Yo the Latenna cheese is one thing entirely but finding out lock on potentially dictates the hyper aggression of some bosses sounds like a huge mechanical discovery

[@snunpai]

It's quite consistent. I just did it in NG+7 with Ohga if you're interested. kzbin.info/www/bejne/fpyzfGyhisanqqM

[@michaelclark4876]

Just fought Baleful shadow using a deliberate no-look, no-lock approach. He spent most of the time walking slowly towards me. Only rarely lunged., Used rotten breath, weapon art and power stance all aimless to damage. Supposedly he can heal himself repeatedly. I didn't see him do it at all. Maybe it affects how they assess need to heal as well as aggression and dodging.

[@snunpai]

@@michaelclark4876 That's really good data! I expected Baleful Shadow to be in the group of hard-coded dodgers (Lions and Black Knives). But the fact he didn't heal? Very interesting. I'll be posting another video today showcasing this theory.

[@pedrootenio4225]

Works the same way with jar cannon If you tap to shoot while she's off camera and then aim at her, she can't Dodge the Arrow But If you Lock on, she'll Dodge Same concept

[@cybervoid8442]

Lmao this settles it. This is a lore friendly move

[@mynameizj1]

Any one else here thinking it's distance not the lock or the look. When you walk backwards you are slower and distance is lost. I don't know if any other player do but when I play bosses or even animes you can bait attacks depending on distance and if you are left or right of them

[@chriskelvin248]

@@mynameizj1 proximity is the age-old standby in video games for aggro mechanics and I definitely observe that in this game (though there doesn’t seem to be any level-difference-modifier mechanic, which allows for some crazy exploration opportunities). The target-lock aspect? I’m intrigued, but not convinced. But it seemed occasionally noticeable on this boss demo. There are other kinda mysterious mechanics such as sneaking, hiding in a bush and hiding line-of-sight. Why torches and lanterns and noisy buffs in a dark cave don’t give you away is quite odd, lol.

[@mynameizj1]

@@chriskelvin248 this is true 🤔.. tank you for your reply

[@snunpai]

@@mynameizj1 Distance will affect the agro heavily. The Lock-on for sure affects how she reads projectiles. I tested it with every Archer summon and it's consistent. It's either if you're locked on OR if you're directly facing her will she detect an incoming projectile from another source. This is very clearly shown with Ohga or the Ancestor Follower given how near instant their shots are.

[@slicksilver2961]

There’s something amazingly hilarious about the tip: “Don’t look at her”

[@kokorochacarero8003]

This gave the phrase "the real boss is the camera" an entire new meaning

[@prosaicprose254]

I watched a video of Malenia fighting other bosses and wondered why she did so much slow walking (and getting hit/knocked down.) After watching this, realized that this tactic of NOT facing her probably was why she wasn’t more aggressive.

[@varski76]

Nice catch man

[@0x0404]

There is that one talisman(Shabriri's Woe), and headgear(Duelist Helm/Rotten Duelist Helm), that make you draw aggro. You might not need to use darts at all.

[@snunpai]

It does not work on Ash summons according to the Wiki. Regardless, she doesn't really even go for Latenna once you're far enough. This applies to most bosses that I've seen where just sheer distance prevents Latenna from being targeted. The darts help set-up creating the distance very well though.

[@snunpai]

I've made a video about this: kzbin.info/www/bejne/sH6WloVji61sZ6s

He is using blood bound step though, which does make it fairly easy to dodge. It she fact that it's mainly latenna solo that's impressive.

[@lipiningole1381]

Killed her first try in ng+ and died 40 times in ng. Felt so good. still had one health and magic flask left . But it was so satisfying to not get killed by her waterfowl dance .

[@freeziboi3249]

Perfect dodging her waterfowl dance is the most badass thing.

[@ImWhyMortalsCry]

I had a really good time against her in ng, but now on ng+ she fucking annoys me. I always have to predict waterfowl which results in both of us not doing anything for 30 seconds. I don't want to approach her because I believe she's gonna do it and Malenia is just edgewalking in a circle because I'm not approaching her. And when I do approach her (or when I'm in the middle of an attack) she gets me with the point blank waterfowl because I have no time to run away. I wish there was a consistent way to dodge it at point blank range. Even better would be an indicator so you know she's doing it so you can prepare. Like Mohg's Trés, Duo, Unus before he does Nihil.

