@@gamefan3300 I've noticed when Asmon played based game he used something super strong, just not what was considered the strongest in rivers of blood or moonveil or something. Almost like it was calculated so he could say he wasn't using meta.
@@TheJols Yeah, he is still using OP shit, like most people playing this, that then resort to saying they "are good at it now" and that it isn't that hard.
First people were upset because Asmon didn't adapt his strategy and found the game too hard and now people are mad that he changed his strategy enough to trivialize the game. I guess some people just love to piss and moan.
@@mielipuolisiili7240 how am I trivializing the game what lol, learn what that word means before you use it. he himself recognized he used a broken build so how’s he gonna call phase one a joke. the anti “get good” crowd is in shambles
@@zachmartin6058 I don't understand the problem you're having. If he's using a build good enough to make the boss a joke then of course it's going to be a joke. The game is what you make it and is designed for anyone's interpretation and personal experience. Hell, Miyazaki has made that a strong point in elden ring's purpose as a game whenever he's asked questions about it. It's quite literally designed to be a different game for everybody who plays it depending on what they do.
@@Jojoshibou 1. He used a macro to get to this point. If it weren't for this outside source that played the game for him, he would've not spent hours upon hours grinding for runes to get this strong. 2. Apart from shield builds the DLC is still hard regardless. He even died numerous times to both messmer and bayle with his cheese build
Asmon is cool and no hate but he complained and said that the dlc was too hard then goes around blocking and poking at lvl 350+ for a free W but also tells ppl using summons is cheese and flips from basically crying to saying the dlc is a 10. Really hard to understand his points of view.
My position has changed on Elden Ring more than any other game that i know throughout the game. Ive gone from this game is a 10/10 to this game sucks 5/10 at bbest to i am having fun its 8/10 to its back to 10/10 that was so freaking cool then this is stupid where do i go next screw this game ....I feel like Elden Ring does some things so freaking well and then there are so many frustrating things about the game as well. My favorite from software game is Sekiro and its not even close.
Shield build is so cheesy lol. My friend first tried the boss with ease, then there was me failing to do it with like 50+ trys. He also did malenia in like 4 trys, like it was no sweat.
I saw this meme on a elden ring subreddit where the left person is saying the game sucks and after they finish the game, they immediately change their mind and say its a masterpiece.

