It's really funny that Miquella abandons st Trina (his female aspect) then leaves a gay little cross saying "here I abandon my indecision and vacillation." Pretty based and redpilled fromsoft.
Can anyone drop me a Millicent Prothesis on PC?
>>483343716I thought his St Trina cross was the "I abandon here my love"
so whats the loar behind madness niggers being invincible
>Dragon Communion is endorsed by PlacidusaxHuh, didn't except something like this in the DLC. Shame about me turning into a Magmawyrm.
>cerulean coastliterally what is the point of this place other than being nice to look at for about 5 minutes
>>483343794it is, anon is either retarded or pretending to be
>>483343765>PCjust download hexinton's table and spawn it in.
Highest Scooby-Doo level one can get without fighting any bosses? I think it's about 18 or 19 since Gaius blocks five.
>kills the person who would be the best monarch to prove monarchy is a shit system>leave peasants to figure shit out >literally plans to spend the next 1000 years entirely on her own on her "dark path" before the tarnished rizzed her up What did she mean by this?
I wanna do another DLC run but how do I do it?new save and use cheat engine to quickly get me there?
What are the odds of me getting banned if I play with this? https://www.nexusmods.com/eldenring/mods/3596I don't care about PvP but I do like seeing bloodstains and the messages people leave.
What's the verdict on Euporia?
>>483343840they're untouchable
has anyone powerstanced the Milady? is their powerstance moveset good?
Miquella... I still believe... in our shared dream
HELLO TO MY RL1 BROTHERSAbout to send my character into the dlc, how are the new weapons? I was looking at perfumer bottles for quick status application, do they have good base damage?
>>483343842Placidusax probably doesn't care about humans and just sees them as walking weapons
>>483343842can you say the m-word now at least
>>483343919Cool weapon idea whose AoW you will literally never ever get to use to any great effect
>>483343845it will do more damage with magic affinity because it's a magic ash.
>>483343928Might as well just use Rellana's at that point
Reminder Miquella sucked. He tries to synthesize what Marika did naturally to become a god. Even going back to the base game. He is inferior to Marika in every way and ALWAYS has been.
>>483343651>resting at site of grace while never being able to end the DLChttps://youtu.be/Q-3MqQMQFTY?t=40I'm sorry Miquella... by waiting idly and hoping I thought our dream could be fulfilled... I realize now that the best future can only be brought about by my own hands... perhaps in a way this DLC is a gift reminding me to bring all I have to bear upon the world... not relying on grace to grant it to me
>Spend hours upon hours trying to kill Fujo Radahn with the two summons>Decide to just go it alone>Beat him on my first tryJesus Christ, summons just make the bosses harder at this point
>>483343879>to prove monarchy is a shit systemShut up jew.
>>483343843St.Trina stuff.That said I'm kind of shocked just how much shit is tucked away for exploration.
>>483343349>>marika wants to be resurrected and fuck the tarnished herself>>marika wants ranni to become a god and fuck the tarnishedwhere is that said or implied
Why is the boss fight music so generic
>>483344014Rellana's have shit scaling and a shit super duper over the top anime bullshit AoW
>>483344126dvine beast lion is great fuck you
I used antspur rapier with poison coating and raptor of the mists to defeat gaius and im not ashamed
>mimic tears can use the eternal sleep pots and charming branchesThanks a lot Miquella. Now I can roleplay as a date rapist.
>>483343881my plan was to basically do that, plus grand merchant mod to save me some time running around. my understanding is you can cheat in non-cut content equipment freely, but getting key items for progress before reaching the correct flags can get you banned, so i was just gonna cheat to the bosses and fight them normally with my build and just do like a boss gauntlet thing up to the DLC zone.
>>483343957>RL1.....you have a heart of gold....don't let them take it from you.....
how did rolling sparks make it into the game in this state?https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Rwtmk9QhdPg
>>483343957>RL1 BROTHERS>About to send my character into the dlcI will never understand this level of retardation.
>>483344108The whole point of becoming Elden Lord is become the consort of the God-in-charge, meaning Marika.She's literally guiding you to become her husband/wife.
>>483344108NTA, but Grace is Marika guiding (You) on your path to becoming Elden Lord and marrying her, but considering her Grace also guides you to becoming Ranni's consort she must be ok with either outcome, especially since there's no guidance when it comes to the Frenzied Flame shit
Wish we'd have gotten Ranni at our side as her consort in the final fight so show which pair is stronger.
I'm assuming this is a boss so I think I've explored everything and now have 3 bosses to fight; whatever this is, Messmer or that boar rider. Who should I fight first?
What are some good strength/arcane weapons?
>Get Electrocharge>Oh wow cool it's like a damaging aura let's try it out>tickles enemies for 20-30 damage a secondWhat did Miyazaki mean by this?
>>483344410Radahn swords.
>>483344176just fought divine beast lion and holy shit, besides the camera fucking up several times the visuals were amazing
>marika is expressly shown to be a racist and genocidal >marika just wants tarnished to have an elden lord>promotional(canon) tarnished is a male >refuses to allow her gay sons to take her role so she's homophobic too>points you towards her or ranni's goals showing they're not contradictory in a way she cares for>it needs to be a heterosexual male>doesn't care if it's her or ranni>game establishes that the runes not just rennala's can be used to produce kids>ranni can still canonically get pregnant >the only ending where melina turns on you is the frenzy ending which makes reproduction impossible>Marika's entire motivation is for the player to MARRY AND REPRODUCE >Even if you don't choose her she's wholly okay with ranni taking her place so she supports rannifags tooIs marika /ourgal/? Marikachads WON. Rannichads WON. Frenzied cucks lost.
Doing a fresh run that is gonna beeline for the DLC, should I go ARC or INT? I'm hearing horror stories about how INT got fucked in the DLC.
>>483344405Fight that one, it'll be fun.
>She's still fighting the sunflowerI can save her
Do yall think they'll nerf the Fire Knight's Greatsword? The AR I get on it is ABSURD.
>>483344454Those scale off of strength and arcane?!
>>483344449Most of the incants and spells are meant for PVP, they're useless for the rest of the content.
>>483344405This was a really cool boss, good luck.
>>483344449
>>483344405Yes. You have to beat Skibbles three times in a row. Fortunately it takes chunky damage.
>>483344568Nvm I'm illiterate, thought u said str/int.
>>483344501
>>483344501Malenia is proof that Marika's hips run in the family, meaning all women born of Marika are endowed with ass. ergo, redhead ranni had a fat butt
>>483344267does the weapon skill scale off of faith
What are the lore implications of the Shaman Villiage?Why does Minor Erdtree need 70 faith to cast for a fucking heal
Whats their endgame?
Is it worth me making this change? I use frost on all my other weapons just because I only have level 12 arcane and 15 faith so speccing into blood is pointless for me but frost scales with weapon level so I've always used it and it has a decent buff to damage occasionally. I'm 36 strength 50 dex 30 int
>>483344620>TAKE THIS RADAHN! CRUEL SUN>200 damage>MY FINAL ATTACK. ELDEN STARS. PURSUE AND DESTROY HIM>300 damageshit game
>>483344261>>483344276It was an rl1 all remembrance run I completed last year! I just finished the dlc on my main file and am feeling confident enough to begin on my rl1 run, the new weapon possibilities are exciting (but I don't know if they'll beat the good ol' giant hunt greatsword)
>Miquella shatters his great rune>his soldiers in the Haligtree still suicide bomb you even though they're free from his mind control0/10
>>483344857
>>483344359i see, makes sense
>>483344835>lore implicationsMarika's home, her people were enslaved and tortured and stuffed into pots by the Hornsent, which is why Marika has such a genocidal hateboner for them.
>>483344502INT got literally the strongest AoW in the game since release. stronger than Hoarfrost probably People are morons
>completed every fight solo so far>going up the mountain killing filthy drakeniggers>Igon being an absolute madlad wants me to summon him for Bayle even though he doesn't have legsI mean how can I not?CAPTCHA: BK1NO
What's the best bleed build right now?
>>483344501>tarnished, finger maidens, get marriedbravo Michael Zachery
>ended up killing Romina before Messmer>kill messmer>rest at the grace>there's some NPC there>get distracted by something and rest at the grace again>NPC is gonewtf did I miss?I've done a solid 60% of this DLC's content completely out of order and irreversibly fucked quest progression on just about every quest
>>483344857Sleepy
>>483345060Which one? The divine lion stomp?
Anyone even use Miquella's Light yet? I haven't heard fuck all, good or bad, about it which is really weird for an orbital laser spell.
>>483344501My sigma female
>>483345064Fromsoft keeps making the NPCs associated with killing dragons the coolest motherfuckers.
>>483345129Carian Sovereignty. I really hope they don't nerf it.
>>483345163ive seen the webms where it nukes everything
>>483345102Hornsent
>>483344835Marika's people were shamans, they were seen as inferior by the hornsent, who believed that the shamans only purpose was to be cut up and made into jars, the fleshy things in the gaols are marika's people. After she became a god she returned the village and to remember her fallen people she put a minor erdtree there, offered a lock of her hair to the chief, and personally commanded two tree sentinels to protect it, along with Messmer
Only took 4ish days.
>>483345204it nukes people's FPS
>>483343842We're like Pajeets to the dragons, who are the like the Canadian / Japanese government. They probably consider us a lower form of life, but they're willing to put up with us trying to fuck their smoking hot dragon babes and pretend we're dragons too because we're useful to them. We just eat dragon hearts and turn into ugly wyrms instead of knowing computer science and stimulating the economy.
>>483343879Why would she eat and drink with her bottom arms and game with her top arms? Makes 0 sense
Thoughts on Shadaversity possibly being responsible for influencing Milady's moveset?https://youtu.be/u2KStOcXc8g
>>483345270>getting hoverhanded by your own boywifecringe
>>483345163I'll try it out once I beat the DLC with my Jeanne d'Arc build, but 72 Fth is a pretty high asking price.
Man, I just realized that the Original Sin isn't anything Marika did, it's the Hornsent who built their sacriligeous Crucible Tower then sacrificed thousands of shaman people to create the Divine Gate at the top of it to try and reach their gods.
is this in the DLC?>Greatsword patterned after the black steeple of the Helphen, the lampwood which guides the dead of the spirit world.>The lamplight is similar to grace in appearance, only it is said that it can only be seen by those who met their death in battle.
>>483345270Holy fucking based
>>483343651How did dragon fights become so shit?
Whats the recommended skibidi level for Bayle? I'm at +12.
>Make a mentally ill troon who starts giving birth to abominations in his pursuit to be a "mother" How did Miyazaki get away with this?
>>483345046>>483345254Interesting, thanks for the spoonfeed.
Now that we know that /ourguy/ Mohg was actually innocent, was Radahn also getting manipulated by Miquella or is he a gay pedo?
Wait... Does she really?
So you have to use a greatshield huh
>>483345346Post build? Well, armour & weapons really.
>>483343651>UNFAIR BOSSES:>Rape Victim>Pig ManEveryone else is fine. I’m Miyazaki btw.
>>483345396>all the bad guys are homos and troonswtf chudizaki??????
>>483345328>Thoughts on (Insert faggot speak here)
>>483345328>Shadaversitylmao not a chance, no one is paying attention to that grifter goon. He's too full of himself for thinking he's an influence on anything.There's a reason the majority of the medieval arms community severed all ties with him. He's an insufferable fool.
is there a limit on message appraisals? i've noticed that every time i start the game i get about 5 appraisals in the first couple minutes but then after that i literally never get any more even if i play for hoursalso, the only messages that get appraised are the ones i put down two years ago, none of my new messages have gotten a single appraisal even though they're in high-traffic dlc spots
>>483343842Was it ever implied to be forbidden by the dragons?
>>483344857being a Thin Beast Bones farm
>>483343843>demi-human boss with Yoda's INTsaber (this area is kind of like a little open world dungeon)>mausoleum boss>ghostflame dragon>stone coffin fissure>leads to the finger ruins for Ymir's questIt's just an interstitial area that happens to have some content in it. It needed a catacomb / cave or something, though. I really wanted to go inside of one of those stone coffin ships.
>>483345353This is from the base game
Dryleaf Arts and Dane's Footwork are the greatest weapons FromSoftware has ever created.
>>483345387As high as possible. I beat it at 17 with ng+5 scaling, not sure if he's necessarily harder than Radahn, but he certainly took me more tries
>>483345387I did it at 9
>>483344267Thank you for posting this and informing me. Cheese for cheese
>>483343919It's shit
Does anyone have a weapon poise spreadsheet ?
does it look like i missed anything crucial so far? i've only beat 2 remembrance bosses and am now on the dragon
>>483345328I remember watching this dude's video on castles long ago.
>>483345270bro turned a demigod into a cloak gg
Hearing the priestess gush about Lord Placidusax when I killed him is pretty funny, wish there was an option to tell her I killed him
>>483345163It's ok, I'm casting with 80/80 fai/arc and doing decent damage, it's not obscenely good but its good and cool enough to where you can certainly use it as much as you like
Imma be honest, the exploration doesn't feel rewarding at all. Most areas are just vast in space with literally nothing in there (Jagged Peak, I'm talking about you). They could have placed a random Rune[10] there in some random place you can go, but no, there is nothing. The only worthwhile thing I found by exploring so far war the Two-Handed talisman. I think I'll just stop playing right now and come back once 100% walkthroughs are out, because finding stuff out by myself just hasn't been fun. I seriously spent like 40 minutes looking for stuff in that path you take to the Coast and there's literally nothing. It's very frustrating to me, at least with walkthroughs I'll know exactly where to go.I haven't struggled with any boss so far, it's just this aspect of the DLC that is turning me off right now.
>>483345507there's a very merchanlike tendency for rats to copy good messages and repost them a few feet before so they can farm the points instead. normies are retarded herd animals and give points to the first message they see.
>>483345291It makes a lot of sense if you put it like that.
>>483343651>not a single proper Paladin-like Faith ultra/colossal greatsword in the entire game even after the DLC>the closest thing being the weapons from the final boss of the DLC, except that for some reason they fucking require INT>most colossal swords require fucking INTI hate this fucking game so much man. It's impossible for me to make the type of character I want to, and even to try it requires me to have so much stats that I would be pushing toward level 200 which is dumb and cringe.The itemization, level system, and multiplayer system are all so badly designed.
If I haven't started NG+ on this save does it affect the bosses in the dlc? Harder, easier?
I give up. Fuck this game, fuck miyazaki, fuck fromsoft, fuck all nu souls fans and fuck you.Perfumer cheese here I go.
>>483345492>tfw thought Robinswords was a bigger faggot
>>483345507Wouldn't surprise me, because I remember around release of the base game when a couple people became nigh immortal with popular messages due to everyone funnelling into the exact same locations.
What the fuck was the point of Romina, she came out of nowhere, with 0 buildup and made 0 sense to have that scarlet rod zone there guarding the tree.Also how the fuck did Miquella get to Enis Illim before you when he didn't even have a body (was in the cocoon)
>>483345507I've seen several messages with thousands of appraisals. You can game the system a little by exiting the game and starting over. for whatever reason I get barraged by updoots in the first few minutes after starting the game and then they become more and more sparse as I play. If you quit and reload regularly you'll get more praise. Granted you'll need the message to be good enough for someone to want to praise it in the first place.
>>483344787ACTUALLY there's more confirmation. We see ranni's corpse, proportionally it's ass is larger than marika's and radagon's. We also know that fat burns and she's a charred corpse. Her ass was even fatter when she was alive. We also know that radagon had a fat ass too. It's entirely possible that, besides the omens and messmer, every single demigod male or female was born with a dumbtruck of an ass. Infact it's wholly possible that melina is hiding a massive ass too.
>>483344925Bro, your god killing black flame or destined death???
>>483345791Spirit body
>>483345791She's just a prophet of the rot goddess as a reason to have scarlet rot in the game.
>>483345737uhhh your fire knight greatsword?
>>483345492>There's a reason the majority of the medieval arms community severed all ties with him.Because he isn't a cuck to progressive politics, they just hate that he's outspoken and popular.
>>483345561Bone Fist still reigns for Hadoukens. Guess I'll just have to use incantations to substitute.
>YOU CANT CHANGE GEAR WHILE GESTURING BECAUSE.... YOU JUST CANT, OKAY!What year was this game made in?
Anyone managed to find a map that shows all the remembrance mausoleum thingies for the dlc?
>>483345737Yeah why the fuck do Radahn's new swords need fucking INT?
>>483344061The summons on Radahn scale him way too much, if you go in alone you hit him way harder
correct me if i'm wrong, the reason they need int is because radahns swords have GRAVITY damage, which effects certain monsters, right? the dlc ones. im not spoiling myself on much so I don't know, i'm guessing this is why people think that meteoric new one is "bugged" for having int no scaling and arc.
>>483345467Can't remember it off the top of my head. Commander's Standard is the main weapon, though.
>greatshield poke build>put my sign down for radahn/miquella>effortlessly get to phase 2 and then some, tanking the boss and poking him with poison/rot and frost>host instantly dies to the meteor transition every single time
>>483344410Marais Executioner Sword. It’s blender ash of war is pretty sick
>>483344410Blood Infused Bloodfiend's Arm? That gives you C/B Str and Arcane scaling plus some hefty bleed. There's also the Ancient Meteoric Ore Greatsword, although that completely foregoes status despite being a Str/Arc weapon.
>died a lot to the avatar tree but finally killed>back to exploration>walk into a open field>big boar running full speed at meaaaaaa another dying session....
>>483345737They added a fantastic paladin weapon that has a unique effect if you spec it to Sacred, it's built for paladins.Black steel greathammer
Jesus you fuckers weren't joking about Bayle
I give up on Radahn after 4 hours banging my head against a wall. Probably the first time in the DLC I stopped having fun. Maybe I'm just too old but half of his p2 attacks feel too fast to even tell what is going on and react to properly. I even had the fight bug out a couple times in different ways, one of which a second Radahn spawned during p2 which just stood there and didnt attack, but my mimic kept attacking despite him being invulnerable. I dont think I've ever had a boss bug out like this before in a FROM game, weird.Anyway I feel they will probably nerf him when all the normies playing 2 hours a day get to him and get completely filtered.
>>483345102It's Hornsent crying because you didn't summon him for Messmer, even though all he does if you do is strafe back and forth in the corner of the room
I don't care about fat asses, only fat tits
Redpill me on a few DLC things. Is the damage still cranked the fuck up? 2-3 shot by everything at 60~ vig? What are the bosses like? Is Malenia the baseline? More shit like her?How balanced the weapons/spells/etc vs the base game? Are they just way better?
>>483345930they made swapping a lot more restricted to avoid shit like bowglitch
Which dlc incantations deal holy manage? Or, how can you tell if an incantations deals holy damage?
>>483346034BAAAAAAAYLE
>>483345328He's just joking.>>483345902They hate that he's Mormon and getting more sponsorships than they ever got despite trying to position themselves as docents and historians. They don't understand how much entertainment drives engagement.
>>483345827>The real reason messmer was banished was because he had no assDeepest lore.
Coop in this dlc is impossible because you’re scaled down to the hosts skibidi level and nobody ever fucking levels it
>attempt to summon>summon failed>every timeam I shadow banned?
Bros I'm kind of having fun fighting Radahn...How do you dodge the ghost overhead though, that's pushing my shit in
>>483346105He's making each try much more bearable.
>>483346126is that why co-oping bosses is so much harder as a summon than as the host?
>>483346054>It's Hornsent cryingI never even met this motherfucker or knew he existed until the gank fight pre-radahnI did a shit ton of exploring but all in the perfectly wrong order to miss just about everything
>>483343651I'm conflicted, anons. I want to do either a bloody katana build (Dex/Arc) or a dragon build with beast claws. Are beast claws a viable weapon through the whole game?
>>483345975>hefty bleed>TWO HUNDRED-FUCKING-THIRTY BLEED BUILDUP>2-HIT R2 THAT INSTAPROCS BLEED ON MOST ENEMIES WHEN CHARGEDYeah hefty is right
>>483345508The rot dragon guarding the entrance to the Caelid church can be considered that, along with the obvious "hey, don't fucking kill and eat me"I vaguely remember some other things that would imply Drakes don't want to be used for Dragon Communion.Ancient Dragon's being fine with it kind of makes sense, none of the Ancient Dragon's you kill drop Dragon hearts, so you can't even do communion with them, meanwhile Magmawyrms and Drakes all drop hearts for this.It's still kind of a shock that Placidussax invented it though
Best crutch for a shitter?
>>483346153restart the game
>>483345827>we also know that fat burns>fat burns>kindling maiden>fat burnsIt writes itself.

