I was like: “that’s not rare, that’s not rare, that’s not rare...” Likely because the best memory I have of fighting it was being eaten as the first attack, and fighting it with the first weapon in my inventory (I think +0 broad sword) I had a phantom but the fight still lasted a long time.
On my first playthrough I was a victim of Covetous Demon's bite attack and when I saw my gear "gone" I freaked out. I thought he literally ate my weapon, armor and shield. Turns out he just unequips all your stuff.
@@inferior3199 The actual attack would be too strong, so they needed a different approach to keep his lore attack. (His lore: He's ugly that's why Myrtha rejected him, so he ate a lot) If you break a pot in the air, a hollow falls out of them. The boss will ignore you and will use the same attack to eat him. The other pots are filled with poison and can be destroyed by you or the boss, but they will only poison you
@@quiringuenther6594 I think for the grab attack to be lethal is fine since it is rare and easy to avoid. Plus it would make more sense that he would digest you instead of eating your equipment. Actually he doesn't even do that. He somehow makes you put all your gear back in your inventory by chewing you?
Its not rare attack though. He does that one when you constantly dodge behind him OR attack him when he is doing his combo. Worst thing is, that attack is literally the easiest attack to parry do him stabbing that much
@@danielmoreno-gama5973 no from hentai. In AOT they actually eat you instead of just eating your clothes then spitting you out naked. Titans also aren't fat ugly bastard with a tentacle tongue
I didn't even know the Demon of Song HAD a tail until now. I like how, even though there is absolutely no obligation or reason to behind it, From soft still added a tail attack just in case.
@@yourdad5799 Well, yeah, but I didn't give it much thought. Like I'm not super surprised, it's just not something I really think about every time I walk in that boss arena considering I'm only smacking it's arms and terrifying face.
Nah, there's a collision box around that whole platform- since the collision box doesn't affect the player, I assume it's like the one in the Pursuer's arena that keeps only him from falling, except vertical so it keeps the Ancient Dragon from straying behind the bounds of the arena.
Usually enemies have an invisible wall that prevents them from falling on their own. Enemies can only fall when they are in an attack animation or pushed by the player (usually)
"cool attacks" Last Giant: *falls down* Covetous Demon: *magikarp roleplay* Funny enough I've seen most of these attacks. Guess I'm lucky or the bosses really wanted me dead
Most of these attacks are not rare in the normal sense of the bosses being set to rarely use them, most of the time the boss AI chooses attacks that are more effective against the player's relative position. So yeah, if you are at teh fitting position, the bosses might decide to spam those "rare" attacks. Well, except teh dragons maybe, those usually just spam their breath attack
@@Selnathorn Yeah, like the ancient dragon will spam the tail attack whenever you're around it's tail but pretty much everyone just swings at its toes so they would never see it, same with demon of song's tail attack.
in fact this attack is not rare, it is quite common. the point is, he never performs that attack before you get caught by his grab atack, the blue shiny sword one
Yeah same here. Hes done the stabby attack in my every encounter with him and also the projectile attack but hes done the dark explosion attack 2 times in my 500+ hours of Dark Souls 2
I always fight the Pursuer by keeping some distance so that he spams his charging swing like no tomorrow. Makes him way to easy to beat as its easily punishable. That's why other attacks by him were super rare as the only ones I see him using most of the time aside from the charge are the blue sword grab and the 3 hit combo when you are close (he does it after I hit him). Lot of attacks need specific triggers and for the pursuer, you'll need to get stabbed by his cursed grab to make him use his magic. Others can be avoided by simple positioning.
There's another stab move where he does a third guarded stab. He also does those attacks often if it's not the boss version, especially if it is the one protecting that one chest. Semon of Dong has a 5-6 hit combo. Covetous can jump on his tail if you're behind him.
Did the Lost Sinner and Sir Alonne PARRY AND RIPOSTE you? Well, I have never seen that. also have never seen the sick rotating slamming attack of the Pursuer neither that Baraka fatality-like grab of the Flexile Sentry
Disagreed. Fume Knight is the best Boss fight in the game. He has a Phase 2 wich is rare in Dark souls 2 and the detail of him entering Phase 2 imediatly if you wear veldstads helmet shows how hes Bitter to this day that he lost to velstad in their duel. its amazing!
The very first time I even saw the Pursuer, he was swooping down to that rooftop in Forest of Fallen Giants. I saw him in the air, got busy looking around for treasure/enemies, and got one-shotted by a laser from out of nowhere. This was also my first death in DS2. I don't think I saw that attack again the next 20 times I fought him.

