>>489328116Romina's Buds
Romina is a good looking boss from a distance, but up close she is disgusting because of those pink things on her skin
Pidia is RadahnRanni is Miquella
>so mad at how annoying it is to wait for my turn to fight it that I don't even refresh the area to see what changesI can't handle being disappointed right now, need to clear my mind at Cerulean Coast.
>>489328116Rot Girl Summer
Ah, the classic shared hatred over misunderstanding trope. The wholesome gimmick-build red, the enviable roleplayer red, they have a grasp of the mechanics of the game and so they explore their options to try and express creativity and engage with the platonic ideal of Miyazaki's unexpected miniboss. They invade the world of the average host with average phantoms, who have equipped items that someone else told them to equip, and are employing strategies that they did not discover on their own. They have no desire to explore the game's broader mechanics, they view the game and all within it as an obstacle between them and the dopamine hit of yellow text telling them that they have defeated the hard meme game. When the red arrives, they have no situational awareness of the circumstances, they have no threat assessment ability, they don't understand anything except that another player has come to take away their yellow text. The wholesome roleplayer approaches them with their Furled Finger Trick Mirror and their carefully sculpted appearance, suboptimal weapons gripped in their hands and no obnoxious invader tools up their sleeve. They present themselves as a fun encounter. The host and their phantoms do NOT see a fun encounter. They see the Bad Red Man. They think that this spiteful and malevolent player has come to ruin their experience rather than enhance it, and so they treat the red as such. The red, having experienced the unbridled contempt of people indulging in the only moment of control that they have in their life, comes away from the encounter filled with bitterness. He looks at what happened and thinks, "If I only had this, I could have won that fight." And then come the tools. The Golem Arrows. The Raw Meat Dumplings. The Starlight Shards. The hard swap practice. They become the Bad Red Man that the hosts think they are.
anyone fc?
Ok. I am convinced this is the best great hammer in the game. Nothing in its weapon class hits quite as hard. With my flask and 1 (ONE) buff I get 1250 AR. With golden vow in the mix I get 1450. Not to mention its absurdly good guard counter that stance breaks the living shit out of everything.
>>489328698My man it is way too early in the morning on a weekday for you to get an FC going.
>>489328837im not a amerimutt :/
>>489328821Is it a heavy build or sacred build?
>>489328821Second best, Great Stars is just too hard of an act to follow. Innate bleed plus passive healing on hit is just too much horse shit to top. That one is quite good though.
>>489328938sacred
>>489328938NTA but it actually works best on flame art. Funny enough the black knight weapons do best on flame art while the fire knight weapons do best on sacred.
>>489328938Works well on both. I like buffing it with Golden order weapon
>>489328994>>489329052>>489329150Yeah it’s a great weapon for faith builds. My second favorite weapon in the dlc
>>489328947Greatstars loses in fashion though
>>489329242This I will yield to. Great Stars looks awful by comparison.
>>489328947Great Stars are fine, but bleed with that mediocre swing speed is nothing special. Especially compared to hyperarmored giga-guard counters. Even in pvp.
>>489329497>bleed with that mediocre swing speed is nothing specialYou're supposed to either Occult infuse it or cast BFB on it, anon.
>>489329581Even like that, it's nothing special. Giga guard counters are entirely competitive with it.
why did they cut out all the cutscenes in the trailers from the base game and DLC
>>489328698If a third person is interested I'm willing to give it a try
>>489329659They really aren't.
>decide to try out milady since people said it was good>17 dex requiredguess not lol
>>489329937They are. It's just like 90 bleed on a greathammer, it's nothing compared to the utility of the new counters.
I don't remember going here in the dlc
After playing Strength I just can't go back. Dex is so fucking weak, no staggering, no poise breaking, having to dip into things like bleed to make it viable or doing something gay like Dex/Int. Even if you make a split build in Strength like Str/Fai it is better than what Dex can produce. Why do Dexfags do it to themselves? Why don't they just make the switch?
>>489330107You didn't explore Shadow keep entirely then.
>>489330107lmao did you also miss Scadutree Avatar? How is it possible that you never did the second half of Shadow Keep?
>>489329052>actually works best on flame artNo. Flame Art's holy scaling is a dead weight.330+223 sacred damage is better than 266+244 fire damage/84+73 sacred damage thanks to how the defenses are calculated in this game. Never go for a triple damage type spread.
>>489329497>that mediocre swing speed is nothing specialwhich is why you pair it up with wild swings to completely remove that downside, while also gaining effective 400 poise
>>489330235I got through the scat avatar, but I don't remember that narrow walkways
>fighting Malenia with Dryleaf>takes at least 3 kicks to stagger her>can't knock her out of waterfowl>phase 2 turns into Man vs RNG since she has so many instakill movesIt's my own damn fault, I had forgotten that Malenia is actually really hard when you're going it alone. Oh how I wish hand to hand weapons had more stagger.
>>489330570Well if you did Avatar that means you drained the Church District, right? There is an elevator in there that brings you up to the Specimen Storehouse back area, which gives you access to that spot you posted
>>489330664just throw a frost pot at her brodieinstantly knocks her out of waterfowl
>>489330107so you missed Gaius, shaman village and Metyr?
>>489330778>>489331145Nevermind I actually did pass through that, the artwork made the narrowpath unrecognizable to me.
>>489330125>the moron thinks staggering is somehow inherent to STR builds when all the best stagger aow are designed for fast weapon classes, lighting is the best damage type in the game and all projectile ashes are stronger on keen
>>489331348>look I can stagger small weak enemies with my gay little L1 spams too! T-that counts! >Nooooo you can't use lightening grease on heavy weapons! >What do you mean Lion's Claw, Giant Hunt, Cragblade, etc are the best stagger/poise AoWs in the game?>What do you mean they aren't made for fast weapons?
>>489330125the coolest colossal is dex with a fth req btw
Realistically, when do you think we'll see an announcement for a new game? Next summer, maybe?
>>489332019>L1 spamsTry charged R2s with rakshasa, you queer>lightening grease on heavy weaponsYou need all that to emulate a portion of dex power>Lion's Claw, Giant Hunt, Cragblade, etc are the best stagger/poise AoWs in the gameAll inferior to unsheathe and can be used on dex weapons
>>489330859>frost pot>heh, nice try goddess, but I've brought a clay pot with mashed up plants insideMalenia confirmed to be a jobber.
>>489332223trailer at lameawardsrelease in apriltrust the plan xister
>>489332223idk but I want them (or some competent studio) to steal the Spellbound idea from that fake leak
>>489332258>he needs to charge R2 with a specific weapon to match 1 R1 stagger of literally any heavy strength weapon>he needs to forbid the use of greases in order to keep his point valid>he thinks unsheathe matches literally any of those AoW listed for poise damagepeak Dex cope
>>489330057>utility of counters lmaoPaired Great Stars staggers everything in seconds, and while the bleed isn't great it's enough to proc exultation and send it's AR to the stratosphere.The best part of the BS hammer is the Giant-Crusher tier AR with the Sacred infusion, would be a great weapon if you could farm a second one instead of being an one time drop.
they really need to fix the messmer fight. after the phase 2 transition he can get stuck behind the altar AND in the floor. doesnt happen often but if youre helping co op this boss over and over you will see it happen.
>>489330308I disagree for the DLC at least.I've tested this a bit and due to the DLC AR scaling, triple split weapons actually hit really fucking hard.
>>489329052That sounds retarded to make a weapon triple split damage.I definitely could be wrong, but it seems like an awful idea.
>i forgot to note the shadow frags i got and i'm missing twogoddammit
>>489332223most likely, with 2026 release
>>489322506>The fuck are you people even doing in this game where you need to cure rot?Having some phantom repeatedly cast rotten breath while being protected by two dudes swinging colossal weapons at me.
What is in your opinion the shittest enemy/boss in the game?I personally hate these faggots.
>abyssal woods not an invasion area
>>489332762Unsheathe is as fast as a Colossal R1, and has more range with the Nagakiba.Dex is completely braindead to play as, you can just mash L2R2 until everything dies.What STR had over it for PVE is the Fingerprint.
>>489333153midra - i hate delayed attacks
>>489333189It absolutely is. You're only gonna invade passwrod phantom ganksquads there, though.
>>489333153I'm at Godskin Duo, and boy I am not looking forward to really attempting to beat them. I hated the Godskin Apostle and was overleveled when I got to fatty. It's a fairly interesting fight in that I (as a STR build) will basically need to either cheese with sleepor just be super defensive and be prepared for a fight that could take like 15 minutes.
what's the unsheathe for curved swords, thrusting swords, axes and clubs?
>>489333153Why are these niggers able to do their gap-closer attack up to ten times in a row even if you're right in front of them?
>>489333278it would have been a kino 6 player areai want to bathe in the blood of 600hp burger king virgins
I'm stuck on consort radahn. I can get through phase 1 with barely using the estus, but I am never able to get him below 50% health without dying. I am using a lightning uchigatana, with crucible armor, and defensive talismans.
>>489333189>he missed the golden post dlc period when every shitter was trying to get through
>>489333383There's a reason why nobody uses those classes.Except Curved Swords, those have busted jump attacks so just spam those.
>>489333502Yeah with a few more enemies it would have made a great zone for an area defense covenant. But we're not allowed to have those anymore.
Still waiting for a way to go to jagged peak without beating dragonmanThere's two skibidis there
>>489333546nice spell selection, what's the weapon?
>>489333608single curved swords have busted jump attacks?
>>489333651It's the messmer soldier spear, an infusable long lance with treespear r2
>>489333383clubs have a fantastic cr2 which is used even on rl1 a lot for posture damage.thrusting sword can use impaling thrust or fang for posture damage and range.curved swords don't need high stagger, they are perfect for a multihit build, which is one of the highest dps playstyles in the game
>>489333739Only dual.
>>489333349I summoned bernahl and used sleep pots. It was fun times
>>489333153the dlc faggot slugs that spam the perfect tracking horse knocking 3km grab are on top of my shitlist
>>489333216So now you're falling back on speed?
>>489332019str niggers play the easiest build and keep this dishonest narrative
are there any good utility sorceries? starlight I guess?
What’s a good greatsword to use with a greatshield?
>>489334084Strengthchads are forced to find the best openings in boss fights, whereas Dexfags just throw an R1 in between each swing to chip away like cowards
>>489333153anything with delayed attacksanything with no downtime between attacks
How do you reliably avoid Radahn's attacks in phase 2? He swings, I dodge, I get caught in his fucking follow up holy AOE bullshit. I hate this boss
>>489333486dumb fromsoft AI.Ludwig could start his charge when you were right beside him. It also hits behind him.Consort Radahn can do both his ranged attacks (gravity pull and gravity spinning) when you are right by him.It's retarded in every case
>>489334832roll into him to the left
Are the swift/smithscript spears worth anything?
>>489334861>Ludwig could start his charge when you were right beside him. It also hits behind himSeems to be a running theme.
I AM THE STORM THAT IS APPROAAAAAAACHING.PROVOOOOOOOOOOOKING BLACK CLOUDS IN IIIISOLATIOOOOOOON
>>489333739dual with bleeddon't even need to buff stack since you'll get off bleed so quicklyarguably one of the most overpowered and braindead builds. same with claws and bleed.
>someone in last thread said flails do tons of poise damage>test it out on an enemy with tons of poise>never stun them>use two handed sword>stun them in 3 hits
>>489330125Just put impaling thrust ash on a lance or on some other great spear or great sword and you stance break faster than the vast majority of strength builds.Dex/int is very good, you can use the fast glintstone pebble to easily prevent poise from resting.
>>489335269I don't use flails but iirc they have very high posture damage on guard counters
is this dex or arc? 35 dex is a huge commitment on 150 arcane builds just to use this. 17 arc on 150 dex builds is also a bit.
Why'd they give Miquella a dumptruck
>>489335146endmaxxing chad
>>489335635Impaling Thrust only does 33 poise damage with those weapon types, vs 45 with, say, Lion's Claw
>>489335705you tell me
Leda shouldve been Miquella's consort, they could have attempted to do something like what they wanted to do for Oscar in Ds1 in cut content. I guess she is still our rival but facing her as a final boss and giving her more buildup wouldve been honestly been cool
>>489333632Do you think Micky ever... you know...
>mickella>sends us on a mickey mouse adventurebravo mikeyazaki san
>>489336156pleases old men for money
>>489336156had sex with himself? all the time
I think I found a new weapon to use a bunch. I was using the Serpent Flail for a while, but it bothers me thinking how it's basically the boomhammer but no where near as fun.Now I found this and read the description and it fits me perfectly after marrying Ranni.
Ranni and Miquella sex
Radahn is simply not a fun boss. The first phase is manageable but still bullshit. Roll dodge one attack, caught by his second without fail. AOE gravity pull attack that has an area of about half the arena into unavoidable AOE rocks. Instant teleport attacks. AOE follow up attacks to the normal attacks. Instant death mechanic. Insane reach on every attack he does. Instant follow up attacks even after his heavy attacks. Half of my estus charges are wasted because he gap closes even from extreme range to hit you while you are healing with a full combo. It's just pure luck getting the right RNG on his attack choices to down him.
>>489336703For once horny shit doesn't sound like some baseless headcanon either because experimenting with your genderswapped self is exactly something a kid would do and this one was a lot like his mommy.
>>489335010Perfectly balanced
>>489337064I like this idea too even though my headcanon is that he was probably her least favorite sibling, but that shouldn't get in the way of how much I like it conceptually. I wrote smut about this once but it was kind of goofy, so I might return to the idea.
Daedicar and god-devouring serpent sex
>>489337683>he was probably her least favorite siblingranni hates FAGGOTS
>>489336918you can also try the gargoyle blackblade, it has a powerful L2
>doing a playthrough where I do everything honestly for the first time in forever>spend 2 hours getting everything going>finally get to the point where i can farm my weapon of choice>spend 40 minutes farming a single skeleton for the executioner greataxe (with bird feet)>open CE and drop it for myselfI needed a good ol' fashioned reminder to never farm fucking anything in this stupid game, what a rip-off
>>489337754This, but also I just don't think she'd care for him being a goody two shoes with all the cunning of a snail.
>>489337864CE addicted troons probably booted up CE the moment they opened the DLC on launch day and then they dropped themselves everything and activated all graces for invasion.I don't think any of these have ever played the game other than using the bloody finger.
^owned
>>489333153Magma Wyrm is fantastic, but it suffers the same problem Ulcerated Tree Spirit in that it was used more than once.
>found sellens real body and got her primal glintstone>remembered this doll>brought the primal glintstone to this empty dollNo option to give it the primal glintstone. Is this not what I'm meant to do? It says to bring it to a body so I can revive Sellen. Am I retarded? I was so certain this is what I had to do.
>>489333546It's so fun sabotaging people from the cliffside.
Messmer's flame projectiles are retarded. They track may too much and I'm almost certain their hitboxes are way bigger than they should be.
>giga turbo poise break>giga turbo stagger capability>giga turbo hyperarmor>one of the hardest hitting weapon arts>scale into DEX/FTHSo?
>>489337864All the weapons should've been a static loot from across the overworld. Replace most useless shit with them and armor pieces. The game would improve tenfold.
>>489338394dex weapon with 20 faith tax.20 faith just to use the only huge sword that works for dex.
>>489338394How does it cut with no blade?
>>489338276>Is this not what I'm meant to do?depends on what sellen needs you to do at the moment
>>489338276Talk to Jerren and then return to Witchbane Ruins
>>489335671Go 45 arc (soft cap), 50~60 dex, spend the rest as you find comfortablevery cool weapon, not the strongest, but very fun and flashy
>>489338394>one of the hardest hitting weapon artsunless they have severly buffed it since launch, then it just does pretty mediocre damage with it's weapon arts in comparison to the war crime levels of damage some other stuff can do
just beat it. not at all a lore nerd(i read item descriptions but that's it, i will never watch a youtube video telling me a game's story) so i don't really care about radahn not being hinted at over godfrey or whatever, but it's still a bad last boss. both disappointing for reusing him, uninteresting as a fight, and also lame because between miquella and whatever they were doing with radahn/mohg, i expected there to be multiple bosses left.some alternatives that would have been good:the revival ritual isn't finished yet so miquella alone is the last boss, there's an incomplete fusion of radahn and mohg as a secret boss at the end of the euporia path. mohg was the best boss in the main game so including more of him to the fight would be better than the "radahn but with holy lasers" we got.last boss is friede again. miquella phase 1 before the ritual is complete, ritual completes and it's miquella + radahn (or just radahn) in phase 2. in phase 3 miquella, having discarded his emotions, has no way to process the loss of his consort and he goes full anime like friede.drop the radahn subplot entirely. dane leads the gank squad and leda is miquella's consort and the last boss.also unrelated but fuck from for giving godskin enjoyers nothing in the dlc.
>>489338908>last boss is friede againno, pontiff actually lmao
>>489338712Thanks anon.>Most dangerous mage in the entire Raya Lucaria historyThat's pretty neat.
>>489338908>reuses base game bosses>NO godskins because fuck YOU
>gravity pull into gravity rocks into instant teleport slashes into instant 6 hit aoe combowhat the actual fuck is this shit? This isn't fun man. I can't even get a heal off without leaving myself wide open for a death combo that lasts 15 seconds
>>489338908>fuck from for giving godskin enjoyers nothing in the dlc.yeah lets reuse the literal most reused boss in the base game for more ""content""!!
>>489334237starlight, unseen form, terra magica, the blackhole spell that SUCCS other spells in
>>489339339i didn't say they should make us fight the two already existing godskin enemies again, that's all in your imagination. but also, dragons.
>>489339339>yeah lets reuse the literal most reused boss in the base game for more ""content""!!
>>489338276I still have no idea jerren's beef with sellen, isn't she's just following azur and lusat's footsteps
>>489339629>>yeah lets reuse the literal most reused boss in the base game for more ""content""!!
>>489339629there's only 4 actual bosses of the spirit, while the godskins have 4 appearances with a boss health bar EACH
>>489339756God's work
>>489338727is that a build that's good at nothing?
>>489340241>white mask bullgoat
>>489340241what a stupid build
>>489339319Yeah its rough, I think he's overtuned, not because of the damage or overall moveset but because they didn't really think about which attacks make sense where. Some attacks shouldn't be allowed after others, some attacks shouldn't occur at close range. Cross slash attack should never be allowed.
>>489340241Alexander's Shard is probably more important than the 2h talisman for Morgott's sword.The L2 is the main draw of the weapon.
>>489335671It's primarily a dex weapon with an arc requirement, same as Rivers of Blood, Eleonora's Poleblade, and Obsidian Lamina. You use it on dex/arc builds.
>>489338394
>>489339319>>489340410Isshin was FIVE years ago something has clearly gone wrong at FromSoftware
My ps5 controller doesn't charge when I plug it into my pc. I can't play Elden Ring. Life is pain.
I want to try invading in seamless, my first idea was to remake my rl81 +17 dex invader from year one of the gameis it an active level range or should I go higher? I know that you get matched with the highest level among the hosts
>>489340657is that shia labeouf?
>>489340785Try doing a factory reset on your controller. That fixed a similar issue I had.
>Malenia somehow falls wrong on the floor and resets to standing, denying me my punishThis happens way too often
>>489340854Yes, it is.
>>489340410I just had him do gravity pull, into teleport slash, with an instantaneous AOE gravity rocks follow up on top of me. Since AOE gravity rocks is an impossible to avoid at point blank range it killed me. And since he started AOE gravity rocks as a follow up to the teleport slashes, he was automatically at point blank range. Literally unavoidable damage.
>Milicent invaded me before i met her in my head canon i cut off her rotting arm
>>489341218Yeah I haven't found a way to avoid some damage. If you miss the gravity pull roll in phase 2 you just have to run away and pray, you usually take some damage from the final AOE. I have only seen this chain every time in P2:>gravity pull (you failed the dodge)>AOE smash>teleport smash>AOE smashJust start running away from the gravity pull, you avoid the first AOE smash, the clones but you get tagged with the second smash but hopefully you can survive that damage.
>>489341218>its unavoidable bad rng aieeeeeSkill. Issue.
>>489341447huh, never noticed that. neat.i imagine invasions are like remembrances (le flow of time is convoluted) which is why dung eater is red in the roundtable hold and doesn't recognize you in the jail and why vyke is in the church
I think the Radahn fight would have been way better if the second phase was a bit harder BUT everything did less damage. The second phase really needs more time for the player to understand how to dodge the attacks but if you fuck up everything snowballs and you die extremely fast. The light show also makes it really hard to see what the fuck to dodge.
>>489342347I look like this btw
>>489341843dung eater is actually deepest lore
uh oh..
>>489342549i can't be bothered to upload 2 other pictures artist is @gu599
Is Rellana twin moons any good?

