The most epic is the bolt of Placidusax. It's the only boss attack in the game that causes the music to be silenced. Fitting, that a dragon lord should have the coolest attack.
Man, being limited to 10 sucks. So many amazing ones left out! Placidusax still has both his storm-dash combo, as well as his incredible dual-beam attack. The Fire Giant has a whole bunch. Malekith has at least two. Malenia also has her phantom-dash-combo attack. Mohg has several, but his NIHIL attack deserves special mention. Morgott has his rain of golden swords, and Lannseax has her lightning glaive attack. And, of course, Godfrey also has his "turn the arena into a golden volcano with his bare hands" attack.
Weirdly there are 2 versions of it. It's not very flashy or majestic majestic in comparison to her other 2. Also having 3 of her attacks being in a list of 10 would be over the top 😅
@@gillaliglaou2840 Yeah. She has everything that makes her endgame + modifiers. Heal on hit regardless of it doing damage, scarlet rot, phase 2, hp and damage at endgame level, and extremely high damage combos.
Great list! Another group of attacks I would like to see in this format are: - Maliketh's triple aerial slash and the follow up with the spinning slash. - Dragonkin soldier of Nokstella Ice lightning spear - Fortissax flying spinning slash - Deathrite bird Explosive ghostflame - Placidusax thundercloud form swipe followed by his double laser attack - Maliketh's destined death - Loretta's slash - Fire giant's eruption - Mohg's bloodboon ritual - Fully grown Fallingstar beast laser - Astel's zero gravity smash - Radahn's flying spinning attack
2:34 it's a real shame you didn't record this at low hp in this quality. He actually rips your torso open at the end of that move. It really adds some brutality and gore to that move.
My personal favorite attacks and moves: 1. Malenia's grab. I know it's annoying, but who else just fucking throws you in the air, impales you on their sword, and then FLINGS your body off their weapon? It's bad ass as hell. 2. Fire Giant's phase 2 intro attack where he leans back so far the back of his head almost touches the ground and the FORCE of the explosions coming from the mouth of the Fell God literally cause him to practically CONVULSE. Like... there's just so much power and force conveyed by his movements, it shows the pure energy behind what he's doing. It's jaw dropping and I love it so much. 3. Maliketh's flips. They're just so COOL. The man goes from using rocks and the ground to just deciding gravity doesn't affect him and FLYING from pillar to pillar. 4. Mohg. MOHG. Obviously the Nihil needs no explanation. But so many of his attacks I LOVE visually. How his hand literally DISAPPEARS when he reaches into the portal, to show he's quite literally reaching INTO THE FORMLESS MOTHER to pull blood. How, in phase two, every swing of the trident throws bloodflame. How he suddenly gains wings and then USES THEM to DIVE BOMB YOU. His fight is a spectacle and I adore it. 5. Radagon's grab attack. The man grabs you by the throat and bashes your head in with a hammer. That's got my fuckin respect right there. 6. Morgott's cartwheels are just fun 7. Morgott using his bloodflame. I love the detail of him running his hand across his blade to turn it red, how it physically shows he is slicing his fingers open to manually spread his blood over the blade. That detail is just so GOOD. 8. When Hoarah Loux goes for a kick and the man straight up just brings his knee to his own face. It's the most street fighter / mortal kombat bullshit I've ever seen and I LOVE it. This man is HUGE and yet somehow the standard limitations of anatomy hold no effect. Flexibility is a given. That man could do splits so far the only thing touching the ground would be his grundle. It's so fucking stupid and it's my favorite thing ever. 9. The grafted scion's moves!!! The kid uses his original arm to almost direct his attacks - if it thrusts its swords forward, it does so as the kid thrusts his original arm forward. I even noticed something I've never seen anyone mention - the scion actually moves two of its grafted limbs like LEGS. When it stands up on its hind limbs and does that sort of pose before thrusting forward, if you look carefully, you can see the actual kid has two forward limbs positioned like legs, and it makes it look like he's leaning sideways. It gives an air of uncanny valley because rather than this simply being the creature, it gives you a sense that this child is not controlling its own body as naturally