>claws>bloodflame blade>endurethere you go, just tank everything and spam flasks
Nothing in this game can counter a greatshield
>>737257890It isnt the boss tanking your FPS its the stupid area right around her filled with multiple waterfalls and shit
>>737259040And they didn't both to cull any of it. It's hilariously bad optimization throughout SotE
>>737257890First tried without picking up any fossilized poo shards btw. This game fucking sucks lol
>>737258972Malenia heals on every hit, even blocked ones
>>737261567lol yeah haha lol lmao
>>737257890She's impossible...
>>737261651So you need to hit her two or three more times?Malenia doesn't counter shields as hard as you seem to think she does, and in fact you'll probably kill her faster because you can guard counter and break her fucking knees
>>737261716>Seething eldentroon can't grasp that the game isn't actually difficult and all the bosses have the same movesets. Sorry you can't recognize patterns, you must be brown.
>>737261817I can think of a dozen ways to circumvent this without touching a respec
>>737257890HER TWIN MOONS MUST BE HUGE ESPECIALLY IF PRESSING AGAINST THE STEEL
>>737261817git gud faggot
>>737261817>mimicfag instakarmalmaoalso>enter boss>die several times trying to learn her moveset instead of trying to beat her>focus on obvious windows between unga bungas>sidestep, step back, step forward, jump, land 2 hits, repeat>"ok killed her, let's check /v/>REEEEE IMPOSSIBLE MATHEMATICALLY UNBEATABLEI know fromshit devolves bosses into those cinematic streaks of cmbos where you cannot do anything, but cmon, if a streak is supposed to look cinematic while raping you, just don't bother trying to land a hit
>>737257890My PC didn't run this too poorly but the section where you go into Cerulean Coast, where the blue flowers are shitting particle effects into the air and there is one of those shitty fire giants outside dropped me down to 20fps if I looked in the direction of the beach.
>>737261651Bleed memes make her healing irrelevant. It's the best status ailment in the game because it fucks HP bars even when they're bloated like in the DLC. The only counter to bleed llus greatshield is bosses that can't bleed and even then you can just stance break them with guard counters after blocking their 700 hit autism flailing combos.
>>737257890There is like 4 other bosses in this DLC that are even more bullshit lol. I gave up by the end and just used my mimic to rape everybody.
>>737261817>ironic bait this obvious>replies are unironic git gudinb4>"WE ARE BAITING TOO, WE ARENT RETARDED"whatever lets you sleep at night...
Rellana is an okay boss but also disappointing. She could have been so much more interesting but most of her moveset is just annoyingly gay against more fun strategies, and extremely weak against the general effective strategiesIts kind of hard to enjoy major bosses in Elden Ring after having played Nightreign and fought its nightlords & everdarks. The downgrade is extreme and thats even before considering the fancy character skills being gone.
>>737268623
>>737261817deserved just for summoning 2bh
>>737268623ER bosses are better. You can only parry like 3 nightlords and shields are much worse than in ER for multiple reasons so it's pretty much rollslop.
>>737270376you have surge sprint, fancy abilities, and way more (and more rewarding) opportunities to dodge by moving instead of rollingif youre rolling 24/7 in nightreign you might be doing something wrong, other than some cases like fulghorshields are actually pretty fine in nightreign until Deep of Night ruins them. Blocking with weapons is better too. Alternatively you can just play Guardian, hes fine up until like DoN 5 where hes a bit raped
>>737268623>>737268761Holy shit, Nightreign boss are army killers huh?Seems like you are really supposed to be all over the battlefield.
>>737271481The skills and specials are mostly press button for huge iframe duration. Only casuals think they are good.Surge sprint is bloat, running already exists. Positioning already existed in base ER don't pretend it's new to NR.Shields require RNG because most characters simply don't start with them. The inherently slower shield playstyle is a disadvantage in a game with a timer. You need to waste more time upgrading the shield if you don't get lucky. The simple fact is almost nobody bothers with shields and guardian is considered the worst character for a good reason.
>>737271837Using i-frames to avoid explosions nonsense.
>>737257890I feel like a lot of the dlc bosses were operating under the pretense the player was gonna be using that Sekiro tear.
>>737273293Or block. Or parry. Or jump. Or duck.
>>737257890I love her
>>737271837>>737273181iframes will not cut it for a lot of these nukes and ultimate movesfor many of them you will need some positioning or utilize character skills, or bubbles, or sometimes interrupts if possibletheres also a bunch of them where you can just iframe them but the timing is tight enough to encourage getting bubbles or tanking

