That roar has to be one of the most overpowered attacks in the game. Not only does it do ridiculous damage, but he quickly follows up with a second and third roar. Absolutely insane.
Definitely one of my biggest annoyances with Elden Ring is that bosses can spam one move pretty much infinitely. Placidusax and his teleporting, Malenia and her low triple slash - particularly in phase 2, and of course anything that Gideon does.
@@SRFriso94 Malenia becomes easy once you get used to dodging towards her sides instead of away from her. And in phase 2 you need to trigger her attacks a bit or she will never stop trying to cut distance. Gideon is a pushover if you have a heavy weapon, he wont have time to cast much
@@qualiswilliams7403 the only thing nerfed was a bit of damage and they made his hit boxes more fair, pretty sure his hp was never touched, so as long as the bird survived and this exact situation played how he'd have died similarly though the bird would have obv had less hp

For those who don’t know, the Death Birds were the original reapers of the lands between before the Erdtree changed the concept of death. They were the ones who carried souls to the next plane via the ghostflame they harbored. Most now only retain a fragment of their power, However their are some that still hold the strength of the ghost flame. These birds are labeled the death rite birds, wielding an ancient weapon known to channel the souls of the dammed as spears to slay troublesome foes. In the beginning the death birds were more flourished looking, not as skeletal as their starved appearance portrays. Flocking in feathers and showing good posture. After the Erdtree’s reckoning, the Death birds were left without purpose nor strength. They now stalk the lands between, sewing the souls of those they come across into their decaying body so that they may live another day It’s interesting to see how a once force of nature reaps what it sows
The cycles of power have always been a huge theme in fromsoft games. Erdtree and the shattering, these death rite birds before that, the alabaster lords before that etc... After the player beats the game a new age of stars/frenzy/order and they will replace each other over and over. The only things that seem to exist infinitely are the undead, or those who live in undeath. Same with the hollow in dark souls, they never change and cannot end but suffer every day as it is unnatural to exist outside of a cycle.
@@TzeentchLordofChange Even if you watch other videos this dude made, you'll see it 99% of the time opens with the damn fire breath. It's probably because he put the bird closer to EB, as all others usually spawned the correct distance away, but still. This 1% made all the difference.

It's because not locking on is better, which makes fighting them easier but still annoying, you still need to strafe/dodge his beak attacks and some magic attacks tho
I believe it's because it's normally supposed to knock you back, so you're not supposed to be hit by the entirety of the effect. But since most bosses cannot be knocked back, they take the entire screech as damage.

This one definitely felt more arbitrary than most due to how much of the birb's damage output comes from two moves that it seems to use at random. I was definitely expecting it to fall off harder against the late game bosses that do holy damage, but really only Maliketh got the curbstomp I was expecting.
Astel absolutely should have beat it, the ticking damage from that fire explosion is ridiculous. edit, just saw against the golem, 16000 damage in less than a second o-o
I mean, Radagon was curb stomping it right up until that absurd ticking fire damage attack. Its just stupid how much it does that he didnt manage even one more hit after that.
The little scream it does is probably the most broken attack in the game: it comes out super-fast with no wind-up or warning and just instantly eats around 20-25% of the other boss’ HP bar! 😮 Edit: Watch it annihilate Mogh 20:48 😅
I think it would be fun to have miniature versions of the bosses as summons. Like what if you used their "rememberances" and put them in an empty spirit vessel of some kind? Like a doll or something. Make it like half the size of the Tarnished lol. ....so basically I want a baby Elden Beast as a summon lmao
@@raiden2782 lolololol. That'd be fun though. And they could turn off the special mechanics of the boss. Like the "phases" and stuff. Just a teeny wittle Mohg lmao
Man I love Godfrey so much he is such a CHAD! The one big explosion attack that deleted almost every boss! CHADfrey took it like it was nothing and proceeded to make spaghetti out of the bird lol
Ghostflame is one of the most interesting concepts in the game, i wished we got more of it. Edit: according to some item descriptions, the Deathbirds have a god called "The Twin Bird" or something like this, the concept of Death is interesting already, knowing that there is a god of death (Twin Bird) makes me wish we get to fight it.
