MAY CHAOS TAKE THE WORLD
game is unironically more fun on subsequent playthroughs whenever i decriminalize the usage of spirit ashes and summonsi should stop listening to you didnt beat the game faggots
I dont want to marry Miquella, I want to adopt him.
i NEED mohg to impregnate my bussy
Alright Miguel Zackary I could tolerate, even like, the first ulcerated tree spirit but a second ulcerated tree spirit 150 feet away as the main enemy of the area? Know your fucking limits
man these perfumes are broken
You baka gaijin have fun discussing schizo theories for the next five years.
>>483776562if it took you this long then you 100% deserved to be lied to, retard.
wow you guys weren't kidding, messmer really is the le epic 8 string combo memeevery time I think it's my turn to punish he jumps in the air and does 3 more attacks
>>483769301DMGS is fair though?
first for start cooking your meat in elden ring grease
>>483776562both playing with and without have different kinds of value
How do I go to the floors above mesmer? I can't find the damn lever or the path to that elevator I see outside
my tarnished is covered in bandages because it's sexy
>>483776562Really? My first Radahn mimic kill felt empty compared to soloing him afterwards. I really felt like I had mastered and defeated a God and Lord.
I really wish the Shadow Realm was integrated into the normal game world somehow. There should have been a quest to lift the veil much earlier in the DLC, and lifting the veil restores the realm to the normal world.
>>483776430>>483776562That's just a silly meme at this point, you can disregard those ones.
>>483776562Why listen in the first place?
>>483776697he's really not that bad, wait for the final boss
>>483776725I couldn't even use this fucking thing against these crackhead bosses. Ended up spamming Moonrithyll's AoW against most of them.
>>483776602when i say "i want to fuck mommy marika's milkies" i don't mean i want to fuck my actual mom or some gross shit like that. it's more like saying she's a milf and i enjoy a woman who is "motherly" (kind, caring, generous, nice to me, etc)
I would have spent $40 just on this hat
Which one and why
>>483776656>Forgive me, Gaea...
>>483776754Every copy of the game is personalized
>>483776738ride in the east gate of the caste
Just killed Miquella. What now? Is this it?
>>483776860>leftdoes damage, works normally>rightbugged as all hell and barely functions and half the time does zero damage and the other half does extremely crippled damage
>>483776860Whichever one does more damage, simple as.
How the FUCK does he get away with this every single time?
>>483776730status effects or lightning grease, basically. or if you have something specific then use that specific one (like the new greathammer that benefits from holy buffs).
>>483776909you can get a flower for your hair from trinado the dlc against for the alternate invasion rewards
>>483776846To each his own. If Marika was my mom, I'd fuck her everyday.
>>483776767>1 and 4 entirely different shapes from each other >doesn't take into account the pillar of suppression literally telling you it's the center of the lands betweenI mean it still needs to line up between the divine towers but this shit is just lazy.
>>483776846Nah I want marika to give birth to me and rape me as an adult
>>483776752what armours? i like bandage aesthetics
>>483776909Yup, you can go back to Lands Between and relax, all the competitors are defeated.
>>483777067fextra can help you out, it's pretty obvious
how do i open this door in belurat
>>483777050>>483777015No.Stop that. Get some help.
How the fuck do I not get clipped by Messmer's retarded flying beyblade attack? No matter which way I dodge I always get hit by some part of it
Holy shit, the Dragon Katana completely trivializes Bayle
is int worth leveling purely for magic defense if nothing else offers much anymore?
>>483776860Right one because it's more aesthetic-looking
>>483776827You use it from melee range and it's like double dipping. Hits harder than a fucking Colossal Wep.
Hello sirs, I woke up sweating from a dream where I was told Metyr is Melina and Messmer's father (pic related)How retarded is my theory?
>>483776909NG+ or take a break and play a different game.
>>483777148o-ok
>>483769301>lion's clawThis AOW is garbage though.
>>483777032From doesn't have the same talent for world design that they used to.
>finish radahn>get a sick ass cinematic that drives several plots forward>finish young radahn>p-p-pwease keep your pwomise b-b-big b-b-bro
>>483777270moron
when is it my turn to attack the omen as a greatshield/great spear user
>>483777015>If Marika was my mom, I'd fuck her everydayMarika doesn't want you THOUGH
so why exactly does midra wait sitting in some attic in agonizing pain while refusing to pull the sword out when that shit can turn him into a god whenever? is he fucking retarded?
>>483777187I read the description it after I killed him took me like 1.5hr
>>483776909Watch his flashback
>>483777316Nanaya business
>>483776735Summons can be fun. Just not shit like Mimic and Tiche
>>483777187imagine that.
>>483777370ok, now what?
Any new arcane weapons and arcane related fuckery in the dlc?Been in the middle of bumfucksville with no internet and need to know if my favorite stat got some love.
>>483776827Well I can't use the charged R2 but I did beat the bosses with the classic R1 and comet spam. The only opportunity that I got is through long winded down times. Like going behind Radahn's back during the holy nuclear explosion charge up.
>>483776650I hope they just nerf that retarded ash of war instead of the perfumes themselves.
>>483776697They gave him fuckall tracking, actually rather fair
>>483777258>calls her a crumpet
Be honest; did your Tarnished canonically hold Leda down after the duel and ravish her like a sex-starved beast?
>>483777276>beating Kos gives you a cool cutscene and narrated poem>beating Gael closes out the story of the DLC and the Painter creates a new world with the Dark Soul tm>Beating Gaydahn gives you a gay cutscene telling you something you already know It's so bad and makes the DLC feel like a waste of time, there was no finality to anything
>>483777316You wouldn't get it. You need to be a depressed schizo with a deteriorating mind to understand what he is going through.
>>483777258you've really gotta get off the drugs, anon. and get a job.
>>483777436milfag detected>new arcane weapons and spellsdragon stuff and str/dex hybrid stuff mostly. nothing much was added for pure Arc honestly
>>483777436you get a glove made of skin, and a shitty homemade Mohgwyns spear.
>>483777316He was told to sit there and endure and he did until a tarnished came and started beating him.
>>483777270?
>>483777526Yes, and not just her. My unga bunga STRchad breeds as he pleases.
How the fuck were you supposed to figure out how to get into the Hinterlands?
>>483777552Anon I have a job, how do you think I pay for the drugs
After 50 hours I still dont know if SotE DLC is in the past or the presentIt was obvious with Artorias of the Abyss. Thats why DaS had the better story.
>>483777160No my mom looked a bit like marika's model and her and her friend molested me when I was young I want to relive that.
>>483777668Datamining.
https://youtu.be/f0819Unr-xA?si=lr8viTQxYzPw3EzR&t=50>he slept on backblades
>>483777526no I threw her to the crowd
>>483777573who told him to endure? the 3 fingers? why did he listen?
>>483777668by following the MSQ
>>483777573nanaya sounds like an asshole
>>483776752Your tarnished is Pattadol?
Someone said it earlier. And it's true: getting greedy in Elden Ring is trying for two r1s instead of just one.Fucking ridiculous.
When you watch people who are actually good at the game, you realize shit like the boss constantly attacking or having really long combos or unfair hitboxes are all just bullshit. None of these things are true.
>>483777303You'r dad is morong for not pulling out.>>483777586?
>>483777794No, worse - a woman
>>483777464the perfumes are doing equal and reasonable damage with attacks and the other skill, it's rolling sparks that's broken with the lightning and madness bottles specifically. did a tiny bit of max level pvp and it's a oneshot on anyone with 60 or less vig which is almost everyone. i usually saw around 1600 damage plus an insta madness proc for 100+15% max hp
>>483777668I came across a gesture in Bonny Village, cool whateverThen I get to the statue and there's a dev message right thereThink back to when everyone learned about Radagon is Marika, figured it'd be the same.Also one of the Memory Towers needed the Erudition gesture to access it.Use gesture, viola the statue disappeared.
>>483776602Lmao. I never considered the dlc from the perspective of a step father beating his stepsons for being incestuous homosexuals.
>>483777526He hugged her as she died and didn't pull the sword out until after she perished. He's a gentleman after all.
>>483776851>Miquella used Mohg>So he decides to hide deep underground, for some reason - only way to reach there is by teleportation magic>He's agressive to anyone who disturbs his sleep with MiquellaI genuinely don't think the gang would survive fucking Nihil, Mohg is a demigod powered by an Outer God, if a curse sealed Morgott could beat a young Radahn, imagine an Omen that is 100% willing to spread his giga aids around. The only reason we do is because we have the (ass pull) crystal tear and 14 flasks. (I call it ass pull since nothing happened with Eleonora when she had it. Or when her finger got cut. It's literally an item made to nerf him)Like, you genuinely can't be serious when you look at bosses like the Divine Beast and Rellana and believe that Freyja could solo him, or Leda sould solo her. It's absurd. Those are pretty much raid bosses. Messmer had to kill the Divine Beast himself.>>483777710According to Miyazaki it's in the present.
>>483777694crime? obviously? i've seen what goes on in liberal cities.
>>483777816She does have a really tall nose
>>483776430>learning boss moveset>start to find aggressive openings, how to both evade and deal damage>get eventual staggers to set up for more wake up damage>fun tough fight, ok I am low time to hea...>FUCK YOU >multihit AOE dash areal tracking one shot grab attack into 10 hit combo>space/jump/dodge all of that>ok NOW I will get a heal off>no stamina>1 minute later>I WANT TO FUCKING HEAL FUCK THIS SHIT>heal interrupted by gap close/ranged attack that follows 0.3 seconds after last wombo comboNow I have to waste time just running around for when the stars align of boss using a long recovery attack and me having stamina left to start running/dodging after I finally get the heal off. Literally everything else is fine but this is fucking dogshit, fucking give less flasks but make them heal faster, give me an amulet that cuts healing time in half and make it take 2 slots or some shit this is not hard or fair, it's tedious.
Why does the Tarnished not have anyone lusting after him like the Hunter did? I loved that yandere bitch who was willing to kill Adela if you talked with her too much.
>>483777526i had a spare puppet potion to feed her after i killed her god
>>483777668Mesmer says O Mother and you find a Gesture that is O Mother, and find a big ass statue with a dev message in the same roomplus the base game has like 3 areas to gesture to get past stuff
Which Bayle incantation is better?
>fextralife>403 forbidden accessUh. Okay. What crafting recipe do I need to make Warming Stones?
>>483777668it's not really that complicated if you read all the item descriptions
>>483777258How could Marika have been impregnated by a hornsent during the era of Godfrey as elden lord? By the time big G showed up Marika had already ascended.
>>483778048both suck
>>483777316>>483777573Miyazaki wanted a fire punch reference
>>483777895Watched a ChasetheBro video earlier and he was one shotting people with over 2600 hp. Easy fix would be for it to stop making explosions when it hits a surface instead of concentrating all of them into one point for maximum damage.
>>483778056Nomadic Warrior's Cookbook 19Woodfolk Ruins, Altus
>>483777985It was going to be Miquella, before the rewrite
please post sluts, i want to goon
If people are saying Messmer is "not that bad" compared to the final boss, I'm about to just quit this shit right now. This fight is ass cancer.
>>483776860Power stance them.