>>483346034>CUUUURRSSEEEEEE YOOOOOUUUUUUUUUU BAAAAYYYYYYLLLLLLLEEEEEEE
>>483345046>>483345254Marika really did nothing wrong.
>>483346153No everybody is trying to summon help right now
>Marika did nothing wrong.>Malenia did nothing wrong beyond being too trusting of her brother.We had it all wrong all along bros.
Can anyone drop me a Mohg's spear? I don't want to have to do NG+ to be able to get two.
>>483345492>GrifterI thought his issue was that he's too honest with his opinions
>>483344835Marika's hatred and rejection of Omens and treatment of Morgott and Mohg make a lot more sense (although that's still a horrendous way to treat your kids).
If we sided with the FF and Melina leaves us, wouldn’t she kill our character later on when we burned the whole place?
>>483345507The game saves appraisals that happened when you were offline and gives you one every minute or so when you're back online, so that you can potentially make use of the heals.I don't know if this is true, it's just logical.
I gave up
There isn't a single person who would look at Prime Radahn (forma de faggot) using all those light beams, and think>he's STR/INTFuck you, Miyazaki. Make those swords single greatswords instead of a forced paired colossal, and have them scale with STR/FAI.

So can we all agree that these 4 won? >marika and ranni were proven right and are the only canonical love interests with marika supporting ranni if tarnished does her quest>morgott was proven right to send his einsatzgruppe after tarnished and omens and was rewarded by being de-omenfied at the end>mohg beat the pedo allegations and is actually a victim of a homosexual groomer>all of godfreys descendants turn out to be based, even nepheli, and his potential descendant if hero class, the tarnished, gets to succeed him and either bang marika or ranni, proving beyond all reasonable doubt that his descendants are the best
>>483346404The light beams are from Miquella. Radahn has always been a STR/INT chad.
>>483344267it's bugged. only the lightning and frenzy bottles do that much damage, imo the extra particles from those effects are unintentionally also doing damage. the other bottles do more reasonable damage levels, though still pretty good.

God damn the smithscript spear is nuts. You should not be able to hit for a few thousand at range for literally no fp cost.

>skibidiit's called skadussy
>>483346738It was a different time. Demon Souls was considered hard when it came out. In a few years we may look back at ER and think the same.
>>483346715How? I legit don’t know where to goI’ve finished Midra and MesmerIs there another way out of Shadow Keep?
Zero chance of another DLC expansion after this, right?
>>483345387level 13 and it took me an hour of dying in the last phase at 20%switched to the dragon katana and destroyed him
>>4833460721. eat your fucking skibidi fragments and actually invest in damage negation (30% is fucking FREE with opaline hard tear and crab, by the way) if you want to tank things.2. bosses range from Morgott to Malenia in terms of difficulty, a few here and there that are easier, especially in the open world3. it's a mixed bag. some are very strong, some are balanced, some are weak. the good thing is that there are very few "dud" weapons like ivory sickle, the imp hatchet, etc. that have no redeeming qualities. yes, there's an imp hatched in the DLC, but it at least has a unique skill that's funny.
>>483346813>In a few years we may look back at ER and think the same.A scary thought to be honest.
Why is the frenzy flame forest so full of life?I thought that shit destroyed everything?Not create a weird fucked up ecosystem based around it.
Who /takingitslow/ here?Started playing on release and just beat Rellana without cheating (no summons/shields/ashes/bleed). Just pure old dodges and the occasional parry.
>first playthrough of the DLC>my main is on NG+2>fourth time I got Radahn to sub-20%I hate this fucking fight so much and I'm fucking stupid for picking this character

Is there any way to have Moore fight on your side? Can I prevent this dude from dying at all? Please?
>>483346860Zero. All ER content is done.ER 2 though, that's been a talking point.

>>483346894Yo. Only done 3 remembrance bosses so far, currently working on Messmer.
>>483346442>you get to have 1 hit before running away, you deal miniscule damage and if you get hit by anything you die Considering the current design direction, this will be the average boss fight in a couple more Soulslike titles by From Slop
>accidentally lvled to 155NYOOOO
>>483346860practically yes. but who knows. the IP is insanely popular. making new DLC is probably cheaper than making a sequel from scratch. there's still lore stuff they could work with. more they could add.
>>483346813And we'll still be piloting the same bumbling rolling retard from ds1. Chilling to think about
>>483346812I prefer skadoosh.
Is 46134 HP too much?
>>483346738yet it's still the most visceral dragon fight in these games (ok I haven't fought Bayle yet so I might change my mind soon). Something I've noticed is that his forward momentum is a lot more reasonable, you can sort of naturally predict the range of attacks
>>483346937You either tell to be sad forever and he dies or you tell him to suck it up and he fights you. And dies.
i thought bale won the fight against placidusax because he cut 3 of his heads.but now that i saw him i can confidently say he 100% lost, placidusax defiled him, no left leg, right wing arm fucked up with the bones sticking out.what a loser.
>>483346510>>483346889Well that's disappointing. I'll wait for a sale. >just use crab!You don't get it.
>>483346860No, they're working on Oceans below the Erdtree DLC, which will feature the GEQ and retcon all of the retcons in this DLC.

>>483345827poor lanky ass messmer
>>483346894i've only beaten 4 of the main bosses so far. haven't gotten to Bayle, haven't beaten Messmer yet. gonna hold off on Messmer until i do more of the side content.
>>483347080He's literally the only NPC I give a shit about. Dude had me mourning him after 3 instances talking to him.
>>483346812I call them doodoo fragments
>>483346860Didn't they already confirm no more dlc, but the possibiity of a sequel?
>>483346530Go left before the path to Belurat, through the cave tunnel. It's in Prospect Town where a bunch of Bloodfiend's are chilling.
>at level 5 skibidee>games too fucking hard man>explore a bit, get to level 14 skibidee>steamrolling every boss I encounterGod fucking damnit why the fuck did From design it like this? I wish there was a way to revert the upgrades, I literally just smacked Bayle around like he was a pinata.

>>483347230Because different people will get to the DLC at different times.
Do I break Fia's quest if I give D's armor to D before reaching the Deeproot Depths?
Optimization patch when? This dlc runs so fucking poorly.
>>483347209What the fuck would they even do for the story/world for a sequel to take place?
>>483347019why do u care? I have no problems invading or helping people while being 240
I feel like they kept the janky hitboxes of pre-nerf radahn on consort radahn I swear his shit hits weird and don't get me started on phase 2. Miquella's nuke and orbital drop is just not fair.
>>483347171The worm pill...Snakes are wyrmsWyrms are wormsWorms are parasites...
This dlc is demoralizing. It's both the fact that every enemy and boss is cbt inducing, but at the end of all that struggle you find out the boy you were interested in is already fucking chad. Humiliation ritual.

