Great fight, but I think AOE effects don't work right on Yhorm. In the Morg fight he wasn't taking any damage from the rain of fire blood attack thing, and I bet FG woulda fucked him up if his AOEs were hitting. edit: looks like Yhorm's AOE doesn't work either. So who knows.
@@Frauger I don't think so. Like most DS3 bosses, Yhorm's threat comes from his ability to make players flinch, stumble, and get air juggled. Since Gideon counts as a player, he was getting tossed around and knocked down constantly. Even the roar was effective.
@@Fraugernah fam. You can’t possibly look at the health bar at the end and tell me that had Gideon aimed for the head he would’ve won. He didn’t even had time to cast most of the time
He's also totally immune to fire damage. The burn effect from blackflame is a percentage of hp and so has no damage type, which is why it messed him up so badly.
Yhorm is one of my favourite characters in the whole soulsborne sphere. And I'm going to be completely honest: at 13:53 I straight up threw my arms over my head and yelled: "THAT'S MY BOY!!!" Clearly the superior giant. Lol

@@medijy LMAO, he didn't. Stop coping, kid. Yhorm is just that guy. With his fire immunity and incredible physical resistance. Radahn meteor is nothing but a peeble. You should learn to read before commenting, you dolt.
Yhorm's size is definitely helped by his arena. Relatively narrow room, tall ceiling, it all helps sell an illusion of Yhorm feeling way bigger than he is. If you fought him out in an open field in DS3, I doubt he'd feel as huge.
i played elden ring when it first came out and deleted it cuz i was shit. redownloaded it to make a berserk guts build and now i got 60 hours in the game and on the final boss for my first play through which is lowkey good.. i think but anyway play it bro trust it’s hard but so much environment and beauty i haven’t touched the game in a week or two been addicted to r6
50:05 This is extremely cinematic. Yhorm, on his knees from stance break, gets pounded by Rykard while burning skulls assail him, then he parries Rykard’s special attack, proceeds finish the fight with a move that looks like he’s beheading Rykard’s massive head.
The fights where they were evenly matched or almost so were super cool. Particularly Placidusax, Rykard, Godfrey, Fire Giant and Rhadahn. They felt like fair fights or fights were just their fighting style is what got them the win. It was also interesting though to see how insane the percentage based damage is in this game and how huge Yhorm’s stager potential is

Throughout the souls series I’d always wondered. Why do all the bosses slam their weapons into the ground? Wouldn’t the weapons get damaged? I wouldn’t want my stick getting dull and chipped. But after watching Radahn and Yhorm swing on each others ankles I realized that through the series, we’re the smallest, so they have to be programmed to be able to hit us. Y’all already knew this but it just hit me.
Just to add I’m a weapons enthusiast who makes and trains with them regularly. Being significantly taller than your opponent with also add a lot of force to an attack especially a heavy downward cut to the ground. They are aiming to kill you quick. As for the weapon bit you will keep coming and the bosses know this so care less about their weapon surviving and more discouraging you from coming back. Also well made swords are much more durable than you think. Especially all that thick metal. Swords are made to be beaten senselessly for years if maintained well even with lots of use. The blade will be fine but a quick resharpen and you are back at it. Plus swords can still cut somewhat like an axe when dull. Especially if they are the size of a small house.
The scale of Elden Ring bosses is crazy. I remember how huge Yorhm seemed in DS3 yet Radahn makes him seem a little small. It never truly occurred to me until they were side by side, much less the Fire Giant.
They really ramped up the boss sizes in Elden Ring it seems. Yhorm comes from a game where most of the bosses are around human sized, minus Midir and Ancient Wyvern, so it really is interesting seeing him in a world where being "giant" means something much larger.
@@blakechiles3628 yhorm is not that big in ds3 either, his posture, arena and camera angle make him look deceptively larger.

There’s also the ones that dwarf him like the Curse Rotted Greatwood, carthus sandworm, judicators, greater giants, Midir and Wolnir(this is the real mf giant)
Yhorm vs Fire Giant was one of those hypothetical battles that I really wanted to see and we finally got to see it actually happening. Also dayum, Godfrey has another giant added into his list of conquered giants.
Knowing how he did against the vast majority of the DS3 bosses in older videos across multiple channels, this is likely gonna be a massacre. Gonna enjoy watching this. Edit: I never get tired of seeing his execution slams. Went more or less as expected, with most of his losses being explained by health drain (looking at you Godskin Duo and Maliketh), Malenia's regen, and his player-focused animations (Placidusax in particular). Almost felt sorry for Mogh with Yhorm's fire and bleed immunities, as well as his heavy resistance to physical damage outside of headshots, it's like he was designed to counter him. Props to Godfrey/Hoarah Loux for getting a well-deserved win, has to keep his giant-slaying skills sharp after all.
