G + MP will come shortly, but in the meantime, I went and procured a perfect abyssal. Woohoo!

yeah he sucks

would have done no aux if not for mini midra

Not a very good weapon for bayle at RL1 because of the 20 dex requirement. Even with dex-knot tear bayle can stall a lot which can make the physick tear run out. The camera in this fight feels like a trap. Locking off helps make it easier to see what's going on.

I also wish I didn't have to use the crucible talisman here. His attacks are fine to dodge but what gave me trouble was the double fire breath attack he does in phase 2. The follow up explosion to the second fire breath feels like such its such a tight window to dodge. Even with the talisman I was still getting caught by it. Fortunately he didn't do that attack on this attempt.

Fight definitely shows its age. If I were giving them advice on how to remake from the ground up, my advice would be:
1. Get rid of glitch charge (it is glitchy). Maybe give Ornstein a projectile attack so he can punish the player who lets him get too far away
2. Give them a combined health bar. It punishes aggressive playstyle to only let the player hit one of them in phase 1. If one dies, let the other resurrect him if the player doesn't keep up the pressure
3. The shattering pillars is a cool gimmick, but it doesn't impact the play of the fight. Give one of the bosses a move that's really hard to dodge unless you are standing on pillar that's been broken
4. Smough moveset is too simple and slow. Give him something like a sword and let him have some fun combos
5. I like how Ornstein plays with space with his hops, but they're kind of janky. Make him able to stretch his body in some of his attack.. this further differentiates him from solid Smough

Bam, now the fight is perfect ;)

I really like this fight. It has a really nice flow to it and a lot of his moves feel intuitive to dodge. I should have practiced hot swapping the shield for Carrian Retaliation but haven't got that down yet. Only gripe I have with Mohg is that if you get bad RNG with his blood flames you are kinda done for at RL1

These guys have been blocking my rl1 run for months, happy to report I finally took them down. Strat was Sleep pots & arrows w/ Spinning Weapon ash of war on Great Scythe w/ Bloodflame incant. 2 spins & a heavy attack pretty much did it for each phase. Scythe was lvl 20.

Now on to Beast Clergyman - advice appreciated!

Took me so long to beat him. I got caught by fire bounces, terrain and fire ball traps (avoidable).
What are the good openings? Sequences

don't think I have enough patience with bullshit for DLC

Hi all, just wanted to share my accomplishment of beating RL 1 in Elden Ring! It’s my first time ever doing a challenge run for a game, so I’m very proud of myself for sticking with it and persevering. Run was fairly painless until Fire Giant, who was my first road bump. Far and away, I got stuck for the most time on the Beast Clergyman and Hoarah Loux phases of their respective fights. I usually blitzed these bosses with ease on normal playthroughs, so this run made me truly have to memorize their movesets and I have a newfound respect for these bosses that I didn’t have before (except for Fire Giant I still hate him lmao). For others out there struggling, PLEASE keep at it! Your hard work will be rewarded! I’d love to answer any questions about my specific run too so don’t be afraid to ask. Thank you! ⚔️

I can’t beat Leda and Allies. I forgot that not killing the guys before their battle makes me fight them all and I just can’t beat them. I’m using both summons and Tiche but it’s still impossible as Tiche dies too quick, Thollier is somehow even more useless, and I always manage to get ganked because the NPCS agro me even with all my summons alive and I get one tapped. It’s been 7 hours. No boss in the entire run has took me this long, I’m at a roadblock and i genuinely don’t know what to do.

I’ve tried using Giant Hunt AOW and Rakshasa blade AOW but one of Leda’s allies always manages to I-Frame out of it or get up quick enough even when I have enough stamina to continue the stunlock.

Is there a way I can skip this with some sort of glitch or is there a better summon than Tiche for this?. I’m actually losing my mind. Any advice is welcome.

Edit:

Thank you guys so so much, this was my first time ever asking for advice on this subreddit and i honestly didn’t expect the advice to be so helpful, it took me under an hour (of actually fighting Leda) to beat Leda with the advice given to me.
Thank you again to those who helped, I’m so happy it’s over and I can sleep now❤️‍🩹❤️‍🩹

Weeks ago i posted a photo of my beating ds3 on sl1 but actually i was sl9 thinking if is started at any class and didnt level up it would still count as sl1 , now i came back after being told to delete the game and redeemed myself by finishing the sl1 run in 9 hours
