There's a very obvious raise of aggressivity in attack frequency and combos for the DLC mobs, including the hammer crucible knight. They fight like rabid dogs, while the normal crucible knights fight quite "tamely"
I mean the sword and board crucible knights are pretty passive at times because they wait and hide behind their shield, but I'd say the spear wielding ones are about as aggressive as Devonia in terms of attacking more relentlessly, as they have no shield to remain in a neutral state for long periods.
The funny thing about this is that among pre-DLC enemies, the Crucible Knights are some of the most relentless and aggressive monsters. Just goes to show how much the aggro has been ramped up the in DLC!
@@Kryto_Gaming i wouldnt say they are "aggresive" so to speak. The crucible knights will always progress forward and apply pressure but alot of the time they will punish instead of being aggresive like the Horned Warriors. They wait for you to input certain moves such as a heal for example
Because everything in the dlc is more beast-like. Even Devonia gets a 4 legged centaur mode. But also probably because From knows the playerbase adjusted with the delayed attacks by now so time to make em harder
Ordovis being the last one standing is a beautiful way to end the video. Its insane how the Divine Beast Warriors are the only ones able to give equally balanced Crucible Knights a challenge. Shows how beautifully efficient the move sets of the Crucible Knights are.
Through Devonia’s set, we learn that Godfrey and the Crucible Knights aren’t of the Crucible culture and, much like Messmer’s Black Knights, merely utilize its power. Her item descriptions speak of how she left Godfrey and the others for the Land of Shadow to learn more about the Crucible.
That makes a lot of sense. The knights of Lyndell also utilize another culture/religion's power, in their case the power of Ancient Dragons. The Crucible Knights also have no visible Crucible features sticking out, and all their abilities are about transforming their bodies into Crucible aspects etc.
For your information, these are not all horned warriors. Just the ones with the horned helmet are. The ones with the Lion heads are elites known as 'Divine Beast Warriors' and the feathered ones with golden armour are 'Divine Bird Warriors'. These elites are found only in Enir-Ilim, while the horned warriors are in Belurat and other places too.
Divine beasts are still horned warriors, just more powerful. Infact, cursebaldes are horned warriors who tries to ascend to become divine beasts and fails, indicating horned warriors become the divine beasts
The interesting thing here to me is the difference in poise. Not the stance break mechanic where they fall down and get opened up to a critical hit, but the small interrupting flinches when they are hit by powerful attacks. Crucible Knights notoriously have very high poise, you need super heavy attacks to flinch them even slightly. But the Horned/Divine Warriors of the DLC take this a step further! They do not seem to flinch at all unless they get hit so much they either get outright stancebroken as above or, in rare cases, get sent flying (I don't know if players have enough poise damage output to be able to do the latter, but Crucible Knights do, it seems).
the only thing that seems to really mess them up is the gs with giant hunt. everything else was easier on my dex run with rakshasha great katana, but the horned warriors and crucible knight devonian were both way harder. the gs with giant hunt is the stagger champ.
Fromsoftware is a menace 1. make an awesome and badass enemy 2. create two variations of this enemy with different movesets 3. each of them has two versions with new, cool moves 4. one of these versions has three other variations, each with different moves I can't stress enough how impressive it is to have a game with so many different enemies and many of which having additional variations as well. The Horned Warriors are probably the best elite enemies Fromsoftware has ever created after the Ringed Knights. Elden Ring having Crucible Knights, Horned Warrios, Death Knights, Black Knights, Fire Knights, Banished Knights, Rotten Duelists and Cleanrot Knights is also something REALLY impressive; a lot of different, cool and complex enemies.
