Elden Ring - Draconic Tree Sentinel, Crumbling Farum Azula (Level 60, +9 Armaments)
This boss gave me some grief due to low fire and lightning resists. To remedy this I equip the Flamedrake+2 and Boltdrake+2 talisman. I relied almost solely on Black Flame because I'm better at evading his distance attacks than his melee.

I hate this fight, a lot. I'm glad it's over. At least until I make another build. The main strategy to this boss that I forgot to mention in the video is very simple: attack when her attention is on the Mimic (or co-op partner) and focus on evasion/defense when she's focused on you.

It’s post hardcore at its finest maybe post math core???😂
This is not metal core come on bros
Definitely pioneers… They define their genre. Chariot included of course
cruel lord is my favorite line read here, there's real bitter hatred there different from her despair and grief. it really makes you feel for her and Garland. they found the same truth as Allant and still tried to retain their humanity.
Villains who are atrocious yet delusional that they're the good guys aren't always done properly, but good lord, Astraea is peak at that.
@@genarovargas5661 I interpret her motivations and attitude a bit differently. I could be way off, though. I thought Saint Astraea essentially turned her back on "god" because of his apparent abandonment of man, particularly the downtrodden. Astraea's will to aid the suffering surpassed even her trust in "god" and this will is what drives her to take the Demon Soul because with it, she'll be able to offer some comfort to the lost and wretched. Had the player not "required" her demon soul, she could've been left alone in her pit and Boleteria would've been no worse off, because she's actually a Saint with good intentions. The player IS the villain here and it feels icky. So, I always saw this fight as "I need to kill this nearly defenseless woman or kill her lover to compel her to take her own life because she has what I need in order to reach my aims." I don't follow the lore much or watch videos on the subject, so I could be missing some details that would blow my interpretation to ribbons, but this is what I thought was going on during my first playthrough.
@@TonyArzenta Thanks a lot for the response! That is what I thought of at first glance, too. But as is often the case with Souls games, things are not what they seem at first. First off, there are corpses of people impaled/crucified and lit on fire as you approach her arena, and the nearby Filthy Woman states that the men of the Valley blindly follow her. Therefore, these corpses are, most surely, of the people in the Valley that didn't follow this heretical cult, and were pursued down for it. It's not clear whether Astraea actively enforces this, but in the case she doesn't, then she doesn't care about it. Not to mention the multiple holy knights that were sent into the Valley and met their demise there, such as Rizaia or the multiple corpses of priestly warriors found by Astraea's arena. I'm leaving Bito out because she was devoured by slugs, and Selen because she hasn't died -yet. The miracle Resurrection, derived from her soul, is a countersign to Astraea, and what it does is taking a nearby Blue Phantom and send them back to their original worlds, with their Body restored. Therefore, if it's a countersign that gives body to a soul, what Astraea does is taking a soul away from a body. Freke's spell on Astraea is Death Cloud, and the magic he derives is that of the potential of the soul. Basically, a reflection of the actions. And that spell carries an extreme toxicity that kills most things it reaches. On the other hand, Yuria's spell on Astraea is Relief (named Salvation in japanese), that fully restores an ally upon touch, and her spells are derived from the essence/emotion of the soul. From this, we can infer that while Astraea HAD good intentions, her actions were extremely deadly and corrosive. In addition, with her soul we forge the Blueblood Sword. Now, the term "blueblood" was used to refer to nobles that practically lived enclosed, away from any manual labor, which caused their skins to be pale and their veins to be seen. The description of her Archstone, in japanese, states that she offered her body to a Demon's Soul in order to "take away their suffering", and the one of the Dirty Colossus states that the people of the Valley offered their souls to be freed from their pain. We gotta remember that Astraea is a demon, and the purpose of a demon is to take souls from people to feed them to the Old One (in japanese named "Old Beast") Truth is, when Astraea found the Valley (which the Church deemed to be a malicious place), this daughter of nobility (possibly born from incest, for she's the Pureblood Demon) that pretty much never interacted with the real world outside the Church's doors, found the entire life she was raised in due to sheer luck collapse, her views on the world changed. She couldn't understand how many a people could live in such misery. And then, she decided that it was God who abandoned them, because in her entitled eyes, God was cruel. Not humans who abandoned other humans. It was God, she knew better. Then, she arrogantly decided that the only way to take away their suffering, was by sucking out their souls, essentially lobotomizing them. If there's no clarity, there's no understanding of one's situation, and with it, one doesn't suffer. And by doing this, she forever condemned the Valley to never have a chance of improving, for those souls will never be retrieved. Astraea had good intentions, performed atrocious acts to achieve those intentions, stripped people in misery from ever getting better, and was completely delusional on that she was doing good. And no, Astraea doesn't suicide after Garl's death because she loved him, because she didn't. She suicides because she realizes that there's nothing she can really do to defend herself after you kill her protector, so she decides to die in her own terms. Eh, sorry for the text dump. I love discussing Demon's Souls on all aspects lol, it's my favorite game in the franchise.
