Like 12? I used double curved great swords and on launch the rotted one has a ranged fire attack as it's special, and it just made her stagger every time. It wasn't so bad.
>>75134314810 +/- 2.I didn't count but that's what it felt like.
I never beat her even after trying hundreds of times. She dominated me every time. She owns me. I am her slave.
>>751343148On my first run? Like 5-7 hours.
How many breads have you eaten in your life?How would I know how many tries it took, I played that fight for several days.
>>751343148Like 2 or 3. First time I went in solo and noticed her life steal bullshit always works no matter what even through shield blocks. Then summoned some people who sucked and died early so I just kited her around learning her second phase moves. Then summoned some guys good enough to carry me to the end while I mostly hucked items at her.
>>751343148i don't remember but it was roughly 2 hours of attempts. my last playthrough that i did when the dlc released i beat her on my first try, the fight is just that ingrained in me at this point.
>>751343148
Playing this game on release was some of the most fun I've ever had in my life. Being ahead of the online guides and finishing in 4 days was sublime.
less than thent. golden halberd
>>751344831the guides were there day one though? the platinum had like 8% completion rate in the first week lol
None. I don't play From's rollslop.
>>751343148I only needed 1.
>>751345002Elden Ring isn't slop.
>>751344926The wiki was empty and there weren't answers to most questions. I was there
>>751345667It is terrible to replay. I like planning out specific pure builds and every time you restart you are required to run around the map for about 90 minutes just collecting seeds and rings.
>>751343148Didn't count attempts, but it was 2 hours, I believe 8pm to 10pm
>>751345773sounds like a self-inflicted pain in the ass
>>751346002So wanting to play a new game is a self inflicted pain in the ass? I accept your concession.
>>751343148Like 12-15 tries.Was rocking an Urumi with Beast’s Roar when I fought her, and she was fucked the second she whiffed that flower nuke at the start of her second phase.
Dunno, like 20 times?One third through, started using mimic (lvl 5 or something).I was wearing the lil' goblin looking feller's halberd, not having any idea of how Bleed worked, and getting stumped everytime a chunk of her health got chopped out suddenly.I was a noob,Still am.
>>751345773thats literally every game. do NG+ or install the merchant mod
>>751345773Not to defend meta progression rogueslop, but repeated playthroughs would’ve benefitted GREATLY from wild Sites of Grace permanently being available once found.
>>751346413*addendumElden Ring is the game I've been playing 95% of the time I've been playing anything these last three years, yet I still am no that great at it.I personally don't much enjoy the PVE replayability of these games, but instead enjoy more the 1v1 pvp battles.Don't really like to fight, but am a bigger fan of having friendly fights.
>>751345773>about 90 minutes just collecting seeds and rings.No one is forcing you to do this, you can just pick the seeds and stuff on your way as you progress the game isn't hard enough to warrant doing that
>>751347553>Don't do the most optimal thingI really hate when people respond to me this way. Every single time. I never would have guessed I would be the only guy who likes to use the wiki to craft builds and look up all the best weapons and plan the entire playthrough to have the best possible weapons as soon as they come available just to see what it's like to be as powerful as possible going pure int or pure luck. Genuinely it disappoints me. What's wrong with not cheating and playing a pure? And there are 5 different stats so yes you have to do it multiple times. That doesn't even count just running through the game for fun. And again, why would I not rush all the mandatory seeds and shards and rings that give +all stats first instead of later?
>>751347817By that logic you could argue you most spend 10 hours grinding levels at the start so you have your ideal stats form the get goIt's just an autistic compulsion,I get I fell for the "spend 2 hours collecting everything at the start" thing too the first time I replayed and it was a chore, since then I replayed the game 5 more times without doing that and enjoyed it way more
>>751347817>why would I not rush all the mandatory seeds and shards and rings that give +all stats first instead of later?so that the first 90 minutes aren't a self-inflicted pain in the ass
I don't know.. maybe three or four attempts. Eleonora's Poleblade is a devastating weapon in the hands of a proper bleed build.
>>7513431482 or 3 because I accidentally made a cancerous status-ailment build that worked very well on her.Her animations get interrupted when she gets staggered by the procs for bleed and frostbite and I was applying both (plus poison and scarlet rot).Got absolutely destroyed by Radagon and Elden Beast though. Took me so many attempts to beat them because they're both immune to status ailments, rendering my cursed blades a near-harmless fruit knife/letter-opener combo.
>>7513431483
>>751343148After the fifth failed attempt I just used the mimic summon and proceeded to rape her bitch ass
fifteen fucking hours with no progress3 minutes with mimic tearI really wanted to like the fight, but the stagger/guard break/hyperarmor/whatever the fuck it's called inconsistencies broke me. Don't mind the damage, healing, WFD, two phases, rot, etc.
>>751343148I don't know but it was at least 50
>>751344059Before the bleed nerf updates I spent 2-3 days on her. I wasn't that good player back then and probably not even now.I had a strength build and used either a hammer or colossal sword. Didn't want to use bleed.Then I gave up and equipped the shittiest katana with bleed and she died before the second phase. I didn't even need to try.
>>751343148I beat it on my first try and Elden ring was my first (and only) souls game that I’ve beat
>>75134314850 or more even played with my own build and didn't abuse some broken shit though
I have no clue, maybe like 20 times? I remember it only took me about 45 minutes, less than an hour for sure but attempts could end pretty quickly not like I was counting
>>751350350>before the second phaseThis is literally impossible. She has two health bars. She will always go into phase two, you cannot skip it. Why larp
>>751343148Reminder: Everyone that says they beat it first try is a lying nigger
>>751351121Seething no skill detected
>>751343148Around 9. I summoned Mimic Tear for the first 8 times but it wasn't working so I summoned Tiche instead and got her in that one try. I love my 9 foot tall Black Knife Assassin gf
>>751343148Probably below 10? I was using pyromancies. Giantsflame Take Thee knocks her down. Burn O Flame also similarly just throws her around.
>>751351316I love her more
>>7513431481Tiche + Bleed-bolts on the pulley corssbow did everything for me.
>>751343148took like 4 hours i thinki actually like the fight a lot except the waterfowl thing needs like another half-second of startup so you can run when she does it point blank. And yes I know you can dodge it close range but it feels like a complete accident the way that you do it
>>751343148About 8 hours
>>751347817>optimize the fun out of the game>it's not fun anymoreFascinating behaviour.
>>751351440On my miracles only run I completely cheesed her by alternating Aspects of the Crucible: Horns and Flame of the Fell God if you get the timing right it's a near perfect stunlock
>>7513431482
>>751352013That is a good one too. Now that SotE is out Knight's Lightning Spear probably really messes her out too.
i think i tried her like 6 times and then i just used the mimic (launch week, blasphemous blade user)
>>751343148i didn't even try, i was ~120 hours into the game at that point and I needed a break from it.
>>7513431480i dont play shit games
>>751347817in my most recent run i beat the game with nothing but a +18 heavy club at level 80 something with 10 +4 flasks. no talismans, no crafting kit, no consumables, no great rune equipped, no summons.im not even good at video games. the fuck are you talking about "mandatory"? just play the game normally and grow into your build if you dont want to do ng+. its your own retarded arbitrary rule that you need all of your end equipment at the start. like wtf is that bro?
>>751352301what's your favorite soulslike
>>751352643Dark Souls 2
