The most impressive part of this showcase is undoubtedly the incorporation of backsteps into some of your dodge methods. I haven’t seen a single person use them, whether it be through normal gameplay or even for theatrics like this. Kudos my man. 👍
They’re really useful, especially if your weapon is a slash type sometimes the stepback attack or crouch attack (they do the same attack) you do a thrust attack on some weapons which is kinda good and saved my ass countless times, I’m really surprised that you barely see that lol
@@Jiibayaabooz I'm not saying backstepping is a hidden gem that I'm shocked nobody uses, I'm saying that I'm impressed by OP for incorporating a clunky and nonviable tech into a video because it looks good. Backsteps are just bad, period. Ofc there are very niche uses such as canceling charged attacks on a very limited set of weapons, but they demand you stop all input on your joystick, only to travel less distance than a roll and have no s doing it. They interfere with normal gameplay far too much and give nothing in return.
Everything about this video is just perfect. Gehrman is one of my favorite boss of all time. The way you use his cutscene, voicelines, and especially his OST! Thank you so much for doing this! you're one of a kind :)
@@SmvR Wouldn't it make sense to have something to represent his scythe untransformed? I assume the closest would be something like Beastman Curved Sword.
can you explain to me what you find so creative to call it 'most creative'. I found her a very generic katana build boss. (phase 2 a bit more ''monster like' but still mhe.) I liked 'Gehrman, the First Hunter' from bloodborn more interesting to fight. Honest question. I just don't see it.

The fight looks really great and me saying I'm impressed and amazed is such and understatement but her tracking seemed so... off ? Perhaps there's something in her fight that I do not know of.
@@PEEK-A-BOO101 I've seen other players dodge it the same way that this person did it. It seems that the attack tracks the direction you're moving and locks on to a spot slightly in front of where you're walking, which is probably why you felt like it always tracked you really well. However, once the attack is locked to that position, you're free to turn around and move away, and it won't track you anymore. So as long as you know the timing on when it locks and then walk in the opposite direction, you can easily get out of its range. Check out the videos by Ongbal and Let Me Solo Her, they do it pretty much the same way. She readies the attack, they walk a bit in one direction, then change direction right before she starts her descent.
The pure desperation of Malenia at 2:30 with spamming that one combo yet still hitting nothing but air almost made me feel some kind of compassion towards her. Almost.
Confirmed! Gehrman is the most badass boss in Elden Soulsborne games. I always thought it was the most badass line when Gehrman stood up from his chair and says: "Tonight, Gehrman joins the hunt" and proceeds to ragdoll our asses. Imagine this man during his prime.

Even now, Gehrman's theme applies both ways, Malenia trying to free Gehrmam from the Moon Presence, and Gehrman trying to free Malenia from the outer god of rot
Bloodhound Step would've looked good on Gehrman though seeing as how he, lorewise, mastered the arcane to dodge F A S T without the use of the Hunter's Bone
Beating NG+7 with NG stats. Smvr on any game he plays is a league of his own. Some congratulations are in order, but for you is just a routine at this point! 👏
Timing her transformation with the crescendo of Gehrman's song is amazing. This is an amazing video you've constructed, and your gameplay isn't bad either. Well done man.
This is one of the best souls gameplay videos ive ever seen. Props to you for pulling this off Also small thing i appreciate is you not overusing the Gehrman grunt sound effects for the moves 🙏
my guy, that calm, almost comforting bloodborne ost hit when the flower blooms, followed by the simultaneous hit of the choir and the reveal of malenia's second form was CINEMATIC GENIUS
This was absolutely mind blowing loved everything about it his cutscene his attack grunts and especially the ost perfect on every level man well done someone needs to tag Max please I'd really think he'd like to see this
Gehrman's score with Malenia's second phase cutscene is in my experience LITERALLY breathtaking and my jaw was WIDE fuckin open, my body actually stopped me from breathing for like 10 seconds involuntarily I thought it was THAT stunning and perfect, as for the fight itself, perfection ❤️🔥
Same, gave me goosebumps. It fits so incredibly well its absolutely beautiful. I don't get how people can play these games without the music. So integral to the storytelling of the fight.
@@danielfuentes2999 Ghermans theme is nice of course but it really doesn’t wether you like it or not🤷♂️. It’s nowhere near the the grandeur and illustrious yet pained nature of Malenias theme. There is also timing isssues but of course it was just edited in and it wasn’t designed for the cutscene. Either way Malenia and her theme completely outclasses him and his.
