>>485172342I love my mommy
>>485172342Ew, used goods
Please post Trina art, it's late night, I need sleep
Velvet Veil (PS5) 2026Spellbound 2028
>>485172415I don't like this freak's art
There is no fixing /erg/
Does Romina's halberd get increased rot build up with your arc?
Which Elden Ring character has the largest benisMy money is on Radagon/Marika
You may not like it, but the ideal level is 491
>>485172616it's miquella, it's always been miquella.
how long do you think miquella's cock is?
>>485172415>womb pouch on MiquellaUhhhhhhhhhh
>>485172501Staying up late and only getting 4 hours of sleep to find St. Trina art"I think I was trying to suggest something about the duality of man, sir … the Jungian thing, sir"
>>485172586But we can fix Marika.
Man this dragon hunter katana is no joke. It dealt with BAAAYYYYLE pretty easily. Almost feels like cheating.
>>485172616>>485172652I only care about big dicks when it's on a small frame, so it looks extra unwieldy
>>485172616Boc
>>485172707I didn't really understand it, I tried it and veen like leveled it uo to max, but it didn't seem to do any more damage than my regular sword I was using, and I dont think it was because of the scaling. The way people talked about it I figured it would be like thw serpent hunter spear where like it's supposed ot be THE wY to do it
>>485172707>No Arc Scaling to use it with my Dragon Communion buildReeeeeeeeee
>>485172678>findwhy didn't you just make some?
>>485172707Shard of Alexander and Godfrey Icon was way overkill
It's gay to fuck Marika btw
Marika
how would YOU fix the dlc? this isn't just a post to whine about radahn (though i'm also in the camp of really disliking him as the final boss). you can certainly post about wanting something other than him, but what were other areas you thought needed changing? lore-wise, gameplay-wise, whatever.i will start. i wish the dlc focused more on creating memorable boss fights. gaius, putrescent knight, rellana, and a couple others were bosses i did not think were worthy of being remembrances, and i wish we got stuff equivalent to the base game. every fight, with the exception of rennala, felt like an actual event and confrontation with a legendary character
>>485172205>Glad you're trying out WebM making, newfriend.I'm glad someone liked them. I'll try to make them shorter and more interesting.>It used to be 3mb lolCrist. Can glowies at least pay for the servers how they do it in Russia? We have 40mb limits there. And glowies in every asshole.
>>485172824Because I'm not a great artist and havent tried to draw anything elden ring which like is hard to translate onto here. Also I just said I have 4 hours that's not enough time to draw art for anon even if I did want to
>>485172768>press and hold L2>huge overhead strike + projectilemine is only +9. The projectile wave thing makes it easy to go for headshots. It's like a quicker vertical MLGS
>>485172884Redistribute the weapons so they are all not concentrated into one place. That one guy who talked about viking lore has a good idea in regards to Messmer being the final boss. Ditch the finger mother monster. Ditch the creepy flower girl or make St. Trina look like how murals depicted her.
>>485173018Oh I didn't even know it could do that, I forget about ashes of war all the time
are erdsteel dagger R2s shittery?
>>485172884More dungeons levelsLess Empy Open worldGood Rememberance weapons Boss rush gamemodeMore non somber weaponsActually good spells/incantsNo skibidi fragments
This sort of boss run is unironically more interesting than all "no hit"/"no damage"/"hitless" runs of bosses in Elden Ring or any similar game like Dark Souls or Bloodborne.It showcases a thorough understanding of all the game's tools and blends them together to generate a unique, entertaining and creative way of taking down bosses, as opposed to the aforementioned no-damage runs that all end up playing the same because they purposefully don't use 99% of the tools the games give them and boil everything down to dodging everything or parrying everything.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BgLQzg8vzmA
>>485172884more straight swords. fuck greatsword users
>>485173114Not clicking it til you say what it is, what "sort of" boss run is it?
>Marika breaks the Elden Ring. >GW suspends her in a most erotic way possible.What does the Greater Will meant by that?
>>485173184Jesus would like to have some words with you
>>485172616>>485172719It's more than likely miquella. Here's whyGameplay wise mohg is weaker than average from behind when it comes to guardbreaksFor some reason consort radahn even without him on his back IS EVEN WEAKER to guardbreaks from behindBoth of them have very weak behinds and what do they have in common? Being miquella'd. It's very clear and obvious that miquella made them that weak from behind. And anal with large penises can cause you to be sore and weak back there. Now look at their size, how tall they are. Miquella would need a MASSIVE unwieldy penis to bruise them so easily from behind. It's likely he has to use his magic to keep himself conscious when erect. He has a demigod-slayer greatsword in his pants.
>>485173184>"Most erotic way possible"Crucifixion? Fucking weirdo
>Knight's Lightning SpearFTH bros we are SO back.
>>485173184She is crumbling and breaking down as if she were made of clay. You know, like the jars. I'd chalk that up to the Elden beast's malice instead of any sort of eroticism.
>>485172963are you serious? just use SD
>>485173343SD?
Just finished Ymir's questline. That was bizarre and very uncomfortable.
>>485173306Single handedly vindicated this DLC for me. Just like how Lightning Arrow did for me too in Ringed City.
What's the difference between red and yellow lightning?
not sure it is worth trading lower poise for 6% increase ashes of war skill
>>485173405Color
>>485173405Yellow lightening is the Golden Order patented piss color. I forgot what red lightening was, specifically.
>>485173359stable diffusion. can just use free options online as well
>>485173387ancient dragon lightning is red but it turned yellow when they taught it to humans
>>485173421>157>40vig
>Bayle makes a fucking ton of chinese knock off bastardized drakes>This got the true dragons so fucking ass mad they recruited human and made an entire new fucking organization dedicated to slay said drakes>Taught them to eat the slain drakes's hearts>This creates even worst Chinese knock off bastardized dragon Are dragons retarded?
>>485172794it's not that strange, dragon-killing weapons in base game are dex, too
>>485173405The red one is cooler
>>485172884Flesh out empty areas like the finger ruins, abyssal woods, charos hidden grave, jagged peakBetter balancing. There's much overpowered stuff like pre-nerf rolling sparks and too much useless shit like rain of fireMake greatsword of damnation a LGS and turn it into a frenzy weaponTurn places like Midra's Manse and Belurat into bigger legacy dungeonsRemove copy and paste bosses like runebears, tree spirits, Senessax, NPC gaol bossesMore weapon catalystsBuyable lost ashes of war
>>485173421also ugly ass fashion
>>485173315The erdtree is an ash tree-> turned to literal ash as it burnswhich naturally means Marika follows.2deep
>>485173114Didn't you post a webm here the other day?
>>485172884no skibidis, no radahn, fewer remembrances, more med-sized kino dungeons like darklight, more build up for major bosses in npc dialogue, descriptions etc, more focus on Messmer and Marika, more quests like Ymir's
Vyke's Spear is still one of the most annoying things for me to deal with. The AoE is just so large and lasts forever.>>485172884As somebody who liked the base game's open world, I really think the DLC's open world holds it back. It's very pretty, but exploration generally feels unrewarding, and I also don't like how navigation between the different areas is laid out. I also think the level design of the DLC is very lackluster compared to the base game (particularly the legacy dungeons). If the world was smaller, maybe that would have been remedied, as less resources would have to be devoted to making a giant (and empty) open world. A bona fide legacy dungeon combining the Abyssal Woods and Midra's Manse had the potential to be one of the greatest levels in FS history. I'm in the minority that generally thinks all the major bosses were great to fight for the most part, but I agree that more effort could have been put into making them feel more important in the world (via cutscenes, story significance, level/world integration...).Lastly, they needed to add a Carian Straight Sword/Sorcery Catalyst and a version of the Scaled Set without the scales. A new MLGS would have been cool too.
>>485172415drinking miquella's and ranni's love juices
>>485173426I dont know how to create builds so I just use the wondrous physick tears that make me and the people that summon mess health regenerate over time>>485173469OhAway with you, foul beastIf you want a more actual answer, then, I don't like ai generated art. I'm not like one of those people that thinks "Uhg, its ugly" since like I think that it's quality has and will keep going up over time, but I prefer knowing the effort and emotion that someone is trying to make like manually, I like that better. Same reason why I would never want chatgpt to try and write a fanfiction or book for me, I want someone to have put in effort into it themselves. It's kinda like if your grandma knitted you a hat, even if you had a machine which could weave one IDENTICALLY, exactly thw same, there's no fake immeasurable "love" in one and not the other, but still the effort put into the one she knit is still specialer and I'm going to value it more
>>485172616>>485172652>>485172740>>485173237Retards, the lot of you
>>485172884I can't even make a list anymore without despairing because I know it'll never happen and this 7/10 dlc is all we're ever getting
>>485173497good enough to reach Haligtree
>>485173806That first one wasn't supposed to be a reply
Reading up on the last threads.Wouldn't this be like 1.3 k hours at least?
>>485173736carian knight sword is a carian straight sword
I watched as an Invader killed my host and the other co oper. Sorry man, I signed up to fight bosses not gank.
>>485173736I would have loved to get more infusable Carian Knight weapons, like Fire Knights and Black Knights.
...is that Rennala or The Lady?
>>485173806Rykard was blonde.
things the dlc needed:>rolling chariots>sections where going across precarious walkways while some asshole pelts you with hard knockdown projectiles>more big mouth imps>stinky zone you can't ride through with verticality that won't instant kill you but it's just far enough to send you back to the "start">invisible pitfalls that only collapse when you attack them>invisible walls that lead to death traps>golems flanking a spiked ceiling trap>imps that inflict sleep>4 tree spirit gauntlet where they spawn one by one based on time not by damage/kills>a zone only accessible by drinking at a key place>bird warrior boss, it's first on the pecking order>a worthless dogshit dagger>a "rival" tarnished NPC with their own progression through regions that locks you out of remembrances because they beat you to the punch but you get to fight alt bosses, invade them during boss fights or summon them
>>485173736I wanna make a blooms twice poison build next, looks fundo you use romina's halberd or her butterfly spell?
why was midra deemed too weak to become the lord of frenzied flame when he literally becomes the lord of frenzied flame
I appreciate the DLC for actually trying to step away from the rollslop by introducing the deflect tear and backstep talisman
>>485173497>muh vig
Dumb invaders interrumpting the prep to fight the boss.Arena rejects.
>>485173825Micropenis like a gorilla but worse. Likely 4 inches or less
>>485173948***drinking thiollier's concoction
>>485173943Why do you say that? His mom was Rennala and his dad was Radagon, neither of those have blonde hair
>>485173943No he wasn't. Not a single one of Rellana children was born with blonde hair that is why Marika decided to go fuck herself instead
>>485153167>>485153167>>485153167I don't understand what's happening in this webm, is he blocking? how can he block?
>>485173987it encourages both with the other new talismans
>>485173987what backstep talisman?
>Elden Ring lore Vs SotE lore
Damn brat, spankings needed.
I just realized something, if the "empyrean who becomes a god needs to have a consort already" is an actual thing, as seen with miquella or radagon needing to be marika's consort right after she banished godfrey is real, then godfrey is a cuckold or radagon was her first elden lord but godfrey was the first recognized elden lord
>>485173987deflect tear should've been a talisman, but only work when blocking with a weapon
>>485174080Idk but if you two hand the marital arts you can block, and if they are then they're probably using the parry tear
>>485173881It's not a sorcery catalyst. Also, it's an even bigger joke now that Carian Sovereignty is a thing and it's locked into only having Carian Grandeur.>>485173927Same, and I'm not a big fan of the aesthetic of the new Carian weapons we did get. Like the Carian Sorcery Sword looks awful to me, even though it's a lot of fun.>>485173956I haven't gotten to her yet on that build, but I was planning on throwing it on when I do.
>>485174134gay
>>485174080instantblock tear
>>485174087
>>485174080Sekiro tear
Occult infused weapons can't be buffed wtf
>>485174053>>485174063In the paintings he is shown with pale hairIn the intro he has strands of blonde hair identical to miquella's In the manga he is depicted as blondeEither he had blonde hair or his hair went lightened (like reek from asoiaf) from whatever stress he was under due to his own experiments upon himself or others.
>>485174134>draw a girl>imply penisno, this is a girl, i refuse to fall for your homo tricks
>>485174265>buffing an occult infused bleed weapon with more bleedyeah nothing would go wrong
>hair color and cuckoldry discussions again
>>485174282Actually funny
gguys i completely forgot Fia had a questline and now she killed someone and leftnow i cant get hugs, fuck this
I know it's fextra but maybe you guys can give the sorcery sword a chancehttps://youtu.be/ETxc1gBt4KM?si=K5rQ2zSHR0WpMAMR
>>485174279The paintings only have like 2 colors, yellow and DARK red for the background and shadows, I don't really think that's saying he's blondeAnd like in the intro his beard looks red to me
>>485174158damn I thought two-handing just gives you the two handed moveset on r2 that's pretty kino
>>485174392no, it's trash
>>485174380Just have a friend hug a pillow and you hug a pillow at the same time and each of you pretend it's the other person, so it's like you're hugging eachother
>>485174206Damn right!
>>485173987Why does backstepping being a viable way of dodging an attack with any kind of range or forward momentum at all have to be limited to a talisman that makes you take more damage?
>>485174413Here's the painting from the game files without the lighting of volcano manner
>>485174279>the mangaThere's a canon Elden Ring Manga?
>>485174291One of these days, I'll post you a picture of my ass, and you'll see that some asses can look feminine.In isolation, though, because the legs are usually a giveaway, and so is the waist.
>>485174392>Gay thrusting swordNo. Make it a colossal one and then we will talk
>>485174553Fuck off.
My theory was correct!Castle Ensis checkpoint -> invade nearby -> spawn in the water -> phantom bloody finger -> invade into the bossfighttime to equip the full rellana loadout and cause some mayhem
>>485174158>deflecting tear incidentally makes the retarded L1 block on paired weapons usefulBravo Miyazaki I never should have doubted ye.
>>485174543It's not canon it's a joke manga but it's pretty good
>>485174485I think so many of the boss movesets are designed around rollcatching that giving the player a universal way to backstep through everything was reserved for the end of the DLC No it doesn't really make sense but it's the only cope I can come up with
>>485174638Wait seriously? Post webms please.
>>485174553Do it, I dare you faggot, I'll jerk off to it. What then?
>>485172857That pic doesn't even have nips. She's nipless in the uncensored.
>>485174534HuhLooks kinda strawberry blonde I guess, you're right, though I still think it could be pale redMy headcanon view of it now is going to be likeIt was regular red like all the rest, but part of his derangement and stress at like slowly becoming disillusioned with the Golden Order and falling into like the Heresy with the serpent meant that he was getting more bedraggled over time and his hair paled/got whiter and so ended up that pale reddish strawberry blonde color>>485174647Its funny because without it, the block with the marital arts is just like really stupidly holding up your hand like you're trying to use a mind trick to make them stop switing a sword at your face
>Flame enchantment is STR-scaling for some reason>Both the Fflame perfume bottles and the Perfumed Oil Of Rannah scale with DexElden Ring stats piss me the fuck off.
>>485174485Because From is deathly afraid of bringing any good features from DS2 back for some reason.
Goddamn these things are fun.
>>485174723it's somewhat RNG dependent (I've only gotten into the bossfight when first spawning in the water next to the ladder, and then only sometimes) but that seems to be the routeno webms because I'm absolutely retarded but I'll take a screenshot next time, this is the 6th time I've gotten it to work (3rd time doing it intentionally)
>>485174779what's wrong with giving all stats access to certain damage types?
>>485174851It makes everything fucking samey and boring with no personality.
>>485174830I think I saw your messmer webm it seemed absurdly strong
>>485174851Kills pros and cons of build variety
>>485174830what the hell, howd u do that?
>>485174757yup without the tear the only thing you reliably block is the sun from your eyes
>>485174750>she's nipless in the uncensored You have appealed to my incessant need to prove Anonymous Posters wrong. Nicely done, anon. I have no choice but to go on vacation now. See you all in a few days.
>>485174945Level 562
On my first ER playthrough Should I get the DLC to complete everything in one goal, or keep away from it until my second or third playthrough? Though I have to question how likely it is for me to do that soon after I finish the base game once. I am already taking my time and doing a majority of the content, except not bothering with a bunch of the small dungeons.
>>485174923flaming strike, perfume/oil, dragonfire, magma spells and fire incants are vastly different
>>485174987I think it's dumb that this is bankable when it's clearly actual art, not porn
>>485174928>messmer webmNope, must have been someone else.>>485174945Do a backstep while charging a heavy attack, then you can press R1 to do the backstep attack. Thrusting and curved swords have a similar thing.
>>485175005You can do it om your first playthrough, new game +s are faster to work through than your first paluthroigh but your first newgsme+ is gonna be a little slower
>>485174987Thank you for your service ;_;7
>>485175092my bad wrong guy
whats the level range for coop in the dlc? im at 135 now.
>>485175168that does not look strong in the slightest
>>485175241200
>>485174779>spells and flame art infusion: faith>monk flame weapons: lol quality 4 no raison>vykes spear the only madness weapon: dex with str tax>fingerprint shield the only madness weapon wait a minute...- strengththey sure thought about stats and stuff when making the elden rings video gameand thats just fire. lets mention sleep for a minute, the sword is dex with int, the TORCH is dex with FAITH, the arrows are technically arcane which goes with the arcane poison bow but not really since sleep has no poison connection and unless im mistaken there is no silver lily bow in the dlc either, and every other bow is dex or "quality" and therefore pointless in any real meta bracketand, thats it there are no spells thank you for playing.I knew how much of a ride I was in for when I saw Ds holy spells weren't just faith oh and dont get me started how SACRED infusion doesn't tag skeletons remember the divine infusion and that being all its good for, well you don't even get that, "eat shit player" apparently.
>>485175092I really wish that was a universal mechanic in Elden Ring. Having some way to cancel charged heavies would make using the DMGS so much more fun.
>>485174757Martin writes about stress, trauma, madness, and self experimentation turning one's hair white all the time. Both in the thousand worlds and in asoiaf. If he really did write much of the backstory pre shattering for elden ring then rykards hair color change can be explained that way.
>>485175307i swear i seen this image somewhere. SauceNAO return nothing, link to artist
>>485175250are you confusing "strong" with "broken"
just started the dlc i have no idea where to go, i made it the castle area at the start with the girl and the weird cross thing outside, it's the one with the spider scorpians inside.Is this the right way? I have no clue where to go.Like the dlc just made you beat morg and go inside the corpse but didn't give you a task or something
>>485175505no
>One extra skibidiDid they seriously add an odd number of these?

