Beating every Elden Ring Legacy Dungeon using ONLY equipment found within
A pretty whacky challenge run video for Elden Ring, a sequel to the Minor Dungeon run in the same vein!!
Here, I need to beat every Elden Ring LEGACY dungeon using only equipment found inside each specific dungeon. For example, Godrick must be beaten using only equipment found inside Stormveil Castle.
Hope you enjoy this video and leave comment below to let me know your favourite Elden Ring Legacy dungeon!

They buffed light roll to carry you further in a patch over the summer. It makes Waterfowl Dance much easier to dodge if you have it.
Ahhh ok, that makes sense then. I knew something was different
@@JKLeedsthey also made it so that the distance you roll with the light roll increases inversely with your weight, but I don’t know if it’s based on the percentage or the actual number
Yep! That’s part of what let me beat Malenia the first time! I did it with my fists, which I’m (maybe a little too) proud of. EDIT: I would like to clarify that I used the Caestus.
@@TheActualMrLink I don't think it's possible to be too proud ofd beating her fist only
@@TheActualMrLink fists do like 4 damage, were you fighting for an hour straight?
Dragons are resistant to strike damage, so thats probably why Placidusax's fight was as much of a slog as it was
Well today I learned! No wonder that huge weapon seemed to not do very much damage
@@JKLeeds he's also resistant to fire and the hammer has fire damage
@@tom2571I thought he would’ve been (more noticeably) resistant to lightning, given how well-acquainted he is with it?
@@TheActualMrLink but it’s red lightning so fire lighting I guess
@@dontblink8397 I think it's just cause it has scales
Just something to mention, the ripple blade and halberd are unique as they scale solely with arcane but can't be infused, because their intended use is to be a vessel for greeses, as most of them scale with arcane when applied
Useful to know for future!
Is THAT how greases work? Huh, never knew that. Update: it turns out that’s specifically how greases that inflict STATUS EFFECTS work. Fire is boosted with faith, magic with intelligence, etc., etc.
@@TheActualMrLink oh hey I've seen you on the ggst lyrics videos
Yeah the ripple halberd and it’s axe counterpart instantly procs status’s like sleep in one hit
@@BadModder Guilty Gear has become one of my hyperfixations. :D
Dragonscale Blade is one of the coolest weapons in the game imo. What it lacks in damage it makes up for in edginess :D
I think it's great! Shame you have to beat that super annoying boss to get it
@@JKLeedsTbf, the boss isn’t that annoying if you’re playing a normal play through. You however, did not lol.
Malenia's WFD was never nerfed, but the roll distance (most notably the light roll) is substantially greater now. it's such a treat to watch other people's strategies for dodging the move. this was a very engaging watch! thank you :^)
Thank you my friend! Glad you enjoyed it. Also yeah super grateful for that light roll buff!
Stormveil is actually my favorite, simply because there's way way way more in it than you'd think. there's so many secrets that being summoned to guide players around it means I almost always show them something they've never seen before. You'd think such an early area would have a lot less going on but no, From Soft proves yet again that level design is their truest strength
I think a run where you use the same weapon type vs the boss would be fun. Great axe vs Godfrey but then switch to fists for his second phase ect
What about taking it one step further and using their own remembrance weapon(s) against them? 🤔🤔
I actually did almost exactly that for Godfrey! I used the Highland Axe for his first phase, then Caestus for his second. Mostly because I coincidentally used those two weapons for the whole game, but also because I think he’s SUPER FUCKING COOL.
