i wish we had that ash of war instead, the one we get prioritizes the flame of frenzy, which is really bad, only when we run out of mana does it sorta improve, but then we get low damage
bro its useless an a.i npc versus another a.i will result in the npc doing dumbass things but when you fight the npc's they roll away from everything and will charge at you when you're healing or casting an ability
Thops out doing Sellen is really poetic, after all, her quest ends with her most colossal failure, while his ends with the founding of a new conspectus
Watching npc after NPC literally sprint headlong into the grab attack time after time is absolutely hilarious. Thops deserved to get the W tho, if only his AI didn't randomly de-aggro, if he kept going like he did at the start he'd have won maybe
I imagine Anastasia finishes toasting his bony old behind with a disgruntled look, then drops him in a stew...Millie & Vyke's performances were a pleasure to watch, though.
No one gonna mention how well Arghanthy and Anastasia did? And how smart Millicent fought? They are the real MVPs in this video, Nepheli and Bernarl are always expected to win. And Shoutout to Lionel for such a valiant effort despite being a mid game npc.
I think this puts into perspective how utterly terrifying the player character must be. Imagine being someone like Lionel or Eleonora or Gideon. You're not just a strong warrior, you're the *best*. Serving-directly-under-royalty levels of insane skill. You've felled foes who could take on entire squadrons of soldiers on their own. And then you meet this horrible, shriveled, impaled old man... who tears you apart with his bony little fingers as if you weren't even wearing armor. He's unimpressive to look at, but he's almost beyond comprehension in power. He's something eldritch and otherworldly. Even if you kill him, like Vyke or Millicent, it leaves a mark. But after that, you see this motherfucker walk in wearing stolen armor and a weapon they picked up off the ground, a supposed "fighter" that nobody's ever heard of, and they walk up to the old man without flinching to annihilate him in less than a moment. They don't even take a hit. Then the old man fucking explodes into a fiery god of divine madness, and this random Tarnished just squares up and beats the shit out of the god too. If I was any NPC in Elden Ring and I met my player character, I'd have nightmares for months.
@@AngriestPeanut the lore is set up in a way for imagination to be a huge part of it, that’s why there’s so many damn holes and we probably are wrong about a lot of things that we have established as “fact” (one great example of us establishing something and being wrong is the whole mogh ordeal… imagine how many more there are that just weren’t addressed in the DLC?) A lot of the reason behind the whole imagination thing was Miyazaki’s experience with reading English books back when he couldn’t understand like half of it, so he used his imagination. You’re right in the “gameplay is first” sense, but not in the “yall need to stop” sense as while gameplay is indeed first important things still come after that (aforementioned lore, imagination, etc)
1- Millicent would make her mom proud 2- Shabriri losing to Midra is just poetic 3- Nepheli confirms why there is so much fan art of her because she is awesome Congratulations to all the other winners
The amount of effort they've gone through creating a totally unique moveset for Small Midra is impressive. Especially knowing that most people would try to 1 hit/combo him just so they can get to the actual boss fight.... I love this boss fight and for me Midra was the highlight of the DLC.
@@mewxtherealitygod4706it starts to. Pretty sure they could have done it by swapping in the other midra body, hiding everything but the head, not really needing extra modelling.
It's weird how some NPCs seem to have massive damage penalties. Like, the Giant Crusher is one of the hardest hitting weapons in the game but Tragoth does less damage with it that some others do by just slashing with daggers.
He kinda sounds (and fights) like Smeagol ngl. To be fair both are deranged old dudes with a supernatural force resembling a flaming eyeball taking over their free will and mind and basically putting them through hell.
Old man Midra is not to be underestimated if you don't have a weapon that can keep him stunlocked, he can easily kill you with that grab and his swipes do a lot of damage.
it gets my nerves how passive those npcs are against boss and each other, when YOU are the one fighting them they leave you no fucking room, if they use magic they will spam it without ever stop until you interrupt their cast, and if they use melee attacks they just keep running after you and attacking relentless until you run out of stamina or start fighting back
All the victors Spoilers obviously Anastasia! Cheif guardian argrathany! (I definitely spelt that wrong) Vyke! (Fun fact, the evergaol one, which is the one in the video, doesn't use anything frenzy related) D, beholder of death! (This is devin, the brother, not darian, the one in roundtable) Millicent! (Best girl) And Nephille loux! (Also best girl ) Honourable mentions to Lionel the lionhearted and the nameless white mask for almost killing mini midra!
Me: "how will you defeat your opponents? " Midra: "Simple. Give em Lou Thesz Press and Proceeds to Punish them with my Frenzy flame" Nice work❤❤❤ Plus: 6:17 Is this one of The Belmonts?
It’s wild how this version of midra still has better inspirations for frenzy spells than what we got I mean seriously I cant believe they gave us ANOTHER frenzy flame burst spell
Everything in shadow of the Erdtree is capable of destroying the lands between, the only thing stopping them is the fact that they’re stuck in the land of shadow.
Seeing Vyke win is like a redemption for his character. Seeing Shabriri fight so hard feels like he's so close to his goal and just needs this old man out of the way. Seeing Thops work with the one spell he has and fight like a boxer (pivoting from the wall, boxing the opponent in) is cool ah.
Vyke, Millicent, Nepheli Loux, & Bernahl were all NPCs I expected to do well given their prominence in the story, but Lionel's performance was by far the most surprising.
My man Thops putting up a surprisingly good show despite self-deprecating himself as a "bluntstone".
Much better than master sorcerer Sellen
Lionel almost won too
Well you can’t very well make a rock go mad, now can you?
Alternative title: Who can survive being topped by Midra? (Gone 𝓯𝓻𝓮𝓷𝔃𝔂👅)

