I really liked the strings concept, hope you have more of these. Just set some ground rules like "only the first hitless / +0" boss kill gets strings and stuff like that. This game show concept has a ton of potential, you're always innovating Chris, rock on! Also, "cheating" a little with the strings distribution towards whoever is last could make it more competitive, and the strings could be worth more time, maybe 2 minutes.

For strings that are removed by impressing you, as you did with starting with Wretch, you could have a few written down. So if they do them, you can always point to them and say So-and-so, now have one string removed. And also, add a few cringe traps to add a string. Like for example first one to pick up the Flask of Wondrous Physick or something similar get a string added.

This is the tournament equivelant to "Look dad, I'm doing a headstand" and I love it ^^

The people yearn for a Party Souls

For the Timer thing: You could have a thing that's like "This is a short timer" if it's 5-6 minutes, or "This is a long timer" if it's 9-10 minutes, that way it's not exactly known, but it's more than just like "There is a timer, it's somewhere between 5-10 minutes"

Super fun game Mr Star guy, thanks for having me :)

Domo got mega robbed on cool objects minigame. Danny DeVito tie hanger didn't even have any competition.

i like how lilaggy at the end there when his screen shows load game screen has a character called YEP rock that is 53 minutes into the game and is at 163 level somehow

The objective of having to impressive Chris during the run is what adds the fun here, otherwise people would mostly just play optimised

loved watching this.. chris' weakness confirmed to be pronunciations though

yojo is such a dude. always giving his opponents credits and defending them. what a dude

Bri with that lore knowledge in her poem should have gotten an honorary something, it had levels.

I really appreciated you putting the discussion/feedback section in the video. It helps to invite feedback from comments somewhat, but mostly I’m just impressed by the transparency of it. Many creators would not have the humility to showcase a 3 minute segment of people critiquing them at the end of such a high-effort production.

39:34 telling aggy he got the eye on the wrong side when hes the only one who got it right is criminal

For what it's worth as a random commenter I have some suggestions on how I think the game could be improved as a spectator. Consider mini-games that can be done without existing the game so you can keep the momentum up, e.g. asking trivia about Elden Ring or the spelling bee while playing. That way they have to juggle decisions while playing the game. Take out some of the harsh punishments because as a player it's demotivating to lose progress for no reason without competing. Like "lose highest upgraded weapon" should be a consequence of losing a minigame so it feels deserved and encourages rivalry. It's fun to see people suffer but if it's completely arbitrary it loses it's bite. Make tasks inconvenient but doable, e.g. invert controls/change your control scheme for next 5 minutes, cosplay as a particular enemy or NPC and the most impressive wins. The goal is to avoid being "last" in the pecking order moreso than being first because that is where the harshest punishment could be.

This is a really fun concept, would love to see more

cant wait to see whhere this idea goes; its the most fun elden ring gameshow ive seen!

Bri genuinely had either the first or second best poem

Bri: "I have all the details that matter except the feet apparently" Ranni stans will tell you you're missing the ONLY detail that matters

So good i was laughing a lot in this video, such a cool concept. Great content Chris

Chris your youtube vids have been so, so good recently mate. Hope to see more of it x

Really dope concept! I definitely would love to see more!

pls keep this series going it’s amazing

for sure the most fun Elden Ring video i've watched in a while. Super excited to see where this goes!

This was such a fun watch. Great video concept. Looking forward to your next video

This was super fun to watch, Chris. Love your content. Also, Josh is killing those mini games. Great poem and paintings. Josh is so talented.

Loved the concept, great vid! My favorite souls creator!!

The content lately has been fire. This is another banger!

this is one of the most entertaining elden ring vids I've seen tbh, really entertaining group of guys and gal and a neat concept

In regards to the end feedback, I personally REALLY like the unpredictability of the wheel, and the "subjectiveness" of the mini games. Specifically with the cool items one, they were trying to impress and pitch the item to YOU, the host, which to me was really fun. It all adds to make it a more whimsy in a charming way, and I think that's what makes this series so great. The more regimented and "fair" it is, I think the more it loses out

This was really fun to watch thank you Chris

Please do more of these. It was fun to watch :)

Really loved this video, think live would of been such a fun chaotic time. Looking forward to the next time!

Excellent format, would love to see more like this. Really cool to race to a quest objective and not just "finish the game". I also liked how Aggy smashed it purely by racing fast enough to negate a high string count. 5 stars, will watch again.

