A Short Guide to Getting Good at Souls Combat Jordien 2025-10-06 | Hello! Welcome to my guide to Souls games combat. This guide is based on 5000+ hours of experience playing and doing challenge runs in the Souls series over the last 6 years, condensed into one complete video showcasing all of the mechanics of the combat system. This guide covers combat in Dark Souls 1, Dark Souls 2, Dark Souls 3 and Elden Ring. Major spoilers for areas and bosses in those games are included, alongside a couple clips of Sekiro: Shadows Die Twice and Nightreign. I will start with fundamentals for beginners and returning players, then dive into more complex combat mechanics with advanced tips and tricks along the way, and then give my insight as a long term player on how to survive and overcome the world of Souls games.

The Elden Ring DLC Deflect Greathammer Experience is Perfectly Balanced Jordien 2024-09-16 | I'm alive guys (again)! So the Elden Ring DLC - Shadow of the Erdtree introduced a new crystal tear adding Sekiro-like deflects, which can entirely change players approach to the gameplay. Paired with a strong guard counter oriented build like the Blacksteel Greathammer and the right items, this trivializes the entire DLC despite its infamous reputation of difficulty... in a way that's completely Miyazaki approved. Now imagine unleashing it in the base game... :)P-S: This video was done in the 1.13 patch.

Elden Ring Patch 1.12: We can use Torrent vs Elden Beast! Jordien 2024-06-20 | The new Elden Ring patch 1.12 released today to prepare DLC brought a bunch of changes and rebalances, including being able to summon Torrent in the final boss fight, a feature requested by the community for two years now. Let's try it in game and see how our horse does against Elden Beast!No doubt more strategies based on Torrent will be found down the line, but the uses displayed in this quick showcase are already really good. The reign of terror of Elden Stars is goneBackground music used: Monster Hunter World: The Invading Tyrant - Bazelgeuse
This Greataxe Build Decimates Elden Ring | DLC Build Guide Jordien 2024-05-15 | Are you looking for a DLC build? You've come to the right place. This Executioner's Greataxe strength build demolishes enemies and bosses alike in seconds, stacking up physical and poise damage to stance-break bosses in a few attacks before annihilating their health bars with the riposte thanks to the enhanced critical damage modifier of the Greataxe.This build does not require any runes farming, you can reach the estimated level (125-135) just by playing through the main bosses. It also doesn’t utilize consumables, so if you die against a boss, you can try again at full strength without having lost any precious materials for buffs (sleep pots for Godskin duo are the exception).Disclaimer: This build focuses on optimizing items and buffs in synergy with the weapon's strengths in order to demolish everything in the player's path. This broken build effectively turns the game into easy mode for players who don't want to spend too much time building their DLC character or want to get Mohg out of the way quickly to access the DLC and is effectively a Mohg cheese. For a more measured and balanced experience, I recommend not using most of these buffs and just enjoying the weapon as it is. I consider this as one of, if not the best strength build in Elden Ring.00:00 Intro00:23 Starting class + gift00:31 Silver-pickled Foot x200:37 Melina and Torrent, Whetstone Knife00:43 Stonesword Key, Strength Crystal Tear00:50 Green Turtle Talisman00:56 Sacred Blade, Wondrous Physick & Sacred Tear1:08 Spiked Crystal Tear, Trina Lilies & Axe Talisman1:16 Dectus Medallion 1, Gold-pickled Foot1:25 Stonesword Key, Morning Star1:30 Golden Seed, Sacred Tears, Blood Grease x21:40 Flame Grant me Strength, Beast-repellent Torch1:55 Dectus Medallion 2, Golden Rune 12, Radagon's Soreseal2:05 Greyoll (use Gold foot)2:23 Smithing Stones 7-8, Stonesword Key2:35 Cragblade, Fingers Seal2:45 Getting the weapon3:24 Fingers Heirloom, Smithing Bell-bearing 13:35 Ritual Sword Talisman, Smithing Bell-bearing 2, Gold-pickled Foot3:55 Stormhawk Deenh4:12 Storming the Castle (Margit, Godrick)5:07 Glintstone Phalanx, Smithing Upgrades5:29 Going to School (Red Woof, Rennala)6:20 Third Talisman Pouch6:27 Besieging the Capital (Draconic Sentinel, Golden Godfrey)7:10 Dagger Talisman7:30 Rykard runes, Scaled Armor, Stonebarb Tear8:13 Morgott8:47 Smithing Bell-bearing 3, Vagabond Armor, Smithing Upgrades9:05 Ancient Dragon Smithing Stone9:17 Fire Giant9:40 Trina Cookbook, Cracked Pots9:51 Godskin Duo (Sleep Pots)10:35 Smithing Upgrades, Fashion Armor10:50 Crumbling Farum (Placidusax, Maliketh)11:40 Falling the old gods (Gideon, Godfrey, Radagon & Elden Beast)13:25 The Secret Medallions (Commander Niall)14:25 Challenging the Rot Goddess (Loretta, Malenia)15:46 Executing Mohg (Mohg)16:15 OutroBackground music used in the video:Elden Ring OST - Starscourge RadahnMonster Hunter World OST - Zorah MagdarosDark Souls 3 OST - Abyss WatchersElden Ring OST - Margit, the Fell OmenElden Ring OST - Godrick the GraftedElden Ring OST - Red Wolf of RadagonElden Ring OST - Rennala, Queen of the Full MoonElden Ring OST - Erdtree KnightsElden Ring OST - Lord's ApparitionElden Ring OST - God-devouring SerpentElden Ring OST - Regal Ancestor SpiritElden Ring OST - Morgott, the Omen KingElden Ring OST - Fire GiantElden Ring OST - GodskinsElden Ring OST - Beast ClergymanElden Ring OST - Godfrey, First Elden LordElden Ring OST - The Final BattleElden Ring OST - Fallen KnightsMonster Hunter Rise:Sunbreak OST - Proof of a Hero #eldenringgameplay #balance #bossfight #eldenringbosses #fromsoftware #strength #eldenring #eldenringbuilds #eldenringdlc #dlc #mohg #darksouls