>>483778141imo the glitch is the extra particles for those 2 bottles are causing the skill to deal double damage. the other bottles do about half as much which isn't any more than any other strong skill
i like offhand crossbows. Arbalest for normal adventuring, Pulley for status effects on bosses. feels like they're really underrated but i love 'em. just useful to have around, like a ranged R1.
Hey /erg/, I'm on my third run of the DLC and was just wondering if it's legit to just stop at Messmer and not fight Radahn until he gets nerfed. He was fucking ass the first two times.
sekiro tear needs to become a talisman
>>483777985Is Ranni had a working set of reproductive organs she'd would've fucked the tarnished on her Finger's corpse.
>go look around collecting items i missed before finishing the final boss>Find Carian Sovereignty>actually a really strong AoW>does a retarded amount of stagger damage>does a shit tone of damage against rhadanshould I? I feel dirty using it but the wind up i think makes it more balanced but i dont wanna use seomthing thats clearly going to get nerfed a fuck ton in the next patch.
>>483778048The recycled dragonclaw is useful while the recycled greyoll's roar is bugged. Neither are good
Have they figured out if Miquellas rune shattering is timed after you enter the DLC or is in reaction to certain events taking place, because it sounds like it's timed?Maybe i'm just retard hopeful that this god awful dlc ending has some super sekrit ending nobody has found yet and somehow was not datamined.
>>483778240The camera atleast works in the Messmer and Rellana fight. The camera is your biggest enemy in the final fight, plus the fight is visual aids.
>>483778345i find him terribly unfun but why are you asking us for validation, who gives a shit
>barely made it through the DLC on my ARC/FTH dragon communion build>breezing through the DLC currently on character #2 (DEX/FTH Godslayer Greatsword + blackflame/destined death incantations)I know they buffed Skibidi blessings, especially at lower levels, but did they also nerf the early DLC enemies and bosses?
>>483778295Have you tried out the new repeating crossbow yet?
Should I saveedit in an invader build while the gettins are good and suckers are still playing this piss poor excuse of a dlc
>>483778390its when you get close to the black keep
>>483778093>Bayle incantations suck>Messmer incantations suck >Miquella incantations suck>Spiral incantations suckAre there any fucking good incantations at all??
>>483778390It shatters when you approach the shadow keep. That's it.
>>483778380it costs 45 fucking fp, its perfectly balanced>>483778390it shatters when you reach various plot-relevant places, which i believe are: the castle, the cathedral (i.e. the east gate of the castle), and romina's swamp
>>483778469catch flame
Next time for sure
>>483778390it shatters when you approach the shadow keep. timing doesn't matter.
>>483778029M-maybe there's still something to be done with this gesture that no ones found.
>>483778452thats the same thing
>>483778456nah i don't think i've gotten that far, idk where it is. i just got to rellana.
>>483778460Why does every extremely autistic post always accompany a repeating pool of cat images?
>>483778048both are inferior to existing DC incants>Bayle's wing is as slow as dragonmaw but does less damage>Bayle's roar is far worse than Greyoll's Roarwing incant is the less bad of the two
>>483778452%-based damage is just that good.
>>483778469spiral incants are for pvpthe orbital strike and the onion ring are good
is Frozen armament not good at all? I have keen backhands and I love the flexibility switching between Bloodflame, frozen, and lightning. should I just dump keen for cold?
>>483778469The death knight's multiple lightning
>>483778607>nigga named Moonrithyll :skull:
How do I build for Carian Thrusting Shield? Is it INT?>>483778469Miquella's incantation doing 1000 damage is so stupid.>>483778468Source?
>>483777526Gave her a dignified death, than stripped her for her armor.
>>483778562miquella and radahn
>>483778240I haven't fought Romina, Midra, or Radahn yet. But so far everything's been pretty fair aside from the Dancing Lion and of course Gaius
>>483778686chilling mist is a lot better but it's tough to give up blind spot.
>>483778469Is flame serpent not good?
I could've fixed the DLC in one change>introduce a new smithing stone>DLC weapons can only be upgraded with the new smithing stone (levels more somber instead of regular)it's lazy but at least people will feel like getting DLC smithing stones would be rewarding instead of meaningless
>>483778770stripping her corpse nude after besting her in battle...
>>483778797how is gaius unfair? the charge hitbox is a little wide but if you dodge 90 degrees sideways he'll miss
>>483778636>Bear roar is also shitI've just about had enough
Anyone have that "elden ring saved my life" image?
>>483778813another pvp spell to annoy people. or to hit the sunflower in the face when it's wiggling around.
>>483778765pixiv
>>483777526No. I don't fuck pedos.
GETKILLEDGETKILLEDFUCK YOU
>>483778469Wrath From Afar is helpful in PvE, especially for kicking down birds and bats.
>>483778152Much appreciated, anon.
>>483779023>raptor of the mistsuhhhhhhhhhhh based
>but why fingers?
Is 175 a good level to invade in the dlc? Should I go lower/higher?
help me pick a weapon for poison-based pvp with poison flower blooms twice kick
The verdigris set is sexy
Mother Marika, please grant me a summon that may slay me Radahn, whom slays Miquela's bussy every night.
>>483779104can you infuse the serpent fists?
>>483779083yeah. some people are getting up past lv 200 near the end of the dlc.
>>483778993i have and he had a pretty big dick
>>483778083If you want to argue that the timeline doesn't add up in the case of Godfrey, then what affair is Leda speaking of? Why is every hornsent in the game so willing to call Marika a cheating whore?
MIQUELLA THE FOOL! MIQUELLA THE STINKY!
>>483777526He planned on taking her right there in the arena but then a ton of other weirdos showed and kinda killed the mood. Didn't stop him from having his fill of her warm and sweaty body after the fight.
>>483779023>Raptor of the mists>Anon, in the case of your fight against Messmer the Impaler, you did.....................................NOT beat the boss
>>483779071They're not fingers they're just an alien eldritch thing, fingers are just the cloest comparison to their form we have.I want to kow why only the 3 fingers and metyr have a fingerprint and why Metyrs fingerprint is the exact same as the blackflame symbol/ GEQ symbol
Gotta be honest, endgame co-op feels like an ass. Bosses have some absurd amount of HP and without statusfaggery hosts just die all the time.
>>483779164Something tells me Leda doesn't have a big dick.
>>483779196>Why is every hornsent in the game so willing to call Marika a cheating whore?They don't like her.
The FP regen talisman is great for melee shitters like me who only use low-cost skills or medium-cost skills sparingly.
>>483779023>Doesn't even reward you with an incant that summons snakes, it's just another big fireball
>>483779357yeah, instead of nerfing them, they just boofed the fuck out of boss hp so now even my double collosal hammers barely tickle the fuckers, while mr Blood faggot takes chunks off repeatedly.
>>483779473Snake summoning is not part of his incantation routine, he is fire boy.
https://youtu.be/BoaMBxIjSIs?feature=shared
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, drop a summon sign and password next to the grace.
>>483779431It also gives the Darkmoon Greatsword 100% uptime. No flasks or mind investment needed.
>>483778469MAY CHAOS TAKE THE WORLD
>>483779605with a summon, you wont get past 1/2 health
>>483779623>tRanni support excited he doesn't need to expand his mindcomical
>Finally see Miquella>Hes a weird, long, three armed adult??????
Realizing that every single time I read "why is it always weak foe?" it's for a boss that would fit right into Dark Souls
>>483779715It's that much worse with summons?
>>483779682>Uses DLC incantation>Almost dies, deals barely any damage>Uses base game incantation>...
>>483779426I believe 'the strumpet' that the old hag uses is very intentional, why not just "the rotten" or "the meanie"?
>>483779794The purpose of the DLC one is to self-inflict madness within my FP limit
>>483779682>this damage for full mana bar and madnesstruly MIDra's flame.
>>483779808the original meaning of strumpet is just "whore"It's just a generic insult
>>483777415Love summoning my shieldbros to genocide a random village or mob boss.
>>483779743That's why the game's bosses are mostly gay spammers. If it's not literal insane bullshit, it's going to be easy for vets.
Who is Messmer's daddy?
>>483779808"Slut" or "Whore" are default insults for women in positions of power. I think you may be reading too far into this.
>>483779808scrotes always call women they don't like "whore" or "slut"
>2 YEARS talking about Elden Ring Lore>Only now mentions thisWow...impressive! She's a fucking genius!Please also post how you're impressed about snakes being enemies to the Erdtree and talk about the Impaler's catacomb being related to Messmer!
>>483780025cannon imp cannon imp cannon imp
>>483779730I'm not using spells, sorry. I just won't. Only Scholar's Armament on the Clayman Harpoon. Haima Crown, 10 MND 36 STR 70 INT
>>483780151>clayman harpoonfucking based
How the fuck do I get to this thing? I think it's an altar to turn the stonesheathed sword into its light form, but I'm just not sure how to get up there.
can i get some radahn tips?>phase 1>slash, slash, cross movealways hits me on that second slash>gravity cyclone where rocks come out of the groundhaven't dodged it a single time>phase 2>holy damage fucking everywherei have no idea what to do about this. he constantly has AoE holy damage around him anytime i could get a hit in
>"NOOOOOOOOOO WHAT THE FUCK ARE YOU DOING!!!! WE WERE TURNING YOU ALL INTO SAINTS!!! YOU CANT JUST WIPE US OFF THE FACE OF THE WORLD!!!"
>>483780082>elden ring is about just one of its many concepts/themesthis is about as much of a revelation as saying that the game is about incest or emaciated people
>>483779743Yeah everyone calls Romina one of their favorite non-bullshit bosses in the DLC but I immediately saw that "weak foe" message with like 16 appraisals right after it.
>>483780073>>483780051>>483779925then my question remainsWhat affair? What seduction? What betrayal?It seems too easy to brush it off as "they don't like the woman", especially when you know GRM probably wrote Marika's story in the back and he loves to put sex everywhere
>>483780230run across
>>483779743This is literally the "last raven" of the souls series, the only way to spice up this outdated combat is by adding bullshit strings and combos.
Metyr is the gloam eyed queen
>catch flame is the best incantation>glintstone shard and magic glintblade are the best sorceries (besides spellblades)bravo
>>483780232>slash, slash, cross moveBlock it.>gravity cyclone where rocks come out of the groundAssuming you didn't roll the initial gravity pull, sprint and jump away from him. Works 100% of the time.>holy damage fucking everywhereRoll towards/around him. Rolling backwards is not reliable during this phase.
any half decent rune farm early on in the dlc? want to pump up a bunch of weapons to try out
>>483780082It's more broadly about birth and rebirth (as was DS and BB). Among other things ofc.
They can't go any further with spammy movesets without adding deflects by default.
>>483780489still nothing beats waving the frogs at mohgs.
>>483780403>glintstone shard and magic glintblade are the best sorceries (besides spellblades)Thats a weird way to spell "Comet"
>>483779456still around anon? ive got a holy build ready to fuck him up
>>483780316why scrutinize anything in this game when you know none of the meaning is intentionalit's all just slapdash thrown together with a helping of fetish bait and grandiose language, and they're relying on hacks projecting their own meaning onto it while they stand in the corner nodding sagely >>483780586you mean the night comet right>>483780345exactlyeveryone has gotten used to the baseline souls difficulty and now to maintain the reputation of super difficulty they have to resort to bullshit designed to catch people used to souls combat or throw them off, like ridiculous floating jumps or awkwardly long windups and delays that don't make sense
You wish you could be as cringe as me
>>483779071>i'm going to destroy the universe because i can't turn left
Imagine how good some of these bosses would feel to fight if they just made the deflecting tear a new base mechanic.
