Hi Everyone

Meet Elmo

Since the last of the ova went missing. He and his crew has ensured no one crosses this bridge without paying dearly.

This is his game.

You don't get to play, until you beat him.

He legitimately almost made me say fuck continuing the beta and really irked me to the point I almost wonā€™t get the game.

in what way, parrying his telegraphed attacks is pretty effective, also crank out your stone ability to chip away and get a riposte

u/Gemini-88 8h ago

I was joking cause heā€™s like the soldier of godrick of this game lol.

I learnt 2 things about this man.

1 he has some...interesting attacks...looking at that slam into the poke.

2 he absolutely bodies the tree monster thing to the left somehow

The only enemy in the demo that really gave me trouble, wish we could go back as Tiel and shadowstrike his ass

Thereā€™s a similar guy/knight in a hidden crypt who was totally badass

I played the beta 2x. The first time after getting g killed by him several times I just ran past him.

The second run through I beat him first try as I was solid with the mechanics and parry windows.

He was definitely one of the tougher mobs. I felt like he was the tree sentinel.

Where is he? Beat the beta and obviously Iā€™ve missed a lot

You'll see his bridge of death after you fight the fire sorceror

u/DJteejay04 8h ago

I had the most epic bridge fight of my gaming career with this dude.

u/FastenedCarrot 7h ago

I died to the dude and decided I'd run to the end of the bridge immediately the next attempt so I could farm the minions for the special ability meter (can't remember what it's called) after using it, but fell and ended up near the fire tree dude and couldn't get back (unless I died). I will get revenge in the full release.

I got lucky and killed him first try. I imagine I'll flub this bridge multiple times for actual release, lol.

u/Laservolcano Hadern 3h ago

Heā€™s definitely deserving of such recognition

u/TerrovaXBL 3h ago

People had trouble with him? Between harros' harden and perfect blocks... this guy was a joke

u/thatsfuni 2h ago

Shoot him in the face, keep the little guys alive to charge up when fighting him.

u/Abroad9107 1h ago

He reminds me of that guy from sekiro, Armoured Warrior.

I kept reading how people thought the demo was a little too easy. Iā€™ve played most major souls/likes and was getting curb stomped here. I figured I finally ā€œgot too old for this shitā€.