>Fire infusion str>Flame Art Infusion str/fth>Lightning Infusion dex>No Dragon Art infusion dex/fth
>>485175583i think you might be
>>485175475yandex seems to know what it is. as for google and the other buttons they're all useless now, despite "having AI" maybe people should have you know improved it instead of bitching about hands and slop.
>>485175558Did you meet the horny guy in rags? He gives you a map with hints of where to go if simply exploring at your own pace isn't your cup of tea.
>>485172884Lots of things.>Map and areasEntirely remove Charo's Hidden Grave and fold the stuff there into Ceruleam Coast. Maybe expand the coast area just a tad to accomodate. Remove the souther Finger ruins and keep just the Hintherlands ruins. It's fine to have it empty, it adds to the ominous ambience, but two of them is too much. Make the Abyssal Woods area about 25% smaller, and have the stealth section happen in a nice open circular area, rather than narrow corridors. Lots of elevation options, platforms. Instead make the Manse bigger, since it's a great dungeon.>EnemiesNo fucking dragons outside of the 3 encounters in Jagged Peak since I'll concede that's a built up to Bayle. But fuck the ghost dragons and fuck there being 3 of them. Also fuck the death rite birds. And fuck the furnace golems too. Keep maybe 4 out of the 8 (the ones they put in the even terrain). Everything else is whatever, can't be helped there's repeat enemies.>BossesWho cares, whatever you put here will be an exercise in CBT anyway.>StoryExpunge all fucking mentions of goddamn Radahn. Let the man get his rest, the festival of war was one of the highlights of the base game. Either we fight Miquella directly or Godwyn or Malenia or whatever else, just not Radahn that had no fucking set up. Honestly the rest is whatever. I'd also add goddamn interactivity with base game NPCs. Telling Ranni about the fingers. Telling Gideon the final fate of the last shardbearer. So forth.>Progression and itemsRemove all smithing stones bellow 6 and other items like that. Also the scadu fragaments thing is shit but I don't know what to replace it with and accomplish the same goal of making the experience even for different soul levels.
>>485175628no
>magic infusion int>cold infusion dex/int>no gravity infusion str/int
>>485175585It would make sense for there to be extra. The base game has more golden seeds than you can use. I've only found enough to get up to +18.
>>485175601From knew from the start that lightning was the game's best element.
>>485175737yeah uh
>>485172884If you're gonna have damage output/survivability tied to the collection of skibidis, then have them be things that you get from beating mini-bosses and big bosses. You know, just like in that game you made in 2019? The game called Sekiro? Better this way than forcing players to do endless perimeter checks of every nook and cranny of the game's horrendously bloated and empty map.
>>485174723>>485174638got em, further confirmation that you need to first spawn in the water
rate the drip
>>485175738Cold uses the dominant physical stat of the weapon for its scaling, it's STR/INT on big weapons.The ash scaling is dex/int but nobody uses projectile cold ashes.
>>485175889...and here's the spawn in question from which you use phantom finger
>>485175751If there were plenty extra so you didn't have to get ALL of them to get 20 that'd be one thing, I just think that there's actually just one single extra skibidi. That's just weird.
>>485175713>Remove all smithing stones bellow 6 and other items like that.It's so funny how the DLC still gives you shitty low level smithing stones as rewards for interacting with shinies. Either that, or other equally shitty and useless items like bone darts or rada fruits.
the greatsword of damnation should have been a light greatsword

