Can ANY Boss Survive the Night of Black Knives? - Elden Ring
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 5 июн 2024
- In this elden ring video I'm testing whether any boss would be able to survive the so called "night of the black knives", actually fighting against 10 black knife assassins in a boss vs boss battle.
According to the elden ring lore, the night of the black knives was the event that led to the death of Godwyn, son of queen Marika the eternal and Godfrey, first elden lord; and was a turning point in what would be a catalyst for the shattering of the Elden Ring, plunging the kingdom into chaos without the guidance of the Greater Will.

DAMN the Maliketh fight was seriously underrated.
The fact that he INMEDIATELLY positioned himself better to not be surrounded, used AoE attacks first, and TOOK COVER of the Black Knife's own destined death, like he knew what kind of weapon they were using and how to counter it.
So clean he never even needed to reveal the Black Blade.
Tbf he's specifically hiding the black blade because of them. He's probably been playing out this fight in his head for a while.
literally that figth was canon
Literally one of if not the coolest boss. I just love the way he fights too.
@@YaksenPushMongo LMAO, lil bro is projecting hard. You're the one who should learn before speaking, child.
@@lolz3895🤣🤣 right
For Radahn, it almost always seems to come down to whether or not he can pull off his meteor attack.
and fohr mog if he can nihil theyr asses
I predicted he would decimate them with his meteor attack but still, all 10 caught in it? Lol
@@WittyCorvian Well the player positioned himself so the meteor was a direct hit, and they were all grouped up idling
Yeah, that’s how a lot of Radahn Vs other Ai fights go. Radahn can be taken down to half pretty quickly by quite a few enemies, but that meteor is made to kill literally anything it hits, so if you get caught in it, you’re dead
Same thing with Malenia, that rot attack is what kills everyone because it takes like 10 minutes to disappear and the AI doesn't know to not be close when that happens lol
That wasnt Rick's hp, it was his patience bar
He wasn’t even attacking, he was just stretching
That's gold
This is literally one of the best comments I've seen on RUclips lol
And he was just napping at the end
underrated
I love how malenia got mercked then basically goes and says "nah run that shit back" and enters creative mode
Yooo.... They really did just mash her right quick though lol that was so fucked!
What severe lack of poise does to a person
if she had gotten literally a single flurry out in her first phase it would have been all over
@@zjaeriqsanders1731 hence why she got Jumped. The black knives wasn’t having any of that lmao
Being the elden noob I am,for a hot second I thought she would lose. In my defense I’ve never played the game (too scared) but I love watching others play 😂
In fairness to Malenia, that whole "nuke the world" strategy she pulls out every time she's about to lose really comes in handy.
I like to imagine that if the fight didn’t take place in the Haligtree the bloom she does when she goes phase 2 would have created another Caelid.
@@xerofire lore wise it would be a fair assumption that the second bloom (the one in her phase 2) would be as powerful as the first one (when fighting Radahn), if not more so, but what she actually does is much smaller than the first one we can see when she fought Radahn.
canonically it probably should create another caelid, but the gameplay aspect stops that, or else we'd become like Radahn
@@JS-kc1tmor the player character is just built different
@@JS-kc1tmI thought malenia’s bloom from the boss fight against the player is her third bloom?
@@Stixxx_. we can't really assume that the bloom outside her arena is hers, because that would mean the one after the fight would be the fourth, but there shouldn't even be a fourth bloom
Malekith didn’t just rely on an enormous healthbar, he actually outskilled and finessed them.
"Bloodhound‘s finesse" joined the chat:
Which is kind of funny because in my Playthrough, Tiche all but soloed him 😅
@@littlebluewolfiesame lol
Watching Gideon give his speech knowing he is about to get shivved like Ceaser just made me laugh so much.
Sir Gideon Ofnir, the All-Ganked
Haha, yeah I audibly laughed. Dude didn’t get one cast off.
