Using rejection is like if Ash just went over and kicked Squirtle in the ribs just to help Pikachu out a bit

Bushy: Thats my boy Mimic: *runs into the attack* Bushy: oh no my boy! Mimic: father help

Once it gets into the mimic tear section of the run it's basically "Elden ring but my little brother is the one playing".

If I could suggest a run: Do a fake sorcerer run. Use only moves that cost FP to attack but you can’t use sorcery’s or incantations. There’s a lot of things that cost FP so there enough variety to make things interesting. Ex: fire pot- no, Magic pots- yes Bone darts- no, crystal darts- yes All tools, spirit ashes, ashes of war are allowed ( in order to avoid ash of war run you can only use ashes of war for 1 FP bar per rest at grace, [optional though, might be to hard] ) Try to be elden lord while having flunked out of Raya Lucaria

<a href="#" class="seekto" data-time="1935">32:15</a> Okay, but the timing of "I sucked the fucking moon, too" followed immediately by Rennala saying "Come-" is too perfect

This wasn’t a summons challenge, this was a healslut challenge

Jerren landing the final strike on Radahn just felt perfectly fitting to the character. It was honestly quite cinematic.

Jerren killing Radahn has such emotional lore implications dang

The commitment and patience this man has is insane😂😂

Alexander is just straight up the best boy during the Fire Giant fight!

Bushy: uses meat shield, runs away, and trows bad gases. Hora Lu: "Brave Tarnished"

i’ve watched your challenge runs so many times they’re all extremely entertaining and coming from a complete and irrelevant stranger thank you for your video they keep me sane

Heres a tip, if you want to draw aggro you should get the duelists set, each piece of armor increases aggro that you draw to yourself, so the full set plus shabriri's woe will pretty much make the enemies always attack you even if you dont attack them

The fact that the iconic pokemon trainer's name is literally Ash is just perfect.

I cant help but love the section where bushy and bushy 2.0 bully gideon with the rejection spell

During the Elden Beast fight I was laughing so much, the whole "nut on him" got me crying, but the chat had me dying

Black Knife Tiche is sill my absolute favorite summon, it can solo almost the whole game.

I wish I could erase my memory of playing Elden Ring so that I can experience it again like the first time. This game is so freaking good. Love these challenge runs.

Cosmo Mind's comment about "becoming Elden Lord after flunking out of Raya Lucaria" gave me an idea for a run. Beat Elden Ring as a Noble Sorcerer. The guys who actually DID flunk out of Raya Lucaria. - Prisoner start for base Glintstone Staff. You aren't allowed to use any other staff. - Not allowed to cast any spells other than Glintstone Pebble or deal damage with anything else except bonking with the staff if you absolutely have to. You can buy Glintstone Pebble from Thops without having to fight anything. - Not allowed to equip weapons, just the staff (no Golden Vow dagger for you). - Must dress the part: Unaltered Aristocrat Garb, Aristocrat Headband, Aristocrat Boots. Farm for it in the ruins next to Iji or just cheat it in. - The most important part: *You are not allowed to increase your INT in any way.* No levelling it up, no talismans or gear that boost it, no Intelligence-knot Crystal Tear. If you could get smarter, you wouldn't have flunked out. - Levelling up other stats is allowed. - Other ways to improve your damage like the Graven talismans, Magic Scorpion Charm, Magic-Shrouding Cracked Tear, and upgrading the staff itself are allowed. - Summoning your fellow Noble Sorcerer is allowed, as well as upgrading him, but not Mimic Tear.

I postponed the decision of all important matters to another day, just to watch this video))

<a href="#" class="seekto" data-time="3208">53:28</a> I literally screamed out loud "He lives!!!!" followed with the most depressing "oh" 5 seconds later.

LMAO @<a href="#" class="seekto" data-time="3020">50:20</a> 🤣🤣🤣 Elden Ring Boss Weapons of choice: Morgott: Yoda's cane and ethereal weaponry Radahn: Dual Greatswords, Greatbow, and gravity magic Rennala: Various forms of magic Maliketh: Literall DEATH embedded into a sword Hoarah Loux: HANDS!!!

