Code Vein is better
>>484501601>vaare and mohg were good guys all this time
You know how you wanted to do that bow-only playthrough some day but also wanted to not kill yourself in frustration?transfer one of these babies
St. Trina is my wife and I'm her promised consort! I love my cute sleepy wife!
>>484501778that bow needs like 40dex, what do i use until i have the stats?
finally beat the duo gargoyles for the first time since launchhas anyone ever beaten them solo? bullshit bossfight
How good is 1h great katana? I'm planning a faith build with a flame art melee weapon + offhand sacred seal, can't decide between it and a fire knight sword. From what i remember ~1 year ago this setup was kinda trash in pvp though, apart from the zwei crutch poke + catch flame true combo.
Anybody go that Miquella Oreimo picture?
>>484501731Ansbach is good. Mohg is not.And Ansbach is good because he mellowed out and got old. He was seemingly a complete edgelord in his youth.
how do I drain the underground area? I found the elevator to the storehouse but no way to drain the water.
>>484502092the lever is above those bats near the church
>>484501949Bone bow is pretty funny>>484502092There is a separate path opposite of where you went to the storehouse with a Marika statue with a skibidi fragment on it and the path has bats along it, follow it and climb the ladder
Ultimately a boring character with no implact.
>>484501731No. Varre is still a religious zealot. (But given he was born to be, not really his fault). Mohg's entire dynasty was still built on a pillar of suffering.
>>484502035Still good because it still has running and crouch pokes and natural synergy with either Flaming Strike or Flame Spear is great.
>>484502091Who would Mohg have impregnated to form a dynasty in his original plan?
What does being a God even mean in the world of ER if a random human can still kick your shit in with a sword?
>>484502239Mohg is the one getting impregnated.
>>484502208She's cute though
>>484502239Me
Reading up on those death knights really showed me how much influence the undead loving whore had. A death cult that is seeping into Leyndell's nobility and Omen ranks, multiple renowned Tarnished warriors, and now Godwyn's elite dragon knights all fighting for her order. All while working under the nose of the GO.Fia has way more hustle than any of the other legendary Tarnished.
>>484502205okay, so i give myself bone bow until i get the stats
>>484502208thats pretty much every character in the dlc
>>484500936You're mad people are having fun solving a puzzle you weren't smart enough to solve on your own. On my first run of Elden Ring I played with ashes and every tool at my disposal because I'm more interested in exploring the world than fighting bosses, I steamrolled Malenia with rivers of blood and Mimic tear, on my second playthrough which is the one I did the DLC on I decided to engage with the boss mechanics and learn them all properly So as someone who's done both I can say the seethe from people who use summons is so much worse than the "YDBTG" crowd. The "you didn't beat the game" stuff is just lighthearted shittalking people who (I had assumed) didn't actually care about the "pride" or "honor" of beating a fucking video game boss anyway and just wanted to explore the world like I did, but the amount of genuine bitterness and malice from these people is insane. When I said online that I cheesed Malenia with mimic people just made fun of me, when I say I beat Radahn with no summons or shield and that he's a fun boss people start crying and telling me to kill myself, it's pathetic.
>>484502307>random humanSuper human with God-killing weapons unable to die. Not because of no Rune of Death but because of Grace.
best dlc pvp weapons that are not backhand blades?
>>484501778do you transfer arrows too or do you get them the fair way?
>>484501957I'd say they were the hardest fight in my RL1 naked straight sword only playthrough, took me around 20 tries
rellanas twinblades, im confused. people say that having 50/50 int and faith makes the ash of war good.but what about the regular attacks?
What the fuck was his problem?
>>484502491fire knight ugsthrowing shieldlightning perfume
>>484502571Hes like the Golden Order without the optics
>>484502571That he hadn't been caught in the Total Hornsent Death genocide yet.
Ok, immersion broken. I would never succumb to this faggot incubus.
>>484502478i NEED the source for a better quality version of your picplease please please please please please please
>>484502567 They're shit, naturally. You're not getting good value out of those unless you're deep in a NG cycle when having all 4 scaling stats is a thing you can feasibly do.
good morning erg!!!
>>484502713aren't people use moonveil at least bisexual?
>>484502567>what about regular attacksanon this is L2 the game there's no such thing as regular attacks you just spam AoW
A good Hornsent is a dead HornsentA good Omen is a dead OmenA good Albinauric is a dead AlbinauricA good Demihuman is a dead DemihumanA good Misbegotten is a dead MisbegottenA good Fire Giant is a dead Fire GiantA good Troll is a dead TrollA good Bloodfiend is a dead BloodfiendThis is a human world, the rest of them are just living in it for the time being.
>>484502478>The "you didn't beat the game" stuff is just lighthearted shittalkingNo. Some of them are just fucking around but you cannot seriously believe all or even most of the bitter niggers who respond to everything with ydbtg are just ribbing. Just look at the early DLC threads where people unironically tried to discourage people from upgrading the Scadu fragments and interacting with the DLC's core systems.>engage with the boss mechanicsAs someone who doesn't cheese because 99.5% of the cheese tactics look boring to me, you can't seriously pretend that greatshields or whatever cheese somehow don't interact with the boss's mechanics. They do. That's the reason why they're good against them, because the boss's mechanics are ineffective against turtling. They're still cheese but that doesn't mean you don't interact with the boss. Saying it doesn't count if you jump attacked someone to death (I fucking hate jump attacks in general because they look stupid) is like saying it doesn't count as beating Mohg if you took the anti-nihil tear. The game specifically gives you things to trivialize certain mechanics, and you don't need to use them if you don't want to for whatever reason, but that doesn't elevate you, it just means you played the game in a way enjoyable for you.
>>484502776so basically RL 300. dangit... int/fth keeps on losing....
>>484502713He's very cute though.
>>484502831I thought zorayasbros were gone for good. Nice to see you're still alive.
>>484502713>dex/int build >not gay sure thing mate
>>484502831I don't have the webm on this phone.
>>484502567>but what about the regular attacks?They do massive damage at level 200+. Which is actually pretty populated these days so...Anyway the LGS moveset is fantastic although I unironically prefer the 1h moveset to the powerstance one
>>484502567normal attacks do more dps than the L2, L2 is good because you can chose range or aoe
>>484502543You have to skip the arrow parts otherwise it's unplayable. The bow needs too many arrows.
/erg/ do you wanna see my cat?

>>484502831Morning~
Dragon form needs precisely enough poise to tank a single throwing dagger before HA kicks in. Fuck from you unbalanced niggers
>>484503104thanks bro
>>484503005I'll complete the set I think the two-handed moveset is super soulful and practical too
>>484503072What kind of question is that?Of course we want to see the kitty
>>484503149Throwing daggers ought to just not deal poise damage. In what universe is being staggered by a spammable, no-cost ranged tool healthy?
>>484502713anon will now receive the holy buttsex
>>484503107hot
So how many attempts do you guys try before you decide its time to get the summons out? I'm up to attempt 10 on this guy and I'm starting to feel the desire to just use a spirit ash and move on already
>Finished Ymir quest shitSo his whole deal is he is into mpreg basically?
>>484503228
>>484503319One
>>484502863>>484502936Moonveil barely even qualifies as a good weapon at this point. If I wanted Moonveil but good I'd be running STR Unsheathe Nagakiba with Bloodflame. Not that I have anything to prove to you fags but I never even used Moonveil prior to the DLC.
>>484503361Cute
>>484503361>>484503479yeah move on /erg/ is a dog general
>>484503479Nice cat dude
Also do I remember wrong, or did Greyol's roar have a lingering hitbox? Seems to be one burst now and just a huge opening after if you i-frame it.
>>484502478>nah I beat the game>YOU'RE MAD [paragraph paragraph]I think I know who's mad...

>>484503356yes
>>484503319Did you play DaS3? These guys are just the Sullyvahn Beasts with some new moves. Strafe to the side, sideroll its attacks, punish, roll the back attack, punish again. You can do this basically forever
>>484503319If you're not having fun use a spirit ash.I usually wait until a second playthrough to do a summonless run. It's more fun when I'm able to prepare more for fights
>>484501957pretty easy if you don't get greedy and use a damage type that actually hurts them (strike, magic, standard)
>>484503567mental illness
>>484503558It was always like that. It's always been a really fucking bad spell. Decades of windup with no hyperarmour, easy to roll through, decades of recovery that gives up a free jumping R2/backstab/long windup WA if it's avoided.

I hate that a lot of the good stuff were locked behind this lame fight. the dane's footwork specifically.
>>484503479>>484503361cute cats give em a pat on the head and a chin rub from me
>ChainsawingYou DID beat the game
>>484504331Lmfao this exploit is still in the game? What the fuck? Jesus christ fromsoft sucks.
>>484502893At least there's the new staff. That thing might enable new true combos due to spell chaining.
>>484504331SOOOOOO proud of you xister!!! you did beat the game!!!! keep chainsawing and you'll beat your gender dysphoria next!!!!!
>>484504265/dsg/ trannoid lingo, pay it no mind
>host summons me and some other dude in Stormveil>clear just about the entire level>get invaded like four times throughout, all the invaders run into us and crumble immediatelyI can't believe people still complain about invaders. Like for every 10 invasions you might get one guy who is competent, and even then competence can only go so far when up to three other players who can't hit each other are swinging at you, inadvertently staggering your attacks so you end up getting roll-caught no matter what.
>dancer set + number 37 hair doesn't actually look like this in gamewhat the fuck...
>>484503361>>484503479Cute cats
>>484503792Yes? They recycled the animation skeleton and several animations. The fight is fundamentally the same despite some new moves.