The pursuer might the best ds knight boss, he might actually have the most amount of attacks in the series but he just spams the same 4 attacks over and over, such a shame, i hope someone does a mod that makes him perform all his moveset properly just how people have done with sekiro mods
@@Zansekai the steel chestpiece and elite knight helmet are the armor pieces you can use to look like him, add the red eye ring to have the red glow in his eyes
Surprised this one wasn’t on here, but the sword beam that Vendrick can do I feel is rare. I’ve only ever seen it once. It may have been a new game + play through, but either way I’d fought him before. I walked in there all confident, and not 2 seconds after going through the fog gate did I get SLAMMED by a red/black vertical sword beam (looked like a getsuga tenshou for you Bleach folks). My brother was there at the time. He’s played the game FAR more than me, and he’d never seen that. I legit think I insta-died
@@bungiecrimes7247 true. The dragon outside of the cathedral is basically a skill test. If u know how to get past the bridge and kill it then u will have the skills necessary to dodge that attack.
Well, to be fair, totally not all of them are actually rare. I clearly recognized most of those moves and patterns. Though it's probably mostly because I have played and replayed the DSII for just this long. Still, I was absolutely freaked out when I saw the Flexile Sentry's backwards scimitars stab attack with a propelling cut follow-up. Must hurt like hell.
I know EVERY pursuer attack. Idk why but he was the single hardest boss in the whole series for me the first time we met, probably 50+ deaths before I finally passed, it didn’t help that I encountered him before learning about the Last Giant, who i didn’t even discover until making it all the way to Sinner’s Rise
I had a match with the giant rat one time where he wouldn’t stop using the acid, which made it impossible to get near him. It was like Lawrence The 1st Vicar before Lawrence.
The last giant attack happened to me so much during my first ds2 playthrough I didn't even know it was a rare move wow lol. It was literally my strategy to wait for him to do that.
Wow, you weren't kidding. I haven't seen a bunch of these. I presume it's partly because long-range Estus punishes typically involve specific fast, travelling attacks rather than projectiles or AOEs. Players also don't generally fight from such distances, or spend enough time on these bosses that they'll see everything.
I know you're so super buff you're health is so big I'd like to see the version with the health Bars just to see how much their attacks does to your health
I've seen everything except the Pursuer stabbing the ground, the Gargoyle lightning, the Flexile air barrage, Alonne's impale, and the Watcher's explosion. Those were pretty cool (Flexile's just looked janky), sad to see that Darklurker didn't have anything rare or hidden that I haven't seen
The Flexile Sentry's blender attack is maybe the coolest move in the whole game. Also it's a really nice touch that the Ruin Sentinel's shield gets stuck in the wall and stays there for the rest of the fight after they throw it.
Covetous Demon and Flexile Sentry were DEFINITELY some new shit for me. The Lost Sinner parry too, although I've noticed her in that stance and just stood my ground instead of going nuts. Unfortunately, can't say the same about Sir Alonne, that parry/riposte of his has cost a run back in the day.
i was able to see many of these rare attacks by playing the mod Seeker Of Fire, that mod speed up the game and that let u see way more much stuff, i was so shocked when i saw the grab attack of the Flexile Sentry that was so epic to me.
The "poke-poke-sweep" attack from the Pursuer is the bane of my existence. Every single time I dodge it like the regular sweep (cause the initial animation is vety similar) and end up eating shit
0:31 holy shit I just realized how similar this boss is to dragonslayer armour. That attack and the huge shield, not to mention how the ost sounds awfully similar to DA’s 2nd phase one.
Dark Souls 2 came out first, so you should give credit to it by saying how similar Dragonslayer Armor is to The Pursuer. The Pursuer's shield is in Dark Souls 3 ffs. Give credit where credit is due.
Eh, they're not that similar. Yes DSA has a projectile attack but it has a totally different vibe to it, not just a casual windslash thrown your way. Other than that the only similarity is having a big shield.
There is an attack the Frog only does when you've summoned Felicia the Brave. It is the common two hand slap attack with an additional two wide sweeping slaps
i definately havent seen all of those (hands up who has over 300hrs easily) but the flexile sentry was amazing and such an early boss too! i was so surprised that it was a move i hadnt seen. also, i swear that the slug ate you and popped you out?
I saw almost everything except grabs and parries in the game. Except for the Song Demon and Vendrick. In Vendrick's case, I understand he only uses this attack when the player is far away, but his arena is so small that his sword attacks cover half the arena. And even when he doesn't get it, he just starts attacking while running.
I never saw the Covetous demon spew fire balls. That skeleton on the left shoulder of the Rotten, now, reminds me of the skeleton on the One Reborn in BB. That skeleton is telling the Rotten what moves to do.
