Is one of those bosses who makes you say "if i was a mage or an archer this nigga will be dead in 3 minutes".

Summon Latenna and dodge and she will win the fight for you.

He's possibly the coolest boss From has put out ever in terms of art-style. He's the closest we'll get to a Bloodborne 2 boss and I am happy From went fucking hard on just one boss to sate the appetite for another eldritch monster. Also he's an amazing finale to one of the best questlines From has made.

All in all, awesome boss. Makes me want to see more bosses in this style but I appreciate that bosses like these are better when you're left wanting more, not less

You'll notice the lands between are pocketed with meteorites. On the larger meteors sometimes arrive Onyx/Obsidian Lord's and sometimes they're Fallingstar Beasts. The beasts eventually grow into the malformed Stars you see hanging underground. The two Astels are the most developed of all hence their absolute Mastery of gravity magic and the nebula attacks.

This, I felt bad when I did this not realizing he actually doesn't have any good max range options and his arena is the biggest

Night Maiden's Mist. I was shocked to hear anybody struggled with him because it only took me 2 tries and I'm not very good.

Yet another reused enemy

Why would you be surprised when you're very clearly aware that you cheesed it with a specific move, that's fucking retarded

lorelets will tell sing you this stuff but keep mum about retarded shit like one of Fallenstars being stuck in a mine behind wood double doors and a crossbar.

>cheesed
I don't think you know what that means.
>enemy stands still a lot
>use the thing that does damage if they stand still
You may as well call using super effective moves in pokemon cheesing too. It's not as if he got stuck on geometry.

> questline
there's no such thing in ER. you keep just doing various areas in shambled order. At some point somewhere you sit in a coffin for no reason then fight this guy before teleporting to limgrave to rape some monkeys then teleporting to leyndell to jump on a roof before teleporting to caelid to pvp grief.

I'm not gonna argue semantics but the point is you beat the fight in a way which is clearly not representative of the way most people did, and you know that, so I'm not sure why you're surprised, unless you have some baby brain which is like "hurr durr, I use night maidens mist therefore every player uses night maidens mist"

Well that's because they're either retarded and can't think or didn't have access to it due to build. There's very little reason it can't be representative.

Radahn fucked this and its a cousin of final boss

bug come from space. bug go BOOM

The only retarded one is you user. I didn't even struggle with the fight, I just think you're "hah, I used this one specific spell and the fight was super easy, I don't get how anyone struggled with this" attitude is completely stupid, because anyone with a brain should understand how the difficulty of fights can vary with different builds, especially when the way you beat it was reliant on one very specific spell

just look at his face, if he had an anime blush he would be adorable

It doesn't have to be night maiden's mist. The dude stands still and has a hitbox the side of a sun.
>frozen mist does the same thing slowly
>any ranged attack does the same thing with cost
It's about understanding what the boss is doing and adapting your strategy rather than grugswinging everything. Mad literally because bad.

>Ayy
>Still has human limbs and skull.
Did it fused with a human ?

>If you're playing clever you're cheesing !
Real brainlet take.

Its radahn bastard son

The Fallingstar Beast is standing over the Amber Meteorite it arrived on. He doesn't want to leave so the wooden door is to keep people out not to keep him in.

It should be noted ALL the mines are built around areas where an Amber Meteorite fell and was buried underground

>obvious humanoid
>eldritch

First learn what does this word mean

Lol, who's the mother ?

he's fucking aids

Where do you find the second Astel?

Dungeon in Consecrated Snowfield

From devs really have a sense of humor. The new Astel is literally a 99% carbon copy except for a single they changed which made me shriek out loud.

Not the other user but holy shit you're dumb.

Why was this fucker so much harder compared to ranni's.

>Is behind a wooden door
What the hell were they thinking? Was the only reason he appeared in consecrated snowfield because its easier to get there than find the coffin in lake of rot and they were afraid people would miss it?

I'm sure they added him purely for that "bet you didn't see that one coming motherfucker" effect.

Not the other anons but if you don't reply to this post your mother will die in her sleep.

SILENCE, ESL

Seems like a logical conclusion but I am sure lorebraps have their own 10 page paper on this.

But... If he was fucking aids, then who was fucking phone?

He is a pokemon

I think what user is really remarking on is how it’s pathetic people complain so much about certain bosses as if they don’t even know their own moves and because it would never occur to them to use an aoe mist on a relatively stationary boss

What is cake have anything to do with ESL? Also twitter file name lol lmao even!

Yes.

Lore answer would be Astel nuking the Frenzied Flame cultist city Yelough and being ready to fuck up the Haligtree if Miquella opposes the GW.

easy wid pure str build

I used a pure strength build with no spells.

This mother fucker was annoying.
I killed him, then killed him again somewhere else since they reuse him.

