Ranni ending - Marika crumbles away, no longer required, replaced with the outergod of the moon/darkmoon. Ranni did nothing to become a god, as we have witnessed through miquella, we basically have definitive proof of this now that she 100% is giving control to an outergod.
Lord of chaos ending - Marika crumbles away, no longer required, replace with the lord of frenzy, who is only able to burn everything away with access to the ring.
All the other endings - Marika is utilized for your choice of the ring, as having a god is REQUIRED, Marika is still the god of the chosen age.

>but metyr said the moon is just a rock
No, you special ed fuck. Metyr said it was just the closest celestial body, in comparison to the greater will, it was insignificant, which all the outer gods really fucking are unless they have access to the eldenring.

I mean, it is absurd to think that the "worst" fight of the Shattering is because of a promise. Or that Radahn was fine with fighting next to Sellia or a fight to death with his dumb horse. Or why would they fight with the goddess of rot in the first place when blooming is related to mental state.

If you want to know how the "age of the crucible" works, the dlc content for dragon communion basically gives you the general idea.

Although any retard that things the crucible is referring to a literal fucking smithing crucible needs to go drown in a lake.

>a place or situation in which concentrated forces interact to cause or influence change or development

Dragon communion is dragons using mortals to purge lesser dragons deemed unworthy to exist. If you got your bitch ass heart eaten by some mortal fuck, you did not deserve to exist. Adapt and overcome or die. Perfection is created through constant conflict to create something new and better.

Funnily enough, Marika says basically the same fucking thing to her own children.

This thing, found in Midra's Manse, can basically proc madness continuously on opponents through dodging. Meanwhile Midra's Flame of Frenzy, the incantation obtained by beating the boss of that area, is just a much much worse version of an existing base game incantation, Unendurable Frenzy.

Yup, still is. I wish it were a more fun weapon. Like sorceries in general, it has a very functional, but boring animation set (why couldn't it have at least used the claymore or fancy greatsword anims), and using it optimally where you just beam spam the enemy is extremely functional, but boring as well. The Bloodborne version was way better in my opinion. Hell, the DaS3 version was better just because of its animations.

They should have kept the Eclipse plot and made it so that final slaughter before the end between the NPCs was to fuel some blood ritual to attain godhood and grant Godwyn a final death (and had Mohg's corpse be the channeling catalyst due to his connection to the Formless Mother, instead of all this Radahn horseshit).

Thinking of making a build around the Priestess heart and Dragon incantations. Two questions: How much Dex should I go for, all the way to 70 if I can? And Endurance seems like a bad idea to dump even if I have light rolls already. Am I wrong and should just keep it at 10?

no wonder people are spamming the spark or shield builds, everything else sucks ass.

>>483935276
Both good and bad. The moveset is the same as rellana's sword but you still have access to the one handed moveset which is handy because of the sweeping heavy attacks in to a sweeping light attack. The biggest thing is that the combo system in the game doesn't lend itself well to light greatswords. The first two pokes of the power stanced moveset kinda suck and you need to work around them. The jumping attack isn't amazing either. I like using them but I like thrusting swords to begin with so I'm used to the pokes.

It's not even a slot machine, it goes way too fast for that. Shit is a fucking baby sensory video. It's a seizure inducer.

I've managed filter out the gay light show in the second phase and focus entirely on his attacks regardless of the guaranteed chip damage I'm trying to take. That's whole different level of artificial faggotry though. I'm at the point where the first phase is literally a 3 minute unskippable cutscene where Radahn can arbitrarily decide to take 1 - 3 flasks from you purely off a (literally) undondgeable attack that even no hit runs have to parry. Every time he does two of those in a row into a speed stab I just want to end the run

Why bother learning the timing for blocks on a boss that has attack chains for 20 seconds or more when I can just hold up a shield and say "FUCK YOU" and win?
I actually won against Radahn on my STR FAI guy by using Fist Weapons with Bloodflame Blade and Endure. You can get around 90+ Phys Defense and 90+ Holy Defense like this and tank everything he does. It's even easier than with a Greatshield but it doesn't work as great when co-op'ing, you have to 100% solo him like this.