@@AliensEatPeople He made for an underwhelming gimmick fight, but one hell of a fun bruiser for boss videos because of said traits. Boss v. boss content doesn't necessarily have to be balanced to be entertaining. Edit: Grammar and sentence structure.
@@jacobanderson8219 Maybe it's just me but I actually find Yhorm quite satisfying without Ruler. I usually bring him down to second phase with it and then finish him off with normal weapons.
@@jacobesterson Sounds like we're in the same boat in regards to the fight itself, main problem is that I like Siegward too much to not end up doing his quest, which usually means I end up with the vanilla experience anyhow.
Godfrey vs Yhorm was the coolest fight here, 2 absolute legend throwing hands, axe and cleaver at each other and being so evenly matched until Godfrey did a crit damage 😂😂
You know, it's almost like Yhorm is the sort of opponent Godrey is intended to fight. Kinda like Godfrey's fighting style was designed to take on a larger, slower but very powerful warrior.
@@s8theninjawarrior916 Yeah, but that's a semantic issue. Yhorm seems like a more fitting opponent for Godfrey than the actual Elden Ring giants would have been, is what I'm saying.
That first volcanic vacuum slice where yhorm is just starting to hit phase 2 tho... Staggers, looks up, and then comes out of the magma splash embered and ready to fu k shit up
@@djcj5640 yeah but like, by actual lore definition the Elden Ring bosses make Dark Souls bosses look weak in comparison. Yhorm would never realistically stand any chance against the Elden Ring Demigods.
@@AnotherVexium also, it seems most of the blast was fire damage, so it literally did nothing except for Radhan's body hitting him head on, which was just a measley 870 damage
13:53 Absolutely epic af!!! “… and with the last of his strength after a battle that lasted for eons, Yhorm threw his weight and all his strength into one final attack, that could have crushed a mountain, into the fiery giant of legend. The Fire Giant let out a moan that shook the entire range, clearing trees of snow for miles around, and was felled on the magma-covered slope, soon to be washed away in the fire that loosed the creature into existence. Yhorm, dizzy and exhausted from his battle, stood and regained his composure and eventually walked from the scene…”
Would it be difficult? Yhorm: If he got to his second phase then maybe Would he beat you? Yhorm: nah id win Surely fire giant is large, and has his protective shield, but in the end i alone am THE GIANT ONE
It was hilarious to watch honestly because Serpent/Rykard could hardly even hit Yhorm. The spacing on their attacks just wasn't working. He was standing too close and they were trying to hit further away.
@@NetherStray It doesn’t help that Rykard’s AI doesn’t seem to know what to do when an enemy gets too close. He just kinda sits there and takes it for a while until he decides to jump away and hope for the best.
It's at times like this, seeing a giant slam a massive cleaver onto a dragon's head over and over, that you start to wish Elden Ring had limb removal mechanics.
The Fire Giant: "You call thine self a Giant? To me thou art a mere Troll in finer garb!" Yhorm: "Harken, for I am Yhorm, Lord of Cinder, Governor of the Profaned Capital and Ward to the Profane Flame and you will crumble before me!"
Yah, Malenia wasn't having any of his non-stunnable cheazy-ness. Went up to him and cut him a new one. Placi's Lasers, Nihil, and Radahn's meteor attack did nothing to him.
@@thepro3729Just so you know Yhorm was one of the first bosses to have a stagger then ripostable state like in Elden Ring. This is just incorrect. He does however have a metric ton of poise.
I didn't really expect anything else from her tbh, she was literally sucking Yhorm's HP 'till getting it to 90% - 95%, if it's a player, then fine, but a boss? Waste of time
The thing that lets Yhorm win a lot of these fights, is his INSANE stagger damage. 100% facts. (Pretty funny seeing these giga level bosses get stun-locked tho ngl xD) (Edit: Also having IMMUNITY to all fire dmg is dumb dumb stupid crazy)
Also fight with Placidusax was closer than I thought. He is insanely mobile, has large damage radius and deals lightning damage(the only type Yhorm is weak to)
@@laurencevicar5798soul of cinder was hella buffed when he faced Maliketh. With original stats he would have been food for Maliketh like all ds3 bosses (except Midir in some scenarios)
@@s8theninjawarrior916 Gael and Sister Friede can also beat Maliketh. And I would imagine Aldrich could as well if he fired off his arrow rain before getting killed by DD.
