(NG+7, Hard Mode)Elden Ring - Demi-Human Swordmaster Onze, the True Sword SaintKosm642024-08-10 | Whatever FROM were smoking when they designed this guy, I want some. A No Damage isn't possible since his sword deals magic damage. But, I consider perfect deflects to be a No-Hit, even with chip damage.
(NG+6)Elden Ring - Bayle the Dread - No DamageKosm642024-08-08 | I still think Midir is the better dragon fight, but Bayle comes pretty close.
(NG+6)Elden Ring - Bullying Midra - Ghizas Wheel + Parries, No DamageKosm642024-07-22 | Turning the Lord of Frenzied Flame into pulp. Midra is probably the best DLC boss aside from Messmer. He doesn't have any unfair moves, and is a great parry dummy. I admire the designers' restraint in not making a madness boss absolutely terrible to fight.
(NG+6)Elden Ring - Giving Messmer the Full 18 Inches - No DamageKosm642024-07-18 | Treating Messmer the Impaler to 18" of Carian Piercer. The Carian Sorcery Sword and Main Gauche make an interesting combo. Well-suited for weaving parries in between spells and regular attacks.
(NG+6)Elden Ring - Malenia, as she was meant to be fought - Deflecting Hardtear, No DamageKosm642024-07-10 | Fighting her like the cut Sekiro boss she is. This is harder than it looks, since Malenia can ignore stance breaks, and has instant hyper armour on some of her attacks. Her kick is one such attack. But if deflected, it's the safest attack to get in a guard counter. It does consume most of the stamina bar, so be careful and manage stamina properly. And at long last, Waterfowl is no longer an issue.
I don't normally like using aux effects like bleed/frost, but this is a special case. Since she heals even on blocked/deflected hits, the trick is outdamaging her healing.
(NG+6)Hitman - Marrakesh: A House Built on Sand - Silent Sniper AssassinKosm642024-06-09 | First of several Hitman videos I have planned. This will work with any suppressed sniper that has body piercing. Easiest one to get I think is the Jaeger 7 Tuatara (Mastery lvl 20 on Haven Island). Having to retrieve the documents ruins the flow of this strategy - there's no way to steal the documents and still get Mendola and Tuo Kwang to meet on the rooftop. Still, it's a cool kill.Elden Ring - The Cooler Godskin DuoKosm642024-06-03 | I like how the superior Godskin Duo is tucked away as a Spiritcaller Snail fight in a random cave.
This challenge was out to get me. I had 4 successful attempts across about 20 hours. The first 3 had the footage get corrupted or not record. Geforce experience really didn't like me. Then, most unsuccessful attempts were lost to the Apostle's stupid double slash.
(NG+5)Elden Ring - Crucible Knight - RL1, No DamageKosm642024-03-23 | There are some bosses in Elden Ring that heavily incentivize parries. Crucible Knights are great examples of this. I'll be doing some more RL1 fights, if my computer co-operates.Dark Souls II - Fume Knight - No DamageKosm642023-12-24 | Definitely one of the better fights in DS2 - of which there are 2. This guy, and Sir Alonne.
(NG+)Dark Souls II - Sir Alonne - No Damage (Special Death Animation)Kosm642023-12-22 | This was at least 10 times easier than the actual run up to Sir Alonne. I spent an hour clearing out all those knights...
(NG+)Elden Ring - Godrick the Grafted - Executioners Greataxe, No DamageKosm642023-08-13 | Inspired by a post on /r/eldenring a few months ago, many of Godrick's attacks can be avoided by jumping. I'm using a +0 Executioner's Greataxe, and even still, the critical hit damage is insane.
(NG+4)Metal Gear Solid V - Episode 11: Cloaked in Silence - S Rank, All Tasks, Perfect StealthKosm642023-07-10 | I originally did this mission by sniping her and finishing her off with the supply drop technique. The strategy shown here is much more fun, although a lot trickier.
