Why are Shogh and Shogott so cute?I want to read a manga about their antics in the royal palace and their troubled lives as young omen.
>>489913343I think Radagon is pretty fucking cool, sadly everything about him was cut.>Sword of Night and Flame was made when they married to be symbolic of the time when astrologers and Fire Giants lived together as neighbours>Gave a gift to Marika made of glintstone (iirc)>Helped Miquella build his tree house giving him albinaurics (when the lore was that they were made by the academy) and knights, also the obvious radagon's ring of lightUnfortunately in the end product he doesn't really do shit. So Ranni wins 100%.

>>489914201The grave looks real comfy right now>>489914203I always use a big sword, and Elden Ring seems to hate big sword users. I just dumped a few points in arcane for the toxic breath magic when I just wanted a boss to fuck off out of frustration. I used it a lot.

Alright /erg/, dust has settled. What are your DLC weaponfus, that you find yourself coming back to again and again? For me it's:>Smithscript Daggers and Cirques>Spirit Glaive>Beast Claws (offhand especially)>Falx>Spear of the Impaler

>>489916718best thing about the dlc hands down and if its not built in part of your kit going forward From deserves to go bankrupt for being retarded
>>489916861I really wish it like did like poise damage or something to npcs if you did it successfully so they'd eventually stagger if you kept deflecting
>>489917217yeah that would be good but that would make the game too good.Also they're hiding the poise bar which should be visible. The world is trending towards more visible stats instead of less.They hate sekiro mechanics and only add them to the game half heartedly
>>489916718Very fun to use, even if the implementation isn't as good as in Sekiro and LoP. I need it to be a core mechanic in the next game.

Anyone else think we should have gotten Frenzied sorceries or something? Midra seemed like an intellectual—but at the same time intelligence doesn’t seem to be a good mix with madness.

>>489920362Ra*ahn :^)
>>489919884I haven't been able to commit to a full dex build since DS3. I always end up pivoting into primarily faith/int or respeccing to a strength build halfway through the game.
>>489920442Silly anon, knowing too much can lead to madness.
>>489918380This better not be a Foxhole meme
>>489920671Full dex legitimately seems pointless you are just wasting the cast speed portion of the stat
>>489916249I've got a Perfumer build going and I just got my animal themed guy to the dlc and acquired the beast claws.On my main I used a lot of the Ancient Meteoric Ore greatsword and the Sunflower
>>489920442>intelligence doesn’t seem to be a good mix with madness
>>489920442We should have gotten more Frenzy expansion in general. We got a glorified Emote disguised as an incantation, Pots, and a consumable tool that does...something? I don't even know because people standing right in font of the thing don't get hit. Look I get that Frenzy grease/weapon buff would not be fun to deal with on a lot of weapons; but work it like the blackflame weapon buff, have it only last like 5 seconds. It's all you need anyway. Why the fuck does SLEEP GET TWO VERSION REEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEBeyond ass madness'd
Does weapon range matter?
Why is the vagabond knight so cool?
lol
>no crescent moon sorceries >no frenzied sorceries >no bubble sorceries >no rot sorceries >no crystallian sorceries >no primeval sorceries In-general, sorceries could have gotten a lot more love this dlc
>>489919884Probably pure dex or full caster. All my builds are some variant of knight with a greatsword.
behold the power of the lord of frenzied flame
>>489921320Yes if you're min/maxxing and looking for as much edge as you can get in order to poke things without getting pokedNo because theme builds/fun > weapon stats
Frenzy sorceries would not require INT as understanding the Frenzied Flame is indistinguishable from worshiping it, or falling into its clutches.At best, a mix of INT and FTH.

If you had a sufficiently powerful alien AI on hand, capable of making the perfect video games by mashing them together, how would you mix Dark Souls lore in with Elden Ring lore?Who would come first? Marika or Gwyn?

>>489923982Ancient Dragons exist in both. A ton of shared ideas and concepts in all of their games. In theory, you should be able to combine them all into one big mega game.

>>489923936who the fuck would summon for mimic tear
Does destined death really kill the soul? or is it just freeing them from reincarnating on the erdtree
>>489923936whats worse, summoning on mimic tear or dying to mimic tear
>>489921465most versatile
>>489923903Isn’t Marika just a female Gwyn? Her son is even named GodWYN. Seath would be some sort of primeval dragon.
He is so glowy...
>>489924217Summoning, because it implies he's already died to it.
Oh that's what's going on, dsg killed fsg and are now bored
>>489924142The mausoleums imply being reborn is still possible so idk
>>489924297That is a woman.
>>489923903>If you had a sufficiently powerful alien AI on hand, capable of making the perfect video games by mashing them togetherIf I had that I wouldn't use it to mix Dark Souls lore with Elden Ring lore. I would use it to create more content for Elden Ring.
>>489924112>>489924115>>489924217I imagine it was some normie who's a complete shitter and thought he'd be clever getting randoms to beat the boss for him. I had something similar happen earlier today where I got brought into the haligtree and the host was hiding as a lamp while baiting in invaders. Frenzy flamestones really are the best deterrent for a scumbag host
>>489924297
>>489924272They're both gods but Marika is way more powerful overall. Her age would last forever if the didn't corroborate with Ranni's assassination ploy. Gwyn's age of fire needed more fuel every so often.
>>489924297Wonder if his bussy glows too
>>489924813I mean, the Erdtree stopped producing sap. Something would happen eventually.