@@TonyArzenta you generally are right, allant seems to say that god created the old one to end the suffering of mankind by ending us through taking ours souls via the demons so it can be said God did abandon the people especially in the valley of defilement where even mankind itself left the downtrodden people to rot. but with that being said Maiden Astraea using the demon's soul to remove the pain from people only removed their souls from them and made them the soul starved depraved ones who worship her as their God since she is an archdemon once she gave herself to the demon's soul. she is delusional along with garl vinland because their pursuit of saving the wretched ended up damning them all. thats why the valley of defilement is toxic and full of monstrous people. we are not the villains we are bringing mercy to people USED by the old one to obtain more souls.
Definitely one of the best villains Miyazaki has written, alongside Astraea. Not only a great twist over the "dude awakes old demon cuz he wants more power", but also a reflection on the themes that Demon's Souls emphasizes time and again. A bountiful ruler that got depressed over the fact that humanity was, at its core, evil, and unable to fix it, became obsessed over this idea as he aged older. Thus, he arrogantly decided that the only way to rid humanity from its own malice, was to rid the world from existing, stating that "no one wishes to go on" and dragging everyone down with his misery.
I miss this kind of Fromsoftware game design and storytelling. Nowadays every time you enter a fog gate the boss comes charging at you in a fit of rage and bloodlust while the whole arena lights up with aoe explosions Michael Bay style and hardly a word spoken or emotion expressed...
When mimic tear goes for a strike then strike her after and then mimic tear deals another strike and you end up doing a combo
I hated the remake and i always come back to the original goated game.
@@plussliceofdream1515 the remake was a needless piece of media that failed upon its own inception. What a missed opportunity for the IP; they could've made a sequel or an actual reimagined remake instead of the carbon copy we got. SO glad I didn't pay for it, haha.
Bro reminded me of how overpowered my build really is with my multi element cheese options
@@Bob-iy7vg Yeah, at level 150+ she can be beaten with little effort or creativity.
“you abandoned us long ago, what right do you have?” (2:12) Makes you wonder if your character has association with those two prior to the events of the game and they’ve seen you fallen to the point of becoming the villain.
And now I believe you can’t knock her down with takers flame because they nerfed it
@@betweenredmd Lame. Maybe they should nerf her bullshit healing ability or her virtually undodgable instant-kill attacks... Would be a cool fight if it wasn't so cheap. One of the worst bosses in all of the Souls games.
@@TonyArzenta you think she is bad wait til you get to the final boss of the dlc
The only time I felt bad doing it
You coulda spammed atleast 4 Taker's Flames per Aeonia, you said you hate the move but its every Blasphemous Blade wielder's favorite 😂😂😂
@@HippioKass I hate the "Atomic Flower Bomb" because 9 times outta 10 I fail to dodge it. This was my first go with the B Blade and had zero expectation of actually winning, much less any strategy other than spamming R2, haha.
@@TonyArzenta figured you just did it out fo respect for Malenia, it is cheesy AF to do XD
@@HippioKass Nope, just pure ignorance as I have no respect for this boss, haha.
Feels bad... also crossing the hideous swamp full of misery and deformity and face some of the most hateful creatures to get to the archdemon, just to see they are two clerics that took pity on the sufferment of the creatures living there and claimed a demon soul to ease their suffering, trully memorable, my guiltiest kill in all fromsoft games
I just watched a playthrough of the remake. While the environments are gorgeous, some of the charm of the original is lost, especially in the sound design. Things like the *TIIIING* in Latria and the amazing music and line delivery of the Maiden Astraea fight.
