Can I Beat the "Extremely Unfair" Elden Ring Mod?

'Disabling' the teleporter by just moving the spawn point upwards 50ft is genius.

For something that claims to be unfair and impossible, the mod dev grants a LOT of concessions to the player, including even allowing the player to have the same tripling of projectiles. Quite gracious of them!

this whole playthrough is like “so basically I got to level 200, while I noticed I could cheese to get myself 10000 hp and I also upgraded all my weapons to +24. Now I was ready to face the second main boss in the game”
truly epic

I want to see someone beat this with a melee build lol

Ok to be fair, for the Ranala fight, the beam gaining an orbit is immaculate design for the aesthetic of the fight and I love that

“I had to treat this like a stealth mission” *Proceeds to release a small nuclear bomb at point blank range*

Phase one Renala: manageable
Phase 2 Renala: man I'll just give you a gun so you could do the job yourself

The Radagon Icon boosts casting speed as if your DEX was 30 points higher, so if the soft caps for stats have been removed, the Icon will do more for you at higher DEX lvls than in base game, but will be the same for lower lvls.

This is the Rennala fight we needed. The modder gave her the justice she deserved

Rennala's beam completely encircling him is hilarious.

I like how even the creator of a mod that is INTENTIONALLY DESIGNED to be nearly impossible and brutally unfair STILL felt that having Malenia heal on every hit was too overpowered and got rid of it.

The fact that he had the patience for this and how he figured out where all of the swapped items would be absolutely blew me away

26:26 ok as a person who did some primordial-level digging around the game code the comet azur beams are actually projectiles. How comet azur works in this game is that the initial shot shoots a single emitter projectile that emits one segment of comet azur. Then, that segment of comet azur emits another segment of comet azur, repeating until it hits a part of the map with collision and stops. What the mod creator probably did was to triple the base emitter projectile and have them set at an angle.

Not sure about in this mod but healing spells usually make the Revenant much easier since it damages them and does heavy poise damage on them

Man, this video rules.
Love the way you approach and talk about challenge, while also keeping everything entertaining. Good vibes all around. Kinda inspirational, even.

I’ve watched this video probably 15 times and I still comeback and enjoy every second of it

30 minutes just flew by as if I was using 2x speed, you're great at entertaining as usual.

This man's level of patience is god teir. He should teach classes on managing stress.

Very entertaining playthrough. Awesome commentary. Cheers!

Never played elden ring but still watched the whole thing. It just looked like absolute chaos.

This looks like a fun problem solving game. I like the way you approach every situation

I find it amusing that if the mod did not describe itself as unfair then many people would be upset at some of the methods used to kill enemies.

I have never played Elden Ring or even watched a video on Elden Ring so when this popped up in my feed i was unsure to watch, Wow what a video, the commentary and constant action was brilliant! Thank you for the awesome video

Hey gamers, let me know if there's any interest in covering other mods for Elden Ring and/or other Fromsoft games.

13:33 "I have to treat this like a stealth mission" proceeds to explode 2 wizards with a 3 gigantic magic explosives

the armor passive bonuses on each piece really reminds me of cinders mod from ds3, very nice

This mod creator is actually the God of game design. "subtly" nudging you towards how they want you to play the game without negating any other styles of play (besides maybe niche stuff that the mod is objectively designed against I guess

I wonder what it would would look like to pair this mod with the randomizer

You can jump the canyon that divides Cealid near the start and get to Dragon Barrow that way. There's literally a little chunk of rock that makes like a half broken bridge that was obviously put there for that exact reason. You don't need to go anywhere near the swamp. It's actually quicker then using the trap chest in my experience.

I think Elden beast was replaced because a lot of other people who played this mod got extremely frustrated by it since Elden beast somehow would just spam his ring attack most of the time in this mod, making hitting it very hard and tedious let alone defeating it.

This feels a lot like terraria when you're playing with calamity revengance mode. Everything is op, from both sides. So it kinda works o3o

You know this mod isn’t messing around when the *character creation screen* feels like a boss fountain.

It kind of reminds me of the the hardest difficulty in revengance. Instead of just making the enemies do more damage and have more health, it makes both the enemies and the player insanely powerful.

