Let's celebrate the countdown for the Tarnished Edition of Elden Ring with a storytime of some manga adaptations.Manga #1: Elden Ring: Distant Tales Between, is a collection of side stories about various Elden Ring characters like Patches, Rya, or Millicent. Generally comedic, it is an episodic series of stories without any real continuity between installments.Manga #2: Elden Ring: Road to the Erdtree, is a continuous comedy narrative about one Tarnished's misadventures on the way to becoming Elden Lord.Daily, starting between 1:00-2:00PM EST.Old Thread:>>287632181
I apologize for missing the last two days, router decided to burn out on me.
Deja vu.
I was worried SICK, anon
>>287805467Salud
Rennala was a pretty good mix up of the Maiden Astraea fight, imo. She does really feel pitiful and sad in the first half. Kinda feel like shit for beating on her.
And the twist.
A knight must even wager his dignity in his service.
>easy breezyI miss Eizouken.
Careful you might have a PTSD attack.
Size does matter.
Meli-Meli is a genius.
He's done it!
Aseo is a master baiter.
>muh copy skillOh no....
Wow, potential pseudocanonical characterization for Radagon!How rare!
Grim.
Clearly a very productive escapade.
>>287805358welcome back, I thought you were banned or something like that
>just when i thought i was out, they pull me right back inTime to go home, Tarnished Man. Back to Caelid.
No CreditsThat is all for today. Hopefully there'll be no more delays in the near future.Which NPC fight in the Souls series did you find to be the most fun? Which one was the worst? I quite liked Preceptor Miriam, myself. I think that one gatling gun hunter in Bloodborne was the worst.
>>287805599Those dudes always creep me out
Just checking in right now, might read along. I heard of this manga a while ago but never cared to pick it up. How's Godrick doing? I'm a fan of him and last I heard his boss fight was a cook-off in this manga.
>>287807187Godrick is getting his groove back. Probably will make himself half lobster.
>>287806432>Npc fightsIn a story sense Pate vs Creighton cause I get to kille Pate with Creighton. In a fight sense a bunch of ds3 npc battles are real fun when underleveled. Something like the first encounter with Holy Night Hodrick where you have to play around his sword stance that can chunk your hp if you attack at the wrong time. Also healing yourself using his own warmth cast when on low hp. Fighting Creighton on the bridge or Hodrick in the pit with Sirris is also good.>>287807322A lobster head would be good considering the sniping capabilities but he really should rush some wings. I mean he even has wind generation with his axe that could be used to assist flight.
>>287806371Do we know how Caelid looked before the rot nuke? Like any descriptions or paintings, maybe even concept art?
>>287808590Big Giddy calls it the 'Caelid Wilds', so I assume it was more rural and wilderness-like than the rest of the continent. Maybe?
>>287805883Pre nerf Carian Retaliation would've one shotted him
>>287806371Controversial opinion but Caelid's not THAT bad. I mean, yeah, shit's fucked with all the rot and giant dogs and birds. Not to mention the rot, the giant flinging giant pots at you, one of the nastiest dragons in the game, and the rot.But the real shit sandwich is Greyoll's Dragonbarrow, with its enemies scaled to endgame just a short leap away from the pleasant Caelid warmth
>>287806261>be Rennala>born heiress to a prestigious house>encountered a magical full moon on a certain day>used your big beautiful "moon" to seduce the virgin nerds at the local academy and seized control of it>also elevated your house to true royal status>defended your territory against the neighbor's aggression twice, despite massive numerical disadvantage>this neighbor eventually sued for peace, and sent their hottest champion(?) to apologize and marry you>had 3 children with said guy, all accomplished in their own right>your daughter was even chosen as a potential successor to the God Queen of the neighboring country, which, if happens, could unify both territories and powers under your house>the peak of life is herebut>one day your husband suddenly left you for the blondie girl next door>he took the children and even the dowry sword with him, and left you nothing but a weird egg thingy>your sister abandoned the family to romantically pursuit the son of the home wrecking blondie>the virgin nerds at the academy you once dominated rebelled against you during your moment of weakness>they put you under house arrest indefinitely, now you're alone in a library with the weird egg thing>your children didn't care enough to free you or at least pay a visit>your eldest son grown into a homo incestous paedophilic warmonger>your other son turned blasphemous and fed himself to a snek because god know why, he also committed all manner of atrocities, giving birth to grotesque abominations>your daughter developed massive daddy issues, plot to murder one of her step brother then killed herself >she stuffed her soul into a sex doll, spreading her "dark moon" to any subhuman Tarnished that looks her way>this daughter later sent her goons to kill her own big brother>your ex husband might have only married you to train his INT and steal your magical knowledge for his fundamentalism bullshit>"he" was a "she" all alongman they did Rennala dirty
>>287809111That is the fate of a lot of good and honest nerdy girls that think they won at life and start settling down into a nice domesticity, having their man stolen away by some rich and abusive dark triad bitch who already ran off their own man long before.
