Reposting from previous thread, need some helpStill haven't started playing the DLC. Very interested in the new backhand blade class. I am planning to start a new playthrough once I finally have time, and the plan is to go with a pure dex keen infusion build.Which of the three backhand blades would work best for keen? What do I level aside from 80 DEX? Faith seems to be the most straightforward option, but I'm not sure.

>>483513815There's no bigger dick move than invading a guy in a catacomb.
How the balls do you get down here, if you can at all?
I haven't heard a single person talk about thrusting shields
>>483513908just make the deflect tear a permanent thing
>gideon has no new dialogue after you kill miquellawhat the fuck miyazaki
The pests did nothing wrong[1150700000] I don't know what to do.[1150700010] Our mother abandoned her brood.[1150700020] She did not love us.[1150700030] We are her children, what should we do?[1150700040] Must we be sad forever?Malenia should just bite the bullet and embrace the Rot, at least her children love her unlike her faggot ass brother. Imagine abandoning everything you stood for to hook him up with your half brother and he goes around kissing the soldiers you just slaughtered by the hundreds and abandons you to go rape your other half brother.
Was Messmer a success? How are the Yume stocks?
>>483513842remember her ? she brought malenia back from caelid all the way back to haeligtree. feel sorry for her yet ?
>>483514049You need to emote a statue of Marika. That's all I'll say.
>>483514049drain the flooded area
>finish everything except radahn (and 90% of the npc quests because theyre missable [bravo, from])>take half a day off because i was hating the fuck out of every moment of the dlc that wasnt exploration>try some co-opNope. Not a single one of these bosses was cool, memorable, or at all enjoyable. The only one that I can even say anything good about is the skibidi avatar.Fuck Elden Ring. Fuck this DLC.
>>483513849Leda will trust this over her longtime companions.
Okay, now all I have to do is kill Mohg and I can FINALLY play the fucking DLC.
>>483514079>Melina has no dialogue after you kill her big brother
>>483514049It's in the not New Londo Ruins-place.>>483514104Meanwhile Miquella was sucking on wounds or whatever the fuck he did.

>>483513846Nobody can do a pinky toe in current graphic design. Its harder than hands and they suck at that too.
>>483513608https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xjUJZZhjp0o&list=PLbNT78Q7M14wvk7L_owzjhAW8S_aIHkSR&index=32Best track in the game bar none. This shit is a masterpiece.
Destined death is postponed for now
This is very interesting, it seems like at this moment Radahn has made Miquella ascended into a god, not a demigod anymore, as Miquella walked through the gate. This could have happened to Marika. The final message at the end says "God slain" so it further means Miquella has become a god. Regarding Radahn, Miquella didn't say Radahn has returned at the beginning, only at the beginning of the second phase so did Miquella became a god to resurrect Radahn? I find the act of Miquella draping around Radahn is kinda cute, like Serosh over Godfrey. Serosh was Godfrey's chain but it was also his hallmark of being an Elden Lord. Just my opinion but the final boss is pretty interesting IMO, lots of lore to dissect and the music is great. >>483513429The final one.
>>483514064>low physical block>bad stability>guardframes mean you can get guardbroken while attacking>just kind of mediocre and mundane compared to all the cool shit we gotGive it half a year and people will be clamouring to have them nerfed but for the time being we'd all rather be doing fun shit.
Post dudes (or trannies)
>no 2kat in dlcdefend this
Give me one (1) legitimate reason why Miquella becoming a god would be a bad thing???
>>483514278just play nioh 2
>Not a single 1 (uno) Bossfight with good musicWhat the fuck
>>483514242Very cool RP build, Anon. Hope you succeed.
>>483514064they're kinda cool but the stability is too low
>>483514005the amount of people ive seen invade in the abyss is hilarious
>>483513846By getting ready for pregnancy
>>483513842I am Light.The "DLC" lore is not canon. Think not of the motivations of the characters involved, but rather that of the producers of Elden Ring's compromised game studio.
>>483514079Does anyone get any new dialogue after doing the dlc?like imagine if you can go tell Ranni that the Fingers really were full of shit, or Malenia gets even more mad at you for killing Miquella.
>>483513849There should be more body types in Fromsoft games from now on. Which one would you choose if you had these options?
>>483514312i sincerely despise elden ring and I would get the box art tattooed on my fucking back before I ever touch that unbelievably horrid slop ever again
So if I wanna do a >quality build is it better to stop at 55/55 or 60/60? I read somewhere that 56-60 specifically has bad gains for some reason, but I also don't know if going from 50 to 60 vig is worth it.Currently using radahn's greatbow and the dragonslayer great katana.
>>483514397The fingers AND Marika were victims in their own right according to the DLC.
>Miquella fight except better in every single way
>>483514146"companions" lets be real here, she's too fucked in the head to have companions, just a varying tolerance level for certain individuals.
>>483514414If you despise Elden Ring, why are you posting here? Do you want to be angry?
>>483513849good morning sir
>>483514414nioh 2 is based though
Made some motherfucking OCgod this boss was fun
>>483513991Whiskey. Also I stole the blank image from twitter.Worst part of being a Miquella stan, learning the bitch threw away the ability to feel love with everything else. Radahn isn't even chosen for love anymore, he's just the best horse in the stable.No wonder Saint Trina says killing him is a mercy, it's fucking euthanasia at this point for both of them.
>>483514435Anything less than 60 Vigor makes you a Vigor-let. You're not a Vigor-let, are you Anon?
>>483514146There's something about Leda that makes me want to hold her down and slam into her over and over until she's painted white. Anyone else feel the same? Not even with Malenia did I get the urge to dominate a woman like this.
>>48351443537/55 for the leanest quality build while 2 handing a weaponhowever do not expect to have any success in pvp with quality builds or two handingthe pvp meta is 80 dex powerstance spears/lances/straight swords
>>483514502I really like Souls games and the best From content in a game is almost always in the DLCThese bosses are pretty mid overall but it actually was way better than the base game
what's the single most ludicrous weapon against mohg in the game
I wish the L2 was better but this thing is my weapon of choice rn.
>>483514079>two fingers have nothing to say when you kill finger mommy>melina doesn't comment on her nii-san>can't tell jerren his friend got his soul imprisoned in an omenoid body so he could be a gay twink's boy toy
>>483514587DO NOT stick dick in crazy
>>483514621(You)
>>483514081>Malenia should just bite the bullet and embrace the Rot, at least her children love her unlike her faggot ass brother.>le saddThose pests would do nothing for her, they are upset because their cult is running around without a leader. Her rot made her body sufferedHer brother made an armor for herNow you can say he abandoned her or make her bloom whatever, however, that was the choice she made, just so when Miquella fulfills his promise to her. We don't know if he would do it because we just kill him anyway.
>>483514621The Black Knife.
wha tthe fuck were they thinking designing putrescent knight
why did we even need to kill malenia? she had nothing to do with the dlc. was it just for romina?
>>483514483I am LightImagine if the Tarnished became unkillable during the final boss fight (against an Outer God or Godwyn) because they had Miquella on their back endlessly reviving them.
I assumed you faggots were exaggerating about Radahn since Bayle wasn't so bad but Jesus Christ that second phase is absolutely insane.
>>483514550Good stuff. I'm glad I stuck around.
>>483514692you didn't need to kill malenia
>>483514621comet azur + infinite fp flask kills him before he gets to move.
>>483513363He can be backstabbed.Don't tell me why some asshole in robes has that much poise.
Why does Beloved Stardust nerf your damage reduction THAT HARD
>>483514483Better subtle lore too.
>>483514587Understandable.
>>483514385The problem is that, unless people complain, they will just headcanon their way through the entire DLC and call Miyazaki a genius for whatever it is he thought about. There's literally no DLC ending and I don't think I saw a single person talking about it. They are focusing more about Marika lore and how she's "innocent" and justifying her genocide.>>483514550VERY high quality post. Good job anon.
>>483514483https://youtu.be/aTtgmLH8cZ4?si=sthGggtIV-YhnNdQ
>>483514678>what if orphan of kos was riding radahns horse teehee
>>483514483Why are they so creatively bankrupt? This was more compelling to fight than Radahn and the twink having a random ass tragic gay romance out of no where. And the twin princes barely had any lore to them compared to the mountains of shit there is in ER.
>>483514692you don't kill her anyway, you beat her up so millicent can return her pride, dignity, and sense of self
>>483514570Yes but I also have the greatshield talisman superglued to my cock at all times>>483514601I'm fucking dumb and forgot that. I think that would hurt the greatbow damage a lot, though. Why does respecing have to be limited? I'd like to test stuff like this.
>>483514312I don't want to play that againalso fuck you I only use spear high stance
>>483514678There's literally, LITERALLY nothing wrong with Putrescent Knight. He has learnable patterns, somewhat reasonable openings, and opportunities to optimize like jump attacks.His only bullshit attack is The quick ghostflame line he does in P2, zero startup, can't be rolled, does 70% of your health even with chudu fragments
>>483514550https://files.catbox.moe/oby32d.mp3
So Messmer was just a vessel to contain the snake and that is why his eye was shut, with a second purpose of being the kindling if the Gate of Divinity ever needed to be opened again.This basically confirms that Melina is a similar vessel containing the Black Flame/Gloam Eyed Queen.
>>483514730never mind then, i thought you had to kill her and mohg for some reason
>>483514550Fucking great
>>483514550Great job anon this is fucking great
>>483514692You dont need to, she just attacked as soon as she saw you. Which is what every enemy in every video game has done since before I was born.
>>483514587She needs the pedophilia plapped out of her.
>>483514621shackle him and then bleed spam him so he gets locked in a nihil loop before keeling over from no blood disease
>gay romance (godwyn): good>gay romance (radahn): badwhy are gamers like this?
>>483514808Because people werent investing in the lore as much as ER back then, people just take it as whatever.
>>483513295P-please respond... ;_;
>>483514587>>483514775I want to introduce Leda to Ranni so we can reenact that.
>>48351455010/10, finally some good fucking food
FROM will definitely see the top streamer boss kills in the DLC. Greatshields will get a massive nerf and will get completely gutted in the next game.
>>483514081I'll just take her to Farum Azula with the needle to purge the rot and then we can spend the next year enacting Total Centipede Death.
>>483514550The OC that saved /erg/
Post lore headcanons /erg/ ill startPart of the reason the haligtree is so shitty is because Leda killed all of the good knights
>>483514550KINO
>>483514983just pick up the first backhand blade 60 seconds after you start the dlc and start playing, retard, holy fuck
>>483514989why is she standing like that? there's nothing forcing her to be bent over
I dont get why from doesnt let me have an option to join Miquella.What a creative bankrupt company.
>>483514832I installed the glorious merchant mod to get myself 2000 larval tears cuz I can't be arsedthe mod doesn't get you banned btw
>>483514952It was the for the best wasn't it.
>>483515104Why couldn't they make them purchasable or farmable or something...it's only getting one dlc, nows the chance. Fucking hell.