The ruin sentinel attack killed me out of nowhere recently. I was fighting one and the other one off screen just yeets the shield at me and killes me cross map
there were also one were the Throne defender crab you with the sword and just suplex you to the other side. It only happened to me once and it went way to fast for me to register correctly what happened XD
Man, covetous's devouring attack telegraphs itself so far in advance that you fit elden ring's entire development cycle within its attack animation. Imagine getting hit with that in an actual run where you're not trying to showcase the move on youtube.
I really like how it says COOL rare attacks and the first clip is just the last giant eating shit.

Last giant: Mom that's my cool style, u can't change this

i was able to see many of these rare attacks by playing the mod Seeker Of Fire, that mod speed up the game and that let u see way more much stuff, i was so shocked when i saw the grab attack of the Flexile Sentry that was so epic to me.
amazing video, pls more
I learnt some of these the hard way
The "poke-poke-sweep" attack from the Pursuer is the bane of my existence. Every single time I dodge it like the regular sweep (cause the initial animation is vety similar) and end up eating shit
an alternative title for this video
"Petite redhead gets skewered"
Those Covetous Demon attacks literally always happen whenever I fight him
0:31 holy shit I just realized how similar this boss is to dragonslayer armour. That attack and the huge shield, not to mention how the ost sounds awfully similar to DA’s 2nd phase one.
Dark Souls 2 came out first, so you should give credit to it by saying how similar Dragonslayer Armor is to The Pursuer. The Pursuer's shield is in Dark Souls 3 ffs. Give credit where credit is due.
You realise what came first right?
Eh, they're not that similar. Yes DSA has a projectile attack but it has a totally different vibe to it, not just a casual windslash thrown your way. Other than that the only similarity is having a big shield.
Dragon slayer armor looks way better though
@@Knight_Of_Eleum_Loyce I didn’t imply that, I just said pursuer is similar to DA.
The last giant stays on the ground for so long that for a second I geniunely though he wouldn't get up.
Vendrick with a range attack. Demon of Song as well. Hundreds of hours and have never seen those
There is an attack the Frog only does when you've summoned Felicia the Brave. It is the common two hand slap attack with an additional two wide sweeping slaps
There's a legendarily rare Semon of Dong attack that is a 5-6 hit combo.
I have killed the Pursurer so fast and parried it so many times, I don't think I have ever realized why his shield is shaped that way.
1:29 "ah senpai, it's too big~"
Dark Sousl II is beautiful.
a lot of these i don’t personally consider “rare” maybe i’m just lucky but surprisingly i did see a few attacks i’ve never seen before.
i definately havent seen all of those (hands up who has over 300hrs easily) but the flexile sentry was amazing and such an early boss too! i was so surprised that it was a move i hadnt seen. also, i swear that the slug ate you and popped you out?
I remember the covetous demon eating me once in eleum loyce and me completely losing my shit thinking all my equipment was completely gone forever
I saw almost everything except grabs and parries in the game. Except for the Song Demon and Vendrick.
In Vendrick's case, I understand he only uses this attack when the player is far away, but his arena is so small that his sword attacks cover half the arena. And even when he doesn't get it, he just starts attacking while running.
The first one.
My reaction was like: *Are you alright, mate? Seems like you’re having a rough day.*
_proceeds to murk the giant_
If I remember from watching this after one of the ruin sentinels tosses and losses their shield another can toss their shield to them
Really nice
Me, having been killed by multiple of these attacks: haha yeah, never seen that one before
I never saw the Covetous demon spew fire balls. That skeleton on the left shoulder of the Rotten, now, reminds me of the skeleton on the One Reborn in BB. That skeleton is telling the Rotten what moves to do.
The only one I hadn't seen before was alonne parrying and riposting, never even realized these were rare
The ruin sentinel attack killed me out of nowhere recently. I was fighting one and the other one off screen just yeets the shield at me and killes me cross map
ancient dragon also has an attack where he stands on his back legs and breathes fire under his tail
I forgot how terrifying that frog is. Truly the stuff of nightmares
there were also one were the Throne defender crab you with the sword and just suplex you to the other side. It only happened to me once and it went way to fast for me to register correctly what happened XD
the belfry gargoyle's lightning move was the 2nd attack they ever did when I first fought them
I'm glad (or sad) to say that I've encountered all for these attacks.
I get the pursuer thrust all the time.
Must be how I play.
Of course, nowadays I just parry everything he does except the curse blade and curse orbs
Man, covetous's devouring attack telegraphs itself so far in advance that you fit elden ring's entire development cycle within its attack animation. Imagine getting hit with that in an actual run where you're not trying to showcase the move on youtube.
So this is the only video when you see Ray dhimitri getting damage