@@BjornTheBear The black flame is of divine origin and connected to Destined Death. The ghostflame was produced by burning corpses in pre-Golden Order funeral rites.
The death birdie could probably replace the laser golem in future videos, its clearly the most dangerous thing in this game that's not named either Malenia or Malekith and it has a more entertaining battle style for watching. The golem is strong but its usually just the same slow swing axe attack and then summon laser routine for 5 mins each fight.
@@praisethesun.praisedeussol6051 what are you sh/tting ? he didn't grab Astel he just attacked normally with the ghostflame and due to the large hitbox of astel he got deleted
Why does this bird do so much damage?!?!? It is no reason for it to have three seperet attacks that put end game boss to shame! WHAT WERE THEY THINKING!?!??!
@@gamingwithhusnain906 Black flame is what the godskins use and deal fire damage and damage over time health% Ghost flame is what the death birds use and deals magic damage and frostbite buildup
These attacks are not that powerful against the player, because they knock him down, making the player have invisisible frames and they do not get damage. Most bosses don't have i-frames, so they get all possible damage ticks, which add up to numbers over 10k. In addition, the strongest bird ability, Death Blight, which should instakill opponents after filling scale doesn't work due to the fact that bosses simply don't have the possibility to get this effect. It's the same nerf for bird as don't include Mohg's Nihil or Hoara's grabs.
You do understand boss are not balanced around other bosses right? It’s reasonable for the player due to their roll and not being an, well uhhh, NOT BEING AN AI.
People forget that in the lore she and Radagon originally fought each other. No clear victor was said, so it's implied they were working on similar playing fields, at least magically.
Malenia was practically working to hand the burb that win with how passive she was throughout...so random how she suddenly lays back with certain enemies or bosses I suppose we should be grateful that Hoarah was here to show everyone how it's properly done
Malenia has some phase where she input reads the player I think, so if the player does nothing, sometimes she'll just square off for a while waiting for you to make a move.
Also idk but she almost killed the birb before even hitting second phase, I mean rykard was closer to death than she was. Granted her healing passive definitely made it easier for her to win.
The moveset of the Deathrite birdies are insane. And so many of them can one-shot or practically one-shot you even if you have massive Vigor. Crazy. They had to have been designed with Co--Op and summons in mind. Although they are EZ PZ if you use holy pots or pure holy damage weapons.
The reason holy pots melt them is because you stack the holy vulnerability with the increased damage from hittimg the head. I dont think the elden beast ever got that bonus damage
wait what, "never fails to disappoint", i think you mean "never disappoints" what you said is basically that maliketh always disappoints, which doesn't mesh with the rest of your sentence. "never fails to disappoint" is used in a derogatory manner and means someone will never live up to expectations and will always act the way you expect them to.
I only knew this as the boss where you take 4k damage from standing under it longer than 3 seconds and get told you should have leveled vigor. Now I know it has the capacity to *catch Placidusax.* No wonder Marika outlawed death.
Death Rite Bird's commencing vertical missile barrage on Fire Giant and Elden Beast is a true Armored Core experience. It's like Answerer vs Cabracan/Stigro, and Answerer vs Motherwill. Good stuff.
I never realized how strong this one was. I’m assuming it’s the one next to Ordina by the frozen waterfall? I’ve never had trouble fighting the death rite birds, partially due to getting the dodge timing to a T, but this is crazy. I’ve actually died more times by the damn magic spamming mausoleum right next to it😂😂
Don't mention the mausoleum. I think i was on a hot streak for a while vs bosses and in general until i met my personal nemesis. Died like 10 times in 3 minutes b/c i was too stubborn and impatient. 🤣
Ehhhhhh Melania nukes them. The twins though are a strong duo. The AI usually acts accordingly some bosses on the other hand will either spam the same attack or will have a busted AI that won’t do anything. Maliketh sodes that more than any other boss from what I’ve seen.
I’m curious on how The strongest Magma Wyrm would be against all the bosses. And I’m glad that we are finally able to see the full power of the deathrite birb on everybody.
