I wasn't expecting the Ice Spear Ash of War in phase 1 or Ekzyke's Decay before running the skull marathon in phase 2. Those were both _super_ clever moves, but especially in the timing, like using the wind-up before the spear to be able to deal extra damage when the snake head is outside the lava, and ensuring Rot will keep ticking damage while you're just having to run around When it comes to mixing Incantations & Sorceries, nothing deals with big, slow threats at range quite like the combination of Black Blade & Ranni's Dark Moon. I love seeing what you add to tactics like that to avoid feeling too repetitive whilst also avoiding the intended gimmick weapon. Also, I've gotta give appreciation for keeping the cutscene in for extra thematic goodness.
The fact that you had to run to avoid getting damaged is in itself feels kinda spine chilling since you destroy them so easily. Regardless, another epic victory.
@@dreadstunlock when ongbal used black blade incantation, you saw starting point of his healthbar was greyed out as it was reduced hp limit as well as taking damage over time. That is the destined death mechanic
This must have been the most difficult one so far, with all the lava, huge AoE attacks and tracking fire skulls. Not to mention his huge HP pool. Excellent performance!
I love how you weren't ashamed to use spells in your later vids, including this one. You've been more than a boss speed runner as of late. You've been a performer who puts on BIG shows!
Nice to see the ice spear :D really underappreciated ash of war imo. used it on my first playthrough and had to stop myself from overusing it because it made the game too easy. Does good damage, nice range, builds up frostbite quickly AND does good stagger damage. I also wanted to beat this boss using it (without using the serpent-hunter) on my first playthrough until after ~5-10 attempts I found out he had a second phase and pulled out the serpent-hunter anyway
its because the spell casts several high damage lightningstrikes in a row and rykard has a very large diameter so he gets hit by probably 3-5 of those strikes each dealing 2000k damage. thats why this stuff melts the guy
This is awesome I’m not even passed the start of the game yet on my first playthrough haha 😅 Great work as always, been a big fan of yours since I started watching you when Sekiro came out. Keep up the great work!
- Welcome to the Salty Spittoon. How tough are ya? - How tough am I? How tough am I?! I beat rykard without taking a hit - Yeah, so? - Without the serpent hunter - Uh, right this way, sorry to keep you waiting
"Together, we will devour the very gods!" Facts : Ongbal devoured him, online players and the gods in NG+7 while half naked with a First run health bar without taking a single hit .. Well if he's not a genius what can he be then ?
How thematically appropriate: Rykard seeks to devour the very gods and you’re fighting him with the Black Blade, Rennala’s Full Moon, Ezykes’ Rot… you’re effectively wielding the power of the gods against him, a true clash of the titans 😁👍 Well done once again; a pleasure to watch you work, as always.
This cutscene is too powerful even for Ongbal to skip! Also, I used Ancient Dragon's Lightining Strike to kill him solo (of course with much less style) that spell is incredibly powerful
Awesome video, love it!! But you got hit when the serpent landed on you before phase 2, no damage but a hit. Just pulling your leg I know it don't count LMAO
ICE SPEAR, BAYBEE. Top 5 best Weapon Skills in the game. (I noticed you were crouching to trigger stamina regen without losing too much speed. Pretty cool to see someone else utilize that. )
I like how you didn't skip the second phase cutscene, so that we can enjoy it TOGETHAAAA
when I tell you I cackled when I read this comment…
Now join the ONGBAL fans as FAMILY
@@ZhadowCrops TOGETHAAAAA WE WILL WATCH EVERY ONGBAL VIDEOOOOUUUSSS
@@ZhadowCrops TOGETHAA WE WATCH HIM CHALLENGE THE VERY GODDDSSSZZZ
Lolllll
I was wondering how the boss managed to survive so long… and then I realized you watched the cutscene too.
That, and dodging the skull meteors. Those damn things are annoying.
Because he doesnt spend too much time on many tries. Probably this is his 3. 4. Try i feel that 😂
Rykard: TOGETHAA WE WILL DEVOUR THE VERY GODS
Ongbal: Nah, *I CAN DO THAT MYSELF*
Bloodhound Fang counts for teeth only?
That ancient dragon lighting damage was unreal wtf....beautiful fight
That thing is just the Death Star laser beam being split into smaller beams.
Multi hit spells shred humongous bosses like this
It's actually insane against large bosses. It's like calling down multiple orbital space lasers.
There's a channel on youtube who killed every boss in 1 shot with that and the fire giant fire pillars. Shit is insane.
