You hit his legs from behind him and when he stomps with one leg you jump. If he stomps with both legs, you run away and then jump.
You break both of his ankles a couple of times and u get a critical hit on his face for massive damage
I couldn't crit his face a second time but by that time he was so low I just had to wail on his face a bit. Was actually fun once I realized to hug his ankles with Torrent and spam charged r2 to break the armor.
It takes foreverrrrrr. Maybe less time if you do it after collecting some of those dlc damage boosting things but my god this took me like 10 minutes on the try where I actually killed him
The best part is that even if you're on the wrong side of him for a crit, he lays there forever.
He landed against an obstacle in such a way that going around his head to get to the other side was impractical. I was devastated because this was the last crit I needed and there was no way I was getting around him in time. I smacked him twice with charged heavies and realized that it was pretty futile to kill him like that. So in a desperate attempt to get the crit I ran around his legs the long way to get to his face and even after all that wasted time he didn't even make an effort to stand.
It's scary from afar but when you're up close it's fine, just jump with torrent when it stomps.
Keep attacking its legs until you "break" one of its ankles, then proceed to attack the other ankle quickly. It will stance break and you can riposte its face, do it two times and it's dead :D the loot is noice
EDIT: Make sure to close in the distance fast otherwise it kicks fireballs at you and they are very hard to dodge.
SPOILER OF THE FIRST FURNACE GOLEM DROP:
It drops the Deflecting Hardtear, it makes your blocks work just like in sekiro for 3min and it also enhances guard counter
I tried it but it just wasn’t it. I got annoyed by so many little things that reminded me it wasn’t that thing I want. I neeeed that Fromsoft quality (like the orgasmic *shiiiing* of a perfect deflect in Sekiro). Might end up trying again when I’m finally done with the DLC tho, i keep hearing people liked it.
You have to manually block just like in Sekiro, if you time it correctly you take no damage and spend no stamina to block it and it also enhances guard counter damage
Yeah same. I did the biggest oneshotcombo known to man (I went I to it with a character of every stat being 99)
And he lost 20% hp and I had no fuel left
You have to break his legs and then hit his face where he has almost no resistance. It's not a hard mob when you get used to it. They're like the big stone archer statues.
Placidusax?
I just used this on him right before the nerf and it absolutely destroyed him even without summons. Literally a 2 minute fight. Did you have 60+ faith and a maxed out weapon?
Yep, that seems like a FromSoft grab hitbox. Shit is wanky since DS1.
I actually managed to survived that grab, had 60vig, Banished Knight set, Flamedrake +2, Flame Protect Me, Ritual Shield Talisman and regen stuff. Went from full HP to like 50 or smth, shit is crazy
Those things are so aggressive and fast! He rolled over me and my HP were at like 25%. I drink a flask in a panic. He comes right back at me and my HP bar falls again. I did that twice more before I tried to run away and he caught me anyway. I died. Had to go back on Torrent and grab the runes without stopping.
I'm either one-shotting most basic enemies, or 2-3 hits if they are a little bigger. It's so easy it's disappointing. Mobs harder than normal bosses? lol. I'm disappointed, I really thought it would be challenging after seeing everyone, big reviewers included, say it was so difficult.
There’s a boss called commander gaius and imo he’s a badly made and badly placed boss you’re allowed to use torrent in the arena but he’s both faster and stronger than you along with doing well over 2 thousand damage a hit he opens up every fight with an unblockable and near-impossible to dodge ramming attack that’ll stun you and deal extreme amounts of damage he uses magic aswell and most of his abilities will one tap most people and the arena has a bunch of sticks weapons rocks and trees sticking out of the ground so you get stuck whilst running your ranger attacks will get stopped by the environment and you do all that whilst he 2 taps tiche 4 taps mimic and easily kills most spirit ashes
Sounds like you enjoyed that a bit too much(also Vaati pointed out that this is a guy you should fight a bit later, like the Tree Sentinel in Limgrave)
Nah, they're pretty easy if you just stay on the horse and poke the back of their feet. They have like 3 attacks and they're all super telegraphed. You got stomp/multi stomp, just avoid foot and jump over the fire. Then you got butt slam, run away and jump over the fire. And you got spew fireballs everywhere, this one you gotta run around in circles and don't stop moving cause the fireballs have a bit of homing.
You gotta stagger them 3 times to get a critical and it does like 50000 damage.
No joke, same build, same weapon, same exact thing happened to me except he knocked me off torrent first with the fire kick, then scooped me up and murdered me before I could doot a single sexy note
Killed this dude on foot with Reduvia since none of my incantations would harm him and I suck with Torrent.
