Check out bigimpact.io for 20% off all your website and SEO needs! Edit: For those wondering why I didn’t showcase Forsa’s 1st place run: I asked him before I started working on this if he’d be okay with me not including him in the video given that I’ve already covered him in 2 previous ones and he said it was fine! We wanted to give others the chance to share the spotlight too. I also felt like Spicee and Michu’s runs made for better storytelling because they were so close. If you’re interested in seeing Forsa’s run, you can find it in the description of this video. Definitely check it out, the guy is a legend!

@cristianbarni3147 Рік тому
Even coming from 1000+ hours played in souls game, it took me a lot of attempts to beat Margit. He's designed to teach you the "always roll through" mechanic, while at the same time punishing you sometimes with quick dagger swipes, that you have no way to avoid. It really subverts the "keep rolling and all will be fine" theme.
@cncaliguy09 Рік тому
I warmed up with first time playthru with Bloodbourne. Beat Kos in day of attempts and thought I was gud. Well I after Margit smoked me, Didnt even know how to use ash of war or upgrade my weapon. Tries that and fails, so I went exploring. Fromsoft starts are always brutal.
@yurilopes420 Рік тому
he teaches everything, really. how dynamic elden ring combat is, with you a lot of times being able to sneak r1s between hits in the same combo, delayed attacks, even undodgeable attacks that you just have to either light roll, or run away from also if I'm not mistaken he has some strafeable attacks, and there's another mechanic. I love Margit
@valkeitos 3 місяці тому
For me, it's taken until Radahn to realise that dodge timings are flexible by your inputs. By that i mean, while bosses have combos that attack twice in quick succession, you can dodge earlier to avoid both blows. Other combos take longer or have longer follow throughs so you dodge later. It makes dodging more intuitive and meaningful every time you press the button.

I'd be kinda upset with waterfowl if you needed to fight malenia, but, she's just there as a challenge for people that want that kind of difficulty, and since these games are 15 years old by now a fair bit of bullshittery is required to give the vets their difficulty edit: it's also a move you can perfectly dodge, but only if you know how to, probably from looking up how to do it online.

Unpopular opinion, but my favorite boss has to be Malenia. At first, I really hated her (not just because of waterfowl, her lifesteal was really annoying, especially paired with her flurry attack), but then I started to learn her moves, find openings. For the first time I beat her with a summon, and it was surprisingly easy that way, but something was missing. A few playthroughs later I went back to her, to finish her solo. It took multiple hours and many deaths, but in the end I beat her, and it feels like the biggest reward in the game. I'm not going to sit here pretending that she is a perfect boss, in fact she is not very fair at all, but for the journey it took for me to best her definitely made Malenia my favorite boss.

@sandwichdealer1711 Рік тому
@Poe Soul I'm a souls vet who started at 13 with demon's souls and I agree fully, the delayed attacks were a huge problem for me and threw me off so much, it didn't help I beat the game without summoning. ER kicked my ass more than any game in the series and it was amazing. However I still really dislike Malenia, not because she has delayed or unfair attacks but because she is poorly designed. I've seen a lot of people compare her to Sekiro's boss and for good reason, but in ER she just doesn't work, add on to that her bullshit healing mechanic, insane damage output and two healthbars and she just feels like the devs put her in there as a fuck you. Unlike previous souls game's bosses like Gael, Friede, Artorias and especially Isshin she does not reward skill but instead cheese, broken builds and exploits. Hearing people compare her to Isshin is stupid. One is a incredibly well-designed duel with an foe far stronger than you, managing to make the fight very hard but never feel unfair, every time you die to Isshin it's your own fault. The other is a broken, unfair slog with a foe who could have been fun to fight had the devs balanced her more or put more thought into the fight, dying to Malenia is mainly due to dumb bullshit
@imafraidjumitebeeinnagang155 Рік тому
@@sandwichdealer1711 Really? Dying to Malenia is due to dumb shit? Look, I'm not going to talk shit because frankly, I've felt that against a good quarter of from soft bosses at one point or another. But eventually, you realize that the dumb shit you're dying to is your fault, not the game's. She has generous openings, lacks aggression in phase one, and has only one attack that is difficult to consistently dodge. And even that attack, waterfowl of course, is only difficult to dodge if you get too close to it. Waterflow is fundamentally a souped-up punishment for improper spacing. But if you know what you're doing you still can stay very close and use a different method and completely dodge it the majority of the time. And then if you're even a little distant, it's not particularly notable if you know what you're doing. She's tough. She demands a strong understanding of her moveset and a fair amount of patience. But when you really get her fight down she is incredibly fun. Slightly below Gael to me for best boss they've ever designed but it's a masterpiece.
@Akakiryuushin Рік тому
@Poe Soul its not just an overabundance of delayed attacks, every single enemies attack timing requires delayed rolls and if you get hit once with a bad roll timing you will most likely roll immediately after the stun animation getting hit again. and if you tried dodging at the right time(.2 seconds after the animation not enough to realize you did or did not roll) you will dodge again after the stun animation. every enemy roll catches and the input queueing makes it more likely to get roll caught, deaths are no longer my fault. and the big appeal to the souls fans is its challenging but fair gameplay. this game is no longer fair

