Dark Souls 2 Mytha SL1 NG+7 CoC No Rolling/Blocking/Parrying Xerieh 2026-09-20 | Dark Souls 2 Mytha SL1 NG+7 CoC No Rolling/Blocking/Parrying
Demon Prince SL1 NG+7 Torch only No Rolling/Blocking/Parrying Xerieh 2024-06-12 | Recently I've found myself wanting to do another really long no roll fight like in the days of old so here it is.Also this kill is now my new longest no roll fight I have done beating out my +0 weapons Soul of Cinder no roll from 2019 in length.
Gamo Ujisato Level 1 NG+4 (DotN) Xerieh 2024-04-02 | While going for combos like this is enjoyable in it's own way I think this is also a problem with a lot of human bosses in Nioh 2.The first two or three times it's nice to be able to destroy the human bosses like this but after that I personally think it gets old though I can see why you'd like this kind of fight if you're more of an action game player.I much preferred the Nioh 1 living weapon based human fights since those were more about dodging the boss's attacks and knowing when to punish whereas the Nioh 2 human bosses are more about knowing how to keep them out of ki and comboing them to death.
Level 1 Floor 16 Shuten Doji Xerieh 2024-03-17 | This is the only way to fight this version of Shuten Doji solo since in the mission you fight this guy you're accompanied by Yorimitsu.
Regal Ancestor Spirit RL1 NG+7 (No Talismans, No Buffs) Xerieh 2024-03-16 | I did not expect him to stagger twice but I guess that's what happens when you spam jumping attacks.I'm not a big fan of his heal since you pretty much have to pre-emptively get away if you're directly under him since if you wait for it to start you'll be too slow.
Mohg, Lord of Blood RL1 NG+7 (No Talismans, No Buffs) Xerieh 2024-03-13 | I wasn't sure if the "buff" that lets you tank the Nihils better should count as buff or not so that's why I didn't use it.I found a slightly better way of managing the fire in phase 2 but I'm still not a fan of it and would say it makes the fight more annoying than enjoyable.
Mezuki and Gozuki Level 1 NG+4 (DotN) Xerieh 2024-03-06 | It's been a very long time since the last time I did a Nioh gank fight at level 1 so here's the only gank boss in Nioh 2 unless I'm misremembering.
Astel, Naturalborn of the Void RL1 NG+7 (No Talismans, No Buffs) Xerieh 2024-02-29 | I like how you can dodge through his gravity attack even though it looks like you shouldn't be able to.I don't really like his meteor rain attack since the way the meteors spawn feel random.
Lichdragon Fortissax RL1 NG+7 (No Talismans, No Buffs) Xerieh 2024-02-28 | I'm still not quite sure if going for the head is really worth it against this boss, I had a kill in which I only hit the legs and that kill was about 6 minutes and this time I tried to go for the head and this kill ended up being about 5 minutes so I think if you are using bleed or frost you're probably just better off going for the legs and maybe even with some more slower weapons since he doesn't really give you a lot of time to hit his head.
Starscourge Radahn RL1 NG+7 (No Talismans, No Buffs) Xerieh 2024-02-27 | I actually thought I died there at the end when I was playing since I didn't expect that L1 to kill, I thought I would need to do one more hit after.
Radagon of the Golden Order and Elden Beast RL1 NG+7 (No Talismans, No Buffs) Xerieh 2024-02-23 | I tried parrying Radagon for a bit but much like with Morgott it ended up making the fight harder for no real gain so I dropped parrying as a consideration, one thing worth mentioning though is Radagon has a unique grab attack response after being parried that is faster than his normal grab so that's interesting that they bothered to make a unique attack for if he gets parried. (The animation of the attack is the same as the regular grab, it just comes out faster than the normal grab so you have to roll much earlier)
Mohg, the Omen RL1 NG+7 (No Talismans, No Buffs) Xerieh 2024-02-22 | This guy was on the way to Fortissax so why not.
Sir Gideon Ofnir, the All-Knowing RL1 NG+7 (No Talismans, No Buffs) Xerieh 2024-02-17 | Also no rolling, jumping, blocking or parrying I guess.I spent about an hour farming for the Noble's Estoc for this, I'd say it was worth it.
Maliketh, the Black Blade RL1 NG+7 (No Talismans, No Buffs) Xerieh 2024-02-16 | I found out much like Hoarah Loux if you knock this guy into phase 2 with a riposte your character's position stays in the location you riposted him instead of being moved to the default starting location for phase 2.I decided to use the Blasphemous Claw for this kill to differentiate it from the torch only fight in which I didn't use it, I personally think the fight is more enjoyable if you use the Blasphemous Claw since you can punish him more often if you parry him with it.
Morgott, the Omen King RL1 NG+7 (No Talismans, No Buffs) Xerieh 2024-02-10 | I experimented with parrying on this boss for a bit and I concluded that it wasn't that great and it made the fight more annoying for no real benefit since a riposte only does about 1200 damage and three L1s does about 1100, also I think it is just more enjoyable to fight him like this since you can go pretty aggressive against this guy.