What worries me is that our baby seems to enjoy watching you play these games rather than watching In the Night Garden… Also 42:55 epic tune 👌🏼
He's a child prodigy. Give him a year and he'll have beaten Dark Souls 1,2 and 3 😁
22:30 woah that’s me! Super cool to make a surprise appearance (perhaps a bigger collab could be on the horizon? 🤔🤔🤔) and glad you also became a fan of the Bolt! I’ll also mention that the dragonkin weapons are both personal favourites as well. I enjoy all the legacy dungeons in the game but my top 3 would be Stormveil, the Academy, and then a tie between the Capital and Farum Azula. Love this series, and would certainly be interested to see similar runs in other games in the series. In most challenge runs I’ve done (SL1, magic only, bow only, etc) I ended up using only a handful of weapons at most. In fact, I’ve never even used a twinblade in DS2. Can you believe that? Speaking of DS2, I just started a new run and unintentionally managed to adhere to the challenge’s rules through the Forest of Fallen Giants. If you don’t mind, could I perhaps yoink this idea and do a DS2 video on it? Would be certain to credit the idea to you
Hey, you go for it re the DS2 vid! I certainly don't own this idea 🙂 hit me up with an email and let's go from there re collaboration 😀
@@JKLeeds will do! Thanks for the green light, I know I theoretically could just do it but I’d feel bad for not asking
I found your channel at just the right time during my Souls games kick. Your content is awesome. Also love the background music choices!
Thanks friend! Welcome to the channel 🙂
Awesome video again. You've become one of my favorite youtubers as of late. I like how you're a regular guy just sharing your love for these games, not playing a role for maximum views. Keep it real dude, happy 2023!
Ah what a nice comment! Thank you, really glad you liked the video 🙂
fr
Aspect of the Crucible: Horns isn't really a damage spell. It has good poise damage and inflicts a knockdown on most human sized enemies, the kind where they get flung into the air before landing on their face.
Maaaan In the Night Garden is a series of trips. Fond of that show but I have no idea how we had fun with it back then. Great vid sir
Haha trippy stuff indeed! The creators were on something for sure
@@JKLeeds oh by the by, Waterfowl Dance wasn't nerfed but Light Rolling was buffed to have a larger roll distance. Apparently it's now faster than sprinting?
Ahhh ok! I thought something was different. I remember trying that back in May time and I'd never be able to get that far away
All of your videos are so entertaining. Thank you for making them! I do video editing so I know how frustrating that can be sometimes, so I'm very appreciative you power through on top of coming up with ideas and scripts for your videos on top. Cheers!
That's very nice to hear you enjoy them 🙂 video editing can be challenging but honestly I really enjoy it. It's kind of like putting together the pieces of a puzzle
That "are you still here?" at the end got me, because I bolted to search for the song before continuing lol
That final Malenia kill was 🔥🔥
Thanks man! I was genuinely happy with it. Hope you enjoyed the video 🙂
By far your best video my dude, hope you continue to make stuff like this!
Thank you! Glad you liked it 😃
I love it whenever you post a new video. You're quickly becoming my favorite souls KZheadr!
Ah thanks man, great to hear you're enjoying the content 🙂
Nice man. First video. Very professional, funny but not trying to hard. Not too much language and good editing balanced with restraint. Great stuff!
Thanks! Glad you liked it 😀
loved your channel man, you got video ideas that i've never seen anywhere and the attention that you have with your subscribers, like, you answered every comment, thats crazy. You got a new sub, keep doing these type of videos
Thanks my friend! That's lovely to hear. I try to answer most comments where I can, although sometimes it isn't possible 😅 welcome to the channel!
Just found your channel Reaaaaaally good video. Enjoyable and interesting tto see all those different weapons you dont nofmally see Great job!
Thank you friend! Glad you enjoyed the video 🙂
Yesssssss, I've been waiting for this one. Awesome!!
It's been one of my favourite vids to make, enjoy 😃
Top 3 legacy dungeons (not just in elden ring but the whole series for me): 1. Leyndell 2. Stormveil 3. Farum Azula
Leyndell is so epic 😍
Best challenge run video I’ve ever seen, you kept me engaged the whole time. Your wholesome dad voice is awesome!
Ahh thank you, that's very nice to hear 🙂
Its nice to see someone else who likes Placidusax! My personal faiv is Mohg, second faiv is Godfrey and 3rd is Placidusax. I personaly do enjoy the valiant gargoyles for some reason. Its kinda fun to multi task. A great video i hope to watch more!