>>489342826retard
The second belurat grace shouldn't exist. There should only be the elevator grace and the boss fog grace.
>>489343020Yeah, but the L2 is a big part of why the weapon is good.Personally I'd just drop the Bullgoat Talisman and use both.
>>489343174he can succ my ubus
>>489335705remember when vaati made a 40+ minute video about this one image and then it turned out that literally nothing except "realm of death" was remotely remotely relevant
>>489343238A big argument against two handing morgott's sword on high levels is ansbach's furious bladeIt gives you insane mixups together with CGS moveset
>>489333153Wyrms and Ancient Dragons have way too much fucking HP for being field bosses. They have like 4 whole moves and the rest is just slowly chunking away at their huge resists and HP pools. Absolute cancer to fight more than once and they used them both like 6 times

>>489345184Because elden ring undeniably has mixups and it's not a term specific to fighting games for quite a long while now
I've got absolutely no answer for Consort Radahn right now. 2nd phase combos are ludicrously long and dangerous. If he decides to AOE holy bomb when you are drinking, that's a guaranteed hit. If he decides to AOE rocks on top of you, that's a guaranteed hit. 3 slash combo? Guaranteed hit. Hit by any of those? Good luck healing because he'll just start another combo directly after hitting you. Bad boss. Not fun. Do not feel I should have to respec to counter one boss in the game when respecs are inherently limited and I melted everything else
>>489345437>I've got absolutely no answer for Consort Radahn right nowparry
>>489345359Nobody has even mentioned fighting games until somebody else did, quoting the same post as you. The post you quote has no mention of any fighting games whatsoever.

What's the deep lore on the Tarnished's original maiden. You know, the one we find dead at the beginning of the game. You didn't forget about her right? She loved you.

>>489346126Yeah but who is she. What's her favorite food? What's her blood type? Would she have married us after we beat the game?
>>489345437Just cheese him. It's an abject failure of a boss.
>Get bored of my build after a week of respeccing What am I supposed to do to keep things fresh? I do high level invasions now, but almost nothing is actually effective against gank squads. Has anyone found new fun in completely starting over from RL1?
>>489346219It doesn't matter. She is like Died Mahn from the Ace Attorney series: a character who only exists to be a corpse.
>>489346186I was simply curious as to why somebody who makes fun of somebody for using "mixups" as an elden ring pvp term, is as bad as people who wants the game to be a fighting game, and here you are going off on me despite not having posted a single picture in the entire general.
>>489334272Uhhhhh anyone?
>>489335705Big butts seem to run in the family
>>489346342It does matter. She loved us and we should resurrect her. She's the true waifu we all forgot.
>>489345992She's cute.