>>484504682>lick>not cum on
I beat Radahn with the perfume bottles. I'm not proud of it, but it's a weight off my chest.
>>484504417yeah some anon gave his ahk script couple days ago lol. had to tweak it a bit but it worked.
>>484504490At most I agree when you're underleveled as a complete noob you struggle with invastions. Yeah honestly I can't remember the last time we lost to an invader, if anything I'm almost excited to get invaded.
>>484504727Gravity missile aimed at the ground is absolutely nuts, though.
>>484504708proof?
>>484504727int has been pointless since they nerfed stars of ruin, the only spell I even like now is ice tornado, kamehameha which takes a physic tear AND was also nerfed recently, and weapon summoning aka blue flame spellsfaith already had lightning and fire. my generalist mage main dropped all INT spells and just uses mlgs now, it saves 4 weight on a staff.
>>484504739As if you would deserve it.
>>484504727>INT got uhhh gravity missile i guessNigga that one spell is all you need. It's absolutely fucking ridiculous how strong that is and it has multiple options for a fucking TRUE COMBOI'd take that any fucking day of the week over a 7 second pillar of life that's in actuality a suicide button against anybody with a brain.
>>484504736You have your wife Ranni and now all of humanity has free will because of your actions
>>484504691you can kill her if you draw a bead on her from outside the no combat zone
>>484504671Afterimages with mass?!
>>484501601So I was checking Japanese twitter. People here saying the Japanese text clearly said Radahn isn't charmed are all liars lol. Most of the Japanese said that it's ambiguous and how you view Miquella depends on whether Radahn is charmed or not. They are just as clueless as us
>>484504995I wish St. Trina (my wife) had her own ending so that the whole world would know the bliss of naps.
>>484504968>Nigga that one spell is all you needIt'll be nerfed like every good INT spell was.
>>484504525i think they got lazy with this dlc...
>>484504063I do this precisely to make casualshitters cry about it an get it removed from the game.
Are there ties between the Omen and Hornsent? Just got to the part where it reveals Marika was whipped like the nasty hoe she was when she wa young.
If I don't like square off and unsheathe, what's the best way to deal good posture damage to Radahn on a dex build?
It's weird how small the map feels when you've done everything

>>484505360Repeating Thrust or Blood Tax
>>484501448How long dragons live, or how large they grow, and how healthy they are, etc, isn’t without the magic that upholds them, to a literal point—they’re too heavy, too big, to realistically fly. They need too much food, etc. What truly sustains them? Magic. Even a dragon’s scales and fire are dyed in vibrant colours, and some are known to breathe blue or even gold fire. Or a mix of such. Balerion breathed black-and-red flames, something Drogon carries over.When magic goes away. They shrivel up, to account for how they cannot fly. They barely grow larger than a cat. They don’t breathe fire because that would kill them. Everything about dragons in asoiaf is an aberrant fact; including how they’re even assumed to have been made, or bred. All dragons are chimeras, technically, and as a consequence can only be described as part-reptilian, part-abomination. The foul sorcery that produced them was horrific, or possibly of a parasitic nature, if we are to consider those *things* inside Aerea (pic related), cooking her from the inside out, actual firewyrms. Dragon eggs even stay dormant like worm eggs. Dragons are a hybrid of wyvern (fire-less ‘dinosaurs’ from the southern continent) and wyrm (human hating serpents of the deep) genes, and aren’t natural at all. Valyrians were fucking evil and twisted to the max. Targaryens descend from these people. — ‘By any name, it was an evil place. The dragonlords sent their worst criminals to the Isle of Tears to live out their lives in hard labor. In the dungeons of Gogossos, torturers devised new torments. In the flesh pits, blood sorcery of the darkest sort was practiced, as beasts were mated to slave women to bring forth twisted half-human children.‘Magic is like pseudo-radiation in asoiaf. It moves around. Alive. It’s also a sick fuck.
>>484505393post webms, greatsword of damnation is hilarious
>>484505371It feels big when you're doing stuff because there's lots of stuff to do, but it feels small when you've done all the stuff because you realize the map was made just big enough to hold all the stuff and not unbelievably vast for the fuck of it like some of the base game areas.

My attempt at getting from the haligtree prayer room bonfire to the next without my co-op phantom dying currently has a 100% failure rate after 7 different players. Only one death was due to an invader.

Can you cheat in Scoobydo fragments? I've done the DLC twice so far and each time I collected all of them. Now on my third character I really don't want to be forced to collect them.
>>484506305Man, who the fuck types shit like this? Fucking faggot. Why do you fucking freaks always leak out of your containment discords? What, did you see everyone's cocks there and get bored? Kill yourself.
>>484503319I've used rat ashes on both Replescent and Gaius because they're horse niggers (that's cheating)
>>484506379They probably just posted some art that looks good right? That can help you cope with anything, but it's still cope.
>>484505906There's really only like 5 dragon spells:Claw (plus the new "claw but bigger)MawRoar (plus the new "roar but bugged"MagmaAnd then like 12 recoloured breath spells.Rot breath is the best breath against anything you can rot. Ghostflame Breath powercrept Ice Breath as the best breath for raw damage. Magma and Roar are worthless. Claw is good for certain big enemies it can stagger and stunlock. Maw does the most damage and can stagger Tree Sentinels but is super slow.
Goodnight /erg/, I will return to post more about St. Trina (my wife) tomorrow.
Deflect makes enemies a complete joke when paired with a shield or even a large sword due to how it's just an iverpowered extra on top of safe blocking. If they actually want to incorporate deflecting, it should be something exclusive to weapons lighter than greatswords when guarding, that activates automatically but is mistimed fucks you up. It's just not a good iteration otherwise.I get that it's probably testing ground for guture games like all DLCs are, but I hope that it's not indication that we are getting another parryslop centric game. Deflection should be a secondary mechanic, possibly the gimmick of some weapons designed around it. My hope os for something that mixes and expands the great elements of Elden Ring Ashes of War, jumps and builds, with limb targeting system and expanded movesets of Bloodborne, possibly a refined iteration of both.
>>484506379>character assassination MAYBE for Radahn, but we know very little about him beyond being incredibly ambitious so marrying a god makes sense. We also know that Miquella is incest pilled, and was exposed to literal divine incest from a young age. Plus sexuality as we see it doesn’t seem to matter to the pantheon in ER.

There's no homoshit in this game. If you think there is then what that's called is projecting and you're the one who is actually gay. Which is bad. Because being gay means you're instantly a failure at life.

>>484505784— ‘Ser Lucamore said that the princess's fever was so hot that he could feel it through his armor. She had blood in her eyes and her body had "something inside her, something moving", the knight said, until the king forbade him from speaking of the princess. Benifer left no account of Aerea's death, but according to an account in Barth's private papers, Aerea's fever was one unlike anything he had seen before.’— ‘The girl was burning. Her skin was flushed and red and when I laid my hand upon her brow to learn how hot she was, it was as if I had thrust it into a pot of boiling oil. There was scarce an ounce of flesh upon her bones, so gaunt and starved did she appear, but we could observe certain…swellings inside her, as her skin bulged out and then sunk down again, as if…no, not as if, for this was the truth of it…there were things inside her, living things, moving and twisting, mayhaps searching for a way out, and giving her such pain that even the milk of the poppy gave her no surcease.’— ‘Barth reported that "swellings" moved underneath the princess's skin, possibly searching for a way to escape and causing a great pain. He wrote "I pray that I shall soon forget some of the things she whispered", and that she often begged for death. It seemed to Barth as if Aerea was cooking from within. Her flesh grew darker until it resembled pork cracklings; smoke came from her mouth, nose, and her nether regions. Aerea's eyes cooked within her skull until they burst. When the princess was lowered into the tub of ice, "slimy, unspeakable things" making horrible sounds emerged from under her skin—one as long as his arm—but the "creatures of heat and fire" died from the cold of the ice.’— ‘The things…Mother have mercy, I do not know how to speak of them…they were…worms with faces…snakes with hands…twisting, slimy, unspeakable things that seemed to writhe and pulse and squirm as they came bursting from her flesh.’