>>489925824yes actually, a penis-spear screams dex
So nobody summons in the weeping peninsula or am I retarded?
>>489926108Rude...
Since Elden Ring is set during a medieval period it's safe to assume all the girls are unshaven. Even Roderika and Melina have curly stinky ass hairs.
>>489926001>I wish she could've survived to be in lesbians with her friend.She wanted to fuck Guts
>>489925093DS3 has better multiplayer systems and overall balance, but the absolutely horrific builds are more annoying than the worst stuff in Elden Ring. Many more weapons were absolutely worthless or clearly, objectively outclassed by their peers. R1 R1 and pseudo-combos were the law of the land. The arena sucked.ER has a much wider variety of viable weapons, spells, and ashes, but multiplayer systems are nonexistent and invasions are full of subhumans who exploit advantages designed to give clueless hosts a chance. Low level invasions are infested with password phantoms, high level invasions devolve into projectile spam because every build (even pure STR or DEX builds) has access to cheap, effective projectiles. The arena sucks.I love both games, but for whatever reason I prefer ER because it's easier to make funny builds and just have fun with them. I just wish it had real multiplayer systems.
>>489926114only to gang rape Rannala (in the ass) but I just remember that and sum hunter summons, which are ok because there is usually not a lot of difficult terrain and you can get to the fight easy.

>greatest questline in all of elden ring has an npc show up twice while you climb a mountain then join you to fight a big dragon>less than 2 minutes of dialogue totalSeriously, how did they screw up the quests so badly that a big moby dick reference is the greatest narrative part of the game? I dislike dark souls 3's story (and it's rollslop focus) but it still has better quests than elden ring
>>489926221Most ER pvp I've seen is either "how do I stack 5 buffs to oneshot the host before his phantoms can kill me with their oneshots" or "how do I lure the host to this cliff so I can pull out the Radahn swords to shove him off"
>>489926975That's tru- *hits you with r1 into r1 and backs off" e but st- *hits you with a running attack poke* ill I think tha- *hits you with another r1 into r1 into a truecombo*t elden ring is still cooler

>>489913786>Royal PalaceThey lived in the sewers with the rats and basilisks
>>489926975This is why I mostly watch Saint, he still plays it like DS3 (even though this is often a terrible idea)>>489926849I think it's interesting how diametrically opposed the design of Igon's the the followers of Miquella's quests is.>IgonYou encounter Igon, wonder "What's up with him?" and then move on. The next time you encounter him, it's directly in the player's path through Jagged Peak, and you actually do something to cause this encounter (defeating the two drakes). You're given a little bit of actual exposition about who he is and what he wants, and the next time you encounter Igon is summoning him for Bayle's fight, where he has unique behavior and greatly enhances the atmosphere of the fight with his dialogue. Clear, consistent connection between narrative and gameplay.>every Miquella follower questGo here. Exhaust dialogue. Rest at grace because you don't know whether you exhausted their dialogue and they're going to do something. They move to an area of the map that you may or may not have already progressed past. Exhaust dialogue. Teleport to top of storehouse. Teleport to bottom of storehouse. Teleport to top of storehouse again. It's awful.
>>489927974Miquella is megaforced in this DLC somehow
>>489926648I mean, objectively speaking you are pretty mentally ill. >Be you >Be Elden Ringing>Break into Ranni mom house>Beat the shit out of her ma>Find out where Ranni lives>Break into her house multiple times>Probably kill her dogs multiple times too>She ran away >Get her dragon to guard the door this time>You kill it too >"You are my waifu now">"I bet she thinks of me fondly with affection">"By the way all your friends mysteriously keeled the fuck over and i killed this guy because i think he was gonna betray you but it is okay because you got me now"
>>489928136>>Get her dragon to guard the door this time>>You kill it tooNot my problem, she could have introduced me to the dragon like she did for everyone else at any time, I can only assume she wanted the dragon dead
>>489926648>>489928136Why can’t most of the shit going on the lands between be solved with sex? Or at least therapy?
>>489928645Either Radagon or Rennala wrote this post
>>489928706Hey, either one can go a long way
>>489927974Yep. Fromsoft is obviously afraid of having a sequence of exposition or whatever... but the dlc needed one. It's not like they're completely opposed - the ranni quest has a bit where you're actually outright forced to talk to ranni, blaidd, seluvis, and iji and can't leave. There should've been a cutscene where you meet them and get all their vibes. It took me a while to figure out what the fuck a hornsent was because the one in the miquella gang was outright called 'hornsent'. And obviously after that make the quests actually good instead of... "Yeah you have to skip this bit and find this guy and ask this guy and also don't kill any of the pests". The closest the miquella quest got to actually enthralling me was the fact that hornsent would join you to fight messmer and had lots of dialogue for it. That was cool, he had a very clear idea of what he wanted. Vs leda and moore and shit. I do like that you can thin out the herd of the gank fight early and the idea of it being influenced by your quest is actually cool, even if the execution is bad.
>>489928927george said he'd beat miyazaki to death if he tried to puss his shit with ranni or something idk
>>489925093ER has the second best PvP in the series after BB.

