Ok fine, I can X) Pretty crazy tho. When they announced the incentive goal we were like 400k away. Then ppl proceed to fulfill that and add another 500k on top after and during the run. Def the highlight of this GDQ imo

You must be new to GDQ, very rarely have I seen them not meet a donation incentive for one of the closing runs.
The Scoobydoo Fragments increase your defensive and offensive power.

Its actually pronounced "Sha-doo" Scadu is old english for shadow basically
Best thing about the DLC is Bandai namco changed their splash screen. Not getting blinded by white background so nice
6:59 Divine Beast Dancing Lion 13:32 Rellana, Twin Moon Knight 17:40 Golden Hippopotamus 24:40 Messmer the Impaler
Mad respect for that Rellana fight. That was one I struggled on quite a bit. And Blanxz handled it beautifully.
Mitchriz has been a great commentator all throughout

Can’t wait for the full run, this was masterfully done.
9:04 word. I had not played elden ring but when a friend of mine showed me a stream of him attempting the DLC bosses I discovered the Lion Dancers OST. Half an hour later I was downloading Elden Ring and a week later with an insane 100 hours sunk into the game I had actually made it there.
nice job blanxz!!
Great vid. Had a lot of fun.
Shadow of the Erdtree, much like Phantom of Liberty, is a better and more complete *game* than most complete "games" companies are releasing.

Great run.
That was absolutely insane.
Wild. Insanely skilled souls runner.
Incredible DLC.
Seriously one of the best incentive ideas you guys have ever cooked. Way to capitalize on the hype. Kind of reminds me of the first Breath of the Wild run way back, when you guys got the first 100k stream (or was that a skyrim speedrun?).
Skibidi fragments
I was stunned to hear when some people gave up at the hippo. Killed him in 2 casts of ancient lightning storm. There's a very large amount of bosses in the dlc who like to stand in big puddles of water
I just finished the final boss on Saturday. Absolutely incredible.
Those Scooby-Doo Fragments are OP
I didn't even notice Aggy in the commentator box
I hope we see some challenge runs at GDQ for shadow of the erdtree...or attempted challenge runs. Hitless, rune level 1, etc.
What a beautiful run, also, F Golden Hippopotamus~! I only died 3 times in my first ever encounter with Rellana, but dying more than I can count to Hippos.
i get why but kinda bummed he didnt go until the end and fight the last boss
It's funny that they call it skidoo fragments cause I've called it that since day one too😂
how did he start the DLC with the backhand blade if this weapon is only findable inside the DLC ?
I wound up preferring the dlc to the main game. It just felt so much tighter. Looking forward to seeing a fully realized run on stage next time (even though this was still cool!)

Yeah same. I liked the areas in the DLC more, as well as the verticality and density. Also loved the challenge, and the importance of the Scadutree fragments made exploration more exciting

I hated the DLC. It's style over substance, repeating and exaggerating issues that late game base ER had. For a FromSoft release, this felt very undercooked. Honestly dunno how the couch in this run can be so positive, ignoring all the mechanical issues like stutters or hitboxes not lining up, erratic enemy placement or, despite "too much dragons" being a prominent complain, absolutely spamming *one* dragon type. Feels like FS didn't really have a solid direction or time to polish for the DLC.

I think the DLC benefits strongly from hindsight. The first play through of Elden Ring is truly a once in a lifetime experience. Secrets behind every corner. So many weapons and builds that are viable. The DLC definitely caters to somebody that knows what they are doing. I did find the world to be a little more empty than the base game though - once you beat Rhadan that’s it. There aren’t even really many places to go back and do some killing to try things out (at least not that I found). The map is incredible though. They used verticality extremely well.

Mitchriz is the best commentator!
I run fusion and zero mission and Cscotty makes me feel insanely stupid and untalented but even after 400 hours in Elden Ring this guy makes feel like a toddler sucking on my controller sticks eating applesauce
Scorpions are also arachnids.
With blanxz being allowed to bring a save file that already has everything set up just as a showcase, I'd love to see more stuff like that shown off at GDQ in the future. Showcase the DLCs of Dark Souls 3, Bloodborne, and Elden Ring with an all-boss run, but let the runners bring any setup they want. One thing I really don't love in speedrunning is the lack of creativity by the time it gets shown off at this level. Everything the runner is doing is the same as what every other runner is doing because other creative people already came up with the fastest strats. Showing off creativity with weapons and attacks you like would be so much more enjoyable, and like they said at the start of this run: it's not scripted, it's just good, clean fights played at a high level.
LOL radhan? I think with this skill you could easy beat the whole dlc ( main route ) would love to see it soon
Such a great run, dude popped off against all the bosses and was humble the whole time about it.
Ainoway
speed run without the endboss nice
I missed why divine beast was required?
What is that chest piece he is wearing?
I wish they would have fought Gaius, absolutely no one likes that fight so it would be interesting to see their commentary on it.

Those are the easier bosses of the DLC. Good luck everyone. I finally 😅completed the DLC last night
The comment about leveling is only sort of correct, your scadutree fragment level is more important than your actual levels in terms of attack and defense. Im curious how many fragments will end up being ideal in the full run.
Ehm endboss ? 😅
Wait if the goal was to kill Messmer then what the point of killing Dancing Lion?

Proof of concept Showcase? And (not knowing anything beyond the run itself) showing off fight tactics for each of the bosses routed so far without major spoilers? Maybe something closer to all bosses/100% down the line would need it as opposed to any% but here it’s more for show I’d assume.

So u mean he should've just skip lion, do skip for rellana, hippo , and kill messmer?
should be called a messmer run or something.
That rellana fight was so good
I didn't enjoy the DLC :[
Going from watching the ER speedrun to this really shows how empty the DLC is.l.
First!
Why call sCadutree fragments sHadutree fragments? Who started that?

It's just a showcase (partly for the sake of spoilers). That said, I assume there's just no solid solid route for the DLC run yet.

its because spoilers. people have lives outside of playing video games all day and might not even know what the final boss is yet. probably also because the route might be shit and because these events have to stick to a schedule.
having it be considered a DLC Speedrun and not having the final boss in it is weird to me dont know about you all.

Not a DLC speedrun per se, Blankx even opened by calling it a routing showcase of the first 4 bosses more than anything. I guarantee the Backhand Blades are not gonna be the favored weapon for speedrunning
Talk about how its 6 limgraves stacked on top of eachother but the worlds dead other than main legacy dungeons... This DLC wasn't that good honestly
only a portion of the dlc. meh
