The are a bit slow and it takes forever for them to use any of their cool shit. They should have been faster, hit for less. Kind of a downgrade from Midir, since ER dragons aren't ultimate bosses and need to be more resonable challenge. Midir's design should have been improved and made for easier, but they just made it more easier. Kind of disappointing, since there isn't a huge variety in strats between wyrm and dragon. Atleast we have Pacidussax, which is pretty decent for what they were going with.
The idea of Lansseax is neat, but I feel the execution was underdeveloped. We don't even get to hear a projected voice from her before her fights, a la the second Margit encounter near Leyndell. Her arenas feel poorly selected too, as she routinely gets caught on the terrain and her lightning glaive waves glitch out to be harmless. The sword monument and her battlefield should have been swapped so she'd have more, better space, but not so clear and level as to mirror her brother, Fortissax's, arena. Lansseax's stats are way too low for an ancient dragon too, so you can get some head hits and win swiftly. She doesn't have many options to punish hugging her hind legs either, though all ancient dragons share that weakness, save for Fortissax and Farum Azula's last lightning dragon. The poor gal can't use the AOE lightning bolts more than once either, and even the first Farum Azula dragon has more glaive moves than her, the glaive's possible inventor! Lansseax got done dirty. That said, if she retained her old name from the coding, it might have implied that she was some sort of lesser ancient dragon to excuse it. I can't recall it atm, but it was either "progeny", to imply that she's younger (and possibly an earlier era "devolution" to the Greyoll dragons), or something like "creation", as if she was an attempted replica or homunculus of the ancient dragons.
This made me realize how insane the lightning glaive and the lightning spear look like from far away, it really shows how powerful these ancient dragons are
Elden Beast: *aggressively attacks* The dragon siblings: *slowly approach and tank all damage* Always good to see dragons win though, because dragons best mythical beasts.

I haven't seen the Elden Beast be so crippingly addicted to melee since Patch 1.04. Bummer. What happens if he zones, or even does the golden needles? I'm genuinely curious if the needles will all hit or if the dragons have a lot of invincible spots on their bodies -- the wings and torso ridges seem especially unharmed by players' multi-shot sorceries. Also, wow, if not for the 2X HP, Lansseax would be dead in a flash even at NG+7. Thanks for the video. More 2/3 rounds videos, a la the Crucible Knights vs. Radagon fight, would be fun to see. It's cool to watch how certain moves can interact. The Elden Beast's golden needles might have cleaned house, been averted, or been walled by Fortissax's 80% holy resistance -- or overcome it. On the flip side, the dragons' downward fire breaths, especially the aerial version, might have annihilated the Elden Beast. That flying fire breath feels like it chains a dozen hitboxes into some Fist of the North Star combo designed to kill unwavering Spirit Ashes.
The needles typically hit the center of the ennemy, and I don't see many moves with which they would put their head on the way of the attack. I never noticed any invicibility away from the wings in any boss vs boss

