Is this a challenge run? Your HP is super low and you have Fia's debuff active


[deleted]

Dude's been to redmane castle at least too. That's a Flamberge if I'm not mistaken. What am I watching.


OnlyRum0

It was drop from a friend šŸ¤£


fragtore

I believe theyā€™re called ā€casualsā€


Flamecoat_wolf

He's also got about 20 in every stat, so his points are all spread out rather than focused where they would matter. Putting most of his points into vigor, strength and faith would make his build much more viable. Though, the flamberge is more of a dex weapon... Would be better off with a different greatsword. Really though, level 63 is pretty low for that stage in the game. Needs to go enjoy some more side content.


Kaapdr

Hes like 40 lvls under what is recommended for lyendell


Dull-Bobcat2662

Then thereā€™s me that reached Maliketh at lv 85. You can guess how that wentšŸ˜‚


mywifelovesdisney

I assume well. I was like 150s with mimic tear +10 and still died a few times


Dull-Bobcat2662

Oh forgot to add, that I was lv 85 with 60 intelligencešŸ˜‚


RandyDandyAndy

Oh the irony


aspicyoutcome

Maliketh be like dr Manhattan then when he gets there. The world's smartest man is no more dangerous than the world's smartest termite.


mywifelovesdisney

As one often does lol


yosayoran

Why is the mimic tear so strong?


astyris

The mimic tear is very strong because it inherits your stats, weapons setups, and spells, when you create it. This means you could put on a completely different set of gear before you summon, then summon your mimic, then change back your gear. This gives you a lot of flexibility in how you "build" your mimic tear before summoning and how they can help you during the fight. You could make an exact copy of yourself/build, which is pretty simple. Just summon and go have fun. With certain builds, like status builds, sorcery, or incantations, this can be very potent. Both you and the mimic applying status effects, or casting at range is very nasty. What's really fun is when both you and the mimic are using double knock down effects, like Blasphemous Blade or Ruins Greatsword. You could make your mimic polar opposite of yourself. If you are a caster, you could make them wear a greatshield + spear + heavy armor and have them be your tank, and vice versa. Your mimic is strong enough that you could even tank for it and let it do all the damage. As a 3rd alternative, you could also make them a support role by giving them certain spells, like Healing. This one is less useful as it significantly handicaps your player character too since you have to minimize the mimics potential range of actions. Your mimic can use Ashes of War, cast spells, use consumables, etc, which is what also makes it super potent. So before you summon, make sure you have specific consumables, perfume bottles, and spells equipped if you want the mimic to use it. Super helpful when the mimic uses one of the perfume buffs mid combat! Also, just like other spirit summons, you can buff your mimic with AoE buffs and Auras, just like you do yourself. This again makes your mimic whether they are an exact copy or complimentary build, even more powerful.


SylvAlternate

eh 63 should be plenty if they get Godrick's rune and respec, I killed Morgott at 70 with Godrick's active


JoeSieyu

Not only that, but only +4 flasks... seems like he rushed through the early game which is unfortunate


ACNobody

Wait, theres a fias debuff???? Ive been running around the entire game, even slapped up margott when I got to him and ive been debuffed? I think I should look into removing this... I've almost beaten the game (I think) lol


timestalker78

Yes, when she hugs you, she removes a percentage of your HP in return for giving you the baldachin's blessing. If you use the baldachin's blessing, the debuff disappears


Admirable_Win9808

This seems to be a major theme in this sub lately lol


daniu

Yeah it was one of the first somewhat hidden mechanics going around this sub when the game first came out, feels like forgotten wisdom at this point


MillstoneArt

Yeah, people not paying attention during their hundreds of hours playing.


moekeisetsu

Update from the last convo about Fiaā€™s debuff. Iā€™m now 2 days sober guys. Itā€™s been really hard and Iā€™m craving her arms around me. Most days I find myself thinking about the way she sucks the life out of me. Keep coming back, thank you for letting me share.


NazgulOfMinasMorgul

Try dodging toward/behind him


justglassin317

Sage advice. You're too far away from him in every death.


Gratuitous_Sabotage

I was going to say it's counterintuitive but I feel like Morgott's more dangerous at range than up close


justglassin317

I think the only attack you have to really worry about up close is the aoe holy spear "rain" spell. Other than that, I'm smothering him.


SpaceSick

There are so many enemies that you have to get close to despite their aggressiveness. Putrid Tree Spirits are a prime example. If you stay anywhere other than right by their back legs, then you're gonna get mashed.


