The GOAT of Sekiro has already soloed Elden Ring Nightreign's final boss as its katana-parrying samu
By Dr. Eleanor Vance | Published on December 04, 2025
Souls YouTuber Ongbal, known for their singularly stylish, often flawless play in Dark Souls, Elden Ring, and especially Sekiro, is back for Elden Ring Nightreign. One day after sharing their first solo run of the three-person co-op game, Ongbal posted their first solo victory against Nightreign's final boss. Spoilers for that boss below.
Being a Sekiro enthusiast who often opts for katana builds in other Souls games, Ongbal naturally favors the Executor in Nightreign. This katana edgelord's unique ability shifts him into a special stance that enables Sekiro-style timed blocks, as distinct from the big to-do of Elden Ring's high risk, high reward [[link]] parries.
Nightreign's final boss, Heolstor, starts out in a sluggish, "oooh I'm just a decrepit tragic king don't hurt me" mode reminiscent of Vendrick from Dark Souls 2. He naturally launches into a "Haha, I'm actually a killer instinct anime sword god" mode once you deplete his first health bar—think Lady Maria in Bloodborne or Gael phase 2 in Dark Souls 3. We're playing the hits.
This isn't a no-hit fight—that's probably coming later—but Ongbal makes pretty short work of the bloke. I don't think Heolstor gave me the most trouble of Nightreign's bosses—that prize goes to either Gaping Jaw or Darkdrift Knight—but it's an incredible battle visually, and I'm particularly impressed at how well Ongbal kept their cool once the mega final boss particle effects started flying.
It's early days for Nightreign, and I can't wait to see what else Ongbal has [[link]] in store. As a Dex build katana sicko myself, they give me something to aspire to. You can subscribe to Ongbal on YouTube to catch those triumphs as they come.