Now dsp doing that style cheesy build to make the game to speed runner finish the game so quick I don’t wanna spend 40 to 50 hours on a DLC. seriously gamers treat every game like these style games like it’s a competitive game they don’t want to take their time on these games Hidetaka Miyazaki may this to be the biggest expansion he’s ever made and he wants people to take their time and learn but gamers these days don’t have patience and I don’t call people like that real gamers if you’re gonna play like that real game is take the time and try and beat it with patience too many fake gamer to day
The point is you can make it as hard or as easy as you want it to be. They give you all of the tools to do so. There is no point in complaining about the difficulty.
I always say this. Especially in Elden Ring there are plenty of tools to make the game significantly easier. It's just up to you to use your brain and find them.
In previous Souls games bosses were obviously designed so the average player could beat them with a stick and some i-frames. That mentality doesn't carry over to ER. It's easy to forget but ER is a new IP.
There’s a huge difference between looking where items are for you’re own build, than looking up an entire build, and every item in it, that 100k other people are also using.
normally wouldn't have a problem with this but the hypocrisy here is gigantic, he is very elitist, thinks summons are cheese but this build is not?, and not even counting he had to farm 64 million runes? lmao the guy had a mental breakdown the first two days playing the DLC saying he doesn't even enjoy these type of games and banned everyone talking about it
Yea I came to hate-watch & laugh and the first thing I hear is "why isn't he letting me hit him!?!?" Idk dude maybe he wants to live & survive & shit. You make a strong argument but I think I'd prefer to live.
Wait so on his previous play through a week ago the bosses were exposing his jump build and Asmon complaining like a 10 year old saying the bosses were too hard, wasn't even using a great rune and not even trying to understand how to fight bosses. Now fast forward he changes his build to a Shield poke build and says this is the best DLC he's ever played. Quite astonishing lol.
I mean I don’t blame him it’s pretty stupid that they almost completely removed jumping builds because of how endless boss combos are and how quickly they recover from staggers. I personally beat the base game with dual guts swords and even through all of the dlc now I’m sitting at Radahn and literally can’t attack without trading let alone touch him second phase because of the extra holy attacks at the end of his combo strings. I’m trying my best to not pussy out and switch to shield cheese but that fight is pure shit
@@ballsackman7796 Yeah for sure, Radahn is very challenging I understand that, I got my ass handed to me a lot but he is beatable. Plenty of tarnished are beating him and there are already vids of no hit runs on him. I personally beat him with 2h nagakiba. The bosses in the dlc are more aggressive so it can take more practice and getting used to attack windows which is testing patience of gamers. Watching Asmon play the DLC I just smh sometimes because he makes it harder on himself a lot of the times. Unfortunately, purely jump attacking everything is not a method for success and also not learning how to utilize dodge will also make things tougher which is what happened to Asmon before he switched builds.
It's a bad solution tho. I also switched everything up Radahn and it bugged me. It's an RPG, it's supposed to be balanced so that any build is viable but anything except Spear/Shield combo just gets unfairly punished. You can't get a colossal weapon build to have fun on it because he attacks so frequently. It's bad design. Every build should allow for the same level of enjoyment
@@reesespieces8173 what RPG’s have you ever played? There’s always builds more broken than others and bosses are built around strengths and weaknesses. If a boss is immune to hemorrhage, your katana build isn’t going to work anymore and you’d be better switching it up, but no one is stopping you from throwing yourself at a wall, just don’t get it twisted as to think that’s the devs problem that you’re stubborn
Pretty sure kai cenat beat radahn with a very slow heavy weapon while only using charged heavy attacks. Everything is possible if u try hard enough@@reesespieces8173
@Speedofile this game is about freedom, do whatever you want, but if you refuse to use a weapon or add elemental damage that will greatly benefit you, you can’t really blame the devs for making it “too hard” when all the tools are there to get the job done.
@@thisguy2973my brother in christ he literally cheated himself runes And complained about other peoples builds that were less cheasy and called them bad for using them
i killed radahn yesterday in such a cool way, he was one hit and inflicted with rot. miquella grabbed me a second time and died to rot right before i died in prayer pose, got the gesture and died right after radahn and it counted
Reject failure, accept mediocrity, embrace cheese Pro tip: you can infuse the finger shield with other elements to reach 100% block in those elements at the cost of taking minimal physical damage. VERY worth it
Elden Ring was made to be cheesed. A lot of the problems people have with ER is trying to play it like previous games. In older Souls games bosses were balanced assuming players were going to use and a sword and dodge roll. In ER it's pretty clear they assume players are using spells and stuff they find in the environment as a baseline. Playing ER like it's Dark Souls should be considered a challenge run.
@@sd5919 This is exact reason why i kinda disliked my first playthrough, I played it too much like a dark souls. Now I play much more freely, using all the different tools they give you and it is so much more fun.
You should never infuse fingerprint with anything elemental - it's best kept at standard for the guard boost; the literal reason to use this shield. Unless you use it to attack that is.
@@MrRafagigapr Gael still clears. Consort Radahn tries too hard to be cool. The second phase is just eye-cancer vs being cool. It's not even that hard if you play like Asmon, I play this way too. It's boring but it's too annoying and aggressive to play other ways. Not saying it's not possible to go shieldless but the game punishes you unnecessarily hard for not poking the boss from behind a shield the whole fight. I beat it after probably a dozen tries, granted I have like 11 Scadutree Fragments. Couldnt naturally find any more before the final boss so I just fought him with Fingerprint Shield and Blood Pike. Any other playstyle in phase 2 seemed impossible or just too punishing. The shield/spear combo is also boring but so much easier than not doing that that I feel compelled to use it for my sanity. Gael lets you play anyway you want because he has a lot of downtime and large openings. Radahn is just too sweaty to be enjoyable
Well moghs spear is a weapon you are pretty much forced to be able to get(need to beat mogh) and you can beat everything with it quite easaly so yeah people who have a problem with difficutly because they essantialy try to do a Challenge run, but than complain about it being to hard are bad, the game gives you countless stuff to make most stuff trivial, if someone doesnt want to use that its fine,yet complaining about the difficutly that they picked is kinda stupid.

This is by far his worst play through because he hype the dlc and the base game yet immediately folded and called the game bad until he found a cheese build
Asmon actually sacrified himself to help gamers who use summons. Now whenever I watch some streamer using summons on their playthrough, I think "this is nowhere near as boringly easy as asmon's shield + 300 lvls run, props to them"

Godwyn was hit by destined death, you don't take destined death and then resurrect. The best hope for a Godwyn fight would be against some sort of posessed Godwyn zombie abomination, but it would not be Godwyn. The reverse Radahn situation, Radahn has his soul but not his body, well, considering Radahn rejected Miquella and is now his consort, something was lost or altered when Miquella got a hold of his soul.
I think the reason a lot of people would have assumed it would involve godwyn is because no one knew what the land of shadow would be. Miquella was thought to be dead but was a part of the dlc so maybe it would have been some sort of godly afterlife? It also felt like itd make more sense to involve two of the most mysterious children from the base game and that stuff was said in the base game that Miquella looked up to godwyn and loved him. It felt like a missed chance
@@GentlemanMudkip If the land of shadow was the afterlife and Godwyn was there, then so would every single named character from the base game. I don't get the ones who disliked it being Radahn, what we got was his husk in the base game. I'm positive that if we got to fight prime Gwyn as a final boss in a dark souls dlc, people would not have been pissed about it. My headcanon? Malenia simps are malding and seething, the lore implications now being that she was sent to suicide bomb Radahn but could not even do that.
One of the two plans of Miquella was to make the Eclipse happen, resurrecting Godwyn's soul. The Death Knights in the DLC served him. That's why everybody was hoping to see him because not only was there a lot of lore buildup for it but Miquella seemed to have the powers to actually bring the Eclipse now and cure the lands from deathblight. (There's a scene at the end of the first trailer where Miquella "purifies" the Scadutree or smt like that which is now cut content for some reason.)
@BenefitCounterbench I like the way FromSoft took the story is because it shows Miquella’s demigod curse was failure. He failed to bring back Godwyn with the eclipse, he failed with the Haligtree, he failed to have Malenia defeat Radahn, and he failed with his final consort plan. Quite an interesting curse for “the most fearsome empyrean”
It's called post boss clarity, when you're fighting a boss it's the Pinnacle of bad game design, when you beat the boss it's another masterpiece from fromsoft. That's how these games work
@@Monkeylighthouse nah, there are bosses where i got my shit rocked and it was still fun asf and i had 0 frustrations and messmer is one of them. hes the most fair bossfight in the entire game

