Gideon will also use Comet Azur if you don't get it from the Primeval Sorcerer yourself in Sellen's quest line. What do you think of Gideon? (P.S. Do you like what happens to him in the convergence mod?)

*Str users mid jump attack* : I like your funny words magic man!

this is what makes using Frenzy incantations on him so satisfying. The one magic he couldn't/wouldn't learn

For someone with the name All-Knowing he definitely didn't see us ramming a giant weapon up his ass and tossing him aside like a wet noodle. Its ironic that the one time he actually does something himself he's a complete pushover. A well deserved fate for such a person.

“Ah i knew you would come, to stand before the elden ri-“ “I know in my bones”

I like to imagine that while waiting for us Gideon met Godfrey and started monologuing but immediately stopped when he realized he wasn't us and let him through because he got scared. Something like: "ah, I knew you'd co... Oh hello sir, no believe me I wasn't talking to you I thought you were someone else, please allow me to clear out of the way"

remember,his first dialogue to us is "you may let your guard down"

Gideon: uses everything he has scavenged from all the bosses we killed my frenzied ass about to hug him to death: 🔥👄🔥

Gideon’s abilities are tied to your conversations with him. If you tell him nothing, he learns nothing.

I like Gideon. One of my favourites. On my fist playthrough I played as a faith/intellegents mage so i could use every spell i picked up. And I practically combed the whole game, exploring every landmark and dungeon as well as killing every boss and miniboss to try and find every quest character and lore significant item in the game, while brutally murdering anything on my way with my magnificent spells. So a NPC that sought knowlege and traded it for new spells seemed pretty cool to me; only to end up faceing him in the end, both of us armed with powerful, high stat spells. So yeah, Gideon just ended up as a mirror to my first character and thats all very cool.

I don’t think we get to judge Gideon for breaking into the bosses homes, stealing their things and looting their corpses. We basically do just that but we add murder charges on top of everything else.

he is like patches' smarter older brother. where patches points to a hole then immediately kicks you into it hoping to get your loot, gideon points to a hole and waits for you to build a ladder and kill the baddies inside it hoping to get the loot you missed

Amazing how much detail they put into a boss that's going to spend 90% of the fight on the ground.

Fun fact: if you learn Comet Azur, he will NOT use it during the fight, but he will if you haven't got it during Sellens questline. I like to imagine that Azur only bestowed the knowledge to one worthy person, and it's either you or Gideon armed with the spoils of all of your accomplishments.

Ahh. That's what triggers Ensha's invasion! Never realised

He isn't the wise owl. He's the scheming vulture, soaring high above watching and waiting for his food to die so he can scavenge the corpses.

Gideon the all-spamming Gideon the all-stalking Gideon the all-copying Gideon the all-fp

Had no idea he had all those moves. He was dead the second he stopped talking for me

he only gets the spells if you tell him where the hidden demi gods are. it's a trade off. you want his spells you basically gotta tell him where their spells are

For all knowing, he sure didn’t see the giant bonk coming during his monologue.

Gideon the copy ninja. You cant see it, but he must have a sharingan somewhere.

Patches would be proud, but also thrilled to kill him I imagine.

At least patches acknowledges being a thief, Gideon parades around like he owns the place

He makes Patches look honest.

i never knew he could get malenias spells too since i never beat her before fighting the final boss lol

Me personally I didn’t see any of his spell cause I rocked his shit too quick

There’s little doubt in my mind that Sir Gideon Ofnir, The All-Knowing goes to where you killed the bosses to study them for a bit but he definitely doesn’t do it to learn their sorceries/incantations You tell him the sorceries/incantations yourself and he gladly listens.

I haven't seen any of his spells I've always just ended his lease in life before he finishes talking

He was my gossip buddy 😂😂 and personally his fight was fun like bruh you are using a fraction of the power of the people i had to fight at 100% power

Comparing him to hyenas is an insult to hyenas.

I was playing Elden ring when it came out but I was off and on cause I was busy at the time and just catching up when I could and I remember a KZfaq short like a month after it released and it was captioned something like “it’s your 30 play through of Elden ring” and it’s with a modded move set he sprints at him and decks him in the face with a kick beats the F**k outta him then runs to the next boss I’ve never been in such stitches laughing in my life

When I fought him on my first play through I went after dragons and just used the same stuff they did was pretty fun stun locking him and giving him rot with the breath attack as well as the claw attack

Sir Gideon, the Rat

He needs "HELP!"