Fissure Depths multiplayer pool: Off
>>483514550holy fucking kino
Seriously, a romance manga?
>>483514678Huh? He's as honest as it gets
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4b50QLz9akoIt's over chuds, Scott said that Radahn was even harder than on release.
>>483514550BAYYYYYYYYLE
>>483514435nice image man
>>483514929Above: Foreshadowed by Castle Sol, explores a new concept that sounds kino as fuck (Eclipse), involves a rather unexplored character who physically isn't even really present, maybe less gayBelow: Literally out of left field, reuses a character who's primary arc was rather simple and satisfying, ditches previous plans and actions from Miquella to the point of having to ask "Okay so why did he even do those things?", implies Miquella is the top.
>>483515069In Fate if you're an unraped woman you immediately assume the position after 40 minutes.
So the western mausoleum knight is guts, the northern is conan, what are the others?
With all these fucking aoes I'm starting to think bosses were made with summons in mind
>>483515215>i-it was harder t-trust me bro!!ok
>>483515069she's being telekinetically held into an embarrassing pose
>>483515029That bitch has a fat neck.
>>483514550great art for real
>>483515029Miquella's Great Rune would still be in effect. She wouldn't do that.>>483515202Rya is so cute!
>>483515260He shows clips tranny from the beta.
>>483515235the rest of your post is correct but miquella was already foreshadowed as the top when the hardest boss in the game says so
>mfw theres nothing left to do in the dlcsad! now what? invasions are shit nowadays and so is helping tards in coop.should i try the convergence mod? or seamless coop?d-does anyone want to play seamless with me?
https://youtu.be/Qvj0-BElz6s?si=NVNkUCNEQADSPqTo>we went from this to Radahn lazy cutscene
>>483514550Shouldnt it be "Dread, Bayle, Holy Grail"?
DUDE WHAT IF EVERY BOSS HAD AN ATTACK THAT NUKES THE ENTIRE ARENA
>Beat Gaius>Legend felledReally? Did that guy really deserve the "Legend felled" line? He's great enemy tier at best
>>483515442i dont want to deal with this shit so i just crimsonwhorl
>>483515215That move is still the most unfair shit in a Souls game in years. Your odds of successfully rolling it with med roll is legitimately less than 1% and even with light roll it's almost frame perfect. It's now just a free hit for the boss, rather than a free 0-death for the boss like it was in the prereleasethey didn't playtest this shit
>>483514550I've lived this experience more than most realize.
Okay, so what did miquella do with mohg's body and soul? the game seemed to imply he was using it for something but it never elaborated.
So why do you guys think rykard had blonde hair?
>>483514550holy kek
>>483515029>>483514587>>483514642I'd bet good money on Leda being a meek maiden in bed.
>>483515442DUDE WHAT IF EVERY BOSS HAD 10 HIT COMBOS WHICH TRANSITIONED TO ANOTHER 10 HIT COMBO
My single criticism of the DLC is that the ending cinematic is REALLY lackluster
>Lord of the Old Order>The dlc is before we become a lord??
>>483515486>in yearsever
>>483515260retard
Deathknight gear is great, I just wish I had a cool ethereal cloak like the bosses. Their weapons are neat, Longhaft Axe especially, and the buff they give to lightning incantations is absurd.
Seamless is broken because of the dlc broIt's over
>there are three spots on the map that cause Miquela's rune to breakMIYAZAKI WHY WOULD YOU PUNISH EXPLORATION?!
>no cool new spells>no cool new staff that can compete with rennala's boss weapon
>>483515517Because its actually white? He is probably the eldest son from Radagon?
>>483515451Every single remembrance boss gets "legend felled" even fucking Rellana.
>>483515442I let out mirthless laugh everytime a boss in this fucking game let's out screen wipe explosion and then add magic explosions to all their fucking sword swings
any good faith spells so far? i just got the big pest threads and that could probably be my goto from now on
>>483515451He's a commander in a demi-god's army riding a unique mount. He's legend tier.
>>483514550Holy shit, nice
>>483515635I don't know what this means yet but it worries me
>>483515635you don't miss out on anything except dialogue. all the rewards are on quests steps after the rune breaks
>>483515532>Murders for her shota godThere is no way this women doesn't fuck like an animal, or fucks anything other than blonde effeminate boys.
why did this make me hard
>>483515139Ignorant is bliss I must say. The more we invest in lore the less enjoyable the game is to us.
>>483515635It doesn't punish anything. There's no negative consequence. All it does is advance the NPC quests by one stage and break open the gold fog gate.
>>483515572The only other move I can think of that compares to its bullshit is Genichiro's katana flurry combo, the only move in that game that CANNOT be perfect parried, but that one's easy to avoid (just walk backwards)so yeah, I think you're right
>>483515641I was hyped for the spellcasting sword and the staff that can cast incantations as well, but the sword is trash with no sorc scaling and the staff kind of mid.
>>483515635where are they
>>483514234This part was so fucking good in general, the feeling of all these faction loyalists choosing a side and speaking their peace really was well executed. Lots of memorable NPCs in this DLC, I'm pleased.
>>483515703the charge time is too long. the real winners are knight lightning spear and the new holy chainsaw ring
>>483515736What a fucking slut.
>>483515532Only if it's Miquella.
>>483514273I am abusing enjoying the retarded thorn spell in coop, it's all Gaius btw people really seem to be hardstuck in there a lot.

>>483514550Nice.
>>483515798any hint to getting those? i feel like im exploring far in the wrong direction. im in like xenoblade world or something right now
>>483516063Cute Tarnished. 3 kids.
>>483516070i think they really want you to use a shield. most of radahn's attacks, even though they look scary, don't deal a lot of stamina damage. weird choice by the devs
>>483515954Love me Tiche. Fighting alongside her is very fun. Besides her whole Blade of Death stuff, she has a lot of moves that just outright knockdown the enemy.
>>483516063Do scardu tree spells get buffed by the staff of the guilty?If so, it's makes thorn sorceries the biggest winner for sorceries, which is comically cruel of from.
how you dodge rahadan's purple bullshit circle, it's active for so long, do you just run away?
couldve been kino as two separated DLCs...
>>483516172knight lightning spear is a death knight spell so it's in one of the catacombs with the new imps, i forget which one just look it up. the holy ring spell is in a legacy dungeon called the fissure at the southernmost point of the map, it's basically unmissable as it's on the main path.
>>483516063>>483516237Someone I summoned did 13k damage with that fucking thorn spell
>>483516250Jump away from him. I've consistently been able to avoid all damage from that attack by just jumping.
>>483515886Miyazaki said it wasn't.
>>483516250dodge the S U C KIf you failed, yes turn tail immediately and run. Jump at the end for good measure.
>>483516250the initial pull is rollable. if you fail the roll, sprint and jump away and you won't take any damage
>>483514642I wouldn't be proud of it, but I would and I'd enjoy it.
>>483515404Kino of the Highest order
>>483514435>>483515224>>483515954>>483516212Tiche Love! The best!

>didn't struggle with rellana>watch a streamer>they summon NPC leda>health bar inflated so much he's not even doing yellow damage to the life barjesus christ no wonder people struggle, why would you ever use a summonbitch was a glass cannon when I fought her
>>483516237yes. apparently you should be using the mother of fingers staff mainhand because it still has unnerfed arc scaling on spells or some shit
Tried using Impenetrable Thorns on Mother of Fingers and it did 1/6th of her health per cast LOOOOOOL. Is the fight any good?
>>483514385why are you signing all your posts its wierd
>>483516447same and pretty much the only ones i missed were in those stupid fucking pot shadows
you're much much better off trying to reduce equip load for light roll rather than get like the 10% phys damage reduction from having heavier armor on. A lot of Radahn Consort's moves are easier dodged when you're further away from his follow ups. Also allows for more rolling R1s with range.
>>483516484the NPC summons are so rancid (even Igon despite his kino factor), they actively make the bosses harderif you're going to summon, it should be your own spirit ashes or nothing
>>483516331It basically bleeds in one cast on big targets so in 3 man groups it does stupid numbers. Bosses like the finger mother get 10-15k chunks per cast.>>483516237I am not really sure, I'm hoping they do get buffed and if not at least the staff looks nice. Alberich set supposedly works on them.
>>483515736If you are into guro check Ayaswan series, he has a series with Milicent, Malenia, Hyeta (without text, just images), Sellen, Roderika and Nepheli.
>>483515736
>>483516039>>483515568He knows what lordship vs aspiring lords is, I think like the other anon said, Marika ending is the canon ending for the DLC.
So far I've disabled Putrescent and Romina for multiplayer. Probably Gaius and Hippo next. Almost certainly Rellana too.Maybe I should just disable all the bosses. Or the DLC.
>>483516502metyr is just ultra squishy, anything ranged shits on her, especially lightning since the arena is covered in water
>>483516594I'd rather have a fuck load of stamina.
>>483516545it's also against global rule 13
>Tarnished just ignores Shadowlands>By the time Miquella's plan start rolling, Tarnished is already Elden LordDo you think Miquella, Leda, and Mesmer would feel pretty ridiculous about it all?
>>483516237I think its also buffed by Alberich's set, so its demolishing things.
>>483516424Crazy religious women are my personal taste, but my wife is one so I'm a bit biased.>>483516436She's great. I always bring her out on repeat or gank bosses. Only thing she struggles with is AoE spam.>>483516601I don't think Igon increases the boss's HP since you summon him from inside the arena, but you're right in general. Trying to summon both of the dudes available for Radahn makes him a massive tank.
>>483516641Don't forget Messmer dialogue too
Mesmer was so fucking easy wtfI was convinced he was gonna have a second health bar
>>483516754i think the idea is that Miquella is trying to usurp/go around the Elden Ring
>>483514550SPLIT YOUR LUNGS WITH BLOOD AND THUNDER
>>483515734>Leda you need to help me create more followers for MiquellaI think it woud work
>>483513434Yeah he’s Leonard’s gay lover
>>483516754>Mesmer would feel pretty ridiculous about it all?Didn't he question Marika about your lordship in the cutscene?
t-thanks
>>483513429Bayle. The answer is Bayle.
>>483516969lmao this nigga gay as fuck
>>483514550BASED
>>483516798>Crazy religious women are my personal taste, but my wife is one so I'm a bit biased.Paladins are sexy and I usually hate religious girls.>>483516845He wouldn't really be able to do shit if Ranni or Marika were back around, or if the Dark Souls flame was unleashed.
Tiche fucking sucks what in the FUCK are you faggots on about? God you retards make me feel like I'm living on a different plane of existence or some shit.
>tfw you realize the "gods" that the Godskin Apostles hunted were probably the Hornsent's "sculpted keepers"
>>483516819That's something I found a little odd. Bosses had phase transitions but I felt odd that it was never clearing the their first bar.
after some experimentation, not only are light greatswords fantastic weapons in the main hand, they're really good off-hand weapons too they've got the poke with good range and they're attack chain has sweeps fuck the Milady might be the MVP of this DLC
These pieces of shit, all variations of them, are by far the most annoying fuckers in the entire game.
how do I make the fist guy talk to me?