>>489914072Wait a minute, that silhouette...
I wish I was the "frothing degenerate" Sellen complained about
I can't bring myself to play another second of this game.
I'll die mad thinking that Godwyn should've been the focus of the DLC. Not saying "uhh durr instead of Radahn and Miquella on his back it's Godwyn with Miquella on his back!" this shit will look retarded regardless of who's there.The Erdtree obviously represents life so it's weird counterpart should represent death. Instead of treating the place as the underworld they decided to make it some real™ land that was sealed off
>>489930851It's pretty clear that their ambitions for the DLC far outstripped their time allotment so they had to cut and adjust a bunch of stuff.
>>489930846okay
>>489930851To me at least it's pretty obvious the whole lands between was the afterlife, but Marika or someone else (probably marika though) seperated the shadow realm and trapped that as the afterlife world of the deathbirds and the like (who sometimes escape into the lands between) while the erdtree has it's own isolated cycle of death and rebirth
>>489924297I think Miyazaki might be gay bros.
>>489931364>Marika or someone else (probably marika)Ha yes, Marika or Marika. Unless it's Marika. But who can say if it's Marika, maybe it's Marika instead.
If Devonia left to go find the Crucible, and she ended up in Rauh ruins, does that mean her search for the Crucible in Scooby-land was leading her to the divine gate?
>>489923903I would not mix them together, I'd mix Bloodborne with Def Jam Fight for NY
>>489929940Crucible'd.The Divine Gate is a tool to control the power of the Crucible to give the user beneficial mutations that amount to godhood instead of random mutations that mostly screw them over confirmed.
>>489931521it means from is making shit up as they go and don't really care
>>489930995>Has two + fucking years >It is too little time :(((((>Game consists of not one, not two, not three but four empty barren fucking shit holes the size of Radahn's asshole after a date night with Miquella>Random rot whore out of fucking nowhere>Lore is "she randomly contacted space AIDS lol"
>>489930851Wouldn't surprise me if some years later GRRM confirms the whole thing about Radahn was literally a Miyazaki asspull. Nothing in the base game and literally just a handful of items in the DLC hint at this supposed vow. I'd have been ok even with a new character that only exists in the Land of Shadow being the consort.
>>489931521How else do you think they were planning to power the gate? You see Marika yoink the ER's golden threads in the story trailer. Placidusax's dragon god bounced and left the ER behind and so the Hornsent built their tower up around the Crucible to manufacture a replacement.
>>489929486The tale of house hoslow is told in blood
>>489931521It is because the Scadu tree is/was the Crucible, anon. I thought they made it obvious enough Why do you think it is helix / spiral shaped?
>>489931447>GwyndolinWhat gave that away?
>>489930851>Instead of treating the place as the underworld they decided to make it some real™ land that was sealed offThey kinda do this with the "all manner of death washes up here" which ends up being completely irrelevant except for Radahn's soul which is here for some reason instead of the Erdtree.
>>489931447It's only gay to be a Miquella enjoyer if you're a woman
>>489931601Def jam was awesome
>>489928067Even his supposed parallel with Marika is extremely weak, only midwits who treat lorefagging like they're unlocking arcane texts for pointing out the most obvious character arcs ever think it's compelling. They're really not that similar at all besides "they wanted to make the world a better place by becoming a God" and the forced as FUCK Godfrey parallel that nukes everything interesting about Miquella's lore.
>>489930995That's Elden Ring in general (erg lol) and that's why I am mad. They had a very good setting to work with and because of time constraints they had to cut and change down a bunch of shit so now we're left with the scraps of what could've been.Miyazaki reusing things from old games because he thinks it's cool (frenzied flame, time is le convoluted invasions, roundtable hold, hollow enemies) makes it even worse. And, instead of going "oh shit, we sold a billion dollars!" (I think shortly before the DLC released they announced 25M copies sold and the DLC sold another 5M) and work on putting some good care post-release they're just moving on to something else. This is baffling to me.Everything about SoTe feeling rushed as fuck (from the open world, to the lore added to every character and even the artbook) and then the company itself not suffering anything from it makes me sad for the future of Fromsoft, but at this point I don't even care and would happily enjoy it.