>>483780317Motherfucker. Invisible fucking bridges. Did i miss some in-game hint at this? Usually with invisible bridges they have some kind of indicator like falling particles hitting them or enemies that can be baited into running out onto the invisible bridge or some kind of like twinkly signposting.
>>483780386>Metyr gave birth to all the finger creepers and the two fingers>Gloam Eyed Queen gave birth to the godskin that are part dragon or snake as they have a serpintine nature and reptile tails (her elden lord was the dragon lord)Different people anon
>>483780623>you mean the night comet rightNight Comet is overhyped trash.Even with 2 staves of loss
>>483780631Keep it up bossman build's cool
elden ring is about colonization and the struggles of PoCs living in a white supremacist society
>great katana moveset>even has a charged r2 cancel like rapiers/curved swordsits everything I wanted and then more
Is your Tarnished handsome/pretty, or does s/he have a mug that would make even Dungeater look like Casonova?
>>483780764WAIT WHAT
>>483780713oh ok, i haven't played mage in a while and last i remember is that carian slicer is bar none the best spell in the gamewhich is funny, to make the best spell essentially just "i cast sword"
>go adventuring>find a typical gaol with pot guys>end up on a hidden ledge with a corpse>it holds Sauron's armorwhat the fuck
>>483780646Light rolling with that tear, oathseeker armor and a Milady is the true way to beat the DLC.
>>483780646I dont understand why they would not after bloodborn and sekiro, it actually legit threw me off that the game did not expect you to perfect parry shit when i started elden ring.
>>483779071Because it's God Hand. Berserk reference.
>>483780082Elden Ring being popular consequentially made a bunch of soulless people act like they care about the game just to get money.It happens in every aspect, regardless if it's PvE or PvP. I would be surprised if she had more than 300 hours in the game. She only cosplays and talks about Elden Ring because it makes her popular, so she can go out there and post her tits for money.Jeenine is stuck in a failure of a youtube channel because it's the only thing he has going for, so he stays in for the money.I think that one guy who made a God Run or whatever of all games (GinoMachino? I think?) also only streams Elden Ring because it's popular, it's not even his favorite game.VaatiVidya reads item descriptions and gets 20k a month for Patreon and is essentially only reading a script that was probably given to him for free.And you just know they will accept everything Fromsoft writes, even if it's obviously bad or a rewrite. "SAVE US VAATIVIDYA, MAKE SENSE OF THE DLC'S ENDING!" Ugh.
where the FUCK is ingons summon sign
Alright, I gave in. I couldn't beat Radahn's hyper anime moves, so turtle mode it was. Literally beat him second try with this stupid shit. Garbage boss.
>>483780458>sprint and jump away from him. Works 100% of the time.holy shit thank you!
If I want to start a magic caster focused character, should I start with Prisoner or Astrologer?
>>483780920inside the boss arena, lmaoHave fun trying to summon him as Bayle buttfucks your face.
How do you avoid Rads final meteor? Blocking it doesn't work.
>>483780623>when you know none of the meaning is intentionalSo you're saying the zanzibart meme is 100% true and there is no hidden story in this game?
>>483780920In the boss room.
>>483780316GRRM's writing is disqualified from me giving a shit about it
>>483780151Based. I like having spells available when going through dungeons, especially since the DMGS beams still struggle with differences in elevation, but I should try that sometime.
>>483780819I hate how pretty Tarnished have become the default. Past Souls games had so much more personality.
>>483780623>everyone has gotten used to the baseline souls difficulty and now to maintain the reputation of super difficulty they have to resort to bullshit designed to catch people used to souls combat or throw them offSo how could they fix this current trend while keeping their next RPG difficult? My insane proposal is to bring back turning speed limit a la King's Field.
He looked so cool atop his boar why does my guy look like shit?
>>483780953prisoner only if you have no interest in pumping arc or faith as an astro, otherwise astrologer is peak for everything else int based
>>483780232Use the Blacksteel greatshield with the pearl talisman, the greatshield talisman, the 2 headed turtle talisman and the bloodfiend's fork. Congrats, Radahn literally cannot damage you with anything but he meteors and you get to kill him with a meme weapon
>Go grab the Dueling Shield>Miquella's Great Rune breaks>Can't summon Freyja anymoreokay
>>483780974>>483780993i know but where in the arena? shits all red and white the contrast is non existent. fucking chinks.
>>483781024>bring back turning speed limit a la King's FieldThey removed turning speed in ac6 lmao, no way.
>>483780680Play online and you'll see 20 messages in midair.>>483780308>I immediately saw that "weak foe" message with like 16 appraisals right after it.Those are at literally every boss.
>>483780621Fuck. I was looking forward to kill him with one of you. I just beat him a minute ago. Any other bosses you could help me with?
>>483781020>hehe le wacky deformed mutant characterDie screaming
>>483780819Second part.
>>483780982just run straight left or right and it will never hit you
>>483781024Honestly the only thing I can think of is to start turning the game into something like DMC in terms of combat. Maybe not the extensive, complicated combos, but faster paced, aerial combat, high damaging combo finishers, etc.I found it kind of silly they just keep escalating boss lethality but keep all the player mechanics the same, just making you have more health and hit harder.
>>483781043You're not riding a boar that's why.
>>483781087Just get (nearly) all the scadutree fragments and steamroll everything.Miquella's rune breaks the moment your get anywhere near the keep.
>>483781062Thanks anon!
>>483781158i have access to every boss, ill be around if you need help
>>483780316If you believe GRRM actually wrote any of this shit you're extremely naive.
>>483781094found it. this dude is fucking awesome.
>>483777258The birthing of Omens is something that can happen spontaneously. Godfrey treats Morgott's corpse with a fatherly affection in the cutscene before his fight starts.Morgott's Great Rune also outright states "This Great Rune is the anchor ring that houses the base, and proves two things: That the Omen King was born of the golden lineage, and that he was indeed the Lord of Leyndell." i.e. a descendant of Godfrey/Marika.
I really really REALLY want to cum on St Trina's sleeping face. fuck,
>>483781217Nexus mods will save me
>RL200 invading sending back to lands betweenso whats the invasion range or is it over?
>>483780986sure seems like it>>483781024maybe they should just acknowledge that their games don't need to keep getting harder and harder, and lean more into making an interesting world with a good solid story and characters instead of pumping everything into making overtuned bosses
Best way to farm Winter Lantern Flies?
>>483779356No, they actually are connected to the real fingers on people's hands. The Greater Will grants five fingered hands to uplift sentient species, like with the Beast-Men.
>>483781295Preach, brother.
>>483781173Rather be looking at a /dsg/ face then yet another generically pretty character like >>483781196
>>483781269Stick around for 10+ minutes. I'll let you know anon.
>>483781213Ah so you have to get ahead of it, thanks anon
>>483780819>>483781020multicolor abominations, unedited presets, and """pretty""" female characters (NOTHING in the character creator is pretty or cute) have always been the worst way to tackle souls character creators
>>483781397will do
Odd to bring back winter lanterns and give them the exact same name as last time.
>>483781276>The God Queen Marika was once a mortal whose people were genocided in a horrifc manner and her rise to power meant her children had the power to fight her battles on her behalf and genocided the hornsets contining the cycle of generational violence until no ones leftNope no themes that are common in georges work here
>>483781020the graphics looking better and your character not hollowing is what made it change
>>483781259the only caveat is if you intend on pumping BOTH str/dex at or over 16, then prisoner is the way to go. astro is peak for dex/int, str/int and int/fth. if you go all in with str/dex/int/fth you go vagabond
>>483780819>>483781196>>483777526All these women look like they lust after godboys.
>>48378152390% of elden ring players are normies who haven't played any other fromsoft games
>>483781523The name is Aging Untouchable
>>483781387This is as generic as pretty character over there.
>>483780316Cut content during a rewrite, please understand...
>>483781295Calm down Thiollier
>>483780928on him now with an honest build. i will succeed where you failed
>>483777154There's a lift that goes there, near the room with the scorpions and bone bow. When you get to the waterfall there's a room with a ladder, go up that ladder, out the door, up the stairs to your right and then take a left.
>>483778452>DLC has special system that inflates player AR sky high to counter the huge hp bars of the enemies and specially bosses>"gee, why does my build centered around % damage effects work so well here?"
I really wanted to like these things, but it feels like hitting enemies with plastic hulk hands.
So far I've fought Rellana, the lion and the Scadutree avatar.Now I'm using Ranni's ass to ponder why the F U C K a giant angry sunflower the highlight of remembrance bosses
i want to do an all bow runare bow fighting mechanics fun?
>>483780920In the boss room and slightly in front and to the left.It will probably be obscured by bloodstains and some assholes putting a message over it Be warned it defaults to no and the boss has two moves it will start the fight with to kill you if you don't act fast after doing it Also why have sport ashes when bosses are now designed to kill a player who attempts to use one after crashing the fog wall
>>483781020Pretty boys/girls have been a think since BB.
>>483781693Making them somber was a big mistake.
>>483780819>>483781196https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Lj0uClVt_ZYwhy are you making webms of some nip's character creation video?
>>483780928>Bro just get good>Bro just use a normal weapon
>>483781072cringe and no
>>483781561I plan on pumping INT while levelling dex exclusively to meet weapon requirements. I'll go with astro then.
>Talk about something bad about Elden Ring or Fromsoft games like a shitty quest ending>What did you expect, lol? First From game?>Talk about Something bad about Elden Ring lore>What did you expect? This is obvious GRRM writing.Now I know why Miyazaki made a game with him. The community is very similar.>>483781620Nuh uh, the DLC is not just Marika's past with Miquella suddenly showing up because Miyazaki doesn't want to make 2 DLCs even though Elden Ring is their free money multiplier.
newfag here, trying to beat malenia before i start the dlc, any tips for killing her with an INT build? most of my spells are worthless against her (technically i can get through the first phase by kiting and spamming night comet for 15 minutes but that's gay as fuck, might as well use a summon at that point) and my wing of astel doesn't do enough damage to fight her head-on. should i respec just for this fight? what should i respec into?
>>483781716>are bow fighting mechanics fun?Fuck no. Ranged weapons are complimentary to melee weapons at absolute best. And using them exclusively would basically require you to cheat from the start just for crafting mats. If you cheated in all bows, talismans for +bows and arrows then maybe you could play through solely with a bow and not kill yourself. But that is the only way you could do it without going insane.
>>483781283this boss fucking sucks. more like jagged mid. igon however is based! more npcs should talk during fights.
>>483781795I'm guessing they don't want to work with Bandai at all even if it means losing money
>>483781789fuck dex, pump Strength. You arent a Katana oving homo, are you? you wanna use your witch wife's Greatsword dont you?
>>483781693i like to run around with them sometimes but man, there's nothing about them that justifies them being a somber
Just got to the Dancing Lion boss, great fight. You know what wasn't great? Exploring the entire Belurat Tower Settlement and getting>Mushroom>Mushroom>Mushroom>Smithing Stone [3]>Somber Smithing Stone [1] What the fuck is a [1] Somber Smithing Stone doing in endgame DLC content? From Software have lost the plot.