>Found a host summoning for a boss with 500hpWHY
>>483515736Melina build?
Bros I do not understand how to beat RadahnThis shit is beyond me
>>483517028>lady of percent damage and much dodging sucks?
>>483517126ask leda
REMINDER THAT RADAHN WAS ALREADY NERFEDHE WAS MUCH HARDER IN THE REVIEW COPYYOU ARE LITERALLY WORSE THAN A GAMES JOURNALISTYOU ALREADY BEAT THE NERFED VERSION OF RADAHNYOUR ACHIEVEMENT IS NOT IMPRESSIVEYOU ALREADY BEAT THE NERFED VERSIONHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHHAAH
>>483517110pathetic
I hope that they buff Carian Sovereignty so that it has hyper armor on light greatswords as well.
>>483517034how do you come to that conclusion
>>483517127Why'd you activate the summon portal for that one?
>>483517194You okay anon?You good?Need some water?
>>483517028The one I don't get people saying is good is the headless one that chucks spears and teleports. Does no damage and looses aggro. At least Tiche can do good scalable damage and survives under aggro.
>>483515215i've been stunlocked in that move in release though. unable to roll out. just happened before.ps4
>>483517165rot him and block his attacks
>>483517194Give me access to the original version of Radahn and I promise you I'll defeat him just as easily.
>>483516641>>483516802Miyazaki said it wasnt. It's not ranni's either.
>>483515550DUDE WHAT IF EVERY BOSS JUMPED ON TOP OF YOU OR SHOOTS A LASER INTO YOUR FACE RIGHT WHEN YOU ENTER THE ARENA
>>483517110>Mimic tearKEKAROO
>>483517286It's the Inquisitor, not usually a hard boss but come on.
>>483517249>45fp for a worse waves of darkness you can put on any swordmeh
>>483517194Bro I am on ng3 his damage is beyond insane and I can't get out of the nuke range. That gravity shit seems undodgeable if I get hit by the suction too. Never have I been more frustrated than by Radahn's phase 2.>>483517318I don't want to cheese him though.
>>483515424that would be so much better just swap em around
>>483514550Saved.
>blast through every thing solo>join friend for his playthrough>keeps getting insta killed and baby ragingi now understand where are the hate is coming from
Holy SHIT, CRUCIBLE MEANS JARBravo Miyazaki
>>483517313also light load. it's happened a few times.considering consoles and pc have different scaling for at least one weapon, it might still be the same in console.
>>483517249AoW have literally just turned the game into an L2 simulator >AoW were a mistake
finally, about damn time. this better be the hardest dlc ever or i'm gonna call all of you pussies
>>483517612Post updates please
>>483517194>YOU ARE LITERALLY WORSE THAN A GAMES JOURNALISTHow the fuck am I worse than a games journo when I never had the chance to fight the original version?I beat this one just fine
>solo taunting in the lamenter gaol>map layout is confusing so idk where to go>get invaded by red>can't find him for 15 minutes>during this time 4 blues spawn in and sever out>he was waiting for me at the end of the dungeon>the dude waited 15 minutes for this
>>483517450>I don't want to cheese him though.If you don't want to hide behind a greatshield then parrying is the next best option
>>483517612It's harder than a Catholic priest outside of a kinder garden.
>NOOOOOOOOOO YOU HAVE TO ROLL TWENTY TIMES IN A ROW TO BEAT THESE BOSSES!!!!!!https://youtu.be/CKtAZPm1yw4your excuse now?
>>483516638Oh boy the best part about this series that is the only series where he takes seriously the lore and do the character justice.
Is Ancient Dragonwife Florissex a good spirit ash? I just got her.
>>483517661Can I really parry the bullshit he's doing in phase 2? I assumed I would get hit by the orbital bombardment and didn't even try after seeing it.
The three fingers owns Melina.
>>483517698I don't rollI use greatshields
>>483517698Joseph Anderson won't like this....
>invade in storeroom>host and 2 summons immediately take elevator to the storeroom first floor grace down and try and force me to come down there to fight them in the open>ride the elevator down, kite them around, ride it back up>sit on button so it doesnt go down>host is sitting at base of elevator hopefully hanging himselffuck you double summon faggot now im playing runescape
Reminder the only thing Ranni did wrong was turn Godwyn into a mutant eldritch monster, and that was by accident.
>>483517145Not me but yes
Whoever voiced Igon needs a fuckin raise. Best Fromsoft NPC by a country mile.
>>483517028>Dodges most attacks>%HP DoT that she lands a lot>Two attacks that will stagger even large enemies>SucksWhat the fuck are you comparing her to, anon? Only Mimic Tear is better, and that's assuming your build is good for MT.>>483517297Lhutel is found very early and has good survivability compared to most other ashes that the average player would have by then.
>>483517194I guess it doesn't matter if I brought in Tiche then.Thanks anon you made me feel better.
>>483517654sounds like a skill issue, in particular a social skill issue where you lack the connections and networking to land you a review copy
Ok so I'm doing a 2nd replay of the DLC with no shield (poison fist arcane) and the input delay is finally getting to me on PC. I've always played str + greatshield so I never cared too much but this shit is agonizing now. I've read some things about people rebinding dodge to a different button/key in steam mappings before, anyone know what the deal is? I'm just getting frustrated at this point because my dodge rolls come out a clear whole fucking second after I press the key and I can't do this. Please help
>>483515568Unless you're a frenzy flame you're the lord of the old orderEvery other ending is marika's order but with a different rune Marikas order but more omenMarikas order but more undeadMarikas order but less intervention from marikaEven ranni's ending is marika's order but you go to space with itYou do not change the order from marikas, no matter what ending you pick its all marika's ending. It's why she guides you along ranni's quest if you do it. It's still her order>>483515886>>483516641>>483516802Are correct. There's only 1 non marika ending and that's frenzy flame.
>>483517391Anything to speed this shit up. I hate these stupid camera-destroying worms.
>>483517698>No Buffs>6 buff symbols under health bartry again
>>483517698AAAAAAARGGGGGH NOOOOO IT'S ROLLSLOP IT'S ROLLSLOP
>>483517652the flipping chakram guy already killed me
>>483517368likely goldmaskthat's the one that doesn't change much and is sequel bait
How do you do a proper Faith/Dex build?55 Faith 55 Dex with Lightning Armament?
>>483517698This does kinda prove my theory. The boss designs aren't actually bad at all. It's just the scadutree fragment system that sucks. They should've just had a recommended level for the DLC and then balanced it that way.
>>483517087>no poise>no poise damage>low ar>milady loons like shitYeah, MVP alright
When we became Elden Lord marika is ressurect and gets a 100% body again? How does it work? And how did Marika became god?
>>483517194nahthat move is the same in my version. it's instant death and you can't roll out of it if the first lands.
If you didn't kill radahn with miyazaki in the room, you didn't beat the game.
Imagine if in the final fight, theres a 0.01% chance Miquella has a bag of chips and throughout the fight you can vaguely hear him rummaging through the back and chewing a single chip
>>483518172How does Miquella become god? No one knows, they just are.Nice writing fromfags.
Leda's greatsword is not as bad as people sayThe damage is only average but there are worse things than being average
>>483517809lol get rattled
what scadutree level shoud I fight messmer at? I am only at 7
>killed Bayle in 15 seconds with the Rolling Sparks WAOk this thing is getting nerfed so hard patch 1. Use it while its hot folks.
>>483518247tumblr tier post, please neck
>>483518042It's frenzy flame.
>>483518073The boss fights are more fair and honest than most of the ones in the base game
>>483517698Kek, saving to use in /v/ threads to mindbreak trannies, this DLC 90% of all bosses attacks is about spacing than everything else, also its possibl even to do this boss without jumping if you get a good RNG, LMAO.
>>483518265That depends.. Can you survive one of his impales without getting completely rekt? If so then you're good to go. If not then you either need better defenses or more skibidi levels.
>>483517698wow i sure love running around and holding r2 now and againi beat radahn this way with antspur. it's fucking not a fight.
>>483513164>65fps when I have my shit capped at 90>low GPU/CPU usage>check cpu cores>cpu0 100% capped>other shit parkedgod can't these fucking gooks code
so is miquella dead or what
>>483517716>didn't find the dragon alter until after i killed bayle>have no idea who the fuck this chick isCare to fill me in on the cool shit i missed?
>>483518290Shut the fuck up, Malenia. Its not my fault Miquella chose Radahn over you.
I want to dual wield velvet sword of st trina. Would anyone want to give me theirs? I can give you anything else.
>>483518265I'd say 9-12 for an acceptable damage reduction.>>483518247It would honestly add more soul to the fight, Miquella gave up his fears after all, dude's gotta be bored.
>>483517809>>483518261Got the kill the host sent both phantoms home and I rode the elevator down and boned him. Finally some justice for invaders. Feels good man.
>>483517861Did you beat frenzy man yet?
>>483518351yeah man he had to adopt a special kind of way to fight because HES LEVEL 1 AND CAN'T ROLL
>>483518371Unironically japanese bethesda
>>483518298maybe if the secret malenia dialogue is a thing.i wouldn't mind a full game like the abyssal woods, just have towns and such with the same atmosphere. burned away landscape.
>>483517809basado
>>483518073Nah, scadutree fragments is a good system for DLCs, it rewards exploration and you can kill all bosses without it if you are good, the biggest problem is that you get the exact number of fragments that you need to max out your levels, it should drop at least 1 fragments on every single boss.
>>483518537you can do this with all the bosses at any level. it's a well known playstyle. you can outrun aoes. it was a tactic in ds3. some you have to run r1.
Why is consort radahn weak to rot if it's mohg's body?
>>483517913Controller? Wired or wireless?
if i understand correctly, siding with hornsent against leda locks you out of the later choice between ansbach and leda, thus locking you out of his bow?
>>483517406Anon, you can't even put them on the same weapons.They seem to do comparable damage, but CS has much a larger range and seems to do much more posture damage.
>>483517937Wait do ranni's ending is just marika's ending? Marika wins regardless?
Can I get a qrd on rolling sparks? The hell is it and where is it? How does the buikd work?
>>483515424It should be "VILE BAYLE, HOLY GRAIL"
>>483517824Ranni is responsible for all of the bullshit going down in this game. Put this foolish Ranni simping to rest.
Frame rate was so bad on PS5 I thought something was broken until I noticed Ray tracing was turned on
>>483518706is ansbach's bow worth it?
>>483517809Total summontranny death. Good job anon.
>watch no damage radahn run>all I have to do is stay close and the attacks I have issues with just won't happenBros. I will be beating this fucker tomorrow.
>>483516212This and mimic are the only ones I upgraded. So far.
Does anyone know how lamenting visage works in pvp?
