To be fair the bosses are all dumb in the intelligence department, if they were actually real versions they would know how to dodge and evade as well as just use their most powerful attacks which would flatten him
This is what Rykard is built to do. He literally designed himself from the ground up to be a big scary monster that can eat other big scary monsters. He's rather less effective against beings capable of dodging.
If Rykard wasn’t so obsessed with getting continually stronger and actually used the strength he’s already accumulated by this point he probably would have been able to succeed in his goal
@@isaidarkmoon6434 not really in the lore the reason each demi god does not attack each other is because they are to scared so the land stayed in a calm state
@@isaidarkmoon6434 Depends on who he decided to fight. If he attacks Raya Lucaria, I'd imagine he'd struggle quite a bit against the range advantage. If he went after Caelid or the Haligtree, he'd rot away like anyone else. I'm not sure he'd even by able to traverse the mountaintops of giants, and the Fire Giant is very durable. Even if he went after the Erdtree, he'd either have to fight his way through Leyndell, or get past Gideon, Godfrey, and Radagon before facing the Elden Beast, and he'd have to do this alone, since he would kill Volcano Manor first. Even without the knock-on effects of the Shattering restarting, he'd be facing a hell of a lot of opposition, and I don't think he has the staying power. If we do consider what the other demigods would do, it looks even more grim, since none of them want to be eaten.
@@goddoda412 that’s the thing though. He didn’t because he was scared, not because he lacked power. If you fight Rykard without the gimmick spear, he’s insanely durable. And that’s what the rest of the world would be dealing with since they don’t have access to it. Rykard has eaten countless tarnished that were at or around our strength level. I’m not saying it would be easy for him either, but you can’t deny that he has the potential to kill gods either.
It has something to do with invisibility mod. I turned invisibility on to prevent my character being targeted. With invisibility on, Elden beast and Astel kind has some aiming issue until being hit (lava dmg doesn't count), and Rykard would stay idle until being hit first.
If rykard devours a god, I imagine that he would assimilate the powers of said god but also, would he change form? that is to say, its appearance would suffer alterations for each devoured god? I think so.
If Rykard devoured Astel, he'd probably grow wings and gain some gravitational powers - if Rykard devoured the Elden Beast he would become a god and devour the world, and devouring the elden beast would give him the powers of the elden ring.
Astel and elden beast when I fight them: *3 miles away, teleports another 4 miles away, and just range spams till I close the gap* Astel and elden beast when fighting rykard: Let's just stand in the lava next to the God eating serpent lol
This shows how meteorite of astel needs some work on the aim. Maybe make the meteorites have a smaller range sideways or give them a better track in exchange for some damage.
9:31 it's just so funny seeing the serpent head slowly turns to face the Elden Beast, but his whole being then suddenly whips around when struck by Astel. It's almost like he got slapped so hard that the force spun him around... 😆
I like the ideia of not showing HP bar or HUD at all. That way it's a surprise when one of them loses. I think getting closer to the battle is cool too, because it gives the impression of two titans fighting.
Notice how the end game boss can't beat a optional boss which goes to show you we the players do more dmg than the bosses and that by default we take more damage 😂 So we're stronger than the endgame boss if you think about it. And of course they'd win a 2v1 they couldn't win without teaming.
The dmg is the same, bosses have different resistances sure but we can also manipulate our resistance. We don't take more damage we just don't have nearly as much health.
It makes more sense doing 2 on 1 because Rykard literally has a second life that makes him pretty much always going to be a 1 on 1 boss. I also find it interesting how much damage you can see attacks do, like Astel tail does so much damage and the asteroid barrage - if Astel and Elden Beast just did their heavy attacks pretty much all the time they would flatten both lives of Rykard. It also can see how important the AI to dodge or evade is because in a real fight they would be smart as a player and dodge attacks. It does look visually epic and kinda cool seeing the lore at play, but the bosses are really stupid compared to how they would be and that magma pool really makes it hard to fight Rykard without range with the continuous damage that staggers and the dumb AI for the bosses just keep wandering into the lava and doesnt evade.
ngl, astel's attacks remind me of 4 bosses Amygdala Ebrietas Living Failures Rom, the Vacuous Spider whereas elden beast reminds me of Ludwig, the Holy Blade Soul of Cinder & Galeem (Dont ask why)
Elden Beast would have been such a cool bossfight if it was more like Rykard where you have to use a special weapon and this video made me realise that.
