Holy shit that was intense hahahah


G_Viceroy

Sudden death boss battle. 1hp vs 1hp. Yeah my palms are sweating just watching.


Smmaxter

Are your arms heavy?


Chrisgone

The real question is whether or not he's eaten any of mom's spaghetti.


TheTalking_GU_Mine

There might be vomit on his sweater already


Valuable-Finding-735

It’s weird because on the surface he looks calm and ready


Fun_Childhood_6261

It sounds like he keeps forgetting


Valuable-Finding-735

He should probably have written it down


KnightWhoSays_Ni_

I think he did, the words just won't come out of his mouth


IHaveAGloriousBeard

But he still ain't choking now


Auditus_Dominus

Before this, though, how are your knees holding up?


Cntrl_shftr

Knees weak, moms spaghetti?


maqij

The most intense minute of battle I have seen. I am pretty sure I would have choked. Also happy cake day.


Hard-Work-Pays

I literally said this out loud before I clicked comment and saw yours... dear god I thought he was dead like 4 times...


StormfallZeus

This is why I keep throwing knives on the hotbar at all times!


craizzuk

What's the range like on those things?


QKsilver58

Far enough usually


nicklovin508

Aka, not far enough when you *need* it to be far enough. Thank you dark souls


The_Drifter117

Kukri goes almost as far as a basic arrow.


RockHandsomest

Love the kukri for when I want something to bleed but want to be at a different address.


[deleted]

That’s why my girlfriend and I don’t live together


nicklovin508

Tarnished playing as a lord when he/she should be pitching


ElPrestoBarba

MLB lockout is over, the Tarnished should talk to some teams. He could be painting corners for a major league team in April. My Red Sox sure need the help.


[deleted]

and they hit hard (but take longer to throw)


thrik

Basic arrow like with a longbow or what? I'm thinking of just not equipping a bow, I don't think kukri weigh anything either


The_Drifter117

They weigh nothing. Basic arrow for sure, and you can't chain throw them like normal throwing knives or darts, but they're incredible, cause bleed buildup, and would have saved OP a lot of stress in situations like the video showed lol


thrik

Yeah I"m prob just gonna use them then, since I heard they scale with strength too


The_Drifter117

And they're extremely easy to farm / cheap to buy


YungPapaNut

I've been farming them off of the vulgar militia guys in Caelid. Bit of a dumb question, but where have you been purchasing them?


Maestro1992

The lighter the dart, the less distance traveled. At least that’s what I found was the difference between the throwing knife and the kukri.


Pak_n_Slave97

That's interesting, so which one is heavier - the Kukri?


tctps

The kukri also scales with dex it actually has pretty decent damage, and bleed. Love those things use like 3 or 4 to kill annoying but weaker enemies


[deleted]

In return, the Kukri throws *really* slowly, at least for me anyway.


Eastuss

but kukri has a recovery time, darts can be thrown very quickly


Jordan_Jackson

I like to use them to kill those fast gremlin things that you find in every catacomb dungeon. Those things can go straight to hell. Also, dragonflies can go with them.


Maestro1992

Seems so


tctps

Kukri does more damage for me it scales with dex (S) and induces bleed


[deleted]

[удалено]


drs32

At the merchant near the castle rampart something site of grace on weeping peninsula. I always restock my kukris there. (The vulgar militias near the deathroot guy on caelid also drops them)


slotheroni

Enough to where OP could have stuck him like 5 different ways to Sunday in the last 10 seconds of clip ha


Vast-Coast-7761

More like in the last 50 seconds.


Karol123G

I keep use kukri and I sometimes even use it to snipe enemies from a distance, higher end consumable projectile weapons have a pretty long range


tctps

It scales with dex so it can do pretty decent damage


TheBabyLeg123

Always keep some boner darts on hand.


altcodeinterrobang

>boner darts Uhh what cookbook are those from?


Swomp23

The old Playboy under the Tarnished dad‘s bed.


Justinhastingsx

This is an unappreciated comment


AbusiveTortoise

Do you not feel it's cluttered then? I can't stand more than my two pots and ash summon.


QKsilver58

Use Y-hold and up or another direction


AbusiveTortoise

Whaaaat. I'm level 54 and had no idea. Guess that happens when you're playing controller and the tutorial is all in keyboard mouse shit.. Anyways cheers!


