Isn’t this one of the first few boss fights in the dlc too? And people are calling it bs? What I’m seeing is a real fun time (minus the camera, that’s the one downside to this fight I’d say but it’s a solid 8/10 with just watching it)
@@therandomsaiyajin it is, but the fact that it 2-3 shots most people unless you run 60 vigor with boosts ontop of that, the fact that it has 3 seperate phases and each switch can heal it or seems to, if it grabs it applies a debuff that if you heal it heals, the lightning throw it does has minimal telegraph from when its thrown to impact its almost instant making it hard to dodge and it will nearly kill most players even at 60 vigor, part of that comes from the the fact you basically have to have the dmg reduction and increase bonuses form the scadutree blessing, im sure some insane player will run through without it, not sure if its plausible since most of its attacks are multi hit and will hit at least once. Follow that by the fact for most players it has major frame drop issues at least on pc and the camera when you are close is especially horrendous.
@@yulfine1688 granted the devs did mention in interviews that this new system would be a key factor in handling the dlc but it is possible to go through without it, just expect sekiro lvls of difficulty which I personally feel is an understatement of the difficulty but I digress, if given time I can see someone brute forcing their way through this fight without shadow blessings (likely thanks to magic buffs but then again this dlc is brutal as hell compared to old games like the DS trilogy and bloodborne so who knows how bad it gets after the lion)
It’s hard but it’s a very doable boss fight. I think what makes it great is that it doesn’t overstays its welcome with a second full heath bar phase. The fact that you kill it once and it’s dead makes it a ton of fun.
no way they make my childhood trauma elden ring boss battle. in my village theres a tradition called "berokan tetetoet". it's a street performance based on lion dance, but becase we don't have the money to make an actual good costume it's just an algamtion of difference type of plastic and cloth strap together to a wooden lion head. instead the sound of roaring lion we use a small diy trumpeth that make like a very creepy stretching noises and sometimes the dancers smack together the top and bottom of the wooden mouth making loud noises. imagine a stretching and smacking noises combine with the creepy movement of the body. as a child i have nighmares after waching that.
@@Afromonkey1998 Yea :/ Always can do another playthrough. Highly recommend because 1v1 learning the movesets is so fun But I am not bashing you for summoning...
@@Afromonkey1998 I used to force myself to never use a mimic or ally to beat a boss but for this one I wanted to try, to see the damage we could do to him. and so I discovered the boss's phases directly and I had so much fun.

And for this experience I don't regret having beaten him like that, as long as we have fun on the game that's the important thing
@@samysun_if this guy already seems impossible, I’m just giving up on this shit, no way I’m getting anywhere if this garbage is keeping me from doing anything
I beat him after 4 hours without summons on a lvl120 account. I just attacked relentlessly and dodges all the moves up close. Eventually i got lucky and staggered him out every time he went into lightning phase.
True. The game deliberately sometimes makes you or the boss survive at 1hp and he did. Not just that but the simultaneous finish. My dude had the power of God on his side
Ima be honest and a lot of people who actually fought this guy are gonna think I sound crazy but this fight genuinely seems a lot of fun compared to things like fire giant and a few other base game bosses. I really like its bizarre movements and how it changes elements with each phase until you kill it. And that theme swap with each theme, god this fight is definitely that difficulty slider where it makes you second guess yourself for starting this dlc
It really is. At first it might seem absurdly hard but once you realize it’s just one phase with 1 health bar you realize how doable it is, even though it’s still hard.
@@Ocean5ix at first i thought it was absurd but after learning his moves, his kit Seemed fair and ez to read. Most players dont want to learn, but instead turn their brain off (Summons). My fight was cinematic, because i dealt 300 dmg every hit with my greatsword, which made the fight very long and interesting with the musik
@@terminator6431 I resorted to summons back in base due to Maliketh but this fight, this fight I’d say I can handle solo after a few attempts of figuring out each of his phases attacks. This fight seems really brutal due to either, people not learning and just brute forcing their way through it, ignoring the shadow blessing mechanic (which ties into the first thing), or just don’t really care and want to get to more important fights which all are kinda bad excuses since the devs directly mentioned this was gonna be hard and you’re gonna need to rely on the new mechanics to have a good foot hold in this dlc or you’re gonna suffer badly As for this boss, he’s definitely the most tame of them, I’ve seen the final boss and dear god it’s a bullet hell fight… I won’t say anything else but just expect the worst from the final boss of the dlc
@@invisiblecoupeyeah, you should be able to tell what a boss is doing, maybe not down to the exact moves unless you practice, but you should easily be able to see if the boss is moving towards you or winding up an attack, and you just can’t do that with this guy.
