What's surprising to me is that they could've easily just made AC assets the same size as ER while still having a sense of scale by designing the environment to look smaller in comparison like the containers, buildings, etc. But, they went the extra mile to actually make life-sized models.
It actually would be easier to make life-sized models. A lot of the asset environments in the game are based off of real-world references that already have established dimensions. From there, it's a matter of scaling the mechs proportionally to make the most sense.
You also have to mess with the physics a bit if you scale the environment like that. It's easier to use actual scale so you don't have to tweak it as much. (Small, but not the only, example: acceleration due to gravity is basically constant regardless of size/mass. So if you scale the whole environment down but don't scale gravity, objects would seem to fall way too fast.)
I mean there's a scale conversion going on here. That's why there's a video on how tall the Armored Cores are (on this channel), because the game units aren't real units
and the gimmick weapon is actually usable outside the boss arena, and insane one at that. this is truly the best and coolest gimmick boss fight FS has ever put out.

Ac6 is so underrated as GOTY contender. Its size and still keeping attention to detail all processing a salvo of missles and bullets in a AC battle so smoothly is incredible
I would love a mod that lets you walk around in the AC6 levels as a human. The scale of some of those are crazy. Sometimes I stop to look at the little human scale staircases and railings and thought I'd love to walk on them.
For the entirety of my AC6 playthrough is thought to myself how much the damage we as the player made would cost all the companies and governments. We receive like 100k per mission while destroying robots and facilities that would easily cost billions to build.
Nah WAAAAAAAAY more then 100k bro, more like in the millions/billions easily lol the debt at the end of the game would be astronomical, just look up pricing for the construction of a single skyscraper, then look at the sizing of everything in this game relative, there would be multiple lifetimes of paying all the debt off that we created lmao also, since it's based in the future, might as well times the normal pricing and income by 10 or 100x considering the rising cost of things, but hell, this is just a badass conversation anyway!
Maybe one COAM is really valuable. Then again it'd be pretty stupid to spend more on destroying a facility than it cost to build it. Even in real life, a handful of grenades that maybe cost a few thousand dollars can destroy a building that cost hundreds of thousands.
Considering some of the MT/LC/HC/AC could easily cost us millions if not billion to construct, and us getting 800-60k COAM from eliminating them could give us some idea of the rate to our currency.
You must consider that in this future, weapons that could cost hundreds of thousands of dollars to make are labelled as "generic mass produced weapons"
The Ice Worm feels like such a cool and fitting Dune reference, it's basically a mechanical sandworm in many ways aesthetically! Even the size and length here, as we see in the video, is so unbelievably colossal that it basically matches descriptions of the most massive Shai Hulud in Dune's universe, over a kilometer long and more. Seeing it in Elden Ring's map and compared to the other massive entities across From games really is incredible, thank you Zullie!
It also features a rebel group of natives in constant exposure of said valuable drug and one of its endings involves a planet wide rebellion with a savior figure as its spearhead who got exposed to a substantial amount of said drug As someone who only dabbled in dune lore and watched the new movie the multiple inspirations are striking and I’m here for it
@@thugkermit9999 Yup, it is a very distinct and potent inspiration to AC6, 100%. As someone who has read the first four books, I absolutely loved how much the narrative draws from Dune while still distinctly being an AC game with its other influences (like the mecha genre from anime, etc.). Dune is obviously a seminal work that has influenced untold sci-fi works since its release, but it's still awesome to see From do such good work with the influence and reference it in so many compelling ways in the game!
@@gohunt001-5 Finally a metric reference point 'mericans can understand, just say how much AR-15s it is instead of meters, and maybe call it "kilo ARs" for a good rough measure. Thus, the Ice Worm is roughly 1368 AR-15s long, or 1,368 kilo AR. That's a long boy, brother!
I didn't realize how huge the Ice Worm level must be, it's like an entire region of Elden Ring for a boss fight. I'd like to see an Elden Ring character ported into AC6 to see how impossible it would be to navigate the levels
@@whitewall2253 Someone could make that into a modded DLC all on its own. The Tarnished gets teleported into the cold tundra where the wreck of the Ice Worm is and has to traverse the corpse to find a way home. There could be smaller drones as the regular enemies, the crab bots as mini bosses and maybe an MT or a Tetrapod MT as the final boss of the area.
