Question: is there *anyone* who doesn't take forever to deal with Renalla's first phase? Like, this was probably the fastest I've seen so far and it still took up way more time than it deserved.
Elden Beast is definitely a boss that benefits from being in its own arena. It needs space to run away and spam its magic projectiles like it does against the player. A lot of other boss arenas are too cramped for Elden Beast to fight in
Yeah, it's similar to Rennala Phase 2 needing the extra arena for her dodge jumps to work, summons to appear and move, sniping to begin, etc. There's also the fact that the Elden Beast is meant to be diving below the player to move around, yet there was no point in making its model/collision boxes go super far down when a player won't be clipping through the floor. Elden Beast just gets stuck here.
At least they patched its A.I so it wont run like a chicke with its legs and cast magical bs from a mile away, it uses its sword now and only uses ranged if the player is too far or unmoving.
@@bismarckimperia8781 Its AI is the same as release, just with freezing bugs and move set bugs (namely, one where it almost only used its sword) removed.
That’s because of their fireballs and black fire attacks doing damage percentage. Especially that Blacklane ritual Witcher stays there for a while and see you as long as you’re in it that’s a lot of damage to Big enemies like Elden beast. He also wouldn’t survive the role because the fat one rolling is supposed to knock you over so you won’t take extra damage from him continuously rolling but because boss don’t have that Their health destroyed
The weird starting position that made the fire breath miss honestly might have saved him here. That outright and poise damage could have really made the difference.
@@idontsleepatall1618Placidusax wasn’t ELDEN lord, it’s literally in his name, DRAGONLORD Placidusax, he was before the erdtree and therefore was not “elden lord”
Bosses that defeated the Elden beast : - Godfrey, the first Elden lord - fire giant - godskin duo - maliketh, the black blade - Mohg, lord of blood - dragonlord placidusax - malenia, blade of miquella - Rykard, lord of blasphemy - Radagon of the golden order
It's because the elden beast was in his arena. A lot of these close call battles would have easily been won if the enemy was placed in the elden beasts arena. Thus channel did another video about how many sur Gideon does it take to kill the elden beast, and it was a lot, **because** Gideon was in elden beasts arena.
@@titusmorris7482 Yeah. The false Godfrey and Gideon arena in particular seemed prone to despawning the needle rains, catch the Elden Beast on the geometry of the upper floor, and possibly making the AI do the 1.04 glitch in the former fight. I understand the consistency in keeping each boss in their arena, but the Elden Beast is the one boss who *makes* his arena from scratch.
@@nightscout9979 Exactly, part of the elden beasts combat is in a way his arena. After all, his animations play through with a water splashing effects on the ground when he dives under.

Radagon: You know, while the Elden Beast is the more annoying phase and will wear you down solely because of the huge arena and flight, I always found Radagon the harder phase, nice to see the ais back that up.
@@vwts true, non Tarnished bosses are immune to grabs...which is ironic given Marika is clearly suffering the aftermath of the grab move when the player gets there
@@arridueldes5638 Marika, if she suffers, is definitely not from the attack of the Beast. What she hangs from is also her personal Great Rune, as, similar to Radagon, can be seen from her seal and all of her images in the game. And it is not the golden spears of the beast that pierce her, but some kind of red spear that looks like the Destined Death, which is released after the death of Maliketh. For the sake of this, we initially went in Farum to make God mortal again. And as seen in the trailer, Marika's body was cracking as she shatter the ring, not because of the battle.
@@Xgenstudioz777 She almost certainly suffers, her body may have cracked during the shattering, but the fact that her pose while bound to that rune and the shard she hangs from is exactly the same as the one our Tarnish is bound by if that grab lands is pretty clear imagery. While this is technically headcanon as nothing in game states outright that the Elden Beast punished her for shattering the Ring, that certainly seems to be what is implied to me. As for the red spear, presumably that is an effect of our killing Maliketh or less likely, like Blaidd, Marika's Shadow was made so it would turn on her if she betrayed the Greater Will, which breaking the physical symbol of their authority in the Lands Between would certainly count as, though his dialogue when you face him after giving all the deathroot suggests he is ignorant of her not wanting the order as it was restored so that feels unlikely.
