<a href="#" class="seekto" data-time="130">2:10</a>: - What is he doing? - He's beginning to believe.

It's the first time i have seen him keep up with a boss rather than screaming and crying.

I am gonna be honest I expect anti climatic silly joke. But was blown away by an epic battle.

You understand the trully meaning of a love letter to a videogame boss, when the author does not make his usual funny sketch with jokes, but full drama fight

I think I'm gonna cry, our lil tarnished is all grown up and dodging water foul..

Malenia actually teaches you two very important things in her fight. 1: She is Malenia 2: She is the Blade of Miquella

A lot of people have pointed out how epic this episode is. I share their views, but I'd like to point out exactly what it is that makes this one in particular hit home so hard: It is an actual fight. A genuine, honest to god fight. We have seen our tarnished achieve victory before. We have seen him exploit weaknesses, we have seen him come out on top in both desperate and extremely silly ways. And we have also seen him flail around, screaming and dying, while trying to come up with some desperate gambit to turn it all around. But we have never seen him stand his ground and FIGHT. I think it's fitting that it took Malenia of all bosses to bring this out in him. There's something about her pride, her fury, and her relentless straightforward raw skill that forces anyone who fights her long enough to square up and put everything on the line. A fine display, tarnished. Now prepare to witness true horror. :3

<a href="#" class="seekto" data-time="130">2:10</a> pure epicness with Metal Gear Solid music🥶🥶

Came for the comedy, stayed for the plain epicness.

Did he... Did he just... DODGE WATERFOWL DANCE?!

This is a masterpiece. Your animation of 3D space as the tarnished was dodging her waterfowl dance was freaking gorgeous, so smooth and yet so dang frantic. I can't wait for next week! (also, all the respect to the Prisoner for pulling an epic save out of nowhere)

I legitimately could not hold tears back from the epicness and i was so proud of him actually dodging most of her attacks!

This is the part of the anime where the hero who's been all comedy up until now has to get serious.

this is the most serious episode I've ever seen on your channel

OK my jaw dropped at how epically animated the waterfowl section was

Melania's shadow at <a href="#" class="seekto" data-time="121">2:01</a> turning into the grim reaper is SUCH a cool detail that didn't go unnoticed

<a href="#" class="seekto" data-time="130">2:10</a> the dodge animation is so good

<a href="#" class="seekto" data-time="120">2:00</a> The animation of those water fowl dodges are chefs kiss. Truly does it justice.

who else repeated the fight scene more than once? wow, it was just amazing. keep it up bro. You and your team are doing something truly wonderful for us. from the bottom of every elden ring fan. thank you

The animation in this one is really top tier. Everything from the falling leaves, to the 3d fight scene. Well done!

Can we take a moment to pay respects for the prisioner summon that sacriffice herself to save her host?

honestly, playing the fight straight instead of silly jokes and just doing some legitimately great action animation was probably the best choice of how to portray this after all the build up. also its not every day that carbot genuinely gets to show off as animators, but i mean, when you make little cartoons on youtube for over 10 years, you're going to get good at it.

See this, Hollywood? That's what quality content looks like!

Absolute peak cinema, no joke. especially the waterfowl dance and the swap to dual wield right after. too good man.

The details on this... Frenzy caster getting picked off first after launching a single-hit spell (which Malenia is coded to always dodge) because he made the first attack and triggered agro... Prisoner still having no helm, keeping with continuity, shield charging to stagger and throwing away her shield to two-hand her spear, then gets grab animation'd... And the main boy putting his full strength build to use with not just Lion's Claw ash of war, but Dual Hammers!! And dodging Waterfowl!?? This is 100% meeting my high expectations.

Not gonna lie, I shed a tear when he started to keep up with her attacks. It reminded me of when I started to keep up with her attacks after the 100th attempt and the close call losses and win.

The subtle quick eye glowing just before atking the boss was a wonderful touch-up following up with her swiftly dodging it, was such a smooth transition. Been a fan since ER First came out, and loved every video of it and more. Thank you carbot for being an wonderous and amazing animator and editor to these amazing and great videos you put out

<a href="#" class="seekto" data-time="110">1:50</a> sacrified herself and saved the guy, moment made me eyes wet...

I love how the Tarnished doesn't stumble and fumble as much here. You meet Malenia very late in the game by which time you are already a pretty experienced player. She still schools you, but you are no longer terrified of a challenge.

