>>483430348Yeah
Anyone not on team Marika gets the gas chamber
post your player character bros
>>483430496Just dodge?
Bros????
Fucking finally there after 5 daysNow to beat my head against the wall.
>>483430585
>FIRE Knight's Greatsword reaches it's highest damage potential with Sacred Blade using lightning enhancement>can't even put on Flaming Strike>enhancing it with fire is still weaker despite the description saying "Further flame imbuement will amplify the effect and greatly increase the armament's power"What is Miyazaki's major malfunction bro
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HO_SQfOj5SYDLC IS SO HAR....HOLD MY ESTUS FLASK
For some reason, I really suck at dodging grabs in general.
>>483430569You're turbo based, godspeed bro
I don't even know who the fuck this is.
>>483430083Even the white phantoms are bullgoat monsters with fingerprint shields it's kinda insane, I just don't understand why poise hasn't been deleted fromt he game
Marika fucked millions btw
uhhhh
how do I make a dank perfumer build?
>>483430591chills
>>483430591This picture ruined me, I remember about it every time they say it now
>>483430712Just some noble who wants to save his Lord.
>>483430748Were you one of them?
st. trina quest is peak fromsoft pretentiousness>kill yourself at the same NPC 10 times for 3 lines of dialogue and that's itokay
There's zero proof they weren't in love
>>483430591If you didn't use prattling pate "I'm sorry" on these bosses, ydbtg
>>483430389Radahn is not gay lol
>full int/fth>completely replace health potions with mana potionsyou have 30 seconds to tell me why this wouldn't work.
Bros why won't the summon signs appear?I helped Hornsent against Leda and completed the interaction between Ansbach and Freyja but Leda wasn't at Highroad Cross.Some were saying that after beating Messmer and exhausting the Hornsent's dialogue, Leda appeared at Highroad Cross for them but I only found a letter from her telling me where to go and that she has business to take care of which I assume is killing Ansbach but the signs aren't here.Is my questline fucked?
>Invade>Bugs out and doesn't search for an invasion>Invade again>Failed to join session>Invade again>Failed to join session>Invade again>crash
Did we get any good dex weapons? I haven't found any yet.
Did not like the putrescent knight fight, did not like the lion, did not like gaius, did not like Radahn.
>>483430689>OngbalMight as well as post a video of Usain bolt sprinting and telling everyon e
>>483430903are you joking
>>483430496>Holy Star Shower with more projectiles >Huge AoE blast that targest from 1 million miles awayFuck dude
>>483430871animation delay on heal (im literally using a white mage right now, still have 4 red pots (2 coop) for emergency)
So the statue was Radahn the whole time?
>>483430585Only level 80 but here's what I have so far. I will be stealing more drip combos from these posts
>>483430712How are you liking the Sword Lance? I'm a Fingerprint + Epee enjoyer and I heard the Sword Lance was good.
>>483430689truly built differentmotherfucker makes it look so easy
>>483430689The amount of coping with this video is already stellar
>>483430728Trying way too hard, just say that you want FROM to remove pvp and be done with it.
>>483430980No
>>483430823Miquella can make anyone "love" him. Except for (You).
>>483430886I've heard conflicting reports saying you can complete both questlines, but in my playthrough I killed Hornsent, Leda was still at Highroad Cross, talked to her and she said we need to kill Ansbach, then proceeded as usual.
>>483430787>guts cosplayer
>>483430807>st. trina quest is peak fromsoft pretentiousnesshonestly>did it twice to see if anything would change>nope>actually you need to do it 4 times to get dialogue, 6 times for the entire 'quest'
>>483430585I fell for the great katana meme and deal no damage. I don't know how to make it work. makes me want to just go back to the backhand sword despite liking it aesthetically.
>>483431058Then why did he have to go to all the trouble with Mohg
>>483430585The only new spell I like is gravitational missile, feels fucking bad man.
>>483431005Considering Miquella only gave a half assed attempt at bringing the golden bro back with a random ancient ritual?Yeah, likely.
You must become an asshole to achieve godhood.Fucking gay.
>>483430675>Further flame imbuementis that talking about infusions or buffing spells?also there's 2 different fire infusions, are they both weak?
>invade>host and 2 phantoms>caster with big pointy hat>big fat-rolling dude with huge shield and armor>fast dex dude dashing around everywherekino I love RPG tropes
Finger ruins of Rhea looks like the black flame seal, because it chose its own empyrean, who became the Gloam Eyed Queen to ascend,but was beaten to the gate by Marika, who was Metyrs Empyrean.GEQ continued with her plan of plotting to usurp Marika, resulting in her creating the god slayer blade and birthing the godskin apostles.The black flame ritual spell image, if you look carefully at the centre, shows what looks like a woman holding a child aloft whilst dancing in the flames, implying she was the mother to the apostles.She eventually teamed up with Ranni who also wanted to be free from the Greater wills influence, and her way just happened to coincide with the GEQs goal of killing Marika. That’s why Melina gives you torrent and Ranni gives you the wolves.Oh yeah did I mention that Melina is the GEQ? It’s a lore hint that the gods literally wrote into the earth, don’t know how anyone could miss this
>>483431218>le god corrupts You can already see that with Marika
>>483431148He mind controlled Mohg into sequestering himself in an underground fortress defended by the blood cult while he prepared for his shadowlands adventure
HEART STOLENEARTSTOLEN
>>483430871Because you're just a shittier and more stat hungry faith build.
>>483430695Not him, but in exchange for Radahn being the consort, Miquella will make sure that "both [his] deeds will ever be praised in song". That's the deal as per the opening cutscene for the battle.
>>483431312It happened to me even before the dlc...
>>483430591The difference is most of these characters we were around before this and we know why thay have such a deep connetion to the person they say this to. Nanaya being the exception ,we know nothing about her
>>483431312i dont get it why are femboys so powerful?
>>483430797I wish he wasn't such a useless cunt.
>>483430871Healing and weapon buff incantations don't scale off your seal's INT scaling so your healing won't be as effective as pure FTH. FROM hates you.
Weep for this man. Nothing in his dream came true. Not even Prime Radahn because we fought a Radahn in his prime.>The golden armor worn by Radahn in his younger years.>younger yearsMeaning that wasn't his Malenia armor.
>phase 2holy fuck this is hard as a caster
Can someone explain to me what the deal was with metyr's quest?>Sends me on a journey to ring bells>Last bell is under his church>Ring it>Kill whatever monstrosity was there>He's now mad and I had to kill him and the waifuWho was the girl that invaded me at first? Did I fuck up the quest somehow lol?
cool
>>483430953what happened to this post? is candlejack in this thr
>>483431295Again, why didn't he mindcontrol Radahn from the start if that's what he's been doing with Mohgdahn
The Death Knight's Longhaft Axe is:>a fth scaling lightining weapon>with long ass range>that looks pretty>and has a nice weapon art>the boss you have to kill for it is fun tooWtf Miyazaki you're supposed to be a cunt, not giving me exactly what I wanted the base game to have. Like the flaming strike equivalent for colossal swords wasn't enough already?That said, can you turn off in any way those deathblight trap statues? They don't seem to take any damage, but I haven't found any off switch anywhere in the dungeon.
>>483430585second playthrough, going for an arcane build just to try it outlight roll + mohg spearwill try out Eleonora's Poleblade next, it seems cool
>>483431273Meli Meli is using a miracle only Marika knows, she's just Marika's daughter
>>483430496>he still bothers with guaranteed gank squad invasionsSorry bro invasions were killed in DS3, it's overTo the colosseum with ye
Which shadow keep grace leads to the storehouse back section grace?
>>483431031Has an A in strength scaling on a heavy infusion, pretty nice. Hits some pretty gnarly guard-counters with the curved sword and spear talismans and all my buff incantations.
>>483431021eccentric set is based enough
That's in the black keep, do I just kill that guy?
>>483431519you fool what have yo
>>483430871Because incantation healings are slow as shit so the boss will fuck your ass 3 times before you can finish casting it, unless you have butt buddies or a spirit ash to take aggro off you in which case just download an AI to play the game for you.
>>483431005Yes, it has wavy hair
>>483431641>mfw no double pay
Speaking of Seals, I heard they buffed the scaling on the Clawmark. Does that mean it's okay for STR builds to use incants now?
>>483431528Radahn wasn't stupid enough to get within raping reach like Mohg was. Radahn grew up with Mickey and knows what a deranged freak he is.
>>483430591Who is Nanaya?
is it true that Miquella and Radahn had sex?
>>483431489Yeah, young Radahn explains the size difference. We're literally fighting a teenager. Nice final boss Memehackzi.
>>483431791No, you kill them on Marika's orders before they get to do anything.
How do you make a build around cross naginata?
>>483431740Wait, what's the order? Mohg snuck in and was about to rape, so Miquella charmed him into raping him gently elsewhere?
>>483430675did you check fire or flame art infusion? It has native fth scaling, so I would expect erdsteel dagger-type effect with flame art but not fire
>>483431718>Does that mean it's okay for STR builds to use incants now?Yes, but by the time you get enough fth to actually cast most incants worth using you're already a str/fth build.
>>483431648Use the Occultation on him for a sword, Grace on him for a Spirit Ash
>>483431490* to be very clear I don't mean spamming night comet lads. I don't know if I can do this (without summoning actual people(no))
>>483431771just another hyetta
>>483431593>meanwhile, the colosseum:
>>483431641>>483431715I would have KILLED for a feathered tellerbarret what is fromsoft doing.
>>483431803Are you being stupid on purpose? He's the same size as Mohg because it's Mohg's fucking body. Holy shit.
>>483431803why is mohg dressed like he's going to go to his first day of middle school
Cute and canon>>483429321If means it SEEKS a vessel, implies even more that at one point it is bodyless. Just like Radahn's soul. Radahn's soul SEEKS a body to open the Gate of Divinity for Miquella to enter.
>>483431923Fuck I only had one occultation and used it alreadyThanks anyway
>>483431803>I'm sorry Radahn, I had to rezz you in Mohg's way smaller body. Your old one had a cock far too big for my holes.>Also couldn't bring the horse lolsorry.
>>483431894>Mohg snuck in and was about to rapeFor all we know Mickey invited Mohg over for a quick chat about things.
>>483431771NANAYA BUSINESS X^D
>>483431923I ahve 2x Occultation and 2x Grace. Are there really 3 other NPCs like this to use them on?
>>483430389what perfume bottle should i upgrade to rape radahn
tips for (assumed DLC final boss) Radahn 2 please, what are his elemental weaknesses? I can't tell if he's not bleeding because I'm not hitting enough to proc it or if he literally doesn't bleed.phase 2 just feels like it's massively overwhelming
>>483430748>>483430802She birthed billions too
Sorry chuds, Elden Ring is about trans rights, every single demigod is related with trans issues.
>Not even a praise from Radahn about how well we fought like GodfreyLazysoft
>>483430823https://youtu.be/6uT8wGtB3yQ?t=84I'd rather there have never been a DLC. For 2.5 years I've been dealing with Mohgfags now I have to deal with Radahnfags along with Miquella is Griffith/rapist fags.Miquella deserves a better game.
Bros I just killed Rellana but I've found no lore about her ingame.Does all the shit you talk about in this thread get revealed later in the dlc or did I manage to miss a shitload of lore on the way to fort ensis?
Doesn't Radahn coming back here imply that his soul returned to the Crucible after his death and Miquella fished it back out?
>>483432189lightning
>>483432182Only ones I'm aware of are him and Jolan
>Kill it>lmao jk>kill it again>jk bro>kill it a third timeWhat was skibidi's problem?
https://www.videogamer.com/guides/elden-ring-shadow-of-the-erdtree-how-many-endings/>Yes, Shadow of the Erdtree does have multiple endings, though we currently don’t know how many that will be. In interviews prior to the DLC’s release, it was confirmed by Elden Ring director Hidetaka Miyazaki that the DLC will not feature one definite ending, but multiple that will change based on certain decisions the player makes.???
so the dragon chick only reacts differently to you if you have killed Placidussax before speaking to her?
>>483431983I don't know what the problem is because I just don't bother with PvP since DS3, so you gonna have to explain to me.Is it because they're poisemaxing? That's been the meta since always.
>>483432219true, every irredeemably evil and vile person in Elden Ring is a trannyMiyazaki knows
>>483432202Lightning maybe. As for status, he's weak to all of them, but in Phase 2 all his status get's cured and reset.
>>483432220Radahn's canonically a sore loser so he's probably seething internally about getting his asshole turned inside out by a rando twice in a row.
>Previous Radahn>dying of Scarlet Rot>being mad for probably years>still holding stars back>boss mechanics are all about how he's a massive one-man army and how he's carving through an army sent to slay him>Now Radahn>just a jank boss>only special mechanics are related to the femboy on his back>no horse
hol up, int faith...I COULD just spam night comet...but, its not on theme...
>>483431912Is the difference noticeable? I remember being very disappointed with Beast Incants on a str build since even with the beast buff it felt like the seal scaling was still mostly faith.
>>483432236Did you access the archives in Roundtable Hold? They have dozens of lore entries. But you can only unlock them BEFORE accessing the DLC, if you haven't unlocked them yet, your current character is locked out.
>>483432213>that faceis this really what gets you faggots going
>>483432340Cut content.
>>483431740Where are your sources
Is this thing good? I feel like it is but I'm not sure.
>>483431552>>483432305nice armor and weapons bros
anyone use backhand blade to beat the DLC?
>>483432497Yes?
>>483432335I didn't mind since he got weaker with every phase.
>>483432540he cute
>>483431912>yeah she was ahhh Rennala's sister>and they invented the ahhh twin moon sorcery btw here's its third spellThere's your lore bro
>>483432134how does one come up with an idea as dumb as this whole campaing being a giant LARP for Radahn's entertainment and Miquella's gay incest sex story?
>>483432549I'm trying to find it but I can't. Anyway, tracking seems great for PvP.
is star lined sword worth putting the two levels I need into INTI'm usually into greatswords but flashy swords with anime attacks are always cool
>>483432340Dataminers did find heaps of cut content related to alt endings
>>483432427nta, the whatnow?
boob jumpscare
>>483432595For some reason he respawned at full health on one of my runs.
>>483432398You forget that people lose their edge when they get married.
>create DLC>advertise it as being interesting>cut everything interesting a week before it comes outWhat is this business strategy called?
>>483431947It would help if we knew what build / weapons / spells you're using.
>>483432771
>Radahn gets mindraped by Scarlet Rot for centuries and then finally put to rest by the Tarnished and his bro Jerren>brought back to be mindraped by MiquellaI actually wish we could summon Jerren for the last fight and he had some involvement in the DLC somehow, it would've been appropriate at least
>>483432497If you aren't attracted to plastic-faced bimbos you need to get your testosterone levels checked
why are we not able to choose where we invade but yellows get to choose where to be summoned
>>483431489>KrekkovHe make any Miquella pics?
>>483432818It's a "we aren't writers so this shit doesn't make sense, leave the enemies and locations but cut out the lore and make it """vague""" then people will think it's smart".
someone found out the lighting bottle build you guys have been using. and he did it all by himself btw. world record and shit. totally didnt came from other sources at all but him.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=v20jFYM0nLI
>>483432497Yea
>>483432340Please understand.... small... and indie....
>>483432931Radahn was in on it, Freyja pretty much makes it clear.
>>483432226The worst part is how the trailers baited something completely different.
>>483432931Where is he being mindraped?
>>483432340>>483432695Just how many unfinished games do we have to go through, why was Sekiro the only fully realized game
what do you use empyrean blood burgeon for?
>>483432974>Playback on other websites has been disabled by the video ownerWhy?
>>483431803yo Mohg has that W Ohio rizz, blud
Anybody want to discuss LORE?>who is Messmer's dad>when was Messmer's campaign >how did Bayle end up in the shadow realm>why did we fight a Scarlet Rot literally who instead of the scorpion avatar mentioned in the base game>what exactly is St Trina>what was the actual deal between Miquella and Radahn
>>483432882i posted my build already yesterday, white mage, holy magic, golden order sword (for now) epitath offhand for last rites, etcetera
>>483432497I think you shouldn't be calling anyone a faggot
>>483432668I'm not sure I remember correctly but enter the keep from the drained church district through the lift and it should be there somewhere.
>>483432575that's like the 2nd most popular DLC build next to the dragon great katana.
>>483432134Mohg probably fucked miquella's corpse at one point so he's probably ready for itDid miquella plan that as well?
>>483432398He got jammed into a way smaller and more puny body, it's like he went from a 99 STR 99 END 99 VIG build to having to a meta appropriate level.
>>483432213>>483432986SEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEX
Unfightable. Just like Ranni's original body.
>>483433018Unironically because Activision told them "you do you bro, take as much time as you need" while Bamco still puts deadlines on them
>>483432426>I remember being very disappointed with Beast IncantsYeah well, you're gonna be disappointed by those even with 80fth, erdtree seal in the mainhand and clawmark in the offhand.
>>483432954putrescent knight is the worst offender for me, item description are dumb, he comes out of nowhere and has zero significance
>>483432818Watch them make another DLC with cut content kekw
>>483433085>who is Messmer's dadRadagon>when was Messmer's campaignBefore the shattering, after Godfrey became Elden Lord>how did Bayle end up in the shadow realmHe was near death, I guess>why did we fight a Scarlet Rot literally who instead of the scorpion avatar mentioned in the base gameShe has a scorpion tail, though?>what exactly is St TrinaMiquella's other half>what was the actual deal between Miquella and RadahnFujo fanfiction, pay it no mind
>>483433080who knows. maybe he loves the views or anything. he's a vshitter after all.
>>483432220he's literally a meat puppet that exists as schizo miquella's ideal vision of Radahn. The ending memory is Miquella by himself praying, there's no indication Radahn ever agreed to whatever retarded deal he came up with, as proven by the fact Miquella then sent Malenia to kill himFreyja is also the Leda equivalent for radahn, delusional fangirl. Jerren should have been in the DLC to help put an end to the fuckery like Mohg's guy was
>>483433206You can go fight him right now, issue is he can't have a healthbar if he's already FUCKING DEAD.
>>483432497>>483433278Im not even mad if they do another expansion desu
>>483432236Well if you have pattern recognition capabilities above that of a toddler, you could deduce that Rellana is actually Rennalas projected avatar, similar to Morgott using Margitt, because it’s unbecoming for royalty to be seen on the frontlines.Also, did you know that it’s better to pick aliases that sound like your name or have the same initials. That way, it’s harder for you to be caught out by someone calling your real name when you can claim you heard your fake name, and having the same initials makes it easier to use your own signature
>>483432427>But you can only unlock them BEFORE accessing the DLCWtf you better be fucking trolling me
>>483433178>Yes horny demon. Fuck my headless body for over 2 months straight. I will now bite off a piece of your dick and graft it to mine. It shall be my tool to murderfuck our kids.
Should I upgrade fingerprint or vedigris for consort radahn? vedigris is lighter and has a higher guard boost but worse holy defense
Why don't Flame Spear and Skewer scale with Fire infusion dammit that's such bullshit.
Hello anons, this is MiquellaThe rumors about me and Radahn are not true. He is just my champion.
Invasions would be a lot more fun if a third of your invasions didnt place you right outside the boss door
>>483433085>who is Messmer's dadSome random that Marika fucked>when was Messmer's campaign Before the Shattering, after the war with the fire giants>how did Bayle end up in the shadow realmPlacidusax and him got into a fight and it ended in a stalemate. Bayle left seething to get stronger in the Shadow Realms>why did we fight a Scarlet Rot literally who instead of the scorpion avatar mentioned in the base gameShe's the scorpion avatar.>what exactly is St TrinaThe "good" side of Miquella that he split from to become a God>what was the actual deal between Miquella and RadahnNo one knows, no even Miyazaki. He'll probably bullshit up an answer in an interview or design works comment in a year, when he figures it out.
>>483432046CUTE and CANON!!!!

