What happens when you fuse a knight of the cathedral + Champion Gundyr and give that fusion magic of wind, ice, and lightning = The warrior who makes you question your existence.
Dude these guys are prolly the craziest normal mob ever. Moveset is deep as hell a challenging but doable. Design is sick and then you give em the damn divine lion elemental powers? Like cmon these guys r tuff. They kick my ass basically every time I fight them but def cool as shit
Same haha he did all that cool initial thing, then proceeded to throw a kick at the air in front of him despite I was a mile away and fell down looney toons style
Jesus christ how much poise damage does godfrey ACTUALLY do?? I could have sworn the horned warriors were straight up un-staggerable, and then comes the goat and does it like 10 times, each time in about 3 hits Mans out here proving that pure str is the way
Honestly, it's just game scaling. Any of the normal bosses or mobs with this level of scaling from the end of the DLC at Enir-Ilim would do pretty well against these guys. The zone scaling isn't the same thing as Scadutree frags. It's what makes the knights at the Haligtree three times stronger than the knights in Limgrave even though they'd be pretty similar from a lore perspective. Lorewise, a hornsent wouldn't stand a chance against Radagon/Marika who is literally a god that we can only beat by wielding destined death. I mean these guys are doing like 2 k damage a hit almost and have more HP than most of the main game's bosses. It's not that impressive when they're this overtuned against base game stuff. Only the bosses with special abilities stand a chance like Malenia's healing/scarlet rot, Mohg's Nihil, Maliketh's destined death, and fire giant's rolling bullshit.
Bro i was convinced he was a miniboss died more times to him than some bosses. Finally won and was so shook when he respawned i had to quit for the day 💀
@@janogabor7697 dude these guys are no "warm up" they are literally million times harder than every boss in the dlc and besides you only fight them at the final area what bosses are you preparing for after them ?
@@kaiserdetectivegolden2735 i meant the horned warriors in general, but these were good warm up for Radahn. Also I disagree that they harder than bosses.
I like that the canonically strongest bosses win against him (besides radahn but that is the starscourge variant and Morgott because he didn’t fight him). I was cheering for Mohg the entire team knowing he was about to shred him to pieces
All rationale and thinking are thrown out and I start panic rolling whenever I face these guys and they start pulling out their comically large crucible sword move
@@kaiserdetectivegolden2735 The horned warriors are hornsent. Marika didnt support the experiments.

Its probabaly the resents the omen and their horns, as it reminds her of their atrocoties. The jars are guarded by Mesmer because they are in a clinic that is trying to reverse what was done to them.

(The jars in the lands between, like alexander, are made from corpses, not people who are alive) Marika is fucked up, but no more than (and very likley because of) the horn-sent.
The gameplay and lore are different. The dlc enemies are hard because it's a game design choice to give player the feeling of progress(even though it's very, very poorly done)
I think they mean the strongest unnamed ancient dragon, not even lore wise but whichever one in the games files literally had the best stats. Admittedly kinda confusing idk why they didn’t go with a named dragon
I killed the first one after many attempts. The absolute despair and horror I felt when I saw these mfs respawn. Started to sneak or dart as fast as possible. So fucking strong.
I lost 1 million souls to the first Horned Warrior you see. He caught me off guard with him being so OP. Before I could grab my souls he puts me in a combo when I tried to juke him lol 😂
I’m actually impressed that these guys aren’t even mini bosses.. they hit like a truck.

That’s also after Radagon did a lot of damage while being on 1hp too, sick

Man, Godfrey's poise damage is incredible.
Normally these Lion guys are nigh unstaggerable, but our gigachad does it with 2-3 hits.
True Elden Lord.
It's usually why he does so well in Boss vs Boss stuff. The guy just staggers everything into oblivion.
The Tarnished is still stronger, though.
All his poise breaking reminds me of when DS3 bosses get modded in to fight ER bosses, Nameless King loves to break bosses in 3 hits as well haha.
all the bosses: uses cool magic and power
godfrey: axe go whoosh
There's a reason he became the First Elden Lord and got to do sexy time with Marika.
Also what happened at 13:35? I've never seen the horned warriors slowly collapse like that.

There’s a reason not many bosses deal blood loss, shits op
No wonder these guys are still alive after Messmer’s crusade! They’re MONSTERS!!!

Placidusax never disappoints.
"strongest ancient dragon" are you sure you don't mean a certain other sax, or maybe their name is lansseax in disguise
This ancient dragon is from farum azula at the very beginning
I think they mean the strongest unnamed ancient dragon, not even lore wise but whichever one in the games files literally had the best stats. Admittedly kinda confusing idk why they didn’t go with a named dragon
Cuz he prob melted them with his first move. He could have simply scaled a named dragon to the strongest ones stats I guess.
this makes feel better for how much i struggled with these
Interesting how many bosses are the exact same height. Probably just reused skeletons, but still interesting.
From is insane and creates unique skeletons for almost everyone
6:50 That kick felt personal
18:13 when Mom says "Go ask your Father."
The hornsent and horned warriors and dancing lion are by far my favorite part of the dlc
their moveset are so cool.
Getting the kick in the nads in before dying is so petty 13:48
All in for maliketh, im bidding on him my boi has definitely got this
Glad i was right
So he's like Gundyr and Dragonslayer Armour, with Dancing Lion moves
Seeing a horned folk destroy the very incarnation of the Golden Order by himself feels poetic.
I just spammed like 8 glintstones to kill them without even seeing their moveset, didn't realize they were literally essentially mini godricks😂
Not mini. Condensed
It's crazy that maliketh never disappoint in these kind of videos

Your souls? Uh, not today, Satan!
It's not just crazy that these hornset warriors can be staggered but to be knocked back and in the air by some bosses is just insane! 😮
I personally think the frost one is the strongest
Morgott just learned what a real crucible blessing can do
At 17:20 that kick was diabolical
Deserved!
These things are a pain one on one, and Fromsoft was like “haha, let’s put lots of magic spam enemies after them”.
Least overpowered elden ring enemy
That armor is so sick, perfect fit for a faith build
Divine beast warrior vs All Knight (same scalling) pls
Margit got MELTED!! And Jeeze that Elden beats fight 😮
So hes about on par with Godfrey.....Dude is lowkey an elden lord
The fact that fromsoft has to buff non boss enemies so much for their dlc makes the lore implications interesting.
17:20 that kick to malenia mid air was so cathartic haha
"She's getting beat!" "No, she's getting mad"
Jesus, nothing can stop this guy... maybe he's the real main character.
Daddy Placi always coming through 🙂
It feels good to know that these guys are trouble for a lot of players; I felt like I was awful for repeatedly dying to the ice one...
Can you imagine the hell it would be if these guys actually took critical hits after guard breaks?