as, say, the revenants move. The scion is still using its limp, original arm to telegraph its sword arms, and keeps trying to use two limbs like human legs. It gives you the sense that this is NOT natural, this creature is MADE and WRONG. I also love the scream the scions make, because it looks INVOLUNTARY. The scions LITERALLY back away from you and curl up, using THEIR ORIGINAL ARM TO COVER THEIR MOUTH before the scream seems to force itself out of them, forcing their arm away as they bellow. And then they COVER THEIR MOUTHS AGAIN. The whole moveset is based around a being trying to pilot a body that they still aren't used to, that they still can't fully control. It's FASCINATING. 10. Related to that, the movements of the Royal Revenants. Don't get me wrong - revenants are the worst enemy of the entire game and I hate them with my entire being. But they literally move like a horror movie ghost - that is to say, they JUMP. It's almost impossible to notice when fighting them, but if you watch a video showing their walk cycle, you'll notice that they actually jerk around in a way that almost looks like a GLITCH. Like the effect in movies where they cut out the movement in between, so a ghost's head just looks like it's rapidly spinning and thrashing but like it simply faces you, then faces away, with no in-between movement. The revenants movements are ALL literally IMPOSSIBLE. They just....snap around, jerk around in a way that feels like a video game moreso than anything else. And what's more disturbing is that, when fighting them? You only notice if you're LOOKING for it. It's obviously on purpose, it's deliberate and well crafted. But its something you feel should be obvious, and the worst part of those moves is knowing you didn't fucking notice. That you just...don't see that it's GLITCHING AT YOU INSTEAD OF MOVING. I also love the weird way they move their limbs to walk - much more obviously natural than the scions, and very fascinating.
Ultimate elden blast is so beautiful. You look up to see the elden beast flaunt its celestial beauty while being unaware of the shining doom you’re about to experience.
The team did an amazing job creating all the effects and particles that just bring these beautiful animations together! The Ultimate Elden Blast always leaves me at awe. Thanks for such a cinematic video highlighting these moves.
Godfrey/Hoarah Loux’s entire moveset would never fail to get me at the edge of my seat, especially during the 2nd Subphase where arena-wide stomp shockwaves are involved. Seeing just how powerful a tower of a man who isn’t even a demigod or a god and that he can cause seismic waves and rip apart the ground below him with his strength alone is just extremely thrilling. Another mention would be Maliketh’s Destined Death attack, when he does either the horizontal or vertical spin depending on what attack he does before and following it up with a flurry. Maliketh’s 2nd Phase is one of the most badass things I’ve ever came across in any game and I love it. My 2nd favourite Elden Ring boss behind Godfrey for a reason.
@@steelyphil4859 yeah, that fissure attack would always get me excited, especially when added with the arena-wide shockwave when he’s splitting the earth below him.
@@Xgenstudioz777 Personally I think Godfrey is a mortal. Iirc, the Demigods were Queen Marika’s/Radagon’s children and Godfrey’s clearly not among them since he’s the Queen’s consort. And Godfrey’s victory message isn’t “Demigod Felled” but “Legend Felled” instead. I’m pretty sure the description in Godrick’s rune could be an unintentional mistake.
Lansseax and Fortissax both have a variation of a pretty cool move where they stand in their back legs before laying destruction... Of course there are more than 10 pretty graphical amazing boss moves in the game.
BonfireVN, I always appreciate how much effort goes into how 'cinematic' you make each of your videos feel. Also, you absolutely nailed the Placidusax sequence. Thanks again for great content.
Love the addition of a tinnitus ear ringing for the Placidusax explosion. Manufacturing a deafening silence from such power without ACTUALLY making the player deaf.
For some reason I cried at Radahn's meteor. Something about the piano combined with Radahn gloriously flying with Leonard for the last time before you kill him.
I wholeheartedly agree. Dark Souls 3 has great boss figjts too, Sekiro has better combat system perhaps the best ever. But Elden Ring's bosses are definitely unforgettable annoying or not. Especially Maliketh, Malenia, Elden Beast.