>>483781858You are not going to beat the dlc with that way of thinking.
>finally get to Commander Gaius>beat him in 2 attempts...
>>483780928dogcock rapier
>>483781795Miyazaki was baiting a second DLC in the March interview, they're definitely gonna do it now that they smell the money.>>483781912They bought the full rights to the Elden Ring IP from Bandai Namco early this year.
>try using Sekiro tear a few times>there's no cling cling clang, so I don't know if I've done it properly without looking at my stamina, and taking my mind off the fight>some boss (and mob) combos last so long, and start again so quickly that there doesn't seem to be much point to using it over a shield Redpill me on this thing.
>>483781992what way of thinking
>>483781749Cause my browser makes it easy to cut up YT vids.
>>483781858>INT casterthe DLC is going to be a nightmare for you without a summon/spirit ash, every boss is hyper aggressive and does like 15 hit combos and arena wide AoEs.
>>483781858I used an Clayman Harpoon with Ice Spear for my first time beating her. It was good for spamming whenever she aeoniaed. Learning to parry her is also a fun option.
>>483781858Just use summons, unless you use the right builds it's a miserable fight, not difficult, miserable.
why does her voice make my dick so hard
>>483781923>You arent a Katana oving homo, are you?N-no...I had the Moonlight sword's stat reqs backwards in my head.
>>483782081Refusing to use your tools.
The hippo is filtering me
>>483781741thanks for the tip. i agree they keep adding shit that animation locks you to a game that punishes inaction.
>>483781923dmgs only needs 16 str or some shit
>>483781493Is there a way I can summon you at the Abyssal Woods? I haven't checked this area out at all and there might be a boss?
>>483782193summon someone from erg
got the stone sheathed sword but this thing aint giving me a prompt to gimme the new sword, what do?
What the FUCK is the Hornsent's problem? Did he go red mode because I didn't find him and give him the gourmet stew? Is that why he's so fuckin mad?
>Think the Dancing Lion is some crazy beast/hornsent hybrid that the Hornsent worship>It's just 2 dudes in a chinese dragon costumefucking gay. still a cool fight.
>invade>looks like a fight club>as soon as the phantom starts losing the host stabs you in the backevery time
>trigger Messmer's cutscene>haven't done the invasion bits with LedaI swear to fuck if this alt+f4 didn't work
>>483781323Kill shades at Midra's Manse
>>483781716There is a fully automatic repeating crossbow in the DLC, if that sounds fun to you.Perfumer bolts have to be farmed, as far as I know.
>>483782064>>there's no clingThere is a special cling if you perfect guard. >Redpill me on this thingbosses become more fun as the guard counter does enough damage but you still need to learn the timing and how to fight them for it to be effective. Not necessary to beat the DLC but there's a reason why they gift you this thing with the first easy boss.
>game flat out tells you that the Greater Will abandoned the world and doesn't give a fuck and likely never has because the multitude of hints in the base game telling you this weren't explicit enough>still a ton of people treating it as some evil manipulating godHOW. Is it just people parroting Vaati's BS from 2 years ago (which he himself has gone back on) without reading new lore?
Now Gideon's claim that we can't kill a god is wrong two times over
>>483782269no I have to do this myself. It's so fucking big you can't see anything its bullshit. I'm at skibidi 10, stacking 3 defense buffs, fgms and stance break tear. This is nonsense.
>>483781716Ansbarch's longbow is really fun, I used it to clear Enir-Ilim up till the npc mosh pit.It's AoW is really strong and gives a much needed damage spike between doing quick shots while jumping and after rolling.Sadly, the other bows aren't really fit for a pure bow only run.
>>483782375Not new lorem secondary. The first cinematics we ever saw already told us that the Greater Will abandoned the world when the Shattering begun.
>>483782301that aint the right headstone dummy
>>483781772Enjoy not beating the boss
>>483782301You find it there, then turn it into the light sword in another altar, into the darkness sword in ANOTHER altar, back back to stone sword in that one.
>>483782018these needs are all trying to use strike/slash weapons on him and are impressed by his difficultypeople like us actually understand that you have to pierce heavy armor, not smash it
>graceless tarnishedI thought Marika is still guiding us by that point? Why is Messmer so butthurt about us?
dumb question i guess but is it realistic to beat Radahn with Guts greatsword?>does his 5 hit ground slam combo>has his longest recovery time>still can't consistently swing a single r1 without him being able to punish meis it just too slow?
Can you help Leda defeat Hornsent but then also help Ansbach defeat Leda?
>>483781341The Greater Will is a meme, it does not actually have a will beyond shitting out stars and star monsters for the lols. People just attribute cosmic happenstance as intelligent design
I want to make a blood and fire build. Arc+faith. I know I’ll need 60 arc 30’faith to get any kind of spell and weapon damage but I’m a little torn on weapons. Fire knight GS with bleed will be a good start but I’d like something similar but quicker. Bloody slash on the innate faith scaling twin blades? In a similar vein. I want to make a buff build with fire knight GS but can’t get the stats right.
>>483782478His hotbox is retarded as I've seen my spells pass through his model
>>483781716As >>483781889 said, you're gonna need to cheat in items. Ammunition + ammunition crafting mats at the bare minimum, otherwise you're gonna have a very tedious journey.That said, Ansbach's Longbow with the right talismans fucking slaps and is on-par with magic. I hope you know how to aim, though
>>483782478>actually understand that you have to pierce heavy armor, not smash it>The war hammer was a popular weapon in the late medieval period. It became somewhat of a necessity in combat when armor became so strong that swords and axes were no longer able to pierce and ricocheted upon impact.
>poking around to find a bunch of stuff I missed>"oh, so that's how you get to this big bow golem." >take a few steps past it>another dancing lion boss but now its first elemental form is deathblight and it summons 3 or 4 basilisksWhat is Miyazaki's fucking problem?
>>483781923Nta, but I wish they had just made Moonveil's WA a lot slower so I could use it more without feeling guilty. Both the weapon and the weapon art look cool, and I like having it sheathed on my character while two-handing the DMGS. I also wish the gravity katana's hilt looked better, because it also has the cooler moveset.
>start new playthrough as a wretch>decide to try out greataxes>find out the executioner's greataxe is the best>get it>get wildstrikes>shred Margittwtf, this shit is fire. This should tide me over until I get the Marais executioner's sword
>>483782449That's literally what I said, doesn't stop a large number of people treating it like has an active roll in the game
>>483782064There is a special effect for hitting the perfect block.That said, it's meant to be paired up with the two handed talisman, and the curve sword talisman to vastly boost the damage of your guard counters.Pick up the largest 2-handed weapon you have, perfect block everything, and retaliate with a guard counter.
>>483782517I beat him with it just do rolling r1s and he has plenty of openings
>>483782531Yes
>>483782193He's a cunt, watch out for the shockwaves
>>483782598>sword>axe>pierce>nigga even says war hammeryou know what that is, right? right? inb4 you think its a warcraft orc hammer
>Secret Rite Scroll>A scroll made of white tree bark.>Few can decipher the scroll, which describes the secret rite of the divine gateway said to be found at the tower enshrouded by shadow.>"A lord will usher in a god's return, and the lord's soul will require a vessel."Who was Marika's Lord that ushered her in as a God?My headcanon is that Marika used her own body as a vessel for Radagon.
>>483782478I used a hammer and staggered him 3 times in a single fight
>>483782408>skibidi 10Post build. I don't understand how it can be that bad when you've levelled that much.>>483782475>back back to stone sword in that one.Wait you can revert it back to its original form? I migh fuck around with the other two now.
>>483782750Godfrey
>>483782106>Clayman Harpoondidn't know this weapon existed, thanks for the tip anon!>>483782101>>483782107that's a shame, guess i'll keep trying for a while longer and respec to pure DEX if i'm really hardstuck>>483782162i refuse to use tools that are incredibly fucking boring - she has no response to night comet spam, as long as i keep enough range she can literally never hit me with anything other than waterfowl. if i'm going to do something that blatantly cheesy i'd rather just summon because at least co-op is actually fun. plus, it takes a ridiculous amount of time and doesn't work in phase two so it's not a good solution anyway
>>483782590>>483781889>>483782364>>483782419dang i was hoping for some run and gun legolas flipping type stuff
I need to see Leda losing her mind in unhinged, desperate attempts at earning Miqqy's affection.
>>483782750She used the remains of her people that she took from the jars to use as fuel for her ascension

Even at min Arcane and Heavy infused while ignoring the bleed, the chicken leg is cracked. Poor bastard didn't even get to stomp once. Unga boys, we eatin' good this DLC.
>>483782515He's just racist like Morgott
>>483780525They already experiment it with the crystal tear. I wouldn’t be surprise if they add it in the next game
Can any loremaster compare all the cut Miquella content from the base game to what we got in the dlc?
so, are incants and spells in the dlc just meant to do shit damage or are they bugged or something?
>Only the kindness of gold, without Order.Wow Marika you sure made up for all your mistakes.
i love this gameit makes me very happy :>
>>483782748a sword can pierce
what the fuck are the hitboxes on gaius? what the fuck were they thinking?
>>483782863Jumping r1s fire pretty quickly. Light bows have decent rolling attacks, as far as I know, and there's a good selection of weapon arts and bow types.I can see it being fun, but you'd have to look up an optimal path to find all the bows you want.
>>483782563No.Go 30/45.Use the Arcane Somber weapons that already have fire damage like RoB and Eleonora.Those softcap at 50 ARC so they're very good for caster builds.Mohg's Spear is also a bit like that, and while the chicken wing doesn't deal fire damage the R2 sets things on fire.
Why do carian women like genocidal murderhobos so much?
>miquella manipulates the tarnished to kill mogh and radahn>miquella pulls a ranni on mogh and kills his soul>miquella turns his alter ego into a flower and hides her away in a cave defended by knightmiquella is basically a combination of ranni and marika.
>try to coop romina because i figured shed be the easiest to farm soul on>host dies instantly>check status>scadu level 4jesus fucking christ
>>483783013She should've used that kindness on her own children instead of squandering it on dead numen
>>483782061>Miyazaki was baiting a second DLC in the March interview, they're definitely gonna do it now that they smell the money.If he does that I genuinely hate this approach. Specially if he doesn't fix the DLC.You can clearly see in this DLC Miquella was added in just because he had no role in the base game. Literally 90% of the DLC is just Marika's past: Messmer, Shaman Village/Hornsent, Two Fingers lore with Metyr, Belurat. The place where St. Trina is at? That's where the so called "Knight of the Gloam-Eyed Queen" is at. The "central character" of the story shows up in the last boss fight as an enemy. The DLC where you have NPC dialogues in fights, Igon's story starting with him cursing Bayle at the start of Jagged Peak and go even in his fight and the NPC brawl gives Radahn NO dialogue on the fight. Even fucking Midra speak to us when we enter the room.If he announces a 2nd DLC and acts like nothing happened someone should go into his office and bash his head in. Maybe his masochist ass would like it.
>>483783043Talking about the charge?Don't roll, hop on torrent.