Not really, everyone is free to ruin their one and only first experience of a good game the way they want to.

@@jador9641that’s just simply not true. I use the deflecting hard tear to fight Radahn like a sekiro boss and posture broke him to death with guard counters and a giant hammer. I did it on ng+2

He even struggle when fight Radahn with level 333 in the first playthrough, when Radahn have the lowest stance and easiest to break. For those who will defend for him like " DLC mechanic", the stance scale and break dmg reduction still effect boss in DLC, and he totally overlevel for those fight. What a hypocrite!
You complained for hours about how difficult the bosses are in the DLC. Now, the game is great and the bosses were fine. If you didn't find a build that made the bosses much easier, you would have hated the game.

Doesn't even require any skill, I still haven't beaten Consort, but I will leave him unbeaten rather than try this stupid ass build.
You really think he would even consider apologising with an ego this massive? He literally permabanned people, no matter how long they have been a fan, purely because they tried to help him or give advise.
I played same as Kai (dodging, no summons) and it’s not the same game at all. Kai showed actual fortitude and was so elated. Asmon looked like he just wiped his ass and went on about his day.
I'm not even mad he used that op as fuck build. Not even that he used cheats to give himself 65 million runes. Rather im annoyed that he is the same guy that says basic game mechanics are cheese. He clowns on people using things like summons and here he is sitting with his op build that he 100% got of the internet while being over level 300+ with max scadu blessing and one of the most op weapons in the game.
I want to see him beat the game as a sorcerer with summons. Just to see him eat his own sh1t and then use cheat engine to add a trillion runes to compensate for no skill.
This shield and spear build has got to be the least skillfull build in the game and he really is talking about other people using summons and one-handed weapons as cheating.😂😂

Im sure people said this already but just in case, the reason Godwyn couldnt be the last boss is because of how they wrote the lore. To use the gate of divinity to become a god you must also have the soul of a lord and a vessel for the lord. Ranni intentionally killed Godwyn in such a way that his soul itself would die as part of the process to free herself from her body. And as we see in the game even if they'd used godwyns body as the vessel radahns soul basically overwrites it anyway with only traces of the old form remaining. The best we couldve gotten was maybe a blonde radahn(which we kind of got anyway with miquella on his back looking like a golden mane) who uses death flames instead of bloodflame.
@@None38389the amusing thing about it is his hypocrisy. He’s talked so much shit about how other people play, and then goes on to use the most cheese build possible.

