    Gotta love and respect how many different things are utilized in those fights. Different weapons with their ashes of war, different spells, even Scarlet Aeonia, parrying with carian retaliation out of fucking nowhere. All of these things have a role for the fight and a purpose with the timing when best used. I've only seen some of these fights randomly pop up on UA-cam until now, but after seeing this beautiful way of beating the Lion, one of the few bosses thats still giving me trouble, done no hit, i'm gonna sub. I need to see more of these builds in action and maybe i'll learn some things from them as well.

    The fluid movement from both Ongbal and the Lion, partnered with the amazing OST. The variety of weapon and weapon arts used by Ongbal and the control of the weather from the Lion makes it feel like a crazy theatre performance. This is a certifed Realm of Shadow classic.

    amazing video once again, also, another fun ash of war to use while the lion is using his breath weapon is the gravity thrust you get from gaius

    Where some other players spam the same meta moves over and over again for their no damage vids, Ongbal styles on the boss with concept builds utilizing underwhelming weapons. Seeing Romina's Purification used to dodge the spin moves was incredible.

    the poleblade going over low ground attacks is a nice discovery. Love that ash of war, but the slightest touch sends you falling down lol

    Damn I just did no damage the same boss few minutes ago but my run is far from optimized your videos are entertaining and can be used as a guide to no hit the boss!! K eep up the good work