Placidusax is such an epic fight. Glad you liked the vid and welcome 😃
Very enjoyable video, great job!
Thanks friend 😃
Great video as always! I may try this challenge for myself
It was honestly pretty fun! I'd recommend it more than the Minor dungeon one
Yooo I’m so glad the algorithm recommended your channel to me! Love the run and love your music choice. Also definitely remember watching In the Night Garden when I was a kid so that’s a fun reference😂
Haha glad you liked it buddy! Welcome to the channel! 😃
Love the video dude enjoyed it all
Thanks man, glad you liked it 😀
Ah but the highlander axe is so good! "Just an axe" undersells it so much! Most of the other axes in the game require much higher stats to wield and can't be infused with everything like the highlander. Plus it does a TON of poise damage with its two handed jump attacks. It's literally my friend's single weapon he uses through the whole game.
Very nice video, I never thought of trying something like this (only using what you find in an area in said area).
It was pretty fun! Much better in Legacy dungeons than Minor dungeons though 😄
Good job on the run, was entertaining!
Thanks friend! Glad you liked it!
lets go, i love this series :D
🤗
Another great video!
Glad you liked it!
This Video was absolutely entertaining to watch, liked it very much. Great Game, Great Video.
Glad you liked it friend 🙂
the dragon halberd is really cool as if you use the special twice in a row (directly after the first spin slash) you get a cool attack that deals huge damage
THis is Honestly really cool, love the idea. when i get my pc fixed to play elden ring might try do something like this myself. defiently a well earned Subscribe
Thank you my friend, welcome to the channel! This run is a fun one to try
It's hard for me to pick an all-time favorite legacy dungeon, but I'd have to say it's a tie between Nokron and the Shunning Grounds. I love Nokron because it's one of the most visually striking areas in the game for me. The ruins strewn about the place, that false night sky, the eerie droning music. It's all so beautiful. The Shunning Grounds I love mostly for the lore surrounding it. Learning of all the dirty secrets and refuse of the current Order that were locked up in the sewers was fascinating. From the Omen to the mass caravan grave and Frenzy Flame Proscription. Even the Dung Eater, my favorite Elden Ring NPC, is found here.
Stormveil Castle is special to me as the first legacy dungeon and just overall a fun experience to get into the game with. Leyndell is probably my favorite overall if we don’t count the sewers, it just made the world actually look lived in. Considering I quit partway through out of anger, I’m surprised at how much I actually love Halingtree, it feels like the most visually interesting dungeon and something about it pleases me. Maybe it’s because I’m finally in my ideal armor set with dual +10/25 weapons, but it could just be a nice place to visit.
"As if he had infinite FP" It's almost as if, say, the all knowing guy has a lot of mind. ;) Great video tho, and a super cool concept that really does highlight a lot of cool details!
I looked at the likes and was offended when it wasn’t over 5k lmao, great videos! they are super high quality and great to watch/listen to
Thanks friend! Glad you liked the video 🙂
amazing video!!!
Thank you! 😊
man i hoped u put a eminem picture up when you talked about shaded Castle XD still nice video loved the other one with the minor dungeon
walking towards phony mohg in dungeater's armor while overloaded gave me a great giggle
They did nerf Waterfowl just a little bit, the hitbox on the second flurry is shorter, so you have to be less perfect with your dodge.
I did feel something was different. Also light roll apparently has been buffed
My fav boss and my childhood show together, what a blessing!
Perfect 🥰
What's funny about this endgame is, for my first playthrough, I mostly used the Starscourge Greatswords, and I struggled a /ton/ with Radagon and I don't think I ever made it to Elden Beast. Eventually, I switched to a primarily strength-based build, with Godfrey's axe as the weapon, and managed to get through in just a few more tries afterwards.
