Elden Ring : 7 Rare Bosses Attacks ( Kind of)

[@leo-shun]

Lion's attack should be scripted to come out in every fight. Fire Giant's should just stay rare.

[@JoseViktor4099]

Imagine how funny It would be to discover Fire Giant attack first time on a RL1 run after 5 minutes of fight.

[@sneaselman2156]

Super rare enemy attack i found when i was in stormveil , if you character is at the height of the troll head he can do a rare bite attack

[@lmtalpha6382]

How would you even get at the height of his head in the first place? Edit: I actually found a way and saw the attack, at the Gatefront grace there is a troll that drops down on you when you pass through to go to Stormveil. If you come back there from behind you'll find the troll sitting on a ruin above the valley. On the way to the Evergaol with the Crucible Knight there is a drop that's the perfect height to his head.

[@blackeddeath]

That is actually insane lol

[@DuncanMaisonneuve-kk3vf]

That Gaius attack was actually really cool.

[@bananacorn4375]

Black knife assassin in capital outskirts has special black flame move when you are on horseback. Gideon can attack with his mace if you are close instead of switching to his spells.

[@TheManDude]

Fun fact: Gideon doesn’t use a staff: he just has a Hammer which can also use spells!

[@cothrone3651]

@@TheManDudewhich begs the question. Why couldn’t this be a hammer we could cast spells with? Or maybe a catalyst that could cast both spell types, like the staff of the great beyond

[@Pofr557]

@@cothrone3651he actually switches to a staff every time he casts a spell its just hard to see

[@mustard639]

@@cothrone3651he is so smart he doesn’t need a catalyst

[@unuseableb]

Yeah its a super fast and long range version of the blade of death. Once they knock you off their horse with it they can also riposte you when youre laying on the ground

[@cowhale2488]

The Dancing Lion, Fire Giant, Messmer, Dragonkin Soldier attacks are very common. Placi's bite is somewhat rarer but still saw it a lot. Gaius and Margit surprised me. Didn't saw any of those before. A rare regular enemy attack pattern is for the full bloom guardians in Capital Outskirts and Leyndell. They can transform when damaged but most people kill them way before they can do anything. Crazy thing is that they even have a grab attack

[@strannyi_chelovek]

If you fight black knife assasin on Torrent (the one near hero's grave in Altus Plateau), she will try to snipe you with her ranged attack. If it connects, you'll get knocked off the horse and she can do a crit attack afterwards. Margit has one rare attack when he raises the stick above his head and waits a few seconds if you just circle around him. Black blade kindred can do a roar like a troll if you run away from him. Unrelated thing: Malenia will NOT do her clone attack if you pressure her constantly. Also, did you know, giant squids can swallow you? They have an incredibly rare grab attack that almost never happens, but if it somehow kills you, squid swallows you whole. I'm one of the very few idiots who have seen it not on KZbin.

[@lmtalpha6382]

There are a couple enemies that have a critical attack when you're knocked off Torrent. So far I've found the Black Knife Assassin you mentioned, Pages, Kaiden Sellswords and Nox Swordstresses.

[@strannyi_chelovek]

@lmtalpha6382 wait what? You can't even ride Torrent while fighting nox. Is it some obscure stuff that can't be found normally in the game like Godskin duo waking each other?

[@lmtalpha6382]

@@strannyi_chelovek Ironically I initially found out through a randomizer but it is possible to fight a Nox Swordstress on horseback, the Nox duo boss fight in Sellia allows Torrent.

[@strannyi_chelovek]

@@lmtalpha6382 interesting, I have also found some interesting stuff through randomizer. Like, tree guardians that can transform their spears into huge maces. Or Miranda flowers that normally appear near liurnian frenzy village can bash their "heads" against the ground if damaged with fire. Or albinauric archers can saddle grey wolves from concecrated snow field even if they weren't riding them initially. Probably something else, but I can't recall everything.