@@arridueldes5638 History shows that the Greater Will does not care what Order is established, it equally bestows grace on the restorer of the new Order of Death Fia, and the restorer of the Order of the Omens the Dung Eater, although both Orders are contrary to the early Golden Order. The Greater Will only gets angry if someone threatens the Fingers, like the Noxes and Ranni did. Marika betrayed the Golden Order and Maliketh himself in particular, who suffered for the sake of this Order, sealing the Rune of Death in himself, but not the Greater Will. Therefore, no one took Maliketh under control. Although he is well aware of everything, as he in the form of Gurranq says before dying. Marika has always and everywhere been depicted in this pose long before the Shattering. On statues, on stakes, in paintings. And it is also possible that she thus restrained herself, not giving her other self freedom of action. In any case, no one is holding her there, just as she herself does not have a single golden spear in her body. And this rune also appears above Radagon's head when he does his special triple strike.
Beast Clergyman gets bullied like in those animes where the hero gets bullied by a street gang, then shows his true power.. As soon as Malekith came in, I was like what's a god to the destined death!!
@@TheStraightestWhitest yeah he needs way more poise and full hp bar in phase 2. Like he can litterly throw a huge rock with 1 hand so I don't get the low poise
@@hugo-pg5tv He's the size of Radahn and can create earthquakes with his bare hands and fling boulders the size of five men like peanuts, but has 80 poise, which can be broken in one R2 from a greathammer with Cragblade. Make it make sense, From Software... Yeah he needs 30k health and at least 120 poise.
@@TheStraightestWhitest yeah he litterly got his poise broken 2 times in a row the first attack the Elden beats did ffs. Like he has close to 12k HP and that is in both of his phases. Some op weapons like blasphemous blade does 3k dmg with each attack.
Rick could have taken the Elden Beast if he really wanted to. But because Rick put all his power into his immortality instead of damage potential, he realized it'd take forever to finish the thing off. Deciding it'd get boring spending 9 hours chipping away at its healthbar, and having more important things to do, he used his Memory of Grace and left.
Elden Beast's attack pattern works like Radahn's Bow. The bigger and slower, the better. As you could expect, it can barely dodge any reasonably fast attack, and it performs significantly worse the smaller and faster the enemy is.
@@mikaelanorth5620 Old Redbeard is surprisingly quick, and his mobility skills make great counterattacks! He also has his own arsenal of range attacks, making him pretty effective against everything without health drain
Makes sense because Elden Beast needed Godfrey at his prime and a bunch of demigods to really win it. Mali also be fighting, all of the golden order be at prime in the giant battle
0:31 Let us pay our respects to this nameless soldier who was a mere mortal, but courageously stood his ground, valiantly fought and wounded a God for his Lord's sake, despite his Lord being an ego centric mad man.
Too bad he doesn't have a secret ending like after giving him all the deathroots we can resurrect him and challenge the golden order and unlock the ending The age of the good boi 🐕
@@mark0183 well he doesn’t die In the present I mean When we kill him in farum azula, we kill him in another time, so he is still alive And I guess the ending he would most appreciate currently is probably the basic one
@@catiminiclergus537 Farum Azula isn't outside of time, there are multiple proof of that. When you complete the quests for Bernahl in Volcano Manor, he helps you defeat Godskin duo and if you betray Volcano Manor then he invades you Farum Azula. Another proof is that when you give all the death roots to Gurranq and then fight Maliketh at Farum Azula, he recognizes you and asks something like “why Tarnished? why would you?”. Only Dragonlord Placidusax lives outside of time, which is why we have to lay down in a certain spot and go back to the past to defeat him.