>mfw i reached lvl 296>mfw no facei'm just exploring every inch of the map, killing everything in my sight, making no rune to go waste and always retrieving lost runes after deathsthis DLC is nuts, also the amount of shadow runes you can find is insanewhat the hell miyazaki
>>483777436There’s a twinblade with arc scaling that can be infused I think. A bunch of shit spells apparently but they look cool and that’s the only important thing. Someone said the scythe was bad but again. Looks cool. Not arc specifically but blood backhand blades is stupid strong. There’s quite a few weapons with innate faith/arc/int scaling that can be buffed or infused so I reckon there’s probably a bloodflame build out there somewhere. I almost got a vykes lighting thing going with a pure faith build buffing a standard fire knight GS. Damage is lower than normal but again. Looks cool.
>>483782515He is mad that mom does not love him anymore.
>>483782863You an do that to mooks using ansbach's bow, black bow, or any shortbow. It's gonna suck vs bosses, though. You can do a shot while jumping and another one immediately upon landing, as well as after a roll. Doesn't sound like much, but once you get used to it you get to dance around things while pelting them with arrows. The damage just sucks.
>>483783078Miyazaki vastly underestimate how terrible people are at exploring.I remember Outer Wilds filtering a lot of people
>>483783042depends on its shape
>>483782976It's completely different everything changed. There's no reason to compare. There's at least 1 guy that's been spergging about it since launch. >>483783121She did. But only her non h*rnsent or cursed kids aka godwyn the golden
>>483783053INT women simply cannot resist the STR Chad.

>>483782976The flashback uses his cut model and he the lines from his cut ending are used when he charms you.
>>483783223Messmer and Radagon aren't strength chads, no one likes your caveman ass.
>>483783184>no option to tell him that his mother turns into a stone>got jealous because he saw mother is guiding the tarnished Kek mother issues.Morgott didn’t complain
How the fuck do you start the Leda vs Hornsent fightHornsent's fucked off highroad cross but Leda's still there and won't moveI didn't suggest who should be attacked but she naturally goes with Hornsent.
>>483783223but miquella is int/fth
>>483783223>STR ChadRadagon is INT/FTH and Messmer is DEX/FTH lol
>>483782732Do you know if you can do both invasions AGAINST Leda or does one cancel the other?
So uh, why does the DLC have a random ass Moby Dick subplot?
I don't know if I want to invade much after I beat the dlc, but I kept myself at 150 because that was "meta" two years ago.Am I just gimping myself?
>>483782976They made him a lot worse and his motivations are bizarre. There's no reason for Radhan to be his consort when Melenia was his simp, St Trina was a nothingburger, Mohg's body was stolen but for some reason Rhadahn just looks like himself when he should have been Mohg with someone else's ighting style and so on. Everything about the DLC was good except Miquella himself

>>483783121She cared though.Going by the item descriptions, she cared for Messmer. She only disliked Morgott and Mohg because they reminded her of Hornset
I haven't played any souls games besides BB. Is the melee combat in this game really just spam jump attacks? So far that seems to be the most effective strategy for every weapon I've found. I was excited to jump but it seems it just limits how you actually fight.
>>483783449Keep crying, unga bunga, Every time someone points out Radagon and Messmer are faith you're the first one to>b-but muh strength! Ranni doesn't love you
>>483783524Yes. Jumping attacks are as fast as R1s, and do more damage. Anything else is sub-optimal. It's never safe to use R2s or R1 more than once.
>>483783417Obscure foot fetish reference disguised as Moby Dick :^)
>>483782750GEQ, maybe?I forget whether her death was before or after Radagon.
>>483783524Spam jump attack, spam ash of war or abusing status.They added the new Sekiro tear that reward you for perfect block with an increased buff after you successfully blocked an attack. It’s actually a fun way of playing the game if you hate rolling
>>483783417Because CURSE YOU BAAAAYLE
>>483783207losing my fucking mind, i just wanted to do dlc coop, but ive only had hosts getting 1 shot purescent knight was also fucking stupidthe amount of people that died before i even hit the groundmaybe il just go back to the base game to have some fucking func at least then i can carry retards
>STR "chads" are just coping lonely virginsThe jokes write themselves
>>483775231>>483775560Can you post the source/thread link or the reasoning behind it then.
>>483782101Theres a dude on x that's NG+7 no hit every boss as a pure caster.
>>483783053>>483783223>>483783308>>483783365>>483783371>>483783589So what you're saying is FTHchads won again? Ranni loves her FTHhusband
>>483783417The main story sucks and fall flat at the endThey had to compensate by adding unimaginable level of based in one random subplot carried by a random voice actor
>>483783121>seals messmer snake curse or whatever in his eye>can't do the same with the omens, even though morgott does it himself with the sword>can't do the same with the twinsle epic story telling
You need to level strength to use the Fingerprint Shield therefore it's a good stat.
>>483783524the combat is nothing remarkable.
>>483783743Correct, Carian women get wet beyond words for FTHchads. It's the only common denominator.
>>483783680After using that tear for awhile, I feel like this is how the game should have been designed to be played from the start. It's much more fun.
>>483783731I mean, dude's built different, call it skill issue but I dunno if I'd be capable of that.Maybe after hundreds of hours of practice, Ongbal is still the GOAT but how many attempts do you think he does before the finished product?
So, what the fuck does the letter to Freyja even say/implies-to-say?
>fuck Messmer>One of his snakes does this
I'm currently at 60 in for the DMGS. I just got the Carian Sovereignty, should I respec and pump the int up to 80 or does it not scale that well?
>>483782750Godfrey. the hornsent knew of the erdtree faithful so Godfrey must have been around in the badlands at that time being hoarah loux
>>483783524You can dodge with jump attack. When you jump, the lower of half your body hitbox is turned off, so you can jump across sweeping attacks. Examples start 1:35 https://youtu.be/NDhoDThUIHcIt’s satisfying to pull it off
how do you get on top of here? i thought it was with the spiritspring that is sealed acording to the note sold by the chunky autist but i cant find it
>>483783743FTHchads win again, as always.
Scorpion Rivier Catacombs on PC. Who wants to help me? Put down a summon sign next to the grace with multiplayer password "aids1". I'm too drunk to do these dark catacombs by myself.
>>483782661but does it look the best? ask yourself that anon.
>>483783918I translated the Japanese text and came up with this
>>483783947I did not even know those fuckers have an attack like this.
>Moonrithyll>EnsisI like how you can spot the exact moment the name guy decided "Fuck it, it's Friday, time to hit the pub."
>want a healthy stock of arc runes>enter pool>wait several minutes>get summoned>host dies in 15 secondsi forgot how bad people were at this game
PSYCHO CRUSHAAA
>>483783886It’s a good thing that they experiment with it at least. It seems like they will add it in the next game
>>483784121ANCIENT DRAGON MAN
>>483783827>>483784042The recent shitposts made me want to make two pseudo rp runs where my tarnished ends up marrying ranni and marika respectively. I'm guessing go str/faith for ranni and pure str for marika?
>>483784143shield poking, but based
>>483783947wow your tarnished is a total whoreshe didnt even gagdirty slut, probably liked it
What the actual fuck even is this final DLC boss?
So is parrying Radahn just the way to go? Actually pretty surprised they made so many of his attacks just free parries. Hell, most of them you can just eat a hit and parry the next swing if you fuck up
>ranni loves faith chads>marika loves str chadsDexbros...are we incels...should we frenzy flame?
>>483784272i feel like they really wanted you to use a shield for sure
>>483784217Sure
>>483784045I know this area probably isn't too popular. Please give me some company.
Messmer's spear is pretty fucking nuts
>>483781313This is my opinion on the matter, also.Maybe make one or two "fuck you" bosses per game, just so fags can keep their bragging rights. As it is, I don't enjoy the formula in it's current form.
>>483783918>Hey, Miquella is planning to wage a huge war using Radahn to fuck up all the demigods in TLB and take the Ring and usher in a new age where Miquella is god and Radahn is the Lord eternal.>Fuck yeah I'm in.
>moby dick>fire punch any other references in this dlc?>nuts from bek
>>483784378The absolute STATE of dexfags
>>483784060Normally I'd agree with you but it took me like 30 minutes to farm the axe so I'm committed. Besides, wretch goes well with crusty, worn-down shit
>>483784427I couldnt find your summon sign anon!
>>483784030There's a path in here. I also missed it the first time and went searching for a spirit spring.
>>483784378>>483784523Rellana likes DEX/FTH
>>483784591Don't you have to place the sign for you to join me? I'm new to this shit, not sure how it works.
Speaking of the carians, isn't Rya a carian? Do you think she'd have gotten along with pre-mindbreak rennala? What about post mindbreak rennala? Do you think if she's told who she is she'd take a liking to her granddaughter?
>>483784378ARC/FTH gets the dragonsI guess you guys would be Malenia
What does the death knight longhaft axe WA scale off of? dex, fth, or weapon upgrade?
I think finally understood most of DLC story trailer except for this part.What was she doing here?
>>483784667Millicent*Malenia only cares about her gay brother
>>483776730Most of these would just kill you. the sopor grease is probably a great sleeping pill in the lands between though. Now you can actually go comatose with your comatose feeling dinner.
>>483784523Thollier is based, though.
>>483782750This seems to make more sense applying to Miquella and Radahn. Being a lord notwithstanding (or we could understand Radahn as one who seeks Lordship), Radahn is the one whose soul apparently needs a vessel (Moghs body).This feels more like prophecy than a rite per say.
Don't you DARE approach Miquella the Kind.
>going faith>not using her gifti love my wifes wedding present and will use it forever
>>483783184>He is mad that mom does not love him anymore. thisHe is upset that Marika favors the tarnished more than him.
>>483784629Rellana is a completely made up donut steel pulled outta nowhere and she has massive titties
>>483784523>>483784629I MEAN PURE DEX DEX/FTH IS A MUTT BUILD NO STAT MIXING. MY DEXBUILD IS PURE WHERE IS HIS WAIFU >>483784667Millicent likes dexbros? What about nepheli?
>>483784661Fucking idiot retard, the world would be better if people like you had their fingers sliced off.
why cant we convince freyja to fight with us
>>483784661>isn't Rya a carian?No? What the fuck where did you even pick up an idea like that
>>483784676strength my friend
>>483784782Nepheli is a savage from the Bad Lands, a descendant of HOARAH LOUX. She's pure STR.
>>483784676Dex since it's lightning damage and obviously improving weapon makes it better
Are there other endings than Miquella getting killed? I've heard you get different ending if you accepted frenzied flame.
>>483784661>Speaking of the carians, isn't Rya a carian?Rya and the other snakes are not Rykard's kids. They are the kids of the god devouring serpent that ate Rykard.
>set group password erg>laugh at bloodstain in shadow keep church district>die to the exact same shit
>>483783157i went in at 150 and stopped at 200 2/3rds through. i wasn't even boosting soul drops or collecting them much. the whole dlc is one big farming location.
>>483784685betraying the gloam eyed queen
Fav spell?
>>483784763>not having JUST enough int to use it, showing your live to her by studying solely so you can use her gift, poorly, but still use it >not just having it in your hand to make her feel better and just casting incantations constantly
>>483784828She wants endless war
>>483784828She is ashamed of her ugly feet
>>483776562I normally do a summon run and then do a challenge run. This way I don’t feel left out, and I don’t bang my head for several days.
