Elden Ring sucks
Would playing through the dlc with the sekiro deflect mod improve the experience?
post your motherfuckers
Marika's breast milk
>>484270484We already have that at home it’s a physick tear
Are throwing daggers/kukris any good for some basic range damage in PVE? Don't want to use magic and don't want to go crossbow/bow since I dislike weapon switching Not expecting as good as magic but just something to do dps while the enemy stands still waiting to rape me if I go in melee
>>484270352yea its dumb. even DS2 and 3 thought to spoil you with all sorts of loot, yet here theh though smithing stones and mushrooms would do you good wth.
BEHOLD, A TRUE DRAKE WARRIORAND I, IGON
>>484270551I can't stand the single use and time limit that come with the physick
>>484270516cute!
>>484270303Light of Miquella because it's the only description that says how amazing (you) are.
>>484270652The various throwing knives/darts are very good, yes. Just stick to using the ones that scale with your given stat if you want damage from them. Otherwise they are good for keeping an enemy's stance from regenerating at range.
Novelty is wearing off but this is a really fun spell.
>>484270682Five minutes is longer than any boss fight in the game, it's fine. Though I will wait for mods to make it the default.
Imagine Allant designed by modern From Software
>>484270775>it potentially referring to RadahnWe even got cucked out of an item description.
>>484270516Vivi
Light Greatswords being shit is From's greatest sin.
>>484270807nothing worse than getting styled on by default knight armor, bless.
>>484270868>Radahn>refuse to be embraced>is literally being embraced in phase 2
>>484270862He'd soul suck you more often but it'd also just kill you instead of draining levels.
>>484270325does dlc now imply that godwyn was originally going to be used for radahns body but ranni screwed that up for miquella?
>>484270516I am the lord of ALL that is golden
>>484270498Those were some good webms anon.I enjoyed it.
>>484270989Can't do much refusing once you get put into a puppet body controlled by your gay brother now can you
>>484270862
>remember this handsome mother fucker?>taught us to be nice and friendly to each other>to help one another>to cooperate in a jolly manner?>now we spit on his memory>saying we didn't win if we had help
DS3>Bloodborne>Elden ring
Already pretty deep into dlc and loving the Milady as my go to back up weapon. Question is, what ash of war would fit it best. Im 60/60 dex/faith so maybe Sacred blade and sacred infusion? Or good old spinny slash keen and lightning buff?Any other ashes of war you feel like are standout in the dlc that are worth a try on it?
Light Greatswords & martial arts need to become permanent weapon type fixtures.
>>484271187Sounds about right
>>484270471The Elden Ring sucks my dick everynight
Full ARC for better communion and bleed faggotry or STR/ARC split for weapons like Marais or Meteoric Greatsword or Mohg's Spear or probably some other weapons, too?On a dragon communion character
>>484271061Godwyn was already dead and rotten by the time Miquella came up with the plan to put his needle in oni-san's butt.
Ahem...Rellana is an okay character
>>484270862When was the last time a fromsoft souls game had a major/required boss without a second phase?
>>484271237wing stance is great use that but if you really wanna use something else use blinkbolt
Since i can't have leda for myself, i will fucking murder every npc, kill miquella and crush the erdtree with no survivors
>>484271337Gehrman and Moon Presence if we're talking about final bosses
>>484271002God I miss when Souls games actually had teeth.
me and my girlfriend :)
One of two incoming DLCSLOPPA outfit collages
i think I picked the absolute worst boss to practice instant guard on. I basically beat him my third attempt but let myself die because I wasn't recording so I figured I may as well try to practice doing instant guard against him. I might have been bad with it but I ate shit like 15 times before I gave up trying to instant guard. Maybe he dead angles a lot of his attacks? Well whatever, got through after I stopped trying to guard much. i still don't understand the hitbox of the charge because it seems to linger close to him if he stops short at the wall
>>484270862>>484271187Modern From boss design has been a steady increase in quality over their previous bosses.This is a standard of case of "old good, new bad."
Do you have to recollect all the map pieces and bell bearings in NG+?
I miss runbacks
>>484271673You think Elden Beast flying everywhere was an improvement?
save leda
>>484270325>tfw there's nobody in the world who could satisfy this semen demon so she just married herself
>>484270516why yes, i love the prison top because when female tarnished wear it and run, you can see their lewd barely revealed peeking ass cheeks
>>484271704no for map pieces don't know about bell bearings but i'd assume you do
>Modern From boss design has been a steady increase in quality
>>484270516Fromsoft should just add tasteful nudity
>>484271598And two, now I'm off to try and make the twinned mask work with the golden order greatsword.
I'm just going to remove Radahn's summon totem from my multiplayer list. Its just not fucking fun to fight that dipshit even with other people, i seriously think the best way to get rid of him is to just use a summon since that way you don't increase his already absurd health bar
>>484271704Yes and you lose all the runes you’re holding too.
>>484270325Mommy.........
>>484271871stop posting my mother in such scandalous attire
>>484271337The only time I want to see a new healthbar is when the setting changes like Renalla
https://x.com/AndresPlays93/status/1807486183007801783
>>484271241yes and yes but they should just rename "light greatswords" to "longswords" as the nature intended
I'm at blessing level (17). Will trying to get to 19 or 20 make any difference fighting Radahn or Bayle?
>>484271317also wondering this
Imagine how sad Ranni was when she returned to the academy, and her mother no longer remembers her.— ‘Cap worn by young academy scholars, the juveniles birthed anew by the amber egg of Queen Rennala, the head of Raya Lucaria Academy.’—‘Yet their rebirth is not without imperfections, and thus do they repeat the process, eventually becoming utterly dependent upon it.’—‘Rebirth is as sleep to them, and with each awakening, memory fades into oblivion.’It is likely Rennala finally cracked when she heard her daughter suicided.Obliterating yourself as a form of cope…
>>484270325I hope that when the Elden Ring IP is eventually revisited it's a remake instead of a direct sequel. The DLC is an unacceptable inclusion narratively, and just reeks of limpdick boomers wanting to move onto their next project. The additions to Miquella's story in particular are so abhorrent that I view the DLC as a whole as a derivative fanwork. I pray when the time comes for another entry they realize their folly and revisit what they got wrong about Miquella. Beginning with understanding he planned for the Tarnished's arrival and set aside many of his personal belongings to aid their journey.
>>484271771>Kill Leda>Grab her soul>Shove it in the body of another ,lesser dead girl like Fia>Melt from 108 different strains of AIDS the moment you shove your dick inside her>ProfitAlso she will propably be a husk instead of a real murderwife
>>484271673Technically and mechanically, yes. In terms of encounter design and means of hindering the player beyond 'its a hard fight', its been a steady decline since DeS.
So why does Messmer's name not fit the same convention as the other Radagon/Marika children?MiquellaMaleniaMelina
>>484271759I think Mohg, Godfrey/Hoarah Loux and Radagon more than make up for it.
>>484272079we already have a straight sword called longsword
>>484272289It starts with M good enough
>>484272289Marika saw the snakes and thought it would be funny to add hissing to his name
>>484272176Daughter suicidedSon eaten by snakeOther son alive but insane and eternally rotting
if you insist
>>484271673The only boss in this game that has a narrative quality told through its boss mechanics is the Scadutree Avatar.
>>484272176Rennala probably actually truly became mindbroken when Ranni an hero'd.
>>484272379the greatsword in this game is a colossal sword
>>484272379Yeah ik and they should name it something else in their next game. Arming sword or something
>>484272472meant for>>484270516
>>484272290literally all of them are worse than the likes of friede and gael
Did a blasphemous blade build to help me through the dlc. It’s a lot easier nowI hate doing new runs in Elden ring because it takes forever to grab stuff and fuck NG+. Wish I could fight previous bosses like godrick without having to restart. Or help people at lower levels fight early bosses. They could just scale down your specs depending on the host’s level
>>484272583they name shit pretty retardedly, one day i hope i get to use European Katana
>>484272127it's like 5% per levelsure it will help, but that's not really the kind of difference that will save you if you're getting your ass handed to youalso Bayle ought to be easy at that level
>>484270868Retardation
>>484272498What does this mean? You think Sif is a deep boss fight because he limps at the end?
>>484272678>They could just scale down your specs depending on the host’s levelFrom fucking sucks at scaling.
>>484271226Nioh 2 > LoP > DS3 > BB > DS1 > Elden Ring > Sekiro > manure > DS2
Is it just me or is it actually physically impossible to avoid the second hit on Radahn's one, two, cross combo? Like do you need to block at that one?
I sometimes forget how silly these games are, remembering bosses like Sif.
Why is the guy's title "Lord of Frenzied Flame" if he has no claim to lordship?
>>484270516I have fouri don't understand why my elden ring screenshot are so low res>>484271112so good, best one i've seen in a while, looks like one of these saint relic
has anyone ever used these things?
>>484271970Shut up Messmer
>>484272927always roll behind him
>>484270516currently doing a dryleaf run.
>>484271970Nobody cares Messmer you faggot go fuck Rellana already.
>>484270516Love Ranni's outer god moon pussy
>there's two different larval tearsWHAT THE FUCK
>>484272927It's technically possible but absurdly difficult.There are two methods:A frame-perfect early roll right on the first swing will give you Just enough time to roll the secondBy sprinting to the right around him in a circle, you can position yourself such that the first hit whiffs without dodging and thus you only need to roll the 2nd.Otherwise you need to block it or use an evasion ash of war.
>>484272838>deep bossNo. I mean to begin with you clearly already define "deep" as something bad just because it's a meme word for you, so you clearly are bias as is.But it's not anything deep. It's just a good narrative battle. Boss gets weaker towards the end, it displays in it's moves and behavior. Nothing that fancy, but it makes the battle seem realer and more engaging.
>>484273327Yeah, not sure why. They have the same description and everything. The only actual difference is you get the Land of Shadow ones from random grave circles that only appear at night.
ah yes
>>484271237I use the Crucible Wings ash on it. Fits my holy paladin larp really well.
Here's my schizophrenic rework of the combat to make me actually like From's simple ass combat.Remap attacking to the face buttons (X for light, Y for heavy on Xbox)L1 now serves as a gating button. When you press it, your Light and Heavy switch to your off hand instead. This means you could theoretically get your full moveset on your off hand too.RT is now your block. The new tear is always active. Yes you always have Sekiro parry, fuck you.Dodge is replaced by quick step. Double tap dodge to get the full roll.LT is the special action button. You can use L1 and LT to get your special action from your off hand too. Instead of a singular Ash of War, each weapon gets a series of slots for special actions. You can then place certain ashes of war in those slots to perform them. For example, Greatswords could get a special action after Sekiro parrying and you can perform your ash only after a succeful parry. Each weapon class would get different slots, thus incentivizing different playstyles for each weapon.Spells get condensed into "spell weapons." Instead of Glintstone, Big Glintstone, Tracking Glintstone, Scatter Glintstone, etc. etc., these are all "light and heavy" attacks of the same spell. why am I posting this? It's a holiday, I'm in the middle of nowhere camping with the family and I'm bored. I'm also never gonna have the resources to make my dream game because I don't know shit about programming so I hope someone some day steals my stupid ideas and makes my dream game.
>Roderika chooses to die too WHAT THE FUCFBIELNJ
I bought armored core 6 because I'm sick of hunting for skibidi
>>484273072I've used a couple so that I can have dozens of upgraded weapons with the ashes/infusions I like.
>>484273085>>484273219you don't understand my pain
>>484273085>Marika was afraid of Messmer's big fat trouser snakeWhat did they mean by that?
>>484273509Have you heard of our lord and saviour Nioh 2?
>>484273072I used them for my flame art build where I only use flaming strike and sacred blade
>>484271629your deflects you mean? yeah you were too close
>>484273458Respec with one of the DLC Larval Tears, then stand in one of those circles.
>>484273616imagine marika giving birth to messmer and his snakes...
can you not jump radahns earth aoe stuff? wtf
>>484273561so just because it's a hassle to swap em around or did you powerstanfe them?
>>484273509>Dodge is replaced by quick step. Double tap dodge to get the full roll.This is a terrible idea with how delayed inputs are in soulsMapping two actions to the same button is the reason we even have the issues with dodging.
>>484273634yesI want every soulsborne to copy nioh instead of from's shit ass R1 spam combat
>>484271747Seek pharmaceutical supplements.
>>484271704no and no (added in a patch). your map markers also stay.
>tfw the Coffin-ships in Cerulean coast made me realize all the coffins in Elden Ring are ACTUALLY magical numen transports and that's why you lay in them to move to new areas>the base game's transport coffins all connect you to Deeproot Depths because the Nameless Eternal City was the former Numen capital, it was a fucking public transit systemDamn
>>484273432I'll take more mechanically engaging bosses over minor narrative changes occurring during the fight. And I disagree with your assertion that scadu avatar is the only one who displays this. Godfrey changing his fighting style halfway through the fight is narratively important while still being a more interesting fight.Bosses getting stronger as they fight is more appealing to me than ones that get weaker.
>>484271747they were ok in previous games but ER bosses are too evil for this shit.
Someone post the scribeanon link
>>484273693Yeah juggling 3-4 ashes across 20 weapons is cancer when you can instead just dupe ashes and keep all 20 infused and available at all times.
>>484273573I don't nor do I care to find outThe cute Carian princess cares though. Go talk to her faggot.
>>484273072for dual cragblade, dual seppuku, and No Skill
>>484273798Look at this stupid nigger and laugh
Respeccing should be free
If you look at Messmer naked in the files he has snakes coming out of his chest and stomach and back and shit. He is also twisted and asymmetrical as hell. > https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=1qK49zltOB8&pp=ygUMTWVzc21lciBza2luWhat did Rellana see in him? Did she only see his pretty face and nothing else?Imagine her shock, having sex with him,and some curious snake pokes out of his belly button or something, staring at her.
>>484272670I never cared much for Friede. Gael is good though.
>>484273356pffft
>>484273913this is pretty much tarnished and rani except the roles are reversed
>>484273965>What did Rellana see in him?SexWithSneks
>>484273965Anon... you do realize that's a feature, not a bug, right?
i wish i could refight bosses solo without needing to NG+. i just want to keep fighting malenia and rellana
>>484273715In my experience Nioh's combat is just a bunch of combowank. Lies of P is where Souls combat should go.
I can't find the right helm for this guy. Already using Rakshasa's gauntlets. Briar helm was OK, but I want something that looks cleaner.
>>484273816I'm sorry, I said "game" but I meant DLCAnd I guess taking significant phase transitions into account Messmer of course has it too. But it's honestly better when the change is done without a cutscene and is subtler.>Bosses getting stronger as they fight is more appealing to me than ones that get weaker.The Scadu avatar's stronger in phase 2 and only weakens in phase 3.
>>484273913I have mommy issues, I don't want a carian sub princess, I want a dommy mommy blondie
>>484273678what
>>484273913They really captured that Escaflowne art style.
>>484273960make them farmable at leastI blew threw a bunch just making miniscule stat adjustments to equip weapons with bullshit requirements like the smithscript ones.
Messmer isn’t even bad. He’s a pure boy who hates himself. If he were evil, why would they make his snakes so cute?
>>484273965She wanted the BIG FAT SNEK.
>>484273687his arena is full of craters that will fuck you over
For a str blood build is it minimum str tax on the Bloodfiend Arm then infuse with blood and max out Arc?
>>484272472>>484270752Sex
And final sloppa drop for a while.
>>484273965>and some curious snake pokes out of his belly button or something, staring at her.A few threads back femcels were lusting over the idea of the snakes holding them down and biting at them (but not too hard)Women are weird anon.Not so weird I don't get it.
Ornstein and Smough -> Sister Friede & Father Ariandel or Demon Princes -> Godskin DuoHow do you regress right at the end like that?
>>484273965I would fondle ALL his snakes
>>484274082Banished Knight forma red scarf?
Ansbach's scythe has a cool weapon art, anyone using it?
>>484273965>mesmer the impaler>he is impaled by snakepoetry
>The hornsent grandam incant is dogshitFuck me. I was hopeful for it.
How do i have fun playing through the base game again until i reach the dlc? Im in great discomfort trying to speedrun through limgrave and magic lake
>>484273965bitches LOVE tortured bishounen with deep backstories but hearts of gold
>>484274174Most of its AR will come from str scaling so you basically want as much as possible while still getting arc to at least 45 or ideally 60.
>Miquella's AoE shit drops my FPS into 20ssenk you from I would not have enjoyed the fight without this
Messmer has snakes inside him, but Rykard is inside a snake.l o l
>>484274306just skip as much as you canI can't be arsed to replay all of the base game shit for the umpteenth time
>>484274306Don't speed run. Take your time. Do all the hero graves. Get all the hard tears.
>>484272079I'm not opposed but too much cultural linguistics has taken place & I dont think it'll happen
>>484274082rodrika's hood
>>484274306Just turn your brain off and fight the bosses. Or rush DLC, grab the weapon you want and then go back and level until you can do it comfortably.
how the heck do i get to this area, cant find a path through shadowkeep
>>484274306Have you tried drugs and alchohol? Always works for me.
open world was a mistake
>>484274478first floor lift on the left
>>484274274interesting, I'll see what they look like together
>>484274282It's just the Bloody Helice WA on a scythe with weird scaling and bad AR.
>finally thought I was doing well on phase 2>the fucking meteor out of nowhereFUCK
>>484273965>and some curious snake pokes out of his belly button or something, staring at her.if she’s smart she’d tug it like a second penis
>>484274306i had like 7 chars all ready for SotE between ng and ng+ with different builds
>>484273678what does this do? can you choose to respec with the dlc tears, or do you have to exhaust your base game tears first?
>>484274574He's scripted to do the meteor at about 1/4 hp so you'll have to deal with it to win.
What a shitshow and crap boss. I am glad it's over. I will never touch anything from Fromsoftware that uses the same archaic mechanics from Demon Souls again. Fuck this game.
>>484274609same
I can never get this straight.For an 80-int pure caster (only Carian sword sorceries for melee), should I be using two Carian Glintsword Catalysts, or one off-hand and something else main?
>>4842748051. just fucking test it empirically dude
Why are spiral incantations referred to as sorceries? Is it a mistake? Or is it intentional? The wording implies sorcerers went out of their way to use it as an incantation, not too different from how some (admittedly heretical) blood sorcerers use sorceries that use faith
>>484271779your character looks a lot like mine, and i also use that top often - good taste anon, she cute
help im smoking the entire carton of cigarettes im going to get sick
>>484274763The issue is them NOT going back to the archaic mechanics of Demon's Souls bro
>>484274873the spiral is a connection to the divine or some shit, and metyr's staff shows that just like demon's souls and dark souls that sorcery and incants are the same at their core. the shadowtree itself is a spiral.
>>484274197I like #2, though I wish the helmet was a bit more matte
>put more than enough golden seeds in-game that you can get 14 flasks without needed all of them>need to collect every single scadu for 20 blessing
Is there actually any in game lore for these goofy fucks?
WOW this is SOOOO fun
>>484275082They're cute
>>484274069Mix that with LotF spellcasting controls and Elden Ring's gameplay is fixed.
>>484275082i dont know
>>484274873Because they are sorceries.The point is that sorceries and incantations are two sides of the same coin. The Hornsent sorcerers manipulate the divine currents of the crucible. They don't pray to it because there's no Crucible god to pray to. The gods are IN the crucible, and can be called upon through prayer, but that's not what the spiral spells do. They weave the current of the crucible's energy directly.
>>484271112all the black and gold armor in the DLC is pure kino, used to rock maliketh set but now have a ton of options
>>484274805If you have more than fifty Mind I highly suggest you use Lusat’s over Regal.
Give it to me straight anons, do you use spirit summons? Do you care how good they are? Do you just enjoy watching your little npc buddy hang around?
>>484275082Have you tried asking >>484275137 ?
why is he messmer the implier
Can you do Varre's quest after killing Mohg?
>>484275195yesnoyes
>>484274991In terms of level and encounter design, sure. Combat-wise, absolutely not. Combat mechanics need an overhaul, will less reliance on iframes.
>look up boss guide>its just the summons and the player mobbing the guy
>>484274082Serpent Knight Helm
I am going for a RL150 carian knight typa build What stats should I aim for and with what priority?
>>484275082related to GEQ which is now cut content so we'll never know because it's not canon
>>484271779why it look like a man?
>>484275195I summoned my mimic tear for the ganksquad fight because it felt thematic to have him there with the other summons. My favourite thing about using Mimic is giving it Uplifting Aromatics and watching it absolutely spam the fuck out of them. Me and Ansbach had bubble shields with basically 100% uptime.
>>484275195I use them, but they unironically make SotE harder so it's a trap.
>>484271776So does this classify as incest or selfcest?
>>484275195yes but only sometimesyesyes
Demon's Souls, Dark Souls 1 and Bloodborne are the only truly good FROM games, even if Dark Souls 1 was already leaning heavily on the stuff that Studio Japan did with Demon's Souls and many of its concepts are rehashes from DeS. Still good on its own though.FROM Software's devs are hacks and they can't make anything truly good without Studio Japan carrying their corpses, which is why gargage like DaS 2, DaS 3 and Elden Ring looked like a flanderization mod made by redditors who only know their games as "the hardest games ever dood!"Only original DeS patricians are qualified to talk about this. Redditors who say "DkS" instead of "DaS" need not apply.
Second character for DLC, here I come: BURNHILDE, fire prophet.You can guess the theme.
>>484274991I meant about my piece of shit character's movements. Bosses with anime power, AoE with every sneeze and infinite combos can go fuck themselves, too. The only good thing about this shit game is the coomer content. Now I'm going to masturbate and play Sekiro to cleanse the bad taste from my palate. FUCK ELDEN RING.
>>484275363>150
>>484275195not against bosses but i summon soldjars of fortune, latenna and the ancestral follower against mobs when given the option. sometimes i summon soldjars on bosses i'm learning because seeing them waddle around increases morale
>>484275454Pest threads?
>>484275425every soulsbornering game is good and fun in its own way mr old good new badand sekiro
>>484275425DS2:SOTFS is peak fromsoft and you should show some respect.
>>484275363Depends what weapons, spells, and ashes you want to use. For example, the Carian Knight Sword's damage scales better off STR than INT, but its skill's damage only scales off INT.
>Another god damn great ghost gloworthOh for fucks sake. Almost all the ashes in the dlc are hot garbage and it gives out these like candy. Meanwhile youre still extremely starved for Somber Ancients.
>>484275425DaS2 is the best game fromsoft has made since Chromehounds.
>>484275215his whole cutscene is him >implying that i give a single shit about his mother
>>484275468Uh-huh... I'm sure whatever you're saying is right anon... I'm totally not looking at the pic
>teleports around the arena and makes you chase him>does some dumb AoE spray on the ground every 5 seconds making you wait for it to go away before you can engage>heals 50% of his HP every 20 seconds>does a fat godskin roll at you because that move is greatI dont even like the music. most overrated fight in all of elden ring imo.
>>484275195Yes, I get really lonely playing videogames so like I like any game that lets me summon things or have companions, so I usually lean towards whatever let's me summon the most or have the most 'special' acting oneI like using the great shields because of that because there's 5 of them which I think is the largest amount yoy can getI'll summon them for like most little dungeon areas that let me in the overworld
>>484274763>bashed my head against him for hours>had P1 down pat but as soon as the second part starts got instantly obliterated by lasers or wombo combo'd whenever Radahn starts lag switching >felt like I was making 0 progress so just gave up and called in mimic like a bitch to be done with itI had a pretty rough time in this DLC, more than most maybe, but that fight really humbled me. Might reattempt it some day but for the life of me I could not figure out how I was supposed to react to a lot of those moves.
>>484275195I use them very rarely, and only in 2 situations - either in enemy camps, or against mini bosses I've beaten before (ulcerated spirit, erdtree avatar etc)Personally I've mostly used the jar wight mostly. It's not that powerful, but it can inflict enemies with various statuses I don't use, so that's nice.Honestly I like the idea of spirit summons, I just don't really like how they're handled. I wish you could just have them more like semi-permanent companions in the overworld.
is midra being easy a meme or did people really not struggle with this guy?
>>484275664>I dont even like the music.dogshit taste of the year
>>484275581I am not sure if spells are particularly useful later on in the game, I dont know yet what ashes I want to use, the dark moon sword for sure is on the list. Other than that - whatever is cool Just going for the spellblade vibes.
>>484275772He's easy, just dodge his attacks and hit him until he dies
>>484275772He's an extremely honest dark souls-styled boss so everybody with experience from past games found him very comfortable to fight. He punishes you for trying to make distance but his moves are all really fair and readable up close and his openings are big.
>>484275195I love to summon them in open areas & have fun seeing how the unique ones work. Stuff like the cannon imp, that's just good fun seeing mobs get blown away. Or I might summon them for minor boss battles like the knight of solitude, that don't matter. I like to summon people to real boss fights cause I'm a sunblock at heart
>>484275195>Give it to me straight anons, do you use spirit summons? Do you care how good they are? Do you just enjoy watching your little npc buddy hang around?Yes. No, unless it's some Radahn shit in which case Mimic is out. And yes. I wish there were more areas in the overworld to spirit summon. With more strategic positioning too. Like dropping Latenna or Ogha down on a vantage point and slowly making my way through an area while they provide cover fire for example.
>>484275772Not a meme, you just suck.
>>484275102grad you rike
>>484275772he is easy and by that i mean fair. he actually has attack openings. his hp is the highest in the dlc i.e. the entire game, but his defenses are rather low.
fuck you mike wazowski
>>484275772have you tried to not get hit by the flames?it's not called MIDra for nothing
>want to try some faith>cant decide on weaponugh
>>484275856next time you fight metyr or a dragon summon latenna
How do I make a save backup without getting banned? I am functionally retarded around computers, I am just a simple plumber, please help.
>>484275949cypher pata
Good god why is Messmer so fucking lanky
>>484275949death knight longhaft axe looks good, good reach, fun as fuck aow
>>484275987you don't get banned for moving saves around
>>484273965my guess was the snake issue got worse over time without Marika giving him blessings and shit, the golden knight ash implies they found out about the snakes after the main part of the crusade and rebelled, seems impossible to hide if they were in the current state
What statline and talismans to make the meteoric greatsword work? I'm having issues getting the damage I think I should get.
>>484275805For Darkmoon Greatsword you'll want to prioritize INT. Minimum 50. Sorcery is really string late Gane but only if you invest really heavily, like 80.
Why did Malenia try to kill Radahn if Miquella wanted Radahn to be his consort? Was that *somehow* part of Miquella's plan or was Malenia crazy rot goddess acting for her own ends at that point?