Iron Pineapple has to be one of the most patient gameplay people I have ever seen

i would so play this mod if i could, the resource management sounds really fun and it all together sounds like a refreshing way to play

the best part is that 5% of players who cleared this mod was probably referring to the base one and not the hell version

The author for this has made the same mods for the Souls trilogy. He sadly removed all the variations for DS1 leaving behind the most insane version. Can't even find anyone who's played it on twitch/YT. Tried it out a few times and it's insane. Kind of interested to try this one out at some point as it's fun to have something insanely hard.

This feels more like the convergence mod on ds3. Super difficult but also not difficult at all and very fair in treatment. Amazing mod for ds3

Margit dealing madness is so perfect given how painful the base fight is.

I wanted a challenge... In an absolutely unfair ass reaping apart mode... souls community never cease to impress... also masochism levels of self inflicting misery is beyond anything. This is as chad as it gets!!

this feels like playing elden ring's story during the pre-shattering while you're a sundered tarnished.
"the world is filled with immortals and wants to kill you.
SURVIVE"

When you killed one of the draconic tree sentinels, I picked up this really passive-aggressive vibe coming from the other sentinel who just stared resolutely the other way when his companion is getting murdered. "Shouldn't have talked shit about me in that party, Greg."

Loved the video, very relaxing, interesting, and positive

This mod really puts one of my favorite things about Elden ring one display and that is
Elden ring is as difficult as you WANT it to be, if you know enough about the game you can overcome any challenge

I love how calm he is no matter what happens

You should revisit this mod, I think alot of things changed since last time you played :D.

This is the first real breakdown I've heard of the mod and based on the design I'm really surprised Renalla had the second half of the Dectus medallion. I'd have shoved it deep into Siofra River after a souped up astral elk fight and just laughed at the poor people who assumed the second half was with the demigods at all.

This was really fun to watch and cool watching how you overcame certain situations

I like how the hard version of this mod HAD 2x tree sentinel, the newer intermediate (frenzied flame) version of this mod has a draconic tree sentinel and haligtree loretta there, and theres an additional crucible knight in the tutorial pit, IT GOT EVEN HARDER!

I love watching your videos after work. You analyse whatever you do really well. You also have a lot of skill. It's just entertaining

Could you imagine this with challenge run combined with another challenge, like only using weapon arts or only using dragon communion

This mod has legit some cool balance changes. The passive effects and all on armour and the reworked talismans are sometimes I would love to be able to experiment around with in the base game

This video shows that someone who is knowledgable about Elden Ring is even stronger than someone who is just plain good at it

The part where he switches to Lusats staff scared me so much Bc the two damage number were together and I assumed he did 875875 damage.

It seems like a lot of the changes they made to armor and weapons are really good ideas.

I've recently started playing this game after seeing so many videos and other stuff. It's basically my first soulslike but I'm doing very well so far. I'm already past the second main boss and that one was a first try. Maybe because I was a bit overleveled
Also it's hilarious to see what modders can come up with in these types of videos.

I like how this mod also encourages crazy stuff. Triple projectiles? Hell yeah, that stuff is fun!

I'd love to see this mod in action with a Melee-focused build... Feels like it would be deserving of that "Hell" title 😅

Can't wait for the SL1, max equip load, pacifist, maidenless run of this mod. We're running out of challenge runs.

"He seemed to inflict a status effect that drained my health when he hit me" Yeah you tend to take damage when you get hit

I'm halfway through the video and it's so much fun already, I love puzzle solving

Awesome video. Lol you have much more patience than i would in this situation. Props to mod author.

Funny thing about this mod the creaters didn't know or didn't care about the rolling boulder farm at Lenna's Rise by the time i played this, It gave nearly 20,000 runes for each time it fell of the cliff and on those weird times it normally gives 10,000 it gave me 100,000 i did that for about 2 hours and got around levels 560... Yeah I got stats along the lines of 95 Vig, 45 Mind, 80 Endurance, 90 Strength and Dex, 35 Int, 90 Faith and 35 Arcane. I ran Bullgoats Armor Fingerprint Shield with a Giant Crusher... I had LIGHT FUCKING EQUIPLOAD... And in the Dragon Cult Incantations such as Ancient Dragon Lighting and Fortisax Lighting Spear with Flame Protect Me, golden Vow, And Flame Grant Me Strength I was nearly fucking Invinsible. Play your cards right and the enemies arent the only thing that's unfair i went to new game plus 4 before I got bored and only the bosses where struggling by that point because I did over 80,000 damage with Lion's Claw Giant Crucher and didn't take damage. P.S. i played this about a week after this video came out so this could be patched by now.
Edit did I mention Dragoncrest Greatshielf Talisman gave you another 40% Damage Negation for all things...

