>>486902280Why didn't Miquella just fuck his sister?
Good thread. I now claim it as the straight demigod incest general.
Elden Ring sucks, God 2 won
>>486902280Good OP!>>486902629Good poster!>>486902552Miyazaki got scared.
So what was the hint or nod in the DLC that was suppose to give us a sneak peak of next game? Why character or item felt out of place? It has to do with Lamentar right?
>>486902552Being raised by a whore made him into a gay retard. Nice kid, but a little dumb.
You know, Im gonna say a really unpopular opinion here, even if you disagreeMaybe Mohg wouldnt be so difficult if he wouldnt spray fucking DOT ground effect all over the arena withe very single one of his movementsIt's not even predictable
assassin's gambit has better range then I thought (still lost the invasion kek)
> most lore bits say "Death"> ghostflame breath's description suddenly says "dead"can someon explain? Not to mention the retarded idea that actual corpses are moving to gravesite plains. I hate DLC lore currently, it's so frustrating
>>486902819it literally is predictable. each move throws it at a specific angle. the non-spear one, his hand position determines if he's throwing down, sideways, or forward.
>>486902964we know that corpses are moving there from the getgo, it's the entire premise of the DLC. Mohg's body goes there. Dead shit ends up here. We've been populating the shadowrealm with our murder.
>>486902819>it's not even predictableIt is, though.My last kill of him was at level 20 and I fucked up phase 1 and had to do half of phase 2 with no heals and like 50 HP - 1 tick of bloodflame would have killed me. It's only unpredictable if you're fighting on the side of his arena with elevation changes.
Back Archives are probably the best invasion area if you have gravityIt's like research hall rafters on steroids
>>486903204Holy headcanon
>>486903041You can also Carian retaliate the downward one, surprisingly. It's nice because it's really annoying to be forced off of him otherwise.
>>486903374who killed mohgwhere did mohg's body gowho killed radahnwhere did radhan's soul gosimple questions anon
>>486903438yeah thats pretty sick tech
When does the brick hammer get good? I have it at plus 9 and it’s damage is still bad
>>486903204> """goes""" thereAnsbach tells you it was stolen
>>486902972The Haligtree wasn't a secret at all.Castle Sol in the Mountaintops, Temple Quarter in Liurnia (Icerind Hatchet) and Village of Albinaurics are all areas related to the Haligtree.
>>486903495it's a high strength scaling weapon
>>486903663I have 53 strength. Godricks great sword at 4 is way better for damage
>>486903740godrick has an axe anon. and it's somber, not regular, of course a +4 somber is better than a +9 regular
>>486903542
>>486903542And where did it get taken anon?
>>486903549The path to the Haligtree was absolutely a secret, not only by having a secret medallion but also the entire transportation to it from Ordina. It was certainly not a normal path people took. The Forbidden Lands are Forbidden, afterall.
>>486903892This ain’t an axe. Seems like there’s no reason not to use colossal weaponshttps://eldenring.wiki.fextralife.com/Grafted+Blade+Greatsword
>>486903740Just put the values in a built calculator>Grafted BladeNever
>>486903949You are confusing the Land of Shadow with the Afterlife/Spirit Realm. The Spirit Realm is what’s on the other side of the divine gate. The Land of Shadow is just a regular place being veiled from the rest of the world. It’s not the afterlife.
>>486904189>grafted blade = godrick's greatswordnigga can you read?
>>486904147Most players can’t fathom that just because we find out a secret or go to a secret place, that it’s still a secret to everyone else. Same with Deeproot Depths and Godwyn’s corpse. These are secret places nobody knows about or are able to get to.
>>486903936Miquella is actually really strong. The reason radahn fled to caelid is because radahn saw how obsessed Miquella was and jokingly said "Alright little bro if you beat me in a fight I'll marry you" miquella then immediately picked up radahn without breaking a sweat, and like the man radahn idolized so much, slammed him into the ground creating a crater. Radahn then fled out of sheer terror and malenia chased him as miquella took radahns joke as a vow and that by all rights he's now his husband.
its really not that hard to get
>>486904280Proof? because Mohg was necessary for Miquella to get into the Land of Shadows in the first place too.
>>486904376no...
>>486904464That isn't even close to the case though
>>486904257With the way bosses are whatever has the highest damage in a single swing is what you want to use>>486904376Godrick is grafted so it’s his sword
>>486903041>>486903221>at a specific angleOkay, now adjust for specific height and distance from the ground.Also, there are liek 500 deifferent splatter animations. Every explosion ahs its own pattern. Do you expect me to spend 10000 tries to memorize them all for one boss? nah, im just gonna cheese this gaylord.I hope you didnt somehow dodge into the stairs because then youll have to adjust everything. And no, the projectiles dont travel in a straight line and arent even visible.It's "TECHNICALLY" predictable in the same way that a billiard move is predictable by the laws of the universe>carian retaliationIf you need to pull a very specific skill out of your ass that isnt even on the main road, youre grasping for straws harder than a man sinking in wetland muck>i did it at lvl 20Whoop de fucking doo, congrats to you. I guess walls arent technically a hindrance because some dude managed to clip through them.
>>486904464anon we literally go to the roots of the erdtree in the base game>>486904597????????????????
>>486904589yes it is, you see the roots gathering nutrients and flowing it upward to the erdtree
>>486904737you only have a small window to attack bosses without getting hit so colossal weapons are always BIS because they do the most damage in one swing
>>486904737how do you explain us seeing the roots of the actual erdtree in the base game bro
>>486904459Why shouldn't I accept this as my headcanon as well
>>486904623there are not 500 splatter animations, it depends where he's throwing it at, which is AT YOU. if you move yourself into a good position you will know exactly where it goes.>using a defensive skill is cheating! because i say soAIIIIIIIIE NOOOOOOOOOOOOOO
>>486904880thats the halig tree
>>486903452we're there and we're not dead. Death with capital D goes there because its not part of the golden order. capital Death isn't the same thing that happens when you get cut up with a sword.
>>486904189that's a great rune stick for a free godrick great rune effect for 60 seconds
>>486904623>Every explosion has its own patternActually, none of his explosion attacks leave bloodflame at all. His bloodflame claws, bloodflame fist, 1H bloodflame ground thrust and explosion, and 2H bloodflame ground thrust and explosion do not produce any residual bloodflame whatsoever.You got filtered. Get over yourself and learn how to play the video game. You're not special for being bad. You're not "right" for being bad. You're just bad and you're crying because you're bad.
>>486904147The path where you just use medallions and reach the place probably was, but since you have random 2nd gen albinaurics hanging around Ordina they had to reach there from somewhere. Except that the game can't really show us this option.
>>486904992no it isn't, open your map, it's literally right beneath the erdtree
This little room before the Small Private Altar site of grace in Belurat is perfect for tuning fashion or just taking a screenshot. Right next to a grace, not affected by time or weather and you can listen to the Belurat soundtrack while you're at it.
>>486905115he scadutree is right under the erdtree, it literally lines up
>>486902280Let's add pvp to the title of every /erg/ from now on just to mindbreak the faggot that shit and pissed themselves over it
>>486904942why arent you using a colossal weapon?
>>486905230h-hey cutie
>>486904942>there are not 500Pic related>it depends where he's throwing it atSo it is highly variable as I said>which is AT YOUExcept if I moved in any conceivable way within the second after he locked the attack on> if you move yourself into a good position Which exactly are good position. By your own admission, it's highly variable, so finding the "good position" is an additional layer of fuckery.>>using a defensive skill is cheating! because i say soLiterally never said that. Now youre just making shit up
>>486905251no it isn't>>486905302
>>486905440didn't read, anyone who does this respond to each line of a post with greentext never has anything worthwhile to saygit gud
Are there any true combos/rollcatches in pvp on light greatswords aside from the double hit on standing heavy, jump heavy, and dash heavy? Killing heathens is going a little better, but not being able to trap any of the disgusting fucks in a decent combo feels infuriating
Anyone got a good build that combines scarlet rot with red lightning dragon shit? Would it be a dex/arcane build or what
>>486905032>none of his explosion attacks leave bloodflame at all.Bloodflame talons does. his spearthrust into the ground does
>>486905474the fight would be a lot easier if you used a colossal weapon. just run in hit her then run out before she does her bullshit. instead you have to play her dance
>>486905474yes it is
Am I getting old or are bosses vulnerable times after attacks getting shorter which each game
>>486905251How are you aligning the maps?
>>486905612just cast scarlet aeonia on a faith buildwow
>>486905004We're there with the same magic Miquella, Leda etc all used to get there, that created the break in the veil to travel through somehow or another.
>>486905719see >>486905634
>>486904470proof that being stolen and moved ks thr same as drifting? And how is Messmer in the Realm of Shadow?
>>486905573>makes up bullshit>gets mad when disprovenDie mad, bitch.
>>486905719Yeah theyre really short with the new bosses. Base game let you reposition and charge r2, now youre lucky to even get the charge r2 off at all. Hope you got a fast charged r2 with a lot of forward momentum.
>>4869056021H dash heavy fucks people up all over the place. but no, it's not got particularly great true combos. Find good times to strip buffs though. Remember the sword swing in the animation of casting it does damage and even if you get stagger out of it they go off. They can do a fucking ton of damage.
>>486905949Messmer and all his soldiers were sent there on a crusade before the lands were sealed away bro. They are still alive.
>>486905004what is Death?
>>486905634colossals are fun but you can't do this with a colossalnice shitpost tactic btw very engaging and fresh!>>486905719#2
>>486906101miquella's delicious feet...
It's a Saturday in July so how do we determine if the people derailing and shitting up the general are retarded teenagers or just loser adults spending their Saturday night shitposting and drinking alone?
>>486904942The way the flame sprays is highly depending on your exact positioning and timing when dodging.Dodging just a 10th of a second later in a 12slightly different direction changes where you can stand without getting burned to death. Which means you need to perfectly nail every single dodge every single time to predict the pattern.Admitting that isnt an admission of bad play. it's just how this optional bossfight at the end of the game is designed.Just pack your shit in, dude.
wow this retard replied to me again thinking i was going to talk to him
There was already a new thread>>486901269>>486901269>>486901269
fc?
>DLC patch comes out>first loading screen of the session went from a few seconds to a few minutes>verify integrity>nothing>reinstall>fixes it>inappropriate activity detected and im booted back to title screen>games broken againextremely epic
>>486906383fuck off retard
>>486906108there was no need to be sent there, it's a normal place, people lived there
>>486905004>capital Death isn't the same thing that happens when you get cut up with a sword.prove it isn't, we're literally told Death washes up here. All manners of Death, even.
>>486906101gonna need source now
>>486904942use a better ash of war next time
what are the downsides to colossal weaponsbeing slow is only an issue for pvp
>>486906426>no need to be sent thereYes they did, because they didn't live there. It's the same phrase you use to say "Malenia sent her army to Caelid" anon. It was a physical place, they walked there, they invaded and genocided, it got ugly and got sealed off for the barbarism. This much is very clear from the descriptions we have.
>>486906547you didn't beat et
so what is there to do after beating the dlci started a couple of new characters but never really felt too interested in continuing to play even if i tried different buildstried a strength build with the guts meme sword, it felt extremely bland and repetitivetried a sorcery build focused on swordceries, it was kind of interesting but felt stale after a whilemost engaging one was an arcane build with poison archery and the arcane scaling staff and talisman, along with the big spiky greatshield and the spiky spear. the bow was nice for picking targets off at range or poisoning enemies too dangerous to fight, the sorcery was just glintstone pebble to make farming thin animal bones less of a hassle, incantations were good for poison mist application to unaware enemies, scrot breath for anything, fireball for fire damage, the spiky spear does pierce and strike damage interestingly enough so it was able to handle stony enemies, but even with all of that variety on a single build i just got fucking bored after getting to raya lucarianone of the locations are terribly engaging, the story isn't enjoyable at all, the ranni quest just feels like some mary sue faggot wrote fanfic and shoved it in the game (hurr ranni is like the other empyreans but she's cooler and better and is good at everything and outsmarts everyone and has no faults and is perfect) it's just fucking shitty writingis there any way i can try to make the game more engaging? i tried doing a little bit of mod making but even then it's like what's the point
>>486906613being slow
>>486906547vow sucks ass>>486906613keep it up bro! i'm sure someone will bite the bait soon enough! your saturday night won't be wasted, surely!
Did Malenia intentionally shatter her needle and fuck up Caelid?
>>486906728only an issue if theres lots of enemies but you can work around it
>>486906547Why didn't you do the second attack?
>>486906214Miquella's delicious armpits...>>486906530https://x.com/Krekkov/status/1814777036399128718
>>486906763she did.all of this to have miquella fuck radahn btw enjoy.
>>486905628They literally do not
>>486906763it's always been intentional but we didn't know the reason until the dlc lore
>>486906729>vow sucks ass>literally showing video proof of it being otherwise
>>486906718No replayability has nosedived compared to past games and it basically has to do with breaking the world formula
>>486904942NTA but you need to calm down. Nobody said anything about cheating, dude.Also, when you post webms like that you shouldnt call other people bad at the game
>>486907048man that's really depressinggonna have to find a new game to autistically read the wiki of
damn he's still trying to bait me
>>486906763That was obvious from day 1. She literally "went all out, just this once Master" and that never changed.
>>486907046i tried to use it several times, the usability is just bad, too short duration, too long cast time, barricade lasts ten times as long and costs a third of the fp and protects you only slightly worse
>>486907137forgive me, miquebart
>>486907048It has everything to do with the base game being huge pussy shit about not locking you out of content. Frenzy Flame should lock you out of every sidequest in the game except its own with how much people hate you. Following paths to endings should have had far more specific content. Being able to collect everything on one playthrough is stupid for a game of this size.

