Sometimes you just need to kill a woman centipede Nice breakdown in the description btw 👍👍

Beautiful

Is “Blind playthrough” supposed to mean this was your first ever time fighting him? Cause you both went through a fog gate and dodged certain attacks that would be literally impossible without knowing how they work. Impressive fight regardless, but the title is very misleading at best and a flat out lie at worst.

blind yet you know every move Commander Gaius makes, tell me you lie without telling me you lie.

Ur weapon switching.. bloodhound step for unrollable spin, rapier for status on center mass and wave of gold for ads, and to top it off a bow for levitation specials.... Brilliant use of weapons

Your better than me fought homie for like 2hrs got him at most half way but couldn't beat him as astrologer gave up

You have mastered sekiro no doubt 💯

She°s much harder without the fullz upgraded flasks. And when she spawns ontop of you while spinning. Or when her projectiles hit you while you're dodging/blocking.

This boss was hell to beat for me due to framerates dropping (i play elden ring on the PS4). What're your thoughts on the bosses in the dlc as a whole l?

Second phase music always fuckin hjts

Now this is a True Drake Warrior

So is this boss meant to be fought with the dragon-hunter great katana ? Like Yhorn with the storm ruler or Rykard with the serpent-hunter ? I tried this boss with regular melee weapons and as much as I like the spectacle he really doesn't give enough openings if you go after his head and if you go under him he spams his fire breath attack. So I used that weapon with its skill and it was so much more fun and easy. When you float in the air you sometimes evade his aoe and it deals so much damage, it's like he's meant to be fought that way

Curse you, Bayle! I hereby vow! You will rue this day! Behold, a true Drake Warrior! And I, Igon! Your fear made flesh! Solid of scale you might be, foul dragon … But I will riddle with holes your rotten hide! With a hail of harpoons! With every last drop of my being!

Nice one! Real nice. And you did in locked off. Respect for that. Also, I feel ya on all the criticisms; There's a lot of BS happening in this fight which leads to unfair deaths. It feels like you're fighting the boss, the camera and the whole arena at the same time

Congrats! I spend 6 hours on this fk boss cuz i killed Igon, then i discovered that that guy is more important than i thought tho 💀.

I one tried bayle with double collossal hammers, but one of my favorites cinematically, such a cool fight

I want to be just as good. I got my butt kicked but did it in the end, your gameplay was way more solid than mine, A TRUE DRAKE WARRIOR

There was no hesitation! 👏 Yes, a defensive change of pace during 3rd phase. While I won with pure luck, but walking towards there 🙂!

yeah the comments are weird. fucking love this boss. her moveset is awesome. beautiful fight, great dodges and parries, OP. thanks for sharing.

Damm all the comments saying shes a bad boss, too hard for you huh and you no hit her, ez bro well done

Really impressive, even if I don’t like the boss very much.

If I was to do one hit>run away, I'd die from boredom. If this is what you have to do to not get hit, then it's officially the worst, most obnoxious boss of this DLC. While I'm patient, I'm not patient enough for stuff like this, hence big props for that. GJ

Absolutely marvellous work! 🙏

Going full on parry for this fight was much quicker, but nice! If anything it's probably harder to dodge this chick than parry.

Gotta say huge GGs for getting this kill and being able to last over 7 minutes in here, really am not a fan of this boss but I'm hoping to find some stuff of use in here.

I wish there was a way to play it like sekiro instead of dark souls when you have low AP. Is it viable to fill his posture after you've finished half his vitality? And if so, is it significantly slower than your strategy?

Sprinting in circles around him clockwise also works as long as the first attack misses.

can't see properly

Now do it without runics

What a fuckin nerd dude! Fuck! This is so dope! Good Job! My hat off to you sir. I WILL beat this mfr!!!

Damn that’s how you dodge it? In the opposite direction of the hammer. Thanks, he keeps killing me with the last hit of that sword spin.

not even hard but ok

Clean fucking fight. man. Well done. I aspire to this level of moveset memorization

Hell of a video red

Wow I was trying for days and after I watched the vid I did it first try GG

This game garbage

How the hell i supposed to know this dodge thing? It's so stupid tbh.

absolutely balletic

Radagon was cool at first, but once you get the hang of him, he becomes Genichiro - an annoying intro fight to the last boss. To prevent him from spamming his lazers and stuff, I stay close. He has several moves that can be parried, and dodged through. When he's vulnerable, I stick to one attack and wait for his response. As for the Elden Beast, he's just like the Sekiro dragon boss - dodge his projectiles, get close, and do big damage. When he does that bullet hell move, I have no idea what to do but to make as much distance as I can from the beast - this is to avoid it from doing another BS move while I'm too busy dodging a zillion other projectiles. This is also the first time I encountered multiple rings appearing on the ground (5:23), didn't know that skill had a power-up. I tried using Maliketh's sword on him, since lore-wise they wanted to keep Destined Death away. It does BIG BOI damage in one use, even more than Queen's Black Flame!