7:19 There's something funny about patches kicking midra after he interrupted his healing animation 😂😂😂
Patches kicks an old mentally challenged man in the face? Instant cancel.
And then he goes back to finish it lol
"Do you MIND?"
I mean it is his signature move. xD
Sellen: (seeing everyone get destroyed, goes on the offensive in a panic)
Thopps: “I’m gonna practice some social distancing, now.”
I love this comment
They will know the depths of their foolishness!

AWAY, AWAY! Oops wrong town
Underrated, thanks for the laugh
"I know in my bone."
18:25 Millicent was ready for the song change
Midra: Enough....
It also timed pretty well with her WFD
Vyke finally overcame the madness of the Frenzied Flame

Shabriri and Midra facing off with their madness and Midra managing to damage him with it is absolute cinema.
How much you can be stupid to use a flame against it's lord 😂

Thops deserved to get the W tho, if only his AI didn't randomly de-aggro, if he kept going like he did at the start he'd have won maybe
Thopps was giving him the business
it was even more funny because millicent just dodges out of his way and he falls flat on his face
I imagine Anastasia finishes toasting his bony old behind with a disgruntled look, then drops him in a stew...Millie & Vyke's performances were a pleasure to watch, though.
Vyke really spammed that ash of war like a true elden lord candidate
Shabiri: Let chaos take the world!
Midra: Ah, you think Chaos is your ally? But you merely adopted chaos. I was born in it - molded by it!

Midra’s Missionary Stroke of Pain and Suffering
"However, Midra, like others before him, was too weak to become a Lord"
Midra:"the fuck do you mean"
Nah, he was too strong to become a lord of frienzy.
Tbf it might just mean too weak to go through with burning down the lands between
I like how he has a relatively deep voice in the cutscene, but his ingame voice is like a puppy seeing a person for the first time.
He sounds like Smeagol
It’s because he locked in when you hit him too many times
I think this puts into perspective how utterly terrifying the player character must be.