Their city has carvings of wormfaces in it, so if they were turning people (and worms) into those things in their heyday, then the dragons did *tons* of wrong things. Whoever's responsible for turning beings into those things is taking a major L to their "were they good?" score. Maybe you can argue the beastmen lodged in walls happened due to some calamity, but those carvings are art, heyday creations.
@@travisoliver6741 Farum Azula is covered in depictions of the Twinbird, the mother of the Deathbirds, which inflict Deathblight with their screams. Since Farum Azula is the oldest known civilization in Elden Ring's setting, it appears that Deathblight and wormfaces were first created long before the Night of the Black Knives.
@@nightscout9979 You actually find aspects of Godwyn's corpse (But obviously not the real one) and Those Who Live in Death in Farum Azula, indicating that the corrupting influence of it permeates even here. The Twinbird and Deathbirds existed before the Erdtree, and were responsible for burning the dead in Ghostflame. All we know about Farum Azula's own practices involved unalloyed gold for their most important figures (Extrapolating from the Varna burial), so they likely had some form of veneration for the Twinbird. In any case, I've always assumed that the Deathbirds have that Death Screech because of Godwyn. The Twinbird in the statue isn't a misshapen abomination like it's creations. Furthermore, Deathbirds are always mentioned in lore in association with Ghostflame, and everything connected to Death Blight has connection to Godwyn or Godwyn's corruptive nature. Assuming that the Deathbirds at some point looked like their creator, it looks like the Deathbirds have their current form because of Death Blight. And also, as an aside, the Ancient Dragons can't be responsible for Wormfaces because they themselves are weak to Death Blight, as we know from Foetissax.
@@travisoliver6741 I know that some Deathroot growths are up there, but no one is going to be meticulously carving wormface designs into the entire city's architecture ages upon ages after the society collapsed and it became a massive ruin. Those carvings, along with the Twinbird carvings, indicate that Farum Azula had the Deathblight even at the time of the city's construction, and thus that far, *far* predates even Godwyn's birth, let alone his death on the Night of the Black Knives. The various items relating to the Deathbirds, obtained from defeating the Deathbirds no less, call them malevolent (the axe) and fixated on drawing out a person's death (the branch swords), so something as cruel and hateful as the Deathblight may easily stem from them. After all, the centipede mark appears even when using the Ghostflame sorceries, suggesting that the centipede and its significance also predated Godwyn and his death. The dead don't seem to end up burning away in Ghostflame either, hence the screaming spirits of the rancor calls, akin to Rykard's slaves. Just because Farum Azula's society had the Deathblight doesn't mean that the dragons and other beings would have to be immune to the Deathblight. Farum Azula might have venerated gold, judging from the dragons' wings and the Elden Ring mural in Maliketh's arena, but the Deathblight seems to have been part of their civilization too.
In theory, this is what would've happened if the dragon attack on Leyndell succeeded. These two might've fought their way into the Erdtree and claimed the Elden Ring for themselves, one of them becoming a god and the other an Elden Lord. Or they might've woken Placi's sleeping ass up, told him to stop moping about his god leaving him and have him become Elden Lord again. Oh yeah... and cool fight.
Both dragons- insidiously & menacingly aproach Eldern Beast. Eldern Beast- responds with their strongest ranged attacks. Fortisax- (tanking every hit like a boss) ~" ti's but a scratch." meanwhile.. Ancient dragon - loses near 1/3 of her health from the attack but does so looking like a badass.
Jesus! This was EPIC. Probably a contender for best boss v boss fight. The only other one that could be better I'd say is Soul of Cinder and Nameless King vs Slave Knight Gael
They look like they were posing for a sibling dance in the end nice video - I´m surprised Fortissax had more health then Lansseax, I always thought she has more since she technically resides in a later area but maybe it scales differently in NG+
Ello Bon, have you tried modding the bosses yourself and changing stuff around? Would be cool to see some crazy stuff like Mohg using black flame or Rennala using a rain of glinstone blades like Morgott
The Everlasting Dragons of Dark Souls did have two sets of wings. You can see them in the cinematic intro for DS1 and with the Stone Dragon of Ash Lake, who retains enough of the ancients' features despite his (or her) differences.
Yeah, he was obsessed with melee'ing them both after the opening sword beams, aside from that second beam combo. I was hoping to see how they'd fare against his needle rains, and if Fortissax's 80% holy resistance would have clowned on the move. I'm glad we got this fight, but I'd love to see more rounds, a la the Crucible Knights vs. Radagon. More rounds would give us a chance to see if the dragons' downward fire breath would devastate in turn.
Feels like FromSoftware wanted to do dragons some justice since they weren't really that impressive in the previous Soulsborne titles (exception being Midir).

Placidusax can fight the Elden Beast well on his own. Bonfire might make a video about it one day, but if not, Yoboto has the best fight between those behemoths, resolving the targeting issues Placidusax has with his claw dives on bosses. It might be better to showcase Radagon and the Elden Beast against Placidusax, because he's truly dragon Hoarah Loux.
A shame they made elden beast a second phase and made him super weak. I'm so glad a god is the weakest boss in the game. One thing I truly hate about this game. The last boss should be the hardest, especially if you're going to call it a God.
Dragons in Elden Ring are truly a thing of beauty. They did an amazing job with them.
they all same. fighting with same dragons with over, and over, and over.

Love how Lansseax lost half her health before the fight even started and she still managed to get the final blow on Elden Beast
Would like to see the human Lannseax - it would be so cool to find this white-clad priestess just tossing lightning left and right as a boss.
I imagine human Lansseax to be a regular human using dragon-sized lighting attacks.