I tried this challenge once and though I never got to finish it, fanged imp ashes were my go-to as early game summons. They do good bleed buildup and kinda scurry away in random directions, making them tricky to hit for bosses

Waking up to a new Bushy playthrough is like waking up on Christmas morning

Interesting detail about Shabriri's Woe is the fact that if you're not doing anything to draw the enemy's aggro, they won't focus you at all. It can be useful if you summon, but not if you can't do anything yourself to draw their aggro

My favorite summons are the bird deenth, pretty sure that's the name, and the two spear skeletons you get from the boat guy. They are both very good and, in my opinion, underrated

It feels completely random whether the summons do 13 damage then all die or completely solo the boss

Now do a nuzlock version where if the summon dies you can’t use them again

Is so fun how Bushy keeps cheering on his summons!

Baby wake up it’s bushy videos here.

Hello. Comment on a year old video here. Shabriri's Woe says it increases enemies aggression, not make them focus you. I thought that too untill it was thoroughly explained to me, so I understand your pain. VERY basic and short explanation of what Shabriri's Woe does: once you already have an enemy's agro, they stay agro'd on you for longer. A better explanation would probobly be that it, "enhances", or, "extend's" enemy agro.

when he said i need more stam regen im like, but why not get the turtle shield bro

I wanna be the Elden Lord Like Godrick never was To catch hands is my real test To summon is my cause

These vids never fail to make me stop whatever I’m doing to watch lol

The almost in sync roll at <a href="#" class="seekto" data-time="1713">28:33</a> was satisfactory.

This is unreal run. Best mimic of the year award

Holy SHIT! Alexander coming in clutch with that humongous big damage on Fire Giant. That was extraordinarily impressive.

Love watching your highlights like this, you have such a fun energy with every run!

Tries to make ash: Makes Guts: Sounds about right for a Fromsoft game

I’ve been watching your videos for a while, and not only do I think that was a really refreshing take on a summon only video, but I think that your commentary once you got to using mimic tear puts it, and your content in general, in a tier above most other Elden Ring content. Great job, and fantastic video!

Every time i get hard stuck on a boss in elden ring using a totally viable, regular build, i just watch a little bit of bushy doing some obscenely difficult challenge run and realize how much easier i have it. Then i fail a few more times and finish the video so i can see what it’s like to actually kill a boss.

The Olfnir bullying session had me in tears 😂

Bro said “why avoid damage when you can take health”

That 4K mimic nut was worth the whole run imo

This is by far my favorite run so far

Man do I love your videos . I can’t become a member because I’m broke but I really appreciate when you post , your videos are so well edited and your voice is nice to hear . Thank you for posting .

There is something with bushy videos that make me wanna wait. Hey, Bushy! Ever thought of trying all these stuff for other souls games?

Dude I've been watching your playthroughs for the last couple days and you are an absolute legend! I straight rage quit this game some time back and watching you play has gotten me reinvested in it and I picked up a bunch of tricks just watching you play

Ah yes, Ash Ketchum and his iconic companion 'Rot Dog'

It's hilarious watching all of these summon only challenges end up using mimic tear + ekyzyke's decay

I love the twist you put on this, great video as always sir

I’ve watched those other videos, but it’s still cool to see how other people try the same challenge. The twist you did was interesting though. Keep up the awesome videos!

Demand a true Ash Ketchum run with Mimic using nothing but lightning magic and the lightning roly-poly ash of war.

Sick run, but kinda odd how not only did you not fight Malenia, you didn't even mention her.

Just a tip even tho nobody is probably gonna need it. In the godskin fight you want bernhal to always fight the skinny guy since he pretty much solos him without any help at all. Even when he respawns you can simply beat the fat guy up and watch the spectacle since the skinny guy won’t stand a chance

Pretty cool to see summon only runs, I like the gimmick of boss kills for leveling them. It also shows how busted summons are in general since it'd be so easy if he was actually hitting the boss too.

Thanks for all the effort you put in your vids ! I enjoy them to the fullest.

currently on my first play through of elden ring and im struggling killing 90% of enemies/bosses and im using the bloodhounds fang melee build. seeing you complete these challenges while severely disadvantaged is so cool. the dedication you have is admirable. im having a blast playing this game so far. im loving the content man!

<a href="#" class="seekto" data-time="1720">28:40</a> idk if this ad placement is intentional, but having it come up right as you simultaneously get smashed by a rock as he phase changes is perfect. Also I was laughing my ass off when he started yelling at Gideon for all the spam he does

The unique rules you put on is why these challenge runs are way more interesting than any others, keep it up!

This run would have went ALOT smoother with black knife Tiche. Video is still kool.

Perfect timing, thanks bushy! I needed something to watch while I eat dinner👌

This is such a clever remix of the challenge! Dope video!