What does Marika smell like?
>>489347008
>>489347085Nothing, she is a fictional character in a video game. She does not even have a real human model in the game either.
>>489347008Golden Order Greatsword, you get it from the Cave of the Forlorn in the snowfields.
>>489347085Glory.
>>489347231Yeah but what's in her perfume bottle?
>>489347085Like the freshest marigold flowers
>>489347212This is why you're a genetic dead end
>>489347382Her own sweat since the natural odor of her perfect body is better than any perfume out there.
>>489347451Brother, I'm not the one trying to pretend what a fictional character smells like. I may be a genetic dead end in many aspects of my life, but this ain't one of them.
Any easy ways of giving a new character specific items?I wanna start the game with the fire knight greatsword.
Some of the Marika statues you come across are really small? Was this bitch like 4'9 or something
Is the Dark Moon Greatsword still a powerful weapon post-DLC?
>>489346914less a dex build and more of a "use whatever the hell you can with your limited stats" build...
>>489347623the dark moon greatsword wasn't a powerful weapon pre-dlc, and certainly not post-dlc.
>>489347623yes, you just can't sit halfway across the room and stance break everything anymore
Why does Moore exist? Gowry serves the exact same purpose narratively. Why not have a Cleanrot Knight or Malenia's never before mentioned bff as her rep instead which would make infinitely more sense then a bug Miquella is trying to get rid of? Also taken without context it's like the writers are trying to make us feel bad for Moore and resent Malenia when she has every right to tell the pests to fuck off
13 years later and DS1 still has the best dragon form. But ER's isn't all bad, it's a step up from 3 at least
>>489347606Cheat Engine

>>489346247Make a RL1 invasion character with DLC shit. Getting to DLC legit on level 1 is fun as fuck. Gaining things like divine beast head to have 19 19 str dex on level 1 is even funnier.
>>489347984>it's like the writers are trying to make us feel badthere you have the reason. it's from soft, they have the writing capability equivalent to that of a torture porn director
>>489348336>overcommit, get punishedwooooow
>>489347452I was trying for the whole "yeah but what's in your pants" "conquest" thing
>>489347984Malenia is bad for rejecting her godhood because her worshippers feel bad but she would also be bad if she pursued godhood because as Miquella shows it makes you le evil.there's no winning here and there's no thematic significance, Miyazaki just wants everything to be shit all the time because he can't write
>>489347085The sweetest honey
>>489347984A Cleanrot Knight NPC who talks a lot about Malenia, the war, and her relationship with Miquella would have solved 60-70% of the DLC's writing problems unironically.
>>489348206Moore's sole purpose is to tell you that Malenia abandoned the kindred which we learn in the base game. Gowry has his whole quest, but if you ally with Millicent he dies lamenting how Malenia hated the kindred and abandoned them.
>>489348826This, people seethe about Godwyn but it its genuinely unforgivable that Malenia is never mentioned by name. St. Trina would be the perfect candidate to talk about her being Miquella's love and Malenia (supposedly) being the person Miquella loved the most but she says nothing but "godhood bad kill Miquella"
>>489348752So Nepheli, Millicent, Kenneth Haight, Alexander, Diallos, and the Jar-Bairn were written by different writers than Miyazaki? I heard they can get varying degrees of happy ending.
If Radahn is supposed to be the son of Radagon and Renallab why does she look like a nigger
>>489348079For pure dex nobles has the longest reach while the standard estoc has the best damage. If you're planning on two handing I reccomend the nobles estoc, otherwise standard is probably best.
If Miyazaki wanted me to empathize with the rottards, maybe he shouldn't have made their manifestation in the world an ugly ass cancer disfiguring rotting disease that gives you super poison and everyone obsessed with it a weird looking cockroach that make skitish sounds.
FROM should drop their decrepit engine and just move to UE5.
>>489349295SO much fucking shit we've been saddled with for an entire game series would be solved if they'd just fucking change game engines.
>>489347617She literally 9ft tall, she would toss the tarnished around like a doll like Malenia does
"Be sad forever" being a dialogue option followed by an NPC dying of concentrated sadness is one of the many moments in the DLC that felt like deliberate trolling of the audience, along with Rellana's existence, the "be my consort" trailer fakeout, morr Ulcerated Tree Sentinel, and a reskinned Tree Sentinel that doesn't even have unique music being a Remembrance boss.
I really do hate Miyazaki for intentionally taking things out of the lore to obfuscate it. Fuck him. I'd slap him in the cock if I met him.
>>489349295do you want even more bugsthey barely make a game work with decades of experience with it and now you want em to switch to a whole ass new engine?
>>489349295>just move to stuttergarbageno
>>489349081>Millicent>Diallos>happy endingDid you play a different game?
>>489347984I think Freyja gets it pretty bad too since her "quest" is just some dialogue. She's in all the promo material and yet, doesn't do jack or shit
>>489349084Heavy tan from years of combat training in the nude
>>489349295They likely either don't know how to in time or can't afford the Epic cut past the initial million on top of the Valve/Sony/Microsoft cut
Fuck this nigger. Not fun. 0/10.
>>489349481I'd rather FROM not go down the same road Bethesda did. Bite the bullet now and swap engines, or pay the price down the line.
>>489349045Trina also feels like a last second inclusion. She's literally just in a cave with four lines and that's it. She doesn't even have any animations, dialogue options, relevant exposition, tied spells or mobs (the Putrescent Knight is a repurposed GEQ Knight model according to the file names).
>>489345992Would.>>489346565Agree.
>>489349501Dantelion is THE stuttering engine anon it can't even sequence multiple LoDs+shaders in somewhere like Liurnia or Shadow Keep base without shitting itself. Stock Unreal would literally just be an improvement by the fact it can actually just load things properly.
>>489349295Nah they better pick something else. All UE5 games have this vibe that something is off, like shlomo shekelberg is staring at you counting his esg points behind the monitor.

Is there a mod that replaces Radahn and Miquella's victory message with "FAGS SLAIN" instead of "GOD SLAIN" yet
>>489348185no way...(still no sellen)
What STR/DEX stat distribution and infusion would be "optimal" if i want to use only realistic equipment? No anime-retard weapons or magic. Only stuff like longsword, mace, spear, you get it.I want to target RL125-RL200 for random boss co-op.Heavy seems like the best choice, but some weapons lose like 20% AR at the second softcap, so i don't know if i should go with Quality or Keen instead.

>>489350451UE5 is still relatively new, so there's not as much documentation or devs experienced with it. Every UE goes through this cycle, and if history is any indication it would pay off in the long run to switch now. UE4 started off just as rough, but Lies of P looks, runs and plays better than ER despite being from a much smaller studio. And its in good part because they're using better tech.
>>489352121Lies of P looks worse than Bloodborne, runs worse than Elden Ring, and is as clunky as og Demon's Souls.
I think I'm cooking up some movementkino.
I've honed my sword in the arena, I will now embark on a quest to help others fight through the dlc as a proud noble with knightly blood. Wish me luck anons.
some of you want to play an ubisoft game so bad
What's a good spell buff calculator website that's up to date with the DLC? The one I usually use isn't up to date.
I believe the dlc was going to be about Godwyn until From saw people had figured that out, especially the Zanzibart meme that had Miquella on Godwyn’s back.
>>489350871I don't think it's a bad overworld but it's way too big. Mountaintops of the giants is the perfect example, you could cut off 50% of the map and nothing of value would be lost.
>>489350687Full arcane occult build and use flamberge or katana/great katanas. Or do a str/arc or dex/arc hybrid for bleed infused weapons, arc to 45 then pump the damage stat.DLC boss co-op health inflation is insane, status is almost mandatory.
Shit.Who should I side with? I wanted Jerrens armor so I'm assuming I'd get it if I killed him with Sellen, but then Sellen started saying shit like "expelling the Carian royal family" probably talking about Renalla who's my mother-in-law...
>>489353280Built for a competent father figure.
>>489353429Liurnia too, there's literally nothing and all the caves are so bad
>>489352753thats some nice movement, anon
>>489353616Sellen gives you an INT dagger and you get Jerren's set plus she sells you some other spell, Jerren gives you an ancient dragon stone AFAIK.>>489353737Thank you.
>>489353616She'll just move her off behind a bookcase, there's no regicide
>>489353616whoever you chose, Sellen loses
>>489351328>download CE>add everything I want for the build at the start>kill tree sentinel and then tab out and never play the character again
schizo lore observationin Dark Souls 3 when you give the Painter the Dark Pigment, she says something like "it will be a very cold and gentle place". In Elden Ring, both Ranni and Miquella talk about their ages lasting 1,000 years, with Ranni having a COLD moon and Miquella's age being one of compassion. How's that for the Souls Cinematic Universe???
>>489353616Sellen. Only reason to side with Jerren is if you really want that stone
>>489353869Sellen wanted to get balled
Consort is the best final boss in from history solely because it made loreniggers shit and piss themselves malding about it
>>489353970In dark souls 1 the jars at the beginning are full of poop and elden ring is poop, so elden ring is actually a dark souls turd.
>>489353123I think Death in general had more upfront importance in the DLC at one point.I remember when the SOTE trailer came out and people thought the Scadutree was Deathblight related because it was a black and gold tree, just like the Deathblight status.And then you have the Putrescent Knight originally being intended to be tied to GEQ so that would cover that side of the Death stuff.
>>489353970>elden ring 2>Player teams up with Ranni, Godwyn, Velka and Flame God Flan to kill Super God and restart the universe
Final DLC Death Count:Dancing Lion: 2 deathsRellana: 0 deathsPutrescent Knight: 0 deathsMessmer the Impaler: 1 deathGaius: 0 deathsScadutree Avatar: 0 deathsMetyr, Mother Of Fingers: 0 deathsRomina, Saint Of The Bud: 0 deathsMidra, Lord Of Frenzied Flame: 0 deathsBayle The Dread: 0 deathsPromised Consort Radahn: 20-30 deaths (lost count)Maybe Radahn is just bad boss design?

>>489354956Miyazaki is a mentally ill autist. He can't help it.
>>489354964They are retarded and usually whores.
After 100%ing the game, there is 0 reason to ever play eldenroll again. Thank god. AC6 was miles better.
>>489354956It's the brand or something (Lazy devs)
>>489354956It's no different to this guys quest.You help him get back into the academy and he just dies.Would it be so bad to have him get back in to the academy and just chill out in this chair studying?All you need is for him to have 1 line just saying "Thanks for letting me back in, I'm gonna study shit now thanks tarnished bro"
>>489355113t. they sleep with everyone who isn't you
>>489353123Unfortunately Radahn and Miquella have always been engaged and are now happily married forever
I found out that great katanas are amazing against fire knights. just two hand it then spam the running light attack and the follow up thrust.
>>489354956Mayonese-san's writers think the plot is mature when everyone dies at the end
Anyone else think the music tracks in ER are bland. The boss music can be pretty decent, but almost all the non-boss music is forgettable.
>>489354951>not Golden Vow + Flame Grant Me Strengthokay retard
>>489354956Partially laziness partially trolling
>>489354956sad... forever?
>>489353616Side within Sellen gives you>Glintstone Kris>Shard Spiral>Access to Lusat's and Azur's sets>Jerren's setSiding with Jerren gives you>Ancient Dragon Smithing StoneSellen undoubtedly gives better rewards but they only matter if you're doing an int build. I always side with Jerren otherwise just because he's a bro and he's one of the few friendly NPCs that actually survives past the end of their questline.
>>489347984I'd argue that Moore and the friendly foragers definitely made me sympathize with those bugs and their abandonment infinitely more than the aggressive pests tormenting me or sage gowry serving nothing but gross old creep vibes
>>489355549I would say that music was never that important, but I'd be lying. Music can really elevate a game. I think ER has a weaker track in general than BB and Dark Souls 2/3. Compare the Roundtable Hold theme to Majula for example. Lies of P also had a great soundtrack:https://youtu.be/nB-93gQZUNY
>>489355618FGMS is a shit spell for the average player and I'm tired of pretending otherwise
I'm tempted to make a poiseblob with 60 VIG at level 80 and just minimum requirements to wield weapons just to see how much of a meme scaling is at this level.
>get summoned as a blue>just watch the overleveled phantom and the host get murderedThis red was really polite.
>>489355791Sellen can survive so long as you don't tell her where the bodies are.
>>489352753wtf i was told you can't strafe any bosses in the DLCwtf... wtf!
Is Urumi a fun weapon
>>489355549The only boss I remember the music track is the Elden Beast, the rest are just generic orchestra to me
>>489356038DS1 has the best soundtrack still. Sakuraba just "got it" while Kitamura kept trying to compensate each successive track until she seemingly just quit.
>>489356304Yeah.It also got a pretty big boost with the DLC.Just stack the 2h talisman and Shriek of Sorrow and the charged R2 starts hitting like a truck.
the music being bland generic orchestra slop is actually a touch of genius design as it is indicative and emblematic of the thematic motif that Elden Ring presents about itself which is that is is the fast food equivalent to their older games
>>489356304PVP? Sure. PVE? It's a whip, so... you know.
>no red wolf sword>no finger paralyzing spell>no crucible quadruped>no ping pong cluster death projectileWhatever, still 9/10 game
>>489354956In his quest to write Berserk fanfiction, Miyazaki has forgotten that the glimmers of hope (and an unquenchable rage) are the reason the struggle continues. Oddly enough, it feels like DaS2 was the only one of these games where things feel hopeful in any way. It's like he just wants to push you into the cringelord reddit nihilist endings every single time.
>>489356449Dark Souls 1 and Demon Souls feel pretty cheap in comparison. Lots of simple percussion and one man or woman wailing. I always wondered what sound of music tracks Sakuraba would produce with more budget.
I can't beat radahn with this setup.He nukes me completely.Is there anything I can do even better?I have all the skibidi fragments.
>>489356556Ironic shitposting is still shitpostingFuck off
>>489356641Can you dodge roll?
Fighting Consort Radahn and Malenia back to back was a bad idea
>>489355075Open-world was a mistake.We will return to tradition. Return to interconnected levels.
>>489355549I turn off music when not fighting a boss, it is a huge improvement, you should try it.
>>489356768Melania is way too hard, she can't be shield poked.
>>489356630DS1 was already plentiful. It's about balancing anon. More is paradoxically often just less overall.
>>489356641Soreseal stops being worth it at ~36-37 VIG. Besides that the best strategy is to get a thrusting sword and try you best to stay at his left so you can avoid the double slash. Which attacks are giving you most trouble?
>>489356556Now you're thinking like a redditor.
>>489356629The Ringed City had a very hopeful ending all things considered, Gael basically saved the day
>>489356629End of Fire feels hopeful. "Tiny flames will flicker across the darkness" and all that.
>>489355549Bloodborne had the best soundtrack.
>>489356641theres nothing this retard gives thats pvp relevanti dont understand what your deal is
>>489355549I agree; the only memorable non-boss song is the merchant's lute melody in the Frenzied Flame proscriptionhttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=M62pYatbyHo

