post your pvp builds
Mohg did nothing wrong.
>what a beautiful area, if only it was 10 times bigger and filled with nothing i'd be able to appreciate more
uhhh... bros?
>>483901705
LET HER BIC MAC ME
>>483901705He hasn't married me yet.
>>483901705>he's an Omen sewer monkeyno, he definitely deserves his misfortune.
>>483901759Don't bother brother, they'll just call you le zoomer because you can't le soak into the scenery with 0 interactivity because this is a movie game
How do i get to the spot on the map north of the mountain with Bayle
/erg/ what are your favourite elden ring bosses?mine are1) Malenia2) Divine Beast3) Morgott4) Mohg5) BAAAAYYYYLE
>>483901154I just checked, there's a survivable path from Storehouse, Loft all the way down to the first floor. I don't have a pre-hippo save to test on, but if you can access the Church-half of the Shadow Keep before hippo then I'm 90% sure you can just skip the boss entirely.
Honestly after fighting the Mother of Fingers and having full confirmation that the Greater Will is just an absentee father in a world of greater beings fighting to impose themselves on the Lands Between, what reason is there NOT to go full FRENZY MODE?
>>483901820yea and?
>>483901908maybe morgott, I honestly dont like many of the bosses in elden ring
>>483901893>t. Mohg's crab in the bucket crackhead ass brother
>>483901908GodfreyGolden GodfreyHoarah LouxGodrickMalenia
>>483901908I don't really like any of them.The ones I hate the least are Skadutree Avatar and Rellana, though.
>>483901558So what actually was his plan?
>>483901908Malenia is my favourite but after experiencing Messmer she has competition. I'd say he's number two easily, and by a long shot. Bayle *with* Igon summoned is probably 3rd place for me
>>483901820MOVINGCOMPELLINGTHE SAD TRUE STORY YOU DIDN'T KNOW ABOUT
>>483901908I don't understand why everyone is eating up the "CURSE YOU BAYLE" shit. The voice acting was very dry and didn't come out as emotional as it should. It sounded like a cheesy stage play written by children. I just don't get it.
>>483901893>Omen sewer baby dresses nicer than youJealously is so ugly...
>played offline>summoned the NPC for every boss>spirit summoned for every boss (mostly yoda)>got majority of the scadu upgrades>beat the final boss>had a lot of fun the whole timeDid I beat the game, /erg/?
I have no idea how to get up here.
>Status Update, 28/06:>Made good progress today. I went through fixing some unique multiplayer interactions in the game (i.e. invading NPCs). Sadly this took up a lot of time because I had to re-write large portions of code to support multiplayer sessions in pseudo-multiplayer (NPC invasion) environments. They work now and appear stable so hopefully people can progress storylines line Volcano Manor without having to constantly end and restart sessions solo.One more day with invasions Redbros...
there were hornsent giants?
>finally beat a boss>doesn’t feel funHow do I enjoy this shit again? I remember doing no summon run being really fun in the base game.
>>483901908Unironically? Bell Bearing Hunter and Crucible Knights (not the spear ones, though. Hate them)
>>4839019081)Erdtree Burial Watchdog2)Ulcerated Tree Spirit3)Erdtree Avatar4)Fallingstar Beast5)Elden Beast
>>483901939most common people are worlds away from midra in strength even in that state
Purchasable somber 10s when?
>>483901908GodrickRadagonRykard
>>483902285I dont know, I get same feeling I get from wow bosses. just relief that its over
>>483902339>parry fodder and parry fodderhmmm
>>4839019081) Mohg2) Messmer3) BAAAAAAAAAAYLE4) Radahn (Caelid)5) Rellana
>>483901908Original Radahn. His big swings are enjoyable to roll around.
>>483901759What, you want CONTENT? That shit's CRINGE, nigga. I'm here for the ATMOSPHERE and EXPLORATION. FUCK gameplay, FUCK lore, FUCK the bosses, I just want to STARE AT WALLS AND SKYBOXES.
>>483901908margithoarah louxmessmerrellanaradahn (festival)
>>483902438:)
>my first character took about 110 hours to beat the base game, killing all bosses and getting all the items and shit>spent 20 hours in the dlc so far and will probably spend 5 more>that's 135 hours to do mostly everything in a single playthrough>a slower player might take 150 hours, for a single characteri know it's meant to be an adventure but holy fuck 100-150 hours on a single run
>>483902285I dunno man. Shit ruined the whole DLC for me.>only thing I really liked was the expiration >didn't even enjoy it much because I spent most of the game fuming about whatever the last boss I fought wasShit felt bad all the way around.
>>483902425That’s the problem.It used to be fun. Now, I just want to get it over with
I never understood how there are different worlds in ER, Dark Souls did the same shit. The shadow realm is now another new dimension. I liked when Demons Souls said there is one world, fog creates demons, simple as. Fuck this convoluted bullshit where some worlds are real and some aren't.
why do all of the nameless mausoleum bosses have infinite poise and more health than the fucking divine dancing lion? is this shit bugged? this is retarded.
>>483901908The ones which give best rewards, they are just obstacles for me to get my brain goo go yasss for loot
>its a channeling ash of warI want to see miyazaki the dysgenic ape kill bosses with this
>>483902471You're joking but this is legitimately how normies play games. They are slow as fuck because they keep spinning the camera to look at every fucking detail instead of PLAYING THE GAME.
>>483901908In no particular order:MidraRadagon/EBRadahn BlancoMaleniaFagonlord FlacidusexAs for side-bosses, Bell-Bearing Hunter, Crucible Knights and Erdtree Avatars are always a treat to fight. I like normal dragons (fuck ancient dragons) too, but the terrain is oftentimes an annoyance.
What's your wishlist for the next patch?
>>483902649delete pvp
>>483902260gesture from north of bonny village and use it on the marika statue near gaius door
>>483901908messmerbaylemohgmaleniaradahn DLC versionin fact I'd say messmer is my favorite souls boss ever
>>483902649Larval tear bell bearing
>>483902260It's very retarded and convoluted secret. I don't know if there's a hint somewhere but I had to google it.Maybe I'm just retarded.
>>483901705he tried to kill me
>>483902649DaS3's MLGS, reduced attack damage accross the board from SotE enemies.
>>483902649delete all 1v1 modes in arena
>>483902747the R1 lovers list
>>483902221Yea the main problem is that it doesn't fit to elden bing where everyone is so monotoneI feel like it was some dev joke
>>483902507The thing is, the devs didn't expect the average person to 100% their first playthrough. Most people just move in a straight line and very rarely explore off the beaten path. You can't blame the devs for your autism.
>>483902568There's no 2nd world. It's just a place that's hidden."Oh why no one mentioned it before?" because uhhhmmm errrr
>>483901939the better question is:why is everyone so obsessed with slavery? why is it so important for literal "Gods" to impose their will on the lands between, anyways? why is enslaving a planet, perhaps even a galaxy, perhaps with the goal to enslave the whole UNIVERSE, so important to these super beings? are all lower beings just batteries to them, like in The Matrix or something?honestly slavery is a subject not dealt with enough in major fiction like this. slavery seems like a human universal if you look at history. everyone is always trying to enslave others so they don't have to do the work, they can just force other people to do it for them. all of the gods don't give a shit about the beings living in the lands between, they just want to enslave them in one way or the other. miquella is no exception with his mind control shit.
>>483901908this bitch right here was the one who stuck with me the most long after i had put the game down
So are the legs of the furnace golems HP based or is it based on the amount of hits? Trying to decide what weapon I should be using to kill them on an arcane build.
How do you get the dragon priestess to react to you killing Placidusax?
>>483902868>a place that's hiddenSo another dimension....
>>483902438imagine if you fought them, and, hear me out here...imagine you fought them WITHOUT parrying them? or cheesing them in general? imagine... imagine you actually LEARNED their MOVESETS... eh? ehhHHH????
>>483902471>gets 10 times the gameplay, lore and bosses as every other DLC but cries because there's some open space to navigate in between them
>>483902779You were both competing for the seat of Elden Lord. You were just as in the wrong for trying to kill him.
>>483902986brother thats dark souls, the superior game series
>>483902852>The thing is, the devs didn't expect the average person to 100% their first playthrough.wut? source on this? what's the point of making a huge world where you can go basically anywhere you want if you don't go...everywhere?>You can't blame the devs for your autism.no i blame god
>>483902221>he doesn't enjoy cheese
>>483902870Like you said, all throughout human history the stronger a person is, the more likely they are to impose their will on others. No reason to think gods or outer beings are any different. Hell, the reason I like Goldmask's ending so much is because he recognises that there can be no hope for men as long as the gods are fucking gay and petty.
>>483902870Because beings that don't impose their will/pattern on the universe don't end up propagating for you to see them.That's like saying ehy do species have so much focus in reproducing.Because the ones that don't, dont, and so stop being a thing
>>483903072sorry, my eyes read elden ring boss, but my brain read souls boss
>>483902471you dont get it bro think about the lore, i love exploring dead ends>enemy detects me from 50km away, locks me in place and teleports next to me>fight base game fingers
>>483902507I played the dlc for 25 hour, and I only beat 4 rememberance bosses
>>483901902Stone coffin in the shadowkeep
>>483903057>Gets 10x worse gameplay, lore and bosses as every other DLC on top of shit scoodydoobie system
I don't understand why there's nothing at the Suppressing Pillar. It's one of the most important locations in terms of the Shadow Realms' relation to the Lands Between and yet all there is there is a measly smithing stone.
for every 10th attack the boss does I get to attack oncethis is so fucking boring
>>483901908>Divine BeastI don't know why people hate this boss so much. I found it fun and not particularly hard, even though other DLC bosses took me dozens of tries.I just didn't have problems with the camera that other playes claimed to have, at least on this boss.>Morgott/Margit>Messmer>Godfrey>Bayle>Dancing Lion
>>483902805>DaS3's MLGSlol, I remember people used to shit on that one so hard back in the day. It does suck that the DMGS doesn't have some sort of unique follow-up after buffing with the AoW though.>>483902649Clone the Carian Knight Sword as a melee catalyst. Give me a pristine version of the scaled set without the scales and shit all over it.
>>483902202its not that you didnt know about it, its just your too stupid to put two and two together
>>483903227>shitter making excusesTale as old as Souls
>>483903019TIL underneath my bed is "another dimension"...
Why did Dex and Fth get all the cool shit in this DLC?
>>483901908ChadagonMessmerGODfreyMidraReal Mohg