Fromsoft: Introduces elden ring and sick asf Aspects of The Crucible abilities Also Fromsoft: Makes it so you can’t use all of them Fromsoft Again: Introduces SOTE and allows you to use the rest of the crucible abilities from base game Also Fromsoft Again: Makes twice as many new abilities that you can’t use
Sword Crucible Knights are slightly more effective in general, but Horned Warriors are incredibly aggressive and have ridiculous dps. they're very weak to thrust tho so the Crucible Knights could use that in their favor
Horned Warrior and Divine Beast Warrior with a big sword : What happens if we mix a Cathedral Knight and the Gundyr Champion and give them holy powers/or wind, ice, or electric powers. Horned Warrior and Divine Bird Warrior with double swords: has a movement reminiscent of the Sanctum Knight of the DS2 with more speed and abilities.
Really wish instead of giving us the crucible wings as an AOW, they could’ve put the shield crucible knight’s sword and made it have that aow like they did with Moonrythill’s sword
absolute annihilation not even joking, Banished Knights only have hyper armor in some attacks and can get stunlocked outside of that. Horned and Crucible warriors are a tier above them in terms of strength.
@@imannam good point about staggers. They could be put in 2v1s to compensate for that. I'm just thinking what other humanoids would be cool opponents for the hornsent chads
Just saying, most people think that there's only three divine beast warriors in enir ilim, but there's a fourth, before euporia. I think he's a wind one or a lightning one but i don't remember
This was great. Very entertaining. Would it be possible to face all these 6 guys vs each one of the bosses and their army? I think these 6 guys stand a great chance of conquering them.
@@EldenRingFights I saw a video of that Horned Warrior with the massive golden sword and he almost beat every base game boss by himself so yeah, the 6 of them at the same will probably be too much even for a whole army.
From most powerful to least powerful: Devonia, Divine Bird Warrior, Divine Beast Warrior, Ordovis (Scadutree 20), Siluria (Scadutree 20), Horner Warrior (Twinblades), Horned Warrior (Greatsword), Ordovis, Siluria. Honestly, giving Ordovis and Siluria 20 Scadutree blessings was overkill since they're designed to be tanks. With that extra defense/damage, they're just way stronger.
@@MasoTrumoi Yup, I felt the same. Divine Beast is imo the top for me. It has a start up time delay which can give enemies few free attacks, but once it gets few attacks, its hyper offensive.
they all do about the same regular and stance damage and both are prone to try and tank through whatever you throw at them but the horned and the divine beast warriors are faster and even more aggressive than the crucibles, still a really cool battle of terminators
The mobs of the DLC have more life and damage... it's normal that they win but the AI coughs at the same level and it's going to be different anyway. gg for the video.
Do next one of these : - 10 Messmer soldiers (axe version) vs all bosses - strongest ghostflame dragon vs all bosses - Fire knight Kood, Wedo, Salza and Queenlign (strongest version) vs all bosses - Demi-Human Swordmaster Onze (scale him with the highest dlc dungeon scaling) vs all bosses
Divine horned warrior definitely is strongest enemy of elden ring. They have multiple attack types even if you had high level they gonna kicked your ass
I'm pissed that I can't turn into a centaur and stomp around like that one crucible knight
Well at least we got wings
check out the Gardenofeyes Overhaul mod.
@@vervetwrydavigy3006oh nah.
They gave us wings only to have another unobtainable crucible ability
Me too, IRL