>>489357609seriously garbage at +6 where I'll stop?
>>489352753You're telling me I gotta play unlocked like Dragon's Dogma?
>>489350262At 200 you can do something like thisMorgott's, obsidian lamina, bleed milady, reduvia, sleep ripple
>>489358042It gives you more control over your movement. It's also hard as balls to pull off.
I honestly don't remember any souls game's music aside from Biggie & Small's theme, Artorias's theme and Gwyn's theme.
>>489350262>>489358083absolutely atrocious stat distribution
>>489352753Are you using action repeat at the end?
>>489357927they have a horrible moveset, horrible requirements and the l2 damage scales with intyoure not very smart are you?
>>489352753Uhhh you guys usually play locked on? The camera is fucking terrible lmao. I play with a controller and I still don’t lock on unless I’m using ranges stuff a lot… Wut?

>>489355075That's not true at all, at least in Odyssey.Plus Odyssey had the major benefit of getting to explore a Mythology-ized version of ancient Greece which was fucking awesome

The entire thing is a glorified fetch quest, specifically involving much more interesting sorcerers than Sellen who literally do nothing.Then there's like three back and forths, and all of a sudden this bitch has access to the Carian inner chambers. Jerren, who has never once mentioned a SPIT of dialogue about Caria (only off handedly mentioned by Iji) thinks this retard broad is somehow Carias biggest threat. Not the giant dragons, not the demigods, not Ranni. This dumb fuck who literally "IM PICKLE RICK"s herself. And the culmination of the questline is this invasion thing that is completely ass backwards in terms of rewards.Fucking miyazaki.

>>489358083>>489358565NTA but the stat distribution looks good to me. Only question I have is why use the Crimson Amber talisman instead of a damage resist one like Dragoncrest Greatshield?

>>489359097Filling an entire world with cool and useful things is a very tall order.
>>489359967yes, gravel stone seal
You can't just post Artoria and try to pass it off as Leda
I don't even know why I keep goingI dont even use the mods to have free mats so I farm for Preserving Boluses and pots like a retard
>>489356807I don't know why is a chore to explore in elden ring but I enjoy every bit of walking I do in skyrim
>>489360049oh yeah, gravel stone is dragon stuff
>>489359957the GW is a star and the heavier stars become black holes when they diethat's why the GW stopped communicating with Metyr. it just reached the end of its lifecycle
i think it would be cool if getting charmed by Miquella played an alternate ending before respawning back at grace, so people would still get some sort of miquella related ending. Kinda like accepting the Dragon's bargaing in Dragons dogma
>>489360258because there's nothing to do in ER except combat
>>489360379Why is the greater will's sin creating all life according to the frenzied flame, how is a black hole capable to that?
>>489360258because Skyrim is a first person game and unlike Elden Ring, Skyrim is an actual RPG
>>489359490I can't get over this. Messmer is retarded and no amount of homo fanboying will change that. >has a massive, loyal army that is insanely strong, deadly, and doesn't need Grace in order to absolutely shitcan a huge region of dangerous hornsent>They all wield fire, the antithesis to the erd tree>Messmer himself is one of the top demigods, still in his best fighting shape compared to the others who are all shells>Has a massive storehouse full of information on likely all manner of subjects>Instead of doing LITERALLY ANYTHING: returning to TLB, getting a hold of Michael, trying to become a god himself, creating a new kingdom: he sits on his fucking ass>the justification for this is 'he's so sad ):'Negro give me a fucking break. Every single demigod, EVERY single one has been shown to be ambitious and opportunistic but of course this fucking dude isn't because of a dogshit plot reason FUCK. Gay ass dlc.
>>489360418should have been a choice like gehrman but theyre too lazy and too many rewrites
>>489360519>big bang>become star>get old>become blackhole>get real dense>big bang
>>489356730never, shitposting is eternal
>>489359917Dragoncrest is massively nerfed in pvp. Feel free to swap out if you do pve. Although with the amount of spell bullshit flying around DLC i'm not sure dragoncrest is even good.
>>489360519>how is a black hole capable to that?It created life when it was still a star, not when it collapsed into a black hole.In a less literal sense, life on earth wouldn't exist without a star (the sun).Contrary to popular belief the Greater Will is not the origin of everything that exists (that's the One Great, akin to the big bang).The Great Will is just responsible for turning that energy (originating from the One Great) into life.
>>489360589also his voice actor speaks into an absolutely blown-the-fuck-out microphone and it annoys me a great deal that this wasn't caught in pre-production
They're very cute.
>>489361156Probably yet another last minute addition. The voice actor for Messmer in the trailer was a different guy.
>>489361228
>>489360005there's 3 games full of items that were not included in er even though some were would rather get some random ds2 armor than my millionth mushroom after doing some random platforming to reach a corpse with a shiny thing
I think if you removed the post-slash AOEs on most of his regular attacks, Radahn's second phase would be decent to fight. I'd honestly rather if they just gave him a 25% speed boost to all of his actions than those shitty light AOEs.
>>489360258Really? I find exploration in Skyrim to be very boring. Leveled loot, aggressive copy-pasting (more so than Elden Ring), lack of enemy variety (all melee enemies, from bandits to sabertigers, have the same behavior), and purposefully bland writing makes it a real chore.
>>489361484Are you seriously implying they should have reused even more DaS1-3 assets?You may as well advocate for Souls games to become an annual thing like sports games at that point.
>>489361789beats looting crafting materials that i wi never use
>>489361938>this dogshit solution is better than this other dogshit solutionI hope the next game is a live service where loot refreshes ever season and new shit gets added with battle passes. Seems perfect for dipshits like you.
>>489355549The ambient tracks in the dlc are really good and the beginning of the Limgrave theme will forever be ingrained in my head
>>489352912I made it through tower settlement now on to the castle. It only took 10 minutes to get summoned but I'm worried it's going to get longer and longer with how spread out the summoning pools get.
I just got radahn to 10% while the host hid in the corner the whole fight, how do you find your recent played I wanna talk shit to the retard
>>489361789>You may as well advocate for Souls games to become an annual thing like sports games at that point.It kinda was at one point. If you count DLCs and re-releases, there was a release every year from 2011-2018 (2019 if you count Sekiro).
>Have a mechanic that allows players to avoid some of the damage done by grabs>>Every grab has a health value>>By mashing L1/L2, you can reduce this value>>When it hits 0, the player escapes>Implement unique animations for breaking or escaping many grabs>Set grab health far too high for the majority of these grabs, making escaping them impossible and these animations unusedWhy is FROM like this? Is there a lore explanation?
>>489360258Out of all soulsborne this is the weakest of them to replay for me, there are like what 4 intricately designed dungeons
>>489362492He didn't even spam spells/ranged or anything?
>>489360489Yeah, would have been nice to get a few more friendly towns and quests to do in them.
>>489361775Skyrim kind of sucks but as a walking simulator it is superior to Elden Ring and idk how anyone could deny that.
Does anyone have a guide on how to get glorious merchant or some other better way to get all the items but on steam deck? Don’t have access to a desktop… tired of all these low level invaders molesting me with great katanas.
>>489362894nope, way too far away for that
The nomad merchants deserved it.
>>489361775You're right on that but the walking through the open world doesn't really empty.
>>489363014Can you not use the save data from PC on a steam deck?
>>489363014make a shopping list and summon me Ill drop you some toys
>>489361938>beats looting crafting materials that i wi never useYour problem is that you want all the items to be potentially useful for your build which just isn't a reasonable thing to ask for in a rpg. People shit on the loot in the game being a ton of random shit but it is exactly because there is a ton of random shit that the game has so much build variety. Crafting mat pickups can be more useful than weapon pickups for builds that focus on that kind of stuff
>>489362738The explanation is:>u rike???
>>489355549I was just thinking this while running through the DLC again. All the music in the legacy dungeons and while exploring is just so boring desu

>>489363006Nah walking through Elden Ring's world actually feels like an epic adventure, walking through skyrim just feels like walking through copy pasted slop.

>>489364984Well shit nigga, the post ends there
>>489363163>>489363006>>489360258If we're going to use an example of a really good open world, you could look at Enderal. Tons of variety in biomes, high density of points of interests, unique locations and dungeons (with the main quest dungeons being the standouts), an unleveled world that will kick your ass if you go off the beaten path and are not prepared, and interesting writing. It still suffers with many of Skyrim's core flaws though, but it's a much better game overall.
>>489359489You can see the stone platforms circling around the edge of the cliff on the map, anon.
>>489365018The lands between isn't a "real world", it's an esoteric pseudo reality "dream state" kinda shit which is why its all made of senseless geographyIt's the kind of "world" that Monolith would make a Xeno game and make it be on the left thigh of a titanic eldritch horror pseudogod

Who smells worse (better)?
>>489365879It feels really jarring to see a suitably sized throne made of wood in a game where everything is massively oversized and made of stone.
>>489339191Renallabros??? He's wrong, right?
>>489366310It's less about power and more about breaking the rules.
>>489366272only suitably sized because of how large and in charge I am
>>489364284>Fun Bosses:>Bayle>Mohg>Not fun>Black Knife Assassin (invisible)>Lorettawrong
>>489366846Bayle and Mohg are both hard but fair, don't confuse the two you shitter
>>489364284>gaius>funtroll list
>>489366207Malenia smells 100% worseRomina has beautiful, pore-free skin and her centipede and scorpion halves are shiny and clean. She smells flowery and fragrant, if a bit earthy because... giant insects.Malenia's BO and rot can be smelled LONG before you see her. She never fucking bathes. Ever,
>>489367151God thats hot
Miliscent smells so strong she has visual effects so Malenia has to smell worse
>>489367151What does scarlet rot smells like? I feel like they both smell bad.
>>489367050are both boring because they fly across the room doing spectacle attacks, mohg double gay cause he leaves diarhea trails on the floor
>>489367151>She never fucking bathes. EverReally? I'd imagine she'd be bathing all the time to retard the rot's growth. Her and her master's sword style makes a lot of allusions to flowing water as well.
Is the Ruins Greatsword good for anything other than clearing hordes of trash enemies? 16 int is quite the requirement for a strength build.
>>489367050Bayle has a ton of attacks where the the tells are so subtle as to be almost imperceptible. The camera is also shitting out, but that's nothing new for big and fast bosses.
>>489367474I imagine scarlet rot smells sickly sweet, like a pack of haribo gummy bears that have gone moldy.
>>489367474From how it develops into fungilike matter it can smell potentially like anything even rotting meat or sweet metallic like fungi IRL
I like that the DLC revealed that the outer gods have many machinations going on at once.>Romina as a willing embodiment of the rot>an entire race that worships the formless mother complete with the exact same rituals as Mohg>another agent of the frenzied flame, another failed lord plus the spine of yet another one>the hornsent were shaping the crucible to their religious interpretations long before the Erdtree existed
Has anyone tried to farm and cook this?it's pretty delicious looking.the crafting system in the dlc is really awesome, they seem to have fixed the way the open world works for powerups and consumables
>>489367839I just beat him yesterday and the camera didn't unlock once, even during his flying fire orb attack in phase 2 transition
>>489367839I agree with the camera, but Bayle's pretty decent I thought. There's so many opportunities to do a shitload of damage to his face.