<a href="#" class="seekto" data-time="57">0:57</a> That Frodo scream was on point 😂

Love this. Genuinely one of my favourite animated battle scenes in a while. Been following the whole series and can’t wait for the next part

It was a fitting change of pace to leave out the humour and show our heroes being dead serious. The soundtrack is superb and the waterfowl dance sequence truly is the work of professionals. Thank you for this absolute GoaT so far, Carbot!

This was absolutely beautiful, got goosebumps when the music blared as he started dodging waterfall dance. Its amazing how Carbot can go from silly to epic in the blink of an eye, and it feels completely natural and earned. All our tribulations thus far have prepared our tarnished for this very moment!

Love the Prisoner coming in with the Shield Crash body check to steal aggro away from the host and onto herself, that is what it means to be a summon, sometimes you just gotta go "nope, host is more important, hey boss, over here!" even if it doesn't do much in the end.

<a href="#" class="seekto" data-time="149">2:29</a> That battle cry when he pulled out the dual great hammers!!! I screamed so loud!!! YESSSS!

Man, I love this game. I love the passion it spawns. I really hope we see the guy go through the DLC too. People have such a connection to the experience - its real cathartic to watch this and be like "yeah that was me". I love this series.

Holy smoke, our boy the tarnished dodged the water fowl attack, that was amazing.

that adrenaline kicking in after his friends died. He could solo her

Got to Malenia today for the first time and after celebrating my victory on the first try(didn't know about the second phase tho) this video is just perfect! When I first dodged her Waterfowl dance later it felt epic just like the scene from this video. Now everytime I try her I will play this theme in the background. I loved all the videos so far but this is a masterpiece..just beautiful. Cheers and keep going.

So this is where the Carbot budget went. Every zergling plushie we ever bought is here on display

Did you just give me several chills? Chills, like *actual* chills. How the hell did you do that?! This reminds me of DBZ Abridged, a show that basically turned every line into a joke, and yet when Gohan went SSJ2, they played it 100% serious and totally stuck the landing. This is how you amuse & endear a fanbase and respect them at the same time. Damn, Carbot, you put the frickin' work in, didn't you? Genuinely stoked to see the conclusion!

"You've got to stop Peace Walker, before she can lauch her nuke!"

This is the best animation I’ve seen on this channel so far! Good stuff, keep it up!

This perfectly depicts ones countless attempt on Malenia, but already mastering the fight near victory.

<a href="#" class="seekto" data-time="123">2:03</a> The shadow being the grim reaper is such a cool touch. Great video!

It's been two years, but Carbot finally got around to Melania and it was beautiful. 😢

I love how the main character died and became so stressed he went bald compared to the first few episodes 😂

and remember this is the same person who used to panic roll on the wall during Godrick fight XD

I know it'll probably take like a thousand years *_BUT I AM SO EXCITED FOR THE_* "Bayle is Easy!" *_VIDEO_*

Goddamn, that turned into an absolute High-tier anime fight right there.

Absolutely amazing. Best episode so far. Been looking forward to this since the series started and yall knocked it out of the park.

As a character and as a community I have never been more proud of the growth.... amazing work! He has come so far 😢

Prisoners last stand to help the host at <a href="#" class="seekto" data-time="100">1:40</a> - Beautiful !

It’s striking to me, just how much of an underrated talent Carbot is. This is seriously excellent cinematography and writing here! My favorite part: when Malenia is rising and the shadow she casts over our hero resembles the grim reaper with her scythe. Beautifully done!

One of the most epic Elden Ring media peices I've seen. Bravo

The whole time I was screaming "Drink your Estus Flask" lol great video!

Im so proud of the little fella. The waterfowl was animated so well. A lot of effort was put into it. Well done.

I like how you guys respect this boss fight. Almost no jokes, just badassary. Very cool animation!

I was waiting for "Let me solo her" to clash with her blade at the last possible moment and look down at our tarnished and say "Hey, you did really great! But Why don't you let me take care of the rest?" And then epic anime style fight goes down where the animation gets cranked up to 11!

That was unironically an epic animated fight bravo!

Finally ! It’s here !!! Let the „I have never known defeat“ begin !

Man, watching The Guy go on the offensive in the funny Elden Ring Parody actually gave me shivers, and got more attention from me than any big budget film has for the last two years. Thats some character progression right there.

You took visual effects and camera work to another level . Well done , greetings from Scotland

This is the most epic short animation skit I've seen in years! The music, the animation cycles, all of it, awesome!