Pouring one out for Gideon
@@ryandunnlives what got me was the lack of weapon arts from the assassins. They were like “Nah, he’s pathetic, we’re gunna make him suffer”
He could not cast a single thing lol
Radahn just annihilating them with Starfall has to be one of the best moments I've seen.
That was awesome and to a lesser degree Radagon dying of the flame but taking 8 of them with him with that last explosion is a close second imo
Phase 2 begins when he...uh....he uh....
Jumps
INTO THE UPPER ATMOSPHERE
HIKARI INTENSIFIES
Yes but that’s more of an ai issue
@@rav3style what do u want the ai to dodge?
Radahn has to be one of my least favorite bosses cause his attacks can hit too many people at once it's bad enough he's like been a giant beyblade.
I love Mohg desperately trying to count down so he can heal but the Black Knives don't even let him reach Unus
He either clutch with Nihil or die trying
Carolus rex my *ryhmes with vigor
That sad little walk the last assassin did during Astel’s meteorite attack is cracking me up. She saw the cosmos being manipulated before her eyes and decided she wasn’t getting paid enough for this.
Omg you made me lol
I like how Malekith didn't need to enter his second phase. He be like, "you dare use my own cheat against me, fools"
He's the Half-Blood Prince. Immune to his own machinations. Fits stupidly well with the lore considering nobody, Marika/Radagon and Godfrey included, dared go up against the Godskins and the Gloam-Eyed Queen back when they were at full power wielding Destined Death. Maliketh was the only one who could. He just seems to be too clever, agile and powerful to die to it.
@@TheStraightestWhitest can you tell me about that gloam eyed queen?
@@rannithewitch9967 gloam eyed queen is melina
@@barrontrump3943 wha, just that?
@@rannithewitch9967 no ody really knows. But in the 3 fingers ending Melina has a purple eye that opens. The eye that was squinted the whole game. Some say gloam eyed queen was Marika. Hopefully DLC will show us this
Best boi Maliketh was impressive to watch, he didn't even need to bring out his Black Blade to wipe the floor with these thieves. Destined Death will indeed not be stolen again!
I was genuinely surprised that they never staggered him. Also, him jumping behind that pillar was the best accident ever, it looked like he was actually taking cover from the projectiles. It's a good thing for him that he did, as those were like eight energy slashes, and the NPC and boss Rune of Death effects seem to stack at a factor that just doubles their damage and speed.
I know legit nothing about the lore of this game but it looks like the assassins are malikeths soldiers or something
damn straight Malikeths THE BEST lol
@@silentxwxlf In a way, I suppose you could say. The Black Knife Assassins, and/or a certain Witch, stole a fragment of the Rune of Death from Maliketh, imbuing their own daggers with the power of Destined Death but to a lesser degree than his namesake Black Blade. When you first enter Maliketh's arena he tells you that Destined Death will not be taken from him again. From a lore perspective, it feels like justice that he won this round 2 battle against the Black Knife Assassins. His whole purpose was to safeguard and also deliver Destined Death to Queen Marika's foes and he technically failed in that role by having a fragment of his Rune of Death stolen and then used to kill Marika's offspring, eventually triggering The Shattering.
Would have been SO cinematic to see actual Maliketh fighting the assassins with them all throwing those energy blades at each other lol
That Radagon fight was just awesome to watch. I liked imagining him yelling, "ENOUGH!" Throughout the fight, when he did the triple ground slam.
he was so pissed he wanted to shatter to elden ring again
The assassins looked so confused when Radahn took off into the sky. Then after a few seconds before they got blasted they got even more confused like they didn't know why they were hearing boss music 😂
The black knife assassins failing to even get the beast clergyman form through was satisfying though. Malekith straight up fought like "Oh no, I know how you fuckers play"
The fact he went behind a pillar so they could use the slash-
He won't let the same mistake happen again.
Unless it's the player, of course
I will not have it stolen from me again.
I love how when Radahn seemingly just disappears they all look confused and then the camera pans over to see the COMET OF PURE RAGE HURTLE TOWARDS THEM.
