I’m level 168 on PS5 and Invasions take around a minute or two of finger spam to fire and in the Arena I usually fight the same 5-6 people over and over. Did I pick the worst level for activity?
>>493234437No, the game is just dying everywhere but on Seamless.
>>493234478Jesus Christ. DS3 had more invasions even 5 years after launch.
>everyone always whines about mages, build and dex builds>Go to colosseum>more than half of the duels are against UGS crouch-pokers
>>493234721Yeah, because it has solo invasions. Everyone fucking called that ER will die within months after DLC. Even on low levels the activity went down the shitter.
>>493234437Really? I wanted to invade 150-200 in a few weeks on PS...
>>493234437166 allows you to invade down to 150, but I think 168 might be just high enough to not match with 150.
Midra and Ymir both do the Zanzibart meme. Unbelievable.
>>493233647Godrick doesn't send crescent butterflies>>493233693>Literally everything he does in the base game is objectively goodNo, Miquella does evil for what he considers an ultimately greater good.He had clearly an hand in Godwyn's attempted assassination, which then concluded with Godwyn being grafted under the ErdtreeYou are completely missing the point of the DLC if you think you are supposed to feel badThis ia a Fromsoftware trope since Maiden Astrea, just because he is an hero of the downtrodden doesn't mean that he wasn't evil.
>>493211982Or grab his wrist and drag him toward the nearest bed for some good ol' discipline.
And to think we used to dream of the golden age the dlc would bring...Why didn't you add covenants miazaki? Is it punishment for the sin of ryona?
Covenants are a pointless meme
>>493238108Even if they sucked it would still take a year for people to admit it, and if you have some kind of host covenant(gravelord?)? it would at least generate some activity in that yeat
>>493238256No, Covenants would just make the game worse or even increase wait times further, which is why they were streamlined with Rune Arcs and simple multiplayer item.The whole flavour of Covenants is undeniably lost when you can swap them like nothing so it's just exactly what we got in Elden Ring.
This is all I can hear in my head in Ruins of Ruahhttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=b0L79dHcdH0
>>493238108Seamless has pseudo-covenant mechanics that give meaningful rewards for defeating invaders, and considering it's way more active than vanilla despite it being possible to toggle off invasions I wouldn't call it pointless.
>>493239660what are the rewards?
>>493239479Poor Tarnished.
>>493234721>open world is easy>legacy dungeons are easy>spirit ashes are overpowered>no solo invasions>only 3v1>>>
>>493234437I’m seeing this on my low level builds. I used to do anti-smurf co-op builds at lvl 20 +3/+1 with a ton of activity before the DLC dropped. Now I’m barely ever getting summoned, to the point that it feels like I’m either banned or locked out of the multiplayer range. The only thing I’ve done is go into the DLC with some low level builds and gotten some scudutree fragments/revered spirit ashes, haven’t upgraded any weapons or made any weird trades.The crazy thing is I do occasionally get summoned by new players, but lately it’s been mostly other low level twinks with late game armor/weaps/spells as well. And like you said sometimes it feels like I’m in a pool with the same 5 people. I’m wondering if going into the DLC or getting any fragments actually does put you in different pvp pool. It’s either that or the player base really evaporated. That just doesn’t make sense to me though since the player levels are allegedly still slightly higher than before the DLC dropped, yet low leve co-cop feels down 90%.Unless someone has done some testing of their own I might just have to start a new character or even a new account to get to the bottom of this.
>>493239660>and considering it's way more active than vanilla The only reason it's more active is thurd worlders who can't afford the game and pirate it
Why is every other invader using the same Bloodhound's Fang + Bloodflame Blade set up on my new playthrough? Are all the good invaders hanging out in the DLC right now?
We are now back to pre-DLC levels.
>>493240668Co-op in general is pretty empty. Things like not finding anyone at Volcano Manor at 60 +12 or having to wait to summon people for Godskin Duo at 125 +25, etc. One of these days I summoned the same person 3 times in a row by teleporting around catacombs>>493241327People doing Varre's questline
>>493236105They don't? Both Nanaya and Yuri are mentioned many times before and are fundamental in Midra and Ymir's stories. The !Zanzibart meme assumes that Zanzibart was never mentioned and the boss just goes ahh forgive me *guy I've never heard of*
>>493241813Meanwhile DS2 maintained a relatively large population for YEARS after release. I think it was like 20k people which meant you always had activity no matter what thanks to the solo invasion ruleset.
>>493237934I feel bad for the Jack Sparrow hopeposter (and all other hopeposters)Not even in my deepest doomer moments did I imagine things would turn out like this
>>493239725what do you mean?
>>493243365She's gonna be hurt forever and ever.
>>493243365He's a biter.
>>493239479Why is she crying? What's going on out of frame?
>>493243719She's "technically" allowed to leave the black keep any time she wants, but she got injured enough and had to be rested back to health over enough time that she's RL1 and so is in effect forced to stay as a pet or die. Esspecially since once she leaves, she'll be considered a combatant again and so his soldiers would hunt her down.
>Its another "twg does its circlejerk ritual to try and goad the messmeryume writefag to shitting out another chatgpt sloppa" episode
you rike?
>NO FUNPOSTING ALLOWED!!!
>>493244278>talk about sellen>...>talk about ranni>...>talk about miquella>...>talk about malenia>...>talk about messmer>NONONONO HOW COULD YOU DO YHIS WHY ARE YOU TALKING ABOUT THE SECOND MOST HIGH PROFILE CHARACTER IN THE MOST RECENT THING RELEASED FOR THE GAME NO NO NOOOOOOOYou're like the people who got mad about people posting too much about Elden Rkmg before the generals splitLiterally what is wrong about posting about 1 character that isn't the same as another
mad
>>493244772Yes, so? Being mad is normal, I had an arguement earlier but it was fine, mad is a good emotion
>>493244723Miquella's ass is mine to bully.
>>493243120It was the greatest dlc (appart from the end) from a solo perspective, but the worst for multi.Maybe it's Miazaky's way of making us accept this is the end of his career
>>493235363Fuck man, two whole characters down the drain. Is it worth going to 175 for level 200s?
>>493241327Those people are most likely shitter hosts doing Varre's quest.
>>493244723>Literally what is wrong about posting about 1 character that isn't the same as anotherYou know exactly why Messmer makes people like that seethe and it's because he's not a waifu they can make "uoohhh I wanna rape her until she dies from too much sex" posts about
I forget how fucking cancer Beast Clergyman / Maliketh is.Holy fuck the camera in this fight is abysmally bad
>>493246373 It's one of the best fights and the face that he keeps his stature close to the ground except during his suoer choreogeaphed jumps always made the camera really easy to keep track of him imo
>>493244906mad
>>493246897>>493244906
>>493246323I wonder if it's the same anon that ranted about degeneracy ( here off all places!l) every time Mogh was posted.I don't think it's the rape to death part that anger him simply not being attractive to straight men(miquella was a femboy and you know how "straith" works around these parts)
>>493246674Nah it's fucking awful.>poorly telegraphed attacks>small and inconsistent punishment windows>random combo extensions and variations>DOT + health debuff>takes up 80% of the camera and his attacks will often come from off-camera>weird hitboxes and tracking on some attacks
>>493247482skill issue
it sure smells fishy in here
>>493247592Meds
I would like to thank the anon who suggested leaving Midra or Bayle for last and beating Radahn before them. This made the DLC end on a very high note and Slopahn felt like a stupid side boss.
>>493247592cocksniffa-san....
>>493246373can maliketh still flip so hard he gets stuck in a pillar or did they fix that
>>493248165dunno but he can knot so hard he gets stuck inside type b pussy
>>493248372As opposed to type a pussy?
>>493247592forgot pic>>493247773?
Doing base game content with DLC weapons and armor feels so weird. Like in my mind they're 2 different games and it's uncanny
>most armors always look ugly or oversized on my female character>watch random fashion souls youtube video>some guy says x armor looks better when you're slim>nani, armor changes when you change your sliders>put my chest slider to basically 0>suddenly all bulky armor looks normal on my femaleHoly shit, I played for 700+ hours before I even noticed that I assumed it was just From being lazy shits and not fitting armor for Ales and Bemales correctly.
>>493234437PS is kind of strange, Ive been testing different levels and found that if you're looking for constant invasions you typically want 30 3/1 weapons but this is pure twink shit so have fun with that, but if you want end game level and DLC I've found 115 25/10 is solid. I get invasions EVERYWHERE, the overworld included when I TT, recall also that real world adults don't play during the day alot and kids are back in school so peak activity is typically after 6 pm EST in US, and I haven't thought about going higher. I avoid 150 shitters, I co-op dancing lion and messmer easily, and I can invade haligtree, farum, and mohgs and dlc areas up to Shadow keepI know people think 150 is meta and I don't disagree, but I do think for those of us wanting to still have fun and be the bad red man, 115 is solid and gives you a fairly complete build to work with
>>493249274I do this for Type A too. Chest at around 50, waist 0, legs and arms 110, head 100. Makes armor look much better and proportionate.
>almost first try Romina, super easy, die a bit of pushed into the wall panic/hard to see>second try goes horrible>she uses a bunch of attacks she didn't before>die before phase twoThankfully I beat her on the third try, though my flasks why a lot less than on my first. Man, the boss rng in this game sure is something.
>friend started elden ring>didn't get dlc>decide to use him as a nuke>drop a dlc weapon>he cna pick it up and use itWtf?
Imagine if in the last patch they will nerf waves of darkness, zamor ice storm and the rest of aoe ashes of war purely as a final fuck you to invaders
If covenants came back (and I still hold hope for this because it really would save the game from the monotony) what kind of covenants would you like to see?For me? It's Messmer flame knights, would be cool to be able to offer something to a statue of messmer or whatever for rewards.
>>493251367>covenants came back (and I still hold hope0 int post
>>493251089What's surprising about it? Even if you don't buy the DLC, the game still includes all the DLC weapons and armors or else PVP wouldn't work
>>493251089Honestly they should add dpc weapons to a base game shop somewhere, at least the generic ones>want to do a playthrough with a dlc weapon>by the time I get it I don't feel like playing anymore
>>493251367Mohg's Knights and Recusants as invader covenants. Both double as area protector covenants.Mohg's Knights can sow discord between party members of the host (turn on friendly fire for a few minutes). Recusants get a base stat boost during invasions depending on their rank to signify their pursuit of strength that scales with the amount of coopers.Bloody Finger Hunters as a blue covenant. Only one of them can be summoned to the host per session, but they can also invade Bloody Fingers solo.Also some sort of Company of Champions, maybe Jar themed. You can always be invaded solo, all enemies get +2 new game cycle worth of base damage buffs, you cannot summon phantoms or use spirit ashes. In exchange you gain upgrade materials and more runes by beating bosses and invaders. Ultimate reward is Alexander's Fist, a martial art weapon that allows you to do his flaming uppercut.
Radahn emits golden light flames when Miquella comes out of the gate. Those flames are see in several bracers and Shadow Keep Tibia Mariner boats.Interestingly, Melina burning does the same golden light flame.This must be souls and body burningAlso the Flame of Frenzy has a similar effect of golden light flames, can be noticed in the pic, and Frenzy can melt spirits.
So the coffin chasm where you find St Trina is the only place in the DLC with the evergaol worm things. Evergaols work by imprisoning people in the dream world, then?
>>493252424No. The frenzy flame is yellow not gold. Frenzy flame related things are called yellow The gold energy you see emanating from radahn is just something be does sometimes. We see it when he fights malenia too. Nigga just poops gold sometimes
>>493252424>>493252753Okay. Why does radahn sometimes emit gold energy Is he an anime character?
Consort Radahn is such a lame boss holy shit lol
>>493252936I always though it was the fire of his great rune
>>493249812>die about 10 times to putrid knight>can hit me from anywhere, can't put any distance in and feel like I have no chance to react to anything>wtf how do I avoid this bs>last try, I stick close to him barely even touches me>kill him using only two flasksGame is just hit and miss in general. Some bosses it just requires you to figure out the approach, and I think that's okay, but then bosses like Messmer and Romani are just spazzing out 24/7 and winning feels like pure chance. It's not even impressive to watch, it's just twirly whirly anime bullshit.
>>493252983I still can't get over the camera being completely fucking broken and pushing into the ground when you get close to him
>>493252936Every character in this game is an anime character wearing the mask of a low medieval fantasy character.
>use black knife AOW + black blade against NG+7 Radahn at the start of the fight>shave 13k HP from his health pool instantly
