can giving yourself the +25/10 stones from the Grand Merchant mod get you banned?
>>483941805nth to say i finally fucking beat radahn after like 4 days of trying.feels good, man.
>>483941836It's strange how ganking is considered distasteful in pretty much every game with open world PVP (which often have much, much fewer restrictions than Elden Ring), yet in Elden Ring it's the ones getting ganked who are endlessly bitched about.
>>483941915no
>>483941805>Neither the finest blade, nor the mightiest armor, will spare you from the poison of ThiollierHis lines went incredibly hard during the team fight. Also, I presume by the fact that he no longer doubts (You) that St. Trina finally spoke to him. Based if true.
Ohhhhhhhhhhh
>>483941957I come from the era where if the invader bowed, you had a duel. I think this may have just been a PS3-only Demon's Souls community thing thinking back but it's engrained in my psyche. Gankers are niggers.
>>483941935also i actually liked it. definitely bullshit-y but fun once you git gud and know what you're doing
I liked it (at 15 skibidi)
>Get this from old lady>Read description, sounds interesting>Try it near some enemies>"WHOA FINALLY A FTH VERSION OF GLINTBLADE SPELLS">Cast it with no enemies nearby>Proceeds to vomit all it's projectiles at a wall and disappearCool thanks Mitsubishi. Great incantation, incredibly useful.
>>483941805I can fix her
>>483941915The way banning works is by checking to see if it's something you couldn't at all haveLike if you have multiple healing flasks, stuff from a boss without ever beating the game, stuff like that, and even that's not always
Holy fuck. Do I have to keep Hornsent alive for his quest? This nigga squishy as fuck.
Do you think ER's plate armor should be "thinner?"
Messmer should've been the final boss/main antagonist. Have the story be either something like he's gonna leave the land of shadow and wipe out all the tarnished so you have to stop that or the seal on the serpent is failing because marika's almost dead so whatever's left of her sends you to mercy kill him before he becomes a monster
>>483942107That or Metyr should've been the final boss since she's basically another Elden Beast. No fucking idea why they went with Radahn.
I finally get what my problem with omen warriors and fire knights is, they don't fucking react to being hit (at least fire knights can get backstabbed but it's real tricky with the dagger wielding ones), feels like going back to WoW and it's shitty MMO combat where damage is dealt but the enemy keeps going as normal. Except I do get staggered so as always rules for thee not for me.
>>483941957nigger you invading someone and them killing you is not ganking, it's self defense
>eating Bayle's heart replaces the cringy glowing yellow eyes with red onesLooks even worse honestly
>>483942079it also does 0 damage
So we all agree Marika did nothing wrong, right?
>>483942172radahn could have been kino if we didn't fight him in the base game, only heard about him as some kind of legend.
>>483942225Mhmm
So is "eternal sleep" status just deathblight but fruiter?
>>483942225she won
>>483942079It's for PvP. You cast this first then spam Rykards skull and Ancient Rancorcall
Wowzers!
>you can get infinite hp on any build with bestial vitality and blue blessed dew talismanJesas
>>483942092i don't think you need hornsent for thiolier, just do the saint trina stuff
any good dragon incantation in the DLC? i haven't seen one yet.
>>483942106Nah, I like it. The only times I can't see armor in media working is if I can't tell how the armor's wearer had it comissioned from a blacksmith.Godfrey's chestplate is fine, you can easily interpret how he would've described it, though to be fair he was most likely off ripping apart lions legs first while Marika was patiently telling the smith how it had to be regal and whatnot with Godfrey chiming in like, "DON'T FORGET EASY TO MOVE IN!"Hoslow stuff gets fucky with the image on the back and the metal roses on one shoulder.Radahn's becomes a headache in terms of trying find materials.POINT IS, armor in media can only work if describing it to a blacksmith to build doesn't turn into some drawn out family guy sketch.
>>483942225Yeah.
Wild how From did the "final boss is a guy you've fought before (if you did Shura first) in his prime" except 10000x better and with 100000000000x the narrative weight. Seriously why the fuck even bother bringing Radahn back if he doesn't fucking talk? Might as well just be a souped up Crucible knight duel wielding greatswords. Also his weapon is the laziest fucking shit I've ever seen, not even a different moveset, STILL scales off of Str/Int and is just an AoW swap instead of making it a stance
>>483942274No it's sleep but you don't wake up unless you get hit a bunch.
>>483942319qrd on this guy?
midra should have killed your ashes instantly. would have made it far cooler.
>>483942080I know I can't, but I'd still try god dammit.>>483942106I'd want them to be slimmer, but not that slim.
me and another dude guardpoking the host to victory
>>483942337I don't know where you pulled Thiollier from. I was talking about his fight with messmer. He hung back and spammed spells this time tho so it all worked out.
>>483942351Best part is that he still walks like as if he has his horse under him lmao.
>>483942357So deathblight with extra steps?
>>483942192Looks like we've got the real saint of the bud here
>>483942325It's not infinite HP if it requires you to actively fucking dodge to not die. Shit dude if forever regen is infinite HP to you just use the fucking icon shield and/or regular blessed dew talisman. They heal you forever for fucking free too and you don't gotta cast shit.
>>483942351>Seriously why the fuck even bother bringing Radahn back if he doesn't fucking talk?he's likely a simple puppet for miquella.
>>483942225This DLC really made me want a prequel novel or something.
>>483942319Buy an ad, washup.
>>483942092You don't need to summon him for Messmer, in fact, I'd recommend not doing it for the coolest ending to his quest.
Every shitty feature here has some retard ready at the bat to defend it.
finally beat radahn, time to larp as marika in NG+ and kick the shit out of all my retarded kids and ex-wife
>took me 2 days to beat rellana>took me 5 tries max for al lthe other boss in the DLCI still think Rellana is the hardest boss to fight against unless you're somehow just hard countering her.
>>483942107Messmer, Metyr, Midra, Romina all seem like extremely important figures, and yet they're just kind of anticlimactic
>>483942450It would be written just as poor as the DLC.
>>483942465Have you ever stopped to consider that most people like the features and nobody gives a shit about your half-baked "literal who" opinion?
>>483942524surely you aren't counting radahn?
>>483942524even Radahn took you 5 tries??!
I'm exploring options for a build that should remain untouched after the inevitable balance changes. Currently I'm most interested in the Smithscript Axe. with high AR and the ability to jump throw (faster than the standing throw), it's the best axe in the game right now for elemental damage (warped axe probably still better for physical). The jumping throw is way faster than you think it is and it's very good at punishing people at mid-range, and the backwards jump throw behaves like a backstep attack. very useful
>>483942192It doesn't look that different from the invader blood eyes. Are there any other new eye alterations?
>>483942343Maybe the Hoslow armor started simpler and just got more & more embellished over time, since they say it's an heirloom that gets passed down.
>>483942524>boss runs away from me>I use sacred blade>enemy felledit's the ones that actually try to fight you that are hard
>>483942524Maybe a skibidi fragment difference?
do NOT sex dragonsand don't event entertain the idea of sexing a drake
I heard there was a Sekiro parry item in this DLC. Where do I get it?
>>483942524>2 days to beat rellanaWhat the actual fuck are you doing?
>>483942361>make it his schtick to beat malania for people>solo her with a 2x katana RoB meme build>advertise himself on reddit>eventually become a reddit celeb>DLC drops>he's filtered by radahn>tries to make his new schtick soloing messmer>no one gives a fuck because it's not radahn>getting clowned on
>>483942361>redditor steals jarwight design but with dual reddit katanas, gets worshipped for "soloing" malenia like millions of other people except in a shitter way of running away and poking her
>>483942651first fire giant
>>483942586>jump back throwing axewhat is this, sf2 akuma?
>>483942565>surely you aren't counting radahn?he's included. unlike rellana, radahn doesnt have a bullshit split second frame attack that chains into 7 hits combo. radahn is far slower making it easy to calmly evade most of his attacks. obviously, he can be an ass, but he's not a complete douchebag compared to rellana at least in my experience
>>483942351I thought Godfrey/Radagon/Elden Beast were way more hype than Radahn/Miquella. Radagon and Elden Beast in particular just had an amazing remix of the main theme backing them.
>>483942708dude radahn is 100000x times harder than rellanawhat is your build?
>>483942524You didn't beat Radahn in 5 tries unless you cheesed him, no one is falling for this bait.
>>483942635I will fuck anything that's sentient enough to hold a real conversation, is of the age of consent, and will show me love, affection, and loyalty. If that's a dragon, so be it. I will cum in that cloaca.
I really like my schizo-psycho murderpaladin wife
great katana in the offhand gives us access to a hyperarmor attack that true combos into an R1 from the axe, which sets you up for either Sword Dance or a backwards jump throw. the full combo is devastating.
>>483942673Is there a trick to killing them? They're really tanky
>>483942708Five bucks says you perfume spammed, chicken winged, or deflected/shieldpoked Radahn. There's no way you beat him in sub-5 tries otherwise. Post your build coward.
>>483942830hit their legs until they fall down
FOR THE HOST
>>483942631>Maybe a skibidi fragment difference?maybe. i fought Rellana with 7, and Radahn with 15.>>483942654i play with low vigor (40)>>483942745arc with a bit of dex and faith for buffs>>483942761the fuck are you on?
>>483942830you have to posture break them 3 times so they fall over for a riposteusually it'll take 2 rounds
>>483942729I always liked how the leader of the pantheon and final boss is a smithing god of all things, and you fight him in his forge. That's not all that common in fantasy.
