Is it Possible? Trying to Beat the game Maidenless (Reject Melina)

[Shafi]

Is it possible? People say you can't do it without wrong warp exploit/glitch.

It's a fun challenge run so far. No levelling up. No Horse. No round table hold npcs. no spirit tuning. no spirt summons (without the summoning bell). no black smith. no weapons or spells with high stat requirements. etc

Level 5 Bandit. I'm relying heavily on bleed damage. It's hard to fight bosses that are immune to bleed. Buckler Parry is surprisingly powerful against a lot of bosses. You can get weapons to +3 with the smithing table in the first church. Getting around the map is a bit slow without torrent.

Hope FromSoft adds a maidenless ending.

if you want suffering...

[Baby don't hurt me]

you won't be able to go into Royal capital without visiting round table
so there is no normal way to complete the game while being maidenless

[Crest]

going to the capital other than wrong warp is to use rupture crystal tear to fall down the lift with the giant golem you can tp from return tower

Thanks for the heads up.

You can't use Grand Lift of Rold, therefor no Forbidden Lands or Mountaintops of the Giants, because Melina has the key to it.

Also you can do Smithing, Iji can do it outside Carian Manor. Somber weapon I think can hit +6 or +7 before Forbidden Land / Mountaintops / Farum Azula. If you're a Bandit you should be able to equip Reduvia?

Thx for the info.

I was planning to get the 3 fingers to burn the erdtree without melina. Is there some way to get to mountaintops of giant without melina or warp glitch. Or maybe there is a way to get to Farum Azula without mountaintops of giant.

I guess I can form the accord with Melina at foot of the erdtree after beating Morgott. Thus immediately completing the accord as soon as it's formed. Then do the 3 finger ending.

I don't remember if Iji actually does smithing or just sells stones. Great if I can upgrade more.

I already have Reduvia; first thing I got. I also bought the parrying dagger from patches but need 1 more dex. Right now I'm using Reduvia and the starting Great Knife with parry ash of war - both have blood loss build up passive.

Need some reliable way to kill bleed immune enemies.

No intended ways to do it

As far as I know, there's exactly two ways into Leyndell:
1. Kill the Draconic Tree Sentinel standing guard outside
2. Teleport in through the gate at the Prince of Death's proverbial feet

Either way, you get dumped at the main entrance of the capital before the shiny golden fog that says "Go away, collect two Great Runes!"

So yeah.

The third way is a teleport chest at a Watchtower in Weeping Peninsula that will take you to the Divine Bridge Site of Grace (where you get the Blessed Dew Talisman). This is where people usually wrong warp or use the exploding physick glitch to get to the bottom of the lift and be able to progress through Leyndell normally.

Didnt wrong warp get fixed in 1.06 ?

Some of them did. I thought I saw vids of people claiming they were doing it on 1.06, but I may be mistaken.

I got to the capital without a maiden and RL1 but I couldn't be bothered to learn how to glitch into the capital so I just continued with Maiden, was sad.

[cybercybercybercyber4]

just to add a little trivia:

in the beginning of the game varre tells you that you can enter the roundtable hold even without a maiden, but to do that you first need to defeat Godrick and obtain his great rune
(so you would need to collect it from his tower i guess).

But since people attempting a maidenless run will have done that already i wonder what the next step would be to get to the roundtable hold. talk to varre again? ill check it out eventually.

Maybe youll have to visit the roundtable hold to get the rold medallion in some way as well.