Maliketh Mastered: The Pinnacle Fight [Level 1 NG+7, +0 Torch Only, No Talismans, No Damage] Jordien 2023-10-30 | This will be my last challenge kill upload for a while. I might make more when DLC releases, we'll see. Getting this fight took 2-3 days of grinding despite all my previous experience on this boss, and I do consider it as the best fight performed against Maliketh to this day.This upload is an archive. The kill was originally done on February 25th, 2023, on Elden Ring (and Maliketh's) 1 year anniversary. After 100 to 150 hours studying Maliketh for challenge fights and multiple guides for challenge/hitless communities, a final showdown of the culmination of the most optimal and aggressive strategies I've developped for this spectacular bossfight. A solo battle against my favorite boss of the entire FromSoft series, Beast Clergyman / Maliketh the Black Blade, at Level 1, New Game +7 (max game difficulty), using a non upgraded base torch, and without talismans to confer more survivability or damage. The fight lasts 37 minutes (about 13:30 minutes of phase 1 and 24 minutes of phase 2) of no hit gameplay.The mechanical mastery and the knowledge of the boss's behavior required to succeed this challenge are the following:- Perfect knowledge of each of his attacks, follow-ups and mix-ups potential at every point of his combo trees. Often enough the boss will get stuck against a pillar or the edge of the arena mid-combo, and the positioning difference will affect the choice of his next attack, to which you will need to react in the fraction of a second. - Knowing how to avoid a good portion of his attacks without rolling (strafes) to optimize stamina usage and have more time to punish, but also the roll timings for every attack in the rare case scenario where the boss gets stuck against terrain and make an attack impossible to strafe (numerous of those scenarios requiring a reaction/decision making time as short as 0.2-0.3 seconds).- Mastery of spacing and positioning in order to be able to not only trigger desired attacks for better punish opportunities, but also perform optimized and more difficult variations of those strats. Example with his p1 melee combos for which it's optimal to to trigger his final ground stab for a charged attack: sneaking in extra hits during his attacks within the combo for more damage, as well as positioning in order to almost brush against the hitbox of the attack and perform a fully charged attack + a quick attack in the same window of opportunity.- Active use of jumps as dodges allowing bonus hits (e.g above his double swipe in p1) and, in the various case scenarios where the character enter in collision with the boss during the jump, which pushes the character aside and changes timings, knowing how to manually reorient the jump mid-air to avoid falling back into the attack all the while inflicting an attack punish on Gurranq's head.- Perfectly knowing the hurtbox of the boss and managing the lock-on in order to free-aim torch attacks (which otherwise miss a majority of the time because the reach is too short to touch Maliketh's slender model).- Dealing on the fly with intricacies and other bugs of Maliketh's moveset unknown to the majority of the playerbase and runners, such as pseudo-random Destined Deaths from neutral, the glitched double spin, and more.- And countless other details too hard to explain without falling into a deep technical jargon.Music used as background of the video:Metal Gear Rising Revengeance - I'm My Own Master NowPokémon Sword and Shield - Calyrex Final Battle MusicMonster Hunter Rise - Red Glare In The Darkness: NargacugaMonster Hunter Rise - The RampageDark Souls 3 - Slave Knight GaelDark Souls 3 - Demon PrinceMonster Hunter World - Pride Of A Nameless HunterDark Souls 3 - Sister Friede And Father AriandelHollow Knight - Nightmare King GrimmMonster Hunter World - Proof Of A HeroOri and the Blind Forest - Restoring the Light, Facing the Dark(Outro) Ori and the Will of the Wisps - Main ThemeAmazing thumbnail/endcard artwork by my friend twitter.com/Aggronize My other Elden Ring challenges: youtube.com/playlist?list=PL9AUPD_UAv7ev2fuOVx3hCBoooKAwSoVVIf you wish to learn more about Maliketh in detail, here's my Maliketh-specific playlist: youtube.com/playlist?list=PL9AUPD_UAv7dT-yFa44n2TouFp7Ln0yPOHere is also a written guide going in-depth on Maliketh's attacks, behavior and strategies: docs.google.com/document/d/15Ao3Y9GPs_esC2U9B3LqqT0SgmXVb5I8G5c3ALeRx1E/edit
The Elden Ring Stance Breaks Experience is Perfectly Balanced Jordien 2023-09-30 | I'm alive guys, I've simply been very busy with life lately (in a good way!). Now that I'm free again, what's better to celebrate than some good old unga bunga? The stance-breaking (or posture, poise, stagger etc) system is one of Elden Ring's strongest mechanics, but it's often underused or associated exclusively with heavier weapons like colossals... but smaller weapons can be just as efficient to get those juicy staggers, and some like the club are even better at landing stance-breaks left and right! So let's put this mighty weapon to the test.Build: Strength/endurance (exact stats spread shown after each major fight)Weapon: Heavy Club + CragbladeSupport gear: Battle Axe [Golden Vow] Talismans: Radagon's Soreseal, Ritual Sword Talisman, Green turtle talisman, Axe talisman, Viridian Amber Medallion +2 (once reaching Haligtree)Bonus items: Strength-knot tear (+10 strength), Spiked crystal tear (increased charged attacks damage), Hero/Ronin armor set (don't ask me where I got the second one).Note: This video has been on hold for a while, as such the footage was recorded on Elden Ring patch 1.09 and doesn't benefit from the poise breaks and critical hits buffs from patch 1.10. So if you're trying this build yourself, this means you'll do even more damage on critical attacks (backstabs/ripostes) than I did in this run!

