Give thyself not to Carian broads.
Godwyn should be the final boss except the game completely changes genre to an autistic grindy idle game where you make units that slowly cut away at Godwyn's flesh and send it to the Forge to be safely burnt away.

I really want a Smithscript Axe for my new character. Is there a way to get to it's location without killing any DLC bosses just to get it? I'd like to return to the DLC when I'm actually progressed in the game and play through it properly without cheesing bosses, (I got here by cheesing Radhan and Mohg asap at SL 30 but I already killed them a million times over the last few years)It's here btw. Seems like if I can just get to the lower area it's a straight shot but I've had no luck getting into said lower area.
>>487467249>kills your son
>>487467468>>487467468>TranimalLeave.
are there sword boomerangs in this game?
>>487467521She did it herself, don't take Marika's credit, smurf bitch.
>>487467468he looks cool replace sunflower with a sunflower controlling a zombie godwyn body
>CURSE YOU, BAYLE
is there any remembrance that can be infused with an AoW?
>>487467518Yeah.Just go NE from the grace with the dryleaf monk until you find a cave.
was he a good boi?
Does this fucking thing give people brainrot? Everyone and their mother carries one in case they start losing in the Colosseum, but the ones that try to main them mostly just spam the AoW and die.I use the smithscript ones because they fit my costume but the best use I got out of the AoW was to dodge those retarded throwing claws that headshot you mid roll.
>>487467908too good for the whore queen
What's the best buff setup for phys damage? I know a lot of buffs overwrite other buffs, i.e. you can't use jelly shield with flame, grant me strength, or boiled crab overwritting some other buffs. What I'm doing is Flask > Golden Vow > FGMS > Magic Resin . I think O'Neil buff would remove one of the buffs from by current setup, and idk what else to add.
is this a glitch or was the bloom cheated in here>>487467747gaius' sword lance
>>487467581Eochaid's dancing blade has a boomerang-esque swordart
I can't get over how cute she is.
>>487467985I alt tab the second I see one of these because the guy is just going to spam the ash of war and I don’t care to fight someone who does that.
>>487467908Yes. Every boi is a good boi.

>>487466854Yes. They fucking HATE Quality and INT/FAI. It's wild.
>love the feel and drip of ghostflame>barely anything about ghostflame fits with other stuff>little sorcery variety>selection early is utterly shit>only thing worth anything is the poker>new ghostflame weapons are DEX/INT for some fucking reason>and they're not even goodScrew this, gonna do a DEX build with frost and donning this baby.

JESUS FUCKING CHRIST, GET ME OUTTA HERE! IT HAS INFINITE HEALTH AND NO BLINDSPOTS!
Is there really any reason to use Greatsword instead of Giant-Crusher for a pure strength build? Besides being a Gutsfag
>>487468000If your ritual is too long, you won't have enough time to use the effects. Just fucking kill shit bro
>>487468919Don't worry they're big but not scary.
>>487468636night comet if u had to pick one but most 0 VIG mages tend to carry both
>>487466851Why does she want the snek? Why does she have no dialogue?
Bird Chicken still the best XP farm? All the better ones seem broken and/or fixed.
>>487468935range? better ashes?
>>487468935Much better moveset. Crusher is for max damage in PvE only.
>>487469027>better ashes?they seem to both be able to use most ashes, Lions Claw in particular
do heavy thrusting swords have poise/hyper armor/whatever it is that makes you not stagger that Greatswords have ?
They need to do something about Impenetrable Thorns, I'm so tired of shitters busting it out in every invasion.
how do i get over there
>>487469327Literal non issue. It's so vulnerable to terrain.
>>487469427Different entrance somewhere else that leads to the same hole.
>>487469427it's in a different dungeon, keep exploring
I can't believe the Scadutree chalice does fucking nothing at all. It has its own map icon and it's placed in an area with nothing outside of Gaius and his whore so it's not like it's usable as a landmark or anything.We are gonna access the second DLC from it right? RIGHT?
Are you playing with minimal site of grace, /erg/?It’s pretty fun and this game deserve long roads.
>>487469427enter the cave on the other side of town
>>487469458My ass it is. I got hit by it earlier by someone casting it a full floor beneath me.
>>487469580>second dlclollmao even
>>487469678Anon, that's just fucky hitboxes. If you're on the same plane as they are, basic strafing usually makes 2-3 of the tendrils whiff out. Even without that it's not hard to roll it.It's a non issue. Spell's balanced.
>>487469580ain't no way they are doing a 2nd DLC bro
>>487469820Yeah the spell climbing 30 feet is 'fucky hitboxes', lol.
Wait, is Night Comet the equivalent to Comet? It's not the equivalent to Cometshard?
>go against Bayle with the Putrescent Cleaver>half of his tail has such a shitbox that wailing on it with the cleaver doesn't register the hitIt's like I am in DaS2 again, thank you Teriyaki for this nostalgia tripdnhg
>>487470227Yes. That probably wouldn't work on just any spot. If you had just rolled laterally when the thorns got close, they would've whiffed. In most areas that aren't open fields, a basic lateral strafe is enough to make the thorns proc on geometry, breakable decorations and walls and shit. Thorn magic having ONE ACTUALLY GOOD SPELL is not a problem. Get a fuckin' grip.
>>487469580Elden Ring doesn't merit a 2nd DLC, especially with this one having taken so long.Its time for a New Game™, one that truly evolves the formula instead of being Dark Souls 4: Horse Edition.
What build is it?
>>487469749>>487469849Screen shot these non believers and remind them when the trailer drops at the end of summer revealing a Christmas release.
>>487470524Barbaric roar great mace. It's even better with the 2 hand talisman.
No more ER, please
elden ring dlc officially ends fromsoft's streak of making dlcs that are leagues better than their base game. artorias of the abyss, the crown dlcs, ashes and the ringed city, old hunters...shadow of the erdtree. how sad
>>487469001snek hot
>>487470674Nigger they worked on SOTE for 2 fucking years and you think they are going to release a 2nd DLC 7 months later?
>>487470781They got lost in the sauce. People used to be super super concerned with and hype for>weapons>bossesAnd this DLC had that in spades. But sadly, they let the level design in the legacy dungeons mid/decent tier as opposed to "as good or better than the best shit in the main game" like DLC had been in all the previous Soulsborne games.
important lore vid!explains a lotdeep lore<maliketh is a good boi>https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DLsxu6y_50g
>>487470845easy, just populate it with Commander Ianus, deathblight bloodfiends, more death rite birds and shadow hippos
>>487470845Dont worry brah the E team is working on it
Opinions?
Rennala or Rellana?
>>487470734*Braggart's Roar I meant.
>>487471101side view
>>487471101scorn
>>487470951>>487470781So this is the vg exclusive contrarian opinion, I see.
>>487471101More like champignons
>>487471337Contrarian? The DLC is rated worse than the base game everywhere.
>>487469001>Why does she want the snek?snek is a penis
>>487471101replace chest with rakshasa chest imo. diallos chest looks too fancy and not red spiky/rusty enough
>messmer has a cheat attack that literally teleports to you
>>487471337do you talk about elden ring with normal people? even a normie girl i know who wouldn't shut the fuck up about elden ring and the dlc ended up telling me she thought it wasn't as good as the base game
is Curseblade's Cirque thrown on strong attack like Smithscript Cirque?
I like Elden Ring
>>487471419Mostly chinese complaining about the difficulty. The only serious complaint I've seen about the level design is there's a couple of areas that feel noticeably unfinished.
>>487466851Is it really canon Rellana had romantic feelings for Messmer? Isn't she around Marika's age? Messmer would be like a kid to her and he's technically like her nephew
>>487471475It would make more sense to pair Gwyndolin with Rykard. That boy was made to be eaten.
>>487471625Ah yes, it's the Chinese.
>>487471613Yeah, for R2, running R2, and jumping R2.
>>487469238Greatswords also has Giant's Hunt.
I make that 12 minutes to beat the lord of blood to death with a +3 club.God I fucking love this fight.
>brainstorming a simple RL120 dex invader>realize i get Rakshasa aka Chaos Blade fused with Claymore, Hand of Malenia for surprise instawipes, Sword of Night for ridiculous true combos, Claws of Night for asshole tier ranged pressure, Ansbach's Longbow for shotgunning, Falx for hyperarmor chasedown, the best offhand hatchet, best damage on all projectile ashes and the best type of hefty pots for damage>realize that no other build in the game but FAI can match this bullshit>realize just how pitiful STR feels in comparison now
>>487471496That's the idea. Fancy armor, with rot showing from beneath. The contrast is the whole point. Don't have DLC armors yet.>>487471184
>>487470781none of what you said is correct
Humans don't look like this.
>>487471790Dammit
>>487472270What did you even expect?
Best base-game pure strength weapons?
>>487471619There's a lot to like about it.
>>487472336Giant Crusher.
evens play on my altodds play roboquest
>>487472183They do like in Nepal, or Poland, or Uruguai.
>>487472336Giant Crusher for ARGreatsword for the moveset
>>487472310I want the throw and no faith/int req is better but the thing looks like shit and the faggots that have them are ass to farm
all these new weapons and still flaming strike NR Glaive is the best weapon in the fucking game for invasions, goddamn. everything else either has a terrible running attack, is short, or doesn't hit hard enough.
>>487472568It looks cool and the throws have a homing arc, but if you want a good throwing weapon get the hammer. All the others lose damage very very fast with distance, the hammer still hits like a truck at max range and also knocks down. The claws are also ok but mainly for the status buildup and the shotgun Ash of War.
I'm stuck using just the basic club, a dagger that deals bonus crit damage, and a staff for casting Glintstone Pebble. My stats won't let me equip anything else.
>>487471619Yeah, it's not bad
>>487472183Those are the Dragon People or whatever who live short savage lives.
>>487471337Eh it's definitely a lot more controversial, the difficulty is on the lesser end of complaints compared to the empty areas, horrendous spell balance (compare rain of fire to impenetrable thorns if you want to lol), mountaintops level of reused enemies and bosses, and half baked legacy dungeons. Also the Miquella story is genuinely awful and cheapens the base game if you care about the lore, and there's just a complete lack of presentation or buildup for most bosses when base ER did that incredibly well. We don't even get a cutscene for entering the Land of Shadows, just black screen teleported in. I still liked most of it besides the final boss but that ending is such a wet fart it's hard to not come away with a lingering feeling of "that's it"?
>>487472183>>487472947>The stony face of the people of the ancient dragons, among whom life is typically shortThey're Draconians.
Man the damage on Dryleaf weapons is fucking abysmal, especially on low levelsFelt bad for these dudesIs it even possible to make them good for pvp outside Palmer Blast?
>>487472039I think it worksvery nicemaybe try briar boots?
What were they thinking?
>>487473161You can run a sprint jump heavy build with the kick and dash attack talismans and Leda's armor and the damage and pressure is okay but outclassed by most other shit
>>487472947What about this guy from Raya Lucaria half a continent away?
>>487472039I don't think it works but if you think it looks good go for it. >>487473337Pinecones and it's fucking great.
Fellas be real, Leda's Sword. Faith or Dex focus? Is it good in PvP? PvE?
>>487473363Also a Draconian. It's just a race, they can live anywhere bud
>>487466851What quests should I do before Shadow Keep to avoid bricking?
>>487473363That's just a britbong
I'm stuck at the bottom of Deeproot Depths. Where am I supposed to go now?
>>487473345>>487473161Also the hornsent bird warrior leg armor boosts kicks.
>>487473601Climb the root, the building then you’ll find big lake
>>487472773I'm just dicking around with early DLC weapons and the Smiths looked Cool>but if you want a good throwing weapon get the hammerI don't care about blunt weapons that aren't fists
>>487470781Cute picture>>487471337I don't think it's a masterpiece its like okay doesn't really improve the experience
>invade>3 dudes in an open field>they chase you with no enemies in a 5 mile radiusWhat's the plan here? Unironically, I mean.