None of these compare to Fortissax when he ascends to the bizarre looking sky, summons a lightning sword, and swoops down. Not sure if anyone ever got hit by that but I think that's the coolest looking boss move FromSoftware has ever done.
Love videos like this that show all the attacks in slow motion from different angles. This game has so much to showcase, that amazing clip of the crucible knight in the beginning is proof of that. Great video
Just wanted to add that some of the epic Boss attack, especially the ones that has a grab mechanic, even has an awesome finisher. Examples such as, Hoarah Loux's Power Bomb, where if it managed to depleted all of your health, he'll finished the attack by tearing your flesh with his bare hands. But of course, my all time favorite epic attack is from the God Devouring Serpent. If it managed to kill you with its grab, it just straight up swallow you whole instead of spitting you up.
@@whyareyouhere6274 No worries, we've always had that unusual brain farts once in a while. Besides, now that I read your username, that comment did gave me a chuckle. 😆
Astel Star of Darkness grab is the scariest shit ever especially the first time you see it. Even after Elden Ring i think Midir's laser still takes the cake personally.
Since other people are putting in their favorites I guess I will too: Morgott's Ultimate Combo (dagger into sword into hammer spin and slam combo) Fortissax's Double Lightning Spears and Spinning Lightning Glaive Malenia's Grab Attack Placidusax Teleporting Slashes Combo Godfrey Axe Throw Horah Loux Ground Pound (the rare normal attack, not the grab attack) Radahn's Starcaller Cry and gravity Corkscrew Crucible Knight Tail Swipe Godskin Apostle's Spinning Twinblade (phase 1 and phase 2) God Devouring Serpent's Grab Attack Death Animation Maliketh's Destined Death (Weapon Art of Maliketh's Blade) Mohg's Flying Spear Combos (2nd phase) That's the most that I can think of that I enjoy
It's a bit annoying to chase around the arena for sure, but I actually love the fight. Epic, majestic, and if you let it come to you, actually fun. And it's swinging a sword made from Radagon's body. Incredible.
You can imagine how terrifying must be a giant human warrior rushing in your direction with his bare hands?! Hoarah literally said “fuck off that axe, I don’t need ‘em to rip you off!!!”
nah there are so many more tbh, just look at all the comments. One that nobody seems to have mentioned is Regal Ancestor Spirit's moves - the roll and the jump on hindlegs. They're the right balance of majestic and goofy lol
When you're fighting you forget to notice the beauty of the bosses because you're too busy raging, this video really highlights how much care fromsoft put into all these bosses.
I'm in an appreciative mood and I just wanna compliment how well made this video was edited, it really captures the majesty of these animations with its skillfully timed slowmos and beautiful camera Angles. Even the little animation and font of the attack name fade-ins are tasteful and quality. Just overall on point, thank you for this solid content. 🙂👍
Awesome compilation! In case you do another one of these showcases, there are a couple I think deserve mentions even if they're not quite contenders for this top 10. While it gets overshadowed by her phase-defining attacks, Malenia's butterfly valkyrie attack as the Goddess of Rot is one that I find just utterly entrancing. Not only are the visuals amazing, but they seem to be spirits of her five daughters that you encounter through Sage Gowry - Mary, Maureen, Amy, Polyanna, & Millicent. That theme gets reinforced as their questline comes to an end en route to reach Malenia, typically with the four sisters' defeat and Millicent removing her needle and dying for the purpose of returning Malenia's free will to her rather than let the Rot Goddess twist her mother into its control. Thus, even after death, the Rot's representation of cyclical rebirth with the Lotus flower allowing the five of them to be called upon like echoes of their mother's true power, each with a slightly different technique as they all attack together. Another one is when Lichdragon Fortissax uses his sister's attack - Lansseax's Glaive. While his sister uses this attack, she does so fairly simply with the primal lightning crackling forwards from the slash, whereas Lichdragon Fortissax ascends into the sky and comes twisting down in a cascade of Primal Lightning that shows a dexterity & elegance to the combat prowess of an Ancient Dragon that's so