That one dude rushing the Elden Beast with his sword and shield while the others stayed behind, and the beast actually targeting the great shield dude… it felt personal.

The sheer power of Leyndell's military breaks my immersion. Fuck being Elden Lord, this could've been Elden Oligarchy with a dozen of these guys sharing control.
There were hundred of them in leyndell, they could've just stand up against the outer gods themselves without the need of the whole shattering thing lmao
Leyndell couldn't have survived granssax by they own. They had to be helped by the outer gods to defeat granssax. This dragon was as big as the capital and it was made into stone. No wounds, only a god could do that xd
@@Jirafoide2000 bro we are a human that has the power to revive and we kill things no mere man should be able to kill even with this power plus a dragon that size is just a bigger target to hit meaning the big artillery could easily smash though his scales

Gideon being in a constant state of dodge rolling and being comedically sent flying back a hundred feet by an arrow is the funniest thing i’ve seen all day
Morgott dodging the initial volley, the knight who was singled out by Astel being the one to take him down, and Hoarah Loux being taken out by a guy rushing in with a sword, are all amazing moments
@@chrismeandyou They actually won because they had huge healthpools and avoided the arrows frequently, along with hyperarmored leap attacks, plus every main boss has AoE attacks.
There's almost a beautiful story to be found here. A world where the Tarnished never came, and where a cadre of knights took it upon themselves to do what needed to be done. They had no way to level up, all they had were their brothers and the strength of their sword (and bow) arm.
10:18 Gideon casually sidestepping both volleys while he drinks his flask is badass, shame the rest of the fight is just him panic rolling and getting bodied
It is easy to forget, but in lore these guys were supposed to be only step below demigods themselves in standing. And noble families of the capital each (maybe Haight and Marrais as well) claimed such knight as an ancestor by description on Aristocrat's Coat. So if demigods are royalty, these guys produce all the dukes, counts and barons.
13:10 I respect this man so much. He died so that his brethren might live and defeat the Eldritch beast before them. The legend was felled, yea, but a new one was created in its stead.
It’s his first phase he just sits there and let’s everyone hit him and his second phase he starts dematerializing and then RKO’s you out of the sky doing like 2k damage per hit
It’s amazing in this case too, since his tele-swipes seem JUST outpace the knights’ reloading animation-he had little margin for error once he had it down to the last four and made the most of his windows of opportunity Efficiency Lord Placidusax
I like how Malenia survives the first few rounds because she's one of the few bosses to actually dodge the arrows. Superpowers: Waterfowl Dance, the rot nuke everyone runs into, and being able to move a few feet to the side.
@@trustytrest Even if the Knight do kill hers... that is nothing to be impressed. Because this all about stunt & breaking posture of the boss. Once they do... damage is insane. Having multiple enemies at once, ruin the bosses' focus, isn't this evidence by summons? Once the boss is occupied with one enemy, they open to being under attack by everyone else. Once you break the bosses' posture, it's almost over. But the amazing part about all these is to know Malenia is badly damaged. She succumbed to Rots. Lost both eyes. Lost an arm & 2 legs. Both of her legs are prosthetics. But she fought fairer than anyone... People keep saying how much Malenia cheats Radanh during their last fight, which could be true... but she was already at a disadvantage too... because by that fight, she have lost 1 arm & 2 legs.
This is my favorite of your series. It had a real Band of Brothers feel to it. Jesus, they didn't need a Tarnished chosen one, the Lyndell Knights just needed a competent commander with a clear battle plan.
Рік тому+6
its a sorry things that the only ones that could do something are in the bad lands, being a puppet for an outer god or death in the Lyndell assault
They kinda did Thats why lyndell didnt fell and Radagon throne remain untouched for centuries despite other demigods best effort. It was to a point that marika start to enlist outsider tarnished
5:42 is my favorite of all of these videos, its was cinematic af Placi just vanishing into thin air, then reappearing in the sky with that red lightning and destroying the knight army was just flawless.
I enjoyed how climactic Malenia's battle was, the glorious last stand of a swordmaster against an elite regiment, while on the other hand Placidusax is just 'How much lightning can I blast these bastards with before they get me'.

