It’s funny you say that cause it took me till I had over 300 hours in the game to realize that. I used mostly a mix of faith based or arcane / bleed weapons for the first 300 hours. Moonveil, Rivers of Blood, Mohgs Spear, Godslayer Greatsword, Ancient Relic Sword, Nagakiba, Antspur Rapier. I could clear out the large majority of the game with ease before you reach Malikeith but once I got to him I always ran into trouble. Malikeith, Godfrey (both versions), and Elden Beast are of the few that I’ve never solo’ed so I’d just summon the mimic just to get it over with. After the last patch I started experimenting with every strength weapon I knew of and my lord do those weapons make those fights so much easier, Falling Star Beast Jaw is probably my favorite just cause I love the stagger potential and the lighting animation but Malikeith’s Black Blade and Envoys Longhorn are also fun to use. Long story short there’s not a one size fits all weapon or build in the game

Placidusax is one of my favorite bosses. His name is derived from the Latin Placidus, meaning peaceful/gentle/calm; we basically walked in while a dragon was sleeping/regenerating and killed him. If you inspect him closely the wings look ragged and there are scars everywhere. at 13:45 you can see a stump where a neck and head should be, then just after that around 13:50 when he rears up you can see 2 limp necks with missing heads(one is hanging down on our right, and one is wrapped under the arm on our left, pointing up). We fought him like 40% power if we're just talking head count, and that makes this fight all the more incredible to me. This Dragonlord was nowhere near full strength and still pulled out enough lightning to make Gwyn shiver; just imagine him at full strength.

@Debilinside2 жыл бұрын
I think it was partially a mistake. Most bosses are really aggressive and relentless, giving very small windows to heal or attack because the developers counted players using very powerful summons. Like Margit... If you summon the jellyfish, you can almost completely stunlock him with a decent weapon. (just spam charged heavy attack) So playing with no summons is kind of already a challenge mode. This is especially true for duo bosses. I have nothing against people imposing extra challenges on themselves, but doing so then claiming the game is insanely hard is kind of misleading. (not saying he complains at all, I can feel the true passion for the game).

My issue is that ashes make the fights too easy. Balancing around that many summons many of which are extremely strong is impossible so when I used them I first tried pretty much every boss without learning literally anything about them. The mimic tear specifically should probably just be removed from the game completely, or get 3/4 of its health removed along with the ability to use hotbar items and flasks. Not using them means dealing with some of the most bullshit fights from has ever made though, and I will NEVER do a no summon run again.

Hard agree. Mimic tear is TOO strong, fully upgraded mimic tear gets boss levels of health. On top of that the mimic can heal, dodge attacks, and spam weapon arts.

It amazes me how these bosses' difficulty seems to depend on the build. For the first 30 or so hours, I used a sorcerer/spellblade build and I didn't really run into many issues until I ran into Mogh. Mogh easily killed me 40 or so times before I called it quits and respec'd into a bleed build. I still then only just managed to beat him because I got the purifying tear. The only other boss that gave me issues aside from Mogh was Malenia. I first tried my Int build and she killed me 7 or so times before I had enough and I came back respec'd in a Bleed build with a fully upgraded Rivers of Blood. The weapon art on it absolutely punishes her when she leaves you openings and her phase 1 was pretty much a joke for it. Phase 2, on the other hand, yeah it took me a few more tries to beat her phase 2. I really did enjoy fighting Melania because it felt like a dance between two blade masters.

The interesting thing about Godskin Duo is that although killing one doesn't "do anything" because he respawns after a while, the respawn timer is long enough to allow you to kill or mostly kill the other one, as long as you play somewhat aggressive. So even though it's not my favorite fight mechanically, I admit that I like the concept a lot of rewarding aggression. Aside from the beginning which was tough, I seldom had to fight two of them at once after the first kill.

I'm someone that tends to learn fast. Bosses don't take me that long since i can kinda memorize their moveset early on and then it's just having patience until a good opening appears... Until Malenia. Jesus, i have NEVER suffered as much as i did with that attack. I forgot to keep a tally, but i'd say 70 deaths is a good guess. It got to a point where i could do a perfect battle just to perish at the Waterfowl Dance move. It was infuriating yet, the rest of the fight is so good (Both in moveset and overall ambience as well as music) so i just kept going (Stubborn as a mule) decided to beat her. I learned how to dodge it. I HAD TO LEARN HOW TO DODGE THE WATERFOWL DANCE "Let me solo her" STYLE. And you know what? that felt both horrible for making me go above and beyond conventional means to defeat a boss, but really rewarding when i finally pulled it off. Hands down the hardest boss in the series just for the healing on impact and Waterfowl Dance alone. Literally screamed so hard when i beat her my neighbours called me to see if i was doing ok.

