This is a bounty kill put up by PhenecX and hosted on the Champions Respite discord server. The goal was to kill Friede with the above restrictions while the Lothric War banner buff was active at all times, causing her AI to go crazy due to how the buff is coded and enabling her to glitch out and spam dashes, use stance attacks in p2, combo cancels/random followups in p3 and more broken stuff.
I took a RNG hit at around 2:10, and a few partial scythe slams I couldnt interrupt. Other than that, the kill is clean and p1/p3 are flawless. I also used the Ariandel 50% hp AI loop to make the phase 2 slightly more consistent, which helped in getting the kill.
This was a cursed kill but fun at the same time. Worth its reward for sure.

Worlds first and all I guess, it was fun trying to see if that kill was possible. The fight is segmented between each phase, but phases themselves are done in one go.
Phase 1 is flawless, phase 2 took some hits due to RNG when cancelling a heal without being in a safe window to backsab, friede can animation cancel the hitstun into a quick slash which is unavoidable under these circumstances. They also got some heals off in p2, here again RNG with friede jumping to heal right under a fire breath from Ariandel without giving me any chance to redirect it like I do normally. Ive redone p2 several times and came to the conclusion that uncancellable heals and quick slashes are bound to happen, it only depends on how lucky you get or not. Phase 3 also took 2 hits total, one hit that was completely RNG due to a R2 close to wall which friede decided to hitstun cancel into a point blank gap closer swing, which is an obvious AI glitch that has a low chance to happen. The second hit was chip damage from a jumping scythe slam close to a wall (or maybe that was in a previous attempt). Phase 3 could theoretically be done flawless if you dont get fucked over by RNG, but that could be hours to weeks of grinding just to get flawless for the sake of flawless so no interest in that whatsoever. As for phase 2 flawlessing is likely impossible, because that would require not going for unbackstabbable heals which means extending the phase by another 5-8 minutes giving friede 2-3 more opportunities to go heal and so on on a forever loop.
Phase 1 plays out relatively similar to normal no roll fights, with the difference of going to break furniture as soon as you get a chance otherwise youre bound to get either you or friede stuck on it at some point. Best opportunity for that is when she goes invisible, or you can also give up on a wakeup punish to destroy a nearby furniture instead.
Phase 2 is the patience test, its not as mechanically hard as the other two, besides tense situations like Ariandel doing a quad slam charge point blank or getting in the crossfire of a charge, ice path and wall that needs you to think fast. Most of the difficulty comes from cancelling heals, which most of the time require to redirect a fire breath since Ariandel tends to do these a lot when friede heals due to the relative positioning of everyone. You also need to be very mindful of ice paths for the frost buildup, since you cant just shrug them off by rolling outside of them. That means having good camera control and awareness of what friede is doing, otherwise youre frostbitten before you know it, even with armor.
Phase 3 is where shit goes down, period. You cant blink or think about something else for one second even when shes idle walking or she can do a gap closer, grab or serpents and immediately fuck you over if you dont react in time. You can see me repositioning constantly even when she isnt doing anything because you always need space behind you, otherwise being back to a wall when friede goes for a grab is the end of the attempt. Same could be said for the jumping scythe slams, except that counterplay is possible for them as you can run under them similarily to the jump AoEs if youre close enough and react instantly (since she doesnt stay in stance more than a second compared to p1). Black serpents also create dangerous situations depending on how she acts while you strafe them, since they curve behind you and their hitbox stays active a bit, causing RNG scenarios. This is especially true on mouse and keyboard, since you can only angle your sprinting in 8 directions when locked-on you cant strafe properly the second black serpent without unlocking, which sometimes gets friede outside of your camera. This phase is stressful.

This fight is probably impossible to unsegment, simply because that means going through one hour of no roll p1/2 each time only to do 20-25 mins of p3 where you can immediately die to unavoidable RNG such as double black serpents into instant grab, which you cant realistically interrupt in the middle of the fight with everything else happening. Friede also has a ton of memes and AI glitches that you only notice in very long kills (hitstun cancels for one, also got an invisible black serpent without the ice paths first in this kill along with general wonky stuff). Thats assuming you have top notch reactions and dodges to everything else she does, of course. Actual months of grinding for a result that is by no means guaranteed to happen. But anyone is welcome to try.

Good fight, much enjoyed. This boss literally T-poses on the player during an attack to assert dominance, respect.
That being said 4:19 okay ? I swear you almost cant have a single kill in this game without some jank moment showing up in there")

A solo, melee only no hits taken kill at Rune Level 1 (RL1) of the Beast Clergyman aka Maliketh the Black Blade, required boss guarding the Rune of Death necessary to burn down the Edrtree and cover Leyndell capital in ashes. I also went and collected all Deathroot in the game to unlock secret dialogue giving diffent opener and death lines during the fight, a nice detail from the devs.
The phase 1 against Beast Clergyman can be annoyingly erratic before getting all the dodges down, then it evolves into a somewhat turn based combat since its dangerous to go for more than single hit punishes every time he attacks. Maliketh phase 2 is much more fun with how the Black Blade hits can be strafed or jumped over for extra aggression, a bit of visual clutter with red particles but overall quite the fun boss to fight !

Not a clean phase 1 by any means but a very good p2 with stuff like teleport dodge and the low backhand strafe. I was messing around with bandits knife strat for a bit which was more fun and aggressive yet made the loop much harder to maintain, but eventually stopped after Lothric gave me a middle finger with RNG for the 5th time in a row in p2 https://youtu.be/IJcFzXs7FKU and eventually settled for the regular slower but safer DSA strat.
P-S : 3:12 nice try Lothric, that almost worked out")
