I love the dagger/black flame blade strategy. That’s smart. Black flame turned out to be the key to this challenge run interestingly, because it does percentage damage. He was only using things that do damage based on a percentage of hp; scarlet rot, bleed, black flame etc. That was the only way to get through bosses with that much hp

I really like runs like this because, you actually have to learn the moves of certain bosses that, in ng, you normally just kill so easily you never worry about it at anymore. But now, you actually have to learn every move, and how to dodge them, otherwise you're screwed

Your strength... Extraordinary. The mark... of a True Lord.

6:00 Actually weaker ennemies are the ones to get buffed most in NG+1, Margit HP's more than double in this scnario, while Godfrey's barely increase Insane run anyway, gg!

"This is for babies dude," followed by jump cut to getting 1 shot. BEAUTIFUL Editing.

This is insane to me because Bloodhound Fang with Black Flame Blade and Bloodflame Blade was the first build I did in this game before swapping to the Godslayer Greatsword. seeing my silly week 1 blind build be used for even part of a dist challenge(most of it for black flame) makes me feel pretty happy

There’s a reason they put it where they did in the game. There’s a reason why they did a lot of things the way they did including BHF and even spirit summoning itself. Basically there were some extremely loud, though numerically few, voices crying for an “easy mode” so Miyazaki wound up caving and giving it to them. However in true autistic genius fashion he did it 100% diegetically. Thus instead of an “easy mode” button on the menu you get things like Spirit Summoning, BHF 100 yards from the start of the game, and katanas/bleed. Joking on the last one. Kind of.

@@virtueofabsolution7641 The decision has nothing to do with outside pressure (Miyazaki has said this many a time). The entire souls series has diagetic difficulty in its levelling system however due to Elden rings sheer scale they couldn’t predict how much content a player has done at each major check so they added other ways to boost a players ability outside of levels and weapon upgrades. It’s still completely hit or miss though. Everything that makes one persons first playthrough easy may not even be found when it’s needed on another players. So unless you use the wiki that diagetic dynamic difficulty really comes down to chance outside of the normal means.

Imagine if they added two difficulties (normal/hard). Normal would just be the default and the same challenge as most of the other souls games, whereas hard mode would just be this challenge.