What scadutree level should I be for this fight?
why are elden ring players like this
>>483347319The boy will kiss you if you let his man choke you first.
I feel like the story would have been a little bit better if it was made more clear to the player, at least by the mid-late game, that miquella sees the player as a threat.they could keep the beginning of the DLC as-is, but the plot twist point would begin at messmer, who would again largely be the same, with the major difference being that it sticks to the cut dialogue where he not only name drops miquella, but that miquella told him who you are. that would explain not only why he knows we're a tarnished lord-sanctioned by marika, but reveal to the player that miquella is both friendly with messmer, but also went out of his way to warn him about us. this could itself be used as a more fleshed out explanation for messmer's disgust and panic in regards to fighting us, as he would see us as a direct threat to miquella's divinity.this could then segue more naturally towards a reveal that the growth around the belurat being deliberately set by miquella to keep the player out, and the miquella followers becoming antagonistic to the player as they all figure out that you were never guided by miquella, and are in fact an enemy.
>>483346506>I've come to a realization...>Without Miquella literally mind controlling me, I'm very suspicious of other people>...>Anyways, I'm going to kill everyone, bye
>>483347319that's why you kill him and chad, and then get summoned to help other people kill them
>marika doesn't mind ranni's questline being done or ranni taking her place and fucking the tarnishedIs it okay if I commission a comic of marika forcing ranni's face into the tarnished's crotch before nodding approvingly with godfreys ghost givingba thumbs up in the background then marika crumbling away?
>>483347396>Marika absolved of any guiltexplain
The only way the timeline of this DLC makes sense is if Messmer was born in Leyndell and lived among his family for a while but then got sent on a crusade into an already-sealed Shadowlands and Marika trapped him
>oh damn this weapon is cool as fuck>use it>it fucking SUCKSbros... why does this keep happeningdoes the DLC have a single weapon that's good AND fun?

>>483347084>why can't i face tank things without investing in face tanking???
>>483347171messmer is why everybody hates snakes, not because they hate messmer, but because they hate what happened to him.
>>483346518>>483346589>>483346965Whatever. I see swords that shoot out yellow beams, I think STR/FAI. Didn't need three weapon paired colossal based on Radahn that all scale the same. I would even settle for the weapon skills being ashes we could put on weapons.
>>483343957>Perfume bottlesThey're a little busted. I think RL1 characters could do good dmage with them.
>>483347501Messmer was born at the same time as Melina (hes melina's twin). But he was cursed with SNAKES so Marika sent him to the Shadowland and he started purging things.

>>483346506>lonely mentally unstable woman develops psychotic obsession with underage male figure>goes ballistic and becomes a danger to others when woken up from this delusion many such cases
So the endings are basically>reestablish the same old order only you are Marika's next husband (who she will probably discard once she is done with you), (Demi)god Game of Thrones probably continues with the next litter >reestablish the order in its purest form, with God Politics being banned and Marika having no say >establish a new order, take it away from the planet, let people figure it out >(not an ending but Miquella's goal): Establish an order where you take the free will of others away, making everything kind and peaceful but with people essentially mind controlled by you >plunge the world into undeath >CHAOS>Peepee poopooLets say you were ACTUALLY there and had to make a choice. What would you personally do? Assume letting Miquella win is also an option.
>>483347427can't wait for dsp to get to bayle and radahn
>>483347501Yes and? This all takes place after Marika married Godfrey and was giving birth to babies. The crusade is likely the last war in the war to conquer the Lands Between since Messmer knew about Tarnished and that means it was started after Godfrey was sent away.
>>483346937I said "I dont know" after the rune broke and didnt kill any forager bugs and he lived after the final boss but was a bit sad that everyone is gone and only I visit him

Inft/fth bros... how are you guys dealing with Radahn, any tips? Weapons? Sorceries? Incantations?
>>483347469>if ranni's questline is done then marika's plan was just to get ranni, a carian, a family known for tragic romance, specifically the females, a bf so she can stop being a retarded seething femcel and properly take her place as goddess so she can finally die and be with her family. While also giving her a "fuck you have fun trapped as a god lmao" for killing her sonNo matter how it's interpreted marika is a good lady. She's done nothing wrong. Ever. Not a single time in her life. I love her so much. She's the best wife/step-mother in law you could ask for.

>>483346686>how do i get heredrain the church district
I was kinda disappointed by the cutscene where Radahn fucks Miquella in front of the player character. It felt somewhat patronising, after all I went through to finally see him.
>>483347471Every single opponent to Marika's ideal ideology is either perverted, twisted, selfish or incompetent.>Ranni>"Tarnished thank you for the ring but I'm going on a journey through the cold dark of space to separate us from the influence of the gods and bring about turbo atheism to solve the problems that I myself created.">Mogh>Mogh>Fia>"Undead should be allowed in the golden order.

>>483348063He wants revenge
>>483347958Anon you maybe have a wee. Start now.
Why do people think Miquella has only mind control powers? He supernatural charisma isn't mind control, it's literally making people fall in love with him. There isn't a point where you stop falling in love. It isn't like temporary confusion.
>>483348119NOOOOOOOOOOO

How do you beat these guys? You can beat them, right?
>>483346585anyone got any ideas?
Well, I did it. Beat Radahn at scadu level 14, which is definitely too soon.Big thanks to Rolling Sparks, which is definitely getting nerfed.
>>483347898gold mask got in an arguing match against an absentee and it killed him
>>483347319You're there to put the Incubus down as Ranni's champion. Or you're doing it wrong.
>>483346974hornsent also uses blackflame shit.my take is that the GEQ was specifically their queen, but they had a deep-seated fear of death that led to them supporting marika in revolution.
Balance/bug fix patch comes out this week, I think. Thursday or Friday.
>>483348259Damn the Frenzied Flame got hands
>>483347958Don't worry anon there's no way they'll totally gut it, right?

>>483348262Parry them
>>483348262Parry
INT got literally nothing worth using from the dlc
Will we ever get a boss as good as Gael or Isshin again? Feels like they're hitting a dead end on boss design.
>Shots in the trailer Miyazaki said were really important to the story and he can't spoil>They're not in the gameHow is he allowed to get away with bullshitting to this degree
What happened to the fun
>>483348108Marika will lead you to ranni's quest if you do it. She's not an opponent to marika's ideals at all. That's the funniest part about it, she THINKS she is but is still one of her pawns. That's what makes marika so based. Every ending besides the frenzy benefits marika in some way.
Are those ghostly larval tears in the dlc a fixed amount?
>>483348261I was willing to acquiesce that the goldmask won the most out of the people who lost but what kills the goldmasks character? I'm very interested to hear your point.
>>483348192>first four sections of the video are Intro, Giveaway, Sponsor, and "Addressing the Level 713 Hate"Yeah, no, fuck off and post a greentext instead, stupid frogposter

is the fucking perfume the only good FTH weapon in the DLC?
>>483348225yeah man, it does charm them. It's not temporary. They literally fall in love with Miquella.
Why is Miquella such a brother fucking shota? Is it Miyazaki's secret fetish? >inb4 ">secret"
>bloodfiend arm has 200+ bleed build upHoly shit what
>>483346283just because she has some justification for her actions now doesn't make her any less of an insane bitch
>>483347701Well, now that we know the Greater Will isn't communicating with anyone, and the Fingers are a sham, Ranni and Goldmask's ending seem like they'd result in the same thing, just with the Elden Ring and (you) being in space or not
Man Metyr was actually easy as shit, I was expecting another bullshit fight after Bayle.
>>483347797For a quest also there's a talisman
>>483348408New thorn sorcery is the best bleed thing in the game.Carian Sovereignty is the best AoW in the game.Glintstone nail (charged) is the best FP/DMG ratio in the game.You are just retarded.
>>483347295yes, making up random gibberish like they have been from all their other games is suddenly a lost art
>>483348059>if ranni's questline is done then marika's plan is to help ranni stop being a seething femcelUm...rannibros? Our response

I'm really enjoying the fall for the Petruscent Knight every time I die.
>Ore greatsword has a stingerHow do I make a cuhrayzee build in this game
>>483348521because all the demigods are related / because its hot
>>483347701I'd probably just sit on the great runes for an indeterminate period of time like gideon. Before the DLC I would've said ranni but knowing the new lore there's basically no difference.

>>483348501>Radahn had his soul ripped out of his body and placed into an OmenWhy the fuck is Miquella like this
>>483345897Not Holy, also more of a DEX weapon, which is another annoyance I have with the stat requirements they've put on colossal swords in this game, including the weapons I mentioned with their retarded 24 DEX requirement.
God please help me and my autism. My insistence on role playing is really harming my ability to play the dlc. Some bosses are so fucking difficult with my rp setup, but my autism won't let me change it. Thank fuck there was a shield that matched my aesthetics, but it's a medium shield so it's not "ideal." This is truly suffering.
>>483348413hehe delayed attack hehe
>>483348528And the heavy attack seems to doubles it
>>483347514It's called great katana
>>483348063He wants revenge against MarikaYou're Marika's bitchGet it twisted.
Is the 400 blood loss buildup on the thorns spell a glitch or did from actually design it to do that, I've seen people proc bleed 3 times in 1 cast for 12-15k damage with the right setups. I feel an emergency nerf incoming
Got only a couple bosses left and I havent really cast any spells. Made this for DMG, but to be honest its gotten pretty boring at that point. Was hoping the DLC would have some more weapons I can use or some cool sorceries but it seems like I will have to do a second run as STR/FTH instead if I want to have fun and try stuff out.
>>483343842>>483346583>>483346439>>483345291It also explains why the banished knights have dragon stuff in the armor and yet some of them can use Dragon Comunion spells like breathing fire, they were working for the Ancient Dragons.An if you want to stretch a bit further, they could be Godwyn's/Golden Lineage man as they were banished from the capital after Godefroy/Godrick pulled their little stunt.
>>483348512>He hasn't found euphoria
Never played a caster before.Do you have to worry about FP flasks when progressing on levels or fightning bosses?I'm a pure endure into charged heavy attack enjoyer so I don't know.
What's a good Scadu level for doing the drakes on Jagged Peak? I'm at 5 right now.
>>483347171That's one hell of a tapeworm
>malenia abandoned these cuties to depression and lonelinessBITCH
>>483348731I believe in the Tarnished. He can make miracles happen.
So did it turn out Miquella is the real villain or something?
>>483348108>ranniPlays into marikas plans, order is still there, she gets to finally be at peace>mohgDoomed to fail his entire plan was put in his head by a yandere shotacon>FiaBrings back some aspect of her dead beloved son in the mending rune >GoldmaskLet's marika rule but without the stress involved with having the religion be all about herLiterally EVERY.

>>483346015I appreciate the advice and while it's a nice looking weapon I want to use colossals. I've been using them since Demon's Souls and prefer them over standard greatswords and greathammers.
>Missed out on Thollier's QLStone Fissure was blocked when I first found it, saying Miquella was blocking it so I figured I'd have to kill him first.

>>48334892520 because everything in this DLC has a bloated healthpool and that's the only way to make it not turn into a boring roll fest while you tickle down their health bar

>>483348262Parry them and it breaks whatever buff they have that makes them immortalyou do NOT have to actual parry them twice in row.

>>483348413Gofrey/Hoarah Loux is pretty good.
>>483344951they started suicide bombing AFTER miquella left
>>483348428it was never against her goals anon, she says so herself.Make of thyselves that which ye desire. Be it a Lord. Be it a God. But should ye fail to become aught at all, ye will be forsaken. Amounting only to sacrifices...the only thing marika did was tell us how to get to them, what came of that was entirely up to the demigod.
>>483349052I'm not saying he didn't kill me like 20 timesBut once he clicks he's a joke of a fight
IGNORING DIFFICULTY this is how I would rate the bosseskino design and movesets>Midra, Messmer, Rellana, Metyr, Putrescentmeh design and movesets>Radahn, Scadutree, Dancion Lionlegitimately just shit>GaiusShame because I think with some proper balancing (less damage, more downtime between attacks) at release, people would've considered many of these bosses some of FromSoft's best.
>>483348987I did it at 7 with the dragon slayer katana and Igon, plus defense talismans and Alexander. I thought it was really easy, too.
>>483348408Bro what? It feels like everything worth caring about is DEX and INT
>>483348973Wait does this mean that no matter what, marika gets what she wants?
>>483347954looks like he got stomped and took no damage at 13:40:22
Is endurance a meme?
>>483348413The community jerks off difficulty so much that bosses being difficult over good is the natural endpoint.
HOW DO I KNOW WHICH INFUSION IS THE BEST FOR MY WEAPON
>>483348895Early game, mana management will be an important part of your gameplay, but when you get maxed out flasks + a good amount of mind youll essentially end up with what is basically infinite fp
>>483349052Probably because you (a) are not using a holy weapon (hes very weak to it even on non fth builds) (b) are not dodging TOWARDS him and (c) arent jumping his aoe attacks.
>>483348973>>483349171FaithKINGS where we at?
>Onze, a master swordsman who devoted himself to the Star-Lined Sword, realized that only ruin awaited at the end of the procession of stars, and imprisoned himself in order to forestall it.A fucking DEMI-HUMAN realized the primeval current shouldn't be fucked with and Sellen didn't. That's actually hilarious, how is she so stupid?
Does this mean Mohg was a tragic hero
I actually enjoyed the Radahn fight, but if the difficulty tuning keeps going up, I'm worried for future games that aren't offshoots like Sekiro
>>483348797There is nothing wrong with Omens, Marika.
>>483349127The furtive Romina, so easily forgotten
>>483348521miquella didn't want radahn for fucking, he wanted radahn because radahn is well-suited to endless war
>Reviews are down>"PEOPLE NEED TO GET LE GOOD!!!"Have you ever stopped to consider that maybe this level of difficulty isnt fun? People like challenge. Thats why they play Fromsoft games. But this challenge isnt that most people would consider fun.Its really annoying to see people try to downplay this and completely missing the mark about why people are unhappy with the level of difficulty in this DLC. Malenia was hard, but fair. It never felt bullshit except for maybe Waterfowl.People need to actually read the specifics into why people are unhappy instead of immediately dismissing it.
>>483349205depends on your stats
I'm in the frenzy flame forest.Saw the message saying that combat was not an option.Tried killing one of those eye guys.>Hits don't register at allAre they invincible the entire time?
Wait? So malenia is a fujoshi? Where is this said?