>>486907369starting a new play through is boring id rather contine on my one character
>>486907486That's literally what NG+ is for. I didn't say shit about new characters. You can do it however you want.
I wish I was as passionate about anything as Shabriri is about burning the Erdtree to the ground.
>dragon halberd>beast lord chest>Elden Lord Crown and gauntlets>Solitude LegsLet me guess, you need more?
>>486907558>burning the erdtreeeverything anon, everything.
>>486907556NG isnt enjoyable for me i stop before elden lord then just explore
1/4 hell
>>486907770then you will be doomed to meaningless quests that don't impact anything in the world
>>486907369I sure love being part of Ranni's squad, Volcano Manor, Dragon Cult, Bloody Finger and Lord of Frenzied Flame all at once and none of it impacting my game!Same as Fia killing in the Roundtable Hold, Nepheli being the queen of Stormveil Castle and giving Radahn a honourable death for the Redmanes and nothing changing!
>>486906928Miquella is not for lewd, Miquella is for cute
>>486907907I hate that Radahn stole the role Malenia and Mohg had in fanarts. What a bitch.
2/4
Guy says the most simple thing ever and you scream and cry that he isnt using the same tryhard edgelord OnlyWaifu ROB build you are.>maybe it would be easier if there weren't so mucbground effectYes. It would be easier. And quite honestly, the ground effect is annoying with HOW LONG it remains. Make it 2 seconds, not the 5 or 10 or whatever it is.And yes, the attacks spraying it everywhere makes it hard to position. But you cant admit that. You must somehowbpretend like it doesnt makebthe fight harder at all. Go take your cheesy build somewhere else.
>>486908127That's his husband
>>486907860Yeah. I know the old games barely did this too, but it's time they moved forward. ER could have been a far more ambitious game if they actually focused far more on constructing the game around the factions you can ally with for endings throughout the whole design.
>>486905602Crouch 2hr1 into r1 is not a true combo but it connects A LOT for monstrous damage
Man fuck my ass
>>486907907Miquella is for sex!
>>486902819>Mohg's bloodflame is unpredictableFalse.>>486904623>massive wall of copeFalse.>>486905628>Bloodflame talons leaves bloodflame on the groundFalse.>His spear thrust into the ground leaves bloodflame on the groundFalse.Here, have proof. Stop telling lies on the Internet and learn how to play the fucking video game before you cry about it.
>>486908325>I know the old games barely did this tooHuh? You make enemies in DS3 depending on what you do, don't you?
>>486907475oof that's harsh>>486907556ng+ is just as repetitive as starting a new character>>486908127yeah miquella x mohg is a much better ship than miquella x radahn
>>486908539I said "barely" not "not at all." They impact fairly small amounts of content though ultimately. Very few major changes.
>>486908661NG+ is way less repetitive than starting a new character since you're at a completely different level of power and build options though, with most of the tedium done
>>486908479
2/4... pls join
>>486908310His husband shouldn't exist
>>486908862i'm australian... you wouldn't want me to join..
>>486908790the boss battles are the tedium, the real gameplay is exploration and finding new items and most of that is already done in the first run
>>486908661Miquella x Mohg is built on a bed of lies
>>486906928severely disappointed that that was his thumb peeking out from behind the censorship and not his foreskin
The scadu tree used to be right next to the Erd tree as a normal balance of light and shadow and the natural order of the world and shadow lands were a part of the lands between, where the big body of water is.The great bridge from Rauh used to lead to Leyndell, past the two trees.The Numen landed on the Cerulean cost in their coffin ships, and started migrating north, creating the civilisations in Siofra, Nokron, Nokstella, Ainse, Uld palance and Deeproot depths. The floying coffins the Tarnished uses to travel between the areas were actually technology left from the NumenA small group of the numen rather than settling down, continued migrating, until they settled in the Shaman village.Hornsent, who were the dominant race of the lands between back then, then started using the Shamans to put in jars to make the saint, but somehoe Marika took the role and had her son start the crusade.Afte the crusade, she had the entire centre of the lands between sealed into another dimension, and also tried to kill the Scadu tree by having Mesmer wrap a sealing tree around it.The Cerulean coast used to be the same elevation as the rest of the shadow lands, but Marika's teleportation only took the top layer, resulting the area becoming a coastal low land. Likewise, Limgrave which used to the bed rock of the Cerulean coast had its top layer scraped off, becoming the new soil that eventually regrew.This is also the reason why Limgrave itself is a coastal low land, with exposed foundation columns similar to Rauh ruinsLikewise, the great bridge from Ruah leading to Leyndell was severed. The multi layered valleys, canyons and ravines in the Shadow lands were also the results of the land being teleported, lifted and breaking during its transport to the shadow realm by Marika
I’ve been ruminating on some concepts in the game, specifically prophecy, and symbolic fulfillment.>The Eclipse is a symbol seen on the banners in castle sol and the mausoleum knights. Ranni represents the moon and Godwyn represents the sun. Miquella could not create an eclipse because it already happened during the night of the black knives. The darkmoon is called such because it represents a moon during an eclipse.

>>486906003>>486908332thanks anons, will tryI wish I could have shown this invasion to the idiot that was telling me that great runes are cheating in seamless invasions. Having 3 people with half a braincell that run away when I look in their direction is absolutely infuriating, and I wont this by the skin of my teeth after 9 solid minutes of fighting.
Did they nerf DMGS damage?
>>486909283/erg/ is suffering a reddit spacing epidemic
>>486909147>>486909421maybe there's an alt version with his cock showing up idk need to wait for someone to post the fanbox
>>486909514Yeah, I'm gay for femboys, why aren't you?
>>486908127finally, beautiful miquella chest
Anyone got the customization settings this toon so I can make her?
>>486909129so are lots of relationships, at least they're cute together
"...and Melkor sprang upon the mound; and with his black spear he smote each Tree to its core, wounded them deep, and their sap poured forth as it were their blood, and was spilled upon the ground. But Ungoliant sucked it up, and going then from Tree to Tree she set her black beak to their wounds"
>>486909656yeah hold on
>>486909046Most of the boss battles are pretty easy on NG+ especially and you have tons of ways to make them easy, is it a big deal? You don't have to do very many at all ultimately.But again if you want everything available in one game you are resigning yourself to NPC questlines never mattering at all, the things you do having no impact on anyone else and thus all the effort or intrigue of any differing questline will never go anywhere. You will never find new things to explore in places based on the consequences of your actions elsewhere. You really want a boring gameworld.
why are we like 6 games in and more greatswords don't fucking have the claymore pokeswhy is from retarded
Can't believe the memestrat was to poke this retard from up close and ignore the lava.
>>486909735no i would love it if it were like that, but in elden ring it's not
this one had miquella tag on it so i think it's him, it's cute anywaymy prediction of "miquella will merge with malenia, solving both of their curses" didn't happen
>>486909523is there a way to convert a seamless save to a normal save?
These catacombs are GOOD.The next game needs more areas like this.
>>486908479oh no no no no shittersisters how will we ever recover
Also is there some known secret item in the room? Because I got the Eye Surcoat drop out of nowhere.
lorefags be like i dont even like the game outside collecting rocks and flowers
>>486909969then you should follow the quote chain all the way back to the one saying the game should be designed like that
>>486906763She did, but I don't think she forsaw it fucking up all of Caelid the way it did. She probably thought the damage would have been localized around Radahn.
>>486909543no
>>486908862Is it still up? do I have to queue for a certain map?
>>486910052don't do that unless you never plan to play with EAC on, you'll almost certainly get banned because of all the extra items seamless adds to your save
>>486910118that item is just there anon, it's lore
>>486910172oh sorry im just a fuckup retard loser i just want to die
>>486910052why bother, just cheat in all the shit you need to recreate your character anyways
>>486910302damn...I want to do a playthrough with a fren then change back to vanilla once we were done
>>486910159lorefags be like yeah i'm a godwyn fan i know everything about godwyn i fucking love godwynanyways he should have been resurrected in the DLC (LOL!)

I wish there were more ice lightning weapons and spells, the blue lightning is more aesthetically pleasing than the regular yellow.
>>486910118>>486910313Is the lore implication supposed to be that one of Olfnir's spies managed to make it to Rykard before getting -ACKed?
bro your tumblebuff?

Don't know if you're here but nice work bro. You're the first host to go the distance with me today.

how viable are pure INT/FTH builds? obviously you won't do as much damage as investing in one or the other, so what tools can optimize a build?

There are so many things in ER that just make me go "what the fuck why" and I know some of them are shit that's "tradition" from previous games too but the thing is they bugged me in those games toowhy is str the only attack stat you can underinvest in with two handing?why does dex affect spell casting speed? what does dex have to do with int, and why are dex/int builds rewarded?why is there so much weapon size disparity in some categories? why is there a katana that's like 5 meters long in a category that's basically a straight sword length otherwise?why are there like 10 fth hammers and 3 different int katanas?why is there a built in penalty to fire damage when wet, and then add water puddles or rain fucking everywhere in the game? Similarly, why is there a reward for lightning damage when wet?why does bleed just gets to delete things?why is nothing in game affect by madness when clearly nonhuman things can be affected by madness?why does deathblight still exist?why does fth get to have spells of 3 of the 4 damage types in the game?why does piercing damage do extra damage while counterattacking? why doesn't everyone have this?why

>>486910807I am an illustrious and golden god, a luminary star-child that the peons of the lands cower before in deific reverence, yet I bear the legs of a chicken. It is a curse I alone bear, even if I ordain that all my minions must bind their legs in talon-stilts and wear feathered ritual skirts. The source of my terrible affliction? I was touched at birth by the mad taint of the Chicken-Leg Outer God, whom Marika did affront in her past life as a whore. For this I brood (literally) in my black spiral castle in the fuchsia lands beyond the fog of the mountaintops, ever waiting mother's return.