Why yhorm is looking so smaller in front of the fire giant ? According to google, yhorm is 7 meter (approx.) and fire giant is 9 meter (approx.), it's not that much of a difference, then why ???
yhorm has fire resistance/immunity so meteor which does mostly fire damage has no effect on him(similar to how mohg can face tank that meteor due to him having 80% fire resistance).
Yhorm is a beast. I've fought him a few times without storm ruler, I kinda had an Idea how most of these fights would go. But it was funny to see his fire stomp knock Malenia around a bit, while it lasted XD.
@@MrGoul78What about Astel's gravity attack?! Cause that also didn't work, being resistant, doesn't mean it won't hurt. Mohg is fire resistant, but fire attacks still do little damage to him.
There’s something strange about watching Yhorm run into a library and without hesitation start beating up a woman and her kids.
Nothing too crazy. Seen real life videos of basically the same thing.

Explanation: Yhorm’s legs take reduced damage, his torso takes normal damage, and his head takes increased damage.
Ooooh!!! That's a neat detail. That explains why the holy fire did so much...
He's also totally immune to fire damage. The burn effect from blackflame is a percentage of hp and so has no damage type, which is why it messed him up so badly.
So that's why storm ruler deals a ton of damage to him, it hit almost all his body
His hand that holds the machete takes the most damage by far
ive fought Yorm without stormruler before and it's actually pretty fun
His head just gets destroyed when you stagger and knock him down
I was NOT prepare to see Yhorm get picked up by Godfrey.

That should not work. Yhorm wouldn’t allow it.

50:23 Yhorm looks like he parries Rykard lol.
it looks cool tho
Knowing how he did against the vast majority of the DS3 bosses in older videos across multiple channels, this is likely gonna be a massacre. Gonna enjoy watching this.
Edit: I never get tired of seeing his execution slams. Went more or less as expected, with most of his losses being explained by health drain (looking at you Godskin Duo and Maliketh), Malenia's regen, and his player-focused animations (Placidusax in particular). Almost felt sorry for Mogh with Yhorm's fire and bleed immunities, as well as his heavy resistance to physical damage outside of headshots, it's like he was designed to counter him. Props to Godfrey/Hoarah Loux for getting a well-deserved win, has to keep his giant-slaying skills sharp after all.
Yeah because you need the little special weapon to do actual dmg to him.
@@AliensEatPeople He made for an underwhelming gimmick fight, but one hell of a fun bruiser for boss videos because of said traits. Boss v. boss content doesn't necessarily have to be balanced to be entertaining. Edit: Grammar and sentence structure.
@@jacobanderson8219 Maybe it's just me but I actually find Yhorm quite satisfying without Ruler. I usually bring him down to second phase with it and then finish him off with normal weapons.
@@jacobesterson Sounds like we're in the same boat in regards to the fight itself, main problem is that I like Siegward too much to not end up doing his quest, which usually means I end up with the vanilla experience anyhow.
@@AliensEatPeople you didnt see the godfrey fight lol
Yhorm's Great Machete was my absolute favorite weapon in the Dark Souls series ❤️
Something badass about Yhorm slowly walking through Radahns barrage of arrows before charging at him.
My man Morgott could not BREATHE with Yhorm breaking his stance on every hit lmao
Godfrey vs Yhorm was the coolest fight here, 2 absolute legend throwing hands, axe and cleaver at each other and being so evenly matched until Godfrey did a crit damage 😂😂
You know, it's almost like Yhorm is the sort of opponent Godrey is intended to fight. Kinda like Godfrey's fighting style was designed to take on a larger, slower but very powerful warrior.
@@RelativelyBest Kinda like giants?😂😂 who he killed during the war against the giants😂
@@s8theninjawarrior916 Nah, Elden Ring giants were clearly much larger than Yhorm.
@@RelativelyBest well no shit but he's still called a giant😅
@@s8theninjawarrior916 Yeah, but that's a semantic issue. Yhorm seems like a more fitting opponent for Godfrey than the actual Elden Ring giants would have been, is what I'm saying.
The ending to the Rykard vs Yorm fight was insanely cinematic, my god
That first volcanic vacuum slice where yhorm is just starting to hit phase 2 tho...
