Radahn after watching Gael stoically tank his meteor-body drop:
"well, guess I'll die then..."
Radahn: How are you not dead?
Gael: I have no idea.
@@mewxtherealitygod4706 Gael: hand it over. That thing, your great rune
Who’s radahn idk him
Comment continue
Gael: I have been fight since begging of time to the end of war do you think mere Meteor will stop me?
Dude activated second phase and paid the piper 😂
It's crazy that all of this happened because a Painting Lady refused to buy regular black paint💀
Since when have artists been sane? Lol
The dark soul do be the best paint in existence, you really get inside the painting
You did kinda steal that comment but it doesn’t matter much
stolen comment 💀
@@veraccyep
“Uncle I need gold paint, gold like the runes of the Elden Ring.”
Gael when hearing that request:
For my ladies painting🗡️🗿
"Say no more".
"Hand it over, that thing, your Elden Ring. For may lady's painting"
Honestly the Gael vs Godfrey fight is amazing. Both are the peak of Humanity in their respective games in a way
Actually there's a really nice parallel between both bosses with their phases. In phase 1 Godfrey is holding back to maintain his lordly status which isn't his true self, while Gael presents his true self in phase 1 as a desperate hungry bestial man willing to get dirty to claim the dark soul. Phase 2, Godfrey no longer holds back and embraces his true self as Hoaux Lou, a bestial warrior willing to get his hands dirty, then Gael in phase 2 fights more human by walking on two legs and using tools like the crossbow and spells but loses his humanity and becomes undead
@@YEY0806 And similarly it shows they are wrong to do so, godfrey is demolishing him whilst he holds back and then just gets absolutely destroyed and far weaker the second he throws the warrior version of a tantrum, and gael isnt fast enough or flowing free enough in his first phase to actually keep up yet when he uses all his knowledge and power together he puts up a fight.
if godfrey didnt give into that brute side of him i think he coulda comfortably won.
@@ZeroFanfare in the context of dark souls…yes, actually. Though as with any soulsborne based series, there’s always the catch.
The catch being the cannibalism chest rip.
After all, he is hoping to devour humanity much like a dark wraith, who are said to be the most human of all
Gael literally went hollow during our fight, and was insane in the beginning.
he wasn't at the peak, he was at Humanity's lowest.
twos bros fighting using brute force
The Maliketh fight was epic, down to the wire.
We need a best of 7 series between these 2.
Death Soul vs Dark Soul
"Corporate needs you to find the difference between these bosses"
Damn what a Comeback!
The rune of death vs the dark soul of humanity
"Hand it over, that thing, your Elden Ring..."
Gideon gets beaten on a LOT in these videos but Gael is the only one ive seen to just VIOLATE him like that
"I NEED HELP!!!"
That level of violation gael applied to gideon is not achievable by even real players 🤣 he literally got him stuck on a ledge and beat him to death
Gael threw him on the sacrificial pillar and killed him with the ds3 equivalent of golden order incantations lmao. I hate Gideon but can’t help but feel bad for the way he gets bullied here
@@mewxtherealitygod4706That will never not be funny
Nameless King did
godfrey vs gael was the most cinematic one, they bothes phase transitioned at the same time and they were literally equal in strength, two nobodies basically turned gods
The battle of two granddads
Godfrey definitely isn’t a nobody, for gods sake he’s the First Elden Lord it says it in his name. Gael is in fact a nobody, but an extremely badass and powerful nobody.
@@Kira-pv4xq godfrey WAS a nobody he became a god making him incredibly important but before he was just another tarnished
@@Kira-pv4xq key word "Were". Both were basically nobodies before Hourah Loux turned into Godfrey.
@@slop4308he wasn’t a tarnished before. He became a tarnished after he divorced Marika
29:51 Gideon: “Give up! I have the high ground!”
Gael: And it’ll be your grave!!
So satisfying watching gael fling him into the air
Yeah, gael bullied him
I'm glad that someone did this with Gaels full moveset, great job. Really surprised how close he got to killing Malenia, even with rot excluded
Did you also notice that he was destroyed for first face malenia? And also in the second round 2d face malenia did not use a single water fall dance or her clon attacks?