[@rumplstiltztinkerstein]

I fought her first time with a few teammates and defeated her due to luck and gank damage. But then I tried to help other players and just died over and over again.

[@dr21papi2]

BRO i freaking LOVE YOU, i cant thank you enough, after months of torture and countless deletion , you lent me your golden hands and lifted me back up.

I'm very glad I was able to help!

[@andrewsnyder9148]

"All you have to do is just not die!" Okay buddy...

[@garrick3727]

That is genius. Now I am wondering whether not looking at the boss is a valid tactic for other bosses. I moved where my lock-on button is because I kept accidentally switching lock off. Since then I noticed that switching lock on and off does make some fights easier, but I never understood why. For example, the erdtree spirits seem to be much easier if you fight them with the lock off. I just thought it was because it was easier to evade them, but thinking about it now they do seem to use a more limited moveset if you are not locked on. Also, I found that when there is an enemy around a corner, if you lock on and go round the corner they are ready for you, but if you do not lock-on you can often catch them out for a free hit. Pretty convinced that looking at a boss or locking on to a boss makes a big difference to their actions. I need to try this out more.

[@snunpai]

I'm interested too. I've been testing this on a good number of bosses and it seems pretty consistent. Maliketh has a similar behavior if you look away as well. I'm going to see if it works on the other endgame bosses.

[@ulyaoth3579]

Quick Answer... Yes, Never target your Boss with the Breath attacks like rot breath and watch the magic happen

[@snunpai]

@@ulyaoth3579 Free-Aiming projectiles has always been a technique in Souls games. For example, throwing pyromancy while aiming up extends the distance it can travel and makes hitting enemies you couldn't while locked on possible. I'm glad the breath attacks are included in this list.

[@hunterburguillo5891]

Will she react or change at all with mist casts? Ex, Poison mist while not locking on her and Latenna shooting?

[@snunpai]

@@hunterburguillo5891 She does react to those locked on. In my Night Maiden's Mist run, I free aimed to the side and she just stayed inside the mist. She will dodge if you lock on and begin the cast. I don't know if Mists draw agro. Feel free to check it out!

[@kyomugami8383]

So this is why Gideon wanted us to find the Albinauric Woman

[@wookash8437]

Can we take a moment to appreciate this flawless watefowl dance dodging. I think to actually start having any conversation, about having fun in defeating her by any method, we have to be able to get this part right like you do. Let alone to walk calmly in front of her, with our backside turned on her 😂

[@RJMacReady1]

Disregarding waterfowl the fight is actually such a goddamn blast. But that one move just drags it way down.

[@richarddunne3689]

Latenna is the best, essential on my RL1 run. Annihilates any boss with a big arena. Took down Mogh RL1 with her, aggro management was a bitch there but doable.

[@thecasualfly]

This mechanic reminds me of O'rin in Sekiro when you get her across the bridge ..if you hit her once in the back she lets you smack her but if you face her she turns to block or attack

[@GRXPHICcontent]

“hit her once in the back she lets you smack her” that 😌

[@malekartorian3054]

I love this. Lore wise it fits bc the game seems to be telling you to summon her for the fight with her whole quest. Niice.

[@snunpai]

Edit: I cannot comprehend how this has 60k views. Thank You. Edit 2: 100K views is a milestone I'd thought I'd never get. I do this in NG+7 with Ohga: kzbin.info/www/bejne/fpyzfGyhisanqqM Check out how to do this on the Final Boss: kzbin.info/www/bejne/rWe9Zp15isuZrsU Also check out my test about Shabriri's Woe: kzbin.info/www/bejne/sH6WloVji61sZ6s People have been suggesting to use Shabriri's Woe or the Duelist Gear. I will explain to the best of my knowledge, but it doesn't work on Ash Summons that aren't a humanoid/player model like your character. Examples are your Mimic (if you take yours off after summoning it), the Dung Eater when he screams, and Maiden Therolina if you have it on. The suggestions are still good though, but this type of AI manipulation is less about the agro and more about distance. If the boss is simply too far away from her, Latenna cannot get targeted. I keep knives on me just in case they actually get within that targeting range to drag the boss towards me. That being said, your comments are very welcome! I appreciate all of them.

[@misakisaki2682]

60K people watched it because it's amazing

[@snunpai]

I tested every Archer on Malenia, here's my consensus: kzbin.info/www/bejne/r6POXn1_m558bqM Turns out Ohga cheeses her, really well.