>>483517368source
Netflix Miquella
>>483518794https://youtu.be/v20jFYM0nLI?si=ROEgpLcBcSlsiI6xits a sweaty dps build but its crazy.
Be honest, which npcs did you kill?
>>483518285What other gay bosses can i cuck with that?
>>483518918Rape status?
>>483518841if you like using bows, yes.
>>483518850Nah maybe the day after tomorrow, bro
>>483518667Im more saying if you don't like the playstyle that was demonstrated, it's simply cause has insane restrictions. He probably can't even use many of the colossal weapons and certainly very few damaging magic or incantations. The best strategy at that low of a level without the ability to immediately retaliate from an invincible roll is to use charged R2s.
>>483518939Welp, better abuse before they fix.
>>483518954All 5 in fight club.
Are people just dogshit or is it the normies new to soulsgames? I see people complaning about Gaius being unfair and bugged and needs a nerf. I beat him second try. Messmer gave me more trouble.
>>483518954HornsentAnsbachI regret killing Ansbach
>>483518960Radahn. I think its probably good on everything honestly, you just need to hit stuff on the ground.
>>483518265>>483518384cool. been trying to fight him with a pure str build, but its getting on my tits, so I will get more scabus after my break
>>483518954>Leda>Freja>Moore>Dane>HornsentOff the top of my head
>>483514146>leda wastes her time to go after hornsent>hornsent being the only one going after messmer, who needs to be killed for their plan to succeedWhat the fuck is Leda's problem?
>>483514621Anything that can bleed the shit out of him while he's stuck doing his countdown attacks.
I wonder why people even care about which ending is canon, we aren't getting a sequel and in dark souls 1 and 2 both endings are canon done by different people as seen with Londor existing.
ER was shitBG3 was shitDD2 was shitSotE was shitI might just kill myself. Gaming is fucking dead. Only good thing to cone out since like DaS fucking 3 is Stellar Blade, and that game's only about as long as SotE.
Why in the world does Gaius become intangible during his charge? It's not even a big damage reduction, my spells just go through him.The Fallingstar Beast encourages hitting the charge... and you're just supposed to wait for this guy?
Can you powerstance a great katana and a regular one?
>>483518285I tried and while I can get a few thousand damage per cast out of it I never get the 10k+ like webms here show. 3-6k is what I usually getIt's also really clunky to use, if the boss feels like moving around a lot you will miss and bosses in this DLC move a lotEven with that said it is obviously overpowered and will be nerfed
>>483518702Steam controller, wired. I've tried fullscreen, borderless, windowed, wired, wireless, capping framerate to 58-59, using flawless widescreen, not using flawless widescreenThis shit is driving me crazy the input lag is fucking unbearable. it's so bad when I'm mid r2 and hear the stagger I fucking mash right on the dpad and it takes me god damn 3 seconds to finally swap over to the dagger for the critical. I can't even swap off 2handing my weapon sometimes in time to throw boulders from afar it's fucking infuriating i can't take this shit
>>483518992I just died to messmer
What was Miquella and his followers plan if the Tarnished didn't come along?
>>483519148uppity lil dsgigger... needs slurm correction...!
Is there any reason to use the dancer blades when backhand blades exist? If the set was something crazy like 40% damage to dance skills I could see it having a use but it's only 10%.
>>483519148Do it. Use a doorknob and a belt. Real easy. Robin Williams suicide method of choice.
qrd on the perfumer bottle build to kill radahn? what buffs do I need?
Miquella's Light is very underwhelming damage for how long it takes to cast and how difficult it is to land
>>483519148Why "DS3 was my first game" babs think that their game is actually a masterpiece?
>>483519148>DaS3 good>ER badMaybe your parents will get you Vbucks for your 15th birthday?
>>483519161>my spells just go through him.I thought I was going crazy when my bolt of gransax lightning wasn't hitting him during his charge, I don't know why that's a mechanic of his
>>483519148Anon none of those games are badYour depression is the problem, take your meds
>Had to restart the game twice in the last hour because of "Inappropriate activity"I hope this shit gets fixed sooner rather than later
Is it not weird to anyone else that people who don't like Elden Ring decided to play Shadow of the Erdtree lmao
>>483519241Coming to rape ill invade
>>483514550melville would be proud
>>483517698this is almost the same way people would cheese ishin in sekiro, just run around and poke when the one opening attack happens, boring as shit
>>483519112>Starts suspecting all of her friends and companions>Never suspects (You), the random dude who went around killing a bunch of demigodsLeda is a little retarded, forgive her
Friendos we got one more week before that gay mod updates so invasions are only alive for 7 more days.
>>483519112She should have had a mini-miquella to cart around with her.
>>483519290My first Souls game was Demon's Souls (2009) ackchuyally
>>483519148Wow look at this guy, he hates all popular games, damn you're so so cool, please fuck my pussy
>>483519403yes, this is something you have to do when you can't use 90% of the weapons available and can't use the primary defensive tool in the entire game
(You) THERE! Post your Tarnished IMMEDIATELY!
>>483519148Okay hope you do it bye.
>>483514146>literally the first second he sees you, messmer realizes you're marika's chosen lordHow did Leda not know
>>483518954none. can you just kill leda early get her shit and avoid the fight club?
>>483519148>ERIt was good but I was getting bored with how fucking long it was. I just don't have it in me. >BG3Act 1 really was king but this was great. Just overstayed it's welcome for me but I like doing every quest available to me before wrapping up a game. >DD2Waiting on a sale. >SotEIt's ok. At least armored core was great. And stellar blade. But I do find myself not caring about a lot of new games that come out.
>>483519590the snake smelled marika on you
People who legitimately think Stellar Blade is good scare me. Actual soulless slop.
>>483514850Can easily be jumped over however, like all of his flame attacks I was getting filtered by the phase transition for a while
>>483518373You missed a literal dragon wife, an OP buff incant, a stone heart that turns you into her and buffs dragon cult spells, and her mace that has Nameless King's weapon art only it also buffs lightning damage to the target.She's pretty based, sorry for your loss.
Either the carian sorcery sword gets a huge buff or I personally shoot myazaki with a gunI mean it
>>483517716i like that she has voiced dialogue in combat>>483518373you have to give her thiollier's concoction at night
I got eaten by a giant olm thing wtf is it
>>483519516>can'the can though, he just decided to handicap himself to try to look cool for reddit updogs
>>483518954I'm going to make an effort to kill Hornsent and Moore early in every new playthrough. Fuck both of them.
>>483518954I haven't killed any but I'm so fucking over this DLC and I've obviously missed all the milestobe of it that I'm probably just gonna kill all of them (which I think is just Leda at this point) for her armor.
Is it just me or do magma wyrms look like Bayle? Bayle's talisman also increases magma incantations. Are dragon communion warriors cursed to become like Bayle?>Rock Heart>The last thing the partaker saw with human eyes was a sunset, its colors faded and tarnished—a remote thing from eternity.Is dragon communion secretly a scam?
Why do people take the pvp in these games seriously instead of just picking up Tekken or something
>never met this cool "Curse you Bayle" guy that everyone is raving about>Bayle is already deadhow much good stuff did I miss from him?
>>483519590I do find it odd the DLC characters make a big deal about you being Marika's lord, like in the base game that was not an established thing, Marika didn't really come into it, right?
>>483519759>i like that she has voiced dialogue in combatOnly her? There's a couple new NPC ashes right?
>Nothing here>Have no idea how to interact with the bell>complete dead end
>>483519617>DD2>Waiting on SaleI actually wouldn't even buy this shit on sale. I'd wait for an expansion at least. The game is one of my biggest disappointments in gaming. I waited 12 years for a very mediocre sequel because Capcom had no faith in the game. Yet they still had the audacity to charge 70 bucks and throw in useless microtransactions.
Miquella is an allegory for all the sweetbois who got groomed and pinkpilled by man trannies (mohg) on discord into cutting off their dicks
>>483519782let me guess, you're one of the people complaining about the bosses being rollslop
>>483519737The general consensus is that it's bugged and it gets no sorcery scaling when you upgrade it, so it'll get fixed for sure. I'm pretty sure it's gonna take another week for the balance patch tho.
>>483517716Yes, she's kinda squishy, but she uses her incant, her weapon, dragon claw, and knight's lightning spear all at full (or nearly so) power.
>>483519871autistic hyperfixations don't usually come from a place of reasoni will simply win using my cool themed build with unoptimized stats
What are the odds that most of the bosses in the game and DLC are shit because of the FPS lock or general performance issues on behalf of FROM's part?
>>483519881He's just some faggot crying in the street somewhere. He never moves from that spot. I feel like 80% of the shit these people are talking about is shit they made up.
>>483517716Does she love us?
>>483519847>It's said these land-bound dragons were once human heroes who partook in dragon communion, a grave transgression for which they were cursed to crawl the earth upon their bellies, shadows of their former selves.We've always known that dragon communion can end with them turning into magma wyrms. Its a fucking pyramid scheme, magma wyrms exist to drop hearts for other drake warriors to eat. The hope is for the strongest one to kill Bayle
>>483519847I mean, we just found out Dragon Communion was created by Placidusax so yeah, kind of a scam
>no holy perfume>no bleed perfumefuck
>>483519881his drops are nothing special if you're worried about that but the character is fun
>>483519902You shouldn't have expected itsuno to learn. He doesn't. He never did. Japs in general rarely do.
>>483519902I was looking forward to it and everyone who received it, even ignoring the mtx, saying it was just ok sucked. I'm looking forward to jet set radio 3 whenever that drops....and that's about it. Feels bad.
>>483517698watch people cope by saying they could totally do the same but it would just be too boring or the game is forcing them to change their build. Note that these people were calling these bosses impossible to beat without rolling just a couple days ago.
>>483519248Considering Miquella genuinely didn't seem to plan for his great rune to break, the same shit that would have happened if the Tarnished did come along. I imagine Ansbach would've taken the reins once the brainwashing wore off, but it's anyone's guess if he would've been able to get enough allies on his side to challenge Leda.
>>483517698I actually think this showcases fairly well how poorly designed ER, and by extension SotE, fights are in general. It's "optimal" to outspace the enemy and simply run away and bait out attacks than it is to dodge them using the basic tools we've been using for half a dozen games now. Don't get me wrong, I'm not trying to shit on ER or say it's the worst shitty game ever, but this really does show that From's attempts to one-up players and their learned skills has been pushed so far that it's best to basically forget those skills and play the game a completely different way. I think that's poor design. If this were a traditional RPG or a CRPG or something, people would shit on this for being akin to a spiteful/overbearing DM instead of a genuine experience. I really like Elden Ring for a lot of reasons, but I really do think it has the weakest gameplay of the series because of this. These games were better (and more satisfying IMO) when they were smaller in scope and more tightly balanced. I actually prefer when bosses were puzzles, if anything. I still appreciate ER on many levels for what it is, and I know my post will probably get ignored by the cult-like attitude on display around this game anyways.
>>483519996O.They're shit because they hit too goddamn hard, input read, and never stop attacking.