>>486912829there are only a handful of things in the entire game that inflict rot. only four of them scale with fth. it's a bad question.
>>486909803>why are we like 6 games in and more greatswords don't fucking have the claymore pokes>why is from retardedYou think that's bad, I miss the hell out of the halberd moveset from Demon Souls. DS1 halberds are alright but since DS2 the animations have been disappointing and slow.
great shield/greatspear is the most gratifying and rewarding gameplay. slowly poking enemies to death in a slow and methodical way while my wife latenna shoots thousands of arrows way back at the boss door gives a satisfaction like no other
homo
>>486913058DeS Halberd was peak. I did love the mechanic of DaS1 failed thrusts though. Fun balance point for them.I wish pretty much all greatsword movesets stopped existing because their movesets are stupid and slow for most of the real life greatswords, and so even is just the animation of slinging it over a shoulder.

You're not miquella. Your are brown and ugly and fat
>>486913803>ER is slowerIs this edited to fuck with people or what, that can't be the case, a lot of animations for a lot of weapons look sped up to compete with the ever increasing speed of the PvE
>>486912559This>>486912229They're a lot of fun.
>>486913803The ones on the left are still not very good animations and their twohanded ones are awful.
I'm literally Thiollier
>>486913803The classic greatsword moveset in these games is just shit animation, it looks like you're swinging around a fucking 50kg bat when even the heaviest of greatswords (like a zweihander) is like 4kg at MOST
>>486913427>>486913803Considering how much of a cluster fuck the dev cycle of the game was I'm convinced they slowed everything down so much because one group of devs REALLY wanted to push ashes of war as the end all be all to combat
>>486913803>devs not understanding that greatswords weren't massively heavy chunks of metal>but still relatively light and mobile swords meant more for crowd control than thunking people with heavy crushing weight>>486913983cope and seethe
>>486914168how in the fuck is this anything like Miquella? you look like a tranny, disgusting
>>486914168is this a girl or a boy?
>>486914113do not simp for toxic women retard
>>486914115I personally like the DS3 animation speed and weight it conveys. Fromsoft appears to have taken notice on how light real greatswords actually are by creating a lite greatsword class.
>>486914275>how in the fuck is this anything like Miquella?see >>486914285>is this a girl or a boy?boy
>>486914168idgi
Greatswords and greatweapons and various other sorts should be unusable one handed. They need to adapt a basic system where things force dual handedness to even use as an option.
>>486914380wearing a tranny outfit doesn't make you like Miquella, there's a reason you didn't show your face and it's because you're ugly
> Greatsword patterned after the black steeple of the Helphen, the lampwood which guides the dead of the spirit world. The lamplight is similar to grace in appearance, only it is said that it can only be seen by those who met their death in battle.Was this meant to mean something?
>>486914595no
>>486914380why is that boy wearing women's clothing?
>>486914595it mightwhat does it mean to you?
>>486914320This.
If Marika didn't want the whole her being Radagon thing to be public knowledge, it's really weird how his image is in churches everywhere.
>>486914595tbqh it seems to me like it was intended to relate tot he Scadutree but since Miyazaki set a whole DLC in a realm with it's own "Shadow" Erdtree and cut every single reference to it's lore we can't ever know. I'll never not be mad that the DLC became a big Griffith wank with some Marika on the side and didn't even explain the bigass tree on the horizon at all times even a LITTLE.
>>486914113I'm as weak as a kitten, and thick as two planks.
>>486914356but when will they give me back my wife
>>486914595Before the DLC was released there was speculation that it could mean something.Now, it doesn't.
>>486914356the name "light greatsword" pisses me off like you have no clueits a fucking longsword>b-but the longsword is a straight swordthe greatsword is a colossal swordall traditional from animations are espactic as shit honestly, the way your character handles a straight sword is embarrassing and I don't even do sword shit irl, I just know you're not supposed to fucking swing like that
>>486914773radagon is the elden lord, his image is naturally going to be widespread and popular
>>486914879>>486913803>>486914115>>486914356>>486914879Too bad, shiteaters hated Dark Souls 2's HEMA inspired mo-capped animations so you're fucked and can eat shit. Thanks retards!
>>486914849do you also wear women's clothing?
>>486914869there are like 3 swords with that moveset in elden ring
>>486914848Makes sense. It has a similar motif as the Shadow Keep, so I can see a cut version of the keep being Helphen Keep, and the Scadu Tree being the Helphen itself.
>>486914054>Is this edited to fuck with people or what, that can't be the case,It is. I just recorded this.
>>486914879yeah they know how to do movesets with katanas and odachi, they base it on actual techniquesrealistic european sword movesets basically don't exist in videogames though, it's unlikely fromsoft will go out of their way to fix it
>>486914595tl;dr it's a forgotten death rite. This stuff is ancient, and it was never clear whether it was suppose to be elaborated on in the DLC.
For me it was the Silver Knight Straightsword and Blueblood Sword movesetsI'll literally never forgive DaS3 for not giving us the SKSS back
>>486915219That looks just as slow though...?
>>486914653my dad didn't love me enough
Maybe I'm just a shitter but does crossbow spam seem unpunishable?
>>486915341>That looks just as slow though...?That's my point, the speed of the greatswords in Elden Ring is ass.
>>486914168cute

so what in the fuck is even going on in these scenes>great rune/elden ring dissolves into shadow cum>shadow starts overtaking everything>entity spawns>ground becomes water>new pocket dimension associated with the being that spawnednotable difference is that in renalla's scene the shadow forms a crucible and turns into a cloud, whereas in radagon's scene it collects on the surface like a thick fog. weird thing about the renalla one is that it doesn't appear like spirit ashes or an illusion, it appears like a player summon, so how the fuck is that working?
I wonder how long it will take for Seamless players to realise just how much of a death trap Torrent is in PvP. As soon as you land a hit on someone there's absolutely nothing they can do to prevent themselves from getting stunlocked to death. Doesn't matter if they levelled vigor or not because after a couple hits they'll be knocked off Torrent and put into a painfully long getting up animation that has no i-frames.

>>486916624>>486916768what does the email say?
>>486915181Yeah that'll be my headcanon for now. Honestly this is what breaks the DLC's lore contributions for me. Man this DLC was a fucking letdown aside from bosses and items.>None of the new levels surpass the old ones>The lore was basically only made more confusing and almost no important answers were givenI think I'm done with fromsoft lore. The constant reshuffling and lack of consistent vision is far too apparent this time around. >>486915743>>486916243I still think the Forbidden Lands and Mountaintops/Consecreted Snowfield have a strong strong lore connection to the Shadowrealm pre-sealing.

>>486916887the DLC revealed a ton about the crucibles but in the most esoteric way possible that you have to read between the lines for. protip: the crucible was alive.
>>486917380lolI don't know why you were using AO3 instead of a google docs repository anyways though
>>486917380Did you actually just upload something straight from the game?
>>486917320You're colorblind and fighting password phantoms
>>486917380because you're uploading stuff people here wrote I guess, not your own writingthere's probably another similar website that would work
>>486917320>But what the fuck is the point of EAC? This shit just causes lag and FPS issues and doesn't even protect you?the point is to collect your data and sell it
>>486917404Can you spell it out to a lorechud? Of it was alive, what was it? Did they have to crawl into Metyr’s chest-pussy to get crucible powers?
>>486916624>>486917380
>>486916624NOOOOOOOOOOO
>>486917619It mentions a complaint explicitly. Either he uploaded something he really shouldn't have (ie pages from a guidebook or something) or else bamco literally DMCA'd AO3 because of 4chan fanfiction--which would be incredibly fucking funny.
>>486917595nta but players using passwords look different? never noticed
>>486917323Every other game was more coherent and consistently planned. The lore wasn't too overcrowded and the majority of the elements within it were handled with respect and care.Elden Ring has this issue where the lore seems to cover atleast three milleniums and we get almost never enough answers even though a lot of it is very enticing and interesting. Miyazaki went too hard huffing his own farts this time. This story and world was lessened in value byu the apparent lack of vision and offensive withholding of important CORE information. THE DLC TITLE IS ABOUT THE SCADUTREE AND WE GET -ZERO- LORE ON IT. IT'S A SYMBOL OF BETRAYAL AND ABANDONMENT AND IS BRITTLE NOW. WOWWWWEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE>>486917404Yeah but we don't have an answer at all for it so it can still go fuck itself. I'm done with it.
>>486917320I thought I was the only one.Yep. Game is now filled with cheaters. Some cheat program must have gotten a public release somewhere because the game is FILLED with actual Cheaters on PC now.Even worse, I can't protect myself like I did in Dark Souls 3 with Watchdog Mod.
>>486917776oh yeahhe should at least get an appeal
>>486917778It was a joke. Ironically, there is actually an icon that indicates whether summons are password summoned and therefore downscaled (implying). Guess who can see it?>the host>other summons>huntersGuess who can't see it? The only multiplayer party who would actually benefit from knowing whether a player is downscaled, invaders.
>>486917779Leaving extremely basic information out that probably any random NPC could give you their thoughts on is the most infuriating aspect of design in this game. Mysteries need context
>>486917995doesn't really matter to me since I do invasions in the 200s and don't give a shit
>>486917779>Every other game was more coherent and consistently planned. The lore wasn't too overcrowded and the majority of the elements within it were handled with respect and care.you are looking at it with rose-tinted glasses. they've always been like this, never explaining anything properly. just a few stupid item descriptions here and therehere's an example for you: in DS3, what the fuck is the deep? something aldrich discovered, and...?
>>486913803>>486914054>>486915219>>486915341Here's the Claymore speed from DS3. My god going back into this game after playing Elden Ring is shocking. DS3 feels so good and natural.

>>486914869>but when will they give me back my wifeTis a good weapon and is sorely missed.
>>486917320>But what the fuck is the point of EAC? This shit just causes lag and FPS issues and doesn't even protect you?u rike?Jap developers being utterly incompetent when it comes to anything related to multiplayer appears to be a running theme. Dark Souls 3 had the best anti-cheat the series has ever had in the form of a fucking mod that was practically required to use if you wanted to play online because malicious cheaters could literally softlock your save file and/or get you banned from online by injecting illegal items into your inventory. I'd bet money that more legitimate players got banned by From's atrocious anti-cheat in that game than actual cheaters. Fuck, that's probably the case in Elden Ring too. Whoever is in charge of their multiplayer networking needs to be fucking fired.
>>486918174>you are looking at it with rose-tinted glasses.No I'm not. There are virtually no important areas of Dark Souls lore that are left untouched or unanswered by the end of the Trilogy. Only Velka-cucks remained thirsty for answers pretty much. >>486918230One thing. Not a good argument.
>>486918435where are you getting these
>>486918205That's because Elden Ring recycles so many animations from DaS3 but just slightly retimes them.
>>486913803>>486914054 >>486914109 >>486914115 >>486914163 >>486914168 >>486915037 >>486918205>>486918435>>486914869>>486914356fuck all of you
>>486916624well shit. any chance someone can make a google doc?
>>486918174>in DS3, what the fuck is the deep?A calm super deep abyss. >something aldrich discovered, and...?See? You're just a lorelet and never understood the ones that were made well. The Abyss is a big ocean of raw "dark" and the "deep" is the bottom of it where it becomes tranquil and less dangerous and lots of little bugs and shit congregate [like a seafloor]Dark Souls was well handled because the scope was never over ambitious and Miyazaki wasn't collaborating.
>>486916624>i cant even find it anymoredid it get deleted already?