In Dark Souls 3 toxic doesn't really work too well on him, and I'm glad the mod author noticed that
@AnthonyDoesUA-cam Uh? Gael is one of the very few bosses where toxic and poison are even worth applying, wdm?
@@kevincruz8692 I mean yeah, Malenia is a cheap boss. Healing, high dmg, two full health bars, scarlet rot with high tick dmg, clones, etc. It's almost not even worth watching any battle with her because she is almost guaranteed to win it.
@@JoeyCentralyeah very unfun to watch
I'm happy I became the elden lord.
So happy to see Gael full move set not like the other guy
cringe boss got ganked by godskin duo 💀
Asmongold Ganked The Godskin Duo First TRY. People beat godskin alot, cause duo is hated alot.
@@sugomaamogus1662 in close quarters yeah but in an open field. it's a whole different and this goes as well for other bosses like maliketh.
@@andrewler13theundeadwarrio51 You fight 8 godskins as a boss, no wonder they're hated. I still don't know what they were doing there.
@@sugomaamogus1662Pussy gonkers vs chad Gael 🗿
14:38 was so cool, with them simutaneously teleporting to face each other
He does not slow down, you cannot stop him, you can't even delay him, he walks and not even a city sized meteor can halt him. His crossbow bolts send you to your knees, and every hit shatters your poise. You will submit your belongings to Gael. You have no choice. Your great rune, your elden ring, your maiden. Even your morgwen.
Still died to godskin apostles 💀
@@AKALLLL18gael without 80% of his dark damage and 30% less life 💀
@@AKALLLL18 we look past that.
@@rodolfoseminariorivera3389dark damage should be ghost sorcery and yes his health /poise is lower
@@rodolfoseminariorivera3389He has his vanilla 15k HP here tho
Alright. Gael slow walking up to Gideon as he monologues was the most menacing thing in this video, and it goes so hard
That fight with maliketh was amazing the comeback from gael and the fight ending at a tie was very cool.
yess i came here after midir lost to maliketh and i had 0 hopes for gael, a well recived surprise
In the elden ring duel system Gael would've won since he was like a second early with the kill...My copium is unmatched
15:10 - 15:17 is some of the most cinematic shit ever, with Gael jumping over the flames and through the beams. Holy fuck that was so sick
Literally the only comment I've seen for that moment. Stupidly epic.
The slow walk towards Gideon before launching him into space was awesome
he just tanked radahn meteorite looking at him
and the way maliketh was afraid at the start throwing rocks
Maliketh always starts using rocks
I can`t believe that Rykard just survived with that tiny health.
his health points helping him survived Gael. if only they have equal hp then Rykard is nothing but a stomped snake
@@HazDev56 and the gael beat all this boss bcs hes immune to stunn not like the other so hard to tell fair fight
TOGETHAAAAA
@@stdona Him being immune to stun is part of his deal. His journey was endless, do you think a mere battering would phase him? But what does seem unfair is his immunity to lightning strikes (not lightning damage), which may have allowed placidusax to win if he hadnt had that effect.
@@jacobschneider3975 oh, so that's why Placi's storm didn't even tickle him, but the claw did
28:54 the audacity to attack him mid speech😂
Gideon: It's over Gael, I have the high ground!
Gael: Yeah and?
Gael: historians will question why your corpse lays there.
I laught that comment so hard 😂😂😂
FINALLY SOMEONE MANAGES TO DO SLAVE KNIGHT GAEL FULL COMBO WHAT A LEGEND
Gael is the coolest boss in FromSoft history.
At the end of your Dark Souls journey, after going through the very human struggle of overcoming countless trials, and never giving up, after becoming exemplar of the human spirit - you now fight the human spirit itself. Gael holds the Dark Soul, and the Dark Soul is the spirit of humanity.
So you fight him over who gets to hold it while the world ends, surrounded by Dust and Echoes. A two man war over nothing of value, just you and the only other soldier who never failed or gave up on his mission. You and Gael, in one final slugfest at the end of time.
That fight was a nod from the developers, one final challenge to the player that refused to go hollow, and I don't think most people see it for what it is. The music, the visuals, the fight itself, and all the backstory are just incredible. Gael was perfect, nothing will ever top it.
