Radahn is dishonest garbage and the nerfs can't come soon enough
post 'em!
Now that the dust has been settled, is Melina for (you)?
It was a very strange choice on Miyazaki's part to have such a late April Fools prank with the absolutely silly and low quality Radahn boss fight. When is the patch that removes the April Fools content and adds in the Godwyn boss fight coming?
I need a build that uses poison hand. I wanna be a lil poison bitch in NG+
Fromsoft has gone overboard prioritizing spectacle over gameplay. The DLC had precious few fights that were of the quality I've been conditioned to expect from a Fromsoft expansion and instead most of them felt mechanically like disposable das3 main game bosses but with more particle effects.
Whoever came up with GIANT SPIDERSCORPIONS WITH WINGS THAT CAN ALSO DO A SONIC ROLL AT SUPER SPEED ON GROUND deserves the noose.
>Be the only good part of the DLCYou can't prove me wrong.
On replay, what parts of the DLC will (you) be skipping?I think I will be skipping all of the mini-dungeons (catacombs, caves, mines) that don't lead to another area of the map. I don't remember getting anything meaningful from them, all my equipment upgrades came from either legacy dungeons or questsAlso>DC Seal scaling got buffed when SOTE dropped30/45 FTH/ARC gives 320 scalingAre there any comparable seals/staffs or is this thing now the undisputed GOAT for NG?Prince of Death Staff got buffed but it still does pitiful scaling unless you're at NG+ stats of 80/80[repost from last thread, was after this thread was created]
>>484372835yeah it's actually really fun seeing people's different builds and playstyles interact with each other in seldom furious battle, even if most of the time a fight is quick and cheap it does not diminish the efforts on either side, and when the combat between two players actually shines it is well and truly glorious
SO CLOSE TO PERFECTION YET SO FARWHY CANT HOSLOW'S GREAVES BE A SLIGHTLY DARKER TINT?!WHY COULDN'T THEY GIVE US AN ARMOUR SHADE/TINT OPTION IN THE DLCAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAARGHTHIS IS KILLING ME
tryhard pvp clips that aren't just goofy silly shit are the most cringe posts on here
>>484372835You play for the singleplayer until it runs out and you still haven't had enough, then you settle for the multiplayer because it's all that's left.
>>484372925why the fuck would you ever use it over weapons that do the same thing but better
>>484372873>large rump ahead
>>484372936the gap closers are all shit design because they're super predictable and super punishable.I shouldn't feel "Oh thank god Radahn/Gaius/Messmer are doing the dumb anime gapcloser time for free massive damage" when they're doing what is supposed to be a visually impressive attack.
starscourge radahn should be a harder fight than mogh (both solo).
>>484372694Empyrean pussy is built for BTC
>>484372873Are cutscenes cheating? I haven't really settled on a "design" yet, though I lean a bit on Finger Maiden set to match my character's backstory somewhat.
>>484373056helm doesn't match
>>484373056Lords of the Fallen had this
>>484372873I firmly believe that in Mesmer's absence,as his killer, I should take charge of his task until no Horsent remains to plague these beautiful lands.Bless Marika and Bless the Golden Order!
>>484373139The helm matches the best. Get your eyes checked.
>>484373052>different buildslollmao
Radahn is fun and fair with no summons or shield I can't wait for egirls on dance pads to come and embarrass all you shitters again
>>484368505holy is the most important one because of radagon/dlcbarrier of gold is good thoughI dropped most of them except holy for now and started upgrading my twinblade and buffing with orders blade (for crucible wings later)just watched a host with fucking messmers spear get stunlocked by radahn(the normal one)s arrows they would have died without healing. am I just enabling retards?they got hit by reentry too.might work on a different character.
>>484373042I really liked Belurat. Some top atmosphere, variety, and the keys and hidden Miquella Cross made it seem bigger than it actually was. I hope that From starts adding in more keys to their dungeons, I want a Zelda-esque experience of needing to key-hunt to progress and/or maybe finding a level midway through the level that changes up the environment.
>>484373236This person is definitely not a mentally ill tranny.
>I am Melina>*opens her one eye*>and -EYE- offer you an accordDoes she think she's funny? Is she having a laugh? Why did she emphasize that word right when she opened her one eye to us?
>invade>fogwall>fogwall>humiliation ritual>fogwall>humiliation ritual>fogwall>afk host who has taunters on for some reason>fogwall>fogwall>humiliation ritual>spawn next to a magma wyrm and kill all 3LETS GOOOOOOOO INVADER BROS WE STAY WINNING
>>484373056There is literally no reason for the winged serpent helm have brownish tint. Yet it does, just to trigger people combining it with Fire knight chest for the dmg boost. I fucking hate it.
oh boohoo, should have thought about it when you were slaughtering marika's people for no good reason.
>>484373125They do this on purpose because typically if you're at range long enough to see gap closers consistently it's because you're a mage trying to kite the boss and they intuitively understand that playing a mage should be 'easier' because it's gravitated towards by people who don't want the difficulty of melee gameplay.They could easily make gap-closers into combo starters to relentlessly pressure mages but largely avoid that on purpose. I think the main exceptions are Midra, who seems designed specifically to challenge mages more than melee, and Radahn's second phase lightspeed bullshit.
>>484373303The "Me" in "Melina" means "eye" in japaneseSame with Messmer.
>>484373236Phase 1 is actually brilliant and feels like im fighting Gael again, Phase 2 feels overtuned, the main issue being the light beams making it harder to see wtf im doing.Its overtuned mostly if you're doing a 1v1 but I think a little tweak here or there could make it the perfect capstone to this game.
>>484373303>hello, old friend>it’s been 5 minutes since she left usYeah, Melina is a jokester.
Consider the following >>484372473
>>484373236
>>484373283They really like using Lain pics and idk why.In 2024, whenever someone posts a le smug anime girl I assume they're a tranny by default tbqh
I've just dropped Messmer, i'm sitting on 400,000 runes and i'm RL170. What is the new meta set to be for RL? I want to stay in the rough region of it because I really enjoy being summoned for bosses and co-op. Some people have been saying stay at 160, others say up to 200.
>>484373127his name is mohg
How does the Japanese community feel like about Swift Slash? Do they think it's broken or just good?
>>484373042It didnt have spiderscorpions thus you are correct. Abyssal woods had great first impression but fell flat on its head when the "scary thing" was just bunch of shit stains that have invul taken away by just one parry.
How would a cold fire knight greatsword go?I'm assuming just hitting them would immediately remove the frostbite, essentially changing frostbite into bleed.I'm mostly worried about the 3 way split damage.
>>484373269I think Belurat is too short. It reminds me of Stormveil Castle but way, way more linear. I like Hornsent Grandam's dialogues, though.
>>484373447>RL170You should should push towards RL 175 if you're already there imo. It's the last level where you're allowed to be summoned by RL 150.
Am I timing Golden Retaliation wrong or is it actually meant to still result in chip damage even when you parry a spell with it?
>>484373504Japanese people play this westaboo crap?
>>484373447>What is the new meta set to be for RL?Most people will be 200-250 by the time they finish the DLC. In the future it will probably be around 175-225 since it will be people doing replays and skipping side dungeons, etc.
>>484373345they're throwing caster a bone compared to base game where you are relentlessly spamming with gapclosers
>>484373432nta when did we start hating on lain? I didn't sign that bill.
>The invader just did half my hp with an attack combo>LET ME MASH R1 AGAINhostclitties literally cannot control themselves they are so thirsty to own the heckin redchud and teabag them so they can post about it on reddit and farm upvotes
>>484372474>implying being able to invade other people's games to fight them with YOUR guy who you've been through the entire game with and not just some prefabbed developer character isn't one of the coolest ideas ever put into a video gameThe fact that people still soldier through From's terrible networking even after all these years shows there's demand for a developer out there to do the mechanic justice.>>484372769God the horse at 0:06 looks like a fucking billboard sprite.
>>484373691too many secondaries
>>484373621I assume so.
>>484373691I don't like Lain because it's crypto-gnosticism especially with emphasis on Sophia, for some reason. Gnosticism is too evil for me.
Nectarblood Burgeons are so easy to farm wtf
>>484373828japan is religiously dead what do you expect
>>484373303She has her mother's sense of humor.
>>484373828>gnosticism is too evil for me>plays a crypto-pagan game instead
Someone sell me on STR/INT. I want to try it out but I don't know what to actually use on it or what the build spread should look like.
>>484373708That's the first one you've posted where you've come across slightly decent players.Granted R1 spamming in a situation where you're about to die is fucking retarded.Nice work
>>484373283filtered >>484373392It's definitely not a perfect fight but it's not deserving of the hysteria surrounding it at all, I thought it was really fun and I agree P1 is very clean and better than P2 >>484373432I watched Lain back in 2016/17, a few years before the big resurgence among trannies
>>484373392Phase 1 has its share of bullshit, mainly the cross slash and the fact that most of his attacks actually end their recovery while he's visually still recovering, and just has him skip the transition animation to snap to attacking.Similarly, the fact that he has no turning animation when transitioning from recovery to attack and instead literally just snap flips his model 180 degrees to reorient--that one is clearly just them cutting his bugged turning animation from the pre-release version because they got clowned for it.His phase 1 could be an honest fight with some polish but right now it's clownshit parading as a straightforward fight. The second phase is unfixable clownshit. They chose a clown gimmick to dilute an otherwise serviceable concept with and there's no way to walk back on that.
>>484373828>looking inside yourself is "evil"huh?>>484373747everything is that now, elden ring is that for souls games thank god it didn't happen before because muh too hard (its not)
The most technical does in SotE are the wicker mansAlso I adopt the alatreon-stance that a good boss has just as many openings for the biggest attacks as it does the smallestThat said the cardinal sin, made most apparent is that coop should not exist9/10 bosses move ridiculously all over the place and as a cooperator trying to chase down a boss, it's apparent these sometimes 10-foot tall enemies are annoyingly fast for how big they are, which wouldn't be so bad if occasionally their oversized and spazzy models didn't displace my character aside and force a missed attack
>>484373737>God the horse at 0:06 looks like a fucking billboard sprite.i love how he jumped the second spin to win and didn't get hit even though the weapon clearly went through his body. the hitboxes are just as shit as they always have been.
>>484373962str/int is actually just str but with an int tax so you can spam gravity weapon skills
>>484373946cool OC anon, but I doubt Miquella would love Radahn!>>484373962Don't know about DLC spells, but all of them are trash other than Rock Sling. So you should just stick to 20 int to use cold infusion.
Seriously and unironically, what is the lore reason for why I, the Tarnished, can't have sex with and impregnate Marika, the hyperfertile (proven beyond a shadow of a doubt) goddess? What is the reason??
>no new arrow or bolt recipes in the DLC despite all these new consumables and pots and crafting materialsLame as fuck.
>>484373879Yea get ready for everyone to spam lulling branches. They'll also equip the St Trina's Smile so they get easily proc sleep to get a nice damage buff.
>>484373575>It reminds me of Stormveil Castle but way, way more linear.Stormveil is the best legacy dungeon in Elden Ring by far so it's an unfair comparison.But I agree that Belurat would have been massively improved if the optional areas looped back into the main path as an alternative progression path.
>>484373575Belurat and Enir Elim are the same thing, they are even connected to each other via Euphoria drop. Together they are pretty damn good.
>>484374060dlc has a decent amount of soild spells for both fth and int and a bunch of actual garbage
I know dual wielding is generally good, but I seem to recall someone saying dual halberds is shit, is this correct?
>>484374095you have uhh one dragon arrow and one arrow with alluring pot effect (useless garbage)
>>484374176yes
>>484372873I exclusively play fashion souls at the expense of my actual effectiveness.
>finally kill Putrescent Knight>go into cave>some sort of statue>"drink nectar">do it>it kills meTHANKS FROM. REAL COOL.
Is it just me or the items in the DLC don't give much information about the world? But I'm still in the first area and have only beaten three bosses. I have to say that entering the cocoon and not having any intro is a bit sad.Elden ring had a lot of cinematic for give setting and atmosphere.