>>483942880I staggered one twice then it got back up and killed me.I have a lot more scattree since then but they seem aids to fight.
>>483942586>>483942823Nobody cares dude
>>483942970I care
is the Queelign or Sword Lance better than Godskin Stitcher?
>>483942587That's because it is the invader blood eyes, I did the Varre questline a little while ago randomly and didn't realize until just now my eyes had changed. I didn't even know that was a thing before now, not to mention it replaced the dragon eyes in the character customization menu. I just assumed that Bayle did that since the other dragons gave you yellow eyes, my bad
>>483942952keep doing it until he falls. it's just the stone giant but you have to trip them three times per crit.
>>483942918>lvl15>Supposedly beat Radahn in 5 tries with no summons or anytingRight... did you use a blindfold too?
>>483942823I care dude, nice webms
>>483942225She did a shit job raising her kids into mentally stable adults.
>>483942490Wait what chest piece is that?
>>483942918>40 VIG>Claims he beat Radahn in less than 5 triesLying bitch lol, have you finished the DLC? We are talking about final boss Radahn not Caelid festival Radahn you lying cunt.
>>483942823i don't feel any particular way about your webms
>>483942918And then everyone clapped. >That anon's name? Albert Einstein.
>>483942450i want elden ring 2 but it's a parallell story and you play as Horah Loux following his own grace back to the Erdtree to meet the tarnished.it's like sekiro in that you're given horah loux's abilities and not making your own build
>>483942361Man made a career out of jump attacking Malenia with Moonveil in one hand, Rivers of Blood in the other
>>483943020I had a suspicion that was the case. It's a shame that the DLC apparently didn't add any new ones. A purple one for St. Trina could have been neat.
people aren't familiar with this weapon yet, so I was getting a lot of free hits like these. just tossing it out in neutral was very effective, and with good jump timings you could evade comets and shards while nailing the caster with an axe.
>>483943061She wasn't mentally stable herself so yeah...Also shit luck, all her children were cursed in some way.
>>483942970i care
>>483942823>prelate chest player with actual skill instead of genuinely broken shitH U H ?
>>483942586I was thinking that the smithscript axe would be pretty good. I used it for a while on Radahn, but the damage was disappointing relative to the utility. That matters less in PVP, though. It's like a feint attack that's actually practical.Speaking of which, that gives me an idea.
>>483942918>i fought Rellana with 7kek what the fuck.i fought rellana at scat level 0 and it took me maybe an hour. radahn took me 4 days at level 19
I genuinely and unironically hope whoever designed Radahn gets testicular tortion. Whoever had the biggest say in that is the reason souls is becoming complete fucking dogshit, and you know the next game is going to have at least four Radahns so they can say "haha we're the HARD company" when this fight is literally just a fucking chip damage slot machine
>>483941915>>483941960>>483941989>>483942082can you get banned with that mod at all, and are you supposed to use it offline only or what?nta btw
>>483943037I was level 59 when I beat the Caelid Godskin. Died a shitton before I started cheesing his second phase with sleep pots. Probably wasn't worth it, but man, I really wanted to see what was behind the golden fog the Godslayer was totally worth it.
>>483943290Any and all mods are played offline yea
the backwards jump throw has felt pretty good, but it requires prediction sometimes since you can't reliably jump things on reaction
>>483943290I read as long as you do everything offline, disable EAC, it's okay, and get safe itemsBut I've always heard slabs and ancient smithing stones were detected/flagged before, but I'm under the impression that instead of CE'ing them in, if you buy them through an NPC it's somehow more legit?
>>483942823>>483942586>>483943190i care, even though the arena isn't my thing. It's a shame that so many cool builds simply can't deal with modern invasions. Try the smithscript shield as well, even though it invalidates your off-hand. The L2 is so annoying that it's bound to hit every once in a while, and it's a good punish against casters.
>>483942535romina is especially out of place. don't know if i missed his lore or if miyazaki just forgot
>>483942586can you jump throw the axe in the off hand?
I'm going to be starting NG+ to get the other 2 endings I didn't get on my initial playthrough. I was playing STR/FTH and I want to mix it up, should I go into ARC or INT?
holy niggerdicks why wont miyazaki just let us farm titanite slabs and spirit summon flower slabs
>>483941915I literally cheat in items offline all the time. No, you won't get banned.
hi :3
>>483943309Damn sexy Griffith
How come Elden Ring doesn't have presetsWould love to have talisman+weapon+armor presets...
>>483943081dancer (altered)
What does a strfag use as his ranged option?
>>483943385You can't perform jump attacks or strong attacks with your off-hand, so no. That's what throws the axe.>>483943421Depends. ARC has a lot of variety, whereas INT requires you to be creative to enjoy the variety it offers, and it's much more engaging in PVP.
>>483941915Either pick mods or pvp/coop. Personally, I've never liked pvp because the netcode is jank as all fuck, so it was always an easy choice.
>>483943374I'm staying away from invasions until balance changes are made. Arena hasn't been too bad, you get the occasional guy who soft swaps to swift slash when they start losing, but overall people are just trying to use the fun new stuff and press the L2 button
>>483943146>Beat the fuck out of all your kids and ground them for 1 eternity>fuck your statuewife (sometimes husband)The Canon ending.
>>483941915I have a CE mule from 1.04 that I updated for the DLC and I am not banned after all this timeHOWEVER back during launch Grand Merchant got you banned,, not sure if they ever fixed what Grand merchant left behind that was detectable
>>483943478Greatbows and Jar Cannon duh.
>>483942106>>483943463I like how every "pretty" ER character uses headmorph 6
>>483943541>Gael that lowKill yourself
>>483943343poor dynastybro
>>483943576Sorry, I should have mentioned it's supposed to be a difficulty ranking
this was a really fun boss. also i fucking love ghiza's wheel, whenever i can get off a fully charged strong attack my dick gets hard
>>483943576most overrated reddit boss in the entire series man shut up
>>483943473Thanks
How do people use cheat engine and cheat in your way? For those who do, do you give yourself extra runes or items so you don't have to grind for them or do other stuff? Curious to see how far cheaters go in this game and what they do
THEY MADE MESSMER TOO ATTRACTIVE.
>>483942425dude weed lmaoo
>>483943463Hand it over, your thing, your sliders
>>483943541Malenia is incredible overrated desu, she is Midra tier at best. There is a thousands ways to turn her fight into a joke.
>>483943630t. anallerR
>>483942180Those people hanging out in Limgrave/Liurnia with zero enemies around sure are looking to enact their right to "self-defense" alright.
>>483943596Well now I feel like a piece of shit, fuck you!
>>483943385I wish. the great katana has a much better moveset to make use of, but the offhand attack is good enough for our purposes and the throwing gimmick is what I'm trying to make use of here.
>summon Igon>instantly get fucking obliterated by BayleMy shame is immense
>we dont even get to fight miquellacowards
>>483943596>isshin that highcome on now
>>483943691I'll try this out later, right now im building a frenzy redman
>>483943716>grab him and kill him in one single strike because he's a weak bitchWow so hard.
>>483943617I was on my way to farm runes to jumpstart a build then realized i could cut the mundanity of that out installed merchant, pumped runes then turned it off
>>483943654midra is easier to parry than gwyn. malenia has a way higher learning curve, especially blind.
>>483941915Basically the only thing in the game you can get banned for is if you have items you shouldn't have. And by that, I mean shit like Fia's Panties, i.e. error items or items not in the original game. That's it. So you can't have a Zweihander with Flaming Strike, but you can give yourself a +25 Zweihander with Sacred Blade or something. You could even just give yourself all the upgrade materials to make that weapon yourself including ashes.Whetstones are a bit iffy. I'm not sure how to add them. Though Grand Merchant and PVP Helper both add them in for you. But I can't seem to get it work through CE unless you use their specific unlocker. Which doesn't get you banned. But adding them yourself causes a weird error. Speaking of which, you can't get banned for that either unless you go online. So if you fuck up a character and give them an illegal item, just delete that character or revert the save. It's almost impossible to get banned in Elden Ring. There is a reason ER PVP on PC is FILLED with people spamming limited items or with 1000000 weapons of the same type.
>>483943654thats what makes her good
>>483942378Solid name on the other dude
LET ME THE FUCK OUT
>>483943760>grab him>he instantly charms you and now you want to be brutally powerbottomed by him>in addition to being completely obeisant >he immediately tasks you with killing everyone left alive in the shadow realm and within the roundtable hold
>>483943653I stole them and changed it very slightly for my own needs, is that alright?
>>483943716Yeah, he being Radahn backpack is pretty meh.
>>483943858sure
>>483943603You have no idea how frustrating it is watching people who don't realize you're supposed to jump that breath attack, Good work.
>>483943617They’ll cheat in 99 of all consumable/craftables/ammunition to bypass farming them so you get shit like shotgun crossbow sleepbolt that’s unavoidable
>>483943654malenia and consort radahn are the only times I've ever had to do research on how to avoid a move versus just playing the game and figuring it out
>>483943603Now that's a lot of damage.
>>483943617ng+1 unlock all itemsstart having fun
>>483943309What is the meme with him using a phone?
>>483943846Whoops, you're gay now
>AFK'ing in St. Trina's room while I do my end of DLC checklistWait a minute, this music is great. Honestly, almost all of the DLC music is fantastic. I don't know who composed it, but they did a good job.
>>483943716Post ending-cutscene they should have let us do the manlet backstab on child Miquella.
>>483943760you've obviously never read the material he's so blatantly inspired by