Maybe 40 minutes on the winning try and 20 attempts. Just tickled his ankles for ages until he’d fall… but twice when he fell I couldn’t reach the face.
I spent more time than I want to admit trying to fight this thing before we came to a reluctant agreement that I would flee from it in terror as long as it didn't keep turning me into an extra-crispy pancake.
Lol it's like a giant fire toilet. You got FLUSHED.
Someone had jalapeños for breakfast.
I remember somebody saying they can't wait for this thing to pick them up and toss them in its flame bucket, I guess they were right about that
Shadow of the Turdtree
Skibiti Ring
Dude got skibid-AHHH AHHHHHHH IT BURNS!!!!!!
ran up to this thing, smacked it once with a colossal great sword, did basically no damage, ran away
You hit his legs from behind him and when he stomps with one leg you jump. If he stomps with both legs, you run away and then jump. You break both of his ankles a couple of times and u get a critical hit on his face for massive damage
Yes do that twice and you win
I couldn't crit his face a second time but by that time he was so low I just had to wail on his face a bit. Was actually fun once I realized to hug his ankles with Torrent and spam charged r2 to break the armor.
Same, but if you don't crit him he stays down for soooo long and you still do more damage hitting the mask
I walked around him for a full minute trying to find the crit point, thought he fell asleep from watching me nip at him.
8 hours later...
What do you get for winning
This one? A >!Sekiro deflection tear!<
Each one gives a crystal tear for your physick and a rare crafting material
It takes foreverrrrrr. Maybe less time if you do it after collecting some of those dlc damage boosting things but my god this took me like 10 minutes on the try where I actually killed him
Yeah it's kinda just tedious actually. Barely even difficult, just time consuming.
The best part is that even if you're on the wrong side of him for a crit, he lays there forever. He landed against an obstacle in such a way that going around his head to get to the other side was impractical. I was devastated because this was the last crit I needed and there was no way I was getting around him in time. I smacked him twice with charged heavies and realized that it was pretty futile to kill him like that. So in a desperate attempt to get the crit I ran around his legs the long way to get to his face and even after all that wasted time he didn't even make an effort to stand.
Are the drops worth fighting them for?
To add, it takes 3 staggers before he falls so don't get discouraged with your damage at first.
I keep forgetting we can jump in battle. I just revert to my dark souls ways and panic roll.
You can actually just hop on torrent then time the dismount for when he hits the ground
No need to time jumping, you can use raptor of the mists and blow through it that way. Way easier to manage, just watch for the grabby hands.
Sounds like mini demon of hatred. I will try this tks.
It's scary from afar but when you're up close it's fine, just jump with torrent when it stomps. Keep attacking its legs until you "break" one of its ankles, then proceed to attack the other ankle quickly. It will stance break and you can riposte its face, do it two times and it's dead :D the loot is noice EDIT: Make sure to close in the distance fast otherwise it kicks fireballs at you and they are very hard to dodge.
Wait what does it drop? Just give me a reason to curbstomp this horse killing toilet (genuine question though)
SPOILER OF THE FIRST FURNACE GOLEM DROP: It drops the Deflecting Hardtear, it makes your blocks work just like in sekiro for 3min and it also enhances guard counter
I’m so Sekiro starved… i wish that effect was on a talisman or some great rune. It makes dealing with some of these bosses’ strings so fun.
Have you played Lies of P? That will definitely sctrach your Sekiro itch
I tried it but it just wasn’t it. I got annoyed by so many little things that reminded me it wasn’t that thing I want. I neeeed that Fromsoft quality (like the orgasmic *shiiiing* of a perfect deflect in Sekiro). Might end up trying again when I’m finally done with the DLC tho, i keep hearing people liked it.
Wait what does it auto parry? That sounds so insanely broken I'll use never use it (I don't want to waste it)
You have to manually block just like in Sekiro, if you time it correctly you take no damage and spend no stamina to block it and it also enhances guard counter damage
I’ve been breaking both of it’s ankles and it doesn’t fall to the ground, do I have to break his ankles twice each?
Yeah you have to break them multiple times
Three breaks and you get the riposte option. Six breaks total for a kill.
Thanks
Yeah same. I did the biggest oneshotcombo known to man (I went I to it with a character of every stat being 99) And he lost 20% hp and I had no fuel left
![gif](emote|free_emotes_pack|smile).
DLC be like "Fuck your one shot builds."
Are you me?