The Elden Ring 1.09 Claws Experience is perfectly balanced Jordien 2023-03-26 | I've been feeling sick the last week, as a result this video is more of a shitpost style than my usual. The recent patch 1.09 buffed the power of Claws weapons despite them doing insane damage already, so I took the Bloodhound Claws for a run through the game with a Keen affinity and Bloodflame Blade applied onto it (and the Cragblade Ash of War for bleed resistant bosses). The outcome was as balanced as expected with every boss melting in seconds and fights being effortlessly no damage, and most being first try (excepted... that one woops).Are these claws balanced in their current state? No. Are they overpowered and should be nerfed? Probably, but they're fun to play so whatever :) Part 2 against optional bosses like Mohg and Malenia incoming eventually, maybe. Soon :tm:.Build: Dexterity/endurance (exact stats spread shown after each major fight)Weapon: Keen Bloodhound's Claws + Bloodflame bladeSupport gear: Dagger [Golden Vow], Finger Seal [Flame, Grant Me Strength]Talismans: Radagon's Soreseal, Ritual Sword Talisman, Green turtle talisman, Axe talismanBonus items: Dexterity-knot tear (+10 dexterity), Greenspill crystal tear (increased maximum endurance), Scaled armor set (don't ask me where I got it).You can find me on Amazing Chest's discord server : discord.gg/amazingchestor on the Champion's Respite RL1 challenge running server : discord.gg/vESQQvm00:00 Intro0:20 Preparing the build1:19 Stormveil Castle2:59 Getting ready for the Festival4:43 Crashing Leyndell Capital7:05 Making Godfrey proud9:15 Farum of the Last Airbender11:55 The final showdown16:50 Outro#eldenring #balance #bossfight #eldenringgameplay #fromsoftware
This Weapon DESTROYS Bosses at RL1 - Elden Ring No Damage Bossfights Jordien 2023-03-11 | A compilation of Main Bossfights / Remembrances Bosses beaten at RL1 (Rune Level 1) using the Iron Balls, the new meta weapon for RL1 runs massively buffed in patch 1.08 - are they OP now ? Yes, it's safe to claim that.

Level 1 +0 Weapons All Main/Remembrance Bosses [No Damage] Jordien 2023-02-28 | A compilation of all Elden Ring Remembrances/Required progression bosses done solo at Rune Level 1 (RL1) with +0 weapons (no upgrades). This is a proof of concept of the challenge run I've done last month as well as a showcase of bosses with the purpose of helping other runners and players to learn the bosses via observing endurance fights. Enjoy :)Full Challenge Run Rules : - Level 1, +0 weapons (no upgrades)- Solo, no summons- No status effects (bleed/frost/poison/rot etc) or blackflame sources- No Ashes of War/affinities (or infusions)- No major glitches or boss cheeses, AI breaks etc- No Great Runes, weapon buffs (greases or Ashes of War), or buffs besides the Wondrous Physics- Melee only, No magic (exception on Fortissax to prove a point about how anti-melee this fight is). Throwing knives were allowed as a backup resource to maintain bosses posture in situations where their attack patterns align to provide them with a free poise reset. - No taking damage/hits to bosses (exception Godskin Noble belly bump, due to being nigh impossible to react to in the context of an endurance parries-focused fight)In this context, "All Remembrances/Required bosses" refer to all bosses giving a Remembrance and/or being required to reach a Remembrance boss (like Margit, Godskin Duo or Gideon Ofnir). No exceptions. The Leyndell sewers route with the fake Mohg bossfight was used in order to reach Deeproot depths and fight Lichdragon Fortissax.