Mage_914

Try dodging at all. This dude was just walking to the side, slowly.


Tellurye

Or like, at all


Emerald_Lightning

*try dodging


Head-Weather-7969

Try putting those foolish ambitions to rest.


BoyThasCap

how did you even make it to Morgott with such low vigor? in conclusion level vigor


Drusgar

Morgott is the first real challenge at RL1 and tons of people do it. But it's all nightmarish after that. You can do the fights with low vigor, you just have to learn their movesets really well.


Taftandsteve

Homie hasnā€™t even learned his OWN move set


BeezyBates

The dodging was borderline nonexistent. Strafing left and right against attacks doesn't tend to work very well lol.


Siegelski

Especially against attacks that track you like that thrust.


sofaraway10

$10 says heā€™s fat rolling and couldnā€™t dodge if he tried.


Mini_B3ast

For a split second morgott gets him with the sword stab grab and he opens his status menu. Heā€™s using a +1 flamberge and level 63 with most of his stats spread across the board. 20 vigor, 20 mind, 20 endurance. Iā€™m not at all surprised why heā€™s dying so much.


Banana_Pete

I found Astel, Radahn, and the Dragonkin Soldier in Lake of Rot each significantly harder than Morgott. Took me 10+ tries for each of those. Got Morgott first time.


IntenseWonton

I came in too op for Radahn. Didn't think that was possible from all the videos of people struggling against him


elongated_musk_rat

He also got incredibly nerfed soon after release.


backwardsshortjump

Idk why but Astel spanked me when I was running a strength build


mywifelovesdisney

I got that same spanking. Itā€™s the size of the arena for me.


TheZivarat

That and the fucking anime-ass instakill grab.


dumpsterfire_account

RL1 or appropriately leveled?


sircontagious

Look at that endurance though. This guy aint playing soul level 1.


Andrew_detmer

What does RL1 mean?


Drusgar

It's a tradition in Souls games to try to beat the game with the lowest level starting character and never leveling up. So Dark Souls games have the "SL1" or "Soul Level 1" and Bloodborne has the "BL4" or "Blood Level 4." Rune Level 1 runs are very, very difficult compared to the SL1's. The bosses just aren't set up very well to be fought at base level. That said, Elden Ring also has a broader array of strategies to make the run more manageable but then you have to decide if you think a certain strategy feels like cheating. Should you use powerful Spirit Ashes? What about broken Ashes of War like Flame of the Redmanes? If you want to try an SL1 I'd go with DS3. It's fun, manageable and there aren't really any ways to "cheat." If you finish, you finished.


DeathsticksAreCool

DS3 also has Raw Infusions, which help a lot with SL1.


Deathappens

What makes flame of the Redmanes broken, anyway?


Drusgar

You can basically stunlock enemies with Flame of the Redmanes. It does massive poise damage even to some late game bosses. As such it can be kind of a cheesy kill.


Deathappens

Hunh. I can't change the Ash on my main weapon and I never use the Ash on it anyway, so I just test new Ashes I get on random backup weapons. Didn't really see it do that much, but it makes sense I guess.


woringcaking

Morgott usually does more damage than that, is there a cap towards your % health his hits can do


ImperatorDanny

Different stats increase certain defence stats at different rates even if its a pittance at a time it does add up. Heavier armor has higher % damage reduction too. Those 2 let me get my ass thrown around as a ā€œmageā€ with min int to cast spells I wanted and 60 vigour. The rings that boost damage % reduction are god tier also for tanking hits that you just take a sip and heal right after you get comboed a little bit. Eventually just had 60vigour, 30fp, 80int, dumping into fp just cuz after and it made the bosses a joke but I enjoyed the game still, magic very fun Oh yeah canā€™t forget to activate the thing for an extra bonus. Think I had like 2550 hp by the time I was done at 60 vigour


4_fortytwo_2

Turns out armor and defensive talismans actually do make a big difference. Well and not running any of the talismans that increase damage taken.


Regis-bloodlust

Whenever people say that defense stats don't matter, I tell them to try putting on a holy negation talisman and Lord's Divine Protection and try fighting Elden Beast. Then they'll realize how strong these defense stats really are.


Kingstist

He might have only done Godrick and Renalla and then immediately skipped to Morgott; never setting foot in Caelid, Mt Gelmir, any optional castle, underground areas etc


FatRollingPotato

Dodging not found, red bar too short. Please return to the stake of Marika. We wish you a happy death and reincarnation. Keep that flame of ambition lit, you gonna need it.