Nice video as always, very entertaining and creative format. Cheers from Germany

I honestly think one of my favorite parts about this video was the objective. It was a nice change of pace to not just be another "Generic speedrun" of beating all bosses or getting a certain amount of great runes. My favorite wheel/minigame was where they had to make another save and try to kill the grafted scion, I like the idea of having another mini-speedrun inside the speedrun, that everyone starts at the same point and you can see how everyone approaches the problem at the same time. I also think it could be fun to have the strings be more penalties than just "time" at the end. When I saw "strings attached" I was thinking something like handicaps of using a specific weapon, or not being allowed to jump, or something similar to that. Maybe having some handicaps that players could volunteer to take and if they abide by the rules of a certain handicap for a set amount of time (or like until the next wheel spin) they could remove some strings depending on the challenge, and if they break it, end up with more strings.

ay thanks for another video can’t wait to watch this masterpiece

32:12 underrated joke

i’m loving these competitions! it’s getting more refined and entertaining. feels like elden ring mario party style 😆 seeing everyone try to impress you was cute/funny. especially when eventually you were like ‘eh’. can’t wait to see the next competition!

Was watching the Stream for a bit, i was waiting hard for this video ^^

The strings concept and new mini games and returning ones we're fantastic and I love the fact that there's the bonus with the mini games and winning so that players can compete in the next challenge gaurnteed I don't remember who all was in the first challenge I think it was today's cast too but still smart and generous of you to try and get everyone in on this challenge series Chris, my only critique is to make some harder challenges for the wheel that aren't mini games you could use some bingo squares if you want but I can also see too many bingus squares as wheel spins would be a bit less creative Anyway enjoyed the vid my dude

yessssss been waiting for this

awesome concept and great video!

Dude you are the king of souls comedy holy shit this was a blast

The revenge subplot between BB and Aggy was _golden_ LMAO

this could be a series! awesome stuff

Bro i just watched the other vid yesterday thanks for this!!!!!

These are so much fun, and I think they'll just get better as the format is refined

That was hilarious! Thanks for the laughs.

Having a separate wheel for minigames that comes around either on a schedule, or when you feel it is appropriate, I feel would avoid quit out fatigue as it happened in this game. Also, I think for subjective calls, it might sting less for the person in 4th if you work backwards. If you can pinpoint the winner based on logic, then 2nd etc., it's less "you are last cause you suck" and more "you are last cause others were demonstrably closer to the criteria". Fun concept, keen to see it evolve

this was really good. Nice innovations

I loved the stream, it’s the first stream I’ve fully watched

Just finished the previous "fun" race, so this is a great surprise to see that a new one just came out c:

In terms of letting the contestants know the timer, it might be worth letting people know when 4 minutes have elapsed. That way they can make the choice to gamble on a boss fight and possibly have to quit out 1 min later or wait at the fog gate for potentially 6 minutes.

This was great! One thing you might be able to compromise on is have the random timer as you currently do, but maybe give a warning that the wheel will be spun when there is one minute left. It still has that element of randomness but lets people feel less like they're getting screwed. They won't be able to completely plan around it and could lead to situations where they are scrambling under the pressure, which sounds like it could be entertaining.

This is such an amazing concept, it's like a speedrunner Taskmaster! Love it ❤

Josh, best voice in the business

Peak Content! A little fuzzing and this could be the new Bingo Brawlers or 0Hit League! Nice fomat, cool guests and host. Loved every second. Have my Like Sir and take care, looking forward for more. And btw, all the Fun imaginable for the DLC :) !

lol the infinite screens in the upper left at 12:20

It’s like a combo of bingo, um actually and taskmaster? I like it, quite entertaining!

Thank you. I was getting bored while I waited for the DLC to drop.

I'm so glad I get to watch this in the stupid hour I have to wait for the dlc.

Aggy drawing a Mortal Kombat character and coming 2nd triggered me hard haha

This was great, I think it's a great mix-up on the formula :) I'm sure you have lots of people you plan on inviting, but I would absolutely love to play in one of these if you're ever looking for anyone :P

This is such a cool concept with a lot of potential and imo can be better than most other competitions with bingo and what not though with what aggy said maybe having some mini games that don't require the players to quit the game could be more fun like trivia or something like that to encourage players to maybe take a risk for playing longer and risk the wheel spin

This is really good as a concept. That being said the criteria for what is impressive to Chris feels a little arbitrary. I think there should be known criteria for each boss and minigame that way the players can race to tack on bonuses. This is a great concept please keep making more ❤

Great video again Mr. Chris. Also what you can do about the timer what Aggy was mentioning, you can share the time and when it goes to like 2 minutes or so you hide it so they know it's close but they don't know the exact time of the spin. Just a food for thought :D.