Elden Ring - Maliketh Mastered : Aggressive fight showcase with style points [No Damage] Jordien 2022-10-29 | A hundred or more hours spent studying a boss, embodied into one spectacular fight. A solo endurance fight against my favorite boss of the FromSoft series, Beast Clergyman / Maliketh the Black Blade on level 1 (RL1) NG+7 (max new game cycle) without upgrading weapons, no status effects (bleed, frost, poison/rot etc), no ashes of war/skills or Blasphemous claw parries (since they deal a % of max health in damage on parry, counter-intuitive to an endurance low damage fight). This is meant to be a "pure" fight condition to showcase as best as possible the most aggressive and latest strategies I've developed since the game release, including the new p2 follow up baits and incorporating throwing knives in the middle of his combo mixups to damage his posture and keep him from doing arbitrary poise resets via the projectile attacks, which is one of the main annoyances in prolonged phase 2 fights where ripostes damage are of important value. The fight being on 125% speed, on top of being a test of reflexes, also help prove these strats are safe and reliable, since they can be successfully pulled off even with much less time to react as long as the correct timing / positioning is respected. For the sake of making the fight more intense, dynamic and reaction intensive, I used a speedhack contained within Cheat engine to set the game speed to 125%, or x1.25 speed. This affects the game engine itself, causing both the player and the boss to gain speed as well as accordingly increased stamina regeneration. As a result this also sped up the skybox cycle, the trees/grass moving, etc. It does not however speed up the audio files such as Maliketh's opening and death dialogue or his boss theme, which serve as proof of the entire game being in 125% speed and not simply the footage. This can be distinctly heard at the end of the kill where I turn the volume to max for it.Build : Rune Level 1Lordsworn's straight sword +0 x2Miséricorde +0 Talismans : Radagon's soreseal, Red feathered branchsword, Green turtle talisman, Millicent's prosthesisBonus items : Godrick's Great Rune, throwing knives, and fashion armor (Fingerprint set and Knight helm)Background music : Hollow Knight - Troupe Master Grimm / Nightmare King Grimm themes, by Christopher Larkin The Grimm audio dub for the intro was taken from here : youtu.be/cw48nntk1AI Champion's Respite server for Level 1 runs, boss resources and guides : discord.gg/vESQQvmMy other Elden Ring Rune Level 1 kills so far : youtube.com/playlist?list=PL9AUPD_UAv7ev2fuOVx3hCBoooKAwSoVVIf you wish to learn more about Maliketh in detail, here's my Maliketh-specific playlist : youtube.com/playlist?list=PL9AUPD_UAv7dT-yFa44n2TouFp7Ln0yPOHere is also a written guide going in-depth on Maliketh's attacks, behavior and strategies : docs.google.com/document/d/15Ao3Y9GPs_esC2U9B3LqqT0SgmXVb5I8G5c3ALeRx1E/editA fully detailed video guide will follow, hopefully over the next weeks/months. #EldenRing #Maliketh #fromsoftware #bossfight #cinematic
Elden Ring 1.07 - Buffed Cragblade Great Hammer vs Optional Bosses [No Damage] Jordien 2022-10-21 | This is part 2 of the Cragbade + Great Mace compilation ! This time taking on optional bosses like Mohg, Placidusax and Malenia, as well as early game bosses I missed in the first video ; Radahn, Astel, Regal Ancestor, Fortissax etc. I chose to nerf my character by using a +The12 weapon on these bosses to match what players would have naturally at this point in the game, but the combo is so strong that they melted in a minute anyways. Even Malenia and her stagger immunity cheats did not escape the bonk.I considered adding a stagger counter on the top right corner for fun, but ultimately scrapped it because it was distracting from the beauty of some fights. Regardless, continuing the trend of staggering bosses at least once, most 2-3 times per fight. Even Radahn and his massive 200 poise did not wisthand the sheer poise damage despite how short the fight was. Build : Cold/Heavy Great Mace + Cragblade ash of warTalismans (equipped as slots get unlocked) : Radagon's soreseal, Axe talisman, Ritual sword talisman, Starscourge Heirloom, Old Lord's talisman for endgame fightsArmor : Vagabond starting armor, Knight helm replacement for better fashion at some point Wondrous physics flask : Greenburst (max stamina) and Spiked (enhanced charged attacks damage) tears, both found under the Minor Erdtree in Mistwoods.