Are thrusting shields considered a "you beat the game" weapon? I want to make a dedicated build with one but I require approval from the /erg/ court.
>>484276150>nerfed blade
>>484275987>How do I make a save backup without getting banned?Not something youd ever get banned forJust find your file location, copy it, make a backup folder and paste, its that simple (id recommend googling the file location, as it can be different for people depending on certain factors)
>>484276168"just cheat bro"
>>484275949Perfume only
>>484275961The issue with Latenna on bosses is that she tends to nab aggro a lot and the boss rushes towards her and she can't survive for shit. I try to keep it on me but it's not as if I have the shabriri talisman on for regular pve.I do summon Ogha for dragon bosses a lot. She's good.
>>484276025that AOW is kino, just wish the charge did more damage and that the regular blinkbolt could do a leaping attack for any weapon
>>484276192shut the FUCK up Rellana
>>484276203they don't seem op just pretty good
>>484276141Your legs look REALLY big compared to your torso
>>484275195Best DS3 mod was Pocket Souls. So yeah, I like spirits. Just wish they worked differently.
Perfumes are kinda boring and the poison one sucks
>>484276203They're bugged and don't take the proper amount of stamina damage when during the attack block frames. Obviously, using a literally broken weapon means you didn't beat the game so I'm afraid you need to wait for them to be patched.
>>484276203I think they are bugged right now so if you R1 into an attack with one it doesn't consume the stamina from blocking or something? Seemed pretty good
>>484275696Literally spam roll like a retard like I did, or use a shield like a bitch. Still, there are moves that are impossible to escape if you are at close range, such as the circle of light and the meteor shower. His grab is the only safe attack to punish, but like every grab in From games, the hitbox is fucked up and will catch you several times when it shouldn't.
>>484276136Malenia was just after runes
>>484275589Exploration is hot dogshit in both the base game and DLC. Imagine being in Shadow Keep. It's supposed to be the flagship legacy dungeon of the DLC that houses the DLC's flagship boss (Messmer) that's in all the promotional material.You explore the area. You come across shinies on corpses. What do you find? Pic related. Fucking low level smithing stones. Crab eggs. Thin beast bones. Not pictured here is other useless shit you find on corpses, like kukris and bone darts.Like 80 percent of the shinies you come across in the game (base+DLC) are either completely useless shit or shit you can easily buy from merchants in infinite amounts.

