Elden Ring - Gehrman, the First Hunter vs Malenia - NG+7 (No Damage)

Tonight, Gehrman joins the hunt...
Journey 8 (NG+7)
Level 120
Build/Stats at 7:40
Bloodborne OST - Gehrman, the First Hunter (in-game version)
Played on PS5! Gehrman’s grunts are edited in, no mods.
Using Nyaha's waterfowl dodge technique: • It's possible to flawl...
This player paved the way for dodging waterfowl without the use of bloodhound step and has found the most consistent technique. Inspiring stuff.

The most impressive part of this showcase is undoubtedly the incorporation of backsteps into some of your dodge methods. I haven’t seen a single person use them, whether it be through normal gameplay or even for theatrics like this. Kudos my man. 👍

[@bayabooz4855]

They’re really useful, especially if your weapon is a slash type sometimes the stepback attack or crouch attack (they do the same attack) you do a thrust attack on some weapons which is kinda good and saved my ass countless times, I’m really surprised that you barely see that lol

[@Grylken1569]

@@bayabooz4855 I'm not saying backstepping is a hidden gem that I'm shocked nobody uses, I'm saying that I'm impressed by OP for incorporating a clunky and nonviable tech into a video because it looks good. Backsteps are just bad, period. Ofc there are very niche uses such as canceling charged attacks on a very limited set of weapons, but they demand you stop all input on your joystick, only to travel less distance than a roll and have no s doing it. They interfere with normal gameplay far too much and give nothing in return.

@@PEEK-A-BOO101 do you run under or behind her so she misses?

[@MissPoplarLeaf]

@@PEEK-A-BOO101 I've seen other players dodge it the same way that this person did it. It seems that the attack tracks the direction you're moving and locks on to a spot slightly in front of where you're walking, which is probably why you felt like it always tracked you really well. However, once the attack is locked to that position, you're free to turn around and move away, and it won't track you anymore. So as long as you know the timing on when it locks and then walk in the opposite direction, you can easily get out of its range. Check out the videos by Ongbal and Let Me Solo Her, they do it pretty much the same way. She readies the attack, they walk a bit in one direction, then change direction right before she starts her descent.

Bro what? I love BB but some of yall really have rose tinted glasses when it comes to BB. Next you'll all be saying BB has a wider array of builds and the best PVP next. The changeable weapon arts alone can make the same weapon feel completely different in ER and I'm not even going to get into the unique weapons, the differences in spears, dual blades, Colossals, Katanas and dual wielding etc etc How can somebody go from using greatshields that have attacks themselves with a spear in the other hand so they can poke from behind it to using dual daggers with bloodhound step or even Reduvia weapon art to using bloodhound fang or dual Katanas with ROB or waterfowl and think "wow these all feel kinda the same". Like what were you people doing in ER? Using the claymore with no weapon art and a medium shield the entire game or what?

@@Beyondqqq haha burial blade go *swoosh*

[@Bennieboy918]

@@Beyondqqq weapon arts are just special attacks though, and most weapons can share weapon arts only making like 40 weapons unique which still share basic movesets as opposed to bloodborne where every single weapon had 2 different movesets

I guess Gerhman was actually Let Me Solo Her all along

We are born of the blood, made men by the blood, and undone by the blood... Our eyes are yet to open.

[@Akario3]

i expected bloodhound step....but this...does bring a smile to my face (also holly hell, you were not even fast rolling...absurdly good timing)

[@ericg8086]

Tonight Gehrman joins the hunt!

[@antarcticaresearchprogram8349]

The addition of the music and sound effects are S-Tier. Absolutely amazing job.

[@ReaverTheSurvivalist]

2:50 - 3:04 is beautiful from an audio visual standpoint. The music and how hopeful it sounds, both illustrates Malenia’s struggle to defend her brother, and Gerhman’s (while still having no hesitation) doubts about all of this. Probably thinking about how pointless the whole fight is, and realizing there is an outer god watching and laughing. Like he could have known her in a past life as a friend, but it’s just how things work. The way the hopeful music cuts off too, gorgeous timing

[@Celestial2107]

"may you witness true horror" Gehrman: little girl...I've seen worse.