@@vanjaarsic1616 I don't think people would prefer a gimic boss for the last fight of the series. all of the other games built up to this magnum opus, and if it was a gimic boss, most would hate it. i think moonlight is the only weapon that would make sense since it was in so many of their games, and double damage isn't too strong, but strong enough on a weapon that already does high damage, that people would usually choose it if they keep losing. and it incentives them to look for the moonlight if they hadn't.
It really takes TWO Universal entities to kill a God devouring Serpent! Meaning the tarnished scales to 2 universal entities...not to mention him killing those same 2 universal entities
Then what, get out of his protected territory where he was well fed, and get hunted down by morgott with leyndell, and maybe even lansseax when he is forced to traverse altus plateau to go anywhere ? Nah.
Opinion rejected - Reason - Malekith% Malenia moment and oh load Mohg cometh (% based damage, Scarlet rot and mmm yes I heard you like two healthbars. and Oh boy a Rivers of blood player.)
rykard is the cooles tboos is elden scrolls. i hope some dlc hows us how he is even stronger in the past before he is overcome with his obssession witht the gods. he could be a boss thats the hardest ever
This seems very buggy... Too buggy for it to be accurate. Rykard keeps taking hits to his body, but only when his head is hit, does he take any real damage. Astel also seems to miss quite a bit considering Rykard doesn't try to dodge-- I question where the AI is aiming.
NOW WE CAN DEVOUR THE GODS TOGETHA!
This Family looks weird 🤣
Yet he did nada
*the stars
Alternate timeline where Rykard successfully devours the tarnished and the great runes they had collected.
The good ending
I wish there was a Serpent Lord ending, where you consume a piece of the god devouring serpent, and then consume Marika at the end
To be fair the bosses are all dumb in the intelligence department, if they were actually real versions they would know how to dodge and evade as well as just use their most powerful attacks which would flatten him
@@Henbot sekiros bosses deflect your attacks and some even punish you severely if you use a certain attack like owl
Basically a lovecraftian jormungandr
You can't appreciate how strong rykard is until you see this
This is what Rykard is built to do. He literally designed himself from the ground up to be a big scary monster that can eat other big scary monsters. He's rather less effective against beings capable of dodging.
then loses to a guy with a big spear
he's a gimick boss of course he will slap cheeks with bosses that can't use the spear
He's so fun to fight without the spear! One of my favorite fights.
Rykard is powerful he took the blame for trying to end the outer gods and he most likely fought Margot,Malenia,and Godrick army's
Damn he really can devour the gods?!
i wouldn't put it as outside of his capacities considering he's not dead even if you kill him.
If Rykard wasn’t so obsessed with getting continually stronger and actually used the strength he’s already accumulated by this point he probably would have been able to succeed in his goal

Rykard's appetite precedes him as always...I don't want to imagine what we'd actually have to face if he canonically ate Astel.
Rykard: Devourer of the Void
The stars stood no chance
Now that would be a battle for the ages.
starscourge rykard
Probably face a little diarrhoea , Astel gave Rykard some stomach problems
Eleden Beast and Astel's aim seems to get wonky after entering Rykard's second phase
It has something to do with invisibility mod. I turned invisibility on to prevent my character being targeted. With invisibility on, Elden beast and Astel kind has some aiming issue until being hit (lava dmg doesn't count), and Rykard would stay idle until being hit first.
Rykard: Join the Serpent King, as family. Together we will devour the very Gods.
Elden Beast: Idiot, I am the God.
Rykard: Hmmmm, very well.
6:41 the Elden Beast aiming for the head in the last swing, so cool.
It was like he saw the throat exposed and tried to finish the battle right there.
Shame he aimed for the wrong head
When the Serpent head hangs down like that it almost looks like Rykard is wearing a Pyjama cap on his head
3:43 how the fuck did he miss everything with that meteor attack on such big target! 😆
8:04
Was just beautiful
Especially with the arena and music
If rykard devours a god, I imagine that he would assimilate the powers of said god but also, would he change form? that is to say, its appearance would suffer alterations for each devoured god? I think so.