>>485176060>>485176062>>485176068i forgot armor doesn't do dick in this gamemy actual attempt
>>485176496Never ever Godwyntranny
>>485172884I'd redesign Radahn for starters. No, not lorewise, the lore is shit anyway. I'd make his fight actually fair and fun. Secondly I'd fix the trash weapon and spell balancing, but hopefully patches will help with that. I'd also add more unique weapons, most of what we got is forgettable.
do you think godfrey was a hornsent or someone who grew up under hornsent culture?
Mommy Marika
>>485176628No retard, he has no fucking horns. He's from the badlands.
>>485176496>Ymir's quest suckedwhy? I thought it was the best one. I'd rather a few independent quests like this one (spanning entire map, giving items, lore and a boss) then the pointless main "quest" we got with shitty end boss and all npcs dying
>>485175958It''s just a game and you have no gf
>>485176556>armor doesn't do dick in this gamehe doesn't know
>>485172342I like watching boss vs boss videos
>>485176628You could draw upon similarities between the crucible knights and horned warriors fighting styles, as well as the hornsent reverence of lions, to make that connection but I personally dont think so.
>>485176754>Go to two boring empty ruins and press a button>Fight shittiest boss From ever designed>Ymir flips his shit, gets male pregnant and dies
wait hold up, I just got Dark Moon Greatswordnever played an INT build so I never used it beforeI've seen people crying about it being nerfed but this thing is strong as all fuck, how fucking overpowered was this before? sure I got better cheese for bosses but otherwise this still seems extremely good
>>485176206Is the cross you're talking about in your first post by a tree? He should be there.>>485176191I guess the main problem is usually he has a couple friends who are also threatening/sending out a giant hitbox at the same time.
>>485173948>>a "rival" tarnished NPC with their own progression through regions that locks you out of remembrances because they beat you to the punch but you get to fight alt bosses, invade them during boss fights or summon themwould actually be 10/10. i like how we had a tiny glimpse at this in ds3 with the abyss watcher npc.
Okay, what does it mean when it takes multiple minutes to load into someone's world and then the game kicks me out right when I stand up? Am I lagging, are they lagging? Are the servers shitting themselves?
>>485172884Resize the open world to make it smaller in some place that are just empty like the fingers region or the road that lead to the Manus cathedral. It's really frustating to explore a big map to find on a ledge a fucking Gloveworts.
>>485176754How is Ymir's """""quest""""" any fucking different? You go to two locations with fuckall in them, press a button, then you fight a mediocre boss and everyone dies
What is the best (most fun/challenging/in your opinion) build to take into the DLC? I took in a magic build. Idk if I shouldve gone bonk or fth.
>>485177167If everything is good and leads to a weapon perfectly suited for your build, then Fromsoft can't benefit from the dopamine you get from gamblingbrain
Best weapon to put Carian Sovereignty on?
okay, if i want to destroy gank squads, is it swift flash, flanx or night claws?
>killed all optional field/dungeon bosses in the DLC>Also most remembancesOnly Midra and Radahn left. I'm almost free
>>485177379Not very challenging at all but Dragon Communion is fun as fuck and there's a whole section of the DLC dedicated to dragonfags
>>485172884>how would you fix the DLC>don't whine about RadahnHe's really my issue here though. I love the DLC otherwise. I would fix it by telling Fromsoft to go back to the drawing board and do anything, literally anything other than radahn. They don't want Godwyn? Fine. I can get over that. But Radahn? Who gives a shit about Radahn? Make up some random monster alien the boss with some random nothing empty title that makes lorefags endlessly speculate. Or just some random guy. I don't know. But why the hell would I care about some manlet version of a jobber like Radahn that I already killed? And while we are at it change the arena. That place fucking sucks so much. It lacks any interesting detail. I think back to the PEAK CINEMA that was Marika's Staircase in the Story trailer and then in game it's fucking flat and uninteresting.
>>485177410broadsword
>>485175713>entire paragraph serthing about Radahn >"muh Godwyn!"kek, classic
>>485175475artist is called navigavi
>>485172884Don't think it's fixable, to be honest. It would have to be scrapped and re-done entirely.
>>485177362but you need to find your across the whole map and finding paths/exploring was the most fun part of the DLC. Also you get useful items/weapons/spells along the way without having to kill the final boss. I liked Metyr, too. The quest and NPC ending could be improved but I still think it was real good
>>485177526>WaaaaaaAh I wanted my prince of death fight, please make my gay Godwyn/Miquella fanfic real MiyazakiWill Godwynfags ever get over it?

>>485177781I won't get over it until their next game releases.
>>485177802keep playing until youre either good enough or over-leveled enough
>>485172884I would have them re-do enemy placement from scratch and delete each and every grace immediately before a boss fight with the exception of radahn (since we're not allowed to change him I guess)I'd also have them take 15 minutes to fix the fucking invasion spawns
i use a dex build, what weapons should i use or what can i use in the dlc?i just started the dlc and i just used katanas to beat the game normally.
>>485177904Abd Godwyn will forever be a dead fish, and you will never be a woman Godwyntranny
>>485177802Get the meteor staff and spam rock sling retard
>>485177913I switched to melee. 20+ LVL bellow my sorcerer yet I wreck fucking everything. There's no rationalizing this.
>>485177781Lol is this the approved response to the fact that it's obvious Radahn was phoned in?
>>485177802>he didn't find night comet or carian slicerlol
>>485177994Literally whatever you want retard. Why the fuck do you need other people to tell you how to play a video game? Experiment, find something you like, have fun. Maybe form an opinion of your own instead of being a fucking NPC.

>>485178042only good in early game
>>485172342AMATERASU
>>485178161And at midgame there's other shit you can use to break the game so what's the fucking problem?
>>485178231you can find the best sorcery in the same general area
I know that you can equip Talisman of all Crucible together with Fine Feather and Feather crucible talismans. Question is, do iframe stack from them? or just increase damage taken?
Holy crap guysAll this input reading unavoidable AoE spam from the boss who never stops attacking makes me think Radahn is built around summons, its so unfair!
>>485177994switch to dex/int and play this bad boy by spamming L2

>>485178820>>485178603They swore there wont be a second one.
>>485177578Story wise the inclusion of Radahn is objectively terrible. There are zero arguments that defend it properly because there is no defense beyond people trying to bait responses.You yourself are only trying to bait a response. I guess you got your shitty dopamine, but it doesn't alter the facts. And that makes you seethe deep down, once the dopamine wears off.
>>485178919>you are trying>I guess you got>makes you seetheholy fucking projection
>>485178846Communion
>>485178007>Godwyn is deadYes I watched the opening cutscene too.>you must be a tranny or gay or something please fight me I'm not any of those things so there isn't much impact there. Next time say Godwynigger or something along those lines you want to rile up someone you suspect might take more offense. Nigger just has more impact as it is something tourists don't normally read so they recoil easier.
>>485178798Literally just use shard spiral
>>485177994you get some good katanas, backhand blades are for the edgelord builds, really you get alot of fun weapons that you can just ash into keen. the claws of night are also dex thats nutso broken still if you ever need a crutch.
>>485179076>Playing a build with FTH>Doesn't have a single ranged incantationYour own fault.
I summoned the Hornsent for Messmer, where does he invade you after?
>>485179076dog ahead
If I use CE to give myself the Deflecting Tear at the start of the game, does that mean I'll get a 2nd one when I eventually reach the DLC? Would that be a problem?
>>485178742All of the DLC katana are trash.Not one weapon in this shit tranny game is as cool as Farron Funsword, DaS3's MLGS, or Frayed Blade, and SotE didn't help at all.
>>485179230No, if you already have it nothing will drop.
>>485179097You know I keep seeing it repeated that Shard Spiral is really good but I've never gotten it to work for me. Skill issue and whatnot but how are you supposed to use it? It always seemed like a weaker Comet to me.
>>485179014>projectionI'm not projecting a damn thing. I'm telling you it's fact Radahn's inclusion is narratively terrible. And I'm telling you the only reason to argue otherwise is to bait a response. And I'm telling you that regardless of how successful the bait, you seethe about being wrong.I'm telling you facts. If you want to admit to them or not is irrelevant to me. Doesn't change reality.
>>485179289Check the Obsidian Lamina
>>485179349>Y-you ARE seething, YOU ARE!!!
>>485179332It's good, but only on big bosses, because it keeps hitting as it makes its way through them.
>madness torch>intfuck off, there goes another build, respec or boost to 200. I already restarted that one.>>485178820>>485178915they said they're not ruling it out.
>>485177802lmaoI'm just doing my first sorcery buildit's ridiculously OP for the most part but at the beginning when you can run out of flasks it's a bit annoyingfor bosses summoning helps but with right spells you don't even need itsorceries to trivialize the game in no particular order:Mandatory:>rock slingcombined with meteorite staff your main source of damage for random fodder and for early bosses until you have something better due to high damage, decent poise, and low FP cost>ambush shardsomeone holds a shield? ambush shard. someone spams you with projectiles? hide behind corner and ambush shard(you don't need LOS) need to snipe? ambush shard. Use with off hand staff of loss for extra damageimportant: get the arrow's reach talisman for the two above sorceries so you can use it from ten miles away and still hit shit, it's build enabling >shard spiralyour "I win" button for most tough fights. If you use it on random trash mobs you'll think it's shit but it's OP as fuck against strong enemies. Spammable, low FP cost, fast cast, tracks, and does damage over the entire length of the projectile so if enemy is large they just get melted. Trivializes dragon fights in particular. Useful:>Comet Azur + Terra Magica + Cerrulean Hidden Teargot nerfed to shit but still fun to melt some AFK bosses that let you do it, ends fights before they begin>carian greatsword/adula's moonbladI only used it for some annoying enemies but pretty sure you can make a build around them, good AOE, fast attack speed, good damage>carian slicerhelps if you don't get a good melee weapon(but just use moonveil first and dark moon greatsword or astel wing later so you don't need it)>Night Cometuseful for dodge spamming enemies but if you only have one staff of loss is not worth the FP cost imho, if you take the effort to get two probably still brokenThere's probably several dozen others that are more OP, this is just what I've been using
I lost 30K runes because of the guy who gave me only 800 runes...
>>485179329Sick, thanks.
I did it and totally didn't do it by summoning two Bleed Phantoms.
>>485179332see>>485179578you spam itliterally that's it, that's the tricksmall enemies usually dodge few first casts but then get hitlarge enemies just get meltedyou do need to put some effort into positioning because the range isn't that long and if you only hit enemies at the edge of the range they just get hit once which defeats the purpose
I mean theoretically you can hanfwave Radahn as the final boss, even if it sucks, because he's not *really* Radahn. It's zombie Radahn-in-Mohg's-corpse, because Miquella couldn't 1v1 you and wanted Radahn back.You could argue it would have been better or worse had it been a literal who instead like Gael, but really the onlyhthibgbthat matters is that the fight is good.Too bad for SotE, it was trash.
Results of my scattershot throw claws of night testingTesting on the secluded cell troll (103 defense, -10 slash, 0% resists, 229 bleed resist)You launch 28 total projectiles, 14 from each hand. Each deals ~20% of your weapon damage and at most 4 can damage a single target up to ~80% total. Ex my 1HR1 deals 696, my scatter projectiles deal 584 max, but a single blade at the edge deals 146You also do a 2H melee hit (even if wearing 1H) which deals slightly more damage than a normal 2HR1. Ex I had 1156 2HR1 damage, and 1200 for melee hits. Power stance loses a small % of damage (94+94) so its probably not doing that slight reduction.With point blank shotgun of both melee and projectiles I dealt a reliable 1784, so 1200 melee + 584 ranged.This was all with no gear/buffs, 80 dex / +10 claws.It might be slightly skewed because of the -10% slash resist if the damage type is different on the projectiles, since claws are slash.Confirmed that smithscript/alexander boost the ranged portion of the damage only, not the melee hits.6x R1 as expected would bleed the 229 resist troll at 45 bleed, but only 2x full shotgun blasts. It would NOT trigger on 7/8 shotgun blasts (1x full one for 584, then 1x partial for 438- no bleed, but next hit bleeds). But weirdly I reliably showed a scattershot + 3x melee 1HR1 would trigger the same whether I connected with the WA melee hitboxes or not- as if the melee does no status at all. My best guess is the melee attacks deal 100% damage but 0% status, while the projectiles deal ~20% damage / ~80% status. It can't be 100 status or it would trigger in 6/8 shotgun hits, so the likely scenario is some From intern put an 80 motion value because the attack is supposed to deal a total 80% damage, but that's 80 motion value per projectile and dealing 320% total, 4x what its supposed to doThat's why claws of night are so OP
>>485179289odachi seems bretty good in pvp, someone outranged my washingpole just yesterday with one.the edgy dark one looks good too.guess im all spoilered on weapons now. couldn't help myself. and hate to say it but im not that impressed, a little maybe but >>485179289 may be right.its the over reuse of movesets, and lack of ash of war customizability. EVERY weapon should have unique moves like remember dark souls 1, for the most part. now its "ds1 bastard sword moveset / claymore moveset / ds2 royal sword moveset / unga like a beastman moveset + barbaric roar" and they just pick and choose which is on what and if its somber or not like, there is NO reason the golem fist shouldn't have alexanders explosive uppercut, yet it has endure. the ds1 rock fist had an uppercut, it was fun. did they forget how to fun?
>>485179707good job cutie
>>485177802you can become a broken sorcerer that can break the base game open in about 45 minutes from character creationDLC is another matter
>Randomly guard countered with the Carian Sorcery swordHold on I thought this thing couldn't. Is there some circumstances where you can? I can't duplicate this.
>>485176015>awful Castle Sol / Carian Manor tier spawn points working in favor of the invaderBased. I'm going to make a Carian knight build to really complete the experience.