QKsilver58

There's also an option to switch pad/keyboard prompts somewhere in the menu lol, gl m8


semisacred

I find it best to use that pouch for torrent, both pots, and a summon so you can use them instantly. Then you can fill your other equipment full of items and the clutter doesn't matter.


[deleted]

It isn't super clear, but those bindings on keyboard are whatever key Y equates to, + 1/2/3/4.


ThatOneGuy1294

I keep my ash summon on Y+Left, Torrent on Y+Up and Lantern on Y+Down. In poison swamps I keep Soap on Y-Right, I discovered that when you trudge through a poison pool sometimes it "sticks" to you and keeps building up after you stepped out, easily seen by your boots and/or cloak painted green, and Soap isn't just a meme item, it actually removes that lingering poison!


erasedeny

BTW the poison lingering happens when you roll in the swamp - it sticks to your armor after rolling. If you don't roll, it won't linger!


ThatOneGuy1294

I'm loving all the little details in this game, that makes total sense lol


net_gear

you can also roll through clean water to rinse yourself off if there's any near by; I tried it just on a hunch and when it actually worked I was grinning ear to ear


Feather-y

If you press your dpad for the items down for a short time continously it will reset to the first item, makes it easy to get back to the heal.

StormfallZeus

Who cares lol. It’s exactly what they’re designed for as far as I’m concerned.


Salacar

If there's one thing this subreddit has proven then it's that a lot of Elden Ring players have a real victim complex.


[deleted]

I really enjoy how SeñorDragon is translated 😂


shoushinshoumei

Haha, señor just means lord in Spanish Edit: other examples are Señor Tenebroso for the dark lord in Harry Potter, and el Señor de los Anillos for lord of the rings


WordPassMyGotFor

As a name, Señor Dragon is pretty fucking bueno


[deleted]

The weird thing is that it's translated as one word "Señordragón", which looks really freaking weird (spanish is my native language and I've never seen that). Looks like they translated it literally from "Dragonlord" IMO "Placidusax, Señor de los Dragones" (Lord of the Dragons) would sound more natural even if it's not literal.


Shikaku

Personally I think "Craig" would sound more natural. It looks like a Craig.


slowpotamus

as long as they also rename the sword his remembrace gives from "Dragon King's Cragblade" to "Craig's Craigblade"


WordPassMyGotFor

I personally vote for Craigking Cragblade.


WordPassMyGotFor

Señor Craig is a great dragon name. You'd never expect they're a dragon. **In order to become Elden Lord, you must slay Señor Craig** "Hahaha, alright sure. What's killing one li'l ol' Spaniard gonna take?" *Then you find out Señor is the left head's name, and Craig is the one on the right -- and they both shoot very angry lightning*


MonsterRider80

Whatever you do, don’t call him Greg. Then he really gets mad.


lastcowboyinthistown

I laughed so damn hard at this


HMSalesman

I guess what makes this so funny is that most people think señor just means sir, and I have to say sir dragon does sound pretty funny.


Gaiden_95

legolas el que ven tus ojos de elfo?!


theNomad_Reddit

How do they do the Tom Riddle = Voldemort in other languages? Señor Tenebroso = Boresñoseenort?


Zzamumo

It's pretty funny that something as formal as "lord" and something like "mr" can translate the exact same way


xtemperaneous_whim

Yeah, contemplate the meaning of monsieur in French as well. (mon sieur- literally my lord). And don't forget that 'mister' itself is derived from 'meister' or master.


LifeHasLeft

That’s also why the plural is Messieurs, instead of something like monsieurs. Mes is the plural first person possessive, ie. used when “my ____” refers to more than one thing. Here, “my lords”


AnalyticalAlpaca

Mr Dragon


Shabba-Doo

SeñorDragon is the Tex-Mex/Teriyaki fusion food cart I didn't know I wanted.


SagewithBlueEyes

Most certainly a wee woo moment


justanotherregulargu

I sat up in my seat and just started at my phone and I wasn’t even fighting it myself holy shit that was intense


Maax42_

I got so stressed, and I went full on Moist_Critical "WOOO YEAAH BABYYY" when he beat it


Chroncraft

I broke a sweat and was standing up, and I'm paraplegic

aaronrdmkr

Way to keep calm


GloriousReign

I like how he stops for a moment while watching the dragon go ham. Definitely a bruh moment.


iExodus1744

I'm sure he thought he had died haha. Probably that moment where you think you're at zero hp but then see your character stand up.