Here's my take on the remake: The remake had zero charm. None. It was was a soulless copy of an amazing game and it was a chore to play, especially after how much I played the original. It was destined to fail simply because they thought they'd "bring the Demon's Souls experience to a new audience" and that's impossible for a number of reasons. The voice acting was lifeless, almost like a cold-read or scratch VO. Allant's voice was particularly flat. I also thought the animations left much to be desired and they screwed up/altered some move-sets. I just don't know why they even made it if they were just gonna update the graphics of a PS3 game. It was a missed opportunity, when they could've done so much more with it. But it DOES look pretty slick, for sure, haha.
Nobody has mentioned that this is not Josh nor Cory. Do we know who this vocalist is?
He's a fill in. His name is Matt from the band Winter Solstice.
thats not cheese thats SPAM.
I wish this is what metalcore was now, just 5 dudes that looked like they walked outta their mall jobs into a grungy underground bar, you can hardly understand the lyrics half the time, but the crowd can scream them so loud that it doesn't matter, the singer constantly looks a mixed of exhausted & wired, and the guitarists cannot stand still, the glory days..
Yeah me too now it looks like boy bands. Weird..
Most of the bands i am listening now (including Norma Jean) have the same energy. Ken Mode, Converge, Cancer Bats, Norma Jean, Comeback Kid, Unsane, Whores... just ordinary guys playing heavy music and the entire band loosing their shit on the stage.
Allant is the one who caused all the suffering. He caused Boletaria to fall, he caused the Old One to awake and create demons that feed off the souls of endless innocent lives, and worst of all - he made me tragically take the lives of Garl Vinland and Maiden Astraea. So if you have a heart and faith, you’ll make him pay with his life and leave the Old One to sleep forever.
Yes. And the "no one wishes to go on" line is the most poignant sentence I've ever heard in a video game. They don't make them like this anymore.
*"Take your precious demon soul"* The delivery of that line drives home the resentment and disgust toward us. When I went into this fight the first time, I had the attitude of following through until the bitter end. Had to put the game down for a lil bit after that
Is that josh?!?! Who is singing???!?!
A fill-in singer named Matt from the band Winter Solstice.
Never heard of these guys and it took me 1 minute and 30 seconds to become a fan
Was is at The End in Nashville?
No. Can't remember the venue's name, but it was in PA.
Oh it's that part of the game where I am the piece of garbage
I've played this, back in 2009. Asian version. I've platinum'd this, 3 times in PS3, PS5 Remake one. People learned about Dark Souls in 2011... Though, that's why the original for me, IS the hardest, and storywise... *I'm crying, Thats why I use humor.* Astraea was not a demon, she tried Just to give a peaceful, ending, to all these damned Souls. Garl Vinland, IS My favorite NPC, of ALL Souls series. I NEVER kill him, before he ends his dialogue. (you who kill Astraea ranged? I'd bet 1000$ Platinum speedrun, melee only, no speels.) PS3 (Hardest). PS5. I KNOW I'LL WIN.
A dude played the Remake, and said: Garl Vinland is a copy of Vellstadt. I TIGER'D KNEE HIM (XBOX FAN THAT EVEN KNEW BOUT' THIS GAME), SAID I KNEW NOTHING ABOUT DARK SOULS.
I was watching Japanese videos of DS months before it came to the US and I was not disappointed when I finally got my hands on it. It changed everything; one of the last few dying sighs of the golden age of video games, honestly. It was the hardest, by far, and very unforgiving. I used to say "Demon's Souls (and Dark Souls) doesn't give a shit if you like the game or if you quit out of frustration" while 99% of games try desperately to earn the player's praise. I have many fond memories of playing Demon's Souls and Dark Souls; something I cannot say about most of the games I've played. The games made their mark, but unfortunately, too many game devs have hijacked Souls mechanics and just inject them into their games with poor results. Lords of the Fallen is just a way shittier Souls game, kinda like Dark Souls II, only it looks way better. But at least I played DSII a bunch despite its many, many shortcomings, while I haven't played LOTF in over a month because it's boring and derivative to the highest degree. But, I digress. The Demon's Souls remake was one of the most unnecessary, creatively bankrupt failures I've ever seen. It simply didn't need to exist, especially if they're just going to painstakingly recreate DS with it's janky and dated approach, when games have changed a lot since '09. The game was a missed opportunity and it felt phoned in, especially the voice acting. So bad. Thanks for the comment.
