You didn't beat the game.
you didn't beat the game
>If you don't spoonfeed Hornsent's revenge for him, he turns on you with LedaReminder to everyone that its morally correct to kill that motherfucker at the first opportunity
Is the throwing shield better off on a Strength build or on Quality?
I WILL fix Marika.
Drinking Michelob with Miquella!
>>483632343I decided to kill him as soon as I met him for the first time, nobody is mean to me and gets away with it
Here's Malenia to demonstrate a layered armor system. Do you rike?
Name one (1) reason why Miquella ascending as a god would be a bad thing?
>>483632471>Name one (1) reason why Miquella ascending as a god would be a bad thing?he's gay
>>483632471because according to my unhinged headcanon that is completely contradictory to everything stated in the game, he would actually be EVIL!!!!!
>>483632471If you say no once, you die
buff it
How do you dodge this move? Only attack he has I can't figure out to avoid at all, tried dodging late and early. Is it a jump?
>>483631969It honestly feels like the direction for the DLC was shifted halfway through which is why it took so long to make.>I legitimately believe Miquella's ending was cut for being too happy. Not joking.I can believe this. I hate when grimdark guts itself because it wants to keep "everything is le shitty still" status quo.And thats a good question. What the fuck did we accomplish here? Took out a threat to our future rule as Elden Lord or something?
Just dropped Rellana with my bullshit Blasphemous Blade, was a bit of a struggle but got her in 5 tires. I really want to respec into some sort of melee with some int casting since i've never casted before. What's a good build?
>>483632381he'd slip some St. Trina juice in there and date rape you
>>483632649Run away, yes really
>>483632437Anon thats MelinaAlso looks cool
>>483632437She looks so unhappy in that plate mail.
ngl bros, Im feeling like a Villain rnhttps://litter.catbox.moe/1iu3ns.mp4
>midras greatsword can impale MULTIPLE PLAYERSWHAT THE FUCK HOW IS THIS SWORD SO FUCKING GOOD FOR PVP JESUS CHRIST MIDRA I LOVE YOU
>>483632437how's it work?
>>483632194Imagine the godly footjobs!...
what spells do yall run around with? honestly I don't see a reason to run more than 2 or maybe 3 spells. switching them is clunky and AoW are a better use of FP anyways
Can someone do this pasta with Marika and the hornsent
>>483632708haha oh nooooooo that sure would be terrible
What build most evokes the feeling of playing Dark Souls 1, walking up to an enemy and deleting them with a point blank Dark Bead?
Radahn really wasn't fun at all. Phase one was fun and made me excited to see phase 2 but the second half of the fight is so abhorrently unfun. Just obnoxious visual diarrhea cluttering the arena. I really really hope they don't do more of this in future games. Granted, it DID make the fight the most difficult of the DLC for me so I guess they succeeded?
>>483632885perfume
>>483632471It is interesting that we basically only get two NPCs saying Miquella would be a bad lord/god. St Trina which is the embodiment of his doubt and self consciousness and some random ghost?
>>483632806It's modded. You equip the plate torso ontop of the other set.
>>4836324711. Copying Marika's footsteps and expecting things to go differently is funny2. The whole point of the game, the reason grace was extended to you bringing you back to life in the first place, was for you to become Elden Lord. Can't very well do that if Miquella the magical unscrupulous mind controller makes his brother Lord Consort instead, and upends the Elden order, can you?
No wonder ER is shit when the fanbase thinks From Software is the "hard game" developer. Do you zoomies even know why Dark Souls or Demon's Souls got popular for in the first place?
>stand still in front of a redGOD as he charges his gigger nigger blast attack>dies>WOOOOOOOWWWW HOW COULD THIS HAVE HAPPENED????how do these retards manage to beat mohg???
>>483632757Looks like a kid whose mom is making them dress up for family photos.
Every god is just a different interpretation of metyr
Please help me kill Radahn on PS5
>>483632471your blue wife would be upset
>>483632721It homes and the 2nd explosion is super delayed, I can't get the distance right.
>>483632437Can we have some Melina feet
Alright bros. Beat everything on NG3. Time to take the training weights off and slap NG1 around.
>>483632437My favorite is the exposed arms one. Could do a lot of fashion with that one.>>483632985>>483632757The things a finger maiden must do for their Tarnished.
>>483632957It's not that hard.
>>483633037get a shield
>>483632661I'm doing 40 VIG, 80 INT, 25 END, 12 STR, 17 DEX and the rest in MIND at level 150, playing mostly melee and it's fun.
>>483632954yeah but you can do stuff like make Ranni a god/lord or whatever. You are explicitly her consort.
>>483632471Because his ascension would give even greater rise to the weirdo pedos that are his fans.
>>483632957It just got a massive nerf, started a second run and at skibidi 4 it's unbelivable how retarded strong you are now
Palm Blast having infinite poise seems uncharacteristically generous for this game. Almost makes me think it was a mistake.
>NOOOOOOOOO STOP USING THE ENVOY LONGHORN STOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOP>teehee comet azure is perfectly fine though What the fuck is his problem hornbros
>>483632773>owari da
>>483632773So based. God I fucking hate hosts.
>>483633097
>>483632194Melina confirmed in the DLC.
Why’d they make this so garbage?
>>483632961A ton of people were dedicating hours of their time to comet azuring Mohg for these useless hosties
The gameplay trailer proves that if you wore anything but your classes starting gear, then your run wasnt canon.
>>483633071He does that once his phase change, just be prepared after a certain % of HP and start running.>>483632651Anyone has that one quote of him trying to do something good and his team being like "nuh uh, doesn't fit"? I think it was for Bloodborne or whatever.
Radahn makes me wanna respec into a greatshieldfag for the first time in my life.What the fuck were they thinking????
I hate footniggers
>Messmer literally does Rhykard's whole shtick so much better>better flame colors >cooler fucking spells >awesome snake >controls the snake and isn't eaten by it >literally virgin inquisition vs Chad Crusader
If you think you beat the game, then you didn't beat the game.
>>483633383Shes just talking about the base game about burning the Erdtree via giants flame
Is mashing buttons to decrease grab damage still a thing?
Man, the environments have so much more grandeur from a first person perspective.
Damn bayle was nice fight with all the setup from climbing a moutain of dead dragons and having a summon that actually matters and cares about the boss that they are fighting. Its why I summon hornsent as well for messmer to get those extra lines. Its awkward that I died before the last tick of rot kill off bayle though, couldn't see igon go but at least he yelled his last yeehaw. How good is igon's bow? Seems like you have to use his 1000 rune arrows for it.
>>483633452I did it. No regrets. That fight is retarded.
Is the deflecting sekiro tear cheating, because I've beat almost every boss with it and I can feel my gamer cred slowly exiting my body.
>>483632856"OMENs could be here" she thought. "I've never been in this region before. There could be OMENs anywhere." Thr cool wind felt good against her bare feet. "I HATE OMENs" she thought. The Shaman Village OST reverberated the entire Elden Ring, making pulsate even as the Grace circulated through powerful veins and washed away her (merited) Fearon minorities after dark. "With an Elden Ring, you can go anywhere in the Lands Between."
lost 300k runes in the shadowkeep because a dumbfuck put a message saying to jump into a place that blocks you in the air
Greatsword with a Claymore poke that fires a projectile. Is this great?
>>483633452Just roll in bro, literally just roll in.
Like I'm fine with Miquella being evilIt's just that in contrast when Miyazaki has Ranni be >Unkillable>Can instantly kill you>Can ascend and it's a good thing apparently>Can't kill her mom because it'd make her sadIt's kind of hard to not see her as a mary sue by contrast
>>483632856"HORSENT COULD BE HERE" she thought, "I've never been to these lands before. There could be HORNSENT anywhere." The golden light of apotheoisis plucked from the Gates of Divinity felt good against her bare skin. "I HATE HORNSENT" she thought. The Title Theme reverberated through all of Enir-Ilim, making it pulsate even as the power of the Divine Gates circulated through her perfect golden veins and washed away her (merited) fear of Hornsent in the land of shadows. "With godhood you can go anywhere you want," she said to herself, out loud.
>>483633597you can summon hornsent for Messmer? i don't remember his sign was it in the arena?
>>483633654>falling for troll messages in a souls game in 2020 + 4ishygddt
>>483633660Why not just put Flame Spear on a Claymore?
>Uses and kills people for her own gain>Attains godhood>Discard her Great Rune and kill her own bodyWhy is it le evil if it's with Miquella? What's the plot here?
>>483632353havent tried the shield yet but the throwing greathammer is tons of fun. It does a bit less dmg on my strength build with giant crusher, but the throw and the faster swing speed is pretty nice.
>>483633605if you weren't level 1, naked, no weapons, no scat fraggies, no summons, blindfolded, drowning in shit inside of a septic tank for your entire life leading up to your playthrough of elden ring, then you did not beat the game I'm sorry to say
>>483633610Lmfao i fucked that up, on mobile right now
>>483633253Yes. Ranni is the God, you are the Lord Consort. In the normal ending, Marika is the God, you are the Lord Consort. If Miquella gets his way, he is the God, and Radahn is the Lord Consort.
>>483632617this one is cool but i feel like the flame lightning would be more effective in general
>>483632773basedyou are the good guy
why did they NEED to make miquella a feminine little boy that canonically wants to fuck his brother and become god by marrying him, at least make his body fully developed man its so fucking weird
>>483633698>>483633770this is a legitimate problem I have with the DLC and Miyazaki saying he won't make a new ending for the base game. You really should be able to just side with Miquella.
For me it was when Leda made a redman reference.
>>483633783Fuck it's over.
Faithbros do you run a shield+one hand with a high faith investment or a two hander with a high strength investment (and low faith)? I feel like havinig a high r1 bonk is more important than having a powerful buff or using super high level shit like 50+ faith spells. It's not like you're going to spam lord's heal and dragon spears against most bosses anyway.
>>483633290Why do retards bring up the fucking scadu fragments when the actual complaint is that fighting enemies that keep chaining combos one after another while having infinite poise is the actual fucking problem? How many fucking fragments do I have to find for them to fix the fucking game?
>>483633698counterpoint - ranni is cute
>>483633698He isn't evil though.
Never forget
>>483633660It's interesting. The projectile applies any status the blade does btw
>>483632651>miquella ending too happyRanni ending exists, Miyazaki tells the story he wants to tell. Shocking that the guy who has suicide bombing fanatic soldiers and is known for mind control was a bad guy
>>483633929Miquella is cuter thoughever
>>483633751i think you have to choose to help hornsent when hes invaded by Leda in the shadowkeep. afterwards talk to him and you'll get his summon sign in the arena.
>>483633905depends Holy, lightning, or fire?
>>483633452Just parry him, unironically.>>483633770Miquella also mind controls people, which is spooky.
>>483633768The projective isn't an ash of war. It's just the R2
>>483633770Miquella is Griffith, Ranni is a gentle girl
>>483633963AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA
Bros I found my weaponfu
>>483633582Yeah, no shit.
>>483633605its insanely overpowered.but also really fun so i'll keep using it :)
Messmer was cool and I like they changed his voice actor. He just sounds like a goth dude not giving a fuck about anything albeit being mass murderer.
>>483633998Good question. Are the bosses resistant to holy like they are in the base game? I honestly don't know.
Is THIS what they meant when they said Lansseax used to take human form? Is this what Vyke and the Leyndell knights were fucking? I'm about to throw up.
>>483634043>Oops, just condamned my brother to an eternity as a soulless husk tee-hee
>take mohgs body>put radahns soul in it>he turns whiteI dont get it
>>483633989miquella has A COCK thoughtbfever
>>483634064>>483633963FromSoft is shitty at making endings anyway. Some dude will make a mod using AI voice lines and Miquella model from the game and it will be better than whatever ending FromSoft would've created.
best RL for pvp shenanigans?
>Ymir>clearly a man>has a manly voice>"MOTHER of Fingers">there's literal malepregnancy fetish shit in the game>Radahn>beloved base game character>people admire his manliness>becomes an actual homosexual, who also happens to be a pedophileWhen did FromSoft become woke?
>>483634019Ranni is related to Miquella, too. Spirit Calling Bell, Torrent, puts Kale to sleep. Or was, before Miyazaki decided that it doesn't fucking matter. >>483633586It is.>>483633829I think his model changes, actually.
Just did my INT/STR run, do I go in with my Dex/Arc chud or my STR/FTH chad
>>483634168are you implying that is a downside?
>>483634139i didn't realize I have to drug her to save her. Now I only have her heart and could never summon her and larp as her dragon lord.
>>483634176Play a different game
>>483632343>give him his mother's soup>save him from getting killed by leda>help him kill messmer, as if he'd ever beat him alone>despite him saying he's in your debt, he still invades you at rauh>doesn't even fucking say anythingCOME ON MAN, DO YOU WANT ME TO SUCK YOUR COCK TOO
>>483633698God, nobody gives a shit about you dilating over not getting a boywife, tranny. Fucking move on.
>>483633770If Ranni looked at me like that I would find a way to get a doll pregnant.
>>483634217who in their right mind would want to fuck males while being a male themselves?
>>483634203Woke? These people are antagonists. Your goal is to kill them. FromSoft is based.
So what the fuck was all this about then?
>>483633905Main weapon and Misericord in right handParry shield and Seal in left handSwitching between them expeditiously depending on what I'm doing
Imagine if, instead of fighting Manus, we fought Smough, Bearer of the Pygmy, carrying a generic hollow model on his back.Imagine if, instead of fighting the Fume Knight, we fought Velstadt, Hammer of Nadalia.Imagine if, instead of fighting the Orphan of Kos, we fought Gehrman the Firstborn, whose model was slightly changed to have Kin parts sticking out.Imagine if, instead of fighting Gael, we fought Prince Lothric of the Healed Legs Order.Imagine if, instead of fighting Isshin, we fought Gyoubu Masataka Oniwa except he no longer had a horse and was very upset.
Just make Godwyn a dual wielder as well and replace Radahn's model with Godwyn and the fight would be so much more kino. It's so weird for there to be several items describing how Miquella wants to resurrect Godwyn and then fucking Radahn comes out of nowhere.
>>483634343>>483633963NOTHING. THANKS FOR THE 40 DOLLARS GAIJIN. ARMORED CORE VII WILL RELEASE NEXT YEAR.
>>483634343false advertising
>>483634132I don't think so I think Messmer is definitely resting to fire and holy, and Radahn is most definitely resiting holy either way if your jam is holy I'd pump strength all the way. fire can be a pure caster, but with the new fire knight seal you can get away with splitting the two lighning I would say just use the new Knight lightning spear and win, but with the death knight axes I'm loving being a strong boy and swinging away honestly STR/FTH got some pretty fun and diverse tools
>>483634279Marika was right about them.
>>483632194Skibidi avatar and prepubecent knight were the only guys I killed in one try, bunch of tin can jobber bums
>>483632343>I'm going to leave the hornsent to his own devices.>With the object of his vengeance gone, his blade has grown dull.>In that state, I don't imagine he will ever fight again. I needn't bother with him.>Lest, of course, another target for his retribution should appear.Leda is a mean bitch...
>Erdtree>Haligtree>ScadutreeWhat the fuck do these words even mean?
>>483634407Imagine if, instead of posting walls of text, you killed yourself.
>>483634343literally just false advertising trying to make the dlc story look more interesting than the laughable garbage that they ended up releasing
>>483634283>Fucking kill yourself trannoid filth*ftfy
Can you miss Leda's quest?
>missing 1 scadutree fragmentI went to every spot marked on the map and i cant for the life of me find which 1 im missing.Radahn is dead but this missing fragment is killing me
>>483634407>Imagine if, instead of fighting Isshin, we fought Gyoubu Masataka Oniwa except he no longer had a horse and was very upset.sounds kino
>>483634407Funny post
>>483634508Imagine if, instead of having tiktok induced brainrot, you could read more than two sentences.
>>483633698ranni is best girl, what's the issue?
none of what happenend in the first trailer made any sense in the end lol
>>483634212str/fth got a lot of fun new tools with the new fire and lighting spells and weapons sooooodo that
>>483632194>Getting ass kicked by Bayle yesterday>Hop on today and nuke him in 3 tries with little difficultyFuck me, the skibbidy buffs are for real. Why is Miyazaki punishing me for being gainfully employed and only playing during evenings.
>RellanaS tier>Golden HippoD tier, insta charge/grab is AIDS>BayleA tier, only cheap is the bullshit charges and grabs with DS2 hitboxes>Dancing LionB tier>Putrescent knightF tier annoying never ending attack chains, even blocking with lots of end a maxed out shield and the stamina ring, shield talisman get insta broken >MetyrF tier magic spamming bitch>Scadutree Avatar(4 phases of faggotryF tier>MessmerC tier too much L2 spam >Rominanajka 2 elden boogaloo not bad b tierhavent fought the boar knight, the frenzy knight, or the 2nd big red bear, or the death knight