>>484506991You need to seriously kill yourself
>>484507213I see now why Miyazaki clicked with the Fat Man
>meet her>exhaust her dialogue >she tells me to fuck off>rest at grace>try to talk to her>still told to fuck off What a bitch. Why do people simp for her?
The egg is Miquella's actual physical form, he was actually more cursed than his sister but blessed with mind control. He wanted to cast off his body like Ranni the entire time.
>>484507213I see my man GRRM is a Heaven's Feel enjoyer

>Verification not required
why the fuck does Gaius charge deal too much health?
>>484507192kek
>>484507361I love how catlike she is
>>484507361Shouldn't the MC of this game be considered the most important person to ever live and garner crazy respect and a lot of cock sucking? We accomplish more than anyone ever has in this reality.
>>484507192>Malenia, cured of rot>First phase is pretty similar to the in-game one, probably less fancy because she's not blind now and doesn't do that water style fighting>second phase >>484507186>this happensWould have been cancer, yes, but kino
>>484507131cause the limits you set for yourself are good enough, and its pretty condescending when you actually try and still get "you didn't beat the game" like when I beat malenia at level 60 with not very upgraded weapons I didn't even get a well done. its always just insults and that has become the norm so essentially insulting them more won't have any effect beyond just pissing them off.
>>484507213Why is magic so fucked in GoT? Wasn’t there a guy who chopped off a boy’s junk to speak to some blue flame demon? The eunuch guy I mean.
>>484507512What is Dragoncrest TalismanWhat is Boiled Prawn
>>484507562At that point we haven’t accomplished shit
>>484506234You can probably collect all missables (including the NPC questlines) and get to the end of the game in well under 12 hours. The only problem is grinding the duelist weapons and outfit. Everything else can be collected at any point.
>>484507512literally just block it
>>484507146nope, only leveld it after combining them
>>484507512i mean im pretty sure you'd end up straight to izalith if an armored boar with titanium tusks rammed you at full speed
>>484507512Normally an attack is a single hitbox that can only hit the same target once and then deactivates.Gaius' charge is actually several different overlapping hitboxes that persist for a second and then are replaced with new ones constantly, so it can hit you multiple times in each instance of damage, and hit you repeatedly for as long as you're touching him.Similar to the bug that let bleed dogs deal millions of damage a second, except here it was done intentionally.
>>484507626It is a cruel, bloodthirsty, pedophilic force of “nature” It is no coincidence, the *children* of the forest …It can be compared to tossing to a beast a piece of meat
>>484507708i summoned them for the ganksquad and they stunlocked and bled freyja to death by themselves
>>484507638I already have the dragoncrest talisman.
>>484501601So how much of mohgs insanity was due to micks mind control? Was he always so quick to murder everyone while living in a blood filled shithole or was that the homolust?
last tangentially related question I swear, is salt and sanctuary a good "dark souls" game?I am a nerd for ds1 so, I should enjoy it yeah?gotta spend that rebate on something and thats all that stands out to me. (also dreamfall cause I never played it back when, but its the sequel not the first one so pass)
So Miquella x Malenia bros all want to fuck their sisters...
>>484507709if i were to get crushed into a wall by a raging 7 feet high boar with as you mentioned plated tusks and 1 ton of armour then eh i had it coming if i get oneshot.
>>484507213lol’d at the relevant image
>>484507936Isn't this whole game incest?
>>484507835Dragoncrest talisman + ritual shield talisman + blue-feathered branchsword + opaline hardtear + crimson bubbletear + black flame's protection + sacred ground + endure + fingerprint + barricade + shield talisman
>>484507920i heard that the first one was good but the sequel is complete fucking ass
>>484507434I want to know anon
>>484507968>>484506991
>>484507936did people just pretend to watch game of thrones or what? incest is wincest. Jamie Lannister won. the one that dies in the desert lands was so undeserved that I actually laughed when cersei did the same to her eventually and I am not a sadistic person usually
>>484507892His worship of the Formless Mother was all him.The plan to make manlove to his boywife until they got asspregnant was all Miq.It's also likely that the Miquella was behind the Bloody Fingers as well, turning to Tarnished to acquire sacrifices after Ansbach became suspicious, and thus he couldn't rely on the Pureblood Knights anymore.
>>484507936People who are against incest just have ugly siblings
There will be an Elden Ring 2 and you will deal with that fact.
>>484507721well that explain the damage.
>>484508074No I get it, that anon is mentally ill, it's just this whole game in regards to relationships is incest. Everyone in ER is either fucking their brother or sister.
I still don't know how some people are still taking Elden Ring's lore seriously.I mean, I guess Dark Souls, Bloodborne and Sekiro make sense (but also no need to fellate them). But Elden Ring is a clusterfuck because G.R.R.M. is a hack.Why can't anyone see that?
>>484508041thats a shame, I just learned there even was a sequel. I guess I have no reason not to grab it>>484508167I look forward to it and the tv show and hbo bloodborne, which has about as much proof of existence as the dark souls shows at this point but I refuse to let hbo forget they announced it was in production like the dark souls shows (they tried twice to my knowledge)
>>484508158If anything, maybe fucking his boywife kept him too busy to be extra murdery
Ranni handjob
>>484507709you wasted time summoning your mimic instead of dodging/strafing. Absolute state of summoncucks
>>484508276The only part of this game GRRM wrote was the stupid royalty dynamics, who is fucking who, who wants to kill who for the throne, etc. Miyazaki is literally everything else.
>>484508276George wrote like 2 pages about the basic backstory of Elden Ring, this is squarely on Miyazaki.
Does getting the Black Wolf Mask screw anything up? I havent played in years but remember Blaidd not being a fan of it.
>>484508365>4 armsgo on...
>>484508276Why are you being stupid? This isn’t his fault. He wrote something for Miyazaki to INTERPRET. They met with him ONCE.Do you REALLY think Rellana would be some oc donut steel type character in his eyes? Really? Miyazaki even said that he would be shocked.It’s not George, it’s the production team.For all you know George never even had the idea to make Malenia so badass.
I saw someone with a gigantic boar helmet, how do you get it?
>Elden Ring is just an elaborate endorsement of big dick analThat's wild yo.
>>484508420>>484508439>>484508461Oh, my fault then. Guess Miyazaki let his fame go over his head or became senile then?
>>484508276The story makes more sense now, just people are trying to reinforce the headcanon that the community already came to.
>>484508365>>484508451
>>484507152I'm trying to keep it at like 3-4 incantations. Mostly melee with some spells for niche situations.
So when will we get a mod that adds a boss rush mode? I want to refight some of these bosses.
>>484508418solo'd that guy personally. someone just shared that webm yesterday
>got hit by jump attack several times with big hammer>still no staggerhow many poise does Gaius have?
This is the most powerful character in the lore. You cannot kill him. He is above and beyond the player. He needs no HP bar.Not even Radahn+Miquella would prevail, and you know it’s true for a fact.
>>484508575brainrot
>>484508232rykard and ranni both married well outside the familyi suppose there's that theory about ranni being betrothed to godwyn, but she already made sure that wasn't happening
>>484508541>The story makes more sense nowMiquella is now more confusing of a character than before.
>>484508650all the dlc bosses have 120 posture except romina who has 80. use some throwing knives or something to keep his posture from regenerating
>>484506515And arguments too, she sent me a fanfic she wrote for an anon here
>>484507709>Mage fag>Wastes time summoning his meat shield mimic>Forgets he can use torrentThe absolute state of shitters.
I know the jar cannon is objectively a stronger weapon, but I like the way the hand ballista looks, you know?
Could you use greases as lube? If you apply shield grease on your dick can you stop worrying about DST? Would magic grease make I fuck like a M A G I C I A N? What about holy grease, the divine cock?
>>484508650I managed to stagger him a lot with DMGS but I used the poise breaking Tear and it had to be fully charged R2s
>>484508662Could a meteor Radahn smash it? Hmm.
>>484508062Personality wise we’re perfect for each other, idk I’ve been obsessed with her for ages honestly, basically since I discovered I liked girls. The happiest I’ve ever been was when we were living together for a little bit. We also just fit the mold of Miquella/Malenia pretty well.
>>484508650All the bosses have the same posture but their "turn" is so long that it triggers their regen, which gives a lot of them effectively infinite posture unless you cheese them.
>>484508905>since I discovered I liked girlsAre you also a woman?
i keep trying to make a new character but i just can't, this game is way too big it would take me at least a 100 hours to finish it againand if i use my already existing character for newgame+ then i can't do colloseums anymore
Why is Senessax beefier than Bayle

If Messmer breaks his eye to unleash his snake curse, does a curse release when Miquella abandons his eye?
>>484508716Radagon and Markia make more sense with the knowledge that gods can split themselves into different physical beings.Also seems to make them more obsessed without the conflicting ideas and emotions.What is left of Miquella seems to mostly just care about making everyone love and worship him after casting off Trina and his cursed physical body.
>>484508276im not, I have literally referred to the dlc lore as "similar to fallout 4s which isn't good" people are still so dumbfounded by radahn2 that even loretubers are assuming everything we learned in the base game was because characters were just straight up lying to us or something (this was one theory I had about melina at one point anyway but even then, wheres the truth then?)i've heard so many "actually that was retconned" including frenzied flame that i'm not sure I care anymore, a bit like fallout 4...the only reason I do is because I haven't personally confirmed it myself in game. for now.
>>484509053Nope, he is above you, just like Azur and Lusat. Even “unkillable” npcs like Miriel are killable. The big mighty jar man and the two crystal wizards are beyond you.That’s just how it is.
>>484507131 Anyone would be annoyed if you stomped on their accomplishment. At some point community went from "git gud" to "you need to restrict yourself" and it's never recovered since. You can climb a wall just fine but some people need the rope, just how it is.