While the Nightfall boss in AC6 might be my favorite fight in the game, I think ICEWORM might be my favorite set piece fight in a FromSoft game. The Festival and Yhorm from DS3 honestly pale in comparison despite the Festival having a massive build up and being necessary for an ending, and Yhorm’s fight being able to summon onion bro to help a friend put his friend to a final rest. Maybe I’m just a softie for mecha and railguns, but I’ll be thinking about the ICEWORM fight for years
It's because the Festival part is entirely optional. Yes, you COULD go in summon the bois, fighting together as a united horde... Or just go mano-a-mano with the Conqueror of the Stars himself. It's a mish-mash of a gimmick fight and a normal fight. Plus, most of the characters in the Festival are people you barely know. There's Blaidd, there's Alexander, and after the halfway point there's Jerren, who you might not even get because you're fighting for your life. The rest? Invader/Summon NPCs scattered throughout the Lands Between, who only get their lore from item descriptions. And in a normal playthrough, you generally won't even know that lore until after the Radahn fight. Meanwhile, the Ice Worm's set piece is mandatory. You're going in with a plan. You know everyone who's taking part in it, from mouthy Iguazu to smug bastard Snail and our buddy Rusty. And they do help by making deleting the Ice Worm's health in Phase 1 and 2 trivial and by dealing with the drones in Phase 2. If nothing else, they at least keep your ammo costs for Phase 2 down. There's also a better narrative throughout the Ice Wormfight. Radahn narrative is starting with you making your way across the field, engaging in melee, awakening his gravity magic and finally getting him to unleash his true power while transforming the sunset into night... But that's the usual FromSoft formula of getting bosses who lost themselves to regain a bit of their past glory in their final moments. For the Ice Worm? First it's easy, almost too easy as everything is going to plan. You break the barrier, bash the worm's drill-face in and easily take down the drones. You're trading jokes and barbs and praising each other and saying it's all a job well done (other than Iguazu and Snail, but those guys suck, so screw them) and of course, Rusty is delivering epic lines. Then you do it again, and everything is going fine. For about five seconds until the worm enters rage mode. Then the plan goes to shit and all hell breaks loose. Your party slowly dwindles, first with Snail, then Chatty. You're all alone. It's up to you to kill this thing. (Because at some point Iguazu got wasted, but that's not really of much consequence, is it?) Rusty pulls out all the stops and disables the limiters as he has faith that you can open it up one last time. And then you prove him right, and kill it all on your own. Everyone is in awe as they realize that you were the one that took down this monster on your own. The Ice Worm fight hits hard because it's generally crafted for one story. Even if you break that story and go without the stun needle, it replaces the drama with humor and still hits hard, just with a bit more hilarity.
My jaw dropped at the cutscene after the fight. Thanks to work and real life stuff, I'm still on my first run of the game I've been not looking anything up beyond how to get the 3 different endings. So I don't know any specifics with what's going on with the story and I did not expect what we learned in that cutscene. I like the fight with Yhorm because it's important to Siegward and I like having him there. The Festival was very "meh" to me. He took me just 4 attempts to beat and wasn't all that difficult. The buildup to it was nice, but I didn't have any emotional investment in the fight or any real attachment to it. Beyond summoning Patches just so I could see him nope away from the fight, lol. Elden Ring's story in general is a lot less engaging for me than FromSoftware's other games.
I can just imagine how large the Strider is, considering how even in the game it is simply colossal. I don't know if it's larger than the Ice Worm, but it surely looks like it is.
If planted north to south in Elden Ring's map, I suspect its hind legs would be in Limgrave while the Eye would be somewhere over Leyndell or north Altus
@@Ferromancer86 I feel like they mention at some point that the Strider is over a kilometer long (not 100% certain, I may be misremembering) so it certainly wouldn't be far off
And its a MINING mech! It is easy to imagine how his huge buckets and drills dig out and sift literally all Land Between for several hours, leaving a one huge pit and lot of neat containers with resources.
@blahblahboii they arent, all ACs aside from fifth gens, which are around five meters tall, are in the ten meter tall height group. Nexts just feel like actual machines opposed to VI where its literally the edlen ring character rig with an AC skin.
@@thomasleonard8550 Nah, the AC6 models feel more in line with how ACs looked back in gen 1-3. In VI you actually feel more restrained by natural limitations like energy, overheating weapons, being more grounded, which make it feel more machina-like. Gen 4 went a bit too gundam/anime with its mech designs and gameplay feel and making it insanely easy to bypass those natural mechanical quirks with stuff like near infinite energy recharge and constant flying and far too easy to achieve blistering speeds which made them feel more like jet planes than a big huge suit of mechanical armor.
I have a recurring dream that I'm working on a roof somewhere (I'm in HVAC), and I turn around to see an impossibly huge giant coming over the horizon, dwarfing everything, making physics a joke. It's not quite a nightmare, but it does make my heart race.
You mean to tell me that I didn't have to throw my favorite kindle waifu off a cliff to burn the Erdtree and just easily could've done it with a Bad Cook? Dammit Melina, I told you to listen to me!
Something that constantly made the Ice Worm feel uncanny to me is how despite being 100% mechanical, its segments having a somewhat blocky and artificial shape, and having drills entirely in the place of legs or a face, its actual behavior and habits look and feel organic and very animalistic, which is clearly due to being piloted by a sentient living energy resource (and also likely because it’s a Dune reference). This makes for an interesting take on the Killer-Robot-Worm boss when compared to other video games, such as Terraria or Metal Slug, where in they would just engage the player immediately upon deployment like the ruthless war machines they are. But this absolute Chonker of a Mecha-Worm is much larger (and potentially more terrifying) than either of those examples combined, even if it’s not nearly as bloodthirsty.
This reminds me of Armored Core For Answer. The boss "Spirit of Motherwill" was also a true NPC. The entire thing moved, instead of being an "attackable background." It's size was as long and even wider than the Strider from AC6.
I bet there were people who were surprised that the Motherwill can actually cause a mission failure if you allowed it to just walk away from the battlefield.
