Imagining Astel, Naturalborn of the Cosmos. I can imaging Astel in Bloodborne. A boss you’d fight in a hidden room in the Upper Cathedral or Research Hall. Such an amazing design.
Dopest boss design ever. I love that they took a Lovecraftian eldritch being and made it beautiful. If it wasnt for the color pallet it could have gone in Bloodborne easily.
@@Charlie-zo2nu First tried it with a +10 mimic, I felt like that I was overleveled since one jump attack with two katanas took out 1/10 of this health and my mimic was pretty taint (I have the samurai base armor with Radhan’s helmet)
Just realized, Astel does a different animation before teleporting that tells you what he will do after teleporting. Arms contracting inwards like a grab = he is about to teleport then grab.
@@PwNInTeNz Damn you kinda just threw me back in time. I made this comment two years ago, and this was the only boss that made me uninstall the game, two years later I'm in ng+14 🤣
@@DoctorTBR lmao, i actually beat it 3 tries later after commenting. Just started since my friend got me into bloodborne since it was free on ps+ now i just live in agony getting destroyed all the time
Bleeding Samurai with Rivers of Blood + 8, Bleeding spec, Mimic Ashes +4 . Seven tries, last one I used Rotten Breath on it a couple of times. The Breath did most of the work and I just slashed him at the end.
It took me about 5 tries. I was at level 98 equipped with a greatsword +13 with storm blade ashes of war and the spirit summons of banished knight engvall.
Damn it. Great vid, but I need to see one where he does that gravity lift move. I can’t get the dodge timing right on that move and he does it at least once every time I fight him. I’ve only been able to dodge it once in my attempts.
I was mainly trying Rot Breath and fire damage (Vagabond, mainly strength build) until I started using Regal Omen Bairn, the wraiths that chase down enemies which helped tremendously. It was hard to land damage from strictly my weapon, for me anyway.
The first 70% or so of Astel's health disappears in the first 1 minute and 15 seconds and the remaining health takes twice as long. I love Elden Ring, but Astel is indicative of one of my least favorite aspects of its boss design, and that's just how _little say_ I have in the spacing of the fight compared to previous FromSoft games.
The first time I fought this boss, I almost beat it. The second time, around half health. Third, didnt do a whole lot. Then I would die before doing any damage at all. My god
When you roll/dodge, no matter the direction, you’re briefly invincible. It’s all about timing but specifically when bosses use a heavy damage range attack, it’s best to roll through it. Knowing all the ways you can be hit is half the battle. From there you simply learn how to attack when you can and avoid getting hit as much as possible.
It's not a cheat, he dodged through them. I will say, he has probably practiced the Boss choreography a bunch. If you know what's coming its easier to avoid.
by the time I faced this boss I was already level 128 with a Great Sword +23, jacked to the tits with Pearl Drake +2, DragonCrest +2, Shard of Alexander & Jars Arsenal, he was pretty easy at that point
Complete opposite experience for me. Going with a colossal great sword build, fought it at level 65 and that may have been one of the most unfun experiences in all of souls games other than like first time Orphan from bloodborne lol
Agree. If you get behind it's head it was fairly easy. I read how so many people had issues with this fight and I was concerned. Then again I have had issues with some fights where other's have not. Play style I guess.
See I can just tell you just said this just to be a stupid ass idiot because he's by far the hardest boss in the game without a doubt I've beat this game twice and the final bosses are nowhere near as hard as this boss
@@raymondcaswell5622 Getting behind it's head or under it makes it really difficult to move out of the way of aoe attacks. I've been trying it and getting wrecked. I'm gonna try staying right in front like this video.
I read so much about this boss and hear it's some huge hard obstacle, and then I see how much 500 damage takes off and say "wow, this is some actual pussy shit what the hell was that?" The fight looks super simple and I could not relate I can only imagine how devastating magic damage would be
@@samanthamoore2669 okay so if you use a seal that boosts something (such as the gravel stone seal which boosts dragon cult incantations like the lightning bolt) in your off (left) hand, and then use a seal that scales off of pure faith (for example the erdtree seal) in your right hand, and then use the erdtree seal to cast an incantation, it will give you a 20% damage boost if you use an incantation that the left handed seal boosts. For example, let’s say you have gravel stone seal in left hand, erdtree seal in right hand, and then cast a lighting bolt with the erdtree seal, it will deal 20% more damage than if you just casted the lightning bolt with the gravel stone seal. If this isn’t working for you, it’s because your left handed seal is a higher level than your right handed seal. If your left hand seal is +20 for example and your right handed seal is +1, it won’t give a boost. If you’re right handed seal, like the erdtree seal, is +10, it will work like a charm

A lot of these monsters have unique bodies with the same stupid skull face and small head
This boss took me like 40 tries and I beat it with no flasks and like a sliver of health remaining and this man really taking no damage
took me 5 tries with a +10 mimic :"{

That patience and timing, so many close calls at the end. Such an awesome boss, GGs
This video helped me defeat it especially with being aware that two clicks of the mandible means the next beat is when it attacks with the mandible
am i the only person who has to deal with him lifting me up in the air and slamming me down with gravity magic?
One hits me, fucking annoying

My favourite part of this fight is learning to perfectly dodge the meteors. Very satisfying. Well done
Having fought the Erdtree Avatars so many times definitely helped in that regard. The meteor shower is essentially that but bigger.
Its like.. running to the side my dude 😃
@@czeekibreek8217 literally. i don’t know why ppl have such a hard time with it all you have to do is sprint or dodge roll repeatedly to one side
I love how Astel, Naturalborn was easier then Astel, Stars of Darkness
Wait there is two I only know of the one in the ranni quest

There’s two😟

this boss design is on point
was severely underleveled for this but i did it anyway, never want to do it again lmao
oooo he rolling into it!!! damn lol
how is he tanking that laser beam attack tho he tanked it 3 times. ????
dodged it three times* he dodged it.

Can somebody help me on ps5? there are never any summon signs in front of entrance
Man you make it look so fucking easy
I love this game.
GG.
someone explain to me like im 2 why he is not taking any damage
By dodging the attacks
How this guy took ZERO dmg when the shots were directly on him can only be.....a cheat.

Took me 10 tries for the first time .My keyboard didn't have shift and W, when I got new keyboard did almost no damage run 😀
Holy fuck
Was really diappointed with how easy this boss was. Such a unique design and they just get ran over by the slightest bit of magic damage.