>>483433447>he isn't a STR/FTH chad
Me curious what other unused demigods like Messmer there are.
>>483433561Compare the damage to casting Catch Flame twice.
>Well, I am much obliged. I can hardly believe it, he's divested himself of his very eye... Tender Miquella's eye is no mere morsel of flesh. It is a vessel of soaring grace. Proof of his Empyrean lineage. I wonder, does Miquella the Kind intend to sever his very birthright? His fate as a child of the Erdtree?Does this explain Messmer, Melina, Ranni eye things or is it unique to MIquella?
>>483433251>and has zero significanceActually he has plenty, the entire area is designed like so many other shit infested holes in FROM games as a way of theming.It's where all the discarded, unwanted, unwashed, horrible things get dumped off to.It's so that you'll realize how big a piece of shit Miquella is for yeeting St Trina down there.Just be happy it wasn't another poison swamp.
>>483432398he became the horse
>>483433450It's too late you've been drawn with your bussy blasted it's in all the newspapers
>>483433363>he's literally a meat puppetWhere does it say this?
>
>>483433645I would really rather prefer if people didn't describe Miquella as "Tender"
>>483433010yeah the trailers were very heavily implying that you would be able to work with miquella at the very least, if not become his consort yourself. then in the dlc, nope. you're just cucked by radahn of all people out of nowhere and now you're forced to fight miquella. no decisions allowed. god forbid you actually want to cooperate with the one unambiguously good and kind hearted character in the universe
>>483433561it turns your mouth upside down while casting for some reason
I just fought the Death Knight and circled around him with a greatshield and the misericorde and filtered him with the power of backstabs.
Nah senpai they wanna make Radahn that fucking bullshit, he's going to die to some cheese.
If Miyazaki decides to do another game, would FROM and Bandai still leave a team to do more DLCs for Elden Ring based on unused material just to get more money? Elden Ring is really successful sales wise.
I should be the summon and my mimic should be the main character. He should be the glorious hero if this journey. He deserves all the praise. I should be the one who gets summoned just to get a few hits in, all in pursuite of the mimic's glory. And it would be my honour to help my mimic on his journey through whatever he attempts to do.
>>483433003>freyja makes it clearJerren was closer to Radahn and knew his actual wish, Freyja got charmed by Miquella and was just a bodyguard back in the day
>>483433703BAAAAAAAAAAYLEEEEEE YOU GODDAMN NIGGEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEER
>>483433732Okay then. I will refer to him as Tenderized Miquella.
messmer's spear is the most annoying thing ever in invasionsgod damn fuck this
>>483433703BAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAYLE
>>483433776like what brolet me in on the secrets

