@@Jirafoide2000 bro we are a human that has the power to revive and we kill things no mere man should be able to kill even with this power plus a dragon that size is just a bigger target to hit meaning the big artillery could easily smash though his scales

There were hundred of them in leyndell, they could've just stand up against the outer gods themselves without the need of the whole shattering thing lmao
Gideon being in a constant state of dodge rolling and being comedically sent flying back a hundred feet by an arrow is the funniest thing i’ve seen all day
Morgott dodging the initial volley, the knight who was singled out by Astel being the one to take him down, and Hoarah Loux being taken out by a guy rushing in with a sword, are all amazing moments
10:18 Gideon casually sidestepping both volleys while he drinks his flask is badass, shame the rest of the fight is just him panic rolling and getting bodied
@@chrismeandyou They actually won because they had huge healthpools and avoided the arrows frequently, along with hyperarmored leap attacks, plus every main boss has AoE attacks.
13:10 I respect this man so much. He died so that his brethren might live and defeat the Eldritch beast before them. The legend was felled, yea, but a new one was created in its stead.
There's almost a beautiful story to be found here. A world where the Tarnished never came, and where a cadre of knights took it upon themselves to do what needed to be done. They had no way to level up, all they had were their brothers and the strength of their sword (and bow) arm.
It is easy to forget, but in lore these guys were supposed to be only step below demigods themselves in standing. And noble families of the capital each (maybe Haight and Marrais as well) claimed such knight as an ancestor by description on Aristocrat's Coat. So if demigods are royalty, these guys produce all the dukes, counts and barons.
It’s his first phase he just sits there and let’s everyone hit him and his second phase he starts dematerializing and then RKO’s you out of the sky doing like 2k damage per hit
It’s amazing in this case too, since his tele-swipes seem JUST outpace the knights’ reloading animation-he had little margin for error once he had it down to the last four and made the most of his windows of opportunity Efficiency Lord Placidusax
I like how Malenia survives the first few rounds because she's one of the few bosses to actually dodge the arrows. Superpowers: Waterfowl Dance, the rot nuke everyone runs into, and being able to move a few feet to the side.
@@hereniho Even if the Knight do kill hers... that is nothing to be impressed. Because this all about stunt & breaking posture of the boss. Once they do... damage is insane. Having multiple enemies at once, ruin the bosses' focus, isn't this evidence by summons? Once the boss is occupied with one enemy, they open to being under attack by everyone else. Once you break the bosses' posture, it's almost over. But the amazing part about all these is to know Malenia is badly damaged. She succumbed to Rots. Lost both eyes. Lost an arm & 2 legs. Both of her legs are prosthetics. But she fought fairer than anyone... People keep saying how much Malenia cheats Radanh during their last fight, which could be true... but she was already at a disadvantage too... because by that fight, she have lost 1 arm & 2 legs.
This is my favorite of your series. It had a real Band of Brothers feel to it. Jesus, they didn't need a Tarnished chosen one, the Lyndell Knights just needed a competent commander with a clear battle plan.
ปีที่แล้ว +6
its a sorry things that the only ones that could do something are in the bad lands, being a puppet for an outer god or death in the Lyndell assault
They kinda did Thats why lyndell didnt fell and Radagon throne remain untouched for centuries despite other demigods best effort. It was to a point that marika start to enlist outsider tarnished
5:42 is my favorite of all of these videos, its was cinematic af Placi just vanishing into thin air, then reappearing in the sky with that red lightning and destroying the knight army was just flawless.
@thecompetitor4418 She didn't. She dodged once, twice but then got porcupined. Morgott dodged and sliced and went on attacking. Rotussy only won thanks to phase change and Aeonia ultra.
Radahn was epic. I had no idea they could shoot that far, and they destroyed him as soon as he touched them. They also had a cadence to their firing which made it 10x better
I enjoyed how climactic Malenia's battle was, the glorious last stand of a swordmaster against an elite regiment, while on the other hand Placidusax is just 'How much lightning can I blast these bastards with before they get me'.