GODDAMMIT I WANT TO MARRY MESSMER AND TELL HIM HE'S A GOOD BOY
>>487474190Let me hit it once bro. I don't like this game.
>>487474291Pussy. Shit in their cornflakes, it's more fun. Cutting off their fun and making them have to sit around is the only winning move. You're just running and hiding from the problem like a bitch.
>>487470781cry cry
>>487471994STR is cursed with getting all the slow and useless Sombers.The Smithscript Shield is the sole exception, but that's probably getting gutted soon.What you can do is go STR/FTH, STR/INT or STR/ARC hybrid due to the efficiency of 2H STR and gain access to some new weapons.INT gives you the gravity stuff and the Carian Thrusting Shield.FTH gives you access to a ton of weapons, most being kind of bad, but there's also the Greatsword of Damnation and the Death Knight Twinaxes.ARC has the Meteoric Ore Blade and the Putrescent Cleaver.All in all I'd say that a STR/FTH build running both the Smithscript Shield and the Greatsword of Damnation is going to get some solid results, and the most hatemail too.
>>487474291>he thinks he get get rid of all the toxic elementslet me know when you've blocked everyone in the game, hombre.
>>487474415>enable those faggots and give them exactly what they want in a situation nearly impossible to winNah
Miquella
>>487474656Anon, they don't want to have a slot wasted by somebody who hides in a corner of the overworld. Hiding with some sort of camoflage tactic and making them disconnect and have to re-assemble their crew is far more effective in harming them. I'm not saying fight them. I'm saying ruin their fun. see>>487474190
How do you beat a passive dueling shield turtle?
>>487474867point down and finger sever
>>487474867Manage your stamina better than him? The only vulnerability is when I get guardbroken for trying to R1 in my experience.
>>487474415the real answer is to hide and watch them from afar until they finally sever one of the phantoms and turn on the TT for a 2v2. Peeve already figured this out a long time ago. either you fuck with them in stealth forever or they 2v2 you. actually just did this to some faggots in one of the forts, where they were cheesing with the host on top spamming haimas on invaders that were busy with the OL phantoms down below, and if you rushed him he's spam the grav nuke and BHS away. once they changed to a 2v2 i was able to kill the phantom and then 1v2 the host, GG. very satisfying.just remember if it's 1v3 you have the control. also remember to block the phantoms so they can't resummon them. never engage a 1v3 directly, you'll die.
>>487475079No, fighting them at all is encouraging them and giving in. The only move in this context I support is maybe blocking phantoms who die fighting players who weren't hiding so that their gank can't survive on gangfucking just solo reds who keep coming in while you hide. even then though... pretty cringe. Blocking is mega gay.
>>487474867Lightning scythe
Invaders would hide in the corner if they find their wives with TT on to "avoid conflict"