bros how do i get there
>>483634532She has a quest? She just invades hornsent / ansbach and you choose who to side with
>>483634504Erd = WorldHalig = HolyScadu = No real idea, theres a italian word that means ''theatrical'' but thats about it. Probably just means shadow.
>>483634504Scat treeIts poop
>>483633770Ranni didn't order Rahdan to kill Malenia so she could kidnap Malenia's soul and stuff it into another relatives corpse for use as a sex slave/puppet warlord, for one thing. She also wants to banish the order and fuck off, not conquer it and rule herself.
>>483634407W-we'll get a better ending in a patch dear anon... trust.. the plan...
>>483634614it's depicting Marika ascending to Godhood surrounded by the corpses of her people apply yourself
>>483634450have you tried the messmer incants? 60 faith is a whopper
>>483633963you can get multiple different outcomes based on how you interact with the NPCs, blame the retarded reporter for misinterpreting it
>>483634614How come the dlc is about the origins of Marika and her ascension to godhood, yet we get jack shit on the gloam eyed queen that was the direct rival?
>>483634734I think scadu is shadow
>>483634614>>483634794Marika sure likes to take her top off
>>483634203Anon ymir is literally growing parasites iin his flesh that, if successful, will kill him and turn into new fingers.
>>483634602Imagine if, instead of being a stupid nigger, you killed yourself.
>>483634693There. Go south along the wall
>>483634693Turn left from the Cross where you met Ansbach and Moore. There's a path on the side of the mountain.
>>483634504Erdtree is called Golden Tree in JapaneseScadutree is called Shadow Tree in Japanese, it's also "Shadow" in Old EnglishHaligtree is "Halig- Tree" - Holy Tree.
>>483633963There are no endings so it doesn't even matter
>>483634656Dont make fun of Miquellas feet, okay? Hes very insecure about them.
>>483633779Oh yeah the hammer is kino, I have it sacred infused on my faith character and it dominates
>>483634918Your arguments? Where are they?
>>483632194I was talking to a friend of mine about the DLC story, and she thinks that the reason why none of the NPCs in the base game respond to the stuff in the DLC is because the DLC takes place after you kill the Elden Beast. Melina would be dead (usually), Gideon would be dead, Malenia would be dead, etc.
>>483634693

>>483634245Read her ash's description, anon, she stole your heart.
is bloodfiend's arm actually a drop? I swear these guys haven't dropped it and I've gotten two of the spears by accident when farming the guys with chicken wings at and around prospect village
>>483634980Couldn't you just tell Messmer that you're his dad now and you're putting him in time-out if that were true? His whole thing is being mad that you MIGHT become the Elden Lord.
>>483634797flame serpent is an S-tier spell and it's only like what 15 fth?flame rain is fucking STUPID trash messmer's orb is anime level stupid looking. it does a lot of damage sure, but you have no hyper armor. you're never gonna finish casting it flame serpent will literally carry you pair that with the new Knights lightning spear and you don't ever have to go past fth 36 desu

>reused a bunch of shit>not a single godskin
>>483635127no.it's a 100% drop from one of those bloodfiends, idk which one tho.there's a bunch of weapons like this in the DLC btw, the black knight twinblades also has a 100% drop rate from one specific black knight
>>483634693oh wow how the fuck did I miss this
>night setWelcome back, DS2 designs
any good/underrated strength weapons in this DLC I cant seem to find any, no int/fai/arc scaling please or ill hang myself
>>483635127I got it but I don't remember when, I think it's either a random drop or from a specific bloodfiend

I beat Bayle in two tries, am I allowed to be called good? I intentionally died first so I could summon Igon.

Where's the Mohg part of Radahn? I'm not seeing it? Am I blind?
>>483635159thanks for the info, i think 36 might be the sweet spot then

No Romina-porn yet. Did they make her too unattractive or people generally don't like centipedes?
>>483635272more like welcome back lotr designs
>>483635315Likewise, niggerfaggot. You can leave the board now, I wouldn't want you to miss today's HRT injection.
>>483635119well now I might need to ng+ to grab it. Luckily I saved Jolan and Anna from the big bad finger guy(mommy?) I wonder how good they are though, seems like they do a lot of bleed dmg.
>>483634176Almost anything right now, massive numbers online.
>>483635330He has two random horn parts sticking out of his arms.
What's the point of becoming elden lord then if Marika is your god? How would anything change other then the piles of dead bodies? Wouldn't that just fix the shattering of the elden ring and that's it?
>>483635437trash, they have no HP.
>>483633770Because Ranni aims to fix the world itself, and doesn't abandon the path she is taking 20+ times after doing fucked up shit just to give up and say "fuck this" in the end.
Just realised the scadutree is actually two trees with one like circling around the otherloreGODs, what are the implication of this?
You know, it's very absurd that you have "Prime Radahn and Miquella on his back" as a fucking boss. Feels like a weird shitpost.>>483635306I beat him with my wife Latenna and Igon, poor dragon stood no chance with 10000 arrows being fired.

are the fire golems weak to messmer fire or something or why do furnace pots do so much damage