>>493252662no>>493252753No, that's Radahn's soul and body being cleansed. Starscourge Radahn is burnt and his madnessAnd yes, you see the same golden light effect coming out of the frenzied flame, most noticeably over its flames.It can't be a coincidence. Soul is cleansed by fire, just like fire burns sacred trers and there's ashes all over Leyndell.
>>493253103The problem is that most bosses are designed to punish you for trying to create distance between them while being relatively safe when circling- staying close to them but have visual attack pattern that seems to punish you for staying close. Moreover the camera itself is always a problem and to deal with it you are naturaly encouraged to try to get some distance to get a better view of the bosses moveset.
>fire has yellow on itno way
>>493253781Cope.
>wear heaviest possible armor>die in 3 hits>wear light armor>die in 2 hits but fast roll all over the place???
>>493253103skill issue>>493253789skill issue
>>493253781>noWhy not, and what instead, then. Don't be that kind of nigger. Why are the gaol worms there of all places?
>>493253103I did this too, I won't say EVERY boss you can get away with this like divine beast will kill you for doing it, but putrid knight is one of those that you can just hug him close and you'll likely come on top, even his flame moves miss except the one where he brings them to him
>>493252983He's pure unadulterated rollslop
Messmer is worse rollslop but nobody wants to admit it because he's easier than Radahn
Discuss.
>>493254881Use English.
>>493254881it's your tierlist what is there to discuss
I shamelessly cheesed consort Radahn with rot butterflies + poison flower blooms twiceIf Malenia did it, I can do it too
>>493254289Gaols are jails for souls.The Stone Coffin Fissure has putrescence that can't be burned because Ghostflame had disappeared, creating an improvised jail.The Stone Coffins are even more ancient and date to a pre Sacred Tree society, with Death, instead of Flames, being brought by a great flood. There's mesopotamic style architecture and inscriptions and the Dynast is portrayed without the sacred tree.>>493254028retard
>>493254881>putting a boss with an unrollable attack and where good positioning matter on rollslopBad bait
>>493254881i think they were all fun
>>493255607I did that too but mostly because his 2nd phase made my GPU overheat and I couldn't physically fight him at 20 fps
>>493253103Sure, Putrid is one of the more difficult ones, for most people. But Mesmer and Romani? They are really not that difficult.
>>493254881>Dancing lion>FunIdk maybe I had literally no idea what that ugly thing was doing, didn't see a pattern or rather it was dead before I could seeo ne, I just spammed attacks wildly and it died
>>493256041Increase fan speeds? GPUs shouldn't overheat so easily.
About to fight Gaius, pray for me.
>>493255715Radahn has several unrollable attacks and yet he's the epitome of rollslop
>>493256597good luck
>>493256230Dancing Lion is an IQ filterIt punishes retards hugging bosses nonstop
>>493256827most of the complaints about boss spergouts have to do with spacing or the boss reacting to flasks and casts. once you figure out when to be close mid or far that issue goes away>oh no, i can't dual jumping unga the entire fight
>>493256681Except a lot of aspects of metyr's fight encourage good positionning (almost all the magic attacks allow you to hit her during them without dodging if you move right, the hands force you to manage the situation of the battlefield and vastly different attacks depending on which side of her you're on + no stupid instant turn.)Also Metyr's appearance is visually disturbing thourough the fight, it's an incredible design for a alien monster that somehow is linked ot the origin of life.
>>493253103Messmer and Romina are literally the easiest rememberance bosses. Romina wouldn't even be hard as a ds3 boss.
>>493256827>Elden Ring bosses an IQ filter FTFY
>>493257664They are way harder than Midra
>>493256597>>493256785His fucking combo with the mount fucking me hard. Plus the kick from behind. Wash fairly close on my first time, getting progressively worse. Didn't even get to phase two on my third attempt.
>>493258013At least he doesnt inta aggro you on subsequent attemps after they patched it.
>>493254881Would be perfect if you put Gaius in fun. Reject rollslop and embrace deflecting, he becomes a very fun boss if you do.
>>493258013you can juke the charges and fuck him. the majority of his moves are meant to punish the greedy
>>493252753It's his great rune trying to burn away the rot
Anyone got any tips for NG+7 Promised Consort Radahn? And no, greatshield poke is not an option since he breaks even the biggest greatshields in 2 hits due to NG+7 modifier. I've been banging my head against him for 3 days, 2+ hours a day, and I have never even gotten him to 50% hp.
>>493258709you will have to embrace the parry/rollslop meta
>>493258709i'm only on ng+3, but my guess is that you will have to light roll + some escape ash like raptor of the mists or quickstep
>>493255640Yes we all watched the Tarnished Archaeologist but what does that have to do with the worms and why they are present at that location? Answer the question you were actually asked or admit you don't actually have an answer.
>>493255640>The Stone Coffins are even more ancient and date to a pre Sacred Tree society, with Death, instead of Flames, being brought by a great flood. There's mesopotamic style architecture and inscriptions and the Dynast is portrayed without the sacred tree.I dont know which is worse, Tarnished Archeologist and his shitty historically induced headcanon or those that parrot it without mindlessly.
>>493256130I beat messmer in three attempts but I still thought it was a shit spazfest.
>>493258709Rot build fucks him upRot infused Antspur rapier with poison flower blooms twice, mushroom clownsuit + poison talisman, holy greatshield, deflect tear
>>493259115because the worms are guardians
>>493259273No, you are simply retarded, it doesn't matter how many tries it took you.You can deny half its moveset by staying under him or to his sides
How does magic work in Elden Ring? What’s the strongest type of magic in the lore? Why do some sorceries lack crests?
How are you supposed to know what moves can be parried and what moves can't? I'm trying to learn to parry PCR and obviously all his one-handed attacks can be parried but I made the assumption you can't parry his "powerstance" attacks where he swings both weapons at once (because that's nonsensical) but that's not the case, yet I've also been trying to parry his "powerstanced" simultaneous x-slash move but that doesn't seem possible. How am I supposed to know if I'm simply missing the parry or if I'm wasting my time trying to parry a move that can't be parried.
Right here.Why didn’t they give spell symbols to the bottom four? Were they out of time?
>>493260436Trial and error. There are no indications on which attack is parriable.
>>493261343>>493260436there's also a lot of misdirection from added to keep parry vets from immediately vaping the game. there's little stuff like hiding swing preperations (morgott), combos where only certain swings are parryable and moves when the parryable moment comes late in the attack animation (black knives)
>>493261343>>493261778So basically parrying is a horribly implemented unintuitive mechanic not worth learning? I was starting to think that. People always say parrying makes bosses easier, and I did learn to parry Malenia and it did make her consierably easier, but I guess they're not accounting for the hours of trail and error it takes to actually learn to parry a boss consistently. Not to mention they made parries not start up instantly and with how fast some bosses attack it feels like parrying on reaction is no longer possible on many moves and instead you have to simply memorise the timing of their moves and parry predictively which is not at all how that should work.
Rebecca... why...
>>493260821Yes they were out of time, like always. They always do the spells the very last second, lol.
>>493261921It is worth learning because it completely trivializes bosses like Midra Malenia Rellana, but frankly I don't know if you can learn parrying if you start from Elden Ring. I've been parrying this shit since Dark Souls 1 a decade+ ago and I still had huge issues with ER's bullshit attacks.
>>493261921it's just a case of the devs making parrying a little bit tougher with each games, just like roll timing. it's just escalated so much that now enemies are doing seizures and retarded delays, but we are six games in, so there you go. the trade off is that sometimes the ai upgrades are exploitable, the biggest to me being that every mounted enemy can be made to look like an invalid
>>493259272His insights and theories are pretty interesting and a lot of the stuff he points out is quite compelling, the problem is this autistic fanbase doesn't understand deliberate ambiguity and tries to boil everything down to its most literal and mundane interpretation.
>>493260821I already answered you. >>>/v/687863702
>>493263253Was it eternal darkness?Was it an astel or two?Was it an angry metyr?
>>>/v/stay there
>>493264363This general is unironically worse and a lot less helpful than /v/You’re all the same bunch of retards hanging out together
>>493264515Yeah…
>>493261682This but with Trina instead.
>>493264515erg doesnt play the game so
Does the japanese version of the game have japanese voice actors or is it in english as well?
>>493258013What a nigger. Beat him after 10 tries, unfortunately had to take a break in the medium to do some other stuff. Never quite learned his combo attack. Seemed like in most cases I would get hit by his last sword slam no matter what. I thought maybe the last move of his boar is maybe not something that damages you, but it sure seems to do. Sometimes I dodged it out of pure positioning, though I am not good enough to always have control of that.That aside he seemed to have perhaps the most difficult for me to learn charge attack so far in the game. Kinda learned them, but sometimes I would still get him by some. The side boar charge from distance is something I kept getting hit by almost every time, despite expecting it to come. Some attacks are really difficult to tell the distance too. In his second phase when sends extra orbs against the player, it seems like no matter which direction I roll in I will get hit. Perhaps I was suppose to just run away from it, but if I remember correctly it seemed to be at least following me a bit.Though Putrescent was a lot more difficult, it felt overall less bullshitty and more of a "I got hit by that, but I can see it it is learnable".
>>493265774English with Japanese subtitles.
>>493259272I usually agree with most of what he says and he convinced me that people were born from trees like fruit during the age of plenty but that latest video of his was dogshit, he literally just made shit up at random.
>>493259272TA a is super hit or miss. Some of his videos are actually Galaxy_brian.png and feel like he's uncovering a hidden piece of lore that no one else noticed while others are complete fucking retardation that completely contradict established lore. If you want a laugh watch his timeline video.
>>493261682Thanks bro, just fapped to this. But who's the artist?
More like shadow of the sloptree. Time for promised faggot fagahn.
>rapes your lore>rapes your lore characters beyond recognition>rapes your gameplay adding the failure of the ash of war system>rapes your difficulty so even the most braindead shitters can easily bleed poke through your game>rapes your online system>rapes your traditional co-op>rapes your invasions>rapes your build variety>rapes your fashion>rapes your game>rapes (You)Do you still believe in him?
>>493259272>>493262458TA does a great job of explaining the historical influences to all the midwits and literal Americans who have no clue about real world history and wouldn't spot this stuff by themselves if it wasn't spoonfed to them. You have to remember half of this game's audience grew up on a diet of anime and porn and nothing else.But his theories about how it all joins together with the story/lore as a whole are questionable, at best. Like, technically he's not wrong about anything, but he's not unearthing the story, he's just correctly identifying the stuff the devs were influenced by.
Charo is the Gloam Eyed King.
Why are people writing like this
good morning erg!!
>>493269083DOOM and GLOOM bvlls won... fromsoftware has fallen...
>>493269294eryaposter good morning>>493269083no
>>493269083It feels weird to say this because ER is their most successful game but I think Miyazaki is creatively bankrupt.
>>493269116Charo is obviously the Lamenter. Shunned and hidden, like his grave.
>>493269397>one trick pony his whole careerNo shit.
>>493266198The part he's missing is the big picture. He was talking shit about some noah ass flood, but he started off in the right direction and then just ran away with it. My take is TLB is basically a giant purgatory kinda holding place for spirits. The giant coffin boats are the original "migrants", ie oldest dead of whatever ancient civilisation it was originally the afterlife of. Age of the Erdtree was some new civillisation after that, but sharing a connection, and the changing order represents their changing view of how the afterlife works, so people were born out of the tree and shit because they were dying in the real world, and emerging into the afterlife. Anyway the major problem of everything in TLB is that the ordinary heaven and heal have stopped working somehow, or the actual gods (outer gods) have died or fled. Souls are just piling up in the middle.Maybe there was some apocalypse scale event in the real world. But whatever, those parts aren't actually important so it doesn't matter that there's no definite answer.
>>493269397He's been trying to get that message across since basegame DSIII, Sekiro will be the last original thing he will have created. Elden Ring may have an original art direction, design, and dressage, but all that is more work of the artists employed by From, it is all merely a different font for the same story and themes Miyazaki has been doing since dark souls. I don't much care though they still come up with cool visuals for a fun game I enjoy to play which is what really matters in the end right?