>>287808590I remember reading it was jungley, but I'm not sure where I got that from.
>>287805860creepy
>>287809111That is what INT builds deserve.
>>287808937Those were the good old days. When the Soul Mass spells were as good as they were in DS3, if not better.
>>287809343Unexpected elden ring yuri.
>>287806432Thanks OP, glad to have you back.Fuck Lautrec and his gank squad.
>>287812305In DS1 it is particularly bad for how easy it is for you to get fucked by the janky movement and gangbanged to death in a scenario like that.
>>287805599So does the kid cutscene actually nibble your boots, or do you just bump into him?
>>287813060I'm pretty sure the little dude is trying to take a bite out of your toesies.
>>287812493Everyone needs a snakewife in their life.
>>287806432Shadow of the Erdtree ganksquad is my fav, on account of the dialogue during and how occupants change based on your quest completion.worst was the bloody crow of Cainhurst, whom I killed without knowing the cheese
>>287806432Thanks for the dump OP. Favorite NPC fight is with not-saber Leda.
>>287809111Don't forget the best part, "he" was the home wrecking blondie all along
This dude is a legit outstanding artist.
>>287814781Wait i thought this whole time they were seperate people that eventually fused to do their bullshit scheme
>>287814813Literally no one knows. He could just be an aspect of Marika, he could have been a random guy that she liked a lot, he could have been someone that got shoved in a hornsent jar with her and stayed around, etc.
>>287806432Preceptor Miriam was good, yeah. I like the Forlorn invasions. If that doesn't count, Licia's invasions are cool too. I wish they did more scripted NPC invasions, and made them less like boss fights and more like real invasions. Just imagine if Moongrum invaded you in graveyard area and could chase you up the waterwheel, and then invaded you again in the plaza outside the debate parlor. Wouldn't that be great? It would make the sort of semi boss fight with him much more satisfying, because now he's not just some guy in the way, but a bastard you are finally able to have a fair fight with.>>287809049It's double bullshit because that's where the Divine Tower is, so players are naturally going to head that way after defeating Radahn.
>>287809111She has a sister? Who is it?
>>287814402Is better when the snake is on the outside than on the inside
>>287815083The DS2 DLCs had some of the most memorable invasions I've seen.
>>287815581>behind on the storytimes>keeping track of the threads by having them open with the images expanded, have the most recent one at the bottom so I don't constantly see notifications of new posts>sort of just skim over most posts because I haven't played Elden Ring, but actually read this specific postHoly fucking SHIT>that one retard who uses a crossbow even at melee range>that one recurring horrible horrible rat bastard>at low health he runs all the way to the bottom of an enemy-filled tower when he sees you>it is very difficult to stop this, you very likely have to deal with this horror show somehow before he despawns>then the next time you're just searching for friends to unlock for the DLC boss>you meet one of those friends and he goes along with you>except not really, it's just this shit-eater in disguise, he'll try to backstab you when you're pulling a lever or if you took too longEven as someone who liked DS2 for many other reasons, Maldron the Assassin is probably within the top fucking 3 of fun and memorable experiences. I'm more flabbergasted from his immoral behaviour than I am with most in-lore bosses and their movesets, the fact that an invader was coded to be such a giant fucking asshole, in the same way that an actual player might be, was such a daring but hilarious move.