>>484374316it's just you
>>484373327poop tint for poop helmet
>>484374285>drinking the nectar bricks your savewhat did they actually mean by this?
I wanna do a FTH build, do I need to rush to Altus/Leyndell to get some actual good seals and incantations? And important items I should grab early?
>>484374285it's not a statue and you need to die 6 times to hear all of her dialogue
>Godslayer Greatsword build is at level 200 and still haven't done shadow keep, etc.I might get enough levels to do a John Elden Ring build (Tree Sentinel set, Godslayer Greatsword, Fingerprint shield)
even if you aren't abusing rolling sparks these things just shit over most physical weaponsno self buffing required, just way more damage output than anything else with the free powerstance and elemental multipliers, it hits 1500+ baseline damageand this isn't even counting how you get a physique slot for +20% damage too, or the 2.05x damage you deal in skibidi realm, which hits 3k+ damage on endgame enemies
>>484374316All the items are written to impart emotion rather than illuminate the plotIt's manipulative and terrible
>swear on rnjesus I hit the destined death parry after dodging perfectly just like obongl (while cooping)>no, eat shit (5% hp remaining and hp burn)netcode could use some work
>>484374285imagine if the final battle was Miquella riding Redhan against the Tarnished ridden by Mini-Ranni.
>>484373056This is almost the exact same outfit I had for the last 40 hours. Just a different helm. Good taste.
>>484374160My comparison was more along the lines of "The path to the boss is very short if you're not taking your time". It happens everywhere though. But at the very least Stormveil, Volcano Manor and Leyndell have side content.I also hate how every encounter is an enemy in the corner, I think it's very retarded.>>484374161 I'm also not a fan of Enir-Ilim. Like many things in the DLC, the only thing it has going for it is that it looks good.
>>484373554>muh damage when he intends to spam not-bleedyou bitches really need to minmax every single nonimportant thing
>>484372873I think my Northman warrior is coming along nicely.>>484373181Hello, Dark Paladin nigga.
>>484374332This jobber got ayy lmao super AIDS after losing to Malenia then I killed him twice and married his sister so he's not really the main character
In case you haven't realized, the scorpion charms are busted in the DLC due to skibidi scaling, 2x the attack boost, half the damage negation debuff.Magic Scorpion is insane on INT builds.PVE only though obviously.
>>484373843There's a bunch of advantages;1) You have full stamina recovery speed during guard points.2) they allow you to attack into openings you ordinarily would not be able to.3) They have great guard boost and thus can be used with impunity (provided their not infused)4) Great stamina reduction on said guard pointsMore importantly they can carry offensive weapon arts for people who wish to partake in hard hand-swaps.The cons are one the learning curve; The first 4ish hours are going to be you just eating shit because you haven't gotten used to when guard points end and the next 4 will be you learning that if you're one handing or off-handing the weapon you still need to roll.The other con is the damage: Blocking with either flavor of the dueling shields fucking hurts especially when it's elemental damage. As a result, you have to be pretty fucking tanky in general. Easily my favorite weapon type bar none. I can see them getting a nerf. I hope that the nerf isn't too hard.
holy FUUUUUUUUUUUUUUCK
>the backhand blade running r1 keeps you in a running state so you can immediately go into ma running r2 rollcatchThese things are actually nutty even without Swift Slash.
(Reposting)At Radahn now so here are my Remembrance boss rankings:>0 - Gank SquadHoly fuck that was fucking amazing. The real final boss.>1 - MidraBy far the coolest boss. Learning to exploit his openings to stance break him was fun and his moves are very fair. Wish he had more lore though.>2 - MessmerPoster boy. Kino lore. Kino presentation. Cool cutscenes. Godly magic. End of the best legacy dungeon in the DLC. Just about perfect. Except he breaks the camera with his spastic attacks.>3 - MetyrCool as fuck lore. Good build up. Great arena. Awesome design. Kino attacks. Entire questline. Clear exploitable weaknesses (The stage is water. Use lightning.)>4 - Bayle (it counts)Igon. >5 - Scadutree AvatarReally like its design. Obvious weakness to fire. Fair combos that lead to openings that are easy to exploit. 3-phase twist was fun. Nice mechanics overall. Shame it leads to nothing, like Gayass, and has lacking lore.>6 - RellanaI fought her late in the game so she was very easy for my build. Even so she has a kickass design, cool abilities and interesting lore. Shame she has no dialogue, cutscenes or build up.>7 - RominaCool boss and character design. Sensible mechanics. Just felt very forgettable to me because she doesn't really say or do anything else.>8 - Putrescence KnightWay better than those below it. Actually decent boss. Reasonable attack patterns. Has annoying gimmick with the blue flames but otherwise pretty fair. FTH builds have plenty of options with Holy and I believe the battlefield conducts electricity from charged Lightning Spears.>9 - Dancing LionYes yes very cool. Also broke my camera, has annoying special effects overload and was just generally unpleasant to face.>10 - Commander GayassHe's broken. Shit to fight 'fairly' and piss easy to cheese. And he leads to nothing. Cool concept but just very poorly coded and thought out.>11 - Radahn and MiquellaOvertuned overly flashy dogshit with bloated damage and health values.
>>484374404lightning spear is in Liurnia, beast spells are just boss-locked, most before Leyndell, and black flame throw is in Stormveil.
>>484373575The closest thing to Stormveil in DLC is Rauh. A region sized legacy dungeon with a billion of interconnected passages. There are so many of them i still don't think i've explored it at 100%.

>>484374674>parryingYou didn't beat her.
DLC had fun areas to explore but most bosses were just unfun bullshit. I felt no sense of accomplishment when I beat them, more like 'wow that bullshit is finally over'
I think this game post-DLC has the best fashion out of all of them.

>>484374885dont golden and thops parry have the same frames? i just wonder why they're using a small shield with it. maybe for aesthetic.
>>484374631they still give exactly what it says on the tin, +12% dealt +10% takenthey're the worst damage multipliers but still worth usingif you're using any of the methods that have talismans you should use the other ones. +20% to perfume no drawback. +15% to 2H weapons no drawback. +15% to weapon arts no drawback. +15% to horseback no drawback. +15/20% after triggering whatever, and especially for general pve (not bosses) the +15% to all damage for 20 seconds after killing any enemy. All better than scorpions
>>484374737I explored it 100%. There's genuinely nothing fucking there. The main loot is the sperm thing behind the illusory wall, a few spirit ashes and pest thread spears near the end.It was easily the worst area of the game for me. Convoluted and difficult to navigate but with nothing to find and basically no interesting enemies. Just endless hollows, multiple annoying ninja hornsent ambushes and like two Horned Warriors randomly patrolling a revered spirit ash.
>>484374846If you don't see the fun in having a 3v4 death match at the end of your journey with characters you encountered and grew to know then I don't know what to say.
>>484374468You don't because costs quickly spiral out of control after 200 and require cheating or higher NGs
>>484374674I expected some Excalibar at some point, but the result was similar.
>>484374581what helm did you use?
>>484374714I've never understood why people think the gank squad is a hard or good fight. It's decent, but it's nothing amazing. NPC's are free kills in Elden Ring. If you're a mage you can just spam Night Comet nonstop and they wont even try to dodge it. Any other class just has any number of ashes that can instantly kill NPC's.
>>484373447180-200 should be fine.>>484374918Parrying literally turns 7 hit combos into 1 hit combos, it's easy mode tier cheating, git gud and play as intended.
>>484374846The gank squad fight is easy because you have allies, but the banter between characters paired with the music and the way people gradually trickle in to join the fight was 10/10 presentation. It felt like the climax of the DLC, as opposed to Radahn just coming out of nowhere with his god backpack.
>>484375064Good presentation is half of what makes a good boss fight

