It could probably just reach up to weaker areas with certain attacks, if havel cycles through all his attacks evenly and heals during the windows with let's say 8 estus, he could 100% take yhorm
>8 Estus Perhaps if he is allowed to use that many to keep the dice in play (versus getting stuffed to death while trying to do his self-buff). His odds will never reach 100% given the unlikely nature of getting enough non-feet shots. Alas, he doesn't have Estus to begin with. He would need another buff beyond being an impossible entity as he already is.
@@VacantSpirit Well, I noticed full R2 thrust with something like the Lothric Knight GS can knock him to the ground, but he seems to cut through any hyper armor so you really have to time it right.
It's a NPC from the last area of the main game so basically it's scaled for it. It's not a surprise that he beats most of the bosses until the faces bosses actually scaled like him. Still hilarious to see a little NPC destroy most of the content though hehe
Really amazing video, there are so many great fights in this! Especially: (spoiler alert) He fought against Gundyr like a good player would do if using his character, the fight against Dragonslayer looked like two bros training, he did insanely well against Yhorm, he won against Aldrich even though he used two times arrows, the fact that it looked like he wanted to kick Lothric of the back of Lorian was hilarious as well as the aimless walking at second phase crystal Sage, and for the first time i saw what dancer actually does in her grab attack. Great video man, well done!
Fun fact: a near perfect replica of the Havel NPC is reached at minimum SL200, with Havel, fap and life ring all +3: 72 VIG, 37 END, 83 VIT, 50 STR DOESN'T work without an Ember EDIT: actually not fully possible. Havel can do 5 1H R1s and immediately kick, which means he has more than 211 stamina (limit at 99 END and FaP +3 is 190, while 5 1H R1s consume 210 stamina)
This effectively proves that if Havel's AI decides to not edge walk or spam kicks on giants who can't be kicked, he can beat every single boss except for the combined phases of the Soul of Cinder -- and he STILL KICKED ASS in these fights. This might not even be Havel the Rock himself, this might just be one of his knights. Astounding.
The original Havel made a spell that reflect all spells back. look up magic reflection it s powerful faith spell that gives massive magic protection. Ii believe it’s like 100 points serously if this was the real Havel… magic would be proxing 1’s
Well, it’s also the place where you are in the first Vort encounter. But yes, that place is usually for the boss, which is a title Vort does not deserve when it comes to facing Havel.
I love how the Havel knight isn’t designed to dodge, he just relies on his incredibly high defence and poise in order to tank everything that’s thrown at him. I fear what an army of Havel knights would look like.
Wow, this is pretty much the first time ever that Crystal Sage wins (not counting the old, now unavailable PO88 video where s/he beats Abyss Watchers), and it's vs. Havel!

EDIT4: Hm, Havel defeated Champion Gundyr fairly easily here, even though he gets beaten by him conclusively in BonfireVN's match. Did he get lucky with Champion Gundyr not grabbing him much, or is it just the lack of NG+7 buffs for Gundyr? EDIT5: Dragonslayer Armor losing this time, even though it won in the first video that was in Havel's arena, is just this incredibly dumb decision to switch to two-handed at the worst time possible.

Getting Yhorm to phase 2 is a big achievement, hell, not even soul of cinder, nameless king or twin princes did it by themselves... Also Ng and Ng+7 are totally different, there are some bosses that are way too buffed in Ng+7 (like Yhorm who has a whopping 60k hp while no other boss have more than 25k)
It’s crazy how Havel (Pretty Much Chunky Man God) can take not one but two direct hits from Aldrich’s Arrows when most Bosses died instantly if Aldrich used it even once.
Great video. I'm really surpised that Havel was able to bring Yhorm down to less than half HP. I feel like he would have killed Lothric and Lorian if he had been slightly more aggressive. Would love to see Blackflame Friede vs Knight Ledo.
He'd have killed them if he didn't have a pathing issue on Lorian then do two kicks on Lothric, who Havel's AI isn't programmed to recognize as someone who can't be kicked (that's the case for most bosses).