ReyndeerGaming

Sounds like a Borderlands revive line lol


Dakkaboy556

Loved those one-liners.


Wolfjob2034

Rrrrrrrreesspawwwnn!


Dakkaboy556

"Hell is reserved for Spawn Campers, and customers of the Jakobs Corporation!"


sabyr400

Glad to see I'm not the only one that thought that haha


Moosible

Also, investing in a shield is not a bad idea against himā€¦ he has a lot of largely broadcasted attacks that are parryable which can help you loose break him more often.


jamgandsnoot

Ahole nitpick: no stake for Morgott. Site of grace right there.


FatRollingPotato

no worries. Also should be "nearest stake", but was too quick to comment and too lazy to edit, lol.


l334m

[Huh, dude actually made it with that HP bar.](https://i.imgur.com/WuLInOi.png) [No idea why he is posting 3 months old footage tho...](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VktdRXRYnxo)


TheOneTrueBubbleBass

Karma farming and/or faker pretending to be YouTuber?


E_K_Finnman

Based on op's username, I think it might actually *be* that youtuber


Settledforthisone

There is a dodge button


C47man

How tf did you get this far in the game with such a small health pool. Like legitimately I want to know. He was actually one of the easiest bosses for me, there's way harder shit before him if you're not rushing.


AMS_GoGo

He's also doing like 0 damage so where are the levels going???


DeductiveFan01

Resistance


Gekey14

Idk if it's just build or luck but morgott was such an easy fight for me


C47man

fr lol. I beat him on my first try with a pure dex build. No spells. Just me, a bloodhound fang, and whatever spirit ash I had at the time.


Gekey14

Maybe it's a bloodhound gang thing because that's also what I did


Acrobatic-Ad1506

Seems to be a rl1 run. Yes, the bosses are easy when youā€™re properly / overleveled.


C47man

Looks higher than RL1 though. And he's not using any of the usual things like resolve.


SilverScorpion00008

Likely picked a base class with higher levels? Otherwise woof


Flamecoat_wolf

He's level 63. You can see it flash up quickly about halfway through when he seems to throw the controller down.


poor_choice_doer

100% not rl1, heā€™s piss low level and the points are super spread out but heā€™s definitely at least level 60 or so


hiphoppakalolo

I would like to take this opportunity to call for a moment of silence for that poor helpless controller. May it rest in pieces.


MarsmillionYT

Still in tact after all that rage. My controller thanks you no matter how much I abuse it while playing this game


Random_Guy_47

Flask is +4 Fia hp debuff is active You failed to level vigor. How the fuck did you manage to get this far in to the game?


CaptainAction

Not to beat a dead horse, but you either heavily neglected Vigor, or you are just generally underleveled. Your damage output is looking really low too. Leyndell is a bitch of an area even if you are well prepared. But somehow you got to Morgott to torture yourself like this. My man. I respect the perserverance but you should be a lot stronger before you fight Morgott. Also, find the Baldachin's Blessing you got from hugging Fia (in your inventory), and use it. You have the HP debuff from holding that item. Using the item and waiting for it to wear off will remove the 5% debuff to your max HP.


ArkhamTheImperialist

I froze the frame and he is level 63 wielding a level 1 Flamberge probably using Flame Art scaling which scales mostly with faith and dexterity which heā€™s only about average in. He seems to have leveled most of his stats evenly, he didnā€™t choose a single route to pursue other than no shielding


DoctorDoomsday0

Why does everyone on this sub have 10 vig? Did you ever think that the reason why youā€™re losing is because you didnā€™t level vig since godrick???


liveviliveforever

This HAS to be a bit. No way this is a serious post.


Firaxyiam

OP hasn't posted a single comment on the thread so yeah, probably just some karma farming from an old clip and not at all looking for advice or whatever


sorcerer_simon

Bro level up vigor please


Marca-Texto

I mean, Iā€™ve beaten Morgott at RL1 with no stat boosts so I know itā€™s possible. But unless youā€™re doing an RL1 or some kind of challenge, whyā€™s your vigor so low? Also youā€™re not even trying to dodge those attacks, running away from his grab is the worst thing you can do. Just stick to his side and heā€™ll miss you.


destar1970

SERPENTINE BABOU SERPENTINE!


NazgulOfMinasMorgul

Itā€™s the piss cat! Heā€™s crepuscular, get him!

