Story Finally. After ten years it happened.

Post image

Ten years, 400+ hours, i dont know how many playthroughs.

For the first time tonight i beat the bed of chaos on the first try with no deaths.

I honestly did not think this was even going to happen. Its the reason ive never attempted a deathless run before. Its actually pretty common for me to go deathless for the entire game except the BoC.

My wife wont understand lol, so im sharing this monumental occasion with you all.

Praise the sun!

BoC ruined my deathless run, and I haven’t had the heart to try it again 😩

Anyway, awesome job!

u/LuNakin_00 Mar 18 '26

If you allow yourself to quit out it's much easier. Quit out after destroying a branch and you'll be back at the top of the slide. The real danger of that boss fight is the walk back to center from each of the branches. You can also try with a bow standing as close to the back wall as possible, you're pretty safe that way

u/YourDriverStubnorts Mar 18 '26

That’s a good plan, never thought to use a bow!

I was quitting out before, I just got swept into a hole trying to drop into the middle for the final blow 😩

u/LuNakin_00 Mar 18 '26

Yes lol that's definitely the scariest part. Try to run as soon as it finishes an attack. As for the bow, be sure to bring a lot of arrows because it's not consistent at all, all the area around the branches has very bad and weird collision. It's definitely a slow and boring process, but kind of the safest for a no death run

u/aarontbarratt Mar 19 '26

If you learn how to do the bow line up and use bombs the fight is trivial and doesn't require you to quit out

Can't recall a boss called the bed of chaos. Are you sure your not confusing It with the bed of bullshit?

u/grognard19 Apr 05 '26

dude that got removed in the dlc, the devs replaced it with the bed of <various slurs that i can’t say here>

u/stichen97 Mar 18 '26

I just realised, bed of chaos is the only boss I have never beaten without dying at least once.

Yeah i decided to do a grim reaper playthrough. 🤘

u/ZeltArruin Mar 18 '26

No quit out or tohki bombs?

u/gunslinger_006 Mar 18 '26

No bombs but i absolutely did quit out between killing the two outer orbs.

u/veloxVolpes Mar 18 '26

Intended mechanics as far as I'm concerned

u/godverdejezushey Mar 18 '26

Agreed, make a stupid boss, I will fight it stupidly

u/DiscussionCold3026 Mar 19 '26

Hahaha 😂 nice nice legit lol at that 1 . Bed of chaos was even fought by the souls guide Fightincowboy in the same way . It def is a set in stone way to fight BoC.

u/TheGoatManJones Mar 18 '26

It has to be intentional, it’s the only boss that saves your progress and doesn’t reset when you quit out

u/Sea_Construction947 Mar 18 '26

Seriously. Every time on the walk back from either orb I instantly get thrown in a hole, I swear I will never do it deathless without quit outs.

u/bilcox Mar 18 '26

That's the one with the tree branches knocking you into death pits beneath a crumbling floor?

That "boss" confused the hell out of me. Do not recommend

u/Urtoryu Mar 18 '26

I did that once. Was a deathless run until that point too...

Then Tomb of the Giants happened.

.

I. Hate. Tomb. Of. The. Giants.

u/Tall_Bid_4541 Mar 18 '26

Im so very proud of you son.

u/gunslinger_006 Mar 18 '26

Thanks dad!

u/CrownLexicon Mar 18 '26

Im trying deathless. Im not looking forward to BoC

u/DiscussionCold3026 Mar 19 '26

Best of luck 🤞🙂

u/alchemical52 Mar 18 '26

Grats man, praise the sun \ [-] /

u/wizardrous Mar 18 '26

Nice! I just did it for the first time too like a week ago. It feels great. Congrats!

u/Hakkor22 Mar 18 '26

GG, bed of chaos is such an annoying Boss, Its not even hard, Just annoying af

u/One-Set-2135 Mar 18 '26

Boomboclat

u/cuntslowdown Mar 18 '26

I beat BoC first try on my first play through by the power of luck

u/Elegant-Issue-8728 Mar 18 '26

Congrats on the achievement and not going hollow. I think you should go for the deathless run. I believe in you and you should believe in you too. But if you can’t, believe in the me that believes in you. 👍

u/asteriska Mar 31 '26

Your character looks awesome.

u/gunslinger_006 Mar 31 '26

Thanks! Thats the gold hemmed set, great scythe, and grass crest shield.

u/Federal_Extreme_8079 Mar 18 '26

Congratulations for the effort! I cant beat it without dying at least 3 times. Did you try to beat it without dying or it happened by accident?!

u/Flamaijian Mar 18 '26

I’ve managed this a couple times in dozens of play throughs. Never intentionally though, I would just zone out and get lucky.

u/JadeCornPens Mar 18 '26

Forgive me for the noob question, but it's fine to homie bone out after each orb right?

u/gunslinger_006 Mar 18 '26

Don’t use a bone, just quit the game via the menu.

When you reload you will be at the fog gate.

u/JadeCornPens Mar 18 '26

I guess I'm just not a fan of quitting out. Is it okay if you quit out when you accidentally fall off a ledge in a deathless run, and then avoid falling? I'm thinking of doing a deathless run, is there any way to get the 100% accepted format without watching a bunch of content?

u/Cobakli Mar 18 '26

Crazy that they took this name and made it an NPC in Elden Ring.

u/--Gojo-Satoru-- Mar 18 '26

Praise the sun! And congratulations!

u/CollapsedPlague Mar 18 '26

Fit goes hard

u/harrysterone Mar 18 '26

those twings and the falling ground really did me dirty

u/Hoodrat_Recon Mar 18 '26

I was so confident my first time. Had watched a playthrough before. I got this. Still fucking died.

u/-BigFatFishy- Mar 18 '26

I totally didn't realize it was an accomplishment but on my very first playthrough I beat BOC first try

u/DanielOdrani Mar 18 '26

I began ds1 two weeks ago and I remember how I have beaten bed of chaos on my first try…

u/Cosmic-Sympathy Mar 18 '26

BoC is still a bit random, but it got easier for me when I realized you could quit out and then restart right outside the fog gate. So for me, it's three, one-way trips, each of them fairly easy if you know the path.

u/sheasheawanton Mar 18 '26

For anyone attempting deathless runs, it is worth it to learn the bomb method. Very easy and reliable once you get used to it.

u/mr_b0ngz Mar 18 '26

praise the sun 🌞 [T]

u/TheManOfOurTimes Mar 18 '26

Well done, skellington. You didn't give up.

u/opposium Mar 19 '26

Divorce that wife of yours and be with me!

u/Intelligent_Duck1844 Mar 19 '26

What is BoC But or co**

u/Opposite-Ad8937 Mar 21 '26

There's always the fire bomb cheese standing in a certain spot and using bow aiming to line up fire bomb throws then just made dashing to the bug but it can still fire tempest you to death