Maybe if you respec'd for a gorillion stamina, and even then you can still normal block while deflecting the holy damage, and guard countering 40% harder.
>>
>>483937535
>You don't need to spend two larval tears
I don't even understand wanting to conserve larval tears. There's like fucking 20 of them between the base game and the DLC, what the fuck are you doing where you need more than maybe a few of these per run?
>>
>>483937565
>>483937652
And when you inevitably whiff you'll eat a fat chunk of damage, hence why shield poke is better.
>>
>>483937667
so how many previous times did we have radahn as the final boss before this DLC?

>>483937581
That's nice of them, I would have thought they would flag it in some way to make this not doable

Invading is already so hard for us redbros
You being a blue makes it even harder

>>483937729
The timing is super lenient, its not as tight as parry times, just because (You) can't pull it off doesn't mean everyone else can't.

But why change your build for one boss when you have an item that allows the strategy on any build

Not him but my last invasion was some cunt red abusing the shit out of the throwing shield with its infinite range and catastrophic stagger dealing 1k a hit.

Yes they do, lmao. Clearly you haven't done it. With fingerprint/black steel shield and pearl shield/pearl drake talismans, you can literally face tank everything Radahn does including his nukes in phase two. It's completely braindead.
>>
>>483938548

Yes. Get Bolt of Gransax or a Thunderbolt Keen Urumi for ranged and grab any DEX weapon that tickles your asshole as your main arm. Consider also a lightning misericorde for ripostes. Have fun.

Yes, its a horrible idea. Bloats his health pool to retarded levels and thiollier is useless.
Ansbach is *okay* but his AI gets stuck a lot in the second phase and also isn't worth the bloat.
You still get their armor/weps even if you don't summon them. So do that.

You should be good to go then. Like I said you got cucked out of freyjas quest if ansbach is gone from the library post invasion. You also got cucked out of moores quest with the black syrup if you didn't do it before finding st trina. Seriously what the fuck is the quest design for the DLC

No. Weapons with fire + magic damage do not reset frostbite. Mike Wazowski hates fun.

Oh right the Lacerating Crossed-Tree.
I guess it's one talisman for each invasion as a reward.
I'm close to my goal of having literally everything. Just need one or two more boss weapons. Already have every single incant (minus one of Bayle's the asshole that can't be duped) and every single spell.

He came there to murder you

Between 2 or 3 cooperators you should have enough firepower to at least make a single red think twice, but they do it enough that casual observation of the way yellows and hosts move around tell them everything they need to know about how safe it is to dive you.

Protip: just go hyper aggro on reds. Don't fear them and don't fear being struck. Just pressure them and bully them back and most fall apart.

Ngl the final boss and lore surrounding Miquella is so fucking awful it's killing my motivation to keep playing.

The entire supposed arms race between password phantoms and invaders makes things so fucking weird. When I'm cooping around lvl 30ish and I see a double sudoku niggernata invader chase down my poor 500 health host in his Tree and Beast Surcoat it just makes me think. Same way he's probably thinking when his next invasion loads in and it's bullgoat ganksquad at First Step, it's just funny.

Ok which one has cooler looking spell effects then since it seems split.

'cooler' is subjective.
Int lets you shoot giant lazer beams and call down the moon on peoples heads.
Faith lets you shoot out god rays and zap peoples with lightning/madness.
Respecing is very easy in this game by the way, so you aren't hard locked into any single playstyle.
>>
backhand blades have really weird recovery for heavy attacks. if you just do normal heavy attack the time it takes to be able to roll right after is really long but if you do a normal heavy and then hold down block right after you can instantly roll out of it. idk if this is the same for any other weapons but it's the first time I've ever noticed something like this
>>
>>483940815
It's "easy" but there's a limited number of respecs
>>
>>483940339
Is a bleed build just max arc with leftover in str/dex? I saw the video of the dude bodying Radahn using kickfu earlier in the thread, guess I'll give that a try

Lightning sounds cooler than lasers and moons so ill do faith. Thanks bros

They are very fun and strong enough to be viable. They only seem underpowered when compared to outright broken shit like the perfume weapon art DPS.

Faith is more fun and spectacular. INT is better for DPS, has tracking on many of its spells unlike FTH, and many prefer its faster and low key anims, but all their spells are kinda samey and casting is just waving a stick in the air. I do think the INT lore is more interesting in general though. As for the high tier endgame stuff, FTH drips fashion whereas INT is usually parts harvested from space bugs.