The bolt of gransax and the dragon kings cragblade have the best ashes of war. I was doing a int build on my first play through and i beat the game but then i learned about those weapons and started another play-through pretty much immediately. I put 85 hours onto my dex play-through. Easily my favorite ashes of war in the game
Great work
Thanks dad 😃 I took your advice on using Godfrey's great axe and it really helped 👍
I got a vid idea that I'm pretty interested in for you to tackle should you want to, the balancing of end game areas in FromSoft games. Generally, the amount of limiting mechanics to hinder the player tend to increase immensely when in endgame areas. - Ds1: Dukes Archives just spawns a ton of basic human crystal enemies with high damage with archers and mages hitting you from range. Crystal caves have invisible walkways with enemies that can knock you off. You can't see shit in the Tomb of the Giants. Lost Izalith just wasn't finished but is also not that interesting. - Ds 2: Dragonpeak is forcing you to fight the giants or an army of strong damaging dragon enemies with insane damage. Shrine of Amana has you walking in water with those mages firing at you and the Undead Tombs have those bell ringing summoned mages and an army in front of the boss fog (not to mention the optional areas in the DLC). - Ds 3: DS3: the Jailors reduce your max hp to pretty much zero with limited options to counter it. Disneyland has the amount of enemies made much higher with a lot of dogs, supported by invisible enemies and those strong fire mages. Instead of one you fight 2 Pontiff beasts. Archdragon Peak has flying Wyverns and some Chainsnake type enemies that have enormous range, health and damage. - Elden Ring: Haligtree has gravity Elphael has some incredibly tanky spear dudes which mostly come in pairs and are supported by ballistas. Normal enemies pretty much deal a third to half of a 40 vigor healthbar in one swing. The Evergoal that takes you to the Haligtree has insane DPS Mage Archers with the black Assassins who spam grab attacks with high HP (they are pretty much impossible to kill without the torch). In Farum Azula they have a ton of birds with a Dragon spewing Lighting and some of the Dragon Warriors have crazy long combos which can be dodged but with some bad RNG they do them multiple times causing you to just roll away and wait (mostly the double sword ones). - Bloodborne has the poison swamp areas, frenzy nightmare and the shark well (the trauma) I short, I feel like designing those end game areas can be really tricky, especially with time constraints and balance in mind. What would your idea for a good Souls endgame be? Just increasing the damage that basic enemies do to 100 doesn't really work imo. Something like adding bosses from the early game as a regular enemy could work but does take away a bit from the experience and uniqueness of said boss. Curious what your take on this would be : )
You know, it's weird you mention this, I have been thinking about a similar video idea 🤔 watch this space..
@@JKLeeds fun vid btw!
Glad you liked it my friend! What's your favourite Legacy dungeon? 🙂
@@JKLeeds Stormveil for sure, insane verticality while having (at that point in the game) a lot of new enemy types
The Serpentbone Blade's Charged R2 is my favorite R2 in the whole game. It's a double slash faster than Double Slash AOW and does real good damage with the axe Talisman and gives the Sword Insignia boost immediately
One thing really good about about Miquellan Knight Sword against Malenia (one that I used against her recently) is the R2, where you can use that to land a charged attack on Malenia from a distance after some combo finishers to close in the gap between yourself and her while also dealing damage. Really fun weapon to use against her despite dealing Holy Damage. Also the quick, uncharged R2 is also a fun tool to counter her kick with the right timing since she’d lose her hyperarmour right after the kick attack for you to counter her right before she continues her combo
I enjoyed the straight sword powerstance against her a lot!
@@JKLeeds oh definitely. That was the very setup I mostly used to defeat her in Rune Level 1 plays. Also because of that I overlooked the potential of some unique R2 attacks from Straight Swords like the Miquellan one to the point where I just realized recently on how fun the Miquellan Sword R2 actually is to use
I truly didn’t think i’d hear about In The Night Garden in an Elden Ring video
My cheese: Little Carian Swords (forget name) and a high bleed weapon. Mimic tear if I'm having trouble. Timed right, you'll keep stunning most bosses through the sheer amount of hits... or however that works.
dear god I forgot in the night garden existed, that stuff was my childhood hearing it mentioned in an Elden ring video of all things was in fact unexpected
GOATed challenge run
Thanks mate 👍
Just as good as the previous video. Really excited for more potential challenge runs. Though, just wanted to point out, there are only 6 developer stated Legacy Dungeons. Stormveil, Raya Lucaria, Volcano Manor, Leyndell, Farum, and Haligtree. The rest are just major dungeons or underground areas. Other than that, really great video. edit: Ironic that so many people think that shunning grounds is bad, considering it's the closest they've gotten to recreating Ds1's style of world design. I think it's more the enemies, less the level.