>>483347295It couldn't be in the lands between but there's many hints towards other regions in the world, I like how the lands between is this strange land with it's own alien god and culture obscured by fog, it could be like the elder scrolls where each game explores a new region with it's own strange culture with some through-lines connecting each like the outer gods. They would have to get GRRM to write for it again though, I like my Miyazaki kino but it's not Elden Ring without the fat fuck, it's the one thing I'm happy for him to be writing instead of The Winds of Winter Lots of possibilities, the land of reeds is some fantasy version of japan in the midst of a bloody civil war influenced by the formless mother who we still don't know much about, could be a chance to do a souls fantasy RPG in a japanese setting
>>483349247she was too obsessed with it, demi human was wiser
>>483349127Scadutree avatar is a cute little gimmick fight that doesn't stop you from using a variety of different tactics to actually hit the head. I enjoyed it, personally. I think the lack of any build-up to the boss hurts it, though.Dancing Lion would be infinitely better if the camera was at an appropriate distance for the combo where he flies through the air. Fighting the second one in the ancient ruins made me appreciate the fight more, for some reason.
>>483349283Legitimately what is so hard about the DLC? There hasn't been a single part of the DLC that has even approached the hardest shit in the base gameRadahn and Malenia in the base game took me 3 days of attempts eachThe longest a boss has taken me in the DLC is 1 hour 30 minutesI'm genuinly asking what people have found so hard in this DLC because I'm not seeing it
>>483347514backhand blades
I have 99 FTH in Miquella. I am not deterred.
I'm cumming buckets every time this thing lands. Looks like if you get hit by the melee portion you cannot escape the detonationIt also allows you to explode people through walls like Giantsflame, except for even higher damage, absurd.
>>483349251A hero? No, he did still serve an outer god with questionable motives at best. But was he a victim of Miquella? Absolutely.>>483349283>Have you ever stopped to consider that maybe this level of difficulty isnt fun?Have you considered there's other games you could be playing instead of asking them to make this one easier? There's ONE overtuned boss, Radahn. Gaius also needs his hitboxes fixed to match the animation. These aside? The difficulty is fine.
Post why you think Radahn is good boss design and how many women you’ve had sex with
How do I get up here??? I finished Mesmer
>>483348501sadly I think radahn was meant to be a genuine seluvis-style meat puppet.
Why the ABSOLUTE FUCK do we NOT have a level down feature yet?I don't want to hold 500,000 runes because I'm level 150, the new PvP meta isn't defined, and I don't want to literally brick a 100 hours save.FUCKING ADD ITDon't pretend it's for pvp balancing, you never cared about that
I've tried Rahdan for 6 hours todayI've gotten him down to less than 20% HP more times than I can countI even got good at parrying him, making the first phase much easier.But then I run out of resources in this war of attrition that is his chip-damageExtra funny if you get him that low, and then get grabbed for a 2nd time, way over at his side (the hitbox on that grab is inexcusable)He's a poorly designed bossI will respec into bleed tomorrow, I gave it my all, but this is just straight up bad, he's making me subtract an entire point from my rating of the DLC, its no longer a 9/10, the finale is ruined and it will leave a sour taste in my mouth for the whole DLC.
>>483347621You really don't get it.
I'm doing my no-hit run and Scadutree Avatar and Lion were unexpected the two hardest so far.
>>483349506there are a shit ton of pvp spells and skills in the dlc that are COMPLETELY useless in pve, like that one
>Scadutree avatar >After the 2nd phase it starts slowing down. >Still desperately trying to kill you but can't move as fast. >Little delay before it rushes you now like its trying to get the energy.Never thought I'd feel bad for a flower.
>>483349247>Monkey man learns judgement cut>Decides this is as good as it gets and retiresSellen's a fucking moron
>>483349258Oh yeah I meant to add her to the kino designs
Oh the game does actually tell you, you can parry them.
Just fought Midra, I expected Madness spam cancer but it was actually pretty basic Fromsoft boss with sword slash and shit. Pretty cool, though I wish they skipped the super easy phase 1 after the first time, it gets tedious after a while. The whole area in general might be one of the best ones they've ever done in terms of atmosphere.So far from easiest to hardest Remembrance bosses:Scadutree Avatar < Midra < Dancing Lion < Gaius < Rellana < Messmer.I guess I'll go to the south section of the map now, I heard there are dragons.
>>483349247Read what procession means. It's the orderly movement. The procession of stars is the movement of stars. What it's saying is that the movement of stars eventually leads to ruin. It has nothing to do with sellen. It's likely the reason radahn froze the stars seeing "oh we're in a grimderp setting let's stop that shall we?"
>>483349587Yeah Radahn is the single only badly designed boss. They went overboard and need to fix him. Well that and correct Gaius's hitbox on his charge anyway.
>>483349283>Malenia was hard, but fairOn release people were saying she was the most unfair bullshit boss From has ever made. Then people got good or accepted they needed a crutch, it's just the cycle of things.
>>483349335She's a cuckquean.
holy shit finally beat this bitch. no summons but i resorted to this meme build
>>483349587Use Rolling Sparks and aim it at his feet and kill him in 2 minutes
>>483349506I'm definitely retooling my main character into a Messmer flame incantation build as soon as I'm done with the DLC. Right now I'm pure STR with a little faith using mostly buffs and the smithscript weapons. While fun in PVP (the shield is comically broken, by the way), I can definitely feel the limitations of the build in honest 1v3s.
is Claymore the best
are there any new useful ashes of war for ultra greatsword? aside from better lions claw i havent really seen too many good ones, or is it still giants hunt or lions claw only
>>483348959miquella mind-raped malenia into abandoning those cuties
>>483349523get out the back of the castle. you can beat the boss for a remembrance and skibidis x5. do the marika lore thing and collect the gesture at her hometown then perform it in front of the marika status 10 feet from the grace.
>>483349683>Radahn is the single only badly designed bossOutside of Lion most of these bosses seem uninspired.
>>483348879>need to do a full 5s combo to get the buffeuporia SUCKS!
>>483347701I think anyone who believes in god irl would choose Goldmask and anyone who doesn't would choose Ranni, the others are all retarded
>>483349509>Have you considered there's other games you could be playing instead of asking them to make this one easier?Where did I say Im asking to make it easier? Im asking to make it fun.
>>483349419yes>>483349434you get the thrusting shield at the shadow keep
>>483349247>>483349439>>483349645>>483349680So it's not the primeval current? It's just saying that "fate leads to ruin" then why did miquella want radahn dead so badly? Is he retarded?
>>483347701Goldmask. I wouldnt trust Ranni, yet another nepo baby, to not fuck this up especially considering she orchestrated the whole shitshow thats currently unfolding.
>crimson seed talisman +1I think this shit is staying permanently equipped, even in invasions. it's too good.
>>483349680It doesn't have to be literal procession as in movement anon. Words can have double meanings or be used symbolically. We don't know what the primeval current is outside of that fucking with it is taboo and is a huge mistake, same goes for this "procession of stars". It's very likely they are the same thing.
>>483349716not anymore
>>483349693>no summonsyou didn't beat the game
>Jerren would be sad with the radahn resurrection shitTruly a honorable warrior different from freyja and battle autism
>>483349835i think it is the primeval current personally, no reason to believe it isn't
>>483349770>get out the back of the castleHow? I only found three routes: Store room to Ruin of Rauh, Store room to Library/Mesmer boss, and down into the sewer into river into Abyss Forest/Midra

>>483349657>when he thrust his staff in my face, I brushed it aside
>>483349368World of Warcraft did this with raiding and look what happened. Raiders kept wanting them to up the ante on everything and now few people attempt it and even fewer people actually care.>>483349476I have 20 blessings and I'm still getting 1-2 shot by bosses. Most of which are them stagger locking me in a combo.
Why were people complaining about him? Did him first try at RL150 with +1 Skibidi.
>>483346317He's just wrong on a lot of shit is the biggest problem for me
>>483349968you have to enter via church district
>>483349823It is fun though? Every single boss except Radahn is a blast.
>>483349823>fun is me winning without a challengelmao okay bro whatever you say
>>483350010>RL150
>>483349823just because it's not fun to you doesn't mean it's not fun to other peoplekindly fuck off, FromSoft has made more than enough concessions for accessibility's sake, and the consequences have already been awful for the dungeon-crawling half of the games
>>483349968it's on the ass end of the specimen tower which is confusing as fuck so i don't think i could direct you if i tried. the boss is gaius so if you want you can look up a video of how to get to him.
>>483350010>TicheYou didnt beat the boss.
>>483350081see i was wrong, lmao, ficking aldia keep lookin ass tower
>>483350063I never said that but okay.>>483350071>kindly fuck off, FromSoft has made more than enough concessions for accessibility's sake,So you think fun is an accessibility thing? Youre an example of someone who doesnt understand why the DLC has a 62%
>>483350069I was told RL150 was a good level to get into the DLC....
>>483349816I choose Goldmask because I believe in objective morality that stems from base epistemic truths and is merely discovered rather than invented. This is actually the position of most philosophy PhDs. No I will not elaborate
>>483350071It's very cute that you think you're the majority for this
>>483350008>blizzard shite, especially nowI haven't played warcraft since 3 you're talking to the wrong persongo play something else stop begging for cringe mode because you can't handle it. you've had 5 games to do so.
>>483349680Hey retard, how about you look up what a "current" is? They're the same damn thing. The primeval current = the procession of stars.>>483349835It's the same.
>>483350010>black knife tiche summoned>12,693,900 runes>18,000 damage>freya's name hiding inside of the bossthe more i look at this image the funnier it gets

>>483350170Holy fuck go get laid
>>483350010spirit ashes and summons make this boss a lot easier>>483350169it is.
>how is malenia a fujoshi Let's see here>fujoshi means rotten girlExactly what she is>they are women who get off to guys being gay usually in depraved acts like incest or rape>gowry says her aeonia was caused by intense emotions >she whispered to be with miquella in radahn's ear before she aeonia'd >her aeonia produced millicent in her sisters >the intense feeling she felt after telling radahn to be with miquella caused her ro pollinate all over caelid The only way to read this is she got so excited at the thought of radahn and miquella being together she jizzed everywhere.
>>483349709don'tMesmmers orb has zero armor and you get knocked flat on your ass out of the airRain of fire is genuinely one of the worst incantations in the game, might be buggedMessmer fire is okay i guess.
>>483350010Lion isn't that hard. He's just so flippity-floppity that the camera can get kinda fucked.
>>483350183You dont understand why people are upset if you think people want an easy mode.
>>483350169Dont listen to him anon, its the normie level. If you want challenge you can go 120-125, if you are autistic you can go lower. If you are a balding God Gamer you can go RL1
>>483350010You beat the DLC.
>>483349476This. It's actually kind of weird. The bosses are in this weird middle ground where the movesets feel hard but Elden Ring characters are just now at this point where we have so many flask charges that you can just chug through the boss. Is it not odd to everybody that people seem to unanimously agree that the bosses are very difficult with long attack chains and huge aoe hitboxes yet everyone seems to be progressing just fine? Many people are already done with the game but also state that Radahn is one of the most bullshit difficult fights in both the base game and DLC. So what's up with this?I think what is happening is that players have so many resources such as a bunch of healing, buffs, and really powerful weapons that they don't have to learn the fights. They bruteforce the boss by just going in death after death, whacking them with their jumping heavy attack, getting hit, chugging flasks, repeat. So when they finally beat the boss they think "wow that sucked, I couldn't avoid anything, and I just felt like I got lucky"
>>483350029>>483350165I have no idea where church district isI do remember a NPC mentioning something being flooded...
>>483350071>Accessibilities sake>"Wahhh wahh im dogshit at the game and can't beat a boss that is proven beatable at this point even with all the easy mode shit they put in the game!">>>/lgbt/

>>483350273yeah i think rain of fire is missing a decimal point of damage

>>483350529lightning and frenzy do absurd damage
>>483347701I think Ranni is the best option, after the DLC I also think Marika isn't that bad (except Dung Eater ending which just fucks over everyone). Miquella is the worst one of the empyrean endings desu
>>483350367and they all suck ass or don't have the correct scaling for a INT/FTH build.
>>483349680>>483349835>>483349952>>483350184Here's the actual description. procession does mean orderly movement so yes it is the movement of starsCurrent is movement of something tooThe primeval current is outright said ingame multiple times to be the movement of the starsThey mean the same thing. It means sellen is retarded and that a literal monkey and radahn realized the primeval current was no good.
>>483350346what do you mean up the ante if not bitching about difficultyand, I don't care. popularizing souls was a mistake everyone agrees with this due to the 4 player count instead of 6 now in invasions and what not. I do not give a flying fuck what reddit want to do to the game, don't.
>>483349693Stats?
Was this supposed to be fun? it was Elden beast but worse because he has like 3 attacks he can use while running away
>>483350629shieldpoking is for niggers though
bayle is pretty frustrating>have to loop up to see what's happening>have to look down to not die to delayed explosions