>>489367474I like to think something like Caelid where the rot "consumes" smells actually rotten, but things that the rot "creates" (Malenia's flowers and butterflies, Romina's coherent animal aspects) smell sweet.
>>489368243it looks made of rock why would anybody wanna eat this
Alright I've beaten the game 5 times now and I'm starting to get bored. Give me ALL of your weaponfus and I will decide what to play with next
>>489368106I mean yeah, if your plan is to rule an entire planet you'll probably have a few backup plans so you don't just fuck off when your one guy loses to a retard strength tarnished.

Could any kindly intbros show me your general-purpose spell loadout for bosses? I'm up to Leyndell right now and I've tried various different combinations, but it seems that so far the best strategy has been to just use Greatblade Phalanx or Rock Sling from range, and just use my Magic Claymore in melee range. I'm more of a battlemage so I don't much focus on projectile spam.
>>489368458Why does literally no one ever use kick? It hard counters shieldfags.
>>489368458Never stop writing your greentexts anon, bless you.

>>489367096he's fine after they fixed his hitboxes
>>489369374fuck you
>>489369374
>>489369117Why is the frenzied flame even picky as fuck on its hosts.
>>489368740I heavily encourage making a theme for your wizard. It's all magic damage so the meta mindset will just leave you with muh glintstone pebble and rock sling. So, pick a school like Caria, Death or Gravity and roll with it, and fill the gaps with indispensable things that, probably, any sorcerer would acquire on their way of learning, such as the basic Raya Lucaria stuff (like Terra Magica and the Gavel).
>>489369181fascinating how you listed almost all the most gimmicky tedious bosses in the game right here, top tier troll list

There was no time to repurpose anything at any point>people thought the Scadutree was Deathblight related because it was a black and gold treeNo, it was amber like it is now and like the Scadutree in the original promotional art is>And then you have the Putrescent Knight originally being intended to be tied to GEQIt's still tied to the GEQ, the GEQ made artificial lifeforms to serve her, and those lifeforms decay into Putrescence. The Putrescent Knight looks like silver exactly like mimic tears.
>>489368730the skibidi system is amazing once you realize that you can collect 41 without beating more than the dragonman.the consumables are so OP in the dlc>>489368640those slimes in jagged peak

>>489367474Probably vape juice lmao
>>489368640Cheat Engine
What was radagon's intent when he gave rennala an amber with a great rune in it?
>>489354285My only two complaints about the DLC story are the fact Radahn as the final boss is a character that was already heavily featured in the base game in both story and gameplay (unlike someone out of left field like Gael), and that there's basically nothing about the Scadutree, I'm still not fully sure what the fucking point of it is. The shaman village next door is much more significant.
>>489368763Because kick being stuck to an Ash fucking sucks. I have no idea why they didn't just keep it like normal.
>beat the game with Strength>beat the game with Strength/Faith>beat the game with Bleeddon't make me do dex/int...
>>489370196you'll deal 1.97x damage once you're done riding your horse.Its like you don't like exploration. I get you its ok. Its not fun when you don't know where they are
>>489368564shortbow only
>The Rakshasa samurai was a stronk womynx all alongJesus
>>489370461So just don't do it? You don't have to play the builds you don't want to.
>>489370397Because it fucking sucked to pull off and even more to accidentally do, just switch to nothing or put shield bash
>>489370397But it's not tied to an ash, it's the WA for holding nothing. Softswap, kick, softswap, crit. EZ
>>489370587What am I going to do, play the game the same style AGAIN? 80 hours of doing the same shit all over?
I have my own head canon about godwynHis soul didn't die his soul probably left the world as would be natural before the erdtree reincarnation thing.Destined death doesn't kill souls only the frenzied flame is capable of doing that.
>>489370397bro ur free weapon slot?
>>489370461>>beat the game with StrengthOkay so you did it with the greatsword and heavy fire infusion>>beat the game with Strength/FaithOkay so you did it with the greatsword and heavy sacred/flame infusion>>beat the game with BleedOkay so you did it with the greatsword and bleed infusion>don't make me do dex/int..ok
>>489370478>1.97x damageYeah because From padded out the DLC by not giving bosses normal HP and attack power. If people beat them too fast, they'd realise there was barely any actual fucking game in this video game expansion.
>>489370559I could have saved her.
>>489353123Get your meds>>489354285Schizo bullshit by salty losers mad their headcanon isn't true. Nothing in the DLC was cut
>>489370478You know what isn't fun? Getting to Radahn with 49 fragments, going station to station with a video guide and still ending up with 49 somehow after an hour
>>489365838I'm disappointed, I was expecting the peak of souls formula and I got more Elden Ring with all its highlights and flaws hyper condensed into a dlc. There's some high highs but some truly abysmal lows, still good overall but nowhere near as good as it was hyped to be or should've been. Also the whole DLC feels really unpolished and paced very strangely. Lorewise the Miquella plot is without a doubt the absolute worst shit they have ever written and it's not even close, if the finale of the game wasn't putrid shit I'd probably be a lot more favorable
>>489370682you can do other things, or are you that autistic?
>>489370559:)
>>489370397>free action that can guard break a maxed out greatshield with talisman buffs and shield greaseIn hindsight how do you even balance this?
>>489370810Wrong on all counts, would you like another go?
>>489370592>sucked to pull offIt was fucking simple as shit. There was no difficulty and it only happened accidentally if you're SHIT.
>>489370369>My only two complaints about the DLC story are the fact Radahn as the final boss is a character that was already heavily featured in the base game in both storyRadahn had no story beyond Sellia, the pivotal point of the marketing, the Battle of Aeonia, which represents the Shattering, was left completely unexplored until the DLC>and that there's basically nothing about the Scadutree, I'm still not fully sure what the fucking point of it is.Because you didn't pay attention.The Scadutree is where the souls of things without grace go since Marika established Gold and Shadow
>>489370930Taurus is the only winner here
>>489370870I've come to love my disappointment. For me, Elden Ring is more of a concept existing in my head than a game at this point.
>>489370810why would someone use a greatsword for a bleed build?
>>489371243what has happened twice has surely happened thrice (using the strength weapon)
>>489367050Bayle is the worst boss in Elden Ring
>>489371032It's meant to be like that though. It was slow enough in DS3 where if you saw them going for a kick you could reliably roll.It mainly only helped if you were fighting idiots who refuse to stop blocking. Also helped with parry spammers throwing out a kick on a parry which would drain 100% of there stamina allowing for 2-4 hits.It was such a fun mechanic to play around in PVP.It wasn't even OP either...
>>489370919There isn't a single game on the market or in my backlog I am interested in. Elden Ring is my only salvation
>>489370682I don't know, play dex/fth or pure int then. Even if you replayed str, it has so many weapons to pick from that you could have numerous completely different playstyles no matter what you choose. You could powerstance Blood-infused Beastman's Curved Swords and pretend you're a dex build.
>>489370930Omg xisters this is such a libra thing to post
>>489365838I expected more and ended up disappointed.
>>489370810>heavy fire infusion>heavy sacred/flame infusionpretty sure you can't double up on infusions there bud?
>>489371406yeah builds don't matter for those weapons that weigh less than 5 pounds. They can be used on any build>>489365838Because I played it and its over.The first time I was disappointed was when riding my horse over the finger ruins that HAD NOTHING in them
>>489370682play other games, elden ring isn't that good to begin with
>>489370738>>489370631>softswap against a guy with half a brain>he just stops blocking and spams R1>you've now just wasted time and ate several attacks>because of this you also can't have a light weapon in your offhand for BHS escapesIt's shit having to softswap just to perform a kick. It's a complete downgrade from DS3 in every way.
>>489370870>and flawsI can't believe I can't roll and attack bosses in neutral!!!
>>489371240>Elden Ring is more of a concept existing in my head than a game at this point.Sad but also terrifyingly accurate.
>>489365838I'm legitimately disappointed with the DLC but my criticism either get dismissed by slop eater cultists or shitposters who have no fucking idea of what the fuck they're talking about
>>489370870I wanted more Elden Ring and I got it, I'm only kinda upset about the final boss.I'm actually kinda lukewarm on all From DLCs because IMO all of them tread into unreasonable difficulty compared to their base game.
Snake with bedroom eyes.
>>489370870It all comes back to the open world not fitting the formula and only amplifying FromSoftware's inability to cleanly execute concepts and their unwillingness to acknowledge criticism
>>489365838Souls trilogy niggers mad then can't freely rollpoke through attacks with their "Guts" build and have an easy time.Also niggerfaggots like >>489371605 that wanted every piece of the area to be filled with boss repeats instead of the kino and massive improvement we got with more dense areas
What are you guys playing now the dust has settled, and the game is so dead that you can never get summoned for putrescent knight ever again?
>>489371958Nothing
>>489371958Elden Ring.
>>489370870>Lorewise the Miquella plot is without a doubt the absolute worst shit they have ever written and it's not even close, if the finale of the game wasn't putrid shit I'd probably be a lot more favorableWould the DLC have been better if it had been about actually working with Miquella like the trailers implied? Who'd have been the main antagonist then?
>>489371625I've done this a hundred times against shield pokers and it's always the same result, a riposte. Maybe you're just retarded?
>>489371958Actually I'm getting insane amounts of coop activity at level 200+
>>489371883>open world not fitting the formulaIt fits like a glove because of the actual narrative and enviromental direction and how the world is filled with dungeons compared to the usual open world with "open world missions">and only amplifying FromSoftware's inability to cleanly execute concepts and their unwillingness to acknowledge criticismIt's hilarious how the typical open world normie cattle is mad Leyndell isn't a b9ring bloated shitty hub town
How does seamless coop actually work? Can you get summons people to help you clear a boss better than the vanilla summon? I just wanna help put other beat the bosses.
>>489371605>yeah builds don't matter for those weapons that weigh less than 5 pounds. They can be used on any buildMy point was that STR has so much weapon variety that it even has an option for powerstanced curved swords (which are normally attributed to dex and arc), since beastman's curved sword scales best with STR.
>>489371958twow
>>489372169Literally anyone. No one ever saw the true DLC final bosses coming (Manus, Orphan, Gael), it's always a literal who and that was better than "here's this guy again".
>>489371945>wanted every piece of the area to be filled with boss repeats instead of the kino and massive improvement we got with more dense areasoh no how dare people have legitemate complaints about the DLC! You must DEFEND it at all costs!Fact is that Cerulean Coast, the Finger Ruins, Jagged Peak, Abyssal Woods, and Ancient Ruins of Rauh are all empty as fuck. That is over half the map with pretty much NOTHING in it. I don't know what the fuck you mean by "massive improvement" unless you mean nothing to do but ride your fucking horse around
>>489372170>anyone with half a brainThere's your issue.You're saying to soft swap and kick against the guy who's obviously a PVPer and has PVP'd for a substantial amount of time.I seriously doubt it would work against that guy which is the main target that you need to deal with, everyone else doesn't matter.
>>489372169>Who'd have been the main antagonist then?Messmer, with Metyr being the secret final boss whose been manipulating everything and who you could only fight by following some esoteric quest chain.
someone's mad replying to every criticism post, uh oh>>489372169>who'd have been the main antagonist then?i thought messmer with his fires would be an active threat searching and hunting you down over the map and the last boss being another space creature
>>489372187I'm at 150, should I go up to 170 so I can coop with 200?
>>489371240Honestly same. It feels so close to being an actual 10/10 like all the newfags and journalists claim but it really isn't. The lore is really interesting but only for a little bit before it just makes you go 'What?'I know a ton of people who played all the souls games and not a single one of them ever puts ER at the top. It's absolutely insane that Gwyn is still easily the best final boss in any of the games. (Havent played sekiro but hear isshin is good too). And by todays standards Gwyn would be like a moderately difficult regular ass NPC enemy in the wild. I know people meme about them just trying to make it hard instead of good now, but like damn son. Nobody thought DaS or BB was good BECAUSE it was hard.
>>489371958Despite being fundamentally and highly flawed Elden Ring is one of the few games worth playing in the current state of vidya. The writing is on the wall that GTA6 is going to ironically flop and finally crash the industry with it with even Rockstar already damage controlling.
>>489365278>It's the kind of "world" that Monolith would make a Xeno game and make it be on the left thigh of a titanic eldritch horror pseudogodThis is a funny comparison since i felt a HUGE Monolith energy out of Rauh in particularIt's literally something straight out of a Xenoblade game
>>489372169>Who'd have been the main antagonist then?A representative of the Dark Moon.
>>489372416Turns out Metyr is also some just depressed lonely fucker sitting in a hole doing nothing all day. GREAT WRITING
>>489372483Not that anon, but why not just make a backup of your save, move up to 170 or 200, or whatever, try it out for a day or 2 and then if you don't like it just revert the save?
does killing messmer lock me out of quests? i apparently fucked something up already by moving close to shadow keep
>>489372776because I don't do pvp but I like to stay at meta level anyway for activity
Talking about the scooby snacks, I would understand if there had been a macguffin roundup for a specific boss like Messmer the same way you collect giant souls to hurt Vendrick and ONLY Vendrick. There's nothing satisfying or interesting about having the option to tryhard at 0 blessings against completely inconsequential bosses. The way From did it is bafflingly idiotic, you don't even have to fight anything to collect most of the fragments, if this is supposed to be a second power curve like leveling up in the main game it failed because in the main game you collect runes by killing enemies as in you're actually playing and engaging with the main gameplay mechanic.
Finally home from the hospital I can play Elden Ring again
>>489372528>I know people meme about them just trying to make it hard instead of good now, but like damn son. Nobody thought DaS or BB was good BECAUSE it was hard.Gonna repost this cause this is the normie approach towards FROM now:>Reviewer:>>>If you're somebody who has been active in the FROMsoft and Souls community, then you're probably aware of how the DLC has received mix reviews where a big portion of the negativity has stemmed from players saying it's too difficult. I personally don't see it that way and actually welcome the difficulty because this is what these games are all about.>overlayed of a recording of his double flamberge bleed build summoning two phantoms, prebuffing, and then summoning the mimic when he crosses Rellana's fog wall
>>489370930>great katanas are cancerLittle on the nose innit?
>>489372776How does one make a backup of a save?
>>489372528Isshin is easily the best. Sekiro is also the best souls game.
>>489372657The hunters dream, ash lake, and the area summoned by elden beast are all the same location and I refuse to believe otherwise.
>>489372778Breaking the rune - aka getting too close to Shadow keep - aka exploring the fucking OPEN WORLD fucks up Moores quest, and Fortissax.That's the only world trigger.>>489372885I remember someone posting this. It's sad, really, because it feels like From has drank from their own koolaid too.
>>489372483I basically never stopped levelling until I finished the DLC and I finished at level 210 or so. Since then I've been chilling in co-op and it's been super lively since the weekend, it only slowed down today. It's been an okay mix of dungeons and bosses, clearly mostly people making themed runs through NG+x and only one single invader baiting duelfag.I always make it a point to give my character some immersion appeal, not xXxEldenSneed2009xXx, so that probably helps in getting summoned.
It does feel like shit when you choose to only use the latest dlc weapons, spells and shields but they don't fit your build so you have to rely on shit
>>489372979Ctrl C.Ctrl V.Saves are in the appdata roaming folder.Make sure you turn off Steamcloud. It can cause issues.
>>489372169>Would the DLC have been better if it had been about actually working with Miquella like the trailers implied?Yes. We need a counterbalance, an inverse element to Ranni. Than the unital ring will be complete. We'll have left and right hand closure.
I cant believe we got a whole "this guy is like one of the OG sorcerers he even taught the Carian princesses and shit he's been here since forever" character in the DLC and there's just zero information about the primeval current
>>489371635>immediately jumps to gitgudder slopMy main complaint is the emptiness of the map, reused enemies out the ass, and unrewarding exploration. With the appropriate amount of skibidi's (which is a bad system in itself just do normal level scaling) every boss but Radahn is totally fine.
What items pre-dlc are there are connects miquella and radahn? Pic related have some miquella and godwyn connection
>>489373049It would be absolutely based if all the space creatures were present across all the universes via meta magic
>>489373115>breaking the rune messes up the Fortissax questhuh?
>>489372340you're right for bleed but bandits is better on the fire infusion unfortunately
>>489373315>"this guy is like one of the OG and shit he's been here since forever" character in the DLC and there's just zero information about (anything else)thats all of them bro
>Post complaining about something related to game design, not combat>Immediate reply basically saying "you're just mad because the game was too hard for you" in different wordingsWhy is this so common? I've seen this exact interaction play out at least thrice a thread, every thread, every day for the past month or so
>>489373427Sorry Florissax. If you break the rune, Thiollier and Moore leave their original spots. So you can't get the syrup to get her spell and ash
>>489373595I would say they forgot Elden Ring is an adventure game, but on the other hand From seems to have forgotten it as well.
>>489372169Literally anyone would've been better and I do mean that without hyperbole.
y tho?
>>489373726Nah brah, after the rune breaks you go talk to them at their original spots and they say shit like "oh did you feel that? I'm going to go somewhere else" and you can still buy shit from them before they leave
The one thing the DLC did right was fleshing out Marika's background and giving us pretty much the whole reason she started the Golden Order and why she was so obsessed with removing death from the cycle of life.Probably the best character From has ever written, but maybe it could be because George wrote her instead of Hackazaki.Her being canonically a slut is hilarious yet somehow endearing
>>489373595Literal newfags to the series who mistakenly thought the 'git gud' memes were serious and never realized it was just a troll ass PVP thing
>>489373863I *think* that's only if you've actually progressed their quest. In my current run, this happened>meet Moore and the other guy at the Tower>talk to Thiollier once, he just says some nonsense>ran around, broke the rune>came back, both gone, hadnt even cleared the TowerOr there's some other trigger to but either way it bricked those things for me
>>489373792Her perfect baby godwyn got jumped
>>489355348He used his soul to create the spell. Basically some ash of war.
what do fire and lightning infusions even do?I'm looking at the damage charts and in many cases the fire infusion reduces strength scaling and the lightning infusion reduces dexterity scaling.Aren't these supposed to be str and dex? It looks more like they're flat like the standard infusion. They change basically NOTHING. Its like standard, fire and lightning are the way raw, fire and lightning were in ds3

