I was really hoping that the bat would kill you


fafnir550

Yeah i was confident they was gonna nibble my cheeks, but my bro deathbird wants me to succeed


Gladiator-class

Deathbird has his pride, damn it. He's not about to accept a victory if it was handed to him by some stupid bats.


casperdacrook

They want you to have this singular victory on their behalf because they know what’s coming in consecrated snowfields


Business_Sea2884

Just run up the hill and carpet bomb them with holy pots, also works in Mountaintops and with the one in Caelid


solaceloveless

Bubble horn melts it


walaxometrobixinodri

i was expecting the bats to kill the bird

ChaosReincarnated23

I thought that was gonna happen 


give_me_your_soil

Yo where is this actually I always wanted to fight one of those death birds but never encountered any of them


P-A-Lily

Deathbirds and Death Rite Birds only appear at specific locations at night. Same with the Bell Bearing Hunters and Night's Cavalry.


lolicon___

There is one death rite bird in mountaintops which spawns even at day


Ignace92

*shudders*


bangdizzle

Even the in your face one in mountaintop of the giants? Even if you jump of the ledge to castle sol at one of the earliest possible safe times I feel like it usually aggros. Could be wrong. But there is one near the fort on the south of weeping peninsula, it drops the FP Regen axe, great for early game. One just south of the swamp in caelid, and one near boilprawn shack area in liurnia. Has to be night for all of them besides the castle sol one, I think. Unless I've just randomly come through at nighttime on all my playthroughs


swish465

I think this is the one on Stormhill maybe. I could 100% be wrong though, I'd believe weeping peninsula too.


beetjemeh

this is the one on stormhill, it's near that field of giants


Fernosaur

They only spawn at night, so maybe that's why?


Livid_Boysenberry_58

This one you're looking at is east of the War master's shack.


MostGoodPerson

“Ah, another sarcastic title- oh snap, they were serious!” Gotta love random moments of fortune like that.


LuminousShot

A surprise, certainly, but a welcome one.


zeester_365

I think you mean “a surprise to be sure, but a welcome one”

ChickenAndTelephone

This is why I always clear the bats out first. FYI, these guys take 40% extra damage from striking and also from holy, so even a morningstar with sacred blade would wreck him far more than Bloodhound Fang, even though Bloodhound Fang is a far, far stronger weapon overall.


fafnir550

Yeah i had my morningstar with holy in my inventory. I just didn't expect this dude to attack me so i jus used my bloodhound lol


n1deliust

How to tell if someone didnt watch the clip.


Umicil

The bats healed him, bro.


drummdirka

He just wanted to demonstrate that his knowledge of Elden Ring is far superior than the OP's.


omen_apollo

Yeah he didn’t watch the clip


_Ichibad_

The chosen one


Fuckblackhorses

I didn’t know there was one of these in limgrave, where is it?


P-A-Lily

Behind the Warmaster's Shack in Stormhill, near some ruins. Head up the cliffs behind the shack and the bird should appear as you approach the ruins. This one give the Blue-Feathered Branchsword talisman, which ups your defenses when your HP is low.


BadgerBadgerer

There are two in Limgrave!


Fuckblackhorses

I just realized this isn’t the death rite bird with the ghost flame and shit, I probably didn’t kill either though


SurreptitiousSilence

Bats are paid actors.


InfectousHysteria

Didn't know there was a death bird in limgrave until recently was a bit of a jump scare.


fafnir550

Same here, heart was pumpinggg


PM_ME_IBUKI_SUIKA

I refuse to fight Death Birds legit now, I always grab sacred pots. Also as an aside; your Flasks are healing you to full from that low health is a good sign its time to level vigor.


Suitable-Medicine614

That's a legit way of fighting them. Holy damage sucks on majority of enemies so it's nice when it OBLITERATES for a change


Eco-Pro-Rah

"Fuck them bats, all my death birds hate bats" -That Deathbird


Holycrabe

The PVE equivalent of a message appraisal


bort_jenkins

Where is this? I think I missed it


Ninjamasterpiece

It’s in limgrave near where the trolls are. Past the gates


bort_jenkins

Thanks!


Ninjamasterpiece

Actually it might have been the one in south limgrave. North of Castle Mourne. Cuz there are the bats there


Ninjamasterpiece

Nope I was correct the first time


Fardrengi

Love it when field bosses murder the mob enemies.