What is the purpose of this?
Milli... ;_;
I am so terrible at Elden Ring. I don't deserve to become Elden Lord or reach any other ending.
Since the conception of the dragon, man has tried to fuck one ever since. Dragons represent the purest form of power, and this power compels man to dominate it. To slay a dragon is a show of one's strength. To LAY a dragon is an ascension of one's genes. Not a single thing in the world, not even becoming a god, can symbolically cement an individual's strength and willpower or the quality of their existence than penetrating the cloaca of reptilian beings representative of Nature. It is, therefore, writ into the soul of men to seek out dragons and dominate (impregnate) them (in bed) with a (libidinous) fervor unrivaled by the very gods themselves (until her clutch fills a warehouse).
>>487474867be even more passiveash of war kick (has hyperarmor now) into misericorde one shot if he attacks
>>487475275nah 2v2 is fine. also blocking is fine, fuck 'em. not interesting in regularly invading souls vets who are just trying to meatgrinder invaders with every exploit available to them, including clearing a level beforehand.
>>487475515It's a reminder that Zorayas is a foul affront against nature and human decency.
>>487475587yeah, always have a miserichorde with kick on it. also shit like piercing fang bypasses shields completely. also hammer talisman exists, especially with strike weapons which inherently do more stamina damage to shields. plenty of options.
snake gets licked
>>487474809>Anon, they don't want to have a slot wasted by somebody who hides in a corner of the overworldI don't give a shit. Why would i waste my time on literal human waste? I block them and proceed to invade people actually playing the game.
>invaded by a guy called Rakshasa wearing Rakshasa's set, using Rakshasa's great katana and spamming Rakshasa's movesetSo this is what peak autism looks like
>>487475926kinda interesting how 50 years ago we'd all be up in arms over not being able to afford houses and families but now we all just get demoralized and placated with cartoons of marriages we wish we had but never will and weed and screaming into the abyss that is anonymous imageboards about our fictional waifus. sad to think about how fucked our culture is, i try not to but sometimes it's hard.

>>487475661>nah 2v2 is fineNo. It's not. Because you're literally giving the gankers what they want: A redman to beat on. The only winning move is to not play but I strongly judge the people who do weak bitch shit like blocking.

Guys I think FTH might be better than INT...
>>487476304Not the first time it happens in the franchiseShiva was the same. Even had a quest associated with Chaos Blade.
>>487476405"passive" means they're keeping their distance, playing safe and only looking to punish your explicit mistakes. They'll just roll unblockable blade because it's reactable and they're not doing anything else to distract them or put themselves into a vulnerable animation.
>>487475942>>487475942>I don't give a shit. Why would i waste my time on literal human waste?You're selfish and low attention span and don't derive pleasure from griefing people. You're probably a completely mindbroken retard who's just fishing for "HOST VANQUISHED" and doesn't care about how he gets it. If most redmen just did what I do, gankers wouldn't be having any fun and they'd just fuck off already. But sure, go ahead and block them, I just view that as weak.

>>487478089Platform? RL?
>>487477659Because our Tarnished has a set characterization, despite the lack of expression and dialogue in game. He is the aggressor. He wants to>show the demigods no mercy, have their heads, take all they have left.That is why he enters their arenas. That is why a fight immediately breaks out. Miquella could be actually doing good things. The Tarnished does not care, he's going to kill Miquella and take his rune. Malenia could have been Millicent and had a hell of a tragic background story. Again, the Tarnished does not care, he will kill her and take her rune. It's as simple as that.

>>487479836your CE?
>>487478435This has always been the case in all of these games. For better or for worse, the PC wants absolute power at the cost of everything holding the old order together. However I still think this game was abnormally confusing in terms of who we're fighting and why.
What are the stone coffin ships for?Why are there giant skeletons (much larger than the fire giants) embedded in the earth of the Lands Between?What is Placidusax's god? Who are the old gods?What was the original sin?So much unexplained .
>>487479370>If you didn't care, you wouldn't be respondingno, you don't seem to get it. this is a debate. im testing you to see if you actually have a rebuttal to the point i made. you haven't provided one yet. if you can't you lose, and it makes my position stronger because it held up to scrutiny. it's free for me to do this and see if you actually have any good ideas. no one is doubting you think that way, anon. the question is why should anyone give a shit what a nobody like you thinks? your opinion is worthless. just continuing to declare you're right is getting increasingly pathetic, you gonna do it again? understand that this thread will end and this conversation forgotten, lost in the sands of time, and you will still be a nobody who can't win an internet argument.tl;dr i've already won, i'm just seeing if you have anything else to say on the topic.
>>487480068Is there nudes of the pic?
>>487480086You already replied to me and admitted you care what I think by doing so. Nice try weak little bitch.
is there a ledge you can drop down onto the lower parts of the DLC map or gotta go the long way around through shadow keep?
Oof.
>>487477659Because she's the lord of the old order, the lord of Marika.Even thought I sided with the three fingers nothing you do in the base game matters for the DLC.
>>487480191i literally just want to know if you have a response to why anyone should care what a random anon like you thinks about them, or anything. i'm nice, i'll give you one (1) more chance. it's fascinating to watch you just keep repeating yourself and avoiding the question, but it's starting to get monotonous.last try anon. here we go:>no one is doubting you think that way, anon. the question is why should anyone give a shit what a nobody like you thinks?tell me why i should care. that's the question you keep dodging. not what you think, why i should give a shit what you think? god it's like im talking to a mentally handicapped person, literally retarded...

In fact, canonically, the Chosen Undead spared Priscilla and Gwyndolin. Quelaag used to be passive and have dialogue with the CU as well, only turning into an enemy if you ignored her warnings and killed Ceaseless Discharge.

>>487478257lmao get goodI used to love Fleeting Microcosm, but trying to balance Radahn's bullshit with that on my face sucked.
What a shitheap the badlands must be if they have someone strong enough to crucify Godfrey.

text of the Outer God Heirloom:>"[...] The clan, who lost everything in the great fires, peered upon the corpse of their ancestor, normally an act of sanctity, and saw in its shadow a twisted deity. The clan had suffered such torment that the horrible thing was taken as an object of worship."Which do we think is more likely: That the Formless Mother predates the Crucible and is the partial source of all life, or that she's a parasite drawn to the death of the Ancestor Spirits and suffering of their tribe?I had long assumed the former, that she's the sort of Taoist precursor/negation of life, but now I wonder if she's just a parasite more akin to the Moon Presence from BB.
>>487479028The fact that it is forced. It's brainwashing and slavery, simple as.
>>487481225i already accepted your concession, anon. you can stop posting now. you're really mad right now, kek.
>>487481845she is an outer god, its just that simple, thanks to the dlc we have a pretty good understanding on what they are: Twisted, evil deities that appear before those who are in despair and lost, and then use them for their own gain

>>487474490I'm currently theorycrafting a super poisestacked RL175 STR build and i came to a conclusion the best way to approach it is basically a meteoric ore greatsword build that can swap to a variety of bullshit instakills like radahn sword lord.But it's so funny that DEX feels significantly stronger 50 levels below.

>>487481982I'm not brainwashed, you're brainwashed.
>>487481845All Outer Gods are parasites.
>>487477659Because we do? There isn't player expression involved in our intent, we are there to kill Miquella just like we're at Wolcano Manor to kill Rykard. Either our character expresses it openly or they are unable to hide their intent.

>>487482047I'm still short of the DLC on my NG and have just been going off of item descriptions on fextra. Is that really portrayed as the truth of things?It certainly seemed to already be the case regarding the Elden Beast, Moon, and Frenzied Flame, but I didn't know they confirmed it further.
+9 Rabbath>Host survives with a magic pixelFUCK. THAT WAS THE TIME THAT THE UPGRADE WOULDA MADE A DIFFERENCE.
>>487477659>>487478435I just love that Millcent's whole questline is to save Malenia, only for our Tarnished to ignore Millicent's request and just kill Malenia for her Great Rune.
>>487482264The anatomy is so fucked up in that pic I can't discern what the center shape is but brain disagrees that it is a sac or a vulva. But the way its drawn it looks like an extension of the tailbone.

