I feel The Tarnished would have a much simpler life if he attacked whenever his enemies charge up, take a breather, grab/make a weapon from their body, and etc in these cutscenes.
Bayle imo is the coolest dragon fight in video game. The music, the design, the phase change, the environment, the execution move… Man he is a masterpiece
48:53 didn't know that he still have that move, the fact that theres an almost anime-like glint on where he is before he crashes in, and the beams of light strucking the ground first and then followed by him, as if he's a meteor being followed by stars is so sick
So glad this video exist. So many people got the wrong idea about the bosses cause the first videos released by other people were cheesing the boss and using mimic tear too, so it made the bosses look super underwhelming, when in reality these guys are monsters and everyone who plays solo and said nothing but amazing things
I feel like the dlc is a mix of all past souls game assets . Like if you played souls series,bloodborne,sekiro, and demon souls before these dlc bosses take some type of inspiration from past games in one form or another
Getting to the bosses are identical in other games. Messmer has the layout of the Astrel clock tower. Lion dancer has the ludwig layout. Final boss has the DS3 Lord of cinder/orphan of kos.
I think the videos are from before the DLC came out, so it would be a bit "incomplete", just notice the difference in lighting, the shadows of the arena and everything around it looks much more beautiful than the other videos
I would have liked it if his boss fight would have been more grand. A frenzy flame lord could bring an end to the whole world but his fight was contained in a small room. I think it would of been cool if he had a second phase where he destroys the entire mansion and his head grows even bigger and is floating like a sun over frenzy forest.
Taglines for each boss: Divine Beast Dancing Lion - Furin Kazan as an interpretive dance, beatdown, and where the particle effect budget went (Looks like an actually fun monster-boss battle, could not look away from those attacks). Rellana, Twin Moon Knight - Pontif Sullivan but you don't get caught on the arena. Putrescent Knight - Orphan of Kos flashbacks with that weapon and atmosphere, also the Horse had Ludwig vibes, basically a send up to Bloodborne. Commander Gaius - Radahn likes his soldiers to ride things, but this guy doesn't need his Gravity magic to keep his steed alive, he does need it to kill you though. Scadutree Avatar - Miquella just saw Audrey 2 from little shop of horrors and said "I want one of those" (And it continues the Elden Ring tradition of Monster-bosses that are more painful then fun to fight) Romina, Saint of the Bud - Scorpion means betrayal, Centipede means life, and Butterflies mean explosions apparently (Such a pretty boss, I expect the Plauge of Gripes rule 34 [When it comes] to be incredible) Midra, Lord of Frenzied Flame - Laser eyes like Cyclops and Star-head like Xorn, but the man really needed Deadpool's regen Metyr, Mother of Fingers - Holy Order and Gravity magic, all wrapped up in a barely sentient Tumour monster (was amazed that the mini fingers it shoots off didn't cause some kind of "Infestation" buildup) Bayle the Dread - in the words of Letterkenny's Wayne: "Oh fuck, a three-legged dog" (I imagine you lose your pity for the maimed bastard once you have to redo the near ten-minute fight for the nth time due to the lock-on targetting an area you can't reach as opposed to the vulnerable meat in front of you) Messmer the Impaler - The fight is literally a series of penis jokes, we've got your standard Trouser snakes, your "Extending Shafts", the spears poking you from behind, "If you Touch yourself you go blind" and to top it off, a Big Black Anaconda with a white hot load for you. Radahn, Consort of Miquella - And we thought that Malenia was on suicide watch after "Let Me Solo Her", imagine what she'll be like after she finds out about Miquella ditching her to shag their step-brother who drove her to unleash her Blight.
Idk why but Rellana is my favorite. Idk if it is the two swords or the way the attacks are, but that is a beautiful boss fight visually. Same with Bayle, Midra and Romina.
