The lore behind bayle is cool, the character igon, the setting and buildup (dragon corpses litering the zone). Overall it's a boss with a ton of environmental storytelling, a very cool quest, and also base game lore (he's the reason placidusax is all fucked up).

he was jelly of Placidick's Elden Lord title, he went against him, they wounded each other and Bayle escaped

It completely trivializes the Radahn fight if you pair it with a great shield, you can poke him and shield at the same time in the middle of his combo strings. She literally just turtled the whole fight and was able to beat it like that despite being a MASSIVE shitter.

>>483822986
its weird because i felt the opposite in the base game lol.
>>
>>483822681
Miquella had the messiah complex, and he wanted to bring salvation through self-sacrifice. However, the process of sacrifice is gradual, and it goes wrong when he abandons his love. How can you hope to save the world, when you have no compassion?

agree

I have no problem with Miquella though as far as "woke shit" goes, its not, he's a rebis, its all alchemy metaphors not "black man fucks your wife" like you know tv on average these days, carnival row comes to mind just had to get that arc in there didn't they. and american gods, and a whole bunch of other shit I forget, I prefer anime and god help me they're doing the same thing to that now too.

They aren't. Drakes have 4 legs and the wings are part of the arm.
Dragons have 2 legs 2 arms and 2 wings emerging from the back.

he felt like he has to do this in order to cleanse himself from his mother's sins, but its not like he isnt conflicted, right before abandoning his love he abandons his doubts, he is dissasembling himself because he sees it as a necessary step.

Here's a non-coomer Marika post: Marika = America, and this explains what the fuck is going on with Empyreans.

So, the point of the points in SotE is to take a shaman base (who are all female btw) and fuse them with the flesh of other people. They are, literally, melting pots of culture. From those fused forms, divinity emerges. That's why you can have other empyreans, because there are other ways to fuse flesh (the grafting, Rykard's bullshit, merging of blood with Mohg). It's also why so many of her children end up weird, especially those with Radagon - they're just the other things that have been shoved in the pot with Marika and Radagon, reborn from her womb.

The entire thing is an analysis of how Marika (aka America) rebelled against the tyranny it faced but then proceeded to follow the exact same colonial policies at a later point - and also an analysis of what happens to forcefully integrated cultures - they repeat the process. Every one of Marika's children that we see is either a colonizer or subservient to one: Radahn took Caelid, Rykard colonized Gelmir, and we intervene in the midst of Miquella colonizing the shadowlands.

Marika being worshipped like a god despite being subservient to some greater entity (that isn't even around) is reflective of the American population's adoration of its country despite mostly being nominally Christian - and being part of a state that reflects almost no real Christian values on a geopolitical level. The seduction theme employed refers to how America will step in to other country's conflicts, woo them, and then exploit the civil war for resources.

I want to use ansbach spell despite how shit it is. I want to use some fire spells and red lightning spells and have a fire bleed weapon.
30 faith for all the goodies and 60 arc for the spells and weapons. Fire knight GS with blood infusion and something quick to back it up.

all the infusions do some combination of "reduce base physical damage by %, potentially introduce split damage, reduce/increase scalings of individual attributes"

a lot of them aren't intuitive. adding a cold infusion actually increases the STR and DEX scaling of dryleaf arts, and it also adds intelligence scaling. so it gets a lot more damage when you heavily invest in those 3 attributes.

Honest question what's the point of what we're doing in the dlc

If the guy's kind alter ego sitting in the same place he abandoned his ability to love and be kind is telling you he fucked up and you should kill him, you should probably kill him. It's rather simple.

>Use my NG+3 character for a DLC run.
>Beat the whole game again + DLC with the original character I beat it with, using DLC equipment
>Make a fresh character and have someone drop me some DLC weapons so I can use them in the NG basegame + DLC after

I'm not sure what option to go with. How much harder does the base game get on NG+1? I don't remember, is it a complete snoozefest outside of Malenia probably?

I have one question. If I get out from the keep through the left side (elevator once you reach the library) to get the fragments on the ruins before the bug lady boss can I break any questlines?

Here's my evidence: Radahn kept fighting and didn't agree to be his consort, and now he gets turned into it and doesn't have anything to say. If he was willing to go along with Miquella there'd be no reason for him to resist Malenia after speaking of the "vow."

Dont know if you remember this, but Malenia is inherently loyal to miquella. The reason Radahn is fucking insane in the base game is because Malenia literally went full schizo rot mode on radahn and made him insane.

Why would Miquella make his sister try to kill radahn? So he could kidnap his soul and mind rape him in the shadow realm.