You should do a free for all with all the strongest NPCs in the game. This bird, the Black Birds in the mountain tops, the giant hand, the laser golem, the strongest Black Blade Kindred, maybe one of the lightning dragons in Farum Azula
You dont need a bunch of mobs. The golem at the bottom of series of drops in cailid, near to where you get the ash of war for completing the redmanes puzzle would be enough imo.
And if you actually do this, can you please add the hardest variant of the Revenants? I just thought about how ridiculous the ones in Miquella's Haligtree are. Well every Revenant in the game suck to deal with, but those ones in particular are awful unless you hit em with a couple Lord's Heal Incantations and can't forget the hardest rune bear
@@sterben_alone3083 I actually feel like the Revenants are the worst designed creatures in the game. What kind of shit design is a creature that your either need to spawn kill to get rid of or just face the fact that your gioing to die based on absurd rng. If your high rune levels of stupidity then nothing matters. For anyone trying to beat the game on sub level 100 though and on NG+ or ++ etc, their is no healing window, their is no dodge rolling, they do not stagger... The revenants at the bottom of the haligtree imo are fromsofts example of just an absolute trash designed creature. Even in the shunning grounds the ogres are a non issue, they stagger, they can be back stabbed, the revenant that spawns in the dark room at the bottom of the sewerage pipes is a fking abomination though. Having to use niche crap like bloodhounds step cheese or using faith heals as damage is not a well crafted solution. I think though the creature that would beat just about everything would be that laser golem near the bottom of the canyon where the redmane painting puzzles solution ash of war is. The thing isn't fast but its health pool is about 100 billion and its damage is bonkers. Fromsofts idea of a joke.
Snowy Farum is really cool Looking forward to see more of those map changes in future videos Imagine using the Fortissax or Frenzied Flame ending skyboxes in Chadfrey's arena
@@bird9172 They don't deal that much damage to the player. Like Radahn's Meteor and Godfrey's Earthshaker, it knocks the player down, leaving them unaffected by other damage ticks.
I honestly thought Radahn had a decent chance since he was getting in a fair bit of damage at range. And then the bird proceeded to evaporate Radahn’s health like it was water on the surface of the sun 😳😳
I love how the bird’s strongest attack is a scream. Man, Radahn got evaporated lmao, I love how Maliketh is the master of death, he always teaches the noobs how to actually use death, and damn Placi was stopped in his tracks.
I love birds in real life but birds in video games drive me crazy. I kept losing to this guy over and over again. I think it’s mainly the fact that he keeps moving around, but once you finally get close to him he’ll do some quick or powerful attack. So it really sucked to see him pull all of these wins out of his ass, snatching victory from the jaws of defeat. Still, I have to admit I’m a little impressed at how much damage he can do with the scream and aoe.
You realize everything you just stated is what every boss ever feels when they fight you? Edit: They’re impressed how much damage and aoe your screams do when you’re raging
I usually mention this as the boss I found to be the hardest- I know there are ways to cheese it, but fighting it straight on, as a mage, was a nightmare. I beat Malenia easily, but this thing really humbled me.
Man, this may be the best one yet! I couldn't even tell you how many times I had to rewind on some of those fights, it was crazy. Now I want to see a Deathrite Bird vs. Black Blade Kindred duel. I also don't feel as bad about losing to this guy so much, some of that damage is outrageous
According to the lore, the Twinbird Outer God (whom the Deathbirds serve) and the World-Devouring Serpent have a rivalry, hence why Rykard was able to beat this bird
Playing a faith build, breezed through every undead enemy until consecrated snowfeild. Got bopped by the bird near that towering albinauric idk how many times. Golden epitaph, litany of proper death, holy water pots, vigor at soft cap, still rolled me. Ran away in a very manly and heroic panic. It followed me up the cliff and fell off.
This is the only boss that makes Elden Stars descent. Be on NG+7. Agro and RUN! Be outside his kill zone but still be able to lock on. Spam Elden Stars to avoid this 1 shot machine!
too bad astels grab failed to work again, else he would probably have won that fight, think DRB was in kill range and it immediately bursted him afterwards
this series really makes me want to see a mod where two players control bosses of their choice scaled to around the same level and 1v1 with them honestly. or just an elden ring fighting game
That ghostflame ignition bomb is the most annoying attack these enemies have,the only reason I died so many times to them is because I was too slow to avoid the trailing ghostflame.