>>487482836Miquella is neither a friend nor an innocent. Kicking his ass is a good deed.
>>487483079She's not dead, she'll get rebirthed by her flower eventually
>>487483271This is cope. Millicent killed herself for a reason, if blooming into a flower were reversible, she would have done so.
>>487481463SMACK!!
>>487483428Millicent literally does turn into a flower where she'll explicitly be rebirthed if you betray her

Instead of killing herself to defy the Two Fingers why didn't Ranni simply leave the LB like Godfrey, Messmer and Rykard all did at various times?
Every youtube video is still making 150 level builds bros...
Playing seamless Co op is fun but OH MY GOD he refuses to use the horse so we're walking everywherePain
>>487482181this is worse tho
>>487484062She was an Empyrean, like the next God candidate so it's possible there swas something fated about like her physical body since like Miquella had to abandon his body tooMalenia maybe dodny have to because like her body wad infected by Rot god
>>487483690Do Gowry's questline, if you betray and "kill" Millicent, Gowry says that she will be reborn and become a Scarlet Valkyrie when Malenia becomes a goddess (note she does not actually ascend to godhood in her bossfight despite the title change)
We got urumi. We got katar. We got tulwar (scimitar). We got khanda (Marais sword). We got parashu (gargoyle greataxe). We got bhuj (sorta, I'm counting the celebrant's cleaver). We got gada (nox hammer). And now we got pata and chakrams (smithscript cirques)? We also got the Indian poisoned hand, poison flower blooms twice, and the putrescent cleaver Whoever in Fromsoft pitched this cornucopia of Indian weapons...you are powerful and loved.
>>487484385>Do Gowry's questlineI can't. Elphael filtered me so hard, I lost it.What happens if you side with her against her sisters?
Time to get to work
>>487484628you miss out on her prosthetic talisman which gives 5 dex and the winged talisman things.Instead you get a shitty talisman that gives no dex.make sure you always side against her, unless you need to undo the frenzy flame within you
>>487484785You're a retard. You need both of those talismans. Always side against the sisters to get the Rotten Sword Talisman. +5 dex is nothing.
>>487484479>still no maquahuilti>or atlatlMexicatlsbro... It's not our time yet.>>487484785I mean in term of lore. What happens if you side with her? I know she gives you her unalloyed gold needle, and then she dies?
>>487484785>Rotten Winged Sword Insignia>shittyholy retard
The beast champion set is effay. That is all.
The dlc was too long, too expensive and a fucking cop out ending. Ugh.
What are female knights good for?
>tfw the NPC brawl is literally the best boss in the DLC>>487481125How?
>>487485075I was so suprised that like honestly that was probably my favorite thing in the dlcI love how they talk to eachother
DLC RL1 no-hit is making me drink. Holy fuck everything makes Malenia feel like fighting a grandma by comparison.
>>487485018>40 hours, 40 dollars and not supposed to be the end of the game anyways because it takes place before the Radagon/Eldebeast fightFiltered.
the npc fight is the single worst designed fight in the history of the company i thinkif you liked it it's because you didn't do shit for the npc questlines
>>487484962it's the shittier option>>487484923she dies because she doesn't want to be a vessel of rotten smelly power.it's like midra except he lets you kill him instead of pulling out the impaling sword to transform into the Lord of the Frenzied flame

>>487485304>it's the shittier optionnot really, 5 dex vs. 2% total damage increase per level of consecutive attacks? Rotten Winged Sword Insignia every day
>>487485247Works for meI like how it starts with summoning multiple of them before the help comes in so it's like a back and forth of being overwhelmed amd then realizing "Wait, we can win"I wish like the final Voss had a similar thing but summoning the ansbach and thollier just makes it harder on yourself once they die so it's easier to do it alone but thematically it's way better if they fight Wil you and then die

>>487485018>too longWhat?You are complaining about having MORE content?

Fuck that ghostflame dragon and those knights what waste of time every dragon in this dlc is
>>487486231Thank you
Why doesn't the game acknowledge you burning the Erdtree with the Frenzied Flame and then purging yourself of it?
>>487486159anything with sacred blade, then use that to get the red whetstone, then flame art anything to get Ordovis's GS or the Great Club if you're str/thstack buffs like a proper faith build and annihilate Rykard
>>487480068Good picture, is there more
Age of Crucible = Age of FireDeepest lore
>>487484923she takes out the needle and diesthe needle's description changes and it's all dew-y and repaired nowthe description says to give it to Maleniayou give this needle to Malenia while she's awaiting rebirth as a flowershe gives you a shittier unfinished needle she was holding plus a Dragonlord scale as thanksyou can then use that needle to purge Frenzy if you make it to the Dragonlord's chamber "outside of time"
>>487486682i wish the needle mechaninc didnt exist, force people commit to their choice
More proof that Miyazaki is a retarded piece of shit.But more importantly, further proof that frenzied flame fags are fucking retards with no taste.No one asked for a boss fight that's just 24/7 AoE attack spam, let alone with unblockable status AoE and a gimmicky one-shot impale.
Running through the game with a +3 club at level 20 was worth it for this.
>>487486159Yes, Devonia was seeking the crucible in the shadowlands, this guy was too.
>get invaded>door dash dane>drops me 99 crab meat>leavest-thanks
>>487482095>175Or you could just make an honest dual jump L1 build with 80 STR.With the Rakshasa Armor it should be even easier to kill people in a single hit.
>>487485075She hates rotfags and thus telling them to kill themselves is in character.She could go either way hypothetically on aiding with or against Leda since Miquella splits into two people and one of them tells you to kill the other one.
>>487486886>24/7 AoE attack spamBro thats like every boss in the game
>>487486204I will literally never do this "use the other catalyst off hand" shit, it's impossibly gay and from should require you casting shit with the catalyst for the boost
>>487485034Miquella's onahole...
>>487486942Based. Love silly themed invaders/gank squads
Nuking password fuckbois and the host is so satisfying.
>>487486958Exactly. That's why I said "further proof".I keep waiting for ONE good boss fight, but no, they're all just retards that spam long, boring combos that hit like trucks while you just fucking sit there blocking, or rolling, or parrying, or running, or IF YOU'RE LUCKY, you get to jump or duck.What fucking idiot told Miyazaki that what players REALLY wanted out of the game was to just not be allowed to play the fucking game during 90% of the boss fights while you sit and wait for your turn?
>can't fuck miquella>can't let my CHAD KING gideon the all-kino survive and rule the land with me as bros>ranni is a doll with no pussyThis game SUCKS
>>487486886>>487487193>"when is it my turn?" unironicallyMan.
>>487486902Too skinny here, not good
i honestly don't understand the people who gank but they use every exploit in the book, including the level (like camping an elevator and then nuking you as you come up to them or something). like, you won, but of course you won. you are basically cheating. how is that interesting at all? i don't see how you can win almost 100% of the time easily without effort or thinking, and feel good about those wins? i just sincerely don't get it. i've never had the urge to do that myself. even though i easily could, how is it not just boring as fuck? how long can it really be "funny"? i can't empathize at all with these people.
How do I reconcile sorcerers sinking 60 levels into Intelligence while I spread my levels across Vigor(40), Endurance(38), Strength(42), Dexterity(30), and Faith(22)? Might start getting Arcane(10) up.
>>487486231I want to be a magma wyrm.
>>487487451You know how normalfags watch bad movies and go 'this was the best thing ever'It's basically that, they won so it was awesome, period
How do I quickly adjust to a new control scheme? I beat a few bosses on a new character but I still reflexively press the wrong button when I'm not focused on the controls.
>>487486851Tch. So if you want to save her, you have to betray her.Thank you very much, it'll help with my fanfic.
And no matter how ludo, how ELABORATE.A RETCON.WILL REMAIN A RETCON.Young anon... Knowing this, do you, still, desire Elden Ring 2?
>>487487451I had the same complaints.But they're never going to change so that's why I just said fuck it and made the suicide bomber build to blow shit up.If they want to play dirty then just play dirty back.
>>487487462Plan your levels instead of wasting them on random shit (do you need 38 end, do you need 42 str, do you need 30 dex, do you need 22 faith) mostlySouls games are all about concessions
>>487487597yeah but shouldn't that just get boring after a day? i've used cheats in games in the past like morrowind but it quickly got boring and pointless, like "what should i do now? i got everything i could ever want in the game already. im invincible. there's no point in doing anything now." and i never used cheats again after that. it kills the meaning of life.
>>487471994What’s the faith equivalent of this level of bullshit?
>>487487451I imagine that in the same way I enjoy mildly inconveniencing hosts, they enjoy mildly inconveniencing invaders. Though with all the teabagging I'm inclined to believe they like to think they're pissing people off.
Not the first time I see people saying they want to fuck a girl with Miquella, why? What's the logic?
>>487487642you know you can remap buttons, it can't be that big of a difference
wow this is so fun
>>487487758Yeah but they're not 'all there' in the head, so it doesn't register
>>487487821Making out with mickey boy while you spitroast a girl
>>487487758I used to cheat in every game I played.Then I turned 17 or so and I realized how empty it left me. I recently got Tomb Raider 2 on Steam and I tried to play it "normally", and while I'm stuck in the opera, it was still very fun.
>>487487462don't get sidetracked into every new weapon, or simply respec
>>487487405And all of the piece of shit's animations look identical. You don't know if the fucking retard is floating up into the air while t-posing because it's about to spin-attack you, shoot eye lasers at you, or do the shitty impale attack. And the way you avoid EACH of those attacks opens you up to be punished by the other two.It's like that fucking retard Miyazaki really said, "let's really make this fight *chaotic* hehehehehe and make the boss spam identical telegraphs so whether or not you win is heavily RNG."
>>487487821>whyConsult the following illustration https://files.catbox.moe/u44lhj.png
>>487474490I think str/faith can do some fun shit with buffs because of the 2H property. It’s the only way I managed to make black flame blade AND casting work at the same time.
>>487487809>Though with all the teabagging I'm inclined to believe they like to think they're pissing people off.I've noticed that hosts/gankers/summons constantly do this if they win, even if barely.It's amazing how they manage to be more toxic than invaders ever were exploiting everything in the book and being a petulant child on top of it all.Just goes to show how false all the ones crying about invaders were all this time when they were worse all along.
Help me with radahn pls...