>>485179787you have to press both attack buttons to guard counter
>>485179761Great Katana are decidedly okay.I dislike their movesets personally, but there's no denying that they are all pretty strong.
>>485179754what are your stats doing this?
>>485179935That's really weird, but now that I know that it makes this weapon a whole lot better.
>>485172342>tfw no asanagi doujin of marika getting mind broken by horsent dick and stuffed in the jar afterwards
I'm level 60 and my weapon is 16+. What should I do next? Leyndell or killing Radahn for Ranni's quest?
>>485179578Only thing I would add to this, ESPECIALLY for SotE, is Haima's Gavel.Actually hadms hyper armor, and pancakes humanoid enemies. Can be an absolute lifesaver.
>>485179578for fuck sake, do NOT listen to people saying "spam rock sling" you can't follow up on the ripostes and you WILL die like every retard host i've seen do that.DO get the meteor staff and use it until you can at a minimum +14 a different staff.get sword sorceries, the fucking hammer spell, spiral shot, night mist, and just glintstone pebble (replace with night spells variants) and the wave at the start thats like a low level moonlight sword beam without the frost.azur + fp zero tear later to delete everything, use meteorites instead for a fun variant to firing lasers.and don't forget the ice spells and ice tornado.frankly though magic weapons outshine int magic, and chilling mist can do everything ice magic does for less fp>>485179990they look a little slow in places, I haven't tried one myself yet, but I have played for honor.
>>485179934This has always been a FTHchad game.
im seriously pissed off that I need int on my fucken vykes madness build I hope I didn't choose a class that drops int so I could get the spear at 150 and have not a single point left spare anywhere after RESTARTING after getting to MALENIA with TORCHESelse I have literally no choice but to restart AGAIN or level up higher, for a fucking torch.
I have a pretty strong DEX build with twinblades and parry.Should I spice it up with incantations or magic?Pros for magic: Some swords can be used as casting sticks, supercool moon sword.Cons: Magic fucking boring, I will not use the supercool moon sword, it's too heavy.Pros for incantations: They are very cool. Buffs and heals. Melee centric. A lot of cool faith weapons.Cons: Holy damage sucks titanic ass.Ideas, Anons?
anyone else get frame drops on this particular cliffside or is it just me
ffs didn't play for a couple of days as a test and it turns out that elden ring is definitely giving me eyestrain in a way that no other game does.
>>485179934Nevermind that 2 of the new sorceries are thorn sorceries so they are actually just new incantations and 3 of the new sorceries are int/faith. Glintstone Nail(s) are pretty useless so that only leaves a handful of new actually useful sorceries and some of those are arguably just sidegrades. At least we got a useful weapon+catalist with the Carian Sorcery Sword.
>>485178042>>485178082>>485179578>not a single mention of the actual sorceryCHAD stuff, the Gavel and Cannon of HaimaBros?
How do I farm anti-scarlet rot boluses? I'm doing the 3v3 fight in Enir-Ilim and I'm running low.

>>485180558to think i waited 3 years for only half the sorceries,...
>>485180558>3 of the new sorceries are int/faith.this angers me so fucking much
Is Moonveil any good? Making a mage right now but any time I invade someone using Moonveil, it's seemed shit.
>>485180606Assuming you got the cookbook that lets you craft preserving boluses farming for sacramental buds is a pain in the ass so I recommend leveling to 12 faith and using the Flame, Cleanse Me incantation.
>>485174638>>485174638LOLOL it worksNice game Miyazaki
>>485180558glintstone nail is longer-range pebble with better tracking, grav missile fucksother than that for pvp it's a bit of a wash I agree
>>485180691You can very much farm many items in Elden Ring since resources and enemies respawn. Why does this terminology not apply here? Anyway, I'd rather not risk getting banned.>>485180826I can craft them, I'm just not sure where to find sacramental buds.
>>485180832you asshole, get out of my lobby
>>485180140you don't have to follow up on the ripostes, when you poise break an enemy with rock sling you just cast more rock sling and/or drink your flasksworks on any boss before you get something better, you do still have to dodge sometimes again important to have arrow's reach so you can cast from whatever safe position and still hit the only exception is if you're doing no summons then it might not work against some bosses but no summons as a mage is kinda boring for early game so I wouldn't bother
>replaced my second slot bloodhound step misericorde with the death knight twin axes>its blinkbolt is so insanely versatile it handles all the mobility i would ever want during invasion>cooper runs away at low health? you catch and shred him>a bunch of coopers pursuing you? you can use it as a giga bloodhound step to create a huge distance>got cornered? unlock and throw the followup, you will shred through the crowd and get to safety>slowly being mindbroken into liking 1h axe moveset
I don't think a lot of people realized that you're supposed to level up in the DLC to get the stat requirements to use the multi-stat weapons and spells.You're supposed to go into Int/Fai after level 150, not sit at 150 with 4 million runes forever
>>485180559I haven't used cannon of haima at all so can't commentthe reason I don't use gavel or any of the greatswords much is that it doesn't really feel that much different from just using a regular weapon and ash of war and that's not what I'm playing a mage for
Now this is peak design. Put in a toppled incense burner... and don't redirect the smoke so it's wafting sideways instead of up.
>>485180879That is true but the lack of chain casting just kills it.>>485180915>where to find sacramental budsYou can farm Sacramental Buds from the Rotten Stray Dogs near the Writheblood ruins in Altus Plateau at a whopping 3% drop rate.
>>485181041the kind of person who stays at 125/150 purely for arena is by default the kind of sperg who can tolerate the current absolute state of pvplevel 200 still has instant invasions and I doubt anything below 180 will be end up as the highest activity bracket going forward for invasions>>485181180>the lack of chain casting just kills ittrue, it just doesn't feel good to use so it's already left my spell rotation
>>485180807bro shut the fuck up please
>>485181041The vast majority of the playerbase is at 180-200+ at this point. Yesterday i was invading in max level bracket and invasions were literally non stop even in local search.DLC makes it insanely easy to powerlevel. Most normal enemies are dropping 1500-3000 runes. And there's a fuckton of them. I decided to take my 138 to 167, and he reached it before i was even done with the first two regions, without fighting overworld dragons or most bosses.
>>485181041i just wanted more blue pew pew skills...
>>485177781Godwyn is cool okay. Just this extremely creepy thing that makes bugs and eyeballs grow out of you and shit.
>>485181072I love the poise damage on these things. The Cannon is excellent for clearing groups of enemies, especially in catacombs and on the map. The Gavel trivializes any NPC-like enemy because of their retarded AI. It's generally really good against enemies prone to having their poise broken.
>Fail to kill a single boss during any of my co ops todayMy Int build is only good for spamming spells so I can't use her to help kill bosses in co op. Awesome. I've failed this community
give me your cool pvp builds lads, i want to have... fun
>>485180807Moonveil is good for gankers, but kinda bad for invaders. Try waves of darkness on messmer soldier spear.