I think it's incredible how those madman actually model all their stuff in the same scale. I mean it's probably practical from a design point, but still, just the opportunity to import bosses from a giant robot game into your dark fantasy game is mind-blowing.
okay can we talk about how gargantuanly huge the Heavy Attack """Helicopter""" is holy shit that things the size of a office building how tf does it fly
That gigantic helicopter, with a prop as big as a runway, a cockpit that can fit a mech, and highly doubt even air-liftable, is the most un-scientific object but nobody ever blinked an eye. A huge TBM with a worm body, and everyone loses their mind.
Thank you so much for these videos, they always fill me with joy! Your choice of music and presentation comes to me as a simple, innocent sense of being amazed at the little (or big) things. So good.
Intercontiental Railcannon Even when I heard the words in the briefing I couldn't grasp it. Next thing I know, I see a sunrise over the horizon and a roar of energy. "He's shooting from across the planet!??!" The silence before the slap then the near instant travel of the shot. I'd be cool to have a DLC mission with Rusty, realize he's using the power output of a city to charge a single cannon....then GOES OVER the limiters
im fascinated by FromSoft's ability in making everything as detailed as possible and yet still makes the game works and even better in ac6! the textures in these models are insane!!!
I keep forgetting that in AC6 you are not the size of a person, but are the size of a small house. Seeing how big the Ice Worm really is just scares me now, because it is basically a drilling skyscraper that is basically indestructible
As an engineering major trying to get better at programming (and formerly interested in game dev) I just love channels like these that dig up game assets and characters models for comparison, to find new lore, deleted sections., etc. Yes, these things are pretty simple if you know how, but it's absolutely fascinating, mind-boggling and delightful for a luddite like me to watch. Maybe one day I'll learn how. Keep up the good work!
Zulie: So I brought the most dangerous thing I've encountered in from soft's many universes into elden ring Radagon: You what. Marika: YOU WHAT!?!? Gwyn: Hahaha.
If the worm is that big just imagining the structures that reach Into to the sky and the wires far above that just make my brain hurt. And the fact that there are gaurd rails everywhere, so it's like they intended these structures to be actually crossed by people :O OOOOUGGGGHHHHHH MY HEAD HURTS
this really puts things into perspective given that we were fighting in a large mecha. ... though i wonder, if this worm is 1.3km long..... what would it look like if we could port motherwill from AC4A into elden ring. that thing is listed as 2.4km, though the in-game model might not be accurate
@@aze0012 Yeah, the artbook suggests that NEXTs are just a little speck compared to cradles. There's no way the game model can host 20 million people at that size. Gameplay wise, if they're at a 1/1 scale, it'll be a nightmare to play *that* mission. Going from point A to point B would take forever. Plus the map is going to be too big for PS3/XB hardware to handle.
This is insane, yeah, but I really wanna see the size of the STRIDER in comparison to something. It’s easily bigger than the Worm, and I believe one of the biggest enemies to ever exist.
before the dragons, but not before the moonlight, Fromsoft were the kings and queens of Mechanical Monsters which could only exist in an engineer's nightmares. If the Worm and the Grinderwheels don't show that much, or the older enemies of previous titles, then I don't know what would lmao
The detailing on those drill bits is quite impressive, considering how infrequently you'll actually look at it. But From actually put in the effort to show how the drills haven't been maintained after, what, half a century?
@@eclipserepeater2466 Probably because its not going to snap off anytime soon. If that thing survived the Fires of Ibis, those teeth aren't falling off anytime soon.
@@pillarmenn1936 I mean, probably right. Maybe it can self-repair to a degree, that would be in character with C-weapons as ancient weapons designed to defend rubicon in perpetuity. But you could imagine that it's spent the decades since the Fires mostly dormant beneath the earth without maintenance, slowly rusting, and now that it's been activated again it will damage itself.
I liked how impossibly big the vascular plant was. It looked so big there's no way the entire planet had the raw material needed to build it and it probably offset the planets center of gravity with its weight
Never really felt it was THAT BIG, but I guess that's only natural when you're gigantic yourself Does make me wonder how bit the STRIDER is tho It did FEEL more massive than the worm
I love going around on missions and seeing how small stuff looks compared to my AC. My AC isn't even all that big itself since I'm using the lightweight reverse joint legs and, thus, smaller weapons, so I'm not even rocking legs that would make me look even bigger. I did try the tetrapod legs for the Ice Worm, but I didn't not get along with them at all. I did laugh at seeing them in the cutscene at the start, because they made my AC look like it was a centaur, lol.
Man I love the absurdity of the future. Literal kilometer and 380 meters of steel, wiring and alloys. So much recourses. This is probably bigger than pyramids. I mean we have mountains carving blocks out is not a big deal, but winding so much metal is a bit hard
This raises a lot of interesting questions for me like: 1) are the background infrastructure assets to scale i.e. if you port a tarnished into AC would the staircases and human sized infrastructure be accurate/navigable? 2) exactly how big is the battlefield of the Ice Worm fight in comparison to the Radahn fight, arguably the biggest boss arena in Elden Ring. Would it take up like 1/4 to 1/2 the map of Elden Ring?
Yes,the infrastructures assets are accurate to scale,they are roughly accurate to a human sized model to navigate on it,with some being bigger or larger and not everything translating 100% well but good enough.
I'm so so eager to see someone put the Tarnished into Armored Core 6 and see if we can just walk around the maps like a normal person. Looking up at the scale of it all.
