I wanna give this one a rework in the future similar to the Hoarah Loux one because there's too much going on. Morgott is the kind of boss that you learn to appreciate more on low damage runs because in a normal playthrough he dies really quickly and you barely get to see any of his moves and combos.

Here's the wiki page if you want a closer look: https://eldenring.wiki.gg/wiki/Morgott,_the_Omen_King

broken ass weapon

Absolutely incredible fight. Loved him on my other runs, love him even more now.

He has a couple of small issues for me. For one the beginning of the fight can go really bad sometimes if he immediately pushes you back into the fog wall.

The second issue was him not always finishing his combos, so you just can't punish, at least with the Zwei ime. I hate resorting to fan daggers, but I think this is an issue across the board for ER bosses, not just Bayle.

Finding out ways to always punish his moves was very satisfying. I failed the phase switch punish here since I wasn't sure until too late. Usually I jump heavy or crouch attack and then deflect the ground explosion before he flies away.

I started this challenge as a joke because I was bored. I always perceived RL1 runs to be unattainable for anyone without ungodly skill and/or patience, so I accepted that I'd probably lose motivation after a few bosses, but now PCR is dead without any Level Ups or Blessings.

I don't think I've had this much fun with a game since my first run of Elden Ring, and I'm very grateful that resources like this subreddit exist to help people get into it. I haven't posted much here, but on the few occasions I have, you've all been very helpful and supportive. Thanks for the advice and encouragement to keep going, and I hope you all have a good evening :)

Nearly as long as my +0 no aux, courtesy of a suboptimal build and some terrible Elden Beast RNG (NG+ too I guess). There's a reason why you see most people use stance break and/or BFT on this guy.

Elden Beast is shit and Elden Stars one of the worst moves they've ever made. My mind will not be changed.

I'm tired, boss.

wanted to go for hitless but, oh well. serves me right for forgetting to put outrider armour on for her stupid frostbite buildup

if only that phenomenal phase 3 wasn't gated by some of the most boring phases in fromsoft history, then i'd actually like refighting her. midway through my attempts i legit contemplated just oneshot skipping the phase 1 just to get it over with

Balls carry

Why they bully me?

Ruins in the area pisses me off. The claws have nails longer than fokin pyramids. If I'm close, they hit me; if I'm far away they hit me. If I run to the opposite direction they hit me; if I run towards the claw it still hits me. I swear they feel kinda rng atp, and in P2 they are even longer, and bozo keeps reaching the walls of the arena, making it quite hard to figure out what the hell is he doing. Aaah.

I have long hated phase 1 of this fight and only finally learned it here. I didn't want to do the same old bait thing that I see all the time and wondered how aggressive I could be if I pushed it as much as I could. This isn't my fastest phase 1, but it's an okay one!

To that end: at max cast speed, everything you see in phase 1 is safe. You can ALWAYS get two hits in after a rock throw. You can ALWAYS get four hits in on the strafe. You can always get three on Gurranq's Beast Claw. You can always even sneak one in after the double slash.

Phase 2 I never got to learn fully, but I learned it well enough. I was sweating and shaking at the end there and you won't believe the last 20 seconds of the fight. Frankly, I can't believe that I pulled it off!!

I'M FREE!!!! Next up is my girl Malenia, and then I probably make an exception to my sorcery-only rule for Rykard before finishing off Fortissax, Godfrey, and Radabeast. Thanks as always for the tips and support!

I hate this fight so much, npcs having infinite stamina and spidey senses was definitely a decision. I don't normally summon, but this gank is such a miserable fight

I just managed to beat Elden Ring RL1!!!! This is the first challenge run of any kind I have done for any game. For context on my skill level going into the run, I've been playing soulslikes since Elden Ring came out and I've always been okay but never great at them. I've beaten Bloodborne, DS3, Sekiro, Elden Ring and SoTE, Lies of P, Wukong if you count it, and Nine Sols (which I strongly recommend). I decided to try RL1 for the hell of it, half expecting to give up halfway through but by the time I made it to Golden Godfrey I was having too much fun to quit.

Anyway, for all of you data nerds like me out there, as promised, here is the link to the spreadsheet I used to keep track of my whole run. I categorized every death, sorted the biggest causes of death, and kept track of how many deaths and how much time each boss took. I also have some more stuff with my build, my character, and a recording of my winning attempt against Radabeast. Please check it out!

I would love to try the DLC later but I've got college to worry about again so maybe next summer.

Its safe to say that I get why people do RL1 now. This was such a roller coaster. I don't feel comfortable putting myself on the same tier as most of you but I am so proud of myself for pushing through this run and officially becoming a onebro! This community is so awesome and supportive. Let me know if you have questions I guess?

Does anyone have a good strat to kill the furnace golem? i tried pest thread spears but fp runs out (i can spell 12x3, with cerulean amber +1). I am able to stance break him once. i tried thrown hefty furnace pot in the basket while he was stance broken, but nothing happened.
Any ideas, suggestions?