what the sigma this gameplay is so skibidi
>>489927326They can if they try, they just couldn't put in even the minimal amount of effort into SotE. Freyja's lore alone shows how they had no conception of a timeline of events as a deed that's supposed to make him look compassionate ends up turning him into a monumental dumbass and piece of shit when you look at the bigger picture, and the Mohg kidnapping plot is genuinely incomprehensible to piece together and seemingly only exists for an ebin twist.
>>489932554It sets a bad precedent tooGorillion moneys and they're just moving on huh
>>489931871I said the Divine Gate, not the scadutree. If the crucible was the Scadutree Devonia would've been at the Scadutree, not Rauh.
>>489932624What the fuck even happened here
>>489916861Wrong. Its literally one of the least braindead way to fight radahn using colossal S/W, other than spamming lions claw.
There's literally nothing wrong with killing hornsentThey deserve worse
>>489932708>mogg kidnapped miquella so miquella could... sit undergroundWaow
>>489932819Yeah, I don't get it either. Not saying they should milk it for the next 20 years, but it's like having the golden goose in your hands and you kill it for it's meat.
>>489932902aurora borealis
>>489914954>shoesize grewGot fatter? or did anything else grow, like your fingers, jaw, forehead?
>>489933046The detail about him canonically never responding to Mohg yet somehow was able to charm him through the cocoon and how Ansbach challenged him is complete nonsense, and that's assuming the kidnapping wasn't planned as it becomes even more retarded if you believe it was
Why did they put less effort into final boss than literally any other remembrance boss?
>>489932624wow i thought eac was supposed to prevent that?
>>489933097YupAll it tells me is to wait before buying new from shit to see if it'll be rushed or not
>>489932554invasions never made sense in dark souls. a lot of stuff in souls was just ideas that made sense when invented for demons, but no sense in dark souls. so for elden ring i don't have as much a problem with it, but it's when they do a similar thing but worse that it gets annoying. roundtable hold as a significantly worse version of ds3 firelink and untended graves - already the worst hub from the souls series is a great examplealso it's really funny/stupid that the wandering nobles look like walking corpses but thops has been locked out of the academy since the shattering and he's just... fine
>>489932554>Miyazaki reusing things from old games because he thinks it's coolI still don't know what's the point of the tarnished crossing the fog to reach the lands between other than an epic demon's souls reference.
>>489915546Youve perfectly described the problem with big weapons doing. Imagine having 1000 ar with a single giant crusher with 23 weight, vs 2 slender swords each doing 500 damage, weighing like 8 units. Yeah youre not doing more damage than giant crusher but you will be doing comparable damage with way more dps.
>>489932858 I mean, you can see the Scoobydootree from every fucking where
>>489933416I think it's cool because it's the distant homeland and land of the godsKinda cool
>>489933416Well that's because it's the afterlife. The real reuse is fog gates, which are a demon's souls thing
>Die to start up of Radahn Rock attack>he's one pixel>Mimic tear beats god>He was only there to throw blood pots>I didn't beat the game
>>489933257Ansbach canonically challenged the cocoon. It's why the cocoon has the giant rip that the hand is coming out of.
What starting class do you always gravitate towards when you play a fromsoft game?
>>489932624incredibly based
>>489932624Ohio rizz
>>489933809How did Ansbach even get close enough, did Mohg just watch his knight from the sidelines draw his blade with murderous intent and thought "yeah that's fine", when we can't even stop to say hello before trying to kill us because he thinks we'll take Miquella away?
>>489933752>the afterlife.No it ain'tRoderika's people came there by boat (they knew of the place while in the mainland, and about grafting, unless some jesus revived and told everyone how would they then)Godfrey left the island with his bros and they had kids
