Margit: Another Tarnished? No matter. It's time to extinguish thy... Rakshasa: **hits him with one running attack** Margit: **on the ground coughing his lungs out**
And just my impression, or this sword of hers is a rivers of increased blood, I thank her for not having the same moveset as rivers of blood otherwise it would be hell to face her
My favorite part of doing these battles with the tarnished NPCs is that boss command grabs still work on them, which for people like Horah Loux that’s half his kit
@@mediatelunch1301 Even still, Rakshasa's armor increases incoming damage, so it pretty much counter-acts that defense buff. Maybe it's just disabled on the NPC version.
Her katana has a hidden special ability that is mentioned in its description. Hyper-Armor. It's the only great katana that has hyper armour on its light attacks and ash of war, an armor comparable to giant swords, you can attack straight through enemy's hits.
You can tell this Raksha has been edited, since her "empty flask animation is shorter that it should" 28:37 and that her scarlet rot immunity has been raised trough the roof. You just dont get away scott free from two scarlet aonias with one being point blank
Movies like this are pointless without Scadutree bonuses for main game bosses.... Any boss from SotE, can easily kill any boss from main game, when they have no Scadutree fragments attack and physical protection...
I mean, no, it's not pointless, you just don't care for it lol. Personally these are the only ones I enjoy because I want to see how weaker bosses fail against or some how defeat a stronger boss without changes. It gives perspective and can feel quite cathartic as well.
@@Chonk_enthusiest I think, it would be much better and enjoyable, if contestents would be same or almost same strenght. It would be like gladiators fights :)
Shadowtree Fragments are not programmable for bosses, what you can do is raise their NG+ state. I imagine a NG+4 base game boss is comparable to a NG DLC boss.
First off great video man. Secondly. To appease these Melania stans go ahead and buff everything with fragments. But any boss fighting Melania with equal scaling should also get infinite poise like she does. Otherwise she gets free health and damage that isn't available to her opponents. It isn't balanced even a little bit. Not when she has the hp and damage of higher tier bosses. You could even make her unable to be knocked over like all the rest of the bosses are. But allowing her to get buffed like that, should allow any boss going up against her the same unbreakable poise. That way all these Melania hounds can get the "fair" fight they want. As if her having heal on hit, infinite poise, hyperarmor attacks, evasion and rot weren't just absolutely busted on their own. 😂 Her infinite poise is just absolutely game breaking on its own without all her other busted stuff.
Is she highly resistant to rot or something? I swear malenia did her aeonia twice and rakshasa haven't been infected, also i didn't expect elden beast defeat her kudos to him and radagon
@@Count.Saruman I know that rakshasa has been knocked down quite a bit, but I swear she still took most of the first aeonia and a bit from a second one, and I'm pretty sure if it happened to any other npc he/she would have been infected
Whoever believes and is baptised will be saved; whoever does not believe will be condemned. Mark 16:16 For this is how God loved the world: he gave his only Son, so that everyone who believes in him may not perish but may have eternal life. John 3:16 To anyone who slaps you on one cheek, present the other cheek as well; to anyone who takes your cloak from you, do not refuse your tunic. Luke 6:29
Well it just her weapon that make her take more dmg Her armour in fact just have abysmal low defense even compared to clothing But none of them reach minus area which indicates make you receive more damage
Rakshasa's armor is just bad defensively for it's weight class, it has the resistances of light armor yet weighs almost as much as the Banished Knight set
I have never seen, in all the videos I watch of Elden Ring bosses, where Malenia actually just gets diffed through sheer willpower and battle prowess alone. Rakshasa does not fuck around! But when I faced them it felt like one of the easiest fights in the DLC. Only took me a few tries. Edit: If you look at the Fire Giant fight, Rakshasa made some really weird player like movement. Now I don't think a player would have this much HP, but then again I don't have a clue how that shit works. But that fight and Malenia's fight leads me to beleive that a player named their character Rakshasa, and therefore staged this, but why only lose to Elden Beast? Or is it to make it seem like it's an NPC or something? Idk what are your guys' thoughts.
To see who's stronger. Fights should NEVER be equally scaled. For example, the Malenia fight. After Rakshasa did away with Godfrey like that, I was legit wondering if her higher scaling would manage to beat Malenia's bullshit, the infinite stance, the Rot, the animation cancels, the lifesteal, etc. It made the fight interesting to watch. But if Malenia is equally scaled, she beats EVERYTHING by default, from any Soulsborne game. Because those mechanics are too busted. They can't beat her healing or her percentage DOT. So not scaling equally is the way to go.
Its still fun to see how old bosses battle the newer dlc bosses and see if some of The old bosses could still win, making them equally scaled is boring
What would be the point in that? Most of the smaller bosses in the DLC can beat the base game bosses because of the fragment system in their favour. Not to mention Rakshasa has one of the best armour and weapons of the DLC. So why even bother modifying the stats to have her win?
I think it’s because people think it’s unfair to have a dlc boss fight original bosses without scadutree blessings. Since it’s a dlc boss, they will be stronger than the original bosses.
@@Noggle03 I mean to be real there's no reason for that. Bare minimum not for Melania. She's absolutely busted for this stuff. Having functionally infinite poise makes her more deadly than any other boss period. That mechanic alone has won her so many fights its ludicrous. Her being able to take full advantage of others stance breaks and not be susceptible to it herself is usually a huge deciding factor as to whether she wins or not. I say if they want her scaled with fragments then she should lose infinite poise, that or everybody else should get it too.
“Maliketh stays embarrassing himself?” It’s not his fault, it’s the developers who made one of the strongest (if not the strongest) characters in the lore look like a joke by giving him not only mob stats but a laughable hitboxes as well. LOL
@@Toot7. True. Did you see him miss three attacks in a row while Rakshasa wasn't even dodging? That shit needs to be fixed. Bro can't even hit his enemies and still has negative poise and less health than Godrick in the only phase which matters. My guy deserves more. And now with the DLC out, they don't even have the excuse of needing him to be easy because he's a mandatory boss anymore, because so are Messmer and Radahn.