@@stormwings3236 umogus
Really appreciate ongbal for putting the extra time in dividing most of vids into sections
Yep!
When the game gives you a legendary spear designed to slay the serpent but you have a little magic stick with the most insane spells

Honestly I couldn’t imagine not using the serpent hunter its to cool
Didn't even know it was possible not to get hit by those flying skulls, amazing fight
It is, you just run like absolute hell lol
You can literally just walk away and it would be effective
Didn't know there were flying skulls, me and my mimic used to kill the boss so fast I didn't even see the moves
@@ikeamonkey7372 Don't act like you knew before you watched the video lol.
@@improvised1410 It's not hard to figure it out yourself. Kinda pointless to spam rolls.
Thank you for not skipping the legendary dialogue
Black blade incantation is sooo good! Great fight as always, was a treat to watch you use INT/FAITH combo.
I‘ve been waiting so long to see how ongbal was gonna destroy rykard. He did not disappoint
One of FromSoft's best spectacle fights + one of FromSoft's wildest cutscenes + Ongbal = a true cinematic masterpiece
Yhorm but he's a serpent and is going to eat the gods TOGETHAA
*YOUUUUUU*
*JOIN THE SERPENT KING AS FAMILEEE*
1st reply, and TOGETHA WE WILL DEVOUR THE VERY GODDDSSS!
Yoo Justin Y is back

Here we go again, Absolute annihilation for everything that this dude faces
Destined Death is such a cool mechanic in this game, I love the fact that you included it in this build!
What exactly is the Destined Death mechanic? I’ve played 250 hours and still don’t know what that is haha
Wait what, what is the destined death mechanic???
It wasn't Death Blight?
@@boardiesboi It's when Malekith or Black Knife Assassins, like Tiche, reduce max HP and cause damage over time!
@@dreadstunlock when ongbal used black blade incantation, you saw starting point of his healthbar was greyed out as it was reduced hp limit as well as taking damage over time. That is the destined death mechanic
So stylish and clean! Love the variety of attacks/abilities on display here. Wonderful job!
3:30 this man was just like “don’t look back , don’t look BACK”
This must have been the most difficult one so far, with all the lava, huge AoE attacks and tracking fire skulls. Not to mention his huge HP pool. Excellent performance!
Godskin Duo, go check the comments
@@degstep9968 those two were bitch lmao I remember fighting it with a lot of rages after dying
4:12 insane music sync
thats crazy
The music sync at 4:11 is so sick
I love how you weren't ashamed to use spells in your later vids, including this one. You've been more than a boss speed runner as of late. You've been a performer who puts on BIG shows!
Have you not seen his "no hesitation" videos?
He did something different.. again. Ongbal is on 🔥
Brilliant showcase of different weapons and spells!
Sad to see they still haven't fixed the cutscene lag on pc but thanks for including it. Probably my favourite cutscene in the game

Never realize this fight can be so epic when you don’t mimic tear and spam serpent hunter
That voice actor
3:40
Run boy Run
Absolute content !
great video as usual, your fights always has it own vibe🔥🔥
Ongbal, the way you understand the game and try all different moves/styles is pure joy. Insane quality as always
Even the title of the this video is jaw dropping enough! Nice job bro
you're from another world brother
Beautiful choreography, as always. And 0:55! So cinematic! 👏
As soon as I saw the video I wondered how you were going to dodge that one attack, and the I saw the raptors of the mist. Well played lmao
I think this is the first time I've seen you don't skip a cutscene .. very welcomed and also agree with not skipping that cutscene .. it's awesome!
I love that you included the cutscene, makes it so much more c i n e m a t i c :)
Love how you just slap the serpent's head after it falls down, just for good measure
6am banger lets gooooo
Ongbal's usual videos he always skip the cutscene. Except for this one and I love it. TOGETHAAAA
I did not expect the Red Lightning to be that effective against Rykard. Great fight as always 🧡.
Oh and, TOGETHAAAA! 🧡
its because the spell casts several high damage lightningstrikes in a row and rykard has a very large diameter so he gets hit by probably 3-5 of those strikes each dealing 2000k damage. thats why this stuff melts the guy
Gotta say the big run-around with Rykard's Rancor in close chase was absolutely hysterical.
20 seconds in and I learned you can dodge that attack by jumping, ongbal never disappoints.
Pretty sure he used Raptor of the Mists to dodge it, notice he swaps weapon.
@@DestinyHeroDasher good catch!