Saying full boss fight and then pulling up with the elenoaras poleblade is like promising a full movie and giving you the supercut, my boy didn't even get to have a first phase lol
@@Blair1690No one said that they need to play hardcore, it’s just funny that this video is titled “Full Boss Fight” and they completely skip the first phase of the boss by removing half its health in the first 30 seconds with this OP build.

you and the boss KOing eachother and actually getting the win was sick. This particular fight was so badass, he had you down to a Miyazaki pixel. Your hands had to have been shaking so hard lmao
Holy shit this boss is actually amazing like I feel all of its attacks are really cool, it's animations are beautiful and it's really challenging in a good way! I was hyped for this boss specifically when I saw the trailer and it did not disappoint
@@megamule9ty352 i started him with lvl 130, was very underleveled but after 16 Tries i finaly got him, no Cheese, no status effects and no meta weapon. I beat him with the greatsword dropped by first cave boss, the one with the Fast crossbow.
@@terminator6431 @terminator6431 very nice, you're probably miles ahead of me then skill-wise!! I think i ended up beating it in around 25 attempts at level 115 with a giant crusher (don't know if it counts as a meta weapon though).
@@kamikarmy was finally able to beat it. I chug a wondrous physick for the lightning phase and just hope I survive it. The other phases are more manageable cuz no BS RNG lightning aoe
This boss made me absolutely rage. Couldn't handle weird way the camera moves when locked onto it, and half the time I couldn't tell what attack was coming, which made it incredibly frustrating. On top of that, it'll constantly 2-hit you off a stagger which you don't recover from in time to didge the second attack, which meant I was basically dead off the first hit. I relented and tried once using Mimic Tear and beat it first try that way. Seems like an oddly misbalanced boss. Ridiculously hard solo, really easy with a summon.
I tried to use Knight's Greatsword and Marai's executioner but it did nothing. like 600 damage out of 42k ish HP with a dual attack then I swapped to Morgott's Cursed Sword and Bloodhound's Fang and beat him after A lot of attempts. Most of It's attacks are dodgeable with enough time learning. my biggest gripe is that the grab killed me at 1700 hp(51 Vigor)and that it has so many attack that can either be cancelled or added on to othere, like the double twirl into head butt, into the spinning around on 2 legs spewing whatever element it has. And when it lies down and chomps either 1, 2 ir 3 times depending on where the player is. the small arena, the crazy zoning it does and the fact that the delays are either suuuuuper long or not at all like the lightning spear and the single chomp close range. when all is said and done I loved the macabre yet cool design, the godly visuals and the absolute best OST they've done in a while. really fit the dancing theme and the rapid tempo it would fuck me at. 120k runes for this shit and 350k for Mohg is braindead.
I was also raging because of the camera bs and the similar looking attacks, but your issue with getting knocked down and being punished for roll recovering is simple enough to remedy. Just don't roll as soon as you get knocked down. Wait for it's next attack and then roll. More often than not the attacks that knock you down are designed to have a followup roll catch, but also have a window for healing afterwards if you're patient.
Unfortunately I did it solo with dryleaf fist, it was just a skill issue It would be nice if you didn't have to at all, but locking off at certain times makes the camera problems 100x better
the new levelling system means the higher level you are, the harder the bosses will be. anything after level 200 is going to make the bosses pretty extreme i would say. the best place to be is probably between 80-150 if i had to guess, but i’m on 170
Minus the camera, this boss was fucking awesome. The music syncs, how the moves seemingly are designed to make you dance, the element changes. All awesome.
Definitely on my top 5 hardest souls bosses and I've played all games, lots of new players love to complain about the difficulty of the dlc but it's a real treat for us long fans of the series
This boss was astounding, honestly a 10/10. Honestly normally i’m so happy when I first try a boss but i’d love to fight this cinematic masterpiece of a boss once more
This guy is NOT qualified to be showcasing the fight. I don't think he dodged a single one of his moves. Not saying he's bad, but he's either getting hit or spamming the weapon art, which means it's not great for people who want to get better at the fight by watching a video.
Wtf!!! I started my run in NG+3 and that lion boss can kill me with one shot, that's crazy how I learned every patron of attack for reach the second phase with my bloodhound fang
had no idea this mf could steal your health if you heal after that grab attack. that grab one shot me every time lol that is insane design. we are so back
I spent three hours using the pole blade but there just weren’t any windows to punish using the blood dance without getting absolutely manhandled … well done!