Thanks, glad you liked it 😃 yeah I went with the list on Fextralife to beef up the vid for more content
@@JKLeeds Fair enough.
I'm pretty sure mimic tears stats are based off your own so it likely died so quick cause your hp wasn't that high, great video btw earned a sub for sure
Good to know! Welcome to the channel 🙂
man you have showed me that I have not found so many things within these dungeons, I didn’t even know there was a dragon kin soldier in siofra river
Yeah he's quite hidden away to be fair, you have to go through a portal to get to him from the lower level or do a lot of dropping down in the bit past Mimic Tear
I love the IG-88 reference
the envoy's longhorn it's honestly OP against half the bossfights, just not the ones that dodge a lot like Loretta. I even killed Placidussax before he could even start phase 2 cause the bubbles hit him multiple times as they fly through him (just don't lock on and stick to his side) and that was without the bubble-boosting headgear
Yeah I'd love to do a whole playthrough with it, just a shame you can only get it quite late in
In the night garden was my childhood bro:)
You were surprised about the whip being able to stagger leonine misbegotten, but that thing (and whips in general) has some seriously shocking stagger lmao. When I first tried out a whip in my game it was staggering Omens, and from that point on I was sold on them as a weapon type. The damage and speed aint great but they’re real fun to use as an offhand weapon for zoning out enemies.
I need to do an all whip run I think
The dragons halberds spinning slash has two inputs and the second one does great damage.
Hand of Malenia is a good weapon. It would come in handy if it weren’t for the challenge rules. This weapon is for people who prefer a more hands on approach to combat. What makes it satisfying to use is the fact that it isn’t handed to you and you have to earn it. The reason for this comment is that I had a lot of hand puns I wanted to share. Keep up the good work great run as always.
Those are some good puns, I've got to hand it to you! 😂
Very handy comment
Really great.
Glad you liked it! 👍
You sounded genuinely grateful for some very mild weapons, because anything is better than nothing. good lesson about how we need to be aware of context so we can avoid depression
Well after some of the shenanigans from the Minor dungeon run, I was super happy to have something 😆
Man the fact that you did this without respecs is very respectable.
I typed this before the mohg respec. My boy, why did you do fights with fat roll if respecs were allowed?
Erm..I totally did do respecs at certain points towards the end 😅 I mentioned in the video when I did. It's totally possible to do without but would just take hours of farming
Because even with respec, I would have had to do so much farming to get below fat roll and plus the fat roll was more challenging and thus hopefully more entertaining to watch 😂
@@JKLeeds valid
Actually whips are not that bad, they stagger ennemy quite well because they have the same "stagger value" that the greatsword category weapons.
I'm pretty tempted to try a whips only run tbh 🤔
crucible horns are absolutely busted against humanoid enemies, if you fully charge it they get flung into the air and you can sometimes stunlock them its also good for stance breaking
I believe the thing with aspect of the horn crucible spell is that it lift human-sized enemies off the ground and throw them. So I assume it won't be that useful against giant bosses.
Ahh OK, so better for soldiers etc?
wanna say, crucible horn is one of my favorite spells as it annihilates anyone that is roughly your size. Sadly Godrick is too chonky for it to really shine, so I hope you give it another go
Mimic tear works best when you don't ignore leveling vigor. He shares hp along with other stats.
When I fought the regal ancestor spirit halfway through the fight it used the teleport move but accidentally teleported out of the arena and after about a minute of sitting there boss hp bar dissapears and it gives the rememberace
Haha wow that's a savage glitch.