>>487488004exactly. i mean i figure it's edgy teens with low IQ's but it's still baffling to me how they can do it long term. i'll forgive anyone giving it a spin and doing it for a day or even two, but after that, cmon man what are you even doing? by the 100th win in a row shouldn't you be bored of the same trick? doesn't it feel like a waste of time, like you didn't really accomplish anything of merit?
>>487488483just do this
>>487486886Not bad bait.Still little too obvious.Cook it more.
>>487487831I did remap them. I moved dodge/sprint to L1, offhand to L2, and skill to circle, so I have full movement and camera control without a claw grip. But it's fucking me up.

>>487488603I mean, I can get it. In my case, I did it because I didn't really want to learn the game, and I was scared of losing.I mean, when your very first strategy game is Starcraft, in which the enemy attacks en masse after 2 minutes... it leaves little traumas.
Are the colosseum ranks supposed to reset after every logout? I got moved back to the start as soon as I relogged
>>487488149to be fair: there are in fact noobs who do in fact need help to beat the game, legitimately. the problem is the people who use the tools meant to help noobs are souls vets with thousands of hours of experience in this and previous games. and noobs aren't noobs forever, and with youtube and twitch they can become pretty dangerous pretty fucking quickly nowadays.

>>487487462You're only supposed to heavily level the stats most relevant to your build, while keeping others at the minimum to hit requirements for things you care about, like incantations or something. For instance, all that dex is doing absolutely nothing for your Anvil Hammer; what do you have it that high for?
>>487488639nvm he's ez loljust needed to use ribers of blood :33 tries is still more than a boss should take, imo

>>487489085You suck.
>>487489125>>Plan your levels>No.Ok, didn't read the rest btw
>>487488798good answer. very good answer. i think you hit the nail on the head, that's probably true of the typical ganker from my experience.
>>487488975>what the fuck man, the only difference is jumping and 2-handing, what kind of weird ass control scheme are you using?... what? Are you high by any chance?
>>487489173if i suck then y am i alive and the boss is dead?
>>487489127incredibly basedkeep up the good work
>>487489127CHUD YOU CANNOT DO THIS!!!! YOU WERE SUPPOSED TO LOSE!!!
>>487489220In my case, I ended up fighting it. Hell, even Age of Empires 2, I managed to get the courage to play it "fair". Only in easy, sometimes in normal, because I still suck and I'm too lazy to really put in the effort, but I stopped using cheats in general.Hell, I even got an emulator and played old games I never played fair in, like Future Cops LAPD, and I played it without cheats, and fucking hell, it's fun as heck.
>>487489127Murkwater cave is not a place people use for ganking.
>>487488980>what do you have it that high for?It was 22 for my Nagakiba. Since great katana is a thing, and I'm hoping to get a second one for powerstancing, I'm trying light greatswords instead. Which are Dexterity, and she looks lovely in motion.>>487489198>Ok, didn't read the rest btwFair, I forgot to say 'thank you so much' for the reply. I deleted it when I saw a second response, I had thought I could put it in to catch both yours and the other's post. Scatterbrain shit.
>>487489125I like you. Home your dick gets sucked soon.
>>487489609It absolutely is. I got ganked there just the other day.
>>487489609You can see that another invader had just been killed, so they obviously have taunters tongue active and are waiting there to gank.
>>487489342you asked>How do I quickly adjust to a new control schemeThe only way the question makes sense without context is adjusting to the ER controls coming from Souls games. The only major differences in control are the jump button and as a consequence the new way to 2hand weapons.Moving your weapon keybinds off the shoulder buttons is weird. And if claw grip truly bothers you, buying a controller with back paddles/buttons is a much better solution on the long term
>>487489609>two fatasses with 100+ poise>another invader just died>they're standing aroundit was a tt gank
>>487489702Why are you holding onto worthless stats for a weapon you don't use anymore? Respec you retard
>>487489609öÖö
are there any chest pieces that hide weapon sheathes? cant stand the fkin sheathe for the great katana
>>487489085>3 tries is still more than a boss should take, imoYou started malding and complaining about him before you even fought him a measly three times?
>>487489609Ignore my post. I am stupid. Invade far/near allow you to invade from anywhere. And they're just waiting there after clearing that cave.
Hey chuddies I'm doing my first run since 2022 and I wanna know if anyone knows since I can't recallDoes getting to volcano manor count as getting to altus? Will it fuck my quests?I'd like to rush a FTH/INT staff so I don't have to wait too much for my character to get online
>>487489702>Impaling Thrust is a generic skillThe only time I've applied an Art of War is Carian Retaliation for a shield with no skill. Very OCD about removing a weapon's base skill, as it's "meant" to be used. But I can definitely see myself replacing this one, very exciting prospect.
Holy shit playing with Dragoncrest Shield Talismans feels like I'm playing a completely different game. It feels like I gained 20 levels of VIG
>>487490331>mechanic in the game is not "meant to be used"they give the whetstones to you for a reason
>>487490319>Does getting to volcano manor count as getting to altus? Will it fuck my quests? yes do Rya's questif you want crab
>>487489714Manifesting.
>>487488053I see.
>>487490467I hope you mean the greatshield vs never using one one, because the base talisman is just 10%
>>487490535Thank you babe
If a cool guy like Ansbach thinks Mohg was the best, maybe the Lord of Blood wasn't so bad after all.
>>487488519Zamn, Miquella looks like that?
>>487490507>not "meant to be used"Mistype?I tried using the whetstones, once, on Nagakiba, since it was the only non-somber weapon I used. I couldn't bring myself to make it do more bleed or whatever, just put-off on the reduction in damage.. Which is stupid, the increased frequency of Hemorrhage should make up for the loss in direct damage.
I think it's really sweet how it was implied that Morgott had found the Flowing Sword and was giving it back to Malenia (why it's his men guarding the carriage it was found it). He seemed to have had a soft spot for her and her brother.
>>487490942Boy I remember this game on release, good timesMy MEGA has many a rya in it
>>487490715His death speech might highlight mohg ideal the best. Become a lord for men, not gods.
>>487490209The problems were obvious from the first attempt.Look at Commander Gaius. Now THAT'S a decent fight. Loads of fun. The attacks make sense. They've all got different tells. They're cool. He's dynamic. And he's 100% killable on the first attempt if your eyes are open.I do mald fast because I usually only need 1 or 2 tries on a boss. My record is Malenia taking 6. The second I hit a fight I can't finesse with instincts and reaction time, I get mad because imo a good game doesn't force you to use trial-and-error to clear fights. It ruins my immersion.
>>487490615Even the base one of 10% is insanely good. That turns 1900 HP into 2111 HP for physical damage, which is more than the +2 Crimson Amber Medallion. The Greatshield version is insane, its basically like 2375 hp
>>487491046Those carriages are meant to carry the dead, so he'd probably recovered the blind swordsman and his weapon and was returning it to Malenia. Maybe he'd hoped to return her sanity or something with the gesture. Of course, then your Tarnished happened upon the convoy and the rest is history.
>>487491046>a soft spot for her and her brotherMaybe.I would think their divestment of the Erdtree, coupled with their Haligtree, would see the "king" of Leyndell want to make peace. Especially with a goddess of scarlet rot.
>get towards the higher colosseum ranks >same 3 builds + everyone is spamming aromatics and infinite pots >people dont even say hi at the start anymore, just open with some ranged attack and hope you will get hit Sweats ruin everything
>build up stacks>drink flask of infinite mana/stamina>big fun laser like comet azurExcept the stacks fall off faster than I can stack them, or I CAN stack it full but the target dies and there's nothing left to laser.Could be saved if they untied the WA from the stacks. Just have the stacks build damage and the WA be a normal (incredibly overpowered) WA.