massive and wracked by the decay of Deathblight that you can't help but wonder what he would have been like in his prime when he fought against Godwyn. This is an attack that stays in my mind rather prominently especially because of Placidusax's Ultimate Bolt, and how you see those echoed with the Dragonkin Soldier of Nokstella. When it's Ice Lightning powers erupt and its four wings unfurl, it ascends to the sky like Fortissax to throw its first bolt down like a simple Lightning Bolt but one that cascades like Lansseax's, then it drops to the ground and throws the second again cascading the attack forward like Lansseax, but making it more of a double attack like Fortissax's own double Primal Lightning strike - but then finally with the last of its power, it slams the final bolt down like Placidusax detonating only immediately around itself. After that, it continues to fight and when attacking with the ice lightning bolt, it throws it from near ground with the lightning cascading forward over the ground like Lansseax's Glaive, but then when attacking with just it's ice lightning claws, it ascends into the air to do the same full-body twisting slash attack with a rapid descent that Fortissax does when using Lansseax's Glaive. While the Dragonkin Soldiers' attacks are mere echoes of the Ancient Dragons' true power forged under a false night sky, that fight set me up to recognize those techniques when fighting Lansseax, Fortissax, & Placidusax later on in the game, and made the true versions of those techniques really stand out. Thanks as always for these videos showcasing such cool moments so beautifully!
rykard's use of takers flame is by far my favorite boss attack in the game. hes already cinematic af, so it fits him. i understand him healing mid fight from it even though you can as well would be a bit unfair, but i wish he did in all honesty also, 6:20 POV: you are a dinosaur
I love how not only is Placidusax's Bolt is insanely cool, it's also very well telegraphed, and actually encourages you to get in some free hits while you can.
I had no idea that I need in my life star scourge radahn from elden ring doing meteor crash with to the moon soundtrack playing in the background. Thank you. 6:18
I think my favourite attack in the whole game has to be Fortisax’s spinning lightning glaive. The way he takes on an almost human-like stance in the air, and comes down at you spinning a red blade. Not to mention, if your camera is focussed on him while dodging, your view is absolutely dominated by the spinning blade.
These kinds of videos are really cool, specially for people like me who can't play the game Would be nice to see more videos on bosses and enemy attacks, animations and sounds
Taker's Flames legitimately sent chills down my spine. I was like "oh s**t find cover find cover!" The music as well made it look all the more frightening.
The Elden Beast’s crucifixion attack is one of the coolest grabs in Souls
It's THE coolest grab in souls ngl
False king allant grab is cooler, it even decreases your character soul level in pure fashion
A shame you're not allowed to look at it partly cause it's almost offscreen and then all the panicked running.
For me it don't beat Hourah Loux powerbomb
@@juwe7143 It’s not even close to Owl’s stab and mikiri counter
I love that Elden Beast's Divine Punishment reveals just who exactly was responsible for Marika's broken state
oh my god you're right
Wow never noticed til now
Elaborate
@@kingkitty4893 The way you're crucified on a rune arc and first holy bolt pierces you in almost the exact same angle as Marika was pierced.
@@Squiddyize And that means? Who is responsible? Sorry the lore confuses me and I have heard many different opinions
The most epic is the bolt of Placidusax. It's the only boss attack in the game that causes the music to be silenced. Fitting, that a dragon lord should have the coolest attack.
Agreed, but Radhan also stops his music when he goes in the sky, after the gigantic meteor smash, he has a new theme that drops as he lands
@@felixcote1697 oh yeah! I forgot about that!!! I love Radahn. His fight was epic, my favorite in the game.
I think the ruin is better & has an apocalyptic vibe to it . If we could only aim it right.
He is a time-controlling dragon god, of course he has such an epic attack that even stops the music.
The AOE of the Elden beast is really underrated too
I personally really like the move where Radahn starts spinning through the air
@@alalmalal I think he’s referring to the gravity magic corkscrew attack.
