fun thing is that jumping some attacks is actually much easier (more lenient on s and air time) than dodging them... if you are good enough to know which one and remember to do so, not like me :D I found out when I played with smithscript cirque. Best tactic with that weapon is to jumpR2 back or to side while pummeling boss with those throws... And I got incredibly surprised that bosses suddenly miss half of their moves :D Putrescent knight for example has almost all of his attacks easily jumpable.
As always, the optimisation is most impressive, a pity we didn't get to see the Thrusting shield utilised offensively (yet). 0:32 sexy dodges. 1:35 can't comprehend what happened there. 2:46 parrying the super combo, no hesitation!
Ongbal, you don’t need to say no damage on the title of your videos, the moment people see what channel posted the video, your name is a synonym for no damage. Your name has earned that regard at this point.
@@hensinks I've seen you comment on multiple chats of Ongbals downplaying peoples comments about his style. Are you really that pissed that he's better than you?
I just beat him after like 15 tries at RL 178 with Giant Crusher, all fire defensive buffs I could stack and with a lot of swearing, and you make him look like a noob. You’re truly a legend.
Ok but the way you rolled with him to both dodge the attack and finish the animation right in front of him so you could immediately punish. That was just... *chef's kiss*
Ongbal, i really enjoy you showing different thematic builds to take down bosses in your recent videos. I have a suggestion for you though, given your immense knowledge of the game I would like to see you enter a phase two as well where you use your most powerful attacks as the boss enters its 2nd phase. It should feel like a boss vs boss fight, and that would really show off all the crazy stuff you can do in the game.
0:32 - Man, cinema fight choreographers wish they had this much style: Dodge roll right, dodge roll left...roll right, roll left, poke, roll towards, parry, magic sword slash...roll back, roll back, poke-poke, roll towards, parry, magic sword slash. 0:48
The main gauche and casting thrusting sword (I forget the name) has provided me with the most fun I’ve ever had with the game. I never finished an actual int playhtrough cause I found it boring to my usual play style. I’ve finished Elden ring maybe ten times and eight of them were pure strength, and two were str/fth (I love great swords and straight swords). When I found those two weapons I thought maybe it would be fun so I respecced and holy crap you gotta try that combo if you haven’t already. I love melee combat so I only use defensive and melee spells + Zamor ice storm for some aoe to accommodate my preferred play style. It is an absolute blast if you force yourself to rely on the parry as much as possible. I cannot recommend doing an ng+ run with that set up enough and I was thrilled to see my build here and it being used so masterfully
@@captaincs8440 chilling most and gavel of haima work great after after a riposte or before a series of power stance attacks, and Miriam’s vanishing works great after a backstop attack. Carian piercer is great after feints and also Miriam’s vanishing. I’ve also been using cannon of haima to soften up crowds, it comboes great with zamor ice storm in pve. Carian slicer is even great for when you have to use impaling thrust on shielded enemies. For bosses, stick to parrying as much as possible and chilling most on the riposte, maybe mix in a few Carian slicers. The rest won’t do you good. I haven’t tried gravity sorceries with this build but I imagine they’d be great Depending on your aggression level and reliance on frost spells, either ice or fire infused main gauche will both serve you well
Man this whole combination of weapons is genius, i never find the use of weapon arts to be cool when power stancing, it just doesn’t look right, neither do strong attacks, but using a weapons that doesn’t have strong attacks + other weapons that the weapon art makes sense is beautifull, and gives this dagger a purpose in life
What I love about this guy is he always does such low amounts of damage, which seems to be on purpose to show he isn’t rushing through the fight, he knows exactly what to do and can take all the time he wants to do the fight.
0:26 Friendly warning to anyone who attempts to use the strategies presented in these videos like I do: Do NOT attempt to do this without the crucible talisman that improves backteps. You will still get grabbed because the base backstep has little to no I frames on it
Every move he make calculated and formulized before the fight. He brings 2 mana pots, exactly knows where to stagger etc. This way he can show us the perfect fight with diffrent spells and strategies. I also want to know if main gauche's parry window is better than buckler? Cuz it seems so
"Someone must extinguish thy flame"
"Let it be Ongbal the Swell"
Lol
Messmer: Why can´t this kid leave me alone?
Isshin: First Time?
"even my glock couldn't slow him down, don't feel bad"
That would make more sense for Radhan, considering how many videos he has of him compared to the other bosses
@@YEY0806 Check the channel and say that again lmao, there are years of Isshin bullying from before Elden Ring ever released.
@@Ron_Jambo_ I meant for the DLC
@@YEY0806 Ah yes in this case I think you're right Radhan must be the most bullied so far
I could watch ongbal fight elden ring bosses for hours on end. He’s one of the few players showing how many tools you can utilise for boss fights and make the most of the game’s combat.
Tbh most of those tools are for show and deal less damage than just spamming weapon attack
@@Navhkrin unless u care about optimising damage, most tools can be pretty viable
Even Miyazaki is probably surprised
Much more impressive than buffing for 2 minutes and killing the boss in 3 hits, and more entertaining than an RL 1 kill.
@@visceral1funny thing is, often times buffing for 2 min to kill the boss in 3 hits is also done at rl1 lol

