"This accursed disease may find no purchase upon my flesh, for in my time as Chieftain of the Badlands my mother instructed me well: 'Young Hoarah', she was keen on saying, 'Thou must consume PLENTY OF MILK'. The feeble blessing of thy putrescent god is paltry when compared to THE STRONG MILK OF MINE MOTHER." -Godfrey, First Elden Lord upon tanking Malenia's Aeonian Bloom without flinching
So good to see a BvB fight where Hoarah Loux gets his grabs. Malenia's grab is super powerful but is hardly central to her fighting. For Hoarah, fighting him without grabs enabled is semi-crippling.
@@RadishHead7 It's not a "gimmick", it's an integral part of her kit. That's like saying "hoarah's grabs get taken away and now he loses kek". Very stupid comment.
As it turned out, Godfrey's most powerful move was not even his grabs, but his ground shaking, which inflicts multiple ticks of damage on opponents without i-frames, like Radahn's meteor and Lady Maria's nuke.
@@susancronshaw4267 Yes after the 3rd bloom Malenia reached the level of Goddess of Rot capable of replacing Marika as Vessel of the Elden Ring in the name of the Outer God of Rot.
@@susancronshaw4267 I think Malenia is already a goddess just hasn't achieve his true goddess form yet cause we've yet to see her bloom for the 3rd time.
Godfrey, according to the opening cutscene, is one of the Tarnisheds who was awakened by the Greater Will and endowed with its grace, while, according to the Fingers reader, the Greater Will abandoned the demigods long ago. It's no big deal for an Tarnisheds to kill a demigod who wields the Great Rune, given that it's a requirement for the Round Table to accept them into its ranks.
@@Xgenstudioz777 Yet Enia says this upon gathering your second great rune: “I had my doubts, but...my, look at you. Only once before have I seen two Great Runes together. Look there. The Fingers shudder with exuberance… Fingers: “Now, seek the Erdtree, and an audience with Queen Marika. To become Elden Lord, and restore the Golden Order." The Fingers expect... As much from you as they do young Gideon.” This heavily implies the only other person who has gathered 2 great runes in the round table hold is Gideon so it is a pretty big deal.
Actually, after fighting radahn, Malenia was out cold and was going to lay there and die to the rot, but Cleanrot Knight Finlay CARRIED her all the way back, "fending off all manner of foes along the way" It's in the description text for Finlays spirit ashes Edit: I realized I misread your comment and mine is irrelevant, but I'll leave it for the cool info. My bad.
The person that made this video probably lowered the lifesteal value to some insignificant value instead of eliminating it completely. In whatever tool kit the creator is using, the latter is probably harder to do.
On past fromsoft games the enemy used what they dropped. An example from bloodborne is the bloody crow of Cainhorst using the rapture rune so if he visceralled you, he would recover health. Malenias rune gives the rally mechanic from bloodborne. Even though her health drained on the bar. In reality it's still there but needs to be recovered quickly.
I imagine him using his bare hands to tear through Scarlet Aeonia's petals, reaching in to grab her inside, then *YEET*-ing her into the stratosphere. Truly a god among men.
@@picallo1 Probably, but who can say? This is Hourah "I suplex Fire Giants and use Placidusax's spare heads as jumping ropes" Loux. If any mortal man could survive a point-blank Scarlet Aeonia, it'd be him.
@@picallo1 That's because of a technical issue From Software faced during production that gave Malenia 3X more of every stat they intended for her. So nerfing her down to 1/3rd in health, damage, poise, and life steal, would actually be the intended experience, because there's no way From intended for a boss that's about halfway up the scale of power lore wise to be stronger than bosses all the way at the top.
@@TheStraightestWhitest I have to call BS on this one. If Malenia had those stats divided by three, it would be a formality to fight her. Her stats and difficulty seem very consistent with the lore and the fact she's a "hidden" boss
Malenia’s grab attack is so cursed, but at least it means GoE has achieved the herculean task of having grabs that work on non-tarnished enemies. That’s something not even Fromsoft could do for years!