>>483635143He's mad that you're his dad now, so he's going to kill you anyway. Miquella calls you "Lord of the Old Order" as well.
>>483635353At that low of faith, wouldn’t you be better off with clawmark seal if you’re also investing in strength?
Reposted analysis.I legitimately believe Miquella's ending was cut for being too happy. Not joking.His original ending in the base game is basically utopian, from what little we get. If it was retained there's absolutely no reason to go with another one. You end up with a magical saintly treehouse, an omnibenevolent golden god, and the now-probably-cured game mascot and strongest demigod as your new best friend.https://rannirespecter.wordpress.com/2022/03/31/miquella-malenia-and-the-age-of-abundance/In the DLC we were supposed to get something broadly similar. That cutscene of him lifting the veils and stemming the bleeding from the Scadutree in the gameplay trailer would match VERY well with his cut ending narration (and the model he used to have in the base game is already in the DLC, used for the flashback). But when you play the DLC it's nowhere to be found.This is really weird since you can see elsewhere in the trailer that this event would induce a permanent world state change for the skybox. That's far too much effort for one second of the background of one trailer. They clearly intended to keep it at one point. Miyazaki specifically said there'd be a visual change to the world to let you know you beat the DLC, but as now there's nothing. He also specifically references that unveiling cutscene as a spoiler in a 04/29 Chinese interview just a few weeks before the game came out, but it's also nowhere to be found. Yet dataminers have also found its cutscene file and ID, so it explicitly wasn't just made for the trailer eitherIt's not even just the real world factors that inform this, or the advertising lying (not just the trailer but stuff like the bit about us being guided to the land by Miquella which doesn't actually happen, he doesn't even want us there). It's the story. Your character gets absolutely nothing out of going to the Land of Shadows. You kill Miq and leave. AOA, TLC, TOH, AOA, and TRC all had an actual GOAL you accomplished. [1/2]
>>483634343Frondrones will defend getting scammed with false adevertisment
>>483635540He was unironically the easiest boss I faced so far. I had a harder time killing the Blackgaol Knight. I used the Dragon Hunter Katana tho, maybe I shouldn't have.
>>483635671Best girl in the dlc, with messmer being the best boy.
>>483634176139 is ideal, matches with both 125 and 150, and you almost never come across shit that shouldnt exist like 2000hp bullgoats mages, 150 is perfectly fine as well if you feel like you need the extra points dont be afraid to level there
>>483635706>Yet dataminers have also found its cutscene file and IDI still haven't seen any proof of this? You're just repeating this yourself because you want it to be true.
>bayle incantation insta killed mehuh? is this normal? 60 Vigorhttps://litter.catbox.moe/ib8gci.mp4
>>483635623This guy has blended with his controller. he is the controller.
Any reason not to explore the Ancient Rauh Ruins before Messmer?
>>483635698either clawmark or the new fire knight seal depending on what your casting I'd imagine
>>483635706So what the hell happened? Here's what I think. They got to the eleventh hour with a happier ending intact (probably induced by you interacting with Miquella after the boss fight hence why he doesn't have a death line). They then cut it because they thought it wouldn't fit the tone they were going for. They wanted godhood to be inherently corruptive and thought a good god like Miquella would go against the messaging. That's why Miyazaki kept asserting his desire to portray a hostile and bleak world in interviews done literally the week before the DLC released. That's why the unveiling trailer was still being used in TV spots the week of release (probably made ahead of time). That's why even the area Miquella is in at the end of the gameplay trailer doesn't appear to exist in the DLC. And that's why you just kill him and leave without any further elaboration, with the last cutscene being, as noted earlier in the thread, a static image of a recycled model in a featureless room for 30 seconds as narration plays. This is also why no one in the base game acknowledges DLC events, a first for From games: the dialgoue they recorded didn't fit the new ending.They just removed content and didn't have time to replace it with anything. The world visual change Miyazaki talked about in interviews (not specifically the veil disappearing, but he said there'd be something) never happens and the DLC doesn't have an actual ending cutscene.
>>483635706Don't forget this.
>>483634139no
>>483635825Does fire knight seal incant actually scale with strength? I’ve seen a few people say it does, but when people post scaling, they only mention faith
The lore is trash now.
>>483635519>The head of a monstrous shadow sunflower manifestation of the Scadutree. Then again, it might be just a flower, wielded as a weapon. Much like the Scadutree itself in appearance, a second stalk winds tightly around the first, almost as if in a tender embrace.
>>483635743>false adevertisment>40 dollars>cut contentIt's all you, isn't it? Every single one of these schizo posts is yours? You're just some pedo who is so mad he didn't get the girl (boy) in a fucking video game that you spend your entire week here convincing people to dislike the game too.
>>483635983>now
>>483635706They wouldn't spoil an ending in a trailer. And that kind of ending would just antithetical to Fromsoft's/Miyazaki's sensibilities, so I don't see why they would ever put resources into something like this.

What are you eating for dinner tonight, /erg/???
Is doing bosses with NPCs the new standard?There are summons for most major bosses in the DLC and some are required for quests, right?I'm starting to enjoy the chaos of multi-npc fights. The festival and golden projectile spam by Melina were already fun in the main game

yup, it's gamin' time

>>483636030>>483635706The entire DLC is about Miquella and finding out what he's up to. It absolutely makes sense to show some random, non-important images of Miquella in the trailer. They make expensive cinematic shots for trailers all the time.
>>483635706Nah, your headcanon was wrong. Miquella is depraved and evil just like most other gods. Cope and sneed.
>>483636102This isn't the furry convention, ya' freaky sodomite.
>>483635798He's got his dragon form and it boosts the incant damage, probably has other modifiers too so it can happen.
>>483635850I'm pretty sure they just didnt finish it.Fromsoft is EXTREMELY inneficient and for some reason they like to make l;at minute change tothe story. This is why in all their game the later half is mediocre at best and why they had to patch in some NPC quest in ER.
>>483635798Skill issue.
>>483636069would be great if he hugged your mimic and the mimic gets a full revive and then fight you with your shit.
>>483636030It's not at all. All of the DLC endings had some optimism to them, like creating a new Painted World, stopping the Hunter's Nightmare, or rescuing Dusk. This DLC is actually unique in having your character accomplish absolutely nothing.
>>483636048Probably nothingMy doctor tells me every time I see him that I REALLY need to gain weight, but eating just feels like a chore, I take no pleasure from it

Miquella reminds of that one cyanide and happiness strip where one man says to another man "careful, there's a child rapist on the loose", in the next panel the second man says "we're adults there's nothing to worry about", the third panel the first guy says, "not a child rapist, a *child* rapist"" and in the final panel the two men are being chased by a small boy trying to rape them.If I had it saved or knew how to find it I would just post it with something like "miquella be like"
>>483636275It'd be more like>Enter fog gate>He immediately does his shoulder tackle, giving you 1 second to react>Then he hyper tracks you into a 10 hit combo>He gives you 2 seconds to counter attack before another 10 hit combo>Followed by an arena wide AoE>If you survive all that, he will walk menacingly towards you for 3 seconds>Then it's another 10 hit combo
Is radahns cuck sword any good? It looks fun but the weird stat tax means id have to respec to use it.
>>483636275git gud
>>483635850If true, then dataminers will soon find lines from Melina or Gideon or whatever that mention the removed ending. I'll count every day without such as evidence against this theory.
>>483636275>tranime reaction face>abysmally retarded and unfunny postName a more iconic duo
>>483636264Imagine if you spent all this time and effort into getting a few half-decent people together and making a mod for your prefered ending. You have the model, you can use AI to do most of the other stuff. All you need is someone who is handy with the computer gook shit and you can have the game you're dreaming of.
Why is there a wall saying something about Miquella in Stone Coffin Fissure? What do I need to do?

Why did Miquella have to mutilate himself to become a god? I dont get it
>>483636406You stop a psychopath demigod from ascending into full godhood, that's not nothing
>>483636205it is, which is why I have the knights lightning, but it makes up for its shit range by hanging in the air (so input reading enemies dodge early) then literally locking on like an intercontinental ballistic missile and flying to the enemy

>>483636584Wow, you know what I could also do? Not kill Radahn and not go to the shadow land, then he's fucked
>>483636275he also has a grab attack and you can turn his soul into a mid incantation that requires 70 faith
>>483636532anyone?
So with new lore who is the best demigod now?
what's the recommended route for the dlc?we know that you're supposed to beat renalla first around skibidi 2 or 4 not after reaching skibidi 10 or 15.I haven't beaten any remembrance bosses yet other than the dancing beast and renalla
As a final note: the entire fucking DLC is written around the fact that we shouldn't join Miquella. Even if just for his own sake. If this was some last minute rewrite, this would not have been the case. They clearly knew they were doing down this path, so this must have been a decision they made at least a year ago.
>>483636180>but if your casting messmer flame spells>spells>sThere's literally only 1 usable messmer fire spell. Messmer's boss spell isn't atrocious but it's not particularly good either, it's like a slightly improved Scarlet Aeonia without the rot, and the rain spell is so bad I actually can't believe it's a thing.
>>483636584There's nothing to stop. Miquella's total impotent until you go there and burn the tree. You can literally do nothing and accomplish the DLC's goal.
>>483636584You stop a person Miyazaki made evil so he could use it as an excuse to have no influence in the base game.>>483636698>Finger InfluenceMiquella, the one person who tries to ward off the Outer Gods with his needles would shred his flesh because of that. Amazing.I just remembered we also have no information about his shadow. Epic!
Can i get a friend to help me out with Radahnn? I've been doing this shit solo for a while and I'm ready to just be done with it. I'll be at the fog gate.

Rahadon is weird man, sometimes instead of doing the purple fly at you he wants to do a lion claw instead and will slowly walk towards you until you let him. If you walk away for too long he'll just do the pull instead.Really odd ai

>>483636887yeah it's a goddamn embarrassment, but flame snake is super good
>>483636950No you cant, sick fashion though you look sexy
I really feel that DLCs should not be so fucking cryptic about things. This isnt a full game to decipher everything, its 1/3rd of the size and we just get even more mysteries. I hate this type of "open ended" storytelling. Feels lazy and phoned in and doesnt feel like it has proper closure or any sort of payoff.
>>483636984>arcane isn't good enough, it needs ALL the status effects!No
>>483636964There's no way anyone in that gaggle of dumbasses can beat Messmer.
>>483636275>medium shield with a parry ash>greatshield with a shieldpoke weapon>weapon blocking with deflection tear>quickstep/bloodhound step>lightroll>knowledge of positioning to sprint around/jump over attacks when possibleFact is that midroll is not enough anymore and that's what's filtering all these shitters who thought these games were all just roll and r1. This isn't your grandaddy's souls game anymore.
How many Scadutree fragments do I need for >the camera to work properly and zoom out while fighting bigger enemies>the gameplay to be about something different than waiting for the enemies to finish their adhd combos >the map to be something more than barren fields filled with shadows dogs defending a corpse on a cliff with a cookbook attached to it >the dragons to disappear entirely>the story to be something other than gay diarrhea full of random shit nobody asked forTell me how many fragments will solve all that and I will gladly find them all

An employee at From once jokingly said that the most powerful characters are the players and the various player type npcs we can summon throughout the way.Is it because we/they are the ones who are in theory doing the boss killings?
If you redeem ANY skidoo fragments you didn't beat the dlc.
a pretty stupid question but anyway im running a pure dex build with keen nagakiba (unsheathe)1. can i make a blood affinity unsheathe?2. is it even worth it to make it blood affinity instead of keen if I just play pure dex? 3. i want to get a backhand blade. when I get it, should I make it blood or keen?

would ranni still love you if you were a wyrm
I find it both frustrating and hilarious that they didn't just have an item saying that Malenia and Radahn were friendly martial rivals who sparred a lot when they were younger. It's a popular subject of fan theory and I can see why because it just makes sense both logically and thematically. That would actually add depth to both of their characters and their battle. Instead the DLC said "yeah Radahn did have a friendly martial rival in his youth, but it's this reskinned Tree Sentinel OC." Literally parody-tier writing.the gaius-messmer-radahn thing is also really stupid and fanservicey yeah. like i just don’t get the “here’s an albinauric who actually learned about gravity magic first before radahn did and then he was best fwiends with radahn! he was like his elder brother! but also he’s a cursed albinauric :( so he was friends with messmer! even though messmer is supposed to kill the impure and graceless, which albinaurics are described as. :D” what is even going on here?
This weapon is very, very strong. Even on non-dragons.Ranged, chargeable attack and the jump built in can dodge a lot of shit. Does very good damage and respectable stance breaking powers.Not sure why they put bleed on it tho.
yes i did use mimic tear in the base game and a great shield in the dlcand no i do not watch anime
>>483637416Can I get a quick rundown on these "discord" people? Are these the guys (or guy?) spamming the same shit over and over again about Miquella?
>>483636950Anybody at all? Is /erg/ filled only with shitposters or is there someone with honor among you?
>>483637362>>483637373>>483637424>>483637434so... you're just shilling the game and can't give a single reason?