Fooking amazing... He alone managed to stagered Yhorm twice and left if with half life, he probably would killed him if he triggered critical animations in the head!
oh my god is no one gonna talk about the awesome play by havel to not get him killed by aldritch's arrows. He backsteped and used his weapon art making it literally cirle around him till it was done and tanked any minor scraps, if that ain't bout the smartest thing he coulda done i dont know what is cause i was for sure he woulda died to adlritch the first time those arrows hit him.
Havel was debateably on par with gwyn in power. He was above the knights including ornstein and artorias. He could easily kindle the flame if he hadnt hollowed
Havel and I have the same problem with the Sage. I rarely struggle with bosses like Dragonslayer Armour, Abyss Watchers, or Champion Stundyr but I SUCK at fighting the Sage (overconfidence) and Soul of Cinder (I get sloppy)
@@somethingsomewhere66 Almost the same experience with Nameless if I never fought pre-nerf Ancient Dragon lol his arena-sized one-hit-kill AOEs are burned to my memory forever.
Yhorm was considered durable and formidable even by giant standards, no surprise Havel lost. Without the Storm Ruler, he has one of the best defense in the game.
10:00 i love how sulyvahn tries to pull the whole “im gonna walk away last second to pretend that im not gonna attack” and then tries to bamboozle havel
8:53 Old demon king: oh, you have a good mace Havel: yeah, thx bro Old demon king: Do you like my mace? Havel: it is kinda cool Old demon king: THEN TAKE A LOOK CLOSER
So from this, we can deduce that Havel’s weakness is magic, teleportation, and clones. Therefore I’d love to see him square off with pin wheel. This will create a fight that would keep everyone on the edge of their seats
Since when can Havel bloodborne dash? And remember, it's cannon that there used to be legions of Havel knights. So if you think one Havel is scary then imagine a whole squad coming after you

He'd have killed them if he didn't have a pathing issue on Lorian then do two kicks on Lothric, who Havel's AI isn't programmed to recognize as someone who can't be kicked (that's the case for most bosses).
Dark souls bosses: use high levels of magic and experience of their weapons
Havel: P O I S E
Is it just me or does Havel have lion knight albert targeting?
He is designed to fight players and possibly Hawkwood, so his AI against multiple enemies might not be good.
@@thaias9654 true
Convinced that the lore for Albert includes a missing eye, thus the lack of depth perception.
I like how Havel be having a phase 2 like a boss
Fooking amazing... He alone managed to stagered Yhorm twice and left if with half life, he probably would killed him if he triggered critical animations in the head!
oh my god is no one gonna talk about the awesome play by havel to not get him killed by aldritch's arrows.
He backsteped and used his weapon art making it literally cirle around him till it was done and tanked any minor scraps, if that ain't bout the smartest thing
he coulda done i dont know what is cause i was for sure he woulda died to adlritch the first time those arrows hit him.
He also couldve just gotten out of the way.
The way Havel tanked the dancers grab attack has opened my eyes to his true strength
All i'm seeing is that real havel could have been the one to kindle the flame
And protect Anor Londo. And end the demonic threat. And kick the shit out of Lothric literally.
@@TheKrossRoads Hey fromsoft where's my Havel AU?
Havel was debateably on par with gwyn in power. He was above the knights including ornstein and artorias. He could easily kindle the flame if he hadnt hollowed
Player: Oh, hey look, that's some kind of a mini-boss:
Havel the mini-boss:
I like how HK just stood there at the beginning of the Pontiff fight. Like he knew he was the real boss.
Crystal Sage did so well!
12:49 Lets just take a moment to appreciate how sick that dodge was
8:31 bro havel just legit killed the abyss watcher with a clothesline kill. Bad. Ass.
the abyss watchers are fun to look at when they're juggling someone that isn't me
Havel needs to have his own boss fight.
Some dude in DS2 dlc sure did(wearing his stuff),
Yeah,in the DLC.
