    10. Spirit-caller Snail - ROAD'S END CATACOMBS, found in eastern Liurnia south of the minor Erdtree
    9. Starscourge Radahn - found in Redmane Castle, in the Southern part of Caelid
    8. Godskin Apostle - Dominula, Windmill Village which is on the northern edge of the Altus Region
    7. Patches - found in Murkwater cave in the center of Limgrave, look for a cave entrance in the ravine filled with skeletons
    6. Mimic Tear - found in Nokron, which can only be accessed after defeating Starscourge Radahn and going down the giant hole in Limgrave formed by his comet, which is in South of Mistwood
    5. Wormface - the guardian of the Minor Erdtree at the center of Altus in the forest area
    4. Dragonkin Soldier of Nokstella - Found by exploring the ainsel river region, which can be accessed in the Liurnia region from the Ainsel River Well north of the Liurnia Divine tower
    3. Ancestor Spirit - found by lighting the fires at all of the monuments in the Siofra River area then going to Hallowhorn hall and interacting with the corpse. The area can be accessed from the Siofra River Well, which is found near the Minor Erdtree in Limgrave, in the mistwood forest.
    2. Ryckard - Found in the Volcano Manor at the top of Mt. Gelmir, which is in the western part of Atlus. Can only be accessed if you agree to help Lady Tanith and complete the questline there, a secret door can be found in the first room to the right after you've made enough progress with the quest. Kill the people she wants you to kill and talk to everyone and it should unlock.
    1. Astel - Found in the River of Rot, an area that can only be accessed by making a certain amount of progress in Ranni's Questline, which is too complicated to explain here -
    gameranx.com/features/id/2903...
    BONUS
    Malenia - Found in Miquella's Haligtree, a location that can only be reached by finding 2 parts of the Haligtree Secret Medallion. 1 is found in Castle Sol in the Mountaintop of the Giants and one is in the Village of the Albinaurics, a town build under a mountain to the west in Liurnia. There's a villager disguised as a pot hiding there: attack them to reveal the ruse and talk to them to get 1 half of the haligtree secret medallion. When you have both you get an alternate option at the Grand Lift of Rold that takes you to the Consecrated Snowfield and eventually the Haligtree.

    Quick note on #6 here. This boss will become an exact copy of you when you walk in. You can walk in wearing no armor and no weapons and then equip everything after he becomes you with no armor and no weapons. That said, the boss is usually fairly easy anyways since you are probably most familiar with your own weapons moveset and weaknesses above all else. Just thought that was cool.

    • @LotusBoi1989
      @LotusBoi1989 2 ปีที่แล้ว +27

      Except if you're a mage. Haven't fought this boss since the 1.03 patch where the mimic tear got nerfed, but before then this boss would be sooo hyper aggressive with spells, and have seemingly infinite FP, it was literally like facing a god version of yourself. The cheese where you just stroll in naked still worked, though.

    • @meyes1098
      @meyes1098 2 ปีที่แล้ว +12

      Me and a friend bugged this boss. So my friend was the host and I was the summon, he went in the arena and stayed back (we were like "I'm gonna fight your mimic tear solo and you fight mine solo") and I rushed ahead, and managed to hit the mimic tear while it was still a blob.
      When the blob transformed, it transformed into a random guy with random equipments that neither me nor my friend had.

    Astel, Naturalborn of the Void is one of the best boss fights I’ve ever experienced in any game. The scenery, mechanics, unique attacks, and design all work perfectly well together. The weapon you can unlock after the fight makes it even more worthwhile. If you missed this one, it’s worth taking one last trip to the Lake of Rot to find it.

    Tip for Malenia, Bleed and Mimic tear. That's it, really. She can be hit stunned provided she isn't doing certain attacks, so if you and the mimic beat on her enough you'll find she goes down a little easier than you'd think. I used a maxed out Flamberge and got her in about an hour and a half. That being said, she does have an aoe whirl wind attack that can be life ending very easily. If she does it on the mimic it's fine provided you've levelled it up. If she does it on you, however, well the only success I've found is to block the first aoe and dodge the next 2 since they're telegraphed and less dangerous overall. And uh, luck. Bit of luck.