@@SkiHigh then why is gurranq alive after we kill maliketh? Also, I might be wrong, but I think Bernahl invades you anyway. That’s why I think Farum azula is in the future, hence Maliketh recognizing us, but still being alive after killed
No one's talking about how Radagon easily dodged the Elden Beast's aoe attack and casually dodged other attacks as if he was being controlled by a irl player. I mean y'all can't tell me I'm the only one that noticed those human lvl dodge skills lol. Plus the areas didn't help the Elden Beast at all and given it's grab doesn't work it kinds lost a good close up move, but mostly the areas were too small and not being in its own arena definitely made it weaker.
It one of the things I love is when you see the AI in these boss fights do a regular move but the timing just makings it looks like genius level ten dodge
Placidusax disappearing right before the elden beast was going to dive bomb him was the greatest thing I’ve ever seen in one of these videos, second only to Godfrey suplexing the fire giant
I was seriously rooting for my boy plasidusax so glad he got the dub 😂 Also super interesting to see godskin duo do so well considering their lore is essentially bounty hunters that keep the gods in check!
The scaling on his DOT can go sky high based on his opponent's health bar, though in the lore it would probably level off (otherwise the Church of Marika dialogue about Marika wanting the Shattering to happen makes no sense, as no demi-god could ever beat Maliketh, only Tarnished could). Also, one of his hover blade combos seems to fly through a pillar, but a later one gets stuck on a pillar. He'd probably win anyway, but that was odd. Sometimes I wonder if a few bosses affect arena assets.
@@nightscout9979 meh, no need to floor his damage lore wise, it’s just than in a lore friendly fight, he probably wouldn’t land a single hit on malenia, way too agile; while radahn could probably tank it for a while, I mean, we literally fight him while he has been inflicted with rot for a loooong while
@@catiminiclergus537 the lore states every demigod was scared of maliketh. malenia is an empyrean, but still a demigod. being scared doesnt automatically mean losing, but radan was also said to be the strongest demigod and we know what happened there. If marika is stronger than the demigods, then so is maliketh, as maliketh was her shadow, meaning if things went bad he was to kill marika.
Watching this, I'm reminded of just how many attacks the Elden Beast has, between the sword slashes, the nebulas, the holy magic... It feels like they could have removed a few without problems. Also big shoutout to Morgott who managed to do quite a bit of damage with only 1 hp.
Well it the thing I find interesting with these videos of bosses fighting and how many moves you see could completely wipe out enemy bosses, but they won't always do the heavy moves but also how many moves they actually have.
The Dragonlord Placidusax fight was awesome. It was like two kaijus battling it out with swords and big magic spells. It was so dynamic with both dodging attacks, yet they were pretty evenly matched. The music fit perfectly too!
Some of these were actually really sick. Godfrey both versions, radagon for sure. Was totally rooting for fortisax. But watching these has made me realize malenia kinda ain’t shit without her healing.
if you can stagger her and preempt the waterfowl dance, yeah she's not the toughest foe. Then again with the elden beast if you pile on the purely physical striking damage it staggers and you can get a nice riposte in as well. All in all, smash things with a hammer. Thank you, this has been my Ted Talk.
@@thenerdlord8894 Elden Beast at its prime with all of the Great Runes yeah. During the events of the game it's kinda implied Godfrey would've reclaimed his throne if he didn't meet the Tarnished at the door.
Can you imagine their reactions to seeing this shit? “Is that…is that fucking GOD what walking around beating people’s asses? Have I gone completely insane?!”
I almost feel bad for the poor thing... Not that that stopped me from rooting against it! :D I'm curious about two things: 1) How consistent are these outcomes? Some of them looked like they came down to RNG, basically. 2) Is it possible to rig things up so a player controls the boss?
Yeah, I think it's RNG. For example; if gideon had used scarlet Aeonia he probably would have won. Or if radahn would have been more aggressive like he is against the player. Likewise, the elden beasts doesn't always use the best move for a given situation.
