Rusty, you gotta stop please

Now rank every chair in Elden ring

@@Pseudo921 he’s gonna go insane with all the ranking list 😭🙏

Don't do this, games shit (1000hr player)

FromSoft really likes turning characters that could have been actual bosses into NPC fights. Who df even likes these NPC fights???

@@romdog1818 I mean, only in ER really Bloodborne and ds1 did it fine 👁👁

Instead of sewer Mohg standing in the way of the Three Fingers, you have to go through a Vyke with flame of frenzy blasting everywhere

i agree

Hopefully a DLC gives us a true frenzy flame boss as well as more frenzy flame themed items I love the aesthetic

Because its not a proper evergaol, its used to get into the haligtree, so it doesn't make sense to be listed

it doesn´t count

those archers don't deserve a ranking

Will probably be in the ruins and small areas tierlist.

Fuck ordina

One thing that I don't see too often mentioned with vyke is that he was grabbed from behind. Probably has significance to it.

Yea the 2 fights emphasize this too- in the evergaol he uses his original dragon incants instead of frenzy & his name returns to Roundtable Knight Vyke, from Festering Fingerprint Vyke

i thought the lore was that he didn't want his maiden to die, so he inherited the flame of frenzy but while he was gone his maiden died or killed herself, and then the greater will sealed his body in the forbidden lands while his vengeful spirit stays with his dead maiden

@@noahsan92both could be plausible. Due to the nature of Evergaols being a tool of the Fingers, and therefore the Greater Will, it’s possible that Vyke knew how to imprison himself within one seeing as how he was practically the Fingers Champion and the closest to becoming Elden Lord for them at the time of his turning to the Frenzied Flame. It’s also important to note that Evergoals could also be a universal tool of the demigods as there’s evidence that Ranni could have imprisoned Alecto after the Night of the Black Knives. And the Carian Knight troll in the Liurian gaol also leads me to believe this as he would have belonged to the Carians exclusively, and not the realm of Leyndell as implied by his helm. There’s also the Liturgical town to consider as it uses the same type of magic, but for the purpose of guarding the secret entrance to the Haligtree rather than as a prison. And the Fingers would definitely have not helped with the making of the Haligtree. Meaning that there is a possibility that anyone could use this magic if they knew the proper rites, which Vyke could have learned (or at least gotten help) from the Fingers. Furthermore, if Vyke did imprison himself that doesn’t immediately mean that his spirit would not exist the way it did. He would still have the very strong influence of the Three Fingers meaning that it’s entirely possible that because his maiden meant so much to him his spirit would still react the way it does regardless of what he had done to his own physical body. There’s also the possibility that his maiden died before he even got to Leyndell as her body is in Liurnia and it was in a town completely overtaken by the Flame of Frenzy. So, overtaken by grief, he plans to kill the Three Fingers, but in a similar way to Edgar, his grief gives him over to the Flame of Frenzy which would explain him turning away from the Three Fingers to try and escape only to be grasped anyway. Now fighting against the thrall of Frenzy in his own body he climbs to the Mountain Tops of the Giants and in a last ditch attempt to try to stop himself imprisons himself with the help of the Two Fingers. After all, as others have said, their thrall could not have been complete if his armor was on. And if he was indeed the challenger to being the next Elden Lord we all think he was his will would have been extraordinarily strong. Overall I think this is a much more compelling theory as the idea of the Fingers somehow imprisoning Vyke, the first ever holder of two Great Runes meaning he would have been extraordinarily strong, all the way up in the mountain tops with seemingly no help as it’s practically forbidden for anyone to go up there never sat well with me.

We all know the true lore is that the dung eater farted in his helmet and shut the lid

Can you parry every attack he does? I assume so except for the one where he flies in the air and attacks you.

Ye been there done that literally bathed in an ocean of diahrea from Crucible ass

As far as I'm aware, all two-handed attacks in the game are also unparriable

He doesnt even know how to play the game, is constantly bitching and annoying? Nah get this guy off youtube

I like how taking out the bloodhound knight with Blaidd is implied to either be something Ranni wanted done or is Blaidd going out of his way to punish a traitor to her while looking for Nokron.

@@zenebean It feels to me more personal to Blaidd rather than something Ranni told him to do

Oh lore?