>>483637534Indeed, but there's another weapon that's even better. It's the generic Great Katana.
>>483637556>honorYou're begging like a little bitch for other grown men to help you with a boss. You didn't/won't beat the game btw.
Holy shit the leda fight is pretty kino
>>483637490Nothing can stop you

When they nerf those perfumes, I'll feel sorry for people trying to go after those wicker giant.
what doesn't it even mean to be a god in elden ring? you're obviously nothing compared to the outer gods

>>483637495is that the opposite version of>honey, would you love me if i became a worm?kek
>>483637518I guess they went too far with the Berserk fanboyism.Malenia is not!Casca, Miquella not!Griffith and Radahn not!Guts, and you have to be aware of that metadynamic in order to appreciate the ingame story.Quite stupid
>>483636572>>483636698I don't get this because I thought Miquella was already separated from his physical body, which is the husk in the cocoon
>>483637548If I agree with the post: based individual, probably my own post that I forgot about itIf I disagree with the post: discord raidSimple as.
>patch made the game piss easy>was at the final boss and finally beat himThankfully they're giving refunds to everyone who says its too hard. :) 100/10 dlc though I will never be touching ER again
>>483637687It was, between that and the festival they are getting pretty good at these style. Only issue if they shouldn't have given you the choice to summon and just had people come help you as you got ganked.I get it for gameplay reasons tho
>>483634139Correct me if I'm wrong as I've yet to do her questline but isn't she just some descendant/survivor of dragon worshippers and not an actual ancient dragon? We don't know what an actual ancient dragon in human form would look like.
>>483637410>Day[9] before and after Dota 2
>>483637548Prolly. Elden Ring is absolutely cursed with a great amount of religious haters. Remember shazamposting?
>>483636950I can help for a few tries if you wantPC?
>>483633770>>483634142I mean it's established in the game that Ranni is trying to act though but that deep down she's pretty weak and lacks the ruthlessness of her fellow demigods. Miquella is kind of the opposite, he is twisted person who's keeping that nice guy facade to control people. It isn't really a surprise that they get treated differently.

Can't believe that the 3 swing combo Radahn does made it through playtesting. I've heard that it used to be a true combo and that was thankfully changed, however, why is the 2nd swing of the chain still impossible to dodge after the first swing.

>skibiditree on pure strwell that was annoying, i actually had to learn its moveset
>>483638542I'm in it for the fingers, I love those guys
Honestly the boss design in this game is an absolute sick fucking joke. I finally understand why the bosses feel so goddam awful and just plain bad. Here what I found out:For some stupid reason, the input delay in Elden Ring is absolutely horrendous. Seriously, go play dark souls 3 and sekiro and see for yourself there is almost no input delay between you pressing a button and the game character performing said action. Bloodborne has horrible input delay as well. I don't if this is intentional or a bug. It wouldn't surprise me if the whole game is buggy as hell.Another thing I fount out is that awful delayed attacks are literally unreactable for these reasons:1. Unnatural long wind up and lighting fast delivery. One boss can and will delay their attack for ages and then release said attack in a matter of few frames. go try it yourself. These attacks are literally design to be unreactable. You cannot escape them, you can only memorize the wind up length and react before the boss even prepares to release their attack. 2. The bosses AI will go absolutely insane if you even dare to heal. The boss will stuntlock you into a state where anytime you heal you will get punished with an unreactable attack. If you dare to run away as far as possible the boss will chase and get within breathing distance to instantly punish you if you heal. I've literally ran out of stamina multiple times because the boss wouldn't let me run away and heal. Not to mention that sometimes the boss will throw a range attack (that is unreactable btw) to punish your heal from range.3. Stun locks: The DLC is especially bad at this. There are certain attacks that will stun lock you to death without no counter play. There is also the fact that AOE spam is another way for this game to artificially increase the difficulty of its bosses. Not only that, these will also tank your fps and obscure your field of vison to the point it is quite impossible to find out what's going on in your screen.(1/2)
>>483638340Yeah just a bug with the new patch>>483638475>devs say that basegame won't affect dlc>BUH BUH BUHit never was
>>483638503You miss out on the AoW Swift Slash, but that's it.
>>483637898>I mean it's established in the game that Ranni is trying to act though but that deep down she's pretty weak and lacks the ruthlessness of her fellow demigods>Fucks up godwyn utterly>Leaves Iji and Blaidd to dieYeah no she's pretty ruthless
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sKvBT0P5KloFeeling incredibly vindicated for calling out blind spot as the absolute fucking horseshit that it is in PVP
>>483638443I think it's just a glitch. I got it once earlier today, restarted and it was fine again.
>>483638475that was always wishful thinking from fans'zaki said the DLC had no connection to the base game and he was surprisingly telling the truth
>>483637392alway good bleed anon
>>483637898I wouldn't trust Seluvis when it comes to assessing other people.
>>483637005Anon he can just get more pieces without you
>>483637495if you turned into a wyrm then would ranni still call you superman?
>>483638187Litteral skill issue
>>483638580Another lie. The journalists described the exact same fucking story, bosses etc.
>>483638592did you just post valid criticism of a heckin FROM game?GET HEKKIN SKILLERINO, CHUMP!>summons mimic tear +10 and spams perfume on boss
>>483638416They still do great damage. An r2 on torrent does 3k at the very least. More if you can hit them with more of the dust.Its a higher skill ceiling weapon because its all about aiming the dust to get maximum hits on the mob
>>483638104lmao i got guardbroken and died instantly because I ran out of stamina corssing the massive arena, my bad
>>483635950who is that?
bros how the fuck do I get to the frenzy forest?
What drives this man to circumcize all his games? Does he not view them as complete without cutting the tip off?
>>483638812It's cool, anon. i'm just glad to have someone else who knows what they are doing for a change. i'm out of eprfumer mats else i'd be using that shit too.
>>483638601>>483638630But wasn't there a journo that played the game before everyone else that said it...
So, what's the consensus? Where would (You) rate the DLC at?
how many questlines have I failed by walking into the shadow keep?
>>483638857secret wall behind a waterfall before the storage room in shadow keep
>>483638653Why ? He's a professional rapist who has spent a long time observing her.
Are "the fingers" those alien looking worms that lurk near the finger ruins?
>>483638882no
>yellowsissies when they have to fight alone
>>4836388909/10, just like the base game
Best enemy to test the Sekiro tear flask against?
>>483638542>>483638590Im in for fingering marikas ass
>>483638879I'd dropped the sign down again, I'll keep going until we do it!
Even with the nerfs, is Blasphemous Blade still the most powerful pre-DLC weapon?
>>483638971that's the spirit
>>483638592im not reading all of that shit, but the main problem is the input reading and the ability for bosses to cancel recovery frames whenever you feel like attacking them. so many fucking moves in this game that intuitively look punishable, and in any other souls games WOULD be punishable, but nope: margit just cancels that shit and stabs you in the face repeatedly. crucible knights do a big flying swoop move on you, and if you do nothing they do nothing but walk menacingly, but god help you if you try to attack because you're getting an immediate double tail whip.it's all so tiresome. i beat it but it's all so tiresome.
grrm just posted on his notablog that he is releasing his notes on elden ringare you excited to learn more about the pre-shattering lands between?
>>4836388904/10 just like base game
Anyway now as the dust has settled and Miquella is evil, is Morgott only relatively sane demigod in ER universe?
>>483638592>The bosses AI will go absolutely insane if you even dare to heal. The boss will stuntlock you into a state where anytime you heal you will get punished with an unreactable attack.

I've literally ran out of stamina multiple times because the boss wouldn't let me run away and heal. Not to mention that sometimes the boss will throw a range attack (that is unreactable btw) to punish your heal from range.Absolute shitter cope. They put a miniboss in the first area of the game so you can learn how to avoid heal punishes. The other two points have some merit though.>>483638857Extra secret hidden wall in the Shadowkeep and then go through a catacomb.
>>483638890Everything up to Messmer is 8/10.Everything past that is -1/10. Literal blue smelter demon tier final boss.
>>4836388900/10 still can't wear the elden ring, shit game
>>483638890Maybe like an 8/10 or even a 7. Just feels like the story was a complete waste and inconsequential. Some bosses were not fun. But the exploration and weapon arts were really cool.
>>483638859It happens in every serious piece of media. 80/20 rule applies. Many concepts / levels / ideas are scrapped early on.>>4836388909/10. Gameplay, map, characters were all great. I even like most of the lore (from what I've seen so far) despite hating the leaks. It makes much more sense in game.
>>483638630>>483638601>random fucking faggot that played the DLC early says "I hope you have Malenia alive LOL", later on deletes tweet>this shit doesn't matter in the slightest
>want to explore side areas and beat side boss>need a fucking route map to know where the fuck to gohow did you sink so low, fromslop
Aah, you were at my side all along.My true mentor... My guiding starlight...
>>483638857End of the Darklight catacombs spits you out there
>>4836388908/10 end game elden ring bosses have always been a blemish on the game but some of the better dungeon designs (the catacombs are great) in the series imo but the new talismen are fucking sweet.
Dryleaf is pretty fun. Messmer's fire knights get shit on. And the fists weight only 1 kilo.
>>483638925Those are lampreys. The fingers are the creature in roundtable hold next to Enia, or on top of the divine towers
>>483638890>before radahn and shit ending10/10>after the disaster of ending fight and ending8/10
>>483638637bleed scales with arcane isn't itand I have 0 arcane lol
>>483639072isn't it kinda shit?
>>483638890On second playthrough its much better. I didnt have to spend a day looking for a single tunnel to access large portions of the map. The scadutree fragments are really annoying though and should have been clearer.
>>483639069The only area I couldn't find the entrance to was, ironically, Bonny Village. I thought the drop would kill me. Your exploring chops are weak.
Messmer's on vacation.
>>483639141No it kicks ass. Phenomenal damage. Anyone who claims otherwise isn't using the right talisman/flask setup. You need Millicent's/Rotten Winged/Thorny tear.
>>483638592Only the first point is valid and even then only SOMETIMES
>>483639096unless all of that true combos and has hyperamor (which I doubt it does) then it's shit for pvp (which is the only thing that matters)
>>483639131then no unless you want to respec, and the backhand blades are sick so it'll be fun regardless