I think the farum azula greater ancient dragons should be in the video. They are like a buffed fusion of Fortisax and Lanseax. The one that lands on the bridge is super strong.
DRB has some absolutely ridiculous lethality. It seems like it could win every fight if it used certain moves more often. Quite vulnerable to stagger though.
Would love to see a redo of the godskin duo one, he got stuck on a mountain, that somehow ate his strongest attack, and in general he used very few of his more powerful attacks.
to be fair AoE attacks that just cover the ground are pretty broken is bvb fights... astel or fire giant for example would've clearly won but just couldn't move away from the flames
Then let Nihill treat opponents, too. Phases are phases because they count as parts of a single bossfight. Putting an entire boss against individual phases of other bosses is a mockery of original balance.
I feel like there’s 5 main things that lead a boss to being OP against other bosses 1. At least 1 move that hit’s multiple times/sends out many projectiles for decent damage 2. How often is this move used (is it used once? Is it used only during certain moments like phase 2 or phase 2 transition? 3. What status effects does the boss cause 4. Vitality check 5. Agressive boss (aka doesn’t edge walk constantly)
People say bleed builds are the strongest, but i disagree, icerind hatchet was beyond broken before nerf, death poker is still great , all the black flame and frost builds are way more damage dealing , icerind hatchet prenerf>rivers of blood

I really thought fire giant was going to pull it off. Should have kept smacking it with his lid
You know what, props to Renala for getting the bird down to half health.
She's a mage user

The little scream it does is probably the most broken attack in the game: it comes out super-fast with no wind-up or warning and just instantly eats around 20-25% of the other boss’ HP bar! 😮
Edit: Watch it annihilate Mogh 20:48 😅
That pissed me of i love me some good moghin
Along with singing mother bats scream.
I think it would be fun to have miniature versions of the bosses as summons. Like what if you used their "rememberances" and put them in an empty spirit vessel of some kind? Like a doll or something. Make it like half the size of the Tarnished lol.
....so basically I want a baby Elden Beast as a summon lmao
That would be absolutely broken imagine small mohg spamming nihil
@@raiden2782 Now I'm imagining little, high-pitched nihils.
@@delrunplays2903 lol that'd be so cute!!!
@@raiden2782 lolololol. That'd be fun though. And they could turn off the special mechanics of the boss. Like the "phases" and stuff. Just a teeny wittle Mohg lmao
@@ezkillionaire3276 still his moves would absolutely melt all bosses because of blood loss
Man I love Godfrey so much he is such a CHAD! The one big explosion attack that deleted almost every boss! CHADfrey took it like it was nothing and proceeded to make spaghetti out of the bird lol
Reason why he’s another of my favorites alongside Maliketh
Ghostflame is one of the most interesting concepts in the game, i wished we got more of it.
Edit: according to some item descriptions, the Deathbirds have a god called "The Twin Bird" or something like this, the concept of Death is interesting already, knowing that there is a god of death (Twin Bird) makes me wish we get to fight it.
Still can't quite understand the difference with the black flame tbh
@@BjornTheBear The black flame is of divine origin and connected to Destined Death. The ghostflame was produced by burning corpses in pre-Golden Order funeral rites.
@@BjornTheBear black flame is fire damage and has damage over time effect, ghostflame is magic damage and inflicts frostbite
@@simonbourdin2952 So you're saying ghostflame is produced by "soul" energy
@@BjornTheBear Ghosflame is actually white. We can see it more clearly on the torches that use the Ghosflame in the catacombs.
The death birdie could probably replace the laser golem in future videos, its clearly the most dangerous thing in this game that's not named either Malenia or Malekith and it has a more entertaining battle style for watching. The golem is strong but its usually just the same slow swing axe attack and then summon laser routine for 5 mins each fight.