About the Sword of Night and Flame: IIRC they nerfed it into the ground where it couldn't even reliably kill mob enemies with the Flame part of its name. But recently the buffed it up just a tad again. So that's probably why it doesn't feel like it's nerfed lol.
Ahh ok, that explains it
Try a power stances great rapier run with cragblade and blood helice, it’s really freakin fun
The crucible horn is pretty good with high faith
Great video man, really interesting challenge. FYI 'Niall' is an Irish name pronounced 'Nile' (like the river).
Epic video ma boi
Thanks buddy! Glad you liked it!
My biggest Elden Ring flex will always be beating the valiant gargoyles NG+2 with no PC summons while being on 3.5 grams of psilocybin mushrooms 😅 it was definitely something
Duel greatspears is so much fun shame you couldn't try it in the run
Something I just thought of but wouldn’t by your logic during the volcano manor quest line the one assassination that takes you into the capital there also have been considered part of that legacy dungeon therefore able to be used in the capital?
Hmm I hadn't thought of this but you're correct!
bro just gave me flashbacks of nam, reminding me of In The Night Gsrden
😂😂😂
the strenght of the ripple halberd is not it's base damage or it's high arcane scaling but is actualy the fact that is one of the three only weapons in the game that has arcane scaling and can use greases on, at 60 arcane the blood grease does 94 bleed build up while the drawn string gets to 121
Ahhh ok, that makes sense. Just a shame there's no grease in Mohgwyn Palace then 😭
The way you said whip and torch run sounded like whip and torture.
Trust me, when I get round to doing it, there will be torture 😂
@@JKLeedsI will be waiting to see that.
Using Demise's boss theme for the last area in the video? Based
11:27 Sword of night and flame did get nerfed into the ground but they ended up buffing it to be viable again not too long before this video i forget exactly which patch but yeah
fun fact, man serpents are completely immune to fire damage, thats why it could stand in rykards pool with no issues
I did think that must be the case! That guy was crushing it
Man the new light roll is so good. Wish that was around the first time I fought Malenia. Maybe wouldn’t have taken me 70+ attempts to beat her (I refused to use bloodhound step) 😂
Even with Bloodhound Step, I struggled the first time round!
Editing thing: for me at least, you tend to remove images too quickly for the reference or joke or info to really land. From personal experience I know it may seem like you're keeping them on screen for too long, but that's because you already know what they are, where they are, and why they're there. What I did to figure out good timing was to watch some favorite videos with this style and literally time how long they leave things on screen. I think I ended up nearly doubling the amount of time my images stayed up. A good example is your Raya Lucaria joke. It would land better visually if the images went up sequentially as you say the syllables, and also if you were standing still in the gameplay so the two things didn't fight for visual priority. Love the video!
Thanks for the feedback. 🙂
For the Ashen Capital: The weapon wouldn't have been a problem, because you can still find the Cane Sword
My first full playthrough of elden ring was a no-magic, all physicality build. High vig, end, str, dex, and nothing else. Full heavy armor with medium rolling, a crossbow in the back pocket for range, and 2 maxed Commander's Standards. Basically, when you said dual-weilding halberds is great? Yes. Yes it is. 🤣
Waiting for the torch and whip run
Some areas in Elden Ring feel like one team was making the enemies, another team was responsible for placing them, and the two teams had zero communication
Which areas do you mean?
Cant believe you tried the Axe of Godfrey without even so much as mention the aow
Yeah I did try it but the damage actually wasn't great against either Radagon or Elden Beast for the wind up time
Fun fact for those who don’t know, the serpent katana does deadly poison instead of poison. Deadly poison is stronger but lasts less time if I recall
Iggle Piggle the real boss of the run lmao
The next video will be a Makka Pakka cosplay run
@@JKLeeds best elden ring cosplay run ong
yeah that cragblade is easily capable of one cycling both godrick and radahn lol i love it
One of my new favourites for sure!
the whip stuns the Misbegotten because of psychological damage (seriously, considering their lore)
Quality bri'ish souls content is something we have been sorely lacking. God save the King
Hope to keep providing more! 😃