>>483433648that reminds me, did we get a deathblight or sleep swamp that insta kills you because falling asleep in water causes drowning?
>>483433868I'm bringing out the rot
>>483433783I'm going to bet the next souls game from them would be another ER, the only way it wouldn't be is if they are tired of the open world thing and don't want to make a game with that much effort required again. I doubt it though since it did so well.

>>483430823Miquella literally sent his beloved twin sister, which he sacrificed everything including his standing in the Golden Order to find a way to heal, to kill him so that he can become a God of Purity within the Haligtree and heal Godwyn of his Deathblight and her of her Scarlet Rot.He is antithetical to everything Miquella stands for, and was a staunch traditionalist who supported the old Order by holding the stars (which control fate) in stasis so no new Order can take it's place. He even modeled his armor after the former Elden Lord Godfrey (even his lion Serosh) and Radagon. If there was anyone he wanted to be with, it was Marika.The only reasons he was shoehorned in is so that Miquella could be made into an antagonist despite his intentions being noble and pure from the outset, bunch of what-if battle people wanted to fight a prime Radahn, Miyazaki, Lord of Blasphemy wants his series to remain edgy and not have a happy ending, and first and foremost to cuck the Tarnished to serve the demoralization agenda of the shareholder corpos in From's inner circle.This is the worst DLC ever made in gaming history and the most disappointed I've ever felt for anything in my entire life.

>>483434216Radahn himself doesn't say anything to miquella that can be twisted in a gay way so they're just going to assume it's miquella's one-sided obsession and MC

>>483434428Ymir quite literally tells you the entire Golden Order is the result of it schizoing out and seeing signs that never really existed. The whole reason it birthed the rest of the Two Fingers was to stop being lonely after the Greater Will abandoned her. Nobody ever communicated with it.

Why did Miquella do anything? Why not just rule the Halgitree and go to the Land of Shadows on his own. Does he need Mohg's dick to enter?
>>483435283Doesn't she kill them because the only people who would make the venture there are people trying to kill her for glory or her rune?
>>483435405Only copious amounts of homosexual sex allow one to enter the Land of Shadow.

