Yeah the timing on that was more akin to a self destruct sequence, like Predator. I feel like if any of these bosses hopped over the melee knights and just took out the archers first, there'd be more victories. Their stacking poise damage was just too insane.
@@megalon_momentyeah he's actually god decent moves, somewhat easy to dodge most as a player but not something that doesn't dodge. He's just got joke stats, it's a shame because I actually think the dragon arm is pretty cool.
@@BjornTheBear if you are willing to do a stronger Godrick video take his reskinned model, Godefroy instead of his own because his second phase is a huge letdown
Malenia's fight went pretty much exactly as I thought it would. She typically gets slapped around by swarms in the first phase then makes a fight of it in the second. Have you ever done a Rick vs all bosses video yet? That squeaky toy SFX catches my by surprise and cracks me up every single time you sneak it in there. I love it. Keep up the great fights, I love the creativity.
Crazy that in every single boss rush you check, Astel usually demolishes whoever you are testing or gets really close to do so... that makes me wonder... can Prime Astel turn into Elden Astel?
I think it would be funny to see how a legion of NG+7 plants would do against all the remembrance bosses (and the Laser Golem). Failing that, a perfumer squadron might make for an interesting video.
It seems like Mogh almost always comes down to whether he lives long enough to Nihil. Which I guess makes sense, because Nihil is a devastating offensive move, a hefty heal, and arguably the most impactful phase transition of any boss all rolled into one. Only time I can recall it NOT being the deciding factor was against alexander and Blaidd and that was a really weird matchup because it was so heavily shaped by Alexander being immune to 2/3 of his kit and resistant to the last third.
I gotta cool idea, but I don't know if it works: Disable the fog gates on boss rooms and aggro all enemies to the boss to see who can survive the onslaught. Alternatively you could warp all the enemies in there a few at a time. I'm sure some baddies would get lost on the way but it sounds fun
I just started the video and I want to thank you for editing godric's cat scream. It makes my blood curdle everytime I hear it it's the most aggravating thing that I've seen on this game it's just the sound of his voice Wailin
Regarding the Godskin Duo issue, that is a long running issue. Been here since 4 Kings in DS1 so don't expect it to leave any time soon. If I remember how it works correctly its because it just duplicates all of the damage done to the constituent entities on the one that actually provides the HP bar and which is hidden somewhere off-map. Because the individuals can still 'take damage' while dying, this happens. However if you do want to stop that and don't mind doing some TAE editing, you should be able to hack it out by flagging the individual entity's Death Animations as 'Dodging' to make them immune to damage during these animations. I don't know if NPCs use the same FlagAsDodging that Players use, so instead of taking that one I would find the Bloodhound Knight and take theirs, since they definitely should have I-Frame's on their Bloodhound Steps. And given how radically this bug can skew results in these massive 'Army' battles I don't think anyone would mind that small mod.
Great content as usual Bjorn, amazing to see all those bosses insta-crushed, and Malenia, pierced to infinity by all those arrows. Btw, I miss some "Loretta action" on the vids, she's weak and all, but her moveset is awesome, maybe some overpowered meme-version of her, just like Rick, could give us a fine spectacle. P.S: I don't even play Elden Ring, but dug several hours on watching your mod battles and lore vids from Vaati and Smough. Game is so brilliantly designed that charms us even when you don't own it. I'll surely give it a try once dlc is lauched. And so glad if you read it all this far! Keep up the great job, I'm inclined to try the game just because of the external content, like yours!
Rick sending the knights out to kill all the other bosses and then killing them off is like in 40k the Emperor of Man wipes out the Thunder Warriors. Saddest deaths in anime ever.
The Mausoleum Knights definitely have the best kit since they can teleport around and are invincible while doing so Its basically like Bloodhound step in pvp
Seeing all these epic fights makes me want to play this game myself but then I remember that I'm a casual gamer and I fear that I would find elden ring more frustrating than entertaining
It really shows the importance of melee facetanking pressure along with ranged that it wasn't the usual bosses who won here, despite a couple of close calls. Elden Beast's efficient aggressiveness with ranged attacks so early on was... unusual? It's the closest any of the bosses got to a curbstomp, at any rate.
Something about Knights fighting the Elden Beast is just *chef's kiss*. Like...a bunch of humble but badass warriors going up against a cosmic deity. Just angelic with the soundtrack.
The metal gear rising music and rick yelling "im fekn invincible" was playing in my head when Rick was getting pumped full of arrows while slowly inching forward
Sweet, i feel like you could've made the archer line in back although its understandable why, since ya wanted to us to see the line of everyone present. Cant please everyone lol, keep up the good work!
I'd like to see you do "Can any boss survive NG+7 Maliketh?" I think it would be funny to see how fast he'd melt some of the larger bosses (Fire Giant, Placi, Elden Beast) lol
Pretty sure he'd beat every single one of the bosses, even Malenia with such a buff (especially if he starts at phase 2 full hp like in most videos on this channel)
@s8theninjawarrior916 Even so, I think it would be interesting to see. For me, Maliketh was always the hardest boss because you've practically got to no hit him because if he hits you he can really stack up that health drain and mess you up. I've always struggled more with Maliketh than any other boss in the game
@@D3monKilla_14 he's top 4 hardest imo. Behind Malenia, Final battle and Mohg. And I guess it'd be interesting but its gonna be a steamroll. The only 5% chance of possible challenge though is Malenia, all the others will die within 15 seconds
Your probably not going to see this but I'm wondering why you didn't include the Cleanrot Knights. Is it maybe because they're completely different mechanically & visually or they'd be to strong?
I feel like the army of Knights should have had to get through Rennala's Phase 1 at least to see if any of them got weakened at least a little from all the flying debris.
Can’t believe Godfrey took them all down with him except for that one guy who just said “Y’know what, I’m good” and dipped early. Genuinely one of the funniest things I’ve seen in these videos
19:21 rick had to teach his army a lesson when they lost to the dragon lord and Elden beast as a new assignment he told them to kill all the other dragons that threatened his rule he would deal with the other two