Used one of these? Congrats, you didn't beat the DLC
>make sword that can change to two forms>both suck ass and unchanged sword is superiorwhy is fromsoft like that?
how do the perfume buffs work? do they only function when you're in the lingering cloud?
>>484276141Reminds me of that one anon in /ddg/ that had a meltdown over people poking fun at his pawn's proportions.
>>484275195I just wish the fun ones didn't have ludicrous FP costs.Wanted to use the golem bro but I don't want to dump a bunch of points into mind as a non-caster.
>>484276509:(

>>484276461What's so great about rolling sparks?
>>484274763Did you use summons? What is your build?
>>484276247All 3 of these? Or just the first? >>484276058I am just being cautious, I spent a lot of time beating the game and dont want to lose the chance to help people with bosses. But I also want to try builds around and Larval tears are limited.

>>484275772I don't think he's "easy", but he isn't hard either.
>>484275664I don't like Ancestral Spirit's music, but I give it points for at least standing out among the endless selection of interchangeable bombastic orchestral screaming battle tracks that fill up the game's soundtrack.Otherwise, I agree with your assessment of the boss. The boss is utter shit, as is the Siofra River area leading up to the boss that requires you to light up braziers (such an overused and lazy concept in games).
>>484276487>reading patchnotes HARD>weapon that now is good only for exploration (just use rykard great rune instead) is LE GOOD
>>484276459
>>484276731Performance got worse. Disable anticheat and play offline if you’re struggling.
>>484276731the game has started to run like ass for me ever since the DLC dropped
>>484276731The dlc introduced stuttering problems but it shoudlnt be THAT bad
>>484276328Idk, I kinda like it. Feels very "plap" only for a 10 incher to pop up to buckbreak omen for Ranni with.>>484276531I'm gonna need the whole story of these fallen leaves

Are int builds viable for PVE post-DLC?
>>484276589It's basically not set up the way it should have been.Instead of rolling till it hits the spot you aim at and dissipating or rolling a set distance no matter how low you aim, it "rolls" to the spot you point and always does the same number of "rolls" no matter how close it is.So if you point it directly at the ground, it just unloads all the sparks that are supposed to be spread in an area usually in one spot, all at once, doing insane damage.
>>484276848>unironically posting gay porn on a blue board Why are you?
>>484276452They really dropped the ball trying to put in stuff for both players rushing the dlc as soon as possible on new character as well as for those with levels to spare and NG+ and beyond. Worst part is that you basically have to have at least 1-4 stone bells available when you start the dlc.I can deal with all the material dung, but holy shit I was mad when that chest atop a super sicrit backdoor into a castle had a fucking single smithing stone in it.
>>484276617>All 3 of these? Or just the first?Yes, all three - or alternatively just copy the entire folder they were in (Its name is a bunch of numbers iirc)Elden rings saves are kinda fucking weird, still dont know why its all in one rather than individual saves per character but hey
>>484276854Jar Bairn won't become a warrior.