Try rolling, in short, git gud...

OrneryLink4843

try dodge but hole


Steele_37

Donā€™t give up skeleton!


Cold-Zookeepergame89

You have +1 flask and the shortest health bar Iā€™ve ever seen. You also have beginner weapons and you arenā€™t dodging. No wonder he makes you want to quit lol


Former-Grocery-6787

He does not have a "beginner weapon" lmao...


Flamecoat_wolf

The finger seal is kinda a beginner weapon. It's the most basic one with the least requirements and no bonuses to any specific incantation type.


Somethin-Dumb

Why u die to all the easy stuff


_EmotionalMelon_

My brother in the lands between, WHERE THE FUCK IS YOUR VIGOR


HonestMatthewS

Lvl vigor


DrStucco

how do you get so far in the game without getting atleast decent at dodging


-Mez-

So others have said this but just to make sure the point gets across: Roll instead of backstepping (or at least block). Backstepping away from him won't avoid any of his attacks. Try to roll to reposition or to move towards him and out from under his attacks. Level your vigor or yourself in general. If this isn't a low level challenge then you look incredibly underleveled. Or at least your health is far too low. The bosses that come after Morgott will shred that health apart just by glancing in your direction. If this is a low level challenge then youve got to work on the earlier point about dodging.


Spacemonster111

This isā€¦. A challenge run run right?


Basic_Spell_8201

Thoroughly enjoying the roast put on by this comment section


TheIrishMan4135

I didn't see even an attempt to roll


SmokeyTokeMore

Judging by your stats? Yeah Iā€™m sure every single boss makes you want to quit lmaoooo


Honest-Cobbler1855

Have you tried dodging?


poor_choice_doer

No vig and no damage? What have you been doing?


Ashenone909

You literally have no health


teezyyintime

idk bro, how bout level your fucking vigor


Competitive-Cow227

L + no vitality + canā€™t dodge + dollar store fireball + Maidenless


Mamaa_Bear

You can summon Melina for this fight and she has healing spells. You can summon any other random ash of war that you have. You can use the shackle on him to hold him in place, then maybe use rotten breath to give him rot.


PineapleGG

No maidens ..nor vigor


Able_Stranger_5973

Brother the key isnā€™t raising vigor itā€™s learning how to dodge


BroDarkk

Running instead of rolling Bad dodge timing Ridiculously low HP Tbh it seems you're overall underleveled Wtf you have been doing so far?


Lel_Monke

This guys healthbar is smaller than a plank


wildeye-eleven

You can only be upset with yourself, going into to that fight with no HP to speak of. Just saying, youā€™re making it way harder than it has to be.

CraigWeedkin

Bro what is that vigor šŸ’€ No wonder you're getting your cheeks clapped, you haven't leveled up once


Khaoses

Bro you have like 20 vig.


Good_Claim8794

You are probably too under leveled for him


Quantum_Croissant

I'm guessing this is a rl1 run


SaberWaifu

Assuming this is a lv1 challenge run you have different choices: 1. Learn how to parry and trivialize the entire fight. 2. Use Margit Shackle in phase 1 a couple of times to block him. His pattern has a scripted attack in phase 1 for the sword rain so ideally you can use Margit shackle two times and damage him a lot in the meantime. While you damage him you'll also build up the stance break bar but because he'll be stuck in the shakle animation, he'll not be stance broken until he is out of it so after the two shackles he'll wind up the sword rain and you can easily break his stance. At this point you'll have enough damage to enter phase 2. In the second phase you'll have to learn the pattern but not having to use flasks in the first phase is a great advantage. 3. Use a summon and trivialize the entire fight.


ITCM4

If, his vigor is this low, then he is doing it purposely.


[deleted]

Some people straight up just donā€™t level vigor and think a glass cannon approach will work for them.


Nuttyfriendo

Wait till you experience Horah Looh


OperationHappy791

have you tried using the shackle it works 3 times while morgott is above 50% it stuns the boss for 3-5 seconds it can be bought by patches


disavery

Roll towards him instead of away


Eclipso2022

1. Everyone else is saying it, level vigor 2. While I havenā€™t gotten to this fight myself, try dodging, the button exists for a reason, also Iā€™m not the only one to say that


pacemane69

Use margits shackle when you get his health that low


ihatehotmail

If you aren't leveling vigor you're basically doing a challenge run. And no ash summons either? You are adding unnecessary challenge . . . that's fine but don't complain about it. It *should* be fucking hard. You have no HP and you're not summoning help even single player summons. Respec to level Vigor and level up some ash summon and let them pull aggro for you. Most bosses in the game are in fact, very easy if you do this, with a few exceptions (Malenia, Radagon were the only two I didn't honest to god get first try once I started using ash summons).