>>483903272I hate the fucking camera when he back you into a wall.Otherwise, he is fine
>>483903236You have to use summons if you want to have fun
>>483901558Melina deserved DLC interactions and a new ending… We literally kill her brother and an incomplete lord of frenzied flame and she has no comments on that?
>>483903209it was like that for me for a long time too until i decided to explore around the shadow keep and suddenly i'm killing remembrance bosses left and rightnot much of that in the general south of the DLC it seems
>>483903325??I beat the game, nigger. Come up with something new.
>>483902837I really like fast paced multi hit combo fights with phasesI wouldn't mind a third phase to the Radahn fight. Having final and optional bosses be extremely challenging is what makes souls games fun for me
>>483903308in reality its just headcanon. from software puts some scraps here and there instead of telling a coherent story. Seeing how they wrote miquella in this DLC I think it might be for the better that they stick to their little item descriptions
>>483903236You can attack between their strings. For fucks sake I beat Rellana with a fucking Zweihander. Stop being a pussy and waiting for "your turn".
>>483903439
>>483902221>It sounded like a cheesy stage play written by children.you answered your own question. also that it was over the top. also it's a reference to Moby Dick.
>>483903272It was very punishing for me at skibidi 3, and I cheesed the second one with the glintstone jar cannon from the ledge. The moveset was pretty good in retrospect.
>>483903446>racismeldenring haters are not sending their best
It has been about a decade... Do you still remember him?
>Melina is the kindling maiden for the erdtree>Messmer drops the kindling for the sealing tree
>>483903438Which is really weirdThe south map feels really empty in comparison to the north part of the map.
>>483903236>two shots boss with broken build before they finish one comboNot my problem
>>483903019It was sealed away.The bigger question is what the fuck is the rest of the world like considering the land of reeds and other people are not from the fuckin main area.
AAAAAAAAAAA I can't decide what build to use or whether or start a new character respec or what AAAAAAAAA FUCK WHY AM I SO INDECISIVEwhat build would miquella have if he were a character? fth/int? is that fun?
>>483903287>lol, I remember people used to shit on that one so hard back in the dayI never understood why, and I still don't, except the typical exaggerated hyperbole over its 'split' damage.It had the best moveset its ever had. Moonlight Vortex was so fucking cool.
>>483903446>*rings bell*Sure you did
>>483903475>Seeing how they wrote miquella in this DLC I think it might be for the better that they stick to their little item descriptionsYou rike?
>>483903578DS2 was shit and no amount of historical revisionism will change the fact you had a fucking stat that determined your roll i-frames.
>>483903634I just started farming runes so I can be every build
>>483903186>>483903150the issue here is that they're Gods. presumably they're already at the pinnacle of bullshit OP. comparing literal "Outer Gods" to human evolution and reproduction (do Outer Gods even need to reproduce considered they're fucking Gods?) is just silly and absurd at this point. they're not the same at all.
>>483903635It's my least favorite MLGS in Dark Souls, but I agree the hate was overblown.
>>483903578Yep, love this boss
What do the fallen leaves tell of YOUR story?
>scadutree avatarStop running away, you sunflower nigger
>>483903609Hence what I meant by Dark Souls doing the same shit. In the main game is in some weird pocket dimension while outside it people are living normal lives, at least, that's what the armor descriptions imply. There are countries and mostly normal society outside this shit.... somewhere. It's stupid.
the radahn after images are so fucking dope, i wish you could get that as an ash of war and do that in game
just started the dlc with my dragon incantations character, are there good spells/weapons for it?
>>483903578Yeah I do, 2nd best boss of the DLCs
why shadow tree look like that tho? jus cause it shadow?
>>483903578i don't even think i got that far before i quit the game because of how shit it was. like seriously holy shit is it bad. like... wow. i lack the words.
How many of the DLC main bosses resist holy?
>>483903437Melina is built for frenzied cock, already. No further input and discussion needed.
>>483903819>What do the fallen leaves tell of YOUR story?>"I can't believe this piece of shit killed Millicent"
>>483903642>>483903568>"hmm what's this? Someone is rightffully calling my game shit?">SPERG MODE ACTIVATE>"lol u bad, u suk, u noob, u summon"Why are Fromniggers like this?
Are people just so bad at Elden Ring they can't see an opening? The combos in the DLC aren't even longer than the base game
Is Thunderstorm actually bad now or are people just mad you can't just bring someone from full health to zero in an inescapable attack anymore
>>483903682Only one faggot ever brought up the great rune corruption thing and that isn't even true, but yes Miquellafags are just as bad as their Malariafag twins
Fucked about with some DLC pieces more, dislike how I relented and used two solitude pieces on the axe one.Thoughts?>>483903578I miss him.
>>483903939Where's that image of Hyetta and Melina with a Frenzied Flame womb tattoo
>>483903756Right but I'm not saying they have to or they die, I'm saying limeIf a God does decide that they're not gonna try and spread their "system" or cosmology then they won't, they'll just sail across the stars and just exist, you won't see them or have their will imposed on you.You, as a non-God, are going to naturally see the God's that care about spreading their system to mortals because the ones that don't won't interact woth you
>>483903838It also helps that in all the other games the world is fucking ending or time is fucked Like what the fuck are other countries doing during a war of demi gods?
>>483903958ye anon you're so good at videogames
>>483903198The empty finger ruins...
>>483903578I stopped after the sunken city dlc.
>>483903890I take it that you are an Alonne enjoyer?
Oh noooooo nigga
>>483903819>"GOddamn BITCH yous is fine"
>>483903949>it's empty>o-okay it has way more content than the other DLCs but it sucks>it sucks because... it just does okay?nigger
>see ghost>fingerprint greatshield and antspur rapier>see ghost>fingerprint greatshield and mohg's greatspear>see ghost>fingerprint greatshield and antspur rapier>see ghost>fingerprint greatshield and antspur rapierit's a fucking epidemic
>>483903819I became Elden Lord on launch prepatched and killed Miquelladahn prepatched on launch>btw give sliders
What are the invaders doing here? Why aren't they ganking the host?
>read up on the stupid flame titan things>someone says their stagger is based on hit count, not poise damage>use a fast dagger to hit the legs 30+ times >never gets staggered>use a colossal weapon>gets staggered in like 6 hitsFUCK wikitards
>>483904061>they have feetI hate them now
>>483903958Give me some openings on Putrescent knight.I noticed that you jump on some low sweeping moves, and you can get 1-2 hits in when he used fire ability.
>>483904213Do you not?
>>483904061They were cute and I liked them before, but now I hate them.
>>483904141those are yellowcels colorblindchama
>>483904058What gave it away?
>>483903982>great rune corruption thing and that isn't even truepeople believe it is, though
>>483904039I don't know. I don't even think the game says anything about why this war between gods over a tree effects anyone else not in the lands between.
>>483904141Might want to get that colorblindness diagnosed>>483904190It's based on pure damage, not hit count or stance damage. Just fucking rip 'em to death.t. just decimated the 1st furnace golem with +17 backhand blades on a level 80 build
>>483904089>More = betterBut it doesn't? Are you mentally handicapped?
>>483904141>he thinks invaders are that colorAsk me how I know you've never played the game
>>483903958It is possible to get 20 seconds of Radahn with 1-2 openings for a single R1
Now that the dust has settled, is Radahn 2 harder than Malenia?
>>483904036yeah but it seems like they all want to and it doesn't make sense since they're already literally Gods. to iron man your argument though, i could see it potentially. like Elon Musk buying Twitter despite being a billionaire already. he already "won" capitalism, wtf is he doing? and yet he does it.
Str/Arc or Str/Fth for my first playthrough of the DLC? I'm struggling to decide between maining the Meteoric Greatsword or the Flame Knight's GS
>>483903982>great rune corruption thing and that isn't even trueMiyazaki mentioned it in an interview
>>483903776>least favorite Liking 1's or DeS' better I totally understand, but DaS2's was fucking trash.
>>483903776>overblownit was not, it's awful.
>>483904273He is a cool boss fight.
>>483904283thepeopleareretarded.gif>>483904398>le flame of ambition somehow = corruptiontfw Morggot was right
Why does ymir attack you after you kill metyr? I didn't pay a lot of attention to his questI assumed that was what he wanted
>>483904316I don't have any fast weapons I can equip....
>>483904363Radahn 2 just normally is harder than doing no-damage Malenia
Elden ring has the worst fashion game out of any soulslike
How do we fix invasions
Why does nothing in the DLC feel memorable?
>>483904359Sorry, I should've specified I wasn't talking about the final boss. That one obviously has very little openings, lol
>>483904061>>483904213>>483904268>>483904258you thought it was fake. shame on you all.for your penance, hmmm... i want you to all respond to this post with the number of times you believe miyazaki jerked it to those tootsies right there. try to be realistic in your estimates.
Can you do anything with the big bowl after Gaius? This area feels important.
>>483904560Pretty true, but the whole series has been going downhill in that regard after Dark Souls 2.
>>483904498Zoomers everybodyYmir wanted to get you to summon Metyr and feed you to her, but you were too strong and he went mad
>>483904615no, get fucked
>>483903751that doesn't seem funstr just seems bland and like i would fall into jump heavy attack spammingdex is too squirrelly for me and i don't have the reflexes for italready did an int build and it really seemed either pretty easy with mobs or just painfully unfun when it didn't workfth seems niche and lacking in a workhorse like int has, but at least has varietyarc seems like a trap stat unless you to eke out all the usefulness you can by using an occult scaling infusion with a weapon that has natural status buildupi like spears and current character is a dex/arc build but the arc isn't doing anything bc i'm not using the dogcock rapier or bleed weapons, just a partizan bc it looks cool. I wanted to roleplay as a follower of malenia and use scarlet rot, but the scrot dragon breath scales with fth not arc and there's no rot infusion or ash of war that i've seen so i just end up wearing the cleanrot set and not really doing much with the roleplayShould I lean more into a status build and be a bleed shitter using the eleonora poleblade, or go full dex or maybe dex fth? or a golden order build with fth/int?