>>484508965No, I could’ve worded that better. I mean like when I first started getting romantic/sexual feelings. I did get mistaken for a girl 9/10 times when I was a kid though, but that doesn’t happen anymore. I’m still pretty feminine though desu. Or I guess androgynous. I kind of want to do a Miquella cosplay. >>484509112Don’t be rude I love your art. >>484509128Most people fucking suck ass at this game

>>484509175do we ever see miquella's eyes? i remember the st.trina depiction on the torch or whatever has them covered.he might have fucked up eyes that give him away unless you're charmed or a seal.
>>484506601This is why I never invade without a ranged option. Shitters will never engage into anything even remotely disadvantageous unless you piss them off really badly. Golem Arrow Greatbows excelled at this.
>decide to try Mimic out>it dies easier than some summonsI don't get it.
I still can't believe Morgott is such a chad, why did he get done so dirty gameplay wise
>>484509802You need to upgrade it.
Is Fire Scorpion Charm worth it? Or is it just as bad as Soreseal?
>>484509848already at 10+The greatshield skeletons seem more reliable than this
>>484509802Needs to be fully upgraded. Need good items on your bar, and even then you also need to have a good loadout of either weapon or spells.Once your build is finished, regardless of what it is, it's far and away the best summon and it's not even close.
So this was his actual form all along and he was using his mind control powers and made a plan to cast off his body?
Is commander gaius supposed to be dogshit on purpose because this fight is dogshit
>>484506840Miquella mindraping you into loving him doesn't make you a homosexual. Sure, he is a faggot but it's limited to him.
>>484509568Caelid is cool, but too forgiving. Dragonbarrow is meh because it doesn't really have anything in it and I don't like the constant raining.
doing a fist only run and some enemies i cant even fucking reach with fist weapons. Like godrick for some fucking reason wont get hit by some swings even when i am right up in his grafted cock punching away at it. Even the smallest short sword or dagger can reach enemies but fists man are so fucking short reaching. this shit kind of blows but im going to persevere through this .
>>484509280The mentality comes from the fact that the essence of these games is experiencing the interplay with a boss through its moveset and mechanics, and fromsoft's easymode tools to help reviewers give their games good ratings are all built on the idea of NOT engaging with that interplay to allow someone who is disinterested, distracted, disenfranchised and lazy to blow through the game in 2 weeks and write about how it's a masterpiece.In previous games this was well understood. You can play sorcery in Dark Souls 1 if you want but you're skipping the essence of the game and only depriving yourself of the experience--and so magic wasn't popular except for people who've already experienced every other facet and are making a game of breaking the game. And in Dark Souls 2 it was well understood that you literally could not lose while holding a greatshield--and players intuitively understood they could bust out the greatshield to trivialize a boss they weren't having fun fighting but that they should probably try most things without it first.It's only with elden ring that the game reached this audience of disaffected binge-gamers that are only interested in blowing through a game using the path of least resistance, experiencing as little of it as possible, learning as little about it as possible and getting to the end like seeing the credit roll is in and of itself the accomplishment. "You didn't beat the game" doesn't mean "you failed to accomplish the goal" but that you literally, L I T E R A L L Y failed fundamentally to experience a fucking videogame, because you were in too much of a hurry to get to the next one on your list and didn't take your time to engage with its gameplay. Petulant children making tier lists where anything but the pickaxe isn't 'beating the game' are the ones blew through it, and lash out at the perceived slight from people telling them all the fucking videogame they missed that they shit the bed in screeching irony.
Anyone else find the yellow-green lighting in Scadu Altus extremely ugly?
How the fuck are people like, level 150 by endgame?I'm at after Godfrey, beat Haligtree (except Malenia) and beat Mohg and I'm like level 75.I'm generally not dying much, so it's not like my runes are wasted.
>>484509969Promised vow means it was mutual at some point before all the shedding of identity and Radahn getting hit with the rot. Radahn just wanted to fight and die in battle before getting married and Miquella sent out Malenia to be his champion to get it done.
>>484509418The final boss weapons.
>>484506693Why do foids choose to intentionally draw the ugliest things ever? You never see ugly shit drawn by men. Unless they are trannies. What makes women and trannies so unappreciative of beauty?
>>484510105nailed it
Ranni is a game and I’m a player
>>484510218maybe if you do many dungeons and generally kill everything instead of riding pasti dont know
>>484510162I hate yellow in general and think the majority of Elden Ring has intentionally ugly lighting because they pushed the GRACE OF GAULD thing way too far. Limgrave and Altus are absolute eyesores.
>>484510218If you go around trying to find everything on the map and full clear it you can end up over 150 by the end of the base game pretty easily.
I haven't played since December of last year so i'm picking up where I left offbased off what I vaguely remember, I was doing volcano manor stuffjust a quick question, can I fight Rykard now after finishing Rya's quest or should I still do the 3rd assassination in the hilltop snowy area? (i havent figured out a way to get there yet)I'm at altus Plateu but im not sure if i can just go up the big stairs or i'm missing somethingi'm a Faith/Strength player if that means anything
>>484510279>What makes women and trannies so unappreciative of beauty?bitterness that theyll never look like that
Most streamers I watch going through the dlc are beating the remembrance bosses in just a few attempts and they aren't even summoning. They always took me like an hour each, at least. Multiple hours for Rellana.
>>484510229>according to the mindrapist
>>484510218I think the LOWEST i've been by morgott is 90 no wait 70 when I literally skipped everything else on my dragon guy that got respec'd cause I don't like dragon breaths just draining the fuck out of your fp bar taking 5 minute to cast and no hyperarmor, except claw and maw they're all shit, and greyolls, but my main uses that already anyway.
>>484510319god i wish ranni was real and told me to go fuck myself
>>484510441There has to be a point where we take what's said at face value otherwise there is no lore and everyone is an unreliable narrator.
>>484510218You have to either be dying more than you think, spending them on other stuff, or bypassing a lot of dungeons.I made a character recently and just leveled up at the end of dungeons/after bosses and ended up at 129 right after the Fire Giant. Still have Farum Azula and the Ashen Capital to go.
>>484510218I'm not sure where the fuck your runes went buddy I was 120 before I set foot in Leyndell.
>>484509661>There is no secret weapon or piece of armor that's going to magically make all of this easyAlways funny to hear this, specially after L2 Ring
>>484510528>no you don't get it you HAVE TO believe the mindrapist becuase...YOU JUST HAVE TO>It doesn't matter that we've already been fed false narratives in the game>What the mindrapist says is 100% the honest truth even though his musclepuppet doesn't even say a single word
>>484510528Most of the DLC was about Miquella being a liar that used his powers to try to get everyone to love him and kill anyone that resisted.
>>484510393assassinations then after juno (AND patches one for magma whip and bhernals one which is a 2v2) talk to tanith AFTER Ryas dialogue has moved as far as it can and Don't you dare!then equip the spear and jump tali and spam jump r2 (optional: with mimic out) for the free win, gold scarab + gold foot for 200k+ runesbuild is irrelevant its a gimmick boss unless you DONT use the spear then its the hardest boss in the entire game.
Showing off my Rurouni Tarnished-kun because I'm proud of the mods I done did for him.
>>484510105This all just boils down to the childish notion that if someone's not playing the game the way YOU want them to, they're not playing it right.
>>484510746welcome to the rice fields motherfucker
>>484510678dark bead existed back then, the point is valid enough. if you use super overpowered shit you are only cheating yourself.
>>484510415I hate beating bosses too quickly, because often it means you barely got much gameplay out of the best parts of the game. I died a bunch of times to Metyr's giant laser move in the last phase and then on my successful attempt I killed her before she could use it. I never mastered that move, never overcame it and I don't feel good about that. It's like beating Malenia because her AI bugged and never used waterfowl.
>>484505463he needs some facial hair or some stubble, then he would look even more like..
>>484510678Yeah dude ER is so much less balanced than ds1! You’re so right!
>>484510679The game calls him Promised Consort Radahn, not Miquella
>>484510680So he's even lying when he talks to himself? Even item descriptions lie? There has to be truth somewhere in what he says. You can't just dismiss all of it.
>>484510869Yeah, everything he tries to project into the minds of others is a lie, he even lied about the true form of his physical body.
>>484510746pls tell armor used, i love your style
>>484510843anyone got that clip of at least 4 people front backstabbing each other for no damage? fun times.

>>484509001she's not
>>484510848No, it doesn't. It just calls him "Consort of Miquella." Miquella is the only one who says "promised consort."Here are the facts we know:1) Miquella is a lying, manipulative mindrapist.2) Radahn behaves like a machine. Like a puppet, if you will.What's the reasonable conclusion here? That they were madly in love? Fuck off.
>>484509717they look normal
>>484511074You see his actual deformed physical body he casted off.He lies about everything.

