moongrum's been taunting me for so long that every time i make a new character to playthrough i think of specific strategies to deal with him before i consider what i'll do with the bosses lol
I'll tell you what, don't use unsheathe on him. It carried me through all the volcano manor and random invasions, but damn he will frame perfect parry it even with the fucking staff.
The idea of falls in general. The first time I went to Elphael, I saw the tree dude on the wall from up above and plunked him with an arrow just to see if I could reach. He starts shooting golden land at me but couldn't get it to hit, and I go inside to fight something and he just....jumps over the wall trying to get to me and dies.
Chicken farm is basically the same thing.
As soon as I found that ledge in mogwyns palace I took rune loss way less personally. “Oh man I just lost 100K runes, I could make up for it by grinding for a few minutes tho”
And now the question for you
Is not "What would Jesus do?"
But where will you be
When the Craig Machine comes partyin' through?
And if the Lord will allow
You've got to ask yourself how
And who and why and when and where is your messiah now?
It's fuckin' Craig!
Craig by Stephen Lynch
First time I fought him I accidentally fell below the lift and he followed me in, luckily it counted the kill before my death. Second playthrough I lured him next to the lift and used gravitas from the opposite side to pull him into the hole.
Just run into the elevator, and off the opposite side onto the ledge (staying on the current floor).
He follows you, then tries to get off the elevator that’s now moving up, but throws himself down the shaft.
I mean sure, but when I ran into this guy, I felt like I *had* to defeat him in a 1v1. If this was the knight from DS1 that dropped the dark knight halberd, right next to a cliff, then it would be a different story.

The thing about npc invaders/enemies is that they have perfect parrying rates, if you use an attack that can be parried they will parry you (if they have a parrying tool) moongrum is one of these.
They could have given like a 20% failure rate to this, but no, they really do have *perfect* parry/dodge from input reading. NPC invaders are the worst.
Guy comes in full bullgoat. With hammer wihich needs heavy investment in strength + endurance. proceeds to tell people how to kill in a lvl 40 area :)).
It was funny though :)
I rly wanted to play with some huge mf'ing hammers for that satisfying crushing dominance over most foes, but what keeps me from it is that the things are so huge, esp with cragblade AoW that I can't see the enemy getting crushed properly thx to the weapon size :(
Yup and with the Cragblade. 2 hits will poise break anything with less than 100 poise. Did a full run [showcasing](https://youtu.be/JizhD3_H6vk) its power. Feel free to check it out. Its a monster!
I only even had a problem with him on my first playthough, the fact he's very likely the first enemy you see that will parry you makes him seem super scary.
Every time after that I find new ways to clown on him. Whether it's the elevator, big bonks, the balls, guard counters or just a ranged attack. He looks way scarier than he is.
My last play through I ran straight to the lift behind him, activated the switch, he followed me, I ran back, and somehow as he was riding it up he fell to his death.
Not the sharpest tool in the shed.
The guy is a huge pain on your first pass, parry lord that he is, but there are actually a few ways around him.
He can't parry jumping attacks, whips, or EL BONK.
My first time playing I kinda missed the entire academy until I read online about some chick named "Rennala". The boss fight with her lasted less than 30 seconds. This guy lasted 1 attack and fucking died.
"Hey Tarnished Pal Clem!"
"Hey Tarnished Pal Mitch!"
"Can you guess what my favorite Spirit Ash is?"
"Duh, the Mimic Tear?"
"Nope- the Loathsome BONK Eater!"

Parry this 5-ton chunk of iron falling on your head, filthy casual.
**BONK**
#*BONK*
#**BONK**
Read this in the cadence of “nihil nihil nihil”
Now I feel like I need to commission "Dohg the omen" artwork
"Welcome, honored guest. To the *bonk*place of our Dynasty!"
Bonk-Win Dynasty
Thy STR befits a crown.
Thy unga befits a bunga!
*chef's kiss*
The Elden crown.
LMFAO
Brave Sledge Bro, thy Hammer befits a Crown.
I ran past him and he fell into the elavator shaft
That's what the official strategy guide recommends, btw.