@@karmamoon4277 Yes, lore!

apparently i didn't grow at all because those guys still kicked my ass down the mountain :(

To a larger point, I don’t really understand why people complain so much about recurring bosses in a game this bug “Hurr durr valiant gargoyles become a basic enemy later on” no you dense bastard there’s three guarding the most important city in the entire continent Oh and this is also why I really like the beast man boss for the first cave in limgrave

@@godricktheminecrafted3113 genuinely yeah its annoys me, i like reoccurring bosses it makes it feel like either growth as a player or they are all this sort of elite group, a little more uniqueness between bosses would be nice like even a single move but still just makes me feel like im fighting a elite group of warriors or something idfk

@@godricktheminecrafted3113 I’m completely with you. Repeat bosses are completely fine in my book, so long as you do them right, and FromSoft did the repeat bosses right almost 100% of the time. They all appear in consistent, sensible places (burial watchdogs guarding catacombs, Erdtree avatars guarding minor Erdtrees, etc.), which makes them feel like they’re supposed to be there. I say “almost 100%” solely because of two repeat bosses: Godskin Duo and Godefroy the Grafted. Godskin Duo has a purpose for its presence (Maliketh is in Faram Azula and they’re trying to reclaim the power of Destined Death for the Gloam-Eyed Queen), but the fight itself is just very poorly designed. Neither boss has a defined role in the fight, they both have annoying moves that can combo in painful ways, and they both respawn, so you can’t get rid of one to have an easier time with the other. Godefroy, meanwhile, is literally just one phase of a fucking main boss, shoved in an Evergaol. Why the hell did they reuse a main boss?

@@Epicmonk117 well almost everyone you talk to about Godrick other than edgar only talks about how pathetic Godrick is, so I just find it an addition to the ongoing joke

imagine respawning Fire giant or Rykard in that tiny arena

@@josetolentino3965 hell yeah, fuck that giant up, couldn't run away so easily

That actually would’ve made a lot more sense for Godefroy. He could’ve been Godrick’s soul or better yet- a Morgott illusion similar to Margit, Mohg, and Golden Godfrey. This would make the most sense due to you fight him in Altus Plateau. Either of those options would’ve been better than a full-fledged character that is essentially a lesser Godrick.

They also just work well as bossfights, in particular the Crucible Knight kind of asks you to adapt within your build to deal with it rather than just break it through sheer persistence.

But you never really catch up to the endgame mobs. You’re forced to just run past everything because they can two shot you and there’s a hundred of them. It’s a cool concept, but it would be better if the player actually reached the level the game wants to make you feel like you reached.

i agree. everybody just hates on it as if its lazy design.. LAZY?? 165 bosses, lazy? they really want to have 165 original bosses? and like, its exactly as you said. if i saw the zamor and then forgot about it.... that'd be weak. same with crucible knights. you start seeing them back to back, flashbacking to the evergaol, and now, still no summons, and out in the world just walking about and you're like "i remember you" but then they're like "psyche, i got new attacks!" shit's so fucking cool, but i mean, people are gonna hate lmao

@@Leg1503 wait what? enemies are WAY less numerous late game. you'll fight a couple beastmen in farum azula, there is one spot where there are like 5, but like the rest isnt that bad. mountaintops has a couple giants or big dogs, consecrated has a couple isolated albinaurics riding wolves, and the haligtree has a bunch of misbegotten but also not like 5 at the same time i could always catch up to everything that happened to me and i didnt feel like i had to run past anything unless i died or i wanted a specific item or boss

@@yurilopes420 but you can’t take on a group of them in the late game like you would a group of godrick soldiers in the early game. I apologize if my previous hyperbole was unclear.

Dragons are big dogs, end of discussion

Hoping they change his model a bit in a future patch

If I remember correctly, he has a slightly different face, but it's not remotely enough.

It also completely ruins the concept of godrick being uniquely despicable as now instead of him being Godrick THE ONLY ONE TO RESORT TO GRAFTING , he’s more like oh hey Godrick is also grafting like Godefroy did and that’s bad. Like what? The attempted assertion of him into the lore is made even more ridiculous by the above. No mention of how he grafted other than the title (isn’t it supposed to be an anchor rune power or something?) or the consequences or how he fits into the timeline. It’s about as half assed as the evergaol and his name. GODEFROY. What. This shit can’t be taken seriously. Come on FROMSOFT.

@@Nightmare-pj4fg the idea of unique despicability is silly

@@PatGunn Um no? Maybe you’re confused by my phrasing but I don’t mean despicability in general, but as it pertains to grafting. Godrick is supposed to be uniquely grafted. An unheard of and rotten act amongst divinity. For instance imagine if there was a Rokard, Past Prince of Blasphemy hiding in an evergaol somewhere. Rykard is supposed to be uniquely despicable in how he blasphemously fed himself to the great serpent and before that rebelled against the erdtree. Slapping a copy of him in an evergaol and saying “oh yeah it happened before” diminishes that significantly, no?

True. You get to recycle all of the practice you got in defeating him the first time, and get that little adrenaline rush of having already learned his moveset.

Ooh you know what’d be nice is if you fought upgraded versions of the bosses. But not so much upgraded more specifically for whatever reason you can’t bring summons into the evergoal (which I believe is already the case). To give everyone the opportunity to beat all the bosses both with summons and without summons and not even require multiple playthroughs to achieve it. Nor hold up the game because you can’t beat one boss without summons since you can always do it at the evergoal. Maybe you could even work in the rennala respec mechanic and let you set your stats to whatever you want so you’re not ridiculously OP.