Well said
Very true. Fitting end for the only post-souls Souls game.
Why are they fighting though. They can’t just be friends?
@@kwible3682 It is said that Gael was consumed by the Dark Soul physically and mentally because the Dark Soul was too powerful for him to handle. He fights us because he demands more Dark Souls.
Nothing will ever top him? Well I hope that statement is gonna be wrong in the future, wanna see cool bosses like him, but so far he is the best for me too
Margagott’s double evade was savage. I love these videos
He also does just get gunned downed both times.
Marga- huh?
« Margagott » 💀
The fact that Maliketh would’ve won with almost no damage if only this attack 12:13 had hit him, shows why he only has 5k hp and 80 poise.
Also the fact that Gael made such a comeback after recovering from destined death was epic and in character with him being the embodiment of willpower.
And at last, the fight has been nobly fought. What a phenomenal draw, 2 fearsome warrior are equally powerful.
That was such an epic moment.
Why’d Gael heal at the end? Cause he actually wouldn’t of killed Maliketh if he didn’t
@@indeedgaminghere401 He regained the health lost from the destined death debuff as it wore off
34:17 HE DID IT, HE DID THE JOLLY COOPERATION MOVE
Fade out fade in teleportation. Poggers
@@mewxtherealitygod4706 you can't really see it that well, but he actually teleports using white soapstone summon signs.
@@Chr0maY ...oh wait seriously?... I thought it was lazy warping, there's lore?... THERES A SOAPSTONE!?!
@@mewxtherealitygod4706 ye, they used white soapstones for normal summons, yellow ones were for sunbros.
@@mewxtherealitygod4706 you should look up his og fight in ds3 at some point, it's much easier to see when he does it in his 2nd phase.
His fight with mohg really put the fear in mohg as mohg was literally trying to get away and did a last ditch attack only to get diced to pieces.
“I fear no man but that thing…” Hears the clicking of the Repeating crossbow.
“it scares me.”
Gail is just a power house. He's by far my favorite boss in all the souls games
Honestly if they fixed Morgott's horrible Stance and gave him like 25% more HP he'd be a much more enjoyable boss. He's fun to fight but it's always a very short fight.
does mainly holy damage, bad poise, delayed attacks, phase transition that lasts like 10 seconds. Poor guy
I believe the reason for not having more HP is due to being a Main boss
@@iamMildlyUpsetWithMostOfYouTubHe's the Pontiff Sulyvahn of this game. Both great bosses, but aren't the best against other enemies.
@@user-rz7hg9my6halways wanted to see Morgott face off Pontiff Sulyvahn because they’re basically of the same coin
Taking control of the holy cities, commanding their armies, sending specific knights under their commands and hate the Unkindled/Tarnished that they actively impede their progress
Though Morgott is more noble in his part, Sulyvahn just hated the gods
4:10
Dude, the way he ate that shit was so epic.
He just stood there menacingly.
Well, come on, let’s see what you got. 😈
Wow, these fights seemed quite balanced, as there were many close calls for him, even tied with maliketh, a good display of why he is a great boss, really good video
Yeah. Upsetting that we don't get his phase one, but he'll I think that's worth it.
Imma be honest I didn't think you'd be able to directly port these guys in. I thought this was an attempt to replicate it... nope, this is one for one how he fights in dark souls 3.
Balance??😂
Idk one can get poise broken easy the other cant. Seems a bit silly. Still cool tho
I would like to see the Abyss Watchers in Elden Ring, I have always loved their moveset, especially phase 2.
I love the abyss watchers but I think there only as strong as godrick gameplay wise
Yes but unless Nameless Ring ups their HP to viable heights, the Watchers would be destroyed immediately. Even Godrick would dispatch them with ease.
That fight vs Godfrey went hard 🔥🔥🔥
"Thy strength befits a crown"
"IM NOT LOOKING FOR GOLD DAMNIT!!"
@@mewxtherealitygod4706”IM JUS TRYNA PAINT A DAMN PICTURE NOW GIVE ME MY FUCKING DARK SOUL”💀🤣🤣
Amazing! Not only was Gael able to use his entire moveset, but also used it properly! As powerful as he should be. I also noticed that unlike other “Dark Souls 3 bosses/Bloodborne vs Elden Ring Bosses” videos, Gael didn’t have insane stun or poise break. It was reasonable, and I really appreciate the fact that Godfrey’s grabs were enabled as well (Though he only used it once) This was a great video! Liked and subbed.