Fighting a giant worm in the snow on a planet with a large corporate interest due to it's one of a kind valuable resource while using mechs? Feels like Lost Planet sometimes.
In fairness, FS in recency has done many gimmick fights. So this is on par or better than their other gimmicky fights. Cause the "gimmick weapon" you get, stun needle, is actually viable in any scenario than something like storm rule or sepeent slayer in their respective bosses
The ice worm is just straight up a weapon of terror. Holy crap. If that thing gets unleashed anywhere on earth the amount of carnage that would happen would harrowing.
Please do a size comparison for the other bosses next. I'm just sitting here at 0:00 in awe at the size of that AH-12 helicopter, like for real those rotors should *not* be able to lift this chonky boi 🤣🤣
Just did the measurements, and for those curious, the STRIDER is just over 1,540 meters long. The main reason the Ice Worm looks so big in this size comparison is that it's completely straight out when it's usually seen folded a million different ways in the game. On the other hand, though, the Strider is 670 meters tall, so it's still enormously larger in terms of mass. (I spent too darn much time with measurements)
I actually would love to see the strider, the PCA ship, or even Xylem, or maybe other bosses with the tarnished looking at them just to see the sheer size of all those things
The fact that they accomplished this in the game engine is awesome. I'm so used to floating-point precision errors being a common theme in other games and my own learning projects.
It feels like there was a definite turning point with Sekiro in terms of stylizing boss fights, there have always been bosses that had a more cinematic angle to them, but the Divine Dragon was a huge step up and you can see them applying similar concepts to their other bosses in Elden Ring and Armored Core 6.
There is a technical scaling and normal scaling. The technical scaling in AC6 must be huge. Its just like applying it.
The Divine Dragon I’d say marked a turning point in From’s gimmick/spectacle bosses
Also showed that, even in a From game, an easier boss can still be super fun and very cool
I disagree with the divine dragon being cinematic. The giant skeleton from dark souls 3 is way more cinematic and exciting than that pitiful wyrm.

Preferably one with a car or something, otherwise you'll be walking quite a bit.
Probably the most intsresting idea I heard. It would be so fun to actualy see everything to scale.
Just give me Torrent and I am good to explore.
@@botarcmaybe with a faster sprint speed and unlimited double jumps.
If they ever made an open world AC game, I hope they include the option to exit and explore on foot. Naturally, this would be hella dangerous.
For the entirety of my AC6 playthrough is thought to myself how much the damage we as the player made would cost all the companies and governments. We receive like 100k per mission while destroying robots and facilities that would easily cost billions to build.
Nah WAAAAAAAAY more then 100k bro, more like in the millions/billions easily lol the debt at the end of the game would be astronomical, just look up pricing for the construction of a single skyscraper, then look at the sizing of everything in this game relative, there would be multiple lifetimes of paying all the debt off that we created lmao also, since it's based in the future, might as well times the normal pricing and income by 10 or 100x considering the rising cost of things, but hell, this is just a badass conversation anyway!
Maybe one COAM is really valuable. Then again it'd be pretty stupid to spend more on destroying a facility than it cost to build it.
Even in real life, a handful of grenades that maybe cost a few thousand dollars can destroy a building that cost hundreds of thousands.
Considering some of the MT/LC/HC/AC could easily cost us millions if not billion to construct, and us getting 800-60k COAM from eliminating them could give us some idea of the rate to our currency.
You must consider that in this future, weapons that could cost hundreds of thousands of dollars to make are labelled as "generic mass produced weapons"
I think there good because resources are from multiple planets and machines do all the building
It’s not the ice worm, it’s the friends we made along the way.
The buddies we made along the way
Exactly one, but quality friend
I guess the ice worm was inside you all along.
no it is not the friends we made along the way
it is a reskinned enemy from ds3
even got the same movement
@@kaiserdetectivegolden2735 Cope harder. Which enemy was reskinned? This is literally a new model.
You simply are here to hate, stfu
Zullie getting her hands on such big machine is a recipe for disaster
Yo what are you doing here
The Ice Worm feels like such a cool and fitting Dune reference, it's basically a mechanical sandworm in many ways aesthetically! Even the size and length here, as we see in the video, is so unbelievably colossal that it basically matches descriptions of the most massive Shai Hulud in Dune's universe, over a kilometer long and more. Seeing it in Elden Ring's map and compared to the other massive entities across From games really is incredible, thank you Zullie!
And both confront greedy corporations seeking to harvest a valuable substance that is used as a drug.
He who controls the Coral, controls the galaxy.
Raven, we have wormsign the likes of which even God has never seen.
It also features a rebel group of natives in constant exposure of said valuable drug and one of its endings involves a planet wide rebellion with a savior figure as its spearhead who got exposed to a substantial amount of said drug
As someone who only dabbled in dune lore and watched the new movie the multiple inspirations are striking and I’m here for it
@@thugkermit9999 Yup, it is a very distinct and potent inspiration to AC6, 100%. As someone who has read the first four books, I absolutely loved how much the narrative draws from Dune while still distinctly being an AC game with its other influences (like the mecha genre from anime, etc.). Dune is obviously a seminal work that has influenced untold sci-fi works since its release, but it's still awesome to see From do such good work with the influence and reference it in so many compelling ways in the game!