Watching this and your "unbalanced difficulty" video really made me realize I had a lot more fun with the "easier" bosses. I felt accomplished when I beat them. Not because they were easy, but because they felt more fair. Bosses that instantly get out of an attack, leave no down time, and attack again are not fun. If some of the "easier" bosses had some more HP I think they would have been challenging but fair. The fact that most of these bosses almost require a summon if you want to beat them in less than 30 tries just feels wrong in a series that is about challenging, but fair, 1v1 fights. I died dozens of times to some of these "harder" bosses before summoning others. The result was usually that we would get much closer to a win due to the aggro being split. Winning after summoning 10 different people did not give me that sense of accomplishment, because it felt like I had to summon or waste an entire weekend on the boss. I never felt the need to summon in any other Souls game, rather summoning in those games felt like a way to just beat the boss faster if I wanted to get to a certain item/spell/whatever. Also I personally dislike how many bosses are bigger than my screen. I died so many times because I could not see the boss attack because their arm was off my screen. You can use sleep jars on the Godskin Duo boss. I did not know those items existed until I looked at the Duo's Wiki page. Personally I would not rank them that high if you use those items.

@Appl3forPFP2 жыл бұрын
More in-depth advice for Malenia since I know I wouldn’t have minded knowing these things when I fought her: Malenia is weak to bleed and fire. As such, Rivers of Blood is an excellent weapon for Dex/Arcane builds like myself. Strength/Quality Build, just use Bloodflame Blade, I guess, because I’m not aware of a comparable weapon. Bleed/Bloodfire/Godskin incantations such as Swarm of Flies, Bloodboon, and Black Flame are also highly recommended. For non-magic builds, whatever arrows/bolts/throwing weapons you can find to accomplish the same effect are fine, just watch that stamina and be careful not to leave yourself open.. She’s also weak to Frostbite, so builds with the ability to use that effect will also have an easier time than those without. Her semi-instakill Vergil copycat combo, while incredibly dangerous, can be mitigated if you book it to the furthest possible point from her as quickly as possible. She’ll likely still get at least one hit in, but most builds with an at least decent amount of HP (~1000) should be able to survive. You can also dodge it if your brain isn’t an under-inflated beachball, but godspeed you on getting that timing down. Parrying her, while possible, isn’t really recommended since only every third parry is viable for a reposte. The other two will trigger a backstep instead. The Scarlet Aeonia (scarlet rot flower) she uses at the start of her second health bar and several times thereafter is *very* exploitable for ranged attacks *cough* swarmofflies *cough* dragonice *cough* due to its stupidly long recovery, so just book it to the left and behind her, then let loose. Her Scarlet Rot Shadow Clone Jutsu is extremely annoying and the clones probably last longer than you’re thinking they do, so just try not to have her use that attack. If she does, just do your best to dodge their swipes and thrusts while keeping an eye on Malenia for her dropdown attack. Her False Yamato combo gains a Scarlet Rot effect, as if she used a Rotten Grease on her sword, but it’s largely the same attack as her first phase. Just make sure to watch that Scarlet Rot bar. For Mixed Physick, I recommend Speckled Hardtear and Crimson Crystal Tear. Crimson Crystal Tear because no duh, Speckled Hardtear because Scarlet Rot isn’t fun and I don’t have the recipe for Preserving Boluses. For Talismans, I recommend the Mottled Necklace, Immunizing Horn Charm (Both for staving off the Rot), Flock’s Canvas Talisman (if using incantations. If using sorcery, use the appropriate counterpart), Erdtree’s Favor (Because extra stamina and equip load), Viridian Amber Medallion/Arsenal Charm/Great Jar’s Arsenal (Replacement for Flock’s Canvas/Sorcery Counterpart, if your build isn’t a magic user). Spirit Ash (specifically mimic tear) can be extremely helpful if you don’t mind the hit to your pride. Finally, don’t get greedy but don’t be a coward, because Malenia exploits both.