>>493269294Begone false snake!
>>493269083It's still a great dlc, just not as good as we hoped.I'll buy the next one no matter what I think, simply due to how good base game was
>>493269083no

>>493254881Messmer's too easy and his second phase is rollslop
This is probably a retarded question but do heavy attacks do the same stance damage with and without charging? I would guess charging them increases the stance damage by a huge margin and using them uncharged is worthless
>>493266198>made shit up at randomJust like miyazaki-sama...
>>493269397Elden ring was a lot more creative than ds3, which was slop alternating between basic fanservice and direct copies of demon's souls... But I still agree, unfortunately
>waiting for the next Fromsoft game reveal
>>493274710Probably new Armored Core, next summer game fest.
>>493274710can i wait with you?also, someone discovered my tripcode in last night's /v/ elden ring thread. i'll have to retire it after the lawsuit...

>>493275896>oneelden ring has 30
>>493272813Why were you preording games in the first place?
>>493274491>Elden ring was a lot more creative than ds3couldnt disagree more, elden ring just screams "level editor" at every turn. copy paste forts, copy paste catacombs, copy paste everything. just an hour or two in the game and youre already conditioned to go find the cellar with the boss and/or chest in every copy paste ruins you find. i like the game but watching everyone jerk all this shit off when its the most basic bitch world design imaginable is just hilarious.
>>493275814DS1 Remake
>>493275987That's just because there's more shit in the game period, there's also fifty different ways to play the game in a way that is perfectly challenging. These games are and always have been "create your own difficulty"
You guys just don't like it when the thing you like gets popular.
>>493276391mostly true but i really do despise how annoying this game is to ng+ enjoyers. michael does everything in his power to make you not want to play
>>493276224>there's also fifty different ways to play the game in a way that is perfectly challenging.like?
>>493276105Please compare the catacombs of carthus and the demon ruins in DS3. Even two areas right next to each other, one of which is a return from DS1, is just copypasta, in a game much, much smaller than ER
>>493275389But like, how worse? 15%? 60%? 100%I wish the game showed you stance damage too, playing this shit by "feel" is fucking retarded.
If mike can't let go of his cycle obsession at least he should do a game really centered around that.Imagine a chalice game, but with a randomizer finely tuned so that every combinaison make some kind of sense(some semblance of it at least), not every room/item/monster/boss/npc appears in every playthrough. At the end of every cycle you have two option, end the run or repeat the cycle.Every npc quest has a good ending, but the keys items/locations/situations might not appear, in which case some form of bad ending. However getting the bad ending of one quest ups the odds of the necessary thing appearing in the next run.The ending cutscene is modified by every single npc quest you finish, so for casual playthrough you just grab what quests you can and finish on first cycle, but more dedicated player can break the cycle at what they think is the perfect world.
>>493275814kings field is too niche, people would think of it as skyrim with double the jank
>>493278198roguelikes and roguelites are shit and should not be taken seriously
>>493277058im not a big fan of ds3 anyway, my memory of it is also from ps4 at 30fps. the game looked and played more like bloodborne 1.5
I dont remember does he have a second eye?
>>493278198you're back nox
>>493276683Right now I'm replaying the DLC with a blind swordsman cosplay using the flowing curved sword in one hand and the black leather shield in the other, focusing mostly on parrying and successive attacks. It's incredibly fun and challenging.
>>493278796Fuck no I have a father
>>493279363A father!?
>>493269116>>493269456Charo is just Charon, that's it. He's not important.
I can barely get consort radahn to half health any tipsi hasve 71 vig and using icerag glintstone, moon and cometdo I even bother dodging the holy attacks that are images of radahn? it seems like the barely do any damage compared to the physical follow up attack
>>493278976>normal playthrough>challenging???
>>493278576his skin melted and closed the eye
>>493234163(1/2)I think the most important question to ask ourselves in relation to Elden Ring's DLC is why did Miquella "fail". What truth is Miyazaki trying to communicate through this video game medium?I think the answer is something like: hardening your heart, betraying your ideal (represented both by Miquella seeking adulthood in Haligtree, along with the abandonment of Trina) all to obtain the strength to contend with reality leads to the upheaval of the messianic heaven on earth utopia that the Haligtree Order signifies.One cannot simultaneously seek hard power, dominance over others in the physical plane that is godhood (adulthood), while simultaneously wanting to embrace the soft power of unity consciousness and bringing everyone together. The DLC Miquella has basically succumbed to the fear and has been overtaken by ego consciousness. In this "failed" timeline, he wants to take things into his own hands after he saw Godwyn killed and Malenia defeated, not realizing his action in wanting to take on hard power by becoming an "god" (adult) in the Haligtree ruined the chain of causality that would've otherwise led to a happy outcome. Innocently, he wanted to see Malenia cured and Godwyn reenter reincarnation, but took it into his own hands to accelerate the process in a manner based in fear and clinging. This is why he had embedded himself in the cocoon and does all he can to become a god, eventually leading to him failing having to make a new plan for himself in the Shadow Realm. This leads to him becoming epulsed by his compassion (Trina), viewing her as the source of his weakness. Thus he reneges on his initial plans, clings to the embodiment of hard power and suffers a final defeat at the hands of the savior he was supposed to marry, and would've likely saved him, Malenia and the rest of the demi-gods were he still around to act as a guide for them.
>>493279664>>493279664Go look up blind playthroughs of Elden Ring on youtube. A "normal playthrough" is what people here would call "cheese"; bloodhound step, bleed, dual colossal jump attack spam, mimic tear and spell spam. That's what a "normal playthrough" involves to 90% of the playerbase.
did intern-kun fuck up and make spirits and npc summons do less damage despite the recent "buff"
>>493280157(2/2)What's interesting is that Miquella had two critical junctures to make things right, but chose fear each time in this "failed" timeline. However Marika initially fails at the first critical juncture by waging war in the Land of Shadow and subjugating everyone with Godfrey, which eventually results in Golden Order falling apart and her crucifixion. But during the return of the Tarnished she fully leans into soft power and unity consciousness, not even speaking but guiding through grace and resurrecting the Tarnished without imposing her will, taking in whatever vision for Order they have in mind at the end of the game.This is why in this "failed" timeline of Miquella, she ends up being portrayed as a tragic hero and possibly why the DLC is linear, without any references to the Tarnished taking a Ranni, Frenzied Flame ending or even a Miquella ending as the initial gameplay trailer might be depicting. It also may be why there are several references, including direct lines by the Hornsent NPC that they are Marika's Lord, along with Miquella himself calling them the "Lord of the Old Order".Miyazaki is simultaneously showing the potential for redemption within anyone (even Marika), while simultaneously showing how a messiah can be corrupted by hard power into a tyrant by giving into fear instead of faith. It's quite brilliant really.Marika basically becomes a child again through her unconditional love and support of the Tarnished, giving up her godhood (adulthood).Miyazaki is cunnypilled.
>>493280157>I think the most important question to ask ourselves in relation to Elden Ring's DLC is why did Miquella "fail".because he's not the player character and the player character always wins in every video game ever
Is there a list of enemies that will harm you (the invader) as well, and not just the host and their buddies?
>>493280547The only one I know of is Ekzyke's one attack where he filled the entire area with a rot cloud because I got killed by that as an invader and thought it was bullshit because how the fuck are you supposed to know when you're immune to every other attack except that one
that up there is the worst namefag yet
>>493280547>>493281000pretty sure all dragons hurt invaders too cause I've seen invaders die to Smarag's glintstone
>>493280547If it can deal damage to the environment it can probably hit invaders too.
WHAT THE FUCK AM I SUPPOSED TO DO WHEN RADAHN STARTS SPAMMING HIS CLONESI CANT STOP THEM WITH GREATSHIELDI CANT ROLL THEMHOLY SHIT
>>493281000I almost got deathblighted by the giant crab near Boggart in Leyndell while I was invading there. I also know that the Crucible Knight in Farum Azula attacks invaders too.
>>493281819>that up there is the worst namefag yetI'm dragging you to the truth kicking and screaming. I'm risking all that I am, what risks do your favorite namefags take in the name of the souls fanbase? I'm literally going to save people that don't want to be saved.Call me a scapegoat if you want, Gherman would want that.I'm risking financial destruction not for myself, because I already know it's there, but for you. I firmly believe that we shouldn't have to go on a wild goose chase to find the hidden game, and i'm willing to fight for it.
>>493282661Why did you ignore my response to your argument? >>493280484
>>493279620Best advice I can give is to stack physical and holy resistances and use a tanky spirit ash who's job isn't to do damage but just to keep the pressure off you a bit so you can heal every now and then
>>493282764>Lux Dominus AeternaYou got the wrong person. I'm the from lawsuit person. Google "elden ring lawsuit" that's me
I am getting zero summons for radahn.
>>493283026All namefags are the same person