He makes a very compelling argument. Shame he backed the wrong lord.
>>483784828>hardcore follower of radahn>every single other of radahns followers and himself acknowledge nothing better then dying in a glorious battle of honor>noooo radahn wouldnt want thatstupid useless bitch
>>483784828Because fighting against you is the best possible choice for an honorable death, & if she wins she gets to vanguard for Radahn during their conquest.
>>483777526why did this cutie decimate the haligtree knights
what's an actually good poison build?I can't be assed to get millicents prosthesis in a new game to have that plus rotten insignia so I would rather not do another busted EPIC bleed plus other status build...
>>483782748>warhammer
>>483784828Too loyal to Radahn, probably wants to see him again too.
>>483784960and face god damn she ugly lmao
>>483784759AI slop
>>483784828she's a radahnsimp and you're the more glorious fight than helping you
what a fukin spammer
>>483784759I can't beat the shit out of him without getting closer.
>>483784727He's the ultimate simp/incel, but at least he has the brass balls to face down prime Radahn and a living god to make his waifu happy.
>took out Messmer in 2 triesOh come on. Why didn't he have two health bars.
>>483784871No, listen, she's already pure str there's no way she likes strbuilds too. She has to like dex. We can't just have millicent she becomes a flower or dies. Come on man. Let us dexchads have this one. Please.
>heart stolenFUCK OFF
Is abusing Giant Hunt a shitter move? it's a fantastic art of war and is hard carrying me through the subterranean shunning grounds
>>483784759*approaches*
>>483785018hmm i wonder if this weapon was made to pierce
>>483785108Scat level?
>>483785063el marika
>>483785145hahaha look at this new Miquellafag
I can fix her
>>483782794I beat it. I'm 11 now
>most people claim that the early and mid areas of the DLC are awesome and the ending areas are lame>i'm having the exact opposite experience>hated most of the early game, almost considered quitting the game >not because of difficulty or anything, i just genuinely wasn't enjoying the areas and enemies>got to the shadow keep>it became my favorite fromsoft level ever>got to bayle>it became my favorite dragon fight ever>got to putrescent knight, mother of fingers>they feel like normal fair bosses and were a breath of fresh air, reminding me of ds3 days>i actually enjoyed fighting gaius even tho most people are saying he's dogshit>also enjoyed fighting messmer even tho i hated rellana
>let his tarnished get raped by miquellayou're a shitty outer god
>we only start seeing grace in the land of shadow after we kill messmerwhy is marika like this
>>483785017I feel like nothing can beat the Poison Hand, as lame as that weapon is
>>483784871>>483785118Nepheli is quality, she can be shared equally between Strength and Dex camps.
reminder that Miquella wanted Godwyn dead, not revived
>>483785118She might settle for Quality as long as your AR is high enough.
I like to poke things. What's the best pokey weapon pre-DLC that I can focus on through the main game?
>>483785145>spent the entire game trying to figure out what miquellas rune did>he only used the grab 1 fucking timei genuinely didnt know the grab fucking did anything
>>483785118Sorry, warriors like her from tough unforgiving lands only respect strength.
>>483785225i thought it sucked? how's it used?
>>483785182show your build then fag
>>483780819Pretty, but I scruff them up for character.
>>483785282dogcock rapier
>>483785145you're going to get in the fucking cuck chair and watch the twink fuck his beefy half brother and you're going to like it
>>483783975carian sovereignty is overratedjust stick with the darkmoon greatsword
>>483785145>he doesnt know
>>483785196The Hinterlands were kind of disappointing
>>483785219messmer a good boy he dindu. miqqy is trying to become God and marika can't have that
>>483784654I was helping someone just now I hope it was you anon!
>>483785254yeah? because ranni only half killed him and everyone tried reviving his body into twisted abominations for some reason
>>483785118She likes intchads like her father.
>>483785193>>483782794kek don't know how that got mixed up
>>483785219>God, I hope the tarnished doesn’t kill my son>nvm he already did. Let get it over with
>>483785219You can start seeing grace as early as beating the dancing lion.>>483785285It also gives you a unique gesture when you respawn afterwards
>>483785196so you didn't like the early areas but you didn't mention the early bossesbut i get it, frenzy area, ancient ruins and dragon peak are a hell of a lot cooler than green grass, tomb and standard knight tower
>>483784685I still think this is the GEQ in white snake form, I believe she was the vessel of the Elden Ring. My interpretation is that Marika was taking the Elden Ring and experiencing her apotheosis at the Gate. That's also the moment, or thereabout, where the Rune of Death would be plucked out of the Elden Ring, and the Golden Order would start.I'm coming to the theory that all of Marika's successful campaigns in the story that ultimately end on her enemies downfalls earns her curses from the ones she defeated (Giants red hair from the Fell God, Hornsent curse). the GEQ would be no differen and those curses would manifest strongly through her progeny, her children. Melina and Messmer inherited both the Giant's curse through the red hair and the kindling flame, and different aspects of the GEQ's through the base serpent and the affinity with Destined Death.
>>483785341I'm not seeing that on the wiki.
>Radahn grabs me>Squeezes me>I squeal and moan "harder!~">Entire vibe of the fight is awkward now>They dont even want to fight anymoreIts just that easy
>Drank the black honey potion I got from Depressed Dave>Die instantlyUh was I supposed to do that?
>>483785372It wasn't me kek. Put down your summon sign next to the grace and I'll sommon you. Password "aids1".
>>483784743>This feels more like prophecy than a rite per say.Anyone know what the scroll is says in the original japanese?
>>483785443fucking kek he even says it'll kill you
>>483784606yes but that path leads to the southern part where the big dudes with the dogs are, im talking just the part circled in red
>>483785321I think it's the highest tier of poison, plus it gives a damage boost
>>483776430Guys how in the fuck do I beat radahnI first tried the finger monster bitch right before him but I can barely get him to 1/3 of his health. I've seen the super easy to dodge sky nuke move TWICE in like 50 attempts.What am I missing here? Mimic tear? NPC summons?
>>483785459Ive got my down next to the grace, no password though dunno how to do that
>>483785436antspur rapier is the official name but it looks like a canine's penis
>>483785443You're supposed to give it to hosts who summon you.
Malenia is a bad mother
are... are the death knight axes both str/fth? even though dragon cult is dex?
>>483785443No. You were meant to keep it for a quest.
>>483785415i thought belurat was kinda meh, and i didn't enjoy the lion and rellana fightsalso the vast amount of empty space in the beginning area really turned me off, i thought they were trying to sell the game as bigger than it actually was but no, there's a shitton of content
>>483785503Greatshield
>>483785486I thought he meant it would kill me in a good way.
>>483785503He's weak to shield poking with bleed weapons.
So, those bound, headless corpses in front of Midra's Manse.That was the Inquisition's work, of course.But was the bright yellow laser sticking out of their necks the Frenzied Flame, or something the Inquisitors jammed into them?If the former, doesn't that justify the Inquisition?
Did we get any actual confirmation on what the Three Fingers are this DLC? From what we learned about Metyr, I assumed the Three Fingers are just dissident offspring, and are maybe just as much useful idiots as everyone else who follows the frenzied flame. In desperation to actually find an outer presence to commune with, they ended up worshiping a god that's just a mass of eldritch shitfire.
>>483785512>start>multiplayer>Y (xbox) And there you can change it. If you have a PS controller, check the bottom it should say.

>>483785350this, i had a chuckle one shotting some invaders, buts its too fucking slow most of the time, i can guard break a boss with 3 hits and each hit does like 3000, i like using it since its the kinda spell ive wanted since the game released but moonlight GS is better
Did that one anon ever complete the collage of all of us in his one big photo?
>>483785443You can buy more thought it's pretty expensive
>>483785438>miqqy looks disgusted and a little jealous>demands radahn snap you in half>spawn back at the grace>next attempt starts in awkward silence
>>483785438>miquella climbs off of radahn's back and strangles you to death bc he's a yandere shota
>>483784779And what's wrong with that? You gay son?
>>483785583you were supposed to use it to date rape the dragon priestess and then turn her into your bitchno i'm not joking
>>483785629Who is that? They're beautiful.
>>483785569grave plain is pretty much tailor made for the trailer/first impression awe look imo it doesn't really have a lot of substance
>>483785503pick parry or guard. rolling is uber death nightmare mode
>>483777710Its clearly in the present. NPCs like leda talk about how you're the erdtrees envoy or whatever.
>>483785591they look like they're made out of the same stuff the greatsword in midra's head is so that's probably the inquisition's doing
I'm so much of a turbosuperultramega faggot for Miquella it's unreal. I love him!
Is blasphemous blade still good pre-DLC?
>>483785363i kinda liked it for what it was: spectaclei think you're just supposed to look at it and think "wow, pretty", and i did do thatalso the background story about marika is kinda cool
>>483785667That's Sellen?
>>483785490oh, idk.
>>483785745It's shit now. Losing the knockdown made it trash.
>secret area behind the marika statue>3 tree sentinels and a fallingstar beast
>>483785616I'm sorry Millie got fucked over, but you know this isn't what she would have wanted.
>>483782374>>483782712All right, thanks.Guess I need to go hunt for those talismans.
So we're all in agreement that he fucked a dragon or two right?
>>483785656i only take wives of good breeding and renowned reputation, not just any random hoe with a fat rack
>>483783407You can invade her once
>>483785805Huh? That's Sellen, though. The individual in the portrait doesn't have straight hair and the facial structure is completely different.
>>483785856did radogan fuck miquella, and that's why miquella is so fucked in the head
>>483785856Uncle Godwyn is probably the best dude ever.
>>483785842Well shit. What do I use to crutch my way to the DLC quickly?
What's the deal with ayy lmao faces you can find in various places (the one you can see under Godrick castle where Rodgier gets corrupted). As far as I understand it's Godwyn remains, but how can you find them all around the game world?
>>483785935No, it was ranni's fault, she told radahn to give the twins some books to read and radahn accidentally took from her stack of yaoi from the land of reeds. The twins were forever altered since.
>>483785961It still does meaty damage, but if all you care about is being broken just get the lightning perfume bottle and do the glitch.
>>483785889The official game files say that's her, though.
>>483785805stop looking at my teachers feet
>>483785972He's spreading around like cancer as his soulless body is still alive
>>483785972they are failed attempts at reviving godwynhis body can be recreated (albeit crappily) but his soul cannotnot until you restore fia's rune
>>483785321its ash of war causes quick poison and high damage. it's basic moveset is unarmed, but the fists hit quick, so quick poison.dual wielding them with the madding hand gives you fire + poison.
>>483785972It's a sign that the Erdtree roots are corrupted with deathroot. Basically Godwyn's deathroot has spread and shit starts getting weird, like undead.

>>483786131Hey...
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mbdm5M30kFsshould they have made abyssal woods into a true stealth/horror section or just abandoned it alltogether?
Is this a one or the other option or can I ask both?
>>483785972Lad, you have some catching up to do.It all started one day when a stroppy little Empyrean cunt decided she needed to "find herself"......and that's the story of how Ranni gave the world AIDS.