Or keep both lol
@@BjornTheBearyep because lore wise, the birds were the strongest before the erdtree
5:43 - Holy shit that was perfectly timed. Astel probably would've won if he was able to dodge that, but he just got melted.
Astel was doing a grab there too. Seems a little unfair that the Death Rite Bird gets its grab, but Astel doesn't.
@@WillYum936 the bird attacked normally didn't do any grab
the bird also passed astel at landing the attack so it is completely fair
@@kaiserdetectivegolden2735 bro he grabbed Godrick 3 times and did to to mogh as well
@@praisethesun.praisedeussol6051 what are you sh/tting ?
he didn't grab Astel
he just attacked normally with the ghostflame and due to the large hitbox of astel he got deleted
Bjorn: "I enabled all grabs.."
Bird: "I know what I must do."
Auraloux: yes we do
I love how intense the music for Godrick's fight was yet really it was just him struggling to stay alive 💀
Fire Giant was like “No, I will not die, in Death we shall both be reborn together!”
TOGETHA!
@@piedpiper1185 Toga-there!!!
Why does this bird do so much damage?!?!? It is no reason for it to have three seperet attacks that put end game boss to shame! WHAT WERE THEY THINKING!?!??!
What make him op is black flam
And ghost death
@@gamingwithhusnain906 Black flame is what the godskins use and deal fire damage and damage over time health%
Ghost flame is what the death birds use and deals magic damage and frostbite buildup
These attacks are not that powerful against the player, because they knock him down, making the player have invisisible frames and they do not get damage. Most bosses don't have i-frames, so they get all possible damage ticks, which add up to numbers over 10k. In addition, the strongest bird ability, Death Blight, which should instakill opponents after filling scale doesn't work due to the fact that bosses simply don't have the possibility to get this effect. It's the same nerf for bird as don't include Mohg's Nihil or Hoara's grabs.
You do understand boss are not balanced around other bosses right? It’s reasonable for the player due to their roll and not being an, well uhhh, NOT BEING AN AI.
@@Xgenstudioz777the ghost flame explosion one shots most players as it deals more than 2000 dmg
I feel like despite being such an early game boss Rennala did some pretty respectable damage to it
People forget that in the lore she and Radagon originally fought each other. No clear victor was said, so it's implied they were working on similar playing fields, at least magically.
Malenia was practically working to hand the burb that win with how passive she was throughout...so random how she suddenly lays back with certain enemies or bosses
I suppose we should be grateful that Hoarah was here to show everyone how it's properly done
Malenia has some phase where she input reads the player I think, so if the player does nothing, sometimes she'll just square off for a while waiting for you to make a move.
Also idk but she almost killed the birb before even hitting second phase, I mean rykard was closer to death than she was. Granted her healing passive definitely made it easier for her to win.
@@taragnor If you space Melania well enough yourself she will also be extremely passive
She's not a very aggressive boss to be honest, lots of moments where she just walks or does slow attacks
Miyazaki got terrified of a bird's call once which is why the Death Rite Bird's scream attack is so insanely strong
Seriously? Is that true? Damn
Where tf did you read that
@@TherpThadSource: Trust me bro. Now give me my thumbs up.
The moveset of the Deathrite birdies are insane. And so many of them can one-shot or practically one-shot you even if you have massive Vigor. Crazy. They had to have been designed with Co--Op and summons in mind. Although they are EZ PZ if you use holy pots or pure holy damage weapons.
Yeah, I beat them using the the Halo Scythe. Miquella's Ring of Light deals with them especially well.
That was the strangest Elden Beast fight. I thought he could one shot the bird.
The reason holy pots melt them is because you stack the holy vulnerability with the increased damage from hittimg the head. I dont think the elden beast ever got that bonus damage
Maliketh never disappoints,hes soo cool and extremely powerful and almost never looses a fight
and doesn't afraid of anything
Worst sin FromSoftware has commited is make player fight Maliketh from half hp.
wait what, "never fails to disappoint", i think you mean "never disappoints" what you said is basically that maliketh always disappoints, which doesn't mesh with the rest of your sentence. "never fails to disappoint" is used in a derogatory manner and means someone will never live up to expectations and will always act the way you expect them to.