>>493283189
>>493283081What level are you? In the most populous time zone most people are at work right now so that could be it too.
>>493282989yeah that's what I've been doingI just summon the bloodknight guy for kino
>>493283382138
>>493283670Most people are probably almost 200 for Radahn, but also like I said a lot of people are probably at work/school so maybe just try again in a few hours.
>>493283026>he thinks anyone cares enough about his petty crusade for him to be found through google search results
>>493283998i can't believe they got the story wrong. they think i'm suing because the game is too hard.https://www.techopedia.com/news/player-sues-over-elden-rings-alleged-hidden-content-games-difficultythis article gets it a little right at the very least.we also have 1.7 million views on twitter, pic related.
Silly question but at rl150+, what is minimum spell boost and AR on a medium sized weapons I should shoot for reasonable damage against other players?
>>493283773nvm. I was looking for signs in the boss door. they used to be flooded early on in the dlc releaase. now everyone is at the summon stone place.
>>493284291>we also have 1.7 million views on twitter, pic related.Wow it's really that serious huh? I'll bet Miyazaki's little nuts are quaking right now bro.
>>493282661I meant the lux eternal fag I wasn't even talking about you since you basically don't even register as a real person to me after I heard your interview.
>>493284374lol it's like five feet away how did you not see?
>>493284291what is an example of the hidden content?how was it discovered?
>>493284727He's talking about cut content like Asimi that we've known about for years. He seems to believe cut content violates a law somehow despite literally every video game in existence having cut content.
>>493283286i have no clue what this means or what it's referring to but I found it hilarious
>>493284319321 spell buff and maybe 700 AR
>>493284490FROM SOFTWARE's position is understandable. They don't want to end everything. The trailer for Project Beast says quite clearly "This curse..this battle...how will it end?", so clearly FROM did think about how it would end..but they're still fighting to keep it alive.I clearly don't think it needs to be a secret, nor does it need to be ended.Source: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xx8KTIeSnzs&t=1mI understand the need for a japanese "safe space" where players can live in freedom from -you-. I guess i'm just sick of the hunt.>>493284727cut content like the other anon said. i'm saying it's not cut content, but instead, undiscovered. we'll get to the truth from bandai namco. if i need to chase them to california i will>>493284619fair enough
Can someone please show me where I can find the stance damage each weapon does? Surely this information is somewhere out there?
>>493285809What are you hoping to get out of this, exactly? What's the ideal outcome in your mind?
>>493286284I googled "Elden Ring stance damage" and found this in two seconds https://eldenring.wiki.fextralife.com/StanceAre you retarded or something that you couldn't do the same?
>>493284319around 600 AR on medium elemental affinity weapons and it's lower on physical
>>493284619>lux eternal fagWho the fuck is that?I'm suprised I've never heard of him if he's worse than our winter plague
>>493287040their paragraphvomit may as well be AI slop
>>493286542Instructions on how to go to the hidden game. If I get it, I plan to sell it. That's what I get.For the lawsuit, i'm seeking to trigger section 6, which is where the commission will review Bandai Namco's side of the story and find out what was omitted, and why.
Does the bleed buildup on bloodflame incantations scale with arcane or is it just a set buildup? Can you use swarm of flies and bloodboon effectively with just the minimum faith/arcane requirements?
>>493287443All build up is increased with more arcane. The damage of the spell is increased by upgrading the seal + faith.
>>493287262how do you prove there's a hidden game without getting to it?
>>493287196Could you tell me which namefags you're talking about?>paragraphvomitSomeone wasn't there for "it"'s saga
>If I get it, I plan to sell itHA you will deservedly rot in financial ruin and your fate is to make me giggle a little every time I remember your greed-tinged public idiocy, you may not be the worst namefag but this cements you as the most embarassing
>>493287262Please never stop posting here, this general is a lot more interesting with you in it. I'd love to see any updates on your progress.
>>493287763incorrect I remember Noxy's saga fondly and it was unironically more entertaining and soulful than most modern ergy posts
>almost 4,500 ER fanfics on AooO That's actually pretty surprising. I didn't know people actually wrote fanfics for these games
>>493287985The first one was okayish, but he ran it through the ground with his mogh sequel.
>>493286718I am retarded, yes, but its because I meant "each weapon does with certain ashes" instead of what I wrote.
>>493287262>If I get it, I plan to sell itso it's a delusion driven by greed? What a plot twist
>>493287607Status buildup on weapons is only increased by arcane if they have arcane scaling. For example rivers of blood will do more bleed with more arcane but the uchigatana wont.
>>493287443anything bleed-related is perfectly usable with minimum arcane
>>493288262Yeah but how many of them are worth reading? Three?
>>493281819That makes me feel better
>>493287636>how do you prove there's a hidden game without getting to it?By filing a complaint to the attorney general, which the judge has the power to do, to have them investigate the claim.the attorney general will find out if the hidden game exists or not. "I wish to petition the attorney general to enact section 6 and investigate Bandai Namco Games in respect to omitting the other half of Elden Ring"I don't need to prove it exists as a matter of fact this way.
>>493289084nta but you're kind of a special case since seeing your name indicates you didn't get murdered in your sleep/ get interned/ murder-suicided so that's nice.
>>493286718damn light greatsword stance damage is all in their heavies
>>493289084you're cool and I hope you're doing ok
>>493287865>I'd love to see any updates on your progress.Bandai still has the NAMCO ENTERTAINMENT card. If they play that card, i'll have to chase them to California, which is where all the japanese juggernaughts hang out.If I get stonewalled on September 25th by the NAMCO ENTERTAINMENT thing, the next happening won't occur until December, maybe earlier depending on how the attorney general thing works out.
>>493288639Wrong.
>>493290462so basically never gonna happen?
>>493291075Prove it
>>493237934>>493243120>>493245234i unironically loved the dlc and thought it was great in all aspects. i dont really care about multiplayer though, i just do random coop occasionally
>>493291520>so basically never gonna happen?September 25th is going to happen. The obvious argument is that Bandai will argue the lawsuit is for NAMCO ENTERTAINMENT, not BANDAI NAMCO GAMES.The law librarian in the courthouse couldn't find an agent for BANDAI NAMCO GAMES in massachusetts, but we summoned the correct President and Vice President of BANDAI NAMCO GAMES, so that's the first argument is that the defendants are correct and the company incorrect.if the judge decides the case can't proceed based on that, then i'll have to go to california, a trip i can't do until december.While waiting for December i'll be doing things with the attorney general regarding section 6 . They might be able to do things before December.
>>493288586Ikr? Like I still support the lawsuit since I want to know but like he's basically like just saying he wants to do the same greed tactics as them
>>493276610i never liked NG+ desu
>>493292129what about from software? from owns the IP for elden ring now
>>493269083I still believe in GODimura
>>493292891It's not retroactive, thankfully. If your box still says bandai namco games on it, you're good.
>>493292095>Metyr has an extremly disturbing hand aesthetic looks that makes you feel like she's touching you in all the wrong places>Midra manages to be an edgelord whitout being cringe and instead comes off as realy elegant>Mesmer is a live "falling into heresy for power" thing, the scene where he curshed the seal was really good>Scadutree avatar is a giant shadow sunflower with a rebirth + good music and a nice atmosphere>Dancing lion feels like he's dancing, and has the best music in the whole DLC>Bale is a demon dragon & Igon and the whole area insist on that aspect>The deathknight have that supremely cool grab>But hey here's Radhan again, and for phase two he gets miquella, which is a wig and flower projectile dispenser two for one.The aesthethic of Radhan was the worst of the entire game
faggot you downloaded the game, the files are there in your pc. take it to any trusted dataminer and you'll that there's nothing hidden. if anything, you'll find unused content with no line of code being used for it.remember to kys once you lose.
>parrying rellana is cheesing https://youtu.be/tv0Qlb5jYMw?si=oAjFFmrpMFWWsJuW;_;
>>493292095literally me
>>493292095I loved the DLC and I'm still doing runs for it because I enjoyed itThe world map in the DLC feels more "dungeony" than the base game which I likeI never have and never will care about From's stories or PvP, though.
Anyone else hates how every single boss in the DLC has openings only long enough to do one attack only? I had to respec away from my FTH build into STR because all incantations except fireballs and catch flame took too long to cast.
>>493293921Radahn's aesthetic is particularly pathetic because it's just a combination of Vengarl and Nameless King, who are both significantly cooler and more interesting than he is
>>493294978Objectively incorrect it's just hard to identify the openings that are safe for multiple hits.
>>493294978Yes anon, everyone does. It's one of the main complaints about the DLC. So many new spells and ashes, and bosses like Radahn have exactly 0 openings where you can use them.
Malenia.
Placidusax and Beastmen > Rauh, Uld, and Giants > Hornsent > Golden Order(age of Godfrey, age of Radagon, Shattering)The timeline is at least 100,000 years
>>493295347Show me a video of you using Messmer's Spear AoW on RadahnOr Romina's glaive AoW or her spellOr the divine warrior curved sword AoWOr Rellana's swords AoWOr 90% of the new incantationsGo
>>493269083Honestly the DLC is repulsive, but I think that's by design. It's Miyazaki's gift to mankind to show us what repulses us so that we can create a world that isn't nearly as bad as the world of the Land's Between. The negative contrast is just as valuable as the positive one.Miyazaki is directly challenging the player to do something about it if seeing a child force themselves to grow up and cling to a meat puppet disturbs us. To go where there is darkness and bring it to the light so that children can make their Haligtrees without having to grow up.
>>493295850>go through all this work just to prove a stranger wrong on a matter I already know they're wrong aboutbut why would I?
>>493296164I accept your concessionNow go kill yourself
>>493295850you want the boss of the dlc to have a seat on the couch while you warm up your aow?
>>493295850no need, find your openings retard, everyone here knows you're wrong
>>493289661>>493289812Thanks guys. Seriously. It's not just that I feel hopeless - hope itself feels dangerous.I don't know what I'll do when this general dies. You're the only ones that don't call me crazy or tell me to kill myself...
>>493296530cool, wont make you any less wrong
>>493296569I want them to let me use the gear I paid 40 bucks forI actually pirated the game truth be told, so I don't give a shit, but it's pathetic enjoy the bosses who don't let you use things you paid for

>>493297346Consort Radahn is one of the best From bosses ever. First genuinely skill-based From fight since DS2 and it filtered thousands. Let this be a reminder that shitters will NEVER be the target audience of true videogames no matter how many sony moviegames you play. Get fucked. AHAHAHAHAHAH
Consort radahn was kino, and that is FACT.
just cause that nigga sucks at the game doesn't mean you get to lie Radahn was shit
>>493296672as long as this general is here I'll be here to remind you to not give up on hope, we all have the capacity to make our world around us at least a little better, in that sense you have a purpose in life and though it may not be completely clear for a long time, letting your soul die in fear of hope is one assured way to never ever find it, and a pointless death without having ever found any purpose at all is by far much worse than what may seem like a pointless life at first, so don't be cringe and hold on to hope

>>493256785Is that Radagon to the right? Or a healed Messmer?
What is backstepping good for? It isn’t to dodge enemy attacks, that’s for sure.
>>493289239I have two questions.do you have a law degree and have you passed the bar?are you a tranny?
How come crucible fans got wrecked in the dlc?nothing to do except that hammer?And Devonia was not even a boss
>>493303078In ds2 it gave you I-frames. They removed it from ds3...
>>493303771They also got too new shit incantations. We should have gotten the tongue move.
>>493280434small indie company
like cockroaches, eh? 3 in a single thread.
>>493304293he's not a crucible k***ht so it's not that kind of spell
>>493269294Good morning~!
They didn't even bother modelling the back side of the gate of divinity lol they really made this shit like 3 weeks before the DLC came out didn't theyWhat a lame ass ending
This may be an incredibly stupid question but once I beat the final boss (Im still in the forbidden lands) should I go play the DLC or just finish main game and then go DLC? What would be more satisfying?
>>493305075You get the crucible wings from a Black Knight. It's safe to assume that it's all the same shit.
>>493305652you literally can't go to that point of view why would they bother modeling it>>493305814get to the haligtree for Dragoncrest Greatshield Talisman and then go to the DLC
>>493306076>you literally can't see the npc's faces behind the helmets why bother making unique ones0 int retard
>>493269294MorningDo you think that Rya ever actually feels happier woth the Tarnished, then kills herself later once the initial happiness wears off, or do you think that she was pretending the entire time and that led to it?
>>493306076>get to the haligtree for Dragoncrest Greatshield Talisman and then go to the DLCI did the opposite of this and now I can't help but wonder if it would've solved a lot of my frustrations.
>>493305814Complete all base game content before going to the DLC>DLC is endgame scaled so you won't end up trivializing it even if you beat Haligtree and Malenia first>DLC also relies on its own separate scaling through collecting some shit called scadu fragments so same as above, no worries of overleveling>90% of the playerbase finished the base game first and then sat tight waiting for the DLC to come out so if you care, you'll have a more "relatable" experience with everyone else if you do it this way>Personal opinion but I think the speed of Malenia's fight sort of preps you mentally for how rapid and chained a lot of the attacks you'll face in the DLC will be
>>493306076>you literally can't go to that point of view why would they bother modeling itThey bothered modelling countless of things that are out of sight. I mess around with free camera all the time The fact that they didn't bother making a full model for an (apparently) massively important setpiece shows that the ending was beyond rushed (as if the circular featureless arena and the ultra recycled animations of Radahn didn't give it away already)
>>493306076so then... >reach end game>beat final boss>Get talisman>Go to DLC>Beat DLC>Back to main game>Select endingIs the best path?
>>493305814Going to the dlc has nothing to do with the base game, it has its own scaling system called skibidi fragments. Late game base game areas like Melania's area are harder than the dlc.You should go to the dlc right now because it has a lot of cool stuff you can use to meme on the base game.
>>493306429>>493306703I really dont mind difficulty being easier or harder, it was mostly for story satisfaction reasons
>>493306679Yes. Then never open the game again.
I finally understand this general's obsession with "weak to anal"
>>493306429You can reach skibidi 14 without beating a single boss in the dlc just by riding the horse around the map. He doesn't need to do ANYTHING from the base game first AT ALL because once he's gathered 34 skibidis, he can do huge damage to anything and start killing bosses if he wants while gathering weapons. There's so many talismans, spells, armor and weapons in the dlc that he should get as soon as possible.
Why are lore nerds obsessed with this gloam eye nigger anyway? Why are they constantly trying to theorise who it is?It isn't anyone, it's some random fucking forgotten historical figure, get over it.
>>493306337>>493306676The NPCs are just using the ingame character creator, they literally can just hit random on those and modify them a little.An "unfinished" environmental set piece that you literally can't see without mods is pointless
>>493307189>ask question>answers it himself???
>>493306946Wait, Joyce wrote that shit? Dude is a deranged jew no wonder he gets pushed so much in school
>>493306918The DLC has no connection to the base game story except mogh and radahns deaths at your hand and perhaps history.
>>493307280Learn to read, the question wasn't "who is this", the question was "why are loretards obsessed with this?".
>>493307507reply again but without crying
>>493306918Well there's no story satisfaction to be had if you're a lorefag, unless you're a Messmeryume most people agree the DLC's story is a wet fart
>>493305652do nu/erg/cacas really?
>>493297256Don't worry, I know. It should tell you something about how bad things are right now.>>493299083Thanks bro. I'm trying, but it's hard when there's people actively working against me and the authorities ignore me and help those people. Plus, my family uses my sources of hope against me. Every dream I've had for my life got turned around and given horrible associations, Clockwork Orange style (literally, in one case, although the people involved were only role playing and it wasn't actual rape,) with the intention of getting me to either kill myself, get myself killed, or get me imprisoned/institutionalized. And since my family won't stop, and the authorities all the way up to the FBI ignore me and even help them, having dreams or feeling hopeful about anything causes waves of dread and anxiety.

