Elden Ring - Multiplayer - Flying Dragon Agheel (4th Attempt)

about 2 years ago

This is a clip from my gameplay footage of 2022's popular video game "Elden Ring" on Playstation 4.

If you're unfamiliar with "Elden Ring", here's some quick info:

[GAMEPLAY]
"In Elden Ring, players control a customizable player character on a journey to repair the Elden Ring and become the new Elden Lord. The game is presented through a third-person perspective, with players freely roaming its interactive open world. Gameplay elements include combat using several types of weapons and magic spells, horseback riding, and crafting." (Wikipedia)

[STORY]
"Elden Ring takes place in the Lands Between, a fictional landmass ruled over by several demigods. It was previously ruled over by the immortal Queen Marika, who acted as keeper of the Elden Ring, a powerful force that manifested as the physical concept of order. When Marika eventually shattered the Elden Ring and disappeared, her demigod children began warring over pieces of the Ring in an event called the Shattering. Each demigod possesses a shard of the Ring called a Great Rune, which corrupts them with power. In the game, the player character is a Tarnished, one of a group of exiles from the Lands Between who are summoned back after the Shattering. As one of the Tarnished, the player must traverse the realm to repair the Elden Ring and become the Elden Lord."
(Wikipedia)

[MULTIPLAYER]
"Elden Ring has a multiplayer system that allows players to be summoned for both cooperative and player versus player (PvP) play over the Internet.[20] Cooperative play involves the placing of a Summon Sign on the ground, which causes the sign to appear in front of online players. If another player interacts with the sign, they are transported into the game area of whoever placed it down. Cooperative players remain in the same world until the boss of the area is defeated, or until a summoned player dies and is sent back to their home world. PvP combat involves using a Summon Sign to directly challenge another player to a duel, or using an item called the Bloody Finger to invade the worlds of others."

Finally after facing off against multiple Bloodyfinger invaders and nearly defeating Agheel three times, I decided to break out the big weapon I used against the last Bloodyfinger.
While on our way back to the lake, I notice a rainbow stone on the ground that my friend threw and thought of how cool it is that we can drop rocks that break if they fall too far -- what a clever game. Could probably create all sorts of nice designs with them too.
My friend notices one of the dead giant bats still vibrating on the ground which must've been a temporary graphics thing.
This time our strategy is for me being run around the far side and wait for my friend to get Agheel's attention. Once his back's toward me, I unleash the secret weapon to see how effective it is.
It's a lot of running, since the goat-horse Torrent isn't available in multiplayer, but I make it to the back of the dragon and release half a bar of Rotten Breath on him until we see his health bar starting to nosedive.
Seeing how successful it is, I try it again but Agheel leaps into the air and flies away.
This boss is losing a thousand points of health a second at this point so my friend tries to get Agheel's attention again and I release another cloud of Rotten Breath from behind.
Now Agheel's losing 2000 points of health a second!
Curious how much more this dragon spell can stack, I hit him again with it and he starts losing 3000 ... then 4000 points of health a second.
We both hang back and watch the dragon slowly near death.
At the end, the rot effect wears off and my friend's able to take down the dragon with some crossbow bolts.
I didn't even use Bloodhound Step in this battle but I'm starting to think that Ash of War and Rotten Breath might be my two new favorite skills, other than Flame of the Fell God because it looks like a tiny sun or a maybe even a red DBZ spirit bomb.
I get a Rune Arc for helping defeat Agheel which is nice but I still have no idea what those do.