We call it the Psycho Crusher
It was pretty rare to see, at least for me
it’s like stinger from dmc
he can do that? 😨
Man, being limited to 10 sucks. So many amazing ones left out! Placidusax still has both his storm-dash combo, as well as his incredible dual-beam attack. The Fire Giant has a whole bunch. Malekith has at least two. Malenia also has her phantom-dash-combo attack. Mohg has several, but his NIHIL attack deserves special mention. Morgott has his rain of golden swords, and Lannseax has her lightning glaive attack. And, of course, Godfrey also has his "turn the arena into a golden volcano with his bare hands" attack.
Slash animation from Soldier of Godrick also need to be in this list.
Also Radahn can fly into the air and turn into a violent spiral of gravity and death
Don't forget Fortissax jumping into the air, catching a bolt of lightning and spinning to the ground.
astel's meteorite rain
きっと続編が出ますよ
Morgott's whole moveset is a masterpiece.
100% agreed
morgott is parkure
truth! would love to see every move slowed like this!
I love that too!
now if he only wOULD STOP FUCKIN' DELAYING 'EM SO I PANIC ROLL-
7:00 I love the complete look of “welp I’m dead”
Im suprised the attack where Malenia summons multiple rot clones to attack you isnt here, its easily one of my favorites

Way better than waterfowl even in visuals. Waterfowl is just a standard Sekiro move haha
@@henazz2561 True. Hard to admire for 99% of playerbase due to rage inducement lol

@@rafsandomierz5313 Bruh... I saw the video, so yes I know that and how it works otherwise I would not be stating the alternative outcome. ._.
My personal favorite attacks and moves:
1. Malenia's grab. I know it's annoying, but who else just fucking throws you in the air, impales you on their sword, and then FLINGS your body off their weapon? It's bad ass as hell.
2.

Examples such as, Hoarah Loux's Power Bomb, where if it managed to depleted all of your health, he'll finished the attack by tearing your flesh with his bare hands. But of course, my all time favorite epic attack is from the God Devouring Serpent. If it managed to kill you with its grab, it just straight up swallow you whole instead of spitting you up.
Actually hoarah loux also rips your body if you die to the grab
@@whyareyouhere6274 Well, yeah. That's what I meant by depleted one's health and tearing of the flesh.
@@scottjameson5358 i have no idea what i was trying to say here, but yes, you're right
@@whyareyouhere6274 No worries, we've always had that unusual brain farts once in a while. Besides, now that I read your username, that comment did gave me a chuckle. 😆
@@scottjameson5358 should probably change it to "Why am i here" but i'm a lazy fuck, have a nice day scott
Astel Star of Darkness grab is the scariest shit ever especially the first time you see it. Even after Elden Ring i think Midir's laser still takes the cake personally.
Since other people are putting in their favorites I guess I will too:
Morgott's Ultimate Combo (dagger into sword into hammer spin and slam combo)
Fortissax's Double Lightning Spears and Spinning Lightning Glaive
Malenia's Grab Attack
Placidusax Teleporting Slashes Combo
Godfrey Axe Throw
Horah Loux Ground Pound (the rare normal attack, not the grab attack)
Radahn's Starcaller Cry and gravity Corkscrew
Crucible Knight Tail Swipe
Godskin Apostle's Spinning Twinblade (phase 1 and phase 2)
God Devouring Serpent's Grab Attack Death Animation
Maliketh's Destined Death (Weapon Art of Maliketh's Blade)
Mohg's Flying Spear Combos (2nd phase)
That's the most that I can think of that I enjoy
Stuff like this is why i can never call Elden Beast a bad boss. It's absolutely beautiful and a visual delight.
It's a bit annoying to chase around the arena for sure, but I actually love the fight. Epic, majestic, and if you let it come to you, actually fun.
And it's swinging a sword made from Radagon's body. Incredible.