There is a lot of lore that ties in a lot of plot holes from the main game in here, don't worry The Miquella Radahn thing explains the whole Malenia vs Radahn thing
@@HeartOfHallownest yeah its better. World is more dense, so much verticality and the world has so much interconnectivity. The quality of the content in the world is much higher on average, there’s much less of the catacombs and the ones that are there are much better designed. The dungeons are even bigger and better and there’s way more secrets and it just keeps going and going. The bosses are of higher quality as well. And man they are really, really hard. The final couple bosses make isshin and Malenia look like scrubs.
I will bet actual money that the only reason they made Radahn the final boss of this DLC is because the base game version of him was just that popular. Strictly speaking as someone who’s had the DLC spoiled and is not even close to done with it (got some base game stuff to do first), his inclusion seems so out of place.
it's not out of place. Miyazaki said George has wrote the backstory of Elden Ring before the game was released. They deliberately trick us into thinking other way so they can subvert it. The first cinematic trailer showed Malenia whispering something to Radahn's ear. It is now revealed to be "Miquella awaits thee, O Promised Consort" as seen in Radahn's armor item description. Radahn is the most powerful demigod, like Godfrey was so it makes sense that an empyrean like Miquella choose Radahn as his consort. Miquella also has split body/duality like Marika (Miquella with St.Trina, Marika with Radagon)
This also answers why Malenia is waging war on Caelid and Radahn, because she's under the order of Miquella. And this also confirms why Miquella is said to be "The most fearsome of all"
@@samuel.jpg.1080p then they shouldn’t have had you fight him in the base game. That fight had such amazing buildup and spectacle that now that I know he shows up again here, that fight now loses some, nay, most, of its impact. Lore be damned, one of these two Radahn fights shouldn’t exist imo.
From what I can tell: posture shreding tear, lion's claw in hammer, malenia's great rune, maybe that emblem that restores hp with consecutive attacks too.
@@mse7215 seriously? I only found the final boss harder than her and i would say theyre on the same level. I wasnt even overlevelled i just found them easier
@@Oknahidwin Malenia is overrated. You just need to know how to fight her. Once you learn how to dodge waterfowl the fight gets a lot easier and learning to dodge it isnt hard. There are a bunch of yt vids that explain it. Even if you dont learn it you can cancel waterfowl 3 times with frost pots, and assuming you survive 1 that's 4 waterfowls in total. And unless you have terrible RNG you should be able to beat her before she does more.
Imagine Godwyn instead of Radahn as final boss. Two phase fight. First phase he’s in fish-form and second phase Miquella heals him back to his peak before Ranni destroyed his life (and the world). He uses his Dragon abilities and even his Dragons come to follow Miquella as they sense his kindness. Edit: to all the “Godwyn is dead” replies, this is a very ambiguous work of fiction and if they wanted to come up with a reason to have their almost Jesus-like character resurrect someone, they could’ve came up with a way.
Genuinely feel like that is what should’ve happened. I still don’t understand the Miquella Radahn thing tbh, and I hope playing the dlc will explain more but it 100% should’ve been Godwyn.
@@cad7497 Radahn is the best of the best from the demigods so Miquella wanted him. Godwyn's soul is also dead so he can't resurrect him the same as he did with Radahn
This DLC is a masterpiece no doubt! My only real gripe is that they didn’t give Rellana a cutscene or a dialogue. It would’ve given her some decent substance. Respect as a contender, no cutscenes or dialogue was a huge miss. It makes her feel like a nobody. She went out like Potif and he was one of DS3s main villains. It’s a disappointment to catch really interesting bosses just standing at your first interaction. I get not everyone can get a cutscene but am I being unreasonable here?
I think they had a huge opportunity missed by not having Ranni involved in this if you finished her quest in the base game. At least in the final fight if nothing else. Two Empyreans fighting for the future with their consorts (whether willing or not?)
Final boss is extremely disappointing from both a gameplay and lore perspective. Felt like a cheap attempt at fanservice that really no fans were actually asking for. Other than that it's great.