I'm gonna say it. DS3 was just better.
>>486918565way of the white
>>486918230Velka was always a minor background character in no particular need of further explanation.Now hypothetically, if we repeatedly encountered "Velka Apostles" who had some of the coolest spells and best theme music in the game, then it would make sense to want more details about who Velka was.
Anyway why was this statue surrounded by tentacle monsters what did Michael Zaki mean by this
>>486918174Can you tell me what the Shadowlands truly are, and how we got there, and what the shadow of the erdtree (the DLC's fucking name) is?I could tell you what Artorias of the Abyss was. I could tell you what Lordran was. Drangleic. Each DaS2 DLC. Lothric and both DaS3 DLCs, the areas were known and explained. There are elements (who the fuck are angels?) that aren't really and raise some big questions, but overall ER and SotE have chopped off way more than the usual Fromsoft formula did for context.
>>486918773>the "deep" is the bottom of it where it becomes tranquil and less dangerous and lots of little bugs and shit congregate [like a seafloor]literally headcanonprovide some proof (and by this I mean item descriptions, because that's where 95% of the lore is) for your argument
Tummy status?
I just can't get into replaying this game, once I'm past a certain point (limgrave and liurnia) the open world really just feels like a slog when I've discovered it from past playthroughs. How do you guys deal with it?
>>486919056I hate how this artist draws Miquella. He makes him look like a dwarf.
>>486913803>>486918435The speed of the curved greatswords also got butchered in Elden Ring. Here's the speed of the Murakumo in DS3. God I miss this baby.
>>486918951Some sort of basic bitch holy practice that remained popular for years. Didn't need more lore. Dark Souls games were small. >WotW is a religious practice that involves honor the Allfather Lloyd That's all we needed. Elden Ring has like 60 things like this. I made a Ravenmount Assassin build for the DLC and figured I'd get at least one new item or some lore.... I got none. That's just one example. Elden Ring's lore is SO dense and cluttered and virtually none of it gets good answers or followups or expansions in the DLC. The next world needs to be more focused. Not smaller, just don't clutter it was 3-4 possible millennia of history and multiple ruling pantheons of gods and shit.
>>486919236yeah I hate elden ring curved greatswords, they feel awful
>>486917681combining concepts found within the DLC like metyr and the talisman of all-crucibles implies through shared nomenclature the existence of a living "mother of crucibles" that was the source of the crucible aspects, but also distinct from whatever divine force the hornsent worshipped, as the all-crucible aspects that grew on the giants was different from the horns granted to the hornsent.my theory is that all of the different crucible aspects were different "children" of the OG crucible mother, each in a more refined, "evolved" form that only represented a specific aspect. horn crucible, flower crucible, knot crucible, etc. there is actually base game cut content that alludes to this idea via miranda, the maiden of the flower crucible, and progenitor of all miranda blooms.
>>486916624>>486917380So this is how watching the library of alexandra burn must have felt like
>WORRY NOT, MY FAIR PRINCESS, OH MY FAIR MAIDEN HOSTCLITTY.

I'm here to speak to the facts and the truth. >>486919409Less things remained vague in Dark Souls overall than have in Elden Ring and Mioyazaki said the same thing about more Elden Ring as he said about more Dark Souls when the 3 DLC hit so....
>>486919171pfbh
PLEASE don't fuck my sopping wet pussy tarnished-saaAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAN
>>486919397i heard ur jewish
>>486919397Get new material.
>>486919469Why is this an issue? I personally didn't like how fast DS3's weapon animations were, because it made the game feel less like an RPG and more like an action game inspired by Bloodborne.
>>486919508>No. I'm not here to prove to you that Dark Souls had less gaps.I accept your admission of defeat. have a nice day anon>Less things remained vague in Dark Souls overall than have in Elden Ringyou are comparing a smelly shit to a slightly less smelly shit. they're both vague and unfinished, and equally bad
>>486919409Dark Souls is unironically much less vague than Elden Ring. It has just as many dead-end lore bits and loose threads but does a much better job of distinguishing what's actually important to the world and what's just fluff.
>getting more connection errors after doing Seamless invasions all day yesterday and winning most of themI think people have been blocking me.
>>486915848A weapon that's thematic for a rock heart to use, so either something that makes me move like a dragon or something that highly compliments a naked dragon build
>>486919508>Less things remained vague in a game that is much smaller than Elden RingWell, yeah. It seems like you have a double standard.
>>486918832>>486917320Fucking lmao that literally just happened to me and my brother last night.We were in the Storehouse and he got teleported outside the map and put in a grab animation.Insane how common this is now...
>>486919598I don't think I will
>>486919347tying ymir's dialogue to a mother of crucibles instead of the literal mother of fingers, which he is himself trying to become, is the stretchiest stretch of stretches you could stretch. Everything he speaks of relates to Metyr and the Two Fingers and none of it the Crucible.
>>486918776No, it still exists, it just has a red lock next to it>>486917489Google Docs is probably next, once I figure out how to do the thing that anonymizes everyone
>>486919727because enemies in elden ring are way faster than in ds3
>>486918653>fuck all of youLook at this Elden Ring drone.
>>486919727Because wielding a sword like a retard is embarrassing to see, which is the problem with all the greatswords in all the games which lead to these webms being posted. Being faster is enough for some people.
>>486919938Not him but is it because invasions are way shittier now?
Dancing Lion no hit is making me crazy holy fuck
Okay, I’ve ruminated a bit on the crucible and want to present my thoughts.>a dragon is made up of aspects of serpents, lions, and birds. It has the head and tail of a serpent, wings of a bird, and the legs of a lion. The hornsent can be seen worshiping at least two of these aspects (lions and birds). But what of the serpent aspect? Could there be traces of serpent worship in hornsent culture? If the hornsent worshipped aspects of the crucible related to dragons, was the dragon seen as the ultimate form of the crucible?
>>486919938 Do you keep losing and can't get good videos?
>>486917776Miyazaki read some of the foot fics there and he decided he didn't like one. Bam, entire thing hit.
>>486917380i dont get it, are they expecting writefags to attach a "btw i hereby consent to my sloppa getting archived" to the end of all their posts? have these niggers never used 4chan before
>>486919915It's not a double standard. They could've given us more and chose not to. The Shadow Sunflower Blossom could've been a paragraph about Scadu lore. They chose to tell us to fuck ourselves. Imagine if we got the Dark Souls 2 DLCs and never got any actionable lore about the three lost kings of thre lost crowns trilogy?
>>486919727>Why is this an issue? I personally didn't like how fast DS3's weapon animations were, because it made the game feel less like an RPG and more like an action game inspired by Bloodborne.Elden Ring's combat is a downgrade and if you want a RPG go and play a Square Enix game.

>>486919960no they aren't, you just think they are.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LjylpjPY3us
>>486919347See my rumination post that I typed before seeing your post:>>486920156Could the mother of crucibles be a dragon?
>>486919759Elden Ring makes literally everything a fucking question. Marika's motives are still completely unknown. No one can give you an actual fucking answer. There's like 8 types of death and fire and they're all bad and different and who fucking knows anything about any of them. Even the most developed ending thread, Ranni's, is so god damn fucking vague and speculative with nothing to even truly imagine of the next order. Every Souls game it was a simple affair to imagine where the endings lead. We knew what Gwyn wanted, etc.
>>486919727They're all technically action rpgs. There is some balance to both aspects but as things go on it leans a bit more action.
>>486920271>have these niggers never used 4chan before>Fanfic site admins>Use 4chanAnon, I.....
>>486920453players like this make me want to hack, just to make them miserable
>>486920350>Elden Ring's combat is a downgradeFrom what? R1 and roll: the game? R1 and circle strafe: the game?
>>486920507Yeah?
>>486919350kek
>>486920479Its hard to understand another person's motives truly. Even they could be lying to you, even Gwyn could've had many different motives for what he did, like the glory of a continuing dynasty or fixation on hatred for humans or wanting his progeny to continue and prosper.
>>486920507this site is much more mainstream than you might think
>>486919938The Based Department needs you to get onto Seamless and show these hostclitties that their safe space isn't safe anymore.
>>486920479Welcome to real life
>>486920604>Multiple posts and webms about the downgrade in weapon speed>Dumbass then asks "From what?"There comes a point where playing ignorant to the facts is just spam.
>>486919940it's called extrapolation anon. the game has a strong driving theme of parental and familial relationships, and the DLC doubles down on that theme to make it a central driving story beat. that we have been introduced to multiple "mother of ____" entities, one of which we fight in the flesh, it's short-sighted to assume that the mother of crucibles would be the one that isn't alive and didn't bare any children, doubly so when it's an explicit lore point that the crucible of life is considered to be the source of all life in the lands between.
>>486920764>everyone could just be lyingyeah okay but in reality it's a pretty straightforward divide and the most esoteric of Souls endings was merely distinguishing between Usurpation of Fire/Lord of Hollows vs End of Fire vs DS1 Dark Lord, but it really doesn't matter because the overall themes are clear, the motives were no so esoteric, and most of the actors and everything in the world was simply more straightforward and directly explained.
>>486920990Again, why is it better that it's faster? I seem to remember everyone salivating over the "deliberate", "weighty" weapon animations of DS1 and even DS2 (despite its shit animation quality). Just as I remember people mocking DS3 when it came out for being an abominable chimera of Dark Souls and Bloodborne, a weird action game that was both and neither of its influences.Historical revisionism is a trip.
>>486919868beast claws imo
>>486920592just give yourself a curse dagger or something
Ayoooooo this gameplay POPPIN' bro
>>486921241>I seem to remember everyone salivating over the "deliberate", "weighty" weapon animationsBeing the loudest doesn't mean everyone.Anyway, I ain't interested in discussing this with you because you're just trolling to waste my time.
>>486920867Real history is easier to uncover than Elden Ring history actually
>>486921241I replayed DS1 a few months ago and it shocked me how easy and slow the whole game was
>>486904464That's not how it works because we could physically go to the roots in the base game already.
>>486920271The message literally says they received a complaint, anon. This is a generic, automated warning, which almost certainly means a DMCA claim was filed against that work.
>>486902280>melina was messmer's sisterIf she was one of the oldest demigods, why was she struck from history and had her body burnt to ash?
>>486920465honestly I think the mother is either silver itself, or the entity that silver came from. the albinauric blue silver set says "Blue silver is a metal born from the same mother as the archers themselves, and provides protection from magic and frost. " and the text dump has unused text referring to the set as being made from "motherly silver" (see pic)my headcanon is that the fatherly gold of the greater will joined with the motherly silver of the crucible, and that relationship is what bore life.
>>486916624>>486917380i don't get it...why only now...
Monkey's paw>get rid of Mohg x Miquella fanart fags>gain Miquella x Radahn fanart fags
>>486921693nothing says she's one of the oldest demigods, every demigod is related to every other demigod. what little we know of her implies she was born very late with an explicit purpose tied to marika's plan of burning the erdtree.
>but the enemies in Elden Ring are anime fast!>the weapons NEED to be fast!>they're playing Sekiro-Borne on crack while we're playing Dark Souls 1! [unzips L2 and deletes the boss's HP bar]>you definitely can't get off fully charged R2s against bosses, even Radahn! after his slash, double slash, overhead slash, shock wave string, or his bloodflame attack, or his command grab, or his 5-hit telegraphed combo in phase 2, or his gravity drill, or...>>486921485It's comically slow and easy, but that's not a bad thing. It's just a different experience. You can sleepwalk through DeS, DS1, DS2, and a good portion of DS3 and Bloodborne.>>486922062I'll accept the latter because it also produced a lot of seething Miquella fanboys.
What are you supposed to do against people who spam sleep arrows in the arena? It feels impossible to hit them and even when I dodge the arrows I still get sleep build up.