>>487491046No one is going to hate the literal child of the family
487462994No one is threatened by you, buddy.
>>487467180I still say that shield is meant to represent a vulva. It's even got the hooded nub at the top.
>>487491257who the fuck has 1900hp when they find the base one though? Tbh I'd say you're more likely to find the +2 or +1 first.that aside, I don't agree that it "feels like I'm playing a completely different game", that's at best survivng one more minor attack. It's not magically getting you out of 2shot range.

>>487492026I still have not gotten a way to counter that ashe of war other than holding down my r2 and hoping they are retarded enough to rush back immediately to my attack as it come down.

>>487492026God I hate the speed of this thing in Elden Ring. The Great Curved Swords are better in DS3.
>>487492307shrimply burself
Playing a STR character is actually a good way to keep the game challenging without getting too frustrated. I can still destroy the boring enemies I don't want to fight again but if things get too easy I can just pull out a thrusting sword. With that said, replaying the game is an unpleasant reminder of just how many boring fights there are scattered around.

>>487492114My favorite part is where they agreed she shuts the fuck up when he rages
>>487493684You don't hear their voicelines. They don't bloat Radahns health before dying instantly. After the fight they're corpses are lootable inside the arena anyway.
>>487493623Like this?
>>487493495actually its good and based to be greedy because wanting to play the game is healthy and natural, while being content to sit back and dodge and block endless attacks is the sign of a smoothbrained masochist that hasn't got a thought in their head, let alone the ambition to fight.
>>487493930hell yeah
I keep getting stressed out when seeing other people here or on other sites rave about this or that other weapon or spell or build that I can't use, because I can't find them or my stats aren't bloated enough to use them.
>>487493919Or this?
>>487493994the grass is always greener on the other side and most of that stuff is gimmicky shit that will disappoint you anyway

>>487494485Radahn....
So I'm about to go into the DLC for the first time and I've done everything in the base game save beating Radagon and Malenia. Am I going to be gaining a bunch more levels from here on out? And if I do, should I boost my character's Faith and Vig from 60 to 80 or is that a meme?
>>487494641Yeah you're gonna get a shitload of runes. I'd suggest stopping at lvl 150 or if you're struggling 200.
anyone on ps5 willing to drop me a divine beast helm?
>>487493994No hard feeling. I run around with my death flame stuff in ansbach's robe and sanguine noble hood. The black flame great sword is generous enough to be scaling with dex so I can run with black knifes as an alternative weapon choice.
>>487493623Ok.

I can't choose between leveling for weapon requirements or spell requirements.I always level for spell requirements but I only cast spells half the time in the dlc because you always have to fight up close.

>>487497419How good is it at drawing Radahn's attention?
They really need to rework the way magic works in these games. I feel like that having 10 spell slots wasted on "its the same shit but slightly more expensive" is just bad.Maybe spells should be upgradeable too. Maybe you could tweak them in such way so that Glintstone Shit You Throw is one spell and the charge level dictates which one you get or something
well /erg/?
>>487497661Int is real funFath tooJust toybox itMix stuff up, try to be cool, don't fall for trying to be metaFew people know the kino of a flaming strike longsword on one hand and dragon incantations on the other, for example, fuck shit upTry the miner spells they're fun
>>487497923It registers 7 Leeroys on the aggro scale and has a flox capacitor.
>>487497369Peak 'fuck lorefags' moment.
>>487498023Remain sad forever. If you tell him to put it behind him he shows up in the gankfight and is a fucking nightmare to deal with and I'm not having that on any of my characters after the first time.
>>487497924Every aspect of the combat system is due for an overhaul/update.
>>487497924Stop using 10 versions of glintstone pebble>>487498023I don't know I'm just a young thug tryna make it big in the projects
>>487497924All the spells have different speeds, costs, and other properties, and all serve a purpose. All they gotta do is put them on a radial menu instead of the stupid one directional scrolling.
They really need to rework the way weapons work in these games. I feel like that having 10 weapon slots wasted on "its the same moveset but slightly different scaling" is just bad.
>>487497717cool moveset that starts with a quick pokewing stance is great
>>487498262Unironically.The massive redundant weapon roster made sense in 2 because 90% of weapons had either a unique combination of moves or some other weird quirk or gimmick like taking virtually no stamina to use. Dark Souls 3 and Bloodborne both had much smaller overall weapon rosters with a bigger emphasize on their being a unique gimmick to each weapon or else a definitive weapon in each category. In elden ring each weapon category has 1 or at most 2 movesets and there's typically 1 optimal weapon for each--or in many cases 1 moveset is strictly superior and the other has no reason to exist. It's a game of like 30 weapons masquerading as a game of 200 weapons
>>487494192What I use feels really gimmicky, too, besides also being one-note.>>487494421I can't, because I don't have the DLC.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ACe5kgEeQK4MAQUAHUITL IN ELDEN RING WHEN?>can use paddle side on Miquella to spank him>can use obsidian side on Leda to get her to stop shouting at you
>>487498243This is legitimately not true, there's no reason to use any other comet once you can use Night Comet or Comet itself. Similarly, there's no reason to use any Carian Phalanx aside from Greatblade Phalanx.
>>487498871Too kino for gaming sorry
>>487498969Completely wrong
>>487497924Make the mana bar behave like stamina.
>>487498023Sad forever. I never struggle with him because I use black flame/destine death that burn his hp down.
>>487499007Even FFXIV has maquahuitls.
>>487498023you should kill yourself NOW!
Offhand dane's footwork sucks
>>487499151It should be slower to recover than stamina but yeah there's really no reason your FP should be so limited.
>>487499401The only good moves in the hand to hand moveset is the jumping R2 and running R2. Offhand gets neither.
>>487499272>FFXIV
>>487499272Only ARR though
>>487499151dope, did not think to use that spell. just ran behind the trees like a basic bitch
>>487499624...doesn't Dawntrail add more? I was hoping, since my friend showed me pictures of structures looking like the templo mayor, or Tenochtitlan.>>487499619He died lol.
>>487493476Ask him idkI asked and like he didn't have a very good answer
>>487499629>dope, did not think to use that spell. just ran behind the trees like a basic bitchIt gets better.
>>487498262I'd like fewer weapons, but they're all unique like Lies of P or BB.
Tell me how to optimize this thing
>>487500000HECK???
>>487499947Have you try riding ahead of him
>>487500073combo talismans and flask, jellyfish shield, 1h R2s
>>487497661I'm thinking about doing an INT playthrough with dual rapiers.Rogier's in mainhand, Sorcery Sword in the offhand.Gear that boosts AR with combos.I think it'll probably be pretty fun, most rapier L2s aren't as useful as Piercer or Gavel anyways so I won't miss not having skills.
>>487497924The worst part is scrolling through them in combat
>>487496067>Malikethnah fuck you hes kino. plus he has no hp
>>487500000That would have been useful, but I am playing faith at the moment. Next larva tears, I might just swap back to a mage.
>>487500090Yeah
>>487500183The only thing(the ONLY thing) Lords of the Fallen(2023) did that I'd want in a future Fromsoft game is the way they let you assign spells to certain keys. Hold down the "use" button for your catalyst and press the key for the spell you want to cast. Felt so much better than scrolling through 10+ spells one at a time.
>>487499749I haven't played it so idkMaybe
>>487500485I should get to it, but I'm stuck in post-Endwalker. FFXIV has that big pacing issue where you finish an expansion, you defeated the super evil guy who wanted to destroy the world, and then you're back to "normal" adventurer stuff. It all feel so lacking...
It's probably just me, but I'm not enjoying Elden Ring combat. Either I'm bullying mooks weaker than me, or I'm cheating with status effects and summons to beat bosses stronger than me.
>>487500073for pvp it pairs really well with the spread crossbow+bleed bolts
>>487500370I didn't play it long but I liked in the first one that you got a bonus for holding souls so you wanna risk not leveling for more rewards.
>>487500708Take the Sekiro tear pill. Game becomes 1000% more fun.
>>487498262what could they do? there's only so many ways to swing a sword
>>487500708have you considered just not cheating?
>>487500073stack regen on hit shit
>>487500370I still think the Wo Long system is the best one. Press a button (been a while, can't remember which one exactly) and then one of the face buttons and you get the spell bound to that slot. They even added multiple rows so you can get 8 spells, all from a single 2 button press. It's so retardedly comfortable to do mid combat.
Familiar to... what?

