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

​@@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.

I love how Godfrey always seems to take the fights seriously

[@xanthiusdrake2775]

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.

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

[@JordanKropnick]

Man this could have been a dope weapon drop. Magic version of Goldems Halbred with a unique ash of war. It would be OP with the magic lasers.

[@LunarMuphinz]

Seriously was hoping for that, but all I got was a regular halberd. So disappointing

[@snakeking5009]

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

[@ShieniLicksOnLemons]

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

[@Generalofthexianzhoualliance]

She?

[@thunderpants2813]

[@shockedgaming8391]

he doesnt dodge it tho

[@jeffreyboucher344]

You'd think Sir Gideon, the All-Knowing would have been wise enough to step aside from those downward slams lol

[@PierceArner]

I really wish that the permanently glowing Halberd of this absolute juggernaut was a unique weapon in the game.

[@Ett.Gammalt.Bergtroll]

Imagine if it’s AoW summoned one of those orbs, too.

[@monkeydetonation]

Hopefully in the dlc

[@PierceArner]

Even if the AoW had the orbs fire a single quick shot in succession, rather than firing a continuously sustained beam, that would be _SO cool._ The Golem's Halberd has long been one of my weapons of choice in *Elden Ring* and with the glowing blue Golem's Great Arrows being _such_ a rare drop and pain to farm, I wouldn't be surprised if we got some more stuff related to them in *Shadow of the Erdtree* - even if it's not this exact weapon.

[@joshuakim5240]

The closest thing is the Watchdog Staff and its unique AoW, albeit those are projectiles and not lasers.

[@PierceArner]

@@joshuakim5240 Sorcery of the Crozier is a really cool, unique AoW

[@DarkerThrones]

The Battle With hoarah loux with the grabbing attack was awesome

[@blindtreeman8052]

seeing hoarah loux do a powerbomb on the golem is hillarious. My headacanon now is that he was doing wrestling moves on the fire giants and only started calling himself godfrey after that conquest

[@evronian1129]

I gotta say, I like how in Elden ring the main bosses are not the be all end all of power, that there are special beings out there who can dominate even the demigods themselves. It makes the world feel more alive to me.

[@RougeMephilesClone]

Huh. The camera being pulled this far back helped me figure out that his raining skulls are actually tied to a unique mechanic. That fight is full of surprises. Also, crazy that this golem is in the vanilla game, just way off to the side where no one needs to go. I see players technically get near its location all the time in videos, but never actually go to it. Never would have known without this video bringing it up. Thank you for this.

[@dexter_yours_truly]

Theres actually a reward there from the paintings you can find. Good if ur a bow build. All i'll say.

[@Velisatra]

His weakness seems to be hitboxes. Couldn't hit that fire giant for his life lmao

[@MRX-tm3st]

From other EvE videos I've seen that some bosses do their Riposte animation so I'm guessing grab attacks work like Ripostes and since Golems take several times more critical damage than normal enemies, Hoarah Loux ended up doing 19K damage in a single grab

[@derrikthegreat4133]

That makes a lot of sense, never would've thought of that

[@pokimanefartcompilation]

It's a shame none of the other grab attacks worked, Astel probably could've won otherwise.

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.

[@hayanoob6392]

bro the way the golem summoned its lasers and shot them in the sky after killing morgott was actually a cool way to end a fight

[@wendigotoes]

This could’ve been the one to drop the Golem armor. They had golem armor in the series before, and the design of the golems in this game was really cool. Pretty disappointed it wasn’t armor you could get.

[@bradleys6646]

It's especially disappointing considering you can get the golem weapons. Who wouldn't want to cosplay a golem in pvp? lol

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.