Assassin: Where ? What ! HOW..
Looks like they were tracking the horse that stays underground as an anchor for Radahn lands.
Dont mess with atomic bomb
"I MUST PROTECT LEONARD!"
I love that beast clergyman immediately started throwing hands, no hesitation
Dude had enough after round one.
Somewhere it makes sense for Rennala to get bullied so hard. She isn't quite a demigod or some superhuman, just a big brain lady.
Rennala is up there with the Giants and the Dragons in power levels if you think about the lore. And both Dragons and Giants lost against Marika's Golden Order. Raya Lucaria and the Carian Royal Family led by Rennala did not get beaten. But it is true I don't think she has the title of a Demigod even though her children do.
@@OokamiTez I think she's definitely up there with the more powerful beings of the world, and she's definitely superhuman or post-human in some way given her life span and mastery of magic, but she doesn't have divine blood.
Her kids do through Radagon as their father, so it makes sense they're demigods.
@@dootmarine1140 Actually I think Demigod is more used as a title in Elden Ring. Because Radagon's children were not Demigods before Radagons marriage to Marika, where they were bestowed the title through being children of the Queens Consort. IIRC
@@OokamiTez thats just because the world doesn't know marika and radagon are the same person they were born demigod but only gained the title when they became stepchildren of marika
well that's because the Rennala boss is just an illusion summoned by Ranni. We never get to see Rennala actually fight.
Fire giant 1st phase: "Oh wow, they might barely make it to 2nd phase!"
Fire giant 2nd phase: "Ayo what the health bar doin?"
yea wth, was that poison damage?
oh probably destined death i guess
@@tylerd4884 No, just their weapon's Ash of War immediately being spammed by every single Black Knife that survived the first phase 🤣
It's like they're saying: "Oh, fuck off!" Big 'wholly fed up with the Giant' vibe
I read this comment before watching that part of the video and laughed my ass off when it got to it.
Fire Giant: Here let me nearly one shot all of you with a combat roll real quick.
Black Knives: oh we're playing CHEAP? One sec
Sir Gideon looked all cool and badass delivering his monologue before the fight but in the end, he couldn't even get a single attack out as expected
1 carian slicer. Thats all he could manage
dude lasted longer than i expected (mostly because he spent the entire fight otg)
I was rooting for him, wanted to see an anime moment but ended up seeing some generally knowledgeable guy get shanked.
I wasn’t too surprised by his loss. Hes literally like dude from the wizard of oz moving doing things behind the scenes and having others do tasks for him. This is what happens when the people pull back the curtain and realize he’s just a dude , get em!! 😭😭😭😭 Like that meme “fight back! Fight back!” 😭😭😭
Like dropping some meat in a piranha tank
Gideon getting stuck in the corner, trying to cast law of regression, with the sigil appearing on top of a pile of carnage was comedy gold
15:39 I love how the majority of what you see is a bunch of black clad ninjas forming a cloud of blades, and then one of them just comes in from the top rope
Maliketh's fight was PERSONAL. He recognized the shitheads who stole his piece of Death and proceeded to wipe the floor with them
He really made a comeback.
and oh boy, he made them pay
Piece of death sounds like a weird insult
... Except it was Ranni who stole it, she just *gave* it to the Assassin's. Like she gave Rykard the ability to become a big snake. Ranni, low key responsible for all of the worst shit in Elden Ring lore.
@@archsteel7 lol you mean the manipulative gods who demand service without recompense. They got what they deserved even miquella (Pitties Godwyn indicating they were close) and malenia and rykard were planning to overthrow the erdtre order.
The lone survivor walking towards Astel after seeing all their comrades get wiped before actually giving it a fair shot and surviving longer than all of them combined but ultimately facing a tragic end was the most cinematic AI battle I probably ever saw.
true folk
You should see Lorian vs the demon prince now that’s an cinematic AI battle
Lol, Astel just played with that poor guy, he got bullied to death
And the lone survivor that killed rykard 1st phase
I feel you fr, but still you gotta get on dat SaltyBet if this you yr ultimate AI battle ngl.