[@bachhoangson]

I forgot how glorious Gherman's theme be. Thank you man

[@GGMK2002]

"Dear, oh, dear, what was it? The hunt, the blood, or the horrible dream? Oh, it doesn't matter. It always comes down to the hunters' helper to clean up after these sorts of messes. Tonight, Gehrman joins the hunt."

[@Cbakezz]

Amazing as always, well done.

[@lokithesavior126]

I'd like to think Gehrman's little teabag dance at the end was something he learned from the younger hunters, and he started crouch walking at the end because he cramped up his old legs.

[@andrewevans3913]

We can clearly see which one has the better cutscene and lines here.

[@Lucifer_334]

Melania: I have never known defeat German: Dear, oh dear. What was it? The Hunt? The Blood? Or the horrible dream? Oh, it doesn't matter... It always comes down to the Hunter's helper to clean up after these sort of messes. Tonight, Gehrman joins the hunt...

[@jsj0520]

the addes SFX of Gehrman's voice gives this video that extra tick of perfection.

[@saroopss]

your camera control is amazing, every game i see you have the spatial awareness down, and i see your doing the turn around to face your back to enemy like kratos does to the valkryie to avoid that specific spell. love watching your videos. your ellie from last of us 2 is hands down, soo aggresive. just wondering if you ever played uncharted.

[@SmvR]

Wow, thanks for the ongoing support. Haven’t played uncharted but heard it’s amazing

[@saroopss]

@@SmvR it is amazing. When it comes out on pc. Hope you get it. We would all love to see you play that.

[@kairos__]

This was amazing. Insane gameplay

[@ThePunisher-mg5cy]

you sir, are a god. the cosplay,music,editing...lvl 120, no cheese, absolute perfection.💀

[@thanquolrattenherz9665]

she has never known defeat on a technicality, but more importantly she has never known gherman which made the first possible. some may call this video gaming i call it art that is really an impressive skilllevel you reached there.

[@NewCaprica35]

An incredible video! I had goosebumps all along!

[@pekachu1082]

I'm fucking sure this is how Gehrman used to fight in his prime

[@kronoscatawana1740]

Got his voice and some of his action grunts too. Love it.

[@stech392]

This video was so cool I decided to beat her with a scythe and crossbow. Took me so many attemps but I finally got it thanks to you. I learned all the dodge timings from you and yea very inspring video

[@Sussybakiboi]

This Has to be your best video of course all of them are perfect but this is a work of art. Can't wait for you destroying Asgard in GoW Ragnarok

[@Twilightiger96]

*Sees Melania's Second Phase* Gehrman: Poor girl... I shall show you mercy.

[@executioner_ecgbert884]

The nostalgia almost made me cry 😭 youre such a legend

[@aegis6485]

God, the *goosebumps* when the chorus kicked on Malenia's second phase is just pure perfection in every sense.

[@kawatika]

Anyone can eventually master a boss, but the art of mixing skill with stylish edits like this is rare. Simply sublime.

[@raw-zzil]

Tonight. Gehrman joins the hunt… SO FREAKING COLD 🥶. Man i got some next level goosebumps 💀

[@akillgore4229]

The back step spacing to imitate the dodge mechanic is a nice touch

[@Elysia2EGO]

This video was amazing, the cosplay, the Gehrman voice editing and how well you know the fight is so perfect, thank you for this masterpiece!

[@deinemutter4555]

That Bloom cinematic with the musical timing. Just beautiful:)

[@Kinography]

I know this is a hitless run but activating Malenia’s great rune basically gives you the Bloodborne healing mechanic. Also giving him Caestus as a secondary with Lifesteal Fist to simulate a visceral would be cool

[@alexandremacena5489]

"you will witness true horror" "oh my, oh my, you wouldn't believe..."

[@patigelstarberry4302]

Everybody laughs until Gehrman regrows his leg.
