Elden Ring Pro VS Dragonlord Placidusax

Hey Afro if you're still using Godrick's Great Rune, I recommend changing that. The additive properties of it genuinely work like levels, and are applicable to soft caps.

This boss was just so badass 😁 the music, boss moves, visuals and sounds. It was just *chef's kiss*

[@aryankumar7283]

Yeah and his attacks are so easy to dodge when you learn them. Really fun endurance fight, learn to give him space for the W

[@oliverhambleton4337]

The 'OOOf' noise when Afro gets hit and the 'Craaaaam' every dodge are a personal highlight of every video.

[@LoR0451]

Something about hearing NieR's music over Elden Ring makes me really happy... NieR & Automata are up there for me with FromSoft, Team Ico and Kojima Pro titles. So to hear them blended in some way is awesome

i felt a little bit of pain seeing afro one tap that boss because of glitch considering it was one of the hardest bosses in the game for all of us

[@ravensirony8415]

I'd say ur at 92% once you're done with Farum Azula u can fight the final bosses. However I'm sure there's alot of exploring u could still do for example the slim godskin is a boss at the divine tower in caelid also the sewer system under the capital.

[@Astrodox]

He’s done both of those already.

[@ravensirony8415]

@@Astrodox I thought I remembered him doing the tower as for the sewer I think he would've reacted to a boss he definitely fought a little differently if he did.

@@nathancassanova3001 yup, every divine tower besides the one in Liurnia (renalla's rune is just used to respec and is already activated) has some crusty old fingers at the top of them that you can interact with to activate the runes. if you go to your key items in your inventory then scroll down a bit you'll find all the great runes that haven't been activated and their item description tells you which divine tower your need to go to to activate the runes

[@vergiltheartofpower6616]

The reason the Godskins duo died is due to glitch when you killed one you can still proc while death animation is still playing after you proc it, the game completely got confused and it's bouncing back & forth.

That fight was fire, the anime moment of the dragon pulling out all the stops and you surviving to win was amazing.

Bro!!!!! 🙃 You handled this dragon better than I did 😂. It took me at least 15 times. You're legendary and you did it with the whips 🤯

[@broken_pencil5055]

Hey Afro, I just wanted to say that if you have the Black Whetblade key item you can change the scaling on your whips to make bleed build up faster. But it would make your base weapon slightly weaker.

[@notan3144]

The whips have innate bleed, he's made one of his whips occult which means it scales heavily with arcane, meaning the higher his arcane stat is the better the bleed build up, he also preserves raw damage this way too. Since he's in the late game making his whips arcane is better than making them bleed infused because his arcane stat should be high enough to make the innate bleed higher than putting a bleed infusion on the weapon.

[@Zimzky91]

He has it. The problem is he has one occult and one frost and the frost one scales with Intelligence which I don't think he has much of. But the frost proc is worth it.

[@guod5165]

I was hyped to see him go against the Duo, damn patch

Well that’s not really his fault lol 😂, I was fighting one of those deer spirits, the one by Nokron, and I died the first time, then when I was going on the second attempt, I hit it before it teleported, and then it didn’t show up for a while, and then just died. I was a little mad cause I was having fun but I said it’s okay, I have new game plus to fight it again. If it dies by a glitch that sucks but nothing is stopping you from fighting it again at some point properly

[@Tide2375]

Bleed and frost got nerfed, Placidusax is also really resistant so that definitely played a factor. I also recommend Radahn's rune at this point in the game. You'll get a bigger boost in HP, stamina, and fp and Godrick's only gives marginal damage increases

[@CHosey219]

Where in the patch notes did bleed and frost get nerfed? They nerfed swarm of flies yes and they nerfed the ANIMATION of the blood and frost proc but I didn't see anywhere where in general the buildup or damage of bleed and frost got nerfed...

You're in the final zone of the game, though you have a couple more bosses after clearing that.

AFRO, you must WAIT until they patch the game! Some people have been reporting that all multi-phase bosses insta die to status effects like bleed and frost during their phase transition. If you keep on like this, you might lose out on experiencing some of the best boss fights in the game! That would be unfortunate.