"Don't run directly into the lava. Tiche, baby, no.."
"Don't run directly into the flower. Tiche, baby, no.."
Fire Giant seemed extremely bugged, just constantly and rapidly losing health in phase 2, like he was hit by every "black knife" attack at the same time, but I don't think that's mathematically possible. They weren't even attacking him yet.
I see him always losing just above 4k when he enters phase 2, possibly to stay consistent with him ripping his leg off, but then Idk why Godrick doesn't lose some unless he gets it back for adding the dragon? Idk.
@@Shin_FTWeven with this though I think he has a minimum he can be put down to in phase 2. I feel like this was probably a bug
Maliketh is literally the definition of "Look at what they have to do to mimic a fraction of my power"
Didn’t even get him to second phase lmao
I will never understand the hype around Malenia in a game where Maliketh exists.

Seeing Maliketh perform accurate dodges, using terrain for cover and pivoting around it when necessary, etc, really makes it look like an actual fight and not just AI which is insane

Maliketh finessed the shit out of them
@@andrej8413 he’s upset that they stole pieces of his Black Blade to go off and do goon shit
That’s why he went full Executioner on them
Best one by far so far. Radahn was hilarious but for the most part, the winners only won because of frankly enormous AoE attacks. BC just showed why he's the boss.
@@SondreGrneng I mean, when you're fighting 10 people that all do percentage damage on their ranged attack
I like how Godfrey basically was like “I AINT DYING ALONE” 😂😂😂
Honestly, Godfrey has the most respect from me, because he almost won without some cheesy ass move (e.g. Radahn’s meteor)
I was expecting Malekith to survive. I wasn't expecting him to be so dominant that they didn't even get him to phase 2. What an absolute monster
He's the only one that "outskilled" them (if an AI can do so). Pretty much all of the others won by massive AOE attacks that the AI wasn't smart enough to dodge.
I didn't see any Druchii's King here
Freezer vs krillin xD
Where was Maliketh? I only saw Gurranq who was the same move set minus the black blade aoe slice maliketh has. I want to see that one. Regardless, Gurranq handled his business.
There's a reason they had to steal a part of the rune and not take it by force.
My boi is the only one the God's feared
I actually laughed when the fire giant rolled around and squashed the assassins like they were just annoying bugs to him.
It felt like Fate/Zero's Rider v/s Assassin all over again xD
He would gotten an ez dub if they all started where the player starts
Why did his hp melt when he got to phase 2 ? It didn't do that in phase one and the knives didn't even start attacking, feels like a bug.
Look about 8:20 He gets hit with Tiches blackflame shortly before the Phase 2 start.
That isn't a bug, it's just how much blackflame can ACTUALLY melt HP.
Most of the time of phase 1, they were shooting it but too far to actually hit it. But then? He got it, right to the injured leg weak point. And it lasted long enough to entirely kill phase 2.
@@FFKonoko Yes, but throught the whole first phase he was hit by a multitude of projectiles, none melted his hp this fast.
I know how fast it can melt hp, but everytime it happens, it's because the boss got hit by multiple projectiles that stack the effects. It doesn't just do a jump in effectiveness because of 1 projectile.
Rennala: "THEY'RE JUMPING ON ME, THEY'RE JUMPING ON ME!!!"
Its funny how organised they are. When one backs up another jumps in creating a cicle of DEATH
“The only way Radahn wins this is if the knives all huddle together” *5 seconds later* “Well I’ll be damned”

@@shadowmcfall4788 potato potato same thing
@@anthonytyner2393 exactly because it's the same thing your comment makes no sense, why are you answering rudely he just pointed out something
You should have put the Lichdragon Fortissax and godskin duo. It would look personal for Fortissax since he and Godwyn were friends. I would expect them to lose, but it would be so worth seeing the Nobel roll over the blacknives, and the Apostle used his black flame tornado. Also, the Valiant Gargoyles, the three dragons on the moonlight alter.