Elden Ring 1.07 - Buffed Cragblade Great Hammer vs Any% Main Bosses [No Damage] Jordien 2022-10-19 | Decided to turn an unexpected day off into a casual run of the game with the newly buffed Cragblade Ash of war on the Great Mace, a combo I've showcased the strength of on poor Maliketh in my latest video. Since both the Ash of war and Great hammer are available in the open world (Caelid and Bellum Highway respectively) without fightning any bosses, I've decided to take that combo on a fresh new character and see how well it does against the Any% bosses... results were as impressive as expected. Enjoy ! This run took about 3-4 hours, including picking up smithing stones in mines and without really trying to speedrun. The weapon combo is that powerful... had you ever seen Fire Giant staggered 4 times in a 2 minutes fight before ? I certainly did not :) Build : Heavy Great Mace + Cragblade ash of warTalismans (equipped as slots get unlocked) : Radagon's soreseal, Axe talisman, Ritual sword talisman, Starscourge Heirloom, Old Lord's talisman for endgame fightsArmor : Vagabond starting armor, Knight helm replacement for better fashion at some point Wondrous physics flask : Greenburst (max stamina) and Spiked (enhanced charged attacks damage) tears, both found under the Minor Erdtree in Mistwoods.

Elden Ring 1.07 - Maliketh needs a buff : Permanent stagger cheese with new poise changes Jordien 2022-10-16 | It's intervention time. This is one of many weapons that can pseudo-loop to completely stunlock Maliketh with the buff to weapons poise damage and Cragblade from the latest Elden Ring patch, version 1.07. This existing is not in any way, shape or form okay. Maliketh was already a glass cannon and suffered heavily from his low poise and health pool equal to Morgott's, a mid-game boss, and his damage and mobility do not compensate for it enough. With this latest patch, he suffers from it more than ever and what is otherwise a spectacular and mechanically amazing fight can be made into a complete joke with little to no effort. Please give the goodest boi some love, Fromsoft. This is getting ridiculous. This was not even using physics flask to boost damage and being lvl 1. A leveled character can likely shred Maliketh to pieces within 30 seconds without much effort, now.

Elden Ring 1.07 - Maliketh vs Cragblade Colossal sword [Level 1, +0 weapon, No Damage] Jordien 2022-10-15 | Showcasing the new changes to colossal swords introduced by patch 1.07 using the newfly buffed Cragblade ash of war on the Greatsword against Maliketh, the Black Blade, at Level 1 with no weapon no upgrades for a better showcase. The new bonus poise damage from two-handing weapons and cragblade duration being extended lets the player deliver tons of poise damage in short spans of time, on top of the faster speed of chained R1s helping sneak in extra attacks before riposting the boss, etc. Colossal swords were already decent on Maliketh, now they became even better.

Elden Ring - Radagon of the Golden Order Level 1 NG+7 +0 weapons No Aux/wep. buffs [No Damage] Jordien 2022-10-02 | This was hard. So is the learning curve. Doing a regular RL1 no upgrades fight was done in a couple hours, getting this one took 3 days. While Radagon is far less mechanically complex than other ER bosses like Maliketh, his moveset requires very high precision to deal with especially in phase 2 and 3 with the introduction of teleports and their damaging AoEs. The concept of arbitrarily taking away punishes from the player and responding with an instant damaging reposition isn't something I'm too fond of, neither do I enjoy when he's in p3 and zips around more intensely than a tryhard speedrunner while spamming spells and getting free poise resets... but despite these obnoxious mechanics Radagon is still an amazing and generally fair fight, and the OST certainly adds to the epicness of it all.A solo, melee only fight at Rune Level 1 (RL1) in NG+7 (max new game cycle) of Radagon of the Golden Order, done without upgrading weapons, without auxiliary/status effects (frost, bleed, poison/rot etc), no buffs outside of the Great rune to wield Alabaster sword, and with no hits taken. Phase 1 is very fun and good for multiple cr2 punishes since his attacks startups after recovery are slow enough to allow them, even his stomp somewhat. Phase 2 and 3 are where it gets annoying with the threat of cancelling a recovery with a retaliation teleport and especially the quick teleport memes. You are forced to fight much more passive during later phases, and his tendency to teleport around at all ranges to spam spells and get free poise resets, again, don't help ramping up the pace in any way. I had some faster attempts where I was more aggressive but choked on 15-10% health left to teleports or flying aoes timing modified by walls, so I played carefully the end of this fight to make sure it wouldn't happen this time around.

The first speedkill was done at Level 1 (RL1) on Base New Game for a 57 seconds time ; the second was on Level 1 NG+7 (Hardest Game cycle) for a total of 1:17 minute.

Also done without taking hits. This is a revisited kill with the intent to showcase more aggressive gameplay with a greatsword for comfort instead of the clunky commander's standard. I also wanted to get a few waterfowl dodges in there as they're cool to see, regardless of the move itself being questionable design at least it's consistent. Good rematch I would say.

[Worlds First] Maliketh, the Black Blade Fists only - Elden Ring Jordien 2022-08-27 | A challenge kill of beating Beast Clergyman / Maliketh, the Black Blade using fists only, aka no weapons, also using no magic, incantations, auxiliary effects or consumable buffs like aromatics, turtle necks etc. Godrick's great rune was equipped although doesn't really change much at this level, I just kind of had it there and didn't care to optimize runes. This used to be a popular and decent challenge in previous Souls games, but much harder in Elden Ring to the abysmally low damage and almost non-existent scaling of fists. Hence it's considered by many as the ultimate challenge on ER and the reason why barely any fists only kill has been done so far excluding a couple early game bosses. This was a fun and slightly messy kill with a bunch of flasks lost to jump direction memes in p1 and glitched spins in p2, but overall satisfying.