>>484276487Dont believe the retard. If anything its better now that you can get the lava talisman in the dlc. For exploration its a god sent with how much hp it recovers per weapon art.
>>484276609No summons. Strength/Faith build focused on using a holy Lion's Claw on the boss's skull at every opportunity.
>>484276761It's still a greatsword with an xbox huge nuke that heals you a shitload and kills basically everything it hits aside from bosses, who cares
Does literally anyone have Ansbach's Bow anyway? There's legitimately no way in hell that anybody could've come across it organically, wtf?
>>484276814Don´t worry, the game said "no fuck you, your specs are too bad. You don´t get to play online." Which is alright, I guess. Not much into invading, anyways.>>484276830>>484276836Dude, it´s drops are fucking putrid when nothing happens. I don´t even want to look at how bad it is when the bosses start throwing around particle effects.I´ll try disabling the anti-cheat.
>>484275560Wrong, Back to ledit with your "DkS" crowd where you belong.>>484275567Yeah, that was actually a good job they did salvaging that pile of feces. Brume Tower DLC is absolute garbage though.

>>484276848
>>484270516>it stinks in here
>>484277367You went in the wrong door faggot
>>484277328What is so inorganical in dabbing on hornsent bitch ass and helping an actually good character?
>>484277328What? On elden ring standards its super easy to come across those summon signs. And the Miquella simp was rubbing me the wrong way since the start so it was as good as time as any to cut ties.
>>484277358The final dlc boss has a spell you need to react to that stutters shit so bad you literally can't because it's all cpubound somehow. It's beyond insane
>>484275664this fight is absolute suffering as a low level with underleveled weapons because hes basically a dps race in between heals, and the roll can catch you as your are rolling and drag you with it unless you roll away from it at the right angle.
Miquella is the dumbest from antagonistIt makes sense he's a faggot
Does using scarlet rot pots against Radahn count as beating the game?

>>484276852spam dodge backwards (assuming you can through the frame drops)
>>484274873Sorceries and Incantations are the same, but from different sources, methodologies and such. The word ‘sorcery’ itself is one that denotes heresy or dissent. The word ‘incantation’ is ironic since sorcerers can be heard incanting their sorceries. The magic in this world is supposed to be ironic the same way it was in real history, the same way Church authorities and the monks were the people actually poking at nature and the unknown, even attempting to summon goddamned demons/angels.Miracle -is- magic by any other name, the same way the incantations are sorceries by any other name. The Church had real monopolizing power over words.There’s a reason the knowledgeable and the learned are part of cult like, even fully religious organizations and institutions, in history. Isaac Newton was like a mix of a glintstone sorcerer and a hard greater will fundamentalist—basically the count Ymir.( Isaac Newton, sometimes dubbed ‘the last of the magicians’ for his alchemical, occult inclinations, was also a heretic in his private hours, and rejected the holy trinity, and argued endlessly about God’s intimacy with the All and Everything. )The big hat gurus that teach of Big Hat’s experiences, or encounter with the ‘Pale Drake’ basically started a religion in the archives. Count Ymir is the ‘high priest’, and yet, he is very much an intellectual. You need faith in intelligence to pursue it all successfully. Even in real life, science has become a religion in its own right, to the point of absolute political zealotry. All understanding is religious to a degree.It all meets in the end, and magic is just a word. A word for wonder, mystery, etc.>>484274997>>484275164These two get it.

Ansbach is such a cool character that I want to make a Mogh faithful now.
>>484277691It moves a book case around right?
>>484277683Just look at him. He is fucking MAD. He rips off his own leg in raw primal pagan fashion, offering it to his waning god, who is likely also fucking FURIOUS. “LET’S FUCKING GOOOO-“ is probably what the fell god spoke to him then, in that one moment of unwavering rage and pain.
>>484277328If you're doing the right thing (going against Hornsent and demigods), you won't have any trouble aligning with Ansbach and receiving his gear.>Captcha: Kill all Hornsent and Gay Gods
>>484277683Mix of camera issues and one attack that fucking blows. He’s fine if you make use of torrent and hit his weakspots.
>>484274763 here.By the way, is there anything else to do in the DLC? I've already seen Miquella's memory, but is that all that's left to conclude? I can't seem to reach the "Gate of Divinity".
>>484277585considering it only does like 3k damage its fine. two to three jumping attacks from nearly any weapon in the game outdamages it>>484277683im going to go ahead and put my money down on it being such an awkward fight for people that have a difficult time blending mounted and ground combat, or for people that only have one playstyle and approach combat in general very linearly
Guess the build.
Got to Radahn phase 2 and I'm done with the game. I agree with Miquella so I yield to him.
>>484275560>old good new badBloodborne came after dark souls 2 you retard.
>Aspect of the crucible: Bloom>it is unbelievably unrealistically impossibly dogshitThe fuck, what the fuck is this. I'd rather have Devonia's centaur stomps, the fucking tongue, the wings, literally anything besides this.
>>484277683Bloated HP bar and one annoying attack.No so bad on NG+ if you've kept leveling. Or if you maxed out your damage stat and do good damage.First time I fought him I was on 60 int with the MGS and it was a pain but second go I had 80 INT and it went by much easier.
>>484277987you rike?
>>484277836>I can't seem to reach the "Gate of Divinity".Dont think you can. Pretty sure its just the Miquella cutscene and thats it. Unless theres some extremely well hidden shit going on but presumably it wouldve been found by now

>>484277257>66 strengthnooo anon the str breakpoint for 2handing is 54!

>>484276540>>484276136Is Radahn not actually Miquella's consenting champion then? What makes him Miquella's "promised"?
>>484278424He will give you it
>>484276996depends on how much of a clown shitter you are

>>484278439We dunno for sureMaybe it was always 1 sided and just Miquella calling him that, maybe Radahn changed his mind after agreeing to it originally, maybe Radahn used Miquella by pretending to be okay with it, there's not really like details about it
Cute siblings.
>>484278439faggot's delusion
>>48427839540 DEX 65 FaithThe dex being that high is primarily for cast speed but also so my weapon doesn't do fuck all damage when the lightning weapon runs out.

>>484278467
>>484278395Faith/Dex is unfortunately one of the weaker pairings, partially because there really aren't any good seals that will scale with your Dex stat except the Frenzied Flame Seal. I would say your best bet is to shoot for the base Dex requirement for whatever weapon you want to use, then focus the rest into Faith and go with Sacred or Flame affinity to scale with your faith.
>>484278769>proper black mage>dresses like an ass clown???

>>484278615>>484278635That actually makes this DLC extremely disappointing to me... I get why they chose Radahn CONCEPTUALLY. His literal husk is so strong that fighting it requires a festival of champions to take him on. So bringing him back at full power is a cool idea. But they should at least attempt to justify it.
>71 physical absorption>radahn still does more than half my hp in a single attackOh no

>>484274997>>484275164>>484277645Kind of like how glinstone and amber are both the interchangeable stuff of life. The stuff of stars, or glinstone, is the amber of the cosmos, as said by Sellen, which is in turn distilled as sap through the branches of the Erdtree, in varying colours. All life, all of it, comes from the stars, but returns to the earth in the end. Laws of Causality and Regression, respectively.Runes are golden amber. They are slices of tree branches, if you look close.

>>484278820I have been led astray by the blue eyesGoodluck on your drops anon
>>484278439It doesn't matter, that's what Miquella decided on and that's what he worked toward. I think the theme of Miquella as a whole is that his "kindly" temperment aside, if he wants something, he does whatever he has to to get it; his brainwashing/heart stealing ability is perfect for someone like him. The only thing seperating himself from complete sociopathy was St. Trina and his corporeal body, all of which he rid himself of, ironically in such a way that resembles a holy pilgrimage that would boost his legacy to people not already charmed by him. I think it's telling that the only memory that Radahn was allowed to keep being Miquella's command to promise to be his consort, and we don't get to hear what Radahn's answer was.
Dancing lion is fun.
>>484278935That's the problem. If an attack does 5,000 HP damage, you're still getting hit for 1,450 HP damage with that 71 percent reduction of damage.
>>484279202nobody says this
>>484279202Agweed
Wow, dryleaf arts is fucking garbage, is there any way to boost its damage without just doing absolute meme faith or arcane builds just for it? I'm using a dex build and their performance is just pathetic in both PVE and PVP
>>484278694The Primeval Fingers…
>>484279227I doFix your skill issues
>>484276136Because the rite involved using a new body for the soul of a Lord. Radahn agreed to Miquella's terms and always accepted to be his consort, but on one condition only.For Radahn to follow Miquella, he would have to be defeated in battle by his champion, to prove that Miquella is worthy. People who claim that Radahn is mind controlled are wrong. Radahn willingly let himself be embraced by Miquella, but wanted to quite literally go out with a bang rather than commit suicide to give his soul to him.
>>484279108What do you mean? Seems to work with poison and rot too
>>48427914167 is technically the equivalent of 100 when 2handing but you get diminishing returns past 54 (1 ar per point)could've had more endurance for panic rolling radahn's phase 2 shite
Faith and Intelligence are NOT the sameScience is the DEATH of GODPhilosophy is DEAD
>>484279303you can't put it on the fist and if you want both rot and poison on one weapon just put it on heavy thrusting sword and leave the default poison enchant
>>484279302Do you think Radahn thought this was fair or bullshit
>>484279302But Malenia lost. Why did he accept that?
>>484279202It would be if the camera were fixed.
>>484279446Sorcery isn't science, it's just occultism (a different brand of faith).All true science works on faith fundamentals anyway.