All the bitching and moaning about the "harder" bosses in the DLC is just par for the coarse on every release.Pseuds with an overinflated ego just can't deal with their little powerfantasy being broken. They really expected to go in to the DLC and wreck shit, because they had finally gotten good at Malenia or whatever after years of grinding. Then they start spouting made-up nonsense about unavoidable AoE attacks and unfair hitboxes, while there are already videos in the making of people no-hitting the bosses they're complaining about. Its mindbaffling honestly, just admit, to yourself, that you aren't as good as you wish you were, improve, or go find another, more rewarding hobby to stoke your ego.I had to fight Radahn 50+ times before I killed him in a way that I found acceptably skillful, but not once did I cry about anything being unfair, I simply wasn't paying enough attention to my positioning, my reaction time was too slow, and I wasn't brave enough to commit between combos. But I got gudd, and enjoyed every second of it.My only fear is that by the time the next DLC or a new game comes out, I will simply be too old to keep up with the pace of the combat, I'm still young, but even I feel the ravages of time on my fine motor skills.
>>484374765Bosses like Rellana are literally designed to be parried.
>Objective flaws in Radahn's design1. Radahn's afterimage attacks have no hurtbox and he can do these grounded so some punishes to attacks get "eaten" by his after image strikes turning off his hurtbox frame 0 as he charges them.2. Radahn's love of long anime combos can lead to periods of 20 or more seconds where he is only vulnerable for a tiny amount of time, removing interactivity and forcing you to play a damage avoidance minigame where the dilemma on where to push aggression is completely ignored3.The boss has no answer to greatshield strats.4. The boss has numerous one-shot attacks in his arsenal which can kill even with 60 Vig + 20 Skibidi + defensive talismans thanks to multi-hit protections not being properly enabled. His grounded afterimage attack can oneshot you ect.5. The boss has attacks that are undodgable outside of elevation differences. The 1-2 slash even had challenge runners using Crucible talismans for extra i-frames because to consistently dodge it without extra iframes you need to already be in a certain position when the attack starts.6. Visual disaster - A combination of Miquella's hair a giant bright white beams and the effect on his afterimages make parsing what goes on in the fight almost impossible.7. Inconsistent effects - the ground crumble effect used on his stomp and pulling his weapon out of the ground are the same and usually indicate grounded attacks but you can jump the stomp while not being able to do so for the weapon pull.8. Height jank with the uneven arena is rife which causes unintended interactions and random whiffs9. Uneven moveset. Some moves can oneshot you and have no hurtbox while others like Miquella's Light, his grab or his tornado gravity gapcloser are easy to avoid and have gigantic punish windows which both encourages AI abuse and makes winning feel overly dependent on 'lucky patterns'. If Radahn spammed the 1-2-cross slash the fight is artificially much harder than one where he spams grabs.
>>484375327I think Radahn is just a SHIT boss fight and people are coping about it being terrible
I think we should all go chainsaw the host
>>484375327>>484375384>>484375427like clockwork
I've been wanting to do an INT/FTH build since launch. Did the DLC finally provide the build with any melee tools?Base game had very underwhelming tools:>GO seal (very good tbqh but only for incantations)>PODS/Gelmir Staff (very underwhelming damage in NG)>SONAF which is just a weapon art simulator and has terrible R1 damage due to 3 way split damage
>>484375138Eleonora is the best NPC invader thougheverbeit.You can even infer that she planned to betray Mohg all along.
Why does looking at Marika make me so fucking horny?
>>48437538410. His grab gives you so much free time that it's arguably better to trade and get hit by it in a lot of cases as Radahn just stands there post grab and you get a full stamina refill. You should NEVER want to get hit by an attack.11. Getting into Phase 2 with a crit doesn't teleport you to Radahn which breaks the intended flow of the fight.12. Boss is very easy to parry cheese or Deflectcheese. The final boss shouldn't be so weak to defensive strategies, he shouldn't completely crumble the moment the player steps outside of rolling.13. Some defensive strategies are framerate dependent, on a fight that directly attacks your FPS. Running away post gravity suck is perfect if you get a solid framerate but any dips and you die instantly.14. Poor performance on a lot of his moves in general.15. Very poor looking animations on a lot of his moves, specifically the spinning gravity gapcloser and Miquella's T-pose16. Unlike good fights (Gael) Radahn has very few audio cues to denote specific combos, which would have been a great way to make up for the visual mess.17. Not a consistent direction for Radahn's dive which is a fucking terrible way to implement an attack that kills you if it hits.t. just finished my 4th DLC run
>>484375327>summons mimic tear and first tries Radahn with bleed/frost shield pokeThis game is easy.
>anime picture>shitty, low quality postmany such cases
>>484374674Remind me what shield is that?
>>484374674the fuck is that weapon art
>>484375042I was using Helm of Solitude. The lighting in the game makes all the various armor tints look close enough.
not dealing with unfunny tourists go fuck yourself you know who you are. or perhaps not, if you hate anime LEAVE you're not welcome on this ENTIRE WEBSITE dont argue fucking leave.maliketh went fairly well
>>484375483Why did she do it, Yura bros?
How would you guys feel about deflecting being a base game mechanic?Would it be too op and unbalance the existing content?
>>484375513she's hot
>>484375564Wing stance
>>484375513Because you're a coomer retard?
>>484375586who are you talking to
>summoned for the fucking dancerI mean thanks for the rune arc but that seemed as excessive as when I was summoned to push Gideon's face against the wall and have my way with him
>inflict poison>sleep shotgun>land poison flower while they're stunnedCould it work? Would the damage even be worth it?
I thought that at last my asshole would be saved from getting ravaged by Radahn, but alas, I am denied once more
>>484375702your mom
Radahn is genuinely the first time I gave up on fighting a boss solo on my first run. I could've probably switched to greatshield poke cheese, but I decided that if I am going to engage in this gay shit I might as well have fun and summon someone instead.
>>484375543
>despite being your consort beloved, ranni does not sleep in the same bed as you>across the bed is a chair she sits in to sleep>it's a little unnerving when she forgets to close her eyes before she sleeps>one night you decide to move her to the side and snuggle up next to her>wake up with frostbite, ranni scolds you while rubbing a fire grease soaked towel on your side>next morning you wake up to a chill in your arm>ranni's miniature doll is snuggled up against you>her empty body on the chair is smiling
>>484375643Sort of? The base game flips flops between encounter design that makes sense in a souls-like and ones that belong in more action oriented games like Wo-Long, RotR, and Sekiro.So it'd break a good amount of boss fights and be satisfying on others. Like the shitty ass gargoyles are already free so not much would change but Mohg would get mogged>>484375770With poison flower, it all works as long as you can land the kick.
>>484375770why wouldn't you just use thiollier's sleep needle which is designed to deal massive damage to sleeping targets? seems like a lot of work
>>484375643Yes. Because when you misstime a deflect, you still just block and blocking has basically 0 risk or oppourtunity cost except eating a little of your stamina. The whole balancing factor of blocking is that your stamina is limited, so when most of your 'blocks' are deflects and you only lose stamina when you fuck up, your resource is basically never pressured and your defense is almost perfect.
>the very first NPC you meet in a new game is VarreWhat did they mean by this?
>>484375770where are people getting all the mats for the sleep shotgun? I've run into so many of these dudes
>>484375978to punish chuds who try to kill every npc they meet
>>484375837Thanks
>>484375770>sleep shotgunyou get chainsaw'd
>>484375643It would be garbage and shouldn't have been put because the enemies aren't simply designed for it, and it trumps over the stability values balance.
>>484375978That... that you meet Varre first?
>trio boss>duo boss>boss with summonsI'm about to give up on the game. It's just not fun to fight non-solo bosses.
>>484375978Roderika is technically this game's Crestfallen Merchant but they moved her a few save points later and unkillable
>>484375978its actually your dead maiden then melina and torrent then varrewhat they meant is miquella sent him via mohg, and he probably killed your maiden toothe one in the church of anticipation that gives you the soapstone I mean finger.
>>484376089Miyazaki balanced them around summoning spirit ashes, npcs and collecting skibidi fragments. Your loss.
>>484376004They cheated. Twitch invaders normalized cheating consumables and now instead of just being a thing a few weird autists do it's just the standard for pvp and even reddit runes mule services to dupe 999 of whatever material you need.
>>484376089use spirit ashes
>>484375895Generally I do her quest and delude her that I intend to take her as my bride, but then I always end up using the Rune of order.

>>484376089Crowd control issue
>>484375631Is there a bigger jobber than Yura?
>>484376089There’s 1 mandatory duo fight and you can summon a powerful NPC for it or cheese it with sleep pots.If you’re getting dogpiled then consider using spirit ashes to split the pressure.
>try +10 Tiche for Radahn>Spirit blessing level is 9, 1 shy of the max>she eats a single combo in phase 1 and immediately diesIs it bugged? My mimic tear has like 20k health and facetanks well into the second phase but every other summon seems to just die immediately no matter how strong they were in the base game
>>484375483is her poleblade still one of the better arcane build weapons? ive never run an arcane weapon ever and i was trying to theme out an arc build
>>484376289No Radahn just deals that much damage.
>Mohg, Varre>Malenia, Miquella>Radahn>Miquella>RennalaHow many got ruined? How many characters will be reduced to fucking nothing?
>>484376004It refreshes now anon we all get to be cheaters isn't that great? :)
>>484376264The two Bloody Fingers he kills>>484376289The Mimic either gets hard knock down (so invincibility frames) or somehow just has fuckloads of HP that the other summons don't have.
>>484376145>>484376153>>484376248>>484376265I'm using wolves and they are just destroyed in mere seconds without dealing any damage. They win a few seconds but that's all. Should I use solo summons which are more powerful?
Is Shadow Keep really the biggest legacy dungeon in the game now? I'm currently going through Farum Azula and it feels way bigger.
I want Marika to piss on my cock
>>484375643The fact that shitters successfully pressured Fromsoftware into adding deflects, even if limited, is the only actual disappointment of the DLC.
>>484376342refreshes?
>>484376151>twitch normalized dupingare you new here, what the fuck are you talking about? it sounds like you learned about the game via twitch or something, that is not a new thing.
>>484375907>>484375959Fair. Maybe it would be alright on weapons that get rekt on blocking, or only for physical damage, so it's like parrying but with less risk and less reward.
Can someone point me to the new items that give lore on carian dolls being moddable and how Godfrey was clapping Radagon's cheeks too?
>>484376421What level are your wolves?And yeah the solo summons that take ghost glovewort to upgrade are generally better. To go to’s are mimic tear, tiche and dung eater
>>484376239The patricians taste>>484376317It is, but you have to like twinbladesIt being strong won't suddenly make you like twinblades if you hate them.
>>484372873Poison is super strongNot even meme'ing
>>484375978The Mohg/Miquella storyline was important from the beginning.
>>484376151Eh online merchants have existed since DS1. Nothing new
>>484376494In arena you get all consumable/ammunition back for free
>>484374674holy frick this is so epic I bet this would get so many upvotes on reddit
Why do people lie about Godwyn not being able to come back to defend the rushed Radahn asspull?
>>484374993>>484375107>If you don't see the fun in having a 3v4 death match at the end of your journey with characters you encountered and grew to know then I don't know what to say.I helped Leda kill the horn nigger and ansbach then refused to summon because I'm retarded so I hated that fight, Radahn is ludokino people will come to appreciate in time. P2 Radahn OST is also the best in the game https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aePAZLmAwu8&t=147sI'll admit I probably should just have swallowed my pride and used summons for that one but even still I don't know how you'd rank any NPC fight among the highest unless you just don't like this games bosses to begin with. Especially with kino like Messmer and Midra I'd rank them >Messmer >Midra >Radahn >Rellana>Metyr >Romina >Lion >Gaius >Putrescent Knight >Gank Squad >>484375327You don't need to be a shit about it but yeah Radahn is really fun if you take the time to engage with him. People who see bosses as a fun puzzle to figure out as a reward for their progression will like him, people who see bosses as an obstacle standing in the way of their progression will hate him
twitch normalized summoning
>>4843753841. then dont attack the afterimages2. you can still get hits in during the animecombos, even with a colossal weapon, learn2position3. yes, you can always pull a greatshield out of your ass if you want. let the gamer-parents have their 1 win after weekends of attempting the boss4. the only attack that oneshots you from full health with a proper defensive setup is a 2nd grab5. crazy how people no-hit it then6. fair, its a bit much at times7. not fair, just adapt to it8. fair, elevation and staircases is where game mechanics go to die, but just try to keep that in mind when fighting him, same as Mohg, dont fight Mohg on the stairs lmao9. you can get attacks in between every attack, ofcourse it would be easier if he stood in a corner doing nothing by pure chance>>48437551610. what a weird take, how about just avoiding the grab and getting an attack in, and then positioning yourself to regain stam and keep attacking?11. eh, I guess12. Parry is cheese now??? Is rolling attacks also cheese? 13. literally false, just start running away "while" being sucked if you notice you fucked up fast enough, my rig is NOT good and I still consistently dodge the followup to the suck14. works on my PC, but thats just because im USED to playing with 30 FPS or less at times15. fair16. fair, more distinct audio would be a blessing17. roll "into" it, never had an issue with itt. RL80 parrycheese chad
>>484376491>successfully pressured FromsoftwareHonestly it feels more like from pressured itself.You can only ask people to roll so many times in a row before having to acknowledge you're ruining your gameplay and need to provide active alternatives.

Placidusax is a lot cooler than any DLC fight
>>484375092>Parrying literally turns 7 hit combos into 1 hit combos, it's easy mode tier cheating, git gud and play as intended.Basically, you're a sissy that enjoys being humiliated and demeaned.
>>484376662Godwyn’s soul was killed. It would have been an even bigger asspull if he came back.
>>484376584ive never used twinblades
>>484376421wolves is like a d tier summon, use a good one. if you're early game use skeletal militiamen or demi-human squad. midgame greatshield squad or mad pumpkinhead, lategame tiche and mimic, dlc yosh, taylew, jolan & anna, horned warrior, divine bird warrior. there are more good ones too.
>>484375703>not enjoying fucking Gideon's bitch ass even furtherthey should have put a permanent red summon sign after you beat him which would initiate a rematch and let you test shit on him or just bully him further
>>484376696NTA, but it feels like a worse Gwyn in that parrying just completely invalidates almost everything he does.