>>483904560I don't know who on the art team decided that all of the armours and weapons should look so fucking DIRTY.
>>483904580literally and unironically just ACTUALLY DOWNSCALE THE FUCKING PHANTOMS ACTUALLY DOWNSCALE THEM YOU FUCKING FUCK DOWNSCALE THEM WE HAD THIS IN THE FUCKING NETWORK TEST JUST MAKE THEM ACTUALLY DOWNSCALE MIYAZAKI YOU FUCKING PRICK YOU PIECE OF SHIT JUST FUCKING DOWNSCALE THEM YOU MONEY GRUBBING FAGGOT AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA(also put way more enemies in the open world because that shit is unplayable for invasions unless you just want to do assassin build trolling)
>>483904746Yes, by not helping Leda assassinate Hornset you save them both but Hornset still tries to assassinate you after killing Messmer
>>483904710Dancer set looks very good. Could've been better, though.
>>483904061the miyazaki effect
I can't find the fucking Hornsent Leda sign. The rune has broken. I've killed the Hippo. I told Leda to gank Hornsent. what am I missing?

I leveled from 150 to 200 on my first playthrough, and still ended the DLC with at least 15 new +24 / +9 weapons. People are smoking crack.>>483904580We can't, they're too far gone and any attempt to fix them would incite the wrath of casuals.
>>483904363Yes, much. My first kill of Malenia took me 25 tries and I played "honestly". Radahn? Fucking 57 tries, I used spirit ashes, and switched to a % damage cheese build with 20 skibidi halfway through. That fight is horse shit. I should've just perfumed his ass. I've never wanted a Souls boss nerfed before but he genuinely needs one.
>>483904710>>483904946Coomercore build.I approve.
>>483904673maybe this isn't the right game for you, anon. try kirby's epic yarn, that's probably more your speed.
>>483904580Twinking should be impossible. Armour and weapons should not be droppable. If you want to invade with endgame gear at lvl 30, you should play the whole fucking game at lvl 30.

>Want to make new build>Can't Honest Merchant the things or cheat them in>It would kill the purpose of playing>Don't want to go through most of the base game and DLC just for like one or two items>It takes too longFuck.
>>483904646That's shame.
>>483904842changing your stats is the only thing you shouldn't do bromay as well add in cut content just to make sure you're getting fucked extra hard>>483904818>"w-well it has more content but it sucks... because it just does."nta but some of it being reused content from the base game sucks a bitdidn't happen with me but i would've killed myself if that tibia mariner spawned the royal revenant, it sounds stupid
>>483905006The only thing we need is an infinite source of Ancient smithing stones. +24/+9 is good enough to get a good sense of how good a weapon is though.
>trying out all the new spells>stone of gurranq still the best why is it so hard to deal with a rock to the face?
>>483905006>I leveled from 150 to 200Am I supposed to take anything you fucking say seriously after that?
>>483904710i hate these sorts of vids. they just make me want to have sex.

>>483905227125/138 bracket is dead. Nearly everyone went into the DLC at 150 and there are enough runes to comfortably go to 180/185.New meta's going to be higher and 150's going to be dead.
I hate these fire giants so goddamn much theyre inconsistent as fuck with their patterns.
>>483905190>some of it being reused content from the base game sucks a bitYeah, but that's every DLC. It has more original content too. It wins by any metric.
>>483905287Create a dice roll table of builds you want to try and let RNGesus decide your fate.
>>483904673I think the best way is to figure out what weapon seems fun to you and build around that
>>483905141stop taking shit so seriously, anon. just roll a new character and play. there's nothing for you to prove. literally not a single person cares in the entire world besides you. hopefully this inspires you. you're overthinking it, just fucking PLAY, dude. accentuate the positive, eliminate the negative.
>>483905227200 is the new meta Grandpa.
How do I beat Radahn 2.0 on an arcane dragoness build?Nothing I do does enough damage to him and he 3-shots me...
>>483905058you know it only takes 3 hours to get end game gear without having to fight any major boss right?And clearly ttat isn't the problem, the problem is the host can always summon end game max level friends which justifies the invader to have the most broken tool set to fight them and then the entitled hostcel party finds a youtube video with all those broken tool sets after the fact and then there isn't a point to invade because it becomes a matter of who can out choose who the fastest
>>483904580>invade someone>have to successfully evade roughly 50 ashes of war from them and their two summons before even getting an opportunity to fight back>lose due to these insurmountable odds>host and phantoms proceed to point down for 30 seconds
>>483905335I'm capped at 180 right now, seems like thats the new sweet spot.
>>483904818Oh, now you’re just being disingenuous, nice. Fromfaggots really are low IQ.
>>483905507I accept your concession.
>>483905227Am I supposed to be impressed that you're playing at a dead meta level that no one even adhered to in the first place?
>>483905076I don't see it
>>483905058You can easily beat bosses at level 30. We used to do that before CE tables became a thing.
>>483905287become more decisive, pussy. now is your chance to practice not being a lil bitch. good luck.
>start game>there's something called an elden ring and some queen shatters it triggering a war>you're some random fucko who gets resurrected>fight a magical knight, stone guardians in a tomb, footsoldiers and skeletons>alright pretty standard stuff>find magical hand people, eternal sleep crack addicts, meteor magic demigod and literal aliens in craters>kinda weird but alright>turns out the big tree is a parasite and the greater will is an alien floating around in space and if you marry ranni you two take off across the stars to fight it>mfwi've come a long way from fighting godrick soldiers to fighting a lovecraftian finger alien
>>483904580aside from everything else listed more gimmick invasion covenants and areas to encourage more for-fun play. you can't eliminate sweating but you can try to encourage more people to participate so they aren't the majority

>>483905614you know what you have to do, anon.
>>483905614git gud then. if ongbal can do it, so can you. moonmoon has died 1333 times so far in his RL1 first playthrough of the DLC. what's your excuse?
>>483905563Did you exhaust Leda's dialogue? As in "I thought about it but I believe you're right" or something of that nature?
I started at 138 and finished at 138. I will not level. All runes went to my 700 of each smithing stone.

Are we actually defending people who level past 150? I swear to god.
>>483905790same, but 125anything beyond 150 is bloated, and is no longer a build. if anyone went beyond that for the dlc, they didnt beat the game.

>>483905903at least his dick was bigger than yours
>>483904580reintroduce pvp covenants with item rewards to encourage people more people doing them regardless of experience of skill levelthe only people currently invading are a small number of dedicated fighters, roleplayers, and people doing varre's quest

>>483905563Did you enter Messmer's boss room? That advances Hornsent's quest and his sign moves into Messmer's room. But it lets you save Ansbach instead for his bow.
>>483905084looks reaally weak
Are the four soreseals related to Messmer's, Melina's, and Ranni's eyes? Whose eye does the fourth seal belong to?

Anon's please post some anti gank Invasion builds, fucking please, I want to at least have some fun invading before I chuck the game back in the bin, I already 100% the DLC prepatch and can't be bothered playing the DLC again
>>483905614Take the shieldpill and just respec to use fingerprint greatshield and antspur rapier. This DLC is unbalanced as fuck, it’s cheese or be cheesed.
Just made myself cry daydreaming about Miquella holding/hugging Malenia when her infection has set in really far, and him sobbing quietly into her shoulder saying it should've been reversed who got what curse while she weakly tries to comfort him
>>483906383>hornsent are Irishsuddenly all the unprompted Hornsent hate in the thread makes more senseErdtree (British) loyalists have infested our thread
For me: It was the Blue Smelter Demon boss run.