>>485181342bro your cold milady?
>>485180950its doesn't "work" I have PERSONALLY SEEN far to many hosts die because they are doing NOTHING but spam rock sling and then get yeeted from existence when they draw aggro, and im warning you now because if I see you doing that in game I will sever.
>>485181342Clearly you are not stacking enough buffs and debuffs. Pure sorcerer in coop is all about nuking the enemy boss as fast and efficiently as possible.
>>485181232Level 200 invasions are also super enjoyable. People are more relaxed, there's a minimal amount of actual sweats.
>>485181342use spiral shot and charge it fully with godfrey icon and you will shit on most bosses including the absolute wall that is duo gargoyles, you are welcome.
>>485181342It's not you, it's SotE.I was like 0 for 10 or 15 on my 120 INT build in co-op. Went to 150 and killed two bosses in a row.Between base def, viglets, and scadoodielets, SotE is just unironically too goddman hard.
>>485181431I made a Cold Great Katana. I might've wasted those runes.
>>485181620not that anonstill haven't used a single skibadi upgrade. git gud.
>>485180975I also love it but I am so fucking autistic about the second axe being on the hip I unironically powerstance it 60% of my attacks are crouch/roll attacks and the other 30% is spin to win and 10% are "normal" attacks to catch some running/siderolling cunt with the second swing.
This shit is in a dire need of a buff. 30% defense penalty is absurd. It should be 8% at most.
>>485181431>cold miladyis the cold proc really worth justifying outside of bosses? you're losing a shitload of AR

>>48518000780 dex +10 claws, no armor no talismans no buffs, no skibidis since I'm testing at secluded cellmaking sure to alert the troll so no sneak attack bonusbut biggest issue is making sure it doesn't headshot, I keep seeing aberant high damage rolls due to itarcane should be irrelevant since it shouldn't scale bleed without any scaling on weaponI deal 892 damage per volley (no headshots) with gear on and no buffs (4x rakshasha, sword talisman, smithscript, aleaxander, millicent) which checks out because its +5 dex to base damage (684->690) and 584*(1.02^4)*1.1*1.1*1.15*1.04*(690/684) = 922, enemy phys should explain the minor difference.And a point blank range hit winds up dealing 2136 with no headshot/sneakIn skibiDLC this of course becomes 4k+
>>485181737Is Radagon's Icon really not enough?
>>485181478I mean yes not dodging when you draw aggro will get you killed, that is true for anything that doesn't kill/poise break before the enemy gets to youI genuinely don't understand why do you think it's a specific problem to rock sling spamming
>>485182006You don't ""wield"" azur, you offhand it and still receive the cast speed bonus
>>485182094You don't get the bonus unless you meet the INT req.
>>485181737So true, infact, it should make it so your spells never miss aswell, both in PvE AND PvP.
>>485182062i wanna say yes but the S P E E DPEEDis actually really fuckin nice...
>>485182142Yes you do. It's literally what i'm doing on a base level sorc.
>>485182094>you offhand it and still receive the cast speed bonusFP penalty too?
>>485182181just get 40 dex
>>485181737>>485181776>>485181940Here's a thought, maybe use the Radagon Icon and/or level your fucking DEX instead of whining you can't hit the cast speed cap for literally free.
>>485181737>no "Buffs Charged Spells the Utmost" talismanshit game

>>485182328>meleefags got an ass load of talismans to enhance them further>casters only got beloved stardust
i think Leda and co was the most fun fight in the dlc.Bros against her
>>485182054Where can I get this formula in text form?Like not as a picture and with annotations. I want to make a grath.Also how many Faith I need to cast 80% of all incantations?
>>485182429Wrong, Placidusax.
>its a "kill yourself" episode, againcool, guess ill watch tv, bye,
Is throwing pots at Malenia considered cheese? I want to beat the game
>>485182526yes it's cheese
>>485182475It's one of the most unique and emotional/atmospheric fights they did all the way since Vinland/Astraea
>>485182526no
So if I>told Moore to go be sad forever>killed the Hornsent in his invasion>cucked Thiollier out of his St. Trinussy>helped Ansbach kick Leda's arseWho's going to show up in the ganksquad? Just Leda, Freyja and Dane?
Stop calling Zullie a troon
>>485180558I went more Int/Fth because of the new dual catalyst and at some point I realized that I'm leaning way more on the faith side of things than the int side. My Sorceries prepared are Comet, Adulas, Ancient Rancor and Thorns. Meanwhile my Faith spells have a lot of buffs and utility, plus healing on top of really good damage spells. Int is ironically really stupid. You unga with the strongest spell you have.
>>485182619If you forgot to do Frejya's questline you won't even get her. Just Leda and Dane.
I just want to know why we still don't have a normal fire buff incantation.
>>485182482you could graph it yourself but I haven't seen anyone do it, and the graph wouldn't be raw attack vs defense values, it has to be a % of attack vs defense since the from formula just does ratiosits that really wonky formula where if you have extremely high defense attacks always do 10% damage, if you have extremely low defense attacks always do 90% damage, and it scales between 10-90% with an easing curvethey've been using this formula since demons souls or something
>>485182619yeah. Moore is the strongest foe in that fight takes long time to kill and throws aids at you
>>485182685I talked to her in the storehouse and gave her Ansbach's letter, so I'm probably getting her too.
>>485182526Throwing pots would imply you have some way of inputting commands into the game. Actively playing the game means you did not beat it.The only way to truly beat Elden Ring is to leave it running, until, through pure chance, some cosmic particles interferes with the circuits in your device, causing some sort of interaction, leading to a victory. Anything else is simply cheesing with pots, or parrycheesing, or rollcheesing, or attackcheesing, or walking-cheesing, etc.
>>485182685Oh that's sad.
>>485182657Zullie is quite literally a tranny. He has posted publicly about buying make-up, uses a female avatar, and prefers female pronouns. He's a troon.
>>485182582NTA but agreed. One of the DLC's high points, for sure.
I expected the gloam eyed queen, my dead maiden, my burnt "maiden", the epic godfrey's badlands adventure... but all I got was homotwink barahomo incest
>>485182749then you did her quest and you will have her fight you
>>485182804>make-up automaticly makes you a troonI bet the girls LOVE your unplucked, unstyled eyebrows and the imperfections on your skinlmfao
>>485181737I hate how they rolled back fashion-friendly itemization from DS3, especially for casting, it's either having a dex hybrid build, going around with Azur's like a retard or bricking yourself by wearing this.>>485182062In PvP, yes, basically almost every spell except the fastest ones shave up to 10 frames at max vdex. The average swing is at 15 frames (with swords being on the 12-16 range and great boys being on the 15-20 range and colossals being on the 18-25 range). Now add the rest of the animation frames and recovery and you practically need to be at max vdex to be able to be somewhat competitive.
>>485182696>>485182482like thissame formula for ER as DS3
>>485182469Melee game, magecuck
>>485182876Okay tranny
>>485182876>>485182910too much information, man...
>>485182820I normally do everything solo first time around, but I realized quick that's not what that fight wants. I summoned everyone and dropped a Spirit ash and had a ton of fun in a chaotic mess once everyone got summoned.Walking around in the aftermath picking everyone's stuff up was pretty cool too. Made me feel a little bad. Especially for Moore who probably just got gaslit into helping Leda in that fight.
>>485182884>>485182696Well i want to try to do it. Do you know where can I find this formula?
>>485182994>Radahn, forma de putrefacción>Bayle>Leda et al.These three fights are made for summoning
>>485182847>the epic godfrey's badlands adventureThis was always the most retarded possible outcome. I swear to fuck, 95% of your faggots don't remember>muh velka>muh londor>muh carthas
>>485182925>>485182943Men (read: MEN) have used beautyproducts throughout all of history. Pharaos with eyeliner and facepaint, vikings with braids and jewelry, powdered wigs and fake beautymarks, etc etcIts only in recent times, under pseudochristian moral values hamfisted by zionist overlords that we suddenly have this fucking longhoused lumberjack aesthetic.Men are allowed to be beautiful too, without mindbroken goodgoys like yourself getting an aneurysm.
but yeah tldrscattershot throw does like 80% damage / 320% status on projectiles and 200% damage / 0% status on melee attack and headshots to staggerneeds to hit 4 of its 28 hitboxes for full damage and 144 bleed which is gigantic, bleeds most people in 3 hits pvp

I finally did it! I couldn't be happier having done it using My Beloved (Rakshasa's Great Katana), since I fell in love with it the second I got it and used it for every boss I could.
>can't into Radahn as Faith>can't cast my incants while alone>extremely resistant to both my melee types>summon two phantoms>spend whole fight doing nothing but spamming heal from afar on themI beat the game. I am a Healer.
>>485181776>essentially grants you the equivalent of 40 free levels and the ability to off-hand your real staff and equip an actual weapon in your main hand for potential combos, instead of being forced to carry Azur's staffIt's fineJust don't get hit
>>485183529disregard that, im and idiot and didnt read the second hald
Who was Messmer/Melina's father? What was the point of the crusade Marika had Messmer commit, I thought it was about sacrificing people to activate the divine gateway thing like they showed in the story trailer, but it seems like Marika already had grace and was doling it out by the time the crusade happened, so I can't tell if it happened before or after she made contact with the Greater Will

>>485182475I don't know, I'm getting completely clusterfucked by it. 1v1-ing Freida while Moore is throwing heafty pots of rot at me isn't that fun.
>>485182943>>485183529Zullie was a big dick femboy that trooned out. Many such cases
>>485183729just like onlyafro
>>485183682Thanks, anon. Seeing that phrase gives me a warm fuzzy feeling deep inside.

>>485183580>equivalent of 40 free levels.>no damage scaling>minimum weapon requirement increaseIt only gives 1/3 of the features of 40 points in dex thus it's reasonable that the damage increase should be only 10%
>>485172884The "touch memory" prompt at the end should have led you to the Roundtable Hold/Lyndell Capitol building where people like Godwyn and Marika are hanging out and you get a final sidequest to bring them the appropriate items, and in return you get a mending rune that gives you a different ending. You should also be able to use the "touch memory" thing to revisit any boss you want and get another remembrance if possible
>>485183671Either virgin birth or Radagon
>>485183671Their father is radagon. Look at their faces and what little we see of malenia's and ranni's ghost face. They all have those same thin lips they got it from radagon. Melina's pinkish hair can actually be seen in the jar people(shamans) they have strands of golden blonde, white, and pinkish hair. Messmer's model hair also has strands of pink if you look closely. They both got it from marika's people.
>>485183717Sweet baby Jesus.

>>485183671>Who was Messmer/Melina's father?Most probably Radagon or maybe a giant since both bore visions of fire? >What was the point of the crusadeSome people speculate that the crusade had two purposes: One, eliminate and/or obscure all traces of Marika's original source of her power so no one could ever attempt to ascend to Godhood and challenge Marika's new "eternal" Age of the Erdtree and Two, get rid of Messmer since he was a liability given his serpentine nature and the fire nestled inside him.
>>485183671>>485184000Messmer is Marika/Radagon because he has Radagons red hair. Melina is the product of Godfrey/Radagon gay yaoi sex because she has salmon (mix of red and white) hair
>>485181620It's not that the DLC is too hard, it's that the average player is a moron who isn't aware of half of the game's mechanics. They don't know how to level VIG, for some godforsaken reason. They don't know how to attack / counterattack at appropriate times. They don't know how to dodge except by panic rolling away from the boss. Some of them don't know how to use more than 1 or 2 attacks (usually L2 and jumping R2 or L1). They don't know how to explore for scadutree fragments, even though the majority of them are at visible landmarks: crosses, churches, and statues of Marika. (You don't even need more than 12 blessings by the end of the DLC, because of how hard they fall off past that point.)These people were carried through the base game by summoning, so they never learned any of the skills that they'd need in the DLC, which is why they die the second they encounter endgame content where overleveling, summoning, and spamming L2 fails to brute force it.>>485183717It's definitely a sleeper AoW. The saving grace of fighting against it is that it's relatively easy to dodge and has a lengthy animation, so it takes anyone who spams it out of commission for a few precious seconds.
>>485184092Like his remembrance? I beat him but I don't have it.
>>485184120STOP TALKING ABOUT COCCCCKKKK
>>485184120>she
>>485184216>>485181620Sorry, I'm tired and misread your post. I see now you're saying that specifically co-op'ing SotE with these idiots is too hard, not the DLC itself.

