1- enable godmode 2- fight the boss focusing only on dodging for as long as it takes to learn it 3- die 4- repeat the boss fight without the godmode

The regal ancestor spirit annoys me because it feels like half my attacks just miss lmao

Okay, but why were you fighting fire giant with a +0 zweihander and no levelups?

I hate the fire giant because it just drags on. if you don’t have bleed, poison, or rot it just takes fucking forever

That scare is amazing

Frequent ads killing the song examples. Adore the video otherwise mate

7:37 but do you listen to post-hardcore Australian post-melodic pre-thrash blackened doom metal?

the whole positioning thing was taught to me by kingdom hearts 2 where it's pretty obvious and extremely helpful to bait out easily punishable attacks. i remember after playing ds1 for a while realizing that wille glacialy slow it does have plenty of similarities to kingdom hearts of all games

Personally I felt that the bosses were the weakest and most boring part of Elden Ring usually being indifferent to their defeat. But the world and lore I love and conquering areas/dungeons feels awesome except the bosses... It is strange because older titles especially Bloodborne and Sekiro I loved both world and bosses equally so I do think its a change in boss design philosophy that has occurred.

There is a lot of hate for magic in this video. I don't get it. Pure Magic builds takes SO MUCH work to actually make good and even then they're shit compared to an equally levelled melee build since you need to spread your stats 5 ways.

Are you from New Jersey? There's something in the way you say "whore"

absolute cinema

Just finished this boss on rl1 NG+7 flawless (also using a zwei) and god she was annoying. I love her p2 aesthetically but its so aids trying to hitless it. Also lost a p1 attempt to one of the children falling out of the sky directly on top of me and killing me which was both infuriating and funny. I'll check out your radahn vid tomorrow when I get that kill done

The end gave me so much anxiety. Nice victory, great video.

You are peak because death grips + Elden ring praise + Joseph Anderson hate

Genuinely awful game, to all these apologists coming out of the woodwork, you can like it, but it's still shit. It's not an attack on you, it's just a shit game.

An eloquent person explores a topic, presenting well-supported facts and offering insightful perspectives on game design.. both to entertain and to remind viewers that nothing is ever perfect and there’s always room for improvement. They encourage viewers to think critically about what they deserve in a product. In contrast, feeling personally attacked, someone attempts to refute that piece of content. However, rather than contributing anything meaningful, they offer only reactionary criticism. A response from someone who has yet to create anything of real value. And they use this framing to attract viewer's attention.. as they, otherwise, would go unnoticed. A proper critique versus an emotional response.. how childish.

Honestly, I feel like these videos are just made for gamers raging at elden Ring and wanting to have their rage validated. I doubt that guy actually means it.

I’m always surprised when I see people downplay Radahns theme, yes it’s slow, but it perfectly reflects him. It has the loudness and grandness of a fight of his scale, the strange organ/strings that represent the gravity soundscape present in astel and fallingstar beasts. The song also has a lot of strangeness in it, because he’s insane from the rot. And finally, the ending is the best piece of music work fromsoft has done in my opinion, it’s a funeral, you can hear people mourning him, as his corpse is carried down the streets, and it nearly brings me to tears every time. Aside from that minor gripe, S tier video. Also 1:10:28 pop off king

I’ve never understood the sentiment that it’s bullshit to make bosses like Malenia as hard as they are like, bro… She’s an EXTREMELY optional boss that the devs do not expect you to beat in order to finish the game lol You want to fight her for the glory and completion satisfaction, which is understandable, but her purpose is to be a ridiculously hard challenge you can brag about beating lol. She doesn’t even block you from anything, other than her drops of course, there’s not some huge fun area locked behind her that you’re prevented from accessing - if that was the case, or if she was mandatory, I would probably agree that her level of difficulty then is far more unreasonable. You can’t do it, get mad, and then say the whole game is bs for giving you an optional challenge lol I’ve nearly 100% all the FromSoft games because I find that fun, but fuck me if I’m going to do that in a lot of other games - it’s hard and tedious and I don’t personally care to do it. Doesn’t make me less of a “gamer” though, or less of a fan. It’s good to persevere and experiment sure, I think it can be fulfilling and teach you important life lessons, but if you don’t have the time or energy to bother in a game then… don’t If you don’t like fighting her even with summons or shields or whatever then it’s ok to skip her, you don’t HAVE to torture yourself. (Though if playing video games for a living is your fucking job I think you can put a little more effort and thought into it but, whatever)