>>483904061FULLY MODELLED
>>483906190
>>483904639Not feed, get infected and turned into a host of fingers. All of those tiny fingers in metyr are parasites writhing inside her flesh.That's why godwyn's eye leeks black worms in the original story trailer. Metyr parasite fingerworms.
>>483906681Miquella abandoned his sister. He doesn't care about her, or Godwyn, or anyone but himself.
>>483906681aww
>>483906650An anti-gank invasion build is just an l2 spam build, you won't have fun even when winning
I wish Valorheart or some other Gladiator themed weapons got in instead of Kung Fu. >duelists/rotten duelists are gladiator themed >they added pvp coliseums >no Gladiator weapons, but fucking kung fu got in....also>ARC still got no Sorceries for it despite having multiple magic swords nowTheir direction for ARC is so oddly half baked. It seems to me that Arcane arts are those very ancient or very foreign to the lands between. But you cant be a dragon worshiper without paying a hefty faith tax, and despite having actual magically animated swords/magic ancient meteor sword from far away lands you never get any sorceries to go along with them. >do have access to occult scaling >occult meaning supernatural or hidden I feel like Godskin or Death spells should have been Arcane desu or at least have the dragon communion stuff without a faith tax.
ok palm strike i wasnt familar with ur game>no godfrey icon>no shard>no buffsactual one punch man build soon?
>>483906176>Add "players" "dueling" when their multiplayer is dogshitI don't know bro. Unironically, considering you have the Beast Claw dude just hanging out in the open world they may thought about having them in those areas.
I am going to make a pure DEX build for invasions because I have a feeling it will be complete AIDS. Wish me luck, or curse me, whichever.>>483906549I think the four seals are just generic seals, but it does suggest that Marika and Radagon can use them to bind people to their will. Notice how Messmer is ever the doting, dutiful son until he rips his out, and dies cursing Marika. He's clearly seething under the weight of his "duty" even before this, though.>wage a genocidal war for meYes, mother. I'll even take all the blame, don't worry. :)>remain exiled in a foreign land, hated by both our people and the people you genocidedYes, mother. :)

It's funny how you can get all the good loot from the Specimen tower just by jumping and sequence breaking from the Church entrance sideIf not for hippo i'd say you don't even need to go through the front.
>>483904890>Yes, by not helping Leda assassinate HornsetBut doesn't that prevent the invasion runes for Ansbach during the quest later and lock you out of his rewards later...?
>>483907173I liked it, honestly>>483907176Right shame
>>483907045>hiding the HUDOverlevelled confirmed
>>483907173no it's based and the best part is that I can invade people during that boss fight LMAO

>>483907201>inconclusiveI know the base game released two years ago but you do remember that we killed her, right?
Been using the stone lizard freatsword, the R2 does double poise damage if you land the doot and the blade
>>483907201What do ya mean inconclusive, anon?She's dead. We killed her for ever and ever and ever. Seems conclusive to me!
>>483906921this guy gets it.
what do you think her nectar tastes like? since I drank hers 5 times, i'm gonna make her drink mine 10I just want to rape her sleeping mouth so bad.

>>483907416Sorry, 165 AND it was in NG+
If you use anything on this list you're a normie with a cookie cutter build
>>483906887When they were younger he definitely did
>>483904092Blame from for making fingerprint objectively better than all other shields. No reason NOT to use it when playing strength
>>483904580Just delete them from this game at this point they're just desecrating the system
I use shit weapons for aesthetics, miyazaki can eat shit
>>483907448What's ironic is that actual tankchads win bigly in the DLC because the +3 drake talismans, opaline hardtear, dragoncrest greatshield, and crab make you comically tanky even against the bosses.People hiding behind fingerprint greatshield have never even looked at the menu and seen what damage negation is.
>>483907496>It's about winning with garbageyou don't win with garbage. you lose. that's sorta the entire point of the L2 spam shit. it's like you never ran into 3 dudes standing in an open field, the host being twinked out and the phantoms being max level password summons, before, and it shows.

Seems to be easy to bring the dead back Why don't they do it more? Is it a miquella exclusive technique?

Was Marika's Golden Order even a bad thing?>She killed all who opposed herWelcome to all of human history.Was there any signs of instability before Marika presumably had her breakdown over Godwyn's death and shattered the Elden Ring?I know the 21st century Japanese are extremely asexual when it comes to storytelling but do you think Godwyn and Ranni were to be wed? Godwyn would be a suitable Elden Lord and Ranni the empyrean viable replacement as a God.It would also tie into Ranni refusing her fate and forging her own path, also explains why she chose Godwyn over anyone else to murder.It could even explain Marika's motivation behind The Shattering, her retirement plan was spoiled? Fuck this ragequit.

>>483908413Anon are you perchance a retard
>>483907304Sorry I forgot, let me translate it>Just cummed from my eyes fantasizing about Miquella holding Malenia when her infection has set in really far, and him whining into her shoulder lamenting about jow this will make raping her orbkilling her way less enjoyable while she weakly tries to get awayThere, now is it relatable for you?
the greatsword lion-knights in enir-elim fucking suck
>>483908297What did she do that was so terrible?>>483908253Stagnation bad because everything is falling apart in those settings over time and you play when the world is at the end of it's rope.Meanwhile The Lands Between were perfectly fine until The Shattering.
>>483907991Because it's a completely optional refight of the first boss you encounter in the DLC, with a stupid twist that really isn't difficult to deal with at all. The deathblight is also less threatening than the lightning phase that he always opens with in the real fight, especially if you use your brain and equip the appropriate talisman to resist it. Or just use boluses.It's not like the 2cat refight in Crown of the Ivory King, which is just complete and total bullshit that's difficult for difficulty's sake. The gimmick is easy to deal with, but distinguishes the boss enough that people are talking about it because it's goofy.
>>483908429h-hey
>miyazaki realizes its weird how he deliberately put a child-like character in the game for him to then be raped>takes the opportunity to say that the child wanted it all along when he releases the DLC

Ye or na?I kinda like it, would fit since I'm using her sister's staff too. A good alternative piece to use mid fights, just hate how it's held when one handed and that one fragment kinda fucks with everything.
>>483907629Git gud, looks like a normal dlc boss fight
I dont like the martial art weapons, they feel shit to use.
>>483908802mohg was raped
I have two problems with radahn1. His left diagonal, right diagonal, cross slash move being impossible to dodge using basic movement set without other additional effects or ashes on top of it is absolutely stupid2. the visual clutter in the second phase from all the pillars of light spamming makes it a pain in the ass to see what move he is doing

Why is there no way to pick which arm you want to use the AoW on? I hate needing to stash the shield to use a weapon AoW or you are forced to relegate yourself only to shields you can remove the AoW.

do I break anything by fighting/killing messmer
I just discovered rolling sparks + lightning bottle build. I enjoy anger of everyone who thinks I am a cheap grifter during invasions.
>>483904363Yes unless you use summons or a shield.

>>483909007150 is a nice sweetspot.
I used a walkthrough to 100% the DLC to not miss anything and I just feel like such a fucking zoomer now.

>>483908845I was going to do what >>483909084 said. Staff in right hand, Dueling shield in left. Maybe infuse it with Magic to boost its damage? Royal Knight armor with it could look pretty cool too.
I am just going to say that I really like the sound of parrying bosses that need to be parried more than once to break stance.

>Melina knowing the Minor Erdtree incantation that was supposed only known to Marika makes her be placed early as fuck in the timeline of Marika's path to the whole golden order ordeal >Messmer from the Gaius descriptions implies that he is older than Radahn So Godwyn wasn't even the first born of Marika then? Or did the Godfrey path of conquest start from the shadow lands too? The Bird Warriors shit kind of fits the description of the Storm King that Godfrey fought (and that everyone assumed it was Placidussax), since they are a higher power tied to storms and the first iteration of the horned warriors. Honestly the timeline of events just keeps getting more and more confusing.

>>483909816Yeah but Godfrey wanted to punch people, sending him away meant less people for him to punch. That's a crime, kind of.

less than a one minute ending cutscene?after that awful boss fight?????????that's it???????????????????seriously??????????????????????????????
If there's one thing I'm truly happy about in this DLC, it's the extra Carian Silver pieces that litter the world now.
Radahn would be a great boss and fight if not for the ONE single move that is impossible to avoid with dodge rollingThis single move ruins the boss as it turns into a game of hoping that he doesn't use it often as you will be forced to take damage. Had runs where the fucker would just spam it multiple times in succession.

>>483911079this kinds of fits nicely but then we're definitely gonna find some new shit that will contradict it also when does the GEQ shit comes into play if we keep assuming that Melina is her? or did people drop that theory?
>>483911079The timeline is already very retarded right now (to not just say Miyazaki fucked it up) and yours is even worse.>Rellana is disowned by Rennala for her association with Messmer>Rennala, head of the royal family of Caria, was said to have given her younger sister, who renounced her lineage to chase after Messmer, a gift of lustrous black hair.Don't forget about this:>Gaius and Radahn were good rivals in their youth>>483911665>30 second cutscene>explained by the fucking young lion armor description anyway:)
>>483911857>Mohg isn't a pedoHe still isn't beating the allegations until somebody provides a good explanation for what his plan was before being charmed. He still needs an Empyrean for his dynasty.