>>483350629>has to depict self with a gigachadwhen has this never been a clear indication that the person doing it is a retard / faggot, honestly
Do you cosplay?
>>483350470>castrated >her genitals are covered/rotted away by the scarlet rotStill fits. Malenia by definition is a fujoshi
>>483349709>the shield is comically broken, by the wayIt's great, but i have a feeling within a few weeks people will just hard counter it with reapers or that anti shield katanaAbsolutely top tier for pvp still, though. Invasions too, especially in lower ranges where you're actually forced into melee range.
Gotten real comfy now
>>483350684are you kidding? i loved it, it reminded of older bosses
>>483350602Because you dont have an actual response?Thanks.>>483350661>popularizing souls was a mistake everyone agrees with this due to the 4 player count instead of 6 now in invasions and what notWhat does this have to do with anything? Like what does 4 players instead of 6 invasions have anything to do with the game being popularized and the games difficulty?
>>483350417cool it with the racism Gurmfag
>>483350684huh? Putrescent only runs away from you to prepare for an attack that brings him closer to you. You rarely have to run across the field to fight it.
>The depths of youR FOOLIs-ACK
bros i can't. i think im guna use mimic on radahn. he just has no fuckn openings in phase 2.
>>483347413Depends in your build, I was playing a pretty scuffed sl120 one and killed her in 2-3 tries at 15, so prolly lower than that

>Fenzyfags think they're the lord of frenzied flame>Actual lord of frenzied flame has a castle in the woods and guardsKek Marika stays winning
Did I beat the game?
>>483350818I was actually referring to smithscript shield's L2, which is basically a fucking gun that costs single digit FP to fire. Ironically, it's better for invaders than it is gankers because you force people to guess who you're going to shoot.
>>483350742you literally don't know what you're talking about lmao. you've never tried to do a int/fth build and it shows. stop embarrassing yourself.
Why do normies summon it makes the boss harder?
>innappropriate activity detected>crashbros?
>>483350916Yes that is what the game is designed around
what's the point of this new guard counter physic if the bosses have this 10 hit combo and even the last hit just knocks you flat on your ass
>Deep-Purple Lilies respawn, making it possible to amass eternal sleep pots
Can you dodge miquella's light nuke and the rocket drop when radahn is at low health?
>>483350980>just shut upCry more.Nobody cares about how you beat a hard game.
Is cragblade good with powerstancing? Thinking about putting it on my offhand.
>>483351052>he didn't find the sleep perfume bottlesOh no no no no!

>>483351014yeah, on easy
Anyone willing to carry me through Metyr?I've got a remedy popped at the stake (PC)
>>483350818I really despise how your only option is to play level 20 - 80 if you want something resembling Dark Souls combat in invasions, it's a shame. Vow of silence needed to be in the DLC.
I don't know what your point was and I don't care. stop talking to me.
>>483350659>It means sellen is retarded and that a literal monkey and radahn realized the primeval current was no good.Not even just them. The Carians realized this too and made it forbidden. Shit even the sorceries Lusat and Azur made detail how terrifying it is.>When Azur glimpsed into the primeval current, he saw darkness. He was left both bewitched and fearful of the abyss.>When Lusat glimpsed into the primeval current, he beheld the final moments of a great star cluster, and upon seeing it, he too was broken.Sellen literally just ignored every fucking warning and figured "NAHHHH IT CAN'T BE THAT BAD". She literally had so much hubris that she went FULL RETARD.