>>483639064I Hate miyazaki so much...
Frenzied Kings is it true the DLC has some crumbs for us?
>>483639230not nearly lanky enough.
on the topic of endless attack combos. They suck ass. But allow me explain in autistic detail why:The endless flurry of attacks are boring repetitive and blend into each other because they are so uninspired and dull. making it difficult to differentiate and figure out which is which. 90% of boss attacks can be describe as this: big guy with a sword does a spinning attack with some sword like weapon. Where is the variety? what are some bosses that use scythes, hammers, flais, hands, kicks? it's all swords and greatswords.Elden ring boss design is such a fucking sick joke man. The series is fucking dead.
>>483633738kek
>>483639246how do you get off the weapon art against bosses, tho? it takes way too long to do the full combo and bosses attack you nonstop
>>483639282ONE fucking journalists posted that about Malenia. It was likely fucking bullshit, which is why he deleted it. You're a fucking moron.
Those shrieking owls startle the hell out of me
radahn second phase tanks my fps really bad
>>483639072>couldn't find a fucking int weapon for the life of me>finally find the shitty sword>beat all the bosses and notice I missed one small area in the coast>it has two int weaponsdevastating honestly
>>4836388909/10On one hand, I can see how this took two years. On the other hand, I can see that this took two years.>>483639295We're feasting, don't worry
>>483638963I had fun trying it against horned knights
>>483639261I've only played a frenzy character once, but the fact that all of your incantations are self-harming you made the playstyle more interesting to me than a regular caster
>>483639096Damn thats so slow to kill. Imagine not rolling sparks at their feet and 1 shotting them with and additional 8k dmg overkill
Is this any good (even though I can't use it)? So far all the remembrances I've gotten have been pretty easy choices but neither of these seem great.
>>483639261I saw someone's webm, where they kept using that incantation without any madness buildup on themself. What gives? Is there some armor which gives you immunity? Or was it a flask effect? Or was it just cheating?
>>483639259so it seems like that with 8 arcane bleed is useless ok then, I'll just make that blade keen and dont give a fuck anymore thx
>>483639392>Didn't expect sound... Fear, o fear.i laffed

they don't want you to use the dlc runes to level up, they want you to buy consumables and upgrade materials with them to use the weapons you find.
>>483639469I can't vouch for the weapon, but Scarlet Aeonia is better than the butterflies
>>483639096That poor mob, I've test like half the weapons on him and he's die hundreds of times to me alone.
>>483639072>Katana oh god it's fucking DISGUSTING
>>483639336You wait for openings like any other ash, plus two parts of the combo move your character so with really good timing you can use it to dodge attacks. I muled it over to a fresh character and have skullfucked the entire game with it. Plus the ash has a LOT of poise damage on it for smaller annoying enemies like greatshield knights and the hornsent dancer ladies, straight bullies them from 100 to 0.>>483639410That's a shame anon but there's always other playthroughs.
Does the Frenzy flame skill only work on tarnished or something?
>>483639539where does it say that?why do I need 200k+ of consumables each time I fight a boss?
>>483638592>>483639321Putrescent Knight does none of these things yet people still say hes a shit boss just because he moves around a little.
>>4836388906/10 and I'm never gonna replay it in my life, so maybe 6 is generous
How do I get to Ymir's second ruin?Can't find a way to get behind the shadow keep
>>483639607Yes. Everyone else in the world is immune to Frenzy, both gameplay-wise and canonically. I don't know why they didn't at least keep the burst damage part on non-human enemies.
how do i dodge mohg's fire blood attacks after he nihils me? if i roll >into him i just get burned and staggered by the fire, then comboed>left right or backwardsget hit by the blood and staggered then comboed out and dieim losing my mind this fight is so hard because of my arbitrary gameplay restrictions

>>483638187hit box on charge is obviously broken and the boss in general is janky and not play tested. I was able to bait out his little meteor throw 8x in a row before I got bored
>>483639676Need to do the secret gesture before the statue.
>>483639469Not really. It's cool that's an actual arcane weapon, that scales primarily off that, but most things will die before they rot.
>>483639647200k isn't even enough to upgrade more than 1 weapon

>>483639752Which statue?
how do I get to commander Gaius by sparing messmer?
>>483639968The one near the boar boss.
>>483639878I needed one more dex level and didn't feel like shooting birds for a bit. Instant regret At least I didn't need the weapons
>>483638036What do you even mean? the only fucking "difficult" part of messmer is his dumb rollcatch extensions that he will just randomly do if you DARE to hit more than 1 attack
>>483638890More Miquella porn is a plus. The NPCs are nice and the areas are pretty. 8/10.
>>483639986Just get to him the way you do normally, you don't have to kill Messmer to reach him, do you?
>>483639926can you parry blind spot or is it one of THOSE funny attacks
W-wait.. in a pure dexterity build bleed affinity is useless??
>>483639867Is that the one with the huge monster cock that's already been posted here or is it something new and actually half way decent?
>>483639701Sorry I meant the Frenzy sword not the the Frenzy status. When the Frenzy lord hits you it explodes spikes out your body, when he misses it explodes out the ground. The sword doesn't do the former to regular enemies at all it seems.
>>483639410Wait, there's another?
Guys please help. I cannot find the summon signs for Hornsent / Leda. I walked past that area and already tried to fight Messmer a few times. Did I mess up? Can I no longer help one of them?
>>483639920Isn't this the guy who got jumpscared in outerwilds and dropped the game
>>483639965you will learn
>>483639587It's classed as a katana so it gets the decent katana moveset without looking like a shitty weeb weapon AND gets free bleed which synergizes perfect with the multi-hit ash. It's glorious what are you on about?
>>4836388908/10, only hindered by the final boss
It's funny how people compare Miquella to Griffith when in fact Griffith is miles above in terms of motivations, design, character, themes, fucking everythingMiyazaki really is a hack
GUH ALMOST
I'm fucking bored with dual wielding colossal weaponsI thought the twin axes would be fun but they aren't. What should I try instead?
>>483639986Messmer is in a completely separate tower which leads nowhere. You can clear the entire game without touching him.

>>483640157You're becoming redpilled on big slow jump/R2 spam weapons being boring slop. Take the fast attacks combo pill and you'll find true enjoyment.
>>483639321The real problem is that they import Boss design from older game but dont import what makes them work in their respective game.The long combo tihng came straight from Sekiro, but it worked in that game for 2 reason, first because of the blocking mechanic and second because after a long combo string it was YOUR turn to be agressive. Being agressive and perfect blocking were the key to victory. You only get the long combo thing in ER.The second is the long wind up and instant delivery type of attack that came from bloodborne and worked in those game because you had a fucking ranged weapon to parry, and as such you had to account for the time bullet took to hit the enneny. They also imported the omnipresent heal punish from Bloodborne but again it worked in that game because of the regain mechanic that rewarded you for staying in melle and hitting the bosse. In ER you only get the downside and none of the upside, so your first instinc when hit is to back of and heal before going back in (which should be the default design) but instead you are ALWAYS in the danger zone without any upside whatsoever.
>>483640234Why?
>>483640108yeah.
>>483640234>finish my cool frenzy build using this thing>it becomes meta AIDS less than 24 hours laterpain

>Carian Thrusting ShieldThis weapon is based.
>>483640056Nope, no parry. One of the only counters to blind spot is blind spot again lmao. You are just two ballet dancers twirling around each other.I have no idea how they recognized the issue with bloodhound step and then decided to add a bloodhound step back in that is also an offensive move.
Senessax has to be the absolute worst designed boss in the history of the genre how in the fuck did they go from Placidusax to this dog shit
>>483640237>co-op>all greatshieldsyou never killed radahn
>>483640056It goes around shields so I don't know how you'd reliably parry it even if you can.>>483640397NTA but that's Frejya's sword bro.
>>483640237>everyone in that pic with a greatshield>everyone i see as ghosts also with a greatshieldDamn people give up so much and so quick
>>483640397I'm doing a strength and beast spell run anon.
Tell me this isn't the coolest shit
THERE'S TOO MANY WEAPONS I WANT TO TRY AND NOT ENOUGH TIME
>>483640254Oh, right, I found this but immediately forgot about it after seeing how short it was
>>483640481not too bad, anon
>>483640395It was pre launch and it was so bad I thought it was fake. It's still bad and I don't like it which is a shame because I love the rest of the DLC.
>>483640239You can make infinite Hefty Rot Pots?
>>483640237>>483640148>everybody's using the new NPC weapons>I'm stuck with bricked questlines, because I was playing blind, and walked into Messmer's room
>>483637870>jirenfag is a spic and lostLol
Made a masked wrestler. Give me a name and weapon to use.
>>483640395
>>483640395>Said I wouldn't look at /erg/ or any Elden Ring content>Click /erg/ anyway>Look at Radahn's "leaks">Close tab, no way that's true>Fast forward to the DLC, Ansbach talks about Mohg's body>...No fucking way...
>light greatsword guard counter>not a unique animation >literally just the heavy attack so lazy
>>483640395"Fan service like in Dark Souls 3"
>>483640481I cried>>483640551You're not alone, brother. It's time to embrace CE. Sorry if you're on console.
>>483633594I hate third person for this. It’s great for combat, but it’s shit for immersion.I genuinely hope they try King Field next
Tell me this isn't the coolest looking shit
>>483640395I pogchamped in real life against my will
>>483640392I'm having retarded amounts of fun.
>>483640395Felt shoehorned for fanservice, which is a shame when the rest of the DLC has a lot of good lore stuff.