@@prehistoriccreator9600 That would have been a lot of extra work for not that big of a change. Development already took a while / was probably pretty expensive so it makes sense they cut niche corners like this.
Now, we need Malenia vs Mohg: Malenia's grab works on Mohg Mohg's Curse Rings, and 'Nihil' phase transition both work on Malenia The ultimate battle for Miquella.
If I recall correctly, there was a video where Mohg's transition attack affected other bosses. It annihilated all of them because it's coded to do at least 100% of total health. And I thought Malenia's healing was nonsense.
the part I like most about Boss vs Boss is that it's not only a test of strength, but it's also cinematic as fuck in some areas, which makes it even better overall they do feel just a little unfair sometimes, but Godfrey here held up very nicely in the 2nd and 3rd rounds, proud of the lad
He's got better poise, per-hit damage, and poise damage than Melania as well as some brutal AoE attacks, so yeah if he can grab hold of the momentum he can stack up a lot of damage on her. Unfortunately for him, since bosses aren't programmed to dodge as effectively as players, if her regen is up she can regain lost health pretty quickly if she gets one of her combos going. It is kinda unfair, in that her regen works very well against a boss' tendency to trade hits rather than evade, but it's hardly unexpected when you pit a hidden boss against a main one.
4:54 Ah yes, it al makes sense now, if Malenia could be stunned from Scarlet Aeonian, then the incantation Scarlet Aeonian not having any hyper armor makes sense.
Godfrey is, imo, one of the most fun fights in the game. He's not crazy hard, but the flow of the fight is nice. He keeps you moving, and isn't too aggressive like some bosses.
I feel like he gets a little stupid after ng+ 3 or so, but I generally agree. Then again, pretty much everything gets a little stupid after ng+ 3. So many of the main bosses can conceivably two shot you by that point, and that's at 60 vig.
he's stupidly hard. of course it is subjective, I had more trouble against him and in the tree sentinel in front of Maliketh more than Malenia. Maliketh is the bane of my existence lol.
@@kaiserdetectivegolden2735 Malenia can slash her 2 meter long sword made of pure gold like 50 times in 5 seconds, I think she can throw a large human with one hand lmfao
@@kaiserdetectivegolden2735 Malenia regularly wears armor made of pure gold, and swings a solid gold katana at incredible speeds. Also, if we're talking logic, Godfrey dies as soon as he tries to grab the Goddess of Rot through her Aeonia.
I think what I enjoy most about these BvB videos is when they include character dialogue and it´s all done really thematically also I never would have though that one would be able to enable these grab attacks in such a stylish fashion
7:03 THIS is how I imagine the fight between Radahn and Malenia must have ended according to the intro cutscene and the lore of the first time blooming of the aeonia flower. only Radahn didn't die
Radhan idolizes Godfrey so much that his whole armour is based on him, Godfrey was the strongest in his Prime. Even he would survive that attack Lore-wise. I'm not sure if he can take out the full-conscious goddess of rot though, because she collapsed after blooming while fighting Radhan. After all her power came from an outer god, it's hardly her strength.
Godfrey is such a chad -he keep fighting to the end knowing he was gonna die anyway -he grabbed malenia during both waterfowl and scarlet aeonia -he doesn't care about malenia's bullshit and still goes for the grabs -he fights bare hands with no armor against the goddess of rot It might have been a tied, but Godfrey wins 100% as overall best performance
The amazing thing is that even if Godfrey is weaker than malenia, he is a human, meanwhile malenia is a demigod, also he doesn't use any kind of power, despite being Elden Lord which means he can use Erdtree incantations, he fights with a broken axe, and then with his bare hands, meanwhile malenia needs the rot of an outer god to beat him, Godfrey is literal Gigachad!
@@Lepoetism cough Serosh cough Anyway saying that Godfrey is weaker just because he loses in a cheated fight made by a fan on a youtube video is the dumbest shit ever.