>>493323092>>putting godrick's dialogue next to shaman village to appeal lore nerdsThat one was dumb anyway because Godrick isn't talking about shaman village, he's talking about leyndell
>>493318321Good point. I've got none. Remember: If prayer worked, people would get paid to pray.
I think it would've been cool if the twist of the DLC was that Miquella had inherited the frenzied flame at some point, and that his promises of compassion and salvation were really just him drinking the FF kool-aid. Then he ascends to godhood and gets taken over by the flame, and you fight him as the real Lord of Frenzied Flame. Remove Radahn and Midra from the equation.
>>493234163Just beat Malenia AMA

>>493323778Dodge and interrupt any attack with hit stun.Fought her at level 150 and put 3 extra points in endurance with runes I got from her.Usually wear the champion pauldron with the royal remain greaves and battlemage manchettes for fashion, but that was too heavy and spellblade outfit was heaviest thing I could wear that gave protection while still being able to light roll.The damage boost on darkmoon is a nice bonus as well.Didn't use any rune arcs.
>beat>darkmoon greatswordmmmm
>>493325709What is an /erg/ approved weapon if I actually want to beat the game?
>>493326018anything provided you only press r1 through the whole thing
>>493326018omen bairn
>>493326165Even r1 roll bleed katana?
>>493318690>>493323092Elden Ring isn't a good fit for the kind of thing Ymfah likes to do, especially since there are now 500 people making similiar content on Youtube. His latest video being meh is just a symptom of Elden Ring's broader failure as a game and the rapidly withering community around it.
>>493326245if you press the roll button you didn't beat the game
>>493323907It's a terrible boss fight. Like most.
>>493320407Too wrinkly to be part of Radagon's lineage.
Did Poopa give up in the game? I think webm related was his last post, there's only one guy left posting invasions
>>493326892The wrinkles add character.
>>493325516>Light armor and no damage resistwell done
>>493328030Damage resist does fuck all in the endgame.
There really is no enemy in Fromsoft history that is as confusing to dodge as Messmer, is there? I simply cannot get a read on when to roll due to the shitload of delayed attacks.
>>493323252What does he say that makes that dude think it's about the Shaman Village?
>>493328402How so? Even just stacking average armor, the resist tear, crab, and the phys talisman makes you take like 40% damage.
>>493321526>>493321143It's uphttps://www.nexusmods.com/eldenring/mods/6436
>>493329007"To our home bathed in rays of gold" correctly summarizes shaman village so everyone was like "YOOOO GODRICK REFERENCED THE DLC!!!!!" even though Marika explicitly left before becoming a goddess and returned once and that's it. I doubt any of her kids except maybe messmer went there
>>493328797What? He's one of the most intuitive bosses in the DLC outside of his big anime combo
>>493329047And you will still get one shot by Placidusax`s nuke or shreded by waterfowl.
>>493326416some of the video ideas for elden ring specifically are very boring>2x "how to be overpowered early on" videos (3 if you count the break elden ring at rl1)>elden ring without talking sounds interesting at first, ends up being mainly pre-nerf flame of the redmanes spam>elden ring without walking is eh, bloodhound step works very similar to a dodge anyway (also using spirit ashes at certain fights)the most interesting one is probably the bow only build with moveset swappingi do agree with you though, elden ring community is very dogshit
>>493329258Ah yeah, that's dumb. He's obviously talking about Leyndell
>>493329365You can actually survive getting clipped by a decent portion of waterfowl. Not sure about Placi's nuke, maybe Endure can help you live it.But defense and dodging isn't one or the other, anon. Even with like 25 END you can wear plenty of armor and stack the other things I mentioned to get respectable damage resistance. And that's ignoring any aura buffs or whatever.
Have you guys ever listened to the Watchdogs' voices? P spooky.
>>493328402That's absolutely not true in the slightest
Always shocked by how much people just insanely undervalue protections
you're supposed to dodge hits
>>493325516>DMGSYDNBTG
I'm also working on this (inspired by the horned specimen in Shadow Keep) but I have to look at the proportions again, because I think it looks a bit goofy, doesn't it?
>>493331865thats uhhh not so good
>>493331865It just doesn't fit the look imo
>>493331865The cheekbones and nose are a little too broad. The eyebrows kinda point down at the outer edges too much imo, but then again lions and the Lion Dance mask do be like that. I just think they make it look sad.
>>493332085>>493332182True, I'll try something different tomorrow>>493333102I didn't touch the base helm (Divine Beast Helm that you get in Enir Ilim), I just added the horns
I don't know about you guys but I had 10x more trouble with Rellana than Radahn
>>493252424The Golden Vow item says that remains of those graced with gold become golden light. This is what is being emitted, now why Radahn has it (he burned red before Miquella left the gate) is another matter. Perhaps it's his soul returning, perhaps it's Miquella's newfound power entering him, maybe something else.All the flames are related, and likely all magic is as well. Metyr summons her microcosm with gravity magic, and gravity magic directly leads to glintstone sorcery by association. The Frenzied Flame is either an 'other self' of the GW, or perhaps just is the greater will. The FF is a black void surrounded by yellow fire. The gw is a blank void with a ring of gold around it.I subscribe to the 'sun is a black hole' theory for it in particular, but that doesn't help the Radahn part of the equation
Having below 51 poise in an invasions is a massive handicap right?
>>493334109not using heavy armor*
>>493309647More. There's one dedicated tranny who shits in here once a week at least trying to build a fanbase of simps
>>493259115Okay so since nobody else is really talking about it, I think the worms could hint that the Numen built the evergaols somehow. The worms around them probably used to shoot lasers too if the target ever escaped. They drop items linked to Farum Azula, indicating their age imo
ive been looking forward to playing this game today but im tired. ill play for 3 hours then go to sleep im thinkin
>>493260412All things can be conjoined. All magic ultimately seems to arise from life force itself. The crucible is the most obvious manifestation of this, and the gate of divinity the unfortunate consequence. This is why life and death are such important concepts. From Death one obtains power. But all life comes from the stars ultimately, so glintstone is also a thing.In terms of power, in the modern ER era Glintstone sorcery is on the rise, and rivaled the power of the Golden Order, so GO and maybe Crucible incants are equal to Carian sorceries.They're what I'd consider the top of the main branches, there's a reason Ranni can make an age of the Stars in the first place. Beyond sorcery, the stars control fate itself, which can allow for loopholes like Sellen's immortality, or Ranni's fate overriding the will of the Fingers.Now beyond the two public ones are the more interesting ones. Anything to do with the black flame is going to be dangerous to immortals. I'd say it's tied, if not slightly below the Giant's Flame of Ruin. The only thing in the known world that can burn the Erdtree. It requires Melina's kindling to work, but it does burn something unburnable, dictated by the Elden Ring itself. These represent I think the strongest forces in the game that don't include outer god shenanigans.What sorceries in particular do you mean?
>>493269808I've started wondering the same thing. I heard it described once that the Golden Order 'colonized paradise'. With the Lamentor's visage being described as a 'denizen of paradise', and it's nature as a horned being, the mind starts to wander. My current theory is it's an in between place. Like a dream world, but also not. A place between the spirit divine world and the material. Perhaps that's more purgatory than paradise though. Maybe that's why the hornsent were so obsessed with perfecting themselves into minor deities. Proving themselves worthy of proceeding to the next level so to speak.
>>493280478I largely agree with what you wrote. I don't view it as Marika's redemption though, more atonement. She's realized the error of her ways and is prepared for justice to find her in whatever way that is. We are that justice in a sense, the ones who have righted her wrongs on her behalf, and the Lord in waiting.For Miquella it gutted me that they chose to portray their worlds incarnation of kindness into a, well.. that. But the way you portray it is very thematic, and may be my new go-to interpretation. Letting fear, not ambition, be his downfall, it feels much more right. I think his first and final True mistake was sacrificing his love, and Trina, which I think are the same event. In a way he sacrificed himself. His ego, but not by accepting it and integrating it, but by removing and shunning it. He didn't grow or learn in any capacity, nor did he find new strength in himself, but he let his fears win, like you said.I suppose Ymir was right. A tragedy if ever there was one> Miyazaki is cunnypilledYou will have a cute immortal shota and you will like it!
>>493301917Radagon.That artist ships their tarnished with Radagon. And sometimes depict their tarnished as a bunny, don't ask why.
>>493296059Yeah... I still wish we got the shining example of a possible future rather than another look at our ugliness. The GO had that enough, I wanted to see the kindness of Gold done right, by a figure obsessed with helping people, and sacrificing himself to do it along the way. To basically say 'kindness failed' is not a great message imo
>>493338014I hate that, personally. There's a modern tendency toward cynicism and being a piece of shit, and then patting yourself on the back for "depicting life as it really is", but no. You're not. You're just wanking over your tilted vision of the world because you never dated a girl in high school.
>>493299083Be the person Miquella believes you can be
Miquella was never a good person, his "kindness" was always a lie and even without the Griffith parallels it was obvious it was gonna be revealed he was always a cunt.Never trust a twinkNever trust a retard with mind control
>>493337612Miquella is still the incarnation of kindness and best boy. It's why the writing this time around didn't feel too resonant to the collective and why the lore community went dark for weeks following the DLC's release.Miyazaki was just attempting to add darkness where there was none and ended up fumbling the bag.
>>493338474I wanna spank Miquella.
>>493338173Oh my god it is. Like I GET IT, we suck, AND?! Instead of reminding me of what I am and we are, show me what we could be! Show our best, give us a goal post, an example. We know the dark, show us the light, a kinder world. The dlc in my mind dodged the question. Like they were scared of showing it almost, or afraid of making Ranni less popular, lol
WHY ARE CONSORT RADAHN'S SWORDS PAIRED COLOSSALS INSTEAD OF PAIRED CURVED GSWE ALREADY HAD PAIRED RADAHN COLOSSALSWE DIDN'T NEED 2 MOREMIYAZAKIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIII
>>493338671No, you're just a distrustful person who's been traumatized by your world that emphasizes immediate practicality over humanity.Miquella is good. He will always be good. He feels good. Trust his vibe.
>>493339494the better question is why the fuck is it two different swords instead of just being a sword with a stance ash of warI know you guys are incompetent as fuck but come on
>>493339379It's just annoying, man. It's like they always focus on the negative, and it pisses me off. I went out of my way to help everyone I met in the lands between, and I routinely help other players with bosses, and yet the game still fap to its own edginess, as if there's no hope at all.I find it ridiculous, it feels like a parody of the Souls school of having things be bad but still hopeful.
>>493339000Trips of supreme truth. It's like he forgot that the darkness of the DLC would have contrasted with Miquella's light already. Not everyone needs to be grey. I don't think I'm out of line saying that Dung Eater is completely and utterly evil. There is no light with him. The opposite of one like him, someone who inflicts his disease on others would be one that cures others. A character of complete light.I'm just... So disappointed in it. And for what. What more did we learn about Miquella beyond Radahn? He's a good guy who's a smooth talker and he wants to be a god. That's everything we already knew about him. Why does he need the gate to make Unalloyed Gold work when it already did? Why the sudden hard turn into fastracking Marika's path when he firmly saw the error in Radagon's path? How was he so perceptive with him but not her? It's like he became way WAY stupider for the duration the DLC to make the finale make sense. Like ffs
>>493339559No, I'm actually incredibly trusting person with very little traumas in my life and good relations with my family.Miquella was never a trust worthy person. You know how I know? Because everyone kept telling me he was a trust worthy person, but everything he was involved in was a shitfest.Anybody who claims themselves a champion of the downthroten is a snake looking for nests to feed on.
>>493339689It's Dany turning evil all over again. Grrm can't seem to stay away from nearly perfect works that have a limp finale. In both cases it feels like it wasn't his fault but the devs
>>493339574>boss fight sucks>lore sucks>no voice lines, no ending, just a blender cutscene of Miquella talking about sucking gay cock or whatever>shitty rewards (2 copy paste colossal greatswords with the same exact moveset as the base game Radahn swords, and a genuinely worthless incantation that can't hit a boss if the world depended on it)Is Slopahn the worst boss of all time?
>>493339689Miyazaki basically resorted to his usual bag of tricks when writing, which is basically a religious moral relativism. Thing about Miquella is he's just good all the time. His goals require him to be good always on a metaphysical level, and resurrecting a dead demi-god using someone's corpse would immediately depolarize his positive energy and prevent him from having any of the incredible charm he has.The jig is up for Miyazaki the moment the innocent fairy shota who draws flowers on his twin sister's prosthetics is made into a villain. It's silly to the point of parody.
>>493340048And Dany turning evil wasn't apparently his idea but the show's writers'.I wonder if he's cursed to have his writings turned in mediocre edgy crap by retards who got bullied at school.>>493340342>It's silly to the point of parody.Yes. And I'm so angry about it...
So when's From gonna fix all these connection errors and summon issues.
>>493340549how long did it take them to fix those in dark souls 1?
>>493339993He never claimed anything. We know he is best boy without him even having a single line of spoken dialogue in the base game. Oh no! He hypnotized a bunch of people to.... go into a elven Minas Tirith pirched on top of a world tree. Oh no! He's such a narcissist who uses everyone to do his bidding... but has statues of him and Malenia embracing in a moment of weakness all around his tree.Just accept that the fairy shota is good bro. Again, the system at play in your world elicits a constant fight or flight response which makes you uncomfortable with relaxing, and believing the fairy shota. It's okay. Just breathe.
>>493339689But the game is actually extremely positive because it paints YOU as an UNSTOPPABLE BULLDOZER who RAPES AND KILLS gods, demigods, divine beings, warriors, divine-possessed warriors, divine warriors, warrior gods, and so on. No matter what they do you still WIN. From games are the most optimistic ones on the market.
>>493340995...well I didn't rape anyone. Sadly.And yeah, that's weird. Gameplay is all about cooperating to defeat literal gods, and then the DLC comes out and even the nicest guy in the setting is retconned to be an asshole.
>Crucible>symbol is a spiral (from hornsent incantations to crucible AoWs, it's all about spirals)So... the Crucible is DNA. That's the spiral.
>>493341207Shabriri was right, everyone is an asshole because life was born out of differences and different things will wage war against each other out of principle. Life is rotten from the roots. We gotta burn it all down and shit.Also it's funny how Miquella ended up being arguably the biggest asshole of all the demigods since due to cocklust he caused half the continent to be nuked with scarlet rot, raped Mohg who was actually a decent guy and later raped his corpse too, then revived Radahn's soul and put it in Mohg's corpse to rape it (and that's rape because Radahn fought against Malenia when she came to convince him to mating press Miquella). What a deranged gay faggot.
>>493339853A world of poo poo where everyone becomes stinky forever won over the golden shololi rebis boywife ending where we address every existential problem within the setting and get cunny. Never forget and never let the spirit of the Frenzied Flame prevail again in the spirit of the collective.
>>493340342> His goals require him to be good always on a metaphysical levelGod someone who fucking gets it! Faith has power. Knowledge has power. Emotion has power in this world. Kindness isn't just a nice thought or a good deed, it's a magical force that given time and care could rival the powers of glintstone and the the golden order.It explains why it can cure ailments imposed by an outer god (who are born from negative emotions), he essentially forces something positive onto a negative force like you said. The only problem is not many are kind and so it's power is only beginning. Miquella should have been the god that let all things flourish whether graceful or malign, because the flaw of the golden order was that it discriminated life and death, and blessings in life, and absolution after death
>>493340837your mindtricks have no effect on me since I'm not a faggot. Caving in his skull is better than he deserves
Hey, did you know about Radahn's horse?
>>493341234By the way I called the connection between Miquella/spirals/DNA/Crucible 2 years so you better listen to me
>>493324776Finally some representation for us afflicted with scoliosis
>>493342058I accept your concession. Also if you don't find Miquella attractive you're gay.
>>493342085You mean putrescent knight's horse
>>493340342the tarnished is the villain
>>493341680No, the spirit of Shabriri is one of anti-natalist ideologues who were once traumatized by rejection or seeming imperfection of the existing world.He uses a spiritual truth, all things having the same Source, and contorts it by saying we're not one with everything right now so we have to return to oneness by destroying everything.Whereas an awakened one like Miquella would say we're already one with everything, and to harm another is to harm ourselves. In addition, to heal another is to heal oneself. This is what he discovered in the post-Radagon Golden Order with the Law of Causality and Law of Regression.
>>493343583>to harm another is to harm ourselvesSounds like Jesus.
Did you know Radahn's named Leonard?
>>493344082No, retard. Leonard is his horse.
>>493342010Yes, this is essentially what magic is: passion and intention in varying forms.If Miyazaki fully understood what he was channeling with his fellow developers, the outcome of events in the Land's Between would end up very differently. The way our beautiful universe is structured is that we get what we give. Miquella gave the most out of all the demi-gods and extremely positively oriented to the extent that he avoided the ritual sacrifice the Erdtree is implied to necessitate through using his own divine blood. His ending being a happy one would be assured through the Laws of Causality, in a fashion that would resemble a linear cinematic RPG on the part of the Tarnished.
>>493344254Citation?
>>493344291What does my lust for Miquella's unspanked butt translate into, then? The Law of Causing Pain to Miquella's Butt?

