The Bloodfiend Arm with blood infusion has so much bleed up(190 with40 arcane) lol. 2 hits for bleed with every enemy. Also a colossal and staggers like crazy with Royal Knight's Resolve.

You low key spoiled me by mentioning Radahn, who is most definitely the final boss.

I say low key cause I suspected that I would fight Radahn in Mogh's body judging from the Shadow Keep NPCs ,and eveyone else saying "Final Boss" as if the name would be a major spoiler(and others saying disappointing). This was just confirmation.

This is mine so far:

Bayle: GOATED

The Consort: Brutally hard but an excellent challenge, has some lore issues but still stellar. I haven’t beaten this one yet. Phase 2 seems impossible to me right now.

Messmer: Was frustrating to learn but fun once I mastered him.

The rot bug thing that is so forgettable I forgot her name (Googled, Romina)

Rellana: Absolutely broken, needs a nerf

It's cool. Here's my list for the ones I've encountered so far
1. Bayle. CURSE YOU!!! Igon alone makes this fight special.

2. Messmer. Love the atmosphere

3. Guardian Lion.

4. Pubescent Knight. Fuck this thing. Stop attacking already.

5. Rellana. Only fought her twice and crushed her lol

6. Romina. Just a giant bug and immediately forgot about her.

7. Gaius. Just trash and not fun at all
 
So right now i‘m going through the Abyssal Woods ,went down there kinda Spoiler Free i know the boss but nothing more ,so i didn‘t know what to expect .
I mean the whole Atmosphere is real scary .
Fromsoft made an good job with there messages .
Don‘t Let It See you….
If it see‘s you it‘s to late…
They can‘t be touched …..

Or the Fact that your Torrent is to scared to be even there.

I was sitting on nails cause i didn‘t know what i would encounter .
When i saw the first "Madness Basketball Head" ,i knew they where talking about this .
Long Story short i got wrecked by the first 2 :suresure:


Looked them up and turns out you can parry the shit out of them ,so i equipped my Turtle Greatshield with Ash of War Carian Parry and got to work :pepebusi:

I‘m currently at the location of the Boss didn‘t enter his crib yet ,yesterday.

For now this is ngl my least favorite area,this area is huge to explore without torrent it takes ages ,and it hard to keep track where you have been before at least for me.
And the rewards you get are a bunch of smithing stones ,2 cookbooks, 1 Talisman for defeating 1 basketball head,1 frenzy perfume bottle weapon,and for defeating the other basketball heads you get crafting grapes as an reward :few:

Imo it‘s the least rewarding area of the game ,rest of the game is an 9,5/10 almost 10/10 so far for me
 
Just finished Bayle and damn, the buildup to that boss with weather getting crazier and field boss dragons becoming random minions in your way to him was as thrilling as the fight itself.

Summoned Igon to avoid missing any lore about Bayle, turns out it was useless lol.

I had the most entertaining time against Dancing Lion, Gaius, Bayle and Midra in that order. Some of the best boss designs tbh. Dancing Lion moveset especially has an amazing choreography.

Aside from difficulty, there isn’t really any awful bosses outside Golden HippoBitch who should be removed from the dlc at next update.

What are your issues with the lore concerning the final boss?
I fought the Scadutree Avatar, was a pretty fun boss but quite easy. Maybe my Scadutree blessing is just starting to really kick in because I solo’d it in 3 attempts.

I also wanted to fight Metyr, but I absolutely could not find her. The Finger Ruins of Rhya was one of the first areas I found in the DLC, so I was quite excited to find out what the secret to that area was, but when I discovered Metyr was like a Ranni length quest, I said fuck that I’ll fight her later. She doesn’t look that interesting from the leaks I’ve seen anyway.

Alright. SO. The final boss.

As you all know, I got involuntarily spoiled for this boss before I even booted up the DLC. So I knew it was Radahn for a while now. And I think my opinion on this boss initially is about the same as everyone else’s.

I was one of the original Radahn simps online. Like, from the very first Elden Ring trailer I was a fan of him, long before I heard any lore about his horse or whatever the average casual loves him for. I have always been a classic Radahn enjoyer.

The original nerf they gave to the Starscourge boss is one of FROM’s cardinal sins imo. Elden Ring is a game that to me just comes so close to perfection but falls short in some disappointing ways. And the Starscourge fight is a perfect example of that. His original fight was perfect. Just perfect. And then they nerfed him into a complete and utter fucking joke.

And that’s been Elden Ring for me for the past two years. Just so close…but hampered by some really confusingly incompetent decisions.

So now; this final boss. I love that we got a ton of more Radahn lore in this DLC, and I love that Radahn got to take his place as the Elden Lord*. I also love that they decided to pay homage to the Twin Princes from DS3 with Radahn and God Miquella. The Twin Princes is one of those S Tier FROM bosses for me, so seeing Elden Ring pay homage to that is great. God Miquella really feels like what Elden Ring has been building up to for two years.

However, I really feel like FROM let the outside world influence them in their decision to include Radahn in this bossfight. We all know this was supposed to be Godwyn. Anyone who has even casually looked into Elden Ring lore knows this, and the deeper you look, the deeper you realize this fight should have been prime Godwyn and Miquella and not Radahn and Miquella.

So even as a casual Radahn Enjoyer, I feel like Godwyn got absolutely robbed and the story suffers for it as a result.

While I do enjoy some of the twists and deeper lore implications of Miquella and Radahn being involved in a conspiracy, there is just no way this was supposed to be Radahn. Once again Elden Ring sniffs perfection and then falls flat on its face by letting Tik Tok culture and Radahn’s popularity in the greater fandom rob what should have been really the best boss in Fromsoft history.

Anyway. I’ll give more thoughts on this b boss after I clear it but the final boss of Elden Ring is emblematic of all of Elden Ring for me. Just so tragically close but falls short due to confusing incompetence.