>>483943894Lemme make a pastebin rq.
>2>2 fucking years they had to address chainsaw>it still existsThey actually can’t fix it. That’s hilarious
>>483943654Yep she is fragile as fuck, once you learn how to dodge THAT attack the fight is over.
I wish the heart stolen grab was more prevalent and harder to dodge because it is really funny. Heart stolen could've totally been the meme of the DLC.
>>483944001it's a hentai trope, mind control app on his phone
>>483944006I'll suck his dick if he stops spamming the retarded guaranteed damage double swipe into grabbing 2 times in a row
>>483944001hypno porn thing.
>>483943617have all 10 character slots with every starting class PvP ready so then I just theory craft a weapon and level range with the optimizer and then just copy paste or override the save file when im done.
How do you get to the southern part of the dlc map?
>>483944015Yeah, none of the base game music really stuck out to me on my first playthrough, but the DLC knocked it out of the park.>>483944073Roll left.
>>483944015https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oBQliFaUMG8It only starts 50s in, which is strange because you're not liable to spend that long in the area.
>>483944021Griffith is a Dexfag and still has some muscle despite being a twink. Miquella is literally just a gay shota with magic powers.You can't even make him like 15 feet tall like Rennala to emphasize his power since the whole point is that he has the body of a child.
>>483944120Post a picture of your in-game map, anon. You're not being very specific.
>>483943541Gehrman, Maria, and Laurence shouldn't even be on here, they weren't hard at all. Midir should be lower. Isshin should be lower too. Bayle shouldn't be on here either desu, he was a joke.
>>483944042waterfowl is so infamous that it's probably the only boss attack known by name other than nihil, and that one is only known because he says it out loud.
why it was necessary to use the body of Mogh to insert the soul of Radahn?why not Morgott?why not Malenia? or even Godrick, he was still a shard bearer I don't really see the logic on miquella's planwhy choose radahn? and don't reply me with some degenerate sexual reason why did miyasakey took the story into this?
>>483943541>Radahn SSSYou made your bait too obvious.
>>483941957>>483943665It doesn't matter how you want to spin it, as the invader you are inherently the aggressor and no one owes you shit. I assure you if in any game with open world PvP you saw 3 guys doing quests together and tried to attack one and they all kicked your shit in and you started going on about how they should've 1v1'd you you'd get laughed at in that community as well.
What are the 3 skibidi I'm most likely to have missed? I'd like to wrap this up with a nice little bow and the level 19 blessing is bothering me.
Reminder, if Mohg didn't want to get raped he should have worn such slutty clothing.t. Miquella
>>483942823>Sleep-pvper named Cosby
>>483944191He needed Mohg to get into the shadow realm so he just also made use of Mohg's corpse
>>483944205Pot hollows, most likely.
>>483944138>Roll leftSo that's why I couldn't do it. I'm a right roller.
>>483944174
>>483944073Rolling left doesn't save you unless you're already rolling. Even all the no-hit runners have said it can't be reliably dodged
>>483944204>and they all kicked your shit in and you started going on about how they should've 1v1'd you you'd get laughed at in that community as well.Even doe I'm completely 100% in the right.
>>483944264
>>483944264Have you unlocked the Shadow Keep?
>>483944018should have had an old king deal, with a cripple miquella hidden somewhere and he flails around at us doing 1 point per damage.
>>483944120try going here
>>483944015>>483944138Base game OST was done by some no talent bitch who got fired. DLC was probably done by Kota Hoshino, notorious for making absolute bangers in Armored Core since the PS1 days.
>>483944254Yeah it baits you to roll right because you want to roll through the first slash, but the second slash is so fast you'll just be rolling with it.
>killed radahn(with perfumes)>watched a memory of miquella saying something that I forgot because his feets were distracting meNow what? I think i did everything else. Kinda of a lame ending, is there anything new in the normal main map?
>>483944282Meant for>>483944138And also >>483944254 I guess
>>483944317yeah
How are the following weapons performing nowadays?>Fire Monk Greatsword>Horned Warrior Curved GS>Jolan's not-Darkdrift>Throwing Claws
>for 2 years people debate over why malenia and radahn fought>it's just because miquella wants radahn as his consortI should have never cared about the lore in this shit
>>483944403
>>483944021Well who was he based off? Don't say Griffith. Atleast before the DLC there wan't alot Griffith in him.
I think the one thing I could do without is the dlc bosses having a chance of just INSTANTLY charging you the second you enter their arenas.
>>483944381idk, it worked for me the few times I didn't block or parry it.
>>483943617I play through everything and collect everything properly the first time, then I just make a low level character with all the armour/weapons through the merchant mod and fuck around in coop with roleplay builds
>>483944191Maybe he needed a hornsent (omen) of sufficient power to open the way and Morgott would have kicked his shit in so he went with Mohg.
>>483944482Yeah it's pure luck.
>>483944412I don’t know about the first two but the night stuff is ok. Just ok
>>483944412>still has nothing of value>i don't know, it's basically the good CGS moveset but with stormcaller on crack, you'd have to check how effective the damage is relative to regular stormcaller on a comparable CGS>no idea, but i imagine the lack of hyper armor on the L2 hurts it>annoying as fuck with scattershot and status
>>483944213#justiceformohg
>>483943716I agree
>>483944425That isn't why they fought
>>483944471Probably made to counter magic cheese, still sucks.
>>483944412>>Fire Monk GreatswordThis doesn't exist. Do you mean the Fire KNIGHT GS? Because it's very strong. Best UGS.>>Horned Warrior Curved GSNobody is touching that thing.>>Jolan's not-DarkdriftWorthless, does no damage.>>Throwing ClawsMostly a meme. The ash is just a better Bestial Sling which is cute but aside from that they're useless.
You guys use any visual mods for Elden Ring.I personally can't believe how there's zero Torrent armors. I know he's an afterthought to FROM but come on...I'm using a White Torrent mod, personally
Which weapons are the most fun to powerstance?
>>483944314>fully modeled
Blinkbolt should let you pick a direction during the start up, or at least have a followup attack
>>483944507idk about that.
>>483944242>He needed Mohg to get into the shadow realmany explanation or elaboration on this in-game?
>>483943760And Malenia is a woman
>>483944574The one that's a pain to farm, i think it drops from a single fire monk in a Mountaintops Catacomb
Throwing some rocks
>>483944581Daggers. Don't let anyone tell you otherwise.
>>483944581Curved swords and whips, whips are shit though so use curved swords.>>483944630Oh so the Monk's Flameblade? It's useless, arguably the worst CGS.
>>483941805Instead of Vaar, Ansbach come and recuit you at the start of the gameWhat is your response?
>>483944314>>483944338>>483944435ty
>>483944015Messmer, Bayle, and Romina are so fucking good
>>483944581Daggers, axes, curved swords, whips, curved great swords, light greatswords and halberds.
>>483944601I'd say the first four people who uploaded no hit runs and all said the same shit in their comments know better than you lol
>>483943760yes. they should have let us finish him off like the manipulative piece of shit he is.
>>483944760>light greatswordsThose are dog shit to powerstance
>summoned twice now by hostfags who try to hide on the other side of the boss room for Romina>one fucker summoned me a second time despite me actively leading Romina to him and severing while he was trying to jump on flowers out of reachI genuinely don’t get how people like this exist. If you’re being filtered i understand being hesitant and wanting help but what on gods green earth is the mentality in letting other people fight the boss for you? What makes one think that others will also just be on board for that shit?
Isn't the Shadow lands already a giant afterlife purgatory? why we can't we meet any of the dead npcs from the main game hereit would have been cool to talk with the defeated shard bearers
>>483944784idk my guy. worked on my machine
>>483944708>useless what the fuck why are the coolest looking/annying to obtain weapons worst in class how about Ansbach's scythe or Midra sword
>>483944836Hold up, hold up.. Let me solo her
>>483944837>Isn't the Shadow lands already a giant afterlife purgatory?God you people are stupid
>>483944734sit the fuck up lucifer
>>483944819Most fun not most effective for meta slaving niggers.
>>483944837it's marika's dumping ground and you don't have access to gate of divinity to just half talkies with souls nor a supply of omen bodies to shove the spirits into
>>483943853>obeisantamerican?
>>483944731I'd agree. Ansbach is the best npc in the game
>>483944581curved swords feel so sexythe jump attacks, the spins, the mixed dodgeloved it
>>483944819they're funcope
>>483943541Redpill: Bayle, Messmer and Rellana are harder than Malenia
>>483944924I'm talking about fun. They feel like SHIT.>>483944965Nah they're awful, feels horrible. They fucked up.
>Radahn just decides not to do the giant aoe nuke at the start for 7 straight attacks so I have to constantly play differently knowing if I do literally anything he could start it and I can't get out in time>he just kills me with gay light showlol
weekend fc tomorrow?
Are the Heirloom Talismans worth it in general?I have 75 faith and I don't wanna lose 5 vigor to go for 80 so it seems like a nice fit, but I'm not sure if its worth losing the talisman slot. Although honestly not sure what to run in that talisman slot anyway
>>483944894Claws of night L2 is great for big bosses. Sword of night needs A scaling or something it’s just mid