>>484511062oh man you got some progress to do, see I usually visit volcano when reaching altus first time cause Rya is a sweetheart and I never ignore her, get millicent to carry on her merry way (do this if you haven't, erd hill, detour to shaded for something important, but do not go to the boss, patches has an event here later too. and then windmill village) and after getting up to the red letter (Juno) you sort of forget volcano exists for a bit except the miniboss godskin noble and go back after the Juno invasionyou need to clear leyndell before you are able to reach mountains.
>>484511179People assumed he was a child physically, it turns out he is just obsessed with making everyone love him and do what he says like a spoiled child.
>>484510218you can only be level 75 if you do LITERALLY nothing besides fight main story bosses
why do so many people in souls games care how others play, its just a singleplayerplease help me understand
>>484511113Phase 1 is called Promised Consort Radahn. Phase 2 is Radahn, Consort of Miquella.
>>484511260I'm allowed to think their duo boss design looks pretty great though. Especially their remembrance. I'm sad they aren't actually really fighting as one because if they were this would be even better.
>>484509661If the bosses aren't annoying, sure. Like for god sake, stop creating bosses that mess with the camera pov while they are flying around in the sky.Doing an honest run is such a slog in this DLC for some bosses unlike the base game bosses.
>>484511435Even from the main story bosses you hit like 100
>>484510974Dryleaf Robe (with a few texture and model modifications), Dryleaf armwraps, Land of Reeds greaves (with texture modifications), and Iron Kasa (replaced with Straw Hat model I found on Nexus).
>>484511450a lot of people who summon will reply to posts saying "wow malenia was really hard" with "huh?? i beat her second try with mimic lmao"
>DS1 DLC was great>Old Hunters was some of the best video game content I ever played>Every DS2 DLC was amazing (Sunken King was the weakest FROM DLC I played though)>Then THIS comes outMaybe I just had high expectations because FROM DLC tends to be their best stuff... Like, I didn't play anything from DS3.So maybe it's a trendIDK.But I've never been more fucking disappointed with a FROM DLC than this. It's just fucked... Despite having a few really good fights, the main questline just feels like shit.
>>484511397alright, yeah i thought i could get volcano manor out of the way before hitting the capitalman that sucks, i really wanted the greatsword from rykard tho
>>484511450>LOOOL BRO I BEAT THIS SUPER HARD GAME IT'S CALLED ELDEN RING LOL>It seems like you just cheesed it and the PvE didn't even move>NOOOOOOOOOO YOU CAN'T SAY THAT YOU'RE INSULTING MY ACCOMPLISHMENT
LEGENDARY LOOT! I sure hope it's not another Glovewort or something haha ;^))
>>484511260nta yeah im sure the people freaking out about this on twitter are well adjusted people
>>484510218I just finished rushing a second character for the DLC, I've only done a couple side dungeons for some deathroot and cookbooks and ignored every early-midgame boss that drops less than 50k runes. I haven't killed Maliketh or Malenia or Mohg and I'm at RL145, my character file is only 15 hours.
>>484511712ge golly i wonder what the loot on top of a tomb ship could be
>>484510771No, that's how you WANT to interpret it because you're incapable of self-reflection.I'll feed you a food analogy since that will be easier for a child's mind to digest:A renowned, acclaimed chef just cooked you foie gras, and since he knows there are children at the table he also made up a simple plate of fries as a side. You brushed the foie gras aside, at the fries and now you're telling the adults at the table that dinner was "mid" and you think the chef is overhyped.Nobody is going to sit down and walk you through why your opinion is silly and nobody is taking it seriously. We'll just tell you "you didn't eat the foie gras." Now imagine this fry-loving child is instead a grown ass man with a platform and followers, and uses his platform to proudly declare his stupid opinion and influence his followers, many of whom have not tried the food themselves and would base their decisions on what they see spoken about it, and cry and put and stamp his feet when asked "did you even eat the foie gras?"It's not wrong to enjoy the side of fries, or be the kind of person who just doesn't like foie gras and only showed up to the meal because there were other options--it's wrong to pretend that you're a fucking food critic when all you eat are fries. So many (mostly young) people come into this game thinking fries are the main dish because their only source of information are the manchildren with a platform that turned up their nose at a real meal but still desperately want internet clout.
>>484511635Ashes of Ariandel was dogshit and the Ringed City was decent, the trend that "From releases their best stuff as DLC" died with Bloodborne
>>484511642you can but you'll miss takers cameo iirc. which you don't want to miss really in the grand scheme of things.use a flame art flam until you can use the actual str faith sword with heal fire and passive vamperic on kill healing
>>484502907>>484502974>>484503141
>food analogyStopped reading.
>>484511631They're right. Imagine any other game where a major mechanic like that is introduced to you right at the beginning of the game and a whole faction of the community loudly declares they won't use it for whatever reason. Don't complain about difficulty if you're purposefully gimping yourself.
>>484511782Chief made better foods with his old dishes.
Got a question about NG+Is it significantly harder than the base game (if it is harder to begin with)?I finished the game at lvl 140-ish and was wondering if I was supposed to farm and level up again to finish it a second or third time on the same save?
>Got Malenia on 3rd try after DLC (only killed her once before)I think I've been hardened
Here is my definitive list of "You didn't beat the game" mechanics:>Greatshield>Barricade AoW>Coop>Spirits>That one tear that gives you infinite FP for a bitThat's it imo
>>484511474Fair enough it does. Regardless, that alone still doesn't override the few facts we DO actually know. And let's not pretend like the English text hasn't made significant fuck ups before when Ranni's ending sounds way different in English than in the original Japanese text.I'd rather focus on the things we know rather than what terms the English uses.
>>484511073It's somehow even more nonsense than that because Miquella was at Caelid making the timeframe from when he got Mohgnapped incomprehensible
>>484511635>main questlineIts the same its always been, you murderhobo you way from zone to zone while NPCs clue you in on what's happened before they inevitably bite it.
>>484510105What is the intended interplay though? When you have to restrict the vast majority of playstyles in the game I think that maybe things have gone too far.
>>484511782Wow what a retarded analogy. No big surprise that something so delusional came from the mind of someone so obsessed with other people playing a game the "wrong" way.
>>484511712You WILL get excited for the sneedworts. You WILL level up the new spirit ashes.

>>484511961every ng+ scales hp and damage a little bit, the first adds quite a bit of flat defenses. starting at ng+3 enemies get more poise up to 40% at ng+7 which is where scaling stops

are there super stronk weapon arts for greatsword other than giant hunt and the guts somersault one?
>>484512567You can mix it up, like seriously, imagine playing like the average moonveiler through the entire game, literally fucking braindead
>>484512498it's ok to admit you were wrong this is an anonymous board
>>484512581No, the needle was there because of Malenia
>>484511823If you mean after then yeah. I generally didn't like DS3.TOH and Bloodborne in general was FROM at their best in terms of the Souls formula>>484512135I guess.. The setting and twists kinda matter to me.Like, I really don't like Radahn being the final boss. I felt he got a pretty good final battle with the Festival. I also hated him gameplay and presentation but that's a seperate matter.>>484512282Ivory and Iron King DLC was cool as hell, but I'm a "dude in armor" design enjoyer.
>>484512473Blocking the last hit of a combo for guard counters is fine, guarding the entire combo is too easy.
I'm starting to be able to dodge the bullshit anime attacks.
>every NPC except for Florissax if you drug her diesI mean come the fuck on base ER at least had Ranni, Rya, and Nepheli/Kenneth who are alive at the end.
>>484512581he was on the battlefield of aeonia and "healed" freyja there, i say "healed" because she still has the scar but doesn't seem to mind it anymore
>>484512184A good rule of thumb is that if you see every attack a boss does and successfully defend against them all at least once by reacting to the telegraph and responding accordingly before beating a boss you probably experienced everything it has to offer.I think this is a good rule of thumb because it allows for virtually any playstyle as long as you're not just stunlocking/dunking the boss instantly, but still makes it clear why, for example, parrying a boss to death or hiding behind a fingerprint shield will frequently rob you of the experience while using some actual tools to help make the fight easier doesn't necessarily ruin it.

I've decided. I'm going to save my love Melina from her ridiculous path of self-destruction.I will use the Frenzied Flame to set fire to the Erdtree. I will free myself from its control using Miquella's Needle. It doesn't matter if she hates me for doing so. That's love. Reciprocation is optional.

>>484512498I'm not really invested it in. I think it's funny when I see balding manchildren and their underaged worshippers in the wider ecosystem cope furiously about being afraid to really engage with a hobby they invest so much time and money into. But it's mind blowing to see the same shit parroted here where folks ought to actually know better. It screams of insecurity, which is why the picky eater analogy works so well, I think.

Anyone already made a timeline of events with Shadow of the Erdtree stuff? Was Messmer and Melina born before Marika made the Erdtree? because, knowing that Radagon is his father? during Carian alliance Godfrey was still her consort
>>484513561no>>484513572no

>>484513561yesatmosphere, you can look at stuff in different angles, leave messages, meditation practice
Radahn was one of the few people that could resist Miquella and see him for what he was due to his powers allowing him to control the stars and cycles/fate.That's why Miquella became so obsessed with him and his refusal to the point of making plans that involved killing his own siblings and casting off any love he had into Trina.
>>484513443hornsent grandam is sleeping forever wdym
>>484513218Obviously you expect sex and cummies for it though.
>>484513654>Hunter DongCheng70 summoned
>>484512740There's more people alive in the base game than that. Tanith and Patches stay alive if you don't kill them for their outfits. Jar-Bairn goes on a quest or something. Gostoc's hanging out with the Stormveil people. Jerren is presumably alive if you sided with him to kill Sellen.
>>484513746Radahn was a lazy addition that takes away from the story they were trying to write for Miquella through the base game and most of the DLC
this game very good
>>484513887tanith is meant to be killed for the crucible knight fight imo. rya can survive at least.
>>484513850>mfw when i pull out Swift Slash
>>484513618He was "LIKE an older brother" to Radahn, so we know he was older than him AND Radagon wasn't his father so he was probably Godfrey's son. Or maybe Marika shoved a snek up her cunt and he was the result because it would be noted if he was of the Golden Lineage™.