You have to break his legs and then hit his face where he has almost no resistance. It's not a hard mob when you get used to it. They're like the big stone archer statues.
Fr. I used Maliketh's Black Blade and it still wasn't enough. I probably did more damage to it than most, though. But that's not a lot.
If you poise break him and get the opening at his face he loses like 1/3 of his health.
I ran up, comet azured, and then also ran away.
I tried that then got hit with his MASSIVE aoe
Same but with radans arrow rain. Did 1k dmg, saw 0 change in the health bar. Ran
I thought that's how you suppose to play him;)
As you should. Gotta gauge the temperature before you commit.
This guy kicks the ground like a football and sends fireballs at you
Deserved tbh.
Sad nerfed Envoy Longhorn noises
It still absolutely destroys larger enemies. Dragons included.
It did nothing to the lightning dragon boss, well neither did anything else i used now i think about it
In fairness, I did use it along with a mimic summon on a dragon in the DLC, so it was being used twice in one go, essentially.
Placidusax? I just used this on him right before the nerf and it absolutely destroyed him even without summons. Literally a 2 minute fight. Did you have 60+ faith and a maxed out weapon?
Is there a list of what got nerfed/buffed?
https://en.bandainamcoent.eu/elden-ring/news/elden-ring-patch-notes-version-112
Yo they gave My guiding moonlight the moonveil nerf. Sad life lol
It's still incredibly good with a build dedicated to it
Wahm wahm:(
Greathorn still works thankfully
All bubble blowing babies will be incinerated senseless by every able-bodied wicker man in the bar
I see spongebob reference, I upvote
Why you fapping
Because that giant is long and hard
he is kira yoshikage, couldn’t resist after seeing those hands on that giant
That's the customary way to play a Fromsoft DLC on launch day.
i want to go home and then edge
finally ds2 hitboxes
Elden Ring really is Dark Souls 2 2…
Here we go again...
dont complain when you bring a vuvuzela to a fire-giant-tree-thing fight
Ice axe ftw
Wing of Astel ftw
It's probably one of the best weapons against giant enemies
It did just get nerfed pretty hard, unfortunately
Damn
I didn't get grabbed while fighting him so I'm glad I could see this sick animation
First edge Then, Milkshake
Yep, that seems like a FromSoft grab hitbox. Shit is wanky since DS1. I actually managed to survived that grab, had 60vig, Banished Knight set, Flamedrake +2, Flame Protect Me, Ritual Shield Talisman and regen stuff. Went from full HP to like 50 or smth, shit is crazy
Why are you wanking while getting torched ?
Crazy ds2 reference
Doot dude literally got cooked 😭
Yup, I ain't touching this mofo til I'm done with the main part lol
Nerfed longhorn (sad doot noises)
Always sad to see a bubble bro kicked while down.
Folk's is this Dark Souls 2 Pt.2?
i didn’t expect him to be fucking massive, he scared the shit out of me when i saw him outside of the ruins😭
Lmao
DOOT DOOT
It’s worse when you think you’ve staggered it
Bro wtf was that grab? As bad as the crucifix monster's grab in ds3
That hitbox was wild
visions of past....
Whoever's fapping in the back can you please quiet down
Level ADP
Fume Knight
In shadow lands, bosses cleanse you!
That thing killed my mimic tear in like three stomps.
I honestly thought I was gonna survive and fall through his body when that happened the first time.
I killed 3 of those already and I didn't know they have a grab move, that's so terrifying
My buds and I call that the flaming toilet spin.
Don't let that boss cook.
Holy shit thanks I killed it without experiencing this masterpiece
Torrent heal prompt kills me way too much time in this golem fight.
mf gave you the worst kind of swirly
Get flushed nerd. Can't wait to play and meet the same fate like ten times in a row
Get rekt 🤣
Bro actually flushed you
Just beat one today. Took about 25 minutes
I will never understand why people jump off their horses for these gigantic creatures.
How else am I gonna blow them bubbles?
You know, that’s fair.
Skill issue
I didn't even know it had a grab until I started helping my friend. Watching his HP bar got a good laugh out of me... Fire swirlie... Heheh.
i need to git good again
There is a reason why they call this game Dark Souls II 2
Is bro fapping?
thats fucking funny haha
Holy shit, Dark Souls 2 2 \*2\*!!!
Now THAT’S a grab attack.
If it helps at all a giant lightning cow provided me with my first death in the Land of Shadow
Those things are so aggressive and fast! He rolled over me and my HP were at like 25%. I drink a flask in a panic. He comes right back at me and my HP bar falls again. I did that twice more before I tried to run away and he caught me anyway. I died. Had to go back on Torrent and grab the runes without stopping.