Tried to fight flaciddudesacks for tile of Elden lord, badly wounded eachother and flew off to his peak to raise his drake offspring brood.

Placidusax, being left badly injured and weakened also lost his claim as Elden lord, pretty much causing everything that went wrong in the world after the age of dragons

If an enemy like that isn't countered by straight swords they are too durable for what they do and the prevalence they have.
>>
>>483826795
that theory makes zero sense.
>>
>>483823182
No. The sword lance, despite having "sword" in the name and a blade along its length, does not have any slashing attacks. Instead of the amazing HTS running R2, it gets the fucking awful greatspear running R2. It doesn't even get the greatspear crouching R1, which is a slash - it gets the useless upward thrust of the HTS. It really has no distinguishing characteristics, as far as I can tell.

If you hear anyone telling you that the sword lance is "actually cracked", you can be certain that they're just a brain dead shieldpoker who is comparing its damage to poking things to death with a blood-infused antspur rapier.

If I am gonna wield two bloodfiend arms, does that mean I can deal over 400 bleed points in a single jump attack?

The only thing it has going for it is the inherent unique art being flashy and the fact you can slot something else when you want to do work with it. Unfortunately you probably have three weapons that could do said work better already.
>>
>>483826621
Genuinely baffling
>>
So lorewise, would it be fair to say the only reason you killed radahn and mohg was because Miquella brainfucked you into doing it so he can fulfill his plan?
>>
>>483827118
All you retards keep calling him PRIME radahn when it's very clearly CONSORT Radahn, aka BIG GAY HUSBAND Radahn

>>483827408
No, powerstance applies a 0.66 multiplier to status. It's more bleed than a single one but not much.
>>
>>483827408
No, the insane blood build up comes from the charged heavy AFAIK

It doesn't have innate bleed. The effect is on the R2. All you'd get is 2 colossals with S ARC scaling.

>>483825789

There's a reason it only requires two demigods dead and not the elden beast. If it were set after the base game radabeast would be required too. But they aren't.
>>
>>483827530
>It's cool and all, but can't you put it on anything capable of thrusting?
I'm not able to load the game up and check right now but IIRC it's not an ash slotted in the weapon, it's inherent so you can't unslot it and use it elsewhere.

not him but radahn does move like a puppet in the fight, does not speak a word and in the phase transition cutscene when miq rides him and raises his right arm to the sky radahn's body reacts to it kind of like a string puppet too
majority of lore in souls games comes from contextual shit like this, unless you want to go back and dismiss the fact that sif remembers you when you fight her if you did the dlc first or some other examples that escape my mind at this moment

You're the retard for thinking that bleed build-up from infusion has anything to do with the specific weapon you're infusing. It's based on weapon class, with a few exceptions like warped axe. You might as well be infusing the giant crusher with bleed.

Bro I am not carrying around multiple weapons I don't want to use. I am not seething about being unable to deal with them, I killed all of them and beat the DLC already. They just shouldn't have so much health and poise. No other enemy type that is so prolifically used is as annoying as them. They're just obnoxious when they would have felt like a great enemy with lower health.

How would that fit in with the fight before Miquella walks through the gate?
>>
>>483827716
The Tarnished is canonically a power hungry murderhobo who likes pretty women. Miquella presented himself as a rival, so we went to deal with him.
Leda was initially charmed by us (somehow), but she eventually had to fight us because we were going to murder her faggot of a god.
>>
>>483827729
It's not a unique skill, you can unslot it and apply it to other weapons. It's like how the backhand blades come with blind spot. So in other words, the sword spear has no redeeming qualities whatsoever.

all the way until you get to that point you can reasonably be seen as working together, but by ascending up there you're clearly trying to stop Miquella. You would be there for no other reason. Seems pretty obvious to me why she'd stop you.

I won't even blame all trannies for this one because it's only the lowest IQ trannies imaginable who think god characters with masculine and feminine forms in media have anything to do with tranny stuff, you could make a better argument for Ranni being trans (cast aside her body because of the expectations associated with it) than you could for Marika or Miquella. Don't get me wrong it's retarded to think Ranni is a tranny but less retarded than thinking Miquella or Marika is a tranny. They're inspired by real life ancient gods like Ardhanarishvara, same with Vivec from Morrowind who troons also try to claim

Marika's entire goal is to free herself and ensure we marry and have sex. That's it. Those are her main motivations. It's why she can point us along ranni's quest. But miquella? He's already married so tarnished can't marry and sleep with him therefore he needs to die, as mommy marika wills it. Why do we kill messmer?