@GenLiu2 жыл бұрын
I can hardly imagine how anyone on earth can find another boss than Malenia at the first place of the most difficult boss in Elden ring. She's BY FAR the most difficult boss even designed by Fromsoft. In fact, I'm convinced she's almost impossible to beat with certain builds. I love this boss. My favorite in Elden ring, in fact, but I've got to admit, her Waterflow dance is utter BS. If she does it from a distance, fine. It can be tricky to dodge everything unscathed but it's doable. If she does it at close range, however, you're screwed unless you're a master who can circle around her and perform a pixel-perfect roll when the first flurry comes out. And this thing does so much damage too. If you've got scratched before or thought it wouldn't be necessary to heal that tiny bit of health you were missing before, well, bad news because just the first flurry does 1500+ damage (which is more than 75% of your health even with 80 vitality). And things don't even get easier if you summon since you essentially give her a free boost and a wandering HP dispenser to drain from. There's nothing, in any Fromsoft games, that comes even close to that.

If you have good poise you can dodge to avoid most damage even after getting clipped by waterfowl. It’s not really a matter of dodging all of it it’s a matter of surviving.
@GenLiu2 жыл бұрын
@@CatchTheseMechanicalHands That's precisely the issue I have with this move. "If you have good poise" is already a condition that pushes quite a few builds out of the window. Some builds will have reasonably good chances at beating her but for others, it will be nearly impossible. If I were Fromsoft, I would nerf bleed to make her tougher against it and soften the first flurry of waterflow dance so it can be consistently avoided by all builds (I'm not even asking it to be easy to avoid, just doable for the like of us...mere mortals who don't have inhuman timing and reflexes). The problem isn't whether the move can be dealt with or not but the gap of reasonable chances between the best and worst build available in the game (and I mean, best and worst against her). Because let's face it, while Malenia is basically unbeatable for certain builds, she can be erased from existence like a regular mob for whoever builds around River of blood, for example.

@@vgcv123 I can see that, actually. Malenia is the kind of boss that can become trivial if you have those very specific builds that destroys her (I mean, your right. At the end of the day, your build dictates your experience in Elden ring). The fact that you struggled against Radagon and Elden beast makes sense too. In fact, I have a friend who had a similar experience and he was using the Bloodhound's fang as well. So, that weapon really seems to suck against Radagon/Elden beast. By extension, I can see the Gargoyles being tough too. Everything that's resistant/immune to bleed performs poorly against those bosses.

Malenia is without question the hardest boss I've ever fought across all of the Soulsborne games, beating out Ebrietas from Bloodborne who was the prior hardest for me. I didn't want to cheese her or use summons and I nearly went insane. Took me 86 tries over 2 days 7 hours (3 on day 1, 4 on day 2) to finally conquer her and nearly a third of those were just on phase 1. There were so many times where she would get me with her scarlet rot and then curbstomp me with her flurry attack. I was nearly crying from relief and joy at finally beating her and finishing my first playthrough.

This whole 'summons are cheese' meta that's going along cracks me up man, the bosses are literally tuned for summons, which is why these bosses are so difficult and have insane amounts of HP. If summons weren't intended they'd have scaled down the HP of most bosses so they don't drag on so long. I've been playing these games for 13 years and find no shame in summoning. Same with people who think mage builds are 'easy mode', I always run dex personally but it's in the game for a reason, and From Soft have balanced everything around. Saying this, Mimic Tear could possibly use a HP nerf

At least I thought that the capital is the last thing I was supposed to do in the game Same with Godfrey but for some reason I also had a lot of problems with Draconic Tree Sentinel and the Elden Beast at first But I have no idea why one shouldn't use the summoning bell at unfair bosses like Godskin Duo. They aren't even designed to be a double fight, it's unfair and the game wants you to use glitchy cheesy tactics that way (like using the pillars in the arena). Therefore I just summon the mimic tear there, why even care about a fair fight when they don't do it themselves lmao

This just shows how good summons can be for boss fights.

A quick tip for fighting Mohg: There is a crystal tear for your physick flask that you find along Yura's questline that negates the damage from his phase transition. He'll still heal, but this gives you an opening to chip him down a bit and save you some flasks.

Another quick tip for mohg... I one hit killed him with comet azur without jumping from the wall. Just saying.

I came here to say the same thing. I felt there had to be a trick and laughed when it actually worked. I still died a bunch as he literally tries to blind the player from what is coming.

Malenia is one of the few bosses in any game where I felt 10000% satisfaction when I finally beat. What a fucking monster of a boss she was.

I couldn't believe but I defeated Malenia on my first try which is peculiar because I've generally die at least 1 time even for mediocre bossies and I've heard she was the hardest boss in the game. And yes I was using Rivers of Blood and Mimic but still, it felt it was too easy.

So fun fact, #15 the twins can actually jump to their deaths, just stick close to the water fall near the building you came in from and eventually they end up "accidentally" jumping to their deaths. This actually makes their boss fight more of an endurance test if you're using a sheild that blocks 100% psychical damage.