HOLY FUCKING SHIT MAN the animation is soooooooo GOOD !

That rotating shot was godly animation fair play! Loved every single second, and feel so proud for the little guy! His confidence is growing with every fight! Love it!!!

This is why I subscribed to this channel. These occasional epic, serious moments amongst the sea of slapstick.

How the heck is this comedic cartoon channel that I follow going SO HARD?!?! This episode is sick!

I cant wait for the DLCs 1st episode to be an exact repeat of ep.1. Microwave included.

Carbot is generally the funny animations guy, but when he wants to pop off my god does he pop off.

the metal gear solid soundtrack hyping the waterfowl dance was awesome!

this epic battle is better than every fight scene since 1999 in movies. thanks.

The Peace Walker theme blended perfectly with the battle,awesome stuff

MY MAN HAS THE MOVES!!!! Also the fact that you made it epic yet still hilarious is awesome, and the dynamic of the fight was 100% spot on. Goes for the mage first, second summon gives their life in exchange for yours, and the final duel truly commences.

That was phenomenal CarBotAnimations, your whole team is doing a wonderful job with this series and it gets better and better by the day, love the animation and story of Guy, keep it up I’m loving it!

<a href="#" class="seekto" data-time="130">2:10</a> When the music kicks in ❤

Our tarnished is going toe to toe with Malenia 😢 This gave me goosebumps, thanks for the awesome videos, always makes my day

As much as I miss the excellent humour these videos are usually chalked with I think it was for the best that they played this one completely straight not only because of how damn epic and exhilarating it feels to play, especially the process of getting better and better with each consecutive attempt, but the fact that playing it straight and epic can ensure they not only meet our expectations after all the hype but end up actually EXCEEDING THEM. And also HOLY CRAP THE ANIMATION IS SO GOOD WTF GREAT JOB GUYS

This is like when a cartoon gets a movie and the animation is much more detailed. Bravo, that was great.

Carbot, man... That was brilliant. Truly a god damn spectacle. Bravo my dude and your team, BRAVO.

This is by far, the best animation made video on this channel. Don't get me wrong, the quality standard is usually at an amazing level. But this... this is perfect.

<a href="#" class="seekto" data-time="129">2:09</a> most epic single shot fight I've seen among all your works. animation, music, camera movement, sound effects... epic. thank you

Holy crap, man! Thaat was insane! Can't wait for the rest. I actually felt proud of the lil guy. Also the animation in the fight and the rotating shots? Chefs kiss. And the hammers destroying the floor. Tldr: das good stuff

I can only try to imagine how time consuming the creation this animation had to be. This is epic, incredible work!

We made it y’all!

You *DID NOT!* Have to go That Hard! Holy Shit! This might be The Most Serious Strongly Put Presentation I've Ever Seen!

This was epic! Can't wait for the next part I hope "Let me solo her" enters the stage.

BRUH. Outdid yourself with this one. Chef's kiss.

<a href="#" class="seekto" data-time="138">2:18</a> "he is starting to believe"

The animation and music is superb.

This got my blood pumping, Carbot, you guys are wonderful. Please keep doing what you're doing!

<a href="#" class="seekto" data-time="147">2:27</a> *YOUR STRENGTH,* *E X T R A O R D I N A R Y*

I did not want this to end. These clips need to be put into a full length movie so we can watch uninterrupted beauty!!

I have never met you but fell in love with your cartoons over a year ago and I gotta say I'm proud of how far you have come. The animation style is great. You're not afraid to try new things and it shows. Amazing. Looking forward to part two.

I thought Let me Solo her was gonna come in and Stop Malenia's blade with one finger in order to save the main hero. That would of been sick but the hero popping off was crazy too 😂😂

I just lost my job today and this is probably the best video I've seen today that's keeping my will to live afloat. Thanks Carbot. I appreciate your worjk

Carbot you fucking tease. I was expecting Malenia to be episode 3/3 then had to wait an extra week and now I have to wait another week again. God damn it. This was epic as fuck though, especially the part where the camera is panning through the waterfowl. I love the way the music synced with the attacks too. 10/10 next week can't come fast enough.

The animation and music is superb

Damn ! The animation ! It's so good ! Thanks for the video, it's so epic. Can't wait for the next one.

This Carbot, this is beautiful. *sobs*. The fight is exactly how I remember it. The PTSD of all your other attempts before trying her again, only to come out victorious. I can't believe how far the Tarnished has come.
