How many Abyss Watchers can each Boss beat - Dark Souls 3 

The Midir result is ironic, considering the circumstance. The Wolnir fight reminded me of the Dothraki Charge scene in GoT against the wights, in that they didn't die, so much as they just sort of disappeared into the murk.

Definitely not infinite. 200 - 250 abyss watchers would kill him lol

@@Kevin-zz9du Clearly since they were able to do damage to it, SOME number of them could do it, but if the game crashes before you reach that number, and it can kill any below that threshold, it's effectively infinite.

@@Kevin-zz9du 200 to 250 Abyss Watchers would kill his computer first lol.

Where is the Wolnir fight? Did I miss something?

Even lorewise those two would have gang rivalry

@idespiseamajorityofhumancr8504 exactly 😆 I literally know all the lore I played this game all the time after my friend told me about it 3 years ago I'm level 387 I recently stopped playing it tho probably going to download it back now I studied the lore before i played it after my friend introduced me to it and I WAS HOOKED

i love telling people who’ve never played DS3 that there are two back-to-back main bosses that consist of a room full of guys just minding their own business until you walk in. it’s such a funny and bizarre boss design, and it’s interesting how radically different the fights are.

@Bluey2600 Yeah, it's awesome the Abyss Watchers fight was amazing and still remains one of my favorites, only beat by the nameless king

@@ThyFilthyCasual before i played ds3 in full, i’d played through elden ring and dark souls 1 (im a newer souls fan!) and when i fought the abyss watchers, they immediately became my favorite souls boss of all time! they ended up getting dethroned three times over in the same game by champion gundyr, soul of cinder, and gael, but i still absolutely adore them! great music and presentation, that iconic fighting style, the creative take on a multi-boss- i love it all! i also honestly really like deacons of the deep. it’s an extremely silly and fun fight, i like to pretend i’m playing dynasty warriors as i cleave through them by the dozen. it’s not too dynamic or challenging, but it’s a change of pace i always personally enjoy :)

he came back with a buddy, won the fight and then managed to beat the next boss by himself, the true dark souls experience.

They just watch man

​@@PunnyFuzzyeah cuz their name is the abyss watcher duh

Oh him? Thats Carl. Whispers: "he's a little *special* if you know what I mean. "

he got unlucky

They are powerful, just not durable as individuals

@@shem7146dont forget they are tehnically immortal, so no matter how many times you kill them they would still come back

Don't forget that they only deal 1/2 damage to NPCs for the sake of balance. They'd canonically be dealing twice the damage they are in this video.

Don’t forget their main power source the wolf blood dried up and these are just the husks of the uncoordinated legion (they have allies in the crystal sage and ghrus)

Don't forget that in every plim plim plom we had the more they could accordingly to the lore. So yeah

"we are but only watchers" ~ Abyss Watchers

i mean, they were placed to watch over it. midir was placed to eat it. i wish i could cure midir. dude's been relentlessly fulfilling his duty since forever

Who is the other abyss boss with mimir?

@@alessandroconti380 Maybe he means Manus? Since the Watchers are based off of Artorias, and he initially failed?

or Wolnir @@timelordacaelus5959

Only for the entire legion to lose to Wolnir, truly unfortunate

​@@Anthony-wf2cd how tf do you lose to Wolnir 😭😭😭

​@@davidcardozo290 A severe case of skill issue

@@Anthony-wf2cd kind of poetic considering he's the only other boss in ds3 that ties in with the abyss

All I heard was 🐎🐎🐎🐎🐎🐎🐎🐎🐎

Yeah, the occasional person getting flung out of the cloud was some Looney Tunes shit lmao

just blades, limbs, and torn clothing flying about

That 2 v 1 clash looked like an anime dude

On bro I known abyss watchers was goin win😂😂😂

Abyss watchers still winning in the rematch

The entire fight was canonically what happened like 10 minutes before the Ashen One showed up

I call it the Abyss Blender

Stun locking after great RNG really. Some bosses would've been able to keep going if they didn't use bad attacks

@@warlordjr.jr. crystal sage could probably have beaten twice as many if she had have picked good attacks

yeah, it's exactly like playing the game with a bunch of white phantoms

​@@sythrusYep, my boi Yhorm was cheated 😔

Poise breaks. Poise breaks are crucial.

Teamwork makes the dream work

And bad moves, the crystal line move from the sage absolutely obliterated them but was only used once as an opener