>>489932554I dont really know how they judge the success of a DLC, but if it only sold 1/5 and took almost half a long to make then hopefully that's a wake up call
>>489933809the opening cutscene literally shows miquella's body out of the cocoon though, unless mohg removed him from one to put into another one
>>489933264So it's Sulyvahn with shitty hitboxes and two shot capabilities for the git gud crowd?
>>489933854PyroMerchantVagabond
>>489933264Why do you keep posting this? Anyone with eyes can see that their actual animations are different.
>>489933997Why couldn't the afterlife be a physical place? It is in plenty of mythologies. Hell is a valley of trash burning in Jerusalem
>>489914459>and Elden Ring seems to hate big sword users.nah, its one of the best games in from's library for big sword users. you just have to pick your moments, and know your advantages. for example, using cragblade for more stance breaking like another anon said. Fully charged R2s are beastly in Elden Ring, they do tons of stance damage. If you don't want to use cragblade, lion's claw/ savage lions claw does great damage and stance damage too. Guard counters are your friend, and great at the end of a boss' combo
>>489934220blind ass mf on god are you /srs or /j
>>489934016This was a plot hole even before the DLC
>Punched Malenia to death with the help of my new Dragon Priestess gf FlorissaxFeels good bros.
>>489934220They are identical homie. Exact same timing. 1:1. They exact same animations just slightly modified. Like he jumps higher in the end. And there is one slash vs stab. Stop coping
This DLC helped me achieve a degree of enlightenment. I was fixated on Miquella being with the Tarnished, and was extremely resistant to any other outcome. Thus the Creator brought forth the spiritual catalyst of him being written as being with another, so as to bring about my spiritual evolution. Then I studied metaphysics and Buddhist dharma more closely and came to the realization that all is One. Therefore, Radahn being with Miquella is me being with him and vice versa.
>>489933956Presumably Mohg was too busy fucking Miquella in the cocoon to notice
>>489934727you're a cuck AND a faggot, legitimately consider suicde
I don' understand what Law of Causality and Law of Regression means.
>want ansbach's mask for a bloodflame-centered build>you can only get it after beating PCR, the hardest fight in the gameI understand why people cheat now
>>489915738Jesus christ, that's nuts. A few weeks ago some anon mentioned that the Dancing Lion has a rare move that uses all of his elements, and he only does it if you take a long time to kill him. Haven't seen it, ever, and today while helping a very passive and useless host who probably had no skidibis, I saw that crazy combo. It destroyed me and the other phantom and the boss still had like 40% of his HP left
Sleeping with Messmer!
>>489916718utterly based and like the others said, i want it as an option going forward in all the games. its too fun to not use.
>>489934595I just realized that DS2 enemies are so sluggish and awkward because they had to balance everything to not be literally impossible with base agility, that game was such a shitshow
>>489934595Why didnt he backstab
>>489932554They nearly always do this shit.Every Souls game they over reach for what they want to do and it causes shit to go wrong in other departments or they make just the most baffling fucking decisions and it leads to cut content, massively wasted potential and a shallow story/characters.At its worst you end up with shit like Dark Souls 2 and 3 where they basically have to patch all the shit together in the last year and a bit and hope for the best.It's pretty much just Sekiro that came out relatively unscathed.
>>489916249Backhand BladesMiladyFire Knight Greatswordspecial shout out to Savage Lions Claw, one of the coolest skills in the whole game
>>489934850>Law of CausalityCausality is the pull between meanings; that which links all things in a chain of relation.>Law of RegressionRegression is the pull of meaning; that all things yearn eternally to converge.Everything is related, all things have the same root and are destined to one day combine with eachother. Basically it is the Greater Will's desire of "ALL as ONE"
>>489935134No, the player is slow tooDS2 was a high commitment game, all you did was high commitment (no moving while drinking, estus is over time, can't just spin around on a dime, can't just smash shit to roll out of animations)