Gravity Missile is so versatile and mechanically fun no fucking way they designed it like this, it's antithetical to the dogshit ass backwards spell design of this series. They are probably going to remove the explosion when you hit the walls or ground.
Someone suggested a bow build so I transferred over the ansbach bow, can't use it yet since I'm level 15 at the moment, but how is this for a dex build? I've never done a dex build, usually I go strength because it's braindead and I can settle for 55-66 strength.I might lower my strength if I end up not wanting to use something like the Zweihander 1 handed.The 15 faith is for Fire Grant me Strength, should I bother with this or move these into something else?Any tips would be really appreciated, never done dex before.

How are there still people with 1300 HP at RL150?
>>484513618They were born during the Age of the Erdtree. Messmer's army includes Erdtree nobles and Melina straight up says she was born at the foot of the Erdtree.We don't know the father for sure. Could be Godfrey still, they have M names like the Omen twins. Could have just popped them out by herself like Malenia pops out buds. We know Rennala had to have been mentally together to gift Rellana with her helmet before she went off with Messmer so Radagon had to have been with her.

Sellen needs to learn a sorcery to give everybody everywhere footjobs at the same time
>>484514612glintstone nails are good on NG, grav missile and microcosm are good for aoeing in different scenarios, i missed triple glintblade so no idea if it's any good
>>484514527cant even tell his moves all that much without fucking up my camera somehow lol
>>484513945I hate that we don't see miquella with wings, it would be so cutealso fits the cleanrot knights and malenia having wings
>>484513572I physick before crossing the fog.For the first dozen attempts or so I play really greedy and try all sorts of stuff, then once I feel like I've got an action on mind to respond to each boss opening I just zone out and enjoy the fight.I think the only boss I didn't do this with was Radah. He wasn't worth the time.You come to some really satisfying solutions this way. Against Putrescent Knight I was able to stunlock him 100 to 0 on my successful run after about an hour of learning him inside and out. Against Dancing Lion I got the fight scripted so perfectly that I was counting the hits to each stagger and using it to interrupt attacks I struggled with.
>>484502543The arrows are acquired the same way hostcels like you that didn't beat the game got their stuff
now I see how BS gaius is
>>484514612What, you dont like your glintblade trio? Some are pretty good though. Both gravity spells are good, microcosm is great, vortex of putrescence is great for aoe mob killing, and impenetrable thorns is the second most broken thing in the game atm behind lighting perfume
>>484514756which is the #1 complaint for this boss, enjoy being flashbanged while you're trying to learn the boss
>>484513746>Radahn was one of the few people that could resist MiquellaYou just made this shit up

>>484515212Bro what if, hey what if titanite shards and flowers? Hell yeah
>>484515259i think they're cool
>>484513618The timeline is really hard to piece together>shadow runes imply the land was sealed long before the crusade, and they knew it was a one-way trip>molted snakeskin and O, Mother gesture in Bonny Village implies Messmer was born in the land of shadow>explicit text states Marika sent Messmer TO the land of Shadow to lead the crusade, meaning he lived outside of it in the Lands Between until then>the total lack of traces of Hornsent culture or connections to shadowlands stuff in general in the base game implies that the sealing happened very early in the Golden Order>but Messmer's red hair implies he's related either to Radagon, the Fire Giants, or both>but Godfrey is the first elden lord and Radagon only married Marika (relatively) recently--within Rennala's lifetime
>>484515046OH NO GRANDMA
>>484507626To subvert your expectations
>>484515259I thought the dracoliches were pretty visually striking and the belly breath was a nice touch
>>484514354Who promised Radahn to Miquella?
>>484515160Forgot Messmer's fire
>>484515367Marika reproduced asexually because she's a snake. That's how she had kids with herself as radagon.
>>484514354Specifically there are several discrepancies in people trying to peddle the that theory starting with the translation. For example in the final dialogue, Miquella said>ですから、私たちが約束を守れたらThe translation has it as>If we honor our part of the oathHowever, the actual translation is>If we keep "our" promiseAnd it's deliberate vague because Miquella actually prefers to himself as "We" or "Our" often. So it's deliberate vague whether he is saying they (Radahn and Miquella will keep their promises) or he(Miquella) will keep his one sided promise. And then there is that dialogue with Freya that says Miquella promises to (onesided) Radahn rather than with (mutual).

messmer deserved better
>>48451574680 is pretty easy to reach at 150
>>484515475The translation supposedly means that Miquella makes a onesided promise and it is ambiguous whether Radahn promised him back (just like the final cutscene where it's cut before Radahn answers). So the intention is supposed to be that it's "ambiguous". People using the text to peddle any headcanon are bullshitting because the intention is deliberately vague

>>484516110your cold backhand blades?
>>484515585>They had NO creativityDefinitely wont argue with you there.