>>483434996Malenia is an Empyrean, she is meant to be a god and not a lord. She would be a god of a new order, same as Miquella, but she chose to serve him instead.

>sunflower phase two actuallyMIYAZAKI YOU FUCKER
>>483433085Meesmers dad is the Firegiant. The trailer spoke of a seduction and betrayal, the old lady in Belurat said they were betrayed and burnt. First thing Marika did after attaining godhood was to seduce the Firegiant, get pregnant and birth Mesmer, who used his powers and his fathers fire golems to shoah the big horned chosen people.Marika then turned on the giants after establishing her Erdtree order, and had her new husband and son Mesmer wipe out the fire giants to protect the tree, as shown by the impaled dead giants on the mountain top. After being forced to wipe out his own kind, Mesmer was then banished to the ShadowrealmThis makes Marika even more of a sociopath, and in line with some of GRRMs other female characters, as well as the Manus fragment queens in DS2
>>483435389>*remembers roofing section*It's anything but a straight line.
Miquella was getting some nice and interesting characterization in the dlc but they drop the ball so hard in the final boss fight, the descriptions from the rewards suck and the whole thing is nonsense.>>483435405the writers needed a convoluted excuse to bring Radahn back while ignoring half of the characters established lore
Reminder that Miquella is correct is abandoning St. Trina. His other half would have interfered in his commitment to distribute compassion to all. Love would have focused his efforts into too few individuals and would have been a gaping weakness in his efforts to resist the influence of the Outer Gods. Miquella understood the steps required to be a perfect God.
>>483435395I'm still mad I fucked up his quest on my blind playthrough.>Lol kill yourself four times even though nothing seems to change the first two times.I really wanted his armor.
>mfw we could've gotten adult miquella but got a combo of two bosses we already defeated
>midra co-opholy mother of health bloat
Why does Trina die for no reason?
>want to use ancient meteoric blade>also want to use messmer fire shitwhat do
Does beating Messmer by itself progress/brick NPC questlines? Can I just kill him without restoring the tower?
So know that we know the source of divinity isn't the Greater Will and is instead the Gates of Divinity, why does Miquella or anyone else need to have a lord (aside from as a consort for lineage-producing reasons)?

>>483432695post proof
Reminder that pic is delayed to play the dlc
Why doesn't Thiollier move during P1 Radahn? He just chills behind the fog gate.
Let me get this straight. Only three Empyreans are born to succeed MarikaMalenia who is rotting to death.Miquella who is eternally young and also male for some reason.Ranni who is perfectly normal and therefore the best choice. Then she goes and murders Godwyn and fucks everything up. Imagine how peaceful the world would have been if it wasn't for Ranni. Miquella could focus on treating Malenia's rot. Radahn could keep fighting battles on behalf of the family. Rykard wouldn't need to get vored by a snake. Melina wouldn't have to burn herself.Why did Ranni do it?
Miquella should’ve been an Allant-style fakeout boss, not the dumb fanservice we got
>went to take a closer look at the huge keep>Miguel's spell broke and now everyone wants to go on a murder spreeOh I definitely fucked up every single NPC quest didn't I.
>>483435925This happens often with his dumb ai.Try to get Radahn closer to the gate.
>>483435921that's fair, it's literally research
>>483435951Actually no that's normal
>>483431052Do you mean the people using it, or the people against it?
Will this DLC make people love or hate Radahn?
>>483435929Pretty sure Ranni did it after Marika fucked everything up and turned everyone immortal, so that's why.
>>483435763>Does beating Messmer by itself progress/brick NPC questlines?No, it doesn't, because just entering his arena bricks those ;)
>>483435951Yup. Go back to the previous save.
>Igon just sits off to the side of the arena and launches harpoon because his legs are still brokenKek.
Some lorefag pls explain:Before and regardless of the dlc story , Miquella has a 240IQ plan set in motion, and in fact it seems the true ending/story of ER was for the tarnished to be Miquellas aide.It is also now confirmed Marika ascended to godhood to escape the horror and get revenge, and that she shattered the ring and plotted against the system to get out of godhood. Then why the fuck does 240IQ Miquella want to become a god? Did he not undeterstand a single fucking thing? Even Ranni seemed to naturally loathe becoming a God.I understand they decided to not change the main story and that ultimately you would defeat Miquella like all others.. buint why make him so retarded? This invalidates all the mysterious aura around him throughout the main games and the story trailers.
>>483436092Neither. It just makes me pity him even more.
>>483436109CURSE YOU BAYLE
Why does it say GOD SLAIN at the end of the DLC?Neither Miquella or Radahn are gods, just demigods
>>483436118Messiah complex.
>>483436092it's already made me hate him. they just shoehorned him in because he's popular and, ironically, it's going to reduce his popularity because of how poorly his character was utilized
>>483436092The reddittards that constantly fellated him have been awfully quiet.
>>483436118He wanted to create a kinder order and needed the power to do so. This is stated 900 times throughout the DLC
>>483435929Ranni didn't want to deal with the Elden Beast controlling her
>>483435078Castle Ensis and that's all I think.
>>483435773>Miquella could run away at lightspeed the moment defeat draws near, ensuring he can pick battles and remain unassailable at will>he doesn't do it this and stubbornly fights to his death>Radahn does the samePerhaps video games should just have no story or characteriziation. Everything should just be wireframe with no textures. Bosses should just be rectangular polygons that test your reflexes and memorization.
>>483435305>Hasn't it been revealed that Marika didn't have one either (at least she was assisted by Metyr, disconnected from the GW)?DLC lore isn't canon
>>483436118>that she shattered the ring and plotted against the system to get out of godhoodWas getting out of godhood the reason? Because I don't see how godhood would be to blame for what happened.
>>483434837>become god>take multiple consorts>they start fucking each otherA nightmare to be sure. This is why it's one consort only. Same for multiple gods.
>>483435929No, Marika shattered the ring to try to escape godhood and/or spare her children from godhood. In fact she may have plotted the murder of Godwyn , which in fact may have been a planned ritual with his knowledge.
I see.Smithscript weapons are very silly on pure FTH and INT builds.They all behave like the Erdsteel Dagger when infused so their AR goes sky high at 80 FTH or INT.They might also be good for INT/FTH at 45/45 but I haven't tested it.
So what was marikas plan
>>483431108a katana but.... le.... BIG???? ok i will get the dlc and finally make a kairo seijuro character in elden ring
Playing previous games is going to feel like slow motion after Radahn. I fear for how Miyazaki designs future bosses
>>483434989>Bros does the GW only care about dragons?Clearly since he fucked off after Placidussax failed at his job one job as elden lord.Imagine: You're an all powerful creator diety, so you make your own little neat sandbox to pass the time.What do you put in it? DRAGONSWhy?Because DRAGONS are cool as shit!And they get to live in a GIANT CASTLE IN THE SKYTHAT FLOATSBut then the other gods start messing with your sandbox and introducing nasty concepts like life and death, someone even threw a fucking meteor at your flying castle city, not cool.Suddenly you're totally original donut steel Elden Lord loses two/three of his heads in a fight with the shitty knock off known as BAYLE (His third head was originally intended to fall off during our battle, but it was cut content for whatever reason and since we only see two on Bayle that still tracks.)Now your glorious, perfect, utopian dragon world is crawling with filthy little beastmen and messed up disgusting wyverns.I'd say fuck it and go start a new project on a different server as well.
>>483436395She had no plan. She just freaked out after Godwyn died and she learned the truth of the Fingers being schizos.
>>483435657Sadly, i kinda agree with that. He exchanged is capacity to love to actualy be able to reach his goal which is the greater good and the end of the cycle of suffering.
>>483436395Get revenge on the hornsent
>>483436118Ranni wants to save herself first and foremost. It just so happened you're thirsty for doll cunny and follow her around everywhere. She decides it's best to have an Order where people think for themselves and solve whatever problem the Lands Between still has.Miquella wants to save people, but also wants to be there to guide them. Which is why "godhood" or being a symbol is necessary.
>>483436118Miquella believes that by achieving godhood and abandoning his flesh he can absolve himself from Marika's sins and bring about his age of compassion. However in the process of self sacrifice he loses the parts of him that make him Miquella, turning him into a husk only interested in becoming god, with none of the love that defined him. Thats why Trina wishes for us to grant him forgivness, Divinity would be his prison.>>483436232Miquella is explicitly stated to have achieved godhood during the bossfight
Where do hosts even find the balls to summon me again after they die to the dumbest shit possible
>>483432363It doesn't help that the higher poise sets leave much to be desired when it comes to balancing fashion and defences. We were more spoiled for choice in Dark Souls 3 I feel.