Let’s say he are astel for an example I think he have asters body parts poking out like all the hands and bodies so really he just grows in size
@@grug2759 he will become a snake with the same body as astel i guess (like how astel has like combined planets for a body)
If Rykard devoured Astel, he'd probably grow wings and gain some gravitational powers - if Rykard devoured the Elden Beast he would become a god and devour the world, and devouring the elden beast would give him the powers of the elden ring.
@@telvanniis rykard eating astel would be such an op boss
So what you’re saying is, Rykard is Kirby
Astel really shines when he's got long range, The full hit meteor storm in 2v1 final round just makes that more clear.
Fr
Snake with sword and whale with sword this batle is gonna be legendary
So, he is actually capable of devouring the god...
Astel and elden beast when I fight them:
*3 miles away, teleports another 4 miles away, and just range spams till I close the gap*
Astel and elden beast when fighting rykard:
Let's just stand in the lava next to the God eating serpent lol
I mean that's how they were intended if you just sit in one place all the time like rykard i think
@@Asphyx12 So you telling me the secret is just to sit still and WAIT?!
3:40 the music and astels ultimate attack fit the desperation of the fight
I think this music is form Demon’s Souls, but I can't remember whose theme this is.
@@mariuszgaaj2814 Storm King (PS5 Remake)
Watching this makes me feel like I’m watching a Godzilla movie
This shows how meteorite of astel needs some work on the aim. Maybe make the meteorites have a smaller range sideways or give them a better track in exchange for some damage.
They both would've won if wasn't for the fact that his health bar resets once he hits the second phase
After all rykard is a gimmick boss
And doubles
On the flip side if Rykard used his flaming skulls meteor shower more often like he does against the player he'd win every time.
4:10
Rykard : *emits lava and moves in the lava*
Also Rykard : *Gets burned by flames* "AYOOO IT BURNS BRO STAHP !!!"
That's holy flame not "fire" flame
That's pure holy damage
Tell me you write ignorant comments without telling me you write ignorant comments
Really rykard’s greatest boon in this fight is that his hit box is roughly six light years over from where they seem to think it is
The Kaiden Mercenary carried! MVP definetly!
9:31 it's just so funny seeing the serpent head slowly turns to face the Elden Beast, but his whole being then suddenly whips around when struck by Astel. It's almost like he got slapped so hard that the force spun him around... 😆
A Snake with a Face vs a Space Worm with a Skull and Wings
Astel nearly choked that 2nd fight harder than Falcons choked the Super Bowl.
Rykard vs both primeval and primordial gods must have gave him tears of joy.
Astel needs to learn how to aim his lazer appropriately. He missed every single shot when elden beast was there with him
this truly shows how powerful the serpent hunter is.
We really needed a rykard ending
I like how astel plays as the support for the elden beat during the fight because he knows he's garbage up close
That first fight was majestic as hell meteors flying everywhere, a giant snake vs a giant centipede, now this is what I'm talking about
I like the ideia of not showing HP bar or HUD at all. That way it's a surprise when one of them loses. I think getting closer to the battle is cool too, because it gives the impression of two titans fighting.
3:42
damn that's epic
Too bad they all missed
The way The Elden Beast killed Rykard here was so badass. It looked like he decapitated him.
Ah yes, Rykard's ultimate strength, shit targetting in spite of the fact he's as big as a fucking house
Astel called down a fucking galaxy and still couldn't land a hit lmao
Notice how the end game boss can't beat a optional boss which goes to show you we the players do more dmg than the bosses and that by default we take more damage 😂 So we're stronger than the endgame boss if you think about it.
And of course they'd win a 2v1 they couldn't win without teaming.
Well radagon and Elden beast are actually one boss together. But yeah rykard is damn tanky.
The dmg is the same, bosses have different resistances sure but we can also manipulate our resistance.
We don't take more damage we just don't have nearly as much health.