Marika sucks misbegotten dicks behind the Leyndell palace.
>>489373315The primeval current is just the big bang.
gg ezShe utterly raped my face. I don't really feel like I beat her. It feels more like it was a stroke of luck rather than skill. I with the full fight was like her second phase.
>>489374241>sellen x seluvisIs there a cosmic rule saying every writefag erg gets has to have dogshit taste?
>>489357280he gatekeeps Ansbach's stuff tho
Are there level 100 hosts in the dlc?or is it too low? Honestly why do people have to level so much? Why isn't a perfect 100 okay?
>>489333153They're actually based self-actualizing sigmas who realized that wealth and mortal glory are ephemeral and instead dedicated themselves to a strict martial and dietary regimen for the sake of attaining superpowers by their own efforts rather than by erdtree handouts. Most other bosses look like lazy bums in comparison.
I'm thinking of raising my stats so I can use the Godslayer's Greatsword, even though I barely touched any big swords my whole playthrough, just so I have a weapon I can use my somber stones on. Is that a bad idea?
>>489374372>I with the full fightwish*

>>489374084It's alright, that questline is up there for the most pointless and convoluted in the entire game. You only missed out on an objectively worse version of Golden Vow and a shit Ash summon
>>489373115its fine if you didnt do your research you are supposed to be punished for it by missing out on content. this game isnt a walk in the park like the witcher 3 or other lame easy games. man up and git gud.
>>489357280ansbach's furious blade>>489374545everyone needs 15 faith as a melee build especially as a str build because all the clawmark spells require 15 or lower faith and the clawmark seal is best for str.So get 15 faith to start and make up the remainder with a talisman or grafted blade greatsword L2 buff. Just to try the sword
>>489333349I only fought one Apostle so far (the one at the bottom of the Caelid Divine Tower) and I confess that I didn't do it fairly. I mixed up posture damage with a club and bleed procs with a knife while Latenna +7 opened fire from the door.
>>489374854>I mixed up posture damage with a club and bleed procs with a knife while Latenna +7 opened fire from the door.looks like a regular strat to me
>>489374454having 60 vigor doesn't leave a whole lot left if you're only level 100. Even defeating Mohg is 80-120

>>489374805...unless you aren't using clawmark spells as a melee build?
>>489375220you're not gonna use buffs either?
>>489374594You forgot that she must have realized at some point that she got scammed by the fingers, likely when she was trying to delve deeper in understanding the Golden OrderPeople try to parallel Miquella and Marika's stories but Marika's is 100 times more compelling and emotional than what they tried to do with Miquella which is insane considering how tragic and emotional his base game lore was before the DLC butchered it
>>489373115Anon is complaining about a staple fromsoft model like he stumbled upon it for the first time in his life. What?
>>489375092did that caster have 800 hp? lol
So what now? Just pump vig to 60 like everyone else does?I don't really feel like I need more right now, though.