>>486921693
I want the next from game to offer "spells" attached to weapons/catalysts, no colossal weapons, instead a built in mainhand & sidearm set up like in Bloodborne. Focused on colonial era/1700-1800's fairytales. Lots of blackpowder & sabres. Witches & gingerbread & blood

>>486922323Okay, give me a minute
>fsg webmyawn
>>486922143>It's comically slow and easy, but that's not a bad thing. It's just a different experience.speak for yourself. DS3, bloodborne, skeiro, and ER have ruined DS1 and 2 for me

>>486922319Never going to happen, so what cheese can I use to shit on sleep spammers?
>>486922371she was born under the erdtree with the explicit purpose of burning it. the only time marika would have even considered doing this was when she had created said plan, so at the OLDEST melina is younger than ranni/rykard/radahn.
>Miquellafags completely take over >literal shota porn being posted>"stop watching porn" posters completely silentStrange. Almost as if... Hmmm...
>>486920592i remember back in the ds3 days some guy teleported me to the beginning of the game because i beat him lol>>486922170be gay and use 2 hand thrusting sword or 2 greatspearsthough most of the time they're lazy and boring so i just nagakiba them instead

>>486922101>>486922371Her being implied as being messmers sister makes people think she was born around the same time as him and messmer is older than at least one of the carian kids so he was born during godfrey's reign>item descriptions in the base game says marika's kids with godfrey are the oldest>item descriptions in the dlc says messmer "was like an older brother" to radahn, meaning while not his full brother(shares both parents) he was still older than radahnMeaning messmer predating at least radahn, and is the product of some sort of affair between marika and radagon, as, godfrey was elden lord and already had kids with marika by the time messmer was conceived>messmer shares the red-hair and butterfly association with the rest of radagon and marika's kids.>>486922851This is true. She formed the plan at least shortly before she banished godfrey as she banished him with the entire intention of him coming back when she called upon him and his men

>>486923307Cute.
>>486922143>WebmAll you are doing is showing that Elden Ring's difficulty is no different than memorizing a book word for word.

>>486904470The whole Shadow Realm map jigsaws right into the missing middle of the main maim that is just ocean now.The Suppression Tower plaque says that it is the center of the Lands Between. The suppression tower is likely the source of the spell that suppresses the center landmass into the Erdtree's shadow. It's where Marika puts all the shit she wants gone or hidden, like the Hornsent, Messmer and the Divine Gate.
Nosebleed
>>486923537Did that blue have 1500 HP, how the fuck
>>486923307>>486923404>biggest aeonia topsDo you guys really want this?
>>486923703Dark Souls 1 twinking was pure cancer. Most of the players doing it were there to fuck up your file by closing off hard earned shortcuts, killing NPCs, or permanently destroying your equipment, and there was nothing you could do as you were dealing less than 3% damage per hit on them. It was not a good time.
Tried invading today. The decent players washed me but I beat most of the retards and viglets. Still doesn't feel like I earned it.
>>486923678Given the levels of the players there and your weapon choice, I'm going to assume you're something like 54 STR 60+ Arcane? If so, why not make the weapon Heavy? It's still better as Heavy even if you had 80 Arcane.
>>486923703In Dark Souls 1 it was just stupid. There's no practical difference between a cheater and an invader who can one-shot you while taking a negligible amount of damage. They struck a good balance between host and invader power in Dark Souls 3, but then went full retard in Elden Ring because that wasn't good enough apparently.
>>486923809I've yet to see a map aligned in a way that actually fits so cleanly without utter insanity going on like layering shit under and around Leyndell etc. I believe it's not intended to be 1:1 with the other game world myself.> It's where Marika puts all the shit she wants gone or hidden, like the Hornsent, Messmer and the Divine Gate.We know she's keeping the veil over it, or at least was the one who established it, but we don't really know that she's the one directing death to it or if that's some natural consequence of the land or whatever the fuck.
>>486923669Cope with what, another boss script that I have to learn with repeated attempts just to delude myself into thinking I'm skilled when I stop getting hit.
>>486923703>>486923945I remember being like 12 on Xbox 360 ds1 back on the day doing a sl1 run just so i could invade in the undead burg and black flame hosts to 1 shot them and collect hatemail. I miss those days man. But I know I'm part of why Invasions are so one sided for hosts now
>>486923945>mage who gained a single level>dusk crown>demon firesage staff>DLC magic>kills every player he can invade in one hitThe DS1 experience.
>>486924015PvP in this game is dogshit, plain and simple

Anyone else think it's hilarious how alcohol falls under the rot god's domain?
devoina hammer big dissapointment having same ashas orfdivs very siully
>>486924245I beat Margit on my first try on my first playthrough of the game. You can beat bosses without learning their movesets 100%, except perhaps some of the DLC bosses like Radahn or Messmer). You're just bad at the game. It's not hard. It just requires preparation and observation, a lot like Dark Souls.
>>486924327>Don't want to deal with DS1 twinks>Play offline>Comfy mode
>>486924461People are already trying to gank in Renalla's chamber by summoning spirit ashes lmao.
>>486924494Yet another reasons why Malenia would hate being its empyrean.
Is there any reason to use Scholar's Armament over Magic infusion if int is my primary stat? I'm guessing armament is just a way for people to get bonus magic damage on non-int builds?
>>486924058>>486924479that's actually really weird, you wouldn't expect it to be better in str even while occult has a C in str and B in arc
>>486923920As if invading upward wasn't enough, summons can daisy chain the upward invasion range.>level 20 can invade up to 42>level 42 can summon up to 56Pre-DLC, if you invaded at level 20 you could end up fighting someone with 2,059 HP with a Vagabond start.
>I shall remember thee, Tarnished>Smould'ring with thy meagre flame
>>486924015Invading in Elden Ring is the worst invading has ever been. Given the clear advantages hosts have, a decent team will always kill you unless you get lucky or they have one glaring fault you can exploit (i.e. retarded viglets or fat rolling etc.) Just watch the most meta slave youtubers stream. Anytime they come up against a team that aren't braindead retarded, they die instantly. And even then, they struggle against retards and have to rely on their cheated consumables or constant weapon switching and ash spamming to do anything at all. Hell, you can watch the less meta slavey players like Oro who have been invading since DaS1 days and see how much they get shit on constantly.When I invade, I usually only do it on some meme one-shot build or some meme RP build to do silly shit. Trying to play something more basic like STR is just asking to get shit on by anyone with half a braincell. And being forced to sweat hard even against PVE shitters is embarrassing.I'm honestly surprised people take this shit so seriously when the PVP in this game is utterly dreadfully bad.
>>486924494Wait, what?Why didn’t they make a cured/unafflicted Malenia as Miquella’s consort?
>>486923307>comparing who can throw out the most moons with ranni>comparing who's aeonia is higher with malenia >comparing how many rats you can eat with rya>comparing how much wind you can generate with nepheli>comparing how many spells you know with sellen>comparing how many people you've killed for miquella with leda
>>486924681Seriously what the fuck is wrong with gankers they're far more mentally ill than the niggerest of invaders
>>486921639Who would file a DMCA against some writefagging on a fanfic site though? Its not like scribeanon was uploading the full ER lorebook on there. If fanfics = copyright stirke then all fanfic sites would be dead

>>486924418Yeah.>invade abyssal>kill phantom, host runs away, summons hunter>kill hunter>another hunter jumps me and I dieI ignored the second prompt not realizing it was a second hunter. Also got gangbanged in a catacomb by a sleep shotgun. Thanks for reading my blog.

>>486922891>literal shota porn being postedwhere
>>486924739There is different levels of scaling even if something says "A" it's not the same as another weapon that says A. The Sword Lance is closer to a Great Weapon. It's A is closer to S. Still, given the combo potential and it's high bleed, I still think it'd be better as Bleed over Heavy.
>>486924509>I beat Margit on my first try on my first playthrough of the gameAnd yet you showed a clip of your knowledge check because of repeated playthroughs. You don't have an argument when it comes to scripted boss patterns being nothing more than learning a book word for word and you know it.>You're just bad at the game. It's not hard.I've beaten the game twice and the DLC once without playing online or watching any playthroughs before completion like I always do with Fromsoft games. All you're doing is projecting because you're a sensitive little boy over anyone criticizing Elden Ring.
>>486924848A huge part of the problem for me is that so many fucking areas are just bonfires next to boss fogs/a short jog away with no enemies to it. So many fucking places you invade and the host was just summoning guys at the fog to fight it. They either effortlessly gank you or walk through it and it all wastes your time. They need to change this fucking design, it's just garbage. If I'm invading I want to actually invade people going through levels, but so much design in ER gives you the checkpoint right at the boss so you never have to repeat or have any kind of run through of anything. Maybe a fifth of my invasions are someone actually going through somewhere.
>>486914595It's shadowkeep. The red gem at the top is messmer.
>>486924860Because and I'm not joking here according to cut content malenia was meant to be our consort if we sided with miquella
Why even have eternal sleep when almost everything is either immune to it or requires so much of it that they just die before it can proc?
What stats should I use for Spear of the Impaler?It scales better with Dex, but Faith affects the fire damage, meaning a good part of the weapon art. So, I don't know.
>>486923945>invading Cathedral Ward>take my time running through the place closing off every single gate in the area>track down host afterwards>kill him in one hit with sharpy spike wheel (he was already weakened and probably out of vials)>get some crybaby hatemail>invade another wolrd's Cathedral Ward>repeatGood times. I wish ER allowed invaders to do fun shit like this. I kill you, you just respawn and get your souls back a minute later. When I close off shortcuts and set you back half an hour of progress, I have imprinted myself upon your game experience, like I've fucked you in an alley. ER is missing that.
>>486925472LE LORE
I don't understand why the rot is vomit puke everywhere else but on Malenia it's flowers, butterflies, and giant beautiful glowing blooms.

>>486924860>>486925462Yup. All the empyreans were meant to be options originally, and Millicent was supposed to literally be Malenia with amnesia.
>>486925575There are butterflies and blossoms in all the other rot areas to one degree or another.