Farum Azula = Ferarum Lazula - Skies of the Beasts [Latin, Lazula = Skies, Ferarum = Of the beasts (genitive of beast)]Enir-Ilim = É.NIR ILIM [Sumerian: the initial É is used to indicate temples, Nir means Lord, Ilim is genitive of IL which means GOD (see: El, Elohim, Allah) so Temple of the Lord (E.NIR) and the God (ILIM) -> "Remebrance of a God and a Lord"]Nokstella: Nox-Stella - Night-Star (Moon of Nokstella)Nokron: No - Kron(os) - No-Time (Eternal City)Caelid: from welsh Cae (field) + Lid (inflammation/wrath)Dragon names: from Latin, Placidus Sax(um): Placid Stone, Fortis Sax: Strong Stone (Mighty Boulderstone as he's called in-game), Lansseax -> Lancea Sax: Spear Stone, Floris Sax: Stone of the Flower, Senessax -> Senex Sax: Old Stone, Gransax... you can figure this out yourself

>>493340406The trick is to not get angry over the events in the DLC. If the DLC ended with Miquella marrying the Tarnished, as would've been most resonant and thematically appropriate, it would've helped created a great shift in the collective consciousness towards the light, to the positive polarity. Imagine all the Tarnished x Miquella art, the tattoos, the cosplays, the lore videos and just the overall positive shift of the gaming community in general in finally having a complete game that fulfills the deepest fantasies of those disillusioned with the world they live in. Millions of people who swear fealty to the golden rebis child and go about actualizing his Age of Compassion with renewed vigor.It is my personal belief from how this DLC is such a big departure in writing quality from Miyazaki, and how it has not even a semblance of the same spiritually cohesive quality the base game had, that the game was sabotaged mid-development and derailed from it's true direction.The worst thing we can do if our objective is to help the spirit of Miquella prevail over the Shabriri spirit that enshrouded From when they made this DLC is to add more negative energy to the collective by harboring resentment.The best thing we can do is grant this DLC unconditional love even as it repulses us, appreciating the catalyst for growth that it is in making us discover how terrible the alternative is, and how out of tune it is with our ideal reality. Thank it for it's service, and do all you can in your daily living to ensure the spirit of Miquella prevails in all that you do.
HOLY SHITFUCK THE SCADU AVATARI CAN'T SEE SHIT IN THIS DUMBASS FIGHT
>>493345827cool
Has anyone else had performance issues with the DLC? The Rellana fight has my frames stuttering like crazy... Maybe my system is just too out of date
>ledabatshit crazy>freyjaunironically looks like a troon >dragon ladyshe looks like an argonian I'm just upset that the DLC had no true waifus.
how true is this? i've had people use this on me before but i'm never sure if it's actually a true combo or if i just didn't roll in time
>>493345283i mean i get it, yeah he's really good but i would probably block him immediately
>>493346197Sounds schizo lol, but thankfully I'm all in on this kind of thing. I largely agree with your analysis and conclusion. The best way forward is to *be* the light as best we can. I also appreciate the reminder to not let the monkey mind (monkey emotion?) gut-reaction of giving hate or disdain to the dlc and instead taking it as the lesson it is with appreciation. I have a habit of doing so, but I'm getting better at it. This game set me down a path of self exploration and discovery, and dare I say spirituality in a way that scant few ever have.
>>493344935The Storm Lord is Placidusax. In japanese "Storm Lord" is only mentioned for the sword monument and for the banished knight ashes, who have dragon helmets and are found in Farum Azula.
Godfrey was a beastman (he has the beast claw moveset and his axe has the same "squid" patterns as beastman cleaver).Serosh is to Godfrey what Trina is to Miquella. His other half, split from the main person.
>>493348252Nah I think he was a divine lion dancer candidate. Serosh is his 'beast'
>>493347927placidusax locked his ass away from time after the bayle incident godfrey never met him
>>493347171>she looks like an argonianThat makes her a waifu
>>493348330You would insert your penis into this thing?
>>493348317But he has no horns
>>493348717I would insert my penis so far into that thing you'd have to pry me off of her with a crowbar
>>493345149Uooooh, damn brat (ꐦ ಠ皿ಠ )>>493346197I'm just pissed. I was already doubting about getting the DLC or not since I never beat them anyway, but now that the story contradicts the base game... no.
Should I fight Bayle with the Dragon Katana?
>>493348317Hmm. What if... the seduction and the betrayal refers to Marika seducing Hoarah Loux (a sculpted keeper) who then betrayed Enir-Ilim by becoming Marika's Lord (and her becoming the God) at the Gate of Divinity? Crazy shit
>>493349198yes, it's his stormruler
>>493349054You can't actually do that you know
hornset horns are HPV
>>493349840hpv?
>>493349364Hmmm interesting. It does seem like the god can somewhat control the form the vessel takes, as Mohg's body has little resemblance to his original self after Radahn inhabits it, aside from bloodflame and a few horns coming out of his bracers.Also the crucible-ness of Mohg and Morgott in general, and why Godwyn would have an affinity for lightning, like the dancing lion
>>493349054Not biologically possible
>>493347171Leda is perfect
>>493349364>>493348317>>493349936Beast claw>Weapon in the form of a carnivorous beast's vicious claws. Used to perform bestial slashing attacks uncanny to humankind. An imitation of the esoteric technique of the horned warriors. Those who carry this weapon wield it as though they have been possessed by a savage beast." And the moveset is the exact same as Hoarah Loux's moves. Holy shit. I am now almost 100% convinced that Godfrey was a sculpted keeper who was seduced by Marika.
>>493349890genital warts
>>493350535godfrey was hoarah loux, chieftain of the badlands. he was leading the bear hunters near marikas home.
is Adula's Moonblade worth the increased FP and Frostbite? Carian Greatsword seems to do more damage in a single hit while Adula does slightly less with both the sword and projectile combined, which I guess is supposed to be the trade off
Your honor, Miquella did nothing wrong, Radahn and Mohg consented. Finally, Miquella is perfect, therefore its impossible for him to of done anything wrong.
>>493348717Yeah, you wouldn't?Whoever manages to pull me out of her would be crowned the next king of England.
>>493342010The best wives.
How did Tragoth feel when (You) invaded him?
>>493351846Betrayed, He helped me with Radahn, He helped me with the magma dragon, then I attack him
>>493351846>wait your weakass needs all that help and now you think you can kill me?
I just finished the godskin duo around level 93 with +21 weapon. Am I underleveled for this dungeon? I just rushed so I can get that smithing bell.
>>493352102Quite, You should be ending it at 120+.
>skeletons start flying>start puking blue black gaswhat the fuck
>>493352352they smell bad okay
>>493342274Maybe she removed the rune of abundance because without death, the world would become overgrown and over populated.>>493339559He bewitches people and charms them to follow his will. Look at Ansbach's story about trying to kill Miquella and basically stopping mid swing because he was charmed. Look at how the other of his followers change their minds after the charm is broken. If he was really good, why would he need to charm people like that? If someone slips you Ecstacy before kidnapping you and holding you captive, does it make it okay?
>>493352545Why do you use a trip
>>493349364it does kinda feel grrm esque
I had no idea NPC summons increased boss max health no wonder I was struggling so much with Radahn I just wanted the knight to yell and stab him a bit
>>493346197tl;dr
>>493351613Weak cervix on the right
Am I bad or is the Radahn fight kind of bullshit since every other attack has holy beams following it up, some of them in a wide area?
>>493354750You're only bad if you can't beat him despite the bullshit. Radahn 2 is just retarded in general.
Is there any info on the bonny knife
>>493354706Not a cervix in sightOne's got no womb, the other lacks a womb.
>going through>farum azula>get to that one part where the ancient dragon is constantly casting lighting on the path between you and it>reach dragon>he jumps into the sky and evaporatesWhat the fuck? That's the first time I've ever seen that and I've been through here like 30 timesDid I activate the hidden second half of the game that nobody has been able to access?
reminder that Marika looks like thisDefinitely Messmer's mom... the other kids take more after Radagon
>invade rl90 seamless>everyone has 700 hp>invade rl138 seamless>everyone has 800 hp>invade rl165 seamless>everyone has 600 hp
>>493355576Miquella has a womb though
>>493342010Letting the malign flourish is bad, you retard. Evil must be destroyed.
>>493347171>>493350181it's actually crazy that every fucking comment thread on any post mentioning Leda on any social media site from 4chan to YouTube to Twitter will have someone saying she's hot and they want to fuck her. She's not a niche fetish character. Its universal.She's totally asexual in-game with zero mentioned romantic or sexual interests. She's totally desexualized in appearance, constantly clad in heavy armor. She never even takes off her helmet in-game. If you didn't hear her speak you'd have no way of even telling her gender. At least other thirst traps like Ranni and Malenia have generally appealing appearances (on top of their strength and voices) and gap moe moments that you could kind of headcanon into them being good partners.But apparently Leda's voice, combat prowess, and especially her sheer insanity are hot to people. It's not even just "oh she's so hot I don't even care that she's crazy." No, the craziness (and again, accent and ability to kill things) is the whole appeal. She has nothing else to her (unless you admire her drive). She CAN'T have any physical appeal because again she never takes off her armor, nor any inherent kindness/affability appeal since she's perpetually suspicious and dismissive of your character. It's literally just "the mere idea of a psychotic murderous woman who has the strength and inclination to act on it is hot, I want to have sex with that."Genuinely psychologically fascinating.
>>493356312what about vanilla invasions?
>>493346197Hey, remember how the final boss of the game was you finishing the job of caving the Rebis's head in as retribution for it ruining the entire world? In what world did you think the little one was any different?
>>493356515One of the first dlc preview was an image of her without her helmet, and I think a lot of people waifued her before the dlc came out just on the basis of her being a good looking female who helps(or so we thought) the protagonist
>darkmoon greatsword just lets you lob pure magic charged heavies at enemiesgod this weapon is so fucking busted, it's great
>>493356805that image only showed like a third of her face and gave very little to go on other than that she was blonde.