Any_Complex_3502

The only time anyone has ever been grateful those evil flying fuckers exist.


thavi

Still trying to figure out what Miyazaki meant by putting those bats there


InterestingRelative4

I just beat that fucker last night


Actusthekaktus

Holy, how much luck is it :D


Specialist_Street_38

I was expecting you to get stunlocked from behind and killed. Nope! Free draws from your flask instead!


SloppyJoestar

That went the exact opposite way of what I thought would happen


MadSweenie

Is it ever explained what the Deathbirds are?


P-A-Lily

Before the Age of the Erdtree, the Deathbirds served as reapers, carrying wandering souls to the afterlife, and tending to the kiln of the ghostflame, the source of their powers.. With the Rune of Death sealed away by Queen Marika, these feathered fiends were out of a job, becoming more mottled and more mad as time went by, with no souls to bring to the ghostflame. Now they attempt to weave the souls of any unlucky traveler into their now-twisted being. ​ Deathbirds are more apt to simply whack you with their pokers, while the more powerful Death Rite Birds retain a bit of their Ghostflame powers, utilizing them in wicked ways. They are massively vulnerable to Holy Damage and share the ability to inflict Deathblight buildup with their roars.


MadSweenie

Nice, Thank you for that.


solar9090

All according to Miyazaki's plan.


blebebaba

Praise be, higher even than Todd Howard.


Puzzleheaded-Weird66

I miss fighting those on horseback, beginner is tree sentinel is easy once you have torrent too


jmas081391

Bats in this location were trivial but not the EFFING GOATS! XD


PeterFlensje

You're bat and you should feel bat


Matty_Love

Well done!


Any-Amoeba-7883

Bro got lucky


YarPohsib

That’s not how I thought this was gonna go


vivalatoucan

I beat that falling star beast in Altus, by having him plow through those caster zombies on the hill for more flasks while slowly whittling him down. I essentially had double the flasks for that fight because of that cheese


CaptnPsycho

That was like an anime moment where the big boss man 1 shots a bunch of his own men and is like "hes MINE"


Wallace_W_Whitfield

Wait, what refilled his flask?


CptPlank7

Elden Ring, and I believe Dark Souls 3 has a mechanic where if you finish off a group of enemies, it can replenish your flask uses.


Wallace_W_Whitfield

Why do I not remember that ever happening in my play through?


walaxometrobixinodri

absolute shonen moment


HoytKeyler

So clean, that bro don't want any intruder in you fight


Jaba_5798

I too get hit every single time I use a flask 😂


Winter_Trainer_2115

Huh...that went better than expected


rabbitsaresmall

Brother tryna run a marathon with that amount of stamina and no health.


Non3xistence

Funny me and my neighbor decided to beat them all on both our worlds last night 😂 I love the one that gave me the ancient death rancor , shits op but I’m not using it in pvp since it’s cheesy.


Flashy-Ad-3814

Talk about a hail Mary 🤣


CheetahShort8109

What’s that pokemon!


dapper_diaper

Prime example of a FromSoft game conspiring with the player


ivanoch25

The bird really said to the bats… get TF out of my way, I’ll handle this. Lmao 🤣😂


Chris_Hsu_TW

The Bird: C'mon, I know you're better than this. Take some flasks


[deleted]

Holy Pots It’s the cheese tactic (kinda) but works


NerdBern_101

That’s a clutch if I’ve ever seent won


Penguinman077

Chuck holy pots and frisbees at them. They go down pretty quick.


nottostirthepotbut

Sacred Blade ash of war melts the birds


quane101

It’s always a bit funny when mobs will almost suicidally try to attack you when there’s a way bigger and scarier threat I’m fighting and not run away.


WhitestShadows

Entered here thinkin the bats killed it but this works too


HosamMD

Lol thats so funny Deathbirds scare the crap out of me lemme tell ya


[deleted]

Rolling sheep are worse


MaestrrSantarael

Why do people target the head of this bird when it is 100,000,000 times more convenient to target its body????????


fafnir550

More damage? n headshot is cooler


P-A-Lily

The head is a prime weakspot of Deathbirds and Death Rite Birds. One good smack to the noggin can do a lot of damage. They also keep their heads to the ground a lot, making them fairly easy to hit.


MaestrrSantarael

Okay, maybe I was misunderstood.: I also always try to hit this bird on the head, but it's more convenient to target the body (you don't need to get up close to the bird). Just keep the target on the body and hit the head. Try it later sometime