>>483640405My bad i got greedy with healing.
>>483632773no mercy
You guys would have been fine with Miquella/Radahn if Miquella had ovaries.
>>483640624Use dryleaf arts with Horah Loux stomp on them.
>>483640624Mal Hombre Rojo, frenzy fists
>>483640101Did I fuck up here? Can I still continue their quests? Please tell me someone knows this?
>>483633770She doesn’t brainwash you for once
>>483640784It's fine. We'll get it any moment now.
>>483640395I was already accidentally spoiled when I read up his name when trying to cheese regular radahn when spinning up a save but seeing it after doing Ansbach's quest pissed me off
>>483640808No the problem is Radahn. He's the Blue Smelter Demon of Elden Ring.
>>483640475God help me I did too and used a medium shield just because I could not dodge that fucking T pose AOE as it made my computer go to 20 FPS.
>>483636209i want to try danes footwork. how do i get it?I really liked dryleaf arts with raptor though.
>>483640760The funny thing is this is a more honest kill than greatshield bleed pokes or perfumes.
so Midra was a failed lord right? and our tarnished is the true one?
>>483633390you could ask the same question for 75% of the incants in the base game. there's no way they were tested in a natural environment, compared to each other, checked for usability and cost and poise amounts, etc.
>>483640808straight child incest is still weird
>>483640760that's how I beat the entire base game at low levels.you don't even need to be 150 for that interaction
>>483640838>>483640101>already tried to fight Messmer
>>483640808At least they can't have retard babies
Is this how you imagine Rellana would look?
>>483640943He was a failed lord in the time of Godfrey I guess.
>>483640475I started using greatshields as soon as I had the stats for them. My cowardice is unrivaled.
How do I effectively take down all the Furnace Golem enemies? I ran out of butterflies for big fire pots and fuck trying to farm them.
>>483640130Did you really expect a souls game to have as good of writing as Berserk?
>>483640943Yes, we just don't know if he failed because he didn't become a flame face prior to fighting us or he became one and the hornset sealed his frenzy power being impaled in the face
>>483640760Unironically intended, there's a reason the two summons you can get both are heavily specced towards a status.
pantyshot
>>483640694not really
>>483640534>>483640674Oh come on you laugh at my fuck up and ignore my real post? >>483640694
>>483633963he was obviously referring to the ganksquad fight at the end which has a ton of different permutations
>>483640991What will happen now, exactly? Will I still have an opportunity to get Hornsent's gear? Surely Leda's quest will continue?
>>483640943He's no where near the Elden Ring, so he could have consumed enough grapes to become the Lord with Nanaya's help, but since he never came in contact with the Ring, the world never burned to the ground.Makes me wonder what happens to him in the games Frenzy ending.
>>483635052Fire tree dlc whenWater tree dlc whenWind tree dlc whenLightning tree dlc when
>>483641076>and the hornset sealed his frenzy power being impaled in the facegotta be this one, imagine frenzying out and someone cockblocks you by stabbing you in the face with spikes
>>483640694>Elenora PolebladeYou didn't beat the game
>>483641159nope i made it in just before this post >>483641130
>>483641053considering the other NPCs, that's wishful
>>483641083by design they want everyone to have a status effect.cold, rot, bleed, black flame.there's something for every build.
>he can't beat ghostflame dragon even with this build>like 6 tries nowim gonna stop watching now but lol, can't make this shit up. so much for the unstoppable FP shieldpoke meme.
>>483640808I would have backed Malenia/Radahn over feMiquella/Radahn.
Is there any point of interest in the Abyssal Woods extended area beyond Midra's Manse and that Church? Just wondering if I missed anything here.
How the hell do you get to the two green areas on the top of the map, to the left and right of the shadow keep. I cant get to the second finger grave yard or my sword of light.
>>483641176No idea. I'm in the same situation. But from what I understand, no.
Did Nanaya ask Midra to endure because she wanted him to become a Lord of the Frenzied Flame, or because she wanted him to not die and just hold on for life?
>>483641256he needs to use last rites ash of war with sacred blade weapon. they stack and grant 257% damage bonus to dead enemies
>>483640808No I'd have been fine with it if the fight wasn't designed like shit. I can beat every boss in this game save Malenia in 5 tries or less playing honestly (she usually takes 1-10), but fucking Radahn? That shit takes me 50+. It's absurd. It's retarded. It's ridiculous. There's too much AOE, too much spam, too much damage, too much health, AND an instant death mechanic. I've never in my life wanted a Souls boss nerfed, but this one 100% NEEDS A FUCKING NERF.
>>483641350>because she wanted him to become a Lord of the Frenzied FlameAre you dumb
we can't replay bosses so whenever I am about to beat a boss I just die to his attacks on purpose so I can fight him again if I have coopers who keep me from dying, I swallow tholliers poison so I can die anyway
>>483641260For what reason
>>483641314>If you ignore the signs, Leda will naturally transfer her attention to Ansbach. In my case, I initially chose to target Hornsent, but didn't receive the summon signs at the Shadow Keep. Whether that be intentional or not, in avoiding making a choice between the two, both Hornsent and Leda survived past this point in the quest.I found this. Seems like it might still be possible?
>>483641293through the shadow keep specimen storehouse
>>483641210Wouldn't be the first time (Us) or someone else in Elden Ring (or Soulsborne as a whole for that matter) has cockblocked someone the moment they got the goods and didn't have the chance to use it. Miquella being the latest example.
>>483641256okay one more because i didn't expect a college class on getting fucked by a dragon
>>483641278There's a couple of crafting recipes, plus the talisman from the winter lantern, if you haven't got it yet. Maybe something else, that's just what I found myself.
>>483639897people were hyping it up so I brought my autistic strength guy to the dlc and respecced to use it, but its literally just a bigger zweihander that has a stinger from dmc slapped onto the weapon art, quite disappoint

What are they discussing?
>>483640372He is definitely one of the odd ones. Probably an amazing speaker with maximum charisma, yet he journeys on his lonesome for maybe centuries in the land of shadow. I wonder how he and Torrent parted ways?
>>483641205>Fire treeI'd be down for fighting giant koalas in the Lands Downunder, in the shadow of a giant, explosive eucalyptus tree.
>>483641554don't give up
>>483641515She wanted him to not become one
>>483641537Beast 100%, occult infuse it or heavy/keen infuse it with bloodflame blade and it'll murder everything and be fun as fuck.
>>483638014If you side with Hornsent here you get a broken ash for pvp but the quest is less interesting.
>>483641350sounds like she just wanted him to suffer, I mean thats the whole point of souls games right? everything is bleak nothing is good happiness is for fags
>>483641256for the first time in my life i can say: skill issuei've beaten every ghost dragon with paper armor and a claymore with frost (which i think they're immune to?)

>>483641350We still don't know who Nanaya is. She could've been a finger maiden, or Shabriri body snatching bitches and tricking people into King in Yellow Communism.
What do YOU call these?
>>483641710The corpse in a chair before the Midra fight.I think
>>483638890Unironically the worst of them all. Maybe only Iron King was worse.Actually yeah, Iron King was worse. So it's the second worst DLC they've done.

>>483641350He's enduring his punishment, anon. The sword impaling him is sealing the flame within him. He has to endure that pain to not become consumed by the flame of frenzy.
>>483641946Cowboy bebop
>>483641502
>>483641615I think the worst thing about the fight is that fucking AoE pillar thing he does at the end of that combo struing. I've yet to figure out how to dodge that
>>483640075There's this sketchhttps://twitter.com/Nivyin/status/1805364524679315752

>>483641634They have the same moveset no? Except aow
>>483641278
>>483641934Don't blame the game for your own retardation. You can fight every boss in the DLC except Radahn and Midra without fighting a single enemy or boss, immediately. You're just dumb as a rock, boy.
>>483642036That's not a writer
>>483642075The big holy AoE in a circle after all his slashes? It's kinda BS but you have to roll in

>>483642037>181>79 fucking endurance>still dying to a dragonwhatthefuck
>>483640808Yeah, absolutely, anything bad about the DLC, including Radahn's dogshit secocnd phase, would be redeemed by this alone.I'm 100% serious.
>>483641934>open world means I can do shit out of order lmaono you fucking can't AND you are retarded because you actually can but the gating isn't bosses, its your own IQ and willingness to explore carefully.You fucking dickrammers getting owned by your own impatience makes me smiles

>>483642126Yes but the bears can't get more bleed via BFB or occult infusion, Beast can.>>483642220Maybe but at least my degenerate fetish isn't wanting to be raped by a man or get cucked. My degenerate fetish is to get a nursing handjob and paizuri from a big beautiful mommy type while she calls me a good boy.
>>483639501Lmfao you got me

uhhh so I went under Ymir's throne after ringing only the first belldid I fuck up?
>>483642082I've seen this one. It's bad.Miquella is the top.Miquella has a big dick, but it shouldn't look disproportionate.Those are the rules.>>483642075You should roll in.
>>483637005He did use the divinity gate. The problem is, he sacrificed everything to be God so much so that he lost his love. His Age of Compassion looks like brainwashing everyone to be happy and good judging how he charmed everyone around him.

>>483642645Yes. You'll find a big ass hole at the southern tip of the map, go down it.
So why Messmer refused to "impale" Rellana, if you know what i mean?
>>483642424Messmer was the peak of the DLC>Soon, Tarnished.>Wilt thou be taken in the jaws...>Of the abyssal serpent, shorn of light.I knelt in real life. The "forgive me" was funny though

A single word "Endure" was enough to make him obey and be a good boy, even after her death and the whole place falling in ruins.She's obviously a dominatrix, so she would punish him very often. Fucking a ton of men while he watches in the corner.
>>483638890Everything up to the final boss is 9.5/10Final boss is a 4/10 overall for the obnoxious phase 2 difficulty spike and a shit ending cutscene that doesn't reward you for the effort of beating Radahnquella

>>483642037>40 vigor>80 enduranceWhat the fuck
>>483642442who knows what you really want, anon. could just be lying and be into sicker shit you don't want to admit to. people lie all the time. i don't believe in morality based on some supernatural mystical bullshit, i believe in evolution and biology. we all got that shit in us.the scary thing is people looking at shit like the nazis or communists of the 20th century and acting like they're a different fucking species, like aliens or something. "we'd NEVER do that!" terrifying that people are so deluded.
>>483642464>mentioned Midra>forgot about Bayle because ancient dragon man is barely a bossPoint still stands: the DLC is even more open than the base game. It's easy to get anywhere, grab anything, or kill anything.
>>483642609>comparing classic literature to a shitty meme comic for degenerates
>>483642839It gives you the "Tip's Fedora" gesture.
>>483642776Ah, ok, I didn't pick up on that at first and I'm already at Rauh ruins or whatever they are called. Guess I'm gonna go down now then.
>>483642913it was just bleed
on my second playthrough of the DLC with my dragon communion only character (esp now that there is a dragon form) and this shit is so easy now that ive learned the actual fights. I think the complaints about the constant attackins way overblown. All the dragon communion incants are SO slow and I have plenty of room to use them.
>Midra's Greatsword uses the Claymore movesetHoly kino.
>Lower level invasions are full of twink co op summons with ordovis armor in stormveil that never seperate from the hostare all of them dirty cheat engine users? no shot every single co op summon played the entire game at low RL only to co op with someone
>>483642913Bloodborne veterans completely shit on everything miyazaki ever made after the fact. I pity anyone that refuses to buy a used junker PS4 just to experience peak Soulsborne because Sony will never ever bring Bloodborne to Steam without some fucking helldivers tier bullshit.
Is Rellana's armor the only boobplate in Soulsborne?
>>483642767cool, thank you
>>483643025most complaints are trolls or shittersretards get filtered by ghostflame dragon and deathrite bird ffs
>>483640395I was accidentally spoiled beforeheand via webm but the retard who uploaded it uploaded it in the shittiest quality they could muster.It was pretty exciting to fight Radahn in his prime pre-space aids
>>483643025Of course its easy now.But I agree that everyone bitching and moaning was just trying to dick ram the DLC as fast as possible thinking they can jump R2 the entire game with a 713 character and they got filtered for being faggots.
>>483642037Never seen an endurance build before lmfao.
>>483642573dependsare you trying to cast spells? meet the minimum maybe more the actual axes themselves scale mainly off STR and even the AoW is mainly off STR. faith raises the lightning but that's it my suggestion? get enough to cast knights lightning because it's fucking busted then stop there
>>483642037They ruined the DLC to placate these people. Let that sink in.
do I need to kill radahn to access the dlc? he drops an item I need or whatI saw a guide that just completes vaares quest without killing radahn
>>483643089>invade at stormveil>password phantoms>get summoned at stormveil>twink invadersLow level pvp is just not worth it
they didnt have to go so hard
>>483643338yeah u need to kill himI had to speedrun caelid when the dlc came out bc I only killed Mohg
>>483643338You need to kill him because he's the final boss.
>>483643338Yes. You'll get spoiled if you stay here
>>483643338You need to kill both Radahn and MohgAnd no, changing their death flags in cheat engine doesn't work, you need to manually kill them.
>>483642773>breastfeeding nursingThat's redundant, nursing is literally breastfeeding bro.>>483642787NGL Messmer's VA did amazing work. Didn't even mind when he killed me, his lines are bad ass.
>>483643386This was probably my favourite city location they've ever done. It felt like the best parts of Ringed City and Lyendell put together.

>>483643581>522holy shit why even play the game at that point
>>483643647It looked cool even if the combat encounters were mediocre.
Mongrel Intruder.
>>483643113Most of the bosses and stronger enemies in Elden Ring feel like they were designed for Bloodborne and Sekiro. Bloodborne is the best in the meta-series but I have this weird resentment towards it since it and Sekiro started the arms race with the players that made Elden Ring worse.