Vyke proved he is a ganker in this video
Y’all really need to stop over analyzing everything, it’s a video game and things are balanced this way for gameplay sake

D's performance was delicious! He absolutely cooked him and I Didn't expect him to to that well
I was in actual awe, what a fucking unit.
I kinda secretly wish Midra gonna yell "THE DEPTH OF YOUR FOOLISHNESS" before every fights!! lolololol
Bernahl, D, Milicent, Nepheli and Vyke are the truly champions 👏👏
Anastasia in the corner 😢
dont forget anastasia!
Anastasia did a tutorial on how to deal with horny old men.
The chief guardian being completely forgotten 😓
Vyke spamming L2 like a real elden ring player 😂
I'm ngl
Thops put in work
Bro was playing the true mage build run like a bitch and spam until you can't
1- Millicent would make her mom proud
2- Shabriri losing to Midra is just poetic
3- Nepheli confirms why there is so much fan art of her because she is awesome
Congratulations to all the other winners
Vyke: As long as it works, do it
Tarnished eater won too
@@sergeanthuman That Yormh finisher of him bringing the axe down using both sides of the blade as if he was decapitating Midra's head was Chad.
Love how varre tries to give him flowers and midra goes "nahhh we skipping that i want smt else 😈😈😈"
Thops surviving for as long as he did, I'd say is a win for the poor fker
Also go millicent and nepheli
Dungeater and gideon were really disappointing
The amount of effort they've gone through creating a totally unique moveset for Small Midra is impressive. Especially knowing that most people would try to 1 hit/combo him just so they can get to the actual boss fight....
I love this boss fight and for me Midra was the highlight of the DLC.
15:23 did gideon seriously just punched midra in the face? Also I love how vyke just spammed his hyper armored move
Went hand for hand with midra and got humbled
Dang. Brother Corhyn was a real badass.
Still no match for crazy yellow hobo, though.
Can we all agree that Mira has one of the coolest phase transition cutscenes in FromSoftware history?
You mean scary right 👍👍
Could be better if the head comes off, but that would have taken a ton of modeling time. They didn't have that time
@@mewxtherealitygod4706it starts to.
Pretty sure they could have done it by swapping in the other midra body, hiding everything but the head, not really needing extra modelling.
@@FFKonoko yeah, true
Yes, it was very good, but not as good as Ludwig’s.
THE DEPTHS OF YOUR FOOLISHNESS!
No wonder Vyke got so close to being Elden Lord, man knows how to L2 spam.
It's weird how some NPCs seem to have massive damage penalties.
Like, the Giant Crusher is one of the hardest hitting weapons in the game but Tragoth does less damage with it that some others do by just slashing with daggers.
When you think how his first phase was such a joke and you see all NPC die that easily, and some of them were difficult to kill, it makes me laugh
He kinda sounds (and fights) like Smeagol ngl. To be fair both are deranged old dudes with a supernatural force resembling a flaming eyeball taking over their free will and mind and basically putting them through hell.
You could see Vyke had some personal beef
8:18 , miriam was like, get off me pervert
small midra overpowered asf
Old man Midra is not to be underestimated if you don't have a weapon that can keep him stunlocked, he can easily kill you with that grab and his swipes do a lot of damage.
I feel like the NPCs should do a range check before casting certain spells. Seriously, Let's Loretta's bow from that range?
The depths of their foolishness
it gets my nerves how passive those npcs are against boss and each other, when YOU are the one fighting them they leave you no fucking room, if they use magic they will spam it without ever stop until you interrupt their cast, and if they use melee attacks they just keep running after you and attacking relentless until you run out of stamina or start fighting back
They're reactive.
They react to each other healing, but they don't heal as much as we do.
Skill issue
This thumbnail is basically my reaction everytime I see Gideon ❤
"Where my hug at?"
-Smidra
Now I kind of wanna see all these npc's gank up on the lord of the frenzied flame lol
Watching Gideon get almost no hit by Midra was very cathartic