>>485179934You get triple glintblade which syncs with regular glintblade for a bigger alpha strike so uh that's something I guess
>>485177802sorcery has great scaling but the true ezmode is str big bonkers
>>485184226It's on his sword by default, take it off and you can put it on other shit.
I'm totally Black Iron Tarkus

>oyakodon with Ranni and Rennala>shimaidon with Rennala and Rellana
>>485184226I'd need to change my build for this.
>>485183717Do people just not try things they get in the DLC? I tried the AoW a couple times on regular enemies and saw it was doing bonkers. It's like people aren't aware that other options besides Lion's Claw or something exist. Fucking Wave of Darkness hits for 6k.
Why did it flop?
>>485184535What a wonderful day.
>Grrm didn't write anything for Elden Ring>But if he did it's all the parts that I don't likeThis opinion is hilarious when you consider that George probably had nothing to do with SOTE which has been getting some shit for it's story. The part he didn't write is the one that's bad.
>>485184535Post pictures of the damage otherwise you're a homo fag and your shit is all retarded.
How's your current character coming along /erg/? Monkeying around with Dane's Footwork and Smithscript Daggers atm
>>485184794no secret equippable "Marikas undergarments" legwear to finddoomed to fail from the start
>>485184832exactly, and Miyazaki stated in an interview that this shitty Miquella storyline is his homage to GRRM. Not to mention the fact that initially they had a completely different Miquella story/ending in mind
>>485184794outsourcing to india does that to a product
>>485184848I would but you're being a dick so no, do it yourself man. Besides, I already restored my back-up save data to mule it over to a new character. It's very easy to test yourself though. If you don't want to blow a larval tear just back up your save data like I did.
>>485184535We need pics anon.
>>485184792>Do people just not try things they get in the DLC?>>485184848>>485185156evidently notpeople need a youtube guide to tell them about things now
It'd be nice if this worked on our other fist weapons
I like the DLC for the fact that a couple fights were actually hard enough to get me to use buffs, instead of just running in naked, figuratively speaking. First time I tried using:>exalted flesh>boiled crab>liver itemsamong others
>>485185156Very easy to test man, I already reset the save data to make a fresh build for it. If you don't believe me that's fine, I'm gonna go have a party with this thing though.
>>485185294what does this do to the regular kick?
>>485185209We need pic as a proof, anon. I am wageslaving now I can't test it myself
>>485184535>it also procs multi hit talismansI mean no reason why it shouldn't. It's multiple hitsThe lightning blink art from the death knight axe weapons also procs it by the way. Or rather, the dual axes once since that's the one that hits multiple times.
About to jump in to the DLC. Drip check.
the curseblade ascetics have to be the most cancer enemy from has ever made
>>485185534Just stand against them, dumbass
>>485185507poise check failed
>>4851855072/10 delete your toon.
>>485184726Kino
When exactly I need to jump in to the DLC?After Malenia? After Elden bitch?
>>485185373Not really much to test. Looking at it there's no way this wouldn't be solid. It's a multi-hit ash so it's gonna proc those talismans and the AR checks out on calculators with BFB, and thanks to BFB that's 95 blood loss build-up on each tic. Probably not the easiest thing to land but it's definitely gonna hit like a truck.
>>485184832GRRM 100% outlined the general backstory of the Shattering.The inter personal relationships of Marika's children, the way the entire thing's set up, the imperfection of the demigod children. All that shit is 100% Martin. I might not like his prose but he's a very good world builder especially when it comes to characters and their histories.

>>485185584?
>>485172884-teleport you to a minidungeon each time you toot a finger-let you commune with metyr for the microcosm spell instead of killing her-add cutscenes and minor fight dialogue for every boss that doesn't have one, except the sunflower-trina's dialogue starts the second time you imbibe instead of the fourth-delete random hidden fragments and have them be ONLY at crosses; this still forces exploration but removes the need to hunt to all heck and gone every time-add base game reactivity with various npcs such as gideon, melina, ranni, jerren, iji, rennala, midra, florissax-add post battle dialogue with miquella and radahn (before they die)-add extra dialogue to people you defeat in the ganksquad (they still die after you talk to them)-put thiollier's corpse right up next to the dead trina after beating radahn-have asnbach survive after beating radahn instead of dying for no reason
>>485184628thisjust two big swords can make any fight into a cake walk
>>485185534These bad boys beg to disagree, specially when you are scadu 0
>>485185765What's so difficult to believe about his claim?
Trying to manage doing a character themed around ice/lightning/wind. What are some viable combos?>currently using divine beast frost stomp, storm assault, and death knight twin axes with the wind spell and lightning spellWant to see how I could change things up to have more ice
>>485173534correct answer
>>485185765He didn't say he discovered the krabby patty secret formula, he said he found a cool build idea. If you don't want to play the game and test it, nobody cares.
>Yeah give them all infinite combos with 3 different damage types, rollcatching, magic and/or throwing daggers and/or arrows coming out between every swing, make sure every other attack is a dash with potentially dozens of meters of range, throw a grab attack or two in there, and make them immune to backstabs>But uuuhhhhhhhhhhhh you can parry them!Modern Fromsoft enemy design
>>485186043cheater is back at it again
>>485186031>>485185947It's not real unless there is a picture.
>>485186086I have always considered parrying against bosses a dumb mechanic.
>>485186101it's all skill
>>485186146You don't even play this game, do you?
Is there a cold equivalent of this?
>>485186240>kills the host>still runs away?
>>485186331No, because the status increases damage taken so they probably didn't want the effect to stack
>>485186331No, unfortunately.
>>485186086>>485186218After Sekiro, they should've phased out "traditional" parrying completely and let deflecting to chip down poise or guard countering to take big chunks of it off be the star of the show.I'm not saying remove it completely, giving it to bucklers or specific daggers would be nice, but just whacking your shield and completely cutting the boss off has always felt less than great, even back way back when.
>>485185209>people need a youtube guide to tell them about things nowI absolutely loathe what the FromSoft player base has become>scrolling through YouTube on phone>Defemse is OVERPOWERED?!>hover over it to autoplay>What if Elden Ring... had an EASY MODE?>[insert clip of tanking Radahn meteor with basic damage negation buffs and endure]>Poggers!Defense is not "overpowered" or "easy mode". It's a basic mechanic of the game that content creators and the retarded players who rely on content creators ignored. Instead, they spent 2 years preaching about damage, damage, and more damage, so fervently that you'd think that giving up 20 points of ARC scaling to have 60 VIG would fucking kill them. Not everything needs to be god damn content.Next they'll find out that jumping is "easy mode".
>>485186337my work here is done

>>485186331No, fortunately.
>>485182482
>>485186417>It's not okay for frostbite to double dip on bonus damage>But it's perfectly okay for the other status effects to steal frostbites entire gimmickThese devs are retarded.
>>485186540I don't know if you know this, but webms of killing clueless players in unimaginative ways is not interesting
lore-wise, is it better to start the DLC before or after burning the erdtree?
>>485184535yeah i used this on ymir since it was annoying he kept blinking away from my str/fth character
>>485186652there is no lore connection
>>485186619It's so imaginative that I've never seen anyone else doing it
>>485182142You literally get the bonus even when you cast incantations
>>485185785Don't roll away, their strongest attacks do not have a hitbox next to their body by design.>roll into them>rip a charged R2 or L2 while they're spinning, missing you>this staggers them and stops them from spinning>keep attacking or back off because they typically won't beyblade again if you're directly next to themRellana'a 5-hit beam combo in phase 2 also has this quirk, by the way, even though it makes much less sense in her case
>>485186540>>485186240>>485186043>>485186746love these webms, keep up the good work based shitter-slayer
>>485184886on my faith guy i've collected all the good new incants and and every boss grace except midra, i'm at skibidi 13 so it's tim to start slaying when i get home
>>485186652completely irrelevant, no one in the DLC mentions anything you have done in the main game and no one in the main game mentions anything or anyone from the DLC. YOu could do the whole DLC before talking to Varre or after killing the elden beast and nothing would change
>>485186652Kill everyone except Radagon, then go thru the DLC.That way all the NPCs will be dead so you'll have an excuse for not being able to tell them about anything that happens in the DLC.

>>485186331frostbite IS equivalent of this
>>485185909Legitimately good suggestions, or maybe I'm just saying that because they align with my own. I would have settled for one finger ruin dungeon, under Manus Metyr. And Rellana probably needs better presentation the most out of any DLC boss.>fragmentsCrosses, churches, statues of Marika (as in Messmer camps), and minibosses would all work. The offending fragments are the ones dropped by glowing pot enemies or secreted away in random spots, as in Cerulean Coast and Abyssal Woods.
>>485186558Not having to waste a slot on it is still a good thing, even if less interesting
>>485186816ty bro, appreciate you >>485187057the frog hat is for my shitty bubble spells....
>>485186086I honestly had a lot of trouble with bosses until I understood that the devs dont want you to dodge anymore, but jump and use jumping attack.It trivialised most DLC bosses.
>>485186746That seems like a godly way to roll catch
>>485183671>Who was Messmer/Melina's father?reading this like the south park cartmans mom is a dirty slut episodes lol>>485184794it didnt im playing it right now
>>485187146>Bunny Peter :3Ok that faggot deserved you.
>>485184130My guess is that Marika tought that by killing all remaining Hornsent she would free herself of their curse and could have normal babies
>>485187167looks so janky when their attacks physically clip through you
>>485186331no but you have frost resetting (which can be automated with magma) and frost is a debuffstack bleed poison/rot and multihit for large cock damage numbers.
>>485187406It really is since the game is also quite inconsistent with what can or cannot hit you while jumping. You only get partial Iframes and they vary depending on your equiped weapons and ground leveling.You can also sidestep many attacks but again the visual clue are very inconsistent and you have to rely on trial and error.
>>485186545The twin moons feel like an appropriate visual for her character seeing how Messmer blueballs her.
>>485186545She filtered me, and I'm probably in the 98th percentile of actually understanding and engaging with the game's mechanics. The worst part was that I knew I was getting filtered, but I was willingly refusing to adapt. Woke up the day after beating her thinking>I should have just jumped and strafed like half of her movesand lo and behold it trivialized her.I imagine she's filtering people by the thousands if it never occurs to them to jump.

>abandoned ailing village what the heck happened here? it looks like someone tried to create fairies by hybridizing humans and, mistakes were made, yeah?
>>485188108no, seriously, that's the lore. there are a few items that mention the nature of the shadowtree which help to explain its nature and the nature of the shadowlands (it is twisted around another tree in a loving embrace; it shines even more brilliantly because it is in shadow; it lashes out violently against those that have hurt it; it is sad and withered; it is a sunflower), but as for a reason why it's there at all, there's none that i can see.