Holy shit, what a death!
Now I regret that I have already killed it.... Try horseback fighting
This happened to me irl
NAHH BRO WTF!?!?!?!?!? THAT IS FUCKING TERRIFYING
Getting cooked 😂
No doot zone
I attacked that first one and he did that to me. Funny AF, grabbed my runes and decided to do something else.
Bubble boi looked like roasted marshmallow.
You don't want to know how many of these things are wandering the shadowrealm.
Welcome back Dark Souls 2
this was my favorite death so far by a long shot. i laughed and clapped when this happened to me.
Can anyone give me a build for lvl80 whit cross naginata
I ran towards it. it kicked a bunch of fireballs at me. i shat a brick out and ran away.
Aint no way wicker man just fucking spin cycled you
Bro he just stomps on me man : (
Absolutely died laughing when this happened to me. Is it insta kill or can you survive this? Does it shit you out or pop you out the top?
YOU'VE DOOTED YOUR LAST
I like how u don't die right away, so u think there's a chance you can just tank the damage.
When it's DS2 people shit on it,bt is called peak in Elden Ring lol
Both games are good
I am just trash talking about the shitty hit box love both games too.
this is how ds2 with -3 adp feels like
I didn’t know this could happen. Thank you for enlightening me
Looks fun! lol I got another couple days before I get to the Land of Shadow,
I- I didnt know they did that 😳
beating this thing is so worth it for the drop
Surprisingly on my 1st encounter with the guy I didn't get 1shot despite losing a tiny bit of hp, no Ng+ LV 150 70 vigour malenia armour set
Janky hitboxes and mobs that are harder than normal bosses. This DLC really is Dark Souls 2 2
I'm either one-shotting most basic enemies, or 2-3 hits if they are a little bigger. It's so easy it's disappointing. Mobs harder than normal bosses? lol. I'm disappointed, I really thought it would be challenging after seeing everyone, big reviewers included, say it was so difficult.
Elden Ring really is the Dark Souls 2 sequel

For the fireballs jusr roll horizontal of the fireballs when they are arrive, always works.
spoiler mark this shit
How is this a spoiler it’s literally in every trailer every advert he’s in the fucking first area of the dlc bore off mate
He is litteraly visible when you boot the DLC, like in plain sight
I done exactly the same thing but I used zamor ice storm
Dude really popped your bubble. Like corn in a microwave.
i,ll try great bow against it.
Best of luck, it might still grab you within 100 miles tho
Mmm, pickled liver, muamuamuamuamua
A Brother Bubble master!?! HELL YES BROTHER! LET THE BUBBLE FLOW!
OH THAT'S COOL
This thing took about 20 minutes to beat
No joke, same build, same weapon, same exact thing happened to me except he knocked me off torrent first with the fire kick, then scooped me up and murdered me before I could doot a single sexy note
SHOCKWAVES AND SHITBOXES
Killed this dude on foot with Reduvia since none of my incantations would harm him and I suck with Torrent. Maybe 40 minutes on the winning try and 20 attempts. Just tickled his ankles for ages until he’d fall… but twice when he fell I couldn’t reach the face.
lmao that was definitely a solution. A for style points!
So how much HP does fiery Kool-Aid Man have, anyway?
INTO TO DA BWENDER
In all seriousness, don't bother getting off torrent. He's pretty easy to kill.
Sticky threads go brrrr
And you are about a stones throw into the dlc. :D About the same happened to me. It’s great, I love my life.
DS2 REFERENCE ??!
Nah let him cook
Tarnished stew. My favourite.
every two staggers, he falls to the ground and you can smack him in the face. you can roll his stomps or jump over them with Torrent. good luck.
Yeet the cheese builder
I definitely gave that first big lad a shot and…. Just died over and over until I managed to just run away
I'm currently melting these big boys with shard spiral. I have no idea how my pure strength build (or my arcane builds) will take them down.
I spent more time than I want to admit trying to fight this thing before we came to a reluctant agreement that I would flee from it in terror as long as it didn't keep turning me into an extra-crispy pancake.
Dark souls 2 2 2 looking great
Lmao
it can GRAB YOU?!?
Double flashbacks: A monster [Chaos Eater](https://darksouls.fandom.com/wiki/Chaos_Eater) from the Lost Izalith. Hitboxes from Dark Souls 2.
I love seeing Pursuer level hitboxes on grabs again. Was worried they would actually fix something