i don't understand ymirwhat did he want us to do with the third map piece? when and if we found metyr?was it him who sent the sister after us?why did he get so upset when we had to defend ourselves from metyr? didn't he want to become her?

>>489935680yes
>>489934849Consider, if you will, taking that logic to it's extremity. To reproduce is a form of cuckoldry, as you're priming your offspring to be claimed by another. To work is a form of cuckoldry, as you're providing resources others will utilize for their own offspring from your skill and energy. To make a video game is a form of cuckoldry, as you're creating characters that will be parodied and eroticized. Everything is cuckoldry given the interdependent relationships of souls, bodies, organs, cells, molecules across time-space.The only answer to this dilemma is the dissolution of a sense of self, and the recognition of all as being one.

Roundtable hold is the fucking worst hub in these games, maybe any game to have a hub. >Oh boy so many rooms!>80% are empty>Oh boy it's got so many npcs!>They all leave 10 to 20% of the way through the game>It uh, it burns when the tree is on fire!>We have no idea whySeriously the game would've actually just been better with tarnished village on the coast or some shit.

>>489936675Why does he have breasts
I'll never not be amazed when I see this view.
>>489936881Estrogen induced femboy titties.
>>489936576Before the DLC, people could pretend Miquella was an actual character
>>489936491He's canonically a top that plaps radahn. But even japs are doing this to the two. It's what they'll be remembered for
>>489937018I want a Souls game where it's just a giant 1:1 interconnected walled city, no other levels.
>Terrified as shit of the abyssal woods for the first time>The mansion is just the same shadowmen and fucking horned warriorsSeriously just reuse the ghosts that appeared in like 2 areas in sekiro. Make an enemy that slowly follows you and can't be killed. Do something besides just 'it's a mansion i guess'
>>489937245>He's canonically a top that plaps radahn. This is the truth. The Chinese understand.
>>489937145And now they aren't. The closest being to actual being a character now are marika who we never speak to and ranni both of whom have the most annoying simps and should all die
>>489937305Trust the Spellbound leaks and then get disappointed when they're wrong even though you have no right to be

>>489937363Manse vs. manse, Manse of the Hallowed Brothers from LotF BTFOs Midra's Manse so hard it isn't even funny. Give me back my real dungeon design, man. Elden Ring fully separated the dungeon and the boss into two different parts of the game. You can make the dungeons hard, it's okay.
>>489937245>>489937406From the beginning it's clear it's just some Fugtrup sissy Link Ganondorf degenerate tranny shit they just had to force in
>>489937584>LOTFIs that game actually good? I really liked the Surge.
>>489937406Japs understand too. Even many western normalfags now make jokes about radahn being miquella's wife.
>>489936704yeah thats how the internet works things spread
>>489937771It's good. Great? No, not really.
>>489937779It's why more than one artist is drawing cuntboy Radahn now
>>489937908I mean it's literally canon, so
>>489936841I appreciate you expressing your desire to form a partnership. It is a happy thing to consider.
>Opponent uses claws of the nightOkay cool I'll just stand still and die.
>>489937728Cope
>>489937779Is that why Radahn looks like a Yujiro/Ganondorf knockoff?Come on, no one believes that shit
>>489938046So do you accept?
Should I try for a madness build or just stick with dragon communion? Faith has by far the most versatile play style.
>>489938242Yes actually. Josou seme is becoming increasingly popular with degenerates.
>>489937728Cute not degenerate
>>489938242Yujiro meaning this character from Baki who canonically raped another man in the ass and is regarded as a straight gigachad for it
>>489938509Unfortunately Miquella will be in the degenerate side instead of cute. Not even Mohg x Miquella artists were this bad.
>>489937018>>489937305>I want a Souls game where it's just a giant 1:1 interconnected walled city, no other levels.It would get boring very quickly as everything would look the same from start to finish.

>>489936349we save radahn after we kill miquellawe saved mohg when we killed him
>anons talking about femboy tops and cuntboysSomeone needs to set these crooked lands to rights.
All from needs to do is reveal that Miquella was a woman all along and every "brother" in the translation was a translation error This will never happen but its the funnies thing they could do
>>489938675And who incidentally looks exactly like Radahn
>>489937728>From the beginning it's clear it's just some Fugtrup sissy Link Ganondorf degenerate tranny shit they just had to force inYep.
>>489938740I'd be happy purely because it would mean an overhaul to the casting system. For all the people bitching that Elden Ring has reached the limit of what a Souls game can or should do, the only way in which it's actually true is with regard to the casting system. The Demon's Souls spell cycling with D-pad shit just does not work with the pace of Elden Ring combat.
>>489938509>>489938703Would literally not exist in the game at all if it weren't for degenerate reasons and Miyazaki reading some blacked sissification ogre x shota doujin

Violently beating Messmeryumes to death. Hitting them on the head really hard with a rock until their skull caves in.

>>489939485all true
>>489939519Isn't that like almost every single boss battle?>>489939319It's cause a regular runebear has fast and long reaching attacks with quick/subtle tells. The camera also sucks which makes reading them even more difficult. Rugalea doesn't move around as much, and ironically, it's new bear communion AOEs make it a lot more manageable since it stops belly sliding all over the place.

>>489939094Dont make them stand up instead give them a couple of new moves in phase 2. Make it so they don't spam the crawl attack. Phase 1 wyrms are already pretty good.
>>489939518I personally enjoy these hosts because it's an excuse to let my darkest urges run wild. I'll leave cute hosts alone if they gesture at me or they're truly clueless, but people who refuse to play the game get the worst of it. Cannon bombardment, pots, night maiden's mist, rancor shot, poison, killing their password phantoms, blocking them, and holding their game hostage. I will make them suffer as slow and humiliating a death as I can.
>>489940041you're supposed to cry after reading one line of text bro

>>489940205It's not like I'm suddenly gonna feel sorry for Marika. Did she throw her two omen kids into the sewer because they reminded her of the people who stuffed a bunch of her shamans in jars (for reasons i have no fucking clue of)? That's still a bitch move. Total marika death
>>489940319>trusting a h*rnsent
>>489939652Believe it or not, that's actually just a common scenario for the sissy/tranny type stuff. Same goes for the "warlord" scenarios like with Radahn
>>489913410Are Abductor Virgins the final boss? What the fuck is up with them? I barely survived the grab from one and the second I stood up the other one grabbed me, just as a FUCK YOU.They're too tanky when closed, hit like a truck fast with erratic movements AND also build bleed so eventually you'll get killed even if you keep healing.So you gotta hit when one has an open cask and coincidentally that's when it can do its 1-hit-kill move.Utter bullshit