>>485172884Remembrance bosses don't feel like remembrance bosses. Half of them feel like literal whos(which is because they are)Who the fuck is Romina and why do you NEED to kill her(usually used to imply plot importance) to burn through the shadows around Enir-Ilim? Uhhh some girl who was mad at Messmer and turned to Rot, no cutscene or anythingRellana has no cutscene either, no dialogueScadutree? No cutscene. Putrescent Knight? No cutscene. Gaius? No cutscene. All these supposedly important big-name characters just run at you and then die without a wordSome of the most memorable parts of the base game is the bombastic cutscenes. Godrick's >KNEEL, Rykard's TOGETHAAAA AS FAMILEEE, Godfrey's HOARAH LOUX, WARRIORRR, etc.
>sub-human creature that's named after Marika>Name sounds like a combination of Marika and NiggaHow did Fromsoft get away with this?
>>485188781Romina's cutscene is in the story trailer. She's the barefoot girl in the burning church holding a twisted object.
>play the base game until Mogh>beat the DLC>come back for Malenia >lvl 125 >beat her in an hour, literally easier than Mesmer Not sure why people were saying she is so tough. All I had to do was watch out at 70% and 30% and keep distance from her until she did her waterfowl shit. Phase 2 she is squishy as fuck, barely did anything.
>>485188772because he wants to use the sleep needle? seems kinda obvious don't you think
>>485188897MOHG
>>485188772Sleep is already dishonest as fuck, having 2 is overkillPlus the whole point of the build is too meme on people with the Thiollier's needle L2. While Thiollier's needle is on your left hand, it's ash takes priority over the ash of your right hand weapon for easy L2's once they sleepI tried before to soft swap into the needle after sleeping them and I found it difficult to land
>>485188897His name is Mohg.
>>485188774just duplicate a save and see if you like it
>>485188868Shitty excuse
>>485188897Look man, judge and jury found him innocent on all counts. There's no cause to keep making fun of him by misspelling his name anymore. In fact I think you owe him an apology for the years of brutal mockery in the court of public opinion.
>>485188801Monica
what exactly does Sleep even do?do you literally fall asleep like a Pokemon or something?

>>485188923Oh right I forgot the needle is sleep, thought it was poison given that's all Thiollier does. My mistake.>>485188954>While Thiollier's needle is on your left hand, it's ash takes priority over the ash of your right hand weapon for easy L2's once they sleepI see, very interesting. Will have to try this out later.
>>485189046yeah i didn't mean it as an excuse, from got seriously lazy with dialogue and cutscenes in this dlc compared to all the care they put in the base game to have something that really sticks in your mind after you beat them. at least Leda has a Ledaing moment like Gideon has his Gideoning.
>>485188939>>485188967Mogged
>>485188868You're the type of guy who thinks it's fine a game throws Zanzibart at you if the community manager made a lorepost on the official Discord or some shit aren't you>Actually the cinematic exists it's just not part of the game XD
>>485188954like I was saying before I find it really sad how little damage thollier's needle bonus actually ismaybe its your low stats I dunnoif anything in the game should OHKO that should, you need to sleep someone and land a windup weapon art, lots of WA can be fatal at that pointlook how overpowered claws of night are, dealing 80% of an R1 + 320% of its bleed. At range. With headshots. With a super huge aoe and range, fast animation, low cost. Bleeds people in 3 hitsthat thollier needle crit is less bonus damage than a bleed trigger
>>485189118yea invaders can fondle you to their heart's delight if you let them roofie you

>>485189216Countless Type B's just felt their crotches grow hot and wet in anticipation
>>485172884Compared to the base game I think the DLC is better in nearly every way, but I'm not a fan of Elden Ring and I think it's the weakest Fromsoft game since the Miyazaki era of games.
torn between claws of night and the murder tornado greatsword build, help me decide
>>485189213Yeah.. I'm still kinda disappointed in the damage but after playing with it some more, I found that you can squeeze an R1 then use L2 after the sleep for little more damage BUT only if the person has enough poise to poise through the R1. I tried it on someone with no poise and the R1 will stagger them out of the sleep and make your L2 miss

OOOOOOO
>>485183671My take on the timeline:-The Nox and the Numen, previously one culture, split apart after the rebellion against the Greater Will and banishment underground. The Numen settle different places and some of them become Marika's people, the shamans.-Hornsent construct Enir-Ilim and seek to reach the higher spheres/divinity. To this end, they develop a horrific ritual involving the brutal torture and mutilation of shamans, whose flesh melds with that of other beings, and the chopping up of their own convicted criminals. The goal is the creation of saints, which presumably are important for the Hornsent's goal of ascension. Marika's people are farmed as part of this process, her home village butchered. Marika likely seduces someone to save herself.-Marika gains a position of religious importance in the Hornsent culture. I believe this because both the story trailer and the Hornsent grandam NPC in the game refer to the crusade as a betrayal, and because there is a church of Marika close to Belurat, in an area not occupied by Messmer's troops. She likely birthed Messmer and Melina, communed with the Fingers, and built her own religious organization during this period.-Eventually, the day of the Hornsent ascension ritual arrives, at which Marika is present. The grandam in Belurat was likely meant to be their god of the new age, as she is referred to as an Empyrean. Marika instead does something to cause the mass-death of the Hornsent present at Enir-Ilim, offering them up as sacrifices and ascending to godhood herself. Shortly after, Messmer and his crusaders launch a surprise attack on Belurat, scorching the city and slaughtering its inhabitants. Enir-Ilim is veiled and the genocidal crusade against the remainig Hornsent commences. The motives are both revenge and likely fuel to grow the Erdtree.
>>485189373you were delusional if you think the trailer was intended for (You). he was facing away from the camera. and the line was said in an obvious boss room (which turned out to be the ganksquad arena).
>>485189425lol yea but for real sleep's particularly annoying to deal with since you don't often have remedies on hand... then you find yourself unable to move and vulnerable to some dumb dragon chomp

>>485188781I don't think they all needed cutscenes. I think the ones that needed it the most was Rellana and Bayle.Rellana especially really lacked a build up.

>>485189984>>485190076>Bayle and IgonEvery single one of my friends missed out on Igon's quest because they aren't autistic like me and NEED to kill every single enemy in an area at least once on first playthrough. They all did the normal thing and ignored the buffed basegame shitter drakes and just rode up the mountain. As they finished Bayle fight I asked them all one by one their thoughts on Igon because I wanted to share the white whale comic edit some anon here made and they all just asked me "Huh? Who?"Feelsbadman
>>485190292dlc is all about hybrids because you're expected to level to ~200
>>485190341yes very much so, an essential invasion tool along with concealing veil
is the chicken wing an arcane weapon or a strength weapon with an arcane tax?feels like there's no actual arcane weapons, arcane is just a tax you pay. Except Bayle's spells which actually are arcane.
>>485190341It doesn't really need to do damage for invasion tomfoolery
>>485190442Yeah I've been ignoring all the shit drake fights too because they just aren't fun to fight at all.

>>485190521flowerstone gavel is pure arc for some fucking reason. i think the new meteor sword is too. normal weapons with occult are pure arc and they are super strong

Who did it better?
>>485190521>feels like there's no actual arcane weaponsLook for ARC weapons with split damage. Eleonora's Poleblade, Mohg's Spear, Regalia of Eochaid, etc... Their scaling lies. Other stats may have better scaling, but they only raise physical damage while ARC raises both (and status if they have it and powering up the ash) making it the better stat for anything that has split damage and is ARC. Also, Poleblade of the Bud, Ripple weapons, and Varre's Bouquet are VISIBLY pure ARC from scaling alone so you must be blind.
>>485185507What weapon is that?
>>485190640the meteor sword requires absurdly low arcane but absurdly high strength at 35
>>485190706Gwyndolin canonically had tits so was probably more intersex than a true trap like Miquella.
>>485190686why did dex get its dick sucked do hard this expansion
>>485190757the skill scales on arc, does it not?
>>485190686Oh I forgot that Katana of night from Jolan
>>485190786Half those DEX weapons he listed are literally useless. Granted, so is the bear claw.
>>485190706why not both
>>485190869the claws, cirque, longbow, and great katana are all good are they not? i think solitude is good in pve
>>485190725>>485190521Moreover, Arcane is the best dip on a per point basis if you use the bleed/poison infusion.Then you get the occult infusion that is quite good on weapons that have natural bleed buildup like katanas, great star etc...
also the solitude gs has a dex tax and dex scaling, it's not pure str
>>485189442>fight fair>says the fucker obscuring the screen with a billion pillars of lightI WILL EAT YOUR FACE
>>485172884-Distribute more loot in empty areas like the finger ruins and the like. Just better stuff like rune arcs, starlight shards, Marika's blessing instead of trash like crafting material slop. If loot is craftslop then give players larger chunks 5-10 per harvest instead of shitty 1-3x amount per material.-Bell bearing for every material in the game and golem arrows and lost ashes of war-Erdtree's favor+3-Miquella/Radahn scar/soreseal: Basically a combo of both Rad/Marika seals but with less dmg absorption penalty (DLC gear is usually p2w and better than basegame shit)-More weapons in the new classes would have been nice. Only 2 thrusting shields and hardly any light greatswords? There is no reason why light greatswords shouldn't just be in the straight sword class and buff straight swords while they are at it. Give them the option to guard poke also. -Throw Sennesax in the trash-upgrades for torrent like armour and a permanent upgrade that lets you survive longer falls -Godwyn final boss with lore intact from the base game These last points are not really a DLC-specific things but these would improve the longevity of the game and overall make It better:-improve the medium dodge roll (it's trash)-fix the dead angling through guard bug that is rife in this game-auto summon/invasion hotspot in one of the main dungeons so we have a PVP hotspot (multiplayer covenant?) (Messmer's crusaders in Shadow Keep would have been great defending it as a red for example) -6 player max in dungeons/legacy dungeons if the last gen can't handle it in open field areas-Invasions on by default in non-torrent areas (as it should have been) (play offline if you have a problem with this lol) -pull a DS3 prisoner's chain and nerf the defense penalty on Radagon/Marika's seal talismans so players have more leeway for build crafting if they choose to use it. 125tards have it hard enough crafting without an equivalent with needing 60 vig vs 40 vig in previous games.

this painting reward shield looks sick, might use it in another two weeks when I get another character prepped for the dlci'm starting to regret going in this blind, I usually at least craft ideas for stuff in advance and im wondering how many of my characters are getting deleted to make space for new stuff, and im barely out of the grave plains.
I feel bad about Fingerprint Shield. I feel bad about Verdigris Armor. I love the "made of stone" aesthetic but they're the designated shitter equipments now

>>485190442>>485190076I agree Bayle isn't are necessary but, Rellana definitely.