I don't give a rat ass if you're the host/phantom/invader/duelist. If you are a faggot trying to sweat. That's straight up toxic and you don't belong in MY game. That's why Miyasucky invented the block feature mattering in all his games. Get your ass banned forever from my world dipshit I am god of my adventure now proceed to cry about how I'm the lesser player or some mundane shit abour gitting gud. I ban (You)
Anons lets be honest how many of you think Fromsoft actually know a timeline or the event that happened with Miquella's story. Because I think they a now fucking clue.Messmer and Marika yeah they knew what they were doing.Miquella? Just some randome vague shit.
>>483944984Messmer and Rellana for sure are
lollmaohttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=N68yTvbnOJk
You know what's the wrost thing about Radahn?At some point most barely die or even take damage during phase 1 while phase 2 is at least 20x the difficulty of the first phase. This is just bad boss design in general.In contrast Messmer is a good example of how it's actually done.
What even happened in this dlc lore wise?
>>483944960Its actually make me think about itVarre being your recuiter actually setup what your thought about Mogh cult>VarreYou would be instant recognize it as death cult, with Varre as standard>AnsbachIt would come of as a twist, where you thought them as normal guild, only revealed that as a death cult
>just swapping bow from hand to hand before he disappears>can still hear it afterwardsI like this guy a lot.
>>483945116messmer phase 2 is easier than 1 though
>>483944734part 2
>>483945058mustache Leda doing a :0 face
>>483944960Thiollier > Ansbach
i miss them
>>483945070hey where did you find this goblin?
Will I ever get any better at fromsoft games?
>>483945017Heirloom talismans are for twinking or for boosting stats high enough to cast a buff before taking them off. Using them at endgame is retarded.>>483944894>Ansbach's scytheObsidian Lamina has the highest achievable AR of any physical scythe and comes with modest ARC scaling for bleed. Get 45 ARC and dump the rest into DEX and liberally use the ash to dodge, it's phenomenal.>Midra swordReally strong in PvP, dunno about PvE but it's probably serviceable.
>>483945090Weirdest part about ER lore for me is that GRRM claimed the beginning of the story takes place around thousands of years ago, while in game it feels more like a few decades at most. >>483945165Depends. In terms of combos and opportunities to attack sure, but phase 2 has more attacks than can instantly kill you if you're not careful.
>>483944435I got no clue how to get around here.
>burn 50 rotbone arrows on a boss attempt>host dies in a stupid way as soon as they get afflictedI really need to stop trying to use the limited availability arrows in co-op
>>483945207depends on how long you play them. these games are 80% knowledge
>>483945116kek. by the end i was doing no-hit runs on phase 1 and then getting instantly nuked phase 2
>>483944910That Reddit fucker definitely led to an upsurge of lazy shitters but I refuse to believe he’s the sole cause of this. That aside I’d expect that behavior for one of the actual filter bosses like Rellana or Radahn, not Romina who folds like a bad poker hand the second you bring frost into the fight.
>>483944191its kind of funny how every demigod's body was accounted for after killing them, except for mohg's, which i guess was supposed to be foreshadowing
>>483945225>while in game it feels more like a few decades at most.The Shattering could have happened last week, really.
>>483945116You could say that about a ton of bosses. Who the fuck is going to die to Isshin phase 1 when it's still Genshin? Who the fuck is going to die to Elfriede phase 1 when it's just her and her lame scythe swings? Who the fuck is going to die to Gascoigne phase 1 when you can just mash down his human form and dodge when he tries to hyper armor out?It's always just been a dice roll with boss quality when it comes to From. You very rarely get a boss with all phases being consistent in difficulty or quality.
>>483945207Lies of P and Sekiro i found to be good measuring sticks in terms of your skills in souls/soulslike games. If you can't do the parry timings right you know you're trash. >>483945305Like Godrick is very weird since it's implied that he's like at least 5 pegs down the golden lineage while at the same time he was involved during the early days of the shattering. It could LITERALLY have been last week.
>>483945098that's a lot of cringe in one video
>>483945236
>>483945242Pure archer players (are there even any?) are kind of fucked in terms of arrows/bolts availability. When I was cooping on archer rp character I CE'd all that shit in no shame
>>483944498>Morgott would have kicked his shit in so he went with Mohg.That actually makes sense the more I think about it. Morgott had a massive hard-on for the GE and considered Miquella a traitor so he’d have flipped his shit. Additionally him being able to resist the formless mother until he was half dead means he probably could’ve shrugged off the brain rape attempt.
>>483941805What would a Melina ending look like?
>>483945116Messmer phase 1 took me a bunch of attempts and phase 2 took two. The snake is telegraphs are obvious af and give you way more openings.
>>483945275Probably just unfortunate matchmaking, I've been cooping like crazy and most if not all people seem to honestly try, lot of them too much for their own good - haven't seen this many hosts eating dirt in a while, even on easier bosses like Romina
>>483942450I really wish the series had an actual lore book with the real story and not just headcanons galore that run rampant among lorefags.Like I got the Book of Knowledge they sold, but its literally just a fucking game guide.
>>483945305>spreads like a fucking contagion in about a week
radahn's only problem is that he just does too much damage. everything else is fine
>>483945423you can buy infinite golden arrows and the ingredients for infinite bloodbone arrows, which is all you really need, but it's still an annoyance that the especially good effects (sleep and rot) are both limited and have to be farmed for
Is the catalyst int weapon bugged?It deals like no damage with spells.
>>483945546What makes Messmer an infinitely better boss than Radahn is that at some point you actually feel like you mastered Messmer's combos and all it's variations. Yet when it comes Radahn and the clips i've seen of people beating him it mostly comes down to luck of the draw in terms of what moves he pulls from his ass and the sequence in which they occur.
>>483945613>I really wish the series had an actual lore bookthat would require there to be actual lore behind the game>b-but GRRM wrote a setting book1. Forgotten Realms setting books suck donkey cock2. the japs can and will lie to save face
>>483945070Based and respectpilled.
I'm so good at this gameredfags are shit and coping and I beat them as a gold or bluebro because I am more skilled
>>483945490>how I’d want itYou overlooking an adoring crowd from atop a balcony as content looking and heavily pregnant Melina holds your hand>how it’d likely play out A recolor of the normal ending with her stoically standing at your side while you sit on the throne since Miyazaki wouldn’t want to be bothered putting the same effort in for her that he did for Ranni
>>483945152All I could think of when he started doing it: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WqacyIaq27o
>>483945423if you're a coliseum fag you can easily play pure archer now that they've made any items you consume get returned to youansbach's bow + sleep arrows + blood arrows is basically a free execution as soon as sleep procs
>>483945225Wasn't it 5000 years? Do we actually know if the wars happened right after the shattering? I like to think they tried to maintain order for a while.
>>483945613should've just had some tie-in novels, those used to be everywhere. ghostwrite em and put grrm's name on it
Man people are really underestimating Messmer for co-opBeen trying to sunbro him for like 2 hours and most hosts are still single digit skibidis and deal fuck-all damage.
>>483945617How about the eye cancer you develop from all the lightning show?
>>483945617The problem is that I can't see what the fuck is going onRemove the faggot holy beams that trigger after every attack and he would be far more tolerable>>483945674Yeah, hopefully they'll fix it Soon™
Messmer's homing flame bolt thing is the new cancer in arenaeven with the smallest amount of lag it hits you
>>483945693fatty
>>483945693well played dude, fucking got his ass - strongest invader right there
>>483945680People are dying to Radahn's phase 1 combos in phase 2 because they freak out at the lights.
>>483945775>>483945776doesnt matter if you dont really take that much damage from any of it
they deserved better
Be real with me bros. Will i get fucked if i use Creamapi for the dlc?
>>483944191I don't see how miquella could get to Morgott. He uses projections while staying inside Leyndell which successfully defeated anyone who attacked.
>>483945674>>483945776It's not bugged, it just sucks balls.
>>483945552>lot of them too much for their own goodI can at least respect those that do even if they make a stupid mistake because by god at least they show that they want to earn the win. What I can’t stand is people that don’t want to put in work for the reward.
>>483945745This change basically doomed arena the crossbow that fires like a shotgun is unavoidable sleep procs
>>483945771I turned him off for coop for now, too many people getting 100-0'd in a grab, got bored of it eventually
>>483945283>Godwyn turns into dead fish the destroyer of worlds>Morgott dry and old turns into dust>Melinabasically a ghost>Ranni burned to a crisp, also no rune>Maleniaflower>Rykard wife eats him>Godrickturned into pickle godrick >Radahnrotted to the bone ???huh look at that, maybe you're right
>>483945837
>>483943716He's a child
>>483945770at least we have the based manga.
How much vig do I need to try and sekiro parry against Radahn?
>>483941915you can give yourself everything except key/run limited items like seeds and stuff
>>483945830There's one that's quite trick. It's combo he does he pulls the right slash > Double slashes > Overhead slash into the ground. During phase one you get ample time to position yourself behind him however during phase you get blasted by the lights at an awkward window.
>>48394600560
It would actually be giga kino if it was godrick instead of redditahn.
Lol why people hating on fingerprint. This shit got nerfed for status build up and offensive wise pretty shit. Still fucking useful though for elemental infused offering 95+% reductNot that it matters in pvp since curved weps bypass blocking anyway and very easy to break guard
>>483945912It’s still pretty funny to watch for me. That and people who try and fight BAAAAAYLE only to get grabbed and flatlined.
What damage type is Ghostflame? Do I need to use Spelldrake to protect from magic? Or is it fire? Or is it like the black flame where it's actually holy.
If Mohg was enchanted by Miquella, does that explain why it was Varré waiting outside to guide and recruit any new Tarnished emerging from the crypt? Miquella calls us his "loyal blade, and champion of the festival", we got his former steed Torrent and his Spirit-Calling Bell through Ranni, and Varré is right there as a helpful guide to send us on the path that would ultimately lead us to slaying Mohg. He may not have been prepared for us specifically, but it certainly seems like he orchestrated things so that a tarnished would arrive at that point.
huh look at that
>ha ha funny tibia mariner >look around>where's his summons?>start hitting the mariner>get 100 to 0 slap combo'd alright fuck off
>>483946025>"Lowly tarnished, at last i've returned... to our home bathed in gold.">"Now i've truly become... Godrick the Golden!"Kino
>>483946057its magic and black flame is fire
>>483946057Yep death flame is magic and frost together
>>483946032People hate that everyone and their mother uses it to just brute force boss fights now rather than actually learning the boss or collecting skibidis to eat more hits.
>>483946057It deals Frostbite.
>>483946025>>483946093The DLC should have had a twin Grafted duo fight with Godrick and Godefroy.
This game is pretty good. I think I was disappointed when it released that it was Dark Souls IV and I may have said some nasty things at the time and I'm sorry
>>483946079and let the feast begin
>>483946060That makes sense!
>>483946097>black flame is fireFucking Fextralife. They told me Maliketh dealt physical and holy damage so I assumed blackflame was holy.
>>483942225>wants to create a sad image>makes her naked soles visible
>>483946085I had a high rated message warning people about monstrosity therefore healing but it disappeared out of nowhere. Is there a limit to how many you can write?
Imagine if it had been Malenia instead of Radahn.
>>483945832The beams could do 1 point of damage and they would still be fucking aids. In phase 1 you can get some counter attacks in during some of his combos and it's actually a pretty fun fight, but in the second phase you can't do that anymore because you'll get staggered by the beams and hit by the following attack. Your only option is to shieldpoke or rollslop for 20 seconds before it's your turn to do one attack.
Suck me off you gay trap. I refused to change my build for this fag and I feel hollow because I could have done this 5 hours ago with a weapon that could even stagger the boss
>>483946158It's okay lil squishy, it's the internet, everyone can be a little inflammatory at times plus like there's s timy bit of validity to that
>>483946079Dios mio, sopa de escorpião
>>48394617610 messages. You can protect up to 3 iirc
>>483942339Chicken wing does a shitload of damage.
>>483946168Did you want them to invent shoes for her? That's just what she looks like
>>483946180just as poorly designed but with scarlet rot too? no thanks
>>483946079scorpions are unironically delicious irl. one of the very few genuinely edible bugs. their chitin is virtually tasteless and quite crunchy but they have a very abnormal amount of muscle tissue for their size>>483946167you're extremely confused. black flame and rune of death are two completely separate things. the latter is holy, black flame is fire damage that deals percentage max health damage
I used fingerprint+mohgwyn spear+Mimic to "brute force" Miquella in Ng+7. No shame btw. This boss is insane.
>>483946264but it makes me horny, not sad
I assume this is the result of From's spaghetti code attempt to move all the bloodstains around St. Trina out of the map.
So is 50/50 fine for a DEX/FTH build? I was considering 60 DEX/50 FTH instead to make better use of armament incants but that leaves me a bit point starved.
>>483946093>your death in phase one“At last I feel the pride of my forefathers”>your death in phase two “Thou has’t played would be lord long enough, KNEEL”
>>483946113Beats retards trying to dodge bosses and die before second phase
>>483946180It would have been much worse. Base game Radahn is alot fairer than malenia
What sword/armor are these?
>>483942225We all agree.
>>483946205or parry. the long overhead swipe is easy, the sidestep is always followed by the fast attack, and you can block the fast attack and parry the followup. not that hard to parry the mohg stab either but you don't have to.
>>483946242you can definitely write more than 10 because i have dozens of messages sprawled throughout the world that i can delete (so they're mine, obviously) but you are correct in that only that many can be displayed in your messages interface. also i get healed fucking constantly by upboats
>>483946273Lorewise they’re the same so it’s a bit stupid
>>483946346
>Miquella revived Malenia using Mohg's body>she now has actual poise
>>483946153pure quinoa
>killed someone in arena with the giant fire bombgod the new pots are great
>>483946060it's plausible, on his original beta testing dialogue, he was much hostile, he says "go die in a hole retard" or somethingor maybe becuase devs were too afraid to scare new players, with such a creepy chracter, so they decided best to make him guide you on the way to the first shard bearer after that he does become a sadistic asshole formless mother edgelord
>>483946382No way
>>483946273My understanding was that the black flames Maliketh used from the Rune of Death were the same percentage dealing damage/black flames that Godskins and Black knives used since the Rune of Death originally belonged to Gloam Eyed Queen, the queen of the godskins hence their black flames, then Maliketh got it and suddenly could use blackflames, then Ranni stole the rune of death and fashioned black knives for the Black Knife Assassins to kill Godwyn with. My assumption was that all blackflames were rune of death therefore if Maliketh dealt holy damage (according to Fextra) all black flames were holy.
A Tarnished/Hunter/Undead/Ashen One just killed you. In your dying breath who do you beg forgiveness from?
>>483946180would have been worse IMObase game Radahn is fun to fight, Melania isn't
>>483946369flame k***ht
>>483946369Fire knight greatsword and armor, pelt of ralva helmet
>>483946369Fire knight armor, pelt of Ralva, fire knight’s greatsword (aka the best goddamn colossal sword)
>>483946451No they didnt
>>483946412Futa Malenia that can use orbital divine lazors? Lets fucking goooo.
>>483946447>use black flame attacks on miranda flower>it REEs and starts flailing around like a retard
>>483946397Oh okay that's why I was confused. I knew they were all the from the rune of death so I thought since Maliketh dealt holy, all black flames were holy.
>>483946079>missed the chance to get soup from Grandam>can’t even kill her for a bellbearing FUCK.
>>483946180>Malenia cured of the Rot and limbs and eyes restored>"Dearest brother, finally reunited...">"Flee now Tarnished, for thee face Malenia the Unsevered, Consort of Miquella, and WE have never known defeat."pure kino.
>>483946486You can cancel the stagger animation by shieldpoking.
>>483946486lmao get wrecked idiot
>>483946486Did you rike it?Run away and jump just as he slams the ground
I think today I will write about Miquella and self harm
>>483946486of all the bullshit in this fight that attack is pretty easy to avoid, just jump away
>>483946486Deserved for using a shield
>>483946486roll nigga
>>483946486Jump
>>483946451myself.
>>483946562I think the realization that like 90% of are attacks can be really trivialize by jumping in my third playthrough was the biggest kike paradigm shift in how the game went for me
>if Miquella revived Bayle or Placidusax at full power and rode them
>>483946486That attack unironically becomes his weakness if you have a shield. You can let him pull you in while blocking then stab him from behind the shield with a maxed out Blood Sword Lance and deal massive damage to him while protected.Unironically armor and shield poking is the best counter to Radahn, especially if you have the sword lance.