>>486925632the "REEE YOU DIDNT HAVE PERMISSION" shit is a smokescreen, the real issue is some faggot ordered a copystrike, most likely because of the song edits that probably caused some Sony exec jew somewhere to piss himself in rage
>>486925462>every single ending of this game involves you getting married to a woman either marika or ranni becoming their consort >dlc cut ending was siding with miquella and getting malenia as your consort despite neither of you bring god or elden lord of the age respectively >the only ending you DONT get married in is the ending where you side with a fire that wants to destroy everything and who's voice is named after a jewish demonWhat did miyazaki mean by this?
>>486925782Fromsoft is a mess and literally changing things days before release it's a miracle their games work at all
>>486925528I made a 150 build using it with 40 Dex 60 Faith.
>>486924848Yeah I can't pull off all of that. Only menuing I can do is keeping my first slot empty and toggling a weapon there, and I fuck that up too. Hacked consumables feel wrong also, at least starlight shards. I think this should be treated as a party game like smash.
>before DLC>1/10 characters use a greatshield>after DLC>4/10 characters use a greatshield + 1 Carian Thrusting ShieldI suck at this game
Why are builds that mix with fire so sparse lorewise? We have fucking death/lightning mixes and ice/lightning/storm now. Why are the only mixes with fire just Bayle (with lightning) and Relanna (with magic)? Just two people?
>>486925462>>486925748>>486925782>>486926009Don't forget guys the putrecent knight was original named "night of the gloam eyed queen" you can even see how it's blue fire was meant to be blackflame and was lazily changed. It's likely they changed it after they merged the too dlc. It's likely the cut side with miquella ending was a casualty of the cut dlc too. More gloam eyed queen more died because of that choice and so did siding with miquella
>>486925762Just looks like rotted meat and coral. There are some "flowers" but it's like giant buds with spikes and shit. Not like Malenia's rot. Is it because of the Haligtree? I just thought of that.
ENDURE
Nothing feels better than dismantling a gank and killing the host before he can summon his buttbuddies back in. Man, fuck these people.
>>486926208nothing to be ashamed of anon
>>486926009godwyncel cope
>>486925989Imagine how much more fan art if we had an ending with Blaidd/Ranni doing the Age of Stars, Miquella/Malenia doing an Age of the Halig, Marika for Age of Fracture/Age of Fel Omen, Fia/D(?) doing Age of Death, & unmarried for Goldmask's Perfect Order/Frenzied FlameBasically you'd have a male & female choice for any marriage ending
>>486926383VGH.....KINO....
>>486925181"Scripted boss patterns" is a reductive, pedantic way of referring to how FromSoft has always designed bosses: by contextually selecting moves based on the player character's actions and position relative to the boss. The rules of the game have barely changed.Bosses use projectiles and try to close the distance when the player character uses items or projectile attacks when far away. Bosses select their attacks based on their distance from the player, and almost all of these attacks are telegraphed with an animation that can be identified and reacted to after being seen once or twice. Bosses decide to stop or continue their attack chains depending on the player's position. You do not need to memorize every single thing a boss does in order to beat them. All you need to do is find one or two attacks that you are confident you can safely react to and punish, or alternatively find a way to initiate aggression that is either sufficiently safe or a winning trade. For example, jumping in against Rellana with a jumping R2 and not pressing a button to low profile half of her attacks is actually incredibly safe and enough for many players to beat the fight without memorizing her moveset, and this is easy to realize because many players spam jumping R2.Nothing has changed significantly, the system has simply been refined to be faster-paced and, in Elden Ring's case, rebalanced around the stance break system (as Bloodborne's was rebalanced around the rally system, and Sekiro's around its own, more specific stance break system). I haven't even watched more than 5 minutes of this video, but I guarantee it does a better job of explaining why the arguments about Elden Ring being either "too difficult" or "rote memorization" are fallacious.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9ZLQCRs3WVQNow fuck off.
>>486926189Unfortunately, you and I are in the minority. I don't like cheated consumables either, but every second person I invade has them. Using Starlight Shards like candy or throwing Hefty Rot Pots at me, and of course, I struggle to cleanse it because Rot Boluses cannot be bought and farming them is pure cancer and of course trying to cleanse it using Flame Cleanse Me is so incredibly slow, you can only use it once you're out of range otherwise you're inviting yourself to get shit on.I barely invade these days because of how fucked it is.
>>486925661I really don't mind it even though I hate it in the base game. The Erdtree Avatar's golden land attack is the same thing essentially: you have to stop playing the game and strafe at a distance, and there's no other way to deal with it as far as I know. But Radahn's (and Midra's, for that matter) big "run away" moves feel way shorter to me. Or maybe I'm just glad to get a break from Radahn kicking my ass for 10 seconds.
why did they do it
only thing i hate is when bosses don't do their phase change move on time or a scripted move gets delayed so you gotta move back some for radahn to jump for his triple meteor attack consistently.prob doesn't do it if you don't R2 or something idk.
>>486924848I've been invading at 200 on seamless for the last couple days and it's nothing like that, most of the hosts are terrible and do not shit on invaders constantlyI get occasional ganks with greatsword of damnations or bleed backhand blades, but pretty rarely
Is a Fth first Arc second dragon build viable? There's a whole lot more cool fth weapons than arc...

>>486926963The bigger the retard, the bigger the pill they need to swallow
Still have not recovered from gaining the knowledge that a tiny hammer weapon does more stance damage with Lion's Claw than any colossal sword.
>>486926528Within the first hour of ER's release, multiple items got their descriptions altered because From still wasn't finished trying to make a consistent story.
>>486923170Messmer and Melina are born before Godfrey is Lord. Then Godwyn is her firstborn with Godfrey.
>>486926838Yeah erdtree golden land sucks ass too, same with elden stars. If the "correct" way to dodge an attack is to run away for 10+ seconds it shouldn't be in the game. Also if you want to take a breather just break the boss poise and land a crit, conveniently the stupid run away moves let the boss reset their poise so its really just cucking you out of playing the game and getting a break.
>>486926643I might make an exception for rot boluses if I get fed up. At least they're actually farmable.
>>486926357You can find the Aeonian butterflies around all the rot places, and Caelid has a lot of prettier buds blooming on some of the growth if you look around.
I know that Ranni was a pure frost caster build, but I still would have liked a boss battle with her prime demigoddess form playing out like lady Maria with magic spam. It would have been a callback to the other doll from BB as well.
>>486926532>tarnished could've married blaiddI'm normally not into furry guys but I wanted him to impregnate me so badly

>>486926962minimum fth for spell requirements then max arc for damage
This axe is nuts on everything except Radahn where it doesn't do much damage at all for some reason.This is the polar opposite scenario though.
>>486926591>"Scripted boss patterns" is a reductive, pedantic way of referring to how FromSoft has always designed bossesGod you're so full of shit. Fromsoft has for the most part done reactive boss patterns until Elden Ring. Many people have been commenting on bosses like Romina for being more traditional with telegraphed moves. That is evidence in itself.
>>486922543hey that's my post. also my webm, which is not associated with any general in particular, it's mine.i checked in on enb and there's no way he's getting to the DLC. it doesn't matter anyway because he's already decided he dislikes it, in his own words.
>>486926962yes but it's suboptimal for casting
>>486925575The more you suppress it the uglier it gets.
>>486927196Ranni traces her descent from Fool's Idol, so her boss fight would play homage to that if it existed.
>>486927284>Romina for being more traditional with telegraphed movesIronically she can just do that butterfly storm and get frame 1 chip damage in a very big area if you aren't careful. Everything else is slow, Messmer is more telegraphed though.
I think DaS2 made a lot of annoying mistakesBut being able to infuse and buff weapons that already infused with an element was kino and should come back
>>486927415ranni is just a shitty mary sue>>486927284am i bad if i thought romina and midra were the best boss fights in the dlc if not elden ring full stop
>>486927196The same reason you can't fight marika(not radagon) is the same reason you can't fight ranni. They're your intended wives, miyazaki refuses and cuts any potential endings where you could marry anyone else. You're not black or Italian or Irish. You don't beat your spouse(s)
Can anyone help me understand why Midra is objectively the best boss Fromsoftware has ever made?
>Moore>sad and pathetic personality>has the build of a metaslop poiseblob cheater>best routes for you to take with him are to tell him to kill himself or never interactI think from was trying to tell us something
I will be cheating deflect tear onto every character from the start from now on.
>>486908127PPFFFFFFFTHHHHHHBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBLBLBLBLLBBBBBBBBB!
>>486927563But Malenia/Millicent and Miquella were originally wives as well, and we fight them.
why does Ranni say we sullied her name in ainsel river
>>486927210Yeah, Blaidd is a strong enough character to not make me think off him as a furry. Plus I figured a LOT of people would've wanted to fuck him.
Been thinking of starting a more roleplay heavy run of elden ring, but i havent developed a ruleset to encourage more of a roleplaying style of gameplaySome of the current ideas>Have to eat at least every other day/night cycle, anything is pretty fine>Minimizing chance of death when it would be painful for my character>Can only run past enemies if it would make sense to do so (say, a bunch of sleeping overworld knights or stealthing trough a room with slow walking and going behind backs)>Crafting and cheese encouraged as long as it isnt some AI exploit like with O'NeilAlready beat the game twice (once as my first save, a second time as RL1 Claymore only, have never summoned) but i dont know what attitude i should take around summons or changing weapons around (ideally making a rule that makes sense in universe to not just go ranged or poise abuse with one weapon that i find too good)
>>486927284>1 line non-argument that addresses nothing in the posti'm accepting your concession as a third partysorry you got filtered by the video game, bye
>>486924848Invading was worst in Dark Souls 1, because the buggy and terribly implemented networking system meant you spent hours of downtime just sitting around searching in a dead world instead of actually playing the game.2nd worse is Bloodborne, because it decided to reuse DaS1's broken system instead of the working one DaS2 had and that meant assloads of downtime and connection issues, on top of limiting you to targeting coop squads most of the timeElden Ring's invasions are nowhere near as bad as those. It's basically just DaS3 invasions but now with integrated wex dust, and in a lot of ways it's easier to beat a gank in Elden Ring than it was in DaS3.
>>486927657>has the build of a metaslop poiseblob cheaterhe's not what his armour makes you thinkhe's a kindred of rot under all that
>>486925823>>486926108Yeah I may try that I guess.I'm running 80 dex and 20 faith just for buffs and healing, but I may switch and try incantations, since I never really use them.Any other weapons that would be good with 40 dex and 60 faith?
>>486927548>am i bad if i thought romina and midra were the best boss fights in the dlc if not elden ring full stopNo, you simply enjoy the telegraphed bosses that you can react to. They feel fair because when you get hit you know it's your fault.
Are there any weapons worth taking my STR/ARC guy past 14 DEX for?
>>486927548No, they're really good.Romina is kinda just there though while Midra and Messmer have way better presentation so they're better.
>>486916624OH NO NO NO NO WE GOT TOO COCKY WRITESISTERS
>>486927636No cause Bayle is. Midra & his Spook forest just felt like cut BB material
>>486927861>he's a filthy bugman under all that armourit's on the nose at this point
>>486927950>cutmore like reused, there were winter lanterns in bloodborne and here they are in elden ring with the exact same name
>>486927415What's ironic is ranni is clearly one of miyazaki's OCs. Remember that he didn't full on direct demons souls? He fell for the fools idol meme too. He ruined the dlc because he couldn't stop simping for carians he had to throw in his edgy fanfic yumejo self insert bait character rellana and radahn as the final boss as he's said he is one of his favorite bosses and the cenus taken from japan shows that they like radahn the most too. I fucking hate mooncoons and their simps so fucking much the legacy of the game now is just simping for marika, simping for ranni, "carian girls are so lovesick xddd", gay pedophile porn, femboy rape, being horny for messmer and either hating rellana out of jealousy or self inserting at her, and memeing about how malenia is a fujoshi
>>486916624That's so dumb, I literally wrote some of the stuff in there with the expectation that it's for yhe collectiong/would be added
>>486928032>gay pedophile porn, femboy rapedon't forget the incestbut at least that's realistic for royal families
>>486927714Originally yes. And he changed that as he didn't want them as wives. He made sure to keep it so, while you have characters that simp for you, you only have 2 options for wives because he's a fucking piece of shit yellow jew I fucking hate that mooncoon lover so much its unreal
>>486927882I wish I could say Ghiza's Wheel...