>>489940391Just died again in less than 15 seconds. Someone in a thread once said that no matter what happens, you can't die 10 or 15 seconds into a boss fight if you're at least trying to dodge.Well this is the exception, I try to dodge and still bet eviscerated with their random movements. Dodged one and got caught in the spinning combo of the other one.And I have 60 vig BTW, this is my endgame health.
>>489940391Abductor virgins are one of the more annoying and unfun enemies to fight.
>>489940464Problem is I know precisely jack and shit about the shamans. Bonny Village is pretty gnarly in general, don't get me wrong, and a whipping hut isn't gonna earn you much sympathy, but what caused the jarring? Why are they so blue and cold inside? Is there some long history between the hornsent and shamans? How did Marika become a god when her village was evidently commonly prey to a bunch of weirdos with butchering knives?
>>489940391they're more annoying to me than the elemental lion guardians in the dlc.
>>489940429we are tracing Miquella's footsteps. no one saw him yet.>>489940391>>489940639play time: 10 hoursif you're fighting the duo boss use a lightning weapon and take your time being aware of the fact most of their attacks come back and will hit you if you're near

>hornsent are le bad because... they just are!And yet they successfully trapped a lord of frenzied flame while leyndell throw their disliked babies into a pit right above the frenzied flame proscription...
>>489941102>hornsent are le bad because... they just are!every time someone say this i just assume they're that one marika gooner so all credibility goes to the trash
>>489940872Ended up winning by playing it super safe and using Banished Knight Oleg instead of my trusty Wolves, he managed to keep one entertained the whole fight. Still used all of my 9 flasks and nearly died.
>>489941102the hornsent are bad because they're deformed monstrosities that worship said those deformities as a divine gift instead of the obvious curse that they aredemons pretend to be angels and you should kill them
Any interesting lore drops or revelations or cool things they found? This game feels so dead

>>489941378>having a cool crest of horns is uh... it's a curse!It's a curse on humans maybe, considering omens have them twisting around into their own eyeballs. But horned warriors are gigachads and the guy named hornsent is the only npc besides ansbach and igon I actually like
>>489941524It's cute that Miquella would rather die with Radahn than live without him
>>489941378they're pretty cool though>>489941392there's nothing and doubt there will be anything other than the shamans lore people figured out 1 week in

>>489941524You're the one coping sorry anon.
holy gigachad of fextralife makes loreniggers seethe this village sucked, it would've unironically been better if they explained the coffins in cerulean coast were ufos from space and marika road to the planet on one
>>489941626wheres radahn>>489941861he's right though, it's ultimately pointless>uhh durr it makes you think that marika, the eternal item description was good at the startyeah blessing of marika implied this already
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1aTpf7M5O4k
Why are there feminine faggots in this game? GRR really let himself go, game of thrones was a hetCHAD series full of man-on-woman rape
>>489941861We see the coffins already. They came to the world through those coffins, we're given more lore in the dlc of the tibia mariners they're made based on those who guided said coffins through space. They settled in that village and underground.
I fucked yo bitch pussy, vaseline (yeah)
>>489942114Raping young boys was Japan's culture.

>>489941861I was surprised by how fucking empty that whole area was after seeing it hyped up. Hinterlands sucked dick
shaman village is fine, it being empty is kind of the whole pointit should've been bigger tho
>>489942557I got really drunk the other night with my gf and when I passed out it came to me in a dream
>>489940741the hornsent use the shamans and those they throw in jail as the innards of the pots, which is meant to turn them into saints. the guys with the butchering knives are the ones who help do it.the hornsent likely used the same people to make the divine gate, which is what makes "gods". marika managed to worm her way up the ladder and found a way to enter the gate via betrayal to become a god (probably by seducing a hornsent leader). then she came back and killed most of the hornsent in revenge.
>>489916718deflect should've been base kitstacking damage boost on tear/talisman
>>489941102they're bad because they torture and murder countless to create their pots, along with the divine gate.their ability to contain the frenzy flame wasn't as good as what was at the capital, though. mohg and his omens are far harder than jori.
>>489942564Yep, very pretty but it's just repeated erdtree sentinels (I actually enjoy fighting them so I was glad, but they didn't drop anything interesting so who gives a shit) and a fucking finger ruin, the worst areas in the dlc>>489942642Sure except it's supposed to be a big emotional moment from what I can tell but it didn't hit me. The frenzied flame proscription was significantly better. See, if they had melina appear in the dlc, they could've had her talk to you at the village and actually give a little concrete info. Instead we just have to speculate about shit and people are acting like it's actually a great moment and marika is now a heroic figure because she was oppressed as a child. Again I thought she was a fucking alien from space with the base game so it's all a bit boring now
>>489942719Headcanon
>>489916718Cheese tear for shitters.

