How much of the base game lore was catalogue, analysed and fully understood within the first week of the game?
People have barely even woken up to the fact that Metyr is the daughter of the Greater Will and has basically been leading everyone on since her dad fucked off who knows how long ago, definitely long before Marika became a god.

I feel like I really spoiled myself with doing bayle and rellana at skibidi level 4 and 3 respectively
I expected the other bosses to put up a similar challenge but really everything else has been pretty easy
Remind me why people are crying about the difficulty of this DLC again?
Are they just used to summons and ash of war spam carrying them through everything?
That's all I can imagine it is since they're all crying about "muh AoE spam", which is obviously to counter summon ganking.
I'm pretty sure I've only got messmer and radahn to go and even from the time I accidentally stumbled into messmers arena he doesn't seem anything too crazy.
Feel like Bayle is best DLC boss material at this point.

Marika and Messmer plot makes way more sense if you actually went to the past. It wouldn't make the timeline confusing, it wouldn't break anything.
The DLC is definitely 2 merged into one, which is what the shitty writing and disconnected things come from.

what part dont you understand? the hornsent were making the shamans saints, and marika repayed them by literally murdering them all (women and children included), and then stealing their land and kingdom to become a goddess
its the classic historic tale of settler colonialism and the genocide of natives, no different from what israel is doing to palestinians right now

DS3 is the absolute WORST game when it comes to invasions. Fuck man, that game was so frustrating when it came to multiplayer. Absolutely not fun most of the time. Only the 1v1 duels were fun (if people weren't using the most OP swords).

Just been through this area. Hard agree. The atmosphere was neat for about five or ten minutes but then the slog of having both large empty spaces and no torrent to boot just made me want to leave.

There are four (4) formless sacred seals in the game
Erdtree
Golden Order
Frenzied Flame
Dragon Communion

Dragon communion got started by Florissax and we know Placidussax was an Elden Lord.
We also know that the two fingers are Metyr's children, but strangely not the three fingers.
Only Metyr and the Three fingers have fingerprints.
I'm thinking they all come from the same source.

it's funny seeing so many complaints from lorefags arguing that the dlc leaves too many loose plot threads from the base game, when it's fairly obvious that they are just keeping some room for them to work with on the sequel

It is. In the base game if you have a good build you can just facetank and carry the host as long as you maintain the aggro. You can't do this here, specially not when the boss decide to change whoever he's attacking mid combo.

She didn't genocide the dragons, they were the aggressor in the war and they made peace afterwards. Not sure about the Fire Giants other than fear of the Fell God's flame, they coexisted peacefully with humans in the past. On that tangent I think the reason why the Fingers opposed the Carians and astrologers despite the fact that they are star creatures themselves is that they didn't want anyone finding out that they aren't special.

the hellsent were oppressed by the fire giants, and were tormented by the fell god in their dreams. killing the fire giant was absolutely a hornsent thing. it's not touched on a lot in the DLC but the hornsent are as fearful of death as the golden order and tried to hide it away, which is probably how marika managed to rise to power.

The GO were confirmed to have won the war with Godwyn making peace afterwards. I don't think it's confirmed who started but considering Gransax's corpse is still in Leyndell and the dragons were never punished it likely wasn't a defensive war where the Ancient Dragons were losing ground

But considering that Placidussax was Elden lord prior to Godfrey and the depiction of the Elden Ring in Farum Azula is bigger than the new one.
I think some of the Ancient dragons just took issue with Marika plucking the rune of death from the Elden Ring and without a lord to guide them decided to attack these upstart heretics.
But then Godwyn the Golden convinced them to stop with his dick.

Eh, didn't realize the thread was finished, so reposting as I think it's good insight and puts into perspective the new characterization of Marika and the Numen.

>>483764071
>>483764181
I think people had the wrong idea about the Numen in terms of inspiration. They seem to be based not on the Numenoreans (as the TA or a few others suggested in the past) but on Tolkien's Noldor or the Tuatha de Danann (The People or Tribe of the Goddess Danu) of Irish mythology. Tolkien's Noldor (one of the kindred of elves Galadriel being one of them) are strongly based on the Tuatha de Dannan as well.

The Tuatha de Danann were a mysterious tribe of godly people who were crafsman, warriors, druids (of which some druidic practices or activities can be quite shamanic in nature). At some point in their narrative, some of the Tuatha de Dannan are driven underground where they become the Daoine Sith, the people of the mounds, which became known as the faeries of tradition. It's what happens with the numen/nox in Elden Ring, they are also driven underground where they undergo some transformation (culturally and whatnot) from Numen to Nox. The rivers that also cross the Eternal cities are also thematically consistent with this train of thought as the Siofra and Ainsel are both gaelic (Irish) names, one meaning 'Changelling' (a type of faery) and Ainsel 'my own self', which is a gaelic story featuring faeries as well. There's also the tangential lore of the blue dancer sealing the rot god within the Ainsel, who's said to have received a flowing sword from a faery.