And rykard is blonde. Meaning radagon was blonde at some point and was cursed(since he's part of marika) or he's part of marika.

no, the emotional state of an individual is very important. he known that radahn has a normal emotional range but was brought up in a warrior culture.

if he rejected miquella prior, the situation this time is far worse for miqualla's desirability. unless radahn has is own ulterior motive and will get back at miquella at a later date.

for miquella and his emotional state, treat him as a primary psychopath.

Yea, but Miquella isn't a king. He's a god, and Radahn isn't supposed to be his consort, he's supposed to be his chosen king.

Pretty much. It's really pretty fucking sad to see how diluted and entitled the playerbase of these games have gotten over time with more and more casuals jumping into it (deeming casual as anyone who does not try to engage with and learn the game and expects everything handed to them with no effort on their part).
I still remember my first time picking up demons souls and not having any internet access to access half of the information you can now for these games and going in totally blind not knowing anything about it (just thought it looked neat on the shelf).
Didn't have any choice but to just git gud and experiment and find things out for yourself with trial and error.
Now all these entitled twats have shitloads of information and possible ways to reduce the difficulty built into the game already and they just rapidly resort to whinging and beggining and moaning for fromsoft to come wipe their arse for them.

Radahn was raised fatherless due to Radagon cutting and running, pretty much leaving his mother comatose. His helmet shows how hard he's trying to win back Radogon's approval, not knowing Radogon was just a plot by Marika to destroy his family

He was so desparate for a strong male father figure he even adopted the lion motif, which belonged to Godfrey, his step mum's ex husband

Yeah, they might well be off-shoots of Marika. Melina in particular was very curious about the fact Boc was born of a mother and the different way he behaves because of that, from her perspective. It strongly implies she wasn't born in the common way we understand.

There's also a fun fact about Melina's name (specially now with information from the Shaman village). Her name is originally greek and is derived from the same root that gives the name to the Meliae, which are the nymphs or dryads of the Ash tree in greek myth. Yggdrasil in Norse myth is also told to be an Ash tree.

There is this early concept art of Marika shattering the Elden Ring, and she looks very dryad-like as she's fused with the Erdtree. So off-shooting progeny like trees is a real process with Marika or Malenia.

I don't understand the shadowlands. If they're just a place that was hidden to conceal the origins of Marika and her divinity, why does it also seem to function as a faux afterlife of sorts? Why does Miquella have another body to the one in the cocoon and why is it the only way of getting there? Why hasn't Messmer annihilated Belurat and the hornsent entirely if he's had presumably at least a few centuries waging war against them?

We don't know when Radagon left, and also claiming it was about detroying the Carians isn't necessarily true. Radagon might have legitimately wanted to marry and the lore we have implies that's the case. The GW (or I guess Metyr going schizo given the new revelations) later demanded that instead Radagon re-unite with Marika, probably because Marika was getting uppity and needed to be controlled.

No. The original post simply created a strawman that doesn't exist because he doesn't want to acknowledge boss design in this DLC is absolutely fucking abysmal at a gameplay level.
The bosses are bad. It has nothing to do with "learning them". It has nothing to do with "muh viglets" or "muh ashes" or "muh mages" or any other excuse you might want to give From
The bosses are bad. It's really that fucking simple.

Malenia is hands down the hardest boss to actually learn because to learn evading waterfowl dance consistently is the most annoying task the game asks of you and you can't just hide behind a greatshield and poke her through it.

Every boss suffers from this except the two I mentioned, one way or another.
Also reminder the scadu fragment scaling and its impact on boss health and damage is counted in the boss design. The fact their health and damage is overblown to compensate for the existence of scadu fragments is part of the issue. Otherwise I'd throw Rellana in there, and maybe Divine Beast if not for the camera but then again bad camera is just an accepted failure of From games at this point.
Anyway also your last (you). Please stop putting so much of your self worth in the fact you can beat these shitty bosses and you'll then realize how bad they are. And go play a good game like I dunno, Armored Core.

They weren't possessed, they were cursed. Possession is Shabriri body snatching.
Also Ranni was completely normal, she was just diddled by some hag who was a moon schizo and fed her ideas while shoving things inside her.
Melina is the only one we don't really know much about in terms of outer god curse or meddling other than having a gloam eye sealed away in non frenzy endings

Oh, sorry. He shows up in the last fight. Thank you for proving me wrong.
Ignore that 90% of the spots in the game are related to Marika and the only thing you have related to Miquella are NPCs standing still talking.
Or the fact that the point where you find St Trina, the Putrescent Knight is literally called "Knight of the Gloam-Eyed Queen" showing even more that the focus was 100% in Marika's past and NOT Miquella, who was added in later on VERY sloppily.

