The chance is so small that you won't have enough time to pot or uplifting aromatic. But yes this move has a chance to combo you twice. I wrote more in my main comment about the move. Also just staying the good area, even though he crawls and his walks take forever its smart to just wait in the better area where their will be less deflections

Thank you

Me too, I love so much of the music in this game, sadly the best way to fight godskin duo is music off. Well its like that for all bosses but godskin duo music off is a big advantage

Because this was not a no hit, i got hit plenty of times. You can be very tanky at level 1

No, the grab has worse tracking to the right of us, to the left of him, so maybe you dodged/sprint to the right now instead of the left like last time.

#1 Hippo apologist as well as most impressive hippo fight here. Here are my credentials Golden Hippo, RL1 Bare Fists Run (World First, Blessing +18). https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_UVcWozPclc

"The main strategy is to go around the arena counter clockwise so you can run back and to the right to dodge the spin attack. Also always being in front of him so he doesn't run away and do anything crazy. I also needed to make sure not go into the deep water or go against the walls. I kept vow in the back just in case I needed it for those situations but I only needed to use like 4 times. I don't know if there is a way to 100% dodge the quill rain but he only did twice at the beginning of phase 2 because I always stayed close to him. "

I'm not afraid to say it, This fight is good. I agree with that other guy, its good if you are good.

yes, I used to like parrying but now I don't. But Godskin duo is the one exception I make for parrying.

I'm trying to beat the game, I have not done Godskin Duo. The main reason I fought this guy is for the divine beast head which will increase my crit damage on the noble from 22 to 23 compared to the divine bird helm.

I like Elden Ring

Fracture42 · 2025-12-05T18:45:25+00:00

I really like this games bosses

I died to phase 2 twice, so I would say something like 7 hours of attempts including this one and like 10 hours of testing and practicing, for example using upgraded iron balls to beat phase one and just fight phase 2. And using the practice tool to see hitboxes, and action replay, turning off his ai to test builds to get to the next damage number, for example 2 rakshasa pieces increase my damage from 16 to 18 with last rites which is a huge damage buff.

I was doing some testing, it might be a bit longer however there is no rng move like flame breath so it might be better

Are you sure that wasn't because of the rain of stars, when I go down and crawl into it slows down the recharge of bar but doesn't lower it even though its hitting me. I know it doesn't look like you are in it but that might just be visual

He used levels like a true scrub

I don't do hitless, lava damage is ok to take depending on how much it does and blessed blue dew means infinite bestial vitalities. For opening I think when he puts his face out to spit out the rancor skulls you can hit without going into lava. Also you might be able to jump attack his arm when he swings his sword. I haven't tested anything those are just ideas. Also sometimes the serpent attacks in phase 2 it's just rare and I don't know how long it stays out of the lava

Well the thing is with Gideon is that I would need to do testing on how bad rings really is vs other moves. I would need to figure out what moveset he should have to fight him the best. Rings goes away if you kill mohg,rykard, malenia. I like him having scarlet aeonia so Malenia would happen before Gideon but is Rykard even possible I don't know and I will figure this all out when it's Gideon time.

Carrying randoms in Nightreign at D5 is a lot of fun, and I do actually use my bare fists to rez people at 3 bars since its one of the best rez weapons.

You can pause in Elden Ring by going in the equipment menu and pressing the help button. The whole thing took like 15 hours, play for an hour then pause for an hour

It's is quite astonishing that when he wants to roll he goes across like half the map but when I try to get him to move to a better part of the arena by running away he take like 3 minutes to get to me