>>484278682SL? faith seems super high also, not just the dex>>484278839>SealsIMO faith in hybrid setups is mostly a utility/versatility thing. i was thinking of going 40 dex/42 faith with a hint of arc for unrestricted access to the dragon and blood incants. i also want to get a tiny amount of int for similar utility equivalencies. am I just spreading myself way too thin here for gimmicks? i know for a fact i'm going to take a MASSIVE penalty to MND, END, STR and even VIG to fit all of this crap
>>484275195Nope, when I get impatient I just pull out the giant crusher with lions claw which has raped every DLC boss I've used it on within 3 tries. Spirit summons require gathering another 20 types of upgrade mats, that's primarily the reason I don't tend to use them. I've beaten everything solo already so I've got nothing to prove.

I don't really like DLC boss design.Midra and Messmer were cool but I didn't like the fact I had to get to scooby level 15 to not die for making a mistake.My more major complaint is having to just switch my play style and just equip moonveil and only do the weapon art to do damage.If I can only hit one time I just have to do the largest amount of damage possible.Sometimes I could hit them during their attacks but I never found the risk worth it

>>484271002I never payed demon souls, what were the specifics of his level drain? Like, did it prioritize specific stats in a tiers, or did the game remember your level ups and undo them in reverse? And did the losses affect you during the fight, like your max HP or Stamina lowered if you survived or you could no longer swing your weapon because your wielding stats dropped too low?
>>484279446What is a god is merely a matter of one’s own opinion. It’s the same with magic, as it is but a word. A description. Definitely it isn’t a definition. It just can’t be.Seriously, a god (“god”, like “magic”) is a sufficiently powerful or advanced, likely a higher dimensional, alien being(s). To the religious physicist, it is both. They do not cancel each other out.>philosophy is deadScientists today are taking philosophical positions without even realizing it, and it is kind of impossible to separate science from philosophy, the same way you can’t separate sci/tech from art.
>>484279819>The player is Miquella's championWhen exactly did I agree to this?
>>484279732lookin good>>484279913120 has always been dumb. it was dumb in das1, it was dumb in bloodborne, and it was dumb in das3. nobody does this shit man. even within those level brackets, 125 was always preferred, with 90 (97 for bb) being objectively superior
>>484279669I think you'd be spreading yourself too thin imo. Those dragon and blood incants are going to require arcane investment, and won't get any mileage from your dex being 40.

>so much cool shit to use>not enough larval tearsAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA
My PVE character:50 VIG46 Mind35 END23 STR50 DEX9 INT 60 FTH17 ARCI can't beat Radahn. Should I use the sacred relic sword and farm levels at Mohg palace? Is any stat still worth pumping?I use Milady (flame art infuse) with Wing Stance, Finger Seal, and Brass Shield. My armor is Oathseeker Knight, I'm not sure how much difference better armor makes.
Question: what's a good get-off-me option with hyper armor for a pure DEX build?>>484279302Holy shit, I just realized that Radahn draws his swords in the same way that he does in the final boss fight, that's kino
>>484279102as well as hopes, ambitions, and principles you would hold
>>484280218just savescum
>>484280135I'm not talking about meta, retard. I'm saying 120 is the absolute highest cut-off point before your character is bloat-build slop.
>>484279202great boss if you kite him into the center of the arena so you don't get fucked by camera
>>484276838>the whole storyInadvertedly made a pawn with dumpy proportions in an attempt to maximize sex appeal, then got so upset at people poking fun at it he made several increasingly agitated posts defending the pawn and her proportions until the thread died. Then he stopped posting in the thread.
>>484280097>And did the losses affect you during the fight, like your max HP or Stamina lowered if you survived or you could no longer swing your weapon because your wielding stats dropped too low?yes it made shitters furious
>>484276852Ok I figured it out. The best case scenario is you manage roll through the pull (I REALLY miss when there was some plausible deniability to rolling in these games, at least it *looked* as if you were actually avoiding attacks rather than abusing I-frames). But if you don't, you should start running away asap and jump at the right moment.
>>484280218>he doesn't go to ≥NG+7 and get to level 500+ so he can use everythingIt's like you don't want to get value for your $60+$40+tip or something
>>484280097It remembers what the last thing you leveled up was
what enemies do you actually fucking despise more than bosses?For me its runebears and giant shrimps
>>484280097It worked the same way as the spell version you could get yourself. The stat that was reduced was whichever stat had the largest difference between your class' starting totals, vitality could never be lowered, and it took effect immediately.
Timeline may be a mess, but I think I do like the overall themes/vibes of Elden Ring.It's all about the cycle of life and death. Ages rise, grow, wither and die, or at least that's how they're supposed to go.>Dragons held power till Bayle came around and fucked Placidusax up>Hornsent held power till Marika betrayed them and took itBut the Fingers tricked Marika with the promise of the Erdtree when it was just a way for them to reach the realm of the divine to try and call daddy so she'd remove Death from the equation and have an eternal age.When she finally realized things just withered without dying now, she set in motion a grand conspiracy to lead to the end of the age, including shattering the Elden Ring itself.Then we come along to do what she wants and begin a new age, letting the cycle finally continue again.Which is why Ranni's ending is the best one. She's the only one to actually do a new age instead of just piggybacking off the old.
>>484280140>dragon and blood incantsNani? I thought they scaled off of your talisman's spell buff, not your arcane stat>>484280262palm blast on the dryleaf arts is solid. you could also use a light axe like a hand axe with stamp variants maybe?
*teleports behind you*
>>484280458But now I still don't know how to dodge meteors reliably
>>484280552Palm blast isn't a bad idea
>>484280503Yeah I'm prob just gonna level hard on this one character I have and use everything
>>484279596> Sorcery isn't scienceSorcery is a “science” not a science. It’s a description for heretical science, and the dark arts of science definitely do exist.That’s how George does it.The modern day wizard is really the mad scientist, poking at the unknown.That is no different from the occult, or the past occultists, who were just the mad or unhinged learned folk (proto-scientists) of their time. See Paracelsus, Bacon, etc.Raya Lucarians are “scientists” poking at the mysteries of the cosmos.
>>484280248>Is any stat still worth pumping?Level up as high as you need to. Probably get some more vigor. >I'm not sure how much difference better armor makes.It makes a slight difference, but when youre in the DLC the numbers are so high that i dont think it matters much. I think ensuring you light-roll is much more important than any stats from armour are.
>>484280537Any type of dog or birdThere are NO games where either is a fun enemy type
>>484280612*stabs with tree branch*
>>484280401Genuinely lmaoI'm now gonna try to think of weeb fashion to make the regular great katana work.
>>484280379Then why does the dlc assume I'm supposed to have max vigor and endurance?If you also want to play int/faith you are doing a challenge run if you stop at 120
>radahn has the highest poison resistance in the gamek, sure cool why not
>>484280694Oh, I've been medium rolling the whole game. Is light roll that much better? Should I try to get there without the weight talisman?
>>484280383Managing the camera is a core gameplay mechanic that filters brainlets. Too close to a wall or a corner? Maybe take the time to reposition yourself after dodging an attack rather than spamming L2.
>>484280078I mean, Danbooru has porn too, it's just that it's typically better curated. Sadly, they still let in AIslop.