>>483946676Its over...
>>483927937Both, the Omen horns just only attract hostile spirits rather than guiding ones.
There should've been a segment where you go back in time to right as Radagon is busting inside himself and you team up with various sperm to stop Miquella from being the one to inseminate the egg but he succeeds anyways so you have to fight him in 3 stages as he slowly coalesces into a fetus
>missed the Moore questline >decide to kill him to see if the armor drops>talk to him one last time to see if he says anything interesting first>tells me how no one but me visits him now>mfwGoddamnit Miyazaki you just had to make him too pitiful to kill didn’t you.

>>483946837pvpers are niggers what do you expect
I beat Radahn properly (with a build that definitely wasn't good for him) while rot breath + mimicking everything else in the game that I felt was cheesyThis is true autism
>>483946837Just block people dumbass. I block plenty and still find normal people to play? I don't block because I lose or win it's very clear when you meet people just trying to make your playthrough miserable
>>483946798To be fair I was using a tank build before the DLC way back in 2022 with Bullgoat + Finger Print + blood Cross Naginata or Serpent spear while everyone else was being rivers of blood faggots.Now suddenly the enemies are more aggressive but can all be blocked and bled and suddenly everyone uses the build I always used.
>>483946793Wouldn't work anyway. When you attack Miquella-related NPCs they disappear and reappear after you sit at a grace.
>>483946859what the fuck that actually sounds cool
>>483946834>the amount of off the beaten path runes or low tier smithing stonesIT'S JUST LIKE BLOODBORNE OH BOOOOY
>>483946180That would mean Malenia would have needed to be mandatory for the dlc...But honestly it would make more sense, and though the fight would have probably been harder I'd have liked it more
I guess i cannot use the online if i unlock it with creamAPI?
>>483946859>>GODOFRICK THE GRAFTMEISTERABSOLUTE CINEMA
>>483946536Yeah it’s just because they made the black flame thing so they wanted to stick with that. Honestly black blade should’ve done fire damage too
>>483947010what is the >Arteria Leaf of the DLC? Is it random cookbooks?
Marika's tits, you must be hungry.
>every single NPC dies at the end of the fucking gamegee thanks mitsubishi,
Is it just me or do the legacy dungeons and area have wayyyy less like side paths than vanilla? It seems like it's all pretty linear and instantly just merges back into the path to the boss.Or I'm just missing them
Doing a 2nd DLC run, does breaking the seal early fuck up any quests? Or can I just break the seal but not enter Messmer's room?
>>483946859>MORTY I GRAFTED MYSELF INTO A BOSS>I'M GODOFRIIIIIIIIIIICK
>>483947129shadow keep is the only good dungeon
>gaols in the DLC are places for Shamans only>shamans are made into jars here and overworked>this is the Twins' descriptionSo, I have now the ashes of two Shamans
>>483947129Yeah the layouts are pretty linear and they're all pretty short except Shadow Keep
I stopped feeling bad for Moore the second his fat ass began chucking scarlet rot pots at me during the final battle. He got exactly what he fucking deserved.
>>483947097CHADtches will never die albeit.
>>483944191it's a stupid story, but there's nothing we can do. In the main game the items required to make bewitching branch often grew around Mohg's blood-related areas. So it seems there's something magical and useful about the cursed blood.
>>483945613The gag manga is the real story.
>>483946862Someone should give Boc a sword
>>483946553>Waterfowl with miquella's light AoEs
>>483946398
Uchigatana or Nagakiba?Uchi is like 10% faster attacks but Nagakiba is pretty longer
>>483947050Yea, you'll have to stay offline
>>483947257Aseo is too based for the actual game
Stormveil castle still the reigning defending legacy dungeon champion of the world
>>483947135You should speak with all the NPCs before you break the seal, and do Moore and Thiollier's black poison stuff if you want to date drape Florissex
>>483947302I like Uchigatana because it's light enough to wield one handed at base STR for most classes.
Anyone try lions claw spam with giant crusher on the hardest dlc bosses? Its still so busted and braindead I'm hesitant to use it.
>>483947302>10%Same speed.
>>483945914>>Radahn>rotted to the bone ???Radahn's real remains get stuffed into Alexander's jar
>>483947290I dont really like this meme...
>>483947072Furnace Visages?
Where is the sekiro tear?
slow these damn threads down
>>483947217I like how broken his build is pvp wise it means from knows and just hates us
>>483946486He just thinks that move is cool
>>483947302Nagakiba bro
>>483947348I swear uchi is faster!
Why do I always wind up coming back to the Claymore?
What would be the worst combination of Miquella and another boss you can think of?
I get paid in a few days and finally get to pick up the dlc. Without spoilers, is pyromancy good yet in the dlc? They really made it shit in the base game, and it was my favorite build in previous fromsoft games. Hoping they learned from their mistakes..
>>483947385I'm still pissed he didn't use a bow in this fight.
>>483947071I just checked and the Godskins do fire but the Black knives and Maliketh do holy. Huh. But they're all the same source..."The apostles, once said to serve Destined Death, are wielders of the god-slaying black flame. But after their defeat by Maliketh, the Black Blade, the source of their power was sealed away."Maybe the black flame is the "sealed away" version of destined death then, and Black Knives do holy like Maliketh because they're made directly from the Rune of Death which Maliketh uses.
Beat the DLC, feed me with your (You)s.
>>483947461you could just pirate the DLC
anyone tried raptor of the mists on radahn?
>>483947450Why? It sucks dick.
>>483947456Jori
>>483947461>is pyromancy good yetsorry lad
>>483947129The Legacy Dungeons aside from Enir Ilim were pretty mediocre.
>>483947456Great Rune Bear
>>483945613the headcannon is the only thing Miyazaki will allow. We will never know so just make up something you like.Honestly I'm really wonder what the fucking family dynamic inside Marika's golden family. With mongrels, monsters, eternal shota and other messed up shit. That's only the demigods how many bastards are out there?
>>483947461theres alot of fire incantations this dlc, hell you even get some pure dex fire stuff and the fire knight greatsword is a farmable sword thats supposedly super fucking busted.
>>483947461let's say they add a bunch of fire themed weapons, and a handful of fire related spells, they are okay, nothing too crazy
>>483947469Would be stupid considering he can call down holy airstrikes and throw holy waves that one shot 90% of players.
>>483947498>Rellana under MaleniaReally gotta hear your reasoning on this.
Any good curved swords in the DLC?
>>483947489Pretty sure the power of black flame is what got sealed into the rune of death. Black flame could kill gods and Marika wanted to be immortal, so she made Maliketh beat GEQ and take black flame to seal it away. Doesn’t really make sense it’s holy damage tbqh.
>>483945090they didn't know with messmer, suddenly he knew Radahn very well
>>483947565>Jori spamming clones that spam light AOEs and have Miquellas attached to themJesus
>>483947498Malenia has the one move that's bullshit, lower her down to Sister Friede's levelElden Beast is no longer a gimmick boss, horses are allowed nowActually a bunch of these are stupid, we really going to say that Dancing Lion is a faceroll?
>>483947461>game trailer shows a lot of fire based themes>”is pyromancy good yet”I admire your optimism anon but come on now
It's easy to list the things the DLC did poorly but what did it do good
>>483947456Senessax
>>483947450I di too, ita my comfort weapon.I think because it's super reliable. R1 will always do the same type of swing every time, the combo is like just swinging the sword normally, it's not like a slash then a spin., its a slash, slash, slash, exactly the same.Then like the fact that the R2 is a good utility because it's a stab which a lot of R2s on other swords aren'tIt's rare to have both of those qualities in one weapon.I just wish like the claymore had more ways to like use it with other builds like bleed and intelligence and stuff
>>483947183One shaman and one puppet
>>483947631nta but Rellana is a patience test, not actually hardalso depends on buildif you can throw lightning bolts at her she's easy
>>483946495They used a parry build and no ashes. Yes they did.
>>483947456Maliketh
>>483947736Not me
>>483947498Demon of Hatred was my favorite boss of that game, straight, honest and challenging you dislike it because it was a dark souls boss in sekiro
>>483947538What's a better quality build weapon? I'm looking at this Bloodhound's Fang thing
>>483947450All the dlc weapons are neat but I have the same issue with going back to main game weapons because they're not overly flashy and get the job done.
your thoughts on the martial arts weapons?
>>483947461No anon. You want fire, just use blasphemous blade
>>483947498>Taurus Demon>harder than Metyr and Dancing Lion
>>483947331Haligtree and Farum Azula are better.
>>483947804hard to use
>>483947456Hoarah Loux. But it would also be a goddamn spectacle.>shadowclone aoe stomps with lasers>grapple has a dozen clones fling you higher into the air until he slams you down with an explosion>earthshaker now has a blast that comes out at jump height so you can only roll to avoid it
What's the best cheap ranged FTH nuke? Just came back to my STR/FTH char and it has black flame orb lol, doesn't seem too good
miquella and malenia shotadom...
What's the difference when using Wild strikes with a one-handed weapon compared to a two-handed weapon?
>>483947331True!!!!
>>483947710so how does this not apply to malenia
Fat Miquella
>>483947456My penisIt would be too hard for anyone to handle.
>>483947498jesus never post your dogshit opinion ever again
>>483947826>haligtreelollmao even
>>483944731Varre is being brainwashed by Miquella when he's talking to you funnily enough (everyone working for Mogh is).
>>483947302>Uchi is like 10% faster attacksAnon they're the same speed. You only use Uchi instead if your build can't afford the stats for the nagakiba for whatever reason or you're powerstancing with another short katana.
at the last boss door. dlc was fun. the dungeons were cute but i dont think i struggled in any of them. bosses were fun. lots of broken weapons to have fun with. weakest part was the questlines. i was constantly irritated that something broke the quest.
Not as kino as Igon/Bayle but maybe halfway, would probably be the highlight of the DLC if not for that blowing it out of the water.
>>483947851>Hoarah Louxs chaining throws to get you high enough you're up above the Erdtree>power fucking bombs you with more and more Hoarah Louxs jumping on as you descend
>>483947894concession accepted
>>483947649My understanding was the rune of death was sealed into Maliketh's body. Holy sort of makes sense if you believe the Melina is the Gloam Eyed Queen theory since she uses holy weapons to fight and has holy magic, particularly because the beast eye that Maliketh gives you to find Deathroots for his Rune of Death looks just like the eye Melina is missing that she gets back in the Frenzied Flame ending. If you consider that she was a daughter of Marika that uses holy weapons and Rune of Death was her's, then holy is justifiable and it could be argued black flame was what was left afterwards.
I actually like the catacomb and miner cave dungeons. I like exploring and solving puzzles while fighting. Ive only found the ice place so far and the dragon man, are there any more to look out for?
>>483947456Maliketh 100%, he's already a seizure inducing slop AOE spam fight.
What's the best melee INT weapon?Moonveil? Moonlight Greatsword? Something else?
>>483946859kino
>>483947665WHAT? You can use horses at Elden Beast now? I wish I had that back in 2022 so I didnt' have to run 10 fucking miles a fight.
>>483947804The poise on the palm blast is insane and it hits like a truck.
>>483947456Miquella and the revenant The fucking revenant I fucking hate revenants

