i like fighting fun souls bosses, especially in elden ring

[Misericorde @slickwickur]

My last Morgott kill for a bit

2nd phase is a bit untidy nearer the end

RL1, +0, No Aux, No Talismans

[Misericorde @slickwickur]

@Invinium its crazy how important ds1's dlc was for the design of their future games tbh

[Misericorde @slickwickur]

@Invinium hard to pick my 4

artorias/manus, speed

fume knight, combos, mixups, input read, positioning checks

kalameet, foundation of future dragons

ludwig, using the limb break as a posture bar, which became key in sekiro/elden ring

o&s, storm king, friede also have claims

[Misericorde @slickwickur]

@Omoi010 all im hoping for is that their next pve game takes foundations laid by bosses like morgott and messmer

those fast paced fights where the bosses have multiple mixups depending on player position are what i live for

[Misericorde @slickwickur]

he makes a good case for the bosses he chose, still cant help but feel as though fume knight was snubbed

he is a better candidate for the "father of combos" as a lot of the points give to sulyvahn apply to fume, who came first

heal punish
positioning checks
long combos
mixups

Mt Rushmore made by a DS3 fan who loves White Monster Energy and Goth Mommies

[Misericorde @slickwickur]

@Omoi010 malenia hasnt had a chance to influence an entire generation of bosses yet, she has a place amongst the greatests of all time but no elden ring boss is mount rushmore material YET*

[Misericorde @slickwickur]

@Jet_Amrmans2 hard to rly pick 4 so i can defo feel ur struggle in choosing only 4 to make ur video

just think hes the better pick as he came first, and every "guy with sword" fight feels like an evolution of artorias' speed and fume's mixups, combo branching, position checks & the heal read

[Misericorde @slickwickur]

@HylianUndead its not really about difficulty

point im making is that while sulyvahn refined the formula, fume knight did it all first

he is the template upon which essentially every guy with sword boss has been built upon

having a successor on there rather than the original is just wrong

[Misericorde @slickwickur]

@SiofraSabhait i feel u, i think then that the boss i would pick from bloodborne would be ludwig as he feels like the true predecessor to the posture system

my main point of contention w/ the limb break system is that it was very much a basegame thing that imo made the bosses too easy

[Misericorde @slickwickur]

@BigCatHat fume knight snub is definitely the most egregious part of this vid

[Misericorde @slickwickur]

@HawkboneFGC think not including fume knight on here (the very obvious template for ds3 knight boss design) is disingenuous

otherwise this is valid, i think midir or friede are the only ds3 picks i can really embrace

regardless its difficult to only choose four so no list will be perfect

[Misericorde @slickwickur]

@SiofraSabhait its not directly from bloodborne either, sinh predates bloodborne n takes increased dmg to the head

limb breaking is certainly part of the influence for posture but even as far back as ds1 a boss like smough can be staggered so this concept has also been present for a long time

[Misericorde @slickwickur]

@SiofraSabhait cuz the limb break mechanic which you can use to stunlock every basegame bloodborne boss isnt present in the games after it

midir influenced every elden ring dragon

friede belongs up there rather than maria imo, aside from her low poise i dont feel much maria post bloodborne

[Misericorde @slickwickur]

@NCRsimp pretty much, also +1 on the maria take i dont really feel her in friede or malenia besides their low poise

[Misericorde @slickwickur]

@Invinium @SiofraSabhait this is also part of why i think midir does have a genuine place up there

midir really pioneered the "hit the dragon in the head" philosophy, improving on sinh and becoming the basis of elden ring's dragons

[Misericorde @slickwickur]

@khaosdogma all good bosses!

im not sure how or if i would include sekiro bosses on my own rushmore as they feel seperate to souls moveset-wise

[Misericorde @slickwickur]

@SiofraSabhait a fair take, i think my thought process on this only leaves elden ring out as its the newest game

think the "mount rushmore" should be who has most impacted the design of bosses after them

at the end of the day its all objective, every1s entitled to their opinion im just yappin

[Misericorde @slickwickur]

@SiofraSabhait who would you have up there instead of midir, out of curiosity

only because i feel like a dragon does belong up there due to their prevalance in souls

[Misericorde @slickwickur]

@Invinium ya, my main point is that just because sulyvahn did things faster/more complex doesn't mean he isnt obviously inspired by fume knight, who to me does feel like the blueprint of ds3s boss design specifically

[Misericorde @slickwickur]

@nothingbruv_ if i dare do this kill again i will implement this, thank u

[Misericorde @slickwickur]

Mohg, Lord of Blood

RL1 , WL0 , No Aux

this one was hard (bloodflame scary!)

[Misericorde @slickwickur]

@treelordmiq nice job !! just got my own hitless mohg as well, defo one of the most satisfying