Only a Goddess of Rot, a god devourer, and took 2 god flayers could take down the consumer of the dark soul. 😳😳😳
You realized that regular Malenia took down Gael comfortably.
He needed to be buffed beyond his ordinary strength that he even had a chance against Malenia.
@@matiasluukkanen7718simp
@@matiasluukkanen7718bro really said 🤓
I don’t know if these bosses get tweaked to match the game they are in but poise works very differently in each game. I think dark souls 3 bosses are stronger in terms of poise affliction to Elden ring bosses but I could be completely wrong. That was just an idea I had because even though it’s not as often I think Gael was still breaking poise more than usual.
@@matiasluukkanen7718
Well, it certainly wasn’t a cakewalk for Malenia with Gaels normal stats. It still took some elbow grease, easy , or only comfortably to some form. Still, I agree.
There were some epic battles in this one. Mainly the Malenia 2nd battle, Maliketh's and Rykard's.
Gael using those Way of White Coronas like that at the end of the Astel fight was something so insanely accurate ONLY an AI could do... It was perfection
The multi hit at the end of that fight was from his crossbow
I always wondered what Gael was up to in Lordran during those thousands of years at the end of time, and now I finally have an answer. He was committing genocide in the Lands Between.
Fight in dreg heab
I'm glad to see a fight between a DS3 boss and an ER boss without a stun effect every three hits that gives the DS3 boss an advantage.
The superstun stuff is mostly just Midir and Nameless King. The rest do more reasonable poise damage. Except for maybe Dragonslayer Armour.
They do get stunned too just not to same extent. Its mostly the loud ass thunk noises makes it sound so bad lol.
Love this video man Gael was my favorite boss in DS3 This video is Peak so good keep up the amazing work😊
Maliketh and Godfrey were so epic, what a show! I thought Elden Beast was going to take the W but Gael came back hard
Gael was even at half health.
@@mewxtherealitygod4706not impressing
5:16 I don't know why but this is just a cool dodge by Morgott
I find it so cool that people are able to make these videos, would love to see how yorm fairs next.
Gael pulling a glock 18 on a schoolkid for throwing a book at him
Malenia vs the Slave Knight was perfect since it's Maestro against Gladiator. Matchless Swordsmaster against hardened Juggernaut. Both are particularly known for their strength of will, and their loyal service to the only one who loves them. The ending was utterly poetic, and evoked the feeling of a legendary old knight going into his last battle against an awakened god, giving her the fight of her immortal life with what's left of his strength before he is finished off by a coup de grâce.
Queen marika has high hopes for us that we will contin… “gets stabbed in the face” 29:05
"I NEED HELP!!!"
His AI seems much better here not broken like those other videos
Can't wait for the other bosses done in your ways like soul of cinder and nameless King. and as well for more coming like yhorm in the next year considering how big you are doing in this battles and putting a lot of effort to making them great and awesome.
Maliketh, mohg and malenia gave me chills
The way he just walks right through Godrick's fire at the start of phase 2 is the epitome of badass
Ahh! Every Soul has its Dark.
Really sick video, would love to see Midir fighting the elden ring bosses - though I suppose he wouldn't fit in a few of the boss rooms, the ones that you could see would be amazing. Dragonlord Placidusax or the Elden Beast vs Midir would be sick
May have not been about to beat Malenia. But he was worthy to become Elden Lord
Doesn't need to have lot of bullshit to be good and challenging
Easy top 3 along with Ludwig and Isshin, maybe Malikwth/Godfrey for top 4
The slow stomps towards Gideon followed by the inevitable interruption was so awesome
We need more gael vs malkieth , that fight looks extremely 50/50
The video is awesome: Gael is my favorite boss throughout the whole souls series. Also can you make a Phase3 Gael original scaling & same area scaling vs malenia? Feel like if Gael is phase 3 for the whole time, with the scaling bonus it’s likely that he’ll beat malenia even with healing
He somehow wasn't even at his full power throughout all of that slaughter.