Radagon was easily my favorite boss. The lore buildup, the music, the color palette, the parries, it was all fantastic.

That was a really exciting video, and I love the idea of commentated speed runs. I was quite confused at the end though to see that the two runs we saw were #2 and #3. I get that they were super close so it made sense to compare them, but it was a bit odd not to see any footage at all from the winner. I see the pinned comment about this, so just giving my feedback that personally I would have preferred to see all three videos included, as until the end I thought I was watching #1 and #2, not #2 and #3. But an awesome idea and a very well done video. Congrats to the runners!

Radahn is my favorite fight. The arena, phase transition, design, atmosphere and lore is just🤩
@phos927 Рік тому
My personal favourite fight is Malenia. Even with her insane difficulty, learning her never felt like it was a chore, it was fun, and the rush I got from beating her was unparalleled. Also helps that she reminds me of my favourite FS game, Sekiro.
@cyph91 Місяць тому
This is an incredible video. It makes me want to come back to ER. I am no speed runner but I do enjoy the various parts of the game and these guys made this speedrun looks awesome.
@yahia5476 Рік тому
My favourite boss is definitely Margit, loved it so much, from the atmosphere to the OST to his voicelines and even the boss arena
@gorbungle7810 Рік тому
My favorite fight has to be Radagon and The Elden Beast, I remember getting there totally sleep deprived on like a 17 hour binge of the game and when Radagons theme hit I was just entranced with the fight from beginning to end, Whenever Radagon went down and The Elden Beast appeared the whole fight took a shift from being this epic battle against a godlike warrior to a completely transient being backed by that incredible track. I still remember the awe I felt whenever the Elden Beast flew up and The Elden Ring appeared in the sky, truly an incredible fight.

@arhamsaa Рік тому
Spicee dominating races as always. I remember the pain runners had to go through during the sisters gank every single run and and it didn't help that that part was almost at the very end. GGs to all the runners who sacrificed their sanity for such great content. Maliketh phase 2 is my favourite boss, it's just so fun to fight him in phase 2.
@heyitsagoblin Рік тому
My favorite boss in Elden Ring is Astel! I was so happy seeing little touches of Bloodborne make their way into Elden Ring and I think Astel really encompasses the Lovecraftian side of the game. Plus his design is just super cool and he's so far into the game that he's really easy to miss.
@CJ-up7pn 3 місяці тому
I know this is a year old but SAME HERE. I LOVED ASTEL. He was the boss after margit that made me feel like i was playing the game again for the first time

@mothethemothe4948 Рік тому
Enjoyed the video! My favorite boss would probably be Morgott, especially when you're underleveled. The buildup to the fight and the fight itself was perfect to me and such a great test of your skills and growth as a player
@amalrichs Рік тому
Oddly enough, for me Morgott the Omen King has to be my favorite boss. From the multiple encounters you have with him that builds up a rivalry, to the way as a lord perspective you see that this is a man who wants the best for his people and to rise up to the challenge that was taking the place of his parents. Morgott to me just has a fantastic boss fight, but the lore behind it is what makes it the best.

