To be honest, if Maliketh had a bigger HP bar, he’d be too overpowered. He’s basically a crack head thats flinging radiation at you, and if you make him tanky, it would be too much.
Problem is when youre already used to the fight its over so fast. Most of the times phase 2 is just two charged attacks, one parry, one ripost and its over. My suggestion for it would be for maliketh to transition to phase 2 at 66% of his health instead of 50%.
@@zoralink37 …That’s… actually a perfect idea. Both phases are really nothing special, but you barely get to see phase 2, even if it is a typical Elden ring unbalanced mess.
Everytime i hear how you dont like an OST i have to wonder why? Scadutree Avatar is one of the few that isn't a remix of another song and each part perfectly emphasises the emotion of the boss atm. Maybe im just wondering about Scadutree Avatar cause i understand Meytr's slighlty since it's based on the audio of the one recording of a black hole.
Considering the Scadutree Avatar is one of my top tracks in the game, I completely agree with this sentiment. I always thought of it as going from normal theme in phase 1, to the player's desperation in phase 2 (that sneaking suspicion that maybe it can't be killed), to the dying, exhausted, desperate beast in phase 3 (it collapses every time it channels the Scadutree's form). That, combined with the subdued Erdtree Avatar melody, is amazing to me.
Typical mob mentality. People can’t think for themselves. Gaius isn’t even close to F tier, he’s an ok fight. Morgoth in B is also just criminal, no idea how anyone could ever hold that opinion.
I will NEVER understand the hate for Gaius apart from maybe the frame perfect dodge for his charge. Even then, one move doesn’t warrant an F. I honestly think he is the best mounted knight type boss in the game (better than even putrescent and loretta).
Trust me bro, gais is actually really good. Ones you learn him.... Saying as a guy who hated him in the start. So I completely understand but doing a randomizer run where I have to fight him with low dmg really made me appreciate him. Also fire giant is bad Idc wht anyone says
I know this list is subjective, but this might be one of the worst list my eyes has ever gazed upon. like you're telling me that metyr who is objectively the worst boss of them all is still higher than 6 bosses which are 100% better ?
@gustafiore7450 Metyr is definitely worst of the remembrance bosses, but I don't think she's F tier. An F tier boss has absolutely zero redeeming factors. Metyr has fantastic visuals and soundtrack, her arena is amazing, and her overall moveset is really fun. The main things that ruin the boss are the finger creepers and the phase 2 laser. I think she's low C or high D tier at least.
Gaius in f tier is criminal he is such a good boss the charge is the only bad thing about gaius and even then there are so many way to avoid it like raptor of mists, good dodges, vow of the indomitable, torrent, and running behind the left wall. I still get dislike for the charge but the rest of his moveset is super solid and really fun as well as him having some great design and fun lore.
@@kevkev4515 you don’t, but alright. It’s just for the people being overly dramatic and throwing hissy fits since fk launch. I’m about done with ‘people’ like you.
@@mathewdyffryn8693 lmaoo "just roll it"... the hitbox is broken... and i am NOT THE ONLY one who has experienced it being broken. and you shouldn't have to light roll btw, stop trying to excuse a flaw holyyyy
funny enough I know its not really fair to compare but on my +0 run messmer took me like 3 tries and I was struggling on Romina for like 4 hours ... now .. I dont know if its because I had more experience on messmer than her but iirc even on my first playthrough messmer took me like 3 hours and so did romina .... its either that romina is one of those bosses everyone finds easy and I just cant wrap my head around it or messmer is one of those bosses everyone find hard and for me his moveset just clicked and learned it really fast
@mathewdyffryn8693 Romina is a weird one. She's a super fun boss on casual runs, but when doing rl1 or no hit, she becomes a nightmare. It's mostly because of the untelegraphed instant phase transition. You just have to be very cautious around her halfway mark so you don't get clipped by it. She also has a few tricky attacks that require very precise roll positioning and timing, so that's also something that makes her very hard to no hit
its because messmers attacks are always the same combos, while romina is more inconsistent and has some weird hitboxes, you beat messmer easly because you learned him, but romina is just weird
Putting Elden Beast in A tier is a wild take. Elden Beast is disappointingly easy and spends half the fight running away. Radagon was great but Elden Beast was bloated
I really appreciate how you judged Malenia realistically, I feel like a lot of people complain its too hard bc they dont want to put work into fighting her. I get hating the lifesteal, but other than that, the boss is immaculate, very elegant and fun. The mark of a true good fight.
Really good video, always love to see the godfrey support, he is a bit underrated imo. Still fortissax higher than romina, rykard and morgott is just foul. He shares almost all his moveset with other dragons you find spotted around and is a pain to get too. You critizise fire giant for being boring, as you "spend one or two minutes hacking at his ankles", when that is literally how you fight fortissax, unless you sit in front of him and wait until he lowers his head, which is just as painful. While he has great spectacle (his arena and lightning aoe are really cool), there is no way a dragon with almost no unique moves, locked behind a tedious quest is better than two of the most memorable base game bosses. I dont mean to sound too negative, fortissax just sucks, but this video doesn't. Great stuff for such a small channel.