That only happens if he is immune to rot and can't get poise broken. Malenia would be nerfed hard in the fight.
Yoooo the Godfrey and Gael syncronized AOE was amazing lmao
I've never been one for these types of videos, but good lord do I love watching Dark Souls Bosses kill the hell out of Elden Ring bosses.
incredible how well you ported every asset into elden ring, waiting for a soul of cinder perfect port!!
15:42 That's the best moment.
Need to see Best of 5 of Gael vs Godfrey. Both of them looked like they’re fighting evenly. (Also both are two of my favourite bossfights Fromsoft has made)
Maliketh , fire giant , godfrey , and Mohg fought superbly ! Also Godskin duo battle is worth mentioning !
Walking through the moon beam like Broly through the Kamehameha wave holy shit that was sick
2:00 slave knight skywalker slaughtering the younglings
He has the high soul
29:49 Slave Knight Skywalker destroying a guy with the high ground
It is because Gideon underestimated his power
Boss I'm interested in seeing have a go is Yhorm.
Immune not just to status effects but completely to _fire_ as well, has the largest amount of HP of all the bosses too I think, more than Gael and Midir I know, and high damage absorption in the legs and torso.
His attacks are simple though. I don't know how much damage he can deal. He can can be stunned out of attacks and even completely poise broken. And if any enemy manages to get him in the arms or worse the head, if it's something besides fire then that's a significant hit to him. As long as the bosses aren't made to autotarget the head or something then that might be a good watch.
Not a boss people like too well but he's built well for these sorts of crossover battles. Much more so than say Sister Friede whose biggest problem is being able to be infinitely stunlocked. ER bosses would be knocking her out of every other attack she'd attempt to do (she could be given poise of sorts of course, Malenia-style startup hyperarmor for some attacks? I just remember seeing the video with the Silver Knights fighting her and she could not get a single attack out because she was forever stunlocked by the arrow barrage, something you can't quite do to Malenia because of those instant startup hyperarmor attacks of hers like waterfowl etc.)
28:51 Gael's walk down to Gideon was absolutely GENERATIONAL
imo these videos are so much cooler then watching elden ring bosses fight elden ring bosses
I've been curious for a long time now. If the highest scaling in ER is 7.4 roughly for Haligtree roots, what's the numerical scaling for the Ringed city and how much lower is it?
I am so happy that Gael didn’t die to Radahn’s meteor
minute 31:39 it's fantastic!!!!! to see Gael take that Turn in the Air to hit Goofrey. That beautiful movement moment is worthy of a movie😮😮😮😮😮😮

There's something supremely funny about Gael withstanding Radahn's meteoric fall, and then turning toward the camera before going into his third phase.
I loved how Maliketh killed him while he was just staggered before he died.
Everyone gangsta till The mall santa pulls out The
crossbow minigun.
5:33 but for Real nice finish!
12:10
Gael really hit that
“call an ambulance! Call an ambulance.. but not for me”
We really miss your videos, you are one of the few whose videos are really not made in favor of specific bosses, but only honest and not re-shot videos
Enters Maliketh's boss room.
Thou who approachith, Destined Death.
Yes. Hand it over. That thing; your Destined Death.
*"The Everlasting Dragons hit harder than that, Boy."*
5:15 this sequence is unreal, looks amazing in slowmo
Very good job!
Gael straight up said "let's both be in phase 2" with Radahn
It turned out really good, I had an old theory back in the trailers era that the elden ring was actually the new world of painting. I hope you can see new bosses that originated in the painting like Pontiff Sullivan or people who were welcomed in the painting like Sister Friede, maybe the twins Lorian and Lothric will appear, only fate and the truth will reveal because paths cross as calm as the wind or violently as a hurricane.
4:50 was awesome, Morgott straight up ‘running through the bamboo’ dodging those bolts
The bearer of the Dark Soul VS all the Demi-gods is a badass concept
Dude literally made Gideon stand in the corner.
no destined death no rot no bleed no OP shit and he destroyed the fire giant. this is how great bosses look
edit: holy shit that fight with maliketh was awesome
😂 ah yeah... and no ds3 insane stun values transferred directly to elden ring 😂 That's not OP at all... to render the target defenceless for a whole 10 seconds every 5 seconds😂 how not OP at all😂😂😂
He has busted af damage resistances/absorption and basically no poise, when are you guys going to understand that the strongest bosses will *ALWAYS* have some sort of gimmick.