Feel sorry for this guy. No satisfaction beating the game this way. Struggling with a mimic tear would have been better than this. He criticized summon users but then came up with a much cheaper strategy. The hypocrisy 🤷♂️
Theres a shield talisman that increases non physical damage negation + curved sword talisman that enhances guard counters. This build is nice and it's not even fully utilized yet lmao
I just do not understand these people. I was totally fine with his heavy shield/tank build on the last stream. It was actually an inventive idea. I would never think to consider a fat-roll build... Fair play. But to farm 60 million runes in order to grow to level 333, how are you supposed to feel any sense of reward or achievement after that? Why is it okay to mod the game for 60 million runes, but summoning an NPC is pitiful. Is he trolling us intentionally perhaps?
"Magic is cheesy, summon is cheesy, incants are cheesy", my dude, you literally cheated 64 million runes in the game. You aren't allowed to say anything about "cheese" ever again.
No…that is not how it works. I mean, even just look at Asmon. It was hard because he was trying to spam jump attacks and he never adapted, he didn’t use several game mechanics. You’ve always been able to cheese everything as well. No one is swapping “en masse”. If you are having such trouble with the first few bosses of the dlc maybe it’s just not a genre you prefer because you don’t find it fun. Or if you like it but it’s too hard just use mimic.
Not true. For the less able, that is the optimal build. The gradation is: full evasion, parry, brute force, artillery, tanking with shield and summons. You choose the level of difficulty.
@@makaronininijust because that can be done isn’t a good argument. I actually liked the difficulty, but a lot of people don’t want to spend that much time getting good at the game.
All in all it's just another brick in the wall...level 350 with a Havel Shield Poke build for the win lmfao. I did it my first playthrough in 15 attempts using Freya's Greatsword with Lion's Claw Ash of War set to Magic Affinity, no shield, level 185 and no buffs other than Physick Flask(Oppaline Hardtear and Magic Shrouding Cracked Tear). It was a Strength/Intelligence Gravity build
This is why Sekiro is the best FromSoft game, because you can't do this shit. Absolute shameful cheese play, heaviest possible armor, just hold L1 and learn zero attack patterns. Even miss the dodge on every grab. Dunkey was right.
Yeah this shit is so shameless. I’m pretty sure like 90% of elden ring players beat the final boss this way instead of just learning his attack patterns
you can absolute cheese sekiro. Fire cracker / fistful of ash, mortal blade tons of consumables to reset the resurect meter. Like lady butter fly absolute gets destroyed by dodge right - hit, dodge right hit.
@@lukas5352 I played a sorcerer with some faith too and a mimic tear. I brought Heal From Afar and a hefty scarlet rot pot Learning attack patterns wasn't enough, I would dodge his every move but he's so tireless that I'd simply run out of stamina and get punished for it.
So using a summons is cheating? Tell Miyazaki that. When he plays, he uses summons. Imagine thinking they created all that stuff for people to use in the game only to have ignorant yahoos say it's cheating to use them. By this "logic" the Fingerprint Shield is cheating. So is using weapons. Or, leveling up. And now using one-handed weapons is cheating too. Please tell me he's being sarcastic.
I agree we should be able to use all the tools the game provides to overcome the challenge, especially for single player title. I'm using summons and 'cheesy' builds myself, but I'm still trying to meet the game in the middle - using summons more as get out of jail free card or a last resort once I have spend time on the boss but still lack damage or health to pull it off. I just think we should not hurry so hard to be angry at people trying to play the game straight and solo. I had my house mate get angry at me because I said I don't want to use summons on this or the other boss and I want to learn his mechanics and he got so mad at me, that I'm calling him bad, I'm elitist and toxic gamer because his default is just using summons so he feels threatened by my refusal do to so, even if I eventually used them to win instantly after being tired of dying for so long. The guy didn't speak to me for a week over how I chose to play Elden Ring, so while people who call using them cheating are wrong, so are those who say that not using them is elitist and inherently toxic.
In my case i dont usually summon because I like the self imposed challenge of doing it on my own. And to be honest, I use a darkmoon greatsword build that trivializes the game for the most part, yet makes it super fun in the dlc. But when I got to the final boss I was truly desperate and I tried everything I could without the necessity of changing my build because I really liked my build and it really worked for the whole game, so changing it because a single boss felt bad design and I was super against it. So I summoned a player, "rose" was its name, and they were willing to help me by tanking the boss like a chad while I inflicted frostbite and massive damage to the boss with the moonlight. And THAT was my first time ever summoning a player. I prefer having this beautiful memory of jolly cooperation that made me now want to summon players and let myself be summoned than winning that boss that felt cheap and bs compared to 95% of the dlc and just having the memory of hating it and being one of the worst bosses fromsoft ever made (he still is) specially considering twin princes exist which is the same but 100 better. So yeah, never feel ashamed of summoning folks. If miyazaki and the team added it, it's for a reason. I never summoned before and look at me now, a veteran player with tons of experience discovering this new perspective of these games. You can do it too , and as solaire once said, praise the sun in jolly cooperation ❤
I did no summons run only when I got good enough at the game that bosses became trivial, to give myself more of a challenge. He's not sarcastic, he's a massive hypocrite, consistently one, and a huge simp army behind him.
Funny that he didn't seem to enjoy the DLC until he was level 300+ cheesing every boss with full tank shield build. Then suddenly it was the best dlc ever made.....ok dude
Love asmond but he definitely deserves to have his Elden lord status revoked. bro is standing there holding block with a dumb broke tank build but still says that summons are cheesing the game, and of coarse he changed his mind about the dlc difficulty right after he swapped builds as if it just clicked with him or something
reminds me of beating midra on the third attempt thinking that I was tricked by fromsoft and missed the real boss of the side dungeon. I wasn't even using a shield build, I just used the backhand blade and used Blind Spot instead of dodging the easily telegraphed attacks
I don’t understand. People who say mage builds are cringe and is just “cheesing” are just fools who bash the game all day and don’t recognise that Mage options exist for people who like playing in a defensive play style. But then when they decide that they will make a build that can cheese the game it’s okay and it’s not cringe? Hypocrisy at its core.
Its like, they hate themselfs and dont allow for fun ways to play the game and then hate the game for not being fun and not having enough viable options. I think a part of the souls community has a big IQ problem. Maybe those "Bonk" Archetypes are more real than we think
Lol, true, except it's a reversal. In Monster Hunter, blocking is underpowered and I-frames are the superior method. Elden Ring made blocking OP and i-frames the more difficult playstyle.