Maliketh surprised me. I assumed that he was going to win but not in that landslide victory.
Malenia was obvious that she gets owned first phase and then just nukes them second phase, however that stacked blackflame looked very dangerous at first.
And Radagon was actually close. If he doesnt fight like he did and doesnt kill 8 of them Elden beast might get killed here.
"They had us in the first half, not gonna lie." - Malenia, Blade of Miquella
pulled the same move on rahdan lol
That's said, she didn't use her signature move even once. Though not because she didn't want to - she wasn't able to
It's so funny when they fight Malenia and Radagon and they're all just swarming, and you occasionally see one of them just leap up out of nowhere. It's like a cartoon fight where it's a mess of limbs in a smoke cloud and every so often a head pokes out or someone gets thrown out and jumps back in.
the term you are looking for is a dogpile
True
@@summergamer7650 mmmm
If you think thats hilarious wait till you see what happens when there's 20-50 abyss watchers ganging up on bosses in dark souls 3.
Radahn of course, but the Beast Clergyman was fighting like he had an ancient grudge against the black knives or something. 🙂He hunted each of them down in close quarters even as they slid and jumped all over. Glorious.
Every time I watch your videos, I’m inspired to try new strategies in my own game. Thanks for the ideas!
Welcome dude
Black Knives: "We have weapons that can fell a god!"
Astel: "Lol check out how many AOE explosion attacks I have"
Astel was probably the most legitimate of those fights. Radahn and Malenia easily cheated with the phase 2 transition/rot flower.

I love that a lot of the ones they failed to kill are things that are actively thorns in Ranni's side. Like she really needed you specifically to tackle those threats like Astel and Radahn.
Yep. The ones she can't have assassinated are the ones who weren't assassinated. Pretty consistent with the lore
XD
I dont even think black knife assasins are even associated with ranni anymore. Seemed to be a one job thing cos at the end of her questline there are a bunch of them dead around iji and blaidd implying they were sent to kill them
@@Ospreynaitor652 But who sent them?
@@funnycorner2802 Greater Will most likely
@@Ospreynaitor652 My thoughts on it are that ranni just betrayed them because she got what she wanted. She got us as her suitor for her age of the stars, so iji wasn't really needed anymore and blaidd went mad because he was controlled by the greater will
Can I just say I love seeing the wretched Godrick scream? His pain and humiliation is just music to me.
God, Astel is such a badass boss. Pure cosmic horror, even the music
I like the fact that everyone who could canonically probably win, did win.
Yes it worked out so well! And we all know Soldier of God, Rick, was just being generous. I do think Godfrey and Morgott would've been able to survive lore-wise, given Godfrey's feats and Morgott having defeated pre-rot albeit younger Radahn. Fire Giant was probably on his last legs anyway but not sure about Mohg, I suppose his strength was cunning rather than raw power.
@@hdo4ever Honestly if it wasn't for the fact that mohgs ai locks him into doing the countdown thing no matter what when he hits certain health thresholds he probably would've won. He was doing really well up until then

Great channel, very much enjoy these battles.
Its amazing how many unique combos the bosses have. Tarnished: slash and hack also a special stab maybe some twinkle dust
One minute of silence for Rennala and Malenia (1st phase) who got simply annihilated
Its or the other with her lol.
LOL
Also Gideon who I don't feel bad for if you know his lore.
At least she was able to attack once, Gideon got decimated from the start
Talk about annihilated, sir Gideon didn’t even get a chance to hit
I was assuming Radhan would annhilate everything on his meteor strike, and Malenia would crush on her second phase. Was sad with the Hoarah Loux, almost got it.
