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.
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
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
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
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.
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
@@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.
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 💀
@@kaiserdetectivegolden2735 The horned warriors are hornsent. Marika didnt support the experiments. In fact, many beleive she was the only succesfull saint produced, which is where Radagon comes from. She was a victim of them regardless, her whole village was wiped out by them. 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. They choped people up and shoved them into jars, and turned tham into tortured, melded together beings. (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
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
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'd love to see some of these fights with the early game bosses - like Morgott and Rennala - scaled up as if they had Scadutree Fragment benefits. Give them a bit more of a chance.
Is he scadutree blessing adjusted? In order for it to be a fair fight, it should take around double damage, and deal half the damage, for it to be equivalent in power in respecto to the player
I’m actually impressed that these guys aren’t even mini bosses.. they hit like a truck.
this one in particular is a miniboss that doesn't respawn upon death

@@kaiserdetectivegolden2735 Well, I was talking in general, not just about this guy.
too little health to be a boss, but they can 1 or 2 shot high level builds, hit harder than most main bosses

Damn that fight against the eldenbeast is simply 1hp and a dream.
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.

Bro how tf he is not the elden lord yet,maybe he was rizzed by miquella too
Why the heck am I Elden Lord again? This guy deserves it more than I do...
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
It's really cool to see all the bosses full body. It looks so different when tiny us are hacking and slashing right under their bellies or legs.
This video just made me realize these horned warriors are essentially the crucible knights of the dlc
yes
5:54 Pretty sure Full-grown Fallingstar Beast should have won by pushing the Strongest Horned Warrior off a cliff. Maybe not fair, but entertaining.
thanks
And i love that maliketh kill that with such beautiful power
Hoarah Loux: You call that a kick? THIS is a kick
So he's like Gundyr and Dragonslayer Armour, with Dancing Lion moves
My favorite part is after Morgott just the SLIDE TO THE LEFT
At the end of Enir Illim I had enough of these dudes, I lured that last one to the nearby elevator and did what needed to be done 😂
This was awesome. Godfrey clutched it in the end 😁
thanks
I personally think the frost one is the strongest
this makes feel better for how much i struggled with these
Best fight Commander Niall!!
The hornsent and horned warriors and dancing lion are by far my favorite part of the dlc
their moveset are so cool.
Daddy Placi always coming through 🙂
How did the Horned Warrior proc bleed on Rykard? To my knowledge he doesn’t do bleed unless his omenkiller axe moves do
3:51 this should have been the thumbnail
Seeing a horned folk destroy the very incarnation of the Golden Order by himself feels poetic.
22:00 EPIC !!!
How tf did messmers crusade do anything with these guys around?