This is so anticlimactic compared to my win in which I was literally saved by my message being upvoted which allowed me to take a fatal hit that would've killed me and allowed me to land my last hit on the boss.
01:19:21 "I don't use summon ... because it's cheating". I disagree, not only is it not cheating, it's an available mechanic in the game. If that is cheating, then you summoned Igon in battle with Bayle and then cheated! IIRC we don't have to summon Igon for his quest. I'd totally agree summons simplify and trivialise encounters and reduce a level of the whole challenge, but everyone wants to experience the game in their own way. Frankly, using heavy armour, a shield, and a colossal weapon for a stagger also trivialises and simplify encounters, exactly the reason why you have decided on that! Is it cheating, not at all, these are available mechanics in the game and your choice to experience the game!
Skipped forward to his Radhan fight, was amazed of his damage and bars, went back to look at his stats thinking hey maybe I can try that build I also love mohgs spear, seeing he's level 333 ._.
I find it poetic beating miquella and Radahn with Mohg’s spear. Sweet vengeance.

@@TheJols Yeah, he is still using OP shit, like most people playing this, that then resort to saying they "are good at it now" and that it isn't that hard.

Hell, Miyazaki has made that a strong point in elden ring's purpose as a game whenever he's asked questions about it. It's quite literally designed to be a different game for everybody who plays it depending on what they do.

If it weren't for this outside source that played the game for him, he would've not spent hours upon hours grinding for runes to get this strong. 2. Apart from shield builds the DLC is still hard regardless. He even died numerous times to both messmer and bayle with his cheese build
Asmon is cool and no hate but he complained and said that the dlc was too hard then goes around blocking and poking at lvl 350+ for a free W but also tells ppl using summons is cheese and flips from basically crying to saying the dlc is a 10. Really hard to understand his points of view.

The point is you can make it as hard or as easy as you want it to be. They give you all of the tools to do so. There is no point in complaining about the difficulty.
I always say this. Especially in Elden Ring there are plenty of tools to make the game significantly easier. It's just up to you to use your brain and find them.
Can someone pin this?
Especially when you can adapt the difficulty in multiple ways (Level, Build power, Summons, etc...)
Yuppppp. Literally peoples own ego preventing them from using something "broken"
In previous Souls games bosses were obviously designed so the average player could beat them with a stick and some i-frames. That mentality doesn't carry over to ER. It's easy to forget but ER is a new IP.

Now fast forward he changes his build to a Shield poke build and says this is the best DLC he's ever played. Quite astonishing lol.

I mean I don’t blame him it’s pretty stupid that they almost completely removed jumping builds because of how endless boss combos are and how quickly they recover from staggers. I personally beat the base game with dual guts swords and even through all of the dlc now I’m sitting at Radahn and literally can’t attack without trading let alone touch him second phase because of the extra holy attacks at the end of his combo strings. I’m trying my best to not pussy out and switch to shield cheese but that fight is pure shit
@@ballsackman7796 Yeah for sure, Radahn is very challenging I understand that, I got my ass handed to me a lot but he is beatable. Plenty of tarnished are beating him and there are already vids of no hit runs on him. I personally beat him with 2h nagakiba. The bosses in the dlc are more aggressive so it can take more practice and getting used to attack windows which is testing patience of gamers. Watching Asmon play the DLC I just smh sometimes because he makes it harder on himself a lot of the times. Unfortunately, purely jump attacking everything is not a method for success and also not learning how to utilize dodge will also make things tougher which is what happened to Asmon before he switched builds.
The best achievement of Elden Ring's DLC was exposing your hypocrisy and superiority complex

You needed him to play this game to figure that out?
@@Tecolote41 to confirm it
“I just had to change my build” is usually the easiest solution to your boss problem.
It's a bad solution tho. I also switched everything up Radahn and it bugged me. It's an RPG, it's supposed to be balanced so that any build is viable but anything except Spear/Shield combo just gets unfairly punished. You can't get a colossal weapon build to have fun on it because he attacks so frequently. It's bad design. Every build should allow for the same level of enjoyment
@@reesespieces8173 what RPG’s have you ever played? There’s always builds more broken than others and bosses are built around strengths and weaknesses.

Reject failure, accept mediocrity, embrace cheese
Pro tip: you can infuse the finger shield with other elements to reach 100% block in those elements at the cost of taking minimal physical damage.
VERY worth it
Nah it only goes to 97%
Elden Ring was made to be cheesed. A lot of the problems people have with ER is trying to play it like previous games. In older Souls games bosses were balanced assuming players were going to use and a sword and dodge roll. In ER it's pretty clear they assume players are using spells and stuff they find in the environment as a baseline. Playing ER like it's Dark Souls should be considered a challenge run.
@@sd5919 This is exact reason why i kinda disliked my first playthrough, I played it too much like a dark souls. Now I play much more freely, using all the different tools they give you and it is so much more fun.
You should never infuse fingerprint with anything elemental - it's best kept at standard for the guard boost; the literal reason to use this shield. Unless you use it to attack that is.
Don’t forget, the finger shield blocks 100% piercing damage

It's boring but it's too annoying and aggressive to play other ways. Not saying it's not possible to go shieldless but the game punishes you unnecessarily hard for not poking the boss from behind a shield the whole fight. I beat it after probably a dozen tries, granted I have like 11 Scadutree Fragments. Couldnt naturally find any more before the final boss so I just fought him with Fingerprint Shield and Blood Pike. Any other playstyle in phase 2 seemed impossible or just too punishing. The shield/spear combo is also boring but so much easier than not doing that that I feel compelled to use it for my sanity.

