That would make more sense for Radhan, considering how many videos he has of him compared to the other bosses

[@vongolamistowl]

I could watch ongbal fight elden ring bosses for hours on end. He’s one of the few players showing how many tools you can utilise for boss fights and make the most of the game’s combat.

[@Navhkrin]

Tbh most of those tools are for show and deal less damage than just spamming weapon attack

[@vongolamistowl]

@@Navhkrin unless u care about optimising damage, most tools can be pretty viable

[@m4ndoz]

Even Miyazaki is probably surprised

[@visceral1]

Much more impressive than buffing for 2 minutes and killing the boss in 3 hits, and more entertaining than an RL 1 kill.

[@cheeks_of_the_boreal_valley]

​@@visceral1funny thing is, often times buffing for 2 min to kill the boss in 3 hits is also done at rl1 lol

[@dhtprnl]

2:37 crazy back jump

[@Quince477]

I'll always love how he finds unconventional ways to dodge certain attacks

[@tarik365]

@@Quince477 Always unconventional, but always somehow more efficient and consistent than normal dodges when I try to replicate them lol, master of his craft

[@FlakeyCakes]

​@@tarik365Jump works very well for dodging other stuff too! it gives longer s than a roll but only on the bottom half of your body. Experimenting with jumps is super fun and satisfying.

[@lukassmida4885]

@@FlakeyCakes It doesn't give any s, it just moves your characters model upper, so they don't get hit by attacks that has ground hitbox.

[@businessgamerprb5398]

Promised consort ongbal

[@keshan-spec]

he's on a bullying streak

[@ForsakenIdol]

Nice to see what is effectively a "parry-assisted" playstyle, where you mix parries in with other attacks.

[@ynghllw]

I really like that about his videos in general that he can use whatever to overcome victorious

[@mcptz1438]

I had to switch to a parry assisted style for the final boss of the DLC... And now I'm just kinda running around with it, parry all sorts of enemies - swapping an incant seal for a shield on left hand in real time, during combat, as I feel.

[@samuel.jpg.1080p]

​@@mcptz1438I find that parry works incredibly well in dlc. Bosses have crazy combo that seemingly never ends but with parry, you can stop that combo and there's more of a dance between you and the boss rather than keep rolling until it's safe to punish

@@samuel.jpg.1080p man, that is actually very true and I just realized that. Real shame I cant parrry for shit goddamnit... I suck at parrying even in sekiro where its much easier :D

[@sclafantasy]

You say that as if he’s not fighting the hardest boss to parry in the game that is substantially easier to dodge 😂

[@Shura31412]

Ongbal jumps the attacks that people can't even roll

[@janogabor7697]

Which one? Can't remember Messmer having any really tricky moves.

[@LAK_770]

​@@janogabor7697 I mean, if we're talking about attacks that some unspecified people can't roll, it's all of them. People are really bad and have no inclination to just admit this and try to get better, that's why there were review bombs

[@migraine9402]

The delayed spear stab jump is nuts

[@cheeks_of_the_boreal_valley]

​@@LAK_770yep, sad to see souls 'veterans' unable to adapt and get the 'git gud' thrown at them by newer players lol

fun thing is that jumping some attacks is actually much easier (more lenient on s and air time) than dodging them... if you are good enough to know which one and remember to do so, not like me :D I found out when I played with smithscript cirque. Best tactic with that weapon is to jumpR2 back or to side while pummeling boss with those throws... And I got incredibly surprised that bosses suddenly miss half of their moves :D Putrescent knight for example has almost all of his attacks easily jumpable.

[@mcjibbo6100]

Ongbal has the most beautiful playstyle. His use of tools and knowledge about how he can use certain moves as a dodge and attack together. He's a master.

[@KjAndre]

Ongbal makes ER look so poetic 🥲Using everything in his Arsenal.

[@jesperhvid9667]

Everyone: you can't parry Mesmer Ongbal:

[@Leo-ym5xn]

Not just that, but also choosing the most inferior parrying tool for extra challenge!