how do i get to the unexplored areas if i try to run to them using the map i get either rocks that are too high to climb or its too high to jump down
>>483948030moonlight gs
>>483947498What's funny about the Malenia and Radahn being the top bosses is both of them can be one one shot out of each phase. Meaning they can both be killed in two hits.
is int just completely fucked this DLC
>>483946859Why do I want this so bad?
>>483947072high tier gloveworts and somber stones
>use rotten winged>use millicents prothesis>use fast attacking weaponjesus christ this is broken
>>483947331that's Yharnam, nothing compares
>>483948121Congrats on discovering the bullshit that dexfags have been using for the past couple years
>>483948121>no poise damagelmao do dex sissies really
>>483947998there's a bunch of catacombs, if you want the first one go northwest from ensis castle frontthere aren't mines like in the basegame, but there's forge dungeons which are essentially the same idea, first one castle ensis and the dragon man
>Miquella has always been a frail demigod who’s main strength was charisma>Naturally this translates to ORBITAL LASER STRIKES
Okay, okayBut why the fuck is Godwyn's face in the dlc catacombs?
>>483947614a family tree would be nice.Like Godrick is a descendant, so did Godwyn have kids or were there other children, especially since all those mausoleums are supposed to be for dead demigods.
>>483948204he has spells in the base game too
>>483948121you forgot to add that tear that increases the consecutive attacksloved finishing the game two magma blades spaming attacks
>>483947367Complain to Miyazaki because this is the new lore condensed into single image.
>>483943190>ayo lemme axe you a question playa
>>483948324I just don't know why I don't like itIt seems too non-intrinsic to him himself, I love him so much and the implication of it being a trick makes me mad
>Put Miquella on my back and see what happens!
>>483947631Rellana is literally the most fair boss in the entire DLC, not a single one of her moves is horseshit like waterfowl dance.>>483947665>Elden Beast is no longer a gimmick boss, horses are allowed nowBlatantly not true. And yes, Dancing Lion is faceroll. I literally killed him in 20 seconds with my bleed weapons.
>>483948097nigga did you really go through the whole dlc without exploring the area above the first grace? go through the cave south of miquella's rune next to belurat, where you first met ansbach and moorego through the illusory wall in the shadow keep sewer, from the ladder near the boats outside storehousego down the hole in moorth ruins and find the exitget the gesture north of bonny village after and use it on the marika statue next to gaius boss door
>just killed margott>stole his fit>every single discuss of light shows tremendous sideboobKINOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO
>>483948434I've never understood the screeching about these things, their attacks have telegraphs so obvious my fucking grandma could kill one.
>>483948391Sorry anon Elden Ring had to make some sacrifices to fit in Miyazaki's femboy, Josou seme, Hypno fetish. However it was all for the greater good.
Does the Cherishing Fingers spell have some secret use I'm not seeing? It seems like total shit but the animation is cool
>>483948542I just got tired of running into them after the fifth or so time
So what is the OP rolling sparks build?
>>483948513Don't show this to rellana
>>483948623Messmer so mad you porking his mom he turns into a serpent
>>483948434>Miquella Holy Rider>2nd phase "Leonard forgive me...">ethereal hoof touches Miquella's golden locks and he ruses with the tree spirit
>>483947818I one shot lion and two shot metyr, so... I actually died a few times to taurus demon when I first played DS1. Technically I guess it should be lower than them, yeah.
>>483947915To add, this will be how Miquella keeps tabs on tarnished. Everything that goes to Mogh will go to him.
>>483948678You what
>>483948564The reflects all projectiles
>>483948579I can understand getting tired of how common they are for sure, but some people screech about them being hard which is wild to me.>>483948621DEX/FTH, equip lightning perfume with rolling sparks, get on top of the boss and free aim it at the floor, press L2, watch them die.
>>483948672I'm not
>>483948485i knew you were gonna bring up waterfowl. it's literally 1 fucking attack you have to learn to deal with that has multiple solutions. opinion discarded
>>483948097oh and no jagged peak? go through the dragon dungeon and exit past the boss room
>>483948751The solution is summoning someone to tank it for you
>>483948178t. Trannysword user
>>483948715Oh that's kinda neat. It seems a bit slow to be useful for that but maybe in niche cases it will work
>fire knight greatswordHow long until they nerf it?
>>483948743I'm giving Marika cummies every day, what do you think about that?
>>483948836Probably not in the initial balance patch, bigger fish to fry. It's not broken, just the best weapon in it's class by a large margin.
>>483948563I don't like that meme, esspecially because it's top on the mind control spectrum. If they have zero agency or understanding of it then it's the same as if they're just lovotomized clones, it's not like nearly as interesting
>>483948751>multiple solutionsWhat's the solution to avoiding it when she animation cancels and casts it at point blank range and you're a mid roller without bloodhound step and no frost pots? Oh wait, there isn't one, you just die. Stfu fag.
>>483948542it's not the enemy, it's that from puts these things in areas that are too fucking small for them where its easy to get cucked by the camera
This hat was made for me. It is my favorite hat ever.
>>483948849You arent
>>483948916Oh hey I'm using that same fit with messmer's spear. Supreme tier taste my guy.