23:06 the i-frame ignorance isn't a bug its there for the juggle effect to work. only the first few frames of the downward slam ignore i-frames but sometimes you can get pushed into the hitbox
undodgable attack does not equal bad boss. have you heard of alatreon from monster hunter? he has a one shot attack that you need to heal through, but he's arguably one of the most well crafted bosses in that game.
somehow I killed radahn first try (to me he was easy I didn't even use summons except for bliyd) but it took me over 100 attempts at minimum to kill astel
i don't understand how everyone who makes these rankings always put Consort Radahn on A or S tier... it's literally such a horrible, unfair boss that is just so overtuned and artifically difficult. everything from the undodgable triple slash to the clone attacks makes the fight so just... unfun. it's just ridiculous how long some of his combos are, and even if you dodge everything you get to hit him like once (if even that)... it's just too much going on, even visually it's hard to see 100% what is going on.
Maybe it's because these guys actually learned how to go against Consort Radahn instead of complaining about attacks that are 100% dodgeable. I will give you that before the change, the double slash needed a frame perfect dodge and the lights were a little too bright. However, both of those are changed. The boss is fair and you need to see what you need to change in your approach.
@@spub1031 yeah, now i'm fine with the triple slash as they fixed it, but it's not like the people ranking these videos are accounting that and putting Consort Radahn in S tier cause his triple slash is now dodgable.
Weird how different peoples experiences can be with these games. I did my first ever Fromsoft game playthrough with a very low vigor build. Maliketh was actually a nightmare. He's so fast and if he landed two attacks, he would just kill me.
Scadutree aviator a tear boss. The positioning challenge of avoiding the thorns along with hiring the head is great. As much mechanical complexity than midear (if u don’t come up with some crazy no hit stratages) but I do agree that it is lacking in some of the Spectial and atmospgheat of that fight
I’d say it if you didn’t already realize it the list is *respectfully* absolutely horrendous. First of all the only reasons you put gauis on the F tier is cause of one attack and you were overwhelmed
the thing that retracts from the regal ancestor spirit so much, at least to me, is that we know pretty much nothing about it. every remembrance boss of the game has some form of reverence, prestige or fame to themselves, and they're all significant to their environment and its story. with the regal ancestor spirit, you just run into the guy, kill him, and the game is just like "yep, these guys definitely exist" and you move on and forget all about it. we only know (very vaguely) that they're involved with spirituality, reincarnation/rebirth and probably the crucible. there's nowhere NEAR enough information to even make its appearance significant or memorable in any shape or form, which is really disappointing to me because the boss itself is really creative, fun and unique. missed opportunity, do better fromsoft
16:00 is just a straw-man. The complains are mainly because of the camera issues and how spammy the lightning phase is. Also, I know this tierlist is an opinion but there are some weird takes.
The only problem with Gaius is the broken hitbox of the charge and sometimes him doing double the damage, with the boar's kick and the charge (which I'm pretty sure is a bug that is for some reason still not fixed). Other than that his moveset is easy to learn and is a pretty fun boss. What I don't know is why Fortisaxx is being glazed as much as he is. It's just a shitty ancient dragon reskin (which are among the most boring and annoying bosses in the game) with like 2 new moves and deathblight which you also mentioned. Other than the music and the arena he has nothing going for him, and those are like, who cares? By that logic why isn't the Scadu Avatar for example higher for you, it has a way cooler arena, and the music is probably the most ambient in the whole game, making it very unique, and could also be argued as one of the best ones. Other than these picks I have nice list.

@@wallyrus104I agree that hes not as bad as everyone says he is but him being able to hit you twice with one attack is very broken. They also should make the charge hitbox smaller as it requires actual perfect timing just to dodge it and its pretty unclear when you have to dodge. Other than those two things, hes pretty good
@@wallyrus104This overlapping hitboxes sometimes occurs in the Scadutree Avatar boss too. Its thorn eruptions can sometimes hit you twice, and if it triggers the bleed too then it’s curtains.