The ending of the third battle is just too poetic. As he defeats Malenia with all his strength, cursed by the Rot that eventually ends with his life in the edge of death, Godfrey's time for the eternal rest arrives; but in the end, he recognizes Malenia as a true Elden Lord as he was a long, long time ago.
I'm pretty satisfied with how the regular fight goes with no stat changes. He defeats her as the blade of Miquella, but there's no way he's beating the Goddess of Rot.
Okay, I really love the effort put into this video. Super high quality, clever, creative, thrilling as hell. Absolutely amazing. Earned yourself a subscriber!
“Played college ball Y’know” “At some cushy sorcery academy!” “Try University of the badlands, could’ve gone pro if I hadn’t joined the Golden order! I’m not one of those Black knife pansies! I could break Marika in two, with my bare hands!”
Man this is awesome. One thing I’ve always wanted to see was a Mohg that actually works because always ends up losing to others bosses because of his buffs and especially nihil because it doesn’t heal him or do damage to the other boss. But seeing daddy loux at full strength is good enough for me.
The only reason Godfrey has half as much HP than Malenia is, he's a mandatory Boss where Malenia is optional. Like Malenia is for the ones who've become to strong for the regular story line.
@@superwafflemaster123 is he stronger than malenia? probably almost definitely... is he stronger than the goddess of rot? Unfortunately by the very nature of him being human, no even if he can slowly gain an advantage, rot is broken and his best case scenario is to end up like radahn with mind death
@@sevirakalau2171 Being human or god doesn't matter in these games, he destroyed Placidusax (not saying he is the mentioned Storm Lord), which is absolutely a god stronger than malenia even in her second form, malenia was never defeated but Godfrey fought all of the Golden Order's enemies, malenia has a Great Rune that lets her heal with every hit meanwhile Godfrey has nothing but a broken axe, he also exterminated the goddamn Giants, and he defeated the Storm Lord which is probably a god, it's not difficult to imagine that Godfrey can defeat malenia as a goddess.
@@Lepoetism It does because the rot can affect everything and radahn was pretty much the only guy not COMPLETELY and utterly crippled by it. Every other human (besides us for gameplay) fking lose limbs, or died from small doses of it. Considering how roughed up he was in the opening cinematic he can obv be defeated. Im not saying malenia herself is stronger just that rot is busted and will probably kill him
I love that in the first fight Godfrey's response to Malenia transforming into a literal Goddess of rot was to do the best impression of the Dudley Boys I've ever seen and powerbomb her into the next age. Absolute Chad Edit: After watching the full video I retract my statement. Round 2 is where Godfrey truly embraces the code of the Sigma and just spams powerbomb after powerbomb. Even in his first phase my boi was not playing around, he had given her courtesy enough
So basically the only way any other boss has a shot against Malenia is if you buff them like a set of hubcaps, nerf the money right out of her pockets, or both; and even then it's a close game.
@@kaiserdetectivegolden2735 She's a demigod so yeah, she probably can. That's the beauty of fiction. You can have reasons for women to be as strong as (if not stronger than) men such as magic or godhood.
@@TheFirstCurse1 no she can't ans stop this obssesion with woman the beaty of fiction is not about that at all godfrey my guy beated a giants legendry creatures lords which are 1000000x heavier than Malenia so it's impossible for her to hold him
@@kaiserdetectivegolden2735 You're obviously very fragile when it comes to your masculinity. This couldn't happen in real life obviously, but in fiction? She's a demigod who wears a full set of golden armor. She fought Radahn, who's far larger than her. Of course she'd be able to lift and throw someone like Godfrey. You're making an ass of yourself and you're making it a bigger deal than it has to be. It's a video game with gods, demigods, magic, etc.
Ah yes... Malenia, the Goddess of Rot... and Hoarah Loux, the Chieftain of the Badlands... a battle long remembered... when the rotted blade was met with bloody earthquakes.