@@TonyArzenta I do not agree with you, though, it's rarely seen, someone that actually has arguments. Let's say, we'd agree to disagree. For me, Demon's Souls REMAKE, was a love letter to the original 2009, and It has the best graphics, of any Souls, by far.
@@TonyArzenta this is not my main YT account. Back in 2009, I was obese. 98kg, 1,67cm.
I remember this tour...either this one or one right around this time. They were headlining and Underoath and Dead Poetic were on this tour as well. One of the best nights of my life. I'll never forget that night. Miss those days
Prime Norma Jean!
All that dude wanted to do was crowed surf after getting tossed back on stage they tossed him down to the floor poor guy
i was just getting into the underground music scene in the south back in 2002-03 when i was in high school. its hard to overestimate how big these guys were in that scene. i remember when they came through on tour, it was an event. bedlams in pensacola fl. i wasnt that into screamo at the time, but now i really regret not seeing them. actualy im not even sure if that show was AA...that was one thing that sucked being a minor back then, a lot of these shows happened at bars or clubs, although a lot of times theyd let underage kids in as long as they put those giant black X's in magic marker on each hand. anyway, bless the martyr is still one of the best of the genre.
🤘😡 Classic
I used twin-blade up until Stormveil. Then Bloodhound Fang for the majority of my run. But, fell in love with Blasphemous Balde late game. That weapon art with its knockdown is the best.
Used bloodhound from the beginning up until I decided to switch and I just love the blasphemous
People say that slaying Astraea is a villain moment for the player. It's not. Astraea is funneling souls to the Old One and that is a direct threat to the entire world as his colorless fog will eventually engulf it completely. Astraea has to die or millions will suffer. It's not a villainous act. In fact, it's Astreae who is completely deluded about what she's doing.
yes, its sad but she is destroying even the people she wished to save and killing her and garl is a mercy
Holy frik
i will never forget this song i first heard circa 2009/10 when playing this game imported from Asia before it was even out in Europe!
Not forget the near surprise attack that bastard's phantom made on me!
I feel u bro...😢😢😢 she is a nightmare
Ruins Greatsword works even better on her, in my experience.
I don't play intelligence builds, so this weapon wasn't even on my radar, but I'll take your word for it.
These dudes were so f’n epic at this time! Live shows were just nuts!
Who’s that on vocals because it isn’t Josh. Is it Brad Norris?
My dad talks about opening for these guys a lot. Definitely a good band and glad I got to hear josh sing MWBLTW with Mewithoutyou.
your DAD???? 😭
@@shafatalam698 yeah lol. Although I should mention it was more in the early days. The band was still called Luti-Kriss. They would play at a venue called the Solid Rock Cafe (my dad's friend's parents owned it.) They were just a metal band in Georgia at that time lol.
I never noticed before but the singer moves his body like the guitarists / bassist, but since he's not holding a guitar his arms just wobble around. lol.
The voice actress... is she the same of the fair lady in Dark Souls?
She did the VO for Gwynevere and Priscillia in Dark Souls and she did some for DSII and DSIII. She also did Hyetta's voice in Elden Ring and reprised her role for the Demon's Souls remake.
@@TonyArzentaWait! Then she also did one of the character voices in ER, young voice 2 (female) I think.
Sad that they destroyed it in the Demon Souls remake replacing the most iconic song in Souls's game series.
The Demon'a Souls remake was a wasted effort and missed opportunity. If the goal was to "recreate the Demon's Souls experience on current gen for a current audience," then they failed miserably. I remember the original "Demon's Souls experience" and it was as magical as playing the Legend of Zelda or Super Mario World when they were THE games to play. The remake was just a completely unnecessary piece of mimicry that fell completely flat. And yeah, they especially dropped the ball on the Maiden Astraea fight. So, so bad.
Saw the guys back when they were still Ludikris. I’m OG hard core scene. ❄️😄
I remember when people used to say Norma Jean sucks LOL
who's the vocalist? doesnt look like josh or cory
A guy named Matt from another band; he only filled in for two shows.
Singer of winter solstice
I love that the guitar player next to the camera is wearing a Mars Volta shirt.
So you taped Norma Jean instead of mewithoutyou and here we are. Thank you so much!
Mewithoutyou was very late to the venue and I had school the next morning, so I was only able to tape their first song.
Yeah, a lucky coincidence in retrospect! @@TonyArzenta