FS does give a shit about lore when making up stuff like this. The lore is a afterthought at best. Don't believe me? Just look what they have done to some magic spells in the past. They have nerfed endgame spells, that were obtained through long sidequests and were held by the most powerful wizards into oblivion, so that you cannot even use them anymore. That shows how much FS cares about the lore, when it comes to balancing. Oh and do you also have a lore reason why they forgot to give us Torrent in the final battle? ER bosses are cheap and most of them are not well designed and Malenia is the queen of BS. Just cheese her with some of the many broken weapon arts and go on. She does not deserve anything else. If you want to fight a good hard boss, play Sekiro instead.
at the start of the Radahn fight, I genuinely felt like they were all going to die, but after seeing them clock him for 1/4th his hp was so hysterical. Man I love/hate Leyndell Knights, those guys strike some fear of grace into someone.
Radahn was epic. I had no idea they could shoot that far, and they destroyed him as soon as he touched them. They also had a cadence to their firing which made it 10x better
@thecompetitor4418 She didn't. She dodged once, twice but then got porcupined. Morgott dodged and sliced and went on attacking. Rotussy only won thanks to phase change and Aeonia ultra.
physics is so amazing in this game like the force of those arrows stopping a full weight body mid air is just too awesome and also how each of the knights seems to have their own distinct characters and priorities
I love the knights in this game they found a way to make each regional knight unique all while keeping a constant look like they were all a part of the same military at one point and it makes me way to see all the different knights work together like think of it godrick cuckoo redmane and halgtree knights working side by side
Turns out all that was needed to save the Lands Between are a group of well-trained well equipped professional soldiers ... That's actually quite realistic 😅 As long as they don't mess with time frozen ancient dragon lords or crazy rot infected killer ladies they will be fine.
@@justingovas415 if they staggered their shots they could have won with what they had, they all shot at the same time so she could dodge all the shots with one move
The fact that the top comment it not a Bolton with 20 good men reference shows that Elden Ring's community is way younger than the Dark Souls Community lol
This proves the potency of the individual forces that each Shard Bearer possesses. It’s very satisfying. No gimmicks, no crazy dodging, just people using a simple bow, arrow, sword, and shield.
And think about it... these guys are basically the silver knights of Elden ring, and it took 3 scores (3x20) of silver knights to take down every ancient dragon from ds. And there is actually a video of Midir actually fighting scores of silver knights, he survived up until 30 knights and only died in the attempt where there were 40 of them literally one shotting him
@@paulschoneberg2955 Each and every one of the crucible knights are literally legendary warriors, far above silver knights or pretty much any other knight order, knights of an age long past. Hell I'd even go as far as to say each of them are Ornstein level powerful.
@@Thiccness_Is_Delicious I'm not refering in a lore perspective way but gameplay way, he does have a decent chance againts most bosses even for his low stats, lots of videos out there assure this.
@@albertooliver4585 of course he has. He does high damage and moves around like crazy, so that most boss attacks don't hit him. He is also one of the only bosses, who can get away from AoEs.
Never thought seeing Gideon panic rolling would bring me so much joy.😂

that was hilarious to watch
A true tarnished.
It's hilarious to know that's what we look like from other points of view😂

Unsung hero
The cinematics of the knights desperately shooting and missing against Dragonlord as he picks them off is so scary and cool.
This couldn't have been understated
They were close but sadly they were no match for the kamikaze tactics
If they dispersed a bit they could have won. They where to packed and he reaped them all in two swipes

To ez
That one dude rushing the Elden Beast with his sword and shield while the others stayed behind, and the beast actually targeting the great shield dude… it felt personal.
That was so stupid of the Elden Beast. It cost him the entire match! If it had targeted the others instead it could have won.
He sacrificed himself for his bros.
I feel like without that guy's sacrifice they might not have won. Even if he died, he wasted a lot of the Beast's time.