Cut content?
>>484376683Summoning was already normalized. It was normalized all the fucking way back in DeS. This sweaty "never summon anything" shit is a disgusting plague that showed it's face in bloodborne and never went the fuck away
>>484376317Yes, it's one of the best weapons in the game period. I played the whole DLC with it, it shreds everything with right talismans. Twinblades hit twice, and the WA hits many times, leading to constant bleed procs.
>>484376647oh, I never do thatI'm an invade enjoyer
>>484376676>Retarded anon hates the gank squad and likes RadahnTypical
>>484376676Yeah, there are certain times where choosing to summon is better.>Hornsent vs Messmer>Igon vs Bayle>Ansbach + Thiollier vs Leda, Dane, Morre and Freya I would also say Ansbach + Thiollier vs Radahn is kino but they bloat his health by a fucktillion and he's already an extremely difficult fight. While adding nothing strategically to make up for it. Summoning them is arguably he boss on hard mode.
>>484376875starlight shards refresh now too
>>484376594You tried that scarlet rot kick AoW? Any good?>>484372873
>>484376841You're supposed to ENJOY the SCENERY. The fuck you mean "the point"? Are you soulless?
>>484376865what talismans should i be looking to use with them
>>484374619>>484374161>>484373575Every Legacy dungeon was a letdown. Belurat and Enir are both far too linear. Shadowkeep is downright fucking empty and 3 minutes long. The best experience in SotE is going from Church District into Specimen Storeroom and then clearing Shadowkeep going backwards. That's the ONLY experience in the DLC that's close to something like Leyndell or Subterranean Shunning or Stormveil or Farum Azula.
>>484376978even in invasions??!
>>484376982nta but it is VERY fucking good.If you're running a dedicated poison/rot combo build (and the rot can just come from the kick itself, that's how fucking strong it is), you will absolutely fucking CHUNK bosses.
>>484376784they're not badI'm just now realizing I have zero dark souls 2 screenshots. my first full run was twinblades with buffs (all, but gravitated to lightning and fire in the end)
>>484376594You should get yourself the bleed charm and bleed infuse those weapons and also equip the poison glove in your offhand with lord of bloods exultation. You could inflict bleed and deadly poison while getting buffed by Rot Exultation, Mushroom Hat, Poison Hand and Blood Exultation. That sounds really strong.
>>484376841uhm actually the chalice has like 6 scat blessings in it you chud
>>484376841bro you paid $40 to go on vacation to the land of shadow, just look at it
>>484376773No, you didn't pay attention, there's a whole subplot about resurrecting soulless demigods and there's and a large amount of build-up in the main game surrounding the Eclipse ritual and the possible resurrection of Godwyn.
HOLY SHIT SUCK MY FUCKING DICK YOU NIGGERAHAHAHAHAHAHA I AM FREEEEEE
>>484376317No her twinblade is a contender for the worst arcane weapon in the game. Its AR is abysmal despite being split damage (pure physical twinblades actually beat its AR) and its bleed is about half what a blood-infused regular twinblade would be.It has a unique R2 but it's slower and weaker than the regular R2 with less range so why bother?It has a unique WA but it has terrible forward movement and tracking despite being a slow, low damage dash skill. All it's good for is staggering and breaking posture in pve but the animation commitment is stupidly long for what a spinning strike twinblade could already do and the second hit (which is the main damage) doesn't combo in pvp so it's just a joke. It's one of those weird and janky niche weapons that feels like the animators ran out of time to tune it and never bothered to revisit post-release because it wasn't popular enough to justify the work
>>484373828Anon, Elden Ring is super gnostic. Did you even fucking read the Metyr lore? It confirmed in no uncertain terms that ER's cosmology is a Gnostic cosmology.
>>484375978that you should learn when to trust npcs and when to realise that you should cut them off
>>484377145good job cutie
>>4843771215 and they aren't even in the fucking chalice. They're just laying on the ground randomly.
>>484377185I wonder how people who get flustered by the occult react when they realize what HERMETIC seals are.
>>484377084Man I had exclusively used scythes and twinblades in DaS2 because that's what the red rep midget gave me.I got pretty fucking good with both. I really fucking liked the reward aura you got for killing enough people without losing. Practically let the host know his life was about to endBut then you got invaded by a blue cop in your own world who ALSO has the blue shimmer from his faction letting you know that YOUR life is about to end.
>don't like the Radahn fight in DLC>has no impact on story>no meaningful dropsI might skip Consort Radahn on future playthroughs
i feel a little bad that i still haven't beaten radahn without a bit of cheese, but my first 2 runs have been challenges, i'm gonna beat him normally first
>>484376683>this retard thinks twitch taught people to praise the sunFucking lmao, did the site even exist back then?
>>484376706>Honestly it feels more like from pressured itself. No, quit the bullshit. All fights are designed around the base game mechanics, and blocking and light rolling are quite literally the most efficient options for Radahn.Normalfaggots wanted deflefts because they wanted the epic Sekiro combat (even though they could just fuvk off to Sekiro).Elden Ring was built with the vision of an ARPG. If you want to be more aggressive, you have dozens of actual fitting options to achieve that, blocking and countering, jumping and running, tanking and trading hits. People don't understand that and don't want to engage with unique mechanics, they want streamlined by committee combat that meshes whatever popular elemebt frpm a bunch of titles in the spirit of NINTENDO HIRE THIS MAN. But I expected that from the mediocrity that are Souls-likes, not for Fromsoftware to cave in like this. Even the gay Pokemon summons that you can just ignore were far more fitting and a better way to lend a hand to casuals, but whatever
For all of DLC timeline we are Marika's bitches. Fact.
>>484377145congrats, sis
Ahh, Gnos. Or as some say, Gnosm
Do we know anything about the demigods that died during the shattering?

>>484377314no people used to stream with youtube until they became intolerable (copywrite and shit) then twitch did the same thing no fun allowed anywhere on the internet anymore, i'm surprised limit breakers haven't been sued by squeenix for using cait sith music and stuff in their videos.

>>484377145I will dilate extra hard today in your honor, xister!
>>484376683It's literally the opposite. If you never heard of the online Souls community and you just played the game normally, you would naturally use summons if they fit your playstyle. And then complain that the game is too easy. I know because that is what I did. I only briefly tried DS1 when it came out but I found it too clunky and the PC port to be too shitty. Trying ER I thought it was a boring easy game until my friends told me that you're actually supposed to ignore core mechanics to have fun. So people watching e-celebs and interacting with social media are the ones who know you shouldn't summon.

This is the location that the imbued key takes you to, is there really no way to use it as a way to get into the area after the Shadow Keep?No trick like that one in the base game where you die under a bridge and alt f4 then spawn right in front of the mimic boss?
>>484376810mimic is midgame, not late gameand the only summons worth shit pre mimic are rotdog, imps and skeletons
>>484377584No there's just no reward for it. Unless you want ugly off model Radahn swords or Miquella's incant
>>484376142Why'd bro kill our maiden but then set us on our path anyway? It's so weird that he seems generally kind and doesn't get upset if you say you think the Two Fingers are cool; he just says, "oh, well. I guess I'm done here. Enjoy becoming Elden Lord or whatever." Killing your own maiden is how you usually become a Pureblood, but because we didn't have one, we had to go find another. We don't even kill one; we just find one of two dead ones. Seems weird that he'd go and kill ours.
>>484377626cover your ass nigga
I like this spell
>>484376696>Don't attack the afterimagesYou failed at the first hurdle. He can begin the afterimages at any time after he's finished an attack, which means slower attacks going for a hit between one attack and the next can have their moves get eaten by afterimages.>You can still get hits inRadahn can do his dive attack, land away from you, immediately go for the meteor spam into after images into the aoe pillar of light. This is 25 seconds where your only chances to hit are if he landed close enough to you from the dive (and even then only once) and at the very end.>Just adaptBeing able to adapt to an objective flaw that goes against the basic tenents of game design does not mean that it ceases to be a flaw. You're approaching this as if I'm someone who can't kill Radahn and trying to go "Skill issue" because you're unwilling to recognize the actual flaws and come up with brainlet cope like this.>You can get attacks inbetween every attackFailed basic reading comprehension, cannot even understand the point. An easy to avoid attack gapcloser that does very little damage should not have a larger punish window than a difficult to dodge long combo with rollcatch timings, aftereffect light pillars and a massive damage finisher. The power budget on his attacks are fucked.>Why not dodgeIf you want to trade you can attack, get grabbed, then attack, then dodge the followup but if you avoid the grab you just dodge then get a single hit. Taking the grab is easier.

I prefer just to run Endure though, it's far more versatile and R1/R2 spam melts everything anyway.>>484377113When exploring I'm running Taker's Cameo + Serpent for HP on kill, on bosses I switch to Hand + whatever Tali I need.I'd rather rely on Poison gimmick exclusively. I'm running multi-hit stuff with defensives on top of Endure, I can just trade into some bosses and ignore their attacks entirely lelAt times this build feels like cheating, actually one shot Rellana at 7 and Metyr at 9 skibidis
>If you don't like Consort Radahn, you just wanted to fight Godwyn!What kind of argument is this?
>>484377948Who's the best DLC spirit ash?
>>484378013You have to parry when his sword is yellow. It’s only like 2 or 3 attacks.
>>484378096>>484378016No argument, I accept your concession.
>>484378013I hardly parried anything in my basegame playthrough. I tried to learn the dumb madness eyeball things that you can't kill without parrying and it was just slamming my face against a wall hundreds of times till I got lucky consecutively. I killed all of them in the area and I still don't understand the parry window, that's with golden parry.

if I use scarlet aeonia and that new butterfly spell with the dragon communion seal, will the rot build up from those spells be increased with my ARC stat?
>>484378109The amount of people demanding Godwyn is pretty fucking retarded, despite his very death is a major plot point in that he was killed with something that REALLY kills people.The best they could hope for is some kind of Godwyn memory shit like DS2.

Every single time.
>>484378078>>484378163yeah I got that but it doesn't landthe 3 ranged beams and then yellow glow oneI don't know if the pillar drop one counts and I don't really want to stand under that, but his sword does glow yellow there too.I just can't get the parry to, parry. I got it once about 10 minutes ago. I could have probably beat him but im trying to learn his pattern properly for once
>>484376946The only boss I summoned for was Bayle and it ended up trivializing him since I was able to just wail on him while Igon took aggro, but it was worth it for seeing his story through and hearing his monologue. I just wish you could re-fight bosses the way you can in Sekiro so I wouldn't have to choose between story and learning the bosses moveset without split AI
I think it's cringe we don't get Radahn dialogue, and I think the remembrance choices are DOGSHIT (light of Miquella is worse than giants flame take thee, the two swords should not have been separate from each other, and are int scaling holy weapons, and suck ass, and are just reskins of his base weapons), but other than that I don't care.

I guess? I suppose you could just bait his gapclosers for more comfortable punishes, if you want to make the fight drawn out and gay, but safe5. sure, if you want to get FAG-COOTIES from Miquella! It all comes down to how you want to fight/win. If you want to, you can pull out a greatshield, or parrycheese, or get some more free damage in by letting Miquella molest you, or capitalize on his gap-closers being more punishable than weaving between his combos.Dont be mad at me you big dummy, I'm trying to make you enjoy something I enjoyed.
>>484372694I have been playing the DLC after a long hiatus and I have to say that I am kind of disappointed. Elden ring's boss and enemy design was already kind of shit, but this DLC took it up a few notches. Pre-existing issues haven't been fixed or have been made worse to boot so I genuinely don't know if I want to finish it or not. If you haven't bought the DLC, I suggest NOT doing so. Currently it still suffers from:>Bloated boss kits>Massive amounts of input delay (tested on my PC and a friend's PS4)>Dropped inputs>Enemy attacks still go through walls, especially boss projectiles>Boss ganks>Camera issues are still prevalent, you fight it just as much as you fight the boss>piss poor balancing overall.The new weapons and armor are cool, as are the new spells. It also gives you the ability to just flatly upgrade your stats via shards you find around the map, which is cool. I just don't think its a very good DLC and showcases the worst of From's design philosophy.