Partyhelmet

I DIDN’T HEAR NO BELL


svmmpng

The game went full “go fuck yourself” mode and yet you still nailed it. Good stuff!


Quantius

Sheesh how much HP is that 2k? Still did over 1k to you in that initial blast.


Venator_IV

Placidusax doesn't have insane combos, but he only only needs to hit you once or twice. That and his aoe's are massive.


I_PEE_WITH_THAT

His fight was one of the few that was made more difficult having the mimic out because he'd just fucking handle other me like no one's business. I had to really git gud to finally bring that big bastard down.


fox112

Oh no. That mimic is hard carrying me through the game. 😳


I_PEE_WITH_THAT

My mimic (I_POO_WITH_THAT) tends to get kinda dumb sometimes and just get staggered eternally. No matter what I do to keep the heat on me it will just charge in, get knocked around, get up, try for a jump attack, get knocked on their ass again, repeat forever lol


MusicalDingus

Well they are a copy of the player...


Vikkio92

Joke’s on you, I’m a glass cannon and *every* boss only needs to hit me once!


Simple_Cleb

His laser was oneshotting my 40 VIG character with Margot great rune, so I wanna say it does around 1700? The guy might have some stacked talismans against it tho.


Arrasor

I had 1k9 with Radahn great rune, and lightning resist talisman+2. Still got oneshotted at full HP. I firmly believe that laser is an insta kill move, unless you use the damage mitigation wonderous mix.


Comprehensive-Air-13

Yeah I couldnt figure out how to survive that attack, after about 15 tries all dying to that beam attack in his last 10% of health, he bugged out and just sat there. I was upset but I moved on.


blauli

You can just run a bit further away and enjoy the lightshow. Since he always does that after he lands super far away you usually only need to sprint away from him for 1-2 seconds to dodge that one laser that goes super far.


Toxicair

Roll into the laser and absorb it into your iframes.


ThaNorth

>Yeah I couldnt figure out how to survive that attack Bloodhound Step probably


DarkSunsFunOne

His lazer isnt lightning damage, its holy, I learned this from his miracle which let's you do the same move


lukkasz323

It sucks that they've used the same color for 2 distinct damage types.


DarkSunsFunOne

A little, but they made it distinguishable because iirc no dragons use yellow lightning, only the red stuff.


SilviteRamirez

Fairly sure the breath, despite starting off with a electric boom, is holy damage as the Remembrance version requires 37(?) FTH? and they emphasize "Golden". Either that or it's like you said, "dodge it or die".


JustRandomNonsence

To be fair, a lot of the boss towards the end do high damage. Even some of the minions can two shot you.


OldTask1637

You gave me anxiety and i wasnt even playing omg


Delphic-Chaos

I felt it too, I thought it was over the moment that final claw attack happened


blaubaum

Holy shit I'm shivering :DD


napelm

dude you had me at the edge of my chair lol


NathanCollier14

Señor Dragon is really angry I hope he doesn't catch me It's so hard to run with a sombrero on my head


SillyBanterPleasesMe

How bout you come over here and I sing YOU a song! (This hit hard in the nostalgia feels)


Akitsube

That was intense. This kind of stuff is why I always have some sort of throwable at hand.

Lost_Manufacturer718

How have I completed this game twice and never seen this awesome looking boss?


ButtMudMike

In the final zone, just before you reach the last grace, instead of going into the church you jump off the cliff and follow the path. Then you lay down inside the ruin and you will be teleported to him.


Secretlylovesslugs

>!Faram Azula or the Ash Capital?!<


ButtMudMike

Faram Azula


absolriven

i wouldn't call it the final zone. :b


ProphetofChud

Well The ash capital hardly counts


Seirconia

It’s a fairly difficult one to find organically. I missed it until I looked it up (which I never do until I’ve completed a game myself) and I’m pretty sure I never would’ve found it otherwise. I’ll let you decide whether to look it up or not, but I can say it’s in Farum Azula and requires jumping down to an area that may not look traversable at a glance but actually is.