>>483785704So what the FUCK was Nanaya's problem?>gets a failed lord of frenzy killed>takes his flame and spine to make a frenzy torch>finds a new one>hornsent ain't havin any of it in their land>lock up the frenzy>she tells him to endure? to make frenzy more powerful once he eventually pops?>just fucking dies in the libraryIs she just a finger maiden for the 3 fingers or?
>>483786083>He's spreading around like cancer as his soulless body is still alivekind of like soulslikes hmmm interesting
>>483785196Same here. Rellana was just a massive turnoff for me, and she happened to be the first boss I ran into. I really don't like her fight at all, even tho I like pretty much all the other boss fights in the DLC.
>>483786217Ask both and summon him for the fight for even more dialogue.
>>483785972they're spreading anon like roots his soulless body is still alive and growing
>>483786125Every good project has tons of cut content. The best movies, TV shows, games, even many books have stuff that is cut out. It is not rare at all. The main difference is that in FromSoft games, cutting things doesn't ruin the whole product. And often it is by choice, not a matter of time / money.
>>483786204Should have just gone full stealth horror, your reward for after beating Midra is the unaging untouchables losing their immunity and being scared of you, reversing the roles.
>>483786284Got it. Thanks anon.
>>483785543I'm actually quite enjoying the lore bits with Moore. It adds to Malenia's characterization and it's nice to see how the brood feels from their own perspective. It humanizes them a bit.
giant hunt still the best GS ash of war?
So fucking close. FUCK GAYUS. I consider myself skilled just fucking getting that close with a damn 2H weapon. Holy fuck.
>>483786204add another frenzied settlement and two or three frenzy towers for the woods, make the manse a stealth section
>>483786329Not talking about Cut Content bozo. I'm talking about questlines being added months after release.
>>483786248>So what the FUCK was Nanaya's problem?nanaya business
>>483785863>not just any random hoe with a fat rackYou gay nigga. Also she's literally a carian princess, that's good breeding stock.>BUT SHE'S AN OC DONUT REEEEEEDoesn't matter, she's canon
Whoever decided to add a delayed barrage of holy beams after every fucking attack in Radahn's 2nd face can go choke on a dick.
bros......i'm starting to think i'm not good enough to beat radahn
>>483783749It does make you wonder why people don't hire random theater and tv actors more if you can get stuff like Igon
>>483785726The Inquisition stuff landed way better than the Fire Monks stuff, as far as environmental storytelling goes.

>>483778516Rhe 45 fp cost sure but it's also like 95 stance damage and with lvl 10 int w/ then a magic cracked tear, alex shard and +20 scatseed levels I do roughly 6k damage.It's definitely getting patched even if the windup is long and the fp cost is high. Maybe less stagger for sure. I like it but it does feel like cheating then again the final boss 2nd phase is absolute dogshit of a fight and I hope it gets patched out a bit. Yeah I'll respec to use the aow, it's fun for sure and I'll probably use it even if it gets nerfed
>>483786124Rewrite schizos... what does this mean?
>>483786437>faceI'M LOSING MY FUCKING MIND FIGHTING THIS NIGGER AAAAAA
Is Messman just a whiny bitch? Compared to the rest of his family, he has a pretty easy gig and doesn't have to deal with all his dipshit siblings
>>483785863Bro just fuck rellana she's older than you bro she wants your cock she was a weird femcel before she met you please just fuck her she abandoned her life for you she has a moonlit sword she wants to give you she wants to marry you please just give her a chance she can be more than just a loyal servant let her at least try to be
>>483786542I don't speak chinese.
>>483786365>bleed colossal weapon
>>483785464I'd be curious to know about that too. Or perhaps if on a previous build it had a different item description.
>>483786445Just cave in and summon Golem Smith Taylew to kill him for you, don't forget to heal him with Heal From Afar
>>483786514>completely dodges the fucking smash attackfucking how

>>483786116>poisthanks bruh
>>483783048Thanks. I’ve already done the rob and elen build was hoping some of the dlc weapons would let me be a bit spicier. Fire knight GS just looks too good to not use so I’ll just stick to a pure faith pyro for now I suppose. I almost got the buff thing going but the AR was just a little too low for liking. Got to about 1100 AR at 130 with a buffed up fire knight GS and vykes lightning. Shame bloodflame is just a flat boost.
>>483785598helped someone beat that boss hope it was you anon lol
>>483786131Single?
>scadutree avatarhaha what a pushover>AIEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE
>>483786446its because From Software's VA department head was diagnosed with cancer during SotE development and Igon's questline was the only thing he was present for while he was undergoing treatment at St. Luke's down in Chuo city
>>483786750Still not me :(
>>483786329Bro several quests had dead ends at launch and were patched in a month later.The game wasn't even done at launch
So is there anyone who WASN'T trying to fuck this Miquella kid?
is that finger creeper in the cave in the dlc the biggest one yet? it looked bigger than the mountaintop ones.
>>483786773sort ofi am single but im also obsessively in love with a straight man so it feels like we are married
>>483786248>The corners of his mouth are upturned in an almost flirtatious manner.
>>483786834unironically no. his magical power is literally the ability to make anyone want to fuck him
>>483782401More like Gideon the Nothing-knowing
>>483786204Full horror like the oceanic hotel in VTMB.The best part is that it’s going to filter people more than bosses
>Heavy Sword Lance +25>Bloodhound Step>Fingerprint ShieldI won, but at what cost?
>>483783371Still and forever pissed I won’t get a faith+dex scaling seal. Gravel would of been a fine choice but fine, sell it to me. Fire knight GS was fitting but no. No fire lightning samurai for me.

What's the best way to better cover for Milady's weaknesses? Such as low damage/low poise damage? I'm finding that lightning infusion is giving me the best damage, but I haven't tested Heavy or Quality yet. Making it a status stick takes too much damage away. And honestly, I hate to say it, but it feels like Quickstep/BHS makes the weapon 10x more usable by giving it a more seamless roll r1->r2 combo. I was using it with the new Blinkbolt ash but fuck me, why is it literally just a worse Quickstep? What were they thinking?
>>483786845? post pics anon>>483786790ffs ill try again, whats your name so I know who you are
>>483786803sounds like a you problem I'm swagged out
>>483786620What's wrong with that?Oh and FUCK MY LIFE FUCKING HELL I WAS SO CLOSE
>>483786870Hey miquella
so I was trying to play the dlc blind besides npc quests and burned the sealing tree before getting summoned for ansbach/leda. and now their summon signs aren't in the specimen storehouse and he's still there.am I fucked?
>>483783918>Kindly Miquella spoke...of the vow he once made with General Radahn. And...it is here the vow shall be honoured. I am a Redmane. I must know the nature of the vow. After giving Ansbachs letter>From Sir Ansbach, to me? What on earth could it... Oh...? Hmm...? Yes, of course, I see. As the festival of war concluded, General Radahn's soul met an honourable end. But Kindly Miquella wishes to revive it. ...Which is fine by me. I know it would pain old Jerren, but war has always suited General Radahn best. And certainly far more than any honourable death. Endless war to invigorate the soul. As befits General Radahn, the great lion. Ansbach and Freyja quest tells you that Radahn will be stuffed into Mohg
>>483786927You have to put down the summon sign and I have to summon you. What is your name? I still have "aids1" as the password.
>>483786834Yeah, me. I'm too busy trying to have a threesome with Marika and Nepheli.
Okay guys, this is serious, what will happen with Miquella and Radahn when Trump wins again? I dont want to see gay people being killed..im trans btw and main invader
jesus fucking christ im done trying to help people right now>enter rominas room>host instantly gets 1 shot for 800 damage>level 3 scaduil go farm fucking farm godfrey or something
>messmer has good lines and delivery>radahn doesn't talk, miquella barely talks to us>midra calls us foolish and does the zanzibart meme before losing the ability to talk>no other rememberance boss talksI wasn't expecting Godfrey or even Godrick levels of cinema, but would it have killed them for more than one boss to have some personality? A little something from Rellana to flesh out Caria a little more?At least the Miquella fanclub had some good characters and a nice climax. Ansbach is a top 5 NPC for me.
>>483777710You might actually be retarded bro
>>483786908kek
Did Marika shove an iris of occultation into Melina
>>483784194I smiled at Ancient Dragon Man.Such a pure piece of Japan, right there.
Miquella's crosses should've been the DLC's graces, there should've been like 5 more of them, and other graces should've been replaces by stakes of Marika
>>483786870Can I replace him
>>483786803no we won't add the option to change your armor color to at the very least match other metals

>>483786803Still scouring the shadow lands for an unshittified version of the Scaled set
>>483787026I've always found it strange that Radahn's VA is Pip Torrens, who also voiced Varre. Why did they have him also do Radahn, who just does grunts and stuff. I'm sure he's perfectly capable of doing a good voice for Radahn too
>>483787365Nope, the poise changes they did a year ago completely broke the GSGS and they never fixed it. But then gave it to the FKGS for some reason.
>>483787146They do before you fight the head twink in charge
>>483787268anon I dont know where you put in a password, ive just got the finger thats puts me down to be summoned if you're in the area
>>483787056Probably a similar process to what she did with Messmer.
>>483787382not lol its literally worse than regular lion's claw because it deals 40% less stance damage
>>483787026I think Ansbach is my favorite NPC from a Souls game period, what an absolute bro. Makes me like Mohg more just by association.
>>483776430scadufragments make a masasive difference. i found bayle at 6 fragments and he clapped my cheeks. came back and one-shotted him at 18 and it was a breeze. didnd't even remember to equip my fire or lightning resist talismans. he just did ~20% of of my health per hit instead of ~75% and it was a game changer.

>>483787146you never play as the Elden Lord, you get the prompt to start ng+ after getting the end for a reason, if you refuse it's like you're going back in time before sitting on the throne
>>483787254You can still do that, in fact I think it's funnier that way
>>483785616Shut up Shabriri.
>>483787478Press start / options (the menu) then go to multiplayer. Here you can press a button (Y on XBOX controllers) and you'll get a menu where you can use a password.

>>483787621It's one of those times where I wish Miyazaki would stop with this pessimistic "once someone's purpose is concluded, they just fucking die" shtick. Ansbach pledging himself to you like Nepheli does would have been sick.

>>483787753Moore can just decide to never give you the black syrup for literally no reason
Dryleaf Seal does not correctly buff Light of Miquella
>>483787651Other npcs tell you to become elden lord though, you aren't meant to be elden lord yet. But you're the only tarnished capable of it since you killed radahn and mohg minimum beforehand. Vyke was spoken of similarly in lore and he never became lord.
>That one annoying enemy with extremely obnoxious grab attack>From makes sure to put multiple then in the same room at every given opportunityI fucking hate fly people. Messmer should've put them into furnaces alongisde with goatkikes.
>>483787664Taylew is the best one as he keeps pulling aggro ontop of being immensely sturdy, memember to heal him tho with the new DLC incantation
>>483786339That would have been much better, just having them be easily dealt with by parrying is so lame.
any tips for dealing with gank squads as an invader? im half decent at duels and like the idea of invasions (less so with the mechanics that ER has put around it, used to have a blast doing souls invasions). every invasion kind of feels like youre up against:>fingerprint shield man>DMGS spammer>guy eternally circling you for backstab

>>483786927>? post pics anonit's on the outskirts of the finger ruins near the shaman village; you find a cave opening that you drop down into, and there's a massive fingercreeper in it. i don't know if it's bigger than the largest in base, but it's big.
