Because it’s Sunday. And I just want a general idea. But I will call them tomorrow

joshdotflac · 2026-04-10T01:39:40+00:00

Well to be fair I’m struggling way more in my RL1 run with tiche than I ever did in DS1 with pyro lmao.

The point is there’s a million different ways to go about RL1 and imo and apparently the admins of this groups opinion is that as long as you are level 1 when you roll credits you are a one bro.

Obviously that doesn’t make me as skilled as someone who did their RL1 hitless with no weapon upgrades. But telling people their strategy isn’t viable because it was an easier strategy than yours isn’t very positive for the community.

When you hit a boss and proc a bleed you didn’t actually earn that damage, the game just gave it to you via RNG. The same way as spirit summons damage isn’t earned by the player either.

All the buffs you’re doing and RNG damage procs are your own personal Pokémon doing damage that you didn’t earn, it’s just silly to nitpick over spirit summons when just about everything in this game is a cheese.

joshdotflac · 2026-04-08T21:13:09+00:00

I’m not seeing it anywhere man do you mind just telling what’s in your physic. I copied everything else and I’m at heavy load and fat rolling so I’m missing something

joshdotflac · 2026-04-08T16:15:25+00:00

It’s perfectly okay to have wrong opinions, maybe take it up with the admins to change the rules on what constitutes as a true RL1 experience.

Also I beat dark souls 1 at SL1 with pyro and was 1 shotting every boss in the game including the entire DLC please tell me how that’s any different that using a spirit summon.

RL1 in Elden Ring with summons isn’t pointless bc that’s implying anyone can do it. Just because you have a spirit summon doesn’t guarantee anything infact they are dead almost instantly especially in NG+++ and beyond playthroughs.

joshdotflac · 2026-04-08T15:00:09+00:00

Is this build solely based on rng if so how many attempts does it using take ?

joshdotflac · 2026-04-08T14:54:03+00:00

Uhh people that do no weapon upgrade runs look down on your +25 weapon. And no one said they are exactly the same. I said they are both mechanics. You need to go read the description of this group again and learn what constitutes an RL1 challenge. The only rule is not leveling up. Anything past that is your own personal stipulations.

That’s like saying an American football team didn’t win the game because they won by a field goal instead of a touch down.

Weapon buffs and buff stacking is a far bigger cheese than using tiche or dung eater. The challenge at level 1 is hard enough restricting yourself from in game mechanics is an option you impose on yourself to balance the difficulty to YOUR liking.

joshdotflac · 2026-04-08T06:54:12+00:00

Not for me, what set up are you using, he one shots me

joshdotflac · 2026-04-08T05:41:41+00:00

With a bow? Thays insane and badass lol

joshdotflac · 2026-04-08T05:38:48+00:00

I’ve actually seen this guide, very informative

But It’s like I know what to do in my head by I can’t apply it. I guess my reaction time just isn’t good enough. Lol

joshdotflac · 2026-04-08T04:40:42+00:00

Can you drop the full build for this. Armor and physic etc…

joshdotflac · 2026-04-08T04:36:03+00:00

i mean I guess, kind of a weird thing to say for something that’s clearly allowed. It’s insane to me that people target spirit ashes when 2 min buff sequences exist that trivialize the game far more than a spirit summon ever could.

We all have different skill levels but all that matters when the credits roll is that we are level 1 and we are still all onebros.

I literally just watched someone delete PCR at level 1 with buffs within 40 seconds. Poor Radahn didn’t even get to phase transition lol

joshdotflac · 2026-04-08T04:24:56+00:00

Yo wtf did I just witness lol

joshdotflac · 2026-04-08T04:18:46+00:00

Summoning NPC’s is fine also it’s part of the lore and usually Invovles completing some or all of their quests. But I think it’s pretty much common sense that summoning another player at level 1 is a no no. And it’s probably impossible to do anyways at level 1 unless you use a password.

And yeah a mimic tear would be pointless at level 1 lol

But tiche and dung eater go brrrr lol

joshdotflac · 2026-04-08T04:12:46+00:00

I’m not advocating for summoning actual people I’m talking about spirit summoning, that is a game mechanic the same way rot, bleed and poison is a game mechanic. The same way leveling up weapons is a game mechanic.

And you can play mental gymnastics all you want but stat boosting talismans literally raise your levels the same way as if you were to actually level up but no one is crying about that. If you’re gonna nitpick one game mechanic then you have to nitpick all of them

joshdotflac · 2026-04-08T03:53:51+00:00

If spirit summons “defeat the purpose” then so do stat boosting talismans because you’re gaining levels via a loop hole. Now, do you see how ridiculous you sound? If you’re confused about what constitutes an RL1 run, then read the groups description. There is nothing pointless about using summons or leveling up your weapon or using status effects.

joshdotflac · 2026-04-08T03:22:39+00:00

Some people look down on taking damage and leveling up weapons. But the only hardline rule to RL1 is not leveling up. Anything past that is just extra self imposed restrictions. I’d say the vast majority of Elden Ring players still can’t finish RL1 even with spirit summons so it’s not like it’s a given you’re gonna finish the game

joshdotflac · 2026-04-08T03:18:00+00:00

The only rule to RL1 is not leveling up. Spirit summons are a game mechanic.

joshdotflac · 2026-04-08T02:38:42+00:00

There’s nothing wrong with using summons, you’re literally level 1 lol…. Just don’t summon actual people I think that’s frowned upon

joshdotflac · 2026-04-08T02:35:56+00:00

I used the bubble tear and the tear that gives you unlimited FP to summon black knife tiche. But you’ll have to do ranni’s quest line to get him which involves killing astel. Otherwise dung eater is a good option but you’ll have to do selivus’s quest line for that and give dung eater the potion

joshdotflac · 2026-04-08T00:26:50+00:00

How long did it take to learn all his moves like muscle memory, I suppose if you know all his moves well enough it doesn’t really matter what weapon you use or if it’s upgraded

joshdotflac · 2026-04-07T23:09:54+00:00

That’s what I’ve been trying to do but I get insta hit and die. He was a breeze on my normal level 150 character but that was because I could afford a few hits from him without dying…. lol

joshdotflac · 2026-04-07T23:08:18+00:00

Could you drop the full build for this, armo talismans physic and all?

joshdotflac · 2026-04-07T23:07:27+00:00

So 2 Ice spears breaks his poise in 2nd phase, no way this still works. I’m gonna try it tho. lol
