Can ANY Boss Survive Caelid's Laser Golem? - Elden Ring 

To make someone rage quit probably 😂😂

Honestly it feels like its something a dev played around with for shits and giggles that they decided to tuck away in a remote corner for the lulz.

@@BjornTheBear I can believe it lmao

where is this Guy even, never Seen hin

@@fritzbox666 You know where the bridge with the Bloodhound Step-dropping Night Cavalry is? There’s a big magic tower there, right? Overlooking it is a big cliff/plateau and down one of the sides of it is a hidden jumping puzzle and this dude is at the very bottom of it.

Dude wasn't the first elden lord for nothing

That's basically why Marika married him. She tied the knot then sicked him on the storm lord, all but one of the giants, and anyone else who looked at her funny

The way that gigachad leapt over the Golem’s attack and then cucked almost every attempt for it to use its broken instant-win move made him a hero to me.

@@iparizotto Placidusax brother Placidusax. I will grant he was the first Elden lord of his age though RIGHTFULLY so.

That moment alone provided so much catharsis, fuck this golem so much

honestly caelid is the worst place possible to go

No its not, its the subterranean shunning grounds cuz of the imps and revenants ;-;

What about the mohgwyn palace I think I spelt that right

That’s not how you say The Haligtree

​@@sl33pyRanze and those f'in shrimps

That's what happens when you get in close to a bow build.

That was the most "he's definitely dead, aaaaand nevermind."

Would've liked to see the dive damage.

He had high ground too 🤣

So satisfying to see that ngl

And to top it off, it made some INSANE damage on the golem lmao

Godfrey just folded it like a damn origami

He folded that boy ass

That was a WTF moment

And yet no other grabs worked

Well gollum is a very frail hobbit, i think Godfrey would have no problem tying a knot with his spine

Not gonna lie. That Godfrey bomb was sick as f*ck

Thay was literaly cartoon grab attack

​@@Hexacosichoron12 I think Bjorn is a little biased in this regard. He never allows any other grab attack, but always allows Hoarah Loux's.

He needs naps okay

@@DeadpoolX9 my boi gets tired

Considering the number of bosses he gives a 5 second nap to with his opening overhead swing and the permanent dirtnaps after, I think it balances out.

I feel a little but bad for him every time he gets poise broken. His stand-up animation just looks so determined. “Get back up, man! Get back up!”

It doesn't matter how many times you fall, what matters is to get back up after each one.

5 times*

And made of metal.

Can confirm.

😂

Aka granddad vs stinkmeiner nigga moment

I instantly knew I had to watch it at 2x speed. It still looked slow.

I died laughing when I saw him celebrating

He cheated though. The Golem shouldn't have healed to full after beating Radagon because it's the same fight.

@@billybegood466 let him have this.

​@@billybegood466 well elden beast cheats by having radagon as an entire first phase. It's not even the same entity, hard to consider it the same boss

"When you become Elden Golem" was so funny XD

Close one

The matrix dodge by Astel was beautiful! It looked staged, it was just perfect timing to dodge the swipe. That was my favorite fight because of how close it was.

there is something fascinating about Kaiju-scale battles :D

technically he's right next to a painter, but yeah astounding

I wanted that ash of war so bad...

I feel like the upcoming dlc will add a bunch of AOWs that already in the base game but the devs didnt have time to balance or fixing all the issues with them yet.

Where do you find this golem?

​@@smol-shogun4722 The painter place in caelid

I choked on my own spit reading this lol you get a like

I saw that and thought the Golem was popping off

Golems tbag

Elden beast got it worse tho, that golem started dancing when it basically became Elden lord

The golem must despise all things golden.

"Bah god hes pulling out the laser orbs" - commentator

Every time he got knocked down, I was like "okay, now just stand up and laser!" It was very satisfying when it happened.

Oh god no, dancer 2.0. We dont need a spinning laser golem since from would likely make a laser beyblade. Gg

@@dexter_yours_truly yes we do, Dancer is a great fight

@@negative6442 it really wasnt

@@mosthole that's just like, your opinion, man

Please just stop giving them ideas; of course, the dancer was a great fight, but I'm tired of spinny moves and unapproachable attacks

Elden Beast.

@@urtoryu_dy_althraidn he did it twice goof

I said he did it to point to his next victim the lasers track down the enemy’s

@John Wick Aint you dead

They were headed to his maker coz that's where he sent him

I’d say the bonk is a pretty damn good attack considering the reach it has.

He basically is an anime character

Ikr

My thoughts as well. Just one more of the volley attack is probably all it would have taken

Astel would win as well if just kept his distance

They started the golem about 40 feet forward as well it was kinda jank

Radahn would have been fine if he just didn’t tank 100% of the damage from the lasers

Never thought about it like that. That is scary.

If we go back in time for the DLC, I hope we fight a Gollem in its prime.

@@enterusername6953 bruh y'all are getting mad annoying with this DLC and fighting bosses in prime condition. It's not gonna happen ffs.