>Man I'm starting to get tired of FromSoft always doing X in their games every time, it's becoming really repetit->"Lmao what is this your first time encountering X? Baby's first FromSoft game huh?"
>>489371635>can't attack bosses in neutralYes. Fuck this shit. I want more opportunities to be proactive, instead of being too afraid to attack first or sneak in a quick poke while the boss isn't actively doing anything, because they can input read me at any moment and retaliate immediately. It's not "neutral" if I'm playing on the back foot from the moment I enter the arena.
>>489375621only thing bad is failing moores quest because you lose cookbooks. The other things are pretty much unimportant. Just buy everything from thollier.They punish you for giving NPCs the syrup and the iris of grace. They reward you for taking away all the hope by giving them the iris of occultation and not giving the syrup

>>489375621I miss godskinposting
>>489372393It's not legitinste criticism, it's retardation>le emptyWrong, but you won't stop down to fight fillers. It builds actual scale/scope using faster mobility to cruch space, but also create an interesting and and more dense world design in other parts, made of interwoven vertical structures and hidden dungeons.
>>489375614if you're going to level faith at all, 15 is a good stopping point though before going further>>489375420HOLY SHIT STOP LEVELING. rEVERT A SAVEGAME TO WHEN YOU HAD 175 OR SOMETHING.
>>489375751You’re supposed to be on your backgeet the whole time. Your character is purposefully clumsy and bad at fighting while his enemies are legends out of myth. It’s like a regular Joe Schmo trying to beat up Hercules.
>>489375852You're complaining about fillers and yet Cerulean Coast has nothing BUT fillers in it. Fact is that some areas are in line with the rest of the base game in terms of density, and others I listed are not just lacking but COMPLETELY DEVOID of anything and are blatantly unfinished. Keep blindly defending it, I'm sure Miyazaki will pop in here and thank you for it some day
>>489375620Counterpoint: dragon wife
>>489376073Fuck off with this dogshit headcanon already
>>489373245Wanted to know if /erg/ wanted to make a VGL team with /fsg/ for the upcoming /vg/ league 23, where various /vg/ generals make soccer teams based on their generals/games and play sportsball with each other. /dsg/ won the first one like over ten years ago so I figured I'd see if /erg/ or /fsg/ wanted to play.If you want a video of what the event looks like, click through this, the most recent Finals for the VGL 22 - https://implying.fun/video/vgl22/2024-06-30/
>>489376215At least the Cerulean Coast is very pretty and atmospheric.
>>489376253your character transforms into her if you use the heart
their kind, one of a piece
>>489376258Not headcanon. Just comparing the way your character fights and moves against the bosses. It’s like your character is stuck in a low fantasy setting while his enemies are all fantasy anime characters.
>>489376362Don't forget the gloveworts!
>>489376215NTA but personally, in both base game and DLC, I like some emptier areas, both to convey a sense of scale to the world and as gameplay downtime. In the coast it works as a serene area, and the finger ruins and abyssal woods are both spooky setpieces where you're meant to dodge the worms' stun spell or the winter lanterns.
>>489376596Okay retard
>>489376563HOW DO YOU KNOW WHAT LEVEL HE IS AND WHAT THE PING IS?
When should I start cashing in all these dragon hearts I keep stockpiling?
>>489376732It's a seamless invasion
>>489375319No, a staple from Fromsoft games is killing bosses in their previously linear titles that will progress major current events in the game and this also progress NPCs. Literally just walking around without killing a single boss and getting punished for it is not a 'staple' you newfag fuck
>>489376814you can just cheat in seamless
Ok so i just finished the dlc, I didnt read any item descriptions or watch any videos about the lore or anything i just played it through and this is my interpretation:Needle knight Leda is a woman with a vagina but she is cursed with a pegging fetish born from intense penis envy. Leda desires to peg a twink and decides to aim high in her goal by entering the lands of shadow In search of the cutest and most famous twink in legend, Miquella the kind. She invites the tarnished along with her because she thinks having some witnesses present for when she takes miquellas anal virginity would be hot, like its a power thing, she wants to show off and such. However, upon reaching the end of big floating castle area Leda is faced with the realization that Miquellas butt has already been buckbroken into a feminine bussy by his consort Rhadahn. This of course angers Leda, who lashes out on the tarnished in response. Also I killed Miquella because a purple thing told me to and purple is my favorite color.
>>489376719How does not having anything to do convey a sense of scale? You can get the same sense WITH dungeons interspersed
>>489376906So?We've dealt with cheaters for 15 years. I'd rather have an occasional cheater than dogshit latency.Like, playing on vanilla is straight painful after seamless

>>489370831>If people beat them too fast, they'd realise there was barely any actual fucking game in this video game expansion.Yeah, I don't really understand all the people who say there's "so much content" when in reality, it's just a convoluted map that just takes too long to get around on with very little in it. Hell, 80% of the actual content in the DLC is just in Shadow Keep.
>>489376719>and as gameplay downtimeit actually ads time to my gameplay because I explore that empty land and waste my time to avoid missing out.In the end I just look up whats in the area on the wikis to avoid wasting time.>>489377117depraved perfumer Carmaan, he's just lying there for free in volcano manor
>Anvil Hammer has an AR of 1323 at max stats>Staff of the Avatar in second place has an AR of 1169God damn that's a big difference
>>489376906Cheating is rampant in vanilla as well the anticheat literally only burdens players and was a mistake
>>489376728Compare your powerstanced gs anims next to the banished knight or ugs animations against Blaidd or Radahn. Or let’s look at Gideon, who has way more spell slots than you and an 80 in both FTH and INT. Fact is is that they’re far more skilled than your character will ever be. Your character is basically a novice who only gets by because he can absorb runes.
>>489377183>gate used to acend to godhood>literally made of corpses>"i dont get it" How? literally how is anyone this stupid?
>>489377242>Hell, 80% of the actual content in the DLC is just in Shadow Keep.This is only fun to mention in hindsight. Everyone here played at release when we combed the empty map for bosses and we had no idea we were wasting time and getting disappointed.No bigger disappointment than riding for 1 hour in empty finger ruins and finding nothing.
>>489376596that's literally your interpretation upon the context of the game (your headcanon)
>>489377113This. Plus I’ve only seen one or two legit cheaters out of dozens of invasions
>>489377492You are not making sense
>>489377037You can't, no other game did it.Elden Ring is the best of both. It has the agency of playthrough customization given by open world and keeps the focus on level design and boss fights of the Souls games without falling for tired open world tropes like scripted questing. All enemies and bosses in the overworld are thematic and fit their location. The DLC has given even more focus on lots of minor dungeons.I like how ballsy Fromsoftware was. Most assumed the DLC would scale down the open world when they in fact integrated dungeons more seamlessly within it.They couls have went for the easy route and just made 3 or 4 shadow keeps and they didn't
>>489377183Squelching people together violently equals divine outcomeSee:>Yahargul/Mensis ritual>Eternal Cities/Lord of Night creation attempts>Divine Gate/Marika's ascension>smaller scale: hornsent jars turning the condemned into saints i. e. trying to rebirth criminals into something better

>>489376821It's even more retarded because the DLC is telling you to go explore and nab scadutree fragments. Just by doing this, you can break half of the questlines in the DLC and be unable to progress.
>>489377113>>489377543Do that many people actually enable invasions in Seamless? Does it also enable invasions of solo hosts?
>>489377885>Just by doing this, you can break half of the questlines in the DLCName them and the condition for failing them
>>489377532I think it's pretty obvious. Maybe they did reuse the Dark Souls animations for expediency, but I like to think there's a lore reason for it as well, and that's because your Tarnished just isn't all that great at fighting and brute forces everything with raw power and ruthlessness.
>>489377895You need to DISABLE invasions via ini, they are on by default. And the frequency of invasions suggests there's a fuckload of people playing with them on because Seamless rewards for beating invaders with a loot table.I don't know if you can enable solo, i've tried creating a session with only me inside but nobody came so i dunno.

Does anyone have access to the image file of Miquella's incant symbol? Its so goddamn hard to get a good image of this thing...
>>489377660Ok let me spell this out for you.The gate is made of bodies, it bleeds when hit with a weapon, to create the gate of divinity many people had to die. Its used to acend to godhood, so anyone using it is putting thier own desires above countless others for personal gain. It is an incredibly blatant and heavy handed symbol of the corruption of power and the human cost that comes as a result of said corrpution. This relates to miquella as well, he isnt using his mind control powers to make the world "a gentler place".
>>489378814Looks like a uterus tattoo
>>489373401>What items pre-dlc are there are connects miquella and radahn? Miquella is sitting on Radahn's emblem in Ordina, towntied to Albinaurics.
I like to "hear" the posts on /erg/ in the voices of Elden Ring characters that my brain autoselects for me. It makes browsing this place at a minimum twice as entertaining as usual.

Have people figured out the timeline of the shadow realm?>Marika is at the divine gate, possibly intended as a sacrifice (?)>this coincides with the Elden Beasts arrival and her being chosen and creating the Elden Ring (?)>this is obv not the intent of the hornsent's "tower to reach the gods", they have created their worst enemy (?)>some time later the Erdtree and Scadutree are created as Marika consolidates her reign, and the entire central landmass of the Lands Between is blasted away and erased from history (?)>some time later Marika creates Messmer's black ops crusade (this must be at a point where there are established nobles who end up forming the fire knights)>the purpose of this is to both get rid of Messmer and possibly other undesirables and also to completely BTFO the hornsent once and for all
>>489379452She would never let that happen but she would peg you.
>>489379270Just use the Milady. Bonus points if you mod it to look like a Carian sword.
>>489378957He's marking his territory
>>489379987Imagine Miquella claiming you by rubbing his bussy all over your body and farting his musk so that everyone knows to stay away
>>489379270N's fighting style is literally just Unsheathe.
Am I missing out by never summoning other players or leaving a sign to get summoned?
what's your thoughts on midra's manse garden? (green)
>>489378794>less contentCompared to what? Are you arguing that Shadow of the Erdtree doesn't offer unique content for its price? That's ludicrous>Elden Ring as a whole has inferior level design than even DS3Dogshit bait only a retard could possibly fall for>That would have unironically been betterNo, It would have been lazy and unoriginal. Elden Ring is one of a kind gama for its objectively unique take on the open world design. The DLC is actually an improvement for how unique and fresh both dungeons and minor dungeons are compared to each other, so they actually addressed legitimate complaints about the base game by keeping the best most fun dungeons like in the base game but not filling the map.Having games centered around back to back dungeons is not a seal of quality either considering most of Dark Souls, Dark Souls 2, Dark Souls 3 and Sekiro have absymal level design and Elden Ring destroyed all of them.It's beyond any doubt that Elden Ring has the best level design they have done, and how you progress through them, the path your run makes and what locations you go to find your tools is a great way to diversify playthroughs too
>>489380461i bet it's nice and empty like the rest of abyssal woods
YOOO this PVP fire fr etc
>>489378957Those are fucking leaves you fucking retard
If u summo... yoou sshould get ]beated upgriefer
>>489378957I don't see it
>>489378957yoo this lore is FIREE fr on god :fire: :fire: @tarnished_archaeologist @vaatividya
>>489378957Is this bait? There isn't a single Golden Order-related character who DOESN'T have leaf- and tree-themed decals.
>>489379714>>this coincides with the Elden Beasts arrival and her being chosen and creating the Elden Ring (?)I believe that happened first. Quite likely a long time before. Setting aside everything with the dragons and the gloam-eyed queen, I don't think Marika is ever credited with the creation of the Elden Ring. Rather she's said to have brought about the Golden Order by extracting the rune of death from the Elden Ring.
>>489380223When they get serious they unzip permanently and go Waterfowl on everything
DS3 was better
>>489380543>watching the tourney>It's all monkeys in 100 poise armor playing passive and spamming rot pots at each other
>>489378075The player has more than enough tools to fight enemies in Elden Ring.
>>489381080And barely any guidance on how to find or use those tools.
>>489380543>>489381036>normie redditor ecelebs versus the sweatiest niggers on twitch >with dogshit commentary from people with no experience >poise blobs, rot pots, grease, halstocs, dual hammers, lgshate watching was a mistake, this was worse than i thought. Somehow all of this garbage dodged their "ban list" RIP everyone having to go up against the faggot argie himself
>>489378957Kek It's hilarious how more than a month later Radahnquella still makes people seethe
>>489380543>no chasetheGODYeah, i'm not watching this crap
>>489380795yeah I thought the story trailer was Marika adding a gold strand of hair (Gold Rune) into the Ring like how the player adds mending runes at the end to change the order of the world
dlc radahn is fucking ridiculous the fucking epitome of "let me have a fucking turn"
>>489381286
>>489332991Normally you would be right, but in this case you are wrong because infusing them with the other element increases their scaling for some reason. Let's use the hammer as an example. At 80 FTH and bare minimum STR/DEX:>Sacred: 298 physical, 553 holy, total AR: 851>Flame Art: 298 physical, 510 fire, 157 holy, total AR: 965The Flame Art version has 0.97 FTH scaling, while the sacred only has 0.71, resulting in these absolutely fucked numbers. An enemy would need to have absolutely jacked up fire resistance and basically no holy resistance for the sacred one to be the better choice. This isn't unique to the hammer either. The same thing happens if you flame art infuse the twinblade or sacred infuse the three fire knight weapons.
>>489381198>>489381080You summon something who actually knows how to fight to do battle for you.
>>489380461more cut content, please understand
>>489381476You can't stun him with parries or something?
>>489381286is it really clueless retards vs pvp youtubers?
>>489381036Oro is like the only honest experienced PVPer in the tourney, he's just using the AMOGUS, although he's also firing off rot pots at the people tossing rot pots at him. Meanwhile every tryhard faggot like Steelovsky and OnlyWaifu is just running the same soulless>banished knight halberd off-hand hand axe>greasy shamshir / cleanrot knight swordsetup
>>489378957The full one
>>489381524553 holy is significantly better than 510 fire plus a useless third wheel damage type
>>489381704You don't understand how resistances work.
>>489380543What I wouldn't give to see the professional gambling addict wipe the floor with the tryhards
>>489381398>man chaserHe will be spamming hefty for lots
zzzZzzzz
>OMFG THIS IS SO EPIC>PLACE YOUR BETS
You should be able to save builds as loadouts you can quickly swap between.
>>489381778Right back at youThat 100 holy damage on a flame art version is absolutely useless
>>489381843Schizo
>>489381387Let them be happy...
Goddamn I love loreposting, it's like trying to figure out fragments of ancient myths where gods were said to steal or grant entire concepts of knowledge from/to mortals and also half of the clay tablets are missing or undecipherable.
>>489381851Does onlywaifu has lewds of her(his) toon?
>>489381890Nioh literally did this on top of having Seamless Coop naturally
SEND YOUR ENERGY TO HIM TO KEK ONLYARGIE>>489381590see >>489381494, what do you think? Somehow they let fuckin St*el and OW in
>>489381198>it's the game's fault that i'm retarded
LFG ORO
>>489333546>sacred pot on the untouchableAm I missing something here?
>>489381851>Steeloskvy vs normalfag challenge runner#8934347896Is this some sort of joke
>>489380512Compared to the base game. There isn't a single area in the base game that isn't packed with content. The DLC comparatively has VERY few dungeons, with over half the zones being literally devoid of them altogether. >Are you arguing that Shadow of the Erdtree doesn't offer unique content for its price?Can you read? Did I say that? Or are you trying to steer the conversation away from what I am saying?>The DLC is actually an improvement for how unique and fresh both dungeons and minor dungeons are compared to each otherBullshit. There are 4 dungeon types in the DLC, one of them being a fucking ONE ROOM dungeon which shouldn't even count as a dungeon at all. Catacombs are not fresh, they are recycled from the base game so your point doesn't stand on that one either. Now you are left with forges, which are boring, and gaols, pretty much the only fresh dungeon content in the DLC.
>>489382145The dungeons are far better than basegame though. It's quality over quantity.
>>489380803>theyN always fight in Iai pose, all of his anime attacks are just different flavors of unsheathe. Even Shred the Strawman.
>>489381398He's not participating because he can't edit out his losses so he only fights clueless PVE'ers
>>489381936It's not 100, it's 157. Let's examine what happens when you smack an enemy with these who has 40% resistances to every element:>Sacred has it's 553 holy damage cut down to 60%, meaning 331 makes it through to damage calculation>Flame Art has its fire damage cut to 307 and its holy cut to 94 for damage calculation>307 + 94 = 401>401 > 331Again, normally you would be correct that damage splitting is bad. But the fact that the damage splitting increases the scaling on these weapons means the AR goes up so high that an enemy would need absolutely jacked resistance to the element you're adding to make splitting not worth it.
>>489381476Upload your next attempt I wanna point out all the turns you actually had but didn't take
>>489382291Leyndell Catacombs is still more memorable for me
>>489338278>>489333546I missed this....>tfw nowadays everybody already parried them to death when I spawned in
>>489382006Neat pic but I'd assume Messmer's vision of flame is probably something different from Melina's.
>>489382138no, the culture vultures of mainstream media have done this for years. Bring in some popular maggots from the crop for PR while hosting events on FOTM shit they know nothing about. As usual , they'll sell out and play anyways since they get free easy wins and promotions
MAKE A NEW THREAD YOU FUCKING NONCE. I'LL FUCKING SPLATTER YOU I SWEAR IT.
>>489382406>who has 40% resistances to every element:Now take flat resistances into account and your 150 turns into jack shit.
>>489381843can still see sapcan still see the crumbling effect of veilscope
>steelovsky the massive tryhard faggot vs. onlywaifu the massive tryhard faggotebinsimply ebinwhat a wonderful concept for an event
>>489382584Bosses don't have flat resistances. Only players do.
Steelovsky rotting and shieldpoking in this weird tournameny is kinda based. Get rekt challenge runners
>>489382609Onlywaifu is a terrible player
>>489382609Isn't onlywaifu garbage carried by his horrible latency, one anon here dabbed on that faggot, there's a webm
I'm going insane watching this "pvp tourney"30 second unskippable twitch ads followed by two clueless nonwhite retards discussing two third world passive monkeynigger youtubepvpers running around switch shamshirs and rot grease
>>489381970>>489382587cope harder
>>489382783Why the fuck are you watching it?