That thing’s over a KILOMETER long?! Jesus!
Then there the Strider which make even the Worm look small
what is a kilometer. how many cheese burgers is one km
@@KiIIerQueenbooma kilometer is around 1000 M16A4s long, for reference
@@KiIIerQueenboomAbout 8771 cheeseburgers.
@@gohunt001-5 Finally a metric reference point 'mericans can understand, just say how much AR-15s it is instead of meters, and maybe call it "kilo ARs" for a good rough measure.
Thus, the Ice Worm is roughly 1368 AR-15s long, or 1,368 kilo AR. That's a long boy, brother!
That mission was so amazing. I am in the last chapter and AC6 is my GOTY.
make sure to play NG++. feels mostly like a totally different story
First playthrough? You have 3 total playthroughs to consider it a last chapter!
The game's great though, have fun
@@glitchypriest3462 I understand that. Thanks though you truly arr informative.
The hype and the jolly co-operation in the Iceworm fight was off the charts. Easily my favorite Fromsoft setpiece
I didn't realize how huge the Ice Worm level must be, it's like an entire region of Elden Ring for a boss fight. I'd like to see an Elden Ring character ported into AC6 to see how impossible it would be to navigate the levels
You could absolutely have multiple dark souls dungeons take place within the broken body of the ice worm.
Others game cannot fly so it is likely they will stuck at the first level
@@whitewall2253 Someone could make that into a modded DLC all on its own. The Tarnished gets teleported into the cold tundra where the wreck of the Ice Worm is and has to traverse the corpse to find a way home. There could be smaller drones as the regular enemies, the crab bots as mini bosses and maybe an MT or a Tetrapod MT as the final boss of the area.
I'd like to just have AC duels in ER environs.
@@pillarmenn1936Tetrapod Mt would just be a harder elden beast lol.
Ice worm definitely became my favorite "storm ruler" fight, especially because of rusty
and the "storm ruler" is actually an OP weapon outside of the iceworm fight
While the Nightfall boss in AC6 might be my favorite fight in the game, I think ICEWORM might be my favorite set piece fight in a FromSoft game.
The Festival and Yhorm from DS3 honestly pale in comparison despite the Festival having a massive build up and being necessary for an ending, and Yhorm’s fight being able to summon onion bro to help a friend put his friend to a final rest.
Maybe I’m just a softie for mecha and railguns, but I’ll be thinking about the ICEWORM fight for years
Nightfall? I mean it's alright but it's a standard AC fight and it's not even the best at that. The second Rusty duel or HAl is better.
It's because the Festival part is entirely optional. Yes, you COULD go in summon the bois, fighting together as a united horde... Or just go mano-a-mano with the Conqueror of the Stars himself. It's a mish-mash of a gimmick fight and a normal fight. Plus, most of the characters in the Festival are people you barely know. There's Blaidd, there's Alexander, and after the halfway point there's Jerren, who you might not even get because you're fighting for your life. The rest? Invader/Summon NPCs scattered throughout the Lands Between, who only get their lore from item descriptions. And in a normal playthrough, you generally won't even know that lore until after the Radahn fight.
Meanwhile, the Ice Worm's set piece is mandatory. You're going in with a plan. You know everyone who's taking part in it, from mouthy Iguazu to smug bastard Snail and our buddy Rusty. And they do help by making deleting the Ice Worm's health in Phase 1 and 2 trivial and by dealing with the drones in Phase 2. If nothing else, they at least keep your ammo costs for Phase 2 down.
There's also a better narrative throughout the Ice Wormfight. Radahn narrative is starting with you making your way across the field, engaging in melee, awakening his gravity magic and finally getting him to unleash his true power while transforming the sunset into night... But that's the usual FromSoft formula of getting bosses who lost themselves to regain a bit of their past glory in their final moments.
For the Ice Worm? First it's easy, almost too easy as everything is going to plan. You break the barrier, bash the worm's drill-face in and easily take down the drones. You're trading jokes and barbs and praising each other and saying it's all a job well done (other than Iguazu and Snail, but those guys suck, so screw them) and of course, Rusty is delivering epic lines. Then you do it again, and everything is going fine.
For about five seconds until the worm enters rage mode. Then the plan goes to shit and all hell breaks loose. Your party slowly dwindles, first with Snail, then Chatty. You're all alone. It's up to you to kill this thing.
(Because at some point Iguazu got wasted, but that's not really of much consequence, is it?)
Rusty pulls out all the stops and disables the limiters as he has faith that you can open it up one last time.
And then you prove him right, and kill it all on your own. Everyone is in awe as they realize that you were the one that took down this monster on your own.
The Ice Worm fight hits hard because it's generally crafted for one story. Even if you break that story and go without the stun needle, it replaces the drama with humor and still hits hard, just with a bit more hilarity.
@@janogabor7697 which one did he get tho. there's a three way gang bang and there's a 1v1 which is way cooler.
@@Padlock_Stevethe gangbang is ng+ only
My jaw dropped at the cutscene after the fight. Thanks to work and real life stuff, I'm still on my first run of the game I've been not looking anything up beyond how to get the 3 different endings. So I don't know any specifics with what's going on with the story and I did not expect what we learned in that cutscene.