Just read the item descriptions. You can see Ranni's hair and Radahn's helmet mentions HIS red hair that he inherited from Radagon. Meanwhile, in the Gelmir set, the red hair only mentions the fact it's related to his father and doesn't mention Rykard's hair.

On the Cerulean Coast, before the Stone Coffin Fissure, there is a Cross that says Miquella also abandoned his 'Fear and Vacillation'. It's heavily implied that St Trina was actively warning Miquella not to ascend to godhood as he either would not be the same as a god or his Age of Compassion is doomed to fail. He then discarded her, and states that in doing so he abandons his Love.

Messmer's hurtboxes are not that bad and his attacks are well telegraphed with a solid rhythm that you can actually get in quick attacks through with lighter weapons. In as objective an analyzation as I have in me he is a very well designed boss. The huge snakes everywhere move is a bit chaotic to see what's going on and a bit of a gotcha because of that to some degree, but it isn't quite an instant kill like some other shit can be and that's the only flaw I could agree to with him.

Given the plot, it's absolutely superfluous to have us fight Mohg in Radahn with Miquella piggyback riding. It genuinely comes across as something that was thought of as a compromise to release the DLC on estimated time regardless of how it was received. Because everybody who looks at the lore pretty much universally agrees that all the plot points leading up to it are very jumbled and make very little sense.

I don't see the problem. Blocking is looked down on by some but the way I see it:
> small shieds are only good for parries
> medium shields aren't OP, the stamina damage and chip damage actually require resource management
> greatshields force you into strength build (or very high level build) and one-handing, which sacrifices some fun.
Maybe normies will actually improve if they block a bit and use guard counters.
I think it's certainly more fun than solving everything with Taker's flame which was the previous pve meta for clueless people.
Also new strats will be found, even if it takes long as with elden stars

REMINDER

To thank this absolute chad with which From started to punish panic chuggers who expect to get free heals after they made a mistake.

This absolute unit caused so much seethe in the general when he made his debut back then and hard filtered people like no tomorrow with the officially lowest number of successful runs against him by %.

His legacy has carried on and to this day sloppy sippers are being punished and crying about it while refusing to learn their lesson.

Midra is Marika's father. His name starts with M and ends in A, which in this game, similar names are used to show lineage

Nanaya( shown here smiling and pregnant) is Marika's mother and a maiden of the three fingers, possessed by Shabriri, who has shown himself capable of possessing bodies of those close to the person they're trying to influence

3 fingers planned everything right from the start and caused all this suffering, knowing an Elden lord would eventually come and possibly become the Lord of frenzy flame

How to git gud at parrying in Elden Ring? I've played Sekiro last year and really enjoyed it (probably even more than Elden Ring), so I decided to try and focus on guard-countering / parrying while playing DLC. However, while guarding + counter works rather nice, I can't seem to land consecutive parries at all, even with golden parry. Also yes, I'm aware, some bosses/big enemies are unparryable, I'm talking about the ones I should be able to parry if I weren't a shitter

So, it happened AFTER Malenia was born, since Romina acts like their mother after Malenia abandoned them?
My problem with this is that you have so much time and so many characters were already born yet they act as if Messmer got sealed away early on. As if the Shadow Realm never existed in the first place.

>MIquella gets kidnapped
What? This happened after the shattering. Miquella goes and does a bunch of stuff to try and restore Godwyn's soul and all. His disappearance is recent and as far as I'm aware always presumed to happen while Malenia went out for Radahn. Messmer was sealed away early on, prior to the shattering. What about this doesn't track? They're all immortal, most of them have been around for a long time. It's entirely possible Miquella and Malenia never met Messmer, but we know he met other demigods and we know that M&M met with Marika's other children too.

Also, specifically to Romina, that isn't saying the butterflies are from Malenia/the Goddess of Rot. It's saying they are as her butterflies. They could well be a source of rot from before her in the first place, tended to by Romina, as there is no master for them in the Shadowlands like there is outside of it.

After using the throwing dagger I had a bad feeling about the weapon class, but ma the claw of night are amazing. Fucking love fan knives for fucking around but now they’re a legitimate weapon that deals really fucking good damage. Somewhat wish the light attacks were also throwing attacks but having a bit of melee is nice as well. It also has a rapier style back step cancel on it’s charged heavies which is stylish.

Not really?
In the base game there is pretty frequently items of import in the areas and if you come across things such as smithing stones it is still useful as you are upgrading and progressing.
The DLC on the other hand is the same empty open spaces with nothing but some crafting materials nobody cares about or some shitty low level smithing stones which also dont matter since the majority of people will have the bell bearing for those by now.
I've spent so much time in the DLC just running around searching for stuff and finding absolutely fuck all because there is nothing of import there, it's just a massive amount of bloat and it would be improved significantly if cut down.
The base game had bloat as well but it wasn't this bad to play through.

