    Check out bigimpact.io/ for 20% off all your website and SEO needs! Edit: For those wondering why I didn’t showcase Forsa’s 1st place run: I asked him before I started working on this if he’d be okay with me not including him in the video given that I’ve already covered him in 2 previous ones and he said it was fine! We wanted to give others the chance to share the spotlight too. I also felt like Spicee and Michu’s runs made for better storytelling because they were so close. If you’re interested in seeing Forsa’s run, you can find it in the description of this video. Definitely check it out, the guy is a legend!

    Him: His fight took an outrageously high 46 seconds Me: Takes 3 hours
  • @morgajoka838
    Michu: carefully subjugating the bosses in a conceise and controlled manner Spicee: STANDING HERE, I REALIZE
  • @GoznerPeter
    Hiding the timer is freaking cool, I think you should do it more often, and maybe even a little bit sooner. I loved it, the suspense was killing me.
  • @csbshaw1
    Spicee's dodge of 2nd form malenia's 2nd water fowl was magnificent! Both runners are well deserving of some recognition for their awesome runs!
  • @Kiwi_bruv
    Godrick was my boss tbh. When I first met him he looked pretty cool but when he grafted the dragons head I was in absolute shock and then the iconic “FOREFATHERS ONE AND ALL, BARE WITNESS.” It was honestly what hooked me for the rest of the game
  • @SonicHaXD
    The ending clutches are always super hype to watch. Great job on the video and all the runners who participated XD
  • It was a pleasure to watch these two highly skilled individuals in their natural habitats. Truly amazing
  • General Radahn was the most iconic boss in Elden ring by far. From his compassion towards animals, to coming down as a meteor, not only was his fight legendary but also his character.
  • @graynomad7735
    My favorite is the WARRIOR!!! It’s a well put together fight that has important lore behind it and is a fair fight and not to take from the WARRIOR!!!
  • My favourite boss is definitely Starscourge Radahn as he is(at least was on the release) one of the harder(but not unfair) bosses in the game. Also i like the whole festival gimmick
  • @grimreefer213
    Can we just appreciate how clean those Malenia fights were.. Amazing work. These are some high level players. Bummer with the bad luck at the end but he managed to pull off the victory! The fact that they were just seconds apart is so impressive. Speedrunners play at such a high level that they are only seconds apart from each other
  • Love the speedrunners with objectives and glitchless. This rocks!!!
  • Even coming from 1000+ hours played in souls game, it took me a lot of attempts to beat Margit. He's designed to teach you the "always roll through" mechanic, while at the same time punishing you sometimes with quick dagger swipes, that you have no way to avoid. It really subverts the "keep rolling and all will be fine" theme.

    I haven’t seen a lot of others say this, but my favorite boss might have been maliketh the black blade. It was the most surprising “this boss is so easy” to “…. There’s a phase 2…” moment. The transformation was also really cool. I found I had to really learn his moves and dodge them with specific strategies vs just being able to wing it with other bosses.
  • @Empridon
    That was amazing. Good job to both runners, thanks for the awesome video
  • @PG1337ify
    My favourite boss is Placidusax. His fight is one big spectacle. The arena, the music that depends on his actions and his moves, especially thundercloud, the laser attack and the big explosionspear are all exciting to me. This challenge by the way is very nice.
  • My favorite boss is Placidusax. I love the atmosphere, the music, and he's hard, yet slow, so it let's you use insane attacks and not get instantly punished
  • @noob_dood1901
    My favourite boss in Elden Ring is probably Godfrey. On my first playthrough, he felt like the final boss, with extremely powerful attacks, that were also well telegraphed, so the fight never seemed unfair. From a lore and gameplay standard, this boss is amazing for the climax of the game. It's unfortunate that the real final boss is a little disappointing (not Radagon, but the Elden Beast is stupid).

    Great challenge, amazing runs, and a fantastic game for being so open to do things like this.
