Thanks for producing and posting this. I killed him using Night Maiden's Mist. Cast it behind him, ran to the doors of the Sanctum and cast it there again, then ran inside. Rinse repeat until he was dead. I have come across a lot of bosses that were immune to poison and scarlet rot, but have not yet encountered any immune to Night Maiden's Mist.
Night Maiden's Mist is one of my favorite spells. I was considering doing a run using only that spell but don't really know if it'll be interesting enough.
@@snunpai I tend to venture into areas and battle bosses that are a little high for my level. Night Maiden's Mist has saved me from levelling up and coming back later. If one can get above an enemy and target them, NMM will drift down to them and kill them. I remember using it to kill the 2 Iron Maiden's in Volcano Manor when I was transported there by the Iron Maiden in Raya Lucaria. I got on a rock and cast in down on them, taking no damage from them.
@@SmaugTheTremendous-z1eOne needs to progress Millicent's questline, which begins after interacting with Gowry @ Gowry's Shack. There are quite a few videos on how to progress the questline. I am pretty sure it becomes available after giving Gowry the Unalloyed Gold Needle. To get Pest Threads, which is an awesome incantation one needs to give Millicent, Millicent's Prothesis, then return to Gowry.
Just did it with the latest patch, it works. I highly recommend crouching behind the right pillar as it still keeps the agro but protects you from his ranged missile/ray attack. Once he loses agro, you just need to step in front of the door exactly in front of the half circle design in the floor, and that resets the agro immediately.
This monster is like end game boss- hard. Im lv. 86 and he practically one-shots me. Im playing the unpatched version and I promise, I died more times to this fucker, than to Radahn.
works as of 6/25/24 this helped me tyty. also he hit me alot when i was inside the temple and i used all my potions and had to use warming stones to stay alive hahaha
Still works, but it takes a while. My suggestion is go to Siofra River first: there you will find all the glovewort to upgrade Latenna to +5. This will boost her damage a bit. You can buy some dwelling arrows or craft some magic bolts (he's weaker to magic) and help Latenna out by also shooting through the door. But if you are not careful he might roar at you while you are stuck in your shooting animation so pick your shots carefully. Don't forget to have a golden fowl foot ready for more runes when he dies.
Just wanted to confirm this still works! I took me quite a few tries, but the main point is you have to keep the attention on you and also not get killed lol I used lightning bolt and then arrows when I ran out of fp. Once he’s at the door I would hide behind the first pillars, his attacks will break them but if you’re crouching they still work. Just keep on drawing his attention as he starts walking backwards.
I appreciate the good effort! Another good cheese I do for him is using Night Maiden's Mist. He likes to sit at the doorway, so if you drop the Mist there he'll just eat the entire spell.
I just used the nature bowman dude, didn’t cheese him or anything but that dude is a straight up tank somehow lives like 8 or so hits off this guy and is able to pump decent damage while I aggro him. Took me about an hour or so but I did learn his move set, it was kind of a fun boss IMO other than some timing things I have an issue with lol.
I'm not a fan of his movement/animations. They're unintuitive and only serve to prey on your natural reaction to what you see. For example, the move I hate the most is when he strafes left or right and does a delayed wide swing. The camera gets weird, he can dead angle your shield, and your rolling is off. I actually hate the putrescent knight for the same reason.
I have the entire run recorded, I just need the time to properly edit and cut it. It's particularly long otherwise but I'm trying to make it as succinct as possible.
Tried a bunch, not a great strat, Latenna draws aggro way too easily, especially when Kindred randomly decides to teleport, and once that happens she's dead, no exceptions.
The positioning has to be pretty accurate. Latenna can't be placed anywhere on the edge of the summoning range for this to work. I've only put her up on that tree though so I don't know another applicable spot.
The ancestor doesn't have the same range, and will actively walk into melee range rather than being stationary. I imagine he'd fire a few shots but start drawing agro as he approaches.
I'm guessing you mean the Commander's Standard, it buffs you and your allies damage for a little while. It's good to start any fight with but most people don't maintain the buff.
I beat him at level 70, I put laetnna is same spot as video and put ash war glintblade phalanx on my +8 lordsworn greatsword and just kept medium distance from the boss and kept using the ash, every three hits of the ash assuming all 4 swords hit each time will stagger him , then take one free shot at his head and then riposte him, it took about 7-8 staggers with laetnna constantly shooting at him to kill him, this strat took me about 5 tried but I kept getting him more than halfway till I finally got him, use that one bubble tear which gives you one free hit where you take no damage and I used medallions and buffs that reduce physical damage just in case I got hit
She'll definitely get one shot if she takes agro. The idea is staying far away enough so he doesn't agro. I do fully agree he's a slog. Learning his moveset is asinine because of his mixups and his obscene repositioning for attacks.
@@snunpai thanks brother for your reply. He is a NIGHTMARE. I finally beat him. He is ultrafast, mix-ups; and he is damn scary as hell. I am 42 years old grown ass man working as a professor but I did get scared of this dude !!!!! The other tough one is Godskin apostle. Putrid avatar, I learned all his move-sets and beat him by beating all his move-sets. But some enemies are just ....hahaha......a nightmare.
Any duo boss is irritating but not as stressful as Black Bird Kindred to me. Valiants have a good arena to split them up, I usually just fullsend the first one before the second one even gets close.
Thanks! I’d try this myself . I share your sentiment about this fucking boss. Hardest for me (for me atleast). Gimme Malenia / Malkeith / 1v1 Radahn / or this birdie’s 2 bros but this fucker just kills me no sweat.
I think Maliketh is a tad bit harder than Malenia. Maliketh to me is a one-shot by proxy only due to the health decrease, but he has low HP so it's okay. Black Blade Kindred is just... IS a one shot.
@@jayce4326 Arguably, everyone's moves are telegraphed. I find it difficult for me to dodge kindred anyway. For example, I'm not good at reading the sword move where he strafes to your side or the one where he swings five times and ends with a slam. Of course, that doesn't make it any less telegraphed. That's simply me not being able to read it. I can read Malenia to the point of not getting hit but I wouldn't argue that it's because all her moves are telegraphed. It's just compatibility. Malenia feels like a Sekiro boss which I'm very used to.
@@snunpai I'm at the point of playing with builds now (mastered the gameplay) and I can say that I can read BBK like a book nowadays.. that being said, i'd still say he's broken af. uneven fighting arena, incredible dmg (even at 55 vigor) fast moveset.. I'd say wait til he use his halberd. easier to dodge with him using it. I agree about Malenia tho. Tbh a lot of endgame bosses are Sekiro type of enemies trapped in a Dark Souls-Bloodborne-ish moveset. Malenia for all the obvious reasons, Alecto the ringleader is another, Gurranq/Maliketh also.. Hoarah Loux is an amped up version of the Ogre in Sekiro..
@@snunpai another thing.. I have a motto when it comes to Elden Ring: the game goes out of its way to cheese the player, cheese it back! if the player play the game the way the devs wanted you to play, you'll find it the easiest soulsbornedenringkiro game. if you play it like a purist (quality all the way, no summon etc...) you'll have a harder way.. for some neckbeard who'll gatekeep me, i finished my first playthrough with Dex/Str all the way.
I can be. At d*** near every other boss in the game.On second try and that's not a joke. I beat rahdan 1st try lvl 70, queen renala 2nd try level 35,list goes on THIS MOFO I CANT EVEN GET TO HALF HEALTH
It's easy to overestimate the safety of the building. There's nothing Latenna can do to make dodging his projectiles easier. It's ultimately about finding a method that works for you to survive long enough for Latenna to do her job. You could use Quickstep/Mist Raptor/Ritual Shield Tali to make up for bad dodges.
@@Levelord92 You don't have to dodge *all* of them. Making a few mistakes and getting hit is fine. Quickstep or Raptor's Mist can help out with dodging. Even blocking would be okay if you're not confident. Personally, I learned to dodge the projectiles by holding block while facing him and attempting to roll through it. I always rolled too late so I'd end up blocking it instead. It helped make up for mistakes until I got the hang of it.