Staggers, looks up, and then comes out of the magma splash embered and ready to fu k shit up
21:11 Placidusax was so close to completing his nuke attack, but he was staggered before he could😭, yet Yhorm still lost🤣. But, the video is so good!☺
The battle of the giants was FIRE BRO
LITERALLY-
Yhorm clutching out Fire Giant shows us why he is the GOAT
He is giant not only in body, but also in spirit.
I mean he was king of the giants for a reason
@@djcj5640 yeah but like, by actual lore definition the Elden Ring bosses make Dark Souls bosses look weak in comparison. Yhorm would never realistically stand any chance against the Elden Ring Demigods.
Only to then be killed by the giant slayer godfrey tho😢
Yhorm is so small but more tanky somehow
Radahns meteor tickled yhorm 💀
The blast hit Yhorm in the legs which is where his highest resistance is.
@@AnotherVexium also, it seems most of the blast was fire damage, so it literally did nothing except for Radhan's body hitting him head on, which was just a measley 870 damage
13:53
Absolutely epic af!!!
“… and with the last of his strength after a battle that lasted for eons, Yhorm threw his weight and all his strength into one final attack, that could have crushed a mountain, into the fiery giant of legend. The Fire Giant let out a moan that shook the entire range, clearing trees of snow for miles around, and was felled on the magma-covered slope, soon to be washed away in the fire that loosed the creature into existence. Yhorm, dizzy and exhausted from his battle, stood and regained his composure and eventually walked from the scene…”
🤓
Nga shut up ☠️☠️☠️☠️☠️☠️☠️☠️ bros having fantasies over a video
fire giant put up a hell of a fight against the 50 skeletons in that battle
Would it be difficult?
Yhorm: If he got to his second phase then maybe
Would he beat you?
Yhorm: nah id win
Surely fire giant is large, and has his protective shield, but in the end i alone am THE GIANT ONE
@@Hideyourtoes_miyazakiyes! Keep going! Oh oh oh
32:23 yorm: quit that yappen
Rahdahn: WITNESS MY METOER BLAST
yhorm: tis nothing but a scatch
Yeesh, Rykard’s fight was surprisingly close given Yhorm’s fire resistance.
He's completely immune to normal fire damage, stuff like the Blackflame DoT is calculated differently.
@@jacobanderson8219 Makes the fight even closer, then.
It was hilarious to watch honestly because Serpent/Rykard could hardly even hit Yhorm. The spacing on their attacks just wasn't working. He was standing too close and they were trying to hit further away.
@@NetherStray It doesn’t help that Rykard’s AI doesn’t seem to know what to do when an enemy gets too close. He just kinda sits there and takes it for a while until he decides to jump away and hope for the best.
@@jacobanderson8219 How is Blackflame calculated?
It's at times like this, seeing a giant slam a massive cleaver onto a dragon's head over and over, that you start to wish Elden Ring had limb removal mechanics.
50:20
Rykard : any last word yhorm
Yhorm : nah, i'd win
Weebs trynna make an irrelevant quote fit in a random spot 😭😭
Funny because if that hit actually landed Rykard probably would have won
Straight up looks like he parried him
@@tinytitanmc1276 for real
I never realized that Radahn is as large, if not larger and taller than Yhorm. Crazy what a boss room does to perspective.
The Fire Giant:
"You call thine self a Giant? To me thou art a mere Troll in finer garb!"
Yhorm:
"Harken, for I am Yhorm, Lord of Cinder, Governor of the Profaned Capital and Ward to the Profane Flame and you will crumble before me!"
35:56 that frustration in Yhorm's hits, he already knew that Godfrey was made differently.
Malenia finished the fight without using Waterfowl Dance once, that's rare. I kinda expect her to win with full health as well.
Yah, Malenia wasn't having any of his non-stunnable cheazy-ness. Went up to him and cut him a new one. Placi's Lasers, Nihil, and Radahn's meteor attack did nothing to him.
@@thepro3729Just so you know Yhorm was one of the first bosses to have a stagger then ripostable state like in Elden Ring. This is just incorrect. He does however have a metric ton of poise.
@@Zanemob almost everything true, but he wasn't "one of the first", because every non-Hunter Boss in Bloodborne works this way.
I didn't really expect anything else from her tbh, she was literally sucking Yhorm's HP 'till getting it to 90% - 95%, if it's a player, then fine, but a boss? Waste of time
@@thepro3729 pretty sure they forgot to give yorm any stats regarding bleed seeing how mohg never procced it once.