Mb add mechanic which revolves around the number of strings the player currently has. For example, the more strings you have you need to get worse punishes. Mb like, person with the least amount of strings needs to destroy only current armor, and the one with the most, needs to destroy all of it. It creates negative feedback loop for comebacks, but mb make it so, successfully completing a punishment removes more strings for them. I just like the lore idea, that the more string you have - you get worse punishments. Also you can add some betting mechanic, like, I m betting N strings for completing this boss hitless. Or straight up items, like your are immune to the next challenge, or make another person complete a challenge, something like that.

The format is super fun to watch. The contestants got very creative in an attempt to please chris, so it was very unpredictable but enjoyable

Just in time before ER DLC! Great video!

I like this mario party version of elden ring lol, maybe make note of the cool things players do throughout and give those out as "bonus stars" at the end rather than announcing them as they go. Could cause some more surprising twist endings

LOVE this videos!!! Would love to know in advance if there is dlc content to avoid spoilers i assumed it doesn't.

This is like Jackbox for Elden Ring and I love it

In Bree’s defense a noun is a person, place, or thing. Dog would fall under “thing” category, justice for doggo!! Dogs are very cool.

love the video, id like to suggest a minigame, players have one minute to find the coolest item in the game they can find and do a show and tell on it

Been waiting forever for another strings attsched, sick vid, cant wait to see what you come up with for the dlc 👀. Also we need someone to dethrone aggy asap

How many strings would it have been if Dom had died to Rick

The bias is real in the minigames

Get ready for an Elden Ringame Changer! I’m hour host Star Chris, and I’ve been here the whole time! Great video. Ton of fun to watch.

I would like to see more in game challenges like killing Boc, but overall fun video :)

Absolutely love this as a concept Chris! Can’t wait for more and to see how this grows 🫡

This is such a fun premise

Blueberrybri's youtube link in the comments doesnt work, great video btw!

I told Danny that we lost and he cried, now my ties are wet

i like the minigames as they break up the flow of the runners, it throws in a wrench that no one can plan for. instead of killing boc, how about killing kalle or killing patches (or pope turtle if you want to be evil). Its a bit slower but it throws the same wrench in their plans. maybe a tierlist of weapons to use on a certain boss? i.e. whip on redahn is -2 strings, hitless renala -2, dagger on baneful shadow -1. just some ideas i had, But overall HIGHLY entertaining to watch keep up the good content mr. 0chris👍

the perfect thing to spend my time on while i wait on this new video game to drop

this is such a good vid

Domo should’ve been last in the poem competition, it sounded like a last minute middle school poem and I think even he would agree

good stuff dude

I definitely need more of these concepts. I've seen so many "Elden Ring but I only do X" or "every boss x50 at lvl1" and it's getting a little stale. So this stuff is really fun and refreshing. Although, if I had to name one aspect I'd like to see changed in coming projects it's the definition of what does and doesn't reward the runner. That way they don't do any crazy strats that gain them nothing in the end. (I know it has been said before but I wanted to chime in anyway).

I actually agree with the players seeing the timer. Cause I think they can also strategize tanking the string

For next time you can invite gino and cbd and aggy, gino, yojo and cbd's speedrun will be cool

The impressive things should be listed beforehand I think! You can have the list for ur stream or just to show after and that way the runners dont need to keep asking/begging for something to remove strings. I also liked somebody elses idea about doing the minigames while the run continues. Trivia/spelling bee sort of stuff could be fun to pressure the runners in intense moments

I reckon to spice things up a bit, being more generous with the "I did a cool thing" strings and gifting proportionate string losses to how much time it took to do the thing could be cool. That way you don't just end up with a net negative by making a fight take way longer, and then only getting 1 min worth of strings back. And therefore to rebalance the string economy, make the wheelspin timer longer, but make the string rewards/punishments from wheel tasks more significant.

fun time watching

You should get chat to vote on some of the more subjective mini-games, judging poetry is tough. Hoping to see more episode of this, super fun concept!

I like the convept, and I think this round was better than the last one, but I think one thing that could be improved is the mini-games. A lot of the mini-games in this round were pretty time consuming, with each player taking time to create/find something, then present it, then get judged, etc. And it kills some of the momentum of the race. I felt like most of them went on too long. I liked the Grafted Scion minigame because all four players could do it at once, and it was a lot more exciting to watch. I think the mini-games need to be quicker overall, have a clear goal like killing Grafted Scion or finishing the Wordle from the last round, and not be judged so that they finish quickly and keep the action moving.

A+ photos for the four of them at the beginning

the wheel should be like a 20 second warning, so you dont always know but you know right before its gonna happen