>>483351027only if you're playing melee, on a caster it makes it MUCH easier>>483351061light pillars have spots where they don't hit and you can run from the lightspeed comet
>>483351173I'm down, what's the password?
>>483350659So either way radahn tried to save everyone from doom? He's so cool I love him so much I would do anything for or to this man you guys can't comprehend the love I have for him. He's so fucking kind, even as a rotted out husk he was trying to protect us all. How can anyone hate a man so based? He's the only man I could ever see myself with. I want to be the target of his kindness I want to be able to share his kindness with the world. He would make the perfect elden lord. Kind, strong, warlike, brave, smart. All the best qualities of radagon and godfrey into one massive man.
got to the last zone and uninstalled, good luck to anyone who has to go through that garbage with slightly-lower-than-required skibbidi blessings
>>483351164sorceries only or incantations only is fun
>>483351286erg
>>483351223>>483349770
>>483351286boyhole
>>483351306fuck off miquella
Radahn ruined the entire DLC
>>483351026Do me a favor and point out where the DMGS has FTH scaling. Go on, I'll wait.
>>483351164sorceries and incants only (no shields or skills on weapons either, cheater) are fun challenges
>>483351204On the other hand Azur and Lusat literally became transcendent from itAzur can't even be damaged and it's not because of a barrier he's just immune because he's transcended into a rock
List of retcons so far.Miquella being the mastermind behind his own rape.The Land of Shadows existing at all.The entirety of Plaxi's story.Melena being Messmer's sister.Miquella searching for godhood instead of a cure.Radgon being a faggot who marries Miquella.The Skibi-toilet tree is just a rehash of the Haligtree.The Greater Will is actually the Christian god and created all living things.The Lands Between and all life from it came from star dust.The Greater Will actually has never communicated with the fingers.Malenia knowing the plan but waiting with her hand on the Haligtree anyways.Radahn being part of the plan the entire time even though they went to war.I'm sure there are a few hundred more but listing them all is going to be a pain.
>using skibidi upgrades at alli'm diagnosing you all with a severe case of read the clipboard, goodnight.
>>483349770You mean the sunflower boss yeah? I need to get gud I guess. I keep getting got in its third form.
>>483351413what a shitty transcendence
>>48334947690% of it certain builds being hot shit against certain bosses. for example: renalla for just rapes you if you try to block, gaius just rapes you if you DON'T try to block
>>483351413I mean sure? But the cost of that is they can't even fucking move or communicate anymore. What good is invulnerability if you're stationary and trapped in a prison of your own corpse? They are essentially immortal vegetables.
>madness proc into great sword of damnation WAThis would actually be more balanced if they made the sword madness too what the fuck
WHO'S THE UTTER FUCKING DUMBSHIT THAT MADE THIS RETARDED FUCKING COMMANDER GAIUS BOSS HOLY FUCK
>>483350878I only had to stop chasing him when he was in the corner, he constantly did the jumping spinny attack =Horse assist and the attack where he swings twice and just keeps riding. I can't use short weapons, I can't use ranged weapons/ incantations, can't use focus attacks, its a shitty fight where you're very limited in what you can use against him.Oh, and he HAS to have a shockwave and a flame carpet like every other boss, seriously every boss is just a different flavor of Mogh.
I love Miquella!
>>483351448no the boar, cdr gaius, grace is castle back gate or some shit>>483351493rennala is really easy with the deflect tear and a magic def shield
>>483351357i can't tell if you're doing picrel or just genuinely retarded but either way lol. bye
>>483351431>he used a weapon>he rolled>he used estusdidnt beat the game
>>483351429>Radgon being a faggot who marries Miquella.
>>483351312Haha just respec into perfumes, or a status-heavy cheesy build. Don't forget your 4 defensive talismans, and a greatshield, alongside MimicPeak gamedesign, bravo Myazaki!
>>483351176I honestly don't see much of an issue with it because the game doesn't try to hamper you from creating low level builds in any way, and the clown show of high levels can be entertaining in its own right. The DLC is built in such an open way you can get almost everything without fighting a single enemy which is amazing for low level invaders.
>>483351429>Melena being Messmer's sisterShe was heavily implied to be Marika's daughter, therefore Messmer's sister.You don't know the difference between a retcon and new information.
>>483351552>no the boarFuck, he is even worse than the sunflower. I REALLY need to get gud.
>>483351519>can't move or communicateAzur can move thoughever, he left Raya Lucaria and went all the way to that village you find him inAnd I'm pretty sure he actually teaches you Comet Azur since you look at him for a bit while his hands move slowly and then you get the spell
>>483351558Your complaint about the death weapons was lack of FTH scaling. I'm pointing out the DMGS doesn't have it either, you're an idiot and your build isn't in-theme at all.
>finally give the chilling perfume a shot>slow>no range>poor damageI was hoping I would have a cool offhand weapon to use that I can apply frost with and I'm severely disappointed.
>>483351575Ahh, Radahn. Whatever. Fagdahn. doesn't matter.
>intfags get Carian Sovereignty and Impenetrable Thorns>still bitch about not getting good sorcerieshuh
>>483351606I want to fuck Frieren's face is that really so bad
>>483350238didn't use either>>483350674this build was very scuffed. wasted a point or two in mind
I haven't been here for like 7 days, i finally made it to Radahn but the second phase is fucking garbage, I can't tell what's going on, are some attacks just flat out impossible to dodge?
>>483351543He's a cute and well meaning boy!
>>483351612Yeah, I've yet to really route my way through the DLC. I did start it on a level 80 character and realize how much of an effect blessings have relative to level / weapon level, though. There's also the spiritspring to skip Rellana, thank god.
>if you hit someone with the lighting spear, they also eat the guaranteed Gate of Babylon projections too>you can swap targets mid charge so the lighting spear flies into one cooper but projections fly into anotherThese DLC spells are so neat for invasions
Is this a sekiro easter egg?
>>483351686Anon for all we know he moved there BEFORE becoming a rock. And yeah they can unfurl their fucking hands at 1/20 the speed of a normal human, wowee that's some impressive movement!
Reminder that it's not a retcon if new information contradicts your headcanon
I for one, can't wait to see some autist on adderall no-hit Radahn on an honest build without being overly passive. That would be a sight to behold.
>>483351825this spell is op as shit
Why not just... roll?Someone give me a super secret tip to making this useful in pve
>>483351429>Miquella searching for godhood instead of a cure.oh look its this retard again.
>>483351543>>483351782Reminder that radahn was asking for it. The guy went around showing his veiny throbbing biceps to everyone. He shouldn't have dressed like a slut
is hand-to-hand viable and are there more weapons in that class other than the one the monk drops?
>>483351667She's also implied to be the Gloam Eyed Queen reborn. The entirety of the Messmer shit is stupid and pointless anyways, literally just a knock off of Rykard.
Whatever happened to fights being quasi-turn-based? You know, that beautiful call-and-response dance where your opponent has their turn you have to respect, and once it's over, you can get your own works in? Where victory was a matter of knowing when bosses slowed down just enough for you to fit your own bullshit? Now it seems anything that takes longer than half a second to do is completely impossible. Is this really what Souls games have turned into? Everyone running one of three playable builds, or one of two builds that completely invalidate the boss's ability to exist whatsoever, while we reeeee about the people who pick two of the five options that are left to actually play in an RPG and scream how they didn't beat the game, and how nobody should ever complain because those two builds exist? Because I'm not a fan. I don't wanna run bleed again or rolling sparks or fingerprint/giant peepee, I wanna use any of the other 20-ish weapon types that exist, but the DLC bosses don't allow that. Why is this acceptable? >git gudI've beaten the DLC. My complaints remain.
>>483351804You can also enter Shadow Keep without fighting a hippo. Arguably you enter from a better position too.
>>483351879Just use bloodhound step
>>483351429>Miquella being the mastermind behind his own rape.He was never raped, retard
>>483351845>Anon for all we know he moved there BEFORE becoming a rockThat doesn't make sense to me, he invented Comet Azur at the academy or even before that
>>483351879it has generous iframes and takes a memory slot instead of a weapon slot. bayle strafing you? not a problem
>>483350789Behold!
>>483351330>>483351173Sign's down, erg.
>>483351879you do a quest for him and get an accessory that maximizes your spell cast speed but makes you take more damage
>>483351676the sunflower is a standard souls boss and really well designed, I went into it expecting a hassle and all I got was a breath of fresh air.
>random streamer is recommended to me>click it, he's testing out the new sorceries>see thisexcuse me?
>>483351879There is no tip. Right now it's bad because it's too slow and doesn't move you far enough to be viable. It needs to be buffed.>>483351928There's two, one focusing on punches and another focusing on kicks and there's a wacky spinning AoW you can find for them if you don't like the super punch. They're viable if you put cold or bleed on them, shit otherwise.
>>483351771Try to always dodge diagonally forward to his left or right, dodging straight forward or backwards will get you sniped by the holy beams
>>483351953shitter alert
>>483352036>but makes you take more damageI'm so fucking sick and tired of this meme
>>483349684>she was the most unfair bullshit boss From has ever made.she wasand then they made even more nonsense fights with the DLC
>>483351953I beat many of the DLC bosses with hand-to-hand combat and it was fine. You're just bad even if you used cheat engine to beat the DLC.
>>483351543Base Elden Ring Miquella is the best thing ever and this shitty DLC can't change that. Damn if it didn't try hard to ruin this faggot though.>>483351865Reminder that yellow niggers can't tell a story without a white man. There is a reason GRRM isn't in the credits for the DLC.
>>483351906Would Miquella make him dress less slutty?
>>483351306>All the best qualities of radagon and godfrey into one massive man.Did he really have the best of them?
>>483348542actually that's exactly what having justification for your actions does
>>483351218Here's my idea: Shard of Alexander, smithscript talisman, red-feather branchsword, Rakshasa's armor, shriek of sorrow on main hand weapon, and any other buffs I can fit on it. Will I die in one hit? Most assuredly. Will I ever be hit? Hopefully not. I'm also going to try this with Igon's greatbow.The only downside of the L2 is that you do have to be within a reasonable range. I'd say between 25-30 ft.
>>483351831what the fuck am I looking at
Well that was a fun experience, thanks for reminding me the game existed.Looking forward to the DLC
>>483350503There are actually 2 heads
>>483351997>he invented Comet Azur at the academy or even before thatSource: your ass. Besides he's surrounded by mages and demi-humans, even if he WAS a rock beforehand it's entirely possible the mages brought him there. We have no reason to believe he walked there himself given how little movement he's visibly capable of.
>>483352080Refer to the last point, retard. If I'm a shitter, then the game is easy enough to be beaten by me, but still not fun.
>>483348512Sword of lightShadow sunflower blossomLeda's swordcrucible greathammerGreatsword of damnationEuphoriaDeath knight twin axesSerpent Flailblack steel greathammer
>>483352004Close, but still looks slightly off.
>>483349539because they don't give a shit about your retarded minigame's metathat shit barely even exists anymore and you think they're going to waste time implementing a mechanic solely for it?
>>483351953Myazaki saw people praising the games for being hard, and he went "OHOOOH, YU RIKE HARDUH GAYMUH, I MAKEUH HARDESTUH GAYMUH, RETS HAVE ENEMUH ATTACKUH CONSTANTIRY FOR 10 SECONDSUH, AND GIVEUH PRAYER ONRY 1 MIRRISECOND OPENING TO PUNISH!"And then he went and ate some fermented rice and had a rectal gland stroke while wishing he was Kentaro Miura.
what mobs drop smithing stone 6s often, including in the dlc?
>>483351001i mean i piped his ass hard. so i am the lord now?
>>483352120No :3
When Miyazaki said that they were trying to blur the line between the open world and the dungeons I expected it to be more pronounced.
>>483351879I wish you could at least teleport through enemies and land behind them consistentlyAs it is now it sucks
>>483352064>They're viable if you put cold or bleed on them, shit otherwise.thought as much, fucking hell... leave it to from to make yet another weapon class completely underwhelmingand I was kinda hyped about the idea of unarmed combat too...
>>483352221>Forgetting Messmer's SpearYou will burn with the hornsent
>>483352146ok, i acknowledge that was worded poorly. she is less of an insane bitch but she is still an insane bitch
>>483351994Yeah no, when he was sharing that bloody bedchamber with Mohg while unconscious he totally wasn't getting his boi-pussy filled. Consorts aren't sexual. lmoa. It's funny to me that Miquella was raping Mohg this entire time. Just so he can... take over his body to give to... Radahn. Holy shit it's so stupid. It's LITERALLY stolen from jap pornos.
You retards need to wait for the content creator tier lists to come out because your retard opinions are embarrassing. Remember when people in this general kept saying intfags got no new tools and then a couple DLC AoWs and spells ended up being broken as fuck? People kept saying Perfumes were unusable and then now again they are another OP weapon.
>>483352059Is that a middle aged jew with a zoomy fro?
>>483351204that's the best part of her character honestly, the otherwise rational and reasonable scholar overcome with the tantalizing possibilities of things forbidden, like faust or frankenstein, the way the player themselves can become caught up in the momentum of her confidence. horribly underdeveloped like every npc story, but there's the spark of something there>No one can conceive the variety of feelings which bore me onwards, like a hurricane, in the first enthusiasm of success. Life and death appeared to me ideal bounds, which I should first break through, and pour a torrent of light into our dark world.
so did marika fuck the serpent or what's going on with messmer?
Suggest me a build to kill Radanh, I'm not having fun anymore with this faggot. Just want to finish this shitty boss.
>>483352382>you need influencers to tell you what to thinkkill yourself
Why does Sanguine Noble randomly help us when we go against Leda and the others? Whats the lore reason
>>483351934She's not. Infact the snake eyes messmer had was implanted in him then sealed by marika. It's likely the gloam eye is the same for melina. She isn't the geq she just has her eye and death affinity.
>>483352004Looks like shit chief.>>483352083It's a twink talisman you dummy. At the RLs the DLC is tuned for you can just level fucking DEX.
>>483352412She was cursed by the hornsents, which is why she spawns cursed shit.
>>483352330Well he fucking failed I can see the blue line that forces you off of torrent
>>483352461I don't need influencers. Only you retards do.
>>483352439See >>483344267
radahn makes malenia look like a fucking cakewalk by comparison. his first phase is fine but the second phase with the blinding aoe and undodgeable dashes is just complete bullshit
>If you dont beat the DLC you can't criticize it>If you do beat the DLC you can't criticize it>If you do use summons/spirit ashes/broken build you can't criticize it>If you don't use summons/spirit ashes/broken build you can't criticize itSo when are people allowed to criticize the DLC and get more than a "lol git gud"-tier reddit response
can you still wrongwarp to leyndell with the dlc? Haven't been able to pull it off on a new character today.
>poison perfume bottle has a fixed AoWFuck man that was gonna be like half my build.
>>483347701Where's the ending where I place Ol' Placi as a god and I his lord. And together restore the good old days when dragons ruled everyone.
>>483351985Wait, how do you do that? Through the church district, jumping down to the specimen hall, right?
>>483351552>with the deflect tearYeah well I don't want to play Sekiro. I didn't buy Sekiro, this is Elden Ring. Design the bosses for the correct game for fucks sake.
Guys I'm really enjoying the DLC. I can't wait to get home later and play some more :D
>>483352403>Sellen is ER's take on a mad scientistThat's actually something I never considered before, neat.
>>483352037My issue is it just fucking runs 500 feet back forever. I get to hit it maybe twice before it justs runs to the other side of the arena to fling thorns and holy beams again.
>>483352382>people's opinions and thoughts changed based on new informationwhoa holy shit really????? what is with all you third worlders stumbling across the most basic concepts and parading them around like you just made a new scientific breakthrough. fuck off retard
>>483343881Usually I have multiple beat games that I just go through each with a build on them. I just dont know if I can be assed to play with my magic build after seeing all the bs the DLC has.
>>483343651I did the entire dlc with this debuff in case if was relevant somehow, maybe if they do one more dlc
>>483352059they added more high level spells to the game, its not that weird
>>483352439Try summoning mimic
>>483352471Again, whatever the fuck the DLC added with it's bullshit fanficiton is not relevant to the actual story of the game. The DLC is just plot-hole after plot-hole and doesn't even have GRRM in the credits. It's just some japs power fantasy.In base game, when you do the Frenzied Lords ending, you see her eye and her wolf like hair, implying pretty heavily that she's connected to the GEQ. Content for which was rewritten for this shitty DLC, so who knows what was really going to happen.
What’s even the point of having vigor as a stat? It should just level up with your character the way these bosses are designed to kill you in 2-3 hits anyway.
List of good bosses in the DLC:SunflowerEnd of list
WHICH GREATSWORD IS THE BEST EXCEPT BLASPHEMOUS BLADE
>Retard to retard communication
>>483352059Impenetrable Thorns is fucking broken
I really gotta study Mohg's character and history through this new lens. The implications are so interesting. I wanna figure out the point where you can go that's when the mind rape started.
>>483352613That's the neat part, you're just not allowed to criticize it. The game is perfect and you're just a whiny shitter.
Are (you) going to play shadow of the erdtree a second time?
>>483344126Divine Beast and rellana are great.
I absolutely despise Rellana but the fort leading up to her was fun. Why does it have to be like this?
>>483352642ok then use a greatshield or just strafe the attacks and only guardcounter the last part of the combo string, it's not that hard, you little baby
>>483352471messmer doesn't have snake eyes, it's a marika rune. they deliberately played with the camera to make it look like a snake eye, and only revealed that it was a marika seal right before he went to rip it out. classic twist.
>>483345328>literally a basic spin attack that even toddlers playing with toy swords do on the fly>fat retard: "hurr hurr did i do THAAAAT?"lmao stfu
>>483352689you subhumans can only change your own opinions on new information OTHER people organized for you. None of you have any curiosity or actual intelligence to try things out yourself. Then you go and say everything is shit only to be proven wrong immediately.
>go into arena>ranged>ranged>ranged>beastclaws>ranged>ranged>rangedUh oh
>>483352783I just don't want 90% of the weapons, spells and ashes of war to be near useless because Miyzaki wanted to make le hardest DLC evarrrrrr
>>483352613>he thinks you're allowed to speak negatively of our Lord and Savior Fromsoft
>>483352794i am already and i will play it a third time because i like making themed characters to steamroll the base game with. right now im doing a fire knight build and next up is going to be a Death Knight/Lightning build.
>>483352794i'm not sure if I can manage to play it a first time with how it ruined its own story. Really wish GRRM put in the work again - there is a reason he doesn't show up for the credits of the DLC and it's just so fucking obvious with how bad the plot is.fucking japs man. Miyazaki can't tell an original story to save his life. Always has to steal from the white man.
>>483352747Good bosses:Putrescent KnightSunflowerBayleMidrasFingersUninspired:MessmerSaint of the BudLionAIDS:GaiusRadahn
>>483352349...Why not just cold or bleed infuse them, then? There's nothing wrong with it, anon. They're good if you do and if anything the procs make the crazy combos feel more rewarding. Alternatively poison infuse them and use "The Poison Flower Blooms Twice" as your AOW. Poison procs into a crazy high damage kick is fun and decently viable. Not as good as cold or bleed, mind you, but it's super cool and MUCH more fun.
>>483352127He had godfreys commanding skills and battle prowess, said to be the mightiest of demigods matching malenia in strength, he is fucking massive even bigger than godfrey, and much like godfrey his men are wholly dedicated to him abandoning their homes to fight the rot that consumed their master. He has the intelligence of radagon, able to discern just how cringe the primeval current truly is, and learn gravity magic to such an efficient degree it matched the onyx lords and allowed him to halt the stars themselves. His dedication us unmatched, even as a near brainless ghoul he still held the stars and shielded leonard showing that radahns kindness wasn't just something he did out of nowhere, its his very instinct to be a kind soul. There cannot be an elden lord who isn't radahn. No one can measure up to him. No one can even come close.
>>483352685stick close and it rarely does that move
>>483348274helping hornsent fucks the quest permanently
>>483347469No because Ranni would do that by herself to her White Aryan Husband. Godfrey and Marika would be laughing at Ranni though, full on losing their shit to the point their stomachs hurt
>killed Mesmer>just now meeting Thio girlHOW DO I GET HER ARMOR
>>483343881just get a friend or cheat engine to drop you a cool weapon and use it through the normal content, it isn't too bad if you've played before
>>483352059>YouwyI sincerely want to throw this guy into a dumpster and steal his lunch money. I don't know what it is about him. His voice. His malnourished, skeletal frame. His autistic approach to number-crunching PVE content. I'm not normally like this, I just have this primal urge to bully him. I don't think I'd be able to hold back if we were isekai'd into a high school simulation, he'd be literally drowning in swirlies.
>>483352962These people are legitimately too stupid to understand anything other than powerstanced jumping heavies
>>483352794100%. I'll probably even start a whole new character and go through the entire game again.
>>483352959>>>>>>>Putrescent Knight in goodWhat a good way to make me not read the rest of the list
>>483352794if i can set up a character reasonably with cheat engine and not get banned, yes. mostly just skipping the limgrave stuff and having to gather all the shit there before going into stormveil.
HOW DO YOU GET TO THIS AREA
good lord
Has anyone done a no hit Radahn yet? Or at least a no shield/summon/parry? It seems like literally everyone so far has had to change their playstyle to clear it.
>>483352995You're asian right? asian men are super faggy for radahn and it's one of the reasons this DLC butchered the story so bad. Just checking. You have to be.
The Dragon Communion Priestess who says she wants to make babies with you after you tell her that you already defeated Dragonlord, is actually a tomboy with a 6 packhttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=m3YAIq-gNYohttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oaHpxs6hlKg
>>483352070What about that shitty anime attack after he throws the rocks?
>>483352995Damn. When you put it like that he sounds like the best man for the job!
>>483353143Not me, I Carian Slicer-ed my way through the entire DLC and I'll do it to Radahn too
>>483352959gaius is only shit if you refuse to use a shield. with a shield he is a very solid boss
>>483352468Brother wants Mohg's body back
Why must greathammers and colossals be so short and have no step-in? With every new iteration of the souls formula their antiquated design becomes worse against pretty much anything that isn't stationary and retarded.
>>483352863not him but most people are just too lazy to try out all the weapons. stop being a drama queen
>>483353127
>>483352995Miquella's so lucky...
>>483353143I beat him with no summons by using night comet
>>483352204nta but i agree with him that it's implied azur invented comet azur while he was still at the academy>Since the grand masters Azur and Lusat were driven from the academy, no one has achieved their formerly-held rank.wouldn't make much sense for them to be exiled before they went full primeval current schizobut the same set also says>Azur had reached a near-inorganic state.which means you're right that it's very unlikely he's able to walk around
>>483352468Miquella is humiliating Moghs body by using it for Radahn. If you did Ansbachs quest you'd be know
>>483353123>you used the game mechanics? heh you didn't beat the game>jak.png
>>483353081Woulda been cool if it was a GEQ boss like it was first planned to be. Imagine all the black fire stuff it could pull off. fuck i hate the absurd amount of retcons and plotholes the DLC adds.
>>483346203Genuinely how do you miss Hornsent? He's standing directly next to a grace that the game funnels you towards.
>>483353081Putrescent Knight is a good fast, aggressive, mounted boss that’s fun to fight like a bloodborne boss. Then the interns at From decided to do the opposite and make a completely horseshit mounted boss with Gaius
Which do you think is more fair, Radahn with a shield, or no shield but mimic?
>>483352630Is it at least good>>483352765>we're gonna make it through this boss, bubba, i promise
>>483353127there's a hole to jump down in the area marked in blue
>>483352364He was literally inside Miquella's veins in the form of blood, porn-addict
>>483353254Thanks nigga
wow putrescent knight is the definition of an oldschool souls bossvery enjoyable to fight
>>483353392shields are not cheating at all
>>483352995he didn't actually halt any stars. just a bunch of meteors
>>483352571>blinding aoeThe only thing that I really have complaints with this goes the same with Bayle. For me the movesets are fine it's that making the effects a visual obstacle just to make it grandiose is not the way to do it FROM.
>>483353170Despite their gray skin, female dragons such as the Dragon Communion Priestess can have both red cheeks and long eyelashes
>>483353215A good boss shouldn't require a specific piece of equipment.
>>483353427actually im retarded thats to a different zone, other anon is correct
how do you even parry radahn at all on phase 2? the fag lasers stop me from even thinking of tryin gshit
>>483352672How did you never get that? She got kicked out of college for murdering/melding people together. She only takes so kindly to you because you help her and there's the mad scientist trope of having a sidekick they actually genuinely like and care for(you).
>>483353351would you say it's a form of ritualistic humiliation
What's the lore on these lawn gnome fuckers?
I'm seeing bloodstains a bunch of messages talking about "betrayal" a few paces before the Church of the Bud, Main Entrance grace. But nothing is there for me. Is an NPC supposed to show up? What did I miss?
>>483352930based>>483352794yes. there's too much stuff to try and my autism demands that every build be relatively RP-appropriate. i already have a 2nd character sitting in gravesite plains ready to go.>>483353081sincerely filtered. he's a great boss, he just lacks lore / presentation.
>>483353414It's pretty much guaranteed poison on everything in the vicinity, yourself included.
>>483353004Yeah I spammed my fire weapon art this time and it went a lot better. Also I didn't know you could crit him for like 40% of his health bar at the end of each phase. That made it way easier.Now to go bang my head against the wall on the boar fight.
>>483353483I agree and that's why I also think renalla is shit. if they removed gaius' charge move he'd be absolutely solid.
I fucked up literally every quest somehow.
>beat the DLC without killing Margit on Leyndell>no alexander talisman>just normal talisman setupsMan, how are people struggling to kill bosses with Alexander talisman, milicent questline talisman and other OP talismans?
>found scorpion/centipede lady boss>beat her with the help of the kung fu guynow what?shadow keep is full of fire spamming fuckers who are annoying to fight and have insane poise they're like a mix of cleanrots and black knives but also spam magic
>>483353415I love you
>>483353391He's an annoying cunt with attack chains that go on for 5 attacks too long, does hit-and-run bullshit so melee onlys struggle to get more than a glancing hit in, and his room is the single most laggy boss arena in the entire dlc
>>483353641the only one i think i did correctly was thollier's
>>483352730You're so mad your headcanons were proven wrong. Are you the moonfag or goldmask seether?
>>483353578i think you get invaded by a npc as part of a quest
>>483353641Any uncompleted quest fails when you burn the tree because that's when the game locks in whether they're at the gank or not.
>>483353429I had a lot of fun with it too and the delayed attacks it had didn't bother me because of weird it looked, my brain knew it was going to throw out some weird shitGaius was complete aids though. Fuck that boss. Worst boss in er for me
>>483353578did you help Hornsent or Leda?
>>483352995Radhan is too gay to be Godfey's successor. Meanwhile, Godwyn was attractive enough to cause the dragons to stop feuding with the Golden Order because they were thirsty for Godwyn's good looks.
>be marika>do whatever the fuck you want, fucking who you want, throwing away any family you dont want, causing wars, destroying elden rings, etc, etc
>bloodsucking physick tearokay that HP drain is a little more fucking aggressive than i would have hoped
>>483352794No, but I have a backup save outside Radahn for when I finally feel the urge to beat him fair and square.
>>483352962it's just sad that they can't shine on their own and are reliant on procs instead, really sours their appeal for me if they're just vehicles for applying procs and have no merits without them
Based Thermidor
>>483353705You probably didn't, she has a lot of failstates, she basically interacts with a lot of npcs.
>>483352856And who's to say that frenzy flame ending eye melina has isn't something similar? With the new dlc it's the only sensible explanation that explains her connections to geq
>other people are already beating the bosses without getting hit and in roughly three minutes despite supposedly thirty second long attack sequenceswhats your excuse?
>>483353553Ansbach words
>>483353730gaius was one of my favourites once I learned his moveset. excluding his buggy and broken charge move, his kit is extremely fair
>>483353578only triggers after you kill messmer, you haven't missed out on anything. they show up somewhere else if you never get invaded
>>483353641I just didn't care enough to do them properly.I've gotten pretty sick of Fromsoft's 'quest' design that isn't fun nor intuitive to engage with, and I will simply CE in their equipment when I'm done with the DLC.
>>483353392>Which do you think is more fair>Fair What is the point of this ethos. When and why the fuck did people come up with self imposed bullshit for "fair" gameplay?Bitch its a video game, you either beat the boss or don't beat the boss. Thats it. At absolute most you might consider a no hit run its own form of playing a game separate from the base experience. Only because its a type of gameplay change that completely radicalizes how you play. But this idea that builds change the validity of an experience is fucking retarded. There is no difference between a bleed roll spammer and a shield tank spammer its the same shit.
>>483353786at least it's all attack power
>>483353857thollier is the dude that's obsessed with st trina. i got all of st trina's dialogue and told him. he wanted to help fight leda at the end so i think i completed it correctly
>>483353891It's almost like the "WHEN ITS MY TIME TO PLAY" meme is just a retard discord tranny psyop.
>>483353648Because I get hit by attacks, any boss that's a war of attrition I will lose because I have to hit it 50 times and it has to hit me twice for my entire healthbar.
>>483353709I'm upset that the lore for the DLC is garbage and retcons the original game to hell and back. If you think the DLC is anything other then shitty fanfiction then all I can say is I hope someone rapes you. Characters have been ruined, the plot has been ruined, and worst of all it's fucking stupid.>>483353426lol you fucking moron. He shared his bed chamber. People have sex. Quit being a fucking moron. Also, it's the japs that made Miquella rape Mohg. That's not me. I'm not that fucking dumb.
>>483353820Again, use The Poison Flower Blooms Twice.>really sours their appeal for me if they're just vehicles for applying procs and have no merits without themYou just described every fast weapon in the entire game. If you don't want to rely on procs then grab a big ass sword and stop crying. There's NOTHING wrong with proc-based builds, especially if it's fucking POISON of all things. You've been brainrotted by retards who say using bleed means you didn't beat the game.
>>483353445Watching people facetank the huge combos that I had to clench my hole through made it look a lot easier at least.
>4000 faith weapons in the dlc>people in the thread complaining that Radahn's sword is intFuck you you greedy assholes you got enough
>>483353551>and there's the mad scientist trope of having a sidekick they actually genuinely like and care for(you).never thought about it like thattime to have an igormaxxing outfit for talking to her
>>483352468>>483353351>>483353553>>483353915humiliation ritual.
>>483353976nta but to me fair = fits the character I'm roleplaying as
>>483352995Didn't Radahn get his ass kicked by Morgott?
>>483345387I brute forced it at lvl3 because I can't find any more shards
>>483353883Again, the DLC is written by yellow niggers. It's just shitty fanfiction. The credits for Shadow doesn't have GRRM in it. That old white dude is the only reason Elden Rings story worked so well.Without a white dude in the lead it's not surprising Miyzaki resorted to stealing tropes from popular media. The man is a thief, always has been.
>>483353970>Doing a fresh level 1 run with all weapons and armors from the start with mods/CE Genuinely more enjoyable experience than putting up with the fucking shitshow that is tomb raiding and quest horseback riding that is required to get some otherwise quite fun tools.On the bright side the DLC throws weapons at you from the start. On the downside they learned from this mistake after fucking finishing the game instead of at the start. Limgrave should have given us 50% of the weapons the game had instead of 1% and all these DLC weapons should have been in the base game.
Martial arts are too slow.Speed them up.Also the fact that the bonefist didn't return is infuriating.
I love the "reward" for Frejya's quest is having to slog through her meatshield ass while hornsent tries to tear you a new one.
>>483354238your headcanon isn't real, lol
>>483353763I need people to remember that you can get a spell by making a dragon fall in love with you. You just can't fuck it because your tarnished is built for marika/ranni goddess pussy. Vyke has a similar spell to it, and its long been theorized that he fucked that dragon. Godwyn is heavily implied to have had a similar incantation meaning he either made a dragon fall in love with him or outright fucked one.
>>483354078>Rahdans sword is int >demihuman swordsman sword is int >Lion dancer remembrance is frost stomp (int)>Rellanas swords are int >Rellanas twin moons are int What I'd like to know is why intniggers are complaining, especially when the base game was so int centric, it's faith chads turn to get cool stuff
>Gaius breaks my poise point blank and then decides to chargeepic nice game from you utter fucking braindead freaks
>>483353831Cheers, bud.
>>483354195>can't find any more shardsI'm at blessing 5 and I haven't even fought that guy. I literally just unlocked scadu altus.
>>483354053meh, it's just not my thing
>>483354140the game never said he won every battle. part of being a good general is recognizing defeat, mitigating it, and learning from it.
>>483351429>The Greater Will is actually the Christian god and created all living things.>He doesn't like God actually being just God and not some demiurge pretending at divinity
>>483354327Ranni was a femcel and jealous that Godwyn was getting so much dragussy
>>483354295Nah, the DLC is just full of retcons and plotholes and that's the only thing you got. I'll just continue to hope someone rapes you while talking to people smarter then you about how fucked the story is. Whilst pointing out the hundreds of retcons made to the story.you silly subhuman.
>>483354390Your call, but seriously try a poison infused one with the poison flower ash. I guarantee you'll have fun.
>>483351038>>483350916oh god my mimic does fucking nothing
>>483354040The bed chamber is the cocoon, porn-addict
>>483354040>I hope someone rapes youHe's so mad. The dlc is canon. Keep seething. Miquella is a rapist that raped mohg and radahn, malenia is a radahn simp. Malenia is a fujoshi.
>>483351429>The Greater Will is actually the Christian god and created all living things.This better be a fucking lie because the base game has the Lands Between be a primordial setting invaded by a godlike being.
>>483354452hahahaha no wiki is gonna put your gay fanfiction on it lol it's not canon ahahaha
>get to the van gogh flower>fire absolutely melts itnice
>>483354353>>Rellanas swords are intInt/faith actually, the fucked up part is you almost hit every int weapon in the entire dlc, you missed a carian greatsword (it's okay) and a sword that can cast spells (it really sucks)Also like half the sorceries require another casting stat so they are even limited there.Also fuck you Faith was great in the normal game as well.
>>483354358Skill issue
I challenge you to explain why the "light greatsword" weapons couldn't have been thrown into the straight sword and greatsword classes depending on their appearance and weight. Inventing new weapon classes just so the existing ones don't have any variety in movesets is retarded.
>>483354353>Rellanas swords are intNo they scale with strength and dex unless you're stance R1. C/C/C/C isn't an INT weapon either>Rellanas twin moons are intYeah they fucking suck too
>>483354507The mimic is only WEAK because you are WEAK
>>483351934The Gloam-Eyed Queen is the God-Devouring Serpent that ate Rykard.
>>483354425It's just a lame choice. It's also the one I care about the least, because it's at least hinted at in the base game. It's still a plothole and done wrong - The One Great is the one who created the universe and life until the DLC retconed that. But whatever - it's a huge plothole but at least it SORTA tracks with the base game and what GRRM was writing.also life coming from star dust because the faggot japs have to steal quotes from white men is fucking painful.
I thought Malenia was bullshit because she heavily enforced certain playstyles to beat her, but I see she was only the beginning.I'm sorry Malenia, you seem so tame in retrospect
>>483351429>Melena being Messmer's sister.Not a retcon. Never was it said she was anyones siblings. New information doesnt mean a retcon because it doesnt contradict anything.
>>483354425Either God is real and you want ER to be identical to real life or God isn't real and therefore you want ER to copy the highly successful fantasy poetry book the Bible. Both are retarded.
lorelet hereif both Radahn and Malenia ultimately served Miquella, why did they fight a war against each other?
>glean useful information from someone's message>don't upvote it
>>483354238Anon do I have to pull out the article saying shadows of the erdree came from what grrm wrote again? Or are you just going to deny that. Also grrm did a geneology test. He's mostly Jewish not white.
>>483351879you can charge sorceries mid teleport
>>483354625that boss is fun
>>483354353>>Rahdans sword is intIt's quality with barely any INT.>>demihuman swordsman sword is intIt has B DEX scaling and D INT.>>Lion dancer remembrance is frost stomp (int)It's Cold, which is more DEX than INT.>>Rellanas swords are intINT/FTH>>Rellanas twin moons are intThese are useless lol
>>483354757Because the DLC's lore is fucking retarded
>>483354731Information that the audience is not privy to is not a plot hole, lmfao.
>Ranged deathblight frogs in scorpion catacombsHoly fuck how cancerous.
>>483354804I know but the awkward windup for the teleport makes it nigh unusable and I have 70 dex. I either do it too late or do it too soon. The distance needs to be further or something.
>>483354757>>483354878Radahn never served Miquella are you people retarded
>>483345270wait, is this possible to do in-game?
>>483354291I like her sword
>>483354929mimic veil
>>483354683Because they deal less damage than GS but more stagger than LS. They fit a niche which is very popular in ER, which is faster swings with higher stagger for the trade off being lower damage. They also get their own animations that go hard into the wacky water movements which were super popular but annoying to find because they just fell under existing arch types.
The dungeon with the really long room with the crushing spike trap with a pit in the second safe spot got me good.All I could do was laugh, well played fromsoft.
impenetrable thorns should be nerfed this shit is stupid
Can someone help me determine where I am in Leta's / Hornsent's quest?>reached the Specimen Storehouse before talking to Leta / Hornsent, meaning I missed their summon signs in the first section of the Shadow Keep>triggered Messmer's cutscene, causing their summon signs to despawn and Hornsent's to move to Messmer's boss arena>killed Romina at this point>go talk to Leta>she's still suspicious of Hornsent>summon Hornsent for Messmer before beating him alone, to see if it affected his quest (it didn't, he was depressed that he didn't get to kill Messmer)>exhaust Hornsent's dialogue in Messmer's boss arena, he despawns>go back to Leta>she says she's no longer suspicious of Hornsent because Messmer is dead>she says she's going to go after Ansbach instead>assist Ansbach because he's dangerously based, I receive Leta's rune and his bow (with it's insane DEX requirement)>no longer know where Leta is or if she's actually dead>no fucking clue where Hornsent is or if he killed himselfWhat should I do at this point? Will Hornsent still invade me outside of Romina's arena if I go back there? Will he even show up in the tower?>>483355042I actually really like the catacombs, the traps are pretty good in the DLC ones.
>>483354528u mad bro. Have fun with you 70% positive reviews. how they fucked that up i'll never know.>>483354583Yup. It's a huge retcon, seeing as how it's implied in the base game that the one great created it. But eh. The other outer gods are basically creatures outside the universe that can interact with it. It's very, very, very stupid. The Greater Will in the DLC basically left and has in fact NEVER communicated with the fingers (another huge retcon). It's also the creator of the universe and all life as we know it.It doesn't work, at all. It's very, very stupid and even a ten year old can write a better story. Japs though. These subhumans just can't help themselves.
>>483354742All of Malenia's difficulty comes from the fact that waterfowl is a bitch to dodge at point blank range, and she can just go into it at point blank range and there's no way for you to predict it so either you fight like a cuck constantly backing away wasting time or you risk it and only win if the point blank waterfowl doesn't happen.
>>483354929Who cares they do shit buildup and the game gives you 5 blouses at the start of the dungeon they’re a minor annoyance at best
>>483351429>>483354425>>483354583>>483354750Which came first in the Elden Ring universe? The Greater Will or the One Great? Because to me, it feels like the One Great was Chaos right before the Big Bang happened, and the Greater Will just took advantage of the One Great's loot that appeared as a result of the Big Bang.Hyetta: The words of the Three Fingers. As your maiden, allow me to divine them. All that there is came from the One Great. Then came fractures, and births, and souls. But the Greater Will made a mistake. Torment, despair, affliction... every sin, every curse. Every one, born of the mistake. And so, what was borrowed must be returned. Melt it all away, with the yellow chaos flame. Until all is One again. No more fractures...no more birth...
>>483354938then why is Radahn letting Miquella hump his back?
i wish i didn't collect the shadow frags. bosses are too easy.i miss the zero frag rellana difficulty now.
Day 3 of Radahn. I'm using the best armor I can. Bullshit Bleed build with the fiend arm. Shield. I'm making progress but it's not fun. It just feels like the farthest I've gotten is purely because either the NPC or my mimic tear got targeted with the bulk of attacks. Luck rather than actual progression. Radahn super jump killed my best two runs instantly.
>>483355095I agree, honestly even in the original some of them were really good. Like the one that tries to trick you by making the layout exactly the same as the area you had just been through.It's a shame there wasn't more in the dlc.
>>483354938The DLC contradicts itself pretty bad with the base game. The lore is absolutely fucked and must have been rewritten a thousand times to come out so fucked. Just ignore the DLC and the game makes waaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaay more sense. It's fanfiction. Literally. The credits don't have GRRM in it.>>483354789You can do whatever fag shit you want. GRRM isn't listed in the credits for Shadow apparently, which is pretty huge proof that they didn't use his shit. Miyazaki is a lying hack so anything he says isn't worth the time of day.
>>483345270Thank you bro, you are the better Miquackzaki.
>>483354965still waiting on answer ;_;
Jeez. Cool it with the anti Japanese sentiment you guys.
>>483354935yeah, the windup needs to be faster. the way it is right now you can't use it as a react dodge.but if they ever fix it the skill will be quite powerful
>>483354929your mimic veil?your prince of death's talisman?your deathblight boluses?fuck it, your horn charm?your just running through because there's only one trap that's actually dangerous enough to kill you?why are people so bad at adapting to the slightest novelty?
>>483354327>>483354438>every god was getting laid besides ranni>malenia was fucking finlay>godwyn was fucking dragons>radahn and miquella were fucking>rykard was fucking tanith and daedicar >mohg was penatrating the formless mother with his spear>morgott was a willing volcel and happy for it>messmer was fucking(up) hornsent >melina was fucking on fire>ranni is the only one that didn't get laid >had to see her mom get cucked into insanity by her dad and her aunt develop oneitis for messmer >marika allows you to do ranni's quest and guides you along it so ranni can finally get laid, get a loving husband to break the carian woman curse, and stop being such a seething femcel and replace her as goddess so she can die and be with her shaman and god family. Marika was doing ranni a service. She's so fucking kind bros.
>>483355245The charismatic mind control powers that every item keeps mentioning? He even does that shit to YOU during the fight.
please stop listening to the autism lore spammer, he doesn't actually know what the fuck he is talking about
i've just had 10 hosts in a fucking row die to radahn's meteor attack holy FUCK JUST RUN IN ANY DIRECTION

