If you are familiar with the age old Ligma Balls trap, then it's another iteration on that, if you are not, it's simply a play on similar sounding words. In this case, the op replaced the "lay these" in Margit's signature line: "Lay these foolish ambitions to rest", with Ladies, which is pronounced pretty much exactly like "lay these", thus enabling it to be used as a sort of verbal trap for the Tarnished in this case. And if you're still confused, look up ligma balls, or alternatively, ladies nuts on your face.
Margit: *delays overhead attack* Me: *the instinct to dodge is conflicting with my logic to wait for the proper moment which is forcing me into a panic attack that will ultimately get me killed within the next 5 seconds*
Yeah but thay move is so easy, you just wait and watch his hand and arms and when you see they start to move you can roll or even do attacks while he's winding it up if the weapon is fast enough. I think Mohg has onr of the hardest dodge timings, his trident is so strange
@@BrokenMOJO | If you explore around Limgrave and the Weeping Peninsula before fighting him, you'll naturally get strong enough to make the fight quite easy.
@@PotatoPatatoVonSpudsworth Yeah, but that super delayed overhead swing of his staff is still really difficult to deal with the timing off. Not to mention if you try to abuse it to get more damage in he'll just got you with a conjured dagger instead.
To this day, i cannot believe how the bosses in this game just KEEP HOLDING that shit. Incredible animation btw, the char rolling around was beautifully made.
It's kind of annoying, cuz it can be used to mix up the ways a boss can attack, but they just over used it in this game imo. Should've been a few bosses that did it, not half of them
You can't believe that an AI program won't attack when programmed not to do so for specific intervals of time? If that's the case, I have a 2002 Tamagachi to sell you that will blow your mind. $60
Yeah, in Dark Souls 3, I think only Dancer, Lorian, the Nameless King (mostly him) and a few other DLC bosses have rollcatch intervals. In Elden Ring, even the Misbegotten does this.
@@MarzaButTube yeah but the game is already easy in so many other aspects. Taking the unpredictability of the bosses away would make it too easy. The game already gives you access to an insane amount of options and resources to overcome bosses if you need them.
As someone that's studied Margit's character model for anatomy practice/potential fanart, I seriously commend you for being able to animate his horns so consistently!! They are NOT that easy to untangle, much less draw repeatedly. And this is on top of your already dynamic style/staging, and excellent comic timing. I'm glad the algorithm dropped this in my feed. 😊 Well done!
@@walkinawesomeness I've personally been using videos from people like BonfireVN and Zullie the Witch, pausing the videos and taking screenshots for reference at different angles. Artbooks and screenshots are very helpful, but videos are even better! Gives you more angles to work with.
I like to imagine he isn't intentionally and tactically delaying his strikes, but that he forgotten to stretch before the fight, and is carefully trying not to hurt himself.
This animation is so well done that it's a travesty how few views it has, so I'm gonna rewatch this video a few times at 0.25 speed and hope that that will recommend this treat to more people. (God bless you and your research Spiffing Brit) Edit: it still looks amazing even at a quarter speed, reminds me of an episode of Samurai Jack
I think a quarter mil is a pretty good amount of views, but TH-cam is weird. They want every thing to have millions of views or not even be posted at all.
You can even stop strafing a bit before the attack comes down and it'll still whiff, if you're by his tail. Gives you a good opportunity to hit him with a full-charge RT.
Ohh I LOVE the animation here. How expressive this is. Nice details like the finger twitching. And the secondary movements on the coat fabric. Love that stuff. And how much this achieves with relatively few drawings per second at times. Great animation insp. Love it!!!!
It's worth noting that margit has 2 different attacks after the windup depending on how close you are. If you're distant, he'll jump towards you and swing the weapon horizontally instead of vertically like in the animation.
It’s actually two different attacks. In one he holds the staff with a hand at either end, in the other he holds the staff with both hands at the top. The first attack he can follow with another spinning swing (you can actually parry this) and the second he has no follow up to, so you can always get a hit on him, but only one or he’ll pull the dagger out (unless of course you were sensible and dodged behind him out of dagger reach).

Elden Ring boss fights be like: 7 hit uninterruptible combo, followed by a half-arena hop to prevent you from getting a hit in, followed by a 7 second long windup attack to close the distance that they'll instantly cancel into another, slightly different, 5 hit combo if you try to get a hit in, followed by a .05 second period you can actually get a hit in except just kidding that was a bait to get you in range of their grab that drains 75% of your healthbar, inflicts status, and kills your dog
@@laisraposodematosbezerra3778 damn I don't remember. Probably a paladin or something similar, I just remembered hating godrick. I've gotten better obv
I remember when elden ring first came out and margit held that attack, I just strafed around him while he followed holding the attack... and then just stopped? Like he lowered his cane like "Damnit, I didn't get this tarnished to roll around. Well played, foolish tarnished. Well played..." Then he crushed my puny form with his hammer
The way the intro plays like a badass start to a showy conflict (smoke flick with the axe was just *chef kiss*) and then devolves into a game of delayed wack-a-mole that everyone in this comment section feels kinship with makes this my favorite fanimation for ER so far. Beautifully done, I wish your channel the best!
When your games have spent over a decade being flanderized into being the dodge-roll games and you've forgotten how to make anything else all that remains for challenge is to make everything into a roll catch. Parrying? That's a conspiracy theory and I'll hear no more of it.
"How can we make bosses harder? Souls players are getting too good at our games and we need to challenge them more." Johnson: We could make unique mechanics that require the players to plan around and properly execute? "NAHHHH TO MUCH WORK" Jenkins: We could slightly delay every attack and add hitboxes to all sides? "JENKINS YOU ARE A GENIUS!"
@@apophis7712 yes. Once you recognize the patterns you’ll see a delayed attack and realize you can squeeze a light in and then roll or jump away. Godrick is a perfect example, Erdtree Avatar too.
idky i just got this recommended to me by youtube's algorithm, probably bc i like the topic and it's relevant again with the dlc coming out soon, and not 1 year ago, but i'm super glad it did bc that was funny af and sooo true for so many ppl who were all new to souls games with this title even vet's lmaoo also i like your animation style!
Great job at showing Margits insane wind up time but it fails to address that not only does he have that but also an extremely quick multiple weapon combo attack. He can also quickly stab with his holy weapon directly after big attacks when you’d think to punish.
I remember dying first time to Margit because I got hit by most of his attacks because I didn’t expect them to be slow as I had just defeated the boss in Castle mourne. Second time in I smashed him.

yeah, I'm stealing that

This is some serious high quality meming

You hope he's going to attack? What foolish ambitions. You should lay them to rest.
"They have 3 different attacks, of different speeds... ALL WITH THE SAME WIND UP!!"

"What do you mean some one did this before?"

A very funny bone.
Believe it or not, you can literally just walk around that attack to his back. Works like a charm.
You can even stop strafing a bit before the attack comes down and it'll still whiff, if you're by his tail. Gives you a good opportunity to hit him with a full-charge RT.
It was so funny when darksouls players came to ER on release and were absolutely flabbergasted when they had to do anything but hit the roll button

Margit: that's the neat part, you don't.
This is the best Elden Ring animation I’ve seen so far, please keep up the good work!

Margit’s Charge attacks are so slow that you honestly punish yourself when you mess it up or your way too nice to old people.🐱