>>483436352She was hostage to the EB and the fingers, plus all the fucked up happenings from before.

>>483436516>the lands between is a fucking hellhole and no wonder ranni wanted nothing to do with itRanni is the one who made it a hellhole tho
Dudes I just realized that before we came Gaius was just chilling with that Albinaric woman...Did we just kill her bf? And then kill her? And then take his fucking pants?
>>483436556And how does shattering the Elden Ring change that? If anything, the result was she was even more chained to them.
>>483436395Initially she didn't really have any, she was cool with being the god of her order and getting revenge on the people who fucked her over. After the "days of blind faith" were past, she probably found out the less than pleasant truths about the Order. Ranni always hated the fingers and her killing Godwyn was just too much for Marika.

>>483430585I was close to beating Messmer with the beast Claw, but I decided to stick with something more familiar. Probably should replace the ash with BHS or Earthshaker.
>>483436701He didn't even have time to put his pants on to deal with us so they were probably fucking. We gave the man blue balls and then killed him.

Thanks for the free stones bozo.
>>483436118>that she shattered the ring and plotted against the system to get out of godhood.How does shattering the ring remove her godhood? The Elden Ring isn't how she got her power, right? It was the gates instead?
>>483436762>shield faggotYes. I enjoy the proper solution to Malenia. I let her heal herself then guard counter. It lets her feel more confident so it's more satisfying shattering her defenses.
How the fuck do I beat bosses in Co-op? I've lost every single co-op. Hosts just die instantly in every fucking boss fight. No matter how good I play they cannot survive long enough for me to kill the boss. Radahn is the fucking worst. Sometimes I don't even make it through the fucking door before Radahn does his gay little charge that 1 shots the host.WHAT AM I MEANT TO DO?
>>483436762>baby arm destroyerIs the arm considered OP?
>>483436724The only reason I don't spoil NPC quests on the first playthrough is because it will subconsciously make me play through the game in a specific optimal way.I'm fine with losing out on a couple of items to preserve the first experience, since you can never get it back.
>>483436863He never wore the pants, but this post is funny as fuck regardless so I'm choosing to think this is real
>>483436920Well I don't think anybody knew ,that's why she shattered the ring, to try. The gates is where she called the EB and probably became a god, but the ring is supposed to be some physical structure of the whole order.
>>483436432>I fear for how Miyazaki designs future bossesDude knows his audience won't forgive him if he slows down on the endless climb to higher and higher difficulty, and he's probably forgotten how to make a fight that is difficult but fun by now. So from now on it's nothing but ever increasingly absurd combos, impossible speed, infinite stamina and poise, and arena-wide AoE spam for bosses and big mobs, all while you still move at the same speed you did in DS1.
>>483437016>WHAT AM I MEANT TO DO?Invade. Cull the weak. Despoil their playthroughs.
>>483437016give up and realize multiplayer in elden ring is not the intended way to play the gamespirit summons outperform the average coop phantom with no impact on boss HP and invading has been neutered
>>483436917bro just cheese him with black knife/frenzy burst. pull him out of his arena
I killed this guy on my first try. He was MELTING.I think I'm a bit overleveled for this area, I have 15 Scoobydoo Blessings.
>>483436762>nooo don't use the DLC weapons its not fair
>>483437016>WHAT AM I MEANT TO DO?Hope that your host has more than 3 scattree blessings.If the host is getting 1-2 shot, then you know that he was doomed from the start.
>>483437023Have you seen its bleed buildup value?
How do I make this viable?
>>483437016>>483437183Sad if true, co-op is meant to be the diagenic way of re-fighting bosses.
When I heard there was this party of NPCs journeying to Miquella, I had hoped it'd have at least one from each previous demi-god. This would let us see the POV of everyone working for another. >Yeah, Godrick sucks but he pays me.>lol crazy bitch Renalla so I do whatever I want>mfw Godwyn still dead>I deserted Rykardetc
Malenia vs DLC Radahn, who will win?
>no shield ash to let you heal on block>no talisman to increase flask drink speed>no poise casting for healing>nerfed version of BB's rallying tied behind beating fucking MaleniaI know your fucking game, Miyazaki.
>>483436395Burn the Erdtree and kill the Elden Beast by creating the Tarnished who would be a body of warriors capable of slaying a god.
>Greatsword of Damnation>no madness status??????????????????????????????????????????
>>483436109My igon bugged out and was walking around properly but kept randomly trying to crouch and uncrouch
>>483437201>15 Scoobydoo Blessings.yeah that'll basically trivialize most bosses.
>only the host can break the platform and fall down to the 2nd level of the cave>the 1st level has almost no mobs in super small rooms>once you fall into the pit there's no way to get out
>>483437147If you were to ask me about From's 5 best bosses, they would all be in Bloodborne DLC, Sekiro or ER + DLC
>>483437023The R2 on it does an absurd amount of bleed. You'll be bleeding Radahn in 2 R2's. But it's a strength Arc weapon which has been my favorite stats since Mohgwyns Spear and the Drill Greatsword.
>>483437139>that's why she shattered the ring, to try.But she knew that's not where her godhood came from, so why would she think the ring is tied to her godhood?>The gates is where she called the EB and probably became a godI don't think the EB has anything to do with her godhood. She would have become a god even if the EB wasn't there. The EB just connects her to the Order and the Elden Ring.
>>483437340The sword is from the hornsent inquisitors, not the frenzied flame.
>>483437237I don't even know why they didn't just give the separate ash of war. That would enable more customization. It's not like there aren't NPC exclusive weapons already like Millicent's waterfowl sword.
>>483437016you dont, you’re there to help not auto win, if it would take someone 500+ attempts to beat a boss solo theres a very slim chance you will beat it
I threw a harpoon in Bayle's fat face. It was cool.
>>483436118In the base game Miquella was going to use the Haligtree to ascend to godhood after he sent Malenia to fight Radahn to ensure he doesn't continue halting the stars to prevent that from happening.He wanted to ascend to godhood as this would give him the power to create the unalloyed gold necessary to repel the Outer God of Rot's curse on Malenia and expunge the deathblight from Godwyn's corpse at the roots of the Erdtree.Mohg intervened and even Gideon Ofnir implied that this caused Marika grievance, and could've been part of the reason why Marika shattered the Elden Ring in the first place.Essentially, Miquella was left unguarded and thus had to abandon his body for the Shadow Realm after Malenia failed to defeat Radahn entirely.If these story elements weren't heavily retconned and rewritten than the Tarnished would've helped Miquella assume a new body, and fulfill their destiny as his promised Lord by raising him to godhood while guarding his ascent in the newly grown Erdtree.There would've then been an aftercredits scene of Miquella and the Tarnished traveling back on Torrent, curing Malenia and Godwyn, perhaps even resurrecting all the demi-gods the Tarnished defeated, restoring them to them to their pre-Shattering selves as the eclipse and Mausoleums seem to imply.
>>483437227No. I generally don't use bleed, and haven't looked into it. I know it doesn't even have bleed scaling unless infused. Only special effect on R2 attacks.
>>483437016>1 shots the hostdo these niggers not level vigor at all?
>>483437278Dlc radahn wins but dies to the rot while malenia death dialogue ongoing
>>483437278That fight literally happened during the shatterring, no one won
>>483435929>Imagine how peaceful the world would have been>Radahn could keep fighting battles on behalf of the familynot very peaceful it sounds like
Man it sucks being outside the final boss room and you know there's not going to be another FROM game for at least 2-3 years
>>483437379How does it feel to fight someone who isn't completely retarded?If you want balanced pvp go back to the arena.
it's funny how the DLC doesn't even mention the haligtree at all
>>483437474Only one? Igon said a hail.
>>483437201I actually found this guy fun, but he's so weak to holy he just fucking crumbled.
>>483436273>radahn >redditreddit loved malenia and miquella, Radahn was the big ebil warlord. Retards all ignored the shaded castle spirit who called Malenia a rotten harpy and all the items and gideon dialogue warning about Miquella
>>483436109can you put latenna near him so you get a cripple machinegun squad cheering on you
>>483437394Haven’t finished the dlc but Mohg, Godrick and Malenia were the only bosses that feel really standout to me, and that comes with an asterisk for waterfowl dance. Dancing Lion is one of my new favorites just for the spectacle
>>483436549What shield is that?
>>483437570That special effect does like 200+ bloodloss
>>483437379Yeah, same for invisible walls. Most of the caves in this game are really shit to invade in.Not the mention a lot of the caves are strictly linear, i.e. points of no return which limits where you can move freely.
>>483437630>How does it feel to fight someone who isn't completely retarded?this is your average rot breath yellow
I forgot which cave it was but there's this one wall which bugs out if you touch it. It displays the place name over and over. I think there were rats and jar innards in the cave.
>>483437729Charged or uncharged? Is there any difference?
>>483437665Uhhh... then what about the thousands of threads like this, radahnsisters?
>Golden Hippo into Scadutree AvatarPlease tell me this low effort slop doesn't continue and the bosses actually improve later. Please tell me the Dancing Lion wasn't them shooting their load early.
>>483432340>they cut the alternate ending Beyond Death Godwyn, God of Darkness final boss fight where you fight alongside Miquella>they cut the 2nd phase instant guaranteed death attack that gets blocked by Miquella cinematic phase transition attack where Miquella appears in front of you to tank the attackMemesharty please finish your games
What are some essential tips for Radahn, I'm barely getting him past half health
>>483437662It's probably an undead and undead are a complete joke in elden ring
>>483437615>there's not going to be another FROM game for at least 2-3 yearsI'm playing the shit out of this DLC then giving up on vidya for around a year or more to grind away at my career/etc.Vidya outside of a few games isn't worth the time wasted.
I miss Ornstein and Smough for double bosses.I miss Ludwig for giant monster bosses.I miss Gael for spastic humanoid bosses.
>>483435490she thinks Miquella is still embedded into the tree. I feel like Miquella encourage her and Radahn to fight so she could bloom and be in a begetable state so he could charm Mogh into capturing him to get access to the shadowlands. Then he stole Mogh's corpse and Radahn's soul after the festival. He then put Radahn's soul into Mohg's body using a secret rite only the people of the shadowlands knew about. Then the tarnished arrives and prevents him from reaching true godhood. The end, that'll be $40.
>>483437665Radahn is THE reddit character, and the most common Miquella take was that he was gonna be evil and some griffith wanna-be
>>483437456>stick a sword in a pile of shit>sword comes out squicky clean
>>483435929>Why did Ranni do it?She didn't want to become a baby factory (god) since that's the world Marika crafted to cope with the loss of her village.Otherwise she wouldn't have gone to such extremes to discard her flesh, she basically castrated herself out of a fear of having children and decided to burn the world down at the same time.
>>483437904based
>>483437836>"DLC where we fight Radahn in his prime when"Genuinely wicked post. You can just smell the witch voodoo oozing from it.
>>483436792Thou didst me good service, Miquella.Someone should drawn it.Other scene could be:Thou didst me good service, RadahnFull homosexuality released!
I WILL defeat Messmer on my ownI will NOT change my build from STR greataxesI will NOT spawn a spirit or touch a golden summon
The Radahn fight was cool as fuck, but...Sorry. Fighting a boss who has a 20-hit combo which they can chain into another 20-hit combo into another 20-hit combo is the opposite of fun. I hope From nerfs that fight into the fucking ground like OG Radahn. This one actually deserves it.
>>483437979Being a god isn't being a baby factory if you've got a male empyrean running around
>>483437694Verdigris Greatshield. Basically higher guardboost than the fingerprint shield, but slightly lower elemental protection if I remember correctly.