And Maliketh... he was probably thinking "never send sheep to kill a wolf".
maliketh didnt fuck around lmao
Makes sense lore wise too. Radahn is the greatest warrior out there, Malenia is the greatest child of a god, Godfrey is the greatest Tarnished and First Elden Lord, Malekith is literally a god (half-brother shadow to Marika, a god), and Radagon is a god (or half god if we assume he’s different than Marika). All of these won whereas the other ones that aren’t as powerful lore wise lost. Even Morgott did quite well and he’s beaten a weaker version of Radahn in the lore
@@YourEmperorStef It's not that Maliketh is a god, he's a being that was purpose-made to serve a god. He doesn't have an inner world besides that singular purpose, he can't be bribed, persuaded or convinced. If his duty necessitates killing someone or something, he'll do it, without questions asked or hesitation.
@@YourEmperorStef neither maliketh or radagon are gods, only marika had direct contact to the greater will. Radagon is marika now but he wasnt always
To be fair though. Malenia only won because they suicided on the bloom.
Placidusax just deleting them all … truly marvellous.
I love the Acknoledgement of Radahns glory here. He aint no wuss demigod
Morgott lost of course but that moment when he was almost down and then exploded and sent them all flying was still really epic. A hail Mary if I've ever seen one.
If those swords fell he could've won, fitting tho he's always one step shy of victory.

Sir Gideon Ofnir after every new video:
"I continue to struggle"
I personally love the Maliketh fight. As soon as it begins, he dashed out to not be surrounded only to go into a beast incantation that hit a bunch of enemies in different directions since the assassins immediately surrounded him again. The movement was phenomenal and the attacks were something out of a movie
It's like he knew exactly how to counter his own weapon which makes it amazing to see.
Truly the greatest warrior amongst the shadows
He will not have death stolen from him again!
He's been waiting to do that for a long time.
He *definitely* enjoyed that revenge.

And then, maliketh's smart and deadly combat was so good that he didn't even have to reveal his true form, it was so cool!!!
Radahn's hp dropped so fast I almost thought they'd one phase him somehow. Then he started his fly up animation and all I could think was "all that for a drop of blood?"
And Godfrey went down like a true warrior. He almost had that last BK
You actually can kill him between phases. Damage overtime effects continue to work during it.
@@dontmisunderstand6041 that makes sense
I’ve one phased him on my last like 5 playthroughs… bleed on twin blades is nuts man.

I love how they all just stood there while Radahn was coming down
Black Knife Assassins: "We've come for your rune of Destined Death, old man."
Malakith: "You dare use my own spells against me, Plotter?"
Maliketh: "You think destined death is your ally? you merely adopted death. I was born in it, molded by it".
He didn't even need the second phase.
GET THE FUCK OUT OF MY CASTLE
Judging by his moves... i think we defeated the gloam eyed queen in the past . His first phase is literally a joke
😂😂
Black Knife Assasins: "We have you ten to one."
Soldier of Godrick,Malenia,Rhadahn: "I like those odds."
Isn't Rhadahn technically a 2v10?

that fight with the soldier of godrick reminded me of the "let him get up, let him get up!" meme 😂
That slow walk towards astel was a cinematic masterpiece
Just want to say the fact that Iji had like 4 of these things dead before you find him dead. Dude must've been pretty strong after seeing these in action against some serious badasses.
Yup - heres the thing. There were 10 black knife assassins - you kill 4 ingame as bosses, 2 more outside the haligtree, find another locked in jail (Tiche) and find Alecto's ashes - those 2 Iji kills are the LAST REMAINING black knife assassins (The ones accounted for, at least.) He IS a chad.
@@panopticpunk Just a quick name correction that doesn’t really matter, Alecto is the one in jail while you find Tiche’s ashes
@@panopticpunk what about the ones blaidd kills
@@BaguetteBob Maybe Alecto and tiche didnt count towards the 10 since they are named, so the ones blaidd kills could make up the deficit (i believe he kills 2 as well, now that you reminded me) - either that, or i misremembered the lore - either way, good call dude!
But iji dies due to blackflame and not red flame, thus he must have survived the encounter with the black knives and then incinerated himself.