@@pajeetsingh true, he should have more hp and fight starting at 70%
Malekith in his own arena beats everything
I only knew this as the boss where you take 4k damage from standing under it longer than 3 seconds and get told you should have leveled vigor. Now I know it has the capacity to *catch Placidusax.* No wonder Marika outlawed death.
Death Rite Bird's commencing vertical missile barrage on Fire Giant and Elden Beast is a true Armored Core experience.
It's like Answerer vs Cabracan/Stigro, and Answerer vs Motherwill. Good stuff.
I never realized how strong this one was. I’m assuming it’s the one next to Ordina by the frozen waterfall? I’ve never had trouble fighting the death rite birds, partially due to getting the dodge timing to a T, but this is crazy. I’ve actually died more times by the damn magic spamming mausoleum right next to it😂😂
Don't mention the mausoleum. I think i was on a hot streak for a while vs bosses and in general until i met my personal nemesis. Died like 10 times in 3 minutes b/c i was too stubborn and impatient. 🤣
Godskin duo's AI just never stops surprising me , even the hardest of bosses are no match for them
True, although I feel like if the bird could’ve gotten off it’s nuke it would’ve won.
Even gave him the home court advantage
Ehhhhhh Melania nukes them. The twins though are a strong duo. The AI usually acts accordingly some bosses on the other hand will either spam the same attack or will have a busted AI that won’t do anything. Maliketh sodes that more than any other boss from what I’ve seen.
One of the bird's attack would have kill one of them at 13:48 if the ai wasn't targeting something else.
And the Noble's roll could've ended the fight instantly if the tracking wasn't broken against other bosses.
I’m curious on how The strongest Magma Wyrm would be against all the bosses. And I’m glad that we are finally able to see the full power of the deathrite birb on everybody.
Great Wyrm Theodorix?
@@hydroshock1853 yes and he did it already
You should do a free for all with all the strongest NPCs in the game. This bird, the Black Birds in the mountain tops, the giant hand, the laser golem, the strongest Black Blade Kindred, maybe one of the lightning dragons in Farum Azula
That would take quite the toll on the pc tho, lol
You dont need a bunch of mobs. The golem at the bottom of series of drops in cailid, near to where you get the ash of war for completing the redmanes puzzle would be enough imo.
And if you actually do this, can you please add the hardest variant of the Revenants? I just thought about how ridiculous the ones in Miquella's Haligtree are. Well every Revenant in the game suck to deal with, but those ones in particular are awful unless you hit em with a couple Lord's Heal Incantations and can't forget the hardest rune bear
@@sterben_alone3083 I actually feel like the Revenants are the worst designed creatures in the game. What kind of shit design is a creature that your either need to spawn kill to get rid of or just face the fact that your gioing to die based on absurd rng.
If your high rune levels of stupidity then nothing matters. For anyone trying to beat the game on sub level 100 though and on NG+ or ++ etc, their is no healing window, their is no dodge rolling, they do not stagger... The revenants at the bottom of the haligtree imo are fromsofts example of just an absolute trash designed creature.
Even in the shunning grounds the ogres are a non issue, they stagger, they can be back stabbed, the revenant that spawns in the dark room at the bottom of the sewerage pipes is a fking abomination though. Having to use niche crap like bloodhounds step cheese or using faith heals as damage is not a well crafted solution.
I think though the creature that would beat just about everything would be that laser golem near the bottom of the canyon where the redmane painting puzzles solution ash of war is.
The thing isn't fast but its health pool is about 100 billion and its damage is bonkers. Fromsofts idea of a joke.
Snowy Farum is really cool
Looking forward to see more of those map changes in future videos
Imagine using the Fortissax or Frenzied Flame ending skyboxes in Chadfrey's arena
Wow, Radahn got *melted* in one move.
It was so painful to see for a Radahn fan
@@BjornTheBear it’s weird how the rancour move does that much damage. I don’t remember it being that strong when I fought these chickens.