Timestamps: 0:00 - Intro 0:11 - Eliminated Quiet, Neutralized Quiet without hitting her with lethal weapons, Neutralized Quiet with non-firearm attacks 1:31 - Determined what to do with Quiet 2:27 - ExtractionMetal Gear Solid V - Episode 10: Angel with Broken Wings - S Rank, All Tasks, Perfect StealthKosm642023-07-02 | This mission was pretty tough to route and figure out, but damn satisfying to pull off. Surprisingly consistent, too, with guard starting positions. I don't normally like to do night infiltrations - I prefer the challenge with day infiltrations - but Yakho Oboo Supply Outpost is a huge sightline with little cover, making day infiltration extremely difficult.
Timestamps: 0:00 - Intro 1:00 - Extracted 3 prisoners being held at Lamar Khaate Palace 3:10 - Extracted the escort vehicle (armored vehicle) 7:22 - Extracted 2 prisoners being held at Yakho Oboo Supply Outpost 9:39 - Listened to the last conversation between the transport truck driver and Malak 11:36 - Extracted the Mujahideen prisoner called Malak 13:17 - ExtractionMetal Gear Solid V - Episode 8: Occupation Forces - S Rank, All Tasks, Perfect StealthKosm642023-07-01 | This is a fairly straightforward mission. Very Indiana Jones-like, running alongside the tanks on horseback.
I won't be doing Episode 9 - Episode 10 is next. Episode 9 is 30 minutes of chasing around tanks, and isn't terribly interesting.
Timestamps: 0:00 - Intro 0:58 - Extracted the prisoner being held at Sakhra Ee Village 1:56 - Secured the deployment plans 2:16 - Extracted the colonel/Eliminated the colonel 3:52 - Extracted all tanks/Eliminated all tanks/Eliminated the colonel and all tanks before they reached Smasei Fort 4:02 - ExtractionMetal Gear Solid V - Episode 7: Red Brass - S Rank, All Tasks, Perfect StealthKosm642023-06-26 | The first of several "conversation missions" in MGSV. Thankfully, this one isn't as egregious as some later missions like On the Trail or The War Economy. In those ones you can just scrape by with an S rank.
Timestamps: 0:00 - Intro 0:59 - Extracted 2 prisoners being held in Da Ghwandai Khar 2:03 - Listened to the end of the 3 commanders' conversation 8:24 - Extracted the 3 commanders and the soldiers riding in their vehicles (4 total) 9:38 - ExtractionMetal Gear Solid V - Episode 6: Where do the Bees Sleep? - S Rank, All Tasks, Perfect StealthKosm642023-06-23 | My favourite mission in the game. Took a lot of work to memorize, especially since guard starting points appear to be slightly randomized.
Timestamps: 0:00 - Intro 1:00 - Extracted 2 snipers at the Mountain Relay Base 4:11 - Extracted the prisoner who cannot speak 5:10 - Eliminated the gunship 6:47 - Secured the Honey Bee 9:25 - Eliminated the Skulls 10:17 - Secured the Honey Bee with its ammunition intact 11:23 - ExtractionMetal Gear Solid V - Episode 5: Over the Fence - S Rank, All Tasks, Perfect StealthKosm642023-06-20 | A surprisingly tough mission to carry out consistently due to the design of the base. Wakh Sind Barracks is one giant sightline.
Timestamps: 0:00 - Intro 0:55 - Extracted the four-wheel drive patrolling between outposts 1:49 - Extracted the prisoner plotting to escape from Wakh Sind Barracks 2:54 - Secured the blueprint at Wakh Sind Barracks 3:31 - Extracted the captive engineer through the hole in the facility's basement ceiling (counts as 2 tasks) 4:18 - ExtractionMetal Gear Solid V - Episode 4: C2W - S Rank, All Tasks, Perfect StealthKosm642023-06-15 | This is probably the easiest mission in the game. Shooting the comms equipment as I did clears three tasks at once. You can probably do it with the water pistol too but the shotgun is faster.
Timestamps: 0:00 - Intro 0:50 - Extracted 2 prisoners being held at Wialo Village 2:09 - Secured the rough diamonds hidden near the Eastern Communications Post 4:41 - Identified the comms equipment at the Eastern Communications Post, Destroyed the comms equipment at the Eastern Communications Post, Destroyed the transmitter at the Eastern Communications Post 5:11 - Extracted the materials container from the Eastern Communications PostMetal Gear Solid V - Episode 3: A Heros Way - S Rank, All Tasks, Perfect StealthKosm642023-06-13 | Part of my goal with redoing the Metal Gear Solid V videos is to improve mission times. Here's one of the better examples.