The Tuatha de Dannan, much like Marika and Godfrey, also do fight against another powerful race of enemies (the fomorians), who are led by a very powerful god-like enemy, known as Balor of the Evil eye, his evil eye being a representation of the scorching sun that causes drought, land infertility and such adversities to aggriculture or life in general. The one eyed god and its fire is equally anathema to the Erdtree.

>>
>>483769496
There's nothing there. Miyazaki and co wanted to avoid pedo/gay allegations for having Miquella marry the Tarnished, so they aged Miquella up offscreen and made him a fight.

This is why most of the lore feels disingenuous and doesn't fit with the base game. Because they had to find some reason for the kindest and smartest character in the entire setting to not marry the Tarnished he has been grooming before the events of the game.

It is just easy, combined with the fact that it seems the end of Ymir quest is reached near the end of the game so people at least have some fragments unlike the early filters like Lion or Rellana. Cooping the remembrances, hosts die on most bosses more often than not but Metyr usually ends up succesfull.

I don't remember the full details of the reasoning as i've taken from granted there, but what comes to mind right now is that Rogier says that the black knives are scions of the eternal cities, which implies a nobility or upper caste. I think there's bits and pieces scattered pointing to that, Kosmos (loretuber and I think the TA) develops well this reasoning with the info and environmental clues.

I haven't increased my scoobydoo level past 12 yet but given the patch buffed the bonuses at earlier levels it's probably equivalent to like skibidi level 16 or something in the earlier version.

The lore is really cool and I found the arena awe-inspiring and creepy, many of the attacks are a spectacle too but I find Ymir's outfit a total letdown. Was really hoping the collar wasn't attached to the top and the altered version would only work for specific LARP builds.

It's kinda funny how much the DLC BTFO'd Miquellafags. Consider that Miquella is one of the few demigods who we actually kill.

>Godrick: Alive but left a husk after we take his ruin.
>Margit: Same as above
>Ranni: Summons a spirit ash of her mom so we don't ever fight her directly
>Rykard: Knocked out and getting eaten out by his crazy GF
>Malenia: Probably will be alright if Tarnished stayed loyal to Millicent and completed her questline
>Marika/Radagon: Definitely still alive in most endings

So of those, only Mohg, Radahn, and Miquella are directly killed by the Tarnished. Must be a tough time to be a Miquella lover.

I just started playing Dark Souls 3 after about 1300 hours in Elden Ring (my first soulsborne game). I get it now. Summons really do make the game so easy by comparison.
I wish the PC version was better optimized (for instance with windowed full-screen actually working, being able to disable vertical sync in the engine etc..)..

This has inspired me to try a purist playthrough using no magic and no summons. Anything else I should keep in mind for a Dark Souls 3-style playthrough in Elden Ring?

Miquella is actually the most conservative character in the entire game:
>Golden Order doesn't follow it's own principles well enough post-Radagon, so he leaves it and makes his own while doing his part to mend the land from the sins of his forebears.
>Wants to all the Outer Gods interfering with the connection between mankind and the Greater Will to BTFO
>Creates an elven city on top of a world tree, taking in those who were shunned by the Golden Order but who were in ancient times considered divine (such as the horned Misbegotten)

Who fucking knows. Miquella attained Godhood and showed up the moment Radahn returned. Marika grabbed something, lifted up another thing and you had a roar and something happened afterwards, which we don't know what was? But none of this happens with Miquella.
And, if we go by Ranni's ending she turns into a God without doing anything. Good job, blue doll!

>gate is transparent here
>but glows and opens like a portal here
So what the fuck does this thing do? Why do Empyreans need to go through this modern art piece to become gods when Malenia is about to become one by accident, and Marika is one by virtue of being vessel of the Elden Ring.

Is the gate channeling the power of all the corpses in the tower? If so, is one village really enough runes/lifeforce to create a god on the order of Marika? I doubt it or more people would've done it by now.
Is it using Numen ancestry to open a gateway to another world? I could see it, but there's nothing to indicate why this would be useful.
Why are the hornsent obsessed with reaching heaven/the gods if they just worship life as it is in the crucible?