>>483520082>>483520012oh ok thanks, at least I found the qt priestess. First playthroughs are fun but I'm going to follow a guide in the next one so I dont miss stuff like this.
>>483520012Don't talk about Igon like that. That's my nigger you're talking about, show some respect.
>>483519889I chose their weapons, so I don't know if Queelign and Jolan have dialogue as ashes, would be good to check
>>483519871this is every game whether its competitive or casual and the reason is autism. Its on devs to make environments that play to the strengths of the game rather than autism which fromsoft could have fixed by introducing a 6-man or 3v3 pvp area but nope get fucked 3v1 for eternity so shitters can get carried through the game
It's really frustrating when you think you've been doing pretty well on a boss, only to realize he's only at like 80% because you've actually just been dodging the whole time and had basically no opportunities to punish it.
>>483520167Im in the opposite boat where I found Igon but completely missed the priestess, by the time I got down there she was gone and just left a heart sitting there.
>>483520190They don't...You can pair Jolan up with her sister to summon both of them. Absurdly expensive (144 FP), and they only really work against things weak to bleed.
Let's play a game. Open the fextralife's armor page and take a shot every time you see a set with exposed legs.
>finally beat radahn>all it took was to learn to dodgeroll towards him>would still get clipped from bullshit angles occasionallyJesus fuck I lucked out with a stagger to let me get that last hit in
>>483520175>wahhh my butt hurts why doesnt bayle love me. Just leave me here, owwwwFuck Igon. Fuck SotE
>>483520134they never would have been able to beat Messmer without us though.
why are there shadows in some placesbut then not shadows at all when you're at the bonfi- grace
>>483519915what the fuck does "rollslop" even means? greatshields are op and mandatory jump attacks are everywhere. a lot of the bosses in the dlc are in general very unfun though.
>>483519112imagine if fucking godfrey showed up and leda welcomed him as a compatriot
>>483520150>long winded rant>passive-aggressive "I know fromdrones are not gonna care UwU"I will ignore your post, not because of your criticism, but because you're a animeposter and a huge bitch
>>483519903Except miquella is confirmed to have charmed mohg and made him do that
>>483519571did i miss the 1st week fashion collage
Alright bros, shield build me I'm a broken man.
>>483520150>Don't get me wrong, I'm not trying to shit on ER or say it's the worst shitty game ever,Then you're wrong, because it is.
>>483520363Thanks for proving my point dummy
What does the lamentors mask do? Just make you look gross?
>>483519571I'm so happy its over, this fight took years off my life.
FUCK THE FLASKI DON'T NEED IT
>>483520398How is that scythe in bosses
>>483520150Based animeposter right as usual
where do you find the second dryleaf art?
>>483518073It really is just the damage and ridiculous health pools.
>>483520509Holy FUCK why didn't I think of this
>>483520509now this is Bloodborne
>>483520150good post, elden ring boss design feels like enemy placement in ds2. they want you to die and suffer because this is a le hardcore souls prepare to die™ game and who cares about player enjoyment.
>>483520509Is that Malenia's rune or something? Ghiza wheel is my favorite weapon in the game and I would like to know this bullshit sorcery you are doing
Do I need to summon Ansbach for Radahn? I feel like I could win pretty easily if he wasn't there.
>get to skibidi bowl behind shadow keep>they just hand you 5 scooby snackswow they just fucking gave up
>>483520150Sekiro gives me faith that they can still design amazing fights, and that if anything rolling is chaining them down; it needs to be left behind or severely reworked in some way. The implementation of so many jumpable attacks in the DLC is proof of that, I think.
>>483520150it isn't better, he isn't doing it because it's a challenge run you retard
>>483519571>Black Knight SetBased i wish it had a cape tho....
>>483520586at the end of the game when you kill dane
So now that we know that every ending besides frenzied flame is still fundamentally marika's order but slightly altered, which ending is canon? Let's say there's no elden ring 2 as they currently don't have plans for it. Which ending do you think will be chosen since they're all essentially the same as a whole, even rannis.
>>483520734Well I enjoyed and had my fun, so whats the problem?
>>483519248I don't even know what Miquella's plan was>need radahn to be his lord so the divine gateway ritual can work>radahn doesn't get killed by malenia>wait for someone to kill radahn at the festival (did he organize this? he knows about it, but none of his representatives are there)>his soul is now free>enchant mohg so he can enter the shadowlands (for some reason mohg is needed for this, unclear why)>wait for someone to kill mohg so that his body can be used for radahn's vessel (why mohg?)>then get someone to kill messmer so his kindling can be used to burn the sealing tree to reveal the tower that has the divine gateway>meanwhile, miquella will be slowly abandoning his body and emotions so he can ascend>this process seems to be happening concurrently with our own journey, as he abandons his great rune midway throughAlso, I guess the implication is that Leda is the one who dragged Mohg's corpse into the Shadow Realm and up to the Gateway. That's a funny image
>>483520841>at the end of the gamebut I already killed himhe comes back?
>>483518647It didn't even need to just be bosses it should just be in clearly defined areas like seeds since they were always by the trees that you could easily see. Instead you get to find a shadowman in the middle of an empty field holding a pot.
>>483519571
>>483520498Advice, the damage output and AOEs are ridiculous.
>>483520761Of fucking course they did, they demand like 50 to get the peak of this stupid system but lacked the courage to say "wait, 50 is a stupid amount, even maxing the flask doesn't take that much."So out of stubborn pride, they bandaid "fixed" this dumb shit.
>>483520509So they DID buff Malenia's rune. That's pretty good.
>>483520734>elden ring boss design feels like enemy placement in ds2The enemy placement in the DLC is retarded too
>>483520854I want another dlc
>>483520887>>enchant mohg so he can enter the shadowlands (for some reason mohg is needed for this, unclear why)The hornsent bodies are representations of Abundance.
>>483519590She was charmed by the rotten Tarnished.
>finally get to DLC on character I had rolled>find recipe for new throwing pots and make one>decide to wait to use it on a boss>go to some graveyard, boss gate>some dude with a crossbow>pot time>instead of throwing a pot, my character lifts a giant fucking jar above his head>boss fires volley of bolts in my character's cock>character wails like a retard who just learned the fast-food is out of tendies as he yeets the jar into the boss' face and dies>mfwNot even mad.
This DLC butchered Radahn. I'm so sorry Radahnbros.
>>483520743yeah, they buffed it real good. i've got 700 hours in this game and i'm only just trying ghiza's wheel, and it's just ridiculously fucking good. i'm sad i fell for the quality builds are shit meme, because this thing alone makes up for it all.
Why Miquella has 4 arms?
>>483520889you loot dane's footwork off his corpse
>>483520854Fracture because it has the absolute least requirements.
>people calling a level 1 no roll challenge run the most optimal way to beat a bossare you all stupid? You can find people trivializing these bosses with OP magic and incantations or rolling through the attacks to demolish the bosses in a minute flat
>>483520854I hope it's age of order because I want to see all the people insisting it's the optimal outcome with zero flaws get fucked.
>invade>3 guys camping in an empty field with no enemies>invade>3 guys camping in an empty field with no enemies>invade>3 guys camping in an empty field with no enemies>invade>3 guys camping in an empty field with no enemiesDoes anyone actually use co-op to play the game
What's less work to kill Radahn:Bleed Arm R2 spamorRolling SparksI don't have any of the shir Rolling Sparks so I have to go source all that shit first, and I have to respec either way
So why did Miquella abandon his flesh and other stuff exactly?
>>483521019To cup your balls, tweak your nips, and play with your butthole while he sucks.
>>483521019He has 1 arm and two magical ones
>>483520509omg is just like blooburn>>483520530pretty good. L2 is a very nice evasive maneuver, it's like dynast's finesse but you can go in multiple directions. the first follow up R2 does a good amount of damage to health and poise but on most DLC bosses you usually don't have time for the second R2. i'd recommend putting mostly dex into it but also having a respectable amount of arc for higher bleed.
>NOOO YOU HAVE TO FIGHT THE BOSSES BY CONSTANTLY RUNNING AWAY AND POKING THEMhttps://youtu.be/1nBzPM6cfY0your excuse now?
>>483520854Probably Fia ending or just normal ass ending, Ranni will do her shit anyways with or without you, it will be just canon that you helped her.
I think scadufragments are a good system actually. How else are you going to force people to explore and not steamroll this shit with their level 300 ng+2 builds?
>>483520751>not summoning him and Thiollier and giving them a hero’s deathIt’s like you don’t have a soul.
i've really enjoyed the cerulean coast. not much there, but great to ride through and explore.
>>483520856the problem is that instead of getting a cool and fun last boss fight like say, gael, we get canceraids that 90% of the playerbase skips with fingerprint shielf or rolling sparks.
>>483519881He's got great VA that yells really loudly every time you summon him. All you really missed is his greatbow, anti-dragon arrows, and his armor.https://youtu.be/pIbdSz_R_SI?t=240
>>483520907I had to get disgusting with parries. Golden Vow, Howl of Shabriri and Bloodsucking Cracked Tear boosted my damage early on so I could go into phase 2 with actual flasks. Sorry if you're not Faith focused since that advice wont work. There's better cheese strats though:>>483518939
>>483520734It's not just boss design... enemy placement itself feels exactly like DS2. I can only "haha lel" so many times about enemies hidden behind corners and gank squads tailor made to be as tedious as possible. I don't know the popularity of Lies of P around here, but I actually think it did a phenomenal job at breaking up the "monotony" of progression through areas by designing challenging minibosses in a sort-of checkpoint fashion. I feel like Souls used to do this too, but it's nowhere near as present in Elden Ring. Sure we have some horned knights every now and then but the ratio of those to gank squads is heavily in favor of the latter.>>483520770I just replayed Sekiro before the DLC and agree actually. I hate to bring it up a 2nd time in the same post because I know how tribalistic people are around here, but Lies of P felt like a game that really learned from the innovations of Bloodborne and Sekiro where Elden Ring didn't at all. I think Elden Ring is the better game, but purely gameplay feel Lies of P knocks Elden Ring out of the park and I'll fight anyone who says otherwise to the death. I agree about jump attacks but I wish it was designed better overall. Outside of the ground slams there's 0 indication of what can or can't be jumped, and many things that shouldn't be are. The hitboxes make 0 sense.
>>483521092I only activate the shrines closest to the boss. Fuck invaders you deserve it.
Is there anything down that pit with the trees or is it just an empty hole in the map?
Can I just sprint through the part of crumbling with all the wormfaces and grab everything important or is some shit hiding inside of enemies?
Im going to invade before radahn
B-bros https://x.com/zedintruder/status/1803787458515267609
>>483521270Sorry, I forgot to mention that Howl of Shabriri triggers madness which lets you boost your damage via Aged One's Exultation talisman.