WHO ARE THAT???

I'm only 40 hours into Elden ring and this game fucking blows ass. I'll update you all when I finish it. God it sucks...

The duality of man

It’s Ranni. According to autists from the lore threads

What were we collecting down there for Ranni, again? Why do we go through that cave for her

Why are you even playing a game you dislike? Just stop if it's not fun after 40h.

Except that's fucking wrong and gay, why are loreniggers so obsessed with straws and the grasping of them? Also why are loreniggers so fucking bad at what they purportedly enjoy?

There's 2 of them.
One is after a lake of aids and assrape deep underground and is set up to super amazing only for it to be piss easy.
The other is at the end of some mine in a snow field guarded by like 5 teleporter faggots and no hype but is harder so I think they were accidentally switched.

Thanks

does the laser not get her? or do you maintain aggro the entire time?

>JUST STOP PLAYING THE GAME IF YOU DONT LIKE IT
>YOU DIDNT EVEN FINISH THE GAME HOW CAN YOU SAY YOU DONT LIKE [GAME]
The duality of Yea Forums

He's an ayylmao

Yup.

Fighting this guy is just pure tedium. He's zero fun to fight and everything he does just drags the fight on longer than it should be.

>spams annoying attacks if you hit is feet
>head never stops moving
>another boss where you're wrestling with the camera the whole fight
>teleports behind you and grabs for 80% of your health unless you start roll spamming like a retard
When I found that I had to fight it a second time I just used mimic to get it over with.

its mind boggling to me that Yea Forums coddles people with shit builds and attacks people with good ones. Some retarded backwards logic here. Its like these twitter mongs who compete each other by how many mental illnesses they can assign to themselves

>The duality of Yea Forums
Almost like there's more than 1 person here.
I truly hate this retarded argument
>WHAT? YOU DIDN'T SUFFER FOR 60 HOURS? IT GETS GOOD LATER ON, BRO. JUST WATCH THE FIRST 8 SEASONS, IT GETS GOOD TOWARDS THE END.
If you don't find something enjoyable for an extended period of time, just fucking drop it. Stop listening to shitposters on Yea Forums and start thinking for yourself.

His aggro seems to prioritize proximity. I've never seen him use the laser against her and that's literally the only thing he has that he can use against her.

it was just some bullshit from a malenia simp. they cant accept that her "queen" lost and now CHADahn lives rent free in their cuck head.

He's actually really easy to manipulate. Poke at his head long enough and he'll start doing biting moves, always two at a time. Dodge them and respond with your dick in his eye. Boom, he's done. That's literally all you have to do.

>What were we collecting down there for Ranni, again?
Assuming you bringing her the Carian ring is not some elaborate 5D chess move, you're pretty much done with Ranni's requests. All she needed was the blade and for you to kill the Fingers' Shadow assassin.

why are there two of these and why do they appear in different locations

While he only gets one new move, he's much more aggressive and uses Meteorite from the beginning instead of as a HP threshold. And the one new move is a fucking doozy, it's the nastiest command grab in the game if not the series.

They are an entire species. There are actually 8-9 of them in the whole game. The Fallingstar beasts are their larval state and the malformed Stars you encounter in underground areas are ones that didn't successfully become the full grown Astel.

Mimic just gets annihilated by this space bug. Even at +10. Astel bosses just get super crazy in the beginning with all their gravity spells but once it's down to 1/3 of its hp he slows down a lot and you can actually easily finish it off. I agree though, in the beginning it's a real pain that's why I took the biggest weapon I had, smashed his head like twice, then ran off until I saw a window again. At 1/3 it starts spamming meteors which never hit you, when he does that spell it's a guaranteed win for you because you rush it and crush its fucking dome like an egg.

The bite attack is stupidly easy, but when I fought him I would get like 1-2 hits in then he would start charging his AOE or start constantly teleporting, followed by either the meteor rain or the grab attack.

From could easily chalk up the copy-paste to Astel being a species, not some unique cosmic entity. The problem is they got lazy/retarded and slammed the other Astel into a random dungeon instead of a crater or something related to cosmos/gravity.

>Mimic just gets annihilated by this space bug
My mimic had a greatshield so he lasted the whole fight and only lost about 1/3 of his health.

He's literally sitting on top of a Meteorite when you encounter him. All the mines are built on meteor impact sites.

For Ranni? Nothing. She dismissed you from her service after you retrieved the Fingerslayer Blade and killed the Baleful Shadow. She wanted to tread her dark path alone, and not bring any more people into her heretical actions. It was your decision to track her down regardless, pushing through the Lake of Rot, the Grand Cloister (the eternal city Astel destroyed), and Adula once again that let you meet up with her. That was when she realized you were meant to be her consort and walk the dark path along with her.