Plus it’d make a lot of sense for us to banish the bosses to the evergoal in our initial fight as the method to beat them. Explaining why the bosses end up in the evergoal at all

Evergaol

XD he said that in the video!

​@@skvaderarts7009 no he didn't

​@@skvaderarts7009he said the exact opposite to that.

Yeah but fuck both of them

Honestly, it would have been better if Godefroy looked like a Grafted Scion. He's supposed to be Godrick's predecessor in grafting, so making him look even more jacked up that Godrick makes sense, and Godrick modeling the Scions on Godefroy fits with Godrick's obsession with his lineage.

@@watchfulwanderer6443 All I remember about Godefroy was that he's Godrick but Bizarro'd. And it was really funny and concerning.

@@watchfulwanderer6443 You know, grafting should’ve been done a fairer swing in the setting, I think. It’s one of those things you learn about, and then it just… never really has any further purpose. It’s just there. I feel like there should’ve been a “perfected” grafted being, one who Godefroy was supposed to become but missed the mark and Godrick was trying to copy but couldn’t get it right. Have it look like something vaguely deific from a distance, like it has six arms that are positioned in mystical gestures or something like that (or, given Elden Ring’ inspiration from medieval sciences, make it look like Da Vinci’s Anatomy of a Man), but then as you get up close you realize, “Ah, god damn it, From Software’s being gross again, this is Bloodborne all over again!” And since this would be the one example of a perfect grafting, all the supposed benefits that grafting is meant to impart would exist in the ensuing boss fight and it’d clown all over you as a demonstration of, “this is what Godrick was so enamored with when he started fooling around with grafting.”

This. Astel’s reuse while annoying atleast makes lore sense. Godefroy is the worst rehash in the game.

Maybe he did manage to go to Farum Azula during the time it took the player to reach Mountaintops of the Giants and remove Frenzied Flame, and swore allegiance to Placidusax, who sealed him into an area before the one he reached to test the next person who tries to become the Elden Lord.

So glad you were honest. TOTALLY would have expected someone to lie about that

Yeah I'll never understand why people complain about that. In every game that's done it I've thought it was a really cool way to show how your character has progressed. And it doesn't even invalidate your first experience with the boss.

Think its more about bosses being Unique,like i believe there are only 7 bosses in elden ring(that i have found, this is not a fact, but an opionipn), that dont have a repeat/spirit phase/are a resking of a normal enemy that appears/appears later as a normal enemy/is the same boss bit with another phase/same boss new weapon/same boss new moveset(it feels cheap cuase just make new boss new moveset) google says 20 dont repeat but they get 11 of those wrong from ancestpr spirit to red wolf, to general oniell, to marget(fucking somehow, cuase i know of 3 encounters), the 7 Unique ones i know of:1.Fire Giant 2.Radhan 3.Radagon/Eldenbeast 4.Renall 5.Rykard 6.Gideon Ofnir 7.Malenia wich is a problem if there are lik 236 boss encounters in a game 236 bpss encounters where 7 are unique is the problem

Sorry for spelling and grammar, english is my 3d language and im deslysix af

That worked for Dark Souls 1, especially with the demons, but that does not work for Elden Ring when there is so much copy/paste at nearly every turn with little rhyme or reason.

*looks at Godefroy*

Fucking, GODEfroy!!! The vast amount of reuses in ER is a straight up insult to the players. Honestly, fuck them for doing that shit. ...If the DLC has reused bosses... 🙏

@@romdog1818 I think the problem is that we count everything with healthbars as bosses. Most of them are indeed glorified treasure chests and I think there is nothing wrong with it. The real bosses of this game are amazing. At least almost all of them. Don't get me wrong, I don't want to defend Godefroy and Astel 2 because those are a disgrace to the main bosses but I think we shouldn't compare a random mini-boss to Mohg. Elden Rings biggest mistake was that they didn't made clear the diference between main and mini-bosses.

@@poofbomb-minecraftmore1883 u call that thing with less than half the health and no phase 2 and even more weaknesses than the real deal a boss? hes more of a miniboss on the way to morgott XD would much rather have that than not have it, better than boringly walking past corridors youve seen a 100 times like the old games lol. i think most ppl overstate what a boss is, i think in this modern era that definition is changing, its no longer just a unique enemy with a health bar on the top or bottom of the screen, if bosses can become mini bosses or even basic enemies later, then the only reason they were a boss in the first place was your weaker early game stats.

@@vulterion9162 dude there are 8 unique legitimate bosses that don’t become enemies somewhere else. That’s disgusting.

I disagree, but I'm here one-handing a Rapier so the only time I get a chance to attack without getting blasted for it is when it uses the Maliketh Cosplay Attack.