Godwyn was hit by destined death, you don't take destined death and then resurrect. The best hope for a Godwyn fight would be against some sort of posessed Godwyn zombie abomination, but it would not be Godwyn. The reverse Radahn situation, Radahn has his soul but not his body, well, considering Radahn rejected Miquella and is now his consort, something was lost or altered when Miquella got a hold of his soul.
I think the reason a lot of people would have assumed it would involve godwyn is because no one knew what the land of shadow would be. Miquella was thought to be dead but was a part of the dlc so maybe it would have been some sort of godly afterlife? It also felt like itd make more sense to involve two of the most mysterious children from the base game and that stuff was said in the base game that Miquella looked up to godwyn and loved him. It felt like a missed chance
@@GentlemanMudkip If the land of shadow was the afterlife and Godwyn was there, then so would every single named character from the base game. I don't get the ones who disliked it being Radahn, what we got was his husk in the base game. I'm positive that if we got to fight prime Gwyn as a final boss in a dark souls dlc, people would not have been pissed about it.
My headcanon? Malenia simps are malding and seething, the lore implications now being that she was sent to suicide bomb Radahn but could not even do that.
One of the two plans of Miquella was to make the Eclipse happen, resurrecting Godwyn's soul. The Death Knights in the DLC served him. That's why everybody was hoping to see him because not only was there a lot of lore buildup for it but Miquella seemed to have the powers to actually bring the Eclipse now and cure the lands from deathblight.
(There's a scene at the end of the first trailer where Miquella "purifies" the Scadutree or smt like that which is now cut content for some reason.)
If I use maliketh’s greatsword then theoretically I’m killing all these bosses with destined death and they are dying for real.
@BenefitCounterbench
I like the way FromSoft took the story is because it shows Miquella’s demigod curse was failure. He failed to bring back Godwyn with the eclipse, he failed with the Haligtree, he failed to have Malenia defeat Radahn, and he failed with his final consort plan. Quite an interesting curse for “the most fearsome empyrean”

Facts
Bro I was watching Afros vid earlier today 😂😂😂😂
I played my entire playthrough with Bloodhound Fang, even took it to Consort, with dual wield and occassionaly changing to double Great Stars or hammer (for like General) -- was super anti-climatic to see him playing with a shield poke build. Doesn't even require any skill, I still haven't beaten Consort, but I will leave him unbeaten rather than try this stupid ass build.
3:52:20 thoughts on the DLC.
Watching Asmon play Elden Ring is like watching old people screw: Slow and sloppy.
Based Carlin joke
He needs to at least make a formal apology for his previous statement after doing this crap. The hypocrisy is crazy here.
You really think he would even consider apologising with an ego this massive?
He literally permabanned people, no matter how long they have been a fan, purely because they tried to help him or give advise.
Kai was not using a shield and had to dodge so you can’t compare the two
I played same as Kai (dodging, no summons) and it’s not the same game at all. Kai showed actual fortitude and was so elated. Asmon looked like he just wiped his ass and went on about his day.
@Speedofile
Asmon really thinks that he can make it seem like he isn't using the most journalist lvl build in the game😂
@Speedofile it require timing precision and position, all irrellevant when using this shield build
dodge/roll souls is cringe
Sheldon Ring DLC 10/10
lmfao.
BAZINGA
I'm not even mad he used that op as fuck build. Not even that he used cheats to give himself 65 million runes. Rather im annoyed that he is the same guy that says basic game mechanics are cheese. He clowns on people using things like summons and here he is sitting with his op build that he 100% got of the internet while being over level 300+ with max scadu blessing and one of the most op weapons in the game.
I want to see him beat the game as a sorcerer with summons. Just to see him eat his own sh1t and then use cheat engine to add a trillion runes to compensate for no skill.
no cap this build is still more skill than summons lmaoo
This shield and spear build has got to be the least skillfull build in the game and he really is talking about other people using summons and one-handed weapons as cheating.😂😂
Yeah, and arguable even at max Ashes, using summons is literally significantly harder. Since your summon dies soo quickly and can't even deal over 5k of damage lol.
How cheese works tierrlist.
1. Heavy Shield build.
2. Heavy Giant Hammer stagger build Lion Spam.
3. Turkey Leg build.
4. Perfumer rolling sparks build.
That's the current tier list rn. on how cheesies you can be to ez kill the final boss.
@@marclenraymagdaraog691 there are summons that can literally solo every single boss in the game, they are right behind the poke&shield builds in terms of cheesiness
@@VuhduhlolBase game only. Summons in dlc last much shorter. Why do you think are all the summoners crying? Because summons are not as op in the dlc as they were in the base game and they actually have to learn the game mechanics now.