>>737277268said no one ever
>>737277082He was jurkin off while drawing it.
>Starts doing jump L1 with two colossal weaponsNOTHINGPERSONNELKIDDI definitely feel like I cheesed her like that. If I ever replay the DLC I'll try using something more fair.
>>737277585Trying to do the dlc "fair" is truly an exercise in patience. It becomes apparent for some of them that the intent was never to do them fair, just bully them to death.Midra is easily the best fight in Elden Ring though, if you do him legit
>>737278013If your definition of fair is dark souls 3 roll spam, too bad. With a longsword and heater shield you can curb stomp all the dlc bosses.
>>737257890I beat her without any Skibidi Tree fragments git fucking gud
>>737257890Hardest boss in the dlc. Took me more tries than promised consort radahn.
>>737277343I say that
>>737258274>>737258814>Legitimate criticism>Irrelevant counterThe Fromsoft classic.
>>737257890I still find it funny how this character who seemed like she should be important, is a random ass boss in a generic arena with no dialogue.
>>737257890She's pretty easy to run away from. Rolling to dodge everything is really the worst way to handle her.
>>737261986I hated that her armor came with tits built in even if you were a man. It had one of the coolest overall designs in the game, but fucking boobie plates for dudes, really?
>>737277020Whenever I see any gameplay video of ER and the player has >4 buffs on the status bar I disregard whatever the poster said. Such a fucking gay part of the game that I will not interact with.
>>737257890Should've been nude
>>737280565/v/ will say this but also whine about zanzibard cutscenes.
>>737280810We get it you hate RPGs.
>>737281963The DLC is also 90% zanzibart cutscenes, everyone except for Igon is moaning "forgive me" inbetween their phases
>>737273093>Surge sprint is bloat, running already exists.This is the stupidest fucking thing I've read.

>>737282741That's not what the webm did, why are you pretending it's the same thing? Disingenuous much?
>>737282797No, this isn't even my argument and I don't have anything against the content of the webm, I just popped in to have a meltdown about buffing faggots. God will never refund me the time spent watching hostcel scroll through his list of shit to apply to his skin before dying right at the fog gate without so much as letting me get one glimpse at the boss itself
>>737280565She actually had fully voiced dialog lines but they got cut for some reason. A higher pitched and more girlish voice than you'd think. https://www.bilibili.com/video/BV1H142187h3/

I like how nobody talks about this boss.People say Rellana and Malenia are Sekiro bosses stuck in a Dark Souls game but pic related felt like fighting a rejected boss from DS2>mandatory boss>literally zero fanfare or build up >ugly generic fantasy design with garish pepto bismol color >barely any lore
>>737277270>Heavy armor>GIANT FUCKING CLUB>not unga bungaactual retard
>>737280810Let me guess, you also didnt use ash summons because otherwise 'you didnt beat the game'
>>737282741he has 7 buffs, 4 of those are talismans, 2 are incantation buffs and a stamina item, it takes like 5 seconds to do those 2 incantatoins
souls games are so shit I'm sorry
>>737257890I beat her in roughly three attempts with no summons, found her much easier than the Dancing Lion.Still felt like complete shit to fight, Miyazaki has brain damage and doesn't understand basic game design anymore.
>>737271481>DoN5I sincerely dont understand why people play on this level.It makes the game uninteresting.It just becomes a no hit run, and more defensive options a shit idea if you didnt win the lottery with your relic drops.If you dont go full retard damage, people think youre a griefer.D3 seems to be the best way to enjoy DoN.They have to change the relic system, it feels like it was balanced with cheats in mind.

>>737287927im not lying, im pretty sure the perfomance issues with ER are random, ive seen people with better gpus than me having issues
>>737287963>people with better gpus than me having issuesPeople that rely on high end hardware to compensate are the same people who don't know what task manager does. You can't really rely on them for quality assessment. They're the spirit summoners in elden ring.
>>737287814The wickermen shit on every PC. I play on an EVGA 1070 and get good 1080p performance otherwise.
>>737280810Elden Ring basically made buffs mandatory to not get fucking yeeted especially in the DLC. Golden vow and crab before every fight.
>>737257890>tanks your framerateHas anyone here tried to run ER on a 10 year old rig? Can a 970 run it?
>>737280810>people buffing?>in a game that has buffs?AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA Save me Niggerman! He trivialized the boss that I was stuck for days it's not fair! AAAAAAAAAAAA You must beat it with no buffs, no armor, no weapon upgrades, no spells, no controller, no keyboard, no screen, no eyes, no hands, only then I will agree that you are a better player than me!
>>737257890the only good bossfight from that awful dlc
Looks cool.Sounds cool.IS cool.
>>737257890I just blocked her
>>737277020This looks like the opposite of fun