@@lukassmida4885 the bottom half of your character does get s, there's some videos that break it down.

Nice to see what is effectively a "parry-assisted" playstyle, where you mix parries in with other attacks.
I really like that about his videos in general that he can use whatever to overcome victorious

Ongbal has the most beautiful playstyle. His use of tools and knowledge about how he can use certain moves as a dodge and attack together.
He's a master.
Everyone: you can't parry Mesmer
Ongbal:
Not just that, but also choosing the most inferior parrying tool for extra challenge!
@@Leo-ym5xnit's not the most inferior tho. This dagger has more frames than other daggers with parry aow, because it's specifically made for parry
@@senjai77308🤓
I'm bad and I can parry him
Yeah it's probably the second best option, the difference with buckler is of a couple frames that's all@@Leo-ym5xn

Ongbal makes ER look so poetic 🥲Using everything in his Arsenal.
He's not the only one who can do no damage boss fight but he's really the best at showing how fancy the fight can be. Kudos to you, Ongbal.
The dedication to your theme and killing Mesmer with the god-killing flame, ist just applaudable! I enjoy every fight I see from you. :3
It's amazing how flavorful your boss kills are. Varied loadouts every time, tight opportunity timing, you're always wrecking house
Frost & Ghostflame are a really cool theme for countering Messemer, and as always, plenty of style makes the flawless presentation even better!
yeah, meanwhile I killed this boss by spamming sword dance on every opening lmao... it worked, but it really wasnt that cinematic :D
As always, the optimisation is most impressive, a pity we didn't get to see the Thrusting shield utilised offensively (yet).
0:32 sexy dodges.
1:35 can't comprehend what happened there.
2:46 parrying the super combo, no hesitation!
I usually use Thrusting shield with Deflection Tear. Maybe I'll post about that later :)
Thrusting Shield are so good but it's kinda underated probably cuz ppl think it's just a shield lol
1:35 that's the fine crucible feather talisman at work, improves backsteps
Song of ice and fire ❤
the true heir to the Iron Throne, His Grace, ONGBAL
The way you handled that attack at 1:34 makes me question my life choices
It's a talisman that gives invincibility on backsteps. The Fine Crucible Feather Talisman.

that back step dodge at 2:00 looked epic af, way more badass than a roll for some reason
Poor guy just wants his mother, you didn't have to be so... cold
I love watching you play these games, such a cool approach, so stylish, so effortless niccceeeeee 😎
I wish there was a boss replay feature like in sekiro so i could learn this boss better.
smooth as butter 🤣 incredible movement! ❤️

Oh my god, this is beautiful
you still have a chance to call the vid "a song of ice and fire"
That was such an incredible fight 🤩
to know which strikes can be parried, which can be jumped and so on. amazing as usual.
Imagine the terror of being a demigod and seeing this man entering your arena with just a loincloth...
I looooove how Messmers boss theme is an homage to radagons boss theme. I can definitely here the similarities
Looks like I'm not the only one who heard the similarity, starts at 1:00 you can definitely hear Radagon's theme.
02:02 look exactly like the shed skin of snake in bonny village , frost effect made the snake white here
The model is actually the same as ones you can find in rykards castle. So it might be the origin of the snake.
Beautiful play, very creative as usual.
In my play through, I only found one attack that can be parried. Thank you for showing me how bad I am at parrying.
Dude something about how you did a quick jump and gave those 2 quick slashes while still in the air at like 0:18 was SOOOO CLEAN
Babe wake up, new Ongbal video just dropped 🗣🗣🗣
This dude is a Greater Will itself 😮
Using up a talisman slot to flex backsteps at 1:34 and 2:00 is insane
Really thinking that ongbal is the boss fight of every bosses ever created in elden ring
I was convinced you couldnt parry messmer and this video proved me wrong 😂😅
The song of Ice and Fire..Onbal the Conqueror
Messmer is mechanically the best boss from has ever created barring isshin and owl father. Fight me.