>>483910669What's that?
>>483911758Clear your hotbar and then equip as many consumable healing items as possible (ie flask, Marika's blessing, meat dumpling, the new bloodmeat thing).When you summon your mimic tear, it will have all of these at its disposal and will periodically heal with them, which greatly extends its lifespan.
>>483911678>another tiny helmet you have to manually modify your head size for...>>483911750>Ringed City>ties the lore togetherTRC was despised on release for everything involving the pygmies, Gwyn, and his other daughter. It was seen as tasteless fanservice, like a lot of the rest of DS3. It's only with time that it has come to be accepted as canon. Personally, the fanservice in DS3 didn't bother me much, considering it's a direct sequel.
>>483912065He didn't want a dynasty originally. He just had a blood cult. Yeah he kidnapped people but that's morally good because it's funny.
>>483911927>game with literal unironic mounted combat>no jousting helmActual travesty.
>>483910224We can only dream anon
>>483912178I dont get it, why would fanservice be bad
>>483912065Miquella told him to do all that blood shit, Mohg is actually the hero of the story a guy like Ansbach wouldn't worship a lunatic
So.... how did Marika explain the two Hornsent-looking children to Godfrey?
>>483911740I played these games before your brown hands even touched them. Now go choke on the biggest black cock you can find.
>>483911418counterpoint: let the feast begin
>>483912113>wastes all his consumables and dies anywayLimited consumables are a meme. They're useless if you haven't mastered the fight, and then useless because you've mastered the fight.
>>483911758Summon Taylew the Golem Smith and have him carry you, don't forget to heal him occasionally with Heal From Afar
>>483912095Any decent medium shield works with the greatshield talisman. You'll take chip, but just get some holy and physical damage negation. The raptors of the mist protip is based though.
>>483911758Look up where the rest of the skibidi fragments are. The game wants you to be at 20 for the final boss.
>>483911678One more
>>483912297No you don't understand. Your mimic tear has infinite quantities of every consumable that you have equipped when you summon it. These are not consumed from your stash, it pulls them out of thin air. It's just free healing for the mimic.
>>483911118Player boss fight with every player being level 150 minimum would be absolutely fucking cancerous
>>483911857Mohg was cooler when I thought he invaded the Haligtree using blood teleportation and flew away.Or when his personality was more of a sex cult leader, going by "kidnapping" of Albinaurics, Rose's Church + Varre, and "Sewer Mohg Omen" being in what looks like a church.Now there's no character. People don't like Mohg. They are dickriding Sir Ansbach, which is very different."Urr durr Mohg is forgiven." says the faggot who never cared.
>Marika was just getting revenge for how she was treated by the misbegotten >The "Greater Will" was just some natural/supernatural event, but otherwise not at all connected to any events >Everyone just made up dumb religions about it all and kill each other Lol. Lmao. Rofl. So ER is really just every single religious war ever based on completely fictional gods which don't exist and their 'prophets' making shit up about how the neighbors need to die because a burning bush told them so.
>>483911423i understand vyke now

>>483912256Godfrey probably knows about Messmer and assume it’s a side effect of the curse. No one is dumb enough to think that Marika would fuck an hornset
>>483912221CAN YOU FUCKING IMAGINE IF YOU DID HER QUESTLINE DOLL RANNI SAT ON YOUR BACK JUST LIKE MIQUELLA DID FOR RADAHN AND SPAMMED MAGIC WHILE YOU FOUGHT
Okay I tried to gather as many Skibidi fragments before fighting a remembrance as possible and this is the limit. 2 are locked behind Ancient Dragon Man, 3 are locked behind Inquisitor Jori
Now that the dust has settled, can we agree Marika unironically made the Lands Between a better place to live and overall was a successful ruler?
>>483912178How is it fan service if it literally explains the whole pygmy shit and where the dark sign fuckery came from? I thought it was pretty neat even back on release. Also the final boss being literally a literal who that endured literal hell for ages just like the player character is even more fitting for an end to that series.
>>483912280Many of us are by the fire, forsaken. I speak of thine kind, and mine.

>>483912249nah he was most likely doing the blood stuff beforehand considering they're the pureblood knights and all. but>Wishing to raise Miquella to full godhood, Mohg wished to become his consortin light of the DLC makes it sound like miquella gave him the whole dynasty idea.
>>483912256>>483912489Funfact about messmer in jp he's described as godfreys son not radagons I really don't know how the fuck that works unless that fujo theory about marika godfrey and radagon all fucking is true
>>483912532i'd need to see a few more pictures of her looking thicc before i agree
>>483912415The difference is that gods do exist, just the big GW apparently didn't give a fuck after sending down Metyr and the Elden Beast.
>>483912242Like I said, it didn't bother me that much, so I'm not the one to ask. You have to consider that DS3 was the first direct sequel in, like, 7 years of FromSoft games. Dark Souls was a spiritual successor to Demon's Souls, and only featured easter eggs like Patches or soft references like Lautrec being an analogue for Yurt. DS2 was set in the same universe as DS1, but on the opposite side of the world so it had very few direct references to DS1... but recycled concepts like the four lords.Siegmeyer, Ornstein, Gwyn's children, Gwyndolin being eaten by Aldrich, etc. really pissed people off at the time.
>>483910224>>483912221>>483912508Yes, we should have been allowed to 2 v 2 Radahn and Miquella
>>483911118invade open world bosses
>>483912617He exists, he just doesn't correlate to anything that takes place there. He sent out a tendril of himself and a beast to protect it but that's it. Everything else is made up fanfic by the inhabitants. Its quite based actually, 10/10 story.
>>483911758bloodhound step and bleed colossals
>>483912617The Elden Beast is just an Astel made of golden energy instead of blue. It crashed to the Lands Between was no more than a happenstance, just like any other Falling Star. But Metyr took it as providence because she was desperate for a sign from daddy Big Bang.

