Fromsoft's BEST Dragon Boss EVER? - Elden Ring BLIND

[@fumeknightofshovelry3901]

15:10 So you were facing away, but during this attack Placidusax summons a giant bolt of coiled lightning, slams it down, and then crushes it: while he does so, the music stops and time freezes. It's awesome. He did it again at 18:15, and also did it first right on your first death

[@MrAndersonLP]

Yeah I noticed the music transitions during editing, very cool.

*"A worthy Victory!"* - Dragonlord Placidusax to The Tarnished

[@ianfant8065]

I think you've successfully eradicated dragons now ^^'

[@fumeknightofshovelry3901]

"Nelly" in "not on your nelly" comes from "nelly duff" which is Cockney rhyming slang for "puff" in the context of "breath of life". So, "not on your nelly" means "not on your life."

[@mad_skittles87]

I love when the music stops as it’s charging up a huge explosion

[@ShadyLurk3r92]

Nicely done! One of my favorite boss fights in Elden Ring, feels epic once you've learned the moveset and know what to do.

[@RonnyD1337]

I had the same exact Monster Hunter-y thought as soon as I picked up the Drake Knight set.

[@trimagnus]

That boss was really cool! Thanks once again for having the mental fortitude required to get this far. I live vicariously through you.

[@Ervtard]

Btw, thats not him anywhere near full strength. When you find him he has 2 heads left but originally had 5

[@MrAndersonLP]

Yeah I'm hoping part of the inevitable DLC will be a "Placidusax Prime" boss fight. Considering we rewind time to fight him anyway it seems entirely plausible lore-wise.

[@Ervtard]

@@MrAndersonLP That would definitly be in the veins of traditional fromsoft DLCs heh. They do like to go back in time *cough Oolacil

[@Dr.Octavius]

Great victory! That slow-mo dodge at the end, though! The suspense!

[@ivanstrydom8417]

You have rather good humour. Tis appreciated.

[@mad_skittles87]

The boss was tough at first for me until I figured out his moves lol. Basically had 8 flasks left by the time I finished him but still it took me about 6 tries lol

[@neiljoysey2844]

Fromsoft have had some jank boss fights but they've really figured dragons out!!

[@Al-ji4gd]

Lol what? Dragons are the most jank. The camera is almost always terrible, too.

[@nunuonroad9969]

I just wish they put more effort into Fortissax. I'm on NG+2 and I hit him with a single Ranni Dark Moon and took out 1/5 of his health. No farming, just regular progression. Also wish he had more unique attacks.

[@meepsheep4259]

Really cool fight

[@lunk-]

Told ya it was an awesome dragon. The berserk lasers sucked ass but cool as hell. Congrats on slaying it!

[@xuantang6079]

Epic boss fight

[@fumeknightofshovelry3901]

Gratz!

[@n8doggy733]

Midir is still the best dragon fight they have made

[@Tau_Aquila]

I havent seen the video yet but no, Dragonlord is not the best dragon boss so far. That title belongs firmly to the Darkeater

[@MrAndersonLP]

I agree, actually, but I think it's close

[@chrisarbour]

You put wayyyyyy too many points into Vigor and like none into your Mind. 50 is more than enough. Especially if you have 60 points into faith. If you're using Blasphemous Blade you should put some points into strength to increase the damage it does. Put mind at like 35 at least if you're focusing on using incantations which your stat spread suggests. Waves of Darkness also scales off of Int not faith so that's a total waste. Genuinely trying to help you out.

[@MrAndersonLP]

With great power...comes great responsibility

[@Herrezzi]

Placidusax is nowhere near the best Fromsoft dragon boss. Midir is tens of times better. Placidusax is a great spectacle. But honestly kinda boring. He’s so slow and everything he does is so well telegraphed

[@MrAndersonLP]

I also prefer Midir, but I do think this is close. Nowhere near as hard I agree, but I generally think as long as a boss isn't easy it doesn't bring down the overall quality, not everything needs to be balls hard.

[@Herrezzi]

@@MrAndersonLP yeah I agree, Placidusax isn’t bad, and he’s definitely better than Sinh or some other dragon fights

[@Herrezzi]

And I’m not saying Placidusax is easy, but him being slow makes his moves less fun and satisfying to dodge

[@saula8948]

Best dragon boss ever ? No chance , Midir is much better and so is Kalameet .

[@zerkexsig.4711]

Worst*

[@Tau_Aquila]

nah definitely not you've clearly never played any of the other fromsoft games lmao

[@wreckyoualways]

it's a video game, shut up XD

[@MrAndersonLP]

What?

[@trimagnus]

@@MrAndersonLP I think he is replying to your question about the lore implications of the reverse time thing. (That whole sentence just sounds weird...)

[@MrAndersonLP]

@@trimagnus ah yes, that's the problem with recording something 2 weeks ago, I tend to forget everything I said
