Elden Ring: Part 61 - [Boss] Rykard, Lord of Blasphemy ft. [Mini-Boss] Godskin Noble
0Welcome to my playthrough of Elden Ring played on the PC via Steam commentated by me, NightmareAWL. I am using a PS4 controller with DS4 Windows, although Steam runs a PS4 controller fine.
Rykard isn't too bad and I rather enjoyed this fight. I had no idea that it would be a two-phase fight as I thought that perhaps the giant snake was just there as a gimmick fight prior to another boss but as far as gimmick bosses go this one isn't too bad. Unlike most of them, you can't really just keep spamming attacks (unless you can, idk) you have to dodge a bit. You can outrun his giant overhead charged two-handed slam or simple dodge roll through it. The ichor, or fireballs, will explode as they travel and when the skull gets to you and he has a couple of combinations of attacks with swipes, slams, and a thrust upwards. The only real danger of dying here is being slowed by the lava and caught by a fireball that knocks you down or grabbed. Just keep running and swiping or wait until the fire around the sky has gone after his double-handed slam.
The Godskin Noble is like a really shit Executioner Smough. Use the pillars to kite his fat ass and his fireballs. About halfway into the fight he will expand and then use his size to roll at you. Again, pillars. His thrust attacks are annoying because they hit hard and happen so fast so don't be afraid to use another body for this fight. Honestly though, average fight at best. He is really mobile for a fat guy.