Tbh the last fight is very accurate to what would probably happen anyways. Much like Malenia's battle against Radahn (who is also a huge bulldozer of a man), it was very even of a battle, but once Malenia was defeated, she succumbed to the Rot God and used that power to bring Godfrey down with her. Even if he survived that, the Rot would've absolutely broken him down.
@@UrMom19954 Yes, that's true, but malenia is not stupid to do the same mistake, the bloom in Caelid was strong because malenia put all of her power in it, which is why she passed out after the bloom, if malenia decided to do the same against Godfrey, he would dodge it, and then kill malenia. Even if we assume that Godfrey couldn't dodge the bloom, he has a short time before the effect starts, because scarlet rot is not instant, the player has to wait few seconds before the effect starts if he was standing in the bloom, Godfrey is stronger and has better resistance than the player, he will have a longer time to smash malenia's bones and kill her before he eventually dies due to the rot, Radahn would have done the same thing if he hadn't been ganked by malenia's knights. malenia's blooms in her fight are not as big as the one in Caelid, dodging them is easy, and it leaves malenia unable to move, someone like Hoarah Loux is able to dodge the blooms easily.
I'm really curious why Godfrey has that getting grabbed animation lmao not that I'm complaining, a blind crippled woman effortlessly yeeting this hulk is a sight to see. And as predicted, she still absolutely stomps in original stats despite the grabs. And also Malenia managed to tie a doubled HP Godfrey without her heals, for those people who keep claiming she wouldn't be shit without her heals 💀
Hoarah has SO MUCH invincibility frames during his attacks. Malenia can be hit during every attack she does, while he doesn't get hit about 2/3 of the combat time
Once again, thanks for clarifying the rules right at the start and throughout the video, along with the final, normal round. Seeing all of these grabs is great, and these were some sweet battles. The use of the voice lines was also a great touch, though I personally think you could have saved the "Enough of this kingly folly," line for Round 2 and left out the rest of the line.
Malenia went super chad mode even when nerfed, the damage of the ground breaking attacks by Godfrey is very high but she can still tank them with ease. Her title is well deserved xD

Yes, if you don't have enough HP that attack will one shot you. Grabs can be survived if you have 1000+ HP.

With all the times I've died to Hourah Loux's Earthshaker, I could have told you that. Heck, I've died to that more than any of his other moves

7:03 THIS is how I imagine the fight between Radahn and Malenia must have ended according to the intro cutscene and the lore of the first time blooming of the aeonia flower.
only Radahn didn't die
Radhan idolizes Godfrey so much that his whole armour is based on him, Godfrey was the strongest in his Prime. Even he would survive that attack Lore-wise. I'm not sure if he can take out the full-conscious goddess of rot though, because she collapsed after blooming while fighting Radhan. After all her power came from an outer god, it's hardly her strength.
4:26 Hoarah Loux twirling Malenia like a corkscrew and forcing her out of waterfowl just to slam dunk her afterwards was absolutely amazing
Round 2 is essentially "As The Greater Will as my witness, she is broken in half!!"
Godfrey during the second round: “I’ve given thee curtesy enough...”
Godfrey every other round: "I should've gave more curtesy"
Daddy's grabs are ridiculous.
9:21 Him melting away as her flower goes nova is pretty epic.
Godfrey is such a chad
-he keep fighting to the end knowing he was gonna die anyway
-he grabbed malenia during both waterfowl and scarlet aeonia
-he doesn't care about malenia's bullshit and still goes for the grabs
-he fights bare hands with no armor against the goddess of rot
It might have been a tied, but Godfrey wins 100% as overall best performance
Exactly
The amazing thing is that even if Godfrey is weaker than malenia, he is a human, meanwhile malenia is a demigod, also he doesn't use any kind of power, despite being Elden Lord which means he can use Erdtree incantations, he fights with a broken axe, and then with his bare hands, meanwhile malenia needs the rot of an outer god to beat him, Godfrey is literal Gigachad!