>>287815132Did you play the DLC? She has the dumbest name ever, Rellana.But the fight is otherwise fantastic. Loved her armor, if not for it having titty cups even when worn by men. I played a female character on a second playthrough of the DLC, just so I could wear her armor and not be weird.
>>287815779Maldron is great, fuck that guy. I have a Seed of a Tree of Giants on hand just for you, you bastard. I had a visceral reaction when he showed up again in Ivory King.Honorable mention to the Sunken King DLC for putting us on the wrong side of a Jester Thomas encounter.
>>287815779>he'll try to backstab you when you're pulling a lever or if you took too longAnd if you avoid that and attack him, he runs away and jumps down a ledge, right in front of a cave where an Avaricious Demon is hidden.>>287816038>he wrong side of a Jester Thomas encounterI only wish they didn't block the door, so that you could run out to the water, only to be jumped by one of those t-rex things. That would have been funny, and added a nice dynamic to the fight.
>>287808590>>287808680>>287809351It still looked a burnt desert shithole in the intro cinematic before rot bitch nuked Radahn, so I think it's always been a shithole with maybe less hostile rot rabid wildlife
>>287815779I really did like how much personality the NPCs had in DS2, it gave the game a lot of charm.
>>287805791Imagine how incredible a serious manga by this guy would be.Also, I fucking love the Carian Knight's Sword guarded heavy.
>>287816317I mean, at that moment it was a battlefield, given how Melenia had to adjust herself to fight Radhan, I pressume she had to havk her way to reach him, soo I an willing to say it looked like that due all the fighting and magic going around at that moment.
>>287816317I'm pretty sure we see the Whaling Dunes there, Radahn's arena, which seems not to be representative of Caelid as a whole.
>>287816983We got a bit of weirdness there because the cinematic looks exactly like the Radahn arena, but also Malenia was supposed to have exploded in the middle of Caelid which is super far away from there.
>>287817012We don't see her bloom, do we? Maybe she made a tactical retreat, and Radahn returned to the dunes to die on the beach.
>>287817069>We don't see her bloom, do we?That's the main thing we seehttps://youtu.be/K_03kFqWfqs?t=164
>>287817135Almost certainly just an instance of no one caring that much about the details when making the cinematic while the desert fight setting for Radahn was already planned out ahead of time. Not a big problem, really.
>>287817135Ah, then yeah, classic Elden Ring BS.>>287817236Damn big detail not to care about. Just shows how slapdash the story is.
>>287817319Here's the oldest Elden Ring map I dug up, apparently it leaked about a year before the game's release or so. In it, Caelid looks like it is all desert, with what could conceivably be the Heart of Aeonia structure in the bottom right. What it looks like they did, is work to make the region far more geographically diverse and possibly move things like the Heart of Aeonia to a more central location in the region. Even if that made the cinematic trailer accurate to the game's actual environment.
>>287816791I dunno. This guy seems to love comedy too much. There was another manga he made before this and it was a pure comedy too despite the serious-looking visuals. I think gags are just in his blood.
>>287817418lol this makes Stormveil look like Panama>>287817485Kinda reminds me of Cromartie in that regard.
>>287817418*less accurate to the game's environmentAccidentally a word
>>287805358I totally forgot about this daily...Guess the end of Cromatie daily just fucked my memory
>>287816038I literally hate him more than most evil bosses, he's great.>>Jester Thomas encounter in the DLCWait what happened, i only recall that the jester invader used fire(?) and was very difficult>>287816191That too, baiting you towards basically a miniboss>>287816617For me, Majula was home
>>287805956Cute Meli-Meli
>>287817840>forgetting about rya's dailyUnforgivable.
>>287806432Thanks OP
>>287805478I know its the name of the spell, but is really silly seeing Ranni saying "you deserve that Ranni's dark moon" is your own spell woman, why are you saying your name?
>>287808590There were towns there, speciallybthe sorcerer town, some smalls forest given we see either the burn out trees or completly consumed by the rot near the redmane fortress, also the bestial temple and the rise near it, they kinda show some relative clean patches of land with lots of alive trees, if we take that as reference the place seemed like it had quite the forest areas around it, there is also a minor erdtree so it couldnt be a full on desert.