1. rng and battlefield makes the result different. but some cases are 100 percent. like malenia will never lose. maliketh has like 10 percent of losing chance imo. 2. yes player can control mobs including bosses
Renalla's stall tactics were more effective than her actually attacking the boss. Though I wonder what would have happened if she managed to summon more powerful allies, like the dragon and the giant, its possible that they would have distracted the Beast long enough for her to win.
radagon felt like the harder part of the fight, the elden beast was just hard cause of all the resources radagon made you burn through before fighting it. Not that it's not hard but if the beast itself was a standalone fight it wouldn't of been that impressive.
Elden beast after defeating god devouring serpent: (panting heavily) finally, twas a powerful foe. But alas, I am victorious. Rykard: (obi wan meme intensifies) hello there.
Yeah, Rick tried to swat it thinking it was a fly, but took the knee when he saw he'd be accidently slaughtering the literal embodiment of the Grace's will. So basically bro code.
I feel like this really shows that elden beast is scaled with the idea that you’re fighting radagon first in mind. Doesn’t stand against later game bosses alone

well that's everyone who could've become elden lord
Not bad for being a sequential boss.
@@hatefulgaming1800 Foreskin duo too ? 😟
@@thegk-verse4216 I mean the dusk eyed Queen was an empyrean.
Perfectly balanced, as all things should be.
Placidusax vs Elden Beast is the most epic fight ever
i know right? it was the most epic battle so far in this boss vs boss battle in this channel.
Rick could have taken the Elden Beast if he really wanted to. But because Rick put all his power into his immortality instead of damage potential, he realized it'd take forever to finish the thing off. Deciding it'd get boring spending 9 hours chipping away at its healthbar, and having more important things to do, he used his Memory of Grace and left.
fist only runners in shamble at the sight of this event
Some dead meme
no way y’all still saying
@alexmalqqqq yes it very fucking annoying when people overrated tutorial boss
@@IFuckedMyHorseShe9
It's the joke.
So coup. Lol
Placidusax was my favorite fight! He is my favorite boss so I was rooting for him too
i feel like many of these would have gone differently if it was in the elden beast boss room
Elden Beast's attack pattern works like Radahn's Bow. The bigger and slower, the better.
As you could expect, it can barely dodge any reasonably fast attack, and it performs significantly worse the smaller and faster the enemy is.
Fire giant somehow the exception lol
@@mikaelanorth5620 Old Redbeard is surprisingly quick, and his mobility skills make great counterattacks!
He also has his own arsenal of range attacks, making him pretty effective against everything without health drain
Rykard?
The fire giant one was awesome didn’t expect it to be so close 🙌🏾🤩
Makes sense because Elden Beast needed Godfrey at his prime and a bunch of demigods to really win it. Mali also be fighting, all of the golden order be at prime in the giant battle
Elden Shushi Tonight! (Survival of the Fittest right there)
Gideon:a man cannot kill a god...
Godfrey:am i a joke to you?
Lol
Godskins weren’t joking when they say their flames could kill a God
And this is without any Destined Death left since Maliketh took it all. It used to kill instantly.
0:31 Let us pay our respects to this nameless soldier who was a mere mortal, but courageously stood his ground, valiantly fought and wounded a God for his Lord's sake, despite his Lord being an ego centric mad man.
The fight against Placidussax is incredible!
In split 2nd Dark Soul 3 Prince Dragon and Rider shows up (out of no where) and wow it'd be amazing too
It's weird how elden beast's longest and most cinematic attack is barely damaging
This attack deals damage. Only this is holy damage. The problem is that most of the main bosses have a lot of resistance to holy damage.
@@Xgenstudioz777 That explains why my Holy Knight build fucking sucks. XD
@@Dra_El9980 honestly you have to tailor your build slightly depending on what area you're in.
A few of the bosses that could tank its attacks are bosses with high holy resistance
It’s designed to hurt players who have way less health by being annoying to dodge
Mohg really said "My outer god could beat up your outer god."