@@Lepoetism cough Serosh cough
Anyway saying that Godfrey is weaker just because he loses in a cheated fight made by a fan on a youtube video is the dumbest shit ever.
Forgot to mention that Godfrey doesnt use cheat engine like shitenia
@@gsc8713 Fact
The ending of the third battle is just too poetic.
As he defeats Malenia with all his strength, cursed by the Rot that eventually ends with his life in the edge of death, Godfrey's time for the eternal rest arrives; but in the end, he recognizes Malenia as a true Elden Lord as he was a long, long time ago.
I'm pretty satisfied with how the regular fight goes with no stat changes. He defeats her as the blade of Miquella, but there's no way he's beating the Goddess of Rot.
He can in the lore tho
@@Lepoetism Can he in lore though? I mean you know how deadly Scarlet Rot is not only in-game, but also lore-wise.
Scarlet rot ruins most fights because of silly percent health damage
@@kimashitawa8113 if radahn could draw i think hoara could beat her
@@darylsantos6047 But Radahn didn't fight Goddess of Rot Malenia though and the moment she unleashed the Scarlet Aeonia it was over.

They’re not related but I can get why you’d get that impression.

Nope, Radagon is her father.

Those grabs are so satisfying
Especially having been on the receiving end all too many times (had difficulty getting the timing right for a bit).
Okay, I really love the effort put into this video. Super high quality, clever, creative, thrilling as hell. Absolutely amazing. Earned yourself a subscriber!
Malenia: *enters Waterfowl*
Hoarah Loux: And I took that personally.
Malenia is like a pretty flower-
and Godfrey politely plants her into the dirt just like one
Could you make an ai battle of crabs vs lobsters. Like 1v1s including al varients, then have bigger numbers fight against each other?

Nah runebeats vs lobsters

“At some cushy sorcery academy!”
“Try University of the badlands, could’ve gone pro if I hadn’t joined the Golden order! I’m not one of those Black knife pansies! I could break Marika in two, with my bare hands!”
This is one of the coolest game related videos I've ever seen, thanks for doing it.
Amazing! Beautifully done.
It felt like a true battle between warriors.
Hats off to you 🤘
Fucking a tier editing dude all of these transitions were stellar!
5:59 Oh yes… Tarnished, are we?
Man this is awesome. One thing I’ve always wanted to see was a Mohg that actually works because always ends up losing to others bosses because of his buffs and especially nihil because it doesn’t heal him or do damage to the other boss. But seeing daddy loux at full strength is good enough for me.
“Back in my day, we didn’t use these fancy blades. PREPARE YOURSELF, GIRL!”
4:53
malenia: let your flesh be consumed by-
loux: how about you sit the fuck down
4:22 bro really said "SHUT THE F*K UP"
The only reason Godfrey has half as much HP than Malenia is, he's a mandatory Boss where Malenia is optional. Like Malenia is for the ones who've become to strong for the regular story line.
The more cinematoc editing with the backgrounds and everything is incredible. Absolutely loved it
I love how he just interrupts Malenia most powerful attacks. Totally chad
Whoa….that is an epic fight! Especially the clash between the aeonia and the massive Quakes.
Godfrey at lore: 3:25
Godfrey at game: 7:33
in lore is he stronger than Malenia?
@@superwafflemaster123 I don't think so. Although first elden lord malenia is goddess of rot. Still I can't confirm
@@superwafflemaster123 is he stronger than malenia? probably almost definitely... is he stronger than the goddess of rot? Unfortunately by the very nature of him being human, no even if he can slowly gain an advantage, rot is broken and his best case scenario is to end up like radahn with mind death
@@sevirakalau2171 Being human or god doesn't matter in these games, he destroyed Placidusax (not saying he is the mentioned Storm Lord), which is absolutely a god stronger than malenia even in her second form, malenia was never defeated but Godfrey fought all of the Golden Order's enemies, malenia has a Great Rune that lets her heal with every hit meanwhile Godfrey has nothing but a broken axe, he also exterminated the goddamn Giants, and he defeated the Storm Lord which is probably a god, it's not difficult to imagine that Godfrey can defeat malenia as a goddess.