[@senjai77308]

​@@Leo-ym5xnit's not the most inferior tho. This dagger has more frames than other daggers with parry aow, because it's specifically made for parry

[@PappyGreen__]

@@senjai77308🤓

[@Edd211]

I'm bad and I can parry him

[@undertaker2766]

Yeah it's probably the second best option, the difference with buckler is of a couple frames that's all​@@Leo-ym5xn

[@PierceArner]

Frost & Ghostflame are a really cool theme for countering Messemer, and as always, plenty of style makes the flawless presentation even better!

yeah, meanwhile I killed this boss by spamming sword dance on every opening lmao... it worked, but it really wasnt that cinematic :D

[@popijam2]

He's not the only one who can do no damage boss fight but he's really the best at showing how fancy the fight can be. Kudos to you, Ongbal.

[@dantealighieri6613]

As always, the optimisation is most impressive, a pity we didn't get to see the Thrusting shield utilised offensively (yet). 0:32 sexy dodges. 1:35 can't comprehend what happened there. 2:46 parrying the super combo, no hesitation!

[@_ONGBAL]

I usually use Thrusting shield with Deflection Tear. Maybe I'll post about that later :)

[@priyanshumaurya007]

Thrusting Shield are so good but it's kinda underated probably cuz ppl think it's just a shield lol

[@panic_diver]

Ongbal, i really enjoy you showing different thematic builds to take down bosses in your recent videos. I have a suggestion for you though, given your immense knowledge of the game I would like to see you enter a phase two as well where you use your most powerful attacks as the boss enters its 2nd phase. It should feel like a boss vs boss fight, and that would really show off all the crazy stuff you can do in the game.

[@astrokat945]

You’re so skilled man 👍respect to you 👏

[@maeror1022]

Ok but the way you rolled with him to both dodge the attack and finish the animation right in front of him so you could immediately punish. That was just... *chef's kiss*

[@zSkeezy]

The main gauche and casting thrusting sword (I forget the name) has provided me with the most fun I’ve ever had with the game. I never finished an actual int playhtrough cause I found it boring to my usual play style. I’ve finished Elden ring maybe ten times and eight of them were pure strength, and two were str/fth (I love great swords and straight swords). When I found those two weapons I thought maybe it would be fun so I respecced and holy crap you gotta try that combo if you haven’t already. I love melee combat so I only use defensive and melee spells + Zamor ice storm for some aoe to accommodate my preferred play style. It is an absolute blast if you force yourself to rely on the parry as much as possible. I cannot recommend doing an ng+ run with that set up enough and I was thrilled to see my build here and it being used so masterfully

[@captaincs8440]

hell yeah i'll try this thx. what spells you use with this build?

[@zSkeezy]

@@captaincs8440 chilling most and gavel of haima work great after after a riposte or before a series of power stance attacks, and Miriam’s vanishing works great after a backstop attack. Carian piercer is great after feints and also Miriam’s vanishing. I’ve also been using cannon of haima to soften up crowds, it comboes great with zamor ice storm in pve. Carian slicer is even great for when you have to use impaling thrust on shielded enemies. For bosses, stick to parrying as much as possible and chilling most on the riposte, maybe mix in a few Carian slicers. The rest won’t do you good. I haven’t tried gravity sorceries with this build but I imagine they’d be great Depending on your aggression level and reliance on frost spells, either ice or fire infused main gauche will both serve you well

[@Soul_Of_A_GracelessTarnished]

You really took "mongrel intruder" literally XD XD XD I love it!

[@trippij5710]

That was such an incredible fight 🤩

[@marselo3315]

Man this whole combination of weapons is genius, i never find the use of weapon arts to be cool when power stancing, it just doesn’t look right, neither do strong attacks, but using a weapons that doesn’t have strong attacks + other weapons that the weapon art makes sense is beautifull, and gives this dagger a purpose in life