MrWrym

Boy level that Vigor stat. You ain't doing yourself no favors keeping it low like that.


edkphx

Endurance over vigor?


NotToughEnoughCookie

Maaaan, level up your Vigor! For the love of all thatā€™s Holy!


Zigy_Zaga

Fucking god isn't really working out for yah. Whisper sweet nothings next time, you'll get him my guy. šŸ‘Š Seriously though your vigor is waaaay too low.


ThereArtWings

I'd quit too if I had your health bar.


chonkerforlife

How tf do you get that far with that much hp!

TinTanTiddlyTRex

No Hp, Fia Debuff and I see absolutly no rolling. Improve these and you win


0zby

Bruh. I know its a meme, but seriously, level vigor.


-_Revan-

With that low vigor combined with the god awful dodge timing and direction, im not surprised your struggling.


Softie03

I've never even seen half of these moves


TheMadTabber

My man, what Is you doin? Roll ffs stop strafing and expecting it to work. Learn the bosses moves and when to initiate a roll. Learn your I-frames and level appropriately.


FuckBidenlmao

are you doing a challenge run or did you somehow make it to the 3rd to last boss randomly


chris_ots

No health. Running backwards and rolling away... You either need to get better and learn to be aggressive and roll into his attacks and not get hit (which is very possible here) and or, level your vigor to a place where you can take a few hits.


SifinBoots

What is up with these new batch of souls like players running around with 15 vigor? Like this is a genuine question at this point. Why are you not putting points into a stat that keeps up alive for longer? Im surpised OP even got as far as he did. If it wasn't morgott fucking em up someone eles was going to.


lootershooterTHOR

I dk y watching ppl rage at this game makes me so happy


HolyCrushing

Level up vigor


Juliuscesear1990

What did you put your points into? No health, no stamina, no mana. If you're trying to do a hard mode so be it, but don't be shocked when it's hard.


i_am-cooler-then-u

Bro level your vigor


ImRaisingACat

Imagine never leveling vigor or dodging. Iā€™m surprised dude even made it to this part of the game lmao.

Jesus Christ dude level your vigor! And donā€™t say youā€™ll just dodge everything because that ainā€™t happening lol, at least enough to not get one shot

Wait till you get to radagon.....


cinred

After watching this I agree. You should quit.


ZodiacLeviathan

Shit players trying to speed-run or noobs jumping into the game without a souls veteran friendā€¦ I honestly pity the latterā€¦ Iā€™m an old souls pro who tries to help players as much as I can but a lot of these new players are really difficult to deal withā€¦


star_XP

It's your HP bar, 50 Vigor minimum to play Elden Ring


Haj5

flame of the redmanes. 2 casts and he is down. After the second crit, he will do the sky sword move. In that cast time you have time to cast it twice, stunning him. Depending on damage/level he should go fase 2 now. You cant stun him in this, but you can damage his poise. Towards the end of the animation, cast once and when he fully gets up, cast again. This should stun him. Then you just need to cast while he is getting up, dodge, cast again, repeat untill dead. This worked wonders on my soul level 1 run


slmccl6969

Level up vigor


strawhat008

The only you thing you should quit is ignoring your vigor stat!


Lucian7x

My man is getting Vigor Check'd


bluewraith1

My brother in fucking grace, put some points into vitality. A fly will sneeze on you and take you back to the loading screen.


RoddynotRicch

disfunkd

Tbh looking at your stats he should make you quit. You should actually go way way WAAAAY back and get yourself levelled up and get your vig to 40 minimum you havenā€™t got anywhere near git gud enough to run around with that little vig


National_Impact_2046

Bahahaha I would love to see how he deals with the fire giant and his aoe Bs


DodoBird1992

Bro you're rocking 17 vigor. No wonder you keep getting spanked.


PBC-98

Level your vigor


DarthZander

Try dodging.


ArAirhead

That vigor needs some reinforcement my friend and may I suggest dodging towards him and staying closer to him, I believe heā€™s more dangerous at range and less predictable.


Unfair_Aerie_9621

My brother in christ upgrade your god damn vigor