@@legacy_moments Haven't faced the final boss yet, but from facing Messmer, Rellana (phase 2), Bayle, Dancing Lion, and Midra, I am already very satisfied with the DLC's addition to the main game's boss roster. Now, it finally rivals DS3 (with DLC's), Bloodborne, and Sekiro. But I was VERY surprised when I saw that final boss in a video... did not expect that at all, and I always hope for new designs. I have no doubt it will be a wild fight, regardless.
@@legacy_momentsFan service? Radhan was basically turned into a puppet because he didn't want to become Miquella's consort...even in the death he didn't find peace. Where Is the fan service?
This is possibly the best DLC ever made in the history of videogames and i really mean it, FromSoftware and Miyazaki just gave birth to the game of the century i dont fucking care if people dont like it
The sheer amount of new remembrance bosses in this dlc is absolutely crazy. And having the final boss be Radahn in his prime while also empowered by Miquella is a bold choice, but the fight itself is absolutely bonkers. Imo I think Messmer should have been the final boss due to how much of a central role he takes in the marketing but it’s not too bad
Thank you so much for this video! It isn't quite as interesting when videos tend to just cheese the bosses. It feels like both player and dev team get to shine and showcase their talents more when there's a, well, fight. I'm a sucker for the unique blend of environmental art that only video games can really bring, and I think Elden Ring might be the first game ever that I've gotten into off of that alonem, despite being a slow learner and not even that much of a gamer.
It’s unfortunate that we probably won’t get another DLC for Elden Ring. Because there’s still some characters that we need to know more of. One in particular, The Gloam Eyed Queen and the true history of the Godskins. Also, I really want to know if The Gloam Eyed Queen is someone we already met…. Of course I’m talking about Melina.
I feel like the finger ruins have something to do with her and the godskins. The whole areas are shaped like the symbol of the godskin incantations. Even the weird lamprey enemies kinda look like godskin.
Random moment, but when he jumped down to fight the Putrescent Knight, I kinda wanted him to break his legs when he landed. I know jumping down massive pits to fight bosses is normal in FromSoft games, but it still would have been funny. “Alright. Time to fight the boss. This is a long drop. Ow! Oh gods! My knees! I can see my bones!”
Aquí para rellenar el intento de bait de al lado Pero de allí, excelente video y sin duda el dlc es casi tan grande Liurnia y alrededores, pero miyasaki tan humilde diciendo que solo mide lo de limgrave
Radahn didnt want to be his consort. So Miquella sent Malenia to kill him so he could use his body as a puppet. This fight is Radahns soul in Mohgs Body, but the soul is being puppeteered by Miquella. Miquella was a whole villain the entire time
Well if we're being honest it's Mogh and Radahn as a fusion Miquella used Moghs body with Radahns soul to make a fusion I will say though in terms of pure skeptical the fight is beautiful but I'd much prefer a Godwyn coming back asspull since Radahn is a puppet they could do the same for Godwyn
I have this explained, but this is a long one: It seems everyone knew about the promise and vows, and agreed, including Radahn and Malenia. Reason why Miquella sent his sister to kill Radahn was because he was under the influence of a great rune and forgot his promise to Miquella, Malenia was along with it because in a helm description it said, "Miquella awaits thee, O' Promised Consort", and if you remember the cinematics where they fought, she says something but we couldn't hear, it was already hinted at before the base game even came out. But because she used scarlet bloom to defeat him it didn't kill him so Miquella had to manipulate Mogh to get his body somewhere else to where he could access the realm of shadows. Which was revealed in the DLC by Moghs follower. Then we kill Mogh and Radahn, two of the requirements to get into the DLC, therefore allowing Radahn to finally die and Miquella uses Moghs body but bc he is the Lord of Blood, Radahn is able to have his form come to fruition due to the malleable body, which we saw when his body came from blood, but since it's still his body you can see Omen horns on Radahns Gauntlet. And another thing Miquella *needed* a consort that wasn't an emperyan to ascend to Godhood and from a remembrance we know Miquella had a crush on Radahn and if it was going to be anyone it was going to be him, and Radahn promised. This would also bring the Carian family back with the Golden Order aligning their families to peace.