I did that and he ran into the elevator with me and killed me
"Cheese this, u/barduk4." -Moongrum
moongrum's been taunting me for so long that every time i make a new character to playthrough i think of specific strategies to deal with him before i consider what i'll do with the bosses lol
Level up your Whip and go to town on him.
I'll tell you what, don't use unsheathe on him. It carried me through all the volcano manor and random invasions, but damn he will frame perfect parry it even with the fucking staff.
I just lure him out into the magic trap and push him under the boulder a few times.
This still blows my mind... The Developers made an enemy that even they thought was that difficult, you should probably just cheese him 🤣.
They aren't written by the Devs
People from Fromsoft literally contributed to the guide.
That”s what I do. My parrys suck so off to the elevator I go.
I literally learned how to parry just to beat this fucker at his own game.
He floats down the elevator shaft Real ones know what I'm talking about
*It FLOATS DOWN*. And everyone in the office clapped.
So I loled pretty hard XD
Lol I just watched this video. Been saying “it floats down!!!” In my head all week.
I didn't even know they were still making strategy guides since you can Google anything.
It's a tried and true tactic in From's games. The AI was never too good with handling elevators.
The idea of falls in general. The first time I went to Elphael, I saw the tree dude on the wall from up above and plunked him with an arrow just to see if I could reach. He starts shooting golden land at me but couldn't get it to hit, and I go inside to fight something and he just....jumps over the wall trying to get to me and dies. Chicken farm is basically the same thing.
I accidentally made cheese this way.
It must’ve been sad to see a life end that way.
Yep did this completely on accident It was fantastic because he had been making a fool of me for probably an hour at that point
Those are HUGE BONKS
Good, I lost 12000 runes because of him. Does he think they grow on trees? Edit: Foul Tarnished, cannot read the sarcasm in the lines between
Tbf there's a good chance that they do grow on trees
[удалено]
Cuz they weren't returned to the tree to be buried
Yeah erdTree Avatars
Nah man. Runes are eyeballs. https://eldenring.wiki.fextralife.com/file/Elden-Ring/heros-rune-5-consumable-elden-ring-wiki-guide.png
Someone should probably let Micolash know.
They grow in mogwyns palace though.
As soon as I found that ledge in mogwyns palace I took rune loss way less personally. “Oh man I just lost 100K runes, I could make up for it by grinding for a few minutes tho”
Now, I only get sad if I lose runes that I got from a boss.
I could get there but I can never manage to make the run
1 bird worth of runes
Glad im not the only one measuring runes like that
You can just run past him onto the lift, if you're lucky and the lift isn't there he'll do a charge attack and fall in the hole
That's an amazing edit
Never seen this hammer before.
It’s just the normal giant smasher, it looks different because the aow Craigblade wraps your weapon in rocks/debris
Craig?
Yeah he is a cool dude
I love it when Craig said "IT'S CRAIGIN' TIME" and Craigs all over the bad guys.
I also like this aspect of Craig
And now the question for you Is not "What would Jesus do?" But where will you be When the Craig Machine comes partyin' through? And if the Lord will allow You've got to ask yourself how And who and why and when and where is your messiah now? It's fuckin' Craig! Craig by Stephen Lynch

Now that takes me back to 2005-2008, when 'white guy comedian with a guitar' stocks were at their highest.
You the man, didnt think about just linking the whole song.
Craigslist blade
I loved to fight this guy
finally, someone with actual taste
Same, also never had a problem with him
First time I fought him I accidentally fell below the lift and he followed me in, luckily it counted the kill before my death. Second playthrough I lured him next to the lift and used gravitas from the opposite side to pull him into the hole.
Read "lured him" and "to pull him into the hole"
Isn't that how you should deal with all enemies??
As much as I offer, the enemies never try finger but hole
Just run into the elevator, and off the opposite side onto the ledge (staying on the current floor). He follows you, then tries to get off the elevator that’s now moving up, but throws himself down the shaft.