Imagine being a boss only to watch a smol tanky boi slowly aproaching you to perform forced surgery.
Boss: begins a terrifying second phase.
Havel: silently takes the dragon's tooth in a two-handed grip.
If havel two hands,you know that shis abot to go down
Havel and I have the same problem with the Sage. I rarely struggle with bosses like Dragonslayer Armour, Abyss Watchers, or Champion Stundyr but I SUCK at fighting the Sage (overconfidence) and Soul of Cinder (I get sloppy)
True with the Soul of Cinder. Peoples say that Nameless King is harder than SoC,but dude,I beated NK first try on journey 2 and SoC in 24 tries
@@nushunnume2150 heh, I destroyed soul of cinder first try in my first ever playthrough but still suffer ptsd from nameless king to this day
@@somethingsomewhere66 Almost the same experience with Nameless if I never fought pre-nerf Ancient Dragon lol his arena-sized one-hit-kill AOEs are burned to my memory forever.
Havel dodging and then destroying Aldrich was epic af.
they say that ai dontt have feelings but at 17:39 the consumed king was clearly pissed off and not letting up
“He’s just standing there, menacingly!! Get out of there pontiff!!”
"So, umm, what does he do?"
"He walks ...slowly."
pantagana is in awe watching yhorm barely escape back to his throne
I definitely didn't expect him to do that much damage to Yhorm.
Yhorm was considered durable and formidable even by giant standards, no surprise Havel lost. Without the Storm Ruler, he has one of the best defense in the game.
All these bosses with their fancy move sets.
Havel Knight: wall of stats.
what with the bloodborne dodges?
I like it better than rolling.
@@Pantagana was it already in the files or did you take it from bloodborne?
@@somethingsomewhere66 It's a mod, linked in the description.
10:00 i love how sulyvahn tries to pull the whole “im gonna walk away last second to pretend that im not gonna attack” and then tries to bamboozle havel
pontiff's endless stamina has no use against the incarnation of poise
8:53
Old demon king: oh, you have a good mace
Havel: yeah, thx bro
Old demon king: Do you like my mace?
Havel: it is kinda cool
Old demon king: THEN TAKE A LOOK CLOSER
Still,havel:"take a look at mine too then!"
Havel buffing during the Aldrich fight was top tier.
Havel: "So, you've activated my trap card, have you? Fool..."
12:18 best moment Havel with the hops
"The warriors who followed Havel the Rock never flinched, nor retreated from battle, crushing any foe that stood in their way."
So from this, we can deduce that Havel’s weakness is magic, teleportation, and clones. Therefore I’d love to see him square off with pin wheel. This will create a fight that would keep everyone on the edge of their seats
Actually there is a vedio out there title noc vs pinwheel, havel did not get damage and 2 hit pinwheel
He lost 4 fights that’s genuinely terrifying how powerful he is
That mage is brutal
Are we just not gonna talk about havel walking casually past one of potiff’s attacks
Havel the rock vs yhorm the mountain
7:22 *Battle of the Edgewalkers*
*Havel fighting Yhorm without the sword*
"What if makes it?"
"No one ever makes it without Storm Ruler."
"Yeah, yeah, I know... but what if he does?"
My boi Yhorm out-tanked him.
What I learned: Havel is great at 1v1 but for anything more than 1 enemy he struggles
As expected of the all powerful Crystal Sage, well done.
2/3 off of Yhorm simply by facetanking him is exactly what I'd expect from the legendary Havel
23:27 At this moment, Havel knew it was a bad time to wear dragon stone scale armor, only to get disrespected...
More havel.. i love havel and i love boss vs npc two thanks for video :)
Since when can Havel bloodborne dash?
And remember, it's cannon that there used to be legions of Havel knights. So if you think one Havel is scary then imagine a whole squad coming after you
Havel got Yohrm to his second phase now that is Impressive.
Aldrich: “I am Aldrich, Devourer of Gods!”
Havel: “And I, am no god.”