Fantastic work. Bloodborne is my favorite game of all time and your portrayal of Gehrman is fantastic. Grave scythe fits it perfectly. Gained a new subscriber from me
I knew the key yo avoiding malenia flurry was to roll into it, but I couldn't repeatedly pull it off, so I went for the "run for your life" method instead
I kinda do half and half. I run for my life for the first part, then dodge into it for the second, then dodge around her for the third to mess with the tracking.
@@zsDUGGZ same, she just ALWAYS activates it when I'm about to attack her, so running isn't an option. Also you gotta turn off auto target or else it will fuck with your roll direction.
Bloodborne's ost will always be the best Fromsoft has ever produced. There's just an intensity to a real orchestra that can't be replicated artificially.
I can't help but think that this could be canon, but in this way: 7:19 "Your strength... Extraordinary.... The mark of a true lord." There's a hint of peace in the air, the battle has ended. Gehrman looks upon the corpse of Malenia as it begins to shift and writhe. It's visage becoming pale, it's limbs elongate, and the wings become a razor-like piece of gore. It looks at Gehrman, begins to cry, then releases a horrible shriek from it's maw as KOS strikes Gehrman's heart with lightning. Gehrman is shaken awake from his nightmare, and is shunted back into the Hunter's Dream. "Oh.. Laurence... Master Willem... Somebody, please help me. Unshackle me, please anybody. I've had enough of this dream... The night blocks all sight... Oh, somebody, please..." *Gehrman breaks into tears.*
...why did you have to remind me of probably some of my favorite voice acting, yet saddest, in Fromsoft history...and why is your comment so well constructed... aaah cant be mad at ya
@@Akario3 I reminded you because Gehrman to this day stands as my favorite FromSoftware character. The reason as to why my comment is so well constructed is because I have an extremely active imagination that loves to dream up exciting, melancholic, and beautiful imagery. But the real reason for all of this... Is because I just popped all my "Madman's Knowledge"! Gimme that sweet, sweet insight baybeeee!
This video was so cool I decided to beat her with a scythe and crossbow. Took me so many attemps but I finally got it thanks to you. I learned all the dodge timings from you and yea very inspring video
"Dear, oh, dear, what was it? The hunt, the blood, or the horrible dream? Oh, it doesn't matter. It always comes down to the hunters' helper to clean up after these sorts of messes. Tonight, Gehrman joins the hunt."
I'd like to think Gehrman's little teabag dance at the end was something he learned from the younger hunters, and he started crouch walking at the end because he cramped up his old legs.
2:50 - 3:04 is beautiful from an audio visual standpoint. The music and how hopeful it sounds, both illustrates Malenia’s struggle to defend her brother, and Gerhman’s (while still having no hesitation) doubts about all of this. Probably thinking about how pointless the whole fight is, and realizing there is an outer god watching and laughing. Like he could have known her in a past life as a friend, but it’s just how things work. The way the hopeful music cuts off too, gorgeous timing
Gosh, now I wanna see Lady Maria vs Malenia 😅 Also, it’s so weird how Gerhman’s theme kinda fit with Malenia’s transformation, haha. It works when you consider that she literally abandoned her will to that Rot god…kinda like how Gerhman had been a puppet for the Moon Presence. Maybe the two can relate :(
Does make me wonder how the hunters would fare against the demigods in Elden Ring, lore-wise, given their ability to stand up to and face the Great Ones, who are literal eldritch gods.

Beating NG+7 with NG stats. Smvr on any game he plays is a league of his own. Some congratulations are in order, but for you is just a routine at this point! 👏
Doesn't the difficulty stop rising after the third new game+?
@@Stefantius NG +7 is the highest just like in every other Souls game. After that the difficulty will not increase
...isnt hes stanima higher? i dont see it go down much
He’s clearly cheating though
@@lewispooper3138lol how? Explain how
Melenia: Why isn't my boss music playing?!
Gehrman: *laughs*
“You will witness true horror”
Gehrman, a man who has been trapped inside of a dream for years:
Timing her transformation with the crescendo of Gehrman's song is amazing. This is an amazing video you've constructed, and your gameplay isn't bad either. Well done man.
This is one of the best souls gameplay videos ive ever seen. Props to you for pulling this off
Also small thing i appreciate is you not overusing the Gehrman grunt sound effects for the moves 🙏
That’s good to hear! Thank you
I'm so glad you used Gehrman's OST for this. Never fails to bring tears to my eyes.