>>483940578
FTH is more than just holy you know.
>>
>>483940865
You get like 20 larval tears in the base game, and even more from the DLC. Nobody needs to respec even half that much, but it should still be a farmable resource.
>>
the asmon build with endurance and great shields is the main character build
>>
>>483941083
>>>/v/
>>
>>483940642
Int has ice, magic swords, meteors, blue lasers
Fth has fire, lightning, dragon heads, yellow lasers
My real suggestion is not to focus on spells either way, use melee weapons that scale with your stat and spells to supplement them.
>>
"Heh, you dodged my 12 hit combo and buffered and attack? How about I step back 2 meters after the combo so you miss out on your only chance to get a hit in until I start the next combo."

Definitely fth, but int is cool from a roleplay perspective as you're literally killing shit by manipulating spacetime, summoning asteroids from space, and opening portals to shoot magically charged star matter.

I haven't done pvp since the Dark Souls 3 days, does everyone just universally gank invaders or am I getting unlucky? I'm talking to you specifically /erg/, I have your password on.

INT wins out in terms of spells but after the DLC I'd say FTH has the better weapons.
With the spells you can't beat the sheer variety of shit you can do with sorcery in terms of aesthetics and build

>>483941009
He's one of those retards who thinks it isn't a real FTH build if you use non-holy incants even though less than 25% of incants are holy.
>>483941151
>every single type of damage except Magic
Incorrect, there are dragon breaths that deal magic damage. They require ARC too, but barely any. They're still FTH.

In the other Souls games you usually invaded people in groups as well, but it was common courtesy to fight the host's summon 1v1 and then fight him.

>In the other Souls games you usually invaded people in groups as well, but it was common courtesy to fight the host's summon 1v1 and then fight him.
this was literally never the case
and in previous souls games people usually just put their summon signs down right outside the boss fog since there weren't any summoning pools so when you invade a guy randomly going through the level he usually did not have someone with him
>>

The "Last Rites" Ash of War found on the "Golden Epitaph" straight sword is a body buff that increases your damage to undead enemies by 100%. It stacks with the weapon buffs granted by the Ash of War "Sacred Blade" and "Sacred Order" that also increase weapon damage to undead enemies by 100%. You can easily deal 15,000 damage in just a few weapon swings depending on what weapon you are using to the Ghostflame Dragon.

no, bosses will demolish you during the long cast times

the weapons I use are the great katana because I'm copying ancient dragon man, lizard greatsword with crucible wings to fly like a dragon, forked tongue hatchet to breathe fire like a dragon and beast claws to rip and tear like a dragon

but using a weapon is actually super shit compared to just spamming dragonmaw and 1 shotting someone
>>
>>483940473
INT is generally better for PvE, but like others said, it's pretty boring. It has spells that bosses literally cannot dodge, spells that delete large bosses (Astel's meteor shower and comet azure), and the Darkmoon Greatword you get for marrying one of the bosses has one of the most damaging and spammable projectiles in the whole game (cast the low cost weapon art, then you have highly damaging, wide sword beams that can stagger/stun most enemies for one full minute, proc freezebite, which causes the enemy to take 20% more damage and move slower, AND your sword's melee is heavily buffed).

FTH spells can get pretty bonkers, but it's hampered by the longer casting time. The animations do look really cool though. FTH lets you do all the crazy anime moves that bosses have. Want to leap 12 feet up into the air and slam down with a huge AOE; that's FTH. The best faith weapon, Blasphemous Blade, has an extremely generous lifesteal on hit/kill, which is incredibly good in ER. Other FTH weapon highlights are things like Malekith's Blade, which does huge amounts of percentage based damage (as in, this attack will always chunk 20% of an enemy's health, no matter how much HP they have if it lands).

The gank squads people were mad about were when a guy with summons was just lurking in a level waiting for invaders to come in. No one with any self awareness at all has ever expected a host just trying to get to the boss to 1v1 them when they're invading.

I'm kinda sad that nothing how they built up Miquella in trailers ended up in game. They should have kept some cutscenes of him to game when we interact with the golden things. There is no character evolution for him in actual DLC. And what we see in final fight and cutscene is just retarded.