Timestamps: 0:00 - Picked a haoma in the desert between Shago Village and Spugmay Keep 0:28 - Neutralized the Spetsnaz commander from long distance (100m or more) 1:54 - Secured the processed materials hidden in Shago Village 3:13 - Extracted the Spetsnaz Commander (Eliminated the Spetsnaz Commander)Metal Gear Solid V - Episode 1: Phantom Limbs - S Rank, All Tasks, Perfect StealthKosm642023-06-09 | I got back into MGSV recently and wanted to re-do this series. It's more methodical than Souls bosses - and the kinds of things you can get away with are insane.
Timestamps: 0:00 - Secured the rough diamonds hidden in Spugmay Keep 0:23 - Pinpointed Kazuhira Miller's whereabouts 3:06 - Extracted the transport truck driver 3:34 - Extracted the commander from the Wakh Sind Barracks 6:03 - Completed the mission without being discovered by the Skulls 10:11 - Extracted Kazuhira MillerSekiro - Inner Father - Sword Only, No DamageKosm642023-05-12 | I wasn't happy with my earlier attempt at this... bad RNG and an unfortunate jump in the recording. This fight went much smoother, and is 50 seconds faster.
(NG+7, Charmless/Bell Demon)Elden Ring - The Final Battle - No DamageKosm642023-04-18 | RNG: The Boss Fight. The trick here is to stance-break Elden Beast as he's doing the Elden Stars windup animation. If not... it's basically GG.
(NG+4)Elden Ring - Malenia, Blade of Miquella - Buckler Parries, No DamageKosm642023-04-01 | The mark of a broken mind. I swear they patched out the run and jump trick for avoiding WFD. I had to learn the 360-spin and somehow it seems less consistent. 10/10 boss design!
(NG+4)Elden Ring - Maliketh, the Black Blade - Colossal Sword, No DamageKosm642023-02-20 | I originally recorded this back when the "Maliketh Has no Openings" discourse was in full swing. This fight is a prime example of good hitboxes rewarding proper positioning.
(NG+3)Sekiro - Isshin Ashina - Sword Only, No DamageKosm642023-02-18 | One Mind is what Malenia's Waterfowl Dance should have been. Daunting, but simple to avoid with enough game knowledge. Still, Sword Only Isshin is a fun challenge.
(NG+7, Charmless/Bell Demon)Elden Ring - Bullying a Godskin NobleKosm642022-10-29 | ...Elden Ring - My Dragon Head is CoolerKosm642022-10-01 | Godrick stays still long enough during the phase 2 opener to be able to cast the whole Placidusax's Ruin.
(Godrick the Grafted, No Hit/No Damage, NG+3)Elden Ring - Dragonlord Placidusax vs. Godslayers Greatsword - No DamageKosm642022-09-25 | Placidusax is so big and slow you can comfortably use the full AoW and still have time for another attack. Plus, the black flame eats away for more damage because of his gargantuan health pool.
(NG+2)Elden Ring - Malenia, Blade of Miquella - No Hit / No DamageKosm642022-08-23 | I'd like to give a massive thank-you to Why Chi for the jump technique against Waterfowl Dance. It's incredible how well it works.
All in all, Malenia is still a boss with a myriad of problems, but I've warmed up to her a lot since launch.
(NG+2)Elden Ring - Godskin Duo - No DamageKosm642022-06-24 | It's hilarious how well sleep pots work against them. This fight is less Godskin 'Duo' and more Godskin 'Gauntlet'.
(NG+2)Elden Ring - Fire Giant Vs. Destined Death - No DamageKosm642022-06-19 | When it comes to Fire Giant and his massive HP pool, it's best to use max hp-based attacks, like Black Flame, Destined Death, Bleed, etc.
(NG+2)Elden Ring - Godskin Apostle (Caelid) - No DamageKosm642022-06-05 | His hyper-aggressive, chaining melee combos make finding openings super difficult. Best strategy is chain stagger, or to parry him.