@@Kryto_GamingIf this trend continues in the next souls game from Fromsoft it’ll have jumped the shark imo
Because everything in the dlc is more beast-like. Even Devonia gets a 4 legged centaur mode. But also probably because From knows the playerbase adjusted with the delayed attacks by now so time to make em harder
The fact these guys are just regular enemies and respawn is nuts
Ordovis being the last one standing is a beautiful way to end the video. Its insane how the Divine Beast Warriors are the only ones able to give equally balanced Crucible Knights a challenge. Shows how beautifully efficient the move sets of the Crucible Knights are.
What’s even cooler is that Ordovis dodged the crucible knight’s (I forgot their name) last chain attack with the horse with the jump back fire blow
@euqro3754 that's what happens when you have as much poise as a boss
The only reason he's the last man standing is because of that shield.
To be fair though, most players will not be close to scadu tree blessing 20 when they fight these guys, or get to level 20 at all.

i kinda expected there to be some connection between the highland set, the bear set and godfrey’s tribe but still waiting
More poise in this video than every single tarnished combined
Hell yeah. No one f*cks with Ordovis!
bro i was rooting for him so hard at the end 😂
8:26 - casual UFO flying by to spectate the fight

ooh, Hornsent warriors would be a better name for this faction, then
🤓
And theyre all hornsent, they get what they deserve
Divine beasts are still horned warriors, just more powerful. Infact, cursebaldes are horned warriors who tries to ascend to become divine beasts and fails, indicating horned warriors become the divine beasts

Getting the hammer dudes Trampling Hooves would've been so sick
It's a woman but yeah would've been cool
@@hypotrainerm actually women can be dudes too 🤓 (Marika basically)
"Dude" is a gender neutral term.

That stand off at the end with Ordovis and Devonia was sick
Ordovis is busted with in these match up's like he doesn't win everytime but he does put up a good fight everytime!
The power of being the only one with a shield...
I wanna see the horned warriors vs that one banished knight in castle Sol. You know the one
Fromsoft: Introduces elden ring and sick asf Aspects of The Crucible abilities
Also Fromsoft: Makes it so you can’t use all of them
Fromsoft Again: Introduces SOTE and allows you to use the rest of the crucible abilities from base game
Also Fromsoft Again: Makes twice as many new abilities that you can’t use
ordovis knows both how he wants to start and end his fights.
i respect his style
Crucible vs big Horned boys, now it will be interesting to see.
Again an amazing job man.
5:20 bro got the perfect timing
Now I want DS3 Black Knights to face these optiminations
Crucible knights are still one of my fav designs in ER, Ordovis GOAT
At 5:20 the music is perfect 🥹✨
3:02 was peak🔥🔥🔥
Tbf, the Divine Warriors feel more like bosses than the Cruicible Knights do.
Need Godfrey to balance it out

Hornsent are really strong. They have infinite poise. Never managed to make one flinch unlike Crucible Knights that flinch from Carian Pierce.
5:06 "oh we using magic now? Okay..."
0:06 that was 🔥🔥🔥
Nothing happened at that time stamp
He just messed up the timing@@TheUnkindledTarnished
Your editing skills are as sharp as the swords in these battles. Flawless transitions!
thanks
5:21 That sync was so crazy
3:02 that was cold af🥶
Got some Warriors vs Knights vibes. Their movesets show what manner the two factions fight in
Knight Team Vs Warrior Team. Great work Bro❤❤❤
thanks
@@EldenRingFights you're welcome❤❤❤
Banished knight would be cool
The fkcing dual wield 1
Ordovis is king forever
this really does make me think that there is a Godfrey connection in the DLC
Double stun to front kick was FIRE
2:15 horned warrior with the perfect dodge attack 😮💨
Bird Warrior vs Devonia Best fight in the video imo
What they all have in common is the feeling I get when I turn a corner and there one is…😮
7:15 that kick was personal 😂😂
05:27 omg, divine beast actually broke his poise in 2 moves. thats crazy
The music starting when Devonia enters was perfect ❤ 1:07
thanks
13:44-14:00 was absolute cinema
thanks
I’m certain that there are mods for boss v boss fights that enable grabs, kind of absurd they aren’t being used here.
Really wish instead of giving us the crucible wings as an AOW, they could’ve put the shield crucible knight’s sword and made it have that aow like they did with Moonrythill’s sword
Fun watch! How about pitting horned warriors against banished knights next?