>>287813060>>287813496The "sweeting" is trying to bite a chunk out of the Tarnished's foot/ankle/leg, they have an actual bite attack in the fight.
>>287805765>Ugh, this guy again...?Basically start uttering this for every single boss fight halfway through Elden Ring (and it continues into the DLC, pretty sure every fucking over used overworld boss has at least one more appearance in the DLC).
>>287806020>Thops, my man!Can't believe I've never seen that panel before
>>287814813I feel like at the very least, the fact that he "left" to be Elden Lord after Godfrey "left," means that by that point Radagon and Marika were a single being, such as they are. He was able to stay away from the capital as long as Godfrey was around to be Elden Lord, but once he left as part of Marika's master plan, now she needed to be back at the capital so Radagon did too.
>>287806307>>287806324>Moongrum not being a dickthe game needed more friendly people, man
>>287805664>Rennala will never grip your skull like a baseballwhy live
>>287817844I never played the dlc for 2maybe I should
>>287805478My moody moonwife is so cute when she's irritated!
>>287806020MY HERO's spell btw.
>>287809111>sent their hottest champion(?) to apologize and marry youI remain convinced that she captured him and she was the one demanding he marry her in exchange for peace.
>>287818182She's proud of her spell, man. If you invented a spell you'd stick your name in it every chance you got, too.
>>287819526You'll get the Dung Eater, and you'll be happy about it.
>>287817418Liurnia looks so nice there.>>287817844Jester Thomas is a summon for Mytha, and heavily implied to be the merchant explorer you meet in Iron Keep.
>>287819626It is really funny that they gave Ranni a straight tsundere rant in the middle of her questline.
>>287805883>>287805905>>287805931Can't believe he actually got me with this combo.I hate how relatable this is...
>>287805478Why is the writing so ass?
>>287822085Ranni is at least 2x as Chuuni as she is in this manga.I fail to see what the problem is.
>>287806020Tomar is a good boy.
>>287817418It is fun to see the old maps for the game. One place to see it is the map items you collect at the various roadsigns often retain artwork from older versions of the game. Here, you can see that originally, Redmane Castle was going to link directly to Radahn's arena, rather than having a teleporter. And that there'd be some type of rotted Minor Erdtree inside the arena that was instead removed.
>>287822690Limgrave seems to have been in pretty active development with a lot of changes made from the map item compared to the release map.
>>287822690>be me>fighting radahn>get hit, back off to heal>agro a rotted erdtree avatarHmmm... Some cuts were for the better.
>>287822773That would give the summons a purpose. They can fight the one boss, while you handle the other.
>>287821934For many builds, Moongrum is the real boss and Rennala is the afterparty.
>>287819603>why another swamp level>everything is hot>largely comfyThe story and two certain people you interact with are pleasant, I'd say it's worth it. Also with the DLCs you had Aldia popping up now and then to say hi.>>287821651>Jester Thomas is a summon for Mytha, and heavily implied to be the merchant explorer you meet in Iron Keep.Oh geez, but the merchant was friend
>>287805324Today's dump will be a little longer because the chapters don't really break into a neat thematic division. We're mostly clearing side quests today. Avoiding anything that would kill half our NPCs accidentally before we get to the stuff that kills them intentionally, lol.
Who knew Aseo was a Redditor.
Musclewife.
Our hero makes her triumphant return!
I think we should be thankful that Fromsoft quest design, whatever issues it may have, has at least never demanded that we do any escort quests.
>>287825466NOOOOOOOOO DON'T FUCKING DO IT ASEODON'T YOU DARE GIVE HIM THAT DAMN KEY>>287825488oh nvm, it seems like the author made up some headcanon to keep him safe
>>287825744Or is that just what they want you to think?
Aseo must be wearing that Dark Wood Grain Ring.
Look at him go.
Moses?
I'm guaranteeing almost no one actually saved Boc on their playthrough without reading a wiki about how to do it.
Perhaps the only character to be less likeable in this version of Elden Ring.
