Yeah, I especially love how her swords don't have a consistent weight at all: They're as light or as heavy as the attack needs it to be, with no consistency whatsoever, which was done much better already toms of times in other games, even fromsoftware games.
@@Irelevant472 You are not getting the picture. Light and strong attacks still have the same weight, she's just deliberately putting more power into an attack at the cost of it taking longer. However, the way she acts with certain moves give the impression that the swords are heavy, but on another attack, she will just swing them around as if they're nothing. Look at pontiff Sulyvahn. He has one massive, and one average sword. Every attack with the smaller sword is quicker but less damaging, he is capable of poking with it due to the light nature of it. Meanwhile, the profane greatsword always needs to be swung, and it's attacks are way slower. Pontiff is strong enough to hold one in each hand, but each sword has a consistent weight and Power. Even his delayed overhead keeps the same weight while being a "Strong" attack, due to the fact that he holds it over his head effortlessly. The boss animations in Elden ring are deliberately designed to be clunky and shittily inconsistent because there is no other way to make these games, with their extremely shallow combat, any harder than the peaks of Ds3. But since the fans adore difficulty at the cost of good and intuitive boss design, this is what they went with. If you seriously believe the bosses in this game have a consistent weight behind their movements, you're not only wrong, but I would urge you to play other games, as these sorts of perspectives don't come from people who have played what the action RPG genre has to offer. Monster hunter is a stand-out in the genre: Monsters have a consistent weight, intuitive patterns, and better gameplay than anything From has ever made, while also being more difficult. Of course, with them being the most popular Devs currently, this is not a popular take, despite it being correct. Suggesting that other games have already done what they've tried except better is not a popular opinion, outside of the players familiar with both games with no biases towards fromsoftware.

Fell in love with the boss from the moment this OST begun. So far, it's my favourite DLC boss. She was so fun to figure out! Thanks for uploading her music!
It’s like Sulyvahn and Lady Maria had a baby (not like that). Mechanically maybe my favourite boss in Elden Ring. She’s the only boss in the DLC I’ve fought more than twice, however. Once I get more accustomed that may change.

Everything about this boss feels like a love letter to the people who played any of the dark souls games. From the magic and fire to the boss’ design and soundtrack.
@@mihaimercenarul7467 fast movement, readable, nice visuals and good variety of attacks wich she can change so very different each fight, and overall fun learning curve. What is spectacular? The boss has magic and fire attacks, two moons, and has very cool special effects like the fire tornado, magic slashes etc.
Moment I walked in and the violins went wild I knew we were in for some good shit If only it didnt take me like 30 tries that first run 😂 but it was such a spectacle each time I didnt really complain
The DLC really wants the player to try all the new things. This boss is clearly designed with the new backhand blade in mind and it really is an unforgettable dance when you try to fight her with that.
Hi! I’ve hitless’d her with my colossal sword lol, it was fun as heck, but I found Backhand Blades are more fun in general throughout the game because of the attack tempo & that Blind Spot Ash of War which is ridiculously OP.
personally my favorite boss of the DLC. No cutscene no nothing just straight to business. Took 4 hours to kill her as a pure strength build with my zwiehander. This isnt a fight. This is a dance and shes the lead and you are fallowing her. She in my opinon is a lot like 3 of our other favorite ladys being Sister Friede, Lady Maria, and Malenia.
was fighting her with a bow on my bow only character and she used the lunar ball sack attack 3 times in a row. not complaining cuz it's a visually beautiful attack and fun to dodge, but like she just did that. I must've glitched her ai or something.
Very nice fight, that sullyvahn reference was unexpected but very welcomed. (I know some people will kill me to say that fight was nice since she's in full combo almost 95% of the time xD)
@@alextreides Honestly I want to love this boss. Design and OST are badass the fricking fight mechanically I hate. Perhaps it will be like Malenia for me lol. I used to hate that fight until recently
I was a bit disappointed with the OST in Elden Ring. Nothing really as memorable as for example Dark Souls 3 where i love almost every ost. But SOTE has some real bangers again
I just wanted to say jesus loves you he's changed my life and all the better he can change yours to because he loves you and died for your sins come to him and be saved and experience his love he'll always be by your side embrace christ as he wishes to know you god bless❤

because the bosses are threatening and beautiful.

Turns out that Pontiff Sulyvahn had a daughter... and he trained her well.

Bad taste then. This boss is boring af.
honestly love this fight, felt alot like lady maria

Am I the only one that gets massive slave knight geal vibes from this ost that and renala obviously
Saw someone point it out on Twitter and now I can’t unhear it lol
I was thinking the exact same when fighting her
Has been stuck in my head since the first fight
Same !
She is the memorable boss of the DLC
Her OST and fighting style is so perfect
Just got the game and dlc, loving the whole carian knight/magic motif. Can’t wait to fight this boss
Love this boss shes super fun to solo
They cooked a whole prime steak buffet with all the sides with this game’s OST I swear
Not one bad entry, not one skippable song

Close enough, welcome back pontiff Sulyvahn
he was easier than her
Bits of slave knight Gael drums in phase 1
Yes
Never struggled this much on a boss on Elden Ring, and even in a FS game maybe... But cool fight and OST !
The DLC has so many great tracks, very glad about it since I found a lot of them in the base game very forgettable.
Such a fun fight
it took me 4 hours to beat her
Took me about an hour, had to go extremely aggressive on her in 2nd phase to prevent her from using any of the big moves (stagger).
Took me 3 days
Her combo are nearly endless you need to expect another attack is coming before you think there is a window
Never thought I'd see a beautiful battle that would remind me of Malenia's.
Both are work of an art alongside with everything in the base game & DLC.

Oh so that’s why it sounded familiar, it’s a revisited version of the trailer song
Thanks miséricorde 😅
Thank you my trusty colossal sword. 😂
Sounds extremely similar to Gael's theme
This music is trailer theme
neutered version of the gameplay trailer music
Best boss music .Gets me hyped up! Awesome!
She is wearing Artorias set
Wearing artorias' set and wielding sulyvahns blades with a theme similar to slave knight gael's. Love these references!
this song gives me the same feeling from Ludwig, and even from living failures, it is not a fight, it's a dance
The moons.. THE MOONS THE GOD DAMN FREAKING MOONS
i usually play with npc summon for the "story" of it but i did that one solo after dying.

My favorite boss in the whole DLC ❤️
She belong to DS3 !
Rellana is malenia just without the literal but hits harder and is stronger
Finally a music like darksouls and bloodborne ost
Midra's theme is straight up just a Bloodborne track.
i can fix her
Do you mean lady Sullivan?
*parry*
Mommy
I finaly beat her with my best buddy
Silver Tear :)
Do Mesmer
Why is she attracted to her sister's half-son?
Because he is the impaler
Rennala and Messmer are not related by blood though, Messmer is the son of Marika and Radagon
10/10