I fucked up the Hornsent quest. For context this is my first run through the DLC and I'm going through it blind When I arrived at Mesmer I didn't see his summon sign. "That's odd", I thought, "but maybe his summon sign is in the arena". I go in the arena and there is a summon sign but it's not his. It's the edgy girl in the night church. I look up the issue and find out that he's not there because I haven't helped Leda or him fight each other. I go to where that's supposed to happen and the summon signs are not there. I look it up and the problem is that I didn't put on a boss mask to talk to him, give him scorpion soup and did not choose to tell Leda to go after Hornsent which is why she's still at the cross talking about going after him in the Black Keep.
Why the fuck do Fromsoft questlines always have to have such obscure ways about them. Is there anyway to fix this or will it fix itself if I kill Mesmer?

made this a few days ago for another anon. remember that the ingame map is actually extremely accurate, much more accurate than it initially seems at first glance and i drew this as such. follow the arrow to the letter.

for the northwest area, you need to get the emote from bonny village O, Mother. use it at the statue found at the base of the Shadow Keep almost immediately before Gaius. You've been there already according to your map, so you should get there easily enough.

For the upper red locations in the SW, it shouldn't be too hard. Go to the big dead dragon grace and jump on his wings towards the pertinent direction and you'll drop down accordingly. I can't tell if you have that grace unlocked or not, but you do seem to have discovered the right building. Go into the dragon tomb next to the Suppressing tower and then take a right at the fork to reach the big dead dragon. Go left at the fork and you'll head towards that very angry looking mountain. It's filled to the brim and overflowing with nigger dragons so bring your anti-dragon Katana with you.

The simple answer is that invasions have progressively become more and more of an afterthought for a variety of reasons (twinks, griefing, emphasis on increasing boss fight difficulty), so From put a lot less effort into coming up with new and interesting multiplayer mechanics. If you want to learn more about them, look up the Dark Souls Dissected series by IllusoryWall.

Miquella achieves godhood, his hat and the remembrance refer to him as a god, but it doesn't mean a fucking thing without him having access to the ring. His next step after becoming a god was to go with radahn to face marika/radagon and claim the elden ring.

Do people not realize that the events taking place with miquella are basically happening at the same time you are exploring the dlc? You are basically right on his heels throughout the whole thing.

I’ve been scouring the internet for ANYBODY noticing this. It seems that not many people pick up on the connection with Godwyn and Miquella, Godwyn is 1000% going to be a major part of the dlc.

We know the shadow realm is a place where death still exists, and Godwyn literally being the prince of death, the first demigod to ever die is no coincidence.

Not to mention I just found a nascent butterfly in deeproot depths near the finger crone, I think Miquella was there personally while on his quest to save both Godwyn and Malenia. What happened at Castle Sol was another example of Miquella trying to save Godwyns soul. Also, creating the haligtree was him maybe trying to create a tree of his own that Godwyns soul could return to, like how souls usually return to the erdtree, and this might’ve worked before mohg stole the cocoon from the haligtree.

Mark my words, we are going to encounter Godwyn in the dlc.

I think he will be essential, but because it's just a reveal trailer they're potentially saving some good Godwyn content for later on. The only reference to Godwyn was indirectly in the DLC synopsis, the part about "Miquella awaits his Promised Lord", which is undoubtedly Godwyn. I think this being the final line of that synopsis was intentional to leave intrigue about Godwyn. My own bonkers theory which im losing hope in overtime as speculation continues is that Messmer is Godwyn's cursed soul. That when Godwyn's soul died, it didn't just die, it went to hell. I have some evidence for it but it's all a bit of a reach and I mostly think it would just be cool narrative wise.

The issue is is that the difference between builds and strats in ER is bonkers. In past Souls games, some builds were of course easier than others, but you didn't have such a vast chasm between low tier and high tier builds. In ER, the high tier flattens bosses so easily you'd think you were cheating, whereas an average build needs spirit ashes and summons if he wants an "average" experience. That isn't to say that RL1 - no dodge - fists runs isn't doable, but it's much more difficult than in the past.

Which grease would be good for cooking meat on? I say holy grease would be nice, rot grease for a nice exotic flavor like the gutter oil that the chinese use.

I liked Freyja. I have a soft spot for warriors that make new enemies just to experience the thrill of fighting a strong opponent.

> Item Name: "Tyrone's Heartbreak Cock Ring"
>Item Description:
>A ring infused with the bitter essence of Tyrone, who reveled in sowing discord and heartache. Those who wear it find their relationships tested and bonds strained, as jealousy and mistrust creep in unbidden.
>Legends say it was forged in the fires of broken promises, a testament to the pain Tyrone inflicted upon others

I wish I was good at the game, because then I might actually be able to have fun. Why is everyone so mad about greatshields? Almost every boss I encounter has a combo that can evaporate my stamina and/or elemental damage that trivializes any shield I bring to the fight.