I like the fight with Yhorm because it's important to Siegward and I like having him there. The Festival was very "meh" to me. He took me just 4 attempts to beat and wasn't all that difficult. The buildup to it was nice, but I didn't have any emotional investment in the fight or any real attachment to it. Beyond summoning Patches just so I could see him nope away from the fight, lol. Elden Ring's story in general is a lot less engaging for me than FromSoftware's other games.
I can just imagine how large the Strider is, considering how even in the game it is simply colossal. I don't know if it's larger than the Ice Worm, but it surely looks like it is.
If planted north to south in Elden Ring's map, I suspect its hind legs would be in Limgrave while the Eye would be somewhere over Leyndell or north Altus
It might not be much longer than the worm but it's FAR more massive.
@@Ferromancer86 I feel like they mention at some point that the Strider is over a kilometer long (not 100% certain, I may be misremembering) so it certainly wouldn't be far off
And its a MINING mech!
It is easy to imagine how his huge buckets and drills dig out and sift literally all Land Between for several hours, leaving a one huge pit and lot of neat containers with resources.
Imagine making the Strider an entire map for Elden Ring
The Ice Worm bridging the gap between two fortresses feels like something right out of Kenshi.
If you think the iceworm is big, wait till you see the spirit of motherwill and the answerer.
pretty sure NEXTs are much larger than AC6's ACs as well
@blahblahboii they arent, all ACs aside from fifth gens, which are around five meters tall, are in the ten meter tall height group. Nexts just feel like actual machines opposed to VI where its literally the edlen ring character rig with an AC skin.
@@thomasleonard8550 Nah, the AC6 models feel more in line with how ACs looked back in gen 1-3. In VI you actually feel more restrained by natural limitations like energy, overheating weapons, being more grounded, which make it feel more machina-like. Gen 4 went a bit too gundam/anime with its mech designs and gameplay feel and making it insanely easy to bypass those natural mechanical quirks with stuff like near infinite energy recharge and constant flying and far too easy to achieve blistering speeds which made them feel more like jet planes than a big huge suit of mechanical armor.
I have a recurring dream that I'm working on a roof somewhere (I'm in HVAC), and I turn around to see an impossibly huge giant coming over the horizon, dwarfing everything, making physics a joke. It's not quite a nightmare, but it does make my heart race.
The moral of the story here is that when magic doesn't cut it, start building giant robots
You mean to tell me that I didn't have to throw my favorite kindle waifu off a cliff to burn the Erdtree and just easily could've done it with a Bad Cook?
Dammit Melina, I told you to listen to me!
lol i never even thought about getting killed by a repair crab in AC, but in Elden Ring these guys could easily rekt me so many times over
The Filter Copter living up to its name with its size, probably solos and filters the entirety of the soulsborne franchise too.
“For a more practical demonstration” *blots out the sun*
It's an Alaskan Bull Worm.
*”It was big!!! And pink!!! And it was aaaaaall wiggly!!!”*
Something that constantly made the Ice Worm feel uncanny to me is how despite being 100% mechanical, its segments having a somewhat blocky and artificial shape, and having drills entirely in the place of legs or a face, its actual behavior and habits look and feel organic and very animalistic, which is clearly due to being piloted by a sentient living energy resource (and also likely because it’s a Dune reference). This makes for an interesting take on the Killer-Robot-Worm boss when compared to other video games, such as Terraria or Metal Slug, where in they would just engage the player immediately upon deployment like the ruthless war machines they are. But this absolute Chonker of a Mecha-Worm is much larger (and potentially more terrifying) than either of those examples combined, even if it’s not nearly as bloodthirsty.
"Size can honestly sometimes be a challenge"
Yes, yes it can.
Amazing work, and holy shit!!! They did the scale for AC 6 justice and to a superb quality.
This reminds me of Armored Core For Answer. The boss "Spirit of Motherwill" was also a true NPC. The entire thing moved, instead of being an "attackable background." It's size was as long and even wider than the Strider from AC6.
don't forget how much bigger NEXTs are, too. Spirit of Motherwill would probably take up a third of ER's map. Absolutely massive
Iirc, Arms Forts are known as walking cities, so not surprising.
@@valorune NEXTs are 10m tall just like the AC6 mechs
@@kerbodynamicx472 yeah I just looked it up, you're right. Spirit of Motherwill is still massive lol
I bet there were people who were surprised that the Motherwill can actually cause a mission failure if you allowed it to just walk away from the battlefield.
I think it's incredible how those madman actually model all their stuff in the same scale. I mean it's probably practical from a design point, but still, just the opportunity to import bosses from a giant robot game into your dark fantasy game is mind-blowing.
Seeing that huge rail gun light up on the horizon was one of my most wow gaming moments ever. There's just something so epic about it.
The ice worm itself could be a whole dungeon.
okay can we talk about how gargantuanly huge the Heavy Attack """Helicopter""" is
holy shit that things the size of a office building how tf does it fly
I now feel a little bit foolish for looking at those repair drones and calling them "cute little guys".
That thing is the size of a gazebo.
I find it hilarious the SG Helicopter is the size of an apartment complex.
When the average soldier is piloting a walking battle mech, even the helis and tanks have to be bigger to match
@@0uttaS1TE Most helis and tanks are normal size, that's why they are the lowest of low canon fodder.
