Can ANY NG+7 Boss Survive the Knights Coalition? - Elden Ring

In this elden ring video I'm testing whether any of the strongest bosses in elden ring can survive a small army of various knights.
To run this test I've scaled up all of the bosses to NG+7 and doubled their poise and put them up against a group of all of the main knight factions in the game. The knights included are Godrick's, Cuckoo's, Leyndell's, Redmane's, Mausoleum's and Haligtree's.

[@EduardoStormrage]

Great content as usual Bjorn, amazing to see all those bosses insta-crushed, and Malenia, pierced to infinity by all those arrows. Btw, I miss some "Loretta action" on the vids, she's weak and all, but her moveset is awesome, maybe some overpowered meme-version of her, just like Rick, could give us a fine spectacle. P.S: I don't even play Elden Ring, but dug several hours on watching your mod battles and lore vids from Vaati and Smough. Game is so brilliantly designed that charms us even when you don't own it. I'll surely give it a try once dlc is lauched. And so glad if you read it all this far! Keep up the great job, I'm inclined to try the game just because of the external content, like yours!

[@stevenneiman1554]

It seems like Mogh almost always comes down to whether he lives long enough to Nihil. Which I guess makes sense, because Nihil is a devastating offensive move, a hefty heal, and arguably the most impactful phase transition of any boss all rolled into one. Only time I can recall it NOT being the deciding factor was against alexander and Blaidd and that was a really weird matchup because it was so heavily shaped by Alexander being immune to 2/3 of his kit and resistant to the last third.

[@mr_inconspicuous]

I gotta cool idea, but I don't know if it works: Disable the fog gates on boss rooms and aggro all enemies to the boss to see who can survive the onslaught. Alternatively you could warp all the enemies in there a few at a time. I'm sure some baddies would get lost on the way but it sounds fun

[@Sinphanius]

Regarding the Godskin Duo issue, that is a long running issue. Been here since 4 Kings in DS1 so don't expect it to leave any time soon. If I remember how it works correctly its because it just duplicates all of the damage done to the constituent entities on the one that actually provides the HP bar and which is hidden somewhere off-map. Because the individuals can still 'take damage' while dying, this happens. However if you do want to stop that and don't mind doing some TAE editing, you should be able to hack it out by flagging the individual entity's Death Animations as 'Dodging' to make them immune to damage during these animations. I don't know if NPCs use the same FlagAsDodging that Players use, so instead of taking that one I would find the Bloodhound Knight and take theirs, since they definitely should have I-Frame's on their Bloodhound Steps. And given how radically this bug can skew results in these massive 'Army' battles I don't think anyone would mind that small mod.