>>484378408Invade and co-op because not all invasions and not all co-ops are like that.Also, if you get into a gankers world, it is your civic duty to waste there time. Do everything you can to get away and hide in the map and go AFK and watch a movie or something.
>>484377910I don't like it from a story/lore point of view, I would've much preferred Godwyn. Bringing back Radahn is capeshit tier, but mechanically it's kino that filtered millions
I grievously misjudged Ansbach's scythe. The WA is actually great and definitely makes it work using.
>>484378447the timing is pretty close to a real parry, imagine if the blade sends out a big invisible sphere and if the sphere hits the blade while it's gold you get the parry. you'll usually hit if you spam it at the right time
>>484375907>and ones that belong in more action oriented games like Wo-Long, RotR, and Sekiro. none of the enemies aren't designed to be engaged with. just because you can't spam a button to nullify their attacks it doesn't mean they don't work.

Did anyone actually play without looking stuff up?I'm doing my first playthrough now and limgrave feels kinda like a weaker ubisoft game.Big area, no challenge, rewards that I won't use.Is it worth the experience of playing blind or should I just start googling what content is worth doing
>>484377328>All fights are designed around the base game mechanics....And the dlc is receiving massive complaints about them, imagine that. Turns out having to wait out a billion hit combo string isn't engaging no matter how easily you can do it.Which is literally my whole point.>you have dozens of actual fitting options to achieve that, blocking and countering, jumping and running, tanking and trading hitsLmao disingenuous retard. Block counters are either too slow to hit most bosses or too short ranged, and trading is gonna get you outpoised and interrupted constantly. Running is ass given the camera's limitations, which is why people mostly strafe while locked on instead.Jumping is a very good idea, but the implementation is shit. You can't expect people to engage with a mechanic where they have to rely on intuiting hitboxes rather than seeing them, it's one thing to jump obvious ground attacks your character completely clears like rellana's moon or godfrey's earthquake, a whole other to just expect people to jump shit and exploit the idea of half your character model having iframes and never knowing whether you're gonna be cut down in flight or iframe through a slash that clipped you.Also if adding deflects is caving then the base game adding bloodborne rally in the form of malenia's rune is caving too, in spite of nobody asking for it. Which makes you wonder whether it's caving or just from wanting to expand the gameplay to begin with, since they have absolutely no reason to compartimentalize the shit they create.
>>484378096>Miquella is basically a cape.the problem is that we have already seen this in DS3

>>484378770Do whatever you want. Video games are hobbies. If you don't enjoy wandering and finding random things that pique your curiosity to investigate, then look up specific stuff to go after. Or spend all your time in PvP. Or hack in an Armored Core and fly around the map shooting shit.

>>484377782>dog get staggered to oblivionWorks on my machine, its only purpose is to apply scarlet rot while you hit the boss so you have to waste less time killing them. Imps are better but not everyone will bother either picking them as gift or traveling to academy just for summon>mimic scales on (You)using your consumables infinitely is broken so mimic immediately hard dabs on every summon other than niche cases like tiche for dealing with shit that blends mimic to death as it doesn't dodge or florissax to buff youAlso i forgot Latenna again she's pretty good but a massive detour to get
>>484378765you'll learn to appreciate what you got now when you don't get half of this shit anywhere else, and all the other games are trying to be this (via modding, skyrim...Todd Howard hasn't done shit in ten years oh wait space game lol...poor guy)
>>484378651I feel like I'm not being understood.In the games listed, mobility is just as important as parry/deflection and so the player has tools necessary to keep up with boss movement regardless of that bosses movement.In Elden Ring you don't have these tools. When a boss jumps the distances of the arena back, you hold that. If an enemy "dodges" a stamina intensive attack/sequence, you no longer engage with them as you're now on the defensive for stamina management.There's various aspects that the player has to engage with at the games pace rather than engaging it on theirs. Entire spell lines aren't universally useful on bosses solo do to cast times and vulnerability windows. E.G; even a single dragon claw on Radahn will have your shit tossed before the roll. The spell isn't equipped to handle the fight due to the heightened aggression, lower windows, and longer vulnerability.It's fine if you disagree. This is just my opinion.
>>484374674What armor is that? Loving that cape
>>484379015A tank mimic can technically just casually live forever with prayerful strike and a greatshield. It's very whacky. The only thing even remotely holding it back is how stupid it is.
>>484378984Kinda wasted in the DLC
>decided to check recommended level for O'neil>40>I'm 38>barely damage him>only normal way to deal a damage to him is parry which I can't do consistantly>needs a few minutes to kill his minionsI'm too dumb for building games. Don't even know what I'm doing wrong.
>>484379192royal knight loretta
Rude reminder that miquella is TWO PEOPLE, MIQUELLA AND TRINA. It is the exact same as the marikaxradagon scenario. They are two people in one body.When the game talks about young miquella in plurality, including his flashback, he is talking about him and trina. Not maleniaWhen something is associated with miquella that doesn't make sense to be associated with miquella (example: sleep, spirits, etc.) It is associated with TRINA
>>484379203as the dlc added marika's blessings, mimic is the absolute s+ tier spirit bar none
>>484378770>no challengeSo you already killed Tree Sentinel, Margit, Godrick, Crucible Knight, Bell Bearing Hunter?
S U R P R I S E Q U I Z Z 1) There are many easy to execute methods of circumventing Elden Ring's challenges, i.e. "cheesing". And with the release of the Shadow the Erdtree release, new methods were discovered, along with old ones rising to relevance again.The list bellows contains a few keywords related to very easy to execute "cheesing" methods used in Shadow of the Erdtree. Choose the keyword related to the least dishonest method. (1 pt)a) Thrusting Shieldb) Greatshieldc) Rolling Sparksd) Impenetrable Thornse) N/A. All keywords are equally dishonest.You should be able to solve this.

Is there anything left after the DLC's final boss? I've found Ansbach's and Thollier's equipment in the arena, found Trina's flower at her place, is that all? Nothing new at shaman's village, hornsent grandma, Empyrean's Cocoon, Redmane's Castle, Radahn's arena nor Malenia's arena.Missing anything?

>>484379554No, but the Mimic gets to use it
>>484379503doesn't matter to me>>484379554no. mimic can use consumables on your hotbar indefinitely. hefty pots good too.
>>484379279Oh yeah without a doubt.
>>484379304f. none of that is cheese its using overpowered shit.point blank dark bead for 20k damage in ng+hacked is not cheese its a powerful attack, making the demon backstep off a bridge is cheese.making an ulcerated tree spirit kill itself with a fire pit is cheesemaking gargoyles fly up get stuck and die to fall damage is cheese.
>>484379045>In the games listed, mobility is just as important as parry/deflectionI don't know about ronin, but for the other fuck no. It's a joke to even say shit like that.Deflecting is by far the most important mechanic in the game, more important than anything else put together.

>>484379512If you got the Miquella dream thing that's it, please enjoy the rest of the game.
Barricade Shield got me through the entirety of the DLC. Hardly any of the bosses have any answers to just blocking whatever spastic shit they’re throwing out.
>>484379609>>484379610Oh boy.... i get it now.
>>484379304The only thing that is cheese on that list is maybe Rolling Sparks because I'm convinced their current damage is a bug.

>>484379952Fucker is weak to bleed, ain't he?
>>484379224you can cheese him with poison mist at any levelas for legit i'd say 60, that boss is a cunt. the actual progression trigger is that you need milly to move to altus so fight him then.
>>484379794>have to kill Radahn to get Thiolliers chest piece>thus the DLC is already overFuck saaaaaaaaaaake
>>484379952bloodflame blade on a spinning weapon can get him very easily, moreso if you have a mimic tear to do it twice. you can kill him before he even phase 2s if u play ur cards right with the mimic tear. you'll need to learn his moveset and probably have the proper physique if ur going to do it by urself.
What if...the reason Messmer was left by himself...is because he accidentally burned Melina (his own sister) to death with his snake curse? That would explain Melina's condition and why Marika chose to leave him sealed away but even her Omen sons were allowed to remain in the capital (albeit in the sewers).
>>484379952Why do you need to be RL1 +0?Are you trying to strand yourself in the DLC or something?

>>484379984The fuck
>>484379623Ok, question only for you then.2) Refraining from using spirit ashes is very relevant to honestly "beating the game". It's consensus that you did not beat the game if you used spirit ashes.Some players refrain from using Spirit Ashes and claim they beat the game. Yet they used "overpowered shit" in doing so.In that case:a) They beat the game.b) "You cheated not only the game, but yourself. You didn't grow. You didn't improve. [...]"
i just beat radahn by riding around and summoning npcs to fight for methink i actually hit him 3-4 times total

Making a new Wretch, so I can indulge in all the 14Str,14 dex, 16 int, 16fth bullshit stat requirements in the DLC without having an anneurysmRemind me... what are the key things I can miss in the BASE game again? Its been so long, and I dont want to somehow miss out on Millicents questline because I rushed to Mountaintops for example...
>>484379203>>484379279the thing is in base game all spirits deal such pathetic damage that only the bleed mimics and tiche can actually hurt anything, but the revered spirit ashes mean some spirits in shadow realm can 1-2 hit enemies and just take huge chunks out of bossesin both base game and dlc its pretty trivial for spirit ashes to survive a full fight, mimic of any kind tanks like a boss and a tanky/heal build is just overkill
>>484380101Could be. I'm starting to think if maybe Melina was also someone who discarded an other half as an alternate way to explain her condition.

(I didn't even get to use bloodflames deadly sin before they patched it :( )
>>484377910His fight really isnt that bad once you learn to parry his moves.He is way easier to parry than Malenia, I dont like trying to parry Malenia but with Radahn it feels really good.If his stupid light beam attacks didnt tank my FPS, I would say the fight is great. Completely stupid fanservice but definitely mechanically solid.

>>484380102>>484380169I have this shitty Wandering Noble cosplay. Really, I never take him beyond Limgrave for coop with the lowest possible level/upgrade stuff, but my autism wants to kill Mohg so I can go to the Cerulean Coast and grab the Great Grave Glovewort and have two +10 Noble Ashes. It would probably(?) be easier to kill Morgott and get the ones past him, but i'd also like this guy to have access to DLC talismans. I know its pointless but I want that +10.
>>484380417it's just not fun dodging his 25 second attack strings, that's my problem. many other bosses have similarly long patterns like bayle strafing you or whatever, but those give a chance to attack afterwards. radahn you have time for ONE quick attack after 25 seconds and then you could be back in on another long-ass attack chain with no pause. and half of his "openings" are actually fake openings with not enough time to take a sippy

Reminder that leveling Vigor is for sissies So if you increased your Vigor you are a faggot.On lower levels increasing Vigor nets bigger returns than damage stats because most of your damage will come from upgrades than the stats themselves, making them largely useless like pissing in the ocean unless their scaling is increased from upgrades?

