I could have just not been seeing it or maybe it really just didn't affect the bears health that much, but her Scarlet Aeonia didn't seem to be hitting very hard if at all and I didn't notice a DoT.
Not sure where your getting that bear should have died 5 times with that amount of damage… if your right and it did take that much damage it should have died yes, once and almost a second time since runebear has somewhere around 18k health

The harald knights and sharks are much better tuned and designed and give you worthwhile xp; rune bears are so comically overtuned and give less pitiful xp, I honestly think the person that balanced them was snorting coke.
Nope, only replaced Jellyfish with Runebear. I don't have the tool anymore, but if anyone wants to check the game files, the NPCParam (I think), there are a ton of different Runebears in the game.
The Runebear was once a jellyfish. It was reformed into that abomination by some kind of reformation magic from a foreign land that has originated from the long forgotten GBA era.
the damage seemed fine tbh, on the level of consecrated field runebears, malenia has horrible absorptions and defenses which makes her take more damage than most. The hp was definitely sus tho
personally, i think she is easy, besides the fact the whole fight is RNG and cheating. but seeing this just wierd, never thought to say this but, RUNEBEAR IS THE MAN WE NEED.
Yeah, that's why when I found this thing sleeping under a waterfall I slowly noped back out into the waterfall looking like Homer Simpson with the bushes.
Those bears in Mountain of Giant are by far the deadliest creatures in game. They do insane stamina damage, insane damage, insane hitbox, insane aggressiveness, and they even outrun your horse... Revenant doesn't even come close cuz with a good shield + spear you can cheese them easily, even without the healing incarnation.
Its like that scene from the original jurassic park where the t-rex saved the main characters from the raptors. The good guys just let the bad guy get killed by the stronger bad guy. Amazing
Malenia gave me trouble but I beat her, I outright run when I encounter a runebear late game.

(Never played bb)
The harald knights and sharks are much better tuned and designed and give you worthwhile xp; rune bears are so comically overtuned and give less pitiful xp, I honestly think the person that balanced them was snorting coke.
More like can Malenia beat the hardest goddamn enemy in the game. I'm only half joking.
I'm not at all surprised, those bears gave me more trouble than she did haha. Great vid!
The snowfield runebears are INSANE. They just don't wade up on you at all! Thanks, FromSoft
I was rooting for the runebear from the beginning, but damn not even close
Did you increase the Rune Bears health? He took like 10k damage in one combo and his health bar barely moved.
Nope, only replaced Jellyfish with Runebear. I don't have the tool anymore, but if anyone wants to check the game files, the NPCParam (I think), there are a ton of different Runebears in the game.
This rune bear is from the endgame icy mountains. So yeah, he has WAY more health than any other runebears in the game.
I initially thought that until I tried using comet azur on a runebear in the consecrated snowfields. They have insane hp bars lol
@@cobaph is the jelly fish upgraded to +10 or just non upgraded
This is literally a fire giant level runebear
I've been scared of bears ever since seeing this video before starting Elden Ring for the first time.
That speech on Oppression from "Step Brothers" comes to mind...
How much HP does the rune bear have? I know he has massive HP buff
Its the Ice Mountain Rune Beat, it has the largest HP pull of all Elite Enemies in the entire Game
I don’t think it has a health buff.
the damage was way too high , sure its hard to defeat one specially the one in the mountain tops , but the damage is suspiciously high.
true it's like thee rune bear's damage got buffed significantly
The Runebear was once a jellyfish.
It was reformed into that abomination by some kind of reformation magic from a foreign land that has originated from the long forgotten GBA era.
Was thinking the same
it also has ~50k hp in this video
the strongest runebear in the game has ~25k on ng+7 (~18k on ng)
the damage seemed fine tbh, on the level of consecrated field runebears, malenia has horrible absorptions and defenses which makes her take more damage than most. The hp was definitely sus tho
The bear even take a small nap mid fight
"Your bear, extraordinary..."
Rune bear OP
Hot to spawn runebear?
mods
I won't lie, watching Malenia get absolutely slapped by a bear is pretty damn satisfying.
And my fukin Bleed-using cousin laughs at me when I run from fighting those behemoths in the Snowfield.
it would be sick to encounter a scarlet rot runebear
no, don't give Miyazaki ideas for his DLC
personally, i think she is easy, besides the fact the whole fight is RNG and cheating. but seeing this just wierd, never thought to say this but, RUNEBEAR IS THE MAN WE NEED.
The ground and pound was too real
I was looking for Malenia vs. a lobster, but this was good, too.
She had a chance as the Elden Bear can't grab and give her a solid squeeze.
I want that rune bear sittin' on a throne
Yeah, that's why when I found this thing sleeping under a waterfall I slowly noped back out into the waterfall looking like Homer Simpson with the bushes.
Those bears in Mountain of Giant are by far the deadliest creatures in game.
They do insane stamina damage, insane damage, insane hitbox, insane aggressiveness, and they even outrun your horse...
Revenant doesn't even come close cuz with a good shield + spear you can cheese them easily, even without the healing incarnation.
Ah so they're called runebear? I've always called them gorillabear
Just Smokey the bear coming to tell Malenia about a forest fire she left burning.
Ah bears, like modern day, fluffy dinosaurs. Giant and unstoppable.
"I am Malenia, Blade of Miquella and I have never known defeat... but that THING... it scares me."
That bear put the paws on her 🤣🤣
Reminds me of that bumper sticker, "What doesn't kill you makes you stronger.... Except bears, bears will f*cking kill you."
🤣☠️
Cool how the flower is just being pushed around by the bear aggressively spazing into her.
In a land of gods and monsters, just be a big damn bear.
Maybe the true runebear is the friends we made along the way.
This is the video representation of that Loki meme from Thor: Ragnarok
*YES! YES! That’s how it feels!*
Its like that scene from the original jurassic park where the t-rex saved the main characters from the raptors. The good guys just let the bad guy get killed by the stronger bad guy. Amazing
Ok but I love how she immediately went for the runebear with her phase 2