Anyone want to help me with General Niall in about 20 minutes? PS5, SL 150. Just bought the DLC after a year away so trying to get the Haligtree medallion to warp to Mohg.
>>487501117Shit I was thinking of Evangelion lol
>>487501432Maybe?
>>487501032That's pretty much what LotF did.In fact, you could have like 16 spells mapped to the face buttons. Hold down L1(or whatever you have mapped to the "cast" action), swap between four sets of spells mapped to the face buttons with the directional pad.
>>487501042>Familiar to... what?Elden Beast boss room.
>>487500708Elden ring combat is just a step up from skyrim combat of pressing attack and moving back to get out of enemy attack. It's mostly about the power fantasy of becoming a god killer.
>>487501590>>487501032Second line in my post is a what-if for a possible future Fromsoft implementation, not what LotF did. Sorry if that was unclear.
>>487500708>It's probably just me, but I'm not enjoying Elden Ring combatYou're not alone. I hate how slow your attacks are compared to your attacks in DS3. I went back recently to record some weapon animations and the whole thing felt like a well fitted glove.
>let me take a break from elden ring and watch some knife vid-
>>487501132>And it would be a waste of my flask since I never played Sekiro or any other pure Soulslike.press L2 instead of B and now you do more damage

What level were you guys at when you beat the game? I was level 87 when I got to the part when you have to burn the erdtree (at Mountaintop of the Giants), but decided to keep exploring before going further and I'm at level 117 now, I'm afraid that if I keep leveling up the rest of the game will not be challenging
>>487500000but can you do the same thing with the horizontal flame vortex?
>>487502498>when you beat the gamei never did...
>>487502401He mentioned being in post-Endwalker. That would be the story where you're forced into an FFIV re-enactment for the 20th anniversary.
>>487502498I never beat the game in the two years I had it. My will just broke from picking the hard mode class.
>>487502183maybe poopas ACK posts were accurate all along….
>>487502360I'm not even at the DLC yet, I've resisted the urge to just go cheese Mohg so I won't be going there until I get past Consecrated Snowfield. Things have been going fine until I got to that particular lion faggot which instagibs in like 3 frames, which just makes me assume the rest of Castle Sol will be equally gay. Is it like a "Caelid (ez) vs Caelid But now it's raining (get ready for an ass fucking) thing and Sol is scaled like Snowfield?
>>487502498I stopped at 150 cause I wanted to keep cooping.

Which one looks the best? Can't decide.
>>487502257>>faggot lion at Castle Sol breathes cool ranch stink breath on me for 0.005 secondsDid all that shit with a perfectly serviceable 40 vigYou only need enough to tank 1 hit, 2 at mostJust don't get hit and stun your enemies, grab a shield if you're having trouble (those guys get mogged by guardcounterkino, but killing them at a range is also valid)
>>487502498rl1no but seriously I was rl165 roughly on my first playthrough. don't worry the final boss rush will absolutely kick your ass no matter what

>>487502498150.>>487502909You can't really cheese Mohg anymore, it's an assfucking. But yes, things get worse and basically everything will 2-3 shot you.>>4875031722
>>487503273>>487503415I liked the red but I think you're right. He looks a bit better when I make him mature too. Either way I'm not good enough at this wretched editor to ever be totally satisfied.

>>487503639And you did?
>>487503782yes nigga
>>487503172Looks like Justin Trudeau lmao
>>487503858No, you didn't. You know why.
>>487503782I've never beaten a game in my life
>>487503410So I heard. But honestly, so long I get to explore new lands, I'm looking forward to it.
>>487504098The new writer also wrote the endwalker patches hahaPeople don't like himWe'll see how the dawntrail patches end up
>>487504098You do get to explore new lands there. Hope you enjoy fantasy South America, fantasy Old West USA, and fantasy cyberpunk that's also FFIX nostalgia.
>>487503878I think I just improved him but you fags will probably say it sucks anyway.

... Is this asshole waiting around that corner for a reason? Is he supposed to jump you when you first show up?
Well that's a little bit fucked up. The jar innards open their arms wide when staggered, as if they're welcoming the critical hit.
>>487506147pretty sure they're like half wolves
>>487506467Yea. He's supposed to jump out from behind the corner because From thinks they're so goddamn funny with that "gimmick"
>>487506482They would howl instead of making chimp sounds.
>>487504303Yeah, I heard the writing is... terrible. Not Stormblood terrible, AKA "ablublu they added politics to my game", but genuinely terrible, aka "imagine they picked Alphinaud in ARR, so extremely naive, and made him the main character, AGAIN". And also some stuff with souls, which makes me uneasy, because I'm a bit religious and I think that taking someone's soul is one of the worst things you can do to someone.>>487504351JEBIOK!!