[@boggle4763]

Some more are: godskin apostle screaming to wake up allies and full bloom erdtree guardians 2nd phase grab attack

[@lmtalpha6382]

I've got couple but it's not from bosses it's from regular enemies. - Nox Ant Riders have a really cool move where the rider twirls the sword around like a whip doing a sweeping slash while jumping high into the air before falling down with an even bigger sweeping slash. These enemies are so rare and nobody goes out of their way to fight them so most moves are probably new to some players. The one I described surprised me the most though. - Nox Monks have a couple of rare combos where they transform their hammer into two piercing shields and they have an entire moveset hidden behind this transformation. - The red eyed Banished Knights in Castle Sol have a couple of rare storm attacks that I've only ever seen on videos, no matter how hard I tried to recreate them. The halberd one can do Niall's phase two charging uppercut and the dual sword one has a retreating double slash.

[@SaxSlaveGael]

Only one I have never seen here is Gaius's Attack.

[@lowlypooch4186]

The godskin apostle has this one move where he can wake up nearby godskins currently asleep. But it only works when there's literally no other enemies nearby (you can fight the duo and 99% of the time you missed a few enemies outside and the apostle doesn't use it)

[@Cartoonbrains]

There's also a super rare attack by the snail enemies where they will actually go inside your mouth and kill you instantly. It's probably the most brutal death in the entire game

[@sobky6378]

One rare attack I’ve barely seen is consort Radahn doing a lions claw at melee range in phase 2, he can do lions claws when you’re at a distance but the attack I’m talking about is a short range version

[@flopaflop398]

Morgott's super flurry

[@ricecake3544]

After a spear throw morgott and do a leap and summon another spear to do a dual wield stab on the ground

[@ramen3643]

fighting gaius on horse back is very underrated, it takes alot of skill but it makes the fight so much cooler. it's really cinematic and almost feels like the intended way to fight him, it feels like the only boss in the game that was designed to be fought on horseback, but most people suck at horseback combat so nobody really tries it, his moveset in generally is very different when on horseback.

[@Pofr557]

Kind of weird that the rarest gaius attack is also the only spell that he drops with his remembrence

[@Nazgûl77777-Č̣]

Damn, i never seen playtipus doing that😂

[@LuisSanchez-fj6dt]

Platypus💀

[@dhruvdatta1055]

I see that fire giant attack every time i fight him

[@matteomalerba1952]

Malenia's follow up, 1st phase Starts from medium distance, first an oblique tracking slash (big range, reaches you quickly) and ends with a horizontal slash in front of her (after the first move) 

[@thepainphantom]

Malenia has one. I called it uppercut long range. She will charge her sword backward, giving a red flash then lunge towards you in 1 second fast charge. If you got hit it will knock you up in the air. It's parry-able tho if you're good with timing.

[@carrier2823]

Radahn has a super rare attack where he jumps into the stratosphere and comes meteoring back down. I’ve only seen it once

[@enterusername6953]

Oh! So that's why Gaius drops the Blades of Stone Spell.

[@LibertyForAll-l3q]

Good list i haven't seen any of them other than fire giant and Lions attack.

[@dragonslayer3552]

Some of those I have never seen like the Gaius one "i disliked horse combat ever since the start so yeah" and the Margit guard break "cause even if I use a shield I watch my stamina But then some are just too common like the divine beast will to his super at least 2 times maybe 3 per fight same with messmer and the dragon kin Now if I had to add one would be putrescent Knight's triple hit with delayed last hit followed by him running he has 3 variants of his triple combo each ending in a difference follow up, the one where he delays and runs is by far the rarest but not too crazy rare

[@nacorcarmonablanco4414]

One attack I didnt see until I modded the game and added more hp to bosses is the Elden Beast grab attack. Its an instakill unless you have high holy damage negation, he charges a big golden orb in his left hand and then grabs you, impaling the player with a barrage of golden projectiles

[@general_jellyfish4202]