Woah
The horned warriors with greatswords remind me of greatsword cathedral knights from DS3.
Today i learned hammer crucible can turn into a centaur.
In the end... Their greatest enemy is themselves...
That one Divine Bird Warrior: ''Uhh, leave me out of this.''
I need to watch the dancers vs bosses vid now
From most powerful to least powerful: Devonia, Divine Bird Warrior, Divine Beast Warrior, Ordovis (Scadutree 20), Siluria (Scadutree 20), Horner Warrior (Twinblades), Horned Warrior (Greatsword), Ordovis, Siluria.
Honestly, giving Ordovis and Siluria 20 Scadutree blessings was overkill since they're designed to be tanks. With that extra defense/damage, they're just way stronger.
Devonia lost to divine bird warrior
In what universe is Divine Bird Warrior stronger than a Divine Beast Warrior. What are you on about?
@@MasoTrumoi Yup, I felt the same. Divine Beast is imo the top for me. It has a start up time delay which can give enemies few free attacks, but once it gets few attacks, its hyper offensive.
@@MasoTrumoi He isn't. But he was doing better in these matchups.
Now let's see them do Capture the Flag
I'm pretty sure the horned warriors are going to win. Their moveset is mental, and they never get staggered
2:25 Bro got stomped out
Horned warriors were zesty asf for that
they all do about the same regular and stance damage and both are prone to try and tank through whatever you throw at them but the horned and the divine beast warriors are faster and even more aggressive than the crucibles, still a really cool battle of terminators
The mobs of the DLC have more life and damage... it's normal that they win but the AI coughs at the same level and it's going to be different anyway. gg for the video.
11:49 According to their armor description, divine bird warriors are a-holes, so this is accurate 💁♂️
This is why or ordivis is the best crucible knight
I need Ordovis as a summon NOW
With the strength of lords they challenged the beasts
Death Knights vs. Divine Beast Warriors
The scadu olympics
Divine beast warrior vs crucible is like sardaukar vs atreides...
Black knights that used crucible incantations could of been included
Do next one of these :
- 10 Messmer soldiers (axe version) vs all bosses
- strongest ghostflame dragon vs all bosses
- Fire knight Kood, Wedo, Salza and Queenlign (strongest version) vs all bosses
- Demi-Human Swordmaster Onze (scale him with the highest dlc dungeon scaling) vs all bosses
thank you for idea.
3:05 have any spell or weapon like this i really love it
i need one of those as bodyguard just for the funz, imagine lol
Ordovis champion
Have the Crucible Knights eaten their Scadutree Fragments?
yes
Why pnjs does not stab with critic?
Death Knight duo vs all knights or the all trio knights ❤❤❤
Devonia my beloved
12:02 Bird warrior died from his wombo combo being too long 😂 suffering from success
You should do messmers troops vs the horn sent ending with the rauh lion vs Mesmer
Battle of Poise Lords
Crucible knight = Black knight
Divine beast warrior = Ringed knight
Divine horned warrior definitely is strongest enemy of elden ring. They have multiple attack types even if you had high level they gonna kicked your ass
I Love Ordovis
Shield and sword variant (Ordovis) will stay as the most iconic knight miniboss of Elden ring
Tf hella out numbered
I'd like to see horned warriors vs ringed knights dlc vs dlc
Ordovis fan
How did the Hornsent lose if they've got warriors on par or even stronger than Crucible Knights??
Numbers and a demigod stood against them.
Apparently Messmer solo'd three Divine Beasts so they probably couldn't handle the 18 inches
Tbh I wanna see this but include the Black Knight bosses
thanks
Horned are blessing by the crucible while the Knight has use it as the source of their power
Ordovis, always
so why didn't the knights used any of their weapon skills in 1v1s?
Ordovis is the GOAT
1:17 denied.
Out of all competitors in here, devonia and a horned warrior in the golden armor has my favourite looking attacks
Sword and shield is the best imo. Divine beast is only good because of its incantations
Nooooo, they're on the same team, don't put them in a fight 😭😭😭😭😭
Horned warrior definitely tops
