Run Rules
Inspired by an Elden Ring run by French streamer Owarida (hence French challenge), the run is a deathless, use what you get, enemy and item randomizer. The official rules can be found here, however I’m doing a modified/harder version closer to the one LilAggy has been attempting.
- Deathless - If you die, you reset
- Use What You Get - Any equippable item has to be equipped (auto-equip mod)
- No buying items from shops
- You must pick up items you can safely reach, no avoiding pickups to keep a good weapon
- Randomized items
- Fair difficulty
- Shuffled key item placement - Different from the official rules which use race mode (like 7x the checks)
- Randomized starting items
- Randomized NPCs armor
- Armor sets are not kept together
- Randomized lord vessel
- Randomized lord souls
- Randomized enemies
- Asylum Demon & Taurus Demon are simple bosses
- A random map is gravelorded every 10 minutes - Different from official rules
- Gravelording a map means spawning NG+ phantom enemies to a random area of the world every 10 minutes.
- Ghosts are tangible (aka they can be hit without a curse)
- Don’t scale enemies down - Official rules use scaling, but momma didn’t raise no bitch