Fromsoft: Hey guys, you know how it's been a running theme in our games that the only reason you can beat these legendary warriors and gods is because they are so withered, injured, and/or insane and they still put up a hell of a fight? You do? Good. Well how would you like to fight Radahn again but this time in his prime and then some?
Were there any legit good options in the great axe or halberd class? The Death Knight’s twin axes are cool but don’t possess the range of the Dragon Halberd
Two sets of arms around Radahn... Wow, Miquella was suffering from spilt personality disorder after everything went down. The main form was of Miquella and the spiritual-imposed ghost had to be of his alternate goddess persona, St. Trina. *edit* The final fight also implies the Empyrean wears their consort as a single being. This means, Radagon and Marika *may* have truly been two separate people prior to their marriage. Godfrey was forced out, but Marika never got that option with Radagon. They were not allowed to divorce. It was Marika's punishment. Also, this means Radahn was doing the same as Mogh... except Radahn had consent. Additionally, this union may be why Malenia was so keen to see Radahn dead back then. She was jealous enough to nuke a continent with a Rot Bomb. *extra edit* I may re-post somewhere else at some point.
I don't think it was jealousy that motivated Malenia. It was desperation. Radahn just proved much, much stronger than she had anticipated and she realized this would be her first major loss AND she'd have failed Miquella, so she decided to go with the nuclear option.
@@iboofer I'm talking about the cut scene between Miquella and Radahn. If it really took place before The Shattering, then Miquella told Malenia of his intentions of having Radahn as his consort. So, why would she fight Radahn, who was to serve as Miquella's consort? She wanted to prove herself either the better choice/protector, or she was jealous of their Promised Union.
Lol it's clear you didn't play the DLC if you think Malenia was jealous of Radahn. It was Miquella who ordered her to kill Radahn so that Radahn's soul could be reborn in the Shadow Land. Malenia was also not losing per the sword monument in Caelid which flat-out says that Malenia stalemated Radahn even before the rot bloom. She bloomed to break the stalemate and kill him.
How do you get the halberd to do so much damage. i just upgraded it to +10 an it's not doing nearly as much as what you are doing. and i have used the spinning slash.
Try to beat Bayle on ng+7 , lemme tell you half of his moves becomes one shot (I'm lvl 713 btw) +he has like 70-80 k hp. Couldn't beat him without mimic 😢😢😢
I feel The Tarnished would have a much simpler life if he attacked whenever his enemies charge up, take a breather, grab/make a weapon from their body, and etc in these cutscenes.
He's such a gentleman 😊.
Bold of you to assume he's got enough energy to attack them mid phase transition.
Basically, if there was no plot.
Or are literally COMING TO LIFE
Malenia:" I dreamt for so lo-..."
Tarnished:" Yoink, got your arm,legs,helmet"
Bayle imo is the coolest dragon fight in video game. The music, the design, the phase change, the environment, the execution move… Man he is a masterpiece
Bro only plays soulslikes😂😂
Midir will always be the GOAT imo but Bayle is sick
Fatalis and Grigori are also up there
I also like the guy that starts cursing Bayle out when u summon him
@@legacy_momentsmidir is harder that’s all this fight left is 10x cooler like the OP said
48:53 didn't know that he still have that move, the fact that theres an almost anime-like glint on where he is before he crashes in, and the beams of light strucking the ground first and then followed by him, as if he's a meteor being followed by stars is so sick

Yep. Really shows the extensive nature of this DLC in terms of boss battle content. It hasn't got a 95 on Metacritic for nothing, after all.
Oh my gosh thank go someone said it. The first 2 “all bosses videos” don’t include all the bosses and are both spamming Moonveil with Mimic tear😭😭
I'm using mimic tear and still struggling to beat these bosses.
"cheesing the boss" if you don't summon against them the boss is literally cheesing you.
Bro SCADUTREE AVATAR JUST WOULDNT STAY DEAD! IM SO HYPED TO BEAT HIM!!