>>287825869Best joke so far
The benefits of xp farming.
I really like this armor set.
That's my Meli-Meli.
Varre suffers....
That is actually what his face looks like.
The best ash of war in the game.

Credits. Feel free to post your fashionsouls favorites. For me, I loved the Black Iron set. Maybe with the Gundyr chestplate if we're playing DS3. The Night's Cavalry set is pretty close to capturing the same style.
>>287826547Short term memory loss is a problem for many Tarnished. Please contact our representative Lucatiel if you need any assistance.
>>287805324Thanks for the dump OP. Ngl, I'm a bit upset that this got a manga with great art, and Bloodborne got a shitty comic
>>287826734There are parts of the Bloodborne comic I like and parts where I'm wondering "why the hell this was even written for a Bloodborne adaptation"? I steal spreads from it now and then to use as wallpapers, if nothing else. The art is usually pretty good.
>>287826196He's wearing just the armor though, not the whole set.I did a quick calculation on his Endurance here.Aseo is wearing the Scale Armor from the Iron Set, with nothing in his head or arm slots. His leg armor looks like it’s either the Aristocrat Boots or the Bandit Boots. Since Boc said “nobles go gaga for those boots,” it must be the Aristocrat Boots. He’s also using a Beast Crest Heater Shield and a Longsword.His total equip load is 18.7. Assuming he can still fast roll and has no talismans equipped, that means he must have at least 19 Endurance. That is plausible, he’s already cleared Stormveil Castle and Raya Lucaria, so he should have more than enough runes to invest 9 points into END (he started with 10 END as Wretch class).Boc did a good job min-maxing Aseo’s equip load, but he’s clearly bullshitting him on this page >>287826220 by asking for an alteration fee. There’s no altered version of the Scale Armor from the Iron Set. So either Boc is trying to rip Aseo off himself, or he’s in cahoots with Melina to force Aseo into taking a loan from that damn loan shark of a maiden, and i like to think it's the latter scenario kek
>>287827167Perhaps Meli-Meli is intentionally keeping Aseo's INT stunted so he doesn't figure this out.
>>287825918Has Meli been pumping his stats behind the scenes or is he just naturally adapting to everything like he told Ranni? Dude's been weirdly competent lately.
>>287826628Banished Knight's Helm (unaltered)Night's Cavalry Chest (altered)Solitude Gauntlets Fire Knight's Greaves
>>287826628Divine Beast Helm, Blaidd's Armor, Banished Knight's Gloves, Bullgoat Pants.
>>287826389of course, my favourite skill from the 2000s
>>287827616He's mostly bumming around Limgrave, so even base wretch stats are good enough with some upgrades from Hewg, let alone whatever INT/STR build Meli-Meli-Meli has been guiding him towards.
>>287826734Bloodborne is the lesser game so it makes sense.
>>287828410you wanna fight cunt?
>almost at Millicent's chapter(s)yay! :D
>>287828547The nurglewife....
Holy mother of asset spamming.
>>287828689If it gives him more time to draw all the girls super pretty, I say spam away!
>>287828689People say that Elden Ring looks like a painting, so why not put that to work, lol.

>>287826051Guilty as charged...
>>287825013I like how they kept the tradition my making the guy in front of Rellanna hard as fuck
>>287830164You mean you don't want to get oneshot at 60 VIG by an NPC with the silliest name in the game?
>>287821934for me it was just getting my greatclub parried repeatedly
>>287830346Here's a good question: Why the fuck does the Moonrithyll's Knight Sword have C(STR) C(DEX) D(INT) scaling???What is the point of adding in another obviously magical greatsword into the game and then giving it quality scaling like a shitty unupgraded cold infusion at +10?
I was checking online, and apparently the latest chapter is chapter 81, which released last month. But there are only 51 chapters translated in English, and out of the 11 volumes, only 7 were released overseas, so that fucking sucks.

>>287844853not understood*
>>287844853I think he just wanted their half of the Haligtree Medallion, and when they wouldn't give it up, he resolve to take it.

Aseo is training up for PVP quickswaps. What a sweatlord.