You don't need to worry about stat scaling until the weapon is like +16 and you're higher level. Level vigor if you don't know what you need and put points into whatever you need to use the gear you want.

Oh, I'm not that anon who you replied to. Still give me a good reason not to give him more targets when other dragons have them. There isn't one. It's just stupid.

The problem is that there is nothing worth looting in the areas. Shit like Cerulean only gives you shitty loot that you can buy in the main game or don't need.

Same experience, except I forked over for a month because I want to try invading again.
Now, literally every message is
>Liar ahead
then sometimes, but not always
>Hidden path ahead
Or, almost without fail, one of the following
>need healing, therefore praise the message!
>try finger, but whole
>I want to go home...and edge!
>Fort, night!
One plus side of the seamless co-op is that it should filter this faggotry into a separate server, or whatever.

my biggest complaint about INT/FTH caster build is literally just the archaic menu for spells
you have to press a button like 6 times to select the spell you wanna cast during a boss fight, while the boss is spamming 339128 skills in your general direction
it feels so outdated but they refuse to change it
i'm always limited to having only 2 or 3 spells equipped because of this

You didn't learn his moveset then.
The moveset encourages hitting his head on all but one or two attacks where it is better to dodge into him and then go hit his leg before moving back to his head.
He's the exact same as midir in that they specifically made him so that you WANT to be in front of him and hitting his head.

Assuming this is the final content we're going to get ever of Elden Ring, it is a fitting finale, for me at least. Everything was established before hand, this is why it worked for me. From the familiar face, to musical callback, and most of all the presentation it all serves the climax in a great way.
In the base game from start to finish you hear about Radagon and how he was a mysterious but very important figure, and then you fight him, even though up until then you had no idea of what his role was going to be at the end.
Doing the same thing in the DLC (aka fighting someone you never met) would've been redundant. I understand why they did it and enjoyed it. Maybe you can call it lazy fanservice, but the way they've done it worked great, especially since it's the very end of Elden Ring. The utter lack of Melina and additionnal NPC dialogue for the base game is a fucking travesty however

REWARDING EXPLORATION BROTHER
Really though if they just condensed the DLC it would be far superior.
Also the quantity of cliffs and edges that mean you have to keep doubling back and overlapping through several areas to check you haven't missed something tucked behind some random rock at the edge of the area it's just so fucking tedious.
And you HAVE to do it because there is shit hidden like this that you do want to get.
I'd say about 40% of my time in the DLC has just been spent riding around on torrent finding worthless filler items.
Really lowers the overall end grade of the DLC for me, everything else has been great.

I don't feel like I needed to. He died just fine with my tactic. If they wanted me to hit his head then I have to say they didn't do a very good job of signaling that.

Well shit, think it’s worth a bit of arcane investment to get the bare minimum to use it on my dex build? I’m using a low of the ping knives, bombs, off hand crossbow, daggers like a underhanded rogue type play style.

>Tries to do the DLC without searching for anything
Then I spent 3 hours trying to find how to reach here, because I both played in offline and MISSED the illusory wall, even though I checked for them. (had to search for it)
Another 2-3 hours trying to reach Shaman Village from the Shadow Keep, forgetting about Marika's statue (got it because I got lucky)

Depends, do you have someone you know to ask you to make a fake hype post and a community too dumb to realise that phantoms enjoy significantly easier dodge timings against that particular boss?
You already have the cheese build you just need the others.

>lock targets his head
not the first stupid lockon in my career
>he spams a firebreath move at you while you are under him that is specifically designed to tell you to get out of there
all dragons do that, you just move back and keep whacking. also his tail is in range during that move
>the camera is horrible when you're under him and janky as hell
that's all dragon fights. I'm assuming it's by design at this point
>most of his moves end with his head close to the ground and within your dodge range so that you can land easy headbonks after dodging his attacks
his head is always close to the ground, but as I said, that's where biting and explosions happen so I am in no way inclined to be there
The leg is superior because you can just keep charging heavy attacks during his attacks instead of dodging, or waiting to punish.

Miyazaki catering to the "jolly cooperation" reddit faggots certainly hasn't helped.
And no, that's not what's killed these games: that would be the power creep from Bloodborne, where it was perfect, to Sekiro (where you had the tools to deal with it, to Elden Ring, where you're thrown all the way back to DaS3 movement in a Sekiro environment.