>>483520150Although I don't find the core of your assessment wrong>If this were a traditional RPG or a CRPG or something, people would shit on this for being akin to a spiteful/overbearing DM instead of a genuine experience.You realize they didn't call it Dark Souls 4 for a reason, right?A more apt comparison would be getting DnD players into a different tabletop game system only for them to be exasperated when you explain that the system you're playing doesn't use the same "Natural 20 critical system" as DnD. Not all tabletops have to be DnD-like, and Elden Ring doesn't have to be anything like their previous games because it's a new IP and with new IPs generally come different design philosophies from pre-existing IPs.
>>483521092>co op>host dies to the boss>co op>i die to the boss>co op>host dies to the boss>co op>i die to the bossThis shit isn't fun for anyone.
>>483520854It's fracture or ranni's. They open up the most for sequels with the continuation of the cycle for the former and for the latter its the lands between fending for itself both offering more story options and is the most done ending. Both would be able to continue the setting.
>>483520887>wait for someone to kill radahn at the festivalRadahn's gonna die someday. Miquella's got nothing but time.
My thoughts on PvP after playing duels for a little bit>the backhand blade ash of war that teleports behind you and stunlocks you is genuinely broken>the new fire greatsword is really powerful but I don't think OP>kicks/punches/beast claws unfortunately kinda suck, they get knocked out of their animations too easily>the beast claws jump attack ash of war actually has the potential to be utter bullshit but I haven't actually seen anyone abuse it
Mostly realizing people love Sekiro because it's by far the easiest souls game
>>483521194To properly help ranni you'd have to marry her which doesn't make sense for fracture. She either gets her ending or is ignored and fracture is canon.
Sexy mod for Florissax/Priestess Heart Form WHEN?!?
So why is the Frenzied Flame ending the supposed “bad” ending? The demigods all destroyed the continent over a lust for power. Everything is in ruins, Caelid is literally a nuclear wasteland, the queen is dead, Rennalla is catatonic, Radahn is a zombie, Leyndell is abandoned, etc. What’s wrong with burning it all away and restarting? Just like how a forest regrows after a volcanic eruption.
>>483514550My OC.
>reduce tracking on most enemy attacks>make rolling primarily a tool for covering distance, with i frames being de-emphasized or nonexistant>make hitboxes more accurate across the board>make rolling take two or three times as much staminathere I fixed your series
What's the crucible and why is everything related to it so disgusting?Omens have to do with crucible right? And Erdtree avatars?
>>483521338Yeah, there's a boss in the upper right hand corner but you access it coming from the north.
>>483521617>and restartinghow?
>>483521669But it doesn't need fixing, the moment that Capcom nerfed monster tracking on Sunbreak the game became ultra easy mode and the game was already easy.
>>483521564well people already found the busted shitthe vergil slash you get from helping hornsent is almost undodgeable and unreactablethe fire knight greatsword is a guaranteed 2 hit combo on players... as a colossal greatsword, it completely destroys people in pvp
They need to halve or even quarter enemy damage across the board. Thern I'll play your stupid fucking game.
>>483521778*roll catches your reply*tch...nothin personnel...
>>483518954I murked that merchant at Mt. Gelmir who sold explosive great bolts a few times. I killed Millicent once for the talisman, that was for the lvl 40 challenge. I did not like it, but it had to happen.
>>483521564I'm so tired of dueling I wish it was removed so people would move to the other modes. God damn fromsoft for nerfing total players in invasions
>>483521617>and restartingAfter all this time people still don't fucking read the dialogue of Frenzied Flamethere is no restart you nigger
>>483521691Crucible are the animal people, you learn that later. They are just furries under that armor.
>>483521617Well... Because life goes on despite everything being fucked. Births continue. At least that's Melina's argument. Also I don't think Frenzied Flame is "Restarting". If you burn it all away I do believe this is like 99% end of everything with no chance of recovery.
Most of Elden Ring's problems are downstream of how excessively large the game is. The rest are largely problems that have persisted throughout the whole series that somehow still haven't been fixed.
>>483521824Thanks to entering this general about Elden Ring to show your problems with the DLC.
>>483518954well, these are the ones who showed up to fight me:psycho ledamoore the kindred (put him out of his misery)dryleaf danefreja
>>483521812>vergil slash you get from helping hornsentQue?
>>483514550Legit.
>>483521824hey bud you can just put on the talismans and use the livers that match the enemy you're fighting and that already happens
I still don't understand how to play it. I can't find any good gear or weapon so I just enhance my initial Katana. I'm still in the initial armor.
>hear people hyping abyssal woods>it's just two stealth segments depending from where you decide to go before reaching midra's manseIs there something more to this place? I already got the map and the perfume bottles. It's a cool concept, but like most things in this game it doesn't live up to the hype.
>helping out against radahn>host walks through gate>phase 2 cutscene automatically starts>full hp bar phase radahn right out the gateKEK wtf just happened
>>483521691>And Erdtree avatars?These fatties only appeared after the shattering, I don't think they're connected to the crucible>The avatars, emerging in the wake of the Elden Ring's shattering, were determined to protect the withering Erdtree's offspring.
>>483521982Yes.
>>483521982If you parry one of the stealth dudes near the church he drops a madness talisman
>>483521950not to mention the various red phantom invasions, of course.
>>483521962>70% DR from skibidis>enemies still hit for 900 damageNah.
So I found out that if you stand really fuck far away from bosses and shoot them with this spell, they will ignore you the entire fight and the spell has enough range to consistently hit.I had my bf make a tank build and he just tanked radahn while I was effectivly a living turret.Its ironic given Radahns first phase but honestly I dont regret beating the DLC this way. The aggression on some bosses is fucking stupid.
>>483521856Man I fucking agree I want to play the team games but I waited 5 minutes in each of them without a match, I ain't waiting that long. I don't know how there can't be any matches for those gamemodes when the DLC just came out and I get matches instantly for duels.
>>483521962nta but did I miss the super fire liver of the DLC? I killed Messmer already but the whole time I was thinking man I wish I had the pickled fire liver recipe
>>483521982It's just too large and too empty. Would it have killed them to put more items and maybe a mini-dungeon in there?
I know it would never happen but I was kinda hoping for a demihuman transformation item because I find running around as pathetic little rat man funny. But we got two different dragon transformations and stinky lamenter mask.
>>483521959it's called ash of war: swift strikebackhand blades onlyteleports you forward then causes a bunch of lingering strikes to appear behind youcannot be dodged on reaction as the animation is way too quickcannot be dodged in or out, you will always get hit
This thing is literal trash. Why is it so hyped?
>>483521618>>483514550Shit, I didn't realize it was spelt bale not bail.
How do you dodge this guys phase transition / big slam? I've already beaten him, but I never did figure out how to dodge it. Just roll better?
If you used perfumes or the chicken wing you didn't beat the game.
>>483522147you use two of them in pvp to be a hypernigger spamming running R2, it's not meant to be good in pve
Hey baker, when you post the new thread could you post any one of these along with it so your link can be found?>migrate>new thread>get in here
>>483522146>backhand blades onlyAh, nothing of value etc. etc.Goddamn I hate this game.
>>483521924>>483521913>>483521767No different from how the dinosaurs died.
>>483522147PVP only.
>>483521186What build is that? That looks cool
My confession:I cheated against Radahn. I turned on god mode and gave myself 50k health because I was so frustrated that I just wanted it all to be over.The shame stayed with me. I was literally thinking about it when I went to sleep and woke up. So I came back to it today, and I was able to beat it.I broke, but then I put myself back together.
>>483522189you just run away and make sure to the side farthest from you
>>483522147you have to powerstancethe absolute best weapons in the game are not the ones with the highest arit's actually just powerstanced swords or spears, any of themand in the case of the cross naginata it has innate bleed and is the longest spear by a small margin
>>483522147It's great in PvP when powerstanced, were you using it in PvE? it's lackluster there>>483522189You're supposed to sprint away
Jesus Christ
>>483522284It's more like throwing the Earth into the sunIt's not "kill everything and wait for new shit to grow" it's "destroy the foundation that new shit would be growing on"Reread FF, it's not the Age of Dark
>>483522189Rolling better or running as far away as you can assuming you're a sufficient distance away when the animation begins.
>>483522172It spelled Bayle you retard>>483514550I FUCKING KNEEL
>>483520887>wait for someone to kill radahn at the festival (did he organize this? he knows about it, but none of his representatives are there)Leda was too busy making sure the Haligtree was properly purged of anyone disloyal to Miquella to join the festival
>>483522147if you're an absolute cock sucker you dual wield these to abuse pvp collision otherwise it's a trash weapon
>>483518954Igon because I thought you were supposed to put him out of his misery
>>483522357Where? What piece of clothing?
So the general consensus is canon endings will be fractured, order, or ranni? Dungeater bros? Our response?
>>483522172good shit
So do we think that Radahn was mind-controlled, or did he want his bros dick?Also, Malenia was a good sister trying to get her brothers to fuck
>>483521450>You realize they didn't call it Dark Souls 4 for a reason, right?That's a very reductive argument to make when it shares 99% of its gameplay systems with Dark Souls. Dark Souls also isn't called Demons and Bloodborne isn't called either but the same logic applies to all of them. Saying Elden Ring is pathfinder to "Souls" D&D is extremely stupid and nowhere near applicable in this situation at all. They're not even so far detached from each other gameplay wise to act like they're different editions of D&D.
What do the overworld Golden Hippos drop? I assumed they'd give skibidi fragments but I have all 30 already.
>>483522397>It spelled Bayle you retardIdiot, it's a play on words as in a bale of hay.
Ignoring the helmet (which belongs to another set), is this Banished Knight Set better looking than the vanilla one?
>>483522227>he didn't beat the game with a steering wheelCasuals have to go back.
>>483522447Dungeater is probably a fucking hornsent who doesn't realize it at this point and is not only the worst ending but his entire ethnic group needs to be wiped out root and stem
>>483521691The Crucible is the primordial life force. Omens are born particularly touched by the Crucible
Thinking of making a daughter of rot type RP build, similar to Millicent and her sisters. Do you guys think I should go full dex with it, or maybe dip into some kind of faith/dex hybrid for some incantations? I know the daughters/sisters use stuff like the halo scythe and the winged scythe. But there's also not any good faith seals that scale with dex except frenzied flame I guess.
>>483522147it's the rivers of cum of spears
TIche SEXJolan SEXRellana SEXthat is all
>>483522429Random drop from one of those mobs with the spinning weapons>>483522447Hey, thats me
>>483522348>and is the longest spear by a small marginNo it's not you fucking retard.
>take a break>beat divine beast 2nd trybackhand blade feels pretty busted, too
>>483521450>A more apt comparison would be getting DnD players into a different tabletop game systemAll d20 systems are just D&D with a coat of paint because the d20 itself is the defining feature.
>the slow realization that dawns on my multi-character-having-ass that I might have to do this slop DLC 10 to 15 times for RP maxing>I might make more characters in the future, meaning more characters for this slop DLC
>>483519915the bosses aren't rollslop in this one, though. some of of them have combos that will one hit you if you miss just one roll.they're shieldslop. ds1-3 can be rollslop, but they were good for it.