"i am malenia, and I've never known defeat."
Gerhman : " hold my doll"
You know your the boss when your OST starts playing...
Had to re-upload. Accidentally uploaded draft 🗿
my guy, that calm, almost comforting bloodborne ost hit when the flower blooms, followed by the simultaneous hit of the choir and the reveal of malenia's second form was CINEMATIC GENIUS
This was absolutely mind blowing loved everything about it his cutscene his attack grunts and especially the ost perfect on every level man well done someone needs to tag Max please I'd really think he'd like to see this
Malenia: *You will witness true horror..*
Gehrman "So it's just Tuesday''
Malenia: “You will witness true horror”
Gherman: I take it you’ve never met a skeleton with a bunch of tentacles attached to it.
I really appreciate the fact that you put the sounds Gehrman makes. Very entertaining to watch!
Great fight,ggs!
Finally Melania awake from her nightmare, the stagger finishing looks so BB related, like Gehrman execution
Dang dude, these are some real skills! This should have millions of views specially with RL120 on NG+7 and with your base vigor!
That was amazing, a joy to watch, and she's so incredible that killing her feels like killing the last unicorn.
Gehrman's score with Malenia's second phase cutscene is in my experience LITERALLY breathtaking and my jaw was WIDE fuckin open, my body actually stopped me from breathing for like 10 seconds involuntarily I thought it was THAT stunning and perfect, as for the fight itself, perfection ❤️🔥
Same, gave me goosebumps. It fits so incredibly well its absolutely beautiful. I don't get how people can play these games without the music. So integral to the storytelling of the fight.
It doesn't fit, the tones of the OST and cutscene don't match.
@@trashagent9304 it absolutely does idk what you're talkin about lol
@@danielfuentes2999 Ghermans theme is nice of course but it really doesn’t wether you like it or not🤷♂️. It’s nowhere near the the grandeur and illustrious yet pained nature of Malenias theme. There is also timing isssues but of course it was just edited in and it wasn’t designed for the cutscene. Either way Malenia and her theme completely outclasses him and his.
@@arryn786 so you're saying it doesn't fit because you like hers better 🤨.
Bro did very high quality as always at the highest level I wish this video to get at least 1 million views .
The editing for this video is amazing. I enjoyed the dedication to the build.
Malenia:”You will witness true horror…”
Gerhman:”You have no idea…”
Definitely the most creative and enjoyable to watch cosplays I've seen on Elden Ring so far. This was a joy to watch.
Love the fact that the Merchants sometimes will play Gehrman's Theme acoustic. Its a subtle nod but the light implications give me chills.
The addition of the music and sound effects are S-Tier. Absolutely amazing job.
Fantastic work. Bloodborne is my favorite game of all time and your portrayal of Gehrman is fantastic. Grave scythe fits it perfectly. Gained a new subscriber from me
I knew the key yo avoiding malenia flurry was to roll into it, but I couldn't repeatedly pull it off, so I went for the "run for your life" method instead
I kinda do half and half. I run for my life for the first part, then dodge into it for the second, then dodge around her for the third to mess with the tracking.
@@zsDUGGZ same, she just ALWAYS activates it when I'm about to attack her, so running isn't an option. Also you gotta turn off auto target or else it will fuck with your roll direction.
Man the OST of bloodborne is on another level.
still the greatest game made by Fromsoft
Gehrman: "I have felled cosmic horrors beyond comprehension before"
How's nobody talking about how beautiful this fight is with that soundtrack?
Bloodborne's ost will always be the best Fromsoft has ever produced. There's just an intensity to a real orchestra that can't be replicated artificially.
I forgot how glorious Gherman's theme be. Thank you man
"Ah, Gehrman. A Hoonter should hoont Beasts. Leave the hoonting of Hoonters to me."
- Eileen, after watching this Video.
i expected bloodhound step....but this...does bring a smile to my face
(also holly hell, you were not even fast rolling...absurdly good timing)
"may you witness true horror"
Gehrman: little girl...I've seen worse.
I can't help but think that this could be canon, but in this way:
7:19
"Your strength... Extraordinary.... The mark of a true lord."
There's a hint of peace in the air, the battle has ended. Gehrman looks upon the corpse of Malenia as it begins to shift and writhe. It's visage becoming pale, it's limbs elongate, and the wings become a razor-like piece of gore.
