Can Toph Beat Elden Ring's Avatar with Earth Bending?

[@tulokthebarbrarian2033]

Wow, this is a stone cold killer. It really rocks

[@whoknows4780]

Oh no he’s escaped containment!

[@ProfBrunoClemente]

That was a rock solid pun, indeed

[@orioninfernal7269]

I know you probably wont see this tip but against Elden Beast the total BS rain of stars attack that you sprint away from can be fully avoided if you run in circles instead of a straight line. Have to hope it doesnt attack you while you do this still but I've not been hit by that attack since seeing that strat (Still one of the worst bosses though)

[@LoreMan101]

Those puns were about as subtle as a stone in the head.

[@TeenAlchemy]

You know, this joke started off a little rocky for me. Didn’t get it at first. Then I remembered, Im stoned.

[@ASquared544]

Tbh, I really feel like Elden Beast was initially designed to be fought with Torrent, and then FromSoft just… removed the ability to do that. So many of its attacks could be dodged by either moving fast on Horseback or Jumping over the attack, and the fact that it runs away a lot perfectly suits chasing after it on horseback. Idk.

[@Greyscal3Rainbow]

But if they had kept it, BoTW and Elden Ring wouldn’t been VERY similar late game

[@SaganTheKhajiit]

Maybe it would be the "Gwyn can be parried" all over again, so they took it off.

[@skilletborne]

@@SaganTheKhajiit And gave us Lords Divine Fortification for practically free immediately before Elden Beast instead? I would take Torrent for a skill based easy kill, rather than the totally free win that having high Holy res gives you

[@SaganTheKhajiit]

@@skilletborne An incantation that requires 27 faith and most players won't even bother using? That's fine, honestly.

[@jacobhumphrey3535]

It makes sense thematically, too, as Torrent is supposed to be your trusty companion to see your journey through to the end.

[@Frozenkoldfury]

Counterpoint to the Stone of Gurranq: It's funny to pelt people with boulders and you can chain it.

[@FruitKocktail]

The assassin has half health because she is wounded and weak, it's why she's so much slower than the others, has half health, and if you watch she also limps and starts the fight lying on the ground.

[@apex2000]

Toph would rock armour if need. Wears half plate as an adult & as a kid she metal bends a suit that trumps any full plate ever made for coverage.

[@bidoofapostle8910]

@@CommonCensorship what is he coping about? He's not the one who had to do the run with no armor

@@CommonCensorship okay but toph wears actual armor in the show is the point. Guts doesn't use a moonveil in the Manga so it's entirely different

[@ElEze3941]

I love to see how much you have gotten better at the game

[@samusteger7415]

An unreasonable armor upgrade could have been something full mental, since in the last episode of AITA she literally covered herself in zeppelin parts made from iron to counter firebenders. This could save the build from dropping off.

[@phobia_master-lord_of_early]

Earthbending is the best and most powerful bending style ever imo, so I definitely like seeing it in elden ring, imagine if there were more earth incantations, like an aoe attack where multiple spikes come from the ground, or like a buf that turns you into stone, that increases you're vigor and defence but also increases your equipment load, it's just a few ideas I had

[@corpsie1241]

Earth bending ain’t better than air or water with air u could tech take the enemy’s oxygen n with water u have blood bending n u could tech drown ppl with their own liquids inside their body but I do like earth bending

[@phobia_master-lord_of_early]

@@corpsie1241 tbh I'm just kinda biased when it comes down to what bending is better, I just like the idea of throwing rocks at peaple and calling it earthbending, its just an advanced version of return to monke

[@paydie1206]

I've had this idea for such a while. it's a disappointment that you didn't use more of Gurranqs spells.

[@octagon8769]

I did a similar build doing bolin by doing int/faith with the magma sorceries, beast incants, and spiked caestus. I planned to get the fire monk ashes but never got around to it. I didn't know about cragblade and tried to mainly use spells which resulted in frustration at the later bosses, a respec into zuko using faith and dual omen cleavers, then a respec into azula using only fire. I still couldn't get past fire giant on that run and I don't know why (even using the same things you did in the video). regardless, it was fun to limit myself for roleplay and it's cool to see you do a similar build.

[@redwitchlizzy]

This series is actually really fun. I can't wait to see what you do next.

[@soulsofwar8985]

I personally thing Radagon and Elden Beast are both good bosses... On their own, being forced to fight them back to back with no way to recover your flasks or anything is BS, but if they were able to be fought seperately I genuinely think they would both be good bosses, especially Radagon, I love that fight

[@CatgirlKiyana]

elden beast is a boring, uneventful chasedown with lame attacks. even if a boss is bad it could still be fun or at least unique in some way like radahn for example; but elden beast is both awful and boring. it’s a shame how radagon is actually a great boss and could be a perfect ending just as is and instead you get elden best

[@soulsofwar8985]

@@CatgirlKiyana Radagon is easily the better boss and one of the best bosses in the game if he were by himself and weren't as weak as he was (like they'd have to up his HP since it is meant to be the first of two phases and would be nice to get more moves too). But I think if you had Torrent and Elden Beast was by himself I think it would be a good fight, I like the Elden Beast fight on playthroughs that Radagon doesn't destroy me first lol

[@CatgirlKiyana]

@@soulsofwar8985 i think radagon being weak would be great symbolism for the end of his era. he’s the last that there is standing between you and a new age, a simple desperate obstacle trying to keep order where there is none; endlessly enslaved to a cause that’s long gone

[@toastmaster914]

Double radagons health, half elden beasts

[@WhItErIcEgRoNsKeR]

Loving this series so much, keep up the good work! After I beat the game with my original character, this series inspired me to make my next one Sora from Kingdom Hearts and the playthrough is wild and so different from my last build

[@nathanielsearle9822]

That sounds like an interesting idea. How did you go about building that?

[@WhItErIcEgRoNsKeR]

@@nathanielsearle9822 So far, it's a mostly Faith build with a bit of Int, Vigor, and Mind. I'm collecting the spells from KH1, so Fire, Cure, Thunder, Blizzard, Gravity and Aero (Stop doesn't work) and using the Sword of Night and Fire for now (prob switch to the Golden Epitaph later). It's a rough draft that's become more magic the more I play; I'm fighting to keep the weapon damage relevant against bosses

[@cheeburger7789]

Should’ve grabbed twinblade talisman. Functionally just a damage boost for fist weapons.

[@zachwright7374]

I know it’s late af but twin blade talismans massive 45% damage increase kicks in at the very last hit in a r1 (or L1 if power standing weapon) chain of attacks fist weapons have 10 hits in their r1 “chain” meaning twin blade talisman is the literal last thing you want to put on if you’re using fist weapon colossal weapons being the best

[@zachwright7374]

[@prototype3779]

The godskin noble's rolling attack can be easily avoid with atleast 21 endurance and continuously running to the right. Seriously, just hold right and run. He will never hit you. And seeing how the apostle goes into a sort of passive state once the noble enter his second phase, you don't have to worry about the apostle randomly cutting you into ribbons.

[@writer5790]

My main issue with the move is the asthetic. It looks stupid and feels stupid to fight.

[@theenbee8222]

The altered Depraved Perfumer's Chestpiece honestly reminds me of the leather armor from the Dark Souls games; somewhat similar appearance in my opinion Also saying they resurrected Ozai and stretched him out a lot made me think of a meme that just says "Wide Ozai" lmao