Street Fighter 2 Announcer: Double KO!!! It's crazy seeing these bosses and then going back to Dark Souls and seeing stuff like Artorias who was considered quite difficult for the time and just seeing how much harder/complex bosses have gotten since then.
The boss is so phenomenal. It’s very chaotic (especially in the lightning phrase), but oh my god is it such a spectacular fight. It really is a performance, in all respects of the word. All that is missing is an audience.
Good things about this fight: -Banger ost (obviously) -I love the design of the boss Bad things about this fight: -Too much running around trying to catch up to the boss -Wonky camera -Can't tell if he's simply moving or attacking (at least for me)
*Strumpet. And it’s a person who has many sexual relations. By the dialogue alone, whoever summoned the Divine Beast to rise was referring to how much of a slut Marika is (since she did the mommy-daddy dance with both Godfrey AND Radagon), not knowing full-well it was the Hornsent her people died by, and why Messmer the Impaler launched a crusade.
This boss is SO fun when the camera actually fucking works lmao It doesn't ruin the boss outright but man it'd be way better if the camera didn't struggle to keep up with him or get caught on walls
Such incredible boss fight and the sync with the music is just so nice. If only I don't have to fight the camera. Seriously tho, this DLC taught me when to not locking on.
This is an unfair boss for 2 very specific reasons: 1. The camera 2. The lightning phase: when he does the full 4 attack combo (the one that ends with thr breath), because he summons lightning, the 2nd and 3rd attack are not dodgeable because you will get struck by lightning when coming out of the roll. The only way to counter it is to run away as much as possible, but that has 2 other problems: the arena is too small (you can get cornered into the wall) and it incentivices a passive gameplay which is one of the main problems with ER
yeah, I'm interested to see how people no-hit the boss without literally 1 or 2-shotting it with cheese, because lightning seems impossible without incredible luck. You have like 3 or 4 hurtboxes popping up all over you, all around your i-frames. So how exactly are you supposed to avoid it?
I’m 100% calling it that the 1st patch for this DLC will be nerfing this boss dramatically. Unless you summon good luck beating it legit 😂 Even pre-patched Radahn wasn’t as OP as this boss was.
Nah when you learn his move set he becomes ridiculously easy tbh just alot of dodging. Y’all need to stop crying for nerfs cuz you’re bad. You’re ruining the game
@@marvinragen how do you "just dodge" lightning phase? Everything else, sure but that? I'm genuinely curious, because it doesn't seem possible to evade damage reliably.
The way the music syncs to his elemental phasing is so awesome. Took me about 7 tries on my shitty build. Awesome spectacle boss, but in hindsight that camera makes learning its attacks awful. It's okay if you're just trying to beat it, but doing well or going for a hitless attempt for personal achievement is going to be a pain the higher the game cycles go.
I kept wondering whether you are supposed to stack buffs and 1-shot its second phase, lol. Because I'm not sure what the answer to lightning is even though I defeated the boss. It just blankets the arena semi-randomly. Combined with his physical attacks, sometimes I don't see how you can possibly survive if you get unlucky.
It has human-like teeth behind the Lion teeth and it's jaw is unhinged held up by human hands and it's eyes are unnaturally dim light blue with no pupil or sclera and it's Lion face has smooth human-like edges where it doesn't seem right, and the cutscene look it gives you is also just unsettling as hell. it's mane is also like long human hair that falls instead of being rough bristles that jot out in the directions they grow.
this boss is insanely hard and demoralizing for the first 1.30 hours of me fighting him. Insanely fast and he always 2 shot me. But once i figure out the pattern, it became one of the most fun bosses i had to fight in a while, still took me 4 hours to beat tho ☠
I can’t be sure but the Scadutree buff scales 99% of the damage you deal. In terms of the damage you take from the boss, that seems about right for any level. I’m on NG1 level 150 and that’s pretty much how it is.
I just beat him and I am level 193 on NG+ 1 and he could 3 shot me if I wasn’t careful, I had some of the new buffs for the dlc so I’m sure that helped a bit too.

Minus the camera, this boss was fucking awesome. The music syncs, how the moves seemingly are designed to make you dance, the element changes. All awesome.
Definitely on my top 5 hardest souls bosses and I've played all games, lots of new players love to complain about the difficulty of the dlc but it's a real treat for us long fans of the series
absolutely terrifying intro cutscene. That roar!!