does burning the skibidi tree affect other questlines other than miquella's gang?
>>483437836>Dlc where we fight Radahn in his prime when?
>>483438137It affects ALL questlines.
What's this tranny's deal?
>>483437268>co-op is meant to be the diagenic way of re-fighting bosses.Not in the DLC thanks to the scudatree blessings, just like in the base game the majority of hosts who summon are the ones who rush through levels and don't look for secrets.Boss rush faggots are getting curb stomped by the mandatory exploration.
>>483437969If you noticed, the boss wasn't building madness when he hit you with the sword.
>>483437875Don't use attacks that lock you in long animations. You will only get 1-2 hits for every 5 rolls of dodging his fag combos.Bleed for easy win
>>483435929>Why did Ranni do it?Greater Will = Eldrich alien/monsterHave you seen its ''daughter''? she had to tear everything down
>everyone defending the shitty bosses and unfun enemies and point the "git gud" meme even if you show proof that you beat them with no summonsWhat's the fucking point of all those flashy ashes of war if I can't even use them against anything for example?What the point if the most optimal tactic is rolling R1 or fucking jump attacks between the endless attacks until the boss die
>>483437875Use the light roll Physik in the second phase. When he's doing his after image strikes, they can either be rolled (unreliable) or sprinted past, but only if you run to the right. Learn to just tank the first hit of his cross slash, and dodge the rest. It's comes out way to fucking fast, at least for my 30 year old boomer ass

wait wasn't it ranni who caused everyone in the lands between to not be able to dieor was the lack of death a thing before she assassinated godwyn?
>>483438325If you want bigger openings for your big flashy moves have you considered using summons? That's literally their whole point.
>>483438258His child died so now he thinks everything is broken and doesn't work and one person here uses him to try and shit on all the endings, especially the goldmask one
Man the main game bosses are fucking comically easy once you've gotten used to the abominations in the DLC. I'm fighting Maliketh and it feels like this guy has 10% of Radahn's HP and Radagon just moves around swinging his tiny faggot hammer in what seems like slow motion.
The thing about Elden Ring quests is how easily just advancing the story breaks them. It's open world so it's easy to miss something you wouldn't in a previous, less open game. And the rune breaking is even easier than all that because you just reach a location. No fight.
>>483438475I was when people died before they got sent into the tree and either reincarnated or just got eaten by the fag tree, then Ranni did her thing and then things stopped dying for real.Though I'm a lorelet so I probably don't know shit.
>>483437875What >>483438340Said. And also bleed is highly recommended. You might feel cheesy for using it, but the fucker has 40k hp.

Was that it? After beating Radahn you get a shitty cutscene, and DLC done?What the fuck.
>>483437438She may not have known where godhood came from. In the trailer we see her "ascending " by calling the Elden Beast as per the same trailer. As far as we know all the package might have come together for her.
>>483438325I honestly didn't even have time for jumping attacks because I either was low on stamina from rolling 200 times or Radafaggot reacted extremely aggressively after getting hit so I had no time to recover

How do i doge malenia 3 stab attack? It happens so fast that i can never react to it, it feels so bullshit
Any tips/strategies/item suggestions on using dragon communion spells against these DLC bosses? Anything at all? The fastest incantation still leaves you punishable for most of your hp unless you get quite lucky. Is there no way to circumvent this at all, not counting summons? Maybe someone figured out some sick strategy or item synergy to ease this a little? I can use my weapon but I really wanted to prioritize the incantations for the most part and none of these bosses really give you the time for it. Is it hopeless? I don't want to abandon my main purpose of this character. Requesting help of the no-lifers that have billion different characters/builds in this game. Any tips at all?

