Highest to Lowest Rune Bosses ONLY Reverse Run in Elden Ring

If Elden Ring is an open world game, then you should be able to defeat bosses in any order, right? Today we test this, and beat the bosses out of order! Check out this top to bottom build using The Greatstars, Flame Grant Me Strength, and the Redmane Knight Ogha Ashes to traverse in reverse the lands between!

To be fair about Greyoll, she's meant to be a boss where you fight multiple weakened dragons at once. And she was given so much health to avoid cheesing her. But percentage damage and the perfect spots to stand kinda made her a joke very quickly.

9:00 Small lore pet peeve, you don't give Varre your finger. He just injects it with some of Mohg's accursed blood and it goes numb forever.

I died to that lame attack once as a Furled Finger (tried to run the cave full of enemies because the Host had already started the fight when I was summoned). So embrassing

[@JadedJasantha]

There is another.

[@CountryMusicMann]

That attack can actually do some fairly serious damage. I died to it one time after making it through both Godskins and thinking I was home free.

[@Idea_of_Lustre]

26:23 I don’t think it’s been done on this boss, but it’s actually a pretty well known glitch. Boss AI is tied to the Boss’ fog door, the animation of you walking through is what triggers it. Watching the VOD, the fog wall animation overlapped with an attack from behind by a skeleton. When this happens the game gets confused, and doesn’t activate the Boss AI. The Godskin Noble in Volcano Manor has been cheesed this way by entering the fog wall from a specific range, and the Nox duo in Sellia can be cheesed by jumping down into the arena from above rather than entering through the fog gate. Their AI doesn’t activate, and they just kind of stand there until they die.

[@tobin1677]

That was basically how the old Mohg AI break worked as well right? Sneak in through non-standard ways and AI doesn't start

[@Idea_of_Lustre]

@@tobin1677 I believe that was done by using the Mohg Shackle right outside of the fog door, but I don’t know what exactly the details were.

Pro tip for fighting the Deathbirds: get the Golden Epitaph from Auriza Hero's Grave, locked behind the Stonesword Key door next to the grace. The Ash of War lasts 60 seconds and gives you a massive buff against Undead type enemies, like Deathbirds. Works best if you stack it with other things that increase your holy damage, like Sacred Scorpion and (doesn't apply to this run) the Holy cracked tear.

[@murphieslaw6932]

Also, I am surprised myself, try block counters and straight sword´s square off (R2) to do insane stance damage and hit their heads. I struggled against them, then my sword n´ board run made a joke out of the fight, constant crits. Or try slapping on a holy affinity, preferably the holy slash version. More easy headshots and a nice weapon buff. Deathbirds must not be cancer - if you come prepared !

[@paulsilagi4783]

Also, just throw holy water pots at them, combined with the Golden Epithaph buff and a few more easy things (faith and holy tears, holy scorpion) they kill those things in a few hits, even without any stat investments, and they're really easy to make.

[@lucasmueller5038]

doesnt need to be golden epitath exactly the sacred blade weapon art also applies the buff to the sword and for some reason most of order incants and active sources of holy damage get a 900% (or something close to that) damage increase to undead enemies so you can hit 4 digit damage with it. do note its not the innate holy damage its the buff the ash of war itself gives that is so incredibly nuts against undead enemies. fextra life claims its 100% more damage its lying I shouldnt hit 4 digits with a +6 axe against a deathrite bird. also the ash of war is found in limgrave in the water north of where you find the physic flask which is perfect cause you can get it for the deathbird in limgraven and the weaping peninsula.

[@funkymachine]

Holy pots are more universal, 400% damage, -40% holy resist, double damage on head, even with 6 fth they crack skulls. Also sold from the first merchant, less out of way and no stat requirements.

The Crucible Knight Misbegotten Duo is actually really interesting lorewise. See, misbegotten are inherently tied to the crucible, the primordial font of life -- it's why they're so chimeric -- and the Crucible knights harness that crucible. In fact, every enemy tied to the crucible that embraces that connection has a shared diving attack. First the Winged Misbegotten, then the Crucible Knights, and then Mohg Lord of Blood.