An actual relatable boss kill.
Just got to this boss, and the fight is insane. From lightning to frostbite and crazy thrust attacks. Insane
This boss was astounding, honestly a 10/10. Honestly normally i’m so happy when I first try a boss but i’d love to fight this cinematic masterpiece of a boss once more
i forgot to switch off the kai cenat blasphemous blade and beat it first try and it was just empty
@@adachyI just fought him with my most fire fit and 2 guts swords
@@Kermfz the best way to do it
everybody gangsta till the dancing lion pulls out the lightning spear
The first time i saw his tornado attack i was so amazed i forgot to dodge😂
I hated this Boss but after beating i really to fight him again, that moment when he fly and activate the lightening was so epic
if next year Chinese New Year celebration, someone cosplaying this gonna b epic
Where do we go afterwards, the next part blocked by shadow?
You go somewhere else lol
Yeah I went and found the Ghost flame Dragon… good times.
@@karubottlefingers Same. it can kill me in 1 attack :)
@@karubottlefingersjust stick by his legs and jump
2:27 this part is so cinematic, the way the boss moves along with the music is peak boss fight in my opinion.
peak gaming, literally i cant remember when i was this hyped while any boss fight
I just spent 1.5 hours fighting this thing on ng level 90 with the reduvia. Definitely coolest boss I’ve seen so far. Love this game
THE LIGHTNING OF TOMOEEEEEEEE
Wielded by two Omen wearing a lion costume.
the ost is banger lmao, divine beast dancing camera
You guys were dancing! I can't wait to face him he's so beautiful!
Great video. This is such a great first boss for the DLC. I sadly had to use the mimic tear to finally defeat him tho.
Is so unreal the subtle chinese flute music mixed with elden ring esque orchestra goes so fucking hard
This guy is NOT qualified to be showcasing the fight. I don't think he dodged a single one of his moves. Not saying he's bad, but he's either getting hit or spamming the weapon art, which means it's not great for people who want to get better at the fight by watching a video.
Tarnished fights beast: Inhabitants of the city getting annoyed by the frequent weather changes ⛈️->🌪️->❄️
This is peak example of why Fromsoft always make the best designs. Incredible world building while being extremely unique and creative
i cant unsee the 2 people being "the" dancing lion 😂.
Wtf!!! I started my run in NG+3 and that lion boss can kill me with one shot, that's crazy how I learned every patron of attack for reach the second phase with my bloodhound fang
My first real boss from the DLC and it doesn't disappoint, awesome fight and spectacle
had no idea this mf could steal your health if you heal after that grab attack. that grab one shot me every time lol that is insane design. we are so back
I spent three hours using the pole blade but there just weren’t any windows to punish using the blood dance without getting absolutely manhandled … well done!
They knew what they were doing with the lightning bolt attack. Lmao. Tricking you to believe they're delayed like Radagons😂. Thanks Michael Zaki
Not using left hand and not two handing the twin blade hurt me haha
This boss is brutal but incredible. The soundtrack is otherworldly good and he’s just terrifying.
DRAW
This was an amazing fight, I loved it. Super cool and the music is dope af.
The back dude was flaunting it all 1:33 😂 also good job!! Hard ass boss
I just defeated him…. I honestly loved the background music. This DLC is going to be peak
This fight was so cool
That soundtrack goes insane
Street Fighter 2 Announcer: Double KO!!!
It's crazy seeing these bosses and then going back to Dark Souls and seeing stuff like Artorias who was considered quite difficult for the time and just seeing how much harder/complex bosses have gotten since then.
I was just thinking that. Like when you go back and do Nameless King and it's a joke now. Back in the day he was the peak.
The boss is so phenomenal. It’s very chaotic (especially in the lightning phrase), but oh my god is it such a spectacular fight. It really is a performance, in all respects of the word. All that is missing is an audience.
Good things about this fight:
-Banger ost (obviously)
-I love the design of the boss
Bad things about this fight:
-Too much running around trying to catch up to the boss
-Wonky camera
-Can't tell if he's simply moving or attacking (at least for me)
Aye do yall know what a STROMPET IS?!? 😂😂😂
*Strumpet. And it’s a person who has many sexual relations. By the dialogue alone, whoever summoned the Divine Beast to rise was referring to how much of a slut Marika is (since she did the mommy-daddy dance with both Godfrey AND Radagon), not knowing full-well it was the Hornsent her people died by, and why Messmer the Impaler launched a crusade.
