Was I really supposed to find lift of decus medallion required to progress on my own? Everyone on reddit is saying that it's my fault for not exploring the game, but I honestly find overwhelming how big the map is and how many places there are to go, I'm just trying to progress the main game but keep hitting these roadblocks because what I thought would be side dungeons with crafting materials are actually main content....
no, you were supposed to go up the ruins off to the side of it down the water way and fight the magma wyrmor get caught by the virgin abductor in the bottom of raya lucaria
>>730895687Its something you'll only find if you go off trail and explore on your own. If you are following the natural route you won't find at least 1 half.
Hello fellow speedrunner. This is why games should have a built in wiki telling us exactly where to go.
>>730896320ER kind of does this with graces.
>>730896320>>730896464I found them misleading too, I thought they pointed at the next main boss, not all of them in general, bc of it I ended up going all the way to raya lucaria academy gate before realising the game wanted me to do stormveil castle first
>>730895687>using leddit.Your first mistake.Also OP confirmed faggot, time to git.
>>730895687Yeah, there's no shame in referencing a guide for a game like this. It's a lot of content with no explanations for anything.
>>730896809It can get a little confusing when you see multiple graces pointing in different directions. The game doesn't really care if you don't understand what is happening around you at the end of the day. Make your own adventure out of it and kill stuff.
millions of "tired anime girl" images exist yet someone out there decided they need to slop one upwhy? is this how the robots win? because of lazy retards with no standards?
tbf can't you actually easily find both pieces?fort nite is right in the beginning and most people will get railroaded there. and the dectus piece there has an item description that basically straight up tells you where the second half is. Also yeah i mean you can just go north of raya lucaria, or look to your left when you try to go up the elevator and see the giant ruins leading up there. idk, OP sounds like an AI slopping dipshit. Why dont you just ask chatgpt to play the game for you ?
>>730895687You're supposed to get comfortable getting lost in there. Just pick a direction & explore, fighting shit along the way, Lore is everywhere, so are quests, but if you're a casual like me subservient to the almighty objective marker, guides are a must.Then again, I found the parts of the medallion by chance, so maybe you didn't go anywhere :/
>>730897757it just seemed like a waste of time when I could try harder areas first, like caelid divine tower, so I still ended up wasting a lot of time before realising it was impossible not because the enemies were harder, but because they would one shot me while I did no damage to them
>>730898265Caelid is kind of like that. You either man up and handle the difficulty or turn around and go the natural route the game wants. There being so many ways to find yourself in Caelid early was for replayers that wanted to simulate some speedrunner strat stuff.
>>730895687Wait until you learn about the [[[secret]]] medallion.
>>730895687I'm the type of guy to exhaust every other possible route before progressing to the next "main quest" area. Honestly I love how Elden Ring made AAA gamers seethe for making you actually play the game instead of having a map or compass tell you exactly where you need to go.
>>730895687The ruins, retard
Anyone else tired of games with forced exploration? Give me a good linear experience instead of this open world slop.
>>730900083nigga why tf you playing elden ring if you dont want an open world? go play a linear game. retard ahh
