Boss Battle - Battle with the Godskin Apostle

I summon the halberd-carrying Engvall because this Godskin Apostle's making quite the entrance here -- plus the music's wicked cool.

~

Not sure if my magic attack went through Engvall here but I found that pretty fantastic that I can use as a shield.

~

What a great summon -- taking the black-flames fireball to the face in order to protect me.

~

I run around to get a better angle on the Godskin Apostle and pick up my fallen runes so that I don't lose out on EXP.

~

ALWAYS pick up your runes!

~

Heres Engvall just getting absolutely wrecked by the Godskin Apostle. Poor dude, thought he'd end up doing better than that.

~

I cast a Frenzied Flames spell and get a black-flame fireball to the face!

~

After he creates that large black-flame explosion, I charge up a Lightning Spear to full power and get ready to unleash it.

~

Target hit!

~

Dodging the Godskin Apostle's black-flames fireball.

~

Thumbnail!

~

I get caught in a whirlwind of black flames and die here.

~

Bummer.

~

I choose the statue since it's closer.

~

Here we go again.

~

There's some cannibal ladies nearby so I zap them for extra experience points.

~

We switch it up this time -- we're going with Olge who's the double swords. Just feel like this guy attacks faster and will be able to do more damage.

~

Not only am I changing up my summon, I'm buffing us up too with Golden Vow.

~

I stood around in the same spot too long and got blasted by a fireball from Godskin Apostle -- always be moving, always be picking up your runes.

~

I love the animation of casting the Bloodflame Armament incantation -- but having it take up a spell slot means I can't use some other spell in its stead, so I'm going to have to start investing in Bloodflame grease instead.

~

Time to bully this apostle in a storm of blades!

Godskin Apostle trying to keep track me and Olegg's swords!

~

Poor Olegg, getting thrown back by the Apostle's blackflame blast. I told him to back up 🤷‍♂️

~

Things were going so well until he started swinging that spear a lot faster. I'm beginning to think the best weapons have the most repeated strikes, like twin-blade swords and spears or dual-wielding in general.

~

Sorry, Olegg! This time I was the weak link who fell first!

~

I take out the frustration from my previous defeat on the dancing cannibal grannies of the Windmill Village.

~

Olegg, I love you and your dual swords but my highest-level summon is Llutel the Headless -- plus he teleports and throws a magic spear that returns to his hands.

~

Always nice to start with Frenzied Burst incantation to test range.

~

Time to see how some giant fire balls work on this Godskin Apostle.

~

Not too bad, damage-wise. Was expecting more but I'm still seeing yellow on his health bar so it's doing some work.

~

Have you ever heard the mantra of wise ancient sage DJ Khaled? His mantra was always ... AND ANOTHER ONE!

~

Llutel and I got the Godskin Apostle in a nice pincer formation here -- attacking him the front and behind.

~

This is what we do in Elden Ring -- dodge all day, every day!

~

It's surprising how this attack is probably just as effective as my giant fireball spell which costs way more FP/magic.

~

It's absolutely insane when this boss goes stretchy mode and starts swinging his torso all around the stage.

~

Stretchiness + Spear Tornado = Bad News

~

I'm able to relocate myself to his lower body and start hacking away at it while his upper body goes helicoptering all over the place at Llutel.

~

Here's a nice shot of me sticking the pointy end of my sword in the Godskin Apostle's heart.

~

And here's him slapping me back for getting too close haha

~

From a much safer distance, I charge up some Lightning Spear incantations.

~

That's a serious lightning bolt. You can also see Llutel getting ready to steal all my spotlight and throw the final killing spear. That's another reason I don't use him as much -- he likes to steal my thunder!

~

And just like that, Llutel's magic spear ends the battle with a final blow.

~

This banner message fills me with so much joy -- victory to me.

~

This battle not only awarded me over 10k runes but I got his spear weapon and a new black flames incantation which was really nice!