Yeah it looks so awesome
Did you beat him yet
I feel like the dlc is a mix of all past souls game assets . Like if you played souls series,bloodborne,sekiro, and demon souls before these dlc bosses take some type of inspiration from past games in one form or another
Rellena is literally just Dancer and Pontiff combined. It’s perfect
Getting to the bosses are identical in other games. Messmer has the layout of the Astrel clock tower.
Lion dancer has the ludwig layout.
Final boss has the DS3 Lord of cinder/orphan of kos.
there is a DLC arena that reminded me a lot of midir in DS3, radahn and miquella reminded me of the twin princes too
Bayle was pretty much Midir and Placidusax
Metyr and The Avatar definitely feel very similar to Bloodborne bosses
This version of Radahn looks more awesome that the ones seen in the other videos (in terms of move set at least)
Yeah at least he use more attacks no just laser beams
I think the videos are from before the DLC came out, so it would be a bit "incomplete", just notice the difference in lighting, the shadows of the arena and everything around it looks much more beautiful than the other videos
Radahn Blanco??
And now...
*_He's no longer festering with Scarlet Rot._*
And now I see *_why Malenia had to use her power._*
Because other videos use summons and kill him super fast and also don't have the aggro most of the time
27:05 when you have a headache in 1605
Good lord, Midra's fight is absolutely gorgeous!
Peakra showing off his flames
I would have liked it if his boss fight would have been more grand. A frenzy flame lord could bring an end to the whole world but his fight was contained in a small room. I think it would of been cool if he had a second phase where he destroys the entire mansion and his head grows even bigger and is floating like a sun over frenzy forest.
Imagine another DLC a few years later only this time we have to fight Marika and Radagon in their primes?
Mizayaki said this is the only dlc bro
Also what is the pfp😂

Metyr, Mother of Fingers - Holy Order and Gravity magic, all wrapped up in a barely sentient Tumour monster (was amazed that the mini fingers it shoots off didn't cause some kind of "Infestation" buildup)
Bayle the Dread - in the words of Letterkenny's Wayne: "Oh fuck, a three-legged dog" (I imagine you lose your pity for the maimed bastard once you have to redo the near ten-minute fight for the nth time due to the lock-on targetting an area you can't reach as opposed to the vulnerable meat in front of you)
Messmer the Impaler - The fight is literally a series of penis jokes, we've got your standard Trouser snakes, your "Extending Shafts", the spears poking you from behind, "If you Touch yourself you go blind" and to top it off, a Big Black Anaconda with a white hot load for you.
Radahn, Consort of Miquella - And we thought that Malenia was on suicide watch after "Let Me Solo Her", imagine what she'll be like after she finds out about Miquella ditching her to shag their step-brother who drove her to unleash her Blight.

It’s unfortunate that we probably won’t get another DLC for Elden Ring. Because there’s still some characters that we need to know more of. One in particular, The Gloam Eyed Queen and the true history of the Godskins.
Also, I really want to know if The Gloam Eyed Queen is someone we already met…. Of course I’m talking about Melina.
I feel like the finger ruins have something to do with her and the godskins. The whole areas are shaped like the symbol of the godskin incantations. Even the weird lamprey enemies kinda look like godskin.
Oh Miquella... Dearest Miquella... If only there was a choice to let you become a god... I'll see you again in new game +
They gave us Eldenring 2 as a DLC. It’s amazing
Random moment, but when he jumped down to fight the Putrescent Knight, I kinda wanted him to break his legs when he landed. I know jumping down massive pits to fight bosses is normal in FromSoft games, but it still would have been funny.
“Alright. Time to fight the boss. This is a long drop. Ow! Oh gods! My knees! I can see my bones!”
48:55 *ptsd kicks in*
48:55 HOLY…!!!✨
Radahn Supersaiyen 3!!!!
