Elden Ring - Crucible Knight - Boss Fight (Maybe 20th Attempt)

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)

• This post covers my victory fight with Crucible Knight, one of the Evergaol bosses in Limgrave.

• You summon Evergaol bosses by walking up to these purple circles in the middle of stone circles that are hidden around the map.

• Activating these purple circles, sends your Elden Ring player to a pocket dimension where you battle these optional bosses.

• While initially not the fastest boss, Crucible Knight was pretty sturdy when I first met him earlier in the game -- but now thanks to leveling up a bit my attacks are making more than a small dent to his life bar.

• The moment he materializes I zap him with a Lightning Spear which does a nice chunk of damage but he still rushes at me -- his armor still crackling with electricity from my attack.

• The strategy for this fight was my usual -- keep my distance -- plus hitting him with Lightning Spears when he wasn't holding up his shield.

• Crucible Knight's attacks get more and more vicious as his life bar disappears, and he reveals some interesting tricks after half his health is gone.

• It was a fun battle and really great to finally beat him after losing so many times in the past.

• Hope you enjoy this video!