Exactly what i always thought, i don't give a fuck about runnin this beautiful map with this beautiful soundtrack to slay such divine creature
So beautiful, you showed us another side of Elden Ring. Your editing is incredible!
6:30 hade me like "wait a second... i don't remember this part in To the Moon" XD
2:33.
The definition of fear
That Placidusax attack should have been made to 1 shot you regardless of HP. Yeah I said it.
Couldn't agree more
You can imagine how terrifying must be a giant human warrior rushing in your direction with his bare hands?! Hoarah literally said “fuck off that axe, I don’t need ‘em to rip you off!!!”
No Adula's Moonblade? Gonna need a part 2.
The editing in this is fantastic. Really showcases how insanely cool the attacks are, and all the little details the animators put in.
The only one I think this video is missing is the Placidusax double laser.
Agreed. And many more
Bit of an underrated one but i love Nialls dive stomp tbh haha
Fishnutz said it. Niall's stormfoot attacks are beautiful, especially the leap
nah there are so many more tbh, just look at all the comments. One that nobody seems to have mentioned is Regal Ancestor Spirit's moves - the roll and the jump on hindlegs. They're the right balance of majestic and goofy lol
@@RuthwikRao The 3 jumps in the air is amazing
rennala has some of the most beautiful attacks too
I love morgott’s crazy flurry combo in his 2nd phase, it looks cool but it also shows he’s getting desperate and is just throwing everything at you
When you're fighting you forget to notice the beauty of the bosses because you're too busy raging, this video really highlights how much care fromsoft put into all these bosses.
I'm in an appreciative mood and I just wanna compliment how well made this video was edited, it really captures the majesty of these animations with its skillfully timed slowmos and beautiful camera Angles. Even the little animation and font of the attack name fade-ins are tasteful and quality.
Just overall on point, thank you for this solid content. 🙂👍
The homing golden projectiles of the Erdtree Avatar, Loretta's Triple Mastery and Smarag's glinstone arrow are some splendid examples too.
Playing To the Moon's ending theme during Radahn's meteor crash was a nice touch.
When you put the tune of To The Moon during Radahn's attack, a tear ran down my cheek :')
That shot of Hoarah Loux jumping towards the player for the power bomb, was incredibly badass
Really cool to see all the attacks. Most of the time I'm rather busy running away in panic.
Awesome compilation! In case you do another one of these showcases, there are a couple I think deserve mentions even if they're not quite contenders for this top 10.
While it gets overshadowed by her phase-defining attacks, Malenia's butterfly valkyrie attack as the Goddess of Rot is one that I find just utterly entrancing. Not only are the visuals amazing, but they seem to be spirits of her five daughters that you encounter through Sage Gowry - Mary, Maureen, Amy, Polyanna, & Millicent.
That theme gets reinforced as their questline comes to an end en route to reach Malenia, typically with the four sisters' defeat and Millicent removing her needle and dying for the purpose of returning Malenia's free will to her rather than let the Rot Goddess twist her mother into its control. Thus, even after death, the Rot's representation of cyclical rebirth with the Lotus flower allowing the five of them to be called upon like echoes of their mother's true power, each with a slightly different technique as they all attack together.
Another one is when Lichdragon Fortissax uses his sister's attack - Lansseax's Glaive. While his sister uses this attack, she does so fairly simply with the primal lightning crackling forwards from the slash, whereas Lichdragon Fortissax ascends into the sky and comes twisting down in a cascade of Primal Lightning that shows a dexterity & elegance to the combat prowess of an Ancient Dragon that's so massive and wracked by the decay of Deathblight that you can't help but wonder what he would have been like in his prime when he fought against Godwyn. This is an attack that stays in my mind rather prominently especially because of Placidusax's Ultimate Bolt, and how you see those echoed with the Dragonkin Soldier of Nokstella.
When it's Ice Lightning powers erupt and its four wings unfurl, it ascends to the sky like Fortissax to throw its first bolt down like a simple Lightning Bolt but one that cascades like Lansseax's, then it drops to the ground and throws the second again cascading the attack forward like Lansseax, but making it more of a double attack like Fortissax's own double Primal Lightning strike - but then finally with the last of its power, it slams the final bolt down like Placidusax detonating only immediately around itself.