Survive dragon invasions

Yet those knights couldnt take down malenia nor the dragon phalx😅
THE YOUNGLINGS 😂😂😭
Gideon being in a constant state of dodge rolling and being comedically sent flying back a hundred feet by an arrow is the funniest thing i’ve seen all day
Actually look like us lol
And Sir Gideon Ofnir, the all rolling!
I think the best part was he finally got up to them on his final roll.
Reminds me of that “pov you are the fire giant” meme raccoon 🦝
Gideon is like “fuck this game man, who designed these bosses”
Morgott dodging the initial volley, the knight who was singled out by Astel being the one to take him down, and Hoarah Loux being taken out by a guy rushing in with a sword, are all amazing moments
That was so fire! With the music too!
The one guy drawing agro from Elden Beast was also good.
And gideon straight dodging for a whole business day
u forgot Gideon getting ragdolled for 2 minutes straight
I laughed when they all missed the first volley against fire giant 😂
I love that the strategy of a firing line then a shift to swords works so well for them, almost looks drilled with how effective it is
FR
It's also greatly painful in game
Actually they are AI generated to, AI doesn’t need practice
Lorewise, they are. They're elite knights
2:32 that dodge from Morgott followed by that massive swipe across the line was absolutely beautiful
Bro remembered what they do
malenia did the same lol
Really had me thinking he might win lol
THIS IS ELDEN RING!!!!
stagger is a pain in the neck
I cannot begin to express how deeply satisfying it was watching Gideon roll for his life knowing damn well he’s screwed. Lol
Rykard: “Together!”
Leyndell Knights: “Great idea!”
I love the idea of a heroic company of only 10 knights just plowing through the lands between. Awesome.
@8:29 is a modern art masterpiece. Look at that socratic pose. 🤣🤣
Sounds like a old tale told within the game itself lol
Came to comment this, would love to read that story

@@zainmehdi9584now that needs a legendary name like

I like how the knights were respectful enough to let Gideon finish his speech before annihilating him
last words before the execution
They straight up bullied that man.
It all look so solemn, and then he gets yeeted mid casting. The comedic timing is perfect
Gideon: ...That we continue to struggle, unto eternity.
Leyndell Knight: Alright, I've heard enough. Deadly force authorized.
Live police officer reaction to an innocent drunk driver playing league of legends (Max0r reference)
Seems like Gideon was playing league.
The fact that this was so one sided against every other boss yet Malenia and Dragonlord still managed to win is insane.

They lost to the goat of the dragons and cancer. R.I.P.
The dragon later died of infection.
AOE for the win
@@chrismeandyou They actually won because they had huge healthpools and avoided the arrows frequently, along with hyperarmored leap attacks, plus every main boss has AoE attacks.

IT'S LIKE 300 BUT IN ELDEN RING INSTEAD OF SPARTA
*THES, ES, SPARTAGH* **KICKS YOU DOWN A GIGANTIC HOLE**
Isn't that essentially the Abyss Watchers from DS3?
No way to level up but all their stats are still higher than the Tarnished lol
Leyndell must have some crazy protein shakes
Nothing more powerful than men faithful to their brothers standing side by side against insurmountable evil
2:21 “And now, a moment of silence for our two fallen brothers…”
fr I like how they all just surrounded the two knights that died in the fight
they all surrounded the two like "ay bro, you good?"
Radahn: "Come on guys, I have a really dope second phase"

I hate watching his fights tbh. Teleporting just feels way too cheap lol.
Funny thing is, Placidusax was the only boss I beat on my first try on my first game.
That child massacre with renala was absolutely brutal 😂
Master Skywalker there’s too many of them what are we going to do