>>737258972I am a shield user and I dropped the shield against Malenia.
>Fromsoft bossesAhhh yes those epic fights I remember where you kill the boss with like 10 hits. People seriously rate these? For me a good boss fight its where I struggle against it for at least 10 minutes in one fight and ultimately come out on top, not one where I die 20 times and then beat it in less than 3 minutes on the 21st attempt.
>>737258274This, the strat is to keep as close to her as possible.
>>737258972Have you tried kicking it?
>dragoncrest shield talisman>any relevant elemental shield talisman>opaline hardtear>crab (optional)This is too much "buffing" for retards apparently.
>>737268623Is that Zanzibart?
Even with her comically long combo strings, she's still the best designed boss in the DLC. All the others do stupid damage and never stop dancing around with their elaborate streamer reaction bait animations
>>737280718>It had one of the coolest overall designs in the gameYou, me, and everyone else on Earth seems to agree. I don't think it's a coincidence that every other summon or invader was rocking her chestpiece.
>>737294170The tension of fighting a challenging boss makes the primitive parts of your brain see it as a fight against a bear or a socially important tribal competition. The rush of adrenaline and endorphines after you beat him make you subconciously feel like you achieved a great success and your standing in the tribe and mating chances have improved. That's why so many faggots playing these games unironically get bootyblasted if you use summons or strong builds (or - oh the horror, lower the difficulty like in lies of p) - it diminished their own achievement and makes you look like a faggot to them since you didn't suffer and like it, like in some rite of passage. While I also think that summons are lame because they make you not even interact with the boss and learn his moves, I was suprised to see how many people hate the difficulty sliders in more story-oriented souls clones. Unfortunately I'm also fucking autistic about it and for example even though I hate Prime Radahn and how fucking shit his design is I forced myself to beat him, to, I don't know, prove something to myself, I guess? Helping others beat him while tanking with the antspur rapier + fingerprint shield was one of the most fun experiences in Elden Ring though.
>>737257890Bump
>>737268623>boss flies around>unable to hit it with melee weapon>charge attack into large dashing aoe attack>walk up to boss and get three slashes with a daggerThis formula has gone completely off the rails at this point. Elden Ring pushed the flashiness too far for Souls games and the games now look like an absolute joke. This formula is tired. Demon's Souls was 17 years ago.
>>737277020>8 buffs
>>737277193>9 buffs
>>737299164>>boss flies around>>unable to hit it with melee weapon>>charge attack into large dashing aoe attackIts an ultimate attack he only does occasionally. Tons of nightreign characters have powerful ranged or ways to deal high burst damage in a way that avoids these moves>>walk up to boss and get three slashes with a daggerHes doing it because its a rot dagger, he wants to land a status effect. Otherwise he would be going for fancy skills, harder moves, farming his deflect into suncatcher skill, etc. Stop shitting on games you know nothing about, nightreign is literally *the* souls game about getting some fancy moves and skills so dealing damage is more fun
>>737299395The point is that it's fucking boring. I'm tired of watching bosses dance around arenas with big flashy attacks while you still have basic bitch attacks. The gameplay and spectacle is so uneven that it's jarring at this point. It genuinely looks ridiculous.
>>737299495>I'm tired of watching bosses dance around arenas with big flashy attacks while you still have basic bitch attacks.my brother in christ have you even watched a single complete nightreign runThe first video literally had the guy finish charging up his ability to turn into a giant crucible beast with immense health and high damage swipes/smashes and roars
>>737277020What's fun about making a build like this? You're basically just skipping learning the boss to bonkmax. What the fuck is the point?
>>737273093>The skills and specials are mostly press button for huge iframe duration. Only casuals think they are good.>Surge sprint is bloat, running already exists. Positioning already existed in base ER don't pretend it's new to NR.Literally no one who has actually played NR has ever said this>he inherently slower shield playstyle is a disadvantage in a game with a timer. The timer in NR is so forgiving. You can farm to max level and everything you need pretty reliably, being clean is more important. If you are playing guardian, you know, the dedicated shield character, then you can build extremely strong guard counters: There are flat bonuses based on health, he has multihit guard counters and the highest HP pool. Guardian is only the worst in DoN4-5 mode where the balance is complete dogshit

>>737299650Learning bosses is gay nerdshit. Aggressionmaxxing is way more fun. It always looks easy because the skill is in not letting the enemy act but you will die if you execute improperly and let up the aggression
I just parried her and stabbed her with scorpion stinger until she got scarlet rot, switched to bloodhound claws and killed her with bleed
>>737285721>>737294235Your flavour text, bwos?
I beat her with Fingerprint and Leda, alongside my trusted "Shadow of the Self - Mercury Tears" jutsu, developped from years of meditation in the Eternal City.
It's a shame that we didn't have the proper mimic tear quest.
>>737268623You posted Heolster's neon green poison UltimateFor the uninitiated; Heolster is the final boss in Nightreign. During the fight he opens a portal in the sky and takes on a random element fire, frost, etc. The green clashes most look better than this webm
>>737257890The fact your power level and defense scales of an fucking item of all things and how really noticeable the difference is had to be the most retarded mechanic ever.But for some reason nobody talks about it