>>484280928whats manlier than fucking a dude
>>484280015Hey your source left out the part that proves your claim that Radahn agreed to do it.
>>484280097also as far as i can remeber the game never remembered your highest reached level so pvp fags abused it by purposefully deleveling on boss and this might be why they invented soul memory which failed hard and thankfully was never a thing again
>>484276852>all the answers to thisPathetic>OP figures out the correct answer for himself >>484280458Based>>484280615You need sufficient distance to sprint jump the meteors to the side. If you get hit by the initial slash where he jumps into the air, it's difficult to get far enough away. Basically:>roll the initial slash>start sprinting away>when he launches the meteors, prepare to sprint jump to the side>in phase 2, he'll follow this up with his ghost slam and you need to specifically sprint jump to your right, strafe the ghost slams (his swords hit slightly to your left, his right), and then roll the final, real slam
>>484280871true but the camera is still kinda ass in these big fughts
I'll be honest, I don't see a problem with Radahn as a boss. They only need to tone down the special effects in phase 2, because you literally can't see shit sometimes with all the lights flashing, and he's good.
>>484280262Because he's 100% himself and the real Radahn, unlike what retards have been claiming for a week. It's actually him in a new body (because the rite required him) that accepted his role as Consort since Miquella had him defeated.The narrative is very simple. Radahn had to die to give his soul and be resurrected in Mohg's body. Malenia and the player get him killed, which is whg Miquella says he will have songs praise the deeds of both for their contribution. Now Radahn, having been finally killed by the Tarnished, keeps his part of the vow and resurrects in Mohg's body in order to be Miquella's King Consort. He is 100% sane and wants this
>>484280979Does snake have puss puss?
>>484280829The DLC is very retarded in that it wants you to have extremely high damage resistance and then made moves that are unreliable at best to dodge when medium rolling
>>484280615If you have a good distance: run left and when the meteors get closer, roll right.
>>484276852If you get pulled you're likely dead. Trying to dodge or jump backwards won't help much. So dodge the pull.
The finger sorceries should have arcane requirements. Why does faith get dragon shapeshifting and blood magic while int gets bubbles?
>>484281017a strong WOMAN chudcel
>>484280775>>484280960He’s still not immune to Miquella’s poison it seems lul ;>
>>484280962I wanted one of every spell type
>>484281127>And champion of the festivalI didn't even realize this was referring to the player character, i guess i wasn't paying attention>all according to keikaku
>>484280125You got memed into it, Miquella is a trickster
>>484280960I'd expect the guy whos defining characteristic is jobbing to rot to not be nigh-immune to stinky perfume.
I wish it was better desu.
>>484281097It's even worse when trying to use magic
Since theyre clearly teasing us by making the winged Fight Knight helmet look so similar to the Penetrators helmet, is there a DLC set looks the more similar to the Penetrators than Hoslow or Bernahls?
>leda's gank fightIt's honestly a fucking miracle that fromsoft has gotten to the position it has when it has literally no idea what people like about their games.
why do we have to kill the regular midra every time when challenging the boss
>>484281097Camera is not perfect, but it's impossible have a truly perfect camera in a third person game. Rolling under a large boss completely fucks up the camera too, and From is aware of that, that's why bigger bosses usually have a countermeasure they spam to get you out from under them, like Bayle and Midir spamming fire into their crotches constantly the millisecond you roll under them. It's a way to discourage the players from rolling under large enemies to avoid camera issues.
>>484280775he only has half the poison/rot resistance of malenia's 1400
This thong has officially ruined me. I'm hooked.
>>484281170I keep telling you guys, that whoever did the spells wasn’t thinking right. Everythin’ ‘bout Ymir is arcane, even for magic.
>>484281289that's admirable but it doesn't really change anything
>>484280829Light roll travels much further, and so it allows for much easier re-positioning. On a fight like the radahn one, its huge for avoiding the follow up holy light blasts after his sword attacks, as an example. Overall its just far superior.Personally I cant play without light-rolls. Going from Light to medium just feels terrible when youve gotten used to it, the difference is pretty stark>Should I try to get there without the weight talismanTry just taking your armour off and attempting the boss a couple of times whilst light-rolling, see if you can feel the difference (also, you can test how much difference the armour makes in terms of how much damage you take - i promise it wont be much)If you feel its worth it, then you can set it as a goal for your build. Using a talisman to reach a roll breakpoint can arguably be worth it, especially if you arent using shields
>>484281314>expects his jars filled with rat poison to be as effective as the queen of rot queefing on radahns face.
>>484281075Miquella says in that cutscene that Radahn respected the deal. Resurection seem to happen only if the subject is willing.
>>484280612Okay. :)
>>484280979so did she actually transform or not like change physically and not just fake appearance
>>484281170Why do you want to make a bad spell even worse
>>484281170ARC/INT lost so fucking hard it's comical
>>484281314He's weak to scarlet rot though
>>484281370just have the camera zoom out more it really is that shrimple
>>484281320It's very good though. The Ash of War true combos into a lot of stuff.
>>484277691>>484277814>>484278273This is unbelievably frustrating, how the fuck does this happen? I have no idea how to even try to fix it.
How are people even hitting RL150 without going to NG+? I ran a new build through the game for the DLC, just beat Relanna and I'm only 119.
>>484281569The wind up is so long though. And it only has the single scaling so any other points you try to distribute feel kinda bad.
>about to beat Rellana>game staggers to a halt>controls go dead>hits me with triple moon AOE while I just stand there helplessHow are people supposed to do no hit runs with a game the performs like this?
>>484281370Monster Hunter has been doing combat with large enemies for decades and it works without a hitch. From is just incompetent.
>>484281479Wearing zero armor in the dlc will get you killed always as the tree fragments won't buff your damage resistance.Radahn having moves that you can't reliably roll outside light is also extremely retarded.I have played all the games using medium rolls and never had much issue until this dlc
>>484281127>Radahn had to die to give his soul and be resurrected in Mohg's bodyWhy? Why not just pair up with Miquella without dying and go bust down the Erdtree's front door and claim the Elden Rune?
>>484281352>retard fumbles every quest when you can reverse gank leda if you do it right
Miquella....
>>484280379>bloat-build slopBy what metric? the first meaningful softcaps for every stat don't even begin until 40, this isn't dark souls dude. they continue to scale decently even out to 80. can you genuinely articulate an example where say something like a build around RL130 to 140 hits a massively game-changing statistical breakpoint where they can overly-outperform someone whose RL120? the only things I can think of are extra END for more softswaps or extra MND for a lower demand on blue sippies in the middle of a fight. everyone's going to prioritize equipment prereqs > equipment load > vigor. you could theoretically spend those extra stats on cleaner hybridization by i dont actually know the validity of that
this hoe relanna ever stop spamming
>>484281660Autistically going everywhere in the game, using Twiggy Cracked Tear to ensure you never lose runes, keeping the gold scarab equipped.Also you can wind up with a lot of runes if you keep running a dungeon only to die at the very end, leading to you rerunning it.I ended the DLC around RL200.
>>484281497hhhehhehehe
>>484281660I got to 150 by just playing every dungeon and equipping the gold scarab after I kill a boss.Also if you die multiple times in a dungeon and get your runes back that will also get you a level
>>484281785Because the deal was giving him death by combat.Also Radahn can't beat Morgott lmaaaaao
>>484281127Sorry sweetie, Vaati already said that Radahn wasn't in on it and millions of people agree with him. You're wrong and you lost.
>>484280749>Then why does the dlc assume I'm supposed to have max vigor and endurance?It doesn't assume anything, other than that you'll collect Scadutree fragments to balance yoirself against the bosses.>b-b-buh it's a challenge run if I use my nuke spells but don't have capped VIG, END, FP, and heavy armor to tank hitsshut up lol
>>484281737>Wearing zero armor in the dlc will get you killed always as the tree fragments won't buff your damage resistanceInteresting if thats how it works. I rarely wear high stat armour, i usually just wear the extremely light clothingIm curious to test the difference now between being naked, and wearing the lightest shit around
jesus, switching from keen+bloodflame blade to sacred+sacred blade aow on my dex/fth char for putrescent knight just about tripled my damagedude's fucking paper against holy
>>484281660I hit 125 before farum on my DLC characters (hate burning the erdtree), if you do side content and don't run past everything you can easily get a ton of runes. I finished my first play-through at 165 but to be fair I did some mohg bird farming with that character.
>>484280379Doesn't ER have a much high soft cap for all of the damage stats?
>>484281785He's a fight maniac. He had an agreement with Miquella, and that agreement was probably "okay but only if you can best me in a fight" so Miquella sent his champion to do it. Malenia stalemated him but at that point his body was useless and his soul was trapped. Tarnished kills him and thus the vow of dying in combat to is fulfilled by you (and Malenia).
>>484281785>Why not just pair up with Miquella without dyingBecause muh pride
You know… this isn’t the first time Miyazaki has put a twink in his game…
the dlc is just an armor of solitude simulator.everyone wears that because it's the best armor in the game if you have room temperature IQ.
>>484281127>Both your deeds will ever be praised in songHow about you cure her from scarlet rot and fix your tree instead you wannabe world savior?I'm glad we had to kill this retarded fuck.
>>484281975I don't even cast spells with my int character against bosses as they are too slow.Nuke spells are fucking garbage
>>484281660i killed every main boss and all the side bosses where there was decent gear for my build. everything but stormveil was done while wearing the gold scarab. i saved my gold feet for the last 5 or so bosses that give giga runes.
>decide to be cheeky and punish radahn with TWO WHOLE FUCKING R!s instead of just one>input reads, pivots 180 degrees on the spot and does the superfast doubleswipe cross slash to punish meGod how DARE I push buttons. Fromsoft clearly just wants to be making movies at this point.
>>484282009>dumbasses finally find out how much of a joke is anything undead when they are weak to holy to begin with and holy buff is just x2 to FINAL damage
>want to do a 100% run>the list of missable quests and rewards is like 5 pages long Miyazaki, why?
>>484281967>Vaatiis that nigger still just compiling reddit posts into a youtube video?
>>484281498Considering she can do it at will and dosen't feel any different physically it's probably just an illusion.
If I use Grand Merchant to get the talisman that Leda gives you for killing Hornsent, I have all the bases covered, right? You don't lose anything else from just murking him later, since he always drops his armor/weapon? I fucked up that questline by walking into Messmer's room early so i'm trying to fix it.
>>484280916I thought thatvwas the sfw one
>>484282142tsk tsk didnt wait your turn
>>484282075>underage boy being cared for by older manhe's done it several times, genuinely does make you think...
>>484282224there is a retarded amount of missable dialogue but missable items, the list is not that long
>really want hornsent's weapon>get it>it isn't a backhand blade its just a regular curved sword, and can't be infused with ashes of warfuckFUCK
>>4842809626/8 is good for exploring in my experience
There is any weapon that scales mainly with faith but that deals physical damage only? whatever type slash, piercing, but not holy/flame
>>484282075>Miquella is revealed>camera immediately focuses on his bare feetHe's not even subtle about it.
holy shit the new grab kills are so fucking hotespecially the scorpion
>>484282401desu I am most paranoid about missing the NPC questsI am always worried just walking somewhere can break some sequence
>>484282142this shit fucking sucks man, bosses straight up cancel animations because of input reading
>>484279669179 nowAt 150 I believe I was 40 58, 10 vigor under the health capUntil I get super high I usually go minimum Dex to use the weapon(s) and faith all in to get access to the spells. Obviously most of the first 60ish levels are all dominated by Vigor but~
MASSAH!>SPANK SPANK
>>484281660On my first playthrough I easily got to 150. I actually stopped at 100, then when it became obvious I still have a long way to go, I stopped at 120, and then finally at 150.Could have probably gotten all the way to 170 or something if I were leveling up normally.
>>484281785>Why? Why not just pair up with Miquella without dyingBecause according to the secret rite scroll: "A Lord soul requires a vessel". Like I said. Miquella had to put Radahn's soul into a surrigate body for the ritual to work. When he asked Radahn, they made this deal. Defeat him in battle and my soul is yours. Radahn lived by the words of Godfrey, a crown is warranted in strength
>>484282474>garbage race of garbage people have garbage weaponsyou were warned
So if Micky wanted Radahn dead, why didn't he send in the dozens of knights he brainwashed into going to the Shadow Lands to go help kill him? Why didn't he just send his armies in the Haligtree and Malenia, who is still strong enough to put up a fight to kill him? Why did he just wait hundreds of years for some random to kill him?
He's so fucking hot. Ugh.No shut the fuck up I'm not talking about Torrent kill yourself
>all DLC NPCs die if you complete their quest linesBravo Mike. I think the only living thing in the Shadow Realm at this point is the Hornsent Grandmother.
>>484282259You have to play the dlc 3 times to get everything.Help hornsent get ash of warHelp Leda get talisman Help Ansbach get bow and you need him alive to get his scythe at the end of his quest Help Leda, get Retaliatory Crossed-Tree, bow, and armor
what does this scene add to the plot?
Marika did nothing wrong in regards to the hornsents
>>484282648how many weapoms had you been upgrading though?
>>484282142Bro, just be a good cuck, watch him play the game for 2 minutes and wait your turn for the single attack.
>>484282803He needs to be bullied and have his hair pulled.
>>484270325Gentlemen, I am once again asking, what is the most poise damaging build I can make? What should the weapon progression look like? I want to destroy poise in 2 jump attacks
>>484282791>So if Micky wanted Radahn dead, why didn't he send in the dozens of knights he brainwashed into going to the Shadow Lands to go help kill himDid you forget that Radahns original boss arena is a literal battlefield graveyard littered with piles of corpses, arrows, spears and all other kinds of discarded war equipment?
>>484282680The death isn't requiredIt was done this way specifically so Radahn could have his larp death by combat.
i hope the next souls game that from software makes is directed by a fully clothed women-fetishist. im sick and tired of seeing female flesh in my video games

I just want a fucking consistent difficulty. It feels so fucking bad when you got a "taste" of the hard stuff and then they give you this watered down shit because oops you upgraded too much and you didn't explore every fucking little thing in each area. It was the same thing with the base game too btw. There's just no way to know what power level you're actually "supposed to" be at, and if you just keep leveling naturally you're eventually going to hit that zone where you beat shit easily because you're essentially just overleveled. Now I'm going into the Bloodfiend Chief fight next to the waterfall with the 2 headed turtle talisman i just got, and... I think it's gonna be piss easy.Now, when I hit the next major boss, will it be different? I dunno. But I just hate how the game seems to frontload the difficulty and then it just gets really easy and it makes me sad. How the fuck am I supposed to know (especially blind) what the "correct" difficulty level is? And once I level up, I can't level down or anything. God I hate this so much, it is almost game-ruining for me. Bros: how is 0 scat level for the whole DLC (NG+0)? Thinking of doing that for my next playthrough.