Slaves are so ungrateful these days. Don't they know that whippings and beatings are just part of the fun of enslavement?
!!!The first actual plot twist of this adaptation.
The Banished Knight's Halberd is really a fun weapon, imo. Very well balanced for almost any build.
My dream Greatsword uses the Hollowslayer moveset with Claymore Poke R2s. Maybe one day.

>>287847257First actual real death in the manga?
Last page, today. So, what is your favorite of the minor side areas in the Souls games? Castle Morne is pretty solid for its place in the early game. Hemwick in Bloodborne is pretty good and atmospheric, too.
>>287847324I think it is so. Although with this Irina, perhaps there's more than meets the eye. Or maybe no eyes to meet.

>>287853798Limgrave is fun, because you can either get the most useless summon in the world, or get Oleg that will beat almost the entire game for you.
>>287847257>Leaving behind the Grafted GreatswordDamn, that was my favorite Elden Ring weapon.
>>287847356I'm not sure, maybe the alleyways of the Ringed City?
>>287806020>>287806044THOPS MY GOATReminder that Thops's Barrier can even deflect the Elden Beast's projectiles
>>287847356I have fond memories of Dark Root Garden
>>287855680One of the best moments in the whole game as an INT build.
>>287811941There's a surprisingly decent amount of it
>>287855864I've seen a surprising amount of Rennala self-insert stuff out there.
>>287826734They should've got Hayashida to do the whole thing, not just the cover
>>287826051Boc bothers me because he raises more questions than he answers. Namely: how is he so mild-mannered when all other demihumans are screeching monkeys?
>>287857802They just don't like you.We know from the various Demihuman mages/spellblades that they're at least as smart as people. They just don't want to talk to you.
>>287826491>last panel
>>287858938Then how come they just whimper like dogs when you kill their leader rather than begging for mercy in a language you can understand? There's still just too many discrepancies between how he and the rest of them act. I'm not saying it's a plothole or anything, but I think he needs more explanation.
>>287805324It may be selfish of me, but it would be great if you or some other anon here decided to storytime the author's other manga, A Cursed Sword's Daily Life. It's got the same humor and art and I really enjoy it but it's totally unheard of.
>>287859721>110 chaptersThe longest I've ever done is like 70 chapters and I basically promised myself to never do something that long again because it was hard to keep a dump schedule for that long. It is a very solid comedy manga, but I try to keep to series under 10 volumes if I can.
>>287859721Holy crap thank you. I read the first couple chapters years ago and couldn't remember what it was called. For a while I thought it was that "isekai'd as a sword" manga, but didn't remember the kemonomimi girl and thought I was going crazy.
>>287846789You know, I'm now realizing I really wonder how this will handle Hyetta and Shabriri, considering even having them relies upon Irina and Yura dying.
>>287846834>muh parrrylol, get shrekt parry fags
>>287847200Best girl
>>287860759>>287847257Oh. But now I'm wondering how Aseo will react to Hyetta.
>>287806371>Tarnished, you must continue your adventures in Caelid.>Is that a problem?>>287806432>Which NPC fight in the Souls series did you find to be the most fun?I have a soft spot for Maldron.the Ass.>>287816317To be fair, that cutscene was probably done when Caelid was barely in the concept art stages, much less pre-nuke Caelid.
>>287826051Finding the tree is easy, but finding the right Pate to tell him he's beautiful and knowing to do that is absolutely fucked quest design.
>>287844853He didn't have beef, they had loot that he wanted so he did to them what the player does to Nokron and Nokstella.
>>287847151my dumbass failed to realized that Edgar is a Banished Knight, mostly because he was such a non-threat unlike the enemy Banished Knights, especially that dual greatswords mofo
>>287860895
>>287861206It is hilarious because the "You're Beautiful" voice line sounds like it came out of a horror game and then fucking Boc goes, "sounds just like me mum, thanks my lord and savior"
>>287861206I think of it more like an easter egg than a quest, so I don't mind that one.Many more people would have discovered it on their own if Boc was actually beautiful, and all the affection for him wasn't a total affectation.
>>287865077I think the altering armor system needed some more time to back, so it wasn't just "to cape or not to cape, that is the question".