Malkeith absolutely destroyed it. He’s probably the strongest dude in the lore
Too bad he doesn't have a secret ending like after giving him all the deathroots we can resurrect him and challenge the golden order and unlock the ending
The age of the good boi 🐕
@@mark0183 well he doesn’t die
In the present I mean
When we kill him in farum azula, we kill him in another time, so he is still alive
And I guess the ending he would most appreciate currently is probably the basic one
@@catiminiclergus537 Farum Azula isn't outside of time, there are multiple proof of that. When you complete the quests for Bernahl in Volcano Manor, he helps you defeat Godskin duo and if you betray Volcano Manor then he invades you Farum Azula. Another proof is that when you give all the death roots to Gurranq and then fight Maliketh at Farum Azula, he recognizes you and asks something like “why Tarnished? why would you?”.
Only Dragonlord Placidusax lives outside of time, which is why we have to lay down in a certain spot and go back to the past to defeat him.
@@SkiHigh then why is gurranq alive after we kill maliketh? Also, I might be wrong, but I think Bernahl invades you anyway. That’s why I think Farum azula is in the future, hence Maliketh recognizing us, but still being alive after killed
if maliketh didnt have half health and there were no pillars to abuse, he would definitely be one of the hardest boss in the game
No one's talking about how Radagon easily dodged the Elden Beast's aoe attack and casually dodged other attacks as if he was being controlled by a irl player. I mean y'all can't tell me I'm the only one that noticed those human lvl dodge skills lol.
Plus the areas didn't help the Elden Beast at all and given it's grab doesn't work it kinds lost a good close up move, but mostly the areas were too small and not being in its own arena definitely made it weaker.
It one of the things I love is when you see the AI in these boss fights do a regular move but the timing just makings it looks like genius level ten dodge
@@Henbot Facts!
31:10 Malenia's dash towards the camera leading to a posture break on the Elden Beast was actually pretty cool
Placidusax disappearing right before the elden beast was going to dive bomb him was the greatest thing I’ve ever seen in one of these videos, second only to Godfrey suplexing the fire giant
I was seriously rooting for my boy plasidusax so glad he got the dub 😂
Also super interesting to see godskin duo do so well considering their lore is essentially bounty hunters that keep the gods in check!
Elden Beast: "Hey guys how is your health plan?"
All Bosses: *attacks*
Elden Beast: "APPARENTLY IT WAS GREAT!"
Chadfrey, Maliketh, Fire Giant and Ghost Chadfrey laughing at the corner.
Radagon, Maliketh, and Godfrey's health plan is holy resistance transfusion
Damn Maliketh just shredded Elden Beast
Maliketh>>Pussy
The scaling on his DOT can go sky high based on his opponent's health bar, though in the lore it would probably level off (otherwise the Church of Marika dialogue about Marika wanting the Shattering to happen makes no sense, as no demi-god could ever beat Maliketh, only Tarnished could). Also, one of his hover blade combos seems to fly through a pillar, but a later one gets stuck on a pillar. He'd probably win anyway, but that was odd. Sometimes I wonder if a few bosses affect arena assets.
@@nightscout9979 meh, no need to floor his damage lore wise, it’s just than in a lore friendly fight, he probably wouldn’t land a single hit on malenia, way too agile; while radahn could probably tank it for a while, I mean, we literally fight him while he has been inflicted with rot for a loooong while
@@catiminiclergus537 You really think Malenia is stronger than fking MALIKETH???? like 😂
@@catiminiclergus537 the lore states every demigod was scared of maliketh. malenia is an empyrean, but still a demigod. being scared doesnt automatically mean losing, but radan was also said to be the strongest demigod and we know what happened there. If marika is stronger than the demigods, then so is maliketh, as maliketh was her shadow, meaning if things went bad he was to kill marika.
26:25 the timing of the music, the attacks and the shot itself is just perfect
Can we all appreciate Soldier of Godrick almost soloing Elden beast! What a legend
He definitely did better than against Radagon who when I remember in the video this channel did Radagon totally vaporized him in like one move LMAO
Elden beat is lucky that Rick took it easy on him
As someone that did a blackflame build run, I can confirm that any blackflame weapon and incantations is extremely effective against the elden beast
I'd love to see Godskin Duo vs All of them. I wonder if anyone actually wins against them. Doubt it.
