As shown in the video below Iron Pineapple's quest for a new home ran into Elden Ring Runes several dead ends, some of which took him down routes that were ultimately unsuccessful.

The Godskin Duo in Crumbling Faram Azula was causing even his leveled up ashes trouble, for example, Iron Pineapple decided it was time to take one of the most powerful summons in the game, Black Knife Tiche. The only issue is that the player must be able to complete Ranni the Witch's quest for Tiche's ashes. It wasn't until jumping through the many obstacles and finally completing the boss who unlocked Tiche that Iron Pineapple realized he couldn't call for help, thus preventing his from receiving Tiche making the whole detour useless.

"I probably spent the majority of my time with the Godskin Duo," Iron Pineapple said. "For a while, I was convinced that if I just healed effectively enough and was lucky with attack patterns, I could get it done. Of course, I ultimately utilized the torch to inflict sleep rather than."

It's not surprising that Iron Pineapple also used the Mimic Tear, which acts like a duplicate of your character. It also is regarded as one of the most versatile summons from Elden Ring, even after its nerf in 1.03 patch. Iron Pineapple spent much of his peaceful run focussing on other sources of damage and when the moment came to shove, it was hard not to notice the potential to design a custom sidekick. This is why he was able to using the Mimic Tear to buy Elden Ring Runes defeat many of the more difficult, end-game bosses.