carian slicer feels like it does nothing to godskins what the fuck
>>493356515Marika is barely shown in-game either yet she has tonnes of sexual artwork.
>>493357173I've never used it
>>493356646unplayable on vanilla pc
>>493356515>>493357305The blonde white woman attracts countless third world gooners
>>493356515>She's totally asexual in-game with zero mentioned romantic or sexual interestsAs if it ever stopped people...
>recently start NG+>blast through all the game pretty easily only really have a few deaths towards the end game>do the DLC too but manage to beat most DLC bosses fairly quickly too albeit not nicely>get to haligtree and look foraward to fighting malenia as I've done her online in co-op loads and feel pretty confident with her now>proceed to die numerous times again mostly just to waterfowl dance againI really don't get why they never balanced this move better, it really does ruin an otherwise alright fight, like a lot of times I'm using deaths poker and I go to punish with the ash or war or charge carian piercer and malenia will zoom up into the air and I'm like "shit I've had it" because I can't cancel the animaltion and there's a massive delay on holding circle to when you actually start running, like all they needed to do was add a few seconds before she actually launches into the attack to give the player a chance to do something.Also her piercing strike move is stupid too, its easy to dodge mostly but holy fuck I have been caught by it where I roll past her to her her ass to avoid it and she does a 270 degree turn and still hits me. Honestly surprised there's not a community patch or mod to improve so many of the boss fights in the game.
Radahn NOT reciprocating Miquella's vow is the most reddit take ever.
>>493356515>why does this 10/10 noblewoman that looks like a Saber clone appeal to people?Maybe Vaati can solve this mystery for us.
>>493356515You seem upset
I think I'm running into problems. My damage output feels like its not keeping up, Carian Slicer is not destroying everything anymore. I think I need more INT and FTH to increase my incant scaling but I'm already so low on VIG...
>>493360763If you're at 80 INT and carian slicer is not keeping up then I doubt much else will unless you spec into bleed. Frostbite is very useful though for a mage, proc that then carve out chunks from whatever with CS after.
>>493360249>a femboy being an evil faggot and mindraping a big guy that wanted nothing to do with him is somehow the reddit takereddit is where troons and faggots congregate, the consenting line is absolutely their take
>>493360907I'm level 60 on an INT/FTH run nigga
Is it some next level dmg minmaxing where players remove frostbite from boss like right after its applied? Wouldn't the extra dmg from lower dmg abs be better than another proc?
>>493361185it is better to keep the frost on 90% of the time unless your target is weak to frost and you have a high status buildup weapon
>>493361082it really is that easy to expose redditors
>>493361185Its a retarded reddit meme, keeping the frost up is almost always better and its not even close. If you wanna play bleed, just play bleed.
>>493360483>10/10 noblewomanYou never see what her face and body look like in-game. It's all headcanon. People just love her ability and willingness to kill.
>>493361185Basically they're stupid. Fire removes (PROCED) frost build up, so they treat it like bleed.
>>493361082t. r/eldenring mod
>>493361976
>>493362069what world do you live in where redditors hate faggots?
>>493361976No. She gets most of her face shown in a DLC teaser image, and like all NPCs has a fully modeled face under her helmet that Youtubers dig out less than 24 hours after release to plaster everywhere.Unironically her being almost a complete Saber clone is 100% intentional and for marketing/popularity purposes. Her design is super popular and similar to what >>493359172 pointed out, is seen as one of the epitome of "hot blonde foreign girl" character designs in Japan. There's no great mystery here, it's just marketing working as intended. All those people are SUPPOSED to be going "omg seiba awooooga!!!" because that's what she was designed to do.
>>493362345plenty of redditors hate faggots - half the miga movement got its momentum from there, most of them didn't just leave
>>493362686cope
Was only around 5-10 hours left to beat the dlc and the base game in seamless campaign and were going to beat it tonight, but the person I'm playing with's internet has gone out and won't be up for another half a week. I'm going to cut myself I'm so mad
>>493362345Its not that they hate faggots. Its that they're sweaty nerds who don't think anything good can ever happen.
Why exactly Radagon feels so different? Like he attacks slow and then suddenly hammer is at your face? Feels like slow swing, slow, slow, then instantly fast and I rolled like it is a slow swing
>>493357305
>>493363025That image is so funny and cute
I woke up in a semi-conscious stupor clinging to my pillow and genuinely, in the bottom of my heart, as surely as I think the sun shall rise tomorrow, thinking it was Marika. I was deeply upset when I came properly into the waking world and saw that it was not.
>>493361385>>493361672>>493362001yeah makes sense. i thought there was some vaporize mechanic i was missing out on lol
>>493363378I sometimes have my friends hug their pillow and then I hug mine and we pretend like the pillow is eachother, that way it's like we're hugging eachother for real and it's basically equivalent. Could work similarly
>>493363117Why are Americans like this?
>>493356515I will fix murder saber
IT'S OUThttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NY5EPn20mfw
>>493356515I'm not reading all of that
>>493356515Is it really that weird to like a "psychotic murderous woman who has the strength and inclination to act on it"? I just dig her.
Don't you DER approach Miqueller the Kind.
>>493365526*approaches you*
>>493367485Oh? You're approaching me?
>>493367530I cant kick Mikes ASS without approaching you.
>>493367659Oh ho? Then come as close as you'd like. And let me take pictures.
It is crazy how they paint Miquella as this evil villain baby when more than half of his original followers remain even after finding out that his enchantment has broken, which is surreal if they had hated the guy.Also surprisingly, His great rune has the power of resisting charms, which explains why he is free from every outer gods influence and his unalloyed gold makes even more sense. Maybe his gold needles have a part of his rune which stops the interference/charm of Outer Gods.What I dont get it is how he's able mindrape even after discarding his great rune? If mindrape wasnt linked to great rune, It being broken should not have affected the enchantment. There's also those cutscenes from the trailer which don't appear in the game..
>>493367751Thanks luv that boy had it coming. *smooch*
>>4933678301 stays loyal only because she's loyal to Radahn.1 stays loyal out of obsession.1 stays loyal out of depression (and the fact he was happy with Miquella)1 stays loyal for unknown reasons, WHY DOES DANE DO ANYTHING?Hornsent goes rogue-ish (well, he hates mesmer, but doesn't go against miquella).Thiollier doesn't go against miquella, he just follows his queen sleepy bish.Sir Ansbach is the only one that TRULY goes rogue.
>>493368128And I'd stay loyal out of lust.
I am super confused. Metyr was such a piss easy boss. First attempt. Dealing a lot of damage. Easily stance broken. There are many mobs more difficult than this.
>>493368567>Metyr was such a piss easy bosst. never had a burning sensation when peeingStop being so entitled to easy piss, some of us have trouble aiming, and then it burns horribly.
>>493365526>don't you dare approach miquella the ki-AIEEEEEEEEEEEE
>>493368567He wasn't as hard as I thought he would be, but the sideways walk move he does that hits you multiple times was a pain in the ass, I could never dodge that unless I was far enough away to be out of range of it.
>>493369371I have no idea. I won basically in 20 seconds. In reality maybe like a minute or a minute and a half, but that's because after I took half of its life almost immediately it started doing some huge AOE attacks and it took a while before I could attack again. It was nothing compared to any other "main boss". More like a dungeon one.
>>493369618metyr and the sunflower were both 1st tries for me. easy but fun bosses
>>493370769Sunflower is 1st try for BASICALLY everyone.
>>493370950Huh? Am I that bad at the game? Sunflower took me a few tries. The fight had horrible optimisation and the fps drops were unbearable.
Why the fuck are there no large thrusting somber weapons that scale with int.There are 2 Colossal weapons that do, 6 Colossal swords (7 if you count both of Lord Radahn's swords), and 2 fucking HALBERDS that do. But no Spear (minus smithscript), greatspear, or heavy thrusting sword.
>>493372151Why do you care?Magic ashes are strong and you get most of them early in the game.
>>493372530Because I don't want to use Ice Spear for the 8th time, Spinning weapon is meh, and hoarfrost stomp SUUUCKS now.
>>493372608go to the dlc and get yourself Carina sovereignty
>>493372151Death Ritual spear? I mean it has shit scaling with int but it has some, if you're going mainly INT though you'll be using the AoW.
>>493372925Oh fuck I forgot that.
>>493372660>>493372925Ended up going with Smith axe with Raptors infused with ice, though I might swap over for the backhand blades... they look fun and scale better with int and dex which is what I use with my ice perfumes.
>>493372608Glintstone Peeble is unironically very good, and has a giga thrust follow-up that hits pretty hard when used with bigger weapons.Carian Grandeur is also very easy to get early and goes well with HTS(gets the same hyperarmor values as greatswords).
>>493373059why do you care about int so much?are you euphoric about your IQ?ARE YOU JEWISH OR east ASIAN?
>>493373140BECAUSE RANNI IS BEST WIFE and I want to get as much damage out of the ice perfume as I can, which requires 60/60 int/dex, though I think It scales to 80/80
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jInuGRwCgnwDamn, that's quite the cake Melina is packing
>>493369371>He
The combination of Leda's Armor, the running attack talisman, and the two-handed talisman makes invading with Colossals a lot more bearable.These 1k running attacks are pretty good for punishing heals.
>>493254881ALL OF THEM are roll slop. So fucking annoying. Feel like I'm gonna ruin my space bar with how much rolling you have to do.
>>493376474rollslop more like raptorslop i aint learning your shitty timings faggot
>>493341207Miquella was always a manipulative shit. I called that literally from day 1. The Trina branches are the biggest tip off that his whole deal is mind controlling people to be loyal to him. There's no reason why Malenia would call him the most fearsome Empyrian. The only way he could be a threat is by being able to mind control.
>>493377661Nobody care what you think. Go back to wanking about Columbine.
Summoned for Promised Faggot Radahn. I'm too old for Miyazaki's bullshit.