That's abundant for its price and scope>with over half the zones being literally devoid of them altogetherGood, that makes the gameplay time really focused on tbe more dense portion of the map>Bullshit. There are 4 dungeon types in the DLCSo as much as the base game types>Catacombs are not fresh, they are recycled from the base gamewrong>Now you are left with forges, which are boringsubjective
>>489382652Oh, we're talking about pve? Lmao whatever
Who is top left?
>>489382938the chainsaw guy
>>489382938Zanzicacus the bold, golimancer of colonberg
can we get a new thread
>>489382750Yeah, he's straight up Argentinian>find webm with a quick search>went from using bk halberd off-stoc to bk halberd off-axelol...Oro is too good for dueling this guy again even though he apparently broke the rules on top of his shit connection.
>>489382903If we are talking about PvP the subject is moot because the black steel greathammer is shit there compared to great stars. Holy damage is bugged in PvP and it's fancy guard counter isn't going to do shit there either.
>>489382750>there's a webmCan someone post it?
>>489383063lmfao he actually ganks at level 20 something too, i think an anon here also fought him at stormveil and he had a max level boyfriend too
>>489383057>>489382506just post what you want to post already fag
>>489382938Could just be a younger Rykard as a Golden Order Justiciar.
>>489381540No, the summon doesn't know spacing or read enemy animations. I canNot the game's fault you are more stupid and incompetent than an NPC
>Oro, the only relatively honest player with a right to be there, got shat onwelp time to close the tab>>489382783holy fuck your post made me kek
>>489383073>and it's fancy guard counter isn't going to do shit there eitherGuard counter of blacksteel has hyperarmor, it absolutely obliterates randoms in a way great stars will never do.
>>489382861Again, your points are:>less content is better>empty areas are goodyou're an empty-headed FROMdrone who thinks they can make no wrong moves, refusing to even admit catacombs are recycled from the base game for some retarded reason? Get your shit together.
>>489383214It wouldn't surprise me, he's ganking in that webm>drops 41727 souls>meaning he was a RL325 password phantom
WHERE'S THE LAMB SAUCE?
>>489383286Oroboro is a fucking douchebag who loves to bully the fuck out of people what are you talking about
>>489383305Doesn't really matter with the holy damage bug. You're gutting your damage if you bring a sacred weapon into PvP since your buffs aren't going to work on it.

>>489383214He had a boyfriend and they spammed storm blade like niggers against an RL1 char yeah
>>489382861>3 legacy dungeons and 3 minor legacy dungeons>40$>base game has 6 and 10 (14 if you count siofra, nokron, mohgwyn and deeproot)>60$i don't follow
>>489382861what the fuck do you mean catacombs aren't recycled? Did you miss literally every single one of them in the base game somehow?
>>489383420I said "relatively" as in *comparison* kek, i know that guy's still a weasel cunt unfortunately. He just isn't the same insufferable minmaxing nigger plagues like the other two tho
>onlywaifu breaks the rules, leading to a situation where oro can choose to DQ him or rematch>chooses to rematch out of honor>immediately gets shit on by onlywaifu's dog shit brazilian internet>onlywaifu starts abusing the latency with poisonlmao jfc fuck anyone who takes this game's pvp seriously. why did they let this guy in?
>>489383496Are UNIQUE and LESS the same word now you fucking illiterate faggot?
>>489383563They have new enemies and mechanics
>>489383010He had blood soaked bandages which is what Bernahl's Finger Maiden wore in the cut content but that's cut content or the maker used random clothes.
>>489346126To get you to join Mohg. He tells you being maidenless is a problem if you want to become lord, that the fingers are full of shit and the greater will has abandoned the lands between.
>>489383612>>489383612>>489383612
>>489383547Gee, it's a good thing that legacy dungeons aren't the only thing in the DLC
>>489383763>now catacombs have imps, but they shoot fireballs!WOOOOOAH SPICY FRESH CONTENT
>>489383763>instead of imp it's another imp>instead of raising floor into a spike that you find in dungeons like impalers catacomb now the floor falls onto you>death blight frog statue is just the same shit as winter lantern enemies>>489383913>The DLC has 3 legacy dungeons and 3 minor legacy dungeons. That's abundant for its price and scopemoving the goalposts?
>>489383871What the fuck is wrong with you?
>>489383547Shuf up faggot, yes a larger vertical dungeon with its own remembrance boss is totally comparable to fucking Castle Morne, retard>>489383743Funny how you still try to push the narrative that the DLC didn't respect a certain "quantity" of content it should have had according to your criteria based on whothefuckknows standards, when at least half of The Old Hunters is completely recycled enemies and locations.
>>489384317>b-but whuddabout BLOODBORNE!TOPFUCKINGKEK
>>489383871What the fuck is right with you?
>>489384429>no argumentpottery
>>489384317holy shit, it's messmer knight/soldier, base game mages and troll, wandering nobles and female pontiff (with no cutscene or dialogues)! amazing legacy dungeon!

>>489384878let me fix it for you: it's lazy.
>>489384675>WhataboutismIt's a legitimate comparison to 2 pieces of content with the same cost, and Shadow of the Erdtree offers more than double the content, seethe harder
>>489383989darklight is clearly the best catacomb dungeon in the game, the others are good, too
>>489354956>sellen was banished for her fucked up glintstone experiments>feeds you biased info about how glintstone is based and the academy is limiting itself by restricting study on it>Thops and jerren both tell you that sellen's killed/mutated other sorcerers in the past>involved in a body-swap scheme with resident creepy magic man seluvisYou retards will believe anything if a moderately attractive woman tells it to you. A clear minded individual could tell that her revenge quest couldn't end for her, especially after seeing how Azur and Lusat ended up.>Why does every quest need to end in doom and gloom?Finish Nepheli's quest. You didn't give her the mind control potion, did you?
>>489385007it's a whataboutism. No one was talking about Bloodborne, no one was talking about other FROM DLCs. We were talking about base game content vs DLC content. You are trying to muddy the waters so you can retreat like the coward you are.
>>489384937No, it's differentInquisitors, bigmouth Imp, putrescence sorcerers, messmer soldiers, death knights, etc... are all new enemiesThe layoufs and traps are also different. They are far more enjoyable and take and amplify the best part of the most creative minor dungeons of the base game.You can seethe all you want, but everybody knows SotE has higher quality major and minor dungeons, which was already fairly good on average but lacked that variety, that fovus the DLC brought.
>>489385521>it's a whataboutism.no, it's>a legitimate comparison to 2 pieces of content with the same cost, and Shadow of the Erdtree offers more than double the content, seethe harderand I'm not retreating from anything. I'm standing my ground because I'm right. There's no "less" content than it should have, it's more than varied and has so much more things per its cost than any DLC content From made, but you don't seethe about The Old Hunters having 2 out of 3 locations and 1 out of 3 enemies reskinned from the base game and its 5 dogshit bosses for a much lower value per buck, which is really telling that you are just a dishonest shitposter.
>>489378919I'm disappointed there's like only 1-2 NSFW artworks of Miquella mindbreaking the player with his rune. The rest of it is him using the hypnosis app on Radahn
>>489385984>keeps rambling about Bloodborne
>>489382938He's a guy from House Marais. You can see his portraits around the swamp castle on Mt. Gelmir. I'm pretty sure there's 0 lore on him. Probably the old lord of the castle before it went to hell.
>>489386935I read an item description earlier about him that all his sons were born sickly so he was fond of Malenia but I can't remember where I seen it
