I guess you can just farm a ton of rot balls and eat them all the time, also finding a lot of golden seeds to have more flasks help. You can just run through the lake this way
@@grumd0 yeah, but farming is arduous in it's own way, and you would necessary have to go through some difficulties to get all the golden seeds. It's still impressive regardless.
You can just keep casting "Flame cleanse me" and turn all of your flasks into mana and get through the lake that way. The incantation gets rid of the build up and the rot infection if you've already gotten it
The fact that you killed Astel at RL1 faster than I did at RL220 makes this even more impressive. My kill was like 4 minutes because I wasn’t aiming for the head lol
Did you grind?? You are nearly 100 levels higher than I was when I beat Malenia... is there that much content? I had already beaten this boss at that time too
@@PraiseChika I tend to be quite underleveled in these games but on my first play through where I was going for a large amount of completion I was level 160 by the end. Saying that I think your supposed to fight this boss at level 100 or so.
There is something so poetic about the first few moments. Just a man in a loincloth running to bonk an actual god in the face with a club. It sounds so futile and yet man with club prevails again over a god. As hilarious as it is awesome.
@@simplyzed8966 It's not that bad until you have to Wrong Warp into Leyndall. Then you choose between accepting Melina and Torrent or just Wrong Warping to Farum Azula. Currently getting my shit rocked by Black Blade Kindred.
I killed that Caelid bell bearing guy last night with the help of your video. I've always been horrible at parry timings, but watching all your content gave me the motivation to try and I got it! I used the Whirlwind parry art of War and it took me about 7-8 tries before I finally did it without even taking a hit and pummeling him down. You're the best Ongbal, seeing you wreck these ultra baddies with just skill just makes me amped to try it myself! (but with much more armor lmao.)
Dude that jumping heavy at 1:20 was almost punished with him chomping on your face. Looks like you recovered just in time to roll. Nice job, I had no idea Astel could be stance broken so easy.
The other astel in the second half of the snow area is much more agressive and summons six of itself to grab you. Took me 2 hours to kill it. Ongbal try that one.
I've been helping people in Concecrated Snowfield with this over the last couple of weeks, and I see the six summon ability probably 5% of the times that I fight him.
Amazingly done as usual. I personally learned a lot from your videos, like how to avoid bosses' attack, when to go for the offense...looking forward for more of your videos!
0:50... and I thought if something can't be evaded by rolling in this game, this is it. Well, shit :D I can't even imagine, how small this timing window is... Your reaction is just beyond human!))
Not to detract from ongbals skill, dudes a god, but this attack can be rolled relatively consistently if you have the timing down well mentally. The hitbox lingers for a very short amount of time, so as long as you can get sort of close just purely off of memory and guessing when it'll go off it's not too bad to roll. I can pull it off about 80% of the time and I'm rather bad and haven't practiced the boss much
@@tubby4742 its actually even easier than that, roll when hes about to raise his hands and roll again when hes gonna slam them. not much timing required
@@tubby4742 when you’re up close, it’s probably hard to watch his hands since they’re sometimes off screen (as this video shows). I found it easier to go by the clicking of his jaw. You can rewatch ongbal’s video as many times as you like to get the timing down on how many clicks of his jaw he does before attacking, which is a bit different on the way up and on the way down. It can easily be felt as a rhythm and is more generous than you think.
Fun fact about these creatures: These are the monsters that brought scarlet rot with them from space thar infected Malenia as a "host", and the ones Radahn was trying to stop from coming to earth by conquering the stars.
Don't know how many tries you needed for this clean run ONGBAL. But I admire you for your tenacity to keep posting them and showing FromSoft that there isn't an enemy or boss that you can't humiliate. Be it Soulsborne or Sekiro
Well i just discover him for the first time, saw pastel was pretty weird and died, then watched your video to understand the patterns, then beat him second try. Thx for the guide !
Literally the most intelligent gamer I’ve ever had the pleasure of watching. if you could make a no death speed run lvl 1 wretch through just main story bosses I’d say your probably the 🐐.
Hey you probably won't see this but I recently beat rykard with shields only. If you plan on beating rykard with a club you can do first phase with just a club. Then you can beat his second phase with carian's retaliation on a shield, you can actually deflect the flaming skulls that fall from the sky in his second phase. With carian's retaliation it parries magic then shoots a glinstone phalanx. I bashed his face in with a shield the whole first phase so you could also do that with a club. You can hit him after his 2-3 bite attack and his lunge bite.
This boss design is so unique. It seems they took some inspiration of the depictions of primordial angels in the bible (BE NOT AFRAID) + the angels from the Ringed City, they same a similar vibe and "Astel" feels like it's an angelic name.
Mild spoiler alert: Really hate the fact that they've reused this boss later on in the game. Lost any kind of significance after that IMO. I have no problems with fighting godskins, crucibles, erdtree sentinels etc. multiple times, but Astel's design gave me the impression that this would be a unique experience, so I was a bit disappointed. Would rather fight a burial tree watchdog gank than have this fight be copied.
Yeah that really surprised me. How does the lore even explain that away? And it's odd the hypothetical "legit" Astel is the easier of the two fights. I understand reuse for a game this large, but if they were going to do it for a Legendary boss fight, I would think the climax quest boss fight would be the more complete one moveset wise.
I'm 99% sure that it's an H.P. Lovecraft reference, in particular "The Mountain of Madness", you have a nearby ruin inhabited by people and creatures that have gone mad (different reason I know, but the status is called Madness you know). Then in this frigid snowy environment located near a mountain you have this man-made cave where you have enemies that teleport in through small singularities and a cosmic being that looks like it was ripped from a Lovecraft story as the boss, I wouldn't be surprised one bit if the name of the tunnel was also a Lovecraft reference. However this fight, and its reuse are bosses that I absolutely despise all because of one attack, the teleporting insta-kill attack that is pure bullshit for being an insta-kill in a series not known for those unless you're doing a low-level run/RL1 or are on the nighter NG+ cycles. Not only that but it's a gamble if you even dodge it, let alone in the second fight with all of the copies.
Bro, i was like 2h in already, i was about to give up and go lvl up a bit, watched exactly 1 minute 30 seconds of your vid and decided to give one last try and i beat the shit out of him, thanks for help
Again, no lock on. I'm going to start learning to do this with the larger bosses and see how much better off it goes when the camera isn't spazzing out trying to follow the movement of whatever twitchy appendage the lockon forces you to follow.
Before I typed in “ aster natural born hitless “ in the search bar , I was like no way ongbal would be doing this boss. But then I saw his video on top I was like “ man this guy is crazy good “.
Oh hey it's Ongbal. Was having trouble with this boss so searched for people taking him down to check the leet tactics. I now realize I need to dodge roll.
Hey Ongbal I was thinking of your ds3 video « it’s hammer time » which is by far one of my favorite ! I was wondering if you had any ideas of doing something similar with elden ring ? One of your beloved subscribers
After you finish this series, it would be great to see you as lvl 120 ish. And do these bosses again without getting any hit. So we mortals could see how should it go without 13 flask. 😄
Amazing fight 🙂. I wanted to ask you if you have ever tried Nioh 2? I am pretty sure you would enjoy the game and I can't imagine all the tricks and combos you would be able to pull out 🙂. Take care of yourself and all the best for you. Kind regards from Switzerland. 🙂