Can't believe they didn't add a greatshield that casts Comet.
>>484380742Leda is perfectly sane, hornsent and ansbach were a threat after the charm broke and needed to be disposed of
>>484380958The secondary lightning after every hit turning every single dodge into 2 dodges.
>>484380958dunno, first tried it and didn't find it annoyingjust ride your horse and slash at the feet, it's pretty straightforward
>>484380742At the end of the DLC will I hate this character or will she manage to remain decent? yes I already know she's a massive Miquella simp.
>Anna is “possessed” by Ymir’s puppetThis is a translation error right? She IS Ymir’s puppet is she not?
>>484380958>lightning splits by design>the entire arena is in water, diffusing lightning Pretty much that's it. I rode around in circles and spewed sticky white pest thread on it until death.
>>484380742You're unironically gay if you believe this.
>>484380875by far the most important thing for damage is weapon upgrade level. each area in the base game drops a certain range of upgrade materials that will tell you generally where you should go. at +5 you should go back and explore Stormveil and Weeping Peninsula more. then go to Liurnia. mines with smithing stones and bell bearings that let you purchase smithing stones are already marked on the map with a little cave icon, go there.
>>484380958Lightning in water. Fewer and worse lock on points.
Beast Claw have more reach than i expected lmao
>>484380958Get on a horse and spam spells at it
>Rakshasawhat the FUCK is this bitches problem
>>484380958I cheesed the fuck out of this guy with ranged attacks and running away. I fight all remembrances fairly but reused field bosses are free game
>>484378989I will call it bad when it took them 2 years to make around 15 or so unique enemies, 10 remembrance bosses with 6 of them having no cutscene, and an empty open world with reused base game content added in + scadutree fragments in order to make it "better". They sold more than 20 million copies (reached 25 this year), if they felt like it was unfinished, they should've spent another year or two without releasing it. We went 1 year without any news other than a tweet. Elden Ring got announced and we had no news about it for 2-3 years. >>484379041Elden Ring is my favorite game. It doesn't matter. I refuse to suck Fromsoft's cock like a mindless consoomer.
>>484381053What you see is what you get honestly. There’s no massive revelations after the charm breaks and you see her true nature.
I'm still pissed because the Seluvis' Potion I saved only for the DLC ended up being useless.Should've just progressed his quest to get the Scorpion Charm like normal instead of stopping on the first step just because I had the perveted fantasy of using the potion on new NPCs such as Leda.
Leda wouldn't fuck you. You're not a blonde shota demigod.
>>484379045>In the games listed, mobility is just as important as parry/deflectionNo lol, it's not>and so the player has tools necessary to keep up with boss movement regardless of that bosses movement. On the contrary, there's an "inflation" of movement, you can run in circles and just avoid and disengage the boss at will, so games like Sekiro and Wo Long specifically slap you on the hand and scream at you since you are not "being aggressive" which means having casual tools to neuter the opponent moveset, like an OP block. In Sekiro enemies even heal if you aren't on them constantly>In Elden Ring you don't have these tools. When a boss jumps the distances of the arena back, you hold that. If an enemy "dodges" a stamina intensive attack/sequence, you no longer engage with them as you're now on the defensive for stamina management. That's absolutely untrue, you can punish all those situations, you can actually do even better and the enemy designer has to account for the multiple ranged option the player posses in Elden Ring that aren't in Sekiro.The fact that movement is limited means you actually have to engage with the enemy>Entire spell lines aren't universally useful on bosses solo do to cast times and vulnerability windows. They are though, moreso than in other games, because Elden Ring has fundamebtally a PVP focus>E.G; even a single dragon claw on Radahn will have your shit tossed before the roll. The spell isn't equipped to handle the fight due to the heightened aggression, lower windows, and longer vulnerability. I can use dragon claw on Radahn just fine, there's even the stomp attack for which it is an actual perfect punish, and that's ignoring the fact that there's quite large recoveries at the end of certain attacks or failed grabs.Whata you want is the game to do the math for you and tell you when it's safe to attack, like Sekiro literally did.
>>484381183What's the problem? Is she too spinny?
>>484381183his armor gives him huge hyperarmorgreat katanas are insanely broken due to their fuckhuge reach and stabby stab R2
>>484381053She's still my favorite DLC character, but that might be because I want to murder her
Malenia, Blade of Miquella.Radahn, Sheath of Miquella.
>>484380958The delayed AoEs on everything it does. If you back off and watch you can see that the lightning waves aren't actually AoE circles but narrow waves that fly directly backwards to cover its back legs, because fromsoft knew that ancient dragons were such dogshit fights that people just parked there to hack them down.But it's made worse by the fact that you're in water, so you take extra lightning damage and its lightning AoEs create a tertiary AoE when they hit the water that will rollcatch you dodging the other hits.
leda would eventually kill radahn if you lost
>>484381183>weapon arts you
>>484381053She's consistent in her character as a paranoid murderer, there's nothing to hate really.
>>484381261>>484381263>>484381308no I mean like lore wise
There's something that makes the dry-leaf weapons very unsatisfying but I cant tell whatt.martial arts enjoyer
i think we gotta kill whoever the fuck added flying enemies to these kinds of games
anyone got DSAnimStudio v5?
>>484381232The days of Leda's decision-making are overWhat Leda would and wouldn't do don't matter
>The strength of Miquella upon his deific return, wielded as an incantation. Annihilates foes with a pillar of light. Miquella sought to accept all that was and would be, but found one that refused to be embraced. No wonder, as one god, and one king consort, is all the world needs.Who refused to be embraced? You?
you mangy fucking mount

>>484381379bro your stars of ruin? your bow? your knight's lightning?
Fascinating tale, flowernigger.Now get in the jar, please.
>>484381370doesn't do enough poise damage
I'm playing a Malenia-lover character who tries to emulate her and I can't decide which weapon to mainhand on the practical side of things. Dryleaf Arts (later Dane's Footwork since Malenia has more kicks in her fight) or the GS (which I'll always 2-hand anyway when using seriously).Any suggestions or thoughts to consider?
>>484379624I played Ronin and he's full of shit on that too. You can do some movement tech with skills but that's the extent of it. You mostly want to rely on the safety of deflection which is incredibly boring
>>484381263Rakshasa is actually the only great katana with the stabby R2s. The ordinary ones have an extremely slow, clunky horizontal swipe instead.The stab is broken because it's literally just the rolling thrust animation slightly retimed so it's basically as fast as a claymore poke on a weapon that's twice as long and about 100AR higher that also has a running thrust for chase and a crouch thrust for close control.
>>484380742why does this image make my dick hard?
>>484381041>>484381076>>484381139How? Torrent dies in 3 seconds.
>>484381448if they don't show their face or have boobaplate they're men, simple as that
>>484381370Idk, I saw some streamer using them and it seemed like even if you get the sekiro-physic parries the boss combos are so long that you are just getting hit repeatedly through your attack your poise just doesn't break, which was pretty unsatisfying for like 1 guard counter.
Have any lore experts been able to figure out what exactly St. Trinas nectar is
>>484379224isn't o'neill the swamp nigger with needle? You can kill it at any level by riding a horse and kiting boss over geysers until it dies
>>484375327It's not even about difficulty for me most of the bosses are just shit since From now has Sekiro brain.
Cant stop thinking about nioh 2 combat
What is your typical route for making a new (pvp) character? Do you complete any quests, especially the Boiled Crab quest and the Ancient Dragon Smithing Stone x2 quest? Do you collect any gestures, or is Point Down enough for you? How long does it take for your new build to be complete, as in fully ready for invasions?I'm returning to the game, sadly without any of the old save data, want to know what is the common route today. It has been a long time.
>>484381053she killed all of the other needle knights due to being paranoid about their loyalty and intentions before you even met her.
>>484381251>elden ring>>>>pvp focusHahahahahaha
>>484381391Yes. That's the reason for the next sentence. He couldn't embrace you because there could only be one god and one lord (i.e. Miquella and his consort), and you as the "aspiring lord of the Old Order" directly challenge that assertion by claiming yourself as lord and your own consort as god (Marika or Ranni).
>>484381539you can jump most of his attacks except his *fly up and dive* so just get off of torrent for that one
>>484381524flowing curved swordshamshir
>>484381391Yes>>484381232It matters not if she would fuck me, but if I would fuck her.
>>484381524Nagakiba for big katana?
I prefer Messmer's voice from the trailers. He sounded more like a sexy bad boy
>>484379952Unfortunately they just patched the way to do it.
>>484381526I despise it either way>>484381587>paranoid about their loyaltyMore like because they competed for Miquella's attentionshe'd kill Malenia too if she could
>>484381532yandere gf brain rot, probably.>>484381548Leda doesn't have boob armor.But miquella's knights all being men who just sound like girls because they're eunuchs would kind of make sense.
Half the dlc is empty open fields. The fuck is the purpose of this area?
>>484381524the skills of her clones and soldiers suggest Malenia used a lot of different weapons in addition to her saber. Spears, reapers, great spears, curved swords, thrusting swords, straight swords.
It's so bizarre hearing Mohg's speaking voice again. The only voice lines that come to mind when I think of him are the TRES DUO UNUM NIHIL NIHIL NIHIL which are all deep, bassy, and a bit gravelly.Then he speaks and he's got a weird high-pitched raspy voice.
>>484380958the fact you're not using status effects or headshots on it
>>484381440cool wasted potential areaThey could have put all kind of fucked up by the flame of frenzy gone wild but nopeRats, goatsThe Winter Lanterns are ok but not enough
>>484380802>PureNot Marika, that's for sure
>they will never make me hate you, kindly miquella.>#my literal roman empire ;-;
>>484381440This is a cool moment but I wish you could use him after you beat the boss in that area, it's a bitch to walk around
>damn thats a cool ash of war>takes more than 1 secondunuseable in this sperg dlc
>>484381758You have to find both of the areas to unlock the mother of fingers>why is it so bigatmosphere ig? idkwhat are those weird olm enemies running around there
>>484380971that already exists but holy version
>>484375643Were it a base game mechanic bosses snd enemies would be designed around it. Deflection frames in Elden Ring should be quite a bit less forgiving than it was in Sekiro.
>>484381742>More like because they competed for Miquella's attentioni'd say the reason is what she mentions when the charm wears off; she's somewhat self-aware and realizes she's paranoid, but she can't stop it.
>Marika at the gates of divinity>Miquella and Torrent>even helmoess LedaWhy did the promo material include so much shit you never see in-game or even hear about?
>>484381827Faggot you've posted this exact thing +10 times now.
>>484381810Marika is a virgin THOUGH, she just found Godfrey dozens of girls a day to keep him happy
>>484381065maybe the fingercreeper is puppeterring it or some shit?
>>484379676i got mine off a golem in the middle of the taylew forge on the right sideseems to be a random drop as guaranteed ones get added into inventory and it was just a drop
dueling shields will always either be turbo overpowered and broken, or beyond useless garbage if they nerf it too hardthe whole concept of i can hit you and you cant hit me shouldn't exist, delete this weapon class
>>484381601There's no reason they couldn't have given us a Miquella consort ending
>>484381595>No argument>retarded meme greetextok, Vaatividya had the balls to use Messmer Orb on Radahn to finish him. Messmer Orb is even more committal than Dragon Claw.Quite literally skill issue

What's the quickest thing to use to beat Mohg if I'm not particularly competent due to my susceptibility to panic attacks?
>empty world>balanced around summons>shitty lore>most bosses are shit>shit weapons>armor locked behind NPC´s that die at the very endDark souls 3 won
>>484381251it depends in sekiro, bull, demon, and monke reward you for using infinite stamina to run arouund
>>484382078What's that?
So many of these new spells are so ridiculously bad in both PvE and PvP it's like they didn't actually try to use them at any point during development.