@@0uttaS1TE Oddly there are no tanks that are scaled up in the same manner unless you classify the Cataphract & Juggernaut as tanks.

@@lIllIlllIlIllIlllIlIllIlllIl I do classify them as such, given that they're weapons platforms on tank treads
After what feels like years of size comparison videos, I've come to the realization that Zullie is simply a size queen
That gigantic helicopter, with a prop as big as a runway, a cockpit that can fit a mech, and highly doubt even air-liftable, is the most un-scientific object but nobody ever blinked an eye.
A huge TBM with a worm body, and everyone loses their mind.
Thank you so much for these videos, they always fill me with joy! Your choice of music and presentation comes to me as a simple, innocent sense of being amazed at the little (or big) things. So good.
Intercontiental Railcannon
Even when I heard the words in the briefing I couldn't grasp it. Next thing I know, I see a sunrise over the horizon and a roar of energy. "He's shooting from across the planet!??!" The silence before the slap then the near instant travel of the shot.
I'd be cool to have a DLC mission with Rusty, realize he's using the power output of a city to charge a single cannon....then GOES OVER the limiters
This makes me wonder just how massive is the Strider?? I bet it is bigger than limgrave
Oh damn I didn't even think about that, damn thing might take up half *or more* of the map, considering even the worm looks tiny next to it.

Great and calm editing. Always fun to be aware of scales in games
Those 'tiny' repair crabs in AC6 are as big as Giant Crabs, lmfao
im fascinated by FromSoft's ability in making everything as detailed as possible and yet still makes the game works and even better in ac6!
the textures in these models are insane!!!
I keep forgetting that in AC6 you are not the size of a person, but are the size of a small house. Seeing how big the Ice Worm really is just scares me now, because it is basically a drilling skyscraper that is basically indestructible
The serpent is secretly piloting it, maybe
As an engineering major trying to get better at programming (and formerly interested in game dev) I just love channels like these that dig up game assets and characters models for comparison, to find new lore, deleted sections., etc.
Yes, these things are pretty simple if you know how, but it's absolutely fascinating, mind-boggling and delightful for a luddite like me to watch. Maybe one day I'll learn how. Keep up the good work!
Zulie: So I brought the most dangerous thing I've encountered in from soft's many universes into elden ring
Radagon: You what.
Marika: YOU WHAT!?!?
Gwyn: Hahaha.
It's incredible that they managed to transfer that grotesque, atrocious design of enemies from previous souls games in to armored core
If the worm is that big just imagining the structures that reach Into to the sky and the wires far above that just make my brain hurt. And the fact that there are gaurd rails everywhere, so it's like they intended these structures to be actually crossed by people :O OOOOUGGGGHHHHHH MY HEAD HURTS
yeah ! the sheer scale of this game is mindblowing
I'm so glad your doing AC6. I've really missed your content, and this one was classic Zullie. Thanks for being such a great a part of the community
IN A FAR FAR FUTURE:
Damn, this castle in Elden Ring sure is hard.
Let me port my AC here, One second....
"KAY MAGGOTS TIME TO DIE!!"
It is easy to forget that we are driving giant mechs around in aC6.
this really puts things into perspective given that we were fighting in a large mecha.
... though i wonder, if this worm is 1.3km long.....
what would it look like if we could port motherwill from AC4A into elden ring. that thing is listed as 2.4km, though the in-game model might not be accurate
Heck the cradles were downsized to a 1/10th scale lmao
@@DanzIndz1/10th? motherwill might be downsized too then, at least to some degree
@@aze0012 Yeah, the artbook suggests that NEXTs are just a little speck compared to cradles. There's no way the game model can host 20 million people at that size.
Gameplay wise, if they're at a 1/1 scale, it'll be a nightmare to play *that* mission. Going from point A to point B would take forever. Plus the map is going to be too big for PS3/XB hardware to handle.
This is insane, yeah, but I really wanna see the size of the STRIDER in comparison to something. It’s easily bigger than the Worm, and I believe one of the biggest enemies to ever exist.
0:10 never realized how much this thing looks the BNK-3R from borderlands 2
Can’t wait for the videos type “ can I beat armored core 6 as the tarnished?”
before the dragons, but not before the moonlight, Fromsoft were the kings and queens of Mechanical Monsters which could only exist in an engineer's nightmares. If the Worm and the Grinderwheels don't show that much, or the older enemies of previous titles, then I don't know what would lmao
AC6 protag: i got this. Nothing a little level grinding wont solve.
Tarnished: great gods above, take me now before i perish wickedly
now i need to know the size of the strider from chapter 1
Imagine being on the train in lost planet 2 and seeing this thing come out of the sand.
Can you compare the Erdtree to the giant, atmosphere reaching, "vascular" buildings from AC6?
The hubris of man creates monsters that surpass even the greatest of natural beasts.
The detailing on those drill bits is quite impressive, considering how infrequently you'll actually look at it. But From actually put in the effort to show how the drills haven't been maintained after, what, half a century?
Makes you wonder why we bothered shooting at it with a bunch of experimental superweapons rather than wait a week for its drill teeth to snap off. :D
@@eclipserepeater2466 Probably because its not going to snap off anytime soon. If that thing survived the Fires of Ibis, those teeth aren't falling off anytime soon.