Elden Ring - Maliketh Level 1 NG+7 No upgrades/Buffs : Testing Mantis Blade Jordien 2022-08-15 | A quick Level 1 NG+7 +0 weapon kill of Maliketh, the best boi to test the effectiveness of Mantis Blade without the base NG cheese potential of its super fast charged R2 building stagger damage very quickly. Done with no buffs and without taking hits. This weapon is fun and the double cr2 wakeup after riposte insanely strong, however it's not safe to do in phase 2 as it leaves players vulnerable to getting knocked down by a roar and ruining a no hit attempt. Stupidly overpowered on base NG, more balanced but still strong on max NG.Build : Rune Level 1 Mantis Blade +0 Radagon's Soreseal, Red feathered talisman, Blue dancer charm, Green turtle talismanBonus items : None Champion's Respite server for Level 1 runs, boss resources and guides : discord.gg/vESQQvmMy other Elden Ring Rune Level 1 kills so far : youtube.com/playlist?list=PL9AUPD_UAv7ev2fuOVx3hCBoooKAwSoVV#EldenRing #maliketh #bossfight #fromsoftware

Elden Ring - Maliketh but its 200% speed [Level 1 NG+7, No Damage] Jordien 2022-07-20 | Well, I stand corrected. Looks like it was possible after all :)Another redo of the previous meme kills, only a day after the latest one. Having done previously a Maliketh kill on 150% and 175% speed using Cheat Engine, this is now 200% ingame speed with the double speed limit breached. As usual, still on RL1 NG+7 and no hits taken. Phase 1 was a nightmare at this speed, and the projectiles attacks in phase 2 very difficult to deal with too. This specific attempt ended up not giving me any opportunities to use Blasphemous Claw parries to deal massive damage to p2, making it longer with much more attacks to dodge and react to, so I'm very glad this ended up being the victorious attempt !

Elden Ring - Maliketh but 175% speed [Level 1 NG+7, No Damage] Jordien 2022-07-19 | Yes, it's a redo of last month's meme kill of 150% speed Maliketh using Cheat Engine, but 175% ingame speed this time just to see how much we can push the insanity. Still on RL1 NG+7 and no hits, of course. I actually got the kill once earlier, but had issues with the recording which led me to do it again... so technically I've done that twice. Help. This was much harder than 150%, with some attacks like the Disengage slash becoming unreactable due to the roll-on-release nature of ER dodging... you physically don't have time to press and release the roll in time because of the attack being next to instant. Is 200% possible ? Honestly maybe, but that would be guaranteed to be an experience.

Metal Gear Rising : Revengeance - All Bosses Revengeance Mode S Rank [No Damage] Jordien 2022-07-18 | A compilation of all bosses from MGRR done in Revengeance difficulty, S ranks and not taking damage. A fun challenge I've decided to do after discovering the game a couple weeks ago, with about 30-50 hours on the clock. Nothing too crazy but it was entertaining to do and the musics are awesome. I tried my best to not rely on oneshot parries exclusive to Revengeance mode and fight bosses properly, with the exception of Mistral (and her clone double) since I disliked her bossfight. Other than that, good old slicing and cutting exclusively. Enjoy !Metal Gear Rising Revengeance is a fantastic game I would 100% recommend to get for normal playthroughs, however for challenge runs the game is quite janky and old (especially the terribly outdated camera and parry system) and doesn't work too well on PC between the Konami code only working with controllers and most recording softwares like Nvidia shadowplay needing some scuffed manipulations of the graphic settings in order to function. Still, the bossfights are worth the detour and the gameplay is satisfying overall.