[@iHaveTheDocuments]

It's funny because much like how some bosses are hard or easy for different ppl, she does great in some fights and lasts about 8 seconds in others. Radagon absolutely cucked her into submission instantly. It looked like a hate crime.

[@snunpai]

I do have a video with Latenna soloing him as well. It was actually the most challenging out of everyone. That man and Elden Beast DO NOT like her.

[@L0reweaver]

there s something very satisfying to see her full of arrows ;)

[@jakeryan2805]

Latenna my favorite summon. Bring that waifu to every boss fight. Plop her down, and with that massive range she can hit anything from anywhere. Now give her a wolf in some dlc, and we are set.

[@gumper323]

Your patience is amazing. Great video!

[@zsDUGGZ]

If you wanna end this fight quickly on top of cheesing her, equip a greatsword/greataxe/greathammer and put wild strikes on it. You will armor through most attacks and her dodge timings will cause her to dodge into the next strike

[@ashrunzeda4099]

This is the same tactic that I used for most bosses in my strength build playthrough, but instead of using Latenna, I just used the Marionette Soldier Ashes. It's fun watching bosses dance around the map without me doing anything to them. Instead of running after them, I just waited for guard counter chances till they stagger and eventually die.

[@Awolfx]

Quite the innovative idea to use Latenna to pelt Malenia while keeping all of Malenia's aggro on you. Reminds me of how I used Latenna to help me defeat the Mt. Gelmir Magma Wyrm.

[@snunpai]

It also works on the Tree Spirit there, the Gargoyle after Sentinels at Lendyll, the Magma Wyrm at Snowfield, and Deathrite Bird at Snowfield. There's more of course but those are at the top of my head.

[@addyvarlick6204]

I used Latenna to beat the void rememberance fucker in the lake of rot & later in the mountain tops of the giants dungeon. tbf that muthuh fucker is hard to dodge and you really gotta draw him more viciously than this it seems.

Father Gascoigne taught me that lesson about no lockon cheesing years ago. Yes, indeed. He taught me many times.

[@-B-B]

This seems like it would be a good way to learn her move set, and to practice dodging the waterfowl so you are learn to beat her legit. Thanks for posting this.

[@snunpai]

You ARE focusing on dodging and she'll actually keep attacking you since she's getting hit by something. It's annoying to wait for her to attack so you can react accordingly otherwise (especially when you want to learn to parry her). The problem is waterfowl tends to be a one mistake death punishment so you can't learn very well otherwise.

[@KuonilerariLoufanwald]

"Beat her legit" Implying there's a set method to fighting bosses and this is cheating.

[@-B-B]

@@KuonilerariLoufanwald I'm not saying it's cheating at all, and maybe "legit" was not the best choice of words, however,. I think we all understand it's one thing to focus all of your attention on dodging without having to take any risk of attacking, verses dodging and being in position to counter attack. There are two very different things, and one is much, much harder than the other. Still, the point of my reply was to acknowledge this could be a good method to learn the movesets, however you want to beat the boss.

Agony and despair is what i experienced against Malenia, starting by the obvious reactions such as "this is bs" at the healing, "how the fuck can i even survive this" at waterfoul and up to the "i'm done i will never beat this game, my years of glory have ended" I used a single bleed katana, i was out of ideas and not even a bleed build but it seemed to be the most effective way, also any decent shield with barricade just to avoid the stamina drain of waterfoul because i suck at dodging the first wave of hits, no blood hound step or magic (blind run), but alas i learned every single move and timing of her attacks, and eventually beat her in like 50-70 tries i lost count, now she can only get easier in future playthroughs, she has nothing on me now.

[@snunpai]

It is very much akin to Sekiro, where once you figure out the patterns and rhythm, you retain that skill. Sekiro bosses unfortunately ALL become nothing once you learn to abuse every single opening. I salute your effort and attrition!

The game would definitely be worse off without them, but it still kinda sucks they're the only thing in the game that give you a breathing window when fighting a boss, because it literally just turns elden ring into a turn based RPG on most non-gank bosses. Do damage, draw aggro, back off, let your spirit deal damage, draw aggro, repeat. it makes the game too easy when I'd just prefer if the boss attacked like 33% less often.