I loved the Bonk on the dead serpent head, had me laughing out loud for a solid minute. :D
Your videos blow my mind every time. Truly the greatest Elden Lord.
People always quote the TOGETHHAA but the actual best part of Rykard's dialogue is "Join the Serpent King as familllyyy"
This
God-Devouring Serpent : How godly are you?
Ongbal, the God-Devouring-Serpent-Devouring Tarnished : ?
God-Devouring Serpent : NO NO NO NO NO NO
Not gonna lie this video sparked the love again for the black blade incantation!
the last 2 first phase swings 😂 agyer he was rocked already lmaooo love it bro. let ya nuts hang always...
Oh god.. im waiting this for long time. Tqqqqq
This is awesome I’m not even passed the start of the game yet on my first playthrough haha 😅
Great work as always, been a big fan of yours since I started watching you when Sekiro came out. Keep up the great work!
Gotta love how even the lag at the cutscene is experienced TOGETHAAAAA
- Welcome to the Salty Spittoon. How tough are ya?
- How tough am I? How tough am I?! I beat rykard without taking a hit
- Yeah, so?
- Without the serpent hunter
- Uh, right this way, sorry to keep you waiting
مبدع
I was trying to jump that stupid serpent lava slam for hours you sir have helped me see the light
"Together, we will devour the very gods!"
Facts : Ongbal devoured him, online players and the gods in NG+7 while half naked with a First run health bar without taking a single hit .. Well if he's not a genius what can he be then ?
I'm most glad that you did this incredible feat while wearing pants.
Another sick one. Keep it up.
When I imagine Ongbal playing Elden Ring, I did not expect him to be a spell caster
How thematically appropriate: Rykard seeks to devour the very gods and you’re fighting him with the Black Blade, Rennala’s Full Moon, Ezykes’ Rot… you’re effectively wielding the power of the gods against him, a true clash of the titans 😁👍
Well done once again; a pleasure to watch you work, as always.
Ongbal you're a god for doing this without the Serpent hunting spear
We gotta appreciate how Ongbal includes his level stats and gear in the description. Just so we can struggle to try and be him.
This cutscene is too powerful even for Ongbal to skip!
Also, I used Ancient Dragon's Lightining Strike to kill him solo (of course with much less style) that spell is incredibly powerful
Very anime ending to an epic fight. Great job!
This actually looks like a lot of fun, much more than Yhorm without the sword
using Raptor of the Mists for the phase 1 lava wave is so obvious yet so smart
man has negative vigor
Awesome video, love it!! But you got hit when the serpent landed on you before phase 2, no damage but a hit. Just pulling your leg I know it don't count LMAO
yes, finally rotten breath + run is a valid tactic. loved it!
ICE SPEAR, BAYBEE. Top 5 best Weapon Skills in the game.
(I noticed you were crouching to trigger stamina regen without losing too much speed. Pretty cool to see someone else utilize that. )
0:54 that was so fucking disrespectful for no reason, I love it lmao
My face emotion is like your icon when you didn’t skip the cutscenes
0:20 Is it really impossible to dodge this attack with normal rolls?
I love how it's all one continued attack and you deal 62k damage
This man is the absolute 🐐 of all from games
Love how the head falls just next to him. 0:55
Absolute Mad Lad
truly amazing
Art, pure combat art!
Using raptor of the mists to dodge the lava ground attack was big brain af
Well done, Wolf
That's insane!
You make spellcasting look so cool
No hit patches ng +7 when?
Teacher, I strive to be as good as you one day. A hug..
the ancient dragon lighting did a lot of damage holy crap
Tormentor of serpents has logged on.
Respect for the cutscene. You can't skip it.....TOGETHAAA
Well, that was dang impressive
Strangely I didn't notice the ost was so intense before this video, having and watching very short fights against him usually
Now I feel sorry for the ghost in Volcano Manor who tells you about the serpent-slaying spear
Rykard has mad bling on them fingers.
Bruh you literally brought a dagger with raptor of mists just to dodge that lava wave.
So I'm not the only one that thinks that attack is bullshet.
I thought beating TOGETHAA no hit without the spear would be impossible but yet again ongbal proves me wrong
When Faith builds enter Rykard's chambers and sees Serpent Hunter: "I don't need you"
Perfect display of skills against giant enemy.
so stacking % damage I dont know what I expected
Black Blade flip at 03:08 is just next level
This is impressive! On my channel, I did it without the serpent hunter and no hit CLOSE QUARTERS melee. Only got hit by the AOE lava!