>>287865760whats funny is some armors lose their special effects if you alter them. Like the black knife set loses its stealthy effect if you remove the cape
>>287865760It's actually useful to keep the weight down.Losing even a bit of the weight on your armor could have you moving normally, or fat rolling.
>>287866384What the fuck.
>>287846892>Empty Xuvia>And now God's clothing
>>287867483It makes sense because it explicitly states that it's the cape that makes you invisible. That said, I wonder if that level of realism was absolutely necessary.
>>287805324A slightly shorter dump today.Lets finally take the trek to our favorite Minecraft Mushroom Island world seed.
He's got that good D
Remember, bros before hoes. Unless she's cute.
Never let other men put their dirty fingers on your weaponfu.
You may have missed it, but this place has a massive lower area you can platform down to and get a pretty good incant build dagger from. And a useless talisman.
Gotta get that Scooby Snack
>>287869703I assume that putting one of the lower tier talismans there was because this area is quickly accessible early game, is not like you have to fight throught Caelid to actually reach it, but that plataforming is soo out of the way and tricky, that really doesnt feel like a reward for it.
Good ol' Dragonbarrow scaling.
He's just playing!
The bastard.
Fin Here's a fun question:What do you think is going on with Gurranq and Maliketh?
>>287869438Aseo already met D at the Roundtable Hold, so D shouldn't be here, I missed this encounter the same way on my first playthrough. But i guess since everyone ignored D in that chapter so the author needs to put him here to give Aseo the quest
>>287869512What if your bro is also cute?
>>287870011ENTERBEST GIRL
>>287870011omg teh millicent
>>287870645Then make him your hoe.
>>287871047bros before (they get turned into) hoes
>>287870969All hail the best and stinkiest girl.
>>287869492>D&R, explorers of deathsaying R&D here would make a better joke, like Research and Development, get it? ha ha... haokay that wasn't so good, I'll see myself out
>>287870059Maliwho? is that Gurranq boyfriend or what?I don't remember if Maliketh has been namedropped in the manga so far
Hello,I hate ranni
>>287874149Greater Will...
>>287847040>Perfectly stated>Can be used in any build>Obtainable in the early game>Great scaling even into the endgame>Can stagger everything in the game>Looks like sexENTER CLAYMORE MY GOAT
>>287874149Chadmask.....
>>287870059What like, in general, or only using stuff in the manga?It's pretty much just the garden variety thing a lot of major characters have in Elden Ring. Some, like Marika and Miquella have literal separate identities, but then there's some like Morgott, Horah Loux, and Maliketh where they're merely separate names. Titles that are tied to different aspects of their public existence. For those like Horah Loux and Maliketh, it's more about keeping on the down low, though it's funny to think Horah Loux is more known for being Godfrey and it's a big surprise he's actually Horah Loux, like his secret persona is just some shirtless barbarian wrestler.
>>287876908Here is a conundrum, how can Gurranq still be alive at the church after you've killed Maliketh?
>>287877615>afterFarum Azula "exists outside of time".
>>287847301That kind of loan sharking is when you just tell her to go away and never come back.
>>287870059Thank you for posting.
Sex with Aseo.
>>287869904Torrent, my man. You are a spirit. Just disappear.
>>287878553Then how can you unseal Death?
>>287869952I hate these dogs so much but I hate those crows even more
>>287867804kekcome to think of it he's literally using that skill with higher level
>>287805478She should hit him with another spell.
>>287869703Yes I keep wandering around here for hours by thinking there should be a way down here, and turn out I was rightGenuinely can't remember what I got but I was happy to find it out
>>287881544by giving Maliketh the stepdad treatment, the player literally beat him up so hard he had to pull that shit out of his body
>>287806020kek, based
>>287863978All known female demi-humans are brick shithouses
>>287881950all known female demi-humans are queens (literally)
>>287805599This place is even creepier now.
>>287805664Poor Aseo.
>>287805883Yes, yes very good Aseo. HOWEVER
>>287882180He deserves to suffer.
>>287882212Silence, Moongrum.
>>287806020I kneel.