Story definitely had an interesting bent (about becoming more human), and the steampunk magic setting was unique, but I found the lore to be generally be uninteresting and the English translation to be very awkward.

the crucible isn't a thing or a place, it is/was a living being native to the lands between. the mother of crucibles. the greater will made union with and reproduced with it, giving birth to all the individual crucible aspects like the flower crucible, horn crucible, knot crucible, scale crucible, etc. which were themselves living beings. from here the crucible aspects all reproduced, eventually creating all life in the lands between. crucible aspects are seen as divine because they are living proof of having holy lineage to god.

the numen are not native to the lands between and do not descend from the crucible, they do not have aspects and they cannot bud. this why the hornsent abused them so heavily, seeing them as lesser humans.

something lives behind that gate, and whatever it is divinities must travel there to get turned into a deity of its specific qualities. I'd want to guess the GW is back there, but there is shit we don't know and it could just be fucking metyr.
outer gods don't need this gate because outer gods do their own thing entirely and can use their own systems. it's like asking why a french knight doesn't have to travel to england to get knighted.

People being weirdly big has been a thing in these games forever, does it really need an explanation beyond making it easier for the player to see their movements?
>>
>>483776454
Nah, you actually have agency in AC6 and all the cool shit is happening while you play it instead of everything happening a million years ago

you don't even have to go that far. Radahn will rot to death eventually but absolutely none of them are getting past Mohg and his army. Malenia could but Miquella won't call her for some reason. So without the Tarnished intervening the plan is dead in the water from day one. If it isn't then it just goes lik you said, they all die before they even get to Messmer.

This is one of the big reasons I think there was a last second rewrite, along with the lack of explanation for Miquella riding Torrent and the lack of the Scadutree unveiling cutscene. There's no reason to ever do the DLC in-universe. You accomplished nothing. From doesn't write their stories this way. Prior DLCs always ended with you having done something in-universe that would not have been accomplished had you not done the DLC.

Does the DLC have anything stupid like if I miss talking to an NPC they die and I don't get gear or a spell?

Famitsu did a new survey
https://www.frontlinejp.net/2024/06/28/two-years-in-new-elden-ring-survey-shows-players-fave-weapons-bosses-and-more/

Someone posted the old one a couple of threads ago pointing out how popular Radahn was in the post-release survey but as of this new one Malenia beats Radahn by a huge margin

>Malenia, Blade of Miquella: 697
>Starscourge Radahn: 364

The first survey was done like a month after release so most people hadn't even seen malenia yet, no shit she's more popular once people have seen her

I've been trying to kill Putrescent Knight (on PC) multiple times this evening. I get close (to 1/5 HP) so many times. But I keep fucking up because I'm drunk. Anyone here wanna help me? If so, I'll drop summon sign and password next to the grace.

Where the fuck do you go after finding Freyja

Sober up then dummy

Fire knighs might be replacing crucible knights as the most faggot shit enemies in this game
Terrible design
>just gonna spam delayed fireballs over and over and if you bridge the distance they'll hit you even as I swing at you
Disgusting. Hackzaki at work.

The Dark Souls 3 / Elden Ring mashup playthrough is going well. I'm actually having a lot more fun without summons and spells. Never knew that would be possible.

How do you get out of the final meteor hit? You can't block it and it hits 3 times
>>
>>483779984
Nah you can stunlock the shit out of fire knights, they have zero poise. Crucible Knights are still much much more annoying.

>>483779246
>Surveyees could also comment freely on why they chose their classes:

> “A knight fits the world the most, and I wanted to take a look around with a high vigor knight first before using a mage or wretch.” (20s); “It starts with a shield and high strength, and whether or not you have a 100% physical resistance shield changes a lot of the early game.” “It starts with a bleed weapon and something to draw out enemies.” (30s); “The uchigatana has traditionally been a strong weapon in From games, and I wanted a build with high dexterity and some strength.” (20s); “I heard that the story was about becoming a king, and liked the idea of a prisoner becoming a king.” “I liked the idea of how the character’s position is affected by outside factors, making them stand out.” (30s) “I like the stylish clothes and how it starts with two scimitars.” (10s); “I always start with a dexterity-based character, so I chose Warrior because it had high dexterity. Starting out dual-wielding also contributed.”

> “I chose solely based on the looks.”

Can you post the source/thread link or the reasoning behind it then.

Miquella was gonna bring Malenia back as consort but after he divested his love and compassion he just wanted the strongest, and Radahn beat Malenia.
>>
>>483771915
I really wish it were just a giant mountain of flesh like in the trailer. It would be so much cooler.