@@bird9172 it is
the north ones especially
Yes, Radahn felt his own medicine, lmao
@@bird9172 They don't deal that much damage to the player. Like Radahn's Meteor and Godfrey's Earthshaker, it knocks the player down, leaving them unaffected by other damage ticks.
Holy cow that grab attack the bird did on Mohg was brutal
Daddy Loux showing up literally everyone again through the power of protein shakes
I honestly thought Radahn had a decent chance since he was getting in a fair bit of damage at range.
And then the bird proceeded to evaporate Radahn’s health like it was water on the surface of the sun 😳😳
Definitely want that rematch for Radahn and Mohg.
The tic damage of the ghost flames that the bird leaves on the ground after his big AOE is something else...
That's so broken
It’s the most ridiculously OP move in the game by far, and don’t even get me started on the range of that attack.
I love how the bird’s strongest attack is a scream.
Man, Radahn got evaporated lmao, I love how Maliketh is the master of death, he always teaches the noobs how to actually use death, and damn Placi was stopped in his tracks.
A rare win for Rykard and the fight was actually fun to watch.
Rykard wins like 95% of the matchups. He is far too tanky.
what are you talking about? Rykard almost always wins. He just has too much health and permanent AoE staggering with his lava.
What other bosses have you seen best him? There's only a handful that can kill him
I remember finding out about this bird in new game+ 7, and let’s just say the fight took something from me that I’ll never get back😅😅😅
Damn! That bird wrecks. This is like watching a Japanese monster movie matchup. Subscribed
I wonder why it doesn't use its cry attack more often.
I love Ghostflame weapons, spells, and bosses no matter how OP each of these can be
I love birds in real life but birds in video games drive me crazy. I kept losing to this guy over and over again. I think it’s mainly the fact that he keeps moving around, but once you finally get close to him he’ll do some quick or powerful attack. So it really sucked to see him pull all of these wins out of his ass, snatching victory from the jaws of defeat. Still, I have to admit I’m a little impressed at how much damage he can do with the scream and aoe.
You realize everything you just stated is what every boss ever feels when they fight you?
Edit: They’re impressed how much damage and aoe your screams do when you’re raging
The one time I tooted for malenia after witnessing radahn get erased
I usually mention this as the boss I found to be the hardest- I know there are ways to cheese it, but fighting it straight on, as a mage, was a nightmare. I beat Malenia easily, but this thing really humbled me.
Same here, this thing took me more attempts to beat than Malenia
Maliketh brought _Death_ for death birds lol
Let's have birdie be a regular in these videos
Gideon couldn‘t even foresee, that he would „need help“, as he said it. So much for being all knowing
Hoarah out here humbling Death Rite Bird with that plunge attack cancel. My god that was beautiful. Truly the greatest gigachad
4:32 holy moly
The fact Maliketh was able to get through that attack is impressive, considering that staggered any other boss that got hit by it. 24:53
Me at 11:06:Birdie is gonna take a massive damage
Me 5 seconds later:Wtf?!
Now we only need somebody to stop Radahn during his meteor attack.
Ya frr, he like studied his attacks and remembered he was gonna fly towards him, he was like "nahh homie, I got something for that" lol
4:48 Honestly there's something enchanting about seeing two ethereal beings fight inside a damp cave.
Death bird: REEEEEEE
Morgott: Ahhhhh
Also rip astel
Man, this may be the best one yet! I couldn't even tell you how many times I had to rewind on some of those fights, it was crazy. Now I want to see a Deathrite Bird vs. Black Blade Kindred duel. I also don't feel as bad about losing to this guy so much, some of that damage is outrageous
According to the lore, the Twinbird Outer God (whom the Deathbirds serve) and the World-Devouring Serpent have a rivalry, hence why Rykard was able to beat this bird
I forgot the closer the Death Rite Bird is near death the more outrageous the attacks are lmao
There's something so satisfying watching such an OP enemy get absolutely curb stomped by Chadfrey using his bare hands
Playing a faith build, breezed through every undead enemy until consecrated snowfeild. Got bopped by the bird near that towering albinauric idk how many times. Golden epitaph, litany of proper death, holy water pots, vigor at soft cap, still rolled me. Ran away in a very manly and heroic panic. It followed me up the cliff and fell off.
