here I couldn't take advantage of it but he didn't break him out and we missed yo he's also confused as well as I am actually I should have used that before yeah 3 000 damage boys three thousand it's a lot of damage if the lmb's cooperates he's gonna die the album Beast is actually cooperating boys what is going on today the fail attack boys is actually kind of cool do a melee attack that's not a melee attack that's a quasi melee attack GD good fight Alden Beast GG boys Crucible incantation run done like And subscribe if
