it's exactly as you say, it keeps Bayle's stance level from recovering. it's particularly helpful if you feel like you can't get in for a melee punish either because of distance or a long combo

it's a shame too, since the atmosphere of this fight is excellent. if only it wasn't for the laser, spawned hands, crawl attack...classic Elden Ring coming up with an awesome concept and making it miserable with just a few bad decisions in favor of spectacle

@@qcom100 Facts. Love the OST and visuals too.

should be no problem, crucible feather just makes it comfier, though i was honestly using it more for the thorns/slams...found myself getting clipped by them way more than i expected (massive skill issue)

thanks! kind of wish i didn't just RNG farm her for a laser-less kill, but oh well. good question about the crawl - i don't know if there's a point-blank dodge for it or not. it doesn't seem to come out much though, if you maintain close range and stay in front of her. at least from what i remember

honestly you got me on the music, but Igon might be the most overrated from npc in i don't even know how long 🥱

i think that was just due to the frost proc on hit 1 of that final crit. you can see how its damage total of 5900 is less than the earlier 6442 damage frost-proc'ing crit at 0:43 where RKR was actually active. the other RKR crits throughout the fight that don't proc frost land closer to the 3000 damage mark

this was genuinely my strat, i.e. undiagnosed insanity. i think what's emerged since is baiting out her spinning top attack in phase 2, running in for a single punish, then running out to regain distance - rinse and repeat 😵‍💫

glad to help! though to be honest my approach was crazy unsafe. i'm sure there are some much better pure backstab loops that could have worked...oppai's probably got one 🙇

@@qcom100 That's true, but it did the job!!!!! And that's what matters

hey, thanks! i appreciate it. i'm actually going to start learning Radahn soon so there's been a lot of recent testing going on with Metyr's laser and to my knowledge it's still currently undodgeable without extra tools. the funkiest and most bulletproof solution is chaining Miriam's Vanishing into Bloodhound Step like this amazing vid shows ruclips.net/video/tjviwezHkLo/видео.html you can also use Raptor of the Mists to the actual laser beams, but that doesn't help with the point-blank aoe at the attack startup

thanks! glad to hear it and hope the run is going well

when i'm ready to start actual attempts i just proc it like most do with Seppuku (plus Assassin's Gambit) and make a save state with Save Organizer. from there load the save state and disable the Writable toggle (from within Save Organizer) so Elden Ring doesn't overwrite your prepped RTSR. if you get hit and die, just quit out, continue the game, and your original save state will load with RTSR proc'd you do waste time since you have to load in twice, but it's still faster and less work than having to re-equip Seppuku/Gambit weapons and proc from scratch. once i beat the boss i just re-enable the Writable toggle in Save Organizer, turn on No Death in ERTool, and kill him once more to progress the save for practice i just tick the No Death and 1 HP flags in ERTool (and disable the Writable flag on the save), but i don't like to use those for real attempts

hey blogs! i had the same experience. there's a surprisingly enjoyable flow to the fight even if it's frustrating you have to chase him down pretty often

thanks! love this fight, just wish it had a few things tweaked to be more fair and consistent

thanks! i actually still haven't routed anything myself yet, so i'm not the best resource there. this run i followed exzerothree's All Great Runes route, since it was a clean run on the 1.10 patch and started with Rykard, who i wanted to get out of the way early at the time. on that note, oppai's Rykard breakdown is truly a life saver when it comes to understanding how to deal with phase 2 and when it's safe to start the Serpent-Hunter weapon art loop predictably the hardest fight in AGR is Malenia because of Waterfowl, scripting phase 2 with sleep, and just the overall complex moveset if you fight any of her straight up. i tried learning the point-blank Waterfowl dodge, and definitely got better at it, but not confident enough to break it out in runs. hence Bloodhound Step to save the day on those first Waterfowl flurries as with any of these challenge runs, the key is just to practice the fights and more difficult running sections (e.g. Farum Azula birds, Haligtree). ERTool is crucial for its flags like No Death so you can continuously practice without worry. save organizer is the de facto way for managing saves. you'll start to get a feeling for which fights and areas are giving you the most trouble and you can hone those as needed so many fights in Elden Ring, especially with Iron Ball / Star Fist, wind up being either fully or partially scripted kills, where as long as you pull off the setup right, you're (fully or partially) guaranteed to get the same outcome. good examples of fully scripted kills are Margit, Morgott, Radagon, and Elden Beast. fights like Godrick, Radahn and Fire Giant are partially scripted in that you only really have to learn a few opening and phase transition attacks, otherwise the fights will flow consistently between attempts. a fight like Goldfrey is unscripted, but his low health and simpler moveset relative to a lot of ER bosses make it very manageable the Team Hitless discord is great for strats, guides, and general resources. i modeled my any% run off the meta Iron Ball route and recycle's guide which was invaluable and i highly recommend if you haven't seen it. this might have been more info than you needed, but hopefully will be helpful and include some new information! exzerothree's All Great Runes 1.10 run: www.twitch.tv/videos/1911127159 oppai's Rykard phase 2 breakdown: ruclips.net/video/EXi-E-O5c4g/видео.html ERTool: ds3tool.s3.ap-southeast-2.amazonaws.com/tools.html SoulsSpeedruns - Save Organizer: github.com/Kahmul/SoulsSpeedruns-Save-Organizer recycle's Elden Ring any% hitless guide: ruclips.net/video/Le6qfRTa8lU/видео.html team hitless discord: discord.gg/4E7cSK7

@@qcom100 thanks for the detailed reply dude, and for the resources! Ya I joined the discord and have been using recycle’s guide for my any% run - new PB of 5 hits today - got hit to goldfrey and maliketh, so I’m confident I can get this soon (hopefully before DLC!) ERtool and save organiser have made it so easy to practice, they’re amazing tools! What’s your next run?

@@JamieThrows no problem, and congrats on the PB! it's definitely right within your sights. Goldfrey and Maliketh are some of the toughest fights on the Iron Ball route i was hoping to get All Remembrances before the DLC but i ran out of time just as i finished making saves and practicing. i think after i enjoy the release casually i'll either continue AR, or possibly try a DLC-focused run depending on how the categories develop