Malenia does
They're essentially 8 godskins. Maybe use the same amount of crucible knight.
@@thegk-verse4216 ehh not anymore, maybe in a previous update but I just fought them last week and its closer to 3.5
@@yoshikagekira1446 there is a video of malenia losing to them
@@user-ps1kk1cy5j yeah they both win some times I saw that
Wish Astel was a closer fight cause seeing them trade blows with magic was amazing
Elden Beast: "I'm going for a walk. A very enthusiastic walk."
26:25 is epic painting
Godfrey said "you're locked in here with me"
Godrick: we will bath in rays of gold
Elden beast: will a golden shower do?1:41
I really expected placidusax to lose, but that badass dodge and startup to the beam attack said all that needa be said
Watching this, I'm reminded of just how many attacks the Elden Beast has, between the sword slashes, the nebulas, the holy magic... It feels like they could have removed a few without problems.
Also big shoutout to Morgott who managed to do quite a bit of damage with only 1 hp.
Well it the thing I find interesting with these videos of bosses fighting and how many moves you see could completely wipe out enemy bosses, but they won't always do the heavy moves but also how many moves they actually have.
Man I'd love to see this kind of thing with pretty much all the bosses lol
The Dragonlord Placidusax fight was awesome. It was like two kaijus battling it out with swords and big magic spells. It was so dynamic with both dodging attacks, yet they were pretty evenly matched. The music fit perfectly too!
Rykard finally devoured a god!
Godfrey (spectral form) killing a god without too much trouble. World's biggest chad.
Godrick: i am the lord of all that is golden
Elden beast: bet *showers him in a ray of gold"
Godrick: YES, wait one sec let me offer my arm to u
1:30
Soilder of Godrick got caught off guard. He needs a rematch!
bruh where's Godfrey vs Bosses
This makes me proud to say I've defeated this massive beast!
Lol it looks kinda cute actually. Like a big silly pokemon or zelda creature.
If spirit hologram Godfrey can kill Elden beast then original will floor it
Elden beast needed a reality check that Mohgstein is just *built different*
That Placidusax battle was one of the coolest fights I've seen yet!
i swear everytime placidus go agaist elden beast shits always looks so good, like they knew we would do things like this
Soldier of godrick only pretended to die. He knew that if he won, there’d be chaos. Clever
The fights against Placidusax and Astel were thing of beauty.
Also the Lichdragon!
Renalla is the essence of the noob who saw a comet azure build on RUclips and then when it didn't kill the boss in one go has no backup plan :)
The Placidusax fight was incredible but especially how well it fits to the musical score with moments like 26:40
is cool
Man everything after 26:15 is a fucking cinematic masterpiece
Radagon getting hit by the Sacred Relic Sword... "Stop hitting yourself! Stop hitting yourself!"
For a bit I thought Fortissax would win, he was really close. A shame he didn't though, would have been great to see.
Dragonlord be like: “This was a good workout, but time to end it.”
Some of these were actually really sick. Godfrey both versions, radagon for sure. Was totally rooting for fortisax. But watching these has made me realize malenia kinda ain’t shit without her healing.
if you can stagger her and preempt the waterfowl dance, yeah she's not the toughest foe. Then again with the elden beast if you pile on the purely physical striking damage it staggers and you can get a nice riposte in as well. All in all, smash things with a hammer. Thank you, this has been my Ted Talk.
imagine the bosses are like "oh the player is gonna come in and we are gonna fight" then they see the Elden Beast
The subtitles on the Fire Giant scene are hilarious 😂
Great work! 👏
Not gonna lie, I was surprised to see Rennala shredding Elden Beast so hard in phase 1. Lost in the end tho, but still.
It's basically complete RNG if it targets or hits the correct sweeting and then Rennala while she is lying down.
Okay but the visual aspect of lichdragon vs elden beast is so cool
26:47 epic evasion!
