Lore wise, its likely the abyss watcher fight began like this: Extremely chaotic and violent, and by the time we get to them, only the last few stong ones haven't gone hollow, and remain fighting to the end
Abyss Watchers: "Wait, lads. He's over there!" "Oh!" "Oh!" "Oh!" "Who is?" "Get him!" "Cut off his legs!" "Impale his skull!" "Eat his testicles!" "Wait. What?" "Carl, was that you?" "it was James. See his eyes? poor bloke." "Argh! Who stabbed me?" "Sorry, chap. thought you were someone else." "who has tea?"
Probably because when the watchers spawn in in the first phase there’s like a max of 3 besides the main one, of which one always aggros on you and the rest attack the main boss. Meaning with 99, theres like 20 or sum ones that will attack you
@@juvesidc5960 As far as I can tell, the main one and one other gang up on you, and the third one, ol red eyes, attacks the other two, cus he's corrupted or something, though he can still hit you if your not careful.
@@plumcave9942 it depends on who he sees first when he spawns in, if you happen to be the first thingthe red eyed watcher see, he won't attack the other two unless he gets hit by one of them.
I think the thing I love about all the bosses dying at once is the fact that all of their particle effects compound and it ends up looking like a brilliant nuke just went off.
I fucking died each time he entered the abyss watchers arena "Ay yo, watchy dudes, what's poppi- uh you guys seem busy, I think I'll leave you to your busine- WAIT I'M NOT CONSUMED BY THE ABYSS, I'M NOT CONSU-" *dies*
the fun part of the abyss watcher section is that the boss room propably looked like that before you entered it. in the story those corpse piles had to come from something :)
Bro these videos just made me a fan of this game! Part 1 and 2 are sick!!! The Abyss watchers is my favorite! Lol I learned their name from the comments... Good stuff!!!
The most frightening thing about this video is the frame rate. I remember how difficult abyss watchers fight was the first time going into ds3. Fighting 99 is like fighting Saurons Army, and fighting 99 lords of cinder is like fighting 99 saurons.
Ooh this was definitelly done with all gael in mind! Some strats: Giant door shield might be better? Use magic shield for 100 stability Coop can massively help, stacking heals, diverting attention (maybr even using skull ring/atonement/moaning shield) They may even heal from outside! Lifesteal bug which full heals you using pontif's left eye/wolf sword or just lifehunt scythe Grabs give i frames, might actually be a good thing Positioning matters, alcove helped with abyss watchers and would prolly help with others Obv max level and get better equipment
@@Pantagana I mean this doesn't even count as challanges anymore,more like "how much bull shit can player character can deal with" experiments.If 99 geal looks hard then 99 midir will be hyper version of that thing lmao.
Only was I could think of actually doing stuff like this is with specific max level builds. Meaning things like chaos fire Storm +witches ring against dragonslayer armor. Who knows it might actually be possible.
Another thing - Black Knight Sword (the normal greatsword one) might prove useful - good damage, larger area of attack, and Perseverance to keep from getting staggered.
Technically for soul of cinder MAYBE you can win if you use a great shield with great magic shield so you can just tank all attacks while they hurt each other, just make sure to stand in a corner and don't lock on anyone, otherwise your visual will turn exposing your side
100 Stability greatshield build is likely optimal for this, in fact I just scrolled down and someone has already pointed this out. Also for certain bosses that deal fire damage to each other snap freeze could be handy because they'll reset each others frostbite metres allowing you to do constant %max health damage. Even against enemies that don't deal fire damage to each other, frostbite makes enemies take more physical damage, and that applies to the damage bosses deal to each other. Another good call is pestilent mist, which I theorise to be the best way to deal direct damage in this setting by *far.* Remember lingering dragoncrest +2 for great magic shield, you can wield a staff for spells in the other hand, and assuming that's all you're using you could probably get away with fast rolling as well.
4 things: 1. Not very original but great magic shield on a good shield would make you invulnerable to physical attack and make you lose no stamina. Grabs and elemental damage would still be a problem though. 2. Only one pestilent mist/mercury can be active at a time, spamming doesn’t help a ton. 3. Grab the HEAVIEST armor you can find, slap on iron flesh, the old wolf curved sword, and the Pontiff left eye ring. Oath of sunlight, chloranthy ring, lingering dragoncrest ring, and ring of favor optional. Activate poise and spam. No rolling or running. When you spam with that setup you can get 7000 ish health back per swing (limit breakers can explain better). I would think that would be the ideal strat. You would be unkillable, and during grab attacks (which are not usually one-shots) you’d have I-frames where the boss cold still hurt itself. Reapply iron flesh before it runs out. 4. Awesome video. I enjoyed very much!! Thank you for the content :)
I know only one Pestilent Mist can be active at a time, I was just re-applying it before it ran out. I've considered Magic Shield, but I think its duration wouldn't be long enough. The Pontiff left eye ring and Iron Flesh is a good idea, that might actually make Bosses like Pontiff (they don't hit each other) possible.
My two all time favorite bosses from DS3 were Abyss Watchers, and The Twin Princes. Those two fights pushed me to my limit and the victory was extremely sweet.
Oh wow thank you for this. I couldn’t stop laughing when you got swarmed by so many all at once. I love the part when you thought that shield would make a difference. LOL!!!
My plan was start with iron flesh then spam lightning storm with unfaltering prayer Having a source of regen on the pestilence setup would be helpful as well Cool Video idea :))
For the turtle mode defense, swap the great bow out for Arstors Spear, as it has the same HP gain on enemy defeat as Ring of the Evil Eye, it’ll help you regain health a little faster! 💪🏻
Messy, but good! I also recommend googling 'all dark souls bosses vs solaire' , in which a max leveled Solaire faces all 91 Dark Souls bosses (1,2,3) in max bonfire intensity.
As a tanky Knight build that got stuck on the Abyss Watchers for a very, VERY long time? Seeing them all slaughter each other was joyful, but then seeing them all tackle you was pain.
I'm pretty sure they can't. I'll either have to turn off map collision, or stack them on top of each other. If nothing works, I'll have to put them in a different arena.
That's a good spell for eldin ring. Everyone group together and tell From we want a spell called 'Frenzy" : All creatures in facility will lose their minds for 40 seconds and forget who is their friend"
We have something like this in Ds3 called rapport but it’s single target. I think a spell like rapport but targeting everything might be a bit too good.
The Abyss watchers fight is how the fight would actually go, all of them just look over from their own fights and then gank you. Then continue on with the self blood shed 😂
Ashen One: (Enters the first boss room and sees 99 Gundyrs) Also Ashen One: Should i call the Choosen Undead, the Dragonborn, DoomGuy, the Tarnished, the Bearer of the Curse and maybe uncle Sam?

yessssss
my favorite part about the abyss watchers one is that it's fully canon, you just arrived too late to see it yourself in the regular game
How many were there actually?
@@deeznutzboii 5,000ish because they are called the undead legion and it's about right when compared to Roman legions
Same thing with ancient wyvern, actually… what with the age of dragons and all that
I loved how on abyss watchers it went from for example (all peaceful) to full on war lmao
So maybe that's how the abyss watchers fought each other
Player: *kills boss* "I did it, I won!"
Boss: "You fool, I have 98 alternative accounts!"
98 ng+
Eventually someone will beat all of them on a dance mat while playing a guitar.

What if you use the moaning shield two handed with the greater shield spell with stamina rings to survive the attacks?

-There are no corners in his arena