@@592Johno thank you so much fromsoftware representative Jay Starr

​@@592Johno dude, chill, let people speculate,

I've never seen that animation getting interrupted before, that's fun

Just a visual demonstration of the Polearm Master feat coupled with the Sentinel feat at work. Classic combo~ DnD humor aside, that was epic as all hell!

​@@badwulffI've interrupted it with Loretta's arrows and Kamehameha

he was like, "nah bitch, where tf you going?" XD

@@badwulff same, never seen an interrupt didn’t know it was possible. Wonder if there’s a way for a player to do that, maybe an OP’d comet azure at the start of the animation

Might have had an easier time with Gideon cause it's coded to fight players and he functionally the same as a (very dumb) player

@@tapmcshoe9677 That's probably true. His wide sweeping attacks came up about player distance short from the larger bosses.

i was crying when this happened

​@@tapmcshoe9677 Is right. By the end it was pretty clear who he would and wouldn't win against. The lasers in particular gave it away, always being aimed at a specific spot on a bosses body showed just how hardcoded this guy was to fighting players. He was missing constantly not just that fight but to a lesser extent others when the bosses "core" wasn't on ground level. It really came down to whether he spammed the lasers or not for the majority of the latter bosses, if he did then he won, if he didn't then he didn't. The only outlier being Malenia because despite being roughly (ROUGHLY) player shaped she simply had too much maneuverability, especially spamming Waterfowl Dance. *TL'DR* - These matches really give good insight into how the enemy combat and pathing works and often shows how regular enemies were always specifically coded to fight players and nothing else.

Maliketh took off the robe and was like "Cowabunga it is then"

When we swapped phase, he said "call an ambulance, but not for me"

“I give to you your right: destined death”

I had never seen that happen before, it was pretty awesome

I didn't even know it was possible to interrupt that move.

It is rarely possible for players since players usually don't have a move that does that much poise dmg while also having that much reach.

Right??

When

A rare case of someone putting his words into action: 'A tarnished can never become Elden Lord, I know it in my bones!'

same with godrick, they both get folded.

atleast gideon lasted longer then morgott radahan and malikeith

@@Derpalypse maliketh won tho

@@depressingcow9767 he wins cus of bs status effect

The power of %hp damage baby.

yep

Higher the HP of his opponent, the more damage he does

It’s called destined death for a reason.

@@catman9222 league of legends devs taking notes to give yet another % health passive

💪

He picks up and body slams a towering stone golem like a teddy bear and he does it by juicing

he folded it like a pretzel and did TEN THOUSAND DAMAGE!!! this guy is insane!!!

Big Sabin energy

@@MrEvan312 he just eats liver

Except a portrait reward for a good ash of war.

Sometimes the fight is the reward i guess

I thought it was how you got to radahn for the longest time

@@gigas115 I wouldn't consider Rain of Arrows "good"

​​@@front1ersax574 it's good against big enemies for breaking poise. You would probably need to be a bow build for it to be actually effective though

Maliketh showing us that even if you can 1tap his poise he does not care

​@@sibren9874 My dude canonically fought an army of Godskin Duos and didn't get hit once. If you manage to knock him down you better finish him because that's the only chance you'll get.

Astel fight was great. Also really glad they used the Star of Darkness instead of the Naturalborn since it made for a much more interesting fight.

In every play through I do (aside from the first few months after the game came out when players always had their gold signs laying around) I always have to make sure I progress Alexander the Jar's questline enough to where you can summon him for help with the Fire Giant, otherwise even with mimic tear i usually get effed by the Fire Giant.

It was an entertaining kaiju fight though

have you tried using spirit ash summons lol

​@@PureYang0 Da fuq? I beat him on first run with random summon, no armour on 1st try. On NG+ no summon and no armour, but I think I died like twice. I hear lot of people saying he is hard, but for me the hard ones were Maliketh, Malenia and Elden Beast.

AI? I have not played the game, but based on this video no AI was used for those bosses. I mean any form of intelligence would try to move out of the lasers. All I saw seemed to be scripted patterns that don't react much to its surroundings. I got the impression that the bosses in mortal combat 1 on the sega megadrive had better AI.

*bonk*

Looked cool, but felt off. The golem was definitely not swinging right, think the ai was very confused

AGREED!

​@@direkitsune in canon the golem wasn't programmed well for things larger than itself.

The fly swatter move 😂

Seriously was hoping for that, but all I got was a regular halberd. So disappointing

if radahn spammed that in his actual fight i would’ve broken my console and skull

@@themanbeanz1754 same honestly lmao

@@themanbeanz1754, same

If Golem just spammed laser, he'd do the same I think.

radhan was doing so well too

Lol at tray giant I'm gonna call him that now. Either that or plate giant. Also yeah Godfrey is probably the toughest mf in the lore that isn't a literal god.