@@marclenraymagdaraog691 LOL, no
Im sure people said this already but just in case, the reason Godwyn couldnt be the last boss is because of how they wrote the lore. To use the gate of divinity to become a god you must also have the soul of a lord and a vessel for the lord. Ranni intentionally killed Godwyn in such a way that his soul itself would die as part of the process to free herself from her body. And as we see in the game even if they'd used godwyns body as the vessel radahns soul basically overwrites it anyway with only traces of the old form remaining. The best we couldve gotten was maybe a blonde radahn(which we kind of got anyway with miquella on his back looking like a golden mane) who uses death flames instead of bloodflame.
crying that the dlc is too hard and then playing fingerprint shiel and mogh staff exactly my sense of humor.
If hard mode is too hard you reduce the difficulty, simple logic. I don't see what's so amusing about it.
@@None38389the amusing thing about it is his hypocrisy. He’s talked so much shit about how other people play, and then goes on to use the most cheese build possible.

Asmon with that that IGN build
I used the Scholar Shield spell to buff the Fingerprint Shield for extra damage negation. It helped out..A LOT. 😊
Feel sorry for this guy. No satisfaction beating the game this way. Struggling with a mimic tear would have been better than this. He criticized summon users but then came up with a much cheaper strategy. The hypocrisy 🤷♂️

Is he really turtling behind a Fingerprint shield? WOW 😂
i hope this DLC make him a bit more less stubborn lol, it pain to watch sometime to watch him struggle.
I just do not understand these people. I was totally fine with his heavy shield/tank build on the last stream. It was actually an inventive idea. I would never think to consider a fat-roll build... Fair play. But to farm 60 million runes in order to grow to level 333, how are you supposed to feel any sense of reward or achievement after that? Why is it okay to mod the game for 60 million runes, but summoning an NPC is pitiful. Is he trolling us intentionally perhaps?
shut up 😂
"Magic is cheesy, summon is cheesy, incants are cheesy", my dude, you literally cheated 64 million runes in the game. You aren't allowed to say anything about "cheese" ever again.
Don't forget about 1 handed weapons.
My dude using a shield that's the most chessy thing
what does he have to say about the story when he knows nothing about it, Radahn as last boss make perfect sense if you follow STORY
"See it's not actually that hard"
When people are having to swap to full tank shield poke builds en masse something has seriously gone wrong
Or gone right. Think about it.
The final boss can be beaten without taking damage, so you're wrong
No…that is not how it works. I mean, even just look at Asmon. It was hard because he was trying to spam jump attacks and he never adapted, he didn’t use several game mechanics. You’ve always been able to cheese everything as well.
No one is swapping “en masse”. If you are having such trouble with the first few bosses of the dlc maybe it’s just not a genre you prefer because you don’t find it fun. Or if you like it but it’s too hard just use mimic.
Not true. For the less able, that is the optimal build. The gradation is: full evasion, parry, brute force, artillery, tanking with shield and summons. You choose the level of difficulty.
@@makaronininijust because that can be done isn’t a good argument. I actually liked the difficulty, but a lot of people don’t want to spend that much time getting good at the game.
All in all it's just another brick in the wall...level 350 with a Havel Shield Poke build for the win lmfao. I did it my first playthrough in 15 attempts using Freya's Greatsword with Lion's Claw Ash of War set to Magic Affinity, no shield, level 185 and no buffs other than Physick Flask(Oppaline Hardtear and Magic Shrouding Cracked Tear). It was a Strength/Intelligence Gravity build
you've heard of panic rolling, try new panic blocking!
When in panic, just hold L1 forever and cry about taking 1% HP dmg from otherwise fatal moves.
How did homie casually have enough runes to go 78 lvls lmao
Its called WeMod he added in souls lol cheating
This is why Sekiro is the best FromSoft game, because you can't do this shit. Absolute shameful cheese play, heaviest possible armor, just hold L1 and learn zero attack patterns. Even miss the dodge on every grab. Dunkey was right.
Yeah this shit is so shameless. I’m pretty sure like 90% of elden ring players beat the final boss this way instead of just learning his attack patterns
@@lukas5352yeah whatever makes em happy i guess