Why are people so against status effects
>>484514949He had to make a plan to kill him and one of his other brothers because he refused and could fight off Malenia.
>>484515367Messmer was also an older brother to Radagon, so I think he left around the time of the star scourge conflict and wasn't born in the Lands of Shadow.He discovered Bonney village and the Potentates which is why the gesture is there and seeing what they did to his mother's people inspired him to be even more cruel in his crusade.Marika is seen taking something out of a snake skin in the trailers and uses it to make the Erdtree, so she probably killed and took some of her power from that snake and that would later cause Messmer to be cursed and have that snakes power like how her other children excerpt were cursed.The snake skin could either be from that snake god, or it could be from Messmer when he started embracing his snake powers.
>>484502571GET IN THE FURNACE GOLEM HORNSENT FILTH
>>484505463
>>484516140clear A tier spirit, he does large amounts of damage, he has bleed, but by far the most nice thing about him is his constant teleporting directly to enemies, he never just stands in the back and walks like many other spirits. his downside is he doesn't have a ton of poise and he is wearing rags so his defenses are ass
>>484516192they are yet another layer of easymodei am never bothered by others using them though, but i would be disappointed in myself if i cave in to something like bleed in place of patience
>>484515746You SHOULD be able to afford 60vig and 80 dex at 150. I don't know what else you're putting points into that makes this difficult. You can hit these breakpoints at 120, so you have 30 levels to spare on luxury stats.
>>484514354>>484515515If you know proper English from having graduated from high school some time in the 2000s and earlier, and not whatever speak whatever bastardized tittok zoomer talk that passes for English these days, you can easily recognize that the final cutscenes is an entire one sided request or plea by Miquella. Radahn is not there, there is no answer from Radahn, nothing that suggests any sort of concrete agreement being reached.I hope this DLC did a good job gatekeeping IQlets and Skillets from the next FromSoft game
>>484516167With frozen armament?
>>484516321optimized non status damage builds are about as good as status effect ones, this is nonsense. exception being chicken leg which is clearly bugged.
>>484505827why is miquella such a bully
>>484516284So basically he is a glass canon, as long as he doesn't get hit he will turn everything to shreds?
>>484516257>embracing his snake powers.He had a seal on his eye. The snakeskin comes from before the seal was put in place, ie childhood. And the fact that the skin and O, Mother gesture are next to each other makes it very obvious whose snakeskin it is. There are dozens of Marika statues but the gesture is in that one specifically.
Just imagine. The tibia mariner greathorn, an INT FTH greathammer with exceptional reach, and the L2 doot spawns one of those giant laser skeletons to fire off one beam.
>>484516192>Why are people against effects that shave a good percentage of the boss's health without any extra effortI wonder
>>484516418with blind spot obviously
>>484505463Needs to look more like a true schizo, he's too well kempt
>>484516048>best spell is 14 intRequirements ain't got nothing to do with usefulness.
Bro are you kidding me? He does the fucking meteor too?
>Titanite Shard 1 (x6)Why?
>>484516480yeah pretty much. dlc has a lot of A tier spirits too. none touch mimic or tiche for bosses
>>484511753it could have been an ash of those worm spheres fuckers from base game which can now snipe you over ludicrous distances and very fast
>>484516090Extremely bad. Even avoiding the comparison to the spirit tier the inquisitors heal 35%. The only thing it has on them is that it heals out of combat.>>484516140Great damage juxtaposed against literally no survivability. In every single boss I've tested him against he will die before 20% is done due to cleave.He'd be really fucking strong if he wasn't so fucking brittle. As is, he hardly weighs against the big mouth imp and he dies quicker than the fucking man flies lmao.
>>484511073How did Mohg's corpse even make it to Miquella?
>>484516594ye
>>484515746>dexYou are a hellbound faggot and your soul will languish in the lake of fire for all eternityBut because you posted a cute pupper I would reccomend an edgy 60 VIG/70-80 DEX/10 FTH/12 ARC rest spread in MND/END depend build that's optimal on wretch where you use enchantable keen infused weapons with multiple strikes/inmate bleed or both like claws/bestial claws/flamberge/milady/backhand blades with the bloodflame blade incantation to inflict big numbers, you can make due with just the 10 STR from the wretch class if you twohand some weapons I mentioned like the milady and the flamberge
>>484516594You rike?
>>484516441Chicken leg isn't bugged it's just really strong. Its status buildup is only slightly higher than any other Bleed Colossal (they were always insane and slept on) and its AR is much lower than say, a bleed GUGS. What makes it good is the second hit on the R2s gives you a little extra status and posture damage to help push you over the edge, but you literally gain this at the expense of damage.The chicken wing isn't itself overpowered it's just allowed cookie cutter RoBfags that never leveled strength above 12 to learn what the actual easymode of elden ring always looked like.
>>484516321You lose a ton of damage in return for getting a big burst later. I'd argue that with DLC scaling on split damage, a proper hybrid damage or pure damage build will outdamage a status build most of the time unless you're doing coop with giant health pools
>>484516594run to the throne for meteor
>>484516493too soulful for new-fromsoft you will get another ground slam attack and you will be HAPPY
>>484516493L2 blows the horn, applying a weapon buff. R2s now automatically summon a giant skeleton to swipe the ground alongside your own attack, charged R2s do the beam instead.
>>484512236you somehow charmed leda, at first
>>484516481A couple item descriptions mentioning his soldiers resolve being tested once he got more snake-y, so I think he started embracing his snake and fire powers once he discovered Boney village.The O' mother gesture would be like an expression of overwhelming emotion when he learned what happened to his mother's people, besides that snake skin seems a bit big for a baby Messmer.
Uncharged Messmer's Orb is actually fantastic for invasions, shit's so fast you can chase panicking hosts around for a guaranteed 1k combo if the slam hits them.FAI got all the coolest stuff, but then again, it needed new tools.
>>484501601anyone ITT who got a Radahn tattoo at any point in the last two years? how does it feel to have it transformed into a tattoo of a nigga that fucks twink ass in real time? lmao
>>484516185The Int/Arc one is backloaded like PoD is but the Great Beyond Staff is a sweet 45/45 so it slots right in if you were using the Golden Order seal.
>>484513168malenia is a fujo now
>>484516594It's fucking awful. There's no way to know how to avoid it until you've died to it a few times unless you're just roll spamming in a panic. The normal meteor homes in on where you are so remembering that there's no reason to try avoiding the center of the area for no reason it's really fucking stupid and the absolutely absurd amount of damage it does through a shield and whatever stacked resists you have is the cherry on top.
>>484516837>can't charm her to stand on my sideImagine having someone this faithful as a knightJust forbid her from murdering anyone without consulting with me first
You press L2, something awesome has to happen. So L2-awesome, connected now, in Elden Ring.
>>484516963Im gonna use it to dab on redfags
>>484516963too bad it does absolutely no damage in pve, only thing it has is hitting through walls but bear roar is unironically better for that at EXTREMELY low 17fp cost
>>484516876Messmer hated his fire, but he wants to be the one hated to save Marika the ire. His Fire Knights taking on his Fire Snake look is them telling him they love him even if he has flame and serpents in him. They are kinda cute that way.
>>484516679>slept onthey weren't slept on, colossal moveset is complete dog ass and it's not worth using a weapon with dog ass moveset when you can replicate shit it does with less sucky weapons
>>484517035A disease far worse than the scarlet rot.
>>484515345Most people were being realistic but there were niggers saying ytbtg if you upgraded past scadu 0 and comparing it spirit ashes
>>484516963Doesn't seem to have higher than usual poise. So if they know what they're doing they can jumping heavy you.
>>484516627Yeah but the mimic has been nerfed to the ground and only works as a glorified meat shield, tiche still a OP as hell, I'll upgrade Yoda let him rip and tear through dungeons.
>>484517318there were like 2 people in the entire thread saying that and 15 people saying how hard it was without exploring and 50 people telling them to use the fucking fragments
>>484515367>total lack of traces of Hornsent cultureThere are some hints of it, the Hornsent also had bairns like the Omen did, and I think the Omenkiller Mask is supposed to resemble the Furnace Visage
>>484516834Oh yeah that's even better, and also how the dragon greatclaw should've worked. L2 buff into the draconic sentinel moveset with lightning hitboxes.
>>484517396on a caster at least mimic does great dps and cannot die with marika's blessing on hotbar
>>484517406Those were the same retards saying YDBTG yes, which is my pointNobody is saying the entire thread was saying not to use the scaduThough there were niggers complaining about how it sullied their run or whatever
>>484516657Bruh.
>>484501601Mickey mouse game

>Spectral Rings, Putrescent Mass and Vortex of Putrescence are all not affected by the Prince of Death staff>The Necromancers inside the various DLC catacombs have centipede death wheel sigil spells we never get to use>Fake patch notes about PoD scalingWHY WHYY WHYY WHY
>>484517318Those were obviously shitposts anon. I actually did 0 scadu blessings (for fun, not some misguided sense of accomplishment) and it's obviously not the intended way to experience the DLC. I had to jump through so many hoops to prevent later bosses from oneshotting me and progressing my way through took way longer than a normal run. Faggots spouting "skibidi boop bop it doesn't count :^)" in the first week and right after the first patch were obviously just /v/ermin shitposting.
>>484517513Oh right, they also copy your items, I forgot.

Is blood tax just a better repeating thrusts or is it more nuanced?
>>484517841japanese cleanrot name is apparently some fujo pun toomiyahacki definitely knows how rotten those bitches are
>>484518053I feel like it's the other way around, Romina probably had a bigger role originally and got it cut or something
>>484517806She's in a desperate need of good fucking
>>484517839The point is that the faggots spamming "YDBTG" at every little thing are obviously malicious and most of the time don't even play the game themselves. It's not about being critical of how other's play, it's about being inimical to constructive discussion about a thing they hate. it's about having a personality built around seething about a thing and living your life to make things slightly inconvenient for anyone who enjoys it.Conflating dedicated, organized disruption with the fanbase they're attacking is the height of disingenuous. You're not the only decent person in a toxic sea of incels, no matter how much you'd love to pretend. We all just learn to recognize the autistic background noise for the overt malice that it is and tune it out.

>>484518336Where do you farm them and what are they for?
Ah shitHornsent or Needlest Knight?
>>484518315Autism is a natural disaster, anon. You might as well shout at stormclouds, there's about as much consciousness behind it. If you just put up your umbrella and ignore it long enough it'll go rain on someone else's parade.
>>484518361Yeah that makes some sense, Grand Cloister is huge for how completely nothingburger it is
>>484518053Original DLC plans were for a boss resembling each god/Empyrean which were Messmer Marika, Metyr GW, Romina Rotgod, Rellana Moongod, Putrescent GEQ. However when it went from one DLC to 2 they had to rewrite everything around Miquella which is why the most polished bosses don't have cutscenes and the Miquella/Radahn centric bosses all suck ass and have glitches like Gaius/Radahn's missing hitboxes.

>>484518491Not that anon but I've been ignoring official news to keep myself blind for my first DLC run. Did they actually confirm that they are making a second one?
>>484518053She has a more human-like form in the trailer cutscene. I assume she probably had a questline that got cut similar to the original Millicent one that would explain more about the rot shit.
>>484518548Did he not shit out a ton of blue flames? That's his phase transition, he doesn't get that many tricks
>can't stop spamming glintstone pebble for one fucking second in order to not aggro the merchant I'm standing behindThis dude sat there for ten minutes absolutely refusing to play the game just for the encounter to end like this.
The first Death Knight in Fog Rift absolutely destroyed me, but using the Deflect Hardtear for the one outside Rauh trivialised the encounter.Completely changes the game for the better.
>>484518440Helping Hornshit gives you a broken to fuck Ash of War for backhands that will likely be nerfed. Helping Needledick will get you a dash attack talisman. Pick your poison, either way the both of them are psychopaths.

>>484518617No, they've confirmed Sote will be the only dlc
>>484518483Yeah and don't forget it used to have rotted ancestral followers. Would fit more into the way they placed Romina in the middle of Rauh among other old timey muscley grugs.
>>484518617They were going to do 2 but at some point it was decided to just have 1.

>>484518438Lulling Branches are the new crafted starlight shards. They give more FP, but slowly cause sleep build up.Nectarblood Burgeon can be farmed extremely easily outside the Putrescent Knight's boss room, where 20+ sleeping animals are sleeping. They have a chance to drop it. If you have a reliable way do an AOE like the rune farming sword, you can kill all 20 in a second or 2 and if non are glowing purple, then immediately rest at the grace. Rinse repeat. I was assuming that the Nectarblood Burgeon was the hard material to farm since it says "Exceedingly rare to find" but I was able to get 40 really fucking fast.Now I'm just hoping that Dewgems or the Beast Horns are hard to find.