>>484381370>R1 chainJust generic stunlock chain that's good vs small mooks and bad vs everything else. The animations are pretty but in practice it's bog standard fist weapon>the R2sRuined by being multihit for no good reason, which kills the flavour of being a big powerful martial arts kick or strike>rolling attacksGenuinely unusable garbage that ruins the moveset. You have to change the way you play against big things because roll -> punish just doesn't work when your rolling attack is greathammer-tier.>running attacksThe running R1s are super generic, the 1H running R2 is perfect and exactly what it should have, but the 2H R2 is ass>jumping attacksOnce again the R2 is good and ideal, the R1 is assSo basically unless you're just stunlocking a mook the whole weapon is jumping R2s and 1H running R2s. Part of what made the Bonefist iconic was its variety and versatility. It had 3 movesets. 1H had the fast, advancing R1 spam chain for mook stunlock and a unique shortrange R2 that specifically existed to break hyperarmour in pvp. The 2H moveset consisted of slower, singular strike hits with high individual damage, as well as an R2 with amped counter damage to punish big things you can't stagger. The powerstanced moveset had a blender L1 combo and the Hadouken for a special attack.Every move served a different purpose, nothing was redundant and it had a set of tools for every kind of enemy.
>>484381906they're backstory>miquella was riding around the shadow lands with torrent before giving him to you>marika's past>leda because simps, which ended up being lol due to who she is
>>484382048How are LGS running attacks cancerous at all? They're just a worse version of the running R2 for HTSHell how are dryleaf a problem
>>484382129That's true for the old spells as well though

>>484381827we know
>>484382238He's complaining about the 1H heavy running attack. The sweep into thrust rollcatch.
>>484382248>lampreys, people who tried to turn themselves into fingersI hate how the grab attack doesn't vore you btw>>484382282In PvE or PvP or what? They're just area control.

>>484382129>it's like they didn't actually try to use them at any point during developmenttry to use a perfume bottle against an npc invader and watch how much it breaks their AI (Forces an input read dodge every time regardless of distance) pretty clear they didnt test shit
>>484382343just roll to the side then lmao, the fact that it's two hits means the damage is dogwater either way
>>484382282It's literally only the lightning one. The rest are super tame, and I'd argue the poison one is outright bad. The lightning one gets nutty scaling for some reason while being the best damage type in the game.
What made him think reusing Radahn was a good idea?
>>484381758would you prefer them to put the two bells in tiny cellars of random ruins to save space?
>>484382358it does vore you, just just need to die to it, same as most grabs
>>484382030Who the fuck cares. I didn't even read your post, just glanced at it and saw "pvp focus" and replied to it mockingly.Like, really? Kek
>>484382429I was gonna post that one next...
>>484382232Yea but why don’t you actually learn/see any of that in game?For example the DLC gives you no reason to believe Marika ever visited the gates of divinity.
>>484382452jap fans (and probably from staff) have been nonstop fellating radahn's corpse for 2 years
>>484382238>>484382343>>484382440the hitboxes on them are wonky and on high ping it will look like the other dude slid across the entire map just to hit you
>>484382498It doesn't vore you you just die and disappear instead of being actually swallowedI know because I painstakingly got myself killed by it (took like 4 grabs) and was very disappointed in the lack of service for ryonachads like mysself
>>484382452He propably had the assets half-ready somewhere so he used them.
>>484382372Radahn is the easiest fucker to cheese in the entire game. The summons you get in his arena can be infinitely recalled.
>>484382452fanservice every one loved Radahn but his fight was a npc spectacle brawlalso he has lots of lore showing his kindness rg. his horse gentle giant types are always fan favourites
>>484381906every story trailer is like that.
>>484381827>>484382048>>484382078>samefag being a fagYep. It's Shazamcord time.
>>484382567who wouldn't, he's cool as fuck
>>484382452I think he wasn't actually involved at all and is already helming a new project. I think the project was essentially headless for most of its development and just churning out map assets according to a vague outline. I think the main reason there are so few new enemies, why some of the bosses feel unfinished and why there are relatively few new weapon movesets is because the animators were busy with new projects and only cycled back to SotC in the last 8 months or so to fill the empty map.
>>484382581Is that the hitboxes or just ping issues? The LGS does have deceptively long reach for how fast the attacks come out ig
>>484382607you couldn't fit inside it so that's as much as can be done, pervert

>>484382363I don't mind DLC Miquella, it's just the entire mohg-radahn-malenia thing. Not having an ending related to him is also a bit lame, considering you can turn into the Lord of Frenzied Flame.>>484382407Elden Ring is a game made to build headcanons around characters. But instead of making Miquella neutral like everyone else they just made him evil and stupid.

>>484382630Summoning spirits makes the duel easier, but also epic. It really gives you an idea of how badass he was. Not calling them ruins the mood for me
>>484382653Not really. The exact cutscene between Malenia and Radahn only appears in trailers, but the events are explicitly laid out in-game so you don’t need to watch it to get the full picture.
Is the Scaduview Cross mislabeled? It's nowhere near Scaduview (the area where you fight Gaius). Instead it overlooks Jagged Peak. Think this was a mistake?

>"Messmer and MelinaHear me out- what if her hair was red like his, before she was made “burned and bodiless”? His hair also looks charred when he unseals his power, and hers looks extra crispy in the flame of chaos ending…. So it could have been red, right……?"
How viable is an incantations only playthrough? Like 0 melee weaponry.Especially the early game.
>>484382085They don't reward you, they are designed around it, that's different. The movement in Souls games is perfect for the needs of players, you can run from attacks, do inertialess pivots and 180 turns and do running attacks, it's incredibly fluid and versatile, but there's actual skill ceiling to mastering its use since the gameplay is centered around attacks that cover large areas in various ways and how the player decides to avoid them, while in Sekiro and Wo Long using correctly deflection de fact deactivates enemy hitboxes

Feels good.
Word to the wise:2H beast claws are bad, but 1H beast claws are amazingWhile 2H the first hit of basically every attack is a sub-100 damage bitchslap and dagger-tier poise damage while the second hit is the real damage. But while every attack gives you huge forward momentum, you stop cold right before the first attack, so anyone actively trying to distance from you will at worst eat the baby slap and escape the real hit.While 1H, the running R1 is a single, faster chase move while the R2s is a 2-hit with different timing so you're generally much better at chasing, rollcatching and staggering. The standing R1 is also a much better spacing tool because it doesn't take a decade for the real hit to land.
>>484382664LMAO discord troons are so embarrassing...
>>484382980>everyone I don't like is the same personbro is fighting demons
>>484382452Getting to fight Radahn in his prime is a decent enough concept, my problem with it is there's probably a good 40-100 hours between when a player does the Radahn Festival and when that same player gets to the final DLC boss. The Radahn Festival is the culmination of all the hype you've heard about Radahn throughout the game. The mightiest demi-god, fought Malenia the best swordsman ever that led a march of conquest across the entire Lands Between to a standstill, everyone talks about their battle like it was the biggest shit ever, Caelid looks the way it does now because of that fight, dude fought the stars and won, etc. etc. And then you finally get to fight him yourself and it's a huge spectacle with the ability to summon a bunch of NPCs, several of which have their own sidequests and shit besides this fight, and Radahn is throwing meteors and turning himself into a meteor and it's cool and great. And then the Radahn shit is over. You built up the hype and cashed out on it and the rest of the game is concerned with other stuff, only for Radahn to return again with practically no hype or build-up compared to the first time. It pales in comparison to the initial fight because even though this is supposed to be Radahn in his prime before the scarlet rot ruined him there's very little reason to give a shit. You already fought the dude and went through the whole build-up and climax dozens of hours ago. You can't pull a Sword Saint Isshin final boss and expect it to hit the same if you already had me fight him earlier in the game. That's supposed to be the payoff, the big reveal, the culmination of a ton of rising tension.

>>484381053I think she's cool. She's basically a yandere who appears like a dignified and chivalrous knight on the surface but is really a bloodthirsty serial killer who enjoys hunting and killing strong opponents. But she isn't a bitch over it towards you, she displays respect in her last moments and IIRC praises you as a lord to be. She's the kind of crazy bitch that fulfils my fetish for mutual sexual violence.

>>484382810>But instead of making Miquella neutral like everyone else they just made him evil and stupid.He's about as evil as Ranni is and is more naive and childish than stupid.>Not having an ending related to him is also a bit lame, considering you can turn into the Lord of Frenzied Flame.The goal of the game is to become a lord. Miquella already has one in mind, so you can't become a lord under him. Also they were oppossed to making a DLC ending for some reason.

>>484383394no it doesn'tno enemy ever projects constantly attack hurtboxes either
It’s over. I beat the dlc. Explored every nook and cranny. Killed every boss. It was great, but now it’s over, and there’s nothing more to do. The novelty of the first playthrough is the most sacred and special charm in these games. And now it’s gone. Back to the soul-killing drudgery of real life and waiting another 2-5 years for another From game.
>>484383234>>484383390>generally they stick to /v/ and will just insult any popular video gameIt started as a funny meme doomposting about cyberpunk and the slow rugpulling of features leading up to launch, which of course turned out to be a disaster. Some faggots started a discord and tried to the same with Elden Ring, which became universally praised as one of the best games ever made and it absolutely mindbroke them, they still make daily threads on /v/ about how elden ring "flopped" to cope with the fact some randoms on chinese cartoon website laughed at them for being wrong 2 years ago
>>484383520Chinks only dislike it because of the blue bear. EAC seems to be fucking them for some reason.I do agree EAC is a fucking nuisance
>>484383605i'm stating facts, i've made sure to translate 20 or so reviews from them and it's literally all same shit people complain except your retarded brain will filter all the negative reviews as "shitters" and "chinks", so good job.
>No secret ending where you give Marika a big hug after visiting the Shaman Village
>>484383540They don't playtest pvp. At all. There is 0 pvp playtesting. Fromsoft doesn't even have an internal multiplayer server set up to check network functionality--which is why bamco runs network tests for them prerelease.A good example of this: several invasion spots in the open world of the DLC spawn you clipped into terrain or out of bounds. Or that bugged spawn in Castle Sol that puts you on a cliff behind the castle.

I literally don't know what to do against Radahn anymore. Go full tank and poke him with bleed or poison or rot sticks while hiding behind a greatshield? Shoot him with magic while mimic and summons draw his attention like a fucking coward bitch? Actually get close to him and hit him with a big strong sword? I'm level 220, tried multiple respecs putting 60+ points into various combinations of str, dec, int, fth, even fucking arc. Go solo? I die. Go with summons? He gets an actual quadrillion HP and I can't do anything to him. Nothing I try does any fucking damage to him and he deletes me in two hits, three if I'm lucky. I can somewhat consistently dodge most of his phase 1 moves, but as soon as he goes phase 2 (which only happens if one of the two summons survives long enough to proc poison on him) I just can't keep up. Plus I literally can't see what's happening. It's just too much.Consider me filtered by this garbage. You've gone too fucking far Miyazaki.You may now call me a faggot and a scrub and a shitter and a lose and a crybaby and anything you want.

I am replaying the base game and I think the DLCs level design was better.There were like 3 ways to reach every area in the DLC and so many secret places. Every dungeon was fun and had a theme or gimmick.The base game has a lot more dungeons available but they are all pretty generic and a lot more areas seem pointless or random.I don't get why people are saying the DLC is bad beyond the bosses being hard.
>>484384481good read
Ranni is still better than Marika simply because she's a virgin in mind and soul. Lest not even talk about body since she also died a virgin.A second-hand good will always be second-hand. There's no difference between something that was used once and something that was used ten times, but there's a big difference between 0 and 1.