>>737261817>tryhard Fromdrones falling for baitit's this easy
>>737258972this is true including and especially malenia, but it requires you to spec into the build instead of slapping heater/black knight shield on and invalidating the entire game like dark souls 1 so shields are nerfed and bad according to /v/.
>>737277020>dude just overlevel
>>737277193>huge sword>that lousy damageMan I'm so sick and tired of modern From slop
>>737257890people have performance issues with her? weird. only problem one I've run into is adel in nightreign who attacks your gpu directly.
>>737257890Wow people are still saying Elden Ring and its DLC are good? Lmao how tragic
>>737302338So true sister
>>737286239using buffs and armor isn't unga bunga. literally using heavy armor in particular completely invalidates everything. you're a coward with less integrity than someone who summons.
>>737285721theres a cut cutscene about her
>>737257890>timing based game>timing changes arbitrarily with framerate, which introduces literal seconds of input delay at random>game literally cannot maintain a stable framerate at any timing-sensitive challenge through the entire DLC.Actually ruined it for me. The DLC wasn't punishingly difficult but the technical failings just made every boss fundamentally unfun to fight.
>>737258972>only 2 greatshields are better than medium shields.What did they mean by this?
>>737285721You forgot "pissass easy"on my second try I literally killed her as she was transitioning phases and never even saw her phase 2. She's unironically easier than the golden hippo
>>737257890>heh nothing personell

>>737257890I don't care about the seething. I had a lot of trouble with her for sure, but I probably enjoyed the fight the most out of all those in the DLC. The Lion was probably on par.Both fights have a nice, dance-like rhythm to them.
>>737257890>tanks your framerateAnon, I think the problem here is your PC
>>737303210DLC runs significantly worse than the base game and it's mostly CPU related.Overall shitty PC port of a great game but maybe OP is a cucksole player I don't know.
the obsession with skill (memorization) and difficulty (ever longer boss attack patterns) has run these games to the ground
>>737303357why is memorization not a skill?
>>737257890Even DSP killed this boss on the first try.You're not worse than DSP, right?
>>737257890elden ring jumped the shark with the autismo 400 hit boss combos. Not that it's hard, it's just annoying to be stuck as a dark soul character doing basic bitch stuff while bosses are spasmic messes jumping everywhere and aoeing the whole screen with particle effects.
>>737302338Thats because the guy in that webm refused to level up skibidi fragments for the challenge, normally it deals more i think
>>737261651You can easily outpace her healing, even while tanking waterfowl.My great epee+great shield run was the easiest by a very large margin.
>>737257890they really did over did it with the boss autism combo with elden ring
Wow memorization sucks huh, wouldn't it be great if there's a way to prevent damage that isn't reliant on having precise timing?
What's a cool quality build for somebody who can't decide what to play and kind of wants to dabble on everything but always ends up just rolling, blocking, and attacking with a a one handed longsword or night and glame 65% of the time anyways?Last I played, I had a lot of fun with the Dragon Communion Incantations like the rot breath and magma breath ones.I loved that you could actually float for a while while spewing death everywhere
>>737277020Based Anon absolutely btfo'ing the posersFromsoft games are all absolutely piss easy. If you need to put arbitrary limitations on what you do to make a game even remotely challenging then it's not a difficult game, period.

>>737292114I know 1060 can, and quite ok as well. At least the base game, no clue about the expansion.
Wait... Nightreign is good? I thought it was just multiplayer slop. If I wanted to try Elden ring do I play the base game or Nightreign?
>>737285721Ran over that bitch in a minute so she didn't really leave a lasting impression.

So it the PC version of ER bad? I have it on PS5 and that couldn't hold a steady framerate so I'm thinking of maybe getting the PC version on sale if it's good.

>>737257890>>tanks your framerateran fine on my ps4. have you tried running elden ring on anything past windows XP?
>>737310418>sub 30 fps is fineNope.
>>737308810Jokes aside? I like elden ring but i genuinely do not like its damage balance.Bosses die way too fast, to the point it doesnt feel very good to beat them, i didnt enjoy their moveset to the fullest. The speed at which they die is balanced, specially for something like Promised Consort Radahn, because of the estus heal system where you run out of HP, and how they can chunk a huge part of your healthbar in a single hit.I believe this game would be so much better if bosses were tankier, and in exchange, the player had a healing system similar to Focus and Bind from Hollow Knight & Silksong. Where you technically have unlimited healing, however, healing isnt fast and easy, and actually takes time and effort to heal yourself to full. It would allow longer battles, make the act of being at low health way more engaging, and make taking damage way more fun. It would arguably make the game harder when you are well equipped against a boss, but would do so in a less frustrating way