>>483949092>immediately loses all of the health she gained right after
>>483949003Why would anyone need help when perfume cheese hasn't been nerfed yet?
>>483947257My headcannon is that the manga is how the game characters would actually behave if confronted with the weirdness of Aseo.
>>483948976It's cause it's a damn good fit and Messmer's Spear is the coolest and most fun weapon in the gameKeep it up, o brother
Zanzibart bros...
You know, I'm getting the sneaking suspicion RL 150 might be too low for co-op summon ranges for the DLC. 170ish makes more sense to me.
>jagged peaks was literally just a straight line
>>483949138I want to solo him very badly (For other people)
>>483948885I've been hearing people say it can true combo with 2 R1s, I've yet to test it myself. So far I'm loving it just for having the R1s of the godslayer greatsword coupled with poke R2s. Eruption on it is also utterly ridiculous.
>>483949234Im getting summoned just fine at 150
>>483948932cope
>>483949082>description links to reddit alreadygrim
>>483949236the line is a little more jagged

>>483949092>block and let her heal a tiny bit>hit her with a single r1 to negate that healor>don't block>dieWhich one seems better to you?
>>483948889The solution is don’t be a greedy pig and have distance management. Hard for retards, I know
oh so thats why the thrusting shield feels so good. the R1 attack guards like its at 100 guard boost.
>Guys>what if we took Midir but made him worseWhat the fuck did From mean by this
>>483949303time to die carlos
>>483949336>Just play super passive, bro>>483949329What if my build doesn't use shields, faggot? What if I'm not a mongoloid Strength user?
>>483948889>and no frost potsDeath poker L2 into R2 you retard. Works just as good. You don’t even need the actual poker anymore, they literally made its WA and infusible ash.
>>483949209I feel like "Forgive me" memes are the translators fuckery. I wonder how there are so many fucking scandals of localizers fucking around with japanese original scripts and lines with their shit but only now it occured to me that Zanzibart memes might be pushed by a group of whoever responsible for souls localization team. Same shit was with DMC 5 where Vergil said in english "I don't care about my son", when the original japanese line was "My son? What are you even talking about?"
>>483948889been awhile since I did malenia but I learned to dodge through it exactly as you describedyou can croutch the first or second sequence and then just roll >I'm just bitching to vent because I'm upsetI know but it's pretty lame of you

REMINDER miquella did not brainwash radahn. They're in love. Radahn doesn't talk to you because he only likes talking to miquella.
>>483949405>What if my build doesn't use shields, faggot?Then learn to dodge and stop whining. Or use another method if you can't.
>>483949570it's okay retardbro, we can't all have double digit IQs

Man the DLC really just sort of ends, doesn't it
For me its Rellana's Twin moons
>>483949405BARRICADE SHIELD YOU FUCKING IDIOT
What the fuck is the new meta level?
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=N68yTvbnOJkfirst there was naked jump attack spam man. now there's "don't engage with the game's mechanics at all" man. he's not the hero the modern fromsoft player base needs, but he's exactly the one it deserves.
Where's the DLC text dump? Is there one for JP?
>>483949515I laughed really hard when I fought him>Runs at me and tries to spray poison mist>I'm already mid-chilling mist>It immediately interrupts him and he gets frostbite stagger>Nigga got out-misted>Swap to my star-lined sword>Sick ass anime L2 combo him>He fucking dies right there without doing anything to meHow embarrassing.
people really died to the Lamenter? wth man.
>>483949710You can bash your head against the wall however you want. It’s still easier with shield and poke. Dogshit boss.
>>483944204>as the invader you are inherently the aggressor and no one owes you shitsure, when the "balance" of invading was you being a higher-skilled and more-equipped combatant than the people you invaded, it made sense for you to always be up against multiple peoplebut then that "balance" was upset and now invaders are generally put into a disadvantaged position BOTH by being up against multiple enemies AND having each of those enemies be just as if not MORE equipped than they are>you started going on about how they should've 1v1'd you you'd get laughed atsure, but this isn't THAT community, it's the souls communitybefore the mass influx of genuine normalfags who NEVER heard of dark souls let alone demon's souls, ganking was typically seen as was it is:a bunch of sad pieces of garbage sitting around in an empty area so they can easily gang up on lone players because their individual levels of skill do not add up to 1 singular seasoned playerwhich is further compounded by when you encounter one of these ganks they're all gung-ho and act all macho and get in your face because in their minds they are invincible, there's 3 of them and only 1 of you,which only makes them turning and running away and/or alt+f4'ing when their summons die all the more hilarious
>>483947461yes, be a messmer bro
It amuses me a bit that they can't be bothered to fix the AI cheese for her.

Guys, how to get here? Its near temple ruins in cliff
>>483949750200 for invasions/coop/FCs, 125 if you're a discordtroon duelist.
>>483949819If I have to change my build to fight one boss, that boss is shit. Simple as.
is it worth stacking poison on top of scarlet rot? (pve) its pretty limiting to weapons and from what i remember poison kind of sucks? wanting to try out a Poison Flower Blooms Twice status build
>>483949718Reminder, marika sent us to kill messmer because he wouldn't marry and plow rellana. She understood that having such a loyal, in love, devoted, moonmage around and not giving her the love she deserved was a crime only punishable by death.
>>483949770I like these dudes. Their dungeons might be my favorites in the DLC, even though they're by far the shortest. The aesthetic is just really good and a nice change of pace from the Land of Teal and Blue Shadows.>>483949849There's a spiritspring nearby, I believe.
Man throwing knives suck
>>483949779Ganking is retarded but 3v1 or 2v1 is perfectly okayGanking isn't the same as running into 3 dudes going through a catacomb together and they collectively grind you to bits
>>483949829Go prisoner and do the dragon rune farm
>>483949829go google a build calculator
>>483949774>It’s still easier with shield and pokeAny boss is easier with that strat, even Malenia despite her haha healing shit
>>483949883I found 3v1s manageable until the DLC added like 10 new absolutely ridiculous AoE / projectile spam ashes of war, many of which track extremely accurately or even spawn directly on top of / under the player.You basically need to know everyone's builds before engaging now, or you're in for a bad time.

I loved every minute of this quest
are there any not super important npcs one can kill for sweet loot?that guy D with the fun armor, isn't he a bad guy and good to kill early?
Hey /erg/ do people still erp in elden ring like they used to or is that over now?
>>483949952Yeah, but there's still nothing actually wrong with it unless they're actually ganking or camping at a grace or something. What do you want them to do, not use their weapons and spells? Let you kill them one by one? If they wanted to duel they'd be in arena or have taunters on.
>>483949878>Rellana's one sided admiration of Messmer is a mirror of Radahn and Miquella

>>483949858Or you can acquire the tools to deal with the boss. You whined about frost pots earlier did you not? Get the pots and use them. Or use deathpoker/slap ghostlfame call on a weapon and WA into heavy like I mentioned earlier. The boss doesn’t make you do anything, you choose to not use tools that make the fight less of a chore and then cry about it being a chore.
>>483949946>>483949976It’s the only boss where it feels like a must tho. I melted elden beast with bleed ugs despite it being immune to bleed. Can’t do the same to chudahn. Mickey mouse game

>>483950063i have a mosquito bite on my ass. we all got problems kid.