Same here, I thoroughly enjoyed fighting her because it felt like I was relying entirely on skill. You put it perfectly, it felt like a dance. Considering I was using a bleed build with medium bulk, and she was resistant to bleed, I just had to dodge, weave and attack. After numerous attempts I finally got it nailed down and it was so fulfilling

She is incredible hard. I agree its a fair fight. No BS. One thing FS got right at least 👍

The one time my fatass with a colossal sword could dance with the best of them. Good stuff, and worth it for the spirit ash.

Took me about 25 tries. Was interesting noticing myself slowly getting better after each try, and giving various tactics a go.

I personally think that crucible knight is tougher than margit and godrick

No release date though sadly, which does mean it could be months to year(s) out

I did not know about this until I saw your comment, so thanks for making my day.

@@GeraltofGeralt I'll happily wait a year if it means not getting more rushed areas full of reused bosses

@@jimjimson6208 I would take the cautious route and go into it expecting another Scholar of the First Sin scenario: Will there be new stuff? Sure. Might even be good. Will a bunch of the old stuff just be shuffled around for no good reason? Most likely.

Nice Pfp is that someones art or an anime ?

@@jashin888 i forgor, it's just a random anime pic i edited out a bit

Crucible Knight is the only Gaol worth a damn, with maybe Zamor Hero as well. They are very well made enemies, though reused WAY too much. I for one like the progression of Crucible Knights throughout the game, with their moveset expanding bit by bit, BUT they overuse the fuck out of them, and not all of them give something unique which is a damn shame! *Looking at the one in Siofra River in one of the areas that require an imbued stonesword key (and the Crumbling Farum Azula one)*

As a sorcerer on my first playthrough blind it was not fun. The only time he is not blocking is when he is attacking. Yea try fighting him with only pebble cause you don't know how to get more spells.

@@Akakiryuushin it was definitely a fight much better suited to the tankier starting classes lmao

if I like and unlike your reply do you get multiple notifications@@JesseAnderson

No. That's intended. It's one of the reasons why ring of sacrifice exists.

Bosses should keep your lost runes and give them back when killed imo.

@@yurifairy2969 I'd bee cool with that as long as they kept ALL the runes you lost to them, no matter how many times you died. Bloodborne's mechanic of having enemies pick them up and having to kill them to get them back was cool. I just don't like the idea of losing all my hard work to one mistake, and having to go grind to get it back.

@@ghain9774 or rather twig for elden ring

There is also another solution to keep your runes Git gud

@@Plush5 Considering his stance on lore, that makes the fact I skip all of his cringe intros even better.

@@ForeverLaxx fair

I'm glad he put his ad in the same section; made skipping both much easier.

Yeah the payoff of finally getting their armor and weapon right near the end of the game was insane. Also I feel like in mountaintop, they're technically basic enemies except you don't have to fight any of them in the village. Just the few other boss variants

@@Shmethan true! They only inhabit the ruins of zamor, not really as a common enemy but more so to show you that they are surviving and you didnt kill the last one. I wouldnt call it enemy recycling as they still are strong, but more so just that it fits in lore to see them there lol. Also yeah i remember how hyped i was the first time i got their armor and weapon in late game

Exactly! He was basically my first boss, and he bodied me for a few hours before I came back the next day and beat him. The zamor hero taught me how to place the game lmao. S tier imo.

Problem is the upgraded version of it is just sitting in a chest out in the world and doesn't need a boss battle to access it. It is easier to get the soreseal than the scarseal and probably quicker too.

Except everyone and their mom knows that there's a literal better version of that very same talisman in Caelid that you can grab literally ten minutes into your playthrough if you know what you're doing

​@@danielsaber8781 On my very first playthrough I did not know about the talisman in Caelid though so getting the cheaper version in Weeping Peninsula felt very good.

@akakiryuushin It's on the far side of Caelid, likely to be discovered later, and honestly harder to get despite the lack of a boss IMO because a single body is easier to fight than a room full of bats that are way chunkier than they have any right to be but are because "This is Dragonbarrow so F you."

You can tell someone is too far into NG+ when they make a video like this. Fighting these evergaols on that first playthrough was pretty fun and the mage and godefroy are the only ones I remember thinking negatively of. Godefroy because it was confusing to exist and the mage just wasn't a challenging fight when I was leveled appropriately

“LET CHAOS TAKE THE-“ “Stop right there, criminal scum!” “Oh, for fuck’s sake.”

Yeah the unnecessarily long intro immediately followed by an ad is pretty annoying

Totally

Seriously. Does he even _like_ the game? Most of his videos are about Elden Ring and they’re *_all_* critical of it. Enough of the negative shit.

Facts! It is insane how good a weapon it is. I was laughing like a maniac while I was slicing Elden Bitch's blobby ass up with it at the end.