I’ve never seen any of these moves by little midra. A shame his first phase is so squishy.
All the victors
Spoilers obviously
Anastasia!
Cheif guardian argrathany! (I definitely spelt that wrong)
Vyke! (Fun fact, the evergaol one, which is the one in the video, doesn't use anything frenzy related)
D, beholder of death! (This is devin, the brother, not darian, the one in roundtable)
Millicent! (Best girl)
And Nephille loux! (Also best girl )
Honourable mentions to Lionel the lionhearted and the nameless white mask for almost killing mini midra!
Thops had the strat until his hit box got clipped.
Me: "how will you defeat your opponents? "
Midra: "Simple. Give em Lou Thesz Press and Proceeds to Punish them with my Frenzy flame"
Nice work❤❤❤
Plus: 6:17 Is this one of The Belmonts?
I can't believe Gideon lost
He giga threw
It’s wild how this version of midra still has better inspirations for frenzy spells than what we got
I mean seriously I cant believe they gave us ANOTHER frenzy flame burst spell
Seeing Gideon getting wrecked always put a smile on my face 😂
You should've had the winners fight Midra lord of frenzy flame together see if all of them can beat him
Kinda funny how Shabriri lost the Howl of Shabriri showdown.
14:28 he's not gonna sugarcoat it
15:42 D's nuts
Midra might have made him go, but D made midra eat them
Love the Millicent fight. She played it smart.
Patches deserved a rematch, he’s been known to give the smoke when you least expect it.
I never thought Small Midra was so strong
Everything in shadow of the Erdtree is capable of destroying the lands between, the only thing stopping them is the fact that they’re stuck in the land of shadow.
Anastasia wasn’t playing around. She went to town on midra with that ichigo zanpakto blade
That nameless White Mask got robbed lol, and Midra's leap has surprising range
i love grab attacks in elden ring and i love that you make video like this, thank you
My girls Millicent and Nepheli doing a great job.
Also, Thops doing better than Sellen? Definitely worthy of a new conspectus of the
academy
The mage at 1:20 is just like, DON'T COME ANY CLOSER...
I never knew first phase had this moveset, I just waffle stomped him into his second phase
Ghiza going for the overhead and getting immediately curbstomped was hilarious.
While watching this, I realized that Midra’s theme is oddly similar to Laurence’s from Bloodborne.
Thops being the first to actually do some good damage and put out some moves was very unexpected
Vike: Want to know why I'm the best tarnish? Because I know how to spam L2
Seeing Vyke win is like a redemption for his character. Seeing Shabriri fight so hard feels like he's so close to his goal and just needs this old man out of the way. Seeing Thops work with the one spell he has and fight like a boxer (pivoting from the wall, boxing the opponent in) is cool ah.
Love how Jerren was only tickling him aside from the bleed dmg
Now that I can see Midra clearly that he Is not that small, he's only kneeling. 20:49 Bernahl is a cheeky bas*ard.
This is How I Imagine diddy acts at the parties…
Seller could’ve had that one if she (a spellcaster) didn’t roll forward and into Midra’s melee range
*Sellen
Vyke, Millicent, Nepheli Loux, & Bernahl were all NPCs I expected to do well given their prominence in the story, but Lionel's performance was by far the most surprising.
Ayo thops was putting in that footwork tho and he did sellen dirty
11:25 why did his madness push her spear up?!?
-noooooo Thops was doing so weeeeeellllll….😂
- elenore not powerstancing was crazy😂
The way I was rooting for Thops only for him to get eventually grabbed hurts my soul
All hail our weak lord of frenzied flame
But if the npc fought me, they'd channel gods strength to defeat me
Anastasia said " I've eaten many a tarnished. I'll also consume your chaos ". 😮
14:14
Vyke fights like players, using his skill again and again!! lol
everyone be nice to him he’s going through a lot
Getting mounted by a crazed individual is just a normal day for Gideon
It was great to see Midra show Shabriri just how much of an amateur he really was. 🤣
I can imagine Midra knowing who Shabriri is and being absolutely LIVID while fighting him
This is a cool idea
thanks
U disappoint me Shabriri
Anastasia ain't having any of that madness! lol
My man Thops has the hops, look at em!
Tragoth may have lost, but he put the funniest bonk.