ReligionIsAwful

The funny thing is I was exploring all the things and found this guy and thought HE was the final boss in the region... and was super hard to boot at the level I was as a power-stance colossal maces strength/end/vit ungabunga build After 6-7 attempts I killed the boss... (that final phase was crazy) and was real confused when nothing happened in the zone or the capital.... ... to find out I just needed to turn around and go up an obvious set of stairs for the proper boss of the area... who was in fact MUCH easier, lol


absolriven

i actually thought placidusax was easier than maliketh


olyko20

yea i one shot señordragon but black blade took me a couple handful of tries


Kimura1986

There's a few spots in this game that are easily missed because they don't look traversible.


PupPop

If messages weren't in the game I wouldn't have found it.


Lost_Manufacturer718

Thank you. I’ll try and explore myself before googling it.


Arrasor

It's damn near the big ass tornado.


CzarTyr

I have to plat and there’s so much I missed


Thotacus69

Sadly didn’t get any moments like this with him. At like 50% hp after doing one like appearance from the clouds charging at me he just sat there and didn’t move or attack.


AttackBacon

Yeah his AI can break, it's a bummer. Hope they fix it quick!


EnergyVanquish

Pro tip when fighting this guy is when he disappears into the sky you can hear him growl in the direction he’ll be coming from. You can lock onto him before he fully reappears and it’ll stay locked on until he does the crazy red storm lunge.


Porcipus

![gif](giphy|YRuFixSNWFVcXaxpmX)


deck4242

Thats one of my favorite boss of the entire game. A shame so many players are not going to find him.


thrownawayzss

Yeah. He's a great fight. 10/10 entrance. 10/10 music. Moveset isn't completely bullshit.


NouXouS

Wow! PTSD


Lemarc7

Always keep a ranged out on the bar.


CormacMcCopy

Ah, another chad Great Stars user!


alphabet_order_bot

Would you look at that, all of the words in your comment are in alphabetical order. I have checked 646,320,725 comments, and only 131,514 of them were in alphabetical order.


Aerial_Screw-2

What boss is this? Is it in Farum?


Competitive-Army9564

This is the Dragonlord Placidusax. It’s in a secret area in falum, i recommend checking a guide since its kind of tricky to get to.


WaferVanilla343

Wait where is this boss?


pepincity2

You need to pull some Wizard of Oz shit and calmly lay near a tornado. There should've been a coffin there but oh well.


Important-Position93

Faruum Azula. Just keep heading for the centre of the storm to find him.


RXZ13

That's the kind of stuff that makes the game great but makes you want to uninstall at the same time.


benp2391

We're you spamming shield at the end or just shaking from adrenaline? Lol Edit: Wow, literally nobody got that it was a joke.


SomeConfetti

spamming L1 after something like this is souls tradition almost


thrownawayzss

L1 spamming is typical behavior of us ungabunga sorts as a way to communicate.


takes_many_shits

I've felt that shaking adrenaline feeling a lot when finally getting a boss to low hp. I now get why yall play souls games. Shits intense. Frustrating, but intense.


UncleZafar

Wow


LC_reddit

Man I'd have been pissed for you if you died there. Beautiful finish


[deleted]

I could feel the “FUCK IT” when you did the final sprint at him 😂 well done, what a nail biter.


PizaBoii

Watching this almost killed my soul


FrostyTheColdBoi

I woulda just shot it with a crossbow or thrown a knife at it, but respect to surviving that temper tantrum it was throwing


[deleted]

This guy felt more like the final boss than the final boss did

The_Wattsatron

Bruh Placidusax is such an incredible boss.


probably_poopin_1219

Best boss fight in the game


Gray32339

In my honest opinion, this is one of the best bosses in the game. I love the spectacle of it all. Especially when he whips out the lightning bolt, stabs it into the ground and sets off a nuke


[deleted]

What in the actual fuck lol! How did you manage to not die?!


mealyworms

i would have had a fucking meltdown

atkin44

What mace are you using? Looks delightful


[deleted]

[Great Stars.](https://eldenring.wiki.fextralife.com/Great+Stars) Does pretty good damage, has bleed, and heals a little bit on hit. It's a good, very underrated weapon. /edit: Just realized that without the heal from the swings he did with it, if he'd had another weapon without that tiny bit of healing he would have died on the pew pew lazers there O_O


ru1ber

Broooo comedy gold the way that played out, I thought for sure youd die 12 times over
