An Over-Analysis of FROM Software Boss Design: Elden Ring Part 2

Today, we continue the analysis of EVERY boss fight in Elden Ring, and we're at the second part - which is also going to be our shortest part, namely because there are a LOT of rematches in the middle of Elden Ring. So join me as I explore the Rivers, Caelid, Altus Plateau, Nokron, and Mt. Gelmir's boss roster - where they succeed, and where they stumble! If you missed Part 1, check it out here! https://youtu.be/Yyy7RjrOX_U I broke my channel in half last video, moving the Pathfinder 2e Actual Play Content to @AkasharoseChronicles - if you liked those Shorts or that Content, make sure to hop on over! The Final Episode of our first Campaign, Call of the Ocean, will go live on 7/28! As a side note, I realized... the morning this was posting I realized that I missed one boss in the Altus Plateau! I'll put them right at the start of Part 3, invisible bonus points if you can tell who's missing! I'm glad to be through the bulk of the midgame of Elden Ring, because it's definitely the hardest part of the game to write about. 0:00:00 - Introduction 0:00:49 - Dragonkin Soldier of Nokstella 0:04:45 - Ancestor Spirit 0:06:54 - Mad Pumpkin Heads 0:08:53 - Night's Cavalry - Mace (Caelid) 0:10:09 - Putrid Avatar (Caelid) 0:12:23 - Erdtree Burial Watchdogs 0:14:40 - Battlemage Hughes 0:16:38 - Cemetery Shade (Caelid) 0:17:48 - Putrid Crystalians 0:19:57 - Cleanrot Knights 0:21:57 - Commander O'Neil 0:25:18 - Decaying Ekzykes 0:28:30 - Fallingstar Beast (Caelid) 0:31:22 - Magma Wyrm (Caelid) 0:33:17 - Nox Swordstress & Monk 0:34:36 - Death Rite Bird (Caelid) 0:35:48 - Frenzied Duelist 0:37:33 - Putrid Tree Spirit 0:39:05 - Crucible Knight & Misbegotten Warrior 0:41:16 - Starscourge Radahn 0:49:12 - Magma Wyrm Makar 0:51:13 - Black Knife Assassin (Altus Plateau Overworld) 0:52:23 - Ancient Hero of Zamor (Altus Plateau) 0:53:27 - Black Knife Assassin (Sage's Cave) 0:54:59 - Night' Cavalry - Mace (Altus Plateau) 0:56:12 - Tibia Mariner (Altus Plateau) 0:56:57 - Erdtree Burial Watchdog (Altus Plateau) 0:58:22 - Stonedigger Troll (Altus Plateau) 0:59:31 - Crytalians (Altus Plateau) 0:59:57 - Fallingstar Beast (Altus Plateau) 1:01:08 - Omenkller & Miranda Flower 1:02:55 - Sanguine Noble 1:04:21 - Godefroy the Grafted 1:06:46 - Necromancer Garris 1:07:43 - Double Tree Sentinels 1:10:16 - Godskin Apostle (Altus Plateau) 1:13:25 - Wormface 1:15:32 - Ancient Dragon Lansseax 1:17:56 - Elemer of the Briar 1:19:36 - Mimic Tear 1:21:33 - Regal Ancestor Spirit 1:23:38 - Valiant Gargoyles 1:27:10 - Crucible Knight Silubra 1:28:38 - Fia's Champions 1:30:36 - Lichdragon Fortissax 1:34:15 - Ulcerated Tree Spirit (Mt.