Latenna is the best spirit ash cause unlike all the other ashes she doesn't make the bosses spin in constant aggro so you can focus on 1v1 with the boss while she just keeps the pressure and stagger so you know it's actually a fun summon... unlike 90% of the summons "in my opinion at least"... and hey she also waif material

[@snunpai]

She's the best summon aside from Tiche for me. I don't even use Mimic anymore. The consistent damage is arguably better than most summons (like for Elden Beast, she's the only one who can damage him almost anywhere he is). She's not meant to draw agro (obviously), but I prefer agro on me for most action RPG's anyway. It makes it easier to tell what bosses are doing and you don't get caught by them suddenly switching agro on to you.

[@dragonslayer3552]

[@snunpai]

I remember distinctly summoning Tiche for Godskin Duo and I started buffing (Golden Vow, Erdtree Blessing, FGMS). She took care of a solid 20% by the time I was done. She wasn't having it that day.

[@MaxMinstats]

I'm doing a sl1 run with a lvl 10 latenna and she's amazing! Latenna is seriously the goat! Her range is further than her visual spawn some times! Commander Niels spear and mohggs great rune and seppuku buff her up nice and if you need just drop a warming stone or that sheild ash of war she can have a longer happier picnic and if you need to keep her alive for aoe nukes just drink the ally damage boost perfume cuz it makes the next hit they recieve only do a tiny % it normally would! There's a ton of great ways to use her!

[@Virusruneblazer]

The redmane knight's arrows are so strong they continually just knock her over lmao

[@KoriKitsune]

also according to some other video, if you summon latenna, or any summons really, before you summon them you activate moghs great rune. this gives all your summons an extra 20% damage boost among things. now, if anywhere, in a huge range really, any bloodloss occurs while moghs great rune is active, your summons get another 20% damage boost for like a minute or so, on top of the permament other 20% damage boost. Finally, you can also throw a cursed blood pot on the ground, or, at malenia herself. I dont think it has much effect for latenna, unless it would make her attack faster... but the pot effect itself, whether it misses or not, also adds another damage boost to summons. so you can make latenna do a good deal more damage that way.

[@snunpai]

I didn't know about the innate 20% boost. I was under the impression I have to proc bleed/curse pot. It didn't cross my mind since the tests I was doing with this, I was restricting myself from attacking her to see if Latenna could truly solo her (which she did). I will be using Mohg's rune when I test the other archers though!

[@nathaeladalyah9681]

My strategy for Malenia was similar but different. I used Oleg, and my goal was to keep Malenia focused on me, dodge her attacks, and have Oleg initiate from her backside. Once he hits, I would jump into a double greatswords power stance attack, knock her flat on her face, swing one more time, and roll out. Since I dealt more damage and was technically the one who broke her stance, she would go right back to focusing me. However, I had to keep looking at her for it to work, because the moment she focused Oleg during Phase 1 it was a loss, because Oleg suicides at the start of Phase 2 and loses half of his health.

[@KruberFan]

I really like both this and the jar cannon ways to cheese her. I wonder if you could combine the two for any sort of result?

[@snunpai]

Perhaps, but this does rely on drawing agro. You wouldn't be able to fire next to Latenna and keep her away as you'd imagine. You could run a Greatshield and just push her on her ass while Latenna uses her M16. Interesting suggestion!

I'll be testing that as well. Sounds very fun actually! Especially if he gets headshots.

[@guyfrowny]

Tbh this is actually cool af and I would consider a "challenge" method.

[@captkalik]

I wish there was an option to make latenna use different arrows of your choosing, like if these were fire arrows instead of magic arrows it would be awesome since malenia is weak to fire , there is another archer ash that does sleep arrows but not sure if this boss can be put to sleep

[@Safetyman99]

I've only beaten Malenia by summoning Let Me Solo Her... LOL. Thanks for this info... I'ma try it for sure.

[@nicolasgiudici4697]

Oh God you really Need to try that with the puppets archers

[@snunpai]

That's on the list!

[@wuconda1712]

Very useful guide for me to fight Malenia

[@michaelhernandez9187]

Radahn had cleanrot spears lodged into his back. Malenia has Lattenna arrows lol

[@saturn580]

In her second phase Malenia's wings make her an even bigger target for Latenna. 🤣

[@snunpai]

I actually didn't know her wings were a hitbox!

[@HateSpeech4Life]

That was crazy you figured that out 😂😂😂😂

[@Cavegeckosol]

Wild Malenias perceive eye contact as a challenge.

[@JanVerny]

I came up with this idea too, sadly I always die to the waterfowl. Just too difficult to dodge that thing.

[@ThePorkchopExpress975]

this is great!!!