Radahn being mindless and nerfed still obliterated them.. The Black Knives thought Morgott was gonna go out sad and then he unleashed his power like a monster,, truly The Omen King.. Placidusax said fuck this and nuked them 💀 Maliketh surprised me, I knew he would win but he didn't even have to go 2nd phase, I guess we know who the true master of Destined Death is.. This was sick Bjorn
yea it was cool to see his Ai hide behind the pillars (even tho it was just chance) but it made it feel like he was very familiar with the limits of destined death and knew he could use the pillars to hide
they changed the radahn nerf back like a month ago friend
@@dingoflowers8594 they reverted some changes but overall he's still a whole lot less powerful than he was at launch
if morgott didn't get poise broken that hammer would have decimated them for sure
@@clankymocha that's false. The only thing that got nerfed was the hitbox size of his attacks. Nothing crazy.
That was cool! Especially Radahn and Soldier of Godrick. That was unexpected 😅
The way they just spring into action is so hype
I saw Radahn's orbital strike coming and he still managed to surpass my expectations
>He just decimated all 10 of them
@@LectroBer
I think annihilated is the better word to use here...
@@rhodes3983 I think you'd be right. Reading how the 10 of them were decimated by the orbital strike did make me laugh though
I like how most of the bosses in the unlikely battles end up being canonically accurate in power. Like Radahn being able to survive Malenia and they both survived, Astel Nuturalborn not being susceptible to blackflame because he's cosmic made it easy for him to beat them, it's all pretty cool if you pay attention to the small details!
Also Maliketh beating them first phase. Payback for the lore
@@BLgunsliger85450 it shows why they didn't fight him.
Godfrey would have survived lore wise I bet.
@@Frencho9for Godfrey, my headcanon is that the two last black blade sacrificed themselves so the black blade leader could finish Hoarah Loux
They were all pretty beat up
@@rafasr0Godfrey can destroy fucking the most powerful version of placidusax with 5 heads. I'm sure, that he can eliminate black khifes

"What's that sound?"

Literally me first time I fought him 😂
“Hey what’s that in the sky?”
Maliketh getting his revenge without even pulling his sword, what a beast.
My top 3 bosses in terms of "salute, you absolute monster" are Radahn, Maliketh, and Malenia. They're all just too cold.
It looked like Maliketh had been spending all his time training for this Night, dude was toe to toe with all 10 of them
I would give Morgott a spot on that list, the old man knows how to throw down
Whats with godfrey??
Malekith is the most powerful being. Other than elden beast
I like Godfrey the most. He respects you. Even in his wild form, he's still a gentleman.
I'd salute astel, too. He took it like a champ
Rick, soldier of god did not disappoint
"Okay fine, I've had enough."
-Rick
A lot of these had cool moments or seemed thematically appropriate. I especially liked Morgott’s phase change flinging back all the assassins that had piled on him, and Malenia’s human form not standing a chance but her rot goddess form absolutely destroying them. I feel like you should do one with the assassins fighting Malekith starting in his 2nd phase, just because I really wanna see that.
Also with radagon murdering most of the assassins with holy light as he slams his hammer down.
It's also lore-friendly that Radahn is the baddest mf out there
if she wasn't in the air by default and had to actually perform the attack she woulda been dead
*Maliketh
They would probably loose, Maliketh is extremely agile and will just jump around them while 2 shotting all of them
And as a general reminder, these were assassins. They couldn't be heard, they couldn't be seen.
It's no wonder Godwyn couldn't take them, he was dead before he even thought to draw a weapon.
And no demigod had ever been killed so he had no idea he even should fear assassins.
@@libertyprime6932 He was a warrior. He knew to be wary of any kind of armed foe.
The problem is, he never even perceived them before he died
@@Melqhii but there was no need for him to even be wary of other foes. until destined death was stolen he literally couldn't die to anyone or anything.
@@Eclipsed_Embers exactly, an assassination under the guise of the perfect premise. If it was a straight up fight, then Godwyn never would have lost even against all of them.
What if he never intended to fight them. What if he was in on Ranni or Marika's plan...