>>483522429I think it's Ascetic's Ankle Guards.
>>483522590Of these, Cross Nagi, Pike, and Granssax are soulless pvp shit which sucks because Pike is kind of based and granssax is fun to use in pve
>>483522447As a rannifag who wants her ending to be canon, I'd take any other one over the horns*nt ending
>>483522147They're used by shitters who don't know what they're doing and read they were op. Powerstanced pikes is the real cancer used by sweatlords
>>483522147IDK, I stomped the DLC using Frost Spear with this weapon.
>>483522604The DLC is kino aside from the final boss. Consider yourself filtered.
>>483522483yes
are the final boss weapons any good?
>>483522357you just immediately know any host wearing this when you get summoned in for co op is going to get IMMEDIATELY oneshot by the boss
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=E73nGJocgAA
>>483522549Dex/Faith is a pretty mediocre build but you'll basically have to cope with FF or something similar for seals yeahIt's too bad scarlet aeonia has such high requirements. I guess you could just go full faith and only get enough dex for shamshir, just flame art or holy infuse it.
I've only upgrade 16 times and I'm already at fucking Radahn. I don't even know where I haven't been.
>>483522775Why aren't coomers good at the game? They have absolutely no life. They should be Elden Ring pros.
Why are Messmer and Midra so much more balanced and well designed on every level than every other boss in the DLC?
>>483522476>What do the overworld Golden Hippos drop?fragments>I have all 30 already.what did you mean by this, there are way more than 30 fragments
which weapon is the chicken wings everyone talks about?
So what was I supposed to do to dodge Midra's form change attack? Don't tell me I was supposed to jump. It doesn't even look like one you can.
>>483522830>onlyThe max is 20.

>>483522987Yeah, he likes disrespecting children's buttholes.
>>483522962Yeah I know. I can't even imagine where else to go to get the rest required to reach the max.
WOW this is SOOOOOO fun
>>483523096Just like Radahnwhat a hero
Didn't Miyazaki say there would be optional bosses as hard as malenia? The only boss that comes close is the mandatory final boss.
Yeah, I'm pretty sure Carian Sovereignty blows Waves of Darkness out of the water overall. Against the mountaintop trolls, CS is doing ~140% damage at a further distance, along with much more posture damage. With the magic cracked tear and the tear that boosts your posture damage, CS's damage goes to ~180% of WoD and instantly staggers the troll on the first hit. The biggest thing WoD has going for it over CS is that it costs half of the FP.

>>483523150Gaius?
>>483522465>good shitHere, have a gift.
>>483523150The DLC is optional. Thus, all bosses contained within it; optional.
>>483523127I still don't get why we're not allowed a 6 man area they would still have advantage as their magic can't friendly fire
>>483523043It absolutely can be dodged. The timing is really tight, but I did a number of times.
>>483523232Gaius is nowhere near as hard as Malenia once you figure out how to dodge his possibly bugged charge hitbox (you dodge directly into the pig)
>>483523165Morgott gets literally nothing. Even godfrey has a talisman at least

>>483523150Messmer is kind of like Malenia but with fire and snakes
>build planners still aren't updated FUUUUCK LET ME THEORYCRAFT RIGHT NOW
>>483523162Carian chads stay winning
>>483523165There should 100% have been a Cleanrot Knight in the party who talks about Malenia's deeds and how cool they think she is (and also gives you incantations and weapon arts). It's baffling that there's not.
>>483523382but we had arena AND anor londo in ds3
The Sekiro deflect tear is so much fun it pisses me off it isn't a default gameplay mechanic. Elden Ring would've been so much better if it was and was balanced around it.
>>483523439What part of "assimilate everything into oneness" do you not understand? Even if you glassed the entire surface of the earth and wiped out life completely across the entire universe down to the last microbe that's still not what Frenzied Flame is doing
>>483523165T-There's Finlay!
>>483520854>>483522447Let's go over it shall we, the only ic motivation we have is to become elden lord. This is constantly shown and miquella's remembrance says as much too. Throughout the game we are guided by grace, our motivations are assumed by npcs in the dlc to be based on marika. Messmer assumes you're following her and miquella calls you the lord of the old order in reference to your dream of becoming the lord of marika's order. So based on this the ending is one where marika guides you along that would fit her motives. Duskborn fills the place with undead, dungeater fills the place with omens, and frenzy kills everything. So that's not what she would want. Remember it's what MARIKA wants. Order is up in the air, so that's a potentiality. But marika leads us along for fracture and that has the least requirements. Marika also leads us down ranni's questline which has the most connections to other parts of the game, and as grace guides us down it, even to marrying her, that is clearly what marika wants. The only canon endings can be age of fracture or stars.
>>483523169Let me know when they're on the mapgenie
WOW this is SOOOO fun thank you miyazaki for making one way caves that invaders can't go through
>>483523559I see that tear as them stubbornly half-admitting that they should've included this in the actual game to begin with. Elden Ring would be a better game for it.
Every single one of gaius's attacks input reads your heals. it's fucking insane.
>>483523559>Elden Ring would've been better if we weren't stuck using combat mechanics from 2011WOAH there's a thought
>thought there would be no good arc weapons>some random turkey leg from disneyland is arc supremeJesus
>>483523559hopefully the speculation that the DLC was a b-team endeavor while they work on sekiro 2 was true
>>483523096false allegations post proof
>>483523619>pvp crybabyLOL
>>483523650The DLC was doing good for not input reading up until that guy, fuck him
>>483523162>enemy looks in your direction>get flinched out of itIt's trash
>>483523665Armored Core 7*
>>483523619Deserved lmaoweren't you going to show the hostcels your skills? get btfo again dumbass
>>483523150Maybe Midra was originally a total ballbuster but got toned down for launch
>>483523619>frenzyfag>big katana>girl characteryou deserve it troon
>>483523559Seriously, it's been gamechanging for every boss fight.They'll most likely nerf it because it's too fun though
>>483523748Use it on a greatsword, dork. You get insane hyperarmor.
>>483523619Sometimes you're gonna get untenable invasions. Sometimes you're gonna invade someone getting raped by an open world boss and kill him before he even registers you're there. That's the reality of things
>>483523807Does Milady count?
>>483523794The big problem for me is that it only works if you actually use a shield or a colossal or somethingRellana's swords? You're fuckedCaster off hand? You're fucked
Nothing like losing a level and half worth of runes because an enemy that never jumps off ledges glitches off of one and lands on top of you out of nowhere with a heavy attack while you're fighting something completely different...
what is that thrown hammer i swear that thing has 4 weapon arts
>>483523559Lords of the Fallen CHADS win again>>483523889No, unfortunately.
>>483523889Milady is called a LGS but it's actually just a long straight sword
>>483522598That's mainly what I was getting at. A different coat of paint still aspires to be different even if it's only different in a minor or shallow way.I think it's kinda silly to try to actively attribute any semblance maliciousness to it when it's just going for something different, even if it ended up being a superficial one at best.
>>483523165allow me to craft a Malenia NPC on the same level of OCness as Gaius>Cleanrot Knight Hilda>younger sister to Finlay, she was the final student of a swordsman garbed in blue>she won great honor in Malenia's celebrated campaign by personally slaying Godmund the Grafted>for reasons unknown to all except the twin empyreans, she was ordered to return to the haligtree on the eve of the battle of aeonia>wielder of the feather of malenia/branch of rot, paired faith katanas, one made of unalloyed gold, and the other a rotten branch of the haligtree>she's wears a butterfly-themed variation on the Cleanrot set>more than any other follower of malenia, she shows sympathy and kindness to the kindred of rotthere, you can even keep the forager brood around
>>483523747I normally don't even care. the godskin apostle's blackflame attack is input reading, but it's 1 attack, he doesn't do it every time, and you can avoid it everywhere you fight one easily enough. This guy has a counter attack at every range, and the typical zero-punishment/healing time of all the DLC bosses and just instantly transitions into a move that negates your heal.
>>483523981You can put ashes on all the smithscript weapons
>>483523981Its R2 throws it and it can have a separate weapon art on L2 is how it isall the smithscript weapons work that way
>>483520020She loves her lord.
I hate the cape and the iron skirt on rellana's armor so fucking much, it ruins the armor. What's even the point of having a mechanic of altering armor appearance if you're not going to put any effort to make it available to most items?
i dont think i can kill the mcpoyles with gugs bros
>>483523580Am I using her incorrectly? Every time I summon her, she just ends up being a disappointment.
>Renalla got fucked over by love>Rellana got fucked over by love>Ranni falls in love with usOh no bros...
>>483519571Helping people with bosses.
>>483523594To add too, marika and ranni are the only ones you cannot kill, they're the only ones with the most lore, the ones that connect the most to other npcs, ranni has the least cut out quest if you look at how trimmed down the other quests are, and has the fromsoft sword behind marrying her. Everything points to fracture or age of stars.
>>483523036follow the high path down and go left. you have to go up some large rubble to find the path.
>>483523747Did we play the same dlc? They ALL input read. Roll away from a boss after a chain and do nothing. Sometimes they'll slowly move because they're literally waiting for an input to read
>>483524162I like Fracture because you sit on a cool chair.
Ranni the BITCH.
>>483524152
Why are hostcels such cocky pussies? The game is real easy when you get to spam spells in a 3v1, huh?
>It is a lion traps you in the corner and he starts spinning spewing BS episodeOh boy. I sure love my bullshit boss battles.

>>483524258Not true at all in my experience. They're all extremely aggressive
>scales with arcane >ash reduces lightning negation>only one (1) dragon communion incantation that deals lightning damage and it’s shitWhat was the point of this weapon?
>>483523991Man this game has so much potential but has a lot of garbage problems, 100%'d , played for like 300 hours but will never touch this shit again, people complain about ER reusing enemies/bosses but this game is basically Dark souls in level of linear and still has recycled bosses, enemy variety is ultra low, its basically 30 enemy types and 80% of them are bosses too.
why does he reply to himself after posting webms
>>483524317I dare you to invade me, bitch. It's time for your correction.
>>483523169Why did the game need 50 of these things? If they were concerned players would out-level the content then why not distribute far less of them throughout the main progression route instead of hiding these crucial upgrade materials in buttfuck cave or whatever that's separated by miles of literally nothing?
>>483522710Same. Don't understand why people suddenly call it trash for PvE.
>>483524447Makes me hope someone will make a combat overhaul mod at some point.
>>483519571Im not really sure why we killed Miquella. Was it because Mind Control bad or something? Usually Im all about free will but we see what people with free will do in the lands between and Shadow realm.
>>483524527don't think too hard about it
>fighting mohg with a fist build>charged r2s as he's doing nihil, so close i literally cannot get closer>3 r2s miss in a row despite literally clipping through his bodyBRAVO MIYAMOTO FANTASTIC GAME DESIGN
what's with the lack of invaders? i thought the dlc would have constant activity.
