PSA for people summoning for the final boss duo

[Sabaithal]

Both Radagon and Elden beast ARE IMMUNE TO BLEED. Take off the damn mask, stop using the bleed twinblade and spamming swarm of flies. It does NOTHING but piss him off FFS.

I know your meta bleed build probably carried you through the game, but you're going to have to learn how to dodge now instead of just spamming bleed DPS.

1) Honestly asking but I personally only use my helmet piece for fashion and the mask looks pimp. What is even a good helmet to use? They all seem borderline useless so may as well use any helmet you want

2) If the bleed build carried them through the game then logically speaking it is the only build they know how to play. You want them to, what, put on a 2h Hammer Colllosal Weapon and just try shi-?

No, but don't spam attacks that do nothing. Swarm of flies does about 50 damage total without bleed procs. Spam lightning bolts, or anything that will do more than 50 damage to Radagon or Elden Beast.

1) The mask does something to enhance bleed, I don't remember what.
2) Bleed carried the hypothetical person, because they bled bosses to death before they had to dodge. We all know how broken bleed builds are in PvE, you can kill a lot of bosses before they even have a change to do any serious damage, certainly not enough to necessitate learning to dodge the damn things.

And I end up having to carry these morons. I don't mind that much, but they keep dying to collateral damage. And watching someone make the exact same mistakes so many times in a row just...

The mask works like a lesser Lord of Blood's Exultation.

You use a helmet that has stat buffs on it that fit your build. I can't be bothered listing them so just look at this https://eldenring.wiki.fextralife.com/Equipment+with+Special+Effects

Or, conversely, look at the item description in game.

That implies defying the lords of meta and researching; some people don't have time for that. Obviously if everyone uses something, it is because it is the best possible (why use anything less?)

Its not "the best" if it doesn't work. Witnessed that plenty of times firsthand...

I know - just being a clown lol.
If anything - it's hilarious seeing when it doesn't work. Was just in a thread the other day about someone getting BTFOed by the same guy while using RoB & Moonveil and the other guy was just rocking a Golden Halberd, and he was LIVID

Edit : believe he said 3x in a row before the thread - but wouldn't change up his strategy (was more on about the L2 not happening in time)