This man breaks every elden ring boss posture more than I could even break one
Gotta go for the head
you should've gone for the head
He ran straight at that thing and just bonked it on the dome. Legend
The most amazing thing about this is the fact you ran through the lake of rot area at RL1 truly more impressive imo hahaha
I guess you can just farm a ton of rot balls and eat them all the time, also finding a lot of golden seeds to have more flasks help. You can just run through the lake this way
@@grumd0 or just put rot resist gear on and bloodhound step through the platforms
You can always ask for bodyguards though

It's a dragonfly. You get crafting items from it.
it's so simple but I can't get over how great the part in his theme music when the notes start to rise feels
amazing how calm you are in every boss fight.. that gravity attack, i usually panic rolling on that lol
At least you get time to run away from it
I was literally just struggling against this on my RL1 Horseless guy. Your timings on dodging the Gravity Well are insane.

Omg Ongbal! This is the boss which made me take a break from RL1 run. You give me motivation to do it!
Can't wait for the no hit run all bosses level 1 from you
The 2 Astels and the malformed stars all make the iconic Dark Souls parry sound effect when you stance break them
Been a fan since your No Hesitation Sekiro vid. Incredible. Love watching you manhandle my worst nightmares hahaha

astel probably sounds that way to you because of the hebrew suffix "-el": GabriEL, DaniEL, MichaEL, which roughly translates as "of god/god's".
@@ddublu I mean Astel sounds like Castiel from Supernatural TV series who's an Angel, and also Astel sounds like Azrael who's the Angel of Death.
Thank you brother I needed this, I didn’t know if it was possible to dodge the gravity slam.

This helped me beat him. Staying up close and personal just whacking at his head is the way to go.
Dang dude. You really are the GOAT
Astel seems difficult at first but then you realize you can smack his big bug eye
I ran into this guy yesterday and all I could think of was 'why is this planetarium so mad at me?'
this actually helped me a lot. thx
impressive as ever :)
nicely done bro. meanwhile i kinda abuse the carian retaliation on this boss but was still a blast fighting him to proceed to ranni's quest.
Bruh the positioning is insane
This man is build different
I'm mindblowned... Not only did you beat Astel at RL1 but you are the first Elden Lord who beats bosses naked with a club. Very nice LOL
Astel, Naturalborn of the Void versus caveman
At this point I just click like before I even watch the video. Spectacular job!
When your a badass boss that controls the very fabric of the universe itself, only to be defeated by a naked man with a wooden club!
🤣🤣
Virgin Cosmic Lovecraftian Horror VS Chad Unga Bunga
imagine shoting a laser with speed of light and someone just rolling over it
Have been waiting for this
This thing is horrifying. Astel is also creepy.
after watching your videos many times since sekiro, I finally beat the same boss no damage low level, have to say astel is a melee user friendly boss
I just did this yeterday at SL 52 as a int build just to get the moonlight blade early, hardest thing i’ve done in fromsoft games to this day 😅