>>483643089If you have the same password a level 1 can summon a max level. Granted they are slightly downscaled to "match" the host's damage output but it never works that way. As most of your damage output and defense is determined by your gear.
>>483643025Do you use any weapons with your build?
>>483643519True, VA was great. They changed it for some reason after the gameplay trailer but if anything the new one is better so it works out just fine.
>>483643773When the game came out people genuinely theorized that Malenia was a scrapped Sekiro boss.
>>483643581>A WHOPPING 12 VITALITY
>he never reached the godhood ending
>>483643852I have a pair of backup occult claws I use basically ONLY if I really am annoyed with some small fry mobs like resurrecting skeletons or dogs and I don't want to waste my dclaw on them
Bloodborne and Sekiro fans are so fucking annoying.
Whats this, 40 Vigor?
>>483643932I did the same thing lmao wondered wtf was up there
>>483643932h-h-HOW
So why are we even in the dlc and what did we accomplish?Usually there is a vague reason we are there, goal, or something.DS1 and 2 was the abyss and 3 was us being strung along.Here Miquellla didn't want us here despite us having their fucking steed.Shits retarded and more bosses should have cutscenes and dialogue
>>483643089Password phantoms are level 713 characters scaled down to only have 300HP but can still output 2K HP to you.Not sure what the cheeses were prior to the DLC but during the first few months everyone was holding on to pic rel to fight back the pre-nerf Stars of Ruin spamming faggots or using Assassin's gambit-Unseen form combo to break the player's lock on to make their spells miss.
invasions are unplayable as long as phantoms don't get downscaled. this is a fact.
>>483643887I don't know why since she's too slow and not aggressive enough to be a Sekiro. Were it not for the waterfowl dance she would be very easy.
>>483643859The new one is 100% better, he genuinely did the best VA work in the entire game if you ask me. I wish they'd used Messmer more because of it. They should've pulled a Margit and had us fight him multiple times.
>Start a new run>Try out INT build>do no fucking damage and bosses just dodge/block spells>end up meleeing anyway and wonder why I'm bothering to invest into INT at all
>>483642882this
>>483642882This. Amazing dlc, amazing scenery and sense of adventure. Great but mostly fair bosses. Until fucking Radhan.I had to respect to antspur+greatshield to cheese him. Really faggy.
>>483644019Rider sex
>>483637898Miquella is(was) a genuinely wonderful person, but he has the mind of a child. He was told he was going to be a god by his fingers and he just did it because he's like permanently 8 years old and doesn't fully understand he's being abused.
>>483643978Hahaha that Leda just knew
How does the vanish spell work in pvp with mage buildsis it true that it lets you start casting spells while invincible and skip most of the windup time?
>>483644001>So why are we even in the dlcTo help Miquella! But actually, in an epic plot twist, we are there to stop him! Even though we help him by killing Mohg, Radahn, and we burn the church and we kill Messmer!>and what did we accomplish?Ummm...we kill him? That's your ending.
>>483643978>loading screen for a minute>15 second invasion, push one button and kill the host instantly>another loading screenis this fun? i don't get it.
>>483644001Most other DLCs in in the series were vague and didn't provide a clear motive for the player character to be there.
>>483643026>uses the claymore moveset>crouching R1 is also a poke>its L2 has hyper armor and fantastic tracking>it 1-shots VIGlets like nobody's business, even if the first hit of the L2 doesn't triggerThis weapon was MADE for the bad red man, and I for one fucking love it. It makes Waves of Darkness look like piss when it comes to punishing pure, mindless aggression from the host and his two butt-buddies.
>>483642783It would feel awkward with his snake
>you can't turn leda into a spirit ash and use her to kill miquellawould have been kino
>>483638890The Old Hunters > Shadow of the Erdtree = Crown of the Old Iron King = Artorias of the Abyss > Ringed City > Crown of the Sunken King >> Crown of the Ivory King >>> Ashes of Ariandel
>>483644062just use skills until you have enough int to use the actual good spells
>>483643386It's a shame that all you fight is the same weird shadow people with a hard curved sword guys inbetween.Come to think of it... Why do we fight the same weird shadow people in ALL of the legacy dungeons?
>>483644062Uh....no?Sorcery spam is the most straightforward and simple cheese in the game.BTW you can go pick up "night comet" for a spell that doesn't cause npcs to react to it being cast.
Nerf Radahn, fix Gaius's hitboxes. Every other boss is fair and fun.
oops wrong thread>After testing the spread crossbow, it looks like human-sized enemies can only get hit and take damage by ONE bolt, but they seem to take status buildup from all bolts that pass through themI've been blasting away at Rellana and she gets bled in 2-3 shots with bleed bolts point-blank, while I haven't been able to bleed her with a regular crossbow at all (guessing 10-20 shots necessary)
What ash of war do I use to chees with the Bloodfiend's Arm? Lion's Claw or Savage Lion's Claw?
>>483644062Early game int at launch was entirely throwing rocks, pebbles, or cheesing things with mist
Is it true Miquella had an ending but was cut? In the gameplay trailer there were unused scenes.
>>483644252What are the "actual good spells"Do they cost 100FP per shot?
>>483643581Why are there so many retards averse to levelling up vigor
>>483637490God is just another title for alien slave in ER
>decide to invade people>first time i get immediately raped by three people surrounding me>second time i spawn in one of the big flower things and can't move>third time the person immediately starts the boss once i spawn
>>483642882The "ending" really gets me cause I kept looking around for something else thinking I missed a proper conclusion or something because the "reveal" was so underwhelming
>>483644259>Why do we fight the same weird shadow people in ALL of the legacy dungeons?:^)
>tired as fuck and 4 large glasses of whiskey>almost beat Messmer with a claymore while not doing much damageI'm not gonna quit until I get this guy. Such a fun fight.
>>483642121He wants to live for his wife
Has anyone even tried regression on Trina?
>>483644207It was fun when I was great combusting noobs in undead burg and it's fun now
>>483644316comet
>>483644207>loading screen for a minutehuh? my loading screen is 3 secondsbuy 1 ssd, retard
>>483644001>So why are we even in the dlcBecause everyone in the main game is dead Also loot>what did we accomplishmurder
>>483638890The DLC is a 10/10 except for Radahn who gets a 0/10 for being the first genuinely unfair Souls boss.
>>483644001You are the Elden Lord, or trying to become one, following Marika's Grace.Alternatively, you're trying to do any of the other endings.Pretty much all of them hinge on you becoming the Elden Lord and restoring the Elden Ring.Miquella is working against that, he wants to usurp Marika and replace you with Radahn, which will disregard the entire reason that you exist. Naturally, as a contender to the Throne, you're going to want to stop that.It's either you or them.
>>483644336First time? :^)
>>483644439He just started a run he ain't using that >>483644439
>>483643089Brother, those are password phantoms. Welcome to Elden Ring invasions, enjoy your stay. Luckily the majority of them are as dumb as a sack of bricks.>>483643581>522Come on, dude. It's seriously just inconsiderate to waste people's fucking time by summoning like this.>>483644325They think that all the people telling them to level VIG are the ones telling them that they're "not playing the game right", or that it's equivalent to that.
>>483644425BASED
>>483644338Same, at first I felt dirty for respecing into Fingerprint Poker build to beat radahn but the moment I saw the ending cutscene I stopped caring because at that point I 99% the map so i knew I didn't miss anything so if that was it, and there is no new base game ending to reflect it, then the final boss is meaningless.
>>483644439>cometJust use glintstone kris L2
>the ancient dragons started the dragon communion cult>pretty much encourages humans to feast on their distant cousinsSeems like a risky move. Sooner or later some madman will eventually try to feast on an ancient dragon as well instead of just their lesser offshoots.
I like how the entire community agrees every boss is fine except Radahn who needs a big ass nerf and that Gaius needs his hitboxes corrected.
>>483644336You need to invade the scorpion river catacombs. I don't think there's ever been an invasion spot where it's easier for invaders to win.
>>483644248>Leda gets grappled once>Her spirit ash turns into a red phantom and attacks youTHAT would have been kino
>>483643836yeah it's like throwing flame of the fell god into walls
So, does the DLC confirm that Melina is Marika's daughter?
>>483644236Just gift him some tentacle hentai so he knows what to do with excess flexible appendages
>>483643836>follow up with messmer's orb>follow up with greyoll's roar>follow up with bayle's shitfun overload
>>483643673Fucking hell, thank you so much for the hard carry, anon.
>>483644624Aren't Drakes technically the strongest? Bayle's a drake and he almost killed a dragon Elden Lord as a normal being.
>>483644667Melina is not mentioned in the DLC
>>483644530So Carian Retaliations till works?Old ways still work best.
>>483644646the hippo also has some ds2 shit going on in its hitboxes but it's an easy boss so people don't mention it
>>483644624>Sooner or later some madman will eventually try to feast on an ancient dragon as well instead of just their lesser offshoots.Literally my tarnished.
>>483644292bonus testing, getting hit by multiple explosive bolt explosions doesn't seem to do any additional damage
>>483644659holy shit if only...
Is 15 DEX enough for a STR Faith build? Should I get 13 INT for the holy spell?
>>483644250I really can't take anyone seriously if they compare AotA to SotEDo you guys actually realize how little content was in DS1's DLC? Not just low content, its barely anything. Its comparable to 1 legacy dungeon in SotE if that.The entire DLC had:>2 areas (oolacile gardens, abyss)>3 enemies (scarecrows, bloatheads, humanities if you even count them because lmao)>5 bossfights (prisoner, guardian, artorias, manus, kalameet)>0 new sorceries/incantations (just 5 reskins of existing ones)Elden Ring's DLC already doubles the tilesets for minidungeons, has about 70% of the content of the base game, a ridiculous number of new areas, enemies, bosses and spells
>>483644667we already knew that but yes, messmer's remembrance speaks about it.
>>483644725I completely flubbed the Killsat attack at the very end but I'm glad you managed it anon.Congratz
>>483644768It does high base damage and scales horribly, so ironically it works best at lower levels where the only people spamming magic tend to be password phantoms. It's sometimes enough to discourage people from spamming in higher level invasions, but not always.
>>483644747>Messmer, much like his younger sister, bore a vision of fire.That's all you get.
>>483644747So who is the sister that Mesmer's Kindling is talking about?>The kindling that burned inside Messmer the Impaler.A dark thing, eaten away at by a wicked serpent.Burns the sealing tree said to be found at the old Rauh ruins.Messmer, much like his younger sister, bore a vision of fire.
The more I think about the DLC's plot the less sense it makes. For Miquella's plan to unfold he needs >radahn to die>mohg to die>messmer to dieAll it takes for me is to not go to Caelid and that's it. And even if I go for the Ranni ending, I can skip Mohg entirely because his existence doesn't make any difference to the Tarnished one. This is a hallmark of shit writing if a lot of things have to happen in order for the bad guy to even have a chance of succeeding
>>483644725Didn't beat the game
>>483644325Even at 60 vigor, wearing armour and the Greatshield Talisman, I'm still getting three-shot.Games retarded.
Has anyone tried the Endure AOW against Consort Radahn's re-entry? How did it go?
>>483644745Bayle lost both wings and a leg, leaving him a cripple.Placi lost 2 spare heads and was otherwise unscathed.
>>483632617Buff the claw attack while you're at it. It's slow as fuck and still does less damage than dragonmaw, while costing way more and not having the inifnite hyper armor of maw