Elden Ring - Maliketh with a +0 colossal sword (No Damage) Jordien 2022-06-28 | A solo, melee only kill of Beast Clergyman / Maliketh, the Black Blade using an unupgraded colossal weapon to test out openings, something I wanted to do before and requested by a viewer comment. Also done without hits. The character was level 16 for this with Godrick's great rune, base level with points spent only in endurance to simulate what a leveled character built for colossal weapons would be using. This kill was improvised on the spot so apologies for the neighbors drilling and hello to my friend @BigDBrian who was hanging out in vc with me while I was doing this. The general strategy I believe is safe for a colossal fight : Wait for combos enders in phase 1 (specifically the rocks slings), safely run into all of Beast Clergyman's attacks when re-engaging him as well as most mid-range incantations. Charged R2s are possible on the Ground drag sweep and after each riposte, before he stands up again. For phase 2, always roll into his combos which will lend you plenty of time for multiple R1s or a charged R2, keep running into him for most combos and learn the projectiles dodge timings and you will be golden for this fight. In base NG the sheer poise damage you can dish out will bully him with staggers, which will be harder as you reach higher NG cycles of course but still a great advantage given his low poise values. List of safe punishes with colossal swords per attacks in each phase :Phase 1, Beast Clergyman :When re-engaging Beast Clergyman, a running R1 is always safe, followed by a roll if need to.For most of his melee combos, it's advised to wait for the final hit (usually a rocks sling throw) which can be punished by a rolling r1. You can also roll away and bait a mid-range projectile instead.Mid-range projectile throws (rock slings, stone of Gurranq) : Run into him and running R1, if you're too far to run under the rock slings simply roll it and do a rolling r1. This doesn't apply to the disengage versions where Beast Clergyman throws rocks slings while running away, you can't punish those. Standing slam into beast claws : Roll/walk to the left, and either [rolling r1, roll claws, rolling r1] or simply wait to jump over the claw for a jumping R2.Ground drag sweep : Go behind him and charged R2.Ground rupture with rocks : R1 or R2, then run away to clear the rocks and re-engageWhenever he staggers : R1 him before riposting if you have time, then after riposting immediately perform a fully charged R2 to have a good headstart on the next stagger meter. Phase 2, Maliketh the Black Blade :DO NOT roll away from Maliketh's melee combos under any circumstance in that phase. Most of his melee combos let you get a charged R2 inbetween the attacks, but doing 2x R1s is just as good and you don't have to commit as much, allowing you to cancel the 2nd one if you misjudged timings. Opener combo : Charged R2 then R1, if he does the Destined Death combo run away and clear it. Running swipe combo : Run into the swipe to strafe it, then 2x R1 or CR2. Double spin attack : Roll to his side (two rolls is recommended for safety) then do a rolling R1 or R2. If you were close enough to manage dodging it with only one roll, you can do a charged R2 but the timing is tight. Turn-around quick slam combo : Charged R2, roll the follow-up delayed swipe, rolling r1. Jump explosion : Run away from him to bait the Aerial spin attack, then run back in to make him land past you and charged R2. Projectiles into ground crash/jump on pillar into ground crash : Roll under him, then roll again to dodge the follow-up AoE explosion and do a rolling r1. It's also possible to do a jumping R2 if you feel like his stance is about to break, but it's slightly risky.Build : Rune Level 16, all points into endurance for staminaWeapon : Zweihander +0, no Ashes of War/affinitiesTalismans : Red feathered branchsword, Strarscourge Heirloom, Green Turtle talisman, Viridian amber medaillon +2 Bonus items : Godrick's Great RuneChampion's Respite server for Level 1 runs, boss resources and guides : discord.gg/vESQQvmMy other Elden Ring Rune Level 1 kills so far : youtube.com/playlist?list=PL9AUPD_UAv7ev2fuOVx3hCBoooKAwSoVVIf you wish to learn more about Maliketh in detail, here's my Maliketh-specific playlist : youtube.com/playlist?list=PL9AUPD_UAv7dT-yFa44n2TouFp7Ln0yPOHere is also a written guide going in-depth on Maliketh's attacks, behavior and strategies : docs.google.com/document/d/15Ao3Y9GPs_esC2U9B3LqqT0SgmXVb5I8G5c3ALeRx1E/edit#EldenRing #Maliketh
Elden Ring - Maliketh, the Black Blade RL1 NG+7 +0 weapon No Aux/Buffs/Talismans/Claw [No Damage] Jordien 2022-06-17 | "Maliketh, Queen Marika's loyal half-brother, bore a blade imbued with Destined Death, and there was not one demigod who did not fear him. Champions knew what was at stake. Indeed, that is what made them champions." - Maliketh's Armor set A solo, melee only Rune Level 1 (RL1) fight against Beast Clergyman / Maliketh, the Black Blade on NG+7 (maximum New Game cycle) with no upgrades, no auxiliary effects (bleed, frost, poison, scarlet rot etc), no buffs (Great runes, weapon/body or physics flask buffs), no AoWs, no talismans and no hits taken. This time done without the Blasphemous Claw parries in phase 2.This is it. My best Maliketh fight, and one if not the hardest showcase of mastery done on him yet. I decided to redo my previous one without Blasphemous Claw parries which shortened phase 2 too much to my taste due to the flat damage inflicted by the parries themselves. However thanks to the making and use of new and more aggressive strats (thanks to Brian, Parallax and Clelia for helping with coming up/refining these strats) in both phase 1 and 2, that kill ended up being barely longer than the original one with a 16:30 mins length whereas the estimation tended to be around 20-25 minutes with these restrictions before - a significant improvement, and an amazing fight.

Elden Ring - Level 1 NG+7 Maliketh but 150% game speed [No Damage] Jordien 2022-06-04 | A funny meme kill of Maliketh where I set the ingame speed to 150% using Cheat Engine. Both my character and the boss ended up being very fast as a result, although some elements like music and Maliketh's voice lines were still on normal speed. Also on RL1 NG+7 and no hits, because why not. This was stressfully hard to do, some of his attacks in p1 (namely the beast slings and backhop swipe) were nigh instant with the speed modifier and ended most of the attempts. Very fun to do, however ! Will I do it again ? Probably not as I still value my sanity, even if slightly.