Another thing as well is that people complain about the delayed attacks because it makes it harder to dodge. Besides the fact this isn't unique to Elden Ring, the prevalence of delayed attacks is actually beneficial for the player as these attacks allow you to get more hits and even a charged attack. Simply standing there isn't the correct option. Also, one thing I noticed that annoys me is the lack of using guard counters. People don't realise how downright useful this mechanic is for most bosses in the game and instead just play like it's Bloodborne or Dark Souls 3

Elden Ring is my favorite FromSoft game but DS2 was my favorite from the Dark Souls trilogy mainly because of the bosses. I've always been a sucker for cool looking suits of armor and helmets/masks, I absolutely loved Fume Knight, Alonne, Ivory King, Looking Glass Knight, Velstadt, Mytha, Lost Sinner, and Vendrick to name some off the top of my head. Also Vendrick, Aldia, and Emerald Herald are very cool story/lose wise. I know DS2 can be a janky mess but I feel myself being called back to replay it on new characters more than DS1 and DS3. Still love em all tho to be fair

I could do without the misogynistic language while fighting Melania. "Heated gamer moment" makes that come out? Why was that on the tip of your tongue?

21:30 lucky?! Lucky enough to find it?! It’s in a church! You know? The things with sacred tears in them!? The things you can see from the map?! The thing that is easily found, accessed and a thing you’re given reason to go to?! wtf does Joseph mean by lucky?!

Even though i started with Demon's Souls on PS3 and got every From game thereafter on release, I didn't start Elden Ring until 4 months ago. I got older. I remained spoiler free this entire time. Even though it's not my bag, my brother who's been there with me told me to run it depraved → strength and two hand like i did DS2 (my last favorite. Shoot me) because this game feels the most like that one. He waited for over 100hrs (I'm compelled to check every nook and cranny) until I made it to Malenia. He was certain I'd finally crack and admit this was the hardest the series has ever been, basically unfair. 3 runs later she was in a heap. Twice I'd knocked her out of the air stopping her crazy combo. Her poise was nothing. I'd died much more to the Godskin in Caelid. "Git gud" never resonated with me until I finally finished the DLC (more rage inducing than the base but manageable) and started watching reviews. How could people be so much worse than me, a mediocre player (i have a video of dancer destroying me on my channel when i was a sword and boarder) years outta practice with the series who mostly plays just so I can write lore down in a notebook and theorycraft? So much worse they blame the game itself 😬 I have complaints. It's not perfect. I had glitches hear and there, I faced a crazy camera freakout in the corner against one of the tree spirits. I had a (self imposed) hard time trying to actually hit hyper mobile bosses who alway seemed to be on the other side of the arena out of bonk range. But i can comfortably say 9.9/10 deaths were on me.

Easy. It doesn't.

1. Your voice is way too compressed. Back the ratio down to 2:1 or 4:1 max. Also, the recording you’ve compressed is really muddy. You need to pop on an eq to drop some of your mid and bass frequencies. (Btw. If you’re compressing and eqing in post: compress first, eq after. It’ll sound much clearer). 2. Some good points, but abrasive tone. I’d pull some punches with your delivery. You come off as plain mean sometimes. I appreciate what you made here. Lotta potential. I look forward to future uploads.

I wonder why Loop never used jumping heavies to punish the stomps

Godfrey fight will forever be one of my favorites in huge part thanks to the soundtrack. Just something about how it compliments his aggression and constant stomps gives me an еrection. And the second phase devolving from an honorable duel to a scrap in the mud with biting and kicking in the nuts both musically and visually.

I just hope he's a better dad than a critic because oooh boy.