This still works in case you're wondering. Such a nice strat!
Well that was impressive. Different ways to beat the game . Keeps things fresh

Thank you very much. This dude was pushing my shit in over and over
Wish you had talked in this video man, you make the video entertaining

At some point you have to fight 2
Elden ring is the greatest game I ever played. Damn addictive. Screwing with my work ethic and routine. hahaha.
Amd they say this game is difficult. Been awhile since I commented, but great to see ur still on the grind my dude
Good to see your comment!
He roared on Latenna and she fell off the tree. N roared in the temple until he aggroed Gurrank n the rest was history
works as of 6/25/24
this helped me tyty. also he hit me alot when i was inside the temple and i used all my potions and had to use warming stones to stay alive hahaha

bro each fucking time im abt to kill him he charges at latenna for some reason and then one shots me FUCKING GAME

Ru on pc like u said i have to keep attention off of him
It is currently working :) thanks man !
still works thank you so much
This method still works
He focuses on her and she doesn't last.
Yep i think they fixed it
I had to give up. Got a ways through his health, but he either turns on Latenna or roasts me to death. :(
I appreciate the good effort! Another good cheese I do for him is using Night Maiden's Mist. He likes to sit at the doorway, so if you drop the Mist there he'll just eat the entire spell.
@@snunpai Thanks, for the advice, Snuny. I could only upgrade Latenna to a +4, so that's probably why I had trouble. Appreciate your response!

Did this with the ice dragon in the mountaintop of the giants kept on hitting the feet of the dragon then gallop far
Out of the 2 weapons you get the sword is pretty nice but I don’t think it’s worth the effort tbh 😭
I don't even want to put in the effort to learn him properly. Like I can, I know I'm capable of it. But I don't want to at all!
That is SO cool! Extremely clever. 👍
Hey, great video. Are you still gonna upload your latenna only run videos? I would really love to see it.

Why no one is adding this boss in the hardest boss list?
Theres no such thing as cheesing this bosd its simply making it a fair fight
damn you really like latenna
Does it work if you use the Ancestral follower ashes instead
The ancestor doesn't have the same range, and will actively walk into melee range rather than being stationary. I imagine he'd fire a few shots but start drawing agro as he approaches.
What upgrade is latenna there? Mine is +5 and is barely doing damage😊
Mine is 8 in that video I think
Thank you!
Any other way to kill this thing. It is unkillable
Biggest brain strate
what was that red thing you did?
I'm guessing you mean the Commander's Standard, it buffs you and your allies damage for a little while. It's good to start any fight with but most people don't maintain the buff.

Latenna dosnt work. He one shots her.
Trying to learn his mechanics is more or less futile, he is ultra fast.

just get good bro