@@Lepoetism It does because the rot can affect everything and radahn was pretty much the only guy not COMPLETELY and utterly crippled by it. Every other human (besides us for gameplay) fking lose limbs, or died from small doses of it. Considering how roughed up he was in the opening cinematic he can obv be defeated. Im not saying malenia herself is stronger just that rot is busted and will probably kill him
I love that in the first fight Godfrey's response to Malenia transforming into a literal Goddess of rot was to do the best impression of the Dudley Boys I've ever seen and powerbomb her into the next age. Absolute Chad
Edit: After watching the full video I retract my statement. Round 2 is where Godfrey truly embraces the code of the Sigma and just spams powerbomb after powerbomb. Even in his first phase my boi was not playing around, he had given her courtesy enough
When he turns to Horah Loux we all have a good time, it turns from Elden Ring to UFC
So basically the only way any other boss has a shot against Malenia is if you buff them like a set of hubcaps, nerf the money right out of her pockets, or both; and even then it's a close game.
Bro was playing BASKETBALL with her in round 2 🤣
I'd love to see Malenia vs Morgott. There attacks are similar in some ways and each are powerhouses in their own right.
2:45 bro roar so hard it sent her flying bruh
1:50 This moment with the theme still goin makes it extremely hard
Melanias grab is so funny , it’s so graceful but it throws this absolute behemoth like 20 feet high
Malenia getting grabbed is so satisfying to watch.
but she grabs also so nah
she can't lore-wise and logically wise hold Godfrey but nevermind
Yeah i'd love to grab her too
@@kaiserdetectivegolden2735 She's a demigod so yeah, she probably can. That's the beauty of fiction. You can have reasons for women to be as strong as (if not stronger than) men such as magic or godhood.
@@TheFirstCurse1 no she can't ans stop this obssesion with woman
the beaty of fiction is not about that at all
godfrey my guy beated a giants legendry creatures lords which are 1000000x heavier than Malenia
so it's impossible for her to hold him
@@kaiserdetectivegolden2735 You're obviously very fragile when it comes to your masculinity. This couldn't happen in real life obviously, but in fiction? She's a demigod who wears a full set of golden armor. She fought Radahn, who's far larger than her. Of course she'd be able to lift and throw someone like Godfrey.
You're making an ass of yourself and you're making it a bigger deal than it has to be. It's a video game with gods, demigods, magic, etc.
Scarlet Aenoia being interrupted by grabs is just so satisfying to watch.
Ah yes... Malenia, the Goddess of Rot... and Hoarah Loux, the Chieftain of the Badlands... a battle long remembered... when the rotted blade was met with bloody earthquakes.
Malenia: „I have an army!“
Godfrey: „Poor girl, I still have both of my arms.“
Tbh the last fight is very accurate to what would probably happen anyways. Much like Malenia's battle against Radahn (who is also a huge bulldozer of a man), it was very even of a battle, but once Malenia was defeated, she succumbed to the Rot God and used that power to bring Godfrey down with her.
Even if he survived that, the Rot would've absolutely broken him down.
But i don't think Godfrey will just allow malenia to rot him.
@@UrMom19954 Yes, that's true, but malenia is not stupid to do the same mistake, the bloom in Caelid was strong because malenia put all of her power in it, which is why she passed out after the bloom, if malenia decided to do the same against Godfrey, he would dodge it, and then kill malenia.