>>483355457haha no>opens twitter
>Greatshield>Summons>Poise Break Jump SpamYou didn't beat the game.
>>483355217everyone used to say hyetta was lying. turns out she was telling the truth.with saying that, the three fingers are still flawed and born from the same mistake, as they were still born from the mother.
>>483355430you dont though
>>483355098You've been here seething for days. I didn't buy this shit dlc. Grow up
>>483355428God I hate that this shit was turned into a super cool power instead of being the curse that it was meant to be. The Mohg retcon ruins so much about the game that it hurts.Why retcon such a vital part to the story. Why are yellow niggers so bad at writing. I don't understand.
>>483355398>>483354990What in the fuck is a mimic veil? No, I'm not going to change my build to deal with one dungeon.
>>483355343NPC makes the fight a lot harder not only because of the huge HP bloat but also because of how clunky the fight is.
>>483353774Marika would never pass a chance to make children she's a breeding maniac
Messmer it doesn't have to be like this, I can be elden lord and you can work for me.
>>483355384As for as I'm concerned, it's the canon ending lorewise, but no this currently isn't possible in-game without mods (modding-chan is better Miyazaki so just dismiss last half of the "DLC")
>>483355471>REMOVE GUARD COUNTERI was streaming the game to a friend who likes to watch us play through games and he kept asking what "that weird sound was"I explained to him "oh yeah that's the Guard counter SFX, 90% of people don't use the mechanic though"Safe to say, nobody would care if it went away except me.
>there are ashes of war in the DLC that can deal 40% of Messmer's entire life barI thought all the new DLC stuff was bad?
>>483354965>>483355384It's a mod my guyhttps://www.nexusmods.com/eldenring/mods/5235
How do I get to this place
>>483355343Don't use the npc. It just gives him free HP and not necessary for their gear.Make sure you're using fingerprint shield.Wait until P2 to summon mimic tear, do it after running out of the big bullshit aoe he usually does at the start. Don't heal immediately, block until you're safe.If you face where he lands in his big final bullshit explosion attack, your fingerprint shield will absorb most of the damage.Otherwise just punish all openings with heavy attacks. In P2 most openings will happen when your mimic takes aggro. You will get it eventually if you do this.
>>483355579You don't know what you are talking about
>>483355651so we don't kill Miquella? Thank the heavens
>>483355371It's outright said that shadows of the erdtree came from Martin's own mind. Its why there's so much gay incest. The guy is jewish. He's not white. His entire series of asoiaf is a critique of European especially Anglo-Saxon culture and a deconstruction of it. Stop worshipping that fucking kike. And no, the Yellow jews aren't better.
>>483355586it's a universal tool that you should have picked up in one of the earliest legacy dungeons in the game unless you were skipping rooms entirely. there are tons of messages in that catacomb telling you to use it.you also don't even need to use it, it's just a neat trick. just eat your fucking boluses and tank it.
>>483355245who wouldn't. Mike probably smells like lily.>>483354757Because Radahn was supposed to have an honorable death just like how Godfrey had to die and come back to the Land Between.
Why the fuck do I need to kill Latenna 2.0 to get Gaius shoes? And why does she hits so hard?
>>483355692why does that guy on the right look jewish
>>483355586Retard-anon, it's the thing that turns you into nearby objects.
new thread?
>>483355579it works though?that's why miquella is so powerful. he can get anyone to do anything for him, even other demigods.
Does Ice Spear void my "beating Radahn" license
>>483355565One of the best games ever just released a DLC with mixed reviews. It's actual shit, of course people are going to use their free time to shit on it. When something is told so poorly it's fun to trash talk it and all the morons who aren't paying attention to the story. Again, it's so utterly incompetent that I can't accept the same people worked on it. And the retcons. SO MANY RETCONS.The gameplay is fine enough - enemies are so aggressive that it's hard to use spells and certain things, but I'm beating bosses after an hour or so on new game +3. With the seeds giving you around 50% damage res it's not that bad.
I beat Radahn without iframes
>>483355692You were listening to people who tried it for approximately 7 seconds and decided it was bad
>>483355807no
>>483355703there's an underground entrance around there. it will lead you to that part of the map
>>483355802Because that was his wife you monster
>>483355813He has the power of cuteness on his side
>co-oping with a friend, just exploring the DLC>get invaded by some asshole named "cope harder">hardswaps between every meta setup he's been able to find on youtube>crouchspams every time he lands a hit on either of us>we kill him>don't even acknowledge him, just turn around and jog off to keep exploringI hope he seethed.
>>483355802She had his pants, she's clearly his girlfriend.
Why is it more fun to play coop than to explore in DLC? I feel too burned out to run around on a horse to explore looking through every nook and cranny for items.