Anyone else expecting godwyn be a boss too
Aquí para rellenar el intento de bait de al lado
Pero de allí, excelente video y sin duda el dlc es casi tan grande Liurnia y alrededores, pero miyasaki tan humilde diciendo que solo mide lo de limgrave

Wait. If Radahn is supposed to be a promised consort of miquella, then why were Radahn and Malenia fighting in the shattering at all?
All of them lost their minds with their runes
I'm pretty sure Malenia was attempting to kill him so he could be sent to the Land of Shadows and become Miquella's consort
Radahn didnt want to be his consort. So Miquella sent Malenia to kill him so he could use his body as a puppet. This fight is Radahns soul in Mohgs Body, but the soul is being puppeteered by Miquella. Miquella was a whole villain the entire time
I loved the dlc. Truly. But im sorry the ending just gives me a sour taste in my mouth and i still dont like how we are fighting radahn again.
Well if we're being honest it's Mogh and Radahn as a fusion Miquella used Moghs body with Radahns soul to make a fusion I will say though in terms of pure skeptical the fight is beautiful but I'd much prefer a Godwyn coming back asspull since Radahn is a puppet they could do the same for Godwyn
I have this explained, but this is a long one:
It seems everyone knew about the promise and vows, and agreed, including Radahn and Malenia.
Reason why Miquella sent his sister to kill Radahn was because he was under the influence of a great rune and forgot his promise to Miquella, Malenia was along with it because in a helm description it said, "Miquella awaits thee, O' Promised Consort", and if you remember the cinematics where they fought, she says something but we couldn't hear, it was already hinted at before the base game even came out.
But because she used scarlet bloom to defeat him it didn't kill him so Miquella had to manipulate Mogh to get his body somewhere else to where he could access the realm of shadows. Which was revealed in the DLC by Moghs follower.
Then we kill Mogh and Radahn, two of the requirements to get into the DLC, therefore allowing Radahn to finally die and Miquella uses Moghs body but bc he is the Lord of Blood, Radahn is able to have his form come to fruition due to the malleable body, which we saw when his body came from blood, but since it's still his body you can see Omen horns on Radahns Gauntlet.
And another thing Miquella *needed* a consort that wasn't an emperyan to ascend to Godhood and from a remembrance we know Miquella had a crush on Radahn and if it was going to be anyone it was going to be him, and Radahn promised. This would also bring the Carian family back with the Golden Order aligning their families to peace.
@@Marukanitel that was actually a very good explanation and really starts to make sense of everything.
@@TheLsp2011 Thanks
the rest of the bosses were fire tho
10:00 anyone wanna talk about the fact that Elden Ring now has ET’s?
bayle looks absolutely sick, still prefer placidusax's soundtrack though.
Fromsoft: Hey guys, you know how it's been a running theme in our games that the only reason you can beat these legendary warriors and gods is because they are so withered, injured, and/or insane and they still put up a hell of a fight? You do? Good.
Well how would you like to fight Radahn again but this time in his prime and then some?
34:05
Suddenly, Balteus?!
At least it reminded me of Balteus.
How come there is no talk with relanna?
Cause she stood on business
Amazing how they just casually added a 2nd game, as an expansion.
One of the Radahn's first phase move is same as Pontiff Sulyvahn.
Do we get radahn's armor set? I dont like the cape on the base game since it looks like it has molds lol.
YES YOU DO and the armor set is completely badass
The realm of shadows soundtrack is great
Were there any legit good options in the great axe or halberd class? The Death Knight’s twin axes are cool but don’t possess the range of the Dragon Halberd
In the first fight how did he come in on a cutscene but have his runes there?
FromSoft cooked so god damn hard with this dlc 😭
Say it to the worst DLC made by them in history.
@@hachijospaniard5643 no one is agreeing with your opinion Lil bro
@@hachijospaniard5643 Go troll somewhere else
Lets be real, Miquella is being mad naive for someone who thinks they themselves can solely make the world “a better place” with their rule.
Prime Radahn video time against all bosses
Bayle the Dread is Balerion the Black Dread of ASOIAF
23:50 🔥🔥
Why is Radahn moving like Pontiff Sulyvahn in Phase 2? 😍😍
Lothric and Lorian with Sulyvahns moveset?