😂😂😂😂😂😂
This is the only boss that makes Elden Stars descent.
Be on NG+7. Agro and RUN! Be outside his kill zone but still be able to lock on.
Spam Elden Stars to avoid this 1 shot machine!
The one in the mountaintops wasn't so bad to me but the consecrated snowfield deathrite bird was easily one of the toughest fights in the game for me
I cheesed it with holy weapons f that bird lol
Death Rite Bird charging up their longest and most powerful attack instead of getting the crit hit is every tarnished ever
Honestly compared to some of these guys, Rennala did great. I'd love to see every boss in the game in a free for all, if that's possible
Yea i couldnt kill this bird. I tried cheesing him and everything then found out he was optional and left his ass alone.
I love your videos, keep up the good work 👍
too bad astels grab failed to work again, else he would probably have won that fight, think DRB was in kill range and it immediately bursted him afterwards
You should do the full grown fallingstar beast if you haven’t already. I think it has an attack that does like 30k+ damage
4:33, 20:48 he used the "You lose move" LMAO
Make Ulcerated Tree Spirit or Avatar vs All Bosses
This would be a great one
Loving the variety of enemiy showcases! 👍
Its nice to see some new baddies duke it out
this series really makes me want to see a mod where two players control bosses of their choice scaled to around the same level and 1v1 with them honestly. or just an elden ring fighting game
That ghostflame ignition bomb is the most annoying attack these enemies have,the only reason I died so many times to them is because I was too slow to avoid the trailing ghostflame.
The birb literally one-shotting Radahn got me goooood
Who would win in a fight?
The most powerful demi-gods in all of the lands between OR one screamy birb
To this day i still believe the death rite bird to be one of the coolest enemies in Elden ring
Everytime I watch a video like this I root for Rennala and every time I’m disappointed. It’s like watching the Cleveland Browns. 😂
The bird scream is insanely strong!! I wanna Greyoll's roar like this!
Okay the way he shot down Placidusax at 11:03 was straight gangster.
I think the farum azula greater ancient dragons should be in the video. They are like a buffed fusion of Fortisax and Lanseax. The one that lands on the bridge is super strong.
DRB has some absolutely ridiculous lethality. It seems like it could win every fight if it used certain moves more often. Quite vulnerable to stagger though.
it makes me so unexplainably happy to see maliketh beat the big bird.
Wasn't expecting that brutal grab at 1:49
I'm surprised it lasted long against the holy-using bosses despite the extreme weakness the bird has to holy damage
Would love to see a redo of the godskin duo one, he got stuck on a mountain, that somehow ate his strongest attack, and in general he used very few of his more powerful attacks.
to be fair AoE attacks that just cover the ground are pretty broken is bvb fights... astel or fire giant for example would've clearly won but just couldn't move away from the flames
So many good moments! Also, Malenia's opponents should heal on her transition, I think. Same as with Radagon/Beast.
I disagree. Phase 2 Malenia is Phase 2 Malenia, not Phase 1 something else. It's the same reason Maliketh and Loux don't heal when they transition.
@@logicmage241 did you actually read what the guy typed?
Then let Nihill treat opponents, too. Phases are phases because they count as parts of a single bossfight. Putting an entire boss against individual phases of other bosses is a mockery of original balance.
@@sealordx2700 My eyes were taken from me by powers I wish not to explain
I feel like there’s 5 main things that lead a boss to being OP against other bosses
1. At least 1 move that hit’s multiple times/sends out many projectiles for decent damage
2. How often is this move used (is it used once? Is it used only during certain moments like phase 2 or phase 2 transition?
3. What status effects does the boss cause
4. Vitality check
5. Agressive boss (aka doesn’t edge walk constantly)
I’d rather fight 100 snowfield runebears than ever face this fucking thing again, imagine how strong the DLC variants will be
People say bleed builds are the strongest, but i disagree, icerind hatchet was beyond broken before nerf, death poker is still great , all the black flame and frost builds are way more damage dealing , icerind hatchet prenerf>rivers of blood