And due to his thieving we do the honorable thing and steal the still beating heart from his body

Im 100% sure that Gideon only learns the attacks from bosses if you speak to him after you encounter them. So basically if you never speak to him he cant learn any attacks and will be heavily nerfed during his encounter

Gideon is one of my favorite characters actually, i love his fight

Gideon the copycat-ninja of the stealingan

Says the guy using a +10 mimic, rivers of blood and giant's flame take thee

"I knew you-" LOOK INTO MY EYES!!

all that just to get two shot by inescapable frenzy

sir gideon ofnir; who knows some stuff

Still he says - I need help 💀

“I have the highest IQ of all Reddit” - Gideon Ofnir

gideon is such a cool character and clearly pretty important, it would have been cool if he was a tougher boss or if he showed more of a role throughout, i like him either way tho

Damn that’s rly cool, I’m gonna try fighting him at an appropriate level to get the full boss experience

Hes basically a vulture. Scavengin the corpses left behind

I didn’t know that Gideon only used the spells of bosses you’ve beaten that’s actually really interesting and really pieces together his character

Thank you! For whatever reason i could not figure out what the eye surcoats were related to but now i do. Thanks

that’s so cool i never even thought about us affecting his spells

hes all knowing not all fighting, he looted their homes and corpses to gain more knowledge on spells and lore

Here in Spain we say "Gideon putero estafador" and I think that's beautiful

Also, his mace’s weapon art particle looks like the outline of a black hole, for that is what he is; absorbing knowledge and power for its own sake, and giving nothing in return whilst sucking the light and life from those around him.

man is a budget mimic tear... i never knew

Hey don’t talk shit on us hyenas.

Never thought id see the day I could witness crazy mercy gameplay. Good shit lmao

Still a great fight in my opinion

I didn’t know that about the boss powers. Pretty cool

Bro got that sharingan

I wasn't aware of his spells changing depending on who you beat! Despite being such a hyena, this is lorewise, really interesting

Dang, it's almost like the renowned wizard is learning spells

I really didn’t know how he fights I always just run up while he talks and fuck him up

My absolute favourite character from game ❤

"i knew you'd come" you'd also know this giant crucher is boutta turn you into a pancake😂😂

I loved how when we first travel to Roundtable hold he starts showing off calling the tarnished mere guest and will only accept him as equal after he shows him a great tune. My first question would be something like: first show me how many great tunes you have grandpa? What, none? Then FO plox, Ty 😂

Work smarter, not harder

I never even knew he stole spells, I always end up destroying him on every playthrough

For a person calling himself all knowing he really didn't know to stop talking when he saw me running towards him with my giant hammer

I wouldn't call him thieving... Because his "quest" is asking us to share knowledge of what we know bout them after he tell about them a little 😅

And yet, Sir Gideon is still the best character in the game

Doesn’t know what’s going on in the shadow realm though, does he? See all this new stuff I’ve got, Gideon, and you can’t use it

Ok I loved his character how he was pulling the strings all alone but man this could have been one of the coolest bosses fromsoft has made if he came at us with abilities from every boss we defeated. He even had that mechanic but man the memes of him just getting yoinked out of the fight are spot on they did my man dirty.

If we killed the bosses for him cause he couldn’t. Why tf does he do so much dmg?

L gideon

I never knew that. Amazing mechanic and detail that genuinely change and enhance the incredibly short fight.

That fight lasted like 30 seconds when I went to say hi to him.

Gideon has the sharingan.

He will only have the bosses spells if you tell him about them and get his rewards in the Roundtable Hold. You can still get the rememberance's but just dont tell Gideon.

"And, Sir Gideon Ofnir, THE ALL-SPAMMING!!!"

"I know a thousand Jutsu and now I WILL USE THEM ALL !"

SIR GIDEON OFNIR THE ALL THEIVING is actually a pretty badass name

"Sit on him Smough"

I'd argue that it _is_ wisdom to know when to avoid a foe, when to learn from said foe, when to get someone else to deal with a problem you cannot, and when you cannot afford to flee, even if it means death.

Man literally let's us set up a whole ass one shot while he's sitting there monologuing. No wonder that frail pringle made us do his dirty work.

There was a owl/vulture comparison dichotomy, and you decided to go for hyena...

His boosfight is a genius concept, but I leveled up so much to defeat Malenia that I had to spare him to hear the last of his speech

“Ah, I knew you’d steal”

And more than anything... he stole my heart ♥

Loved the keeping an eye joke haha

there are times that he drops the social mask and does talk of betraying the player. i remember hearing it and going "woah there buddy might not want to say that outlough"

All these spells.. And yet you can barely put dirt on my boots, Ofnir

I just grabbed him with that one Frenzied Flame attack and he died IMMEDIATELY, dude underestimated just how much side content I'd done by that point.

On my first playthrough he seemed like a good guy

Beat him in less than 20 seconds, didn’t even give him a chance to finish his speech. 👌

He watches you beat the most dangerous creatures in the Lands Between to a bloody pulp, knowing he couldn't. He then turns around and wants to fight the one that beat the ones he couldn't even think of beating 😂

That's why he is called Sir Gideon Ofnir the All coping.

Bro is the CIA

Sir Gideon loots the spells to read their item descriptions 👀

It was probably those dung scarab thingies that stole the spells for him. They often drop AOWs, sorceries and incantations out in the world. They probably picked them off the bodies of fallen warriors.

I still love how Ofnir only truly gets involved near the end, and actually thinks he stands even remotely a chance against us. Like, bro, you legit watched us clap every single demigod, why would you think YOU even stand a chance?