It's on V8 right now, and it seems to be much harder. I'm noticing that bosses seem to have significantly more health and armor now.

This mod feels like those mario maker levels where every boss and enemy possible is slammed down but then you pick up a star from an invisible block and breeze past it.

There is actually a fourth way to reach Altus Plateau: If you do Fia's questline, go to Nokron, defeat the Gargoyles, go to Deeproot depths and kill Fia's champions there will be a teleporter which teleports you directly into Leyndell

idk why but "Big fan of the 'You're dead now' fireball move" fucking slays me every time

So entertaining! Love this.

I feel like dragon breaths would have been insane like rotting the boss

i can only imagine what this would be like with a strength build

NPC's dripped out in new clothes is definitely a highlight of the mod.

This made me think in games with difficulty selection. It be cool to have unfair difficulty as their last instead of “Insane” “Nighmare” “Impossible” ect

if Elden Beast wasnt bugged it probably wouldve been such a cool looking fight with the dual dragonlords

This was so satisfying to watch, enemy heath bars plummeting makes my brain happy

I died when he talked about Soldier of Godrick being one of the hardest bosses in the base game. Still haven't beat him to this day😔

Thanks for the video! Really cool to see this mod and how you got around challenges.

“If the mod is going to be unfair, then I can be unfair”
Ascended mods in a nutshell

I'm uncertain how to feel, because learning everything that this mod changes, it just sounds like a better game to me. I think there's something wrong with me.

Bloody hell, well done, i wish the base game had a mode like this like survival mode or something, maybe for NG 7 or 100% to show yer worty, great vid xx

I remember on the regular game having all the scoreseals on me doing good damage but getting killed from 2 shots. Taking them off diddnt change my damage to much at that point since i was ng+2 but the damage i was receiving was a huge difference

This Mod is like Master Mode in Breath of the Wild... just hell on earth

Death rancor is the best sorcery in the game imo. It tracks, you can move while casting it, and it can stagger. And you can charge it.

I feel like the “unfairness” of this mod makes it feel more unique, forcing the player to get creative in order to beat what would otherwise be a straightforward fight. This looks so fun.

5 great shield skeletons is a very good summons if you are a spell caster. they keep the aggro off you for most of the fight. Only certain fights are not good, ie any that have many aoe effects.

I always like mods or hacks that don’t just make the game harder, but also buff the player as well.

I feel like spirit summons with health regen could be broken with any of the skeletons

I made it through a good chunk of the significantly changed current version of the mod before today's game update corrupted my save, so I came here to see what the rest of the mod looked like.
And I gotta say, holy shit mage looks so easy. Playing a melee character was pretty hellish before I was able to beat Godrick and open the game up. The black flame damage basically every boss does is insane and a major nerf to shields (although shields break the game in vanilla so I see the mod maker's point). I bet things would have started falling into place once I found bloodhound step, however, as long as it wasn't majorly nerfed or anything.

I've never played this game or watched a full walkthrough so this feel like an abridged walkthrough. I'm loving it.

imagine a no hit run on this mod

Watching this made me crave a mod that does a lot of things the same but is more designed to be a remix/rework mod rather than solely being a "super hardmode" mod

You left out how the daggers with Margit loop around and hit you a second time like a boomerang

The master of Elden ring beating the game in challenges dozens of times

Possibly already known fact: you don't need the abductor, you just need to die in the area the maiden resides in
This was done in another video

Some of these clips had me actually laughing out loud with how ridiculous some of the changes were. Great vid man!

You keep saying you're not "that good" at Elden Ring in these videos but you possess an extreme amount of knowledge about all the different items, gear, spells, etc. and how these work together and can be used to solve specific problems. And in a game like this I think knowledge and problem solving skills can be just as important as sheer reflexes. So honestly, I'd say you're very good at it, just in a different way than someone who can do a no damage run for example.

This mod is WAY harder now since the updated it with harder difficulties!

he creator of this mod is insane. i would go nuts playing it.

Enemy: breaths
Pineapple: *so any way I started blasting*

I resonated with him calling the revants the hardest non boss enemies, I hate them wit a passion😌