Lmfao the giant with the tray

Fire Giant is one of the most busted fighters. AI almost never properly measures distance to attack him

​@@slavchansidorov32 yeah, the Golem is programmed to fight ankle-biters like the player. It can manage larger foes, even things its own size, but *bigger?* Nah fam. That, in combination with Fire Giant's enormous health pool and poise practically guaranteed a E for the Giant. Still, bringing it to second phase was impressive.

​@@GHOST-cs5gz Yeah excuse me that's obviously his dinner plate

Imagine, if you, will a laser golem with med load dodge rolling.

Wdym

@@the_ok_hyena4705 That Golem is hidden on a cliff right next to Radahn's arena

Underrated comment

@@k1t5un3 this

Yeah, that "get back down here, I'm not done with ya yet" move was sweet

*When you become Elden Golem*

And taunted at the end of the fight

If EB had got that last ring attack it could well have won

Sucks that golem went full hp on transition EB would have won

Damn it! He was so close! But he'll get'em next time

Yeah! Next time I'm sure he'll win, won't even go to phase two

😂

He did pretty well this time. I mean that one hit he landed to the big metal boi's shin was really epic.

😂

he scream

he tried to at the very end, but the wind up for it was a little too long

He uses his laser move at like 10% hp only, so its a stretch for him to survive long enough to use it

Just like a few other bosses, Placi has to go through a few animations/attacks that activate after certain health thresholds before he can use lasers. Two teleport slams and be below 50% I think

These folk are right. The full animation starts with the second meteor attack, then the 3 red lightning bolts, then the laser. He is supposed to be facing you tho so I believe it would have shot in the wrong direction anyway

They are, you can hear the crit sound when malenia grabs you.

The golem is also coded to attack a player-sized target. The fire giant battle would have been much cooler if he wasn't.

​@@LrdOfTheBlingsactual fire-giants shield bash?

And also the fact that bosses don't take advantage of stance break. I know it shows up in most of these boss vs boss videos, but the golems are really screwy if you don't use the stun critical hit.

Was looking for this, I thought "Wow this is going to be good!"

he doesnt dodge it tho

i have given thee curtesy enough

Also he did 10k damage with that slam. Does that slam do damage based on max HP? Because I don't remember getting one shot by that. Close but no where near 10k.

@@SSmitar its a percentage of max health i believe could be wrong tho

Tbf waterfowl is basically phase 1.5

@@bg357wg 🙃

​@@bg357wgdont forget the stupid health-steal on all the attacks. Also, maliketh phase 2 doesn't give him full health. I really wish somebody mod maliketh to be in his real form throughout the fight.

Yeah, just shows how absolutely busted her heal on hit and waterfowl dance are. 6k dmg in one move and immediately back to full health.

To be fair Godfrey didn't really need to be in phase 2, if he'd stunned the golem out of the lasers he would've finished in phase 1 just fine.

Black flame sorceries do percent max health damage. They absolutely wreck high HP dudes like this.

Ikr I was expecting a floor wipe

the creatures that rely on high defense and hp usually lose to black flame and destined death

@@shemsuhor8763 That was the bigger Astel. Stars of Darkness is the consecrated snowfields one, Naturalborn is Ranni's one.

@@Dooms1ayer The smaller arena does very much ruin Astel's bossfight. Without the incessant teleporting and meteor spam you're only fighting half an Astel imo. This isn't the Astel people think of when they think of the Astel fight, it's the cheap reuse they put at the end of the game for many people. I think the bigger arena would have worked massively in Astel's favor.

Godrick barely registered anything 😂

poor man got swatted like a fly

Golem just went there and BONK him on the second phase

Lol right

Well I cannot take this thing seriously until I am shown its location, been all over Calid and never found it. And I mean literally everywhere.

​@@xanthiusdrake2775 go to Fort Faroth (however you spell it), head north to the Minor Erdtree, then east to the cliffs where you can look into Rhadan's arena, you'll find him on a tiny platform halfway down

@@xanthiusdrake2775 It only means that you've never found ash of war "Radahn's rain". The golem is in the same location as the painting, that gives you this AoW as a reward. Watch this guide for example: watch?v=gRojH0Wa1eM

​@@xanthiusdrake2775 It's off the side of a cliff, that's why you'll never find it. It's a location depicted in one of the paintings The instructions online are also dogshit

@@Spiker985Studios Figures. Some stuff people try to give directions to are just plain stupid.

She's the third boss

Ye, if she had a bit more health she probs would've won, or if the golem just didn't have that ridiculous amount of health comparable to the fire giant lmao

She?

Because she has healing bullshit

beat her first time in with blasphemous blade and bolt of gransax.. not bragging at all, but the weapon combo i used didn't allow her to get close

@@LukeNukem82 I hope your L2 button survived

@@AnonJuggerbot what’s the l2 button do? I’m playing with mouse and keyboard

​@Kuhekin ash of war, Blasphemous blade and bolt of gransax both have very strong ash of wars that have ridiculous range. Spam them and malenia can't get near you
