If you actually watch how he plays at the start you'll see him run into the boss where he should be then his camera goes haywire making his roll do the opposite of the direction he is inputting because the head is behind him and after that he tries to back off firther and further so it stops happening. This boss doesnt counter anything it has a long body that makes the camera have a fit like a four year old thats been told it cant have ice-cream for dinner. This game has by far the worst camera of any souls game I ever played but how do you fix it honestly. Probably not by forcing it to get stuck on walls preventing it from moving at all and adding the lock-on to the same button which is also complete non-sense.

[@XxDeathxX509]

@@kylemenosyou’re not suppose to lock on 😂

[@kylemenos]

@@XxDeathxX509 why is it in the game then? if its in the game your supposed to use it. otherwise it wouldnt be in the game. The problem isnt the lock-on its the head positioning being behind the player causing the camera to swing a 180 reversing your controls. If any thing enemys should be coded to not have stupidly agresive AI that pushes them against the player when they have long necks or better yet just dont give a lock on to the head of an enemy with a long neck. Its not the players fault. It's the devs fault. Like the stupid decision to put the center camera button onto lock-on so that when it doesnt work your camera does a 180 if your walking away from an enemy making you turn around to get smashed in the face by one many of the charging attacks in the game

[@shaaspire]

When McConnell asked "I don't know how you lived at 1 hp" - there is actually a Elden Ring mechanic that both bosses and players have. Bosses have 15-35% of going to 1 hp when you hit them. Players have a 5-15% chance to go to 1 hp when hit. It's a mechanic to add some RNG to give players and bosses a chance to change the outcome.

[@bigradars2011]

[@LPDarkSoulsHD]

It took me a minute to figure out the Rite variant of this boss. His normal form is a joke. This shit is basically Super Saiyan Blue Deathbird though. I only killed this one on the first try because the exact same version spawns in Caelid right beneath the magic pot throwing giant and I fought him at least 4 times before I beat him. The trick is to stay behind him and NOT lock on. Not only do all of his melee attacks miss you in this position, but his magic attacks as well. The fire never spreads behind him and the homing skull attack can't do a 180. Remember that for when you're feeling squirrely enough to take on the version of him that's even worse than this one 😂.

[@wolfcatcombo5859]

I often find that if I am struggling with a boss, it is usually because my approach to fighting them is too shallow and that changing tactics after learning its choreography helps dramatically. It does not make sense for every boss' weak point to be "easy to hit." They would naturally move their head around to protect it. IRL fighters do this constantly, it is very important. Likewise an opponent focusing on a weak point too thoroughly can lead to them being distracted from other elements of a fight. You are meant to change focus. Aim at their head when it is feasible, and at their body when it is not. Elden Ring allows you to quickly cycle targets while targeting for that reason. If you are struggling with any boss, try changing your approach, every new encounter with a boss is just learning a new song and dance. You have to adjust to that song and dance if want things to go well. If you're trying to breakdance to classic opera or sing louder than the choir, you are going to struggle, and doing that is okay, but you have to accept that your unwillingness to follow the rhythm that was laid before you is the cause of that struggle. There are always going to be builds/strategies that are ill-suited to fight some bosses, and there should be. Anything contrary would trivialize any obstacle the game would throw at you, or require developers to give every boss multiple forms and find some way to predict what form would make for the best playing experience for your build/strategy; this is unrealistic. You did well in defeating that boss. I know you said you don't feel good about beating the boss, but you should. Your song was louder, and that is impressive. Well done.

That, and attacking when he should be rolling. Attacking twice, locking into the second animation that should have been a roll. Rolling into damage rather than away from it. Lots of mistakes here. He has very good damage output, just not very good technical skills at avoiding damage. It’s also one of those bosses where it pays to cling to its feet. It won’t use its really damaging ranged attacks then. You just need to be good at timing your rolls. Usually rolling towards the boss is better than away. If you time your rolls right you’ll avoid the damage, and now you’ll be in weapons range to punish. If you roll away you now can’t hit them, and opened yourself up to more ranged attacks.

This boss fight is absolutely epic. Asmon, you gotta learn to unlock ur camera during certain fights and only lock on when ur attacking. Also u didn’t give the “clicking into other body parts” enough tries. That REALLY Helps STOP locking onto his head. When you lock on his body you have much better success than the stupid head. His head moves around so crazy and locking on forces your camera to go crazy. Saying you dont want to lock on to his body just because head takes double damage is such a bad justification for continuing to die. Whats the point that it does more damage if you miss more than 3 times as much? Lock onto the body.

@@Grinch-Sama Summons and magic is not the problem. I never use them in my playthrough. His tactics were all wrong, he was dodging away each time instead of into him which is the best way to avoid the combos of the Deathbirds in this game. Instead of just targeting the head he could have easily targeted it's body. Less damage but consistent punishes shortening the fight considerably. I see this when I see people fight Radahn. Stay close to him and learn his combos which are not too complex as they have fairly large windups. I beat Radahn with dual Uchigatanas on foot. Just used the horse in the beginning to get to him while avoiding the arrow and the meteor in the second phase. The rest of the time dodge into him, stay behind him, bait the gravity slam and then go behind him to punish him which gives you enough time for a full combo and get the bleed. Rinse and repeat. I gave this advise to my friend who has a hookclaw build and he beat him on 4 tries. No summons, no magic. And it's not like he's an expert at these games. He has only played Sekiro. The real difficulty in souls like games has always been the finding the right strat. And I mean for melee only builds. You don't need magic or summons at all. When more challenge runners start doing no-hit runs and speedruns you'll see. It is all about finding the right strat and I don't mean cheese strats either.

It's entertaining to watch asmon play the majority of the game but it is 100% the most frustrating thing in the world watching him just not use the tools at his disposal for no reason. I get the summons, I thought his fight against Radahn was awesome because so many people just can't do it.

[@Aramythr]

Pre-nerf Radahn was actually not necessarily easier with summons (Unless you did one or two rot breaths and only rode around summoning). This is because all the summons made his agro go incredibly random, one time he's hitting a summon then the next second he's hitting you. Moreover he does all these aoe attacks and circling attacks when there's someone up close so finding an opening is random and hard. The summons also don't do that much dmg to Radahn. Facing him 1v1 makes his attacks more consistent and predictable, and you learn his attack patterns a lot faster. There's especially one attack combo that has a really big opening for a mounted heavy attack. You just have to be patient and jump over the purple waves once in a while. When you get it, it's actually pretty easy. Unfortunately he got nerfed.

Here is the true genius of this boss, it gives you a super tempting double damage weak spot but it won’t be easy to hit it all the time due to the strange way it’s head moves all the time. The head is also a bit away from the rest of its body so as you are whiffing all of your attacks on the head you are missing the body too.