>>484282302No, if you want 100% SFW, go to Safebooru. Zerochan is also good for SFW.
>>484283002those are the remains of Radahn's own troops who died against the Cleanrots. Hence the tattered Redmane banners, nearby ghost catacombs, and Alexander commenting that the arena was a Shattering battlefield.
>putrescence cleaverwhy did the aow have to be so bad bros
Why didn't Miquella just make a deal with the Tarnished? The Tarnished will willingly die half a dozen times to speak to a flower person. Body hopping once is no issue to them. If Melina could sense the potential in the player Tarnished then the king of dreams should've had no issue doing so either. Like when Miquella senses the Tarnished entered the shadow world after having killed Starscourge Radahn, Rot Goddess Malenia, and Lord of Blood Mogh, he should've reexamined the cards on the table and at least propositioned to the player Tarnished.
I sure remember when Radahn defeated even the mightiest of dragons and showed them compassion instead of killing all of them a la Golden Order style

>>484270516lmao butte
>>484283034You can just not use them you fucking retarded nigger.Go ahead and stop and then for the rest of the bosses you will die in 3 hits and do very little damage.15 will make you as strong as you were before coming into the dlc
>>484281127This is assuming Radahn has any choice in the matter once he's dead. It's like saying that Mohg is accepting of his role as Radahn's vessel just because his corpse doesn't get up and walk away on its own. We really have no way of knowing whether Radahn's soul could refuse the ritual or if Miquella gets to do whatever the fuck he wants with it once he has it.
>>484282791>why didn't he send in the dozens of knights he brainwashed into going to the Shadow Lands to go help kill him?Maybe he did and we don't know. The festival has been going on for a while. Just because we don't see any Miquellans knights in the current festival we attend, doesn't mean he never tried.>Why didn't he just send his armies in the Haligtree and Malenia, who is still strong enough to put up a fight to kill him?Because they jobbed already and he doesn't give second chances.
>>484283272Yeah no, sorry. He loves Radahn. Tarnished is not kind!
>>484283018It is thoughRanni had to kill her body to move her soul and set up Godwyn for it. Radahn was simply killed so that his soul may be resurrected in a new body. The epic battle wasn't necessary, he could have committed suicide.
>>484283212Even if thats the case, the fact that it takes an entire festival and raidboss style encounter clearly implies that its not as easy as just "Sending an army to kill him" Also i expect the battefield has remains of both sides obviously. Wouldnt make sense if it was only radahns solders

Leda fight is the worst thing I've ever encountered in this game by a longshot. This is total garbage. 90% of people don't like this pvp style bullshit and are here to learn bosses, not this stupid trash.
I am angered.
Malenia is such a gross woman that even though she is incredibly strong and would have gladly offered either her body or soul to Miquella for the rite he would rather go through an incredibly convoluted plan to get Radahn and Mohg instead.
how much MND do you guys typically run on a build
>>484283442Raise you scat level as it reduces damage you take and increases damage you do
>>484283673Malenia just wanted to make her brother happy, and to watch Radahn plow him every night from a chair.
So which body to go with? And took the advice to use mad fists and dryleaf and footwork. Sadly we can't use Loux's grapple.
>>484283673that's because miquella is a tremendous faggot that wants to get his shithole cratered, not interested in women
>>484283673He can't use Malenia because of the rot in her body and her soul.
>>484283593literally the only attack you hit with the pata was the AOW that can be put on any weapon

>>484283657>hating on the most kino and /erg/ approved fight in the dlccareful there anon
>>484283624Yes, that's my point. We don't know whether Radahn accepted it or not and we can't strongly say one way or the other. And it doesn't matter because Radahn ain't shit and neither is Miquella. I killed them both and this time Radahn doesn't have the sorry excuse of "waaaah my rot hurts". Killed him in his prime and if I had the chance I'd gut his horse too.
>>484283513The entire plot is Miquella trying to groom a new lord (us), so he gave us Torrent. They dropped that, though.
>>484283770Thicken the legs on the right and go with her.
>>484283175prob radagonI guess that's why she fused with him in the end, since killing the lord could disconnect/destroy its god.
>>484282490>>484283042it's the exact same style as the friede cutscene where he walks in while monologuing over his own foot shot. unlike friede they went as far as to make a separate model for just the feet.
dry-leaf feels weak as shit
>>484279858he's right. that's why miquella calls you champion of the festival and his loyal blade. honestly it's super kino. radahn held back the stars themselves, locking everyone's fates in stasis. every single person in the lands between had to go through him to get fate itself moving again and anyone who was bad enough to kill him had that right to make their own fate.also he was seething over morgott kicking his ass so he locked the stars to cause lol fuck that little omigger no fate for you
Honestly, Radahn isn't so bad once you start parrying him.The biggest enemy in the second phase is the FPS. If your specs fall in the recommended requirements, you should just be able to tweak settings to get a solid 60 fps.Its the most frustrating thing about the boss.The OST has grown on me. Pretty good theme desu.
>>484283801I hit him with it earlier in the match, but cut it out of the webm for brevityIt's hot hard to hit with, it has the very fast claw moveset with giga range
>>484283379>>484283542I mean, I refer to my previous point:>I just want a fucking consistent difficulty.It really honestly feels so bad when you actually get the quote unquote "real" dark souls experience, and then you're like "oh i forgot something" and go back to an early area and it's like you're an invincible god. that doesn't make me feel good that makes everything feel tedious all of a sudden. i think it's why i always enjoy the first like 10 hours of a new FromSoft game and then i get to that point where everything becomes piss easy and it starts to feel tedious trying to complete quests or go to new areas where everything is piss easy to fight. yet like you said, if i don't level it at all it's going to ALSO be a nightmare in the opposite direction.it's all so fucking tiresome it's unreal. like the beginning of the DLC was so cool and now i just feel sad one shotting bosses.
I am contemplating whether or not using the scardutree fragments is worth it, I mean I don't want to steamroll the entire DLC but I don't want it to be a cakewalk like the entire base game. How many of those things do you actually need?
>>484283390Radahn's movement, actions and mannerism matches that of his cutscenes. That's him. Miquella wouldn't claim he accepted his duty and came back of his own accord if that wasn't true. It's a very japanese thing, but aligns with Radahn's character. He accepted to become Lord after being defeated in an honest duel, which explains why Malenia whispers to him that he has now to keep his word
Messmer is a big gay. There is no way he wouldn’t go balls deep in Rellana, unless he was a big gay.
>>484283834unironically go into the dungeons to collect the fragments then leave. only about 12 of them are actually locked permanently behind bosses
Do people really struggle against Gaius?I found him to be one of the easiest bosses in the DLC, on par with Romina and Midra
Patch to make Radahn's swords scale with FAI when?
Any theory saying Radahn didn't want to be Miquella's consort needs to explain why he is literally named "promised consort". To be promised to someone is to be engaged with them. If it was an arranged partnership then literally who "promised" Radahn to Miquella. Only option that makes sense is that Radahn promised himself. Nobody else had authority over him, and Miquella wouldn't call him "promised" if he just coveted him. Prophecy doesn't work either because Miquella literally discarded his fate at the crosses.
>>484284154how'd you fight him, how many times did you die, and may i see your build
>>484283593>blind spot>alt-f4name a more iconic combo
>>484284023that makes sense.
>>484283673The only reason he got Radahn is because FROMSoft was too lazy to make the final boss prime Godwyn.>wants to orchestrate the eclipse to bring Godwyn back>prays for Godwyn to have a true, proper death>DLC finally gets here, Godwyn nowhere to be found, the resurrected strong big brother consort role now goes to Radahn the guy never explicitly mentioned in relation to Miquella in the base game even onceWe were robbed of true kino.
is it possible to survive the wickerman grab attack if you stack fire res super high?
>>484284089All for Radahn.None for the rest of the DLC.That's how overturned Radahn is.
>>484284019miquella halloween costume
Godskin Stitcher is STILL the most aesthetic weapon
>>484283442you need scooby doo fragments
>>484284113He is le depressed though :(
>>484284281I survived it once with like a sliver of life once, actually
I don't know why anyone would even bother to speculate that Radahn was mind controlled. One of his top fucking knights went along with Miquella's plan specifically because she knew it was something that Radahn would like.
>>484270516Don't have a screenshot on hand but Priestess heart Dragon form + Dragon King Cragblade.All I wanted from the DLC was gravelstone armor but we got the first effective and actually Cool dragon forms in years.And to boot we get it from the Dragon Boss that surpassed Midir.It's just so fucking peak.
>>484284323god dammit anon
>>484284207NTA but as a FAI/DEX build I beat him second try using Milady and Wing Stance and associated skill talismans. Build is here >>484280248 but I was many levels lower
>>484284094Weak evidence. Miquella's charms don't rob a person of their mannerisms. All the NPCs we meet act the same way in that regard before and after the charm wears off.
>>484284154I'm pretty sure most of the people that complain about gaius found him early and had no scadu, like most people who complain about rellana or dancing lion
>>484284327>we never got the godskin scythe
>>484284323Hehehehhehe
>>484284286Don't tease me like that that anon, I'm starting to get kinda hard, are you for real?
>>484283716depends on what im doing and how often i spam weapon arts. i dont like sipping blue
>>484284448
>>484284380Because people are superficial these days and don't let anything marinate for a while, especially when content creators need to bombard every media with content about lore and easy answers
I'm actually fucking running out of stamina just dodging Radahn's shit. The downtime between half his combos is so short you spend more stamina dodging than you can regain until he finally does one of the big recovery moves.
>>484284380No, she went along with it because she wanted Radahn back. She makes no mention of whether he'd like it or not.
I liked bloodborne more, I liked dark souls 3 more, I liked Nioh 2 more.Thanks for reading
>>484284596Is this the best Talisman nowSo good
>>484284286>>484284509you two should have gay sex(and record it and post it online)
>>484283846Oh yeah, tell me more about how fighting like 5 NPCs with health pots one of whom has a 1-shot-kill cast, and another who can instantly scarlet rot you is kino. If there were actual boss AI in the structure of the fight it would be one thing, but they're just NPC invaders constantly ganking you as though they were alone and this AI is literally designed as one of the most difficult 1v1 fights in the game to the point where deathless/hitless runners are most concerned about doing NPC invasions for shit like varre.But it's fine. 1v5 is kino because leda said the line from the trailer.
>>484284023Gets kinda boring quickly too