>>484384161do i get anything for killing that filthy hornsent or it's a waste of time?
>>484384151Basically what happened was that the deadline loomed with the game in an unfinished state and they were given an extra two months to 'finish' the game for release, but that unfinished version was the one that went gold and went into production for physical disc sales, because they need time to get printed, made and shipped onto shelves.Thus the 1.0 console version is basically a beta with mostly placeholders. it's not that, for example, boss music wasn't finished yet, but that they hadn't bothered to put it into the game at that stage because they were still prioritizing completing basic assets and getting them into place. The finishing touches happened during those delay months, and that's where item placements got fleshed out, unfinished moves were cut from boss movesets, cutscenes and other window trappings were implemented and dialogue cut/finalized.We have evidence that the plans for Elden Ring shifted considerably through development but that was in part due to Covid interfering with production and forcing them to narrow the scope of their ambitions, in part due to the normal development process of making something, realizing it sucks and scrapping or repurposing it for something better, and plans needing to be changed to accommodate the practical realities of budget and deadlines.Leyndell wasn't originally a Legacy Dungeon, but rather an NPC hub with questlines that then branched into two mini-dungeons (one leading to Morgott, one to Mohg in the sewers), but those quests were largely cut and the area repurposed into a legacy dungeon because deadlines meant they had to cut other planned dungeons and it was quicker to just add knights and imps to a finished map.

>>484384409I beat him with square off longsword last night, it's doable but you gotta stack defense buffs since you're gonna take hits. Marika's braid helped a lot.
why am I invading into frozen lake for fucks sake it's insane how some 16 year old tranny can make better multiplayer for souls games than from can
>>484381943The guard poke needs to be nerfed quite a lot. It needs ending frames of vulnerability or needs significantly less damage and guard boost on that attack. Because right now even if landing guard points single handedly is a skill the weapon can be picked up by any idiotThe carian shield has way too fucking much guard boost though.If it's going to have as much block capability as a greatshield it shouldn't have that much physical absorption. That's just stupid.
>>484374846I thought it fucking sucked and was an unfair fight. Don't give me NPC enemies with 8 times the fucking health and 8 times the poise. Got tired of it and used a colossal weapon to just turn them into a joke. Always one extreme or another with this goddamn game.
>>484386010Honestly the impression I got from this DLC is that fromsoft's gameplay designers are genuinely out of ideas when it comes to making areas, designing dungeon gimmicks and combat. Every halfway decent or novel idea that goes into any dungeon or area is just a rehash of something they did better in a previous game. Every standout enemy is a remake of an enemy from a previous game. All of the bosses are either retreads of old mechanics or just absolutely throwing shit at the wall with no real vision, like a korean MMO in its 8th year trying desperately to challenge the folks who still play 18 hours a day.I appreciate that they put more effort into the side dungeons this time around but every combat encounter was an endless repeat of "enemy hiding around the corner/hanging from the ceiling to ambush you" and there's literally nothing for them to offer when you just slam a greataxe through the wall and kill the imp before it wakes up, over and over and over and over and over.
>>484386428>selects option to invade anywhere random in the game >gets mad when you invade somewhere random
>>484375327Dancing Lion and Rellana gave me shit at first until I levelled my Scooby Doo fragments. Nothing after that was as hard aside from Gaius' broken hitboxes and Radahn Phase 2. I somehow even managed to get both Bayle and Midra on the first try, though Midra ended with a kill trade.
>>484386010For some reason many japanese game compagnies have their own ''traditional'' game concept that they try to shove in most game. Thats just Micheal Zakary signature touch.
>>484386515You DID summon your bros to help you, right?
I unironically think you beat the game if you and some bros defeated Radahn together but not if you used Antspur, solo or not.
>>484384151>Godfrey and Hoarah Loux had their own separate health bars.>Hoarah Loux upon defeat says his usual line and then laughs for 10 secondsKino. Should have kept these.
>>484386515you're supposed to summon a spirit and your friends
>>484382452Being a hack.
>seething about ChaseTheGODGamerlmao, this nigga got invaded and killed and hasnt mentally recovered
>>484386702>>484386850I did. But they were zero fucking help. If you don't blitz Freyja and Morne fast enough, you have to deal with them STILL as Dryleaf and Leda appear, with THEIR bloated HP and Damage. The banter was cool, music was cool, the encounter was dogshit.
>get summoned to Leda>host has scadiddle level 8>get killed in 2 hits by Chainstun Dane>Lose 900k souls with no way of recovering itThanks Michael Zaki.
So Marika is a Palestinian and the Hornsent are Israel?
>and this will result in him getting angry that you were able to hear her voice, and not him
>>484386998skill issue i guess
>>484386998DPS issue>>484387002How did you lose your souls as a summon?
>>484387017the hornsent are china
>>484386673>invasions are instant everywhere in the dlc>But if you use global invasions the invasions aren't instant>fromsoft can't code so it picks a random location to try to invade in>half the time you don't get an invasion and have to wait, even though if you invaded manually in the dlc you would've gotten an instant invasion>the other half of the time you invade into taunters in the base game because it gives equal priority to every area regardless of player countsWOOOOW I wonder why anyone would be upset
>>484386998If you don't do enough damage for there to never be more than 2 NPCs against you at a time then your build sucks
>>484387141I... am NOT reading all that
>>484387132>How did you lose your souls as a summon?How the fuck do I know? They were just removed from my account as soon as I died. No bllodstain, nothing. Just straight up -900k. A bug, I guess?
>>484387017nah, numen and belarut
>>484386998You should kill morne ASAP since he rot pot you 24/7, then finish Freya. When dane and Nidellina (or whatever her name) try to get dane 1st since he has no poise and pretty annoying ranged attacks. Use status attack such as cold, poison(lol) or bleed to get trough their bloated hp pool.
>>484387250Will you read this?
>>484386428>it's insane how some 16 year old tranny can make better multiplayer for souls games than from canWhat game?
>>484384967>least offensiveNot even that anon, but chasethebro is the fakest of the fake-nice youtubers, if you actually take a look at what he's doing in his invasions it's pretty clear he's no better than jee and his ilk, he just puts a faux-"positive" facade on it.
Imagine if we actually lost the gloam eyed queen and Godwyn stories during the rewrite because they saw how popular Radahn and Miquella were among the fans, so they replaced the assets and characters in the stories as fan service to Radahn and Miquella loversCoffin fissure and Trinas lair are all purple or gloam, and the Putrescent knights file name is Gloam knightCastle Sol we find evidence of Miquella carrying a ritual to try and bring back Godwyn, while there’s absolutely no mention of Radahn in his plansIt’s like Fromsoft looked at which characters had the most artwork under their tags on Danbooru and worked the story around themStories involving Radahn and Miquella are literal slop, for the lowest common denominator!
>>484387382ds3 wex dustelden ring seamless
>>484387371Yes

>>484387398Anon its all but confirmed a shitty mspaint comic caused miyazaki to tear apart his office and change the boss to radahn
>>484387427Oh, that dude is 16? I'm not surprised that he'd be a tranny.
I want to help mommy Marika kill all the hornsent. Where can I find more of them to exterminate?
>>484387548Post your radahn footage bro
>Do co-op to help people beat Rennala>Have to get summoned 10 times before I get a host who actually survives and kills her
>>484387548same desu
I'm mad.
how do I get to charos hidden grave?
what if elden ring had dragon ball z transformations
>>484387702>they summoned LedaInstant sever for me
shout out to hosts who don't run for the boss fog
>>484387736go over the wing at the dragon altar
>>484387017Yes. Hornsent literally consider themselves the chosen.In Bonny village after a lifetime of cruelty against the aryan features gentiles, the ghosts are literally crying over how they can be persecuted so.They’re more the Zionists, while the merchants are the historical Jews >>484387139Wrong. China are the Redmanes. Fighting to hold back the rot, or in this case, American degeneracy and LGBT values from infecting the world. They might be assholes who run people over in their chariots but they’re still respectable, just like the redmane garrisons in Caelid
>>484387398Miquella and Radahn are both popular yes, but they have never been a huge ship before now so your theory makes little sense.Also Godwyn has been one of the most discussed characters since forever.
>>484387724oink oink motherfucker
>>484387736>looked up the name of an area he hasnt been to>cba to look up how to get thereweird

>>484384680>fake positivityThat's basically all youtuber's really.
>the range on the cirque throwing R2sWhat the fuck? It's literally shorter than a spear thrust.
>>484387398>Coffin fissure and Trinas lair are all purple or gloam, and the Putrescent knights file name is Gloam knightDon't forget that the entire lore of Cerulean Coast and Charo's Grave is that it's where the old gravekeepers, who were mariners, did their death rituals. It's the super death zone.
what do I do here? I threw 5 hefty pots in and nothing happened.
>>484387724Yup, there go my 287037 runes.
>Barbed-Staff SpearNeat
>>484387397>jeeIs jee janine?Really all Souls dedicated youtubers are MP subhumans by default, so they're subhumans. No idea why anyone would watch their content.Lesser forms of life. Fit only for slaughter.
>Vyke canonically fucked thisNo wonder he was insane.
>>484384784Marika can literally shapeshift, you can get a virgin sex each day if you want, also she can make herself ideal for your cock in any position you wish. Mind and soul don't even matter since it's godslayer fucking the god, nothing beats that on emotional level.
>>484388000all the throwing weapon ranges are weird. Even the arc is retarded. They suddenly get a surge of gravity after a few meters
>>484388109craft the furnace pot
>>484388109you need a furnace pot for that one
>>484388109you need the other hefty pot
>>484384680insane post
>>484388109erm, you actually need an entirely different kind of pot that also makes fire, how utterly silly of you to not know that you need fire instead of fire :/
>>484388139Would.

>>484384680Chase's faux-positivity is absolutely obnoxious, but you're also a seething faggot.
>>484388109Do a barell roll
imagine if you were mandatory permadeath after this...
>people liked Radahn more than Malenia in the base game>despite Malenia being the super boss and poster child for the game>now wank off Radahn so people will find him just as obnoxious as Malenia Excellent plan From, worked to a T.
>>484387724>>484388121My soul is boiling. I'm so fucking mad.

>>484384967I don't know man. I remember watching him stream some pvp (one of the first and last streams he did) and he lost a fight once, got teabagged and dropped the facade "yeah keep t-bagging kid I'd shit on you"I usually don't see people break character that hard generally.
>>484387068>>484387132>>484387181Not a single one of these refutes my assertion that it's a dogshit encounter, you package deal fags. I turned the entire thing into a joke by just spamming the new meteor blade and it's ash, so choke on my dick for acting like it's a "skill issue" when it's just a shit encounter.
>>484387724>wake me upwake me up inside>cant wake up
>>484375643It's already broken and ruined the game. 1/2 flask investment for perfect defense for 5 minutes? That's bullshit and we will be watching videos featuring it forever now.Deflect means all other forms of defense are obsolete if you are skilled enough, and you can perfectly defend and element with any equipment.
remember when we used to tease the 150 anons? now we have unironic level 200 redditors. /erg/ has fallen, I hope a new fotmslop drops soon
>>484387778it's too bad this aow is shit against anyone who actually beat messmer it has the same windows
>>484387724That's what you get for not giving a man some time with his albino GF
>>484387778God that blipping around.
>invade the same host twice, dude's doing a taunter's tongue run with his friend in Raya Lucaria, okay cool that's fun>both times I invade this guy I manage to kill the phantom, get a co-invader (it was a different guy each time, mind you), and they BOTH inexplicably decide to gang up on me with the host>the second guy even died almost immediately after I did because of course he sucks absolute donkey dick when in a 1v1 situation with someone who has half a clueFucking same host, same level, two different retards; what are the fucking odds of that?
>>484389460I have no fucking idea what's going on with retard reds.
>>484385069>bitch about 3v1>bitch about 1v1What do you faggot reds want?
>>484387724this is such a werid thing that they didnt give us some kind of homeward bone item for situations like this
I have 2m runes from running around exploring and I dont know what to do with them
>>484397057When in doubt level endurance. Pocket greatbow for melee builds is surprisingly good utility.