yes that's actually a normal dynamic with group fights, because damaging a group reduces it's damage output it tends to not be linear and have some sort of breaking point. Like, say you have a group of individual you can kill 5 per swing and each deal 1 damage per swing and you have 100 life. 5 => you one shot them hp 100/100 10 => you kill 5, lose 5, kill 5 hp 95/100 15 => kill 5, lose 10, kill 5, lose 5 hp 85/100 25 => kill 5, lose 20, kill 5, lose 15, kill 5, lose 10, kill 5, lose 5, kill 5 hp 50/100 34 => kill 5, lose 29, kill 5, lose 24, kill 5, lose, 19, kill 5, lose 14, kill 5, lose 9, kill 5 lose 4, kill 5 and you're left with 1/100 health So you need 35 of them to kill you. Now if we try with 40. Kill 5, lose 35, kill 5, lose 30, kill 5, lose 25, kill 5, lose 20 => you dead, and 20 of them are left. The effect is even more pronounced if you look at group vs group battle where both side lose effectiveness by taking damage. Like, having two group of archer fire at each other, a slight starting advantage can end up creating a massive difference. Like with a fight with 20 vs 25 archer where you need 5 archer shot to kill one archer. (rounding down to simplify, normally it'd be probabilistic) 20(4)/25(5) => 15(3)/21(4) => 11(2)/18(3) => 8(1)/16(3) => 5(1)/15(3) => 2(0)/14(2) => 0/14 You can change how you round or simulate it some other way you'll get different results but with similar idea, here a 5 unit starting advantage (+25%), ended up creating a 14 unit difference at the end. going from losing 20 units in the tie situation to losing only 11, almost half. That's also why getting the first strike matters a lot, by damaging the opponent before they can retaliate you also reduce the strength of the retaliation TL;DR group fights have different properties to how 1on1 with hp bar in videogames typically work and they snowball a lot more from minor changes.

They're only getting beat so fast because he's using the ads in the fight and not the actual boss. Both phases of the boss abyss watcher have around 1500 health. The ads on the other hand have less than 500

Make haste!

That would be a nightmare like dark crystal out of there

😂😂😂😂

I was going to say imagine being summoned and fight sixty watchers

I would've been like oh hell naw what the f-

It was so brutal

Gundyr's moveset is always nice to see. I always enjoy his fight.

Moveset wise he’s the best boss in dark souls 3 and probably the best boss in any souls game outside of sekiro

I was dead when I saw that. He freaking hit him OUT of the landing animation! Disrespectful af!

And the Ashen One was canonically the worst of the worst, the *VERY LAST SHOT* at preventing the end of the world.

The Ashen One is literally that thought experiment of a chimpanzee writing the hamlet when given infinite time with a typewriter

Ashen one is literally immortal, he has all the time in the world, and can kill anything with enough patience.

have you noticed how bold is the only survivor of the 18 bataillion, (44:46) dodging and walking through the dark flames and to a certain death, he died instantly but with class

That, also the same guy that got casual leg blisters on Greatwood while not even aiming for him or the absolute MVP who got clutch stuns on Yhorm and the Demon in Pain which secured the wins. That's the dude who went on to be the main boss we fight. What a legend.

I feel like Champion Gundyr was even more accurate

Old man getting repeatedly stabbed in a sacred place? Yes. Especially with the flaming sword and giant cloud of dust!

very smooth

They followed in the footsteps of Artorias

They do remind me of someone...

Yea… I can’t remember his name, eh, probally wasn’t very important

oh shit I wooshed it

mmmmm.... mmmmm..OH

Even the lore says that the Undead Legion could destroy entire countries if the Abyss threatened to spread there.

@@valentinvas6454 Yeah, High Lord Wolnir was effectively the emperor of Carthus (his crown is forged from fallen kings) and even he was defeated by the Abyss Watchers.

It was a legion, given the fact that they felled entire nations.

The Abyss Watchers are not the entire Undead Legion tho, you have the sorcerers, the un-named soldiers that became the Gru, the exiles and the Followers

​@@CresttheCrestfallenI always assumed the ghru were descendants of the abyssifies townspeople of Oolacile, considering where they're located (faron is Oolacile) and their similar horned heads.

I wanna see a gang war between the Abyss Watchers and Pontiff Knights.

That is of course besides Nameless King soloing 30 abyss watchers wow

They’re infected, too, so they’re basically popcorn for him to snack on.

True. That 1st opening swing he did against the Abyss Watchers the first 2 times probably would've worked a lot of the time. One shot, insta-wipe.

Typical stage dad…one thing goes wrong? Blame the kid, have a public freak out and get overwhelmed by criticism (swords).

Greatly helped by their attempt to fight someone locked outside the boss room by running at the wall. Couldn't have done it without that winning strategy.

@@NetherStrayI bet it was the hollow just outside the door.

You mean the ones where I set their speed to -1? Like the Fire Keeper spin video?

@@Pantagana yeah yeah that, it cracks me so hard seeing that sorta stuff. i always thought you were just escalating the numbers but I guess -1 makes sense for the game as well.

Yeah i agree! I picked up playing aswell. Need 3 more achievements and love to play this game. Damn, what a pearl it is!!

Are you the one that suggested the Havel Knight vs Bosses?

@@PantaganaI don’t know if I was the original suggester but I have on numerous videos. I love me some Havelin.

@@Pantagana it was me yeah :)

@@errorcringyname4044 That was a very good suggestion.

I think this is the secondary Abyss Watcher that spawns after the main boss and yeah those are very weak. Without any modding I've seen darkwraiths glitching into the boss room and even those can take these watchers down in a few hits.

Yes, they have 367 HP each. Only the main one (the one that the boss health bar belongs to) has 1548 HP.

​@@Pantaganaonly 367? Damm

LMAO

Morgott moment

During development he was slotted to be the final boss so we almost got your wish

That would have just been unnecessary suffering on our part, that thing takes barely any damage without the air attack

@@sythrusgood point. Probably would have also just ended up crashing

"THEY JUMPIN ME"