WHY DIDNT YOU GET THE ERDTREE SEAL AT THE VOLCANO

was watching some of the streams, it's so cool to see someone genuinely dedicated to keeping the set rules without cheating, unless completely necessary to continue. After looking at some other channels I think you've earned my respect for consistently not cheating.

Black knife tiche has been my best friend through the game since I got her. I highly recommend her

I think the aggro talisman also has something to do with damage that isn't listed anywhere, as far as I can tell. When I was playing coop with some friends, I used the talisman because it made things easier when you knew who the boss was gonna target, instead of them constantly switching targets in the middle of an attack animation, and it worked for the most part. But if I had to take a moment to heal or something and my friend started attacking the boss, it would immediately switch to them, even if the boss was right next to me and my friend was across the arena. I think it's similar to like tanking in WoW, where you have priority for enemes to attack you, but if you stand there and do nothing while something else is damaging the boss, it will just swap to them.

Everytime I fight Radahn I shout “summon thy homies!” As i manically use torrent and summon all the npcs lol

Great content my man, as always

Bushy always doing the best challenge videos, love finding one I missed.

The summons in this game are so cool. I kind of wish I hadn't forced myself to not use them on my first playthrough it was so fun playing through the game again with a necromancerish build with some of the ashes

"I grab the Clawmark seal since it is the only one with a strength scaling" Godskin sigil: Am I a joke to you?

Run suggestion: Scrooge McDucks run. Rules: - Can't spend runes - Can die but can't lose runes. If you died on your way to recover, have to start over. The goal is to see how much runes you can bring to Marika Statue

I'm surprised chat didn't recommend or Bushy not knowing Gideon is weak to madness, that fight coulda been over so much quicker if Mimic had madness incantations

I actually used that rot dragon incantation for Radahn. Worked pretty well, my only complaint is how long the wind up is, takes so long to actually cast the spell that you’re super vulnerable

They need to make the area on the heals much bigger

You really needed to play this entire run in a sexy nurse outfit... for Halloween, no other reason...

The attack Radahn used at <a href="#" class="seekto" data-time="493">8:13</a> to kill Bushy... man that's a tough one. I couldn't figure our how to dodge it on my first playthrough. Had to take cover from it behind sand dunes.

This is amazing because i never watch a 10 minutes longer video and now i'm here every single day watching some of your videos.

Dude watching the radahn fight from a distance is so cinematic, especially in this case watching blaidd running across the dunes at him

Eldin Ring nuzlock before gta 6 is wild.

mimic tears kinda kill the fun of the run dude ngl. wanted to see some summon flavor here and there, but it was fun at the begin to see u improvise everyfight with what IA will do. also interresting to note after THAT MANY YEARS of dark souls, i just noticed how passive friendly npc are compared to hostile (godfrey stomping that poor dung like it was godrick ashaming daily session in front of the rest of the royaltie) and it's hilarious.

Mad respect for bushy, for simply chuckling when you die instead of losing your shit.

i do have to say, that this was the most enjoyable challenge yet.

Love how mimic also casted protection at the end there just to troll you, what a Gigachad

What's even more impressive - Elden Ring actually makes this a playable option.

I like how the strategy for fighting Gideon is to just bully him which is funny

FR the destined death ability on the greatsword is amazing for huge HP bosses. It's alot of commitment to land it but when it does dear god, especially if you and your mimic both land it at the same time

Here are some tips for ash Simmons the skeleton ashes revive themselves, and Mohg’s rune increases the damage of summons when blood loss happens near them If you put a weapon that heals every strike on the mimic tear you won’t need to worry as much about healing them also prayerful strike is amazing ash of war for your mimic tear.

Tbh I think I saw him hurt the godskin duo himself when he hit them with the sleep pots.

I just wanted to point out that this is in the top 25 KZfaq videos trending right now. Grats, Bushy.

“Nut on him. Nut on him. Nut on him.” Bushy ~2022

<a href="#" class="seekto" data-time="2149">35:49</a> shout out to the mimic trying to save him like that on top of carrying the playthrough 👑

Bro that switch to shabriris whoe had me thinking you were dead. Good dodge!

This run was really fun to watch

Bushy> "Why aren't my heals working!?" Dung Eater> "Why aren't you casting heal!?"

Mimic with bull goat for poise and hand of melania is pretty funny. I didn’t even have to fight godskin duo man straight soloed.

For some reason I used the dark blade with my mimic and it carried pretty well, even through the elden beast.

I wouldn't have gone for the Dung Eater summon. Lhutel is generally more reliable, since she has a ranged option and teleports around a lot to dodge.