>>483787902Play like the most patient, opportunistic motherfucker on Earth. Understand that everyone is a caster/has ranged shit, and you have to wait your turn. If things aren't going to plan, run the fuck away and reset to neutral. Abuse certain Ashes of War and weapons which are tailor-made to combo people to death because burst damage is what matters in invasions. Might not sound fun but that's what peak performance looks like unfortunately.I myself am thinking a Nanaya Torch + the damnation greatsword seems good in invasions.

>>483788070>>483788048thanks anons, will give that place another pass. i think i wandered into gaius or something and got distracted the first time i went through.
I just want to know how the meeting went to have Radahn again as a boss let alone the final boss.I feel like I've been ripped off a bit.
This DLC made me sad to the point where I want to take a break from Elden Ring after two years playing. Was it really necessary for Miyazaki to false advertise?
>>483787609did it, hope you're svensson
Convince me that Radahn wasn't just a brainwashed husk for Miquella to parade around for the final boss fight
If Marika's village is just some backwater in the middle of the Shadow Realm, that kind of makes Numen less interesting from a story point of view.
I wanna do a summoner playthrough and whenevr possible just support the fuck out of my summons are there any major roadblocks to this? Every bossfight lets you summon ashes right?
>>483788129I meant his dialogue when he dies in the fight, not on summon. I'm fairly certain he has unique dialogue
>>483786365I rot cheesed him, if he's gonna insta ram me at the fog wall I will pay his bullshit back in kind.
>>483788239Makes me sadder to know that this is it, and this DLC is what Elden Ring ends as. Part of me is glad it's over though, they really need to move on to new things.
>>483788286>>483788286>>483788286
>>483788239>two years playingyou really played this game 2 years nonstop? how many hours do you have?
>get Radahn one hit on my first try panic roll and die>Don't even get close my next 20 tries
>>483788278he was still a husk. he lost his mind before he died. the real radahn was a golden order fanboy and wouldn't want to kill his idol godfrey or his father radagon for some gay age of peace. he liked being a warrior.
>>483787970This man has excellent taste.
>>483786365Use the sekiro tear, it makes the fight genuinely fun
>>483788201>this was a common configuration in real medieval warfare btw[citation needed]
>>483788301The Scadutree avatar requires you critical hit him, I'm not sure if the AI is smart enough to do that.
Last area has been nothing but pure cancer.Pure unadulterated cancer created by a shitty DM that thinks he's funnyThat's what Miyazaki has become.
>>483788292Sad forever.
Do I need to summon Ansbach and Thiollier to get their stuff? I'd rather not if I can still get them post-fight anyway.
>>483785592theory I pulled out of my ass: the frenzied flame is metyr's twin, the same design but spindlier, fiery, with a three-pronged tail, and with frenzy instead of a ring for its orb.
>>483788504No
>>483784863>>483784874That's two conflicting answers. So no one knows yet?
>>483788173sorry anon i made bratwursts for the family but didnt get any because i washed the dishes immediately instead and i had to take it out on someone
>>483786365Protip he's designed to fight mounted. All his attacks are easy to dodge on torrent if you know how. The charge you can jump over, and the dogfighting you'll get a feeling for. The projectiles are dodged by running perpendicular and dashing with the right timing. It's all very forgiving, and if you get knocked off he does a specific move designed to rollcatch you if you just spam roll so dont and stay cool and resummonI had tons of fun with this bossb ecause he's actually so well designed for torrent (unlike any other boss you fight on torrent)
>>483785851I think that's the part that soured it for me. Then the cherry on top of the shit sundae is the giant fingercreeper. Lost Izalith quality area
>>483783134anon, they have openly admitted that the DLC is two different DLC smashed together. clearly one DLC was about miquella and the shadow realm, and the other DLC was about metyr and the hornsent, and they just worked with what was finished and found a place for it.
>>483788556Aight, thank you!
>>483784676using the unupgraded one in my inventory it seems to scale off of straight attack rating, which is weird. my fai isnt really high enough to give you a concise answer though
>>483788491You're talking about Enir-Ilim?You don't enjoy 20 enemies + weird Lion Dancer fucker with infinite poise + 2 infinite poise enemies with magic that spawns on your feet? Then a walk with another 5 birds + another lion dancer?
>>483785851>3 tree sentinelsI read a bunch of messages that said that too but I could only find 2 of them. I got the torch one and the shield one then looked all over without finding it, where's the 3rd?
>>483788597what sword did you use
>>483788248That was me. I had no idea there would be a fucking Death Knight at the end of this. Luckily I didn't shit the bed. Those catacombs shared the shit out of me (those floating eyes, big open rooms etc.) I had no idea it was going to be like that.
>>483783918miquella promised radahn endless warfare.
>>483788920i think that was just a typo anon. the 3 is right next to the 2, after all
>>483779682I feel like most of the DLC shit is going to need a buff
>>483786542>>483786124they moved the dialogue, it's all stuff he already says more-or-lessI will say the impact is really fucking good, really showcases how much of a fucking sociopathic lunatic he's become to say all that shit in a monotone while radahn towers over you.
>>483788120yeah im trying to run the poison route but i feel like all the weapons require too much commitment.madness might be a better route to go for.
>>483780819I'd show but I got fuckall ideas where to get good in game pics
>>483785174I was 15.Not sure if high.
>>483789535is your erdtree burned or golden
>>483785254>lord brother>lordYou can't convince me Godwyn wasn't the plan at some point either in game or with fromsoft
>>483775489>>483776851I'm 99% sure that the original plot was that miquella was afraid of us, we were never supposed to be there, the tower was shrouded by him to keep us away while he did the ceremony, messmer was allied with miquella wholeheartedly and knows about us being tarnished lords because of miquella, and his troupe meant nothing to him and were just nobodies searching for him under the effect of the charm. it makes a ton of shit make more sense, and some parts are still there, but they downplayed that aspect significantly.
>>483780819I was so excited to start the game on release day that I just went with default male. Ended up not mattering in the end because I've used full helmets anyway.
>>483788292Shaman is another name for Numen who became Nox after their city sunk
>>483790106the flesh melding is a reference to grafting, hornsent don't have that meme feature. I've been on the 'everyone is made of silver' boat since day 1 and that shit alongside the 'you were given life for this purpose alone' dialogue is just reinforcing it.
>>483785145congrats anonhttps://files.catbox.moe/gqfmok.jpg
>>483787407Doesn't make you skilled chief.
>>483790254>miquella in the cagethis is so backwards its not even funny
>>483787653>bosses I didnt like>>rellana>>messmerAbsolute shit taste.
>>483790618rellana is shit
>>483790659Rellana was my favorite fight of the DLC. Fun as fuck AND amazing music. Sounds like a skill issue on your part.
I feel like how vigorously defend the game and dlc I'm 100% convinced that if soul level was made by the main team it would still be in the game and curse would never be patched to only cut your health in half and would still be setting you to 1 hpI have been told now that the camera in the lion boss is fine and so is the hit box of the retarded fucking boar
>>483782750This only makes sense in DLC contents. There is no implication of Marika needing to swap bodies. Also it seemed like the gates were just greated when she went in.
>>483790760Rellana is fair but her existence is retarded, no cutscene, no lead up, no nothing.
>>483790490The cage is on the tarnished.
Melina is Messmer's younger sister, not his twin. Messmer is specified to be Marika's oldest.
>>483790990It's fucking Dark Souls. The writing has always been trash and just backdrop. The fight is cool and the music is cool, that's all it needs.
>>483791151>Messmer is specified to be Marika's oldestLiterally impossible if he's Radagon's kid. You're making this up. By definition Morgott, Mohg, and Godwyn are all older due to coming from Godfrey.
>>483787653Damn almost completely opposite of me.
>>483791476He's not Radagon's kid retard.He's the reason all her other kids are cursed
>>483791827Messmer is cursed too you fucking retard, and he has red hair like Radagon. Still waiting for a source that he's her eldest child by the way (you don't have one).
>>483790760>if you dislike a boss it must be because it was too hard for youretarded faggots like you is why quality discourse about fromsoft games is fucking dead
>>483792032>Still waiting for a source that he's her eldest child by the waynot that anon but i think he's the oldest because it's strongly implied he was present for marika's earliest genocide with the fire giants. they were all impaled. the penitents or w/e on the mountaintop worship giant impaling spears and fire. messmer uses fire giant technology with the wickermen to conduct the following hornsent purge. snakes are also already seen as traitors in the time of godfrey in the gladiator arenas.
>>483778240I beat him on a pure STR build with the Visage Greatshield, shield talisman, fire resist talisman and a blood-infused lance (it doesnt matter if ur scaling isn't matched well with Blood as long as it's +24 or +25) ,all the other gear i was wearing didnt really matter. The only thing you need to worry about is his command grab, the attack where spears sprout from the ground, and i think his second phase snake form has a command grab i've only seen him do once, but otherwise you can block the big snake bite attacks too
Why didn't they add a DLSS/FSR support with SotE update? AC6 has a good DLSS/FSR integration.
Radahn is legitimately the most retarded boss I've ever seenPeople keep bitching about the fast attacks but it's more than that>teach me over and over that his combo ends on the double head to floor swing with both swords>okay cool! opening!>suddenly another time he has an extra swingYOU CANNOTDEMANDTHAT I LEARN THIS FIGHTAND THEN NOT FUCKING GIVE ME CONSISTENT SHIT TO LEARN
>>483792408I think the snake thing is WHY Messmer is so despised by Marika. The thing that ate Rykard is older than the Golden Order and is the source of that hatred for serpents.
I summoned bigmouth imp for the leda encounter and this stupid little dog basically beat it for me lmao
>>483793446This is a problem that the imitators of FromSoft games suffer from, it's sad that in trying to keep pushing the difficulty envelope From lost sight of what made people like their "difficult" fights to begin with.
>>483787026the npcs always interact with us the most in from games. we just got spoiled in base due to ranni.
>>483793446If Radahn starts that combo by stomping his leg its the 4 hit, otherwise its the 3 hit.
>>483793917I think it's sad that they keep pushing the difficulty envelope to begin with. Nobody liked the early entries in the franchise because they were difficult, they just liked how unforgiving they were and that they required focus. This whole focus on learning 50 attack movesets and split second timings is very off base for what actually made souls games fun.
>>483787758The best part is how Ansbach is all about logic and honor and understands revenge is pointless and is against both things but will do it anyways I'm curious if he's the lone exception to Mogh's followers or if things were different in the past
>>483792032I think he was cursed by the fire giants
>start dlc>did you breathe? >you broke all the questlineswtf?
>>483795526You knew what you were playing.
>tfw just doing worse and worse on RadahnThis boss is soul crushing. There's no improvement or light at the end of the tunnel or anything whatsoeverNo openings, no consisting dodging. Just bullshitSummoning does nothing because I'm pretty sure he's harcoded to heavily ignore it so at best it's a bit of extra damage.
>>483801219Maybe you'd feel better if you stop being so negative all the time and just tried to be a little bit more determined. Otherwise, feel free to go crawl into a ditch and die somewhere.