>>483909213There is nothing wrong with using spoiler free guides for Fromsof npc quests.None of them are intuitive, logical, and have many ways to break
>>483912696Of course not, he has thousands of planets he's on and this is just one of many.
>>483912178>fans dont like fanservice since when? People crying about ER right now are mad their favorite tranny child god didnt get proper fan service.Anyway, DS3/Ringed City was Kino. Elden Ring was never kino in the same way (the lore always sucked) but it has other things going for it mostly weapon diversity and lots of content...even though it makes you refight the same bosses quite often. Just compare main themes, DS3 just absolutely shits on ER so hard from title screen onward in aesthetic quality. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZuBn3azVg1U
>>483912242because das 3 is nothing but fanservice wanki want a new game, not wow i saw a reference stand up and clap simulator
>>483912724There isn't a single open world boss in the DLC worth invading (they're all just shitty base game bosses recycled) and none of them are properly sequestered, so if you search for folks fighting an undead dragon or Fallingstar Beast or whatever you'll also invade people clean on the opposite side of the field sitting at a grace.
>>483912638>whoever drew itAnon, that's a cosplayer.
>>483911419I actually really liked this boss. He's just the right kind of fucked up I expect from FROM.
>>483911978>believing dying Hor*sent lies
>>483912690>fujo theory about marika godfrey and radagon all fucking is trueGodfrey's just that powerful.Besides, Radagon and Marika share the same body, that includes genitals. Maybe they just completely went hermaphrodite to save time, or something, or just they're locked to hermaphroditism and one taking control is just their appearance becoming more prominent.
>>483912712It should also be noted that DS3 released after Bloodborne, which people occasionally forget for whatever reason. Going from one of FromSoft's most inspired, original games to a true Dark Souls sequel really fucked with people's heads.>>483912962Look man, I'm just recalling what it was like in 2016. Don't ask me why I remember this stuff, but I do. Honestly, it's useful for tempering some of the criticisms of SotE when you have a long memory for how every other DLC was received on release.
So... what happened to him?
>>483912971>i want a new gamenigga you're in a general for demon souls 6
>>483912962The DS3 main theme is so fucking good
>>483913006well she should never cosplay anything again because bitch is ugly as fuck
>>483912412>invaded the Haligtree using blood teleportation and flew away.Does everyone there even know about Mickey's retarded plan?
Dumb question but does the Bloodfiend's Arm build up bleed on light attacks or only the charged attacks?
>>483912962You must be deaf to think ERs main theme is worse than that generic tripe
>>483913092There's a mimic in that room, he aggrod the mimic only for it to pull a grab attack on him
>>483912026>RellanaYeah whoops I forgot that part>>483912016>GEQWho knows, maybe she's also a selfcest baby of Marika/Radagon and her curse was the Gloom Eyed Queen using her like the Rot uses Malenia and Marika sealed it away with the eye tattoo?Who knows, doesn't Melina only have a spirit form and no physical body too? She also has missing memories and her lines when talking about Boc are strange.>Your seamster, Boc...>I see him crying, from time to time.>I think he misses his mother.>He wants someone to tell him he's beautiful.>Does being born of a mother...>Mean one behaves in such a manner?
>>483913097Elden ring is a first good souls game since demons, your whole series was a mistake dasbabby
>>483912482Heh heh. Miquella will never know what a real brotherly bond feels like.
>>483912962>Another Yuka Kitamura babby spouting his retardation again EveryFucking Time
>>483912845this except they can't use any magic and its just a playground slap fight between two children
>>483912971>it wasnt a new game why because familiar characters made an appearance? You do know patches even pops up in ER with no explanation at all right? >thats not fan service Hmmmm
>>483913195Without blood infusion it only builds bleed on charged R2s
>>483912016The GEQ was Metyr. The Godskin symbol is literally her face. The serpents are puppets of the fingers.
>surely the first boss won't be so hard>surely Rellana won't be as tough as the Lion - I have way more fragments now>surely Midra won't do as much damage as Rellana - I have way more fragments now>okay, maybe I need to do Midra later, SURELY Messmer w-I don't even know anymore.
The entire plot line is about Mohg controlling people using his accursed blood.Kidnapping war surgeons (except Varre, who decides to recrute people). Another example: Eleonora kills her ex-hunting partner because she's now a bloodthirsty maniac.Another example: Cut Content Sellen saying that someone puts a curse on us and wants to turn us into a pawn.It fucking FITS. He's called fucking "Luminary" Mohg, his plan to rise Miquella to Godhood and start the age of Formless Mother or whatever is also kino.Fucking Varre calls you lambkin. He looks like Satan or some shit. "Rose's Church" and Sewer Mohg looking like a church. Putrid Corpses or whatever praying looking at his dynasty, Sanguine Noble talking to a bunch of 2nd gen Albinaurics that he tricked into joining him. The plot of "Things wouldn't be so bad if he didn't kidnap the twink, which made Haligtree armies desperate!" also made perfect sense.But no, Miyazaki had to rewrite everything. Fucking hack. Bitch.
/erg/ stop posting about marika and ranni. I'm developing feelings for them. I'm meant to be a frenzy chad. Stop
>>483912690What’s the fujo theory?
the putrescent knight is the only fight I've enjoyed so far
Another one down.With this I've cleared every boss in the DLC without any Scadu Blessings except for Bayle and Radahn. I think I give Bayle a go next.
>>483902649Ash of war stomp that has sweep on the light attack input and upward cut on the heavy
>no elaboration of Malenia in the Miquella DLC>no elaboration of Melina is and what her connection with Ranni might be>no Gloam-Eyed Queen lore>no elaboration of why Marika is crucified and has a spear through her abdomen beyond le epic jesus reference>Radahn is back for some reasonBros, I'm starting to think the world kinda sucks
>>483913404Oh snap so with Blood Infusion even the light swings have 200 bleed. God damn, bro.
Did they really not put a lightning crest shield in the DLC? Weird.
>>483912701As the kids say: Real
>>483913529>BleedDidn't beat anything
>>483913537GRRM wrote it, what did you expect?
>>483913194They fucking DON'T because Miyazaki is a FAGGOT. "Oh Miquella-sama...where are you??? I hope me suicide bombing will illuminate the path to the Haligtree...come back!!!"And he's over there raping Mohg like a retard.
>>483913663bruv you know damn well GRRM wrote some loose outlines and from software were in charge of fleshing it out
>>483912690what's the source on him being godfrey's son
>>483912701>meanwhile in the actual game
Dammit, looks like I can't get 109 poise with my fashion. Saves me respeccing for more end.Could try for 101, is it even worth it though?
>>483913367because it's nothing but "uhh remember this thing from previous game, usually das1, also more berserk references i guess"
>>483913663The fat fuck is not the only one to blame.
i think i have never been able to dodge radanhs stupid ground stomp
>>483913780poise is useless, just dont get hit
>>483912690Messmer is older than Radahn and was like an older brother, waged war on the fire giants(thing was during the Godfrey's time) and killed the hornsent.He has red hair because of stealing the giant's flames, the curse, or the retarded two body thingHe could also been born she became a God
>>483913405The Godskin symbol is absolutely not a fingerprint, anon. It's depicting a womb with a swirl of black flame in the center. Because the Godskins are newborns wearing their swaddling clothes, get it? That's why they're super weak to sleep.We know the GEQ was an empyrean and we know she fought Maliketh and lost. It would make no sense for her to be Metyr.
K i n o . .
>>483913405If serpents are puppets to the fingers, and the fingers are pro the Erdtree, then why is Messmer serpentine nature supposed to be a curse and enemy of the Erdtree?
>>483913770>All of those buffs>Even a fucking soresealWhat the fucking hell is happening here
>>483913442NTA but the fujo theory is that godfrey was plapping both marika and radagon with them constantly swapping identities which resulted in radagon getting impregnated, and when he swapped back to marika the pregnancy carried over. Meaning Messner and melina have 2 dads and 1 mom.
I'm just going to say it. Mohg x Miquella, it's hot, spicy, appealing contrast. Miquella x Radahn, bland, no spark, toxic.
>>483911010Why do you guys never post these things in high resolution?
>>483913780What breakpoints do you get from 109?
>>483913780I have only ever seen poise do anything with over 100 and using the tear to increase poise
>>483913770>>483913405>The GEQ was Metyr.Fucking kill yourself. That shit is using a sword? Maliketh defeated it but not really? Fuck off.
>>483912095>if you use deflecting tear literally any shield (or weapon) works.until it runs out
>>483913985Abusing a broken weapon type and broken ash obviously
>>483914076Kino I subscribe to that idea with how funny it is.
Do you think they should have had consort radahn utilize more features from mohg to really hammer in that it's mohg's body?Like more horns/demon face/more blood flame bullshit
>>483913770The problem with this is its fucking boring. No one signed up to a puzzle game where you play 'What weapon + talisman + buff combo renders this fight irrelevant'. And most people are being forced into doing something like this. It might be dex based bleed spamming with a mimic or a shield turtle, but its all boring. The problem is all these buffs/passives got out of control, they should have been tiny, 1-5% at maximum, and additive not multiplicative.
Would you marry Marika despite her poor track record with husbands or would you marry Ranni despite having to live in eternal darkness and nothingness for 1000 years if you had to choose personally ?
>>483914076That's retarded.
>>483913876Not remotely true, every character called from the grave has their own story arc thats new and pretty much all of them are better than any npc quests in Elden Ring.
>>483914152It should never take you more than 3 minutes to kill a fucking boss.
>>483913770>He got btfo on /v/ and came to /erg/ to cry and look for sympathylol
Anyone have that Mohg x Miquella art where Mohg is holding him like a statue?
>>483914152It lasts for 5 minutes
>>483914204ranni's voice makes me diamonds so I pick her
arcane bros, whats your build like?
>>483914076>Godfrey plapped Marikussy and Radabussy I guess Radahn being gay isn't really such a big revelation
>>483905953Mind isn't a real stat so it's k
there's not enough lore left to make an elden ring 2>but what about godwyn and the geqnot enough for a whole new game>they'll just make new loreand that worked SO well for das2
cancelled DLC was going to be about investigating the mysteries of the fingers and where they came from. each finger ruin would have been locked behind an associated legacy dungeon where the fingers exerted their influence.abyssal woods with midra as mandatory boss, showing how the frenzy flame finger ruined the area.ruah and the shaman village, showing how marika was impaced by metyrmetyr as the final boss of the DLC, revealing the mystery of the fingers as parasite children of an ayylmao.this all would have made for a much more interesting DLC than gay pedo incest with radahn.
>>48391436499 arcane, bleed katana, my gf and her bull in the next room pounding awayt. arcane user
>>483914180It should have been a real ass fusion of the two. Body and personality. Hammer it home that for all of Miquella's effort he still failed to obtain his promised consort.
>>483912454Who?
>>483914204marikai love hags
>>483912016Melina isn't the GEQ. She's utilizing the Beast Eye in the Frenzied Flame ending, as she's seeking Destined Death to end the PC. Take a look at it in-game and compare it to how it looks in the cutscene, it has that same grey/ violet swir, it's just eyes in cutscenes in particular recieve a lot of more detail.