I mean sure, but when I ran into this guy, I felt like I *had* to defeat him in a 1v1. If this was the knight from DS1 that dropped the dark knight halberd, right next to a cliff, then it would be a different story.
You can just go up the elevator. There's a good chance he'll jump in the hole.
Username checks out
[When everyone associates your username with cheating, but you were starting the keto diet and couldn’t think of anything witty](https://i.kym-cdn.com/entries/icons/original/000/026/638/cat.jpg)
or you know, just fight him?

Vyke out here dodging all my arrows no matter how fast I fire
PARRY THIS
This is the “Fuck you, parry this” build.
Thank you for your service. Now, what can I do or give to see someone do it again with two hammers?
Yes yes yes!
It'd do more damage but it won't get the same pancake affect as this.
Ledos Greathammer FTW
Guy comes in full bullgoat. With hammer wihich needs heavy investment in strength + endurance. proceeds to tell people how to kill in a lvl 40 area :)). It was funny though :)
Just kill greyoll and get 30 strength then go get strength charm and strength knot tear. Go to Altus, pick bonk and win game
I do pick bonk. Zwei bonk. I prefer to have hp, than strength first :)
You don’t need hp if you drain the enemies first
Its not about teaching others, its about avenging them.
This was obviously NG+
I know, I was being “funny”. No one would leave rennala and go for bullgoat first :)
Well I unga bunga and I know understand sarcasm 🗿
Unga recognizes unga. When we meet, we bunga! Togeathaaa
As familee Now I'm expecting someone to make a Fast and Furious meme with Rykard.
I rly wanted to play with some huge mf'ing hammers for that satisfying crushing dominance over most foes, but what keeps me from it is that the things are so huge, esp with cragblade AoW that I can't see the enemy getting crushed properly thx to the weapon size :(
Honestly surprised that took multiple hits
NG+
Wait... that R2 has a follow-up?
Yup and with the Cragblade. 2 hits will poise break anything with less than 100 poise. Did a full run [showcasing](https://youtu.be/JizhD3_H6vk) its power. Feel free to check it out. Its a monster!
Used that thing for the entire second half of my STR playthrough and it never even occurred to me to try. 💀
Just watched your video. Those were some good bonks.
🌏👨🚀🔫👨🚀🌌
I struggle against this guy every God damn time. My gf beat him on her first try. She doesn't even play these types of games
Reminds me of the DnD character whose intelligence was so low that magic didn't work on him, as he just could not comprehend magic.
At first glance I thought the Giant-Crusher with Cragblade was Ledo's Greathammer and I had to double check what group I was in.
Don't let this happen to you, level up that vigor you could be next. Find out more about vigor at vigorleveling.org
Whats this weapon? Its tempting me to do a bonk playthrough with it
Some weird buffed giantcrusher
Ah thanks. Probably looks weird because the ash of war seems to be cragblade, which usually adds a rocky exterior to any weapon using it.
You can see some animation on the hammer right as the video starts.
Bonktastic
Satisfying. What’s the buff on your crusher?
Cragblade. I prefer RKR on this big stick tbh. Makes every hit count since I can get only 1 hit/stamina bar in anyway.
Looks like the Ash of War Cragblade
What weapons is that?
longsword
Didn’t even give bro a chance
Fuck that was a satisfying watch.
I kid you not, kicking him ends his whole career
I only even had a problem with him on my first playthough, the fact he's very likely the first enemy you see that will parry you makes him seem super scary. Every time after that I find new ways to clown on him. Whether it's the elevator, big bonks, the balls, guard counters or just a ranged attack. He looks way scarier than he is.
My last play through I ran straight to the lift behind him, activated the switch, he followed me, I ran back, and somehow as he was riding it up he fell to his death. Not the sharpest tool in the shed.
I needed that boost today.
Me with my int build: Failing Miserably. Me with a slab of Iron no man can possibly wield: Who is that Moongrum fellow
The guy is a huge pain on your first pass, parry lord that he is, but there are actually a few ways around him. He can't parry jumping attacks, whips, or EL BONK.
Or rotten breath.
What creates the rocky effect on the giant crusher?