>>483524509Angone shittalking Frost Spear is probably filtered by its deceptively short range. Its strong as hell though.
>>483524416Alfred? Is that you nigga?
>>483524447It's my favorite Souls-like, but it could have used a lot more polish before they sent it out the door. I'm pretty happy with the updates it got, though.>This game is basically Dark Souls in level of linearIs that a bad thing? I always thought that the game had the best level design of any Souls clone.
>>483524481>I dare you to invade me, bitch. It's time for your correction.
>>483524595Invaders are generally shit at PvE so they haven't beaten the game far enough to reach the zones where PvP happens.
THIOLLER CAN GLITCH OUT AND NOT GO THROUGH THE FINAL BOSS FOG GATE, DO NOT SUMMON HIM
>>483524595It is bit weird, my coop summons pop in 1-5 seconds constantly but I very rarely see an invader even when the host takes his sweet time spamming signs for a second phantom as the signs keep timing out as they use them
Heart stolen? what the fuck is this bullshit? my character would never fall for this gay ass twink
>>483524152>try perfumes>try spiky shield>try milady >keep missing the backhand bladesThere's no way the first weapon the dlc gives you is the best, right? Is there anything that's both fun to use and also op? How are the claws?
>>483524719i'm at the literal start of the dlc with taunter's tongue active though
>>483524595>why aren't people coming to get cbt'd by my ganksquadenjoy dead multiplayer
I died a dozen times to this guy til I figured I might as well just cheese him with knockdown.
>>483522357Huge brown ass made for white men>>483522447You too
>>483523594>>483524162Then why give us the option to have other endings if they're just going to go with marika or ranni? That alone destroys your entire argument. They should've just made fracture and stars the only endings if something like the frenzy flame couldn't be canon.
i love not-darkdriftthat is all
>>483524595People have finally realized Elden Ring has the worst PvP in the series.
>TFW no carian princess gf to devote her entire being to and obsess over meWhy live bros?
>>483524758Yeah. My Tarnish melted his maiden, his face, his cock and balls + the whole world. he would never go for that shit.
>>483524595>>483524787Redcels are 3rd world poorfags and can't afford the dlc
>>483524734>Summon him>Get Radahn to second phase>See that Thioller is at full HP, think that we're doing super well>Realize that he's actually stuck at the boss fog too late
>>483524420You will always need Faith investment for a Dragon Communion build and Dragon Cult Incantations are a thing. Actually makes a lot of sense with the lore, since Florissax is an ancient dragon, it's likely well-versed in lightning magic
>>483524527Jokes aside, the fact that the game doesn't explain shit Its implied that it doesn't matter what ending we take ,we are still under Two-Finger influence, even Ranni ending, thats why we don't need reason, the "purpose to progress" in the game becomes a meta narrative of how the Two-fingers are the devs of the game putting a carrot to chase (and maybe Mitsubishi is the Greater Will and it explains why the lore of this DLC is so shit, because he is fucking twinks in Japan bars instead of directing his game)
>>483524856It's kino
>>483524527the whole point of the tarnished is to kill the demigods regardless of anything they've done.that's your goal.
>duel>invader walks up and one shot sleeps me with a shotgun crossbow>two shots me with his greatswordI aint even mad i cant believe thats a thing in this game
>>483524773This wasn't supposed to be a reply lol
>>483524595There are hundreds of thousands of hostcels right now competing for a small pool of invaders. No one is invading because it's shit and frustrating and everyone is playing the game.Also all the new weapons suck ass for invasions and the maps are fucking terrible70% of the dlc is an empty world with no mobs and the other 30% has fucking AWFUL summon spawns
>>483524527The Tarnished fucking loves murder.Why do you think there has to be a special enchantment on (You) to prevent you from attacking in certain areas?
>>483524990oh no I chose the ant version
>>483524904Right? honestly it would have been kino if you could counter that grab by having high vigor or strength or something. By having enough resilience we could punch that fucker away and do like 200 damage
Tell me about Igon's Greatbow. Is it good?

Do we get more info on the gloomed eye queen in this DLC? And about our maiden? Or is this just homosex the DLC?

Can we please admit that Elden Ring is the worst entry in the series so far.
>>483525008and this is just the start anon, hope you like ranged meta
How exactly does FP requirement for ashes of war work? I thought you were able to use it below requirement if it was the last bit of fp you had, but I have 1 fp and it's not letting me use it right now.
>>483525216The DLC soured me on the "story" and "characters". The Demi-gods were fucking retards.
>>483525190lol lmao
>>483525172That's kind of my issue with it right now. I might just mule it to a starting character or something.
>>483524959It's not the two fingers it's marika specifically. Rannis quest is about rebellion against them and she still follows marikas plans. We're established sent to the dlc by marika's grace. Every ending is just marikas but the frenzy flame and dung eater.
>>483524758If he kisses you again you die
>>483525216>only one entry in the elden ring seriesI guess you're right in a way
>>483525216It's better than DS2 and 3It's worse than Demon's Souls, Dark Souls 1, Bloodborne and Sekiro
I literally cannot react fast enough to gaius' shoulder check attack. I can follow him into position when he's likely to do it and be expecting it, and I still can't actually roll in time by the time it's telegraphed. Is this just my boomer reaction time fucking me? It won't kill the fight if that's the only thing I can't learn to dodge, but it's still annoying.
>>483524618it's not flashy and has a slow windup, but the poise break and damage is amazing.
>>483525320I didn't like Demon's that much
>>483525128it's got the best STR scaling and its ash of war does more damage than golem bow's through-and-through, but doesn't piercegolem bow seems to do more damage in general, at least it did at 55/55 for meit's also lighter than golem bow, if that matters to you
>>483525318I obviously meant the soulsborne games as a whole, retard.
i think i'm reaching areas that i'm not supposed to enter by this pointlots of deaths climbing and falling, but when i finally reach that place it feels good manyou and your verticality doesn't fucking stop me miyazakitorrent my beloved
>>483525339Gaius is a piece of shit, just cheese him with something and get it over with, or wait until they patch that glitchy ass charge of his
>>483525001Why can't we kill ranni?
>>483525216This entire series is dogshit and always has been. If you want smooth gameplay, superb worldbuilding, and the greatest story in gaming you should be playing God of War instead of wasting your time here.
>>483525393I know, I just didn't feel like actually taking your low-effort bait seriously
>>483525216I can't fault someone for seeing DS2 as the worst, but Elden Ring is right there with it yea. I thoroughly enjoyed the DLC but it's a one and done just like the base game for me. I just finished witch of hemwick on my BB replay right after SotE and it's insane how much better this game is. I think it's almost time to play Sekiro again too.

>>483525271I did some testing and it seems like it lets you cast it if you have half of the requirement remaining; I suppose that's to give some leeway while still preventing people from min-maxing it and casting one more time with 1 fp.
What's the best medium shield?
>>483525442No, I have to beat all the bosses normally first. I can cheese them later.
>>483525320MatthewMathosis and it's consequences have been a disaster for Souls discussion
>>483525216eh DS2 is worse.
>>483525584Banished Knight's
Only 16 tries for Radahn, honestly i thought it'd be fucking astronomically difficult but it was easy as shit, easier than Messmer, the worst part about this guy is the lingering fucking attacks after everything he does. I did use a mimic tear though, maybe that invalidates my experience even though he died halfway through, i used a keen great katana with chilled mist
No one actually enjoys souls games. You enjoy the validation you get from telling other people you play them because they're 'hardcore'.
>>483525320Besides Demon Souls I agree, Demon Souls its not that good, its probably on the same level.
>>483525451she's already dead. her soul is functionally immortal now.
>>483525584Heater modded with a nude image of Melina.
>>483524618The range is not even that short — it's long enough to be outside of most enemies' swing range, that's good enough for me. And this combination of range, damage, stance break, casting speed and FP cost is very hard to match.

>spams heavy attacks faster than the player can spam light attacks>a full combo will break most guards>a full combo will kill most players>so little time between volleys that you can't get a heal off without getting hit by at least one hit of the next comboMiyazaki is a fucking inbred piece of rat shit that has no fucking clue what the difference between "challenging" game design and "arbitrarily punishing" game design is.
>>483526815I certainly did. 200 is also a beautiful round number
>>483527578Horned Warriors have little response to me sniping them with Lightning Spears at medium range
>>483527578they were balanced around deflecting tear please understand
ayyy
>>483526815I thought the whole point of character level in the past was to increase the rate of match making, but ever since DS3 it doesn't matter anymore because characters get their levels auto scaled under the hood.
>>483527732>>483527807Even the trash version of them is super fucking annoying.>oh, you're trying to skip all the shit you've ALREADY CLEARED so you can get back to your runes and the fight you're actually trying to clear?>IT'D BE REAL SHAME IF TWO STUPID RETARD FUCKS SPAMMING HEAVY ATTACKS JUMPED YOU AND YOU DIED IN 3 HITS BECAUSE THE FIRST ONE CONNECTED AND STAGGERED YOU SO MUCH YOU COULDN'T DODGE OR BLOCK
>>483527578for some reasons, I can't sneak attack them
>>483527732not everyone is willing to cheat with magic
>>483527578They fold to wing stance R2
>>483526815I hope so. going throught the dlc i started at 120, after the first boss i had a friend drop me an alex shard and relic sword and grinded to 150 to make up using radagons soreseal and other stuff to beef up a bit. after the flower I decided since I was going to erase the file I was going to level past 150 and am now 170. 200 seems way more fun for build variety and it also has NG+ players in it and most of the bigger pvp youtubers seems to play at 200 now.It sucks its importantfor match making but Ill take the 50 extra stats to have fun especially when a lot of the weapons still do 1/3rd of your health.
>>483524420Doesn't both of Bayle's incants deal fire and lightning?
this fight is pretty fun, just need to figure out 2nd phase
>>483524052Okay until the last line, Malenia's knights would butcher K*ndred if they were in touch with their general's wishes and this would cause NPC vs NPS conflict between Hilda and Moore.
>>483528507200 has more activity with people who have never heard of "meta level" (ie most of the playerbase) so you functionally isolate yourself from wannabe compshitters. It's nice
Moore didn't give me black syrup...

>>483528462Also folds to simple arrows, apparently.It was half dead by the time it crossed the broken segment of the bridge.I continued, then ran into one of those chakram fucks for the first time. Which does the same SPAM-6-HIT-COMBOS-WITH-NO-GAPS bullshit. No chance to heal so if you fuck up you die. And it's on a stairwell so it randomly gets high ground guard-avoidance and just slaps your shit if you don't retreat upwards while it wails on you.
>>483530358Use a shield
Didn't the interviews say that the main game changes after completing the DLC? Where are the changes I was promised, I was hoping to at least see the Scadutree from TLB.
>>483514253Is that a mod?
What am i supposed to do with miquellas rune?
>>483534036Enlarge your asshole by 100% for BRC
>try out the rolling sparks>melts the tree spirit haha, oh shit. shame the rest of the moveset is poop.