@@pillarmenn1936 I mean, probably right. Maybe it can self-repair to a degree, that would be in character with C-weapons as ancient weapons designed to defend rubicon in perpetuity. But you could imagine that it's spent the decades since the Fires mostly dormant beneath the earth without maintenance, slowly rusting, and now that it's been activated again it will damage itself.
I can't wait to see AC6 and Elden Ring to be modded into eachother
I liked how impossibly big the vascular plant was. It looked so big there's no way the entire planet had the raw material needed to build it and it probably offset the planets center of gravity with its weight
Nah that shot just looking up at the Iceworm was rad, never realized how big they made these models
Never really felt it was THAT BIG, but I guess that's only natural when you're gigantic yourself
Does make me wonder how bit the STRIDER is tho
It did FEEL more massive than the worm
Its almost the size of the erdtree
I love going around on missions and seeing how small stuff looks compared to my AC. My AC isn't even all that big itself since I'm using the lightweight reverse joint legs and, thus, smaller weapons, so I'm not even rocking legs that would make me look even bigger. I did try the tetrapod legs for the Ice Worm, but I didn't not get along with them at all. I did laugh at seeing them in the cutscene at the start, because they made my AC look like it was a centaur, lol.
@@lordanonimmo7699 it's probably even bigger than the erdtree considering that even our 10 meters tall AC looks tiny compared to the strider

Man I love the absurdity of the future. Literal kilometer and 380 meters of steel, wiring and alloys. So much recourses. This is probably bigger than pyramids. I mean we have mountains carving blocks out is not a big deal, but winding so much metal is a bit hard
This raises a lot of interesting questions for me like:
1) are the background infrastructure assets to scale i.e. if you port a tarnished into AC would the staircases and human sized infrastructure be accurate/navigable?
2) exactly how big is the battlefield of the Ice Worm fight in comparison to the Radahn fight, arguably the biggest boss arena in Elden Ring. Would it take up like 1/4 to 1/2 the map of Elden Ring?
Probably not, the cars and helicopters already seem a bit off in AC6.
Yes,the infrastructures assets are accurate to scale,they are roughly accurate to a human sized model to navigate on it,with some being bigger or larger and not everything translating 100% well but good enough.
Man I loved the ice worm fight, got actual goosebumps when I got to the shots from Rusty, especially the final one where his coms cut off
I'm so so eager to see someone put the Tarnished into Armored Core 6 and see if we can just walk around the maps like a normal person. Looking up at the scale of it all.
Go find it, someone already made it
Considering an arms fort is supposed to be a walking city AC games have always had a taste for insanely huge enemies.
Now imagine how big Line Ark would be in Elden Ring...
Fighting a giant worm in the snow on a planet with a large corporate interest due to it's one of a kind valuable resource while using mechs?
Feels like Lost Planet sometimes.
As 'gimmicky' as the fight was (Stun Needle), Rusty's teamwork on the rail gun shots were always mega satisfying, especially his 3rd shot!
In fairness, FS in recency has done many gimmick fights. So this is on par or better than their other gimmicky fights. Cause the "gimmick weapon" you get, stun needle, is actually viable in any scenario than something like storm rule or sepeent slayer in their respective bosses
"Engaging maximum power output! 90...95...100...110...115..." *Ice Worm breaks the surface* "All or nothing!"
Hey Zullie, odd request but could you make a gif of 1:58 with that background? Holy hell I'd love to have that for Wallpaper Engine!
Well, now we've got to see how big the STRIDER is
Very cool vidya as always
The ice worm is just straight up a weapon of terror. Holy crap. If that thing gets unleashed anywhere on earth the amount of carnage that would happen would harrowing.
That thing would be causing earthquakes left and right and no amount of nukes are gonna stop that thing
Please do a size comparison for the other bosses next. I'm just sitting here at 0:00 in awe at the size of that AH-12 helicopter, like for real those rotors should *not* be able to lift this chonky boi 🤣🤣
Fromsoft: In this game, you will ride around in a giant 10 stories mech.
Me: Wow, that'd make everything around me smaller.
Fromsoft: about that.....
Just did the measurements, and for those curious, the STRIDER is just over 1,540 meters long. The main reason the Ice Worm looks so big in this size comparison is that it's completely straight out when it's usually seen folded a million different ways in the game. On the other hand, though, the Strider is 670 meters tall, so it's still enormously larger in terms of mass. (I spent too darn much time with measurements)
"I won't miss!"
I'd be surprised if you did Rusty, now knowing how absolutely huge the Ice Worm is lol
I actually would love to see the strider, the PCA ship, or even Xylem, or maybe other bosses with the tarnished looking at them just to see the sheer size of all those things
Jesus H. Christ those repair crabs are MASSIVE
Please keep up the great work with Armored Core content, these videos are amazing
nothing better than comparing lengths.
this is amazing
also imagine being a kilometre long being that would be insane
The fact that they accomplished this in the game engine is awesome. I'm so used to floating-point precision errors being a common theme in other games and my own learning projects.
I was so waiting for this video 👍Can you also put the Strider into ER after this? Would be awesome to see it from the human POV
I feel like Strider might break the skybox if you try to squeeze it into ER map, lol
You only start to realize when you see them in other games how freaking HUGE everything is down to the "little" repair crabs and that's impressive