This is the first time a fight against fire giant was interesting and damn was it great
Elden Beast: I have a lot soldiers, legends, demigods on my command, what you have?
Soul of Cinder: We Have Yhorm
Bro fr
I love how Astel just looked up at him from the ground like "please, mercy!"
Godfrey: "So uhh...You are a pretty big guy..."
Yhorm: "Yes...I am a giant...."
Godfrey: "Did you say....Giant?"
Godfrey's racism is kicking in
How a ranger feels when their favored species to fight is finally in a battle
One more time Great Work mate , Love Yhorm.
He can withstand a meteor to the back but dies to a mild breeze. What a legend.
"Only a storm can fell a greatwood"
-Ds3 quote
The battle of Godrick cutting to his cutscene letting out his "I am in great danger" scream gotta be the funniest thing I've seen today
Conclusion: a lot of things other than storm can fell a giant.
"pfft he doesn't know blackfire" chuckles godskin.
"pfft hehehe" the nourished godskin chuckled back with an ominous smirk.
I've been waiting for this video for 1000 years.
7:48
Yhorm: "Dad, its that you?"
Really interesting to notice that the black flame is the only affective element against Yhorm in Elden Ring, the same thing that killed Iji
The thing that lets Yhorm win a lot of these fights, is his INSANE stagger damage.
100% facts.
(Pretty funny seeing these giga level bosses get stun-locked tho ngl xD)
(Edit: Also having IMMUNITY to all fire dmg is dumb dumb stupid crazy)
Long may the sun shine on this lord of cinder \[-]/
\[^-^]/
That shot of yhorm with the moon behind him and his eye shining red looks so cool
Yhorm is so sick!! Pontiff would also be cool
That Fire Giant fight was epic!
Can you import aldrich? I wanna see if elden ring bosses can tank that arrow attack
so now we know that SoC, Yhorm and Maliketh are now like rock, paper and scissors.
Also fight with Placidusax was closer than I thought. He is insanely mobile, has large damage radius and deals lightning damage(the only type Yhorm is weak to)
@@laurencevicar5798soul of cinder was hella buffed when he faced Maliketh. With original stats he would have been food for Maliketh like all ds3 bosses (except Midir in some scenarios)
@@s8theninjawarrior916 Gael and Sister Friede can also beat Maliketh. And I would imagine Aldrich could as well if he fired off his arrow rain before getting killed by DD.
@@s8theninjawarrior916yeah...except he did better than bosses with much better stats. That's the point.
Also 50% is not that big of a buff if you ask me
16:40 the way maliketh dodges that is sick!
That was very smooth
Why yhorm is looking so smaller in front of the fire giant ?
According to google, yhorm is 7 meter (approx.) and fire giant is 9 meter (approx.), it's not that much of a difference, then why ???
Even Yhorm himself could handle the bulls*** of the godskin duo.
Isn’t it funny how Yhorm is immune to fire, but the blackflame still damages him.
i don't think i have seen a worst Radahn metioer
Right? 870 is basically nothing I've seen it hit for like 12k before
It doesn't worth much against someone immune to fire
yhorm has fire resistance/immunity so meteor which does mostly fire damage has no effect on him(similar to how mohg can face tank that meteor due to him having 80% fire resistance).
The meteor deals strike and fire damage, which he is extremely resistant to and immune to respectively
@@iamthereddemon20 well yhorm is resistant to everything but lighting and he takes less dmg on the legs and arms
“That thing was too big to be called a sword.
Too big, too thick, too heavy, and too rough, it was more like a large hunk of iron.”
Yhorm is a beast. I've fought him a few times without storm ruler, I kinda had an Idea how most of these fights would go. But it was funny to see his fire stomp knock Malenia around a bit, while it lasted XD.
First im seeing of this dude and hes already at the top of my list of coolest characters lol
How? All bro does is slam that giant cleaver into the dirt over and over. The golems in Elden Ring have better movesets lmao
0:45 the way he screams and is hunched over and then immediately cuts away is like a brain rotted family guy cutaway gag lmao
Most bosses really have no way of dealing with his huge health pool, but raddahn did really well, also why did placidusax's beam do nothing?
Because it's fire and Yhorm is immune to fire damage
@@MrGoul78What about Astel's gravity attack?! Cause that also didn't work, being resistant, doesn't mean it won't hurt. Mohg is fire resistant, but fire attacks still do little damage to him.
Skill issue
@@GoneBoi99Yhorm is not resistant to fire, he's completely immune to fire damage
@@donjandel Oh, I didn't know that!