After that, it continues to fight and when attacking with the ice lightning bolt, it throws it from near ground with the lightning cascading forward over the ground like Lansseax's Glaive, but then when attacking with just it's ice lightning claws, it ascends into the air to do the same full-body twisting slash attack with a rapid descent that Fortissax does when using Lansseax's Glaive.
While the Dragonkin Soldiers' attacks are mere echoes of the Ancient Dragons' true power forged under a false night sky, that fight set me up to recognize those techniques when fighting Lansseax, Fortissax, & Placidusax later on in the game, and made the true versions of those techniques really stand out.
Thanks as always for these videos showcasing such cool moments so beautifully!
This has to be one of the coolest elden ring vids I've ever seen
Everyone else: Awesome, picturesque attacks
Hourah loux: G R A B
I think Godrick’s dragon fire tornado stomp into the rolling aerial axe smash is the coolest.
The last one makes me thinking in the greatness of how could be the Olympic Games inauguration ceremony in the Lands Between...
That radahn scene with to the moon ost hit hard
All of these attacks are visually amazing, but the editing is bloody amazing. Well done mate.
Lmao the cinematography on meteor crash was funny and epic at the same time, well done!
This was amazingly done! Every second put a smile on my face, I hope to see more of these!
rykard's use of takers flame is by far my favorite boss attack in the game.
hes already cinematic af, so it fits him.
i understand him healing mid fight from it even though you can as well
would be a bit unfair, but i wish he did in all honesty
also, 6:20 POV: you are a dinosaur
0:13 "I'm most annoying crap in this game and you will hate it" the attack
Thank you for this, while playing the game and trying to quick react and evade boss attacks you can't appreciate the beauty of boss fights.
6:37 for just a dollar a day, you two can help their poor frog head players beat Radahn...
5:48 this shot gives an epic cinematic
I love how not only is Placidusax's Bolt is insanely cool, it's also very well telegraphed, and actually encourages you to get in some free hits while you can.
the music during elden beast bossfight gets me every time. masterpiece
When Placi smashes that lightning bolt into the ground and causes a massive nuke like explosion. That's my favorite attack
Love that slow motion. Really makes you appreciate the animations.
I had no idea that I need in my life star scourge radahn from elden ring doing meteor crash with to the moon soundtrack playing in the background.
Thank you. 6:18
I think my favourite attack in the whole game has to be Fortisax’s spinning lightning glaive. The way he takes on an almost human-like stance in the air, and comes down at you spinning a red blade. Not to mention, if your camera is focussed on him while dodging, your view is absolutely dominated by the spinning blade.
0:52 Okay, I've NEVER seen the Astrals do *that* attack before. How the what the holy heck?!
The camera work for seeing these attacks is....golden
This is the kind of video I was looking for when I searched "epic elden ring moments" on YT.
Meteor Crash was pure comedy. Well done
These kinds of videos are really cool, specially for people like me who can't play the game
Would be nice to see more videos on bosses and enemy attacks, animations and sounds
Bro this video deserves more love Istg it’s really good
It's crazy. You spend so much time desperately avoiding these attacks, that you don't fully appreciate how cool they look.
Taker's Flames legitimately sent chills down my spine. I was like "oh s**t find cover find cover!" The music as well made it look all the more frightening.
That astel grab one scared the shit out of me
6:16 So calming music for so deadly and fast attack, you're the best))))
Plenty of boss moves worth mentioning, but at least I got to see Placidusax's nuke in the list.
Chills everywhere during all the video. This is pure art.
When "For River" started to play, you got my like and my subscription!
4:30 I didn't know his attack creates the Elden Ring pattern! wow!
6:09 the To The Moon OST caught me so off-guard
seeing those animations in slow mode was so satisfying, definetly do another list like this
I like how he just edit the most chill theme possible into a freaking meteorite
Lmao the piano cutting out was amazing