Learning attack patterns wasn't enough, I would dodge his every move but he's so tireless that I'd simply run out of stamina and get punished for it.
bro didnt roll or dodge a single time
So using a summons is cheating?
Tell Miyazaki that. When he plays, he uses summons.
Imagine thinking they created all that stuff for people to use in the game only to have ignorant yahoos say it's cheating to use them.
By this "logic" the Fingerprint Shield is cheating. So is using weapons. Or, leveling up.
And now using one-handed weapons is cheating too.
Please tell me he's being sarcastic.
I agree we should be able to use all the tools the game provides to overcome the challenge, especially for single player title. I'm using summons and 'cheesy' builds myself, but I'm still trying to meet the game in the middle - using summons more as get out of jail free card or a last resort once I have spend time on the boss but still lack damage or health to pull it off. I just think we should not hurry so hard to be angry at people trying to play the game straight and solo. I had my house mate get angry at me because I said I don't want to use summons on this or the other boss and I want to learn his mechanics and he got so mad at me, that I'm calling him bad, I'm elitist and toxic gamer because his default is just using summons so he feels threatened by my refusal do to so, even if I eventually used them to win instantly after being tired of dying for so long. The guy didn't speak to me for a week over how I chose to play Elden Ring, so while people who call using them cheating are wrong, so are those who say that not using them is elitist and inherently toxic.
In my case i dont usually summon because I like the self imposed challenge of doing it on my own. And to be honest, I use a darkmoon greatsword build that trivializes the game for the most part, yet makes it super fun in the dlc. But when I got to the final boss I was truly desperate and I tried everything I could without the necessity of changing my build because I really liked my build and it really worked for the whole game, so changing it because a single boss felt bad design and I was super against it. So I summoned a player, "rose" was its name, and they were willing to help me by tanking the boss like a chad while I inflicted frostbite and massive damage to the boss with the moonlight. And THAT was my first time ever summoning a player.
I prefer having this beautiful memory of jolly cooperation that made me now want to summon players and let myself be summoned than winning that boss that felt cheap and bs compared to 95% of the dlc and just having the memory of hating it and being one of the worst bosses fromsoft ever made (he still is) specially considering twin princes exist which is the same but 100 better.
So yeah, never feel ashamed of summoning folks. If miyazaki and the team added it, it's for a reason. I never summoned before and look at me now, a veteran player with tons of experience discovering this new perspective of these games. You can do it too , and as solaire once said, praise the sun in jolly cooperation ❤
I did no summons run only when I got good enough at the game that bosses became trivial, to give myself more of a challenge.
He's not sarcastic, he's a massive hypocrite, consistently one, and a huge simp army behind him.
If there's something in the game that removes all effort on the side of the player - that's cheesing. Summons, this stupid build, it's all the same.
Funny that he didn't seem to enjoy the DLC until he was level 300+ cheesing every boss with full tank shield build. Then suddenly it was the best dlc ever made.....ok dude

Love asmond but he definitely deserves to have his Elden lord status revoked. bro is standing there holding block with a dumb broke tank build but still says that summons are cheesing the game, and of coarse he changed his mind about the dlc difficulty right after he swapped builds as if it just clicked with him or something
reminds me of beating midra on the third attempt thinking that I was tricked by fromsoft and missed the real boss of the side dungeon. I wasn't even using a shield build, I just used the backhand blade and used Blind Spot instead of dodging the easily telegraphed attacks
I hate this shield tactic so much :,D . Oh well, Good for him.
Extremely boring to watch too.

I'm surprised he needed that many tries to beat the final boss, considering how overpowered his build is.
You underestimate how bad Asmon is
Has his performance before this given you the illusion that hes a god gamer then?
He played like a reporter both times
I don’t understand. People who say mage builds are cringe and is just “cheesing” are just fools who bash the game all day and don’t recognise that Mage options exist for people who like playing in a defensive play style. But then when they decide that they will make a build that can cheese the game it’s okay and it’s not cringe? Hypocrisy at its core.
Its like, they hate themselfs and dont allow for fun ways to play the game and then hate the game for not being fun and not having enough viable options. I think a part of the souls community has a big IQ problem. Maybe those "Bonk" Archetypes are more real than we think
bro beaten Radahn as if he is playing a lance build in monster Hunter.
Lol, true, except it's a reversal. In Monster Hunter, blocking is underpowered and I-frames are the superior method. Elden Ring made blocking OP and i-frames the more difficult playstyle.
@@plus-delta4477the fingerprint shield is the only avaible greatshield to blocking like he his doing, i tried other and they cost to much of stamina. In general shield are just dogshit comparing to dark souls
This is so anticlimactic compared to my win in which I was literally saved by my message being upvoted which allowed me to take a fatal hit that would've killed me and allowed me to land my last hit on the boss.
beating the last boss using mimic is more satisfying than this lol
This guy thought he had the bets build before and then cried about this DLC being too hard and had to switch to shield build lol what a joke
@Speedofile after him crying and quitting yeah it is.
@Speedofile Imagining your favorite streamer to be your friend is the real joke.
01:19:21 "I don't use summon ... because it's cheating". I disagree, not only is it not cheating, it's an available mechanic in the game. If that is cheating, then you summoned Igon in battle with Bayle and then cheated! IIRC we don't have to summon Igon for his quest. I'd totally agree summons simplify and trivialise encounters and reduce a level of the whole challenge, but everyone wants to experience the game in their own way.
Frankly, using heavy armour, a shield, and a colossal weapon for a stagger also trivialises and simplify encounters, exactly the reason why you have decided on that! Is it cheating, not at all, these are available mechanics in the game and your choice to experience the game!
