I wish there was a Serpent Lord ending, where you consume a piece of the god devouring serpent, and then consume Marika at the end

[@Henbot]

To be fair the bosses are all dumb in the intelligence department, if they were actually real versions they would know how to dodge and evade as well as just use their most powerful attacks which would flatten him

You can't appreciate how strong rykard is until you see this

[@watchfulwanderer6443]

This is what Rykard is built to do. He literally designed himself from the ground up to be a big scary monster that can eat other big scary monsters. He's rather less effective against beings capable of dodging.

[@camel521]

then loses to a guy with a big spear

[@corvo2913]

he's a gimick boss of course he will slap cheeks with bosses that can't use the spear

[@wr5488]

He's so fun to fight without the spear! One of my favorite fights.

[@dja3456]

Rykard is powerful he took the blame for trying to end the outer gods and he most likely fought Margot,Malenia,and Godrick army's

[@garrettfricke4076]

Damn he really can devour the gods?!

[@efaristi9737]

i wouldn't put it as outside of his capacities considering he's not dead even if you kill him.

[@isaidarkmoon6434]

If Rykard wasn’t so obsessed with getting continually stronger and actually used the strength he’s already accumulated by this point he probably would have been able to succeed in his goal

[@goddoda412]

@@isaidarkmoon6434 not really in the lore the reason each demi god does not attack each other is because they are to scared so the land stayed in a calm state

[@watchfulwanderer6443]

@@isaidarkmoon6434 Depends on who he decided to fight. If he attacks Raya Lucaria, I'd imagine he'd struggle quite a bit against the range advantage. If he went after Caelid or the Haligtree, he'd rot away like anyone else. I'm not sure he'd even by able to traverse the mountaintops of giants, and the Fire Giant is very durable. Even if he went after the Erdtree, he'd either have to fight his way through Leyndell, or get past Gideon, Godfrey, and Radagon before facing the Elden Beast, and he'd have to do this alone, since he would kill Volcano Manor first. Even without the knock-on effects of the Shattering restarting, he'd be facing a hell of a lot of opposition, and I don't think he has the staying power. If we do consider what the other demigods would do, it looks even more grim, since none of them want to be eaten.

[@isaidarkmoon6434]

@@goddoda412 that’s the thing though. He didn’t because he was scared, not because he lacked power. If you fight Rykard without the gimmick spear, he’s insanely durable. And that’s what the rest of the world would be dealing with since they don’t have access to it. Rykard has eaten countless tarnished that were at or around our strength level. I’m not saying it would be easy for him either, but you can’t deny that he has the potential to kill gods either.

[@Sound_Reaver]

Rykard's appetite precedes him as always...I don't want to imagine what we'd actually have to face if he canonically ate Astel.

[@meandyours]

Eleden Beast and Astel's aim seems to get wonky after entering Rykard's second phase

[@adherentoftheoceangoddess5496]

It has something to do with invisibility mod. I turned invisibility on to prevent my character being targeted. With invisibility on, Elden beast and Astel kind has some aiming issue until being hit (lava dmg doesn't count), and Rykard would stay idle until being hit first.

[@Corvus460]

Rykard: Join the Serpent King, as family. Together we will devour the very Gods. Elden Beast: Idiot, I am the God. Rykard: Hmmmm, very well.

[@reregfys7169]

3:43 how the fuck did he miss everything with that meteor attack on such big target! 😆

[@pietro6032]

6:41 the Elden Beast aiming for the head in the last swing, so cool. It was like he saw the throat exposed and tried to finish the battle right there.

[@enderking6904]

Shame he aimed for the wrong head

[@umukzusgelos4834]

When the Serpent head hangs down like that it almost looks like Rykard is wearing a Pyjama cap on his head

[@واحد-م1ذ]

8:04 Was just beautiful Especially with the arena and music

[@ultradius7]

If rykard devours a god, I imagine that he would assimilate the powers of said god but also, would he change form? that is to say, its appearance would suffer alterations for each devoured god? I think so.

[@grug2759]

Let’s say he are astel for an example I think he have asters body parts poking out like all the hands and bodies so really he just grows in size

[@dominic3215]

@@grug2759 he will become a snake with the same body as astel i guess (like how astel has like combined planets for a body)

[@telvanniis]

If Rykard devoured Astel, he'd probably grow wings and gain some gravitational powers - if Rykard devoured the Elden Beast he would become a god and devour the world, and devouring the elden beast would give him the powers of the elden ring.

This shows how meteorite of astel needs some work on the aim. Maybe make the meteorites have a smaller range sideways or give them a better track in exchange for some damage.

I like the ideia of not showing HP bar or HUD at all. That way it's a surprise when one of them loses. I think getting closer to the battle is cool too, because it gives the impression of two titans fighting.

[@shaunconnally4794]

That first fight was majestic as hell meteors flying everywhere, a giant snake vs a giant centipede, now this is what I'm talking about

[@leonesenpai]

Notice how the end game boss can't beat a optional boss which goes to show you we the players do more dmg than the bosses and that by default we take more damage 😂 So we're stronger than the endgame boss if you think about it. And of course they'd win a 2v1 they couldn't win without teaming.

[@ewutermohlen]

Well radagon and Elden beast are actually one boss together. But yeah rykard is damn tanky.

[@nicholascole9673]

The dmg is the same, bosses have different resistances sure but we can also manipulate our resistance. We don't take more damage we just don't have nearly as much health.

[@Grunk369]

Tbf the player also had the serpent slaying spear which does way more damage to him than regular attacks

[@Asphyx12]

Nah rykard is just a gimmick boss

[@sarcasmgod8430]

@@vanjaarsic1616 I don't think people would prefer a gimic boss for the last fight of the series. all of the other games built up to this magnum opus, and if it was a gimic boss, most would hate it. i think moonlight is the only weapon that would make sense since it was in so many of their games, and double damage isn't too strong, but strong enough on a weapon that already does high damage, that people would usually choose it if they keep losing. and it incentives them to look for the moonlight if they hadn't.

Second phases are op

[@colorgreen8728]

Rykard barely held on at that second round

[@Henbot]

It makes more sense doing 2 on 1 because Rykard literally has a second life that makes him pretty much always going to be a 1 on 1 boss. I also find it interesting how much damage you can see attacks do, like Astel tail does so much damage and the asteroid barrage - if Astel and Elden Beast just did their heavy attacks pretty much all the time they would flatten both lives of Rykard. It also can see how important the AI to dodge or evade is because in a real fight they would be smart as a player and dodge attacks. It does look visually epic and kinda cool seeing the lore at play, but the bosses are really stupid compared to how they would be and that magma pool really makes it hard to fight Rykard without range with the continuous damage that staggers and the dumb AI for the bosses just keep wandering into the lava and doesnt evade.

This seems very buggy... Too buggy for it to be accurate. Rykard keeps taking hits to his body, but only when his head is hit, does he take any real damage. Astel also seems to miss quite a bit considering Rykard doesn't try to dodge-- I question where the AI is aiming.