Even if we assume that Godfrey couldn't dodge the bloom, he has a short time before the effect starts, because scarlet rot is not instant, the player has to wait few seconds before the effect starts if he was standing in the bloom, Godfrey is stronger and has better resistance than the player, he will have a longer time to smash malenia's bones and kill her before he eventually dies due to the rot, Radahn would have done the same thing if he hadn't been ganked by malenia's knights.
malenia's blooms in her fight are not as big as the one in Caelid, dodging them is easy, and it leaves malenia unable to move, someone like Hoarah Loux is able to dodge the blooms easily.
I'm really curious why Godfrey has that getting grabbed animation lmao not that I'm complaining, a blind crippled woman effortlessly yeeting this hulk is a sight to see.
And as predicted, she still absolutely stomps in original stats despite the grabs. And also Malenia managed to tie a doubled HP Godfrey without her heals, for those people who keep claiming she wouldn't be shit without her heals 💀
Yea Godfrey needs modifications for a good fight it is pretty entertaining to watch tho
@@sypher3492 Yeah in the end, that's really the only thing that matters in Boss vs Boss battles lol
@@virael3801 yup lol
The "she wouldn't be shit without her heals" guys are just people coping that they could have beaten her faster if she " played fair".
I guess they ported the player animation on godfrey to make it look a bit more convincing ?
You can clearly see Malenia healing in Round 3, even though her lifesteal is supposedly removed. Or am I missing something?
Lifesteal isn't removed
Its been made almost useless .
Essentially he nerfed it to make it very small compared to usual
@@123NERDZ it wasnt useless at all
Yeah saw that too, got rekt anyway lmao
Only in round 2
I noticed as well that the Scab Queen somehow manage to heal.
Godfrey doesn't need any spell or special power he is all strength and power.
mf eradicated the whole clan of Fire Giants like his surname is Uchiha.
And still lost in the video that is biased towards him
everything was spot on! and you made the bosses grabbable ,well done.
People gotta remember that Godfrey was banished to the badlands literally had a thing pierced into him in the beginning cinematic
Hoarah has SO MUCH invincibility frames during his attacks. Malenia can be hit during every attack she does, while he doesn't get hit about 2/3 of the combat time
Malenia's Scarlet Rot wings underneath the burning Erdtree looks breathtaking
The most insane part about Malenia is the fact that she regains health for every hit. Made the fight feel impossible
And she has her great rune . But still can't survive THESE HANDS 😂😂
it's so satisfying watching malenia getting thrown around like a ragdoll.
Perhaps some of the greatest boss v boss videos I have ever seen! Keep up the amazing work please
4:53
Malenia:let your flesh be consumed by the scarlet rot
Godfrey: No
Daddy Loux should’ve had 2 health bars in the base game.
0:45 Wait ! Where is this voice Line from ? I've Never Heard it
Once again, thanks for clarifying the rules right at the start and throughout the video, along with the final, normal round. Seeing all of these grabs is great, and these were some sweet battles. The use of the voice lines was also a great touch, though I personally think you could have saved the "Enough of this kingly folly," line for Round 2 and left out the rest of the line.
I fucking died 14 times in a row trying to dodge the flower explosion and Godfrey muscles were like "I drank my milk when kid"

@@juwe7143 But who's to judge the right from wrong
Chadfrey showing who is the best boss, not with shit unavoidable attacks and health regen but with the pure soul of a warrior
This video was amazing, above and beyond my favourite boss VS boss so far.
Just wanna mention how impeccable the editing was for this video. Great job!
Malenia went super chad mode even when nerfed, the damage of the ground breaking attacks by Godfrey is very high but she can still tank them with ease. Her title is well deserved xD
"Malenia has her health halved, Godfrey has his health doubled."
That pretty much says it all, doesn't it?
That Godfrey doesn't have a Great Rune and was softened due to being part of a boss rush, you mean? Yeah.
@@andyknightwarden9746 Cope. It was not a true boss rush
Round 2 was a total Powerbomb Symphony
Malenia: “Let your flesh-“
Hoarah: “Grapple”
M: “What”
Hoarah: *sends her to hell*
That was the best one I have ever seen. Plus the edit is just perfect