While it wasn't a particularly challenging boss, I really liked the Regal Ancestor Spirit fight. The music and visuals were really cool, and it was one of those bosses that you almost feel bad for defeating.
@yaboiricku919 Рік тому
My favorite boss has to be Morgott. Besides being a really fun fight gameplay wise the reveal that he wasn't just a one off fight at the beginning of the game reaaally caught me off guard (in a good way) the fight just FEELS important and epic. Plus I really love how the line "Emboldened by the flame of ambition" is reused. In the first fight it sounds like he's just going through the motions no real passion, but in the second fight you can just *feel* the anger and hatred in his voice and god its so good
@Scenery-1976 Місяць тому
Oddly compelling, loved the video, planned on watching just the first 10mins and watched the whole thing in one sitting
@brandonchristen2472 Рік тому
My favorite boss I've encountered so far was the Godskin in the large tower (the skinny one). You have to climb all the way and all the way back down, I was under leveled and didn't know what to expect. Encountering him for the first time was so creepy and memorable.
@marcosjose5804 Рік тому
My favorite boss is Mohg, both versions. I love how the first one feels like an dance, all the attacks are clearly telegraphed but not incredibly easy to dodge. The second one is more epic, the soundtrack is amazing and the phase transition is incredible. The fight feels chaotic, and I really dig it. Also, I love the lore behind him

Malenia is definitely my favorite boss, though that is only because i’ve practiced her alot some time ago and it’s fun to win without taking too much damage
@stygian5309 Рік тому
I've practiced her enough times to beat her first phase with no damage but second phase I don't know what the fuck is going on. 😂

Loretta (the real one) is definitely my favorite boss. She's not really hard, but she gave me a lot of trouble during my first playthrough. I love the way she use a mix of melee and ranged attack, and especially her ash of war.

Morgott is easily my favourite boss, the voice acting the gameplay is just amazing. Not to mention his lore is also amazing.
@michealleroux9414 Рік тому
Radahn has to be my favourite. The cinematic feel of the boss with the player fighting along side all these other warriors, needing a army to take down this behemoth. His lore is pretty cool and makes him a neat character who fell from grace. The fight itself is great, allowing the player to fight mounted. And of course his design is amazing, a new iconic souls character.
@yunmarcola693 Рік тому

@BACHKA Рік тому
My favorite boss was the Regal Ancestral Spirit. The stage design made it look out this world, with the boss fight itself being fair and memorable. Not as popular as Radahn, Godfrey, or Malenia, but it’s always been my personal favorite.
@daanzzznl6249 Рік тому
Morgott is my favorite by far his OST, his lore and the challenge and if you’re not using overleveled stuff is on of the most fun Fromsoft Bosses.
@codydees9681 Рік тому
If I had to pick one boss as my favorite, I think it woul have to be Astel. It's honestly his design that makes him my favorite. Astrology was something I was facinated by as a kid, and so fighting a boss that looks like the cosmos came alive was so cool.
@MonkeysTucasTV Рік тому
Yeah from a design perspective he’s one of the coolest. Reminds me so much of my first souls game, bloodbourne

My favorite bossfight has to be Rykard. It’s the first gimmick boss that’s actually really good and challenging. He’s just so refreshing after all those soulsbornes. The fight literally takes place in hell and no other soulsborne boss ever managed to transfer that scary atmosphere to me.
@SonaVal Рік тому
It's also the nostalgia to Yhorm the giant from dark souls 3 that makes him such a cool boss and how he is so large with the surroundings it just looks so awesome and is definitely the funnest boss
@Ninjorsta Рік тому
My favorite boss would be Maliketh the black blade when I saw him in the trailer I wanted to find him and Malenia. His lore and unique lines u can get from his quest line adds more to his character. Having an endurance battle between Marika's shadow in a shattered city for the rune of death is an unforgettable experience.
@j3nki541 Рік тому
I think it might be Malekith. I've done the deathroot quest before, so having that fight again is kinda cool, but then the transition into the second phase is just so... menacing and the sound of the medallion being shattered is kinda satisfying. Haven't beaten him yet, but I feel the way he slowly pulls the big sword out of his hand is gonna stay with me for a while. Grappler Loux was also pretty cool with how he throws you around the arena its super hype, but Malekith seems even more memorable.

On the playthrough i beat the game in i beat him first try but i did have practice from beating him in a prior playthrough which took me 5-6 tries
