Check out bigimpact.io for 20% off all your website and SEO needs! Edit: For those wondering why I didn’t showcase Forsa’s 1st place run: I asked him before I started working on this if he’d be okay with me not including him in the video given that I’ve already covered him in 2 previous ones and he said it was fine! We wanted to give others the chance to share the spotlight too. I also felt like Spicee and Michu’s runs made for better storytelling because they were so close. If you’re interested in seeing Forsa’s run, you can find it in the description of this video. Definitely check it out, the guy is a legend!

@temphy Жыл бұрын

@@aeriagloris4211Basically, baits the first two attacks on the first section of her waterfowl to go one way while he dodges the other, bc these two attacks are the furthest reaching she then can't gain enough space on you during the next 3 hits. Bc he was light rolling it makes it much easier but I believe this is possible to do on med load, just that the dodge is near pixel and frame perfect as well as having to set her up correctly. The next two sections of waterfowl you just dodge in, fairly simple.

Even coming from 1000+ hours played in souls game, it took me a lot of attempts to beat Margit. He's designed to teach you the "always roll through" mechanic, while at the same time punishing you sometimes with quick dagger swipes, that you have no way to avoid. It really subverts the "keep rolling and all will be fine" theme.

@cncaliguy09 Жыл бұрын

I warmed up with first time playthru with Bloodbourne. Beat Kos in day of attempts and thought I was gud. Well I after Margit smoked me, Didnt even know how to use ash of war or upgrade my weapon. Tries that and fails, so I went exploring. Fromsoft starts are always brutal.

@yurilopes420 Жыл бұрын

he teaches everything, really. how dynamic elden ring combat is, with you a lot of times being able to sneak r1s between hits in the same combo, delayed attacks, even undodgeable attacks that you just have to either light roll, or run away from also if I'm not mistaken he has some strafeable attacks, and there's another mechanic. I love Margit

@valkeitos 5 ай бұрын

For me, it's taken until Radahn to realise that dodge timings are flexible by your inputs. By that i mean, while bosses have combos that attack twice in quick succession, you can dodge earlier to avoid both blows. Other combos take longer or have longer follow throughs so you dodge later. It makes dodging more intuitive and meaningful every time you press the button.

My favourite boss in Elden Ring is probably Godfrey. On my first playthrough, he felt like the final boss, with extremely powerful attacks, that were also well telegraphed, so the fight never seemed unfair. From a lore and gameplay standard, this boss is amazing for the climax of the game. It's unfortunate that the real final boss is a little disappointing (not Radagon, but the Elden Beast is stupid).

Grappler Loux was also pretty cool with how he throws you around the arena its super hype, but Malekith seems even more memorable.

My favorite boss is Mohg, both versions. I love how the first one feels like an dance, all the attacks are clearly telegraphed but not incredibly easy to dodge. The second one is more epic, the soundtrack is amazing and the phase transition is incredible. The fight feels chaotic, and I really dig it. Also, I love the lore behind him

My favorite fight has to be Radagon and The Elden Beast, I remember getting there totally sleep deprived on like a 17 hour binge of the game and when Radagons theme hit I was just entranced with the fight from beginning to end, Whenever Radagon went down and The Elden Beast appeared the whole fight took a shift from being this epic battle against a godlike warrior to a completely transient being backed by that incredible track. I still remember the awe I felt whenever the Elden Beast flew up and The Elden Ring appeared in the sky, truly an incredible fight.

Oddly enough, for me Morgott the Omen King has to be my favorite boss. From the multiple encounters you have with him that builds up a rivalry, to the way as a lord perspective you see that this is a man who wants the best for his people and to rise up to the challenge that was taking the place of his parents. Morgott to me just has a fantastic boss fight, but the lore behind it is what makes it the best.

Unpopular opinion, but my favorite boss has to be Malenia. At first, I really hated her (not just because of waterfowl, her lifesteal was really annoying, especially paired with her flurry attack), but then I started to learn her moves, find openings. For the first time I beat her with a summon, and it was surprisingly easy that way, but something was missing. A few playthroughs later I went back to her, to finish her solo. It took multiple hours and many deaths, but in the end I beat her, and it feels like the biggest reward in the game. I'm not going to sit here pretending that she is a perfect boss, in fact she is not very fair at all, but for the journey it took for me to best her definitely made Malenia my favorite boss.

@TIkeapsS Жыл бұрын

@Poe Soul You got it all right my friend, I'm currently trying to beat her only by avoiding her waterflow with rolls and from close distance, and it is so painful having to put her to midlife at every trial, but I won't kill her until I manage to do it because I know the satisfaction at the end will be worth the pain Have a great day guys and enjoy the game ! :)

@sandwichdealer1711 Жыл бұрын

@Poe Soul I'm a souls vet who started at 13 with demon's souls and I agree fully, the delayed attacks were a huge problem for me and threw me off so much, it didn't help I beat the game without summoning. ER kicked my ass more than any game in the series and it was amazing. However I still really dislike Malenia, not because she has delayed or unfair attacks but because she is poorly designed. I've seen a lot of people compare her to Sekiro's boss and for good reason, but in ER she just doesn't work, add on to that her bullshit healing mechanic, insane damage output and two healthbars and she just feels like the devs put her in there as a fuck you. Unlike previous souls game's bosses like Gael, Friede, Artorias and especially Isshin she does not reward skill but instead cheese, broken builds and exploits. Hearing people compare her to Isshin is stupid. One is a incredibly well-designed duel with an foe far stronger than you, managing to make the fight very hard but never feel unfair, every time you die to Isshin it's your own fault. The other is a broken, unfair slog with a foe who could have been fun to fight had the devs balanced her more or put more thought into the fight, dying to Malenia is mainly due to dumb bullshit

@imafraidjumitebeeinnagang155 Жыл бұрын

@@sandwichdealer1711 Really? Dying to Malenia is due to dumb shit? Look, I'm not going to talk shit because frankly, I've felt that against a good quarter of from soft bosses at one point or another. But eventually, you realize that the dumb shit you're dying to is your fault, not the game's. She has generous openings, lacks aggression in phase one, and has only one attack that is difficult to consistently dodge. And even that attack, waterfowl of course, is only difficult to dodge if you get too close to it. Waterflow is fundamentally a souped-up punishment for improper spacing. But if you know what you're doing you still can stay very close and use a different method and completely dodge it the majority of the time. And then if you're even a little distant, it's not particularly notable if you know what you're doing. She's tough. She demands a strong understanding of her moveset and a fair amount of patience. But when you really get her fight down she is incredibly fun. Slightly below Gael to me for best boss they've ever designed but it's a masterpiece.

@Akakiryuushin Жыл бұрын

@Poe Soul its not just an overabundance of delayed attacks, every single enemies attack timing requires delayed rolls and if you get hit once with a bad roll timing you will most likely roll immediately after the stun animation getting hit again. and if you tried dodging at the right time(.2 seconds after the animation not enough to realize you did or did not roll) you will dodge again after the stun animation. every enemy roll catches and the input queueing makes it more likely to get roll caught, deaths are no longer my fault. and the big appeal to the souls fans is its challenging but fair gameplay. this game is no longer fair

Besides being a really fun fight gameplay wise the reveal that he wasn't just a one off fight at the beginning of the game reaaally caught me off guard (in a good way) the fight just FEELS important and epic. Plus I really love how the line "Emboldened by the flame of ambition" is reused. In the first fight it sounds like he's just going through the motions no real passion, but in the second fight you can just *feel* the anger and hatred in his voice and god its so good

And of course his design is amazing, a new iconic souls character.