>>484284657>I liked bloodborne moreBased>I liked dark souls 3 more, I liked Nioh 2 more.Cringe
>>484284509I might be exaggerating a bit but I found the rest of the DLC too easy when I explored throughout and gathered fragments along the way. Was skibidi lvl 19 when I got to Radahn and got my shit kicked in.
Miquella shouldn't have needed some big Raddy Daddy. I think it would have been fine to have him "summon" different bosses from a list that he had stolen the hearts of.A boss that is sort of a boss rush, but he's also on the field throwing Golden bananas
99 vigor 99 end 99 strength
>>484283770god I love that helmet
Repopulating hornsent by impregnating their women with human seed
>>484284657I liked DS3 and Bloodborne more too, thought both Nioh's were kinda shit though.Your welcome for reading
>>484284269I agree. I remember when Radahn final boss leaked here I believed with many posters that it was a fan mod/hoax. The eclipse being totally absent from the DLC is maddening. I guess Miyazaki decided the Those Who Live in Death storyline was already the 'complete' Godwyn story, which sucks because it's the least explored one besides I guess fell curse.
>>484284702>1v5Your npc summons? Your spirit ashes?Why the fuck are you walking into a 1v5 gankfight alone and then complaining about getting ganked? Are you retarded?
>>484284714Also scadulevel 13
So, what are the go to, good talismans I can use regardless of my build aside from Erdtree Favor? The scorpion talismans sound nice but they also look like they would get you killed more often than not
>>484284914>spirit summonsyou can summon spirt ashes for the leda gank?
What happens when summons get grabbed (twice) by Radahn? Gesture death, normal death, or do they become reds? Latter option would be sick, but I never summon hence why I'm here asking
I get that the Shadow Realm is where dead people go but how come the Tarnished can just go in and out of the afterlife willy nilly?
>>484284463>Weak evidence. Miquella's charms don't rob a person of their mannerismsMiquella has no power over Radahn in the first phase. His power comes from the circlet of light he appears with from the Gate. The final cutscene talking about the deak is evidence enough. For it to be wrong you have to imply Miquella is lying about it which would be pointless.
>>484284754>get a character ready for a 2nd playthrough of the DLC>realize I forgot about the skibidi fragments>instantly lose interest>mfw
I think Miyazaki is a hack and left it up to interpretation whether Radahn is mind controlled or not because he wants this game to be discussed onto eternity.
>>484284168Because that's what Miquella, the guy that orchestrated his death and is forcing his resurrection, wanted him to be. You know, Miquella, the guy that literally forces everyone to do what he wants and doesn't ever leave the choice up to them? Yeah, I'm sure he just accepted whatever the fuck Radahn chose in the end.
>>484284870guess you could say this poster is horny

>>484284650Yeah she does. She says Miquella's plan suits General Radahn just fine. Endless war is his whole deal.
>>484284837Did you actually went through the DLC without using any fragments?
>dont engage with skad>WAH WAH TOO HARD>engage with skad>why is this so easy?Skad is the worst idea From has ever had, and the DLC would be greatly improved if you simply removed the mechanic and adjusted boss HP/damage numbers accordingly
>>484284961they cant be grabbed dude. it does like 30 damage and negligible stance damage
>>484284596I don't know if you meant to reply to me but I never use this talisman. I used something like >Shard of Alexander>Rellana talisman that buffs lingering stance attacks>The best PHYS resist talisman>Twin turtle talisman
>>484284960Yes
>>484285120what the fuck im not that other anon but i feel like a fuckin retard finding that out this late
>>484285083>Miquella charms literally everyone all the time>UH BUT HE TOTALLY DIDN'T CHARM RADAHN T-TRUST ME
>>484284959see >>484284596which makes the game unironically more fun
>>484284965ITS NOT LITERALLY THE AFTERLIFE YOU FUCK LOL>>484285015Cringe artists are already pretending that Miquella x Radahn is actually a good or wholesome pairing lmao kms
>>484284327Just pretending the DMGS isn't there?
>>484284669Happy ending?
>>484284914NTA, and I got both NPC summons for that fight, but I still think that the idea of having to do that gank squad solo (with mimic I guess) is painful. Especially since the monk will cast infinite scarlet rot, that's fag shit given how the arena has no cover. It really does encapsulate ER boss design: take a boss from a previous game (DS2 gank squad) and make it super fucking retarded because there's at least one obscure piece of gear or NPC quest that trivializes it so you no longer care about making it fun or balanced.
>>484284168>Miquella wouldn't call him "promised" if he just coveted him.You're ascribing logic to the thought process and actions of an insane person. Miquella was, in the absolute best case scenario, a narcissist with a savior complex. Someone that was not just physically, but also emotionally, a child, if descriptions of his character are anything to go off of. Combining this with his powers of suggestion/coersion/outright brainwashing, he's an extremely dangerous and unstable person. This is before he shed his "humanity" and his love via getting rid of his physical body and alter ego, which would make all of these negative/toxic character traits far worse. You're now left with a psychopath that thinks reason other than his own is just noise that needs to be quieted, and if brainwashing doesn't work, using others go murder for you so that you don't get your hands dirty works just as well.
>>484284702>Doesn't have Ansbach OR Thiollier to back him up>Or worse, he does but he refuses to summon them for some arbitrary reason The fight is kino because of the dialogue interplay between their team and your team.
>>484285065She also says that is just her opinion on Radahn, and even mentions that Jerren would disagree.It is left to interpretation.

>>484285015New wallpaper thanks
>>484285575>>484285509Yeah, why care about anything the game tells you
>>484285430It's literally only Miquella that calls him that in the present, which is why his boss title/item descriptions from items you get AFTER the fight that refer to him as a promised consort say that: we of course know that he's Miquella's promosed consort if Miquella already told us that. There's one item that says Malenia called Radahn "promised consort," but she was in on Miquella's plan, so of course she would know that.

Newfag here, how can I practice combat and mechanics in this game effectively? It's stupid to me that the game revolves around bosses, but I can't fight them again unless I literally cheat.

>>484285290>Guy doesn't like it when people hurt and sees an avenue to stop it and the shattering war>INSANE PSYCHOPATHBeing an Empyrean, Miquella is absolutely one of the top people in the universe you can argue actually has a responsibility to try to save people. "Wanting to help people from a position of authority is actually EVIL" is a totally sophomoric take. Even in the text itself, Miquella is presented as sympathetic but misguided at worst. He is a tragic figure. Trina urges you to kill him not because he's a megalomaniac but because he is not deserving of the living cruelty that is godhood. >>484285575She literally blooms a third time after phase one? First and second blooms were against Radahn and at the Haligtree (you can find Haligtree bloom in game). Malenia is the goddess of rot.>>484285509Godfrey is the first Elden Lord of the Erdtree era. Placidusax was from before that time. There's no contradiction. It's like objecting to Augustus being called first emperor of Rome by pointing to the long passed monarchical era of Rome. Godfrey actually gives additional evidence to "promised consort" being consented to by by Radahn because Godfrey changes his own title against you when he takes back his Loux name.

>>484286994>Being an Empyrean, Miquella is absolutely one of the top people in the universe you can argue actually has a responsibility to try to save peopleI agree, and to the outsider, looking at the Haligtree and his treatment of the Albinaurics, it certainly would seem that he was doing that. But we also had the descriptions of the Bewitching Branches and a few other items that hint that a) he may be perfectly okay with charming people for his own designs no matter the cost, so long as he achieves a goal, and b) he was planning something big that involved said charming ability. Now we have the DLC, which shows the extent of that. We now have the implication that people bewitched by him have murdered who knows how many people/waged how many wars (Malenia, Loretta, Leda, the list goes on). It's also worth pointing out that if you hit parts of the Divine Gate, it bleeds. So there's fresh corpses in the pile, and it may even be a new gate. Hell, could even be a new level on the Enir-Ilim tower, which definitely looks to be made of bodies. So, Miquella is trying to do.something good as an Emyrean, sure, but he's clearly prioritizing becoming a god first (through a ritual that condemns who knows how many people), and has had no problem piling bodies by the thousands, hornsent or otherwise, to get there.
AHHHHH I DON'T FUCKING GET ITI can't dodge Radahns teleporting bullshit - none of them, what the fuck is this shit
>>484287890Yeah but I just figure the boss out and then...that's it. Like I killed fire giant in less than 10 tries, not cheesing just figuring out his movement, but I don't feel like I actually got better at fighting at all. The summons at jar champion still destroy me easily. I was hoping there was some other enemy that respawns but still gives good practice, not the stupid imps and things.
>>484279969Ranni has nothing to do with fire, same reason it can’t be Malenia or god fior is “St Trina”.

>>484289095you have to run not roll
>>484281837>By what metric?by the roll and poke spacing meta. hes a PvPer and the height of PvP skill is to "space" your enemies and you only need 60 vigor and a bit of points into dex to do that, so anything else is excessive and cheesy, you can put some points into spellcasting instead of dex, but thats not viable against a good roll and poke meta build because he can just roll all your spells until you are out of FP, that spell that does chip damage by rollcatching you needed to be nerfed btw. also the same guys saying this cheat engine in infinit consumables to spam
>>484285337fuck off mohg
I haven’t played the game, but I keep hearing youtubers call it the king of cosmic horror. Is it really? Is it just giant monsters and gods and they use the term cosmic horror because it’s popular to claim something is?
>>484296194There's a ton of outer gods involved. One of which is the embodiment of rot.