(NG+2)Elden Ring - Poor AgheelKosm642022-06-03 | Early-game bosses are far too easy in NG+ and beyond. This hardly counts as a fight.
(NG+2)Elden Ring - Godskin Apostle (Windmill Village) - NG+, No DamageKosm642022-05-17 | Not the cleanest fight in the world, I missed a couple of parries and an R2 due to his hitboxes not connecting. My Bloody Helice was only upgraded to +2, since the +10 one absolutely melted his healthbar.Elden Ring - Soldier of Godrick - SL1, Fists Only, No DamageKosm642022-05-16 | I probably make up 25-30% of global deaths to Soldier of Godrick now. Of course, all of them were calculated and intentional!Elden Ring - Astel, Stars of Darkness - NG+, No DamageKosm642022-05-09 | This fight is bittersweet. It cheapens the first Astel encounter, Naturalborn of the Void. But, he's harder and has different attack logic, which makes for a more challenging experience.Elden Ring - Malenia, Blade of Miquella - NG+, No DamageKosm642022-05-08 | WEW LAD. This one was tough. 20 in-game hours. I feel like she'd be more fun with Sekiro mechanics... imagine deflecting waterfowl dance with the umbrella...Sekiro - Demon of Hatred - Sword Only, NG+, No DamageKosm642022-04-20 | After grinding out Elden Ring bosses, this fella doesn't seem so hard anymore. Had pretty bad RNG in the 1st phase, but great RNG in the 2md and 3rd. Was attempting a NG+7/Charmless/Bell Demon version, but it's on the unfun side. His healthbar is massive...Elden Ring - Godfrey, First Elden Lord/Hoarah Loux, Warrior - NG+, No DamageKosm642022-04-16 | Probably the best base game Elden Ring boss. Chad Tarnished.Elden Ring - Maliketh, the Black Blade - NG+, No DamageKosm642022-04-12 | This is a fight I wish was implemented better. Beast Clergyman is one of the most unfun bosses in the game, while Maliketh is one of the coolest and most fun. It's a real shame how quickly he goes down.Elden Ring - Mohg, Lord of Blood, ft. Hand of Malenia - NG+, No hit* (Read Desc.)Kosm642022-04-09 | A no damage fight isn't possible without cheese. Still, it's a no-hit, since he technically doesn't hit you... Nihil damage only.Elden Ring - Double Crucible Knight - NG+, No DamageKosm642022-04-05 | I'm going to refrain from voicing my raw opinions on this fight, as it would involve the use of foul language. Fighting one Crucible Knight? Cool. Fighting two? No.Elden Ring - Soldier of Godrick - NG+, No DamageKosm642022-04-01 | Hardest boss in the game.
(This is not a serious video. This is an April Fools joke.)Elden Ring - Bell Bearing Hunter - NG+, No Parry, No DamageKosm642022-03-29 | Was gonna do Elemer of the Briar but just melted his heathbar.Elden Ring - Morgott, the Omen King - NG+, No Parry, No DamageKosm642022-03-27 | Old man thinks he's Gael. This was a tough one, especially with how much he varies his combos.Elden Ring - Starscourge Radahn - NG+, No DamageKosm642022-03-22 | Didn't get a chance to really learn his moveset until after 1.03. Still a super fun fight though.Elden Ring - Godrick the Grafted - NG+, No DamageKosm642022-03-19 | If Godrick wielded a Zweihander, would it still be a Zweihander? An Einshander? Dreihander? Who knows.Elden Ring - Margit vs. Miséricorde - NG+, No DamageKosm642022-03-16 | Mans never stood a chance.Elden Ring - Humiliating the Tree Sentinel - NG+, No DamageKosm642022-03-16 | First of many Elden Ring videos!
The Tree Sentinel is trivial on NG+. Also, Golden Parry is OP as hell!
I wanted to do a full playthrough before really focusing on no-hitting the bosses. Many of whom I'm really not looking forward to, and others I won't be doing at all. (Ahem, Godskin Duo.)TF2 - Sniper makes it FatKosm642022-01-29 | This is a 100% certified MVM Sniper moment.
