Elden Ring / Astel, Naturalborn of the Void / Ng+7 / No-Hit

Build shown at the end.
Where do I even begin. This boss brought me so much pain I thought I was at rennala again. To start off his grab is just awful. The problem with it is that the hitbox does not line up with the animation at all (you can roll through him and STILL get hit) and that you have to rotate your whole camera within a second or so to find out where he is in the first place, otherwise you've been grabbed. His other moves are decent, I guess. It uses some of the moves the fallingstar beast used as well (technically they're the same but nvm that). The waves of darkness attack discourages staying behind him, which I guess is to prevent him dying in like 5 seconds. His other attacks are also usually big aoe's, which I dont like, because it forces me to either roll backwards and drag the fight out, or roll inwards and accept that the camera shows me those beautiful explosions behind me and obscures my vision. Simply amazing. Phase 2 gives him like 2 new moves. 1 of them is the meteorite he keeps spamming, which looks cool the first time, until you find out that he spams is over and over again. The other move is his clone grab, which works a bit better since you only have to run towards the light, but he never does it. I think he only does it if you've been grabbed before, honestly. I had been baiting out that attack for maybe 5 minutes on one failed attempt and he just refused to do it. Oh well.
Next time, we go to a hidden part in Liurnia. Until then.