It's pretty common actually

[@Rettraced4687]

Pretty common

[@UncleCorn]

1000 hours and I’ve never seen those margit guard counter or placidusaxx attacks, crazy stuff

[@abdalla8558]

Not an attack But Radahn can cut his Pontiff attack short, like half of the combo, and transition to double cross

[@Guyy_1]

"rare fire giant attack" meanwhile he did it to me thrice in one fight while i was close range. Hate that guy. Most people don't seem to know about Morgotts desperation combo since they kill him so fast. Not exactly a unique attack but Bayle has a surprising rare combo where he does the "charge" and instead of doing yhe regular tail spin to turn around he does the "jump and then massive tail spin" move immediately after, it creates a weird looking effect of him charging into a wall twice like the schizo he is. Also not a rare attack but I figured this could be interesting for anyone to check out: while I was trying to no hit the consort I died right before he took off to do the meteor move, I'm sure everyone knows that during the move your music gets quieter. Because I died before he ever came down my music was permanently quiet for like 2 hours until I got back to the meteor 😭 interesting bug

[@CMaxoknight31]

The Messmer one idk, he did it quite a few times during my attempts…

[@anonisnoone6125]

I've literally never seen that Margit move. All those videos I've seen of people fighting him and not once has he done that. That Dancing Lion phase change happened to me as well. I really don't like this boss, so when he started spamming phase changes, it made the fight even less fun. I love that Dragonkin fight but I've never seen that nuke either. It's such an underappreciated mini boss.

[@Funt_Bunkledorf]

Placidusax's rock sling attack

[@Mickle-daPickl]

Dude Messmer did that attack every time he began phase 2 for me

[@iamMildlyUpsetWithMostOfYouTub]

Fighting gaius on horseback made him a lot less of a headache Ngl

[@josephbulkin9222]

'majority of players don't use shields' And I took this lie personally.

[@Omega77232]

Elden beast grab attack many people not seen this coz it is a very telegraphed move.

[@Kidna_el_Invicto]

Placidusax's bite have ruined so many No Hit combats to me

[@alloytitanium5972]

Starscourge Radahn does the Consort Radahn's combo after he stomps the ground. Rare because Starscourge almost never finish the full combo that Consort does, instead of light pillar aoe, its the gravity wave that you can jump over

[@tmb379]

I always wondered what the blades of stone spell is based on 😂 . Also idk if this is normal but has anyone else had radagon parry a attack and then switch directly into his grab, like without any delay that the grab normally has ?

[@Bayle-the-Dread-Dragon]

Bayle Fire breath follow up after headbutt

[@SaxSlaveGael]

My Favourite combo I have seen only a handful of times: The Epic AoE slap. Followed up by Godizilla Air Attack Then Followed by Fire Ball circle attack. I finally get why people love Bayle. He has some seriously epic attacks. That AoE slam being probably the most Epic Dragon attack in From history. Yet you can just jump both parts lol.

[@Bayle-the-Dread-Dragon]

@SaxSlaveGael so... The Nuke Godzilla's Atomic Breath The second phase transition attack I prefer Atomic Breath Nuke Batman/Spiderman jump (with wings) Bayle's Tyranny Second phase attack Yes it's happened before

[@SaxSlaveGael]

@Bayle-the-Dread-Dragon Okay that certainly sounds like an epic combo to witness! His phase 2 attacks really are 👌

[@faptimoolactos7423]

Fire giant breath is NOT fuckin rare, bro uses it on me the second I get more than 1 metre away.

[@rival3006]

Recently i fought mesmer and after he was done with his phase transition attack, i hit him and he immedietly went for snake barage Edit: your supposed to attack placidusax's tail? I just walk up to the front of him and attack

[@CaffeineFellow]

0:36 how are you fighting fire giant with a burnt erdtree

[@purehollow]

@@CaffeineFellow revived him with mods

[@Gtenathecat]

margit has a double spinning swipe attack which he did only once to me
