Can ANY Boss Survive Caelid's Laser Golem? - Elden Ring

In this elden ring video I'm testing whether any of the main bosses in elden ring can survive Caelid's overpowered magic golem.
What's particular about this golem is that it not only has 35k hp and can shred poise easily but it can also shoot laser beams that can deal over 10k in damage depending on how many hits they land.

​@@tapmcshoe9677 Is right. By the end it was pretty clear who he would and wouldn't win against. The lasers in particular gave it away, always being aimed at a specific spot on a bosses body showed just how hardcoded this guy was to fighting players. He was missing constantly not just that fight but to a lesser extent others when the bosses "core" wasn't on ground level. It really came down to whether he spammed the lasers or not for the majority of the latter bosses, if he did then he won, if he didn't then he didn't. The only outlier being Malenia because despite being roughly (ROUGHLY) player shaped she simply had too much maneuverability, especially spamming Waterfowl Dance. *TL'DR* - These matches really give good insight into how the enemy combat and pathing works and often shows how regular enemies were always specifically coded to fight players and nothing else.

24:05 Godfrey got hit by the beams once and decided enough was enough.

[@Marrciie]

i have given thee curtesy enough

[@SSmitar]

Also he did 10k damage with that slam. Does that slam do damage based on max HP? Because I don't remember getting one shot by that. Close but no where near 10k.

[@itsjustme8947]

Me, a simple tarnished: "Why aren't you Elden Lord, my fine golem?" Golem: "Too.....much.....paperwork....."

[@LShadowblade]

The golem vs ricard felt like the last wounded warrior trying to fight off a demon until the very end. It felt almost inspiring.

[@NotKilgamesh]

3:00 The way he flattened Godrick like the bug he is so pleasing.

[@wrextheblind3787]

I was hopeful for rhadan, but fire giant straight out reached him, as for the godskin duo I I honestly didn’t expect it, I like how most of the fights starts with that reach and smack like it’s the Golum way of gauging how difficult the fight will be

[@CGGongtai]

Damn, Radahn was in with a shout - just needed to keep using the Radahn's Rain. I figured Placidusax would have it in the bag since his laser show is even more impressive, but alas his AI didn't use it.

[@sevirakalau2171]

[@derrikthegreat4133]

he tried to at the very end, but the wind up for it was a little too long

[@s8theninjawarrior916]

He uses his laser move at like 10% hp only, so its a stretch for him to survive long enough to use it

[@Layzieee]

Just like a few other bosses, Placi has to go through a few animations/attacks that activate after certain health thresholds before he can use lasers. Two teleport slams and be below 50% I think

[@stevenelliott8977]

These folk are right. The full animation starts with the second meteor attack, then the 3 red lightning bolts, then the laser. He is supposed to be facing you tho so I believe it would have shot in the wrong direction anyway

[@doomqwer]

the great serpent and the astel fight were proper kaiju battles

[@Xsuh]

I must have played this game like six times and I had no idea this variant of the golems even existed. The only two golems in Caelid I was aware of were the two you fight on the way to the great jar.

Well I cannot take this thing seriously until I am shown its location, been all over Calid and never found it. And I mean literally everywhere.

[@proximity5495]

There yet still no other game, with such level design. The bosses designs, animations, skill effects, colors, sound effects, etc. It's all so good and mixed so perfectly. Praise the elden lord!

[@delecti]

I wonder how many of these fights would have gone differently if some of the attack animations weren't hardcoded to attack a player-sized target, and not a ~50 foot tall laser golem.

[@LrdOfTheBlings]

The golem is also coded to attack a player-sized target. The fire giant battle would have been much cooler if he wasn't.

[@Lazymindflayerwithcofffee]

​@@LrdOfTheBlingsactual fire-giants shield bash?

[@jackofblades2007]

And also the fact that bosses don't take advantage of stance break. I know it shows up in most of these boss vs boss videos, but the golems are really screwy if you don't use the stun critical hit.

[@TuffMelon]

I love how the Fire Giant makes everything in the game look small by comparison.

Was cool to see Rennala actually use her summons in one of these fights. Normally she gets one shot and doesn't get to use them. She really pulled out all the stops and did pretty well for only the second boss in the game.

[@Khan-_-Art1st]

She's the third boss

Ye, if she had a bit more health she probs would've won, or if the golem just didn't have that ridiculous amount of health comparable to the fire giant lmao

Yeah, just shows how absolutely busted her heal on hit and waterfowl dance are. 6k dmg in one move and immediately back to full health.

[@PunkZombie1300]

To be fair Godfrey didn't really need to be in phase 2, if he'd stunned the golem out of the lasers he would've finished in phase 1 just fine.

[@CoolName1311]

This just showed me how good the elden ring bosses attacks are and how good the fighting system is. Even when fighting enemies they arent built to fight, they still end up doing some cohesive combos with stuns and stuff

[@mythilicar]

that radahn fight is frickin nuts dude. i love golems so much.

[@jamesmcgill5493]

She didn't have a chance but Rennala put up a hell of a fight!

[@Zyk0th]

You could see some strategy there. She used her dragon to distract the golem, then blasted it with a Full Moon. She pulled out a Comet Azur while it was staggered. I almost believed in her, then I took a closer look at the health bars.