An alternate timeline:
Where Gaming's dad truly thinks Lion Dancing was a joke.
This boss is SO fun when the camera actually fucking works lmao
It doesn't ruin the boss outright but man it'd be way better if the camera didn't struggle to keep up with him or get caught on walls
Such incredible boss fight and the sync with the music is just so nice. If only I don't have to fight the camera. Seriously tho, this DLC taught me when to not locking on.
Bro like 30 tries at 150 and i finally beat him im shaking rn
Good shit man me too. I used the NPC summon, which I later found out actually just makes that boss harder lol
@@roe__jogan yeah i wanted to summon for shits and giggles but i wanted to learn the moves, little did i know what i was in for
@@roe__joganhow does it make it harder
@@mohaamar4106 it increases health
New game plus I beat him in 10 tries. The most frustrating thing fighting him was fighting the camera 😂
This is an unfair boss for 2 very specific reasons:
1. The camera
2. The lightning phase: when he does the full 4 attack combo (the one that ends with thr breath), because he summons lightning, the 2nd and 3rd attack are not dodgeable because you will get struck by lightning when coming out of the roll. The only way to counter it is to run away as much as possible, but that has 2 other problems: the arena is too small (you can get cornered into the wall) and it incentivices a passive gameplay which is one of the main problems with ER
yeah, I'm interested to see how people no-hit the boss without literally 1 or 2-shotting it with cheese, because lightning seems impossible without incredible luck. You have like 3 or 4 hurtboxes popping up all over you, all around your i-frames. So how exactly are you supposed to avoid it?
This thing throwing lightning better than Radagon.
I’m 100% calling it that the 1st patch for this DLC will be nerfing this boss dramatically. Unless you summon good luck beating it legit 😂
Even pre-patched Radahn wasn’t as OP as this boss was.
Nah when you learn his move set he becomes ridiculously easy tbh just alot of dodging. Y’all need to stop crying for nerfs cuz you’re bad. You’re ruining the game
@@marvinragen how do you "just dodge" lightning phase? Everything else, sure but that? I'm genuinely curious, because it doesn't seem possible to evade damage reliably.
The way the music syncs to his elemental phasing is so awesome. Took me about 7 tries on my shitty build. Awesome spectacle boss, but in hindsight that camera makes learning its attacks awful. It's okay if you're just trying to beat it, but doing well or going for a hitless attempt for personal achievement is going to be a pain the higher the game cycles go.
I kept wondering whether you are supposed to stack buffs and 1-shot its second phase, lol. Because I'm not sure what the answer to lightning is even though I defeated the boss. It just blankets the arena semi-randomly. Combined with his physical attacks, sometimes I don't see how you can possibly survive if you get unlucky.
The camera angle is driving me insane
I can’t see what he does which mean I cant fuckin dodge property
Does this boss steal your heal or something? I saw red trails fly into him when you drank a flask
Yep. When he used his flask, it’s health regenerated. Oh dear god…
Since this thing was in the trailer I don´t mind getting spoiled on it too much...
it´s face unsettles me for some reason though
It has human-like teeth behind the Lion teeth and it's jaw is unhinged held up by human hands and it's eyes are unnaturally dim light blue with no pupil or sclera and it's Lion face has smooth human-like edges where it doesn't seem right, and the cutscene look it gives you is also just unsettling as hell. it's mane is also like long human hair that falls instead of being rough bristles that jot out in the directions they grow.
What causes the boss to heal itself? Does it just happen after a certain amount of time?
this boss is insanely hard and demoralizing for the first 1.30 hours of me fighting him. Insanely fast and he always 2 shot me. But once i figure out the pattern, it became one of the most fun bosses i had to fight in a while, still took me 4 hours to beat tho ☠
I’m on ng+9 vigor 99 still got 2 tap seriously should I just load a new game 😮💨
I think so unfortunately
Ya you probably should. Unless you’re going for a hitless run
I can’t be sure but the Scadutree buff scales 99% of the damage you deal.
In terms of the damage you take from the boss, that seems about right for any level. I’m on NG1 level 150 and that’s pretty much how it is.
I just beat him and I am level 193 on NG+ 1 and he could 3 shot me if I wasn’t careful, I had some of the new buffs for the dlc so I’m sure that helped a bit too.
Im ng6 and is rly hard eith 2 big hammer
The soundtrack on this boss is amazing
A truly poetic finish to a great battle
I started laughing so hard when the frost came out he has so many abilities 😂😂😂😂