Margit, the Fell Omen RL1 NG+7 (No Talismans, No Buffs) Xerieh 2024-02-09 | I actually enjoy parrying quite a bit in Elden Ring so when there's an opportunity to parry a boss I'm going to try to see if I can incorporate parrying into my strategy.
Godfrey/Hoarah Loux RL1 NG+7 (No Talismans, No Buffs) Xerieh 2024-02-08 | Trying to strafe this guy using jumps in phase 2.5 is so awkward to do.
Sanada Yukimura Level 1 NG+4 (WotN) Level 1 Katana kill Xerieh 2024-02-07 | All the way back in 2018 I did this same kill but much worse and I've always wanted to revisit this kill ever since I got much better at Nioh.As a little added challenge I wanted to see if I could beat this fight without having to reproc the Earth effect after the first time and I managed to do just that here so that was cool.
Malenia, Blade of Miquella RL1 NG+7 (No Talismans, No Buffs) Xerieh 2024-02-05 | This might be the hardest fight I've done in which rolling is allowed with only 5v1 from the start Belfry Gargoyles using the Old Knight Hammer really coming close but that one was more due to how little openings there were rather than it being mechanically difficult like this fight.After having learnt phase 2 much better I am now of the belief that phase 2 is actually much easier than phase 1.One of the most threatening things she can do in phase 1 is deflect your swing and slide backwards into doing the fast attack which is something she cannot do in phase 2 as far as I could tell.Another thing that makes phase 2 easier is it's very easy to bait her into doing the kick that leads into the jump which is quite a big opening allowing a rolling R1 on the kick and a charged R2 on the jump once she lands.
Maliketh, the Black Blade RL1 NG+7 Torch only (No Blasphemous Claw) Xerieh 2024-01-29 | I was expecting this fight to be around 8 minutes long but after learning the fight better I managed to kill him a lot quicker than I had initially thought the fight would be.3:29 this attack is technically punishable with a charged R2 if you roll through the ground AOE after he lands but if he does the roar he will get hit so it's not 100% safe unfortunately.
Date Masamune Level 1 NG+4 (WotN) Level 1 Katana kill Xerieh 2024-01-28 | This is probably the hardest boss in the game to do like this because of how difficult water phase can be to fight well and the insane amount of dashing away he does which adds to how annoying water phase can be sometimes.Luckily he stops the dashing away once his ki is below 50%.Oh and sometimes he can just block your attacks even if he's out of ki and not get guard broken.
Dragonlord Placidusax RL1 NG+7 Xerieh 2023-12-31 | I think this might be the best boss in Elden Ring with only Maliketh coming close to that title.This boss has some really nice details like how the music completely stops when he goes for the big AOE and how you can jump over the tail to avoid one of his fire breath attacks which reminds me of how you dodge one of Sinh's fire breath attacks in DS2.
Magma Wyrm Makar RL1 NG+7 Xerieh 2023-12-29 | I like how the area this boss is located in looks, it's a shame you never really have to go to this area.
Commander ONeil RL1 NG+7 Xerieh 2023-12-28 | The only interesting thing to say about this fight is the greatswords have a very good swing arc off of horseback to deal with the summons.
Ren Hayabusa Level 1 NG+4 (DotN) Xerieh 2023-12-28 | For some reason it randomly popped into my head that I never did this boss on this run so here it is.As always God of Wind with lightning and corruption absolutely destroys human bosses in this game.I guess this is also a good demonstration as to why I think Dual Swords are meta for level 1 in this game.
Lichdragon Fortissax RL1 NG+7 Xerieh 2023-12-27 | I like the music and aesthetic for this fight but the fight itself I'm sort of neutral on.He takes more damage to the head but he doesn't really give you many opportunities to hit the head so it just ends up being better to go for the legs.The only time I found you can do a lot of hits to the head was when he does the fire breath while on the ground but unfortunately he doesn't really do that attack very often since I believe he only does it if you are far away from him and it's much better to stay close and get into a rhythm of hitting the legs, lightning, disengage, reengage, hit the legs, lightning and so on.
Fias Champions RL1 NG+7 Xerieh 2023-12-26 | Fia really needs to get herself some simps, if these were Ina's simps I would've had to roll, jump, sprint, block and parry to beat them.
Misbegotten Warrior and Crucible Knight RL1 NG+7 Xerieh 2023-12-26 | I'm not sure why I bothered with this fight but my friend @LedZepphead likes this fight for some reason so why not.
Misbegotten Crusader RL1 NG+7 Xerieh 2023-12-23 | This is I believe the strongest variant of the Misbegotten bosses.Dual greatswords work really well here since you can stagger him out of a lot of attacks and lets you play more aggressively because of it although you can't go too aggro since he will use some kind of hyper-armour attack to break out of the staggers so I found going for 3 L1s to be quite risky.