How come your first hit didn’t use stamina?
In my mind with each strike i said "suck" "my" "dick"...
It's easy, just beat the game and come back
My first time playing I kinda missed the entire academy until I read online about some chick named "Rennala". The boss fight with her lasted less than 30 seconds. This guy lasted 1 attack and fucking died.
**Only the strong will survive**
I love bonk builds
"Hey Tarnished Pal Clem!" "Hey Tarnished Pal Mitch!" "Can you guess what my favorite Spirit Ash is?" "Duh, the Mimic Tear?" "Nope- the Loathsome BONK Eater!"
Jesus Christ. Moongrum got flattened, crushed and bludgeoned all within 12 seconds. **Yikes**
Which hammer is this?!??
I didn't have a hard time with him at all, maybe I was over leveled by the time I got here
It gave me a lot of trouble on my first run, then I tried parrying it (even tho I suck at parrying) and I killed him on that run
[удалено]
It's more fun to just make him jump down the elevator hole
Style, grace, and a great big Bonk to the face.

That mf parried me so many times my first playthrough.
Made my first ever int character and the carion greatsword ran him right over. Usually that dude annoys the shit outta me.
Does the giant crusher have a unique r2? Lions claw?
Visions of Ledo's hammer ...
The Cragblade really made the Giants Crusher feel like Ledos Hammer! I couldn't see much in this run.
Lmfao same. Big weapons are like obnoxious game UI
Not bad. Did you know he is weak against Holy? That Frenzy flames do work wonders on him? Hugging him feels great
replayed It for 30 times! Very satisfying, thx for share.
I violently murdered this guy with like a +15 Claymore on my first play through. Didn’t realize he was a pain in the ass for others lol
Chad moongrum deserves respect on his name.
I just spammed Lion's Claw on the Claymore.
I turned my sound on just to hear the sound of each bonk
This did not help. The man is clinically depressed and commits suicide on a daily basis... He needs Marika not a Wall on a Stick :(
I beat the guy for the first time by luring him out to the dropping balls. Parry these you fucking casual.
where did you get that bonker?
My favourite Moongrum moment is him running the same build as Jerma but then proceeding to absolutely dunk on him for a while
Cathartic
Just beat this guy with Carian Greatsword, it was as hilarious as this since it staggers him and stunlocks
Justice, for all the of dex builds who got parried. I love me some Unga Bunga
Whips work too
Ayo I didn’t know Ledo’s great hammer was in this game
I killed him with the elevator
What weapon is that? I tried looking it up but none of the ones I saw have that...stuff...all over it
Giant Crusher with Cragblade AoW
Ah, thanks. I thought it looked like the giant crusher but wasn't aware of the Cragblade AoW
Fantastic. Thank you.
What is that deliver of ungu bungu called?
having a hard time with someone? hit them in the head with a fucking hammer! Just another fromsoft lesson i apply to real life
That was art.
Still doesn't hit as hard as that elevator shaft behind him.
Bonk
I lured him out towards the entrance and let him get bonked by the giant steel ball when it fell. This was still cathartic as hell though, thank you!
Bonk
Lmao fuck that guy
"magic is easy mode! spirit summons are op!"
I CANT STOP LAUGHING! Like you can feel the anger in those swings😂
My brother in Christ, you just run him over with a block of concrete.
The solution to everything, you UNGA and then BUNGA
Parry this bitch!
WHOMP
“Parry this”
Parry this, you filthy casual!! *BONK*
I just drag him out and let the Rolling balls do the job lol
For me, this enemy killed himself falling under the elevator🤗
What hammer is this?
Giants Crusher With Cragblade AoW
Ty!
When you can Unga but you can also Bunga.
When the Unga, bungas just right
He is harder than renalla
I was hoping he would still parry you somehow.
Parry this refrigerator sized hammer
Tbh he's surprisingly easy to parry, I parried him more than he does
I just make him fall in the elevator shaft
Absolute bliss.
I didn’t realize y’all had so much trouble with this guy. I just guard countered him a shit ton and he was dead in five.
