Souls YouTuber Ongbal, identified for his or her singularly trendy, typically flawless play in Darkish Souls, Elden Ring, and particularly Sekiro, is again for Elden Ring Nightreign. At some point after sharing their first solo run of the three-person co-op sport, Ongbal posted their first solo victory in opposition to Nightreign’s closing boss. Spoilers for that boss under.
Being a Sekiro fanatic who typically opts for katana builds in different Souls video games, Ongbal naturally favors the Executor in Nightreign. This katana edgelord’s distinctive potential shifts him right into a particular stance that permits Sekiro-style timed blocks, as distinct from the large to-do of Elden Ring’s excessive danger, excessive reward parries.
Watch On
Nightreign’s closing boss, Heolstor, begins out in a sluggish, “oooh I am only a decrepit tragic king do not harm me” mode harking back to Vendrick from Darkish Souls 2. He naturally launches right into a “Haha, I am really a killer intuition anime sword god” mode when you deplete his first well being bar—suppose Girl Maria in Bloodborne or Gael section 2 in Darkish Souls 3. We’re taking part in the hits.
This is not a no-hit combat—that is most likely coming later—however Ongbal makes fairly quick work of the bloke. I do not suppose Heolstor gave me probably the most hassle of Nightreign’s bosses—that prize goes to both Gaping Jaw or Darkdrift Knight—however it’s an unimaginable battle visually, and I am significantly impressed at how properly Ongbal saved their cool as soon as the mega closing boss particle results began flying.
It is early days for Nightreign, and I can not wait to see what else Ongbal has in retailer. As a Dex construct katana sicko myself, they provide me one thing to aspire to. You may subscribe to Ongbal on YouTube to catch these triumphs as they arrive.