Godfrey already clapped Marika so of course he would clap elden beast
😳🗿📸
Lore wise the Elden Beast would wreck him lol
@@thenerdlord8894 Elden Beast at its prime with all of the Great Runes yeah. During the events of the game it's kinda implied Godfrey would've reclaimed his throne if he didn't meet the Tarnished at the door.
@@virael3801 I don’t think so. Godfrey’s not in his prime either. And he doesn’t have a God-slaying weapon, making it impossible for him to kill.
@@thenerdlord8894 Elden beast just wants a second taste of Godfrey's "Axe"
Fortisaxx and the Elden beast staring eachother down is so badass
Can you imagine their reactions to seeing this shit?
“Is that…is that fucking GOD what walking around beating people’s asses? Have I gone completely insane?!”
24:55
28:00
these moments are so epic
Ah, yes they epic moments felt like I was an Anime I'll get to see unless it's here.
The Dragonlord fight was beyond epic!
I almost feel bad for the poor thing... Not that that stopped me from rooting against it! :D
I'm curious about two things:
1) How consistent are these outcomes? Some of them looked like they came down to RNG, basically.
2) Is it possible to rig things up so a player controls the boss?
Yeah, I think it's RNG. For example; if gideon had used scarlet Aeonia he probably would have won. Or if radahn would have been more aggressive like he is against the player.
Likewise, the elden beasts doesn't always use the best move for a given situation.
1. rng and battlefield makes the result different. but some cases are 100 percent. like malenia will never lose. maliketh has like 10 percent of losing chance imo.
2. yes player can control mobs including bosses
Watching this made me realise why we have to fight ER in such a massive arena lol
EB*
Renalla's stall tactics were more effective than her actually attacking the boss. Though I wonder what would have happened if she managed to summon more powerful allies, like the dragon and the giant, its possible that they would have distracted the Beast long enough for her to win.
Godrick: "I am the lord of all that is golden"
Elden Beast: "And I took that personally"
Wtfffff Elden beast about to dive at placidusax and placidusax just teleporting at the right time so sick
Alternative title: Placidusax takes revenge on the Elden Beast for ending his reign.
1:40
Godrick: I am the lord of all that is golden.
Elden Beast: And I took offence to that.
That Fire Giant fight was epic.
I'd love to see how the Caelid Bell Bearing Hunter does against bosses. He wrecked me at much as Maliketh and Malenia.
I still haven't beat Caelid hunter yet
radagon felt like the harder part of the fight, the elden beast was just hard cause of all the resources radagon made you burn through before fighting it. Not that it's not hard but if the beast itself was a standalone fight it wouldn't of been that impressive.
god devouring serpent against bosses would be good, also fire giant or godrick(revenge on family!)
Radagon killing Elden beast is funny.
It's like he said " This is your punishment for making me a sword!"
Such an amazing video, can’t wait for the next one.
More proof that if we hadn’t shown up Godfrey still would’ve gotten it done. Gigachad
Placidusax was fucking insane, honestly. That Elden Rain of Stars DODGE, though. Also, Placidusax's Ruin OBLITERATED Elden Beast.
Elden beast after defeating god devouring serpent: (panting heavily) finally, twas a powerful foe. But alas, I am victorious.
Rykard: (obi wan meme intensifies) hello there.
Radagon : You're so dead boss
Elden beast : what?! *started crying *
Placidusax was clutch that whole fight especially here 26:47
Astounding visuals, especially during the Dragon battles. Was curious to see how Fallingstar Beast would fare, but mayhaps next time- here's to that!
It was literally trembling in fear once it realized it was against Soldier of Godrick
Yeah, Rick tried to swat it thinking it was a fly, but took the knee when he saw he'd be accidently slaughtering the literal embodiment of the Grace's will. So basically bro code.
I feel like this really shows that elden beast is scaled with the idea that you’re fighting radagon first in mind. Doesn’t stand against later game bosses alone
The fight with Astel and both dragons feels like an final battle in blockbuster fantasy movie!
For a moment there I thought Soldier of Godrick would win…