Good thing she is an optional boss, they actually win by simply ignoring her and going straight for the final boss 😅
Fits perfectly since her strongest power is plot armor.
She went full hedgehog after the fight
I hit ctrl+F "arrows" to see if anybody was feeling that
@@dylonson4786 What are you even talking about?
I always knew these guys were cracked af
@6:36 "Yeah you got me good, but I got you last!" 🤣🤣🤣
2:31 That dodge was so clean
The cordinated firing feels so satisfying
I love the knights in this game they found a way to make each regional knight unique all while keeping a constant look like they were all a part of the same military at one point and it makes me way to see all the different knights work together like think of it godrick cuckoo redmane and halgtree knights working side by side
Like Ken and Ryu
Turns out all that was needed to save the Lands Between are a group of well-trained well equipped professional soldiers ... That's actually quite realistic 😅
As long as they don't mess with time frozen ancient dragon lords or crazy rot infected killer ladies they will be fine.
Welp, that's just 10 of them, imagine a battalion of them who can dodge like Melania.
elden ring military coup ending?
@@Ethian315honestly even 2 more woulda taken her down. Her life was extremely low when she won
@@justingovas415 if they staggered their shots they could have won with what they had, they all shot at the same time so she could dodge all the shots with one move
@@TzeentchLordofChangeIf they were placed slightly further apart they would have won lmao
The lands between didn't need some maidenless tarnished, they just needed a little unity
10:55 Sir Gideon Ofnir rolling for his life. 😂😂
that's the first time ever Radahn is seen holding his arrows and dying before shooting them
Lol, he got then with one volley and they were like, oh heeeellll no!"
"You got made your one shot. Our turn."
He was given his first and last shot
The fact that the top comment it not a Bolton with 20 good men reference shows that Elden Ring's community is way younger than the Dark Souls Community lol
6:35
The absolute payback from the guy who got blasted, ended up taking the kill.
This proves the potency of the individual forces that each Shard Bearer possesses.
It’s very satisfying. No gimmicks, no crazy dodging, just people using a simple bow, arrow, sword, and shield.
5:41 All hail Dragonlord Placidusax!! 🙏
You gotta admit even if Gideon lost for his age hes very flexable
If only he wasn't so glassy.
@@davidtsmith33he leveled his vigor
Just not enough
The Leyndell Firing Squad.
They took the whole "strike at zero hour with overwhelming firepower" very literally.
Sabaton raging in their minds
This popped up as a short for me
That's why even demigods needed armies.
Morgott dodging the arrows was fire 2:35
Yeah but you gotta give Giddy A for effort. Poor thing.
Fire Giant dodging first volley of arrows by just turning a bit xD ultra instinct lol
gideon panic rolling is top tier elden ring content
This really shows how powerful Knights are when they band together.
A salute to our brave knights who fought, and a solemn moment of silence for those who have fallen.
11:25 “ we have come for better wages”
And think about it... these guys are basically the silver knights of Elden ring, and it took 3 scores (3x20) of silver knights to take down every ancient dragon from ds. And there is actually a video of Midir actually fighting scores of silver knights, he survived up until 30 knights and only died in the attempt where there were 40 of them literally one shotting him
Yep, I think it was bonfire vn that did that one, I can't remember who exactly though
@@syricstheconquerer3608 yep, BonfireVN
@@s8theninjawarrior916 awesome
and what are the Crucible Knights ? they are twice as strong
@@paulschoneberg2955 Each and every one of the crucible knights are literally legendary warriors, far above silver knights or pretty much any other knight order, knights of an age long past. Hell I'd even go as far as to say each of them are Ornstein level powerful.
I really thought that Maliketh and Godfrey would win, and Placidusax and Malenia winning with almost no health is epic!
Maliketh?😂 with 10k health and 0 poise
@@Toot7. even with that low stats he can destroy almost all main bosses with only few exceptions and being Malenia his only match.
@albertooliver4585 he does destroy all of them from a lore prespective even malenia fears him lol
@@Thiccness_Is_Delicious I'm not refering in a lore perspective way but gameplay way, he does have a decent chance againts most bosses even for his low stats, lots of videos out there assure this.
@@albertooliver4585 of course he has. He does high damage and moves around like crazy, so that most boss attacks don't hit him. He is also one of the only bosses, who can get away from AoEs.
The knights all coming together to make that last sweep from Placidusax was so sweet x 😂😂
Poor Gideon turned into a hedgehog 😂 11:38
HAHAHAA
Defeat.
5:22 Dragonlord Placidusax
8:50 Malenia. Blade of Miquella
And that's a good thing. I'm always a bit sad when it looks like an execution rather than a proper fight.
Both of them optional bosses in the game, so the knights could have technically saved the Lands Between if they don't mess with them.
@@AscendantStoicwell they also have to get where they’re going without being killed so no, probably not
@@mojorisin259They are literally stationed right outside of the Elden Throne, all they need is for Morgott to stop being an idiot.
Technically it was Malenia Goddess of Rot
