My biggest letdown in Elden Ring is that Lichdragon Fortissax, the boss with the most metal name in the entire game, does not have an intro cinematic before fighting him. Absolutely criminal.
Also reaosnably low health for such a fantastic end game boss. placidusiax was given much better treatment than fortisaxx was, easily 2 of the best fights in the entire game
@GregoThe3rd agheel is unrionically one of my favorite bosses in the game. Due to having one of the best opening scenes where he swoops down and incinerates an island in front of you, and then is your first dragon you'll likely encounter, just makes it special compared to the other lesser dragons.
from a lore standpoint isn't he like really fucked up and barely alive during this fight? I wish the dragons in general were harded. ER is great but way easier to cheese than souls
@@pleasedonotvisitmychannel Yeah let me just play the game with a longsword and shield sounds great 🤡. What I'm saying is that new game feels a little too easy sometimes compared to bloodborne or souls 1.
@@pleasedonotvisitmychannel I have like 5 characters and 400 hours and I am saying to you that I feel a little disappointed by some of the bosses difficulty lmao.
For how amazing this boss fight is it really felt odd to me that Fortissax was not more durable. I get it though, he has been corrupted for who knows how long with deathblight. This is a pipedream wish, but for the Shadow of the Erdtree DLC I really want to see how strong Fortissax is without deathblight corrupting him.
@@thegazellion9920I wish they justified the low health with them being fast as fuck or a glass cannon, you can kill them, but he can just as easily kill you
@@bart5715 personally, Maliketh and Placidusax are cool, but I’ve always loved the four-winged four-legged dragon design, even before DS1. So a pitch black lichdragon fighting against death taking over its old friend wielding dual lightning spears in a technique named after him? I was losing my mind
I remember on my second playthrough I wanted to hear the OST in game (first time i beat him before the second phase could even drop) and when it dropped he flew into the air and did the sword spin. it was EPIC, my jay dropped and I got hit and died lmao. Also anyone else think that the lock on indicator makes it look like he has one eye and that makes him look even more menacing.
Fortissax is a victim of this games scaling. Most people don’t get to Deeproot Depths till late so they’re pretty over leveled for him. Still awesome tho.
Do it right and you can climb the deathblight spikes in the arena without breaking them. In the video its likely Fortissax or the player already broke the one it was on, leading to a floating message.
This fight was pain if u didn't summon or use magick to hit his head. U don't need only to fix ur eyes at his movements but also u need to watch over ur character in case the lightening aura which indicates an upcoming attack toward u.
Only competing with some Final Fantasies, or Monster Hunter. Even more interesting coincidence is that they're all Japanese games. They just know how to make dragons look epic.
why did this fight have to be locked behind gargoyle duo? the fight is so ridiculously unfair that I overleveled like crazy just to kill them, then this fight was drastically easier as a result. cool design, ost, and moveset, but being unable to fight it at an appropriate level because of how stupid the gargoyles are is sad
You can also access it at the Three Fingers’ basement - rolling into one of the walls dispels an illusion with a chest, and rolling into the next dispels an illusion leading to deeproot
@@stevenayala9873 well at least I know that for future playthroughs. does that mean D's quest will progress by me reaching there, or is that only by killing the gargoyles?
Still gets me 2 years later that this boss is glossed over because it’s tied to a sh*tty SIDEQUEST that most people aren’t even aware exists until they look at the wiki to see all possible endings. It also doesn’t help that this boss is WAY easier than the area you find it in, so most of the time you nuke it before you can get a good look or listen to it. Ahh. Elden Ring. I love how your nonlinear format ruins all of your best moments and boss fights. It’s like a child tripping over itself walking out the door.
really sad that they didn't give him crazy amounts of damage and hp, he could have been top tier if he was just a bit difficult to defeat since his abilites are beyond good
In this video I just wanna say…….. Death lightning needs a SERIOUS buff! For such an awesome boss! and pretty much a max faith requirement, Death lighting was done dirty Death lighting should have the same AOE as ancient dragon lighting and either A) Death blight builds quicker Or B) Death blight clouds last much longer How it’s balanced? Give Fortisax a waaaaaaaaaaay bigger health bar. He’s basically the end of Ranni’s quest line, you need to give Fia both curse marks in order to fight him The enemies you fight on the moongrazing altar are “seriously” scaled up, from Black Knife Tiche to that damn Red Wolf the area seems to have nearly the same scaling as Miquella’s Haligtree. Treat him like Placidusax an endgame boss. Lore wise he’s resisted the corruption of Death Blight to save his companion from his grim fate, give this character the respect he deserves, make him MUCH more difficult and make the reward for defeating him better! Shit, make Death Lighting take 3 slots instead of 2, just make his special ability better!
This fight was bonkers hard for both my sister and i, neither of us were near the endgame. Also Astel and Adula are more the end of Ranni's questline, although you need to reach a certain point of her questline for this fight this is the end of fia's

Sound design was trully worth it to Ragnarok, but soundtrack I agree with you. Elden Ring's is on another level
@@mateuslins51 Nah, Ragnarok is overrated, it is a good game but nothing worth an award.

This boss should be waaaaaay more stronger/harder

He was pretty bonkers to fight early with a melee build, harder than the twin gargoyles in my experience

Have you never seen placidisax nuke? Probably the coolest attack in Elden ring. Also all of Maliketh's anime moves are cool af

Lowkey (or maybe highkey) the best OST in Elden Ring
Godskin Apostles or Mohg for me, Erdtree Avatars have the best side boss OST. Not including DLC.
If only he plunged the second lightning bolt a bit faster to sync with the music. It would also make him a tougher fight
This boss is sick! Most TH-camrs just smoke him, but you actually showcase his abilities. Love the content!
I think they're not showcasing their were just struggling to survive 🤣
I find that fighting him right after Radahn/Nokron to actually be a good challenge.
Dumbest comment award
@@tingispingis I would be offended, but I realized someone called "tingis pingis" is calling me dumb
When the dragon flies up it looks like an angel of death.
0:37 - Fortissax yell: Sing! Sing the song of death!
Man this badass boss came out of nowhere. And the music, the skybox? Fuuuuck
Most screenshot worthy boss right here.
I remember on my second playthrough I wanted to hear the OST in game (first time i beat him before the second phase could even drop) and when it dropped he flew into the air and did the sword spin. it was EPIC, my jay dropped and I got hit and died lmao.

He actually does only have one eye, the right one is death blighted.
Kalameet from ds1 actually does have one eye like this. You should check out the game.
My favorite OST from Elden Ring is this one, it's so epic!
I got chills when I fought him
The ending caught me off-guard
Fortissax is a victim of this games scaling. Most people don’t get to Deeproot Depths till late so they’re pretty over leveled for him. Still awesome tho.
just love how it ends lmao
this could straight up just be the final boss of a final fantasy game put in elden ring, you could put this into any final fantasy and it would fit
The ending makes me crack up every time lmao
Even after Bayle he's still my favorite. Bayle's a close second though.
The 2nd phase made me cry In Real Life, when I pictured my drawings, felled, each 5 seconds.
Truly, A Lichdragon 46™ _moment..._
Amazing you found him before being overleveled
Bruh I regret cheesing every boss on release 💀
My only question is that message in the middle of the air
did someone write a message on his back? If not then how's that message in the air
Do it right and you can climb the deathblight spikes in the arena without breaking them. In the video its likely Fortissax or the player already broke the one it was on, leading to a floating message.
Now imagine seeing a film about ER, DS, Sekiro or frickin Bloodbornе...