>>483950107pussy>>483949858you don't have to change builds. it sounds like you chose a playstyle that's beyond your skill level. so either get better at it or use other tools.
>>483950094Nigger Radahn is weak to bleed, what the fuck are you on about
>>483949849where is that?
>>483949601Bro Radahn rejected Miquella so he sent his sister in as a ballistic missile to get the body by force and kidnap the soul
>>483950175It looks cool but the amount of spam AOE attacks and running away from me every 30 seconds is just old at this point. I'm done my nigga

>>483950208except you can dodge it?>it's hard thoyeah, which is why you can turn on easy mode and summon your mimic tear and stunlock her to deathadapt or simmer down
>>483950264NTA but the guy who posed his kill earlier using Eleonora's Poleblade. I have 60 Arcane and I only managed to bleed him 3 times the entire fight, each one doing like 10% of his health at best, and that's with as many facetanking combos as you can physically get on this cuntHe's not weak to bleed. He just happens to not be immune
>>483950208You aren’t fooling anyone. Stop hiding behind excuses and make it work.
>>483950127Disingenuous argument. People don't want them filled with random bullshit, but when you make areas as large as the finger ruins and the abyssal woods and they have jack all in them, it feels kinda shitty.
>>483949879>shield and hammerBrother
>>483950264It’s impossible to get a hit in, so bleed is useless unless you do shield and antspur/mohg spear

>>483950435perfume bottle one shot
>>483950387correct. i will admit that it was bait to honor your rational response.i personally appreciated their attempts with experiment with the open world zones. but the fact that the successes (rauh, jagged peak) and failures (finger ruins, abyssal woods) are evenly split is not good - especially when abyssal woods' flaws are so glaring despite the concept being fundamentally sound.

>>483950723literally came here to ask if anyone's used it. what's so bad about him as a spirit ash?
>>483950602Yeah I'm just using it on invasions. Unfortunately I didn't find it until after completing most everything, so i can't really comment on its practicality against bosses
>Lower boss damage by about 30%>Buff boss HP for about 30%Yep, this is how it should be, Its so disapointing that good fights like Midra and Pubrescent Knight are cool looking and have fun movesets but the boss has no HP, even with lower level of scadudle blessing they die too quickly.
>>483950739I ran past all of those dragons and then quit after I saw bayle's moves. If you fought one dragon you've fought them all.
>>483950657i would prefer if the game didn't have so many tools that enabled their shitty playstyles so they'd actually have to FIGHT me, instead of just endlessly flinging magic missiles and safely spamming their flashy aoes
>>483950723>>483950758he's good imho, he's p tanky and is like a crystalian with higher damage and much higher poise damage
>>483950723>Objectively he is shitThe hell are you on? He’s an absolute unit that holds aggro and tanks everything without complaint. Slow as molasses sure but once he starts swinging he doesn’t stop for anything until the target’s dead.
>>483950758zero damageAll it does is pretty much tanking but doesn't have greatshield troopers ash of war defense and aggro

>>483950774Maybe you should try enjoying something for once in your life, faggot.>>483950763It's comical watching people panic while you just hurl the shield at their heads over and over. I had a hard time making the greathammer work, though. Its hyper armor doesn't start fast enough.

>Redcel seethe hoursLove to see it
>>483950843I've probably fought like 50 dragons in fromsoft games
>>483950893>>>/v/
this game looks fucking cool but the gameplay has absolutely degenerated to just memorization where animations convey absolutely nothing about what a move does or when it will hit since everyone just slides around with anime dashes and has a mix of wonky delays and lightning fast attacks and and endless array of magic projectile and aoe horseshit that can just do whatever it wants with 0 tell and bosses have like three times moves as any dark souls boss to memorize. then you sprinkle in a few flat out bad animations that look too similar to other moves or even just to the walking and turning animations, a few busted moves for a bunch of boss that just force you to take high damage and the game just becomes unfun, and making literally every fight have 2 phases so you have to waste 60 seconds before fighting the real boss and then having to do the phase 1 twenty times just to have a reasonable chance at learning all the random bullshit that they are going to do in phase 2 that almost one shots you from full health and is strung together in strings that last 20 moves. the game just starts to feel bad.
>>483950739its a cool sequence, elder dragon asidebayle is overhyped both by players and the writers though. his design is dorky, especially when there are so many cool dragons both in elden ring and the souls series. fucking stubby little dragonlet with his bionicle armdragon god in des mogs bayle in terms of spectacle. only thing bayle really has going for him is igon
>>483950934That's every hour of the day
>>483949984thanks anon ill give it a shot. now all that remains is getting some suitable fashion to match. pic rel is more of a bleed red than a scarlet rot red
>>483950982Nigga less words, you’re sharing a board with indians and retards
>>483950970>>>>/v/
>>483946006No, you can even give yourself those.t. gave myself those over a year ago and then again several months ago and then again just before the DLC. It's literally only items that don't exist in official game. So items in the files but cannot be be got without CE are bannable. Nothing else is.
>>483950982eh its not that big of a dealcan be frustrating because the camera just isn't designed to accomodate which deprives the player information and is pretty bullshitseems like a seethe to me
>>483950778The game also gave you plenty of options to engage them at range or force them away from you. Horned warrior’s sword has been my savior a few times since I got it since it’s a bigger aoe storm hawk axe that isn’t as gimped by the nerfs thanks to the talisman and lion heads. For enemies that cluster in a room and don’t want to budge Miquella’s light flash fries them or at least scares them out into the open, and if you’re really willing to be a turbo shitter you can spam blind spot or swift slash if none of them understands how to parry. Fire knight’s greatsword wins just about every trade and you can swing it unlocked, greatsword of damnation buys you time or outright kills anyone you hit on top of having a janky hitbox and fuck off aoe with hyperarmor for days you somehow miss. There’s plenty of options to engage in invasions, just a matter of your skill vs theirs and how dirty you’re willing to play.
>>483950982yeah it's tiresome , AC6 is like 300x better than this slop
>>483950837people exploiting those flaws is a problem because it makes the game worse all-around for everyone
>>483950982Internet broke your synapses, you can't memorize a boss moveset and you are probably not even 50 years old, what the fuck dude, stop consuming Internet 24/7 and you will find joy in playing games.
>>483950843Greathammer is awesome, but it has a lot of quirks. You're right about the hyperarmor starting late. I wouldn't use it in arena but it is perfect for invasions.

>>483951253incantation*
>>483950984100% agree. His phase 2 moveset reeks of them trying to one up Placidusax (complete with tinnitus explosion), and the result is an incoherent mess of floor eruptions and assorted bullshit. I usually will spend time on a boss until I learn its moveset and how to deal with all they have to offer, even if it means throwing the try, but when I got him low on my fourth try, I was just like, "fuck it", and killed him.
>>483951285You don't need to make them so early you dumb fuck
>>483950923Other anon is retarded he probably quit the fight because he couldn't use torrent.
>>483951163Yeah that's probably your best bet.
>>483951170>point out ganks aren’t as unwinnable as anon thinks>criesYou weren’t a very strong reader as a kid were you?
>>483951206Cerulean Coast / Charos' Grave actually has a decent amount of content, it's just that people don't seem to consider them one area. It's the Mountaintops / Snowfield thing from the base game all over again (they're one area according to the game).
>>483951132Except if you don't then you have to deal with poison antspur rapiers in stormveil>b-but that's an arms racenigga we both know the side that actually has time to set up their kit specifically for pvp started itAlso let's be real, jar cannon exists so there's no reason stars of ruin can't
the game also just relies way too much of aoes for everything. take bayle for example. he has one cinematic gimmick move that looks cool where he powers up and flies around. what else does he do? he swipes you with his paw, nibbles at you, and does a standard tail spin. phase 1 is so terribly boring. and what does he do after he powers up? he swipes, nibbles, and spins at you but this time everything is followed up with a different series of aoes. his model looks cool but terrible boss design gameplay wise.
>>483951291>floor effects that can't be seen while locked onannoying shit that you see a few times in the dlctook me a bit to realize I had to unlock and relock constantly to be able to dodge/learn movesets
fuck whoever made it so you had to travel halfway across the continent to reach the upper part of the specimen library. I would have been searching for hours if I didn't look it up.
>>483951134it just feels like a chore eventually, especially since you have to fight through phase 1 every time. malenia was the first instance of this trash with having to learn the unintuitive magic sequences to dodge waterfowl with midroll which also just isn't possible at some ranges and each portion of waterfowl has different arbitrary behavior and quirks to know, and then having to learn the magic sequence to dodge her magic ghost move which is the same in having several parts each of which behaves different and does too much damage.

>>483952205>absolutely massive dragon that you have to lock down with giant ballistas it is more of a spectacle than generic monster you dodge/attack until their health runs out
>>483950531Abyssal Woods could be fixed by just doing more with the space that is there and making the winter lanterns a more immediate threat, perhaps some might disagree, but I felt that there only being like 4 total in the woods was a big let down, and for some reason they just make it blatantly obvious how you're actually meant to deal with em.
>>483952704>you don't understand bro watching the cutscene of him getting incapacitated was EPICVery cool.
>>483949850150 feels pretty varied. 200+ just has everyone running with way heavier armor then they really should.
>>483953015>and for some reason they just make it blatantly obvious how you're actually meant to deal with em.this is just a broad game design problem. you can't make real puzzles because anything that challenges the player's ability to think for themselves will result in disaster. you know, the skyrim puzzle effect.you even see this in other parts of the DLC, specifically the deathblight catacomb that is effectively a puzzle. almost everything you'd logically think to try works: hiding behind things is the most basic solution, but mimic veil, assassin's gambit and any other stealth effects (including lameter's lantern), or just chugging boluses all work. yet somehow people still called it "bullshit". baffling.