>>287882025Exactly, much like insects
>>287805324I wish the game had an unlockable parody mode where all the dialogue is replaced by this manga's nonsense.
>>287881950>>287882025They're cute. Big gangly flat cuties. If you don't get the appeal of tallflats, that is your fault.
>>287825797An effective way of dealing with imps.
>>287825897>Who ever heard of a dog with a swordSif will kill everyone here for this insult.
>>287882222Carians are always right.
>>287826129Yeah, understandable.
>>287826294He's a complete weirdo so he only has himself to blame.
>>287882379Not even just Sif. This dumbass already fought Red Wolf and somehow forgot about it.
>>287882296>If you don't get the appeal of tallflatsWho says that I don't
>>287847068Very devious.
>>287847280He's completely lost it.
>>287847301It is time to stop doing business with this woman.
>>287882482No horny posts about Rennala.
>>287869703Darian is a petty bitch.
>>287869810Aseo keeps being fucking scammed.
>>287869904Torrent...
>>287870059Thanks OP. I do not know of any...Maliketh. Now feed me more Deathroot.
>>287806432Thank OP, worried when I didn't see the threads.
>>287882553one could say that he has been touched by frenzy
>>287882626Meli-Meli is just taking her fair dues.
>>287882615Why does she have... four... feet... oh. OOOOOH
>>287882626Gurranq wasn't scamming him, it's just that he has shit rewards, much like most other NPCs. And Aseo lack FTH, wouldn't be able to use Incantation anyways
>>287882984He rewards aren't the best items in the game, but compared to what most NPCs give they're actually way more worth it. Because nothing he gives you is actively awful, and usually only needs slight faith investment to be useful. Gideon's rewards are way less useful.
>>287883090>Gideon's rewards are way less useful.That reminds me that he deserved several somethings for the DLC but From insisted on making it self-contained.
>>287883126Yeah, one issue with the DLC system was that A.) Fromsoft likes to keep their DLCs pretty self-contained so that if you don't buy it, you aren't noticeably missing anything, and B.) Shadow of the Erdtree pulled on a hundred important aspects of the base-game in a way that went farther than most other Souls game DLCs. Someone like Gideon or Melina or Jerren should have a hell of a lot to say about the DLC even existing, let alone all of its content. But there's just no interaction. At least DS3 had Yuria talk about Friede a bit if you killed her.
>>287883090If you're mainly a STR build that invests only a few points into FTH then yeah, his stuff has some use, Beastial Incantation has the lowest FTH requirements of all the schools of incantation iirc. If you have high FTH then there're plenty of better options. And needless to say if you're a faithless non-believer then all of his rewards are useless except for the smithing stone.
>>287883179It also really throws his whole "a man cannot kill a god" spiel out of whack what with the DLC ending with the player killing a god and their lord at the same time.
>>287885087That always seemed like an emotional crash out from Gideon to me. He was always the sort to put emotions aside and do terrible shit if it benefited him, but in the end he was the one who believed most of all. It's poetic irony or something.
>>287885196Probably why they gave him the prisoner OST for his fight and the notoriously low frenzy resist. Dude found out something that mindbroke him from his planned advisor career and made him just try and block the player.
>>287885196>>287885292I think Giddy Up managed to figure out most of Marika's scheme and figured out the purpose of the Shattering: to have a conflict that went on and on forever until one person became the strongest to ever exist. But didn't believe in the final step, taking that strength and using it to beat whatever God existed behind the Elden Ring as a whole. Instead he saw this as a foolish Queen's unending sadism where the world would forever struggle over scraps and the strongest would all fail because humans can't kill Gods. That is why they are Gods. This was a Gu Ritual where the tender stopped paying attention long ago and all the bugs fighting one another were just fools, doomed to be forgotten. He was happy to sit around as one of the strongest living Tarnished looking for more and more information while hanging around the Roundtable Hold, perhaps trying to find an out, perhaps just looking to understand all the BS happening around him. But when you finally got strong enough to actually look like you could do it, he threw himself into the fight as a way to either prove his philosophy or die trying. Either everyone would fail forever, even the strongest, or he'd be another one left dead on the wayside.
