Awesome video!! I was doing a level 1 run a while back but stalled on it; this list is a big help 🙏🏻

I just beat Gideon on my RL1 run, I used all of these except the zamor curved sword. The funniest weapon you can use on RL1 is full spec into dex and using bolt of gransax. Radagon’s sorseal, dex talisman, prosthesis, rune arc, and dex tear outs you at exactly 40 dex. Such a fun cheese strat

It's heavy cheese because you can't get Bolt of Gransax until Leyndell on a legit Lv 1 character

You missed the Alabaster’s Sword. Even if you don’t meet the Intelligence requirements, that weapon is goated for RL1, especially when it comes to the heavy attacks. You don’t consume a lot of stamina with the heavies and also the damage is amazing. Especially great against Mohg.

@@ThorKAH I'm part way into a RL1 playthrough, can you tell me how both these weapons are good? I never see them on any RL1 playthroughs so I don't know much about what makes them good.

Nice, hope you'll do one for the other games as well. I've really come to enjoy SL1 runs

THANK YOU SO MUCH BRO IVE BEEN NEEDING A VIDEO LIKE THIS 🙏🙏

zwei, claymore and dragon halberd are also good ones. they’re more “balanced” so it’ll be a harder run overall. but they’re acquired early and easily, have low stat requirements and have good movesets for the run imo

consumables are worth considering too, especially with jar helm and companion jar talisman. noteworthy ones are probably gonna be fan daggers, volcano pot, sleep or frost pot and oil pot

Perfect content..thanks,I will try it ❤😊

New Youwy vid let's go

You should do a ranking of the best poise breaking weapons/spells/incantationd/ect..also amazing work, I love your stuff!!

I actually started a SL1 run just last night and decided to use the Iron Ball/Star Fist (Cold). I've always wanted to do a fist weapon playthrough, but the range really bothered me. In the context of SL1, there just isn't really competition though. Also, I'm already pas the Fire Giant. Hardest part of the run so far was Boggart.

@@dualwieldroxas358 most of the things that one shot you at RL1 are elemental attacks (*cough cough* Gideon) or have at least partial elemental damage. The only exceptions would be Godfrey and Radahn, but you're better off fighting Rennala than Radahn anyway. Going from Prawn to Crab gets you 6.25% more effective HP (0.85/0.8=1.0625). There probably *are* some physical hits that would become survivable because of that difference, but the list is so small that it wouldn't be worth waiting.

Power stance pickaxe is super underrated for RL1, especially with 2x cragblade.

Yes! I’ve been waiting for this! :) I’m at Radagon and Elden Beast at my RL1 run! I’ve been struggling for *Months* and the rest of the bosses took a week in total. But I just cannot beat them! Especially Radagon is giving me a hard time. I know, I suck at the game I get it 💀

I sailed to Altus with the nagakiba / unsheathe on my first play through, amazing weapon. Though you do have to kill Yura if you want it early lol

Uchi, Serpent Hunter, and Star Fists are my bread and butter for RL1

How about top 10 weapons for Guard Counters? Great Stars, maybe Golem Halbert idk, looking forward to your takes!

I dual wielded the antspur and a cold rapier for my run. Damage went pretty hard on them. (This was before they nerfed Status effect build up when dual wielding.)

I remember toying with the idea of trying to use the Watchdog Staff. The ash of war is pretty strong and only scales with weapon level, so you don't need stats to still do well with it. Bitch of it is that it takes 34 str, which I think means 23 str two-handed. You can get there with the tear but only being able to use your weapon for such a short time is not really viable, at least for me. Too bad too, if not for the crazy str requirement it would've been amazing.

I've been using the raptor claws so I wonder if you've considered them for this list?

Very legit list. I would have found a way to rank Serpent Hunter higher, but I don't have anywhere close to as much experience at RL, so what the heck do I know, LOL

I’m doing one right now. Just got to the final boss. I’d highly recommend the glintstone Kris. Especially if you are using a spirit Ashe but try it either way. Uncharged does more dps.

Marika’s soreseal (can be swapped for in heirloom); magic scorpion charm; shard of alexander; red feathered branch sword talisman. Golden vow dagger; spellblade set; Lazuli Glintstone Crown; Roger’s rapier with sepiku (if you do not meet the minimum specs, it will not take any FP) Magic cracked tear; cerulean hidden tear (can swap for int knot tear if you aren’t using a summon)

I speed ran the run with ice spear. Very strong

I was honestly expecting bloody helice to be somewhere on the list, but seeing as you didn't even put nagakiba for its high reqs, even if helice was good it probably wouldn't make it on the list.

I’ve been hoping for a video on this! Could you do one specifically for RL1 Malenia? I’ve put probably 30 hours of attempts into beating her melee only/no spirits/no summons and have only gotten her to maybe 30% hp on phase two for my closest attempt.

Scavenger's curved sword (cold) (Bloodhound step). Jump attack into her, run away. Light attacks when you have the chance. Bloodhound's to dodge any tricky attacks like waterfowl or clones. Light load. Light attacks from curved swords stagger her on every hit, jump attacks have fast recovery and deal good poise, especially when two handed. Status deals most of the damage, and staggers do respectable as well. Good luck

@@aayushdasgupta9754 It’s pretty much everything in phase 2. I’m relatively consistent with handling everything in phase 1 (frost pots for waterfowl is a lifesaver). Then phase 2 everything falls apart. I can’t react quickly enough to frost pot waterfowl, or she catches me with a normal attack, or I get caught by the last one or two parts of the clone attack. During a normal run fighting her ~RL 130 I’ve found phase 2 easier than phase 1 but the fact that 95% of her attacks are instant death in RL1 makes the much faster pace of phase 2 very difficult for me

Of course you can use whatever weapons you like be it op or not but if you’re going for a RL1 run and use cheesy status builds or ultra high damaging balls then you’re not really getting a challenge because sure you die in a couple of hits but all you have to do is dodge a few times get a long opening and cut the bosses hp in half in like 2 seconds. In my opinion not using status or crazy charged attack builds or op Ashes of War and going ultra instinct against a boss for 3/4 minutes with a decent weapon is the most fun way. For me at least I did it with a Claymore which is really good and I really should have used something more mid but it’s okay

People can still get a challenge WITH status effects. You still have to master boss moves to avoid getting destroyed by painful oneshots. You talk in absolutes here, as if no one could get a challenge whilst using status effects. I'm sure you don't have malicious intent, but you fell under the black and white fallacy with that bit.