physics is so amazing in this game like the force of those arrows stopping a full weight body mid air is just too awesome and also how each of the knights seems to have their own distinct characters and priorities
at the start of the Radahn fight, I genuinely felt like they were all going to die, but after seeing them clock him for 1/4th his hp was so hysterical. Man I love/hate Leyndell Knights, those guys strike some fear of grace into someone.
Turns out all that was needed to save the Lands Between are a group of well-trained well equipped professional soldiers ... That's actually quite realistic 😅 As long as they don't mess with time frozen ancient dragon lords or crazy rot infected killer ladies they will be fine.
@@1-800-nonya if they staggered their shots they could have won with what they had, they all shot at the same time so she could dodge all the shots with one move
I love the knights in this game they found a way to make each regional knight unique all while keeping a constant look like they were all a part of the same military at one point and it makes me way to see all the different knights work together like think of it godrick cuckoo redmane and halgtree knights working side by side
Never thought seeing Gideon panic rolling would bring me so much joy.😂

Reminds me of that “pov you are the fire giant” meme raccoon 🦝
Gideon is like “fuck this game man, who designed these bosses”

that's what you get for being a filthy caster
he did a surprisingly good job, all things considered
He reacts just how almost all players would react when facing that many lyndell knights, just panic rolling until you die

Good catch! Didn’t even notice that.

It’s not an elden ring video of Gideon isn’t getting bodied in the most hilarious way possible.
The fact that this was so one sided against every other boss yet Malenia and Dragonlord still managed to win is insane.

at the start of the Radahn fight, I genuinely felt like they were all going to die, but after seeing them clock him for 1/4th his hp was so hysterical. Man I love/hate Leyndell Knights, those guys strike some fear of grace into someone.
2:31 That dodge was so clean
gideon panic rolling is top tier elden ring content
The Leyndell Firing Squad.
They took the whole "strike at zero hour with overwhelming firepower" very literally.
Sabaton raging in their minds
Turns out all that was needed to save the Lands Between are a group of well-trained well equipped professional soldiers ... That's actually quite realistic 😅
As long as they don't mess with time frozen ancient dragon lords or crazy rot infected killer ladies they will be fine.
Welp, that's just 10 of them, imagine a battalion of them who can dodge like Melania.
elden ring military coup ending?
@@Ethian315honestly even 2 more woulda taken her down. Her life was extremely low when she won
@@1-800-nonya if they staggered their shots they could have won with what they had, they all shot at the same time so she could dodge all the shots with one move
@@TzeentchLordofChangeIf they were placed slightly further apart they would have won lmao
11:25 “ we have come for better wages”
that's the first time ever Radahn is seen holding his arrows and dying before shooting them
Lol, he got then with one volley and they were like, oh heeeellll no!"
"You got made your one shot. Our turn."
He was given his first and last shot
That's why even demigods needed armies.
6:39 bro took that personal and took the last shot 😂😂😂
6:35
The absolute payback from the guy who got blasted, ended up taking the kill.
Morgott dodging the arrows was fire 2:35
Yeah but you gotta give Giddy A for effort. Poor thing.
Fire Giant dodging first volley of arrows by just turning a bit xD ultra instinct lol
The cordinated firing feels so satisfying
10:01 "Yeah yeah, shut up sorcerer" (This was the funniest in my opinion) 😆😆😆😆😆😆
You gotta admit even if Gideon lost for his age hes very flexable
If only he wasn't so glassy.
@@davidtsmith33he leveled his vigor
Just not enough
We even got Gideon spam rolling before GTA 6
This really shows how powerful Knights are when they band together.
I love the knights in this game they found a way to make each regional knight unique all while keeping a constant look like they were all a part of the same military at one point and it makes me way to see all the different knights work together like think of it godrick cuckoo redmane and halgtree knights working side by side
Like Ken and Ryu
The knights all coming together to make that last sweep from Placidusax was so sweet x 😂😂
Everybody gangsta until Placidusax disappears
