For those confused- the madness effect is using the sleep animation for bosses with the madness eyes. I do not know if this is normally in the game but disabled, but the animations do exist for the effect due to the existance of sleep. Makes you wonder how prevalent madness and sleep were in development for almost every enemy and boss to have a unique animation for it, and why its relagated to only about a dozen items in the game as of release.
you already said "modded and recolored" thus it is not original and made up by outside source why saying after that "I don't know if it is disabled" your making confusion out of nothing
Madness abilities didn’t get nearly as much love as they deserve in this game. It’s mind boggling to me that they would have a whole ending centered around the frenzied flame but limit you to only a handful of weapon/incantations related to it. Meanwhile there’s like 9 Golden Order incantations, a Sacred affinity and a handful of weapons dealing Holy damage in a game where some of the most annoying bosses have massive Holy resistance.
The holy resistance of the fire giant is a joke. Everything is weak to fire for some reason but the one faction obliterated by the order gets 40% resistance. Same with every thing eternal city arguably Maleketh should have less resistance than Radagon so about 70 ohhh and there is Rykard
Astael RNG was really really bad. It's like molesting a bee nest and then shove your head inside the nest. He could have won if he didn't teleport right inside the madness storm
Mercs:OK guys, lets walk really slow towards the enemy. Why? Because it will make us look like cool movie characters? Astel, insulted, just takes free shots at them until making the mistake of walking into several bullets consecutively but for real? I've never seen an enemy walk that slowly towards me, so why aren't they running to bosses?
The entire reason these guys gained Madness was because of Shrabiri's accusations, which was apart of his plan. Due to this, the Golden Order made the Frenzied Merchants we have now.
she won a lot of matches with Scarlet Aeonia, like if her initial blast doesn't kill then the rot will (0.33% HP per tick for 300s is a guaranteed kill)
Kalé: they think we worship the 3 fingers!? That we called the maddening sickness down upon them!? Well if that is what they expect from us, than that's what they shall get from us!!!! May chaos take the world!
Wow, Placidusax absolutely destroyed the merchants! That Malenia fight was pretty cool too, I dont think I've ever seen a draw on this channel before. Godfrey was a cool fight as well. Also wow, elden beast actually killed something.
@@lucasbrandt5501 Not on this channel lol, usually everything just poise breaks the bosses on loop, so the only ones that win are Placidusax because nothing can react to his teleporting fast enough, and Malenia who can ignore poise/posture damage sometimes
@@Jshenshhiuwbsvy what the actual fuck ??? do these modders even pay attention to the lore ? how can Radahn be mad when his current name is "the MAD dog" ? he can't even talk anymore and roar all the time from madness killing anyone no matter being friend or enemy how is this called "MAD" demigod be mad by a nameless literally no one merchant ? aren't all the demigods mad already by the way due to great runes ?
What I generally dislike about these battles is how it's always so reliant on a horde of enemies basically stunlocking the boss. I mean, just look at the mohg fight...
This is what I’ve been waiting for! These dudes always seemed strong against us tarnished so I wanted to see how they fair against bosses. Let the madness flow
The answer: They modded frenzy to inflict the sleep status animations. Frankly pretty op as some sleeps can last a while. Also lore inaccurate as only Tarnished get frenzied.
The strategy is once they surround and stunlock a boss, they pretty much have the win by keeping the boss in a "stunlock loop", unless the boss has some crazy poise and a big AOE attack to break the loop (see Godfrey).
Kinda tired of the Fire Giant getting cheap wins because his second stage spawns in a completely different position to where the first stage ends, and all the opponents lose aggro and can't find him.
Been watching through these vids, and when it comes to the Boss Rush category like this one, the roster is fairly set other than Lichdragon Fortissax. He appears in some, and not in others. Is it some programming issue or is it maybe based on whether or not he provides an interesting fight? Just curious if there's a reason.
I was not expecting the mod to make bosses susceptible to madness. Wouldve been fun if they dont implement that change as people want to watch how bosses fare against challenges as they really are in the original game. I think that frenzy flame is great not because it gives madness effect, but the damage itself is good. That is if we tarnished are the ones casting them. Idk about these merchants. The trolls in yellough anix hurt against players, but that is only because our hp isnt that great compared to bosses i guess
So I’ve just watched a couple of these videos maybe stop putting so many npc against bosses. They literally have no chance they get crowd controlled to death
I just don’t understand how radahn got infected by frenzy. 2:55… wait I realized that every boss is getting infected by frenzy. So I think you Used the sleeping staggered animation and combine it with damage of the madness with frenzy eyes. It would be actually so cool if thinks can get infected by frenzy instead of only tarnished getting infected by it in the DLC
I might just be me but I think it would be kinda funny to see them fight Festering Fingerprint Vyke as them getting mad over his failure to become the Lord of Frenzied Flame.

Thanks so much for explaining this! I do wish madness affected more enemies, and there were more Madness spells and weapons.

True. I wondered how come she didn't open with it as usual.

Still a draw

Mah melania lost :((((
If you haven't already, should do those ants or even the hard headed shield head ants against bosses.
Agreed!
Yea I’d love to see how well the shields work for bosses
10 shield ants, 10 normal ants, 10 flying ants.
One after the other in whatever order. The Ant Festival!
Actually, I would like to see a flock of 10 Monstrous Crows vs Bosses. Those birds are the WORST.

Elden Beast tends to fare REALLY well against mobs.
Fire Giants against the balls was a draw
@@Nat-ri3ip must've skipped that one
The number of people in the comments that think these bosses can be affected by madness, not knowing this is actually a mod. Lol...
Elden Beast was like "you boys must be mad..." 😂
It's always shocking seeing anyone besides Placidusax or Malenia win one of these
People who commonly win these are Elden Beast, Godfrey, Placidusax, Malenia, and maybe Maliketh every once in a while

Nope. They're using a mod.

do these modders even pay attention to the lore ?

inaccurate one
The answer: They modded frenzy to inflict the sleep status animations. Frankly pretty op as some sleeps can last a while. Also lore inaccurate as only Tarnished get frenzied.
Merchants "BATHE IN THE FIRE OF OUR MADNESS!!"

Very cool the way Radahn was afflicted with madness for a moment there, never seen that animation before
Because it isn't in the game

this is a sleep animation recolored using madness effect

I would love it if madness actually affected bosses. This vid definitely convinced me it would be a good touch
I so badly want an amy of 10 merchants following me around now
when their arguments are better and you lose your mind 16:34
if only they were shouting "Schizophreniac Code is one!" (short: SCIO) and "Path of empty syringe!" (short: POES), that would be perfect

Can you actually proc Madness on any boss besides Gideon? Or was that modded in for this video
Even elden ring can't beat bloodborne in terms of soundtrack, bloodborne remains the best among souls even now
After each of their victories, there was much rejoicing.

for someone who has played pokemon mystery dungeon those merchants are weak xD
