Havel is arguably the strongest NPC in DS3, and it shows here. Despite Dark Souls bosses outright struggling sometimes, here comes NPC Havel bonking his way to four great runes... with no heals, spells, or ranged attacks of any kind. And he's also getting grabbed and tossed around like a ragdoll while he's doing it, which is more impressive. What an absolute unit. He better be a spirit ash in this mod!
@@mewxtherealitygod4706 No, they just dodge it, Npocs can and will be one hit killed by Radahn's meteor if you aren far away enough from the landing zone because they take a while to start following you.
I'm not terribly surprised. Havel's Armor has massive Physical and Fire Defense (which are the two types of damage the meteor does) and his shield also passively increases Fire Defense even when worn on the back.
So he more or less caps out at Radahn/Morgott, that's actually not bad from a lore perspective as Havel is only Human. Morgott and Radahn are Demi-Gods. Some of the most powerful, feared, and respected figures in the setting.
I knew from the beginning he was going to get absolutely fucked by later-game bosses. Havel is ultimately a slow tank, and Elden Ring is a game which absolutely does _not_ want players playing tanky against later bosses. The endgame is one long Vigor check. Still, the fact that he did as well as he did is a testament to how much of an absolute slab Havel really is. If his AI was better at dodging, he would have cleaned house.
His AI was terrible. Aside from 1 time that I saw he never capitalized on breaking the enemy's poise. He'd just defend and not attack. There were instances where he's literally just standing there doing nothing and just taking hits.
You just need enough DPS to focus her down while tanking her. I beat her yesterday with a 60 Vigor 60 Int Mage tank build using a +10 Dark Moon Greatsword, the Jellyfish Shield, some decent armour, the 20% physical resist talisman, and a +10 Mimic Tear.
He's a boulder with legs and his preferred weapon is a dragon tooth, Havel was the "hold my siegbrau, I got this" man of Fromsoft. Fighting him is literally bashing your head against a rock hoping it will break. Brings back fond memories seeing this.
Havel traveled to the Lands Between, to search for dragons to slays, cause all their kind were purged after the events of DS3. 13:10 Shame that this dragons are in a different league for our old rock dragon slayer.
Havel was always my favorite npc in the dark souls games so this is really neat. Be cool to see how the other npc's of elden ring fare against him. Thanks for the video.👍
Havel sers the Draconic Tree Sentinel. "You merely adopted fighting with a nail of a dragon and a big shield. I was born from them, raised by them. By the time i grew up, they became part of me."
Havel and Ledo! Also, isn't Havel supposed to be extremely resistant to magic? He is the one (Lore wise.. If I remember) who created Great magic barrier to counter Seath the the Scaleless, the godfather of sorcery. The dragon tooth grands the welder fire and magic resistance and wears armor made of literal rock thats very resistant to all types of magic... And yet he's also being tossed around like a ball that's being thrown back and forth between a father and his son Aside from my rambling... great video! Maybe Sekiro in the future. Just see him parrying every single enemy's attacks
It's almost like someone designed tons of good armor, then designed a bunch more armor while being overly careful not to recreate any armor from the first set, which severely limited their choices because that first set covered a wide variety of great designs and archetypes, leaving only a bunch of weird, overdesigned garbage for the second set.
@@MaximillionPegasusJ.Crawford Pick up a heavy weapon, i.e. a greataxe, ultragreatsword, greatsword, or greathammer and wear any armor set with more than 30 poise and while you are attacking you will not be staggered out of your attack.
@@rigorm136 Oh, then suddenly my armor does something? But when I'm swinging my puny dagger around, the armor acts as if it weren't there. It just doesn't make sense. I'm a damn boulder! No simple hollow should be able to make me flinch with a broken shortsword. It's all just a joke. A cruel, cruel joke.
@@Thegoodhunter225 I'd rather not have that, the original stats should never be changed for video purposes unless they hit there limit. I like seeing the data of what they can do before they get charged around. Dark Eater Midier never got buffed and he cleaned house, until he hit bosses with high holy resistance which is interesting because that means Dark was changed to Holy from DS3 to Elden Ring.
It's interesting that he can beat all the bosses up to the Morgott but after that he losses against the rest of the bosses (except Gideon). If anyone puts him in ER via mod I hope they take note of this and place him in the mountain top
Havel: My armor set, my weapon and my shield is heavy as fk, but I can still roll. Tarnished: I can jump attack. Havel: I have awesome damage resistance. Tarnished: I can jump attack. Havel: I beat many bosses without dodging their attack. Tarnished: I can jump attack. Havel: I'm gonna smash your skull with my hammer. Tarnished: Why don't you get up here and try? "Jump on rocks"
Quand je suis tombé sur lui en 2011 avec une barre de vie ridicule il m'a écrasé, pour moi ça restera un des meilleurs guerriers des souls rien que son look et son armure son incomparable
Havel lost his will to win after the fire giant. he also had trouble locking onto the enemies from the giant onward. he sank like the Rock he is. were sir gideon's floating swords just for show?
Oh dude! Lil Hansel The Brock! Chyess! The man came to beat the crap out of old people, dragons and old people monsters for XP. Then bounce. This was so cool we love Havel.
Havel, Ledo and Siegward against the lands between PLEASE!!! You can also put Havel and Tragoth, as they both are the tanks npc of their respective games.

Yeeaahhh, let 2 trains Hit at once.😅

Nothing like two best friends destroying The Lands Between.
Even better, one from each game!

@aprinnyonbreak1290 Elden Ring really fumbled a lot of the armour designs. They're no where near as cool looking as ds2 and 3 which is such a shame.
Havel is both the immovable object and the unstoppable force. Movement is all of time and space just moving around him unmoved.
I mean, are Gideon's glinstone phalanx gonna activate or what? They were just there for show 💀
Yeah, that was kind of dumb
The rock strikes fear into all sources of magic
Godryck does the grab fire move.
It does 49 damage . Grab move ineffective.
Havel, "Smough had farts that tickled me more"
So... when do we get to see our Boi Holy Knight Hodrick parry the lands between?
That would be interesting
Hodrick vs Moongrum would be an interesting one for sure.
My man hodrick would just get jumped, some things better remain unseen
If he remains with his DS3 AI, it's probably him getting parried, or simply won't get the chance to parry at all.
Havel got places to be after beating a boss
Now do it again with ds1 poise. Where poise actually worked.
Poise does work in ds3 it’s just that it isn’t passive anymore like in ds1 so you can’t brain dead chug through enemy attacks and r1 spam

After the Fire Giant, it was all downhill for Havel.
The presence of the moon against all the bosses of elden 🙃
