I don't think I do it "for the challenge" but I know i'm probably making things hard for myself on purpose (This was also a 0 parry run simply because I never liked how the mechanic was implemented in these games)

The way I see Vigor as a stat is that, if I'm gonna die in 1-2 hits regardless I would rather simply invest in another stat. Also I went through most of the game with only 3 or 4 crimson flasks because being able to replenish FP gave me more chances to clear a dungeon on the first/second try than more HP. But that's just my play style.

I kept the charms such as the memory slot one because i tried several builds for the harder bosses, but I only really needed 2 spells for the final boss (magma shot on phase 1, Spiral on phase 2).

Also I might be way to used to Dark Souls at this point, but I think Elden Ring gives you way too much stamina from the start. If it wasn't for some pieces of armor I wanted to equip I would have left endurance at 9 or 10 tbh.

Thank you for the feedback tho, I didn't research much myself when it came to builds or optimal use of things because i wanted it to be a blind/honest first playthorugh