There's a reason you get deflecting tear and a sword with 89 block right at the start of the DLC. It lets you Sekiro all of the crackhead bosses.
>>483914364Powerstancing occult great stars with the shriek AOW from the DLC.
Hey so i just realized where miyazaki got the needle knight gank idea from
>Reach finger ruin>Literally nothing, not even have to go through a dungeon to reach the center, just run past a couple of obnoxious enemies>/erg/ think this is ok game design
>>483914541Shut the fuck up, stop being obnoxious you dumb poser.
>>483914408that sounds like dogshit
how did radagon give renalla a great rune when it was stated the gods and demigods only got the great runes after the shattering and at that point Radagon and Marika were busy being one
>>483914203I don't like how the discourse is that if you completely change your entire build and play style the boss is easy or that because the best players in the world don't have trouble then the game has zero issues.I don't know how people can say actual flaws and then say there are none.
>>483914562I don't think anyone's defending the finger ruins. They're the most 'we ran out of time' that's ever been in one of these games.
What ifMelina IS GEQ[but all GEQ lore we know is a fabricated lie by Marika to prop up herself/spoiler]Godskins are serpentine because like her brother Messmer she has the snakening, but in way lesser form
>Miquella...the roots are tainted. You need to discard everything! Marika is shit!>Okay! Throws away his own body, his Great Rune and even his eyes. >Then, let me grab my brother's soul and merge it with my other brother's body, and we will have baby making sex. This will do it!>>48391440880% of the DLC is about Marika with Miquella added in on the end.>>483914562Only the paid Bandai Namco in the thread thinks like that.
>>483914562they literally only finished half the areas. I legitimate think all the stuff from the cancelled DLC wasn't even worked on, just folded in with whatever was done and nothing else. abyssal woods is LITERALLY NOTHING, and cerulean coast isn't much better.
>>483914525>Powerstancing occult great stars with the shriek AOW from the DLC.didnt know you can change great stars' AoW
>>483914704Idk what GEQ is
>>483914383Godwyn, GEQ, chaos, the rest of the world, the crucible
>>483914516It also seems to block for some time after you land a perfect block. As in if you're about to take three hits and time the first one the next two also get reduced.Its honestly stupid. They should have made this a new mechanic, or at least a talisman. Made it a core part of the entire experience. Putting it as a 5m drink was not the right call.
>>483914671abyssal woods is much worse, at least finger ruins doesn't pretend to be more than it is. abyssal is a completely empty area with some rats and a gimmick enemy that appears 4 times.
>Try to shoot Gaius with a spell as he arrives>He's immune to projectiles during his chargeI'M THIS FUCKING CLOSE TO UNEQUIPPING MY STAVES AND BEATING THE REST OF THIS GAME TO DEATH WITH THE DMGS
Guys. You seem really attached to the idea that Radahn and Miquella were going to be fucking. Bro was probably just going to magic children.
>>483914368To be fair, Radahn manages being gay look actually incredibly gay while Godfrey makes it look like conquering a weaker foe.
>>483914715the shriek briefly stuns mobs trying to fuck you, as well as buffs your AR based on your current hp.... I like it, especially because everything in the DLC takes 2/3rds of your health in one swing anyway.
>>483914660The good news is ER is its own beast and whatever comes next is not Souls or ER. Hopefully From are also tired of trying to balance/manage this type of game and we don't just see ER2: Double the Balance Issues.
>>483914383DS2 new story bits are cool though And Aldia is the best DS character bar none
Having enemies behind every corner stops them being a surprise and isn't entertaining.
>>483914873That would trivialize the whole game, rather than just bosses.
>>483914651the side shit is legitimately more interesting than what we got from miquella, it would have shat all over it if it was fleshed out.
>>483914707Abyssal woods has some of the best atmosphere. I just wish it wasn't such a nothing area. I can't believe I'm saying that this DLC needed more time to cook. Between them and the Finger ruins. Both of them needed a ton more stuff.
>>483913770>Bro look I spammed a broken L2 with a billion buffsYou didn't beat her
So that's it huh no more Elden Ring
>>483914936Why would he need Radahn in the first place then? The light nukes are his, he's strong enough already.
>>483914936What kind of idiot would make a Warrior king husband you can't fuck?
ManRock Heart seems so cool, but the lack of poise and proper defenses really fucking sucks Especially in co-op, dlc boss hp gets so bloated and I'm pretty sure damage as a phantom is tied to how many skibidi fragments the host has
How do I as Faith, though only with 60 Faith, deal with some of the bosses in the DLC? I've already beat it once as melee, but I felt like as Faith I never get a chance to cast spells. As STR I just hold up my shield and go to town whenever I want. But I don't have as much Endurance or STR to wear the big shields on this guy and I don't seem to have access to some of the more cheesy ways to win, like on my STR Guy I used that new Gravity Drill thing with a bleed weapon and bleed resin and instantly proc'd bleed on most bosses.Can I get some suggestions on weapons or something I can use to get through these bosses insane health bars?
>>483914368>Godfrey plapped Marikussy and Radabussy Can you really blame him though?
>>483914383>there's not enough lore left to make an elden ring 2yes there is, we only just got introduced to an actual ayylmao via metyr. there's still a good handful of ayylmao that are alluded to in the game and the DLC.
>>483914364This has gotten me through the DLC so far. You can minmax more if you start Hero but I went Bandit for the roleplay. Reduvia is my main weapon but I've got a couple blood-infused dex weapons (Peeler, Backhand Blade, etc) as well, and Regalia in my pocket for status-immune targets like the Wickermen. With the Faith Knot tear and some gear swapping you can transform into a caster when needed-- I abused the hell out of Discus of Light against the undead dragons.
>>483915104ER2 will be FROMs next Soulslike. The shareholders are undoubtedly foaming at the mouth for a sequel.
>>483912690Rykard has blond hair, so it’s not surprisingly that Radagon hair would leak into Messmer
>Enter Shaman Village while RP walking>it's night time>there's erdtree golden leaves in the sky>it feels like the Erdtree is weeping for MarikaS o u l
LMAOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO
>>483915045You're implying the trash mobs in this DLC are somehow fun or well made and they're not. Nor is anyone dying to them or caring about them. Had this been a feature, more could have been designed around it to be balanced rather than it being just another cheese.
>>483915173It's just like Int. You play melee and only use spells to snipe fodder. Except you also get golden vow.
>>483915043:^)>>483915173If you want to use weapons then you should go to 50 fai.
>>483915078good atmosphere means nothing if you're running for 20 seconds without seeing literally anything interactable.
>Midra is called the Lord of Frenzied flame even though he was just a cuck hidden in a forest>My tarnished who managed to inherit the actual flame and has the potential to burn the world with the yellow flame isn't even acknowledgedYes I'm seething
>>483914715great stars would be shit if it had a fixed ash and no infusion
>>483915215From is a subsidiary of a very large company and a fraction of their profit, they dont care that much.
>>483915254I experienced the same thing, everything was dark from the night sky except for the glowing comfort of the minor erdtree11/10which made me finding Anna's puppet right after dropping down the back side to the secret rise room bellow very pissed off. Masterful whiplash of emotions
>>483915316Designing around it would make it mandatory. Fine if it's a basic mechanic, not a required item. It probably will be default in the next game since they can't make enemies any faster without it.
>>483914859The Gloam-Eyed Queen, the leader of the Godskin cult.
>>483913985Soreseal isn't even that bad in the DLC with the fragments giving you endless amounts of free resists.
>>483914873>They should have made this a new mechanic, or at least a talisman.just go fuck off. if I want to play sekiro I'll play sekiro.
>>483915346>50 FaiIs that the soft cap for melee? Do I lose out on much damage?>>483915342I'm honestly mostly melee. 60 Faith doesn't really get me much power in the DLC so I'm mostly ignoring it and only using it for buffs. I just feel like my damage isn't as good as when I was playing on my STR guy.
>>483914204Rather pick Marika desu. Space fucking sucks.
>>483915543>Cheese fag cant press more than 1 button at once Im sorry that you think a balanced combat system of dodging, jumping and blocking is worse than just this dogshit >>483913770
>>483914704I think the GEQ is sealed inside her eye like the snakes are for Messmer
>>483915471The entire experience has me considering an Erdtree and Marika loving paladin character.
>>483915504>The GEQ is the leader of the godskinssloptuber headcannon
WHY IS HE IMMUNE TO PROJECTILES???
>>483915043You should play Lords of the Fallen(2023), you'd love it.Seriously, EVERY SINGLE CORNER has someone lurking behind it waiting to push you off a ledge or fuck with you in some way. If there's a destructible wall? Ambush. If there's a bunch of barrels? Ambush. If there's a turn in the cliff face you're moving along? Ambush. It's beyond fucking parody.
>>483915403Chronologically your Tarnished not only isn't a Frenzychad Lord yet, it is unlikely you have killed Morggot yet and thus have not met Shabriri yet to tempt you with cosmic communism jew fire.
>>483915504Iunno what that is I don't play elden ring
>>483915543>ust go fuck off. if I want to play sekiro I'll play sekiro.>implying you could beat sekiroGo back to your bleed build scrub.
Thank you, Miyazaki, for one of the most hilarious invasion locations in the entire series.The second they trigger one of those things, it's all over. None of them can parry for shit. Some hosts even alert them by trying to shoot arrows at me.
>>483915734He has no hurtbox while charging. For some reason.
>>483915543Maybe they should stop putting Sekiro bosses in the game then
>>483915620>Smoughtown made a video stating Miquella mins controlled Radahn>The comments go apeWell well, how the turn table
>>483915570Yes. The difference from 60 fai to 50 fai in a sacred weapon is probably 10 ar or something.It's best to invest those in other stats.>>483915709>The Gloam-Eyed Queen led the apostles. It is said that she was an Empyrean chosen by the Fingers.Here's your (You) bro.
So Messmer's just objectively the "best" demigod now right? I'm not a fan of his or anything but he's clearly elevated above the others by the narrative.>eldest known child of Marika>only one to get an entire realm to himself >only one she made personal gifts for >one she trusted with her most important mission>wasn't around when that "Malenia and Radahn are the two strongest" statement was made and so is possibly stronger than both >has the strongest soldiers>has multiple unique knight types while everyone else (except Malenia) settles for palette swaps >his troops are extremely loyal to him (hardly unique but notable)>has most of an entire expansion to himself >participated in more known military campaigns than anyone else including the Fire Giant war and multiple crusades against the Hornsent >weirdly the only demigod ever actually depicted winning a fight on-screen>sister of the level up waifu>at least one other demigod looked up to him>even his lieutenant/friend gets to be a Remembrance boss >poster boy of the DLC>has an actual love interest (only demigod to get one other than Ryakrd) who is herself a super cool OC donut steel mage knightess with dual magic swords and her own army and also a Remembrance boss>uniquely capable of burning an Erdtree>gets WAY more characterization through item descriptions than any other demigod except maybe Miquella (but DLC Mike and Game Mike barely count as the same guy with their concepts largely separate, Messmer otoh is fully realized)