Meanwhile no one made a guide on how to dodge the Dagger double strike, I'm guessing it's impossible

I think it all comes down to preference. Personally liked DS’s more intense and choir battles as they were very memorable for me. Elden Ring’s music is a step up in terms of variety though, but it’s not as memorable to me as say DS3’s main menu title or Vordt’s 2nd half. I really liked Godrick, Radagon/Elden Beast, and Godskin Duo’s track though.

Oooh yeeeeah

18:17 Castlevania music always goes hard. 32:13 Metal Gear Rising music goes hard. 45:45 Peer Gynt music goes hard. 49:17 This is why Minecraft is a good game. If you had to beat it single player blind it would be harder than Lv1. Wretch no items Elden Ring due to obtuse systems, though doing that is more viable now. 50:00 Simon’s Quest is kinda hard for the wrong reasons, but with a couple of patches (ha ha) it’s quite fun.

I gotta be honest, I still think Mountaintop of the Giants enemies are BS, because god, the big finger creepers and the fucking Caelid crows are ANNOYING to fight. I did it for like an area each, to reach Ranni and to pick up items in Caelid and left those shitheaps alone whenever possible.

4:52 where is this from?

13:20 "If you are having fun, you are playing the game right. If joseph is not having fun with this game then by his own definition he is playing the game wrong." No bitch thats a whole new sentence

Thanks, man. I really like your video. It helped a lot.

It's very clear that u just glaze ER based on ur waterfowl argument alone. U just can't accept that an ER boss can be poorly designed. Waterfowl is badly designed cos it has minimal telegraph, stun locks u if u get hit, she heals an insane amount from, and confusing her ai is not the intended way to dodge it either. Don't like act FS expected most players to figure out that that's how it should be dodged when it was challenge runners that did that. And challenge runners do plenty of other stuff that aren't intended either. I don't know y these types of vids always use challenge runners as an example that a boss is actually great. Please stop with that bs. And having a boss ignore game mechanics like a shield is not a "necessary evil", it's stupid.

Midras theme 😫👌

Just 4 more bosses to go!

I am wanting to try the strafes he does in the fight but always end up getting hit, is there a specific way to do them?

Personally, I really don't get why Midra is considered so easy to people or even "too easy". He's certainly no Radahn, Malenia or Bayle, but he's on a similar level to Messmer in my mind. Like, he has a similar amount of openings to him. The thing is that some of his attacks are less complicated than Messmer. On the other hand, as a concept he really should be hard. He does frenzy on a bunch of his attacks and if that triggers it stuns you. Then Midra immediately swoops in and does loads of damage to punish you on top of the damage from the initial attack and the frenzy proc. In particular, this can happen, if he gets any distance from you, like after his phase transition, because he has many ranged frenzy attacks. It feels kind of like when Radagon starts going insane with projectiles and teleports, except it's punished way harder. Then he also has giant literally room filling frenzy AoEs and even a complicated 5 hit combo in phase 2 that does that on every hit. But maybe I also had so much trouble with him, because I really got into trying to find jump punishes on him, which is probably more risky and everyone else just played him like DS3 and found him underwhelming. I still believe people would've complained about him being too hard had he been in Ringed City though. Either way, Midra is a great entry to Elden Rings boss roster precisely because of his many jumpable attacks and other evasion options. Like, him and Godfrey are on par. I wouldn't change a thing about him. S tier.

Response video to person who critiqued a game... opens with "this person is incorrect in their opinion" as early as in the _title..._ yyyeeeah... don't mind me while I dump poison in this well, I'm definitely not insecure at all. Sorry, but that kind of avenue of arguing or discussing doesn't really invite being taken seriously by anyone who doesn't already agree with you and just wants to hear their opinion repeated back to them by you.

So basically he played a Fromsoft game, refused to participate in the game mechanics or "git gud", then blamed the game. Lmao.

Throughout all the years of playing soulsborne titles i've never casted a spell or incantation. the closest i got was trying to a find an incantation to add lightning on my zweihander but didnt read the wiki and realised i needed to level faith once i did get it, and i was like screw it, i guess im not playing with a glowing stick the whole run lolol

As a German, the abbreviation "zwei" for zweihänder makes my brain melt. What a weird way to say that. It's as if I called your UA-cam video a "tube".
