Imagine that after two exhausting waves Elden Ring NightregumYou and several companions reach the boss at the end of the second night and you take him with surprisingly good results. He approaches half of his health, and before Knight Crucible enters its aggressive secondary phase, another health belt is populated on the screen. It is a hungry, hungry hippopotama to ruin your heated streak.
There is nothing more demoralizing than the golden hippopotam. Elden Ring Nightregum Boss fight. Golden Hippo, a field head who first appeared in Elden Ring: Shadow of the Erdtree DLC is a huge hippot with a horn of rhinoceros and pitbull cruelty. It has only three attacks – hippo beaten, hippo Rush and Fanged Charge – but they are all tenacious, they exploit their speed and size to force players to constantly avoid. The load attack is particularly complex, in which players are chewed and spit out in a long animation, which causes destructive injuries.
It just hurts the sight of the golden hippopotam, which of course is not good for the group’s morale. Suddenly everyone becomes sloppy, all our vigor has disappeared, and now we are forced to deal with the novel attack pattern of our original enemy, along with the novel boss raging around us. Everything becomes more complex, as if the game sensed that everything was too basic for us and decided to throw a curve – how Director mechanic with He left 4 dead or something.
This hippopotam smells, and I don’t like him, but I’m not alone either. In fact, I realized that fans call this disgusting nuisance Erdtree shadow Expansion (what, full disclosure, I did not move).
In its original form from ErdtreeThe golden hippopotam is a challenge for completely different reasons than in Elden Ring Nightregum. First of all, he welcomes players in a restricted room, which does not allocate almost enough square materials to gracefully fight the enemy of the hippopot and avoid all great bombing attacks. Secondly, due to the tight space and unpredictable movement, the camera also becomes an enemy, because it wildly sticks into the walls and does not focus very well on a closed boss. But above all, the movements of Golden Hippo include degreasing golden feathers from the back and shooting at you like arrows. It turns out, in ErdtreeThis hippopotam has more to do with a hedgehog or hedgehog than a rhino or pitbull. (What’s worse, other variants of the golden hippopotam without golden incantation appear three more times in the whole of the DLC.)
“This is the only boss who does not allow you to breathe, he always flared you,” said one player in YouTube miniature Contains a streamer from Golden Moo Deng Erdtree shadow. “Hate struggling with this boss, but I finally felt so good,” said one of the players in the commentary. “Yes, just overcome the thick hippopotam at level 130, so annoying and I saw 3 of them,” someone else.

Meanwhile in NightreignSome described Crucible Knight and Golden Hippopotamus as “the worst boss Day 2”. There are even some who expressed Frustrations conquering a duo after defeating an historic Boss dragon, the boss fight itself. “After death, a new fight with many bosses begins with Crucible Knight + The Hippo?
Although players can meet with a golden hippopotam Nightreign I only saw how he appeared during my fights with Crucible Knight. But if tag-team masters Nightreign Have they ever appeared after defeating an ancient dragon? I am afraid that I will have to wish my friends luck and stare at a storm vigorously until I finished on a round table.