Tbf the player also had the serpent slaying spear which does way more damage to him than regular attacks
Nah rykard is just a gimmick boss
If they had the serpent slaying spear they would L2 twice and win
Now I see why he was so eager to devour the God's together.
13:40 Soundtrack from Kos lol
I haven’t watched a lot of these yet so maybe it’s happened already but it would be cool to see the omen trio versus each other.
3:43 astel has to have the worst aim of anyone or anything in elden ring
Whats the theme used in the first fight😭
If rykard wasn't tied up and able to move like a actual serpant, no one would stand a chance
Imagen if we actually had a game mode like this
Great video!
Dude the little tortoise down there almost got one shot 😂😂
Rykard will be the strongest boss if we dont get to use serpent hunter 🗿🗿
0:30 storm king of demon's soul theme
Have to say that Rykard had a significant home advantage.
These hulking behemoths dueling with swords is cool but also a bit funnny.
This is like watching TITANS FUCKING FIGHTS ITS AWESOME
The double team at 12:08 though!😱

12:23
Beast : Oh my Greater Will, WTF are u doing, Astel?! Help me
Astel : Hahaha Laser go pew pew
video ideas:
crucible duo vs godskin duo
bosses vs rotten crystallean trio
ulcerated tree spirit vs erdtree avatar
ngl, astel's attacks remind me of 4 bosses
Amygdala
Ebrietas
Living Failures
Rom, the Vacuous Spider
whereas elden beast reminds me of Ludwig, the Holy Blade
Soul of Cinder
& Galeem (Dont ask why)
12:50 where you aimming at?
Rykard barely held on at that second round
Rykard did way better then expected against both of them
Also I couldn't imagine what a Rykard that devours the Elden Beast would be like😳
Or rykard with the powers of the astel race
12:00 so epic
Elden Beast would have been such a cool bossfight if it was more like Rykard where you have to use a special weapon and this video made me realise that.
Maybe if the Moonlight Greatsword did double damage
@@sarcasmgod8430 I think it would be cool if in a cutscene where Elden Beast appears we get Radagon's hammer with special attacks.

How do you do this? is it some sort of mod? I would have so much fun just watching bosses fight
Rykard has basically 2 health bars while Astel has one to make it more fair reset Astel's health bar too so it can be a fair fight
not all the meteors missing XD
Wild Rykard appeared!
Astel, I CHOOSE YOU.
It took me a while to see the 3rd elden god.
When it comes to fighting rykard
Man with air spear > a god
Elden Beast Has so many flashy moves that do nothing damage, wtf
Well, it's entire kit is made to fuck with us 😂
..and then Godzilla came , unleash hell
Hmm, that Astels aggro seems nothing like the aggro it had against me...what did I DO to deserve all that aggro
He’d only win cuz they can’t use the weapon they specifically give you for him
It really takes TWO Universal entities to kill a God devouring Serpent!
Meaning the tarnished scales to 2 universal entities...not to mention him killing those same 2 universal entities
W average anime scaler
They could beat him if only they worked TOGETHAAA!
Honestly I’m surprised, I had beaten him on my first try while fairly equally leveled. And I didn’t even use the spear
If rykard just started devouring everything, starting with like godrick, which would be ironic, he might’ve won
Then what, get out of his protected territory where he was well fed, and get hunted down by morgott with leyndell, and maybe even lansseax when he is forced to traverse altus plateau to go anywhere ? Nah.
I like that intro
Astel was playing with him 😂😂
This video feels like a WWE match
Costomary "togethaaaa":
astel really dosnt like the turtle
Another title: Jaw bone vs Jaw bones
They should have used the Serpent Hunter smh my head.
That poor crab 😢
Lol Rykard has sooo much HP between his two forms, honestly not nearly as simple to beat if you don't spam the serpent spear.
He can't devour sheet.
how do people do this with souls games?
What is that vigor stat
What is this a pokemon battle?
Second phases are op
Looks like a Pokémon bartle
Rykard can solo almost every bosses that doesn't heal themselves through every hits(yes,I am talking about Malenia)
Mliketh kills him

I think Malenia will disagree with you
nice demons souls music
What the heck is Elden Beast anyway?
9:38 damn
Damn i knew Astel was a big lad but not that big hahaha