If whatever ya love it or hate it for this final boos because this DLC final boss is my favorite
This DLC gives us the bosses we begged to have in the base game. Even a prime Radahn is here. It’s all perfect!
They could’ve atleast gave Radahn some dialogue.
Could you share your stat and builds?
This is the first time I've seen Radahn's light beam attack at 48:53
Radahn be feeling like godfrey with those golden hair sticking out but instead of a lion its a woman which is more scarier🗿🥶
1:36 “You got games on yo phone”?
Boy that’s just mfing ganondorf 45:11
Dragon so bad ass!
The dancing lion is giving monster hunter ALATREON vibes!!!
Two sets of arms around Radahn...
Wow, Miquella was suffering from spilt personality disorder after everything went down.
The main form was of Miquella and the spiritual-imposed ghost had to be of his alternate goddess persona, St. Trina.
*edit*
The final fight also implies the Empyrean wears their consort as a single being. This means, Radagon and Marika *may* have truly been two separate people prior to their marriage.
Godfrey was forced out, but Marika never got that option with Radagon. They were not allowed to divorce. It was Marika's punishment.
Also, this means Radahn was doing the same as Mogh... except Radahn had consent.
Additionally, this union may be why Malenia was so keen to see Radahn dead back then. She was jealous enough to nuke a continent with a Rot Bomb.
*extra edit*
I may re-post somewhere else at some point.
I don't think it was jealousy that motivated Malenia. It was desperation. Radahn just proved much, much stronger than she had anticipated and she realized this would be her first major loss AND she'd have failed Miquella, so she decided to go with the nuclear option.
@@iboofer I'm talking about the cut scene between Miquella and Radahn. If it really took place before The Shattering, then Miquella told Malenia of his intentions of having Radahn as his consort.
So, why would she fight Radahn, who was to serve as Miquella's consort? She wanted to prove herself either the better choice/protector, or she was jealous of their Promised Union.
Lol it's clear you didn't play the DLC if you think Malenia was jealous of Radahn. It was Miquella who ordered her to kill Radahn so that Radahn's soul could be reborn in the Shadow Land. Malenia was also not losing per the sword monument in Caelid which flat-out says that Malenia stalemated Radahn even before the rot bloom. She bloomed to break the stalemate and kill him.
まるで、ペルシャの神話に出てくる邪蛇王の様な姿。過去にやらかした残忍この上無い所業も似とる。後、火山館で作られた蛇と人のクリーチャーが完成してたら、こいつみたいになったのかな？
How do you get the halberd to do so much damage. i just upgraded it to +10 an it's not doing nearly as much as what you are doing. and i have used the spinning slash.
and i do have the warrior jar shard but i had to kill alexander in liurnia for it.
bro im desperate🙏🙏🙏
I need answers as well@@skippyismyman9018
he looks to be max level. thats why.
@@svartrbrisingr6141 ahh thank you
The only thing i wish we got in this dlc was more on godwyn
GG. Can i see build?
Putrescent knight look like Orphan of kos but instead of wing he has a horse 😅😅😅
1:17 "The strumpet's vile progeny" is exactly what I say every time I think about the developers of this game 🤣
Try to beat Bayle on ng+7 , lemme tell you half of his moves becomes one shot (I'm lvl 713 btw) +he has like 70-80 k hp. Couldn't beat him without mimic 😢😢😢
Commander gaius is my nemesis even bayle was easier, he clapped me like 20+ times but imma destroy him for sure, i learned all of his pattern tho
Messmer is so gd cool man
metyr design so creepy
can you show the build?
Wouldn't the serpent hunter work on the impaler
Whats the weapon he used
How are you taking such little damage
hes max level
He probably hoarded a lot of scadutree fragments
Wwooww 😮😮😮😮😮😮
does the putrescent knights weapon remind anyone else of the orphan of kos from bloodborne
I absolutely despise thumbnails like these
Tout mes respects