In phase 1, I feel more comfortable on medium weight, the dodge distance is just right for the punish. I aim to dodge to his right side - he seems to have a limited response when getting hit from that side, which can turn into an infinite loop. Not getting hit too much in this fight rewards me with a skip of his sub-phases. In phase 2 he ditches his weapons and adds grabs into his arsenal. Since he's using bare hands, intuition told me to mind my distance during his grab, but dodging backwards is usually bad as it keeps you in the line of fire so to speak. Dodging forward is good, but you still need to time it to some degree. He has two jumping slam attacks that leave him open (2:41, 3:07), but he has one that leads to a huge AoE (2:05). This attack seems impossible to dodge on mid weight, so I ditch my 2nd weapon right before the end of phase 1. Not a fan of all the delayed attacks in this game, and Godfrey has loads of them. It's just artificial difficulty, the problem is it becomes less about reaction and intuition and more about trial and error. Unless you've seen the attack and it's delayed delivery, you can only just absorb the hit and hope you took an accurate mental note of the delay.

Nothing special here, just the all-knowing who doesn't know how to fight at close range, doesn't know how to keep his distance, and with all the skills he's picked up, doesn't know the Waterfowl Dance lol

ER does have its copy pasta bosses, but it does have badasses like Malenia and Maliketh. FUN fight! In terms of no-hit-ability, I find that his first phase is more difficult to pull off while staying aggressive. There seems to be very few windows where he won't counter with a quick double-slash. My current method is to dodge to his left and just attack. He's very vulnerable when he drags his dagger while approaching (0:31), as well as when he slams it down after a combo (0:39). Another opening is when he throws rocks from the ground upward (0:16) - if the area around him is safe, it's probably good for a few hits, he just tends to leap away and counter. Rewatching the vid made me realize most of my hits were due to greed - when I stuck to one attack at a time, I was able to avoid his counter. Awesome transition! Although it seemed to be too calm. If stabbing his hand blew his clothes off to reveal the armor, it would've been better IMO. His second phase has very generous windows. For some reason he likes to drag his sword on the ground and delaying the slam as if it's too heavy, then you see him flinging it mid-air like it's nothing (3:07). His mid-air projectile attacks have some tricky delays, especially on the 2nd and 3rd blades, where he seems to do a mini jump before launching the blade. After the third blade, he'll lunge forward for a double-spin attack, which can easily be dodged back or to the side (once is enough I think.) Another tricky move is the blade sphere one, which he starts with a spin. If you see that blade burning as he's about to do the attack, just dodge away (3:25). The Dragon Halberd skill is so much fun, I didn't mind eating a few attacks lol P.S. After the fight I googled if people thought he was just as cool as I thought he was. DAMN. I didn't know I was walking into SALT mines.

Wow, solid work!

Good job. GG. I have never used frostbite, but I know about this method. Learning to dodge the water dance is really possible (as you write), but stability is out of the question. For the water dance, the Bloodhound's Step is perfect.

It sucks that I just got lucky in phase 2 - that bleed proc (3:47) saved me from her dash attack, and she didn't do her blade dance. I was waiting for the move, but still. I'll go back to her for better footage, I want to explore and finish the game first. In both phases, she has an indicator of how "aggressive" she is. When she's walking forward slowly, it's 99% safe to walk and attack as soon as I'm in range. If I attack late, she will land her attack first, if I attack too soon, I whiff. Next, when she's tiptoe-ing forward, it becomes a gamble. In that lucky bleed proc I mentioned above, I decided to gamble and go for an attack, which she responds to by doing that dash attack. If the bleed didn't proc, she'd tank my swing and hit me. Lastly, when she's running or dashing forward, she's likely to do hyper-armor moves that will tank my attacks. She has a high chance to backstep or dodge to the sides for a counterattack after getting hit twice. In phase 2, one hit can trigger may be all it takes. After hitting her, If she dashes to my left side, I need to re-orient my character towards her before attempting a parry - not doing so will fail the parry. In phase 2, she can also jump to either do the downward slam, or start her dance. I needed to calm down and not panic when she jumps - there's a short window of time before I can decide to throw the pot or not. Her new fun move in phase 2 is awesome (4:17). She has a fake swing in the middle that you have to ignore. Dodging it will set me up for a hit. The third slash is slightly delayed, so I delay my dodge accordingly. The fourth slash is the fake, it's the next slash from the right that needs to be dodged. Freezing pots aren't 100% safe. From point-blank, the pot misses her like a bad joke, and in phase 2, if the pot hits just as she's moving her sword down, she doesn't get frostbite. Now that this is done, I watched some videos and apparently there's a way to dodge the dance from up close, by tricking her tracking, which I admit I wouldn't have figured out on my own. Some say it's parryable, apparently I didn't try that hard enough. All in all, great fight! The music is up there with Lady Maria's.

I just watched about three or four dozen videos of people fighting this guy, and you were _by far_ the best at racking up vitality damage. So many thrust attacks. Love to see it. :)

its just fo frusterating to fight two phases again ... common from soft after 5 or 6 wins they should take geni out ...

Nice