>>486927847>i'm accepting your concession as a third party>sorry you got filtered by the video game, byeYou've been told a billion times already that scripted boss patterns as difficulty is shit. You simply love eating shit and have a tantrum when someone tells you that they don't.
>>486928032I'm going to start posting marika and miquella lewds to make you angrier
>>486927714Let's be honest, if Millicent = Malenia and Malenia were an option after you beat some sense into her, she'd have been the most popular girl by far.
>>486928443>imageoh, you're just a subhuman coomerjust off yourself lmao

>>486928927oh, definitely true. i just give it a pass because i love bloodborne, but they really could've done more than just crazy rats for every enemy lol
>>486929042Did you remember to bring all your cheated consumables and 30+ different ash of war stick if you run into a group who knows what they're doing or at the very least, has two brain cells to put together?
>>486929172yeah i'll never get caught without them
>>486928349Like I said, I haven't watched this video in particular, but I did listen to much more of https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EZ_9F73R1tE that I thought I would and he checks a lot of boxes>calls Reddit retarded>calls Joseph Anderson retarded>calls FextraLife a cancer on the communityand a lot of common sense takes about how Elden Ring bosses are designed and how you, the player, can easily engage with these design principles to avoid falling for dumb misconceptions that are spread like a disease. I expected to click and click off of it in less than a minute like I do most long videos like this.
>>486929224Good luck then, anon. I give you a 10% chance of victory assuming they're not braindead retarded.
>>486929078The whole area could have done more. It seems spooky and cool at first but most of the madness region is just empty and there are maybe 3 things to even find outside of the mansion itself.
>>486927809I would say pick a spirit ash that goes with your character and stick with it. Like if youre RPing as a nox or sellian, you have the nox puppets, or if youre a mage you can use some of the sorceror ashes. As for weapons just base it around your characters backstory, a knight type would use swords of all sizes, a barbarian could use greathammers and colossals. You can go more in depth with the roleplay and be like oh he sleeps with his sword every night and thats why he refuses to use anything else or whatever. Another idea is using sets of weapons that fit together thematically, like curved swords + curved greatswords or longswords + greatswords + colossal swords.
>>486928217Thats goes without saying for any r/erg/ular writefag but in this case its pretty obvious some tumblr SJW fanfictranny type saw the disclaimer about it being collected from random anons and got offended
>>486929029white as the driven snow. imagine having off-model sfm porn slop saved to your hard drive. you must need to jerk off, you're getting uppity.
so is nu-radahn's cock just mohg's cock, or did miquella find radahn's corpse's cock and use that? or use magic to make a new one?
>>486929542You still eat shit like a pajeet, that's what all your arguments are about.Scripted boss patterns as difficulty = Eating cow shit.
>>486929078Imagine if it was bloodborne, the manse is filled with rats (the woods would have other monsters) & some parts are claustrophobic parts where your moving between the walls (an homage to Rats in the Walls btw) you maybe find a brainsucker & a few other enemies, you get to climb the roof top, & you find the Nanaya wandering around outside Midra's boss room cradling her baby's corpse/the madness torch, which she uses against you. You kill her, take the torch, & fight Midra. Classic From level design. Atmospheric encounters. It would've been perfect. You could place it outside of Yharnam or it's equivalent & it's be fine

Are there any good controllers to play on PC that aren't 70+ bucks or do I have to just bite the bullet? The old PS4 one I was using broke when I was like 70% through exploring the DLC.
>>486927809>>486929480something that can help, or at least helps me in roleplaying runs, it to have different arcs for the character where their goals change or their outfit or gameplayi started off a character with the intention of them wanting to be a cleanrot knight, so most of the early game was spent building to that goal, getting rot breath, antspur, etc. getting the cleanrot set and then once i feel the character is established and has accomplished that goal, moving on to the next goal which feels appropriate. for that character, they went on to seek out the haligtree so they could meet malenia, and once they did they bested her in battle and decided to take her place as guard of miquella and so followed him into the dreamworld. during that stint, i leveled up faith more and worked more incantations in and dropped rot breath for aeonia, but still stuck with the antspur because it and the brass shield go well together and are reminiscent of the cleanrot set even when paired with other sets, and then after defeating miquella finished the game with the golden order ending as that felt like the appropriate choice that would align most with miquella's choice (insofar as miquella and goldmask realized the golden order was flawed due to human nature), finishing the game with strong fth magic, decent dex weapon handling, and rot based spells (aeonia and pest threads/spears). if you stick to a single concept the entire playthrough it can get old quick, so let yourself be flexible within the rules you set up for yourself outside of the beginning, and let the character grow in whatever way feels natural>>486930808>having a consort without a cockwhat the fuck>>486930421would've loved that

>>486931092just use a mouse and keyboard, it's perfectly fine
>>486929234I watched it and he's right, it's kinda how I approach bosses myself (Except Radahn the first time I fought because I got tired of it and I just powered through the second phase at random) and it's funny how he calls out Peeve, Oro and Scottjund for being retarded back in the DS3 days and saying gankers were impossible to beat and praises Saint for going against that, it's doubly funny because that retarded fuck Peeve has been fighting Radahn for 80 hours and he still is unable to dodge all of his attacks because he never experimented and never changes his approach
>>486930447ideally you skip ensis, rauh and especially the bayle cave to not get awful spawnseverything else is okbelurat has a tree you spawn into and cant move but the area is fun to invade

>>486930927You're a dumbass to think I'm projecting when the anon admits to eating shit (read >>486926591). Calling scripted boss pattern as difficulty the equivalent of eating cow shit is not projection and makes no sense to do so.

>>486931753second floor of red wolf boss fight
>>486931114He has a vagina so he can impregnate radahn. Mohg was never a guy he was a big black horned woman. If anything to go by, melina and messmer were twins, malenia and miquella were definitely twins. When people have twins they usually share the same sex distribution pattern so if they have multiple sets of twins they're more likely to be the same sex as the previous, and the previous twins were all male and female not two males or two females. This means for the omen twins one would have to be female. Morgott calls himself male but mohg never does, people just call her male because, due to her omen form, she looks like an ogre, she just doesn't give enough of a fuck to correct them. This is also how he planned on making a dynasty with miquella. Note how he names it mohgwyn, elden ring is very matriarchal, the dynasties are named after or associated with the female not the male hell he even serves a female goddess. This all means that radahn's new body is that of a female, miquella intentionally chose mohg due to her large frame capable of hosting radahns soul allowing him to fight to his full capabilities and look similar to how he did before he nigged out from spamming gravity magic for too long. Consort radahn has a man's soul and woman body. That's where all of the cuntboy radahn fanart comes from. He's was quite literally handcrafted by miquella to be his husband and bear his children.

