Wow. To think that a normal nobody from Oolacile (Halflight is probably from Oolacile, since both his bow and his armor heavily mention “golden sorcery/magic”, which was the thing Oolacile was known for) could take on all but the strongest (Yhorm, Gael, Midir, Friede).

[@rudestdudest826]

They gave halflight huge damage, and I'm pretty sure I saw him standing there trading hits with the other bosses

[@azurebookllet9216]

Wasn't one explanation for why the bosses are large even when they were clearly humans in their past (i.e. every other boss in DS2) because the power of the souls they consumed magnified their size after they lost control of it? (Same reason why Gael is only large after he turned into a boss.) If so, Halflight, Guardians and Gravetender have the power of souls but also retained purpose to avoid them losing control. (This makes Watchers weird, but just assume their linked soul counters that.)

[@Alias0225]

And people don’t believe me when I say this was the hardest boss for my broken sword run

Halflight dodging demon princes laser beam like a pro

[@thaias9654]

Maybe if they summoned Patches, they would’ve made it.

[@azurebookllet9216]

RIP Miura. So, here's a thought. I know that everyone knows Gael is DS3's version of Guts, just like how Artorias was one in the original. But could Halflight have been intended as a reference to Griffith, since we know Gwyndolin was an explicit reference in DS1? Granted, his hair is dark instead of blonde, but at least it's equally long and he uses a sword much like Griffith's, instead of being an archer-mage-teleporter like Gwyndolin.

[@RedBullGyarados2183]

I don't think he is though, Griffith didn't use a Katana, he used something more think Follower Sabre or Scimitar.

[@umukzusgelos4834]

[@azurebookllet9216]

Just started watching. Really like how both parts of the video start with Gundyr! EDIT: Big F for everyone who thought/hoped Champion would win. At least he lasted about three times longer than he did vs. Albert, Kamui and Kriemhild. EDIT2: Halflight trying to shoot his bow at point-blank in 2:15 may be the first instance outside of Yhorm fight where his AI looks genuinely dumb. EDIT3: Massive save from the other Guardian at 2:40, followed by a brutal combo from Halflight at 2:45 Respect for taking out about a fifth of Armour's HP this quickly. EDIT4: OK, the first Guardian running up to Lorian was the other really dumb move. I guess she had no way to know his teleport does not work, and it might have made more sense if it did, but still. Halflight not shooting his bow until the end, yet immediately trying to use it against the much more mobile Armour was similarly inexplicable. Those missplays almost looked like they would cost them, but the Guardians Gwyn chose for the first Firekeeper, and the Oolacile missionary they chose in turn are made of sterner stuff than a crippled demonslayer. EDIT5: So, Halflight should have been chosen to link the Flame all along? EDIT6: At 7:00, he riposted Nameless King! I do not think any character has done this before! And another big F to those who thought Nameless King would win, which is...everyone, I guess? Spear of the Church just does not care for your wishes! EDIT7: 8:24 - 8:35 is genuinely wallpaper-worthy. Possibly the coolest way to go in this series. EDIT8: And then the other Guardian proceeded to avenge the first through keeping Halflight alive for the entire battle. Teamwork really is dreamwork. EDIT9: So, the best way to defeat warrior nuns and missionary is with another warrior nun? Congratulations to Blackflame Friede for doing what Soul of Cinder, Nameless King and the rest failed. And congratulations to Filianore's defenders for performing far beyond the expectations and upsetting so many vastly more popular bosses! CONCLUDING EDIT: Just realized Blackflame Friede didn't just win, but she sustained way less damage than Gael (in an earlier vid), in spite of a smaller healthbar! kzbin.info/www/bejne/h5K9o4WHicyAjbM Love these "team vs. boss" battles, with all the interactions they have! Hope we'll finally see the trio of Ascended Winged Knights, or Alva + Creighton, or Rosaria's Fingers, in the future gauntlets sometime soon!

as the battles showed, halflight had issues with aggressive bosses, even worse being fast ones, I sat there and was thinking that if they had friede then halflight was fucked, and friede slammed halflight so XD

[@alchemy5750]

If Halflight gets to keep those 2 lame-looking healer things, Lorian also deserves to have his dear brother sitting on his back.

[@watchfulwanderer6443]

once again, halflight shows that he is only considered weak in the ringed city. halflight is powerful, and has good ai. combine that with the fact that bosses are less than effective when facing multiple opponents, and you have a recipe for a deceptively powerful opponent. there's a reason why halflight is the one summoned by judicator argo, why halflight is still alive when most of the world is dead, why halflight is the last line of defense for princess filianore. it's because halflight and his crew are badasses. players don't beat halflight because we are stronger, we beat halflight because we are smarter. and the bosses aren't smarter. the only way that bosses can beat halflight is if they are both stronger, and aggressive enough to stop him from healing.

Unkindled are past individuals who tried to link the First Flame and become Lords of Cinder, but were too weak to do so and were burnt to ashes." I was wrong about the bosses part though, the 4 lords of cinder were only brought back to life in response to Lothric refusing to link the flame, so Friede didn't have to fight them.

[@azurebookllet9216]

@@Spenfinite See, I saw that, and it doesn't ever say they have beaten Soul of Cinder first. It can just as easily work like this. "Too weak to link the flame" = Too weak to overcome Soul of Cinder "Were burnt to ashes" - by the Soul of Cinder. I still think that makes far more sense.