Elden Ring - Level 1 NG+7 All Remembrances/Required Bosses No Aux/Overbuffs [No Damage] Jordien 2022-06-02 | A compilation of all Elden Ring Remembrances/required progression bosses done solo at Rune Level 1 (RL1) in NG+7 (Max New Game cycle) and without taking hits. This is somewhat of a followup to my speedkills compilation, but this time I wanted clean fights without abusing status effects like bleed/frost and buffs stacking. Beside the Great Rune, I used the Wondrous physics flask as my only boost with the exception of weapon buffs like greases or Ashes of war buffs every now and then. In this context, "All Remembrances/Required bosses" refer to all bosses giving a Remembrance and/or being required to reach a Remembrance boss (like Margit, Godskin Duo or Gideon Ofnir). No exceptions. After figuring out how much of a garbage gank fight Valiant Gargoyles were with no synergy whatsoever, I went instead with the Leyndell sewers route and fought fake Mohg in order to reach Deeproot depths and fight Lichdragon Fortissax.

Elden Ring - Level 1 NG+7 Dragonlord Placidusax +0 weapon No Aux/Buffs [No Damage] Jordien 2022-05-26 | Second best dragon fights in the series for me, right behind Midir. Good bois both of them.A solo, melee only speedkill at Rune Level 1 (RL1) in NG+7 (Max New Game cycle) of DragonLord Placidusax, slumbering master of Farum Azula, without weapon upgrades, status effects like bleed, frost, scarlet rot, etc. Also done without weapon buffs or Ashes of War and with no hits taken. This is a satisfying kill compared to the base NG version I did a couple months ago, charged R2s of the cleanrot knight sword doing a ton of damage compared to its stamina consumption. The base NG +0 kill was 12 minutes, and I was estimating this one to be 16-17 minutes but got particularly unlucky with phase 3 RNG where Dragonlord decided to stall with thundercloud dives and lasers a lot. Phase 1 went smoothly with the semi-scripted opener loop to get 11 charged R2s on him and a stagger right off the start, by baiting specific attacks with positioning (go down to his tail during lightning call, tail swipe and to his front for scripted lightning swipe followup into fire breath). Phase 2 was also cleaner compared to my base NG kill where I was playing defensive against the teleports due to the hard to react quick slam AoE, this time being more aggressive and punishing every teleport attack. Phase 3 is where it slowed down with the previously mentioned dives spam. In hindsight I should've done the baiting strat to walls on lasers to get much more damage in, but the tradeoff was harder to dodge thundercloud dives (and not being able to punish them) with potential memes of Dragonlord getting stuck on the walls during the sliding part after dive, which costed me a few lost attempts under 10% health left. So I decided to play the phase 3 safer, and besides enjoying the lightshow more. This boss is incredibely cinematic, for sure.Build : Rune Level 1 Godrick's Great RuneCleanrot Knight's sword +0Radagon's Soreseal, Red feathered talisman, Axe talisman, Blue dancer charm Bonus items : NoneChampion's Respite server for Level 1 runs, boss resources and guides : discord.gg/vESQQvmMy other Elden Ring Rune Level 1 kills so far : youtube.com/playlist?list=PL9AUPD_UAv7ev2fuOVx3hCBoooKAwSoVV00:00 Intro 00:05 Phase 104:21 Phase 210:19 Phase 3 17:48 Outro and stats/runes drop#EldenRing #Bossfight #Level1

Well it is, but is it totally ?A solo, melee only kill at Rune Level 1 (RL1) on NG+7 (Max New Game Cycle) of Malenia, Blade of Miquella / Goddess of Rot, without status effects, parrying, Bloodhound's step and not taking hits. A satisfying fight, huge thanks to my friend @BigDBrian for explaining to me how the point blank circling dodge of her Waterfowl Dance worked. Glad to get a kill with one of these in p1, although she didn't do any flurry in phase 2 which is a shame given I often had 2-3 flurries attempts lost to random p2 stuff before.

Elden Ring - Level 1 NG+7 All Main Bosses speedkills compilation [No Damage] Jordien 2022-05-03 | "When kings rise against have it writ on their grave, the old gods were felled by a mortal unnamed" - Aviators , We Rise A compilation of speedkills of all main Elden Ring bosses done at Rune Level 1 (RL1) in NG+7 (Max New Game cycle) and without taking hits. The goal is to down every boss as fast as possible solo, without glitches/extreme cheese/AI breaks etc and melee only (with the strict exception of freezing pots on Malenia to interrupt her Scarlet Aeonia incantation). Loading times during cutscenes aren't counted since they are hardware dependent and would not be fair to everyone as a friend of mine pointed out. In this context, "All main bosses" refer to all bosses giving a Remembrance, achievements and/or being required to progress into the main storyline (like Gideon Ofnir). The only exception being repeat bosses that are weaker version of later bosses since they are thereby pointless to include (for example Godskin Noble and Ancestor Spirit are excluded since I already fight Godskin Duo and Regal Ancestor Spirit later on in the video).