>>483355550Yes I did.
>>483355692where is carian sovereignty?
So... Is she a plant?
>>483355813Nah, well. In the actual story of Elden Ring it's more complicated then that. It's implied that his love power is a thing he can't control - that people fall in love with him and that it's terrifying. It's the reason Mohg kidnapped him and tried to marry him and is currently raping his unconscious body.The DLC retcons this. Turns out, Miquella getting stolen from the tree was part of his master plan. Then when he was cocooned it somehow brought him to the Land of Shadow where he started to get rid of his body and emotions. Miquella is basically raping Mohg instead - this is a typical jap twist. He did this because he wanted Mohgs body, without a soul, so he could marry Radahn.holy shit just talking about the DLC plot hurts. It's so fucking dumb. Fucking japs man. yellow niggers, all of them. Jews are so much better.
>>483354238Both main game and DLC have shit story, you play these games not for story but for gameplay since the Fromsoft team cant write for shit so they shield themselves in obscure lore and leave it to the players
>>483355217Im just going to ignore it all and say. Great One made the universe but made a mistake which led to the Outer Gods. Greater Will is one of many Outer Gods who go around imposing their will on the lands to harvest souls/worship. Greater Will fought the primordial Lands Between and conquered it from the dragons and misbegotten. But the Demi-Gods he created for himself rebelled because they didn't want to be slaves.
Radahn makes Malenia look so well designed, is this how From super bosses are going to be moving forward?
>>483356178To be fair, it's really gay that the game requires like an RTX 3080 to even playing at 60 FPS. Even worse that I still get stutters randomly where things go fast for a second; probably because of vsync gsync, but I had tearing.
>>483356262>>483355703Maybe they shouldn't have hid an entire fucking area behind making a jump that would 100% kill you normally with no indication that it's a special situation.
>>483355550>Poise Break Jump SpamLol, imagine being this outdated. The meta is greatshields and counters you absolute scrub. Talk about being 2 years too slow.
>>483356307Yeah she is a pretty flower but in the trailer she did have a lower body.
the only move I can't dodge at all is the vergil cut spam he keeps doing inbetween every move. literally no way to dodge 2 strikes in one roll unless you get it frame perfect
>>483356307>she
So once I break the seal, I can freely do all the NPCs quests? As long as I dont burn the tree nothing progresses beyond where I take it?
>>483356307She wasn't always a plant
I beat bayle :)
>>483345778I hate that turd
>>483357268I beat your mom if she farts after I cum in her asshole
>>483357268did you beat him first try like I did?
>>483356487there's literally another way in, people are just retarded and don't explore
I just killed the bug boss. How far do I have until I reach Gaius? I see lots of people bitching about him
>>483348521Because it's hot.
All this talk of Miquella getting raped and manipulating dudes into raping him is doing something to me, man.
>>483356515Which trailer?