>phase 1 Mohg is a perfect fight>phase 2 covers the arena in blood aids I'm being fucking Mohglested.
>japanese word for shaman is mikodamn hornsent, murdering shrine maidens
>>483915210>I abused the hell out of Discus of Light against the undead dragons.thanks this is exactly what im having trouble at the moment lol. im interested on backhand blade though, do you use occult scaling on that or blood?
>>483915734Why are Rannisimps so fucking stupid that they don't dodge an oncoming charging boar?
>>483915790I gotta be honest. I know how to parry them and I'm not sure if I could while an invader is around. Good thing they're all dead in my world already.But I won't get any invaders anyway.
>>483915709>The Gloam-Eyed Queen led the apostles. It is said that she was an Empyrean chosen by the Fingers.
>>483914704sure why not, just make the lore even more worthless, the DLC already established that even item descriptions just outright lie.
>>483901820I thought the Zanzibart meme was about a dying character asking someone that hadn't even been mentioned previously for forgiveness.
>>483914204Ranni. Marika is my beloved mother in law.
>>483915828Damn, okay. Thanks. Not sure where to put those extra stats, but I guess I'll figure it out. Thanks.
>>483915828>>483915959Sloppa
>>483915790Holy shit why the fuck didn't I think about invading in Frenzy forest? The hilarity if the winter lanterns sounds awesome.Also post build.
>>483915880Undead dragons take a ton of damage from holy spells in general. Discus, multilayered ring of light, golden arcs ans do on.
>>483916047IIRC someone mentioned if you're an invader you can trigger the fruits. I don't know if it'd be that helpful because I'd just hang way far back if someone was doing that.
>>483915828>>483915959>led the apostles she was a captain or at best a general in godskin army
>>483915829I dunno if he's the best or no, but i actually wish we could befriend him because he actually seems to value his friends and even got deeply wounded by the betrayal of his top black knights.
>>483915797BUT HE SPAMS THE CHARGE LIKE TWENTY TIMESSHOULDN'T THE COUNTERPLAY BE TO HIT HIM AND DODGE OUT OF THE WAY
If I get dragon eyes after getting blood eyes, do the dragon eyes overwrite the blood eyes?
>>483915861Yes and no. The thing miko lived around people, her village had men and women in it, those pots have male and female voices and models. They weren't just taking the shrine maidens they took everyone even ones not part of that group they took whole families. Just in case you didn't hate hornsent enough.
>>483915829he's also the only demigod who has any textual relationship with Marika, the most important person in the setting.
>>483916140>captain or at best a general>queen
>>483916140What do you think "Queen" means, anon?
>>483915626I don't give a fuck, souls was never about having a complex fleshed out combat system, it's a slow-paced fantasy hack-and-slash. I respect the buff stackers more than the people trying to treat the game like some kind of flippy dippy ninja gaiden shit.>>483915784I beat isshin on my 2nd try, sekiro is only hard until you learn the mechanics.
I used to think shadow keep was the best invasion zonenow I realize its the forest
>>483916185You'd think but FROMsoft gonna FROMsoft. You dodge it by just rolling out of the way, getting on torrent and riding until he ends the charge, or just block it with a greatshield.
>>483914516I'm pretty sure it's going to get nerfed
>>483916121If you can kite them and not get frenzied you probably could pull them out of their patrolling region so long as they don't teleport back to their patrol zone. But luring IQlets into those spots would be funny as fuck or at least have a safe zone to taunt the host
>>483906376this is the truthonce you invade enough in any of these games, you know that there is no such thing as "being a scumbag" to a host outside of just using inifinite hp/stamina godmode speedhacks
>>483915829I'm only confused if he's the unwanted child or not considering he's the one who was shown the most love.He did fuck up by showing mercy and not commiting genocide so maybe that could be a reason
>>483915829Messmer feels like a less interesting Morgott
>>483914562they definitely ran out of time for a bunch of the areas, fingerprint ruins are literally nothing, jagged peak is 4 boss fights with 3 of them being reused, etc.
>co-oping with friend in the DLC>get invaded>it's another viglet who does literally nothing but spam his L2>gets bodied by light attacksWhy? Who thinks this shit is viable?
>>483914671>>483914562Honestly the game should give a notice when you reach giant areas that were only designed to be aesthetically pleasing so that you don't waste time looking for anything.
>>483916047Yeah, Abyssal Woods are insane for invasions. Winter Lanterns don't do any damage to you. They are solely focused on murdering hosts and phantoms. If you bait them into the damn things, it's over.>Also post build.There's no build to speak of, this is my highest level dude.
>>483915829So there really wasn't anything stopping Messmer from just ending the crusade and returning to Leyndell right? Just his own mommy issues?
>>483916375>2 years>ran out of timeGrim.
>>483916437There's no shame in using the map on Fextalife to see if there's anything there first.
>>483916394It's viable against me cause I suck at dodging arts
Tips making a build around these?>Lordsworn Straight Sword >Brass Shield I like to parry, sometimes do guard counter, but usually in exploring. I have been using Bleed, specifically Bloody Slash, lord of Blood, and Rotten Winged. Don't know what to do from here even though I'm technically in late game.
>shows up out of nowhere>dies in one try to most playerswhat was the point of her
>>483916478>what's your build?>Yes
>>483916497Press the roll button, anon.
>>483916394Every single invader I've seen so far has been using the Youtuber Certified™ "One-Shot" weapons. DUDE SWORD OF DAMNATION DUDE SWIFT SLASH and doing nothing but spamming them then getting dunked on.
Story wise, when is it a good time to do the Igor/Priestess/Bayle stuff? Before Messmer? I got 16 skibidi already
>>483916562To be the most honest major boss of the DLC.
>>483916269Shadow keep, Belurat, like 70% of side dungeons and Abyssal Forest are all greatI'm yet to invade Rauh. The sheer scope of the place is bound to whittle coopers down.
ManDryleaf Arts hits like a wet noodle on my character compared to spiked caestus or savage clawsAll +25
>>483915790People summoning for this area are fucking psychotic>>483916309The solution is to tailor your playstyle and equipment to the opponent you're facing
>>483916491Feature creep is a slow an insidious killer.
>>483916562Cutting costs to reallocate noney to other areas by reusing sekliro centipede assets
>>483916610>honestyou mean "easy"
bros i'm starting to think they don't want me using proper spells in this dlc
>>483916562they already had it finished from the cancelled DLC, might as well use it.
>>483916586They use the L2 again
>tfw most of the DLC weapons and gear only on working for duels PvP wiseThe fact I have to stick with Zweihander wave of darkness again for invasions kind of pisses me off
>>483916562She is actually really damn enjoyable to fight, has a great theme and fantastic aesthetics.Her take on Rot is actually rather sad.
>>483916629Bleed or cold infuse them or alternatively poison infuse them and put that new rot kick poison moth flight ripoff on them.
bros serpent flail is so fun
>>483916562To be a good boss who needs a little bit more HP
>>483916309Twinking in the old games was being scum.Making it so every attack would one shot the host was dumb and is also why we got the retarded soul memory in 2Pre nerf scraping spear and pots in DES was also pretty mean
>>483916303They might make it stop deflecting multiple hits off one deflect. Otherwise I think it's working as intended.
>>483916629Yes but they're FUN. If you prefer the damage of the Caetsus, maybe you can still put Palm blast on them because that's where most of the fun of the martial arts come from.
>>483916714Then you roll again, and attack while they're recovering from using the L2.
>>483916721What do you mean? The Fire Knight Greatsword is amazing. Some of the new weapons and ashes are also god tier. Hell, Great Katanas are just better fucking Greatswords in a lot of ways.
Someone in an earlier thread asked what the dumbest-looking weapon art to use with Unseen Blade is. I can confirm that it's absolutely Polearm of the Bud.
>spent 3 hours on Scadutree avatar>go to sleep>beat him 3 triesI fucking hate my slow brain sometimes
>>483916791There isn't a recovery period and they used the L2 again :(
>>483913239wait there are mimics in ER???
>>483916562Having an extremely kino boss themehttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wIJNkuHCXwk
>>483916629they're fun on quality builds, the jumping attack does more to poise than you'd think. Plus they're even quicker than claws so you can get in some free hits mid boss combo.
>>483916848>There isn't a recovery periodPatently false.
>>483916721As a mage you have a bunch of new cool spells that are actually super viable for invasions.The new gravity spell in particular enables some absolutely MAD mixups.
>>483916883That's not ER you fucking idiot
>>483916929Nopers
>>483916629I've noticed that there's a bunch of gear that boosts kick damage, like the Bird leg armor or some new talismans.Those weapons might require specific setups to shine.
>>483916843Is Polearm of the Bud worth using against Radahn?
>>483916598You can do Bayle before any boss.I did it at 6 and it's self contained and has nothing to do with the rest of the dlc
>>483912521How do you get around Rellana?
>>483916832Great Katanas are like a fusion of heavy thrusting swords, curved greatswords and greatswords that are better than all 3 togetherIt's fucking absurd.
>>483917013>>483917013>>483917013
>>483917001You just reminded me, I need to test if those actually do anything. I'm already using the Bird legs on my martial arts character.
>>483916843Wait. You can cast that on Polearm of the Bud??? That means you should be able to cast fucking weapon buffs in it and grease it. It has natural fucking ARC scaling, Blood Grease on that thing would be horrifying.
so if I've got this right >dragon cultists just think dragons are cool and like lightning >dragon communionists ate dragon hearts to be dragons, but turned into wyrms because they're dumb
>>483916654Spells are bad in the dlc.They are slow and the amulet in the dlc that you get that makes them faster makes the still too slow and you take more damage
>>483916883The .webm is from Dark Souls 3
How many healthbars does putrescent knight have?
>>483916883>anon doesn’t know about mimic chestAnon….
>>4839173531, all bosses except 1 in the DLC have just 1 healthbar
>>483917038There's a spirit spring here that lets you get to altus>>483917038
>>483917139dragon communionists exists because placidusax wanted a tool to hunt drakes and kill Bayle for ripping off his heads and is stuck in between time
>>483917463Oh, I didn't even think of that. Cool.
>>483916832>>483917051>>483916935red pill me on some suggestions
I really like Rellana. I like her fight, I like her design and I like her weapons. I haven't beaten her yet but I'm looking forward to it. Something that's kinda cool is that her ability to create 2 Moons at the same time probably means she's the strongest sorcerer....ever. At least as far as Carian royalty goes.
>make a perfect or near perfect run against a boss>die>flop terribly in another attempt>win regardless
>>483911118i'm pissed we didn't, but i'm also kinda really glad we didn'tganks are already cancerous as they are, imagine having to deal with 3 different people all spamming these ludicrously op ashes of war and spells/incantations, while you're completely and entirely by yourself in a small enclosed room with no flasks to heal withOR, imagine being summoned and realizing you're up against a "top-class" cheese build who uses mimic tear ashes and you can't summon anything yourselfthey'd have to give the player boss some incredibly spicy buffs
>you need to kill the fucking cancer fire giant pyre things to get the new tearsfor fucks sake motherfucker
>>483920195I don't even care about the tears except for the Sekiro deflector, I just kill them because they tank my FPS.
>>483911252hes an example of why you should be doing that if you dont then you'll get gated from the shit you would've liked
