I remember first coming across the boar in DS1, and thinking "oh god, its Buldrome with armor" and it was much to my missery. He wont leave me alone even when Im not playing Monster Hunter
Do not let the passive nature of the elden ring boars fool you. I was minding my own business admiring the scenery on the edge of a cliff and this mf rammed my ass bulfango style and pushed me off.
@@danialyousaf6456 IT Really must be lol son of a b, i mean son of a patches CAN'T resist the urge to push players off of cliffs it runs in their DNA😂😂😂
I didnt know you could parry the ds1 boar until like a week ago, thats something I love about this series. Im still learning new things after being obsessed for years.
I like to think that the elden ring actually happened first before darksoul/bloodborne timeline, so the boar look pretty "standard". If you choose say the flame ending or darkmoon ending, then it's either cinder devour the world or eldritch come crashing, and the boar must evolve to survive
@@draw2death421 Well, you are correct that the main body's design is more akin to a charging bull than a giant armored boar. My meaning was more in the sense of the ludo-mechanical legacy of 'giant quadruped monstrous analogy for a herbivorous european animal whose outside is slash resistant and that likes to charge at you a lot' that has been observed in From Soft before (which, in that vein I think would qualify the sacred bulls from sekiro as under the trend as well).
I will never forgive that my first time in Dark Souls, when i killed the absolute unit the Fang Boar was on the undead settlement, i wear his helmet my whole playthrough. Always a fang boar enjoyer
Without a doubt Bloodborne's scare me the most. Not even talking about fighting them, just visually and phonetically they terrify me. There's also this 1 traumatique childhood memory of mine where I witnessed a large pig get slaughtered on a farm once. Them screams bro
Also the first one in Yharnam you find, later ends up eating the child of Gascoigne, whichis fucked up and honestly I wish there were another outcome, even if it were also brutal, so I could save her from that horrific fate
@@spyrotikus Yeah, when I picked up the bloodied ribbon, I realized immediately who it belonged to. It's fucked up, but it's also why I love Bloodborne, it doesn't hold back
Ngl Forbidden forests end allways makes me nervous because i hear their loud footsteps yet its such a maze and covered in trees and bushes thats i cant see em! Im allways just worried one comes rushing at me when im not looking.
@@spyrotikusThere is. If you smash the Red Jewel Brooch, she'll ask you if you know anywhere she can go to wait for her mother. You can send her to Iosefka's Clinic if you've returned to speak with Impostor Iosefka, but... you can probably guess what becomes of her. Still, I find it preferable to her being eaten by a pig.
The interaction with the heir rune and the double pigs in Mergo's loft make for some of the best blood echo farming in the game. So I imagine many people have watched this animation more than 100 times.
Elden Ring has its DLC coming - perhaps Miyazaki and crew will reminisce of the boar’s glory days and subject us to the most roided, coked out boar yet. Maybe.
@@DrClock-il8ij Yea, but the meat would be tough. We keep pigs fat and with no exercise for a reason. I'm thinking the BB one has both quality and quantity.
There is also that one in a thousand non-hostile pig that spawns in the Royal Campsite in DS2 that some mad, MFer trained how to sniff out and dig up pickaxes instead of truffles.
So much nostalgia by listening to Ninja Blade's OST; Fromsoft's most obscure and underrated game. And my favorite "piggies" are the badass Armored Boar and the Nightmare Maneater Boar from Bloodborne with their creepy googly fish eyes
@@acetrigger1337i mean it's a bad game with tripping visuals and fights, idk I never imagined fighting infected choppers or a towering infected snail ever. And there a lot more stuff than these. That's exactly why I found it amazing
@@varunsvinu if I had a penny for every mediocre/bad hack n slash game made by a prestigious Japanese studio that includes fighting an infected helicopter, I'd have 2 pennies
LOVE me some boar content- the armored boar in ds1 also has an animation that plays if you get it with a plunging attack from the walkway above it! I only realized it recently, plunging attacks in particular feels like one of those underutilized mechanics that the devs really tried to create a lot of opportunities for in the early game.
Fromsoft know their stuff when it comes to pig enemies. Boars IRL are actually pretty big and can (and will 100%) throw down and kill you without much effort. It's a bit of a shame that despite looking the most phenomenal in Elden Ring they got downgraded to simple critters. Given that it's inspired by Viking myth, it'd be great if we got to see a Brass Boar boss enemy in Shadow of the Erd Tree or some other DLC in the future.
I just had a thought: it would be so cool if DS1's pigs had a special parry where you vault them and stab 'em in the butt while they're thrown off balance!
I have done nothing this past year except play Dark Souls 1 over and over again and I am now learning it’s possible to parry those little piggy boys. YOU SIR HAVE BLOWN MY MIND LIKE THE BOMBS THAT DROPPED ON CERTAIN JAPANESE CITIES.
Chosen Undead: That armored bastard Bearer of the Curse: NEVER BE NEAR TO THOSE PIGLETS, NEVER Hunter: I WILL ERASE THOSE BASTARDS IN ONE NIGHT Tarnished: *Grealing, while he and Melina are eating them* You want some?
Ds1 threat level: It's a threat. Ds2 threat level: (checks out well, then you hear little footsteps) "ABORT MISSION, I REPEAT, ABORT MISSION" Bloodborn: This is an avengers level threat. Elden Ring: They insulted the swinular bastard legacy, and I am hoping we get the demon boars we knew and feared in dlc.
The fact that the game where you can team up with the Dungeater to defile the entire world doesn't have any boar butt interactions in it just feels fundamentally flawed. Heh.
There is a joke here somewhere about Armored Boar 6 taking place at the end of the Age of Boar, where Board have devolved into smaller, hollowed versions of their once pride selves. But i can’t find it.
Dark Souls: *Armoured steroid beast* Dark Souls 2: "They call me mister PIIIIG AAAAAAAAHHH!" Bloodborne: 👁️👁️👁️👁️👁️👁️👁️👁️👁️👁️👁️👁️ Elden Ring: nuuuuuu plz get away from meeh 😣😢
In universe answer: it was used as a beast of war and so needed armour and big tusks to be effective against intruders. Real but boring answer: the devs wanted a cool armoured boar to fight
Demons Souls: Is the biggest dog shit! Dark Souls: That's why hes the goat!!!! THE GOAT! Dark Souls II: URRRWRWRWRWRW!!!!!!! Bloodborne: It was perfect, Perfect. Everything down to the last minute details Dark Souls III: Is the biggest dog shit! Elden Ring: I mean it's alright...