@@virael3801you can still stagger the man even in base game.
Friede vs Melenia und now Gael vs Maliketh, great fight^^
Fire giant is aways a surprise, I never expect him to get this close in videos like this
Its crazy how fast malekith shredds bosses
But respect to Radahn He gave gael a Real fight
And gael vs godfrey was awsome, 2 giga chads who kick the hell out of each other
I know. Two iconic souls gilfs in the heat of battle, rubbing up against each other. It was so hot.
Radahn got to be the worst boss I've ever seen, weak and always losing
@@goddesssalem4842 yes because He was nerfed to shit, and the scaling of gael is much higher then radahn He is on the malekith Level of scaling, and even with that Radahn Held up pretty good
Nah Radahn just has one simple unfair attack
@@Vengeance_Im Ur opinion He has 0 unfair moves
If Gael starts of phase3, he could probably solo everyone in the lands between. That phase 3 damage and stagger output is insane and helped him clutch through late game bosses (exceptions being malenia ofc)
Gael is super weak to status effects, like poison and toxic and bleed, and he can actually be cheesed in Dark Souls 3 with bleed or toxic very easily.
So realistically, Mohg and especially Malenia would procc him very easily.
I’m glad you kept Godricks scream in
Yes! Finally, the true power of the dark souls unleashed in elden ring.
Mightiest dragonlord’s lightning strikes deals only 7 damage 😅
The second Margot fight was cool. They flowed well together
Dragonslayer Armor next? I feel like he's practically built for Elden Ring
Alternative title: Mall santa’s bizarre adventure, painter’s crusade
i think gael is still missing some of his moveset, there's this berserker rage that he goes into where he smashes his sword around really fast and jumps away then comes back if i remember correctly. but man it's so cool to see him fucking shit up in elden ring. I hope someday someone can mod all the bosses of DS3 into elden ring for people to enjoy
He only does that in phase 1 were he swings wildly and leaps away.
You have to remember that phase 1 Gael is a different entity model.
Love that Rennala blasted him with her signature opening glintstone beam and then Gael shredded her in turn with his machine gun crossbow. Truly, he is worthy of being an Elden Lord.
I need the next video to have Gael moving like he does in DS3. Bro , was so incredible. I remember admiring his attacks in phase 1, then being shocked and overwhelmed phase 2. His fight style was an art undoubtedly.
ua-cam.com/video/UFkCQ6ilAtY/v-deo.htmlfeature=shared
Noice. Definatly one of the closest i have seen with malenia.
Right? Equal scaling Gael might be the only boss beside Maliketh that I have seen get that close, even if we should consider that he was immune to rot, which shouldn't really be the case
@@erandigael2878 To be fair to Malenia she didn't use any OP moves in the 2nd phase.
@min24434 she did spend 80% of it either stunned or on the ground, but that is true, the clone attack could just end any attempt
Scarlet Rot doesn't work on Gael, he's immune to it. If it worked then he would almost instantly die on Malenia's phase 2 transition.
Gael beat most of the Elden Ring bosses with only 15k HP, just by having insane defense & reduction/absorption to any damage type going at him - a 1000 dmg attack from Fire Giant only translate to 700-800 dmg on Gael.
also, his 98 poise is not that impressive, but his poise recovery is fast enough it seems he wasnt staggered at all.
his only bad match up is the Godskin Duo, due to probably the black flame shredding his HP regardless of his defense; and its still a surprise that he nearly beat them too.
against Maliketh, lets say that his RNG helped him this time, as Destined Death shreds apart his HP even quicker than black flame.
i cant believe Gael tanked the whole Rancor of Rykard and nearly bring him down with him.
against Malenia, well she is Malenia, she is full of bullshits. still, Gael was able to make do with his feeble Dark Souls 3 stats instead of Haglitree area scaling - when he switch to the same area stat scaling as Malenia, he nearly beat her too. that top level defense against Rot probably helped.