Is there actual evidence that coffin-ships belong to Numen?
>>485192420A sage. He contacted TFOF for whatever reason but could not hack it and tried to turn back. What we see is the result of being a bitch
>>485192709still better than whatever shit western corpos plopped out over the last two years, lets see what other games I bought hm fires of rubicon well thats fromsoft, and a one piece game, also japan. cyberpunk since it actually works on ps4s now, aand thats about it. so, I don't see the problem. best game we're getting for the foreseeable future, I can't see the next elder scrolls being anywhere close to this either after starfield lmao. I still remember the desperate shilling of that piece of shit until people finally accepted what i'd been saying since hearing "there will be no ladders" as a kerbal player, that its going to be and was infact just shit.
>>485192709>elden ring is an unfinished game>dlc comes out>dlc is also an unfinished game>there are now two whole stretches of unfinished game that will never be finishedmaybe in 2038 there will be an Elden Ring: Revamped Edition (the new slang popular in that late decade, same as what 'remaster' is now) and they'll give proper fleshed out mountaintop of the giants, finger ruins, cerulean coast, bayle's mountain, etc
>>485193183bg3
>>485192945there's a severe lack of bosses that are immune to status effects
Elder Inquisitor is the worst boss From has ever made
if bleed status exists as it is then the attacks themselves should do very marginal damage, what the fuck were they thinking?
>>485193415because it was dumb in basegamesame reason why radahn has even dmg negation across the board instead of weaknesses
>>485193505it's kino
>>485193415rot vs all but romina, bleed vs all but putrescent and skibitree
how much strength should my build have if I want to play intelligence or arcane or something?sometimes I want to equip heavy int or arc weapons and sometimes I want to use those huge shields. You've got to have at least 30 strength to use shields better than the brass one.
>>485193305eh, valid point but it lacks in a bunch of areas notably comparing to this game weapons, doesn't even have half the shit neverwinter nights had.beats elden ring on the conversational side of roleplaying but then, its fucking DnD it should do that else its a bad dnd game, which bg3 is not im just being really critical rn
>>485193527Bleed is shitty enough already, every enemy and boss gets resist after every bleed.It's impossible to bleed something a third time.But bleed should low on non-arcane builds. It shouldn't be like a strength build can just bleed everything the same as an arcane build.
>>485191482Here's my humble boss suggestion for Charo's hidden grave, reuse the spaceship coffin assets. (He pilots it with great enthusiasm)
Maube you should just give up. You're not built different!https://youtu.be/qNTaKyI2evE?feature=shared
>>485193540Does anyone really have complaints about any damage type or immunity in the base game other than holy damage getting shafted?Yeah almost nothing resisted magic so it was too good, but its fair to have a good mix of boss immunities that make sense. Its undead or a tree, it has no blood, it can't be poisoned. A few were nonobvious but make sense when you think about it, like the Mogh / Godfrey clones being immune because they are actually shades not physical entities, and their real flesh forms are not immune.Nobody really complained magic was too good, it doesn't hurt your experience with other types that a better one exists. But oh noooo people shat bricks because holy damage was bad (ONLY at the lategame)and now we get this retarded shit where there's almost no resistance or immunities in the DLC because of you whiners
>>485193618if you want to dip str you traditionally go 54 because that will put you up to 80 when 2handing
>>485193997This shit awaits me in my bows only run.I am afraid anons...
after reading the quest breaks properly I feel like I was oversold on how accidently the quests for yourself in the dlc would be, its just don't go to one castle I haven't even seen yet, or too far this way (bonny bridge 2, apparently), and, don't beat messmer. thats two triggers in total
>>485194049?everyone but radahn has weaknessesfor normal enemies, most are weak to holy, especially hornsent and beasts, and everybody who serves messmer are weak to magichttps://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1wwmeTKY_0x3P6mKjFsSqB20fD-oVgrFLVAbhfPVhGkY/edit?gid=0#gid=0
>>485193505Is this code for I'm getting my ass kicked? And we all know the worst boss FS has EVER made is Bed of Chaos, followed by Prowling Magus.
>>48519407354 is not a DIP
>walk into charros hidden grave>screen starts rumbling>look behind you and the ancient drake that made up the terrain you just ran across has arisen>Charro, Undead Dragon>boss music starts, health bar appearskino
>>485194198level to 200.
Holy shit Elden Beast is an AWFUL boss
>>485194252it's kino once you learn it
Why are some Uhl/Uld ruins underground?I thought maybe the Nox built in the same places as them and were banished underground some ruins got pushed down with them and that left some above ground, but it doesnt seem quite right to me.>>485193618You dont need bigger shields, you can use the spell "Scholar's Shield" and the skill "Barricade Shield".If you dont care about your level then just level everything ad much as you want.If you want to stay between 125/150/165 for duels/invasions then levelling Strength is going to cost you Vigor, Mind or Intelligence.
>>485193527>hit a bunch of times for marginal damage>boss leaps away and does big drawn out anime flying move>bleed buildup decays>you have to start from scratch despite all the hits you earned just like a strength build would but for no payoffFor the record, this is exactly what they did when they nerfed bleed in Dark Souls 3. There was a single overpowered bleed tool that they nerfed, but faggots cried so long and hard about hating being bled that they redesigned the entire status effect system so that inflicting status effects forced you to sacrifice all of your AR.The end result was that status effects became completely useless and nobody used them for the rest of the game's life. A whole build archetype, one with a dedicated starting class, was culled out of the game half a year in and remained worthless until the day the game died.Status effects being where they are in Elden Ring is a direct response to the mistakes they made in DaS3. Like it or not, bleed is the most balanced it's ever been, and still requires more effort playing the game than strength. The main problem with ER's stat design is failing to make dex and arc meaningfully distinct since both are essentially using the same pool of weapons and attacking the same way.
>>485194252I beat it with a white mage, please get good.
>>485193527No.
>>485194252Try horse
>>485194168in the base game there were bosses with -100% resists and +80% resistsin the DLC nothing is outside of the -20 to 40 range and only 3 bosses have any immunities at all, only partialfire damage in particular was often either 20% or 200% damage depending on the boss
>>485194395good
>>485194252it is very bad
>Flame Spear on fire infused fire knight weapons>4 damage buff talismans>4 damage buff pieces of armor>2 damage buff physicks (fire dmg, bloodsucking)>1 damage buff spell (FGMS, assuming it doesn't conflict with the power within or fire dmg tears)Am I missing anything? I don't think the fire scorpion talisman is worth it.
>>485191887>>485191997June 21st so 2 weeks ago
>>485194252Its easy now that you can use horse
>>485194304>>485194360Don't mistake 'awful' with 'difficult'. It's boring and annoying as fuck but not hard.
>>485194316The Golden Order literally buried the old world and built their world on top of it. The Siofra/Ainsel/Deeproot layer was originally the surface.This is why the Shadowlands has no equivalent underground segment. The Siofra river actually cuts through the shadowlands, but it's aboveground.
>>485194538bloodsucking ain't worth it imo. 2hand talisman does not affect skills, only regular attacks. fire scorpion is great.
>>485194392>>485194598horse is the answer to all things
>>485194252I always thought it was magnificent. I was a bit disappointed the DLC didn't have some kind of unexpected cosmic boss at the end.
>>485194538also>bloodsucking with ritual swordlole
>>485191887>nearly 300k people playing on a Monday morningShut the fuck up you absolute mongoloid holy shit. I am so fucking sick of you doomposting fucking niggers that act like this with every fucking game.
So I just beat Elden Beast and am about to become Elden Lord or whatever. How clear is it when picking an ending? Is it as convoluted as the typical From quests or will it be a clear 'pick this option for Frenzy's sort of thing?
>>485194184Elder Inquisitor is literally the Prowling Magus redone.
>>485194764no i mean it's cool not that it's hard
>>485194304the elden beast is not a sword master like isshin or owl. there's no point in learning a whale.
>>485195005ranni is if you use her sign (NO confirmation dialog)frenzy is if you touch the statue (confirmation dialog; locks you out of other endings while active and can be removed with the needle; cannot be gotten back once removed)all other endings are a dialog when you touch the statue
>>485191887brainrot
>>485194538Fire infusion is a trap on the Fire Knight weapons. You either go all in on physical and ignore the fire, or you go Flame Art.
>>485194971Shazamniggers and their consequencesNow every time a new game comes out /v/tards with nothing better to do in their lives feel obligated to hop over to the relevant general on /vg/ a month later to concern troll about dropping player countsUnsurprisingly they get to be "always right" because all games experience a huge player boom on release day or DLC release day before curving down soon after. But these chimps don't have pattern recognition so they get to feel smug about "another pozzed modern slop has failed, look, it's only been a month and it's dying" before evacuating back to /v/ to masturbate over the next upcoming game's inevitable collapse
>>485194764>its boring and annoyingyou know you can use the horse now right? personally I forgot myself but I remember seeing that in the patch notes
>dedIf only someone would have told me NOT to summon Toillier or Ansbach ( because the boss gains +30% physical dmg reduction and extra dmg ) . Good fight, a lot of builds are completely useless here.
>>485195007Maybe in nature but in moves and intensity? Nah. When I was fighting Scadu I recognized Vordt's charge, but they're two completely different fights. The fuck anon?
>>485195548everyone who's not a total noob knows this already
>jar cavegetting FF9 vibes, alexandria dungeons...and why do I feel like im about to stumble across more warcrimes down here...
>>485195632it's only just begun
>>485195613Anyone experienced with From games assumes NPC summons could be tied to their quests so unless you want to look shit up you do it
>Marika is a pretty blonde girl>Presumably her tribe had more pretty blonde girls like herWtf was the hornsents' problem. Why would you want to mulch an entire tribe of Marika lookalikes? Just marry and fuck em like a normal human being. Holy retard
>>485194831interesting, didn't know it didn't effect skills. 20% damage isn't worth it? also isn't fire scorpion grossly nerfed in PvP while great increasing the damage you take? my worry is that it's an insignificant damage increase in PvP but makes me way squishier.>>485194905yeah, figured that out afterwards. my bad. keeping ritual sword, ditching bloodsucking most likely.>>485195296i'm a strength build, though. on hero class. can i even do a faith build that isn't terribly inefficient this way? how much faith do i need? i want to maximize the damage of flame spear for PvP, especially the laser beam.
>>485195794The hornsents were race purists
>>485195794They're literal Jews. Ugly little monster people.

Why do you guys post the new threads so early. We could easily wait until 1000+
>>485195771the only games that have required summons are ds2 (base game only) and er (sote only). it had been literally 10 years since the last required summon so i disagree
>>485195849The Flame Spear WA is a bullet-type WA that scales purely with faith and only wants the Flame Art infusion. It doesn't scale with your fire AR, but with your faith-scaling specifically.
>>485195476And the shazam trannies were just an offshoot of tortanic fags in the first place. They're such a fucking obnoxious bunch of retards. I'm still seeing AC6 threads on /v/ about how it's a total flop because there's only a few thousand people playing a single player game with a tacked on multiplayer.
>>485195968gacha game posters
>>485195794best not to google what arabs did/do to the Yazidi tribes (they're blue eye blondes) sorry for getting "political"
>>485195480I'm aware. My opinion remains the same. I ended up just blackblading the fucker just to get it over with.
>>485195920my bad. im saying it now though. idk i thought glass cannon builds always screamed PvP. just trying to see if i missed any other good ways to maximize fire damage.>>485196049didn't know that, thanks. thought fire infusion with STR would also work. probably gonna drop down to like 20 END and respec to dump into FTH now. should i bother with upgrading MND at all? i wasn't planning on really using any spells but if i'm respeccing into FTH i figure i might as well pick some up.
>>485196093I mean, you're supposed to thats why you unsealed destined death...to kill god, in true jrpg fashion
>>485195794I don't think you want me to answer that, anon.