>>483439929They got their closure. Not to mention NPCs in DS3, most of the main characters in Sekiro, fucking Solaire, etc.From quest NPCs die a lot but pretending they all end with and then they died :/ is just being actively blind to the videogame you are playing
I want a second weapon to go with my backhand blades, should I go for Rakshasa’s great katana or the dragon great Katana bros? or that one new sword that have some crazy blue magical flip in the end forgot what its called

>Enraged Divine Beast>raises potency of storms????
it's just me or have weapons in general gotten worse after Dark Souls 2?Like, from Demon to DS1, weapons got better (although nerfing down big ass weapons knocking down and around people was bad), DS2 weapons are the peak, but DS3 ruined it all over with weapon arts, and Elden Ring just continued what they did with DS3 and made them even more boring somehowHow.
>collected 47/50 skibidis and 24/25 cocaine bagsi explored
What's up with DLC bosses having no fucking poise? I don't even use light attacks anymore, just jumps and charged heavies.
>>483440361They stunlock easy. Those horned guys are worse.
>>483440361yea they were pretty annoying till i remembered to jump attack them bitches
longsword vs broadsword?
>>483439515>Godwyn will forever be unexploredGodwyn niggers are so fucking retarded. He was explored in the base game, he had several questlines, he has a whole ending
This DLC undoubtedly has the best bosses FROM has ever createdMessmer being the absolute favorite
>>4834403901 step forward, 2 steps back.
>>483439149I'm at Level 19, I kinda figured it would be harder to scour the map and look for the three fragments I missed than to just rough it out
>>483440340I could tell from your original post that you're a Godwynfag thus I am not even going to bother arguing with you in good faith>Godwyniggers thought the one demigod WHOSE SOUL DIED would be coming back for an edgy Prince of Death fightGrim

>>483440449>>483440454i dont think i can stunlock them with my backhand blade
>>483440519>he had several questlinesNot really "he" though. It's more people tangentially related to him.
>>483440440People still need Mimic Tear when you can just do shit like this, it's unreal lmao
>>483440204And the best part is Ancient Dragon Lightning Strike is a basegame spell so it isn't going to get nerfed.Meanwhile the new "op thorn spell" from the DLC is entirely carried by the Maternal staff having pre-nerf ARC scaling for status effects, which got nerfed on the Albinauric staff due to pvp, so it'll probably get nerfed again.At least the Dragon Priestess form gives you a free +20% damage buff you can stack on top off all that damage on the ADLS
>>483440457both outclassed by the tips fedora mladyAnd its wing stance
Is the Kale mod updated for the DLC
If Melina gives you the power to level up, can she use it on herself to become stronger?
>>483440204>24685 in 1 spellUhhh melee friends??
>>483440727Yes, but she's an eternal jobber.
>>483430718The expectation that a non twinked simple sword and board build should be able to consistently invade and disrupt somebody else's gameplay is moronic. Invasions are still fine, you just need to respond to Fromslop challenging you with 1v3 WA spam by using even more bullshitter bullshit and winning anyway. It is still possible to consistently win invasions you just have to be a smarter and morally superior person to your prey, rather than just blindly unga bungaing. Invasions are about being a hunter and using niche weapons, spells, surprise, the environment to your advantage, if you want an honorable 1v1 do duels.
>>483440663doesn't work on ng+7
modders did martial artist better than the devs.
>>483440727if she would get out of her way to gather souls, sure
>>483440519>he has a whole ending>dogshit meaningless mass effect 3-tier recolor endinglol, lmao even>all the most meaningful build-up the game was setting up in relation to Godwyn and Miquella was NEVER capitalized on>"they did explore him bro!"
>>483440440>these are the bosses mindbreaking millions
>>483440646Yeah because he is completely and fully obliterated from existence, only his flesh remains and the implications of that are explored through other people. Godwyn as a person no longer exists anywhere in any shape or form
>>483440572Not him, but it's fiction. They could have written in a way to revive him (or fail to revive him so the resulting entity is something warped).Or, even if he doesn't show up, they still could have added lore for him.
>>483440793I permit you to use the Mimic Tear after you've beaten the game 6 times before without it.
>>483440440>Why doesn't a naked skinny madman have more poise?The depths of your foolishness!
>>483440646Yes you retard because Godwyn is dead. His very soul was erasef from existence. There is nothing to talk or develop about Godwyn because he's just a cancerous mindless mass. The only thing you could do with him would have a quest to make a weapon that could kill his body
>>483440817It's less that martial arts are bad and more than there's not enough time in boss openings for the combos that the devs clearly want you to do
>>483440390>DS2 weaponsBecause they did the best thing possible - they fucking MIXED movesets and for unique weapons they gave unique shit (be it power stance, L2, R2 etc), with some getting unique shit entirely like Bone Fist my belovedThe mixing of movesets from other weapon classes alone made so many weapons more than just "why would I use x when y got better stats"
How are these when lvld up? Worth it as a solo weapon? worth it over a buckler with shield bash or something like that?
>>483440440anon please... you probably beat him, but please... stop disrespecting by favorite boss like this...
>>483440663mimic tear makes it faster and you're slow >>483440817you can't criticize our yellow chinks
>>483439918How? It's really short and linear with only 1 boss and 1 npc boss reskin. Meanwhile Raya Lucaria is way bigger, more interconnected, has more bosses, better loot, a secret path that leads to another dungeon entirely, mutliple questlines related to it...
>>483439515I'm no Godwynfag but the fact that there's a fucking cancerous tumor expanding all over the land being left unresolved is so fucking stupid you have to wonder why even add it
>>483439515It's the worst DLC ever made and I would've rather Elden Ring never had gotten a DLC because of how shit it was narratively. It's going to take me months of shadowwork to get over this.
>>483440572Reddit argument. You just make shit up, you literally just make shit up and write new shit. Miquella becomes a god blah blah blah uses god powers to do what no one else can and bring godwyn back from beyond true death so he can stop all the deathblight crap and unalloyed gold and so on and such forth and such
>>483440898I don't care about headcanon and neither does From. Cope and seethe
>>483438680>Looking forward to Wilds after DD2Lol no
Where is the drawstring summoning bell at?
Is Messmer's the son of Godfrey or Radagon?
>>483437546>perhaps even resurrecting all the demi-gods the Tarnished defeated,fuck no lolsome of them deserve it
>>483440925>His very soul was erasef from existence.So what retard? His body is still alive.>There is nothing to talk or develop about Godwyn because he's just a cancerous mindless mass. The only thing you could do with him would have a quest to make a weapon that could kill his bodyAnd there you go. They could have done something like that to finally deal with his body. They could have made us finally kill the body, or they could have made us help revive the soul (and then maybe kill/fight the complete being). We do neither. He's in limbo forever.
>>483440925>he only thing you could do with him would have a quest to make a weapon that could kill his bodyGood
>>483441079It's probably pretty good actually, from a gameplay perspective outside of some of the bosses, but in terms of the writing this is the absolute lowpoint of post-DeS FROMSOFT and some of the worst stuff they've ever written.
>>483440440The only boss that isn't on crack this entire DLC and this is how you choose to treat him
>>483440663>>483440440I don't want to fucking use shields, for christ sake, but it seems like shields are fucking must.Does shielding work against fagahn?
>>483441084>Please FROM add in your lore an afterlife for your afterlife so I can have my edgy prince of death fight!Proving once again that all these "the lore is badly written" is just seethe from delusional Godwyn mad their headcanon did not come to pass
>>483441084>You just make shit up, you literally just make shit up and write new shit.Or you don't, because there was already sufficient focus on Godwyn in the base game. Why do you want more?
>>483441018>easy mode crutch apologistYikesYDBTG
>>483441101>headcanon You don't know what that word means. Headcanon is a fan take on something being the case or not within the game. I am not giving a take on something being the case in the game. I am saying they could have created new content for the character.

>>483440946isnt that the general consensus on every fast hitting weapon hence why they rely so much on bleed procs and such?
>>483440894>>483440925And thus no plot magic or events can ever be relevant. No #1 fanboy follower or anything else relevant to the character. Nothing we can make up that offers ways previously impossible, or straight up retcons. Like we never have any of those.

I hope From realizes that the reception of Jarburg and Shaman Village shows that there’s people who want more out of their settings again than just anime boss fights. The quiet demon’s souls style moments are a breath of fresh air
>>483441472have it writ upon thy meagre grave
>>483441307He should be.He should be the DLC's equivalent of an optional boss on Malenia's level.
>>483441501Next time, they will make you be the one to kill all the jars.
>>483441462There were previews where people talked about the insane poise break they had, so I'm just assuming based off of that
>>483441456>Miquella wanted Radahn to die a true death, meaning to kill his body. Golden Epitaph weapon description.>People complaining about how the Radahn story didn't do their fanfic justice didn't even bother reading the stuff in the base gameFixed lorelet.