Really says a lot about you that can't imagine loyalty without mind control.
imagine miquella suddenly sitting on your lap in complete childlike innocence, in his mind he's just sitting on your lap to be closer to you, nothing more. meanwhile your head is filled with lustful thoughts as you smell his sweet fragrant hair and feel his super soft, marshmallowy thighs on your lap. he smiles and giggles while you're sweating bullets trying to prevent your erection from bursting forth and ruining the moment. miquella begins leaning on you and you can feel his light, soft and pale body squishing up against your hard tarnished muscles. he looks up at you sweetly and you could no longer contain it, your erection has escaped and lifts miquella's white, sheer dress. you can either now place your fate in the demigod's hands or ravage him, destroying his sweet purity.this is what malenia was dealing with all day for most of her life, which is why miquella is the most fearsome empyrean
>>493253717probably the best status effect it's too bad blackflame blade is shit. the gargoyles sword l2 is better

>>493349936What if Hoarah Loux was just a highlander who hunted bears and used bear divine invocation so well he was noticed by the Hornsent and taken to Enir-Ilim to become a divine warrior?

I'm ESL, what does "sculpted keeper" mean? Keeper of what? Sculpted in what sense?
I can't use blackflame blade against radahn because there's not enough time to buff every 9 seconds and then swap back to the greatshield.
>>493382058Sculpted in the sense of being strong/muscular. Keepers of the tower (they stop you from reaching Enir Ilim).
>>493380842I figured, since the streamer I heard it from is English (spit).Thank you.
>>493382058>>493382765'Sculpted' in the manner that a statue venerating an entity (like a god), thus "Divine" Beast.

>>493386721Raw R1 damage in this game is sad. Spamming L2 or powerstance jumping L1 isn't any less braindead than spamming R1 but no we can't tweak anything this is what the game is now. Guard counters don't fix anything because you have to wait out the combo to not get punched out of your animation as is the case with any other attack, the window of opportunity doesn't change depending on what you want to use. Parries only work on designated enemies and bosses (and got nerfed) so you're ultimately stuck doing the tedium tango no matter what.
>>493388690Queen of Naggaroth.
>>493388415Is this Artoria?Also I find first fase way more hard than a second one
>>493389323I played Scholar in 2020 and I don't remember this being the case at all. I saw summon signs everywhere, got invaded often, did co-op, did Iron Keep duels, tried out both arenas, I even got summoned multiple times to assist the mirror knight within the same day when I tried it.
>>493389323DS2 online is still alive accoridng to chudlosky though
We need a melina boss fight
>>493389323You can still easily find randoms in DS2 because EVERYONE can be invaded. Even if 500 players are doing DS2, you will find invasion targets.Soul memory is trash, but still.
>Gaius sword-lance>is actually a thrusting sword>has no sword moves, no slashing moves at allguh
>>493392412It's a shitty concept just like the boss
A new Freiren adventure! What future holds?..
If you use any scadutree frags during your dlc run you did NOT beat the game and you're a failure at life.
Great Katanas are OP as fuck god damnI just tried one out on a strength build and its unbeatable.
>>493389323DS2 is still active on PC only but it's mainly old faggots around 40+ and cucks who have no life outside of their terminaly online persona's
>>493392671The amount of you unimaginative simpletons i've invaded in the last months is staggeringFuck's sake, there's a billion of fun fantasy anime
>>493242816>>493389323The only people still playing DS2 and DS3 are genuine schizophrenic people. DSR is dead.YouTube sometimes recommends me weird clips of people playing DS2/3 PvP and since pvpers keep invading the same people over and over again they have like beefs and feuds with each other and make videos calling each other out and shit. It is insane.
>Liurnia ganker troon with downscaled overleveled monstrosityOof
>>493393151I always want to do a Freiren as a archmage character who always cast the most huge spells
>>493392856I used mimic for every boss on attempt 1. I don't give a shit anymore.
Great knife + bloody slash + 45 arc minimum dex/str is severely underrated over 2k on a host who only had 1500 life lol
>>493393387>DSR is dead.No, it's not.
Suddenly! A red mage
>>4933955941 invasion every 6 hours is dead
>>493396225why do male players call their characters princess dency?
>>493396731Because she was Dency (a DS 2 character) and then she killed all the bosses many times and become the princess. Because she is a princess she does have 16 int, first one had 3 int
>>493390121Yeah. Phase 1 is definitely easier to eat some chip from a swipe, but phase 2 is better at outright murdering hosts.
I want to start invading again on PS in ~3 weeks, what rl should I go for to get decent activity and DLC invasions?
>>493396670More like every 30 seconds with the right mod
>>493377661This guy gets it. Someone who uses charms and mind control to win love isn't good. Even if Radahn consented, which is ambiguous, what about Mohg? It says in game that he wanted Miquella to start a new dynasty with him, but not kill him and use his corpse as a vessel for another brother.The Elliot Roger posts are the most ironic, since he tried being a fucking pick up artist to get women. He was a manipulative shit that tried to project the image of a nice guy ("supreme gentleman,") but only in an effort to get what he wanted.
>>493397847>reddit spacing
Got my first summon as a blue at 155, and then another. I guess weekend's the time everyone's playing
>get to Bayle>fight with the camera>get him to second phase>camera goes insane>lose camera fightReally wish I was playing with a mouse at times like this.Didn't even find Igon's summon sign.
>>493400254It's a few steps forward and a little to the left after entering.
>>493397602Depends on what you're looking for?Invasions of any level are innately going to have Ganks so you shouldn't be surprised you're always going to be out gunned but if you want fun? RL 30 +3/1 weapons for twinks and if you want endgame (and avoid meta 150) go 115 25/10 invade everywhere dlc included otherwise go 150 and get even more stuff but die probably every other invasion. And if you want duels then 150 or 115
>>493400457Why 115? That sounds like a random invasion number below 150
Does anyone know if like if you kill Romina before messmer, then kill messmer and summon the hornsent, normally that would make the hornsent invade you, but if you skip his invasion by fast traveling to Romina's boss room and burn it and ignore the invasion, does he still show up during the final gank fight?
>>493400616115 invades up to 147, there was a chart here I forgot to save that gives the distribution of players between 80-200 I think in 10's usually most people don't stay at 140 they go straight to 150 but alot of players still hold 125-135 as fine for their build and overall experience so the distribution is good there and I've tested it myself, 115 is a great level for solid invades around the more fun areas and dlc access also
>>493400254>beat him on my third attemptHuhMy browser crashed from trying to choose a pic for this post.
Dlc is too easy because everyone is just beating the bosses on their third attempt
I want to kiss Malenia on the nose

She won.
I thought I was cheesing by playing mage until I saw that dying in 1-2 hits is not normal and I'm actually finished the game on hardcore.
>>493400254I don't understand how people play ANY 3d game with gamepad, it's fucking horrendous.
I spent all this time developing a backstory for my new Tarnished, planning a thematic build and their fashion, only to realise that the Title + Name I lovingly came up with is too long to fit without getting awkwardly cut off.
>>493408789When I had no idea what to expect playing the game for the first time, I was so sure this faggot was going to start moving and a health bar would appear. This area gave me so much anxiety.
Quite long ago, some retard here on /erg/ was shitposting about how Elden Ring (and all souls games in general) was mostly "chinese shit" and "chinese philosophy" and the western influence was mostly superficial.After watching this video https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=G7OabU3CtAc I'm starting to believe he maybe was onto something.
>>493410378I was certain this mf was going be a summoner piece of shit or something
>>493410598japanese (chinese) game has japanese (chinese) shit on it, no way?!
>>493410378>>493410603Also: these dudes, I expected (some of) them to come to life
Can you CE gestures in?I realised on my new playthrough that I missed out on Casual Greeting because I forgot to summon Tragoth before killing him via Volcano Manor.
>>493411781Yes but it's super finickyYou can't give yourself the item, in one of the tabs like characteribfo or playerstatus or something, there's one about gesturesYou find what number is associated it with the "Perforg gesture", then like change the Add Gesture to that number and then press the box and it'll give it to you
>>493412110this and you might have to enable the flag, i cant remember 100% if you do or not, but if you do its under parampatcher i think.
>wanna make a carian assassin themed character primarily using bhb>only int ash of war option is gravitasNow that I think about it, INT has fuck all for ashes of war. Especially ever since the glintstone pebble ash of war was nerfed. Really annoying.
that feel when no onyx lord armor
>>493369329>Needle Knight Leda, Dryleaf Dane, and our al-*splat*
At NG+7 Rellana does around 4x the damage of Radahn. Why does no one talk about that huh
>>493415523Ng+7 rellana is stronger than Ng radahn?that's common sense
>>493415635No no, she is stronger than NG+7 Radahn in terms of damage. I calculated the damage she did on me and a sword swing in her 2nd phase dealt 4x the damage of a Radahn swing. She still has less health (like half of Radahn) so it's balanced I guess.
why are crazy babes so hot?
Why did Leda kill or try to kill Hornsent and Ansbach. What possible threat could they really pose to Miquella?
>>493416503you're asking why the crazy bitch who killed the rest of miquella's knights for no reason wanted to kill hornsent and ansbach
>>493416650what about all the Knights of haligtree
>>493416503>Why did Leda kill or try to kill Hornsent and Ansbachshe's a serial killer
It's pretty cool how Ansbach's helm looks like an aged Raging Wolf
>>493416503>What possible threat could they really pose to Miquella?You can literally summon Ansbach to kill Miquella, and he already cut him in the past. If anything it's bizarre that he wasn't just killed immediately, makes me think that half the point of Miquella is that he's too merciful.
Is there any good infusable lightning ash of war?
There should be piss-based spells in the game. Piss sorceries are known to be very strong.
>>493419583thunderbolt
>>493419773Piss Toss
>>493419773All the miquella incants are piss based.
>>493419583BECOME THE FLASH
Who thought that hiding Golem Fist behind such a shitty miserable farm was a good idea
>>493420458same retard that hid craftable items behind a shit ass item farm
>>493420458I just learned this thing exists. What the fuck.
>>493419583Thunderbolt and Lightning Slash both seem goodThe ram one is funny and surprisingly effectiveBlinkbolt is okay but not having a follow up like the special versions kinda sucks desu
>fighting black knight right at the begining of rellana's area>use weapon art on it 3 times and stagger it>riposte>misstime dodge and get hit by shield slam>die from a 3/4 full health bar at 60 vigThe more I play this game the more I grow to detest every single aspect of it, I can't stop playing it because despite all the shit its fun, but I fucking hate it too. Its like having stockholm syndrome.
>>493419773Death stranding enjoyers understand.
>>493423252raise your skibbidi retardor at least uuse some fucking protection, black knights don't hit that hard
>>493423703I'm at 20 skibdi, this was while I was summoned so I have fucking idea what NG it was on and reasonably well armored too.
any chance we get a 2nd dlc over a new game?
>>493423852host probably had 0 skibbidis, i have never been hit that hard by any black knight, even the one at the bottom of the gravesite plain church guarding skibbidis
>>493423852Check your stats when you get summoned, you scale to the host's scadu level.
what's the lowest level that dlc coop is active?level 80 gets nothing
>>493423993Since from pr PR picking up again I think we may have a shot at dlc 2, but it's lore will at best be about litteraly whos
>>493423993Maybe they'll make a small Ariandel-sized DLC when the TV series comes out, bundled together to advertise each other.I'm sure they got plenty of cut content from the two DLCs they merged into SOTE, so they might salvage/recycle some of it into a new DLC. I don't think it's too unlikely.
>>493426253at this point i'd look forward to a self-contained literal who story more honestly
>>493426253>>493427556>>493427960My bet is if we get one, it'll be either based around death and Godwin or the badlands.I hope for the former.
are there any weapons with low stat scaling but decent base damage?