Hi guys, new to Elden Ring and I'm playing Reforged. Is it viable to have a character that plays with sword but also shoots magic?How would I go about it, dex / int or dex / faith?I'm playing my OC (Pic related) so I guess I want her to be like a bloodborne boss or something.
>i hate the game im gonna slam my head into the wall for 100 hours even though its a chore to meyou problem'
>>486927237i think a lot of the stuff in this game is weak to holyis that axe holy? or lightning
>>486930870>Nothing changedYeah we know lol
>>486931092I played Sekiro on a $20 switch controller but generally I don't see any need to use a controller for these games.
the general problem with sote bosses is a combination of1. very high damage2. very long strings and very high number of moves in general3. unreadable animations4. inconsistent rules5. long and contrived dodge patterns required to dodge some anime sequences6. the most appalling moves are locked behind phase 2 or low health requirements or just rarea lot of people aren't enjoying the bosses because you just have to die a million times to figure out when each attack needs to be dodged or if its going to track you horizontally and/or vertically or lunge across half the arena. and for a select few retarded sequences, just rolling isn't enough but the animations don't make it clear at all how you are supposed to dodge it an everyone has to work together on twitter until someone stumbles upon the correct magic sequences of sprinting, jumps, strafing, etc. a lot of people don't jump because the animations don't tell you what can be jumped. i started jumping on rellana when i figured out her thrust didn't track vertically but i stopped jumping on later bosses because some boss had a thrusting move that apparently tracked vertically. inconsistent rules are especially apparent in all the anime magic aoes. some can be jumped, some can't. some can't even be iframed, but others can. its learning is going to require trial and error, then damage needs to be lower. its not enjoyable to just die to everything and refight phase 1 a million times.
>>486932447cool drawingclosest to that would probably be a dex/arc/int build honestly, focusing on blood weapons and the more space-y spells
>>486932156Because int/fth would open up most of the elemental infusions for you, and if you're gonna do that you could also mess around with incantations and sorceries.You dildo.
>>486932560This is just my personal taste, but I find controllers much more comfy for these kinds of games.
>>486932615>a lot of people aren't enjoying the bosses because you just have to die a million times to figure out when each attack needs to be dodgedi seriously do not understand the issue people are havingjust summon an ash and it helps the fight become manageable if you find it too challenging to do one on one
>>486932643The hand to hand weapons have terrible caster-stat scaling even with the appropriate infusions for those, though.
>>486932802if the only options are cheese the game or just be forced to die a bunch with nothing you can do about it until you've seen every move, then maybe the game is just poorly designed
boss of rauh ruins is some random rot bitch and the divine beast bird
>>486931784>>486931953IF this is true I don't think radahnfans could ever recover? I'm seriously getting depressed right now
>>486932826Look man I'm just spitballing here.
>>486932615use the fucking crab and dragoncrest talisman and the physique and put on some armor>my character cant eat crab cause im roleplaying a jewbiTch i dont care!!!!!!!!
>make Faith / Int Spells and Incants>don't make a faith / int infusion>make Faith / Arcane spells and incants>don't have a faith / arcane infusion>make Int / Arcane spells and incants>don't make a int / Arcane infusionWhat the fuck are these fucking stupid fucking nips doing?
>>486932928>and NOT* the divine beast bird
>>486932917that's not even cheese, spirit ashes have always been something they intend for people to be using for a lot of encounters, even some mini bosses
>>486932035Just hack next time.
>>486932932radahnfags could never ever recover from this
>>486931370>he never experimented and never changes his approachpeople dont' like experimenting because the game instantly kills you for it and you have to start the boss over. and a lot of the more difficult moves that you might need to experiment on dont' even occur until the boss is half health.
>>486932917summons aren't cheesing the game, cheesing is when you abuse systems in ways they are't intended to be usedsummons are fully implemented and intended to be used as they are, if you are not having fun one on onebosses are designed where they will switch attack targets to you if you damage them, and often ignore summons who attack them if the boss is going after youthey're not an instant win button, and if you think some are then just use some of the weaker summons so you can bring the balance down to something you feel is challenging and enjoyable
>>486932981I do appreciate it anon.
>its in the game so its not cheeseobjectively wrong. if it makes the game too easy and allows me to ignore learning the game then its cheese. the game is full of cheese because fromsoft is actually terrible at gameplay design.
>>486933201whatif i die more than two or three times to a boss, i normally reevaluate my equipment and strategy to see what's not working, or what i could try differentlydo people really just choose one approach and stick with it even if it's not working?
I just absorption stack as much as possible and monkey mash R1 with the gugs and I win 90% of my invasions and arena duels this game is so easy bruh
>>486933203>summons aren't cheesing the game, cheesing is when you abuse systems in ways they are't intended to be usedthat's not what cheesing is, cheese is when you any strategy that completely trivializes the game
>>486933381>objectively wrong.You're objectively wrong. See? I can do that too stupid.
>>486933385yes? watch the standard normgroid play theyd rather slam their head into margit for 9 hours then go anywhere elsepeople who only jump l1 attack with collosals think their opinions matter on anything
>>486933461summons don't trivialize the game>>486933381then that's why i said use summons which don't make the game TOO easy, just easier enough so that you find the challenge enjoyable instead of tedious
Anyone else think its funny how Sellen obviously spends a lot of time taking care of her looks, only to cover it up? She's like one of the few women who actually wears makeup in Elden Ring.
You can see his brain shutting down in real time as he realises how badly he just fucked up.
>>486933461if they really didn't intend for stuff like that to be used they would have certain things unusable in certain areas and boss fights
>>486916624>>486917380For what it's worth I give you permission to save my posts for me t. Messmer appreciator who wrote the ones about not loving evil men
>>486933602she's doing it for her, not for others
>>486932615almost all of this is just patently false, lmao>6this one is partially true. i have no idea how you're supposed to anticipate rellana's desperation attack. it's likely to 1-shot you on your first playthrough because you'll be 3-5 skibidi, and jumping the moons isn't intuitive when you already associate the moon with running away because of rennala's fight / the spell.>but scadutree avatar explosionthis is another move that will only hit you once (once you get hit by the beams, it's obvious that that's what you're dodging, not the explosion), but it's not a 1-shot and you're much more likely to be fighting this boss at a higher blessing level.>radahn meteorif only radahn had an attack in the base game where he jumps into space and then launches himself at the player's position, which can easily be countered in both instances by running in one direction.>miquella's lightcan be blocked if you think you're not going to made it, even a weapon block will save your life, and it's also not a 1-shot at 12+ blessings / 60 VIG (which you should be by then).there is not a single move in the DLC as bad as waterfowl dance.
>>486932447dex int if you want o blue missiles blue swords blue arrows blue bombs blue shieldsdex faith if you want actual magic spells
>>486928619StuffIdk if I wanna link together all the ones I wrote together
>>486904464I been saying this + to the people who say we go to its roots, you never saw the bottom of those roots did you?
>>486933821share one or two please
>>486933602Sellen is cute. So is your character.
>>486931880Was Maria's fetish STR or INT?
>>486933946>So is your character.He's just a generic Tarnished modified from Vyke's sliders.
>>486933779>there is not a single move in the DLC as bad as waterfowl dance.thankfully not but its still ass and fromsoft clearly thinks waterfowl dance is a well designed move since they haven't patched it and miyazaki himself even said they were aiming for the dlc to be malenia level difficulty.
>>486934156I though it was a girl like that big woman from game of thrones
I'm here for Elden Ring
hilarious how people level to 3000 and then refuse to use any armor, buffs, relevant talismans, consumables, shields the list goes on and fucking ondumb bitch youre already playing skyrim ceo of the fighters guild and president of the mages guild figure it out
>you have to make your character look like a leukemia patient for armor proportions to be normal>your nose size also effects helmet/mask shape somehowI will sacrifice body aesthetics for armor to look good and not like a fucking potato
How to dodge light slams in radahn phase 2 after the meteor?As is I just try dodging the slam from the real one so I don't get caught in the AoE combo but the clones hit me and I don't want them to.
>>486933724>spoilerbased, messmeryumes own this general, everyone else is just posting in it
>>486934647>>486923229
>>486934471>>you have to make your character look like a leukemia patient for armor proportions to be normalI already do that by default because it makes it mentally easier to dodge shit even though it doesn't affect anything
>>486934310Brienne? If I was playing her, I wouldn't be using the young/pretty face texture. Sides, if I'm playing a woman, I'd try to make her feminine.
>>486934471easy fix, just acquire a skinny girl fetish
yeah I’ve actually had sex in my life so for me personally its gotta be all body sliders set to max with the heaviest armor I can wear, type A of course
>>486933942https://arch.b4k.co/vg/thread/484947051/#484960106Nothing long-form
>>486935036lol gay sex maybe lmao
honestly i just want blaidd to take off his dumb fursuit and fuck me
elden ring is alot better than ds3i hate replaying ds3 so fucking much its so boring an dull the only good thing about it is the bosses
>>486935084cute cute cute cute
I have had four stinking hours of sleep.Bad morning /erg/.
>>486935404both games have gay incestuous brothers with the feminine one clinging onto the back of the stronger one
>>486935508And you can kill them both.
>>486935328>Imagine how weird it would be to be on your hands and knees, Blaidd's entire body pressing down on your back as he ruts into you. He's uncomfortably large, not so much that the pain overrides the pleasure, but you find yourself reaching down past your waist all the same, holding out an arm to try and keep him from thrusting so deeply. He growls and, with one quick move, clasps that arm against yourself so you can't move. You're about to protest when you feel his jaw clamp down on your neck, sending a frission of fear and thrilling submission through your body. His breath is hot and wet against your skin and a rumble of irritation rises from deep within his chest. Pinned like this, there's nothing you can do, and nothing you really want to do, but to relax and enjoy the ride. There's something desperate about his pace, more than just primal arousal. It's not just sex for him, you realize, as his tongue flicks out to tease your nape and ears. He needs this. Needs to feel you, to know you're there, solid and real and that you can't disappear into the sky like his former mistress. The thought of an Empyrean Shadow being so dependent on you is strangely titillating and you find yourself arching your back lower, giving him a better angle to piston into you. Pushing back against him now that you've got a grasp of his bestial rhythm. Ropes of thick hot drool drips from his mouth, to seep into your hair or run around your neck to pool at your clavicles. His growling is getting louder. His grip on you, tighter. Your eyes widen at the sensation of his knot, now swollen, pushing insistently against your entrance. "Wait, Blaidd-" you begin, but he cuts you off. "Going to... you... breed you..." he rumbles, his jaw still against your throat. "Put puppies in you." Imagine how weird it would be feeling the knot slip in. Imagine how weird it would be to have all of his's power and weight pinning you as he cums, flooding you, filling you up. Wouldn't that be weird?hhhhh
Why is the game so big and hard, I try to start and play it but feel overwhelmed like it's Skyrim 5.0 and I'm a mere bug that still has to play another 30 hours to have a useful build.From should work on that, the first dozens of levels are just leveling int / vig / some other additional stat to even be able to play the game, then just leveling to minimum requirements for weapons or spells, etc.. Souls vanes always have this issue of taking too long to "come online".Although I think ER addresses it better by giving you Ashes and a Horse so you feel like you're doing something cool early on.
>>486935612backhands were really the beginning of the end weren't they
Aight fuck it, I've got 80 FTH, 23 STR and 18 dex and I'm a lazy bustard at the moment.Any suggestions on what Flame Art weapon to use until I can get a Fire Knight Greatsword?Yes I'm aware that just about anything can work, just not sure if I should be using a greatsword to get used to the swing speed or not.
Is Carian Sovereignty actually worth building around outside an INT build? I put it on a Heavy Great Katana and it's still chunking things with Alexander + Godfrey Icon
>>486916624I didn't even know this was a thing, is there any backup where I can read?
What's the most cancerous co-op'r that you've personally met / fought, anons? I'm not talking someone using cheated consumables or whatnot. Just a guy playing a "normal" build that is insanely fucking strong or hard to deal with.I just came out of a 30 minute invasion of a guy doing nothing but spamming that Dart Spell that'd hit for 200+ each hit while the host was protecting him and basically ensuring I'd never get to do anything ever without taking constant huge chip damage.
>>486935698>backhandsfucksellswords*
>>486935687>IntTypo, I meant Endurance. Dark Souls 4 should start at the equivalent of 15 vig / end to let you survive a good amount of hits by default so you can focus on other stats.
>>486935687bro you can run and go get 70k souls in a few minutes, and all you need is some fucking stones to become OP with weapon upgrades. When you understand the game and actually think about what you want to accomplish it's easy as shit.
why does the sword lance get 100 ar more than all the other hts on every build
>>486936007From can't balance
>>486935812Its damage scales off INT even if you'd weapon had zero INT scaling
y hornnigger invide?
>>486936007To compensate for losing the HTS’s best attack, the running R2
>>486935640comfy except i don't like the dog stuff
>>486936112Fextra says it also scales with affinity but who the fuck can trust that
>>486936142>expecting a Hornsent to need a reason to be shit
>>486936187If you're thirsting for Blaidd and not one of the other husbandos in this game isnt the dog stuff the whole point
>>486935404Everything before Lothric Castle and Ringed City is always bland as fuck on repeat playthroughs, probably the main reason I would say ER beats it
>>486936112Damn, shame. I kinda wanted sword beams on my STR/ARC build
>>486935423Thank you, I like writing in second person the best
>>486936363What parts of ER aren't bland as fuck to replay though?
Jesus fuck those Basilisks before Blaidd's shadow are tankier than I fucking remember, what the fuck
So Rellana's swords are shit?
>>486936481>int fth three way split damageit was over before it even began
>>486936481YeahThey really should've been two separate swords
>>486936563will int fth chads ever eat good? did they even get anything else in dlc?
>>486936448Fighting Godfrey. Literally the reason the game was salvaged for me.
>>486935687Because you're supposed to do one massive playthrough and then do NG+ or side stuff like coop/pvp all on the same character and stop between 125-200, compared to the previous games where you could quick start characters in a day or less.
>>486936291no, i like tall muscular guys who aren't like overly muscular like radahni don't like D bc his armour looks weirdrogier is not my typevarre is a bottom, again not my typemohg is hot and all but again he's really muscly in a weird body builder waymorgott is kinda lamegodfrey is too americanradagon is a trannyalexander is a fucking jarhewg is a fubgideon is a prickshabriri is jewish
>>486936628there's no damage type associated with int fth so nogo play ds2 or 3 and make a dark build if you want int fth retardation
>>486936628int fth is actually decent for casting since they buffed the golden order seal
>>486935404>elden ring is alot better than ds3No one will give a shit about Elden Ring when the next tryhard Fromsoft game is out.
>>486935084From one Messmer enjoyer to another, I salute you
>>486936895just wait for the zoomers to say "oh man elden ring! i grew up with that as a kid, it's so underrated"
>go past a fog wall>miss out on either swift slash or a talismanthis feels like a parody
>>486937002the snake looks like it's doing an ahego face lol
I think the reason I hate Elden Ring lore so much is because its so filled with holes and open to interpretation. Its always been hard for me to express why I feel so badly about the store and lore in this game, but I think I can provide an example indirectly: Youtube lore content creators.Dark Souls 3 had enough meat that most lore wasn't complete schizo trash. The core of the story wasn't hugely up for interpretation or anything, but people discussed the details, filling in gaps, fleshing out the connected story that we got. Then ER came along and everyone is just posting fuckin nonsense. They are all posting nonsense because you have to completely make shit up to fill in the gaps in ER. You aren't 'painting in between the lines' or whatever, you are just starting with a blank canvas in many cases.Most people can't even explain anything related to the main character (Marika) in any kind of detail. No one has any idea what the fuck the DLC trailer showed, or what the base game ending is even about with Marika 'dying'/turning to dust. In DS(3) both the base game and final DLC had great endings. People could schizo post about what happened to Solaire and if he was that sandworm thing all day but we had closure
>>486936720I think I will. Dark/Abyss and the Deep is a lot cooler than ghost flame and lame skull emojies.
>>486937154>take one step into shadow keep>miss out on several NPC questlinesheh
>>486937195Horrible post
>>486916624end of an era
>>486936895ER despite it's flaws is still the best one that isn't BB/Sekiro. DS1 would be in there too but there's pretty much no reason to replay it nowadays and the best part of the game (AoTA) is really short.
>>486935687For people starting out, yes you're supposed to explore and level up slowly and build slowly. For people wanting to do that part quickly (maybe NG), you just run to Caelid and kill Greyoll. When you are on NG+, you get to Moghwyn Palace quickly with Varre's questline and farm the enemies there by the Palace Approach grace with the sword you get from the Elden Beast rememberance. You get like 40k runes a pop, you can quickly build up whatever character you want. This game works best when

Fresh bread>>486937649>>486937649>>486937649
>>486937580>This game works best whenANON???
>>486936895>>486937026Note how no one but those who started with ds3 remember or cars about it anymore. Same thing will happen with elden ring. Sekiro and bloodborne were their last games with staying power
>>486937693he's right desuthe only winning move is not to play
>>486912353The funnies thing about it is Godwyns story is fully told and actively harmed by him being revived. It would just resolve all of the deathblight/undead stuff instantly, there would be no point to it.They just refuse to accept that Miquella is not an altruistic guy, and he resurrected his biggest, strongest brother so he could conquer the world and make his "age of kindness" (even though we're given mountains of evidence that he isn't kind at all)
>>486937221I agree with you but that's actually always been the case. They obviously don't plan anything or intend on answering as much as people like to pretend. I think they're mostly concept and art design focused and that's all, other aspects like lore and enemy/item placement are pulled out of their ass. The most coherent were probably BB and Sekiro but even then there's a lot of vagueness or unseen figures just to be vague. Doubt GRRM actually had much at all to do with most of the lore or development either behind the scenes because he never elaborates or goes into detail even slightly whenever he brings it up or gets asked about it.
>>486927548How's ranni a mary sue, if her plans wouldn't have come to fruition without the player's input? She'd have to be an independent who needs no man and accomplish the age of stars by herself to be one, stop using terms you don't know. Not even her ending has decisively claimed that it's perfect or would be the best case scenario.