>>487506467it's a tree sentinel. You can whoop his ass faster than making this post
>>487506794if you die against sheep you have to uninstall the game forever
>>487506823nice! thanks for the tip.
>>487498707It will forever burn my ass that the Death's Poker and Sword of Milos R2 will forever be stuck on uninfusable weapons, because apparently what almost every greatsword needed was the fucking horizontal swipe.
>>487507234everyone loving the claymore legitimately burns from's ass for some reason.
>>487507096They don't call 'em GOATs for nothing.
>>487505702Spend less time going through the mental and physical process of applying all those buffs, and instead use that brainpower to just go in and attempt to learn the boss' moves. Pay real fucking close attention and don't just swing wildly because muh buffs timing out. I guarantee you'll do better.
>>487507334>burns from's ass>gives it the only r1 slash, r2 poke moveset until the DLC
>another day without news on the next fromsoft game
>>4875064672 charged R2s knock him on his ass, hug him and dodge smartlyNot a hard guy
I've noticed something, if you compare miquella's original body to radahns original body miquella is small enough to be able to fit in radahns palms and small enough for malenia to carry him on her shoulder. I think miquella was barefoot because he never walked anywhere he just had other people carry him 24/7
>>487506936It's actually kind of sad to see how far they've fallen after all we've been though. They used to be such menaces,>>487507831I had no idea it was a Tree Sentinel. I was thinking it was some new mounted asshole that breathed 40 foot cones of fire and throw spears of light at a rate of 1200 rounds per second.
>>487501864Greatswords feel so icky to use in ER. I hate the animations.
>>487508417GS do more damage in ER and are great at stance breaking. The DaS3 GS are more like long straight swords. I will agree about the animations, as 90% of them are swung like clubs.
>>487501864Genuine question why play elden ring if you don't like the combat? I'm not trying to sound like a fanboy I don't even play elden ring anymore, I'm just wandering why people choose to play things they dislike or have a better option in a previous game
>>487506679>a bit religiousBest kind of religious. Not full fanatic mode and not full hypocrite mode either.I wonder how the average resident of the Lands Between feels about the whole GW and GO and Marika and all that rot, it's all couched in the language of religion but these are actual, tangible people and things, so surely that throws a spanner in the works for traditional worship.
>>487501864>>487508665Ashen One feels like a much better fighter than the Tarnished. Here's a comparison:https://youtu.be/M5MgNkAQVpAThe Tarnished flails about a lot more.
>>487508665Everything does more damage in er simply because the style of game er is meant to be is melt or be melted kinda like nioh with worse animations.
>>487508996>>487501864ER animations are much better for PvP. PvE will never be balanced, so I'd much rather they focus on creating systems that balance well in PvP.
>>487508996The ashen one was canonically a warrior howeverbeit so it sorta makes senseTarnished are technically just about anyone
>>487509372ER animations are much better for PvE. PvP will never be balanced, so I'd much rather they focus on creating systems that balance well in PvE.
>>487508996>>487501864>>487508417They all swing around like retards. For holding their weapon the bear of the curse is better, for swinging the ashen one is better, for damage the tarnished is better. They're all really fucking bad and dumb but good at a very specific thing. I don't like how the elden ring swings are for one simple reason, dark souls it made sense for you to swing like a retard from 1 and 2 because you're a fucking zombie who's brain is slowly rotting away it made sense and somewhat reflected the hollows you'd fight that would flail around wildly you can look at them and tell if you gave up that's gonna be you in the future and you already aren't too far off. Even the Ashen one, as sentient ash, and still a fucking zombie, made sense. But the tarnished's lore doesn't match how shit they swing, you're supposed to be some great warrior of godfrey or a descendant of one, but you're flailing around worse and have worse form than some grunt enemies you find ingame who are practically hollow zombies. It makes no sense in lore or thematically for you to swing everything like a club or so slowly
Is there any build in which starting as Hero would be better than Vagabond? Not referring to the starting equipment, but the stat spread.
>>487466851Consort Radahn 2nd phase is bad
>>487509557>you're supposed to be some great warrior of godfrey or a descendant of oneAll the people in the hold are tarnished too anon, one is just some priest nigga
>>487509647use the build planner and see
What's the highest DPS melee weapon (not AR) vs. the last DLC boss?I'm not sure if bleed-infused curved swords or back blades are the best ones.
>>487509647arc builds
>>487509676Hence the "descendant of one" thing. That's what all tarnished are lore wise one of godfrey's men or their descendants.
>>487508816I can't really get too religious, since I daydream of my best friend fucking me in the ass. Also I don't believe in prayers, I think God has better things to do than help me.I assume it works like in 1984: 80% of the population doesn't really care, and the remaining 19% are watched closely while the remaining 1% breath down their necks.
>>487509916probably a bleed bloodfiend arm on an occult build while stacking buffs
>>487509926My point being that you could be a shitter tooCool guy youtuber I watch praised the light greatswords for looking a lot like actual sword usagehttps://www.youtube.com/shorts/4HTX72BaDr8
>>487509647Any build that invests in ARC.You only need about 2~3 chars for stat min-maxing; vagabond, hero, and another one that has low str/dex/arc for a caster.
>>487509892no>>487509923>>487510075thank you
>>487509647pure str str/arcanything that doesn't need mindi like this artist's bloodborne stuff a lot
>>487509926>>487510052Wrong video whoopshttps://www.youtube.com/shorts/VYwsvd8jjqY
Is +4 scadutree blessing and 60 VIG good enough for the lion boss?
>>487510545if you have good defense from your own build or fast attacks sure
>>487510545should be fine
>the expansion didn't include something that takes your excess golden seeds
>>487510721thats ranni
>>487508695>Genuine question why play elden ring if you don't like the combat?Because there are other options outside of greatswords and great curved swords. Isn't that obvious in an action RPG.
>>487511208some retards here think that complaining about things in the game means you hate everything about it pay it no mind.
>>487511431>someTo be honest I think it's the majority.
>>487511431No its because I do hate everything about this game and don't play this piece of shit I'm here because I like you guys I play ds3 while talking to you all>>487511208But most other weapon animations are worse too
>>487509557>They all swing around like retards.No one gives a fuck about realism in a video game, it's more important for them to work properly and be satisfying to use.
>>487511717I care. If you try to argue with me again I'll smooch you
>>487511609>But most other weapon animations are worse tooLike what?
>>487511810>I care.No you don't because you would be playing sword simulator, not a high fantasy RPG.
>>487511717>No one gives a fuck about realism in a video gameI do>inb4 same reply you gave to himI didI put 60 hours in mordhau on the release month
ansbachs bow is crazy at low level
>>487511717>and be satisfying to useI'd be more satisfied if my high-STR Tarnished could actually show off his strength by being able to swing heavy things faster.
>>487512141>I doGo play sword simulator then.
>>487512336Nuh uh
>>487511717Also most realistic sword animations look zesty as fuck. For example the Milady, insanely zesty moveset. Sorry but I ain't gay.
>>487512860Like I said to the other anon, go play sword simulator if you're desperate for realism (we all know you're not serious and just want to complain).
>>487513154(zesty means gay)
>>487513337Then why didn't you just talk plainly then?
>>487511717Like many aspects of Elden Ring there was a fine line of balance lost somewhere
Why is there no co-op summoning pool in front of Rellana's bossfog? I kinda wanted at least the opportunity to get summoned for her, but any host who's summoning people at the start of Castle Ensis is going to be low on healing by the time they get to her, making it that much harder to keep them alive.
Believe it or not, I tanked this.
/erg/ I need desperate help right now. I walked up to the dung eater ready to defile him with the seedbead curses but I wanted to take a screenshot before I did it. I pressed the print screen button but the game tabbed out to steam for some reason. when I tabbed back in he was dead and his set was right there. Now I can't get his mending rune. Is there any way I can reverse this, how do I fix it or is the run fucked? I really wanted to do his ending
>>487514029Definitely an oversight