Commander Gaius is easily a top 10 ER boss, idc what anyone says. The Gaius hate is born purely out of (and I absolutely despise this phrase) skill issue
for real... as light load enjoyer I absolutely love Gaius ... I can dodge the charge consistently since I usually use light load and his moveset is just fun ... sure he lacks presentation and that visual "wow" of remembrance bosses but mechanically he is really really fun
Worst thing about him is the lack of unique music and the the charge attack hitting twice sometimes, making its damage very inconsistent Other than that, very fair fight and good fight
I'm not very good at Souls. Though, I have nurtured my ego and honed my skill enough to be able to declare I am not blatantly dog water either. Just moderately bad. But these bosses are wack. Amongst my small group of those I call close friends- we use the term dance. Ludwig was "A's" dance and Gael was "D's" dance. I was really hoping Elden Ring would give me my dance, my first S teir bossfight, my ultimate actually fun challange. This game just did not deliver. I got a bunch of delayed attacks and gimmick fights. I mean if that floats your boat that's fine, but only one of the bosses in the entire game actually made me want to pick up the controller again to fight it. I spend between two and eight days- you can guess who took eight days, on each boss to learn them, investigate their lore through items and locations, hear their music. . . and in reponse they either kill me with ridiculous AOE damage laser beams or use the slowest charge attack I've ever seen to almost garentee hit you unless you perfect dodge. Its fine, but just disappointing. Putrescent Knight was the only bossfight I had genuine fun on in the entire game I think- and he didn't last particularly long enough to enjoy fully.
I don't really know what to say here besides git gud. They all are dances, just requires more patience and skill from the player than previous titles. You actually have to learn bosses now instead of reaction roll everything. If you can't do it it's on you.

WARNING: I think some of my opinions on Elden Ring bosses are not of the most popular variety, so get ready for some hot takes! :D
My list:
S
Radahn, Consort of Miquella (97/100)
Starscourge Radahn (90/100)
Radagon of the Golden Order & Elden Beast (89/100)
Regal Ancestor Spirit (88/100)
Rykard, Lord of Blasphemy (87/100)
Maliketh, the Black Blade (87/100)
Bayle the Dread (86/100)
A
Messmer the Impaler (85/100)
Godfrey, First Elden Lord / Hoarah Loux, Warrior (85/100)

F

PS. In my full boss list, tiers F-B are full of non-remembrance bosses so that's why they're empty on this particular list. This game just has such high-quality remembrance bosses :)
Consort Radahn is your top 1 is big W 🙌
… I’m sorry, why is metyr not in F minus??
Renalla after Godrick?
Commander Gaius being the only boss in F-tier is so true
Bro he’s a good boss, it’s just the charge (which you can easily dodge on light load). He is actually really fun to fight once you know his moveset.
@@wallyrus104I agree that hes not as bad as everyone says he is but him being able to hit you twice with one attack is very broken. They also should make the charge hitbox smaller as it requires actual perfect timing just to dodge it and its pretty unclear when you have to dodge. Other than those two things, hes pretty good
@@burntivoryking it’s fine on medium loaf but I agree they need to fix his overlapping hit boxes
@@wallyrus104This overlapping hitboxes sometimes occurs in the Scadutree Avatar boss too. Its thorn eruptions can sometimes hit you twice, and if it triggers the bleed too then it’s curtains.
@@wallyrus104 how is he a good boss if you're admitting his charge attack is bullshit?
I don’t think it is pronounced “meedra”
you could like.... block gaius charge with a shield
Commander Gaius is easily a top 10 ER boss, idc what anyone says. The Gaius hate is born purely out of (and I absolutely despise this phrase) skill issue
Fr i love this guy, u just need to have decent vigor and decent shadowfragment level and he is super fun to fight
for real... as light load enjoyer I absolutely love Gaius ... I can dodge the charge consistently since I usually use light load and his moveset is just fun ... sure he lacks presentation and that visual "wow" of remembrance bosses but mechanically he is really really fun
Same. Love this guy
Worst thing about him is the lack of unique music and the the charge attack hitting twice sometimes, making its damage very inconsistent
Other than that, very fair fight and good fight
@@artik8885 I beat him on level 1 no blessing and he was really fun
Glad i fought both starscourge radahn and consort radahn pre patch
I'm not very good at Souls.
Though, I have nurtured my ego and honed my skill enough to be able to declare I am not blatantly dog water either. Just moderately bad.
But these bosses are wack. Amongst my small group of those I call close friends- we use the term dance. Ludwig was "A's" dance and Gael was "D's" dance. I was really hoping Elden Ring would give me my dance, my first S teir bossfight, my ultimate actually fun challange.
This game just did not deliver. I got a bunch of delayed attacks and gimmick fights. I mean if that floats your boat that's fine, but only one of the bosses in the entire game actually made me want to pick up the controller again to fight it. I spend between two and eight days- you can guess who took eight days, on each boss to learn them, investigate their lore through items and locations, hear their music. . . and in reponse they either kill me with ridiculous AOE damage laser beams or use the slowest charge attack I've ever seen to almost garentee hit you unless you perfect dodge.
Its fine, but just disappointing. Putrescent Knight was the only bossfight I had genuine fun on in the entire game I think- and he didn't last particularly long enough to enjoy fully.
I don't really know what to say here besides git gud. They all are dances, just requires more patience and skill from the player than previous titles. You actually have to learn bosses now instead of reaction roll everything. If you can't do it it's on you.
The Fire Giant criticisms make absolutely no sense.