>>483644745Bayle is implied to be the first drake and absurdly powerful and violent compared to every other dragon. He's definitely the exception to the rule that drakes are inferior. The game outright states drakes are weaker, Dragon King's Cragblade info:>This weapon commands great power over the paltry, mortal dragons of today.Drakes are inferior, Bayle is not.
>>483644838This. People are absolutely delusional. SotE is better than any previous FromSoft DLC even with the flaws. It is not even a match. It is basically a full new game.
>>483644745Bayle is just built different
>>483644316Int build is about versatility at any range, but ideally nuking things before they ever get to you. For this purpose glintstone pebble/shard/cometshard/comet will be your bread and butter. You're turning your FP into powerful direct damage you can dump quickly into things from safety.Eventually of you do sorceress selen quest all the way you will get spiral shard which is a multi-hitting penetrating spell which absolutely shreds large monsters, and also homes.There are a bunch of fun and good sorceries with niche uses such as loretta greatbow (very long range), carian sword sorceries which are like magic melee attacks, and various magma and ice sorceries.That being said 90% of the time I'm casting comet vs normal enemies. If you're serious about continuing int run a nice way to start is with meteor staff from caelid and rock sling spell. Both are was to pick up.
>>483644956why would you do that? barricade shield or raptor of the mists would be better.
>>483644838This. The level of delusion when discussing the DLC is fucking absurd. I love ToH for its boss fights, dungeons, and narrative, but SotE is an absolutely massive DLC with a consistently high level of quality, marred by a few bad design decisions and a few disappointingly empty areas.It's like people forgot that the DS3 DLC was $30 together, as well.
>>483643581>Gavel of Haima as big hyperarmor fuck you attack>Blaidds armor for good resistance and poise>522 HPHow does he not see the issue in his plan?
You know what would've been better?Is if Leda was a boss herself, like Gideon.
I hate that they're going to nerf and gut all the fun stuff instead of buffing the shit that needs buffing
Congrats to the guy who just killed a shardbearer
>>483644725It's crazy to think how much damage he was doing with a 40% holy negation AoE buff on us
>>483645174She is you dimwit. She literally is.
Perfumes need nerfing, end of story.
>>483645162>why retards are retardedi dunno man
so often now when I spawn in elden ring, i get some free runes as if some nearby enemy has died. This never used to happen. What is going on?
I just reached the last bossit's kinda cool I guess but why the fuck is raddan the final boss? what the fuck did I miss? a fucking consort? what the fuck did I miss?
>>483645234No big red Lifebar, Not a boss, just an event.
>>483645258no, the ash of war needs a nerf, perfumes by themselves fucking suck
>>483645216I also had damage negation tailsman - fucking both of them - and crab and 95 vit with the radahn rune. I will admit I suck massive cock but good god the damage still a wins a win.
>>483645189You're delusional if you don't think perfumes and the chicken wing are deserving of a nerf.
Should I respec to 70 faith for the Fire Knight's Greatsword?
>>483645336Miyazaki saw too many posts about BRO IMAGINE IF WE FOUGHT PRIME RADAHN
Cant wait for Marika to be played by a black trans plus sized woman>>>/tv/200544863
>martial art weapons>bloodhound step>comet azureORE WA, VEGITA DA
>>483644909His epic plan involved bewitching Mohg, but he's not really peaceful so they would need to find his fucking place (deep underground, only way to reach there is by literal teleportation with his medal or using a convenient teleporter in the snowfields) and then kill him, which is not an easy feat considering he has his NIHIL move.Radahn would probably be the "easiest" considering you have the festival + he's weakened.Then, you have his "followers", a total of 7 people. And two of them Leda wants to kill, so it's more like 5. Then you have Sir Ansbach, who would also turn into an enemy, so 4 people.>>483645336>what the fuck did I miss?Nothing, it's all new lore.
>dryleaf seal and miquella's crown both don't boost the LIGHT OF MIQUELLA spellhow did this get past testing
>>483644838there's more like 3 areas, forest, township, abyss. And a couple more enemy variantsbut regardless the problem with this dlc is that it's just more of what was already good, but without actually solving the problems of the main game. The dlc is obviously super rushed and literally half the map is unfinished in terms of enemies and item placements. The stuff that is good is good, but they keep making the same mistakes that they've been making since demons souls in regards to the lategame and unfinished content.
>>483637518I don't know if you noticed but messmer is one of the kindest demigods, all the evil snake-man shit was a red herring. He literally did nothing wrong of his own choice and wasn't going around killing people. Marika feared the snake so she tasked him with a genocide and dumped him in the pit.Messmer attacks us because he finds the idea of a tarnished lord to be a horriffic betrayal.
Is there any other good method to chunk furnace golems other than very limited pots?
>>483644838I only compare AotA from a narrative standpoint, game play and content amount wise, SotE blows everything else ever made ever. My point is always to never trust the base game lore because it can easily be flipped on its head in a DLC and Artorias's lore and the retcon of the Covenant Ring should all be a reminder to Miquella fags that this isn't the first time head canons have been destroyed.
>>483645336Lazy fanservice that didn't even manage to land.
farthest ive gotten so fargod i hate this fuck
How the fuck do I calculate the Ash of war damage of some weapons like pic related?I thought it was a Bullet Art, but for some reason the Atk columns are empty while the Motion Value ones have data, which I don't understand since I thought Bullet Arts didn't care about weapon AR?
>>483645408>95 vitfucking kek.out of morbid cuirosity, post stats
>>483645425If you're using FTH weapon buffs on it yes 100%.
>>483645336It's just Miyazaki smashing his action figures together cause he thinks its cool
>>483645460>The evil Goddess is black Yeah, no. It's likelier that Renalla would be Black.
>>483645564nigga...
Ashes + TRC is better than SotE tbqh>Four very solid bosses vs four very solid bosses>DS3 has the best boss out of all of them>DS3's lore doesn't go full retard>DS3 has Twin Ultra Greatswords
Radhan was like finding a turd in the very last bite of a really delicious sandwich.
>>483645530Remember Velka? Remember Londor? Miquellafags don't, apparently.
>>483645590
>>483645564bwo?your vig????EAT A CHEESEBURGER YOU SKINNY FUCK
>>483645564What level/weapon upgrade?
>>483645528Regular Hefty Fire Pots work well. They're cheap to craft.
>>483645674>>483645727>>483645758>>483645758+1/+3
>>483645564you need 50 vigor minimum to be fighting anything like mohg.
It's not fun. It's not fair. It's not worth my time.
>>483645460>>483645659it's just gonna be radahn played by Tyrone
>>483645336You can't be a god without a consort. The fucking turtle pope tells you this and how important Ragaon needed to be brought back to Leyndell to become King Consort after Godfrey got banished.Miquella brought back Radahn's (a Radagon child) soul in Mohg's (the flesh and blood of Godfrey) as his mind controlled consort so he could become a legitimate god with the Gate of Divinity.
>>483644001>So why are we even in the dlcThere is no real reasonLeda is even confused about why we're there in her final dialogue>what did we accomplish?mopping up marika's mess
>>483645189There's a lot of stuff that legitimately deserves a nerf>rolling sparks>swift slash>blind spot (in PVP, it's extremely fun in PVE)>impenetrable thorns>the tracking on some of the new homing projectilesHistorically, Elden Ring has received many more buffs than nerfs, however. There's no reason to be overly concerned.
>>483645685Bloodborne and Dark Souls 2 DLC are far superior as well. The only defense sloplickers have is that Artorias of the Abyss was short.
>>483645564Get 60 VIG dude what the fuck are you doing
>>483645763i have no fucking pots and one pot only takes ff 2k hp which is maybe 10% off its health
I respect that PVP youtubers want to try shit out and post the results (because it's fun to watch)but man does it fucking disgusts me how it results in EVERYONE jumping on whatever is op or meta fucking immediately
>>483645707BLOATMAXXEDshould have done morgott's to be even fatter, I was at 2.7k HP with 60vig iirc
>>483645817challenge run niggers don't get to complain about bosses
>>483645817Call your spirit ash back after the 2nd phase. He won't do shit other than fuck the AI, fucking you in the process.You should have him at 1st phase because once Mohg counts he will do it twice iirc, so it's free DPS. Don't forget your shackle.
>>483645691Miquellafags 9(and Malariakeks) are all GRRM GoT bandwagoners.
i hate this radahn bullshit fighti want to kill this faggot and never do this fight againwhat a pile of shiti hate it, i hate it a lot
>>483645564>dual sword shitter with no healthEvery time. Every time.>>483645528As an int caster a single charged spiral shard does about 8000 damage to their legs. A couple of those and it's staggered.Multihitting piercing attacks take them apart. Dunno if you have something like that.
>>483645910Yeah, it's awful. It's taking a lot of the fun of invading out of it for me. I feel like a civilian caught in a content creation arms race, like I have to rush to actually play before the atom bomb is discovered.
>>483644485Why not just ignore Mohg, Radahn, and Messmer then? He literally can't do anything related to godhood unless you go out of your way to start it by killing all three of them.
>>483645817Why are you trying to go into a DLC tuned for characters at 150+ at fucking level 25? Even if you beat Mohg basic enemies are all going to one shot you.
What?
>>483645910yep, everyone is using the fire knight gs and swift strike in arena now
>>483645601>>483645601I haven't used any yet, what should I use?
>>483646159>>483646159>>483646159
>>483646097This triggers when you progress far enough along any of the various paths around Altus. It means all the NPC quests are now in motion and you should check back with them.
>>483646097Go talk to your frens.
>>483645849It should've been us...what was all the grooming he did for? It's so over.
>>483646061I had to respec to greatshield poke.There is a black street greatshield at fog rift fort that has like 70 holy resist. That did it for me. Good luck.
>>483645691As a Miquellafag I honestly like all the new lore regarding him. But I'm a fujo so it's expected.
>>483645685The Old Hunters was always the superior DLC and it's ending is the only thing it has on SotE.DS3's was ok at best because lorefag fanservice and that's it.DS2 is shit.
>>483641710nanaya biz
>>483646086You cause the events of the dlc to take place by killing radhan and mohg, thus making their corpses and essences available to the twink to use for his God hood plan. That's the premise of the beginning of the dlc.The shadow realm opens after mohg dies because the fag can do his plan.
I remember there were more pictures of this specific Melina, can someone give me the link?
>>483645849>Couldve had a Bloodborne esque ending where you take Gehrmans placeWhat the fuck is Miyazakis problem?
>>483640820>>483640827 Thanks
So the entirety of Caelid got completely destroyed just so Malenia could whisper to Radahn that Miquella is gay?Who fucking defends this shit
i play offline - no chance i was going to stumble upon the route to the Manse, even though I found the room containing it
I am Radahn, consort of Miquella...
>>483646912Quit gooning
>>483647579I'm not actually gooning, I just like this specific design believe it or not, not capping
let me guess, because I got the sauron armor samurai person as a summon I can no longer get the armor?
>>4836388909/10 until Radahn.3/10 after, unironically. Genuinely never found a boss more clunky and retarded in the entire series. Bed of Chaos tier.
>>483645685>DS3 lorethis will always be funny to me because TRC ruins the entire base game. It just says no matter what you do, it's always shit
>>483638890Worst expansion they've ever done. probably take the 3 piece combo from DS2 over it, at least the fire tower and the ice town were sort of neat
>>483637835You are wrong. Read the ash description. She is the first dragon to commune with humans