It looks at Gehrman, begins to cry, then releases a horrible shriek from it's maw as KOS strikes Gehrman's heart with lightning.
Gehrman is shaken awake from his nightmare, and is shunted back into the Hunter's Dream.
"Oh.. Laurence... Master Willem... Somebody, please help me. Unshackle me, please anybody. I've had enough of this dream... The night blocks all sight... Oh, somebody, please..."
*Gehrman breaks into tears.*
...why did you have to remind me of probably some of my favorite voice acting, yet saddest, in Fromsoft history...and why is your comment so well constructed... aaah cant be mad at ya
@@Akario3
I reminded you because Gehrman to this day stands as my favorite FromSoftware character. The reason as to why my comment is so well constructed is because I have an extremely active imagination that loves to dream up exciting, melancholic, and beautiful imagery.
But the real reason for all of this... Is because I just popped all my "Madman's Knowledge"! Gimme that sweet, sweet insight baybeeee!
Cringe

Big Cringe
@@darylhearth14 glad you agree :))
That Bloom cinematic with the musical timing. Just beautiful:)
Okay, first we had LMSH, and now we have Gehrman.
Imagine being lucky enough to summon both because holy shit was this clean
Malenia: you will witness true horror.
Gehrman: Oh my dear, I am horror!
Malenia death dialogue with Gehrman theme went really so well
This video was so cool I decided to beat her with a scythe and crossbow. Took me so many attemps but I finally got it thanks to you. I learned all the dodge timings from you and yea very inspring video
the addes SFX of Gehrman's voice gives this video that extra tick of perfection.
We are born of the blood, made men by the blood, and undone by the blood... Our eyes are yet to open.
Amazing as always, well done.
Anyone can eventually master a boss, but the art of mixing skill with stylish edits like this is rare. Simply sublime.
"Dear, oh, dear, what was it? The hunt, the blood, or the horrible dream? Oh, it doesn't matter. It always comes down to the hunters' helper to clean up after these sorts of messes. Tonight, Gehrman joins the hunt."
“You will witness true horror”
“Already ‘ave mate!”
This Has to be your best video of course all of them are perfect but this is a work of art. Can't wait for you destroying Asgard in GoW Ragnarok
I'd like to think Gehrman's little teabag dance at the end was something he learned from the younger hunters, and he started crouch walking at the end because he cramped up his old legs.
An incredible video! I had goosebumps all along!
The back step spacing to imitate the dodge mechanic is a nice touch
2:50 - 3:04 is beautiful from an audio visual standpoint. The music and how hopeful it sounds, both illustrates Malenia’s struggle to defend her brother, and Gerhman’s (while still having no hesitation) doubts about all of this. Probably thinking about how pointless the whole fight is, and realizing there is an outer god watching and laughing. Like he could have known her in a past life as a friend, but it’s just how things work. The way the hopeful music cuts off too, gorgeous timing
The way you synced up The First Hunter theme with her transformation was delicious 👌
you sir, are a god.
the cosplay,music,editing...lvl 120, no cheese, absolute perfection.💀
*Sees Melania's Second Phase*
Gehrman: Poor girl... I shall show you mercy.
Great video, great fight, great build. Now we can only pray for Bloodborne re-make or Bloodborne 2
I’d settle for a 60 fps Ps5 update at this point. And if there’s a remake they need to make blood gems less tedious to get.
That was really cool. Thx for sharing that. I love the Gehrman audio yelling and grunting. He is the Monica Seles of hunters.
I guess Gerhman was actually Let Me Solo Her all along
Got his voice and some of his action grunts too. Love it.
Kratos, Vergil, Gehrman... These cameos are amazing.
God, the *goosebumps* when the chorus kicked on Malenia's second phase is just pure perfection in every sense.
The nostalgia almost made me cry 😭 youre such a legend
Gosh, now I wanna see Lady Maria vs Malenia 😅
Also, it’s so weird how Gerhman’s theme kinda fit with Malenia’s transformation, haha. It works when you consider that she literally abandoned her will to that Rot god…kinda like how Gerhman had been a puppet for the Moon Presence. Maybe the two can relate :(
Everybody laughs until Gehrman regrows his leg.
Does make me wonder how the hunters would fare against the demigods in Elden Ring, lore-wise, given their ability to stand up to and face the Great Ones, who are literal eldritch gods.
