Can ANY Boss Survive Haligtree Knight Loretta? - Elden Ring

In this elden ring video I'm testing whether any of the most powerful bosses in elden ring can survive Loretta, Knight of the Haligtree.
To test this I've decided to use her strongest variation since it's way more powerful than her Carian form and has a 2nd phase that can cause trouble to even the strongest bosses and demigods. Finally, I've enabled Maliketh's phase transition towards the end to make it more entertaining.

[@Ett.Gammalt.Bergtroll]

@@TheGraysonYT It doesn’t. He has the same “keep away and spam spells”-AI like all spellcasters. He never tries to smack anyone with his club. The reason he feels more melee-y is the close-combat nature of like half of his spells.

Props to Rennala for actually putting work in. She dies super quickly but when she gets going with her magic she really can pump out a lot of damage

[@Reaverbot7]

At one point she broke Loretta's poise 3 times in a row. She is very much a glass canon though.

[@Kamon181]

In most videos Rennala has a very good showing, if her damage output were any higher she’d be one of the most punishing bosses in the game.

[@Hexacosichoron12]

Of course, she is the queen of poise breaking

Man, I love Loretta! She is the true Albanauric MVP! Her evasion of the Meteor attack was so funny, I rewatched it 5 times! :D Her biggest weakness is her stoic nature. She will charge her oponent in a straight line, no matter what she faces, and there are many strong line attacks that she should try to avoid instead. Opponents like Melania and Lazergolem are out of her reach because of that.

[@juangutierrezdeteranlopez4117]

[@minerman60101]

Loretta deserved her own music track. Would've made the encounter at the Haligtree feel less like asset reuse, especially if they mixed up the songs between the two versions like they did for Mohg and Godfrey.

[@BjornTheBear]

Totally agree on this

[@assgardiano]

to be honest I never payed attention to the sentinel song till I was in the Halightree fighting against Loretta, the song really suit her way of fight

Nice video. Have you ever thought about doing a "Demigods collecting Great Runes" series? Like, having Radhan take on all the demigods+Rennala to get their Great Runes and adding bonuses based on which ones they have collected, then have them take on the final slew of bosses (Godskin Duo, Maliketh, Gideon, Chadfrey, Chadagon and Elden beast)? Obviously, there'd have to be some changes to Great Runes like: Godricks Great Rune: +5% damage, health, poise, resistances and absorbtions. Rennala's Great Rune: +10% status resistance and non-physical damage absorbtions. Radhan's Great Rune: +15% health, poise and status resistance Morgotts Great Rune: The same 25% health buff Rykard's Great Rune: +3% Max health and damage for every demigod slain before and after it's collection. Malenia's Great Rune: Just Malenia's Lifesteal Mohg's Great Rune: I genuinely have no idea how to make this one work with it's current concept for any other Demigod, considering only Mohg can consistently cause blood-loss out of all the demigods. Just a little thought experiment.

Video title: "Can ANY Boss Survive Haligtree Knight Loretta?" Loretta: *Proceeds to get utterly stomped by the vast majority of post-Altus bosses in the game in spite of being part of one of the highest scaling areas in the game* Yeh, her second phase can be kinda nutty, but she simply doesn't enough health by then to still achieve much. Worst of all, she seems to have very low poise combined with long wind-ups on a lot of her attacks, meaning she constantly gets staggered out of her strongest moves. It's just a lot of RNG. She can be really powerful, but only if she spams the quick quintuple glintstone stars or her triple arrow mastery, instead of Glintblade Phalanx which forces her to stop moving, has a long animation and also triggers with a delay at limited range. Unfortunately, the AI seems to significantly favour the Glintstone Phalanx over her other ranged moves, making her an easy target and crippling her dps.