>>484518897That's really fastWere you using holy? He's insanely weak to holy damage and has super long combos/timing, so maybe he just died too fastI think you can't be directly under him for his phase transition, at least I never got it until he used one of his moves that sends him halfway across the arena
>>484518438Nectarblood Burgeons are a "limited" material used to craft Lulling BranchesLulling branches are craftable starlight shards that also build up sleep in the user over time.You can farm them incredibly quickly from the congregation of sleeping animals at the grace in front of Putrescent Knight. Every one of the sleeping animals can drop it and the rate is high enough that you'll get a couple basically every clear.>>484518336Most of the new recipes don't actually require limited materials at all. Frenzy pots, Eternal Sleep pots, big rot pots etc. all just require normal respawning materials from easy to access gathering spots.The limited mats are only used for weird shit like the new frenzy stone.

>>484518735I died once to the first death knight because of the soulsuck grab. Then I killed him on second try by staggering him with my greataxe and the other knight went down on first try because they have no counter to that. The most basic strat ever and it worked like a cheese.
>>484519129ds1……home……
>>484518336No, all this shit is exceedingly easy to farm and it has a synergy with saint trina smile. Every invader is going to use it.
>>484518548Post build.

>>484519129shoulda worn the havel set bro

Can you kill the madness lantern bitches? They're easy enough to avoid but I see a bunch of bloodstains.
>>484519234What do you mean? You don't like a boss animation canceling into doing a big AOE out of nothing once you trigger a HP threshold like Romina does? You don't like 12 hit combo chains that start from the same opener of a 3 combo string the boss usually does all the time? Skill issue. :)
>>484518548>go kill undead (no hp, super weak to holy) with holy build >wtf why it died so fast
>>484519492Most hosts won't bother. It's only an issue in possible gank scenarios but why wouldn't you just sever out and block lmaoThis is a direct boost to you as an invader
>>484519394Because they're obviously a mob enemy promoted to boss to pad the DLC.
>>484519478It has a lower fire resistance than what I'm wearing tho.
>>484519579parry the grab then either the parry removes there invinciblity, or the riposte removes it allowing you to spam into them.
I'm no expert and only fought the guy the one time but it really does seem like prime radahn invalidates most of the ways you can build a character in this game. You don't really have time to do anything but smack him once during your openings and you're otherwise light rolling or turtling 90% of the time. Seems like there wouldn't be enough time to do things like charged heavies, most weapon arts, most spells, etc. without having a summon or spirit there to distract him long enough.
>>484519443at least it was befo I fucked everythang up
>>484519579There's a letter in the mansion on the far side of the stealth segment that tells you how to touch them

There's actually a few fights in the DLC like this, where the boss forces you to deal with unnecessarily long combo strings only to 'earn' the right to barely land a single hit before starting again.I brought the Bloody Helice vs Radahn to see if I could use the WA to dodge the undodgeable cross slash and actually laughed out loud when I realized the rolling attack wasn't fast enough to safely punish some of his windows without getting me hit for trying.
he said he likes me :)
>>484519840It's less common though. I've only seen like 6 of them compared to when I played on PC with DS3 seeing dozens. Granted on PC I also had access to mods to boot them from my world if they started cheating...Fucking EAC. I want that mod back, I want to play on PC again.
>>484514189>DLC, close to end-game>Hostoid has ~900HPThat's why this golem needs complete strangers to hardcarry him even through trash mobs lmao
>>484518512>I am Malenia, president of the Radahn x Miquella OTP fanclub. And I have never known a healthy heterosexual shipping.
When I picked up my first dewgem I instantly knew what they were gonna be for from just the name alone. From you fuckers you actually put infinite starlight shards in the game.
for everyone having trouble with radahn, try either light rolling, if you wanna play melee. Much more doableor just fingerprint shield + gaius' heavy rapier w/ blood, shit does 135 buildup per hit
>>484519957would rather just leave him unbeaten atp tbqh>>48451984917 skibidis and abusing bloodfiends arm, 100% completely serious
>>484520031Tell him to kill himself
>>484514815>Against Putrescent Knight I was able to stunlock him 100 to 0Post webm and/ or build.
>>484520151i will never do that, i will hug him and warm him with my warming stones and ask him about his things
>>484520110My favourite are the fucking Golden Vow consumables that take non-respawning limited materials despite just being a craftable copy of the WA version we can cast for free.
>>484516980Isn’t Staff of the Great Beyond better than the Prince of Death staff now if you level Faith and Intelligence equally? It has a bit better scaling, looking at it. I’m going pure INT until I get it.
>>484501616>>484501616>>484501616
>>484513572I practically never drink my physique except for bosses, and generally ignore all other buffs unless a boss really starts kicking my ass.
>>484520110>light rollinglargely underestimated strategy, can save your ass more than you expect
>>484519798yeah i'm watching some of the fights now, bayle would literally melt my case
>>484520272you can give it to the tear to buff itself though
>>484520140Single arm or powerstance?
>>484520423single arm
>>484520306yep, you can actually start learning the moveset if you lightrollbesides, I'm convinced some moves are just not dodgeable with medium roll lmao
>>484518147So he always knew that she wanted her brother to be dicked by Radahn? He was always aware of the fujo shit? He always knew Miquella was for Radahn, and def not Godwyn? Reeee.
>>484519664But higher overall defense.
>>484515003>Wow base game is so full of filler, it should have been like Shadow of the Colossus with empty atmospheric areas>DLC is like Shadow of the Turdossus>NOOOOO NOT LIKE THATKek /v/iggers are hilarious
>>484520140at least you have pride even if you suck at the game, unlike more than half of this thread that cheesed him
>>484520214I was on a level 120 arc build (60 arc), had to use the strength physick to wield the chicken wing. I had it occult infused instead of blood since he can't bleed. Lion's Claw for the WA.He staggers in 2 fully charged R2s, IIRC. I would have to fight him normally to get the first stagger (Lion's claw helps since it can reach him when he moves away). You stagger, riposte and charge an R2 into his recovery. This causes him to start with the combo into the double slam, because he inputs reads and uses that combo as a 'punish'. Only, you recovery in time, so you roll the combo and punish the second slam with another charged R2. He's down again. You just repeat this forerver.Sometimes he'll break the pattern to do his phase transition attack (and then you have to work to get him back in the loop), but often he just skips it because the staggers fuck with his AI. Several of his attacks leave openings for charged heavies/lion's claw so it's not too difficult to get him back in the loop once you know his moveset. It can just be tricky to do it fast enough since a lot of his time-waster moves will let his posture regen
>>484518053She is 100% a random unused boss from somewhere else that they didn't have finished properly by the release of the base game.
>>484519704>>484520004So what you’re saying is, the caster-summoner playstyle is the superior one?I’m still mad that a lot of the wizards we fight in this game are summoning huge ass giants and dozens of goons.Using ashes is literally the ONLY way to feel like you’re summoning an army, and only if you pick the right ones.
What should Ranni's other 2 arms be doing while she gives you the ol' succ?
>>484520110This. Midrolling Radahn was unironically harder than the final bosses of Sekiro for me.
>>484520631Not sure if you noticed but I'm getting killed by fire at the moment. I don't care about the rest.
>>484520278That's not *exactly* how it is, but the scaling drops after 45 points. So after you hit 45 int, each additional point in int will be less efficient than a point in faith up to 45. Where as with something like PoD, each point is less effective UNTIL after 60.
>>484516660>Mohg fight ends>gooner arm reaches out and pulls body into egg
>>484520110>>484521197Changing a fundamental principle of your build means you didn't beat the game.
>>484520004Are you not able to unlock target and use the WA in reverse to move yourself behind him and use the jab jab jab part of the weapon art from there?
>>484519104Yeah, I've got lots of emphasis on holy damage.Bit disappointing that it went by so fast, but oh well.
>>484516660Leda grabbed it while we weren't looking
>>484518723kek
>>484522583Where did she hide it?
>>484519115>Most of the new recipes don't actually require limited materials at all. Frenzy pots, Eternal Sleep pots, big rot pots etc. all just require normal respawning materials from easy to access gathering spots.This is godsend for someone who loves invading but loathes to use CEI can stack 10 hefty rot pots easily. Why the fuck would they limit aeonian butterflies at this point? Let us buy them.
>>484520004>There's actually a few fights in the DLC like this, where the boss forces you to deal with unnecessarily long combo strings only to 'earn' the right to barely land a single hit before starting again.That's my experience with most bosses so far, and it's tedious.Add to that their enormous health bars and a feeling of resigned defeat just overtakes me.
>>484520841>This causes him to start with the combo into the double slam, because he inputs reads and uses that combo as a 'punish'Ah, makes sense.>Several of his attacks leave openings for charged heavies/lion's claw I've only ever seen the post-slam cooldown and the prancing pony finals give any kind of opening. Even when he's doing his drive-by, he gets carried out of range of any kind of r1.
The existence of Rellana, Gaius, and that fucker Consort Radahn makes this DLC ultimately just a 6.5/10 for me, those three are so stupid and annoying to fight, especially consort radahn, it's like fromsoft had the basis for a great boss fight with nameless king and gael and they just threw it all awayThe only good bosses in the DLC are the dancing lion, messmer, and Romina as forgettable as she was at least she wasn't annoying to fight, to this day DS3 and ringed city is still unmatched in boss quality
>>484526560Rellana and Gaius are literally tutorial bosses