Regal Ancestor Spirit RL1 NG+7 Xerieh 2023-12-23 | I managed to kill him before he healed so that's cool I guess.The Ancestor Spirits really feels like a fight that should have more to it like maybe they originally intended Torrent to receive upgrades or something and this was a boss you'd have to kill in order to get said Torrent upgrade but they ditched that idea during development or something.
Full-Grown Fallingstar Beast RL1 NG+7 Xerieh 2023-12-21 | This boss takes more damage to the head but it's kind of hard to hit the head consistently unless he's on a lower elevation or after certain attacks so you're most of the time better off hitting it's body.
Borealis the Freezing Fog RL1 NG+7 Xerieh 2023-12-20 | This one wasn't as bad as I had initially expected it would be.With this dragon in particular you want to try to stay in front of him as much as possible to be able to dodge the ice roar attack.
Glintstone Dragon Adula RL1 NG+7 Xerieh 2023-12-20 | I don't know what happened at 0:54 but that's probably the most interesting thing that's happened while fighting any of these dragons.
Death Rite Bird RL1 NG+7 Xerieh 2023-12-18 | I put this boss in the Super Ultra F category just below Regular Ultra F I put Rennala.So this boss has an AOE that shoots out 5 beams of fire which don't seem to fire in the same directions every time so you just sort of have to hope they don't hit you when he does the AOE.The rain of spears is surprisingly easy to dodge, you just stand in front of the parts that glow on the ground and roll backwards into them once the rain of spears starts since the spears never land in the same spots twice so once a spear has landed in that spot it's safe to roll to that spot.
Orphan of Kos BL4 NG+6 No Rolling/Quickstepping (No Blood gems, Runes, Buffs) Xerieh 2023-12-17 | I'm quite pleased with how this one turned out, I always wanted an Orphan fight with a better phase 2.I also got a bit better at phase 1 I think since the last time I fought this boss which was about 6 years ago.
Valiant Gargoyles RL1 NG+7 Xerieh 2023-12-15 | This fight is like Lud and Zallen in that you know it's bad but it almost feels like an okay fight when it really isn't.I was without internet for about 3 and a half weeks so I have quite a backlog of fights to still upload so I'll upload those over the next week or two.
Margit, the Fell Omen RL1 NG+7 Xerieh 2023-11-21 | I forgot to record this fight last time so here it is now.
Radagon of the Golden Order and Elden Beast RL1 NG+7 Xerieh 2023-11-17 | The secret to dodging the Elden Stars is actually really easy, stand in front of the Elden Beast, wait for it to launch the stars, then run under and past it and you'll be able to outrun the Elden Stars until they disappear.Even after figuring out how to dodge the Elden Stars I still don't like this boss, sometimes the Elden Beast can just do nothing but run away and spam projectiles or AOEs and it gets really obnoxious.Radagon is also pretty obnoxious with his teleports and projectiles which he sometimes likes to spam, luckily this phase of the fight doesn't last very long.
Godfrey/Hoarah Loux RL1 NG+7 Xerieh 2023-11-14 | I like Godfrey but I'm not too sure what to think of the Hoarah Loux phase.Quickstep is perfect for Hoarah Loux since the angle in which you dodge with it is perfect for strafing around him, this is good especially against him when he has the full arena AOEs since it'll let you dodge through them and also put you in perfect position to continue strafing him.Also Raptor of the Mists is very good since it allows you to dodge through the big ground explosion which would normally force you to run away.
Maliketh, the Black Blade RL1 NG+7 Xerieh 2023-11-14 | This boss is decent, no major complaints about this one which is about as good as it gets for praise when it comes to the bosses in Elden Ring.
Godskin Duo RL1 NG+7 Xerieh 2023-11-12 | One of the worst gank bosses I've ever had to experience in any Souls-like game thus far, I'd say this fight is worse than BB&Cannoneer from Code Vein.
Astel, Naturalborn of the Void RL1 NG+7 Xerieh 2023-11-10 | This might be the first fight in a while that I haven't had any major complaints about which is unusual for a boss in Elden Ring.
Mimic Tear RL1 NG+7 Xerieh 2023-11-09 | No Rolling, Jumping, Sprinting, Blocking or Parrying too I guess.@ThanksObamaSaltFreeChips would be proud.
Starscourge Radahn RL1 NG+7 Xerieh 2023-11-08 | This boss is okay I guess.The bosses in Elden Ring in general for me has been which bosses do I have the least amount of complaints about rather than which bosses do I like unfortunately.
Mohg, Lord of Blood RL1 NG+7 Xerieh 2023-11-06 | I would like this fight way more if the fire that gets spread all across the ground didn't exist.It's a shame since I think if he didn't leave fire all over the floor in phase 2 this would probably be the best boss in the game.
Rykard, Lord of Blasphemy RL1 NG+7 Xerieh 2023-11-05 | I starting to notice that I really have nothing to say about most of the bosses in this game.