>>483441464His soul being wiped out is the basis of the shattering, the thing that was in the first big CGI trailer. You're asking on them to go back on the linchpin of the entire narrative because of whatever Godwyn fanfic you wanted to see.

why didnt miquella just ask messmer to burn the sealing tree
>>483441702>His soul being wiped out is the basis of the shattering, the thing that was in the first big CGI trailer. Marika shattering the Ring means fuck nothingForgot my last sentence.
>>483441393>>483441417>FromcopersObjectively, the biggest unresolved plot-point not being resolved in the DLC, which was set up to be about Miquella which the base game tied to the biggest unresolved plot-point and built-up through the lore in the base game, is awful writing.>B-BRO YOU'RE A GODWYNFAGI'm an "expecting well-written and meaningful payoffs from deliberately placed set-ups" fag
>>483441464My guy not even Miquella was delusional enough to try to revive Godwyn. Golden Epitaph in the base game says Miquella was trying to give him a true death.Godwynfags are so delusional they don't read base game lore
>>483437590Low skibidi whenever I was helping I'd check status screen and sever out if it was too low
>>483440204>>483440204>>483440204Anyone?
only Bloodborne PC can save fromsoftware from this mess that the DLC brought them
>>483441838There's a cut line where Messmer mentions speaking to Miquella kek. They must've seen the issue.
>>483441654that doesn't really seem like an "end"game
>>483439596Gay ass writing
>>483441702>You're asking on them to go back on the linchpin of the entire narrativeNot him, but by this logic, reassembling the Elden Ring is going against the linchpin of the narrative. Just because a thing happened doesn't mean reversing it is bad writing. If Godwyn was in the game, you wouldn't be here complaining.
>>483441862I mean, for you since you can't fucking read as has been demonstrated by this whole conversation
Romina has to be such a disappointment. Pretty to look at, but there's next to nothing about her lore-wise considering she's an envoy of the fucking Scarlet Rot
>>483441667so a dex/int build then? Been thinking about that. How are the swords of the Pontiff knockoff lady? Seem like dual SOTAF, but how do they perform? I remember my INT/FTH build using that sword and even just regular attacks were crazy strong
>>483441472He didn't have one. He just wanted to preserve the decaying and inevitably fucked status quo as long as he can.
>>483441930Would you accept Bloodborne PC but locked to 30 FPS?
>>483440204Int-caster, minimal dex to use the DLC katanas
Did I beat the game if I used a blood infusion version of pic related and two handed it?
>>483441871No you are a Godwynfag and the most delusional of them all.Godwyn was never coming back. The only one who cared was Miquella who was trying to kill his body and even for Miquella it was a silly little sidequest inbetween the Haligtree/Land of Shadow project.You are mad your fanfic did not happen. Touch grass
>And the epic conclusion from this "heroic tale" is...they die!! Everyone dies!!Bravo
>>483441245That's the whole point of Miquella's omnibenevolent quest teased in the cinematic trailer. He's a messianic figure sacrificing all of himself for the sake of delivering the world from it's countless sins to mend their relationship with the Greater Will (God).He uses his overwhelming charisma and charm to bring groups of people who'd usually never work together under the same Order, giving them salvation while granting them the purpose of spreading that love until it touches all creation.In Miquella's eyes everyone deserves to "flourish whether graceful or malign." and his ending would embody that.
>>483442138yes
>>483441979>Not him, but by this logic, reassembling the Elden Ring is going against the linchpin of the narrativeNo? The whole thing was:>this thing happened, and after that the Elden Ring was broken>you are tasked with mending it, now buy the game for 60 dollarsIt would be more like finding out the ER wasn't even broken at all and they were just pretending.
>>483442170The flower thing should live on forever and have many children with me and thioller

>>483441875>My guy not even Miquella was delusional enough to try to revive Godwyn. Golden Epitaph in the base game says Miquella was trying to give Radahn a true death to take him into the Shadow Realm.>Godwynfags are so delusional they read base game Radahn lorem as GodwynFixed
How do I make the smithscript hammer not shit? Throwing it is cool, but not having a normal charged heavy sucks for my playstyle and it seems to have cucked poise damage on the throw so I can't just use it as a heavy in meleeI AM using the talisman to enhance the throw. I apparently can't put weapon enchant ashes on this either or I would. I'm drawing blanks on how to make it good. Such a cool weapon conceptually though
>>483440440do this with commander gayus
What do i do for Thiollier/Trina after I kill Putrescent K***ht?
What’s clawmark seal’s incant scaling at 45/45 now?

any good weapon to pair with misericorde? i've been using this shit since base game im starting to wanna try different weapon along with it. i rely a lot on parries so counter attacking or crit hits would be pretty good.
>>483441702>You're asking on them to go back on the linchpin of the entire narrativeWHICH THEY DIDN'T RESOLVE.By your own logic leaving this entire Godwyn thing unresolved is awful. THE LINCHPIN OF THE ENTIRE NARRATIVE, UNRESOLVEDCome on man!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I'm not fucking samefagging Godwynfags! It's just coincidence two replies are coming to your posts at the same time saying the same thing!
>>483442335>WHICH THEY DIDN'T RESOLVE.How did they not? He was murdered so Ranni can get rid of her body, his corpse is creating skellies, some people want to mend the order so that this new aspect of life is also considered to be "in" the order.That's it, that's the story of Godwyn the Golden.
How much damage/reduction does every level of scadutree give
A goddamn shame they're not going to make DLC2. GEQ is snubbed.
I wish the older animations like one handed swords or greatswords would get another pass.They're quite stale now, and seeing them in comparison to the Light-greatsword is kinda painful.
>>483439135>Marika completely redeemed>Miquella completely condemnedKind of based t b h
>>483442170DLC could have been saved by a St. Trina ending>kill the fags>marry the loving female aspect of him as your shadowlands side chick while Ranni is your wife in the regular world
>>483442501it works in dark souls because the world is fucked regardless, of death (instead of hollowing out after finishing their purpose) is actually a good ending.in elden ring, it's not. it's just "yeah this guy has no purpose anymore lol get rid of him"
which is better as a cheap buff for straight up damage:scholar's armament or order's blade?
>>483442439>Oh brother Radahn! Die a true death! Why would I give a fuck about Godwyn! You're the one I want!Fixed
>>483442439Godwynniggers spent two years invested in their fanfics, showing them in-game text does not activate their brain chemistry
>>483442240How does that comparison make sense? You are arguing that since he was killed, and that eventually resulted in the state of the world in the game (including the shattering), that shouldn't be reversed. But you can say the same thing for the shattering. The argumentation doesn't make sense. "It would be more like finding out the ER wasn't even broken at all and they were just pretending." would be equivalent if Godwyn wasn't actually killed.
>>483442495>mohg did nothing wrong>zanzibart memes>Radahn was the good guy>confirmed dragon priestess waifu like VykeMiyazaki lurks here, these were all shitposts in these threads

>>483442992You equated undoing>His soul being wiped out is the basis of the shatteringas being the same as>to go back on the linchpin of the entire narrativeThe shattering is also the linchpin of the narrative, yet we undo that.

>>483441702Godwyn coming back would not contravene the narrative in anyone. His revival doesn't suddenly make his death nor the reaction to it make less sense.

How do I instantly become level 200 and also really good at the game so I can jump straight to the dlc
>spells and incants that require 72 points nowLooks like I'm moving up to RL150
>>483450572you don't have to be level 200 or good at the game, you just have to beat mogh and radahn with sufficient preparation.you can try to cheese them first if they haven't patched it.then you can ride around doing forced open world exploration for skibidis and then the dlc is easy
>>483430787The guys in the background making up the gate structure kind of remind me of those guys in the Nox areas.
>yeah bro, praise the sun or whateverAnyways, thoughts on Midra? Wasn't so hard, took me like 2-3 hours to register his patterns well enough for effective parrying. Cool fight, but less bullshit than Rellana
Is this weapon any good with minimum ARC investment? The R2 move looks bad aside from the blood second hit. Looks really nice though.
>>483441750the erd tree is like a big main server of souls that serves as the after life and can reincarnate people. Scarabs gather souls and bring them back to erd trees and jars are filled with peoples essence/souls and are brought to erd trees to feed them so the people can become one with the erd tree. this is mentioned in the base game by ghost NPC and also there are empty great jars near some minor erd trees.
