Can Any NPC Defeat Elemer of the Briar - Elden Ring

[@DrakeManastorm]

Elemer is just designed to attack as you stand up, if you don't dodge you become like poor Bernahl.

[@kode-man23]

FR. That was some okizeme shit

Shabiri took a molly whoppin also. Not a single dodge roll

[@eragonbook4]

its a comprehensive guide on why this boss is bullshit its near impossible on some playstyles small arena, near status effect immunity, to fast for most spells, incantations and ashes, extreme poise, weapon art spam and to fast. malenia is ok but that thing is just stupid

He does pretty much have the force too

[@ColinGruver-p3q]

[@gandalfthewhite.5245]

Nipheli winning didn’t surprise me. She’s the only one npc that feels like she’s designed to fight bosses. She rolls, and she does damage. After using her in the Godfrey fight, I can confidently say that she deserves that W

[@Billys_lover]

I dunno how good Nipheli vs Godfrey, but in this video Nepheli just twice tankier than Elemer. Damage -+equal, but very big diff in hp.

[@cataliniancu5318]

Yeah but Nepheli simply has superior stats and superior HP even to this boss.

[@erenyeaga9331]

you forgot to add "in" to that last word kiddo

[@VValunt]

Elemer is kind of a mirror to completist players. A bloodthirsty knight on a mission to take all the bell bearings, no matter the cost. And his lore is also kind of badass. He kills his executioners with the same sword they were gonna use on him and takes over their castle with ease. Truly the main character of his own lore segment. I just wished his real form was more challenging than the Caelid version; and that he had more moves for that fight in particular

[@darklorddisco]

Bernahl, master of ashes of war…spams R1

[@Sangth123]

Always good to see Vyke take a W.

[@ackbarreserve]

Elmer getting absolutely clowned upon by Gideon is pure gold

[@crisisasp5396]

elemer the briar is one of my favourite fights in the game, something about just being a big guy with a magical sword in a game full of enemies that will blast your ass with primordial magic is just really appealing to me

[@Milan-mh4nc]

Yeah I enjoyed his fight too, his small arena made it challenging to fight him.

[@restcure]

Elemer demonstrates another sword technique on Patches by using it to smack the heal potion out of his hand.

[@ArcSolaire]

Must be nice having infinite stamina, basically infinite poise, what amounts to a teleport that also does damage and sends people flying, quick rapid colossal sword attacks at both melee and long range, and an AI set to Never-Stop-Attacking mode lol.

[@themasquerader101]

Someone at Fromsoft got into their crack stash when making Elden Ring

[@themasquerader101]

Oh you forgot to mention; -An aoe that takes away punishing the dodgable shield slam. -Absolutely ZERO healing opportunities. -Oh and my favorite, attack patterns that are designed for the sole purpose of chain staggering the player into oblivion

[@ReckSaber3664]

This is why vyke was worthy of becoming Elden Lord

[@reaper4812]

This genuinely just feels like the Darth Vader scene at the end of Rogue One

[@vex350]

A lot of them would have a chance if every hit didn't either stagger or just fully send them flying, or if they could dodge properly, but as it is it's just a never ending chain of combos

[@agentofchaos7456]

The Millicent fight was so disappointing. She is suppose to be much stronger than all of her sisters and has a health potion unlike them. But Amy and Maureen put up WAY better fights against Elemer. Amy nearly beat him and Maureen took out half of his health. So I was expecting so much more from Millicent. :(

[@Shin_FTW]

Well, her weapon doesn't have great reach or damage like Maureen's, she kept rolling around, and getting cucked out of her WFD. She usually outperforms. Elemer's too aggressive to put up with that.

[@wyattthealchemist]

Is the invasion version of Millicent a different NPC? Always feels like her damage is through the roof when she invades in the middle of Caelid swamp. Her attacks barely tickled him here. There were a few other NPC's whose attacks seemed shockingly weak as well. Like Jarren

[@ibrahimalsalmi4759]

@@wyattthealchemist it’s for balancing reasons.. if for example he didn’t nerf Elmer he’d one shot most of them

@@ibrahimalsalmi4759 not trying to call you a liar or anything, but how do you know? Did he talk about this in a prior video? If it's for balance though, how does he determine how NPC's are tuned?

[@ibrahimalsalmi4759]

@@wyattthealchemist I saw another KZbinr that explains this… he said in order to give the bosses a fair fight we need to put them on a similar scale… and he actually does fights with original scale then with everyone having the same scale … and trust me it’s not fun to not have them at the original scale most late game bosses would one shot early game bosses … same with the npc. Not sure how scaling works but basically it makes them as if they are in the same arena for example limgrave scaling

[@johnnyzen4282]

His attack animations are great. I love it when he reaches over his shoulder and braces with the shield, then charges. He pulls it out at any range, too, so it's not just a gap closer. The 720 swing into the overhead slash is great, too.

[@seanoflaherty1897]

Aw man, I love Elmer so much! The way he uses his sword with the "force" similar to Darth Vader (from the Caelid Tournament Video) is so unique and intimidating! He is definitely a force to be reckoned with here. It looked like during the Millicent fight that he impaled Millicent mid-jump at 15:52, ouch. Also loved how Elmer kept having Inquisitor Ghiza roll after each hit he gave him!

[@VenciiGames]

Elmer is just an intimidating boss like crucible knights. I think that’s what makes enemies like that so difficult. They just eat hits for breakfast and attack nonstop. It feels like there’s no hope you’ll win when you fight them. They’re just straight up tanks.

These fights really need proper level scaling. Each area has a modifier and they should be set the same for every npc so you don’t get things like Jerren only doing 23 damage cause he’s found at Redmane Castle and Raya Lucaria while Elemer is found at the shaded castle.