>>489940319That decrepit hornsent bitch was coping that Marika managed to have so much of her disgusting kind slaughtered so she had to lash out at the Tarnished, though quite frankly, Messmer should’ve gone farther.
>>489942981The base game never actually says they're aliens they just say they're from another world. Which is true as the lands of shadow are now another world. The numen being aliens isn't actually all that interesting because most other big players are already confirmed aliensThe various gods outer and non outerMetyr The fingersOnyx lordsEtc. The entire plot for elden ring would then just dumb down to "lol it was aliems" which in itself is boring. Elden ring lore was never good or interesting it was always inferior to their older games' lore. What was fun was your headcanons not what was presented in the game
>>489943207Marika is such a whore literally every tarnished is open to fuck her so long as they get through the thorns. She's such a whore she fucking married and produced kids with herself (sure would've been nice to get some more radagon lore fromsoft). She's such a whore half of her kids were invaded by outer gods from birth. Total Earth Destruction, May Chaos Take The World
All From games have shit ass senseless lore that is irrelevant
Marika had a browned, overused stinking open-air-sewer of a dilapidated blown-out roastbeef pussy.

Personally I'm glad the Greater Will stuck Marika in a tree to shatter and suffer while shifting into her weird male form to try and repair the Elden Ring for centuries. Bitch didn't give good head and that's why the hornsent stuck her mom in a jar

I don't care about Marika did, the hornsent deserved what they got and worse still.
>>489943475this is completely wrong thoughthe base story of dark souls is perfectly fine

>>489945318>3 is sloppa3 is the perfect end to the trilogy. The story is top notch, a culmination of all that takes place before, and a capstone that concludes the story perfectly. You're a zero braincell dumbdumb if you don't think the Painterly Lady and the combined Dark Soul from Gael at the end of the world wasn't the best fucking send off they could ever have written. Complete 180 compared to Elden Slop
>>489923903Different planets within the same universe.If you had a rocket ship (or gravity magic like Radahn), you could fly from Lordran to the Lands Between. The protagonist from DS2 can teleport around via Things Betwixt. During the Elden Beast fight, you see the Erdtrees that have been planted on other worlds by The Greater Will.

Had a lot of fun doing seamless coop. Not only was the latency far more bearable when i play with europoors, having access to full healing and fewer OL phantoms was great. I do feel bad for some of the hosts who are clearly clueless, but it isnt as if im using stuff outside of limgrave, so its a fair fight. I like being required to kill all the phantoms, being able to call in reinforcement, and having your dropped runes where you invaded. Im still on the fence about torrent, but i found that hilariously fighting on foot against torrent is a lot easier since you have more control. But if they just run away, its a tedious game of cat and mouse that im just not a fan of.
What "treason" is the Finger Slaying Blade's description referring to? I wanted to connect to the whole Marika's "seduction and betrayal" thing (maybe she sliced open Metyr), but its all wishy washy. Also the DLC made a big deal of Marika being a Shaman, but the rest of the Numen in the base game seem completely removed from this. The Numen are miles underground in the eternal cities but also in the Shaman Village?
>>489945921You do realize that not everyone who dislikes 3 is an elden simp too right? Both are bad and filled with newfags
>>489947071what level did you invade at?
>>489941102They didn’t trap him though…Midra was resisting the FF entirely on his own. The moment he gives up he immediately turns into Sauron and the spiky sword doesn’t do shit

>>489913817Actually I consider DS2 the best one because it's the easiest one. Bosses at least. I have fun figuring out how to beat the level, but I hate getting stuck on Uberpowerful bosses crushing my little weak character.DS2 can give you a hard time making it to the fog gate but the bosses are simple to match your character
>>489947382It means she can piss on you while standing
>>489939319Genuinely enjoyable as fuck. I beat it on like 1 flask left and somehow survived the entire fight after fucking up the beginning.
>>489947382There's nothing to perform oral on. All her holes are sealed shut by fungal rot shit.>>489947796She can't piss.
>>489947603Messmer fed H*rnsent to it for fun.
>>489946978Considering 3 in isolation isn't fair. DLCs were always planned and honestly the base game ended ok. Far better than Elden Slop at least. You were given the choice to relink the fire, abandon the fire for a new age, or usurp it (i forgtet what that one meant). But it all made sense in its own way. Being an ashen one, getting the cinders, etc. Shit was cool.
>>489947961It is completely fair actually. Elden slop and slop souls 3 fanboys are the same kinds of niggers arguing who's less niggery when everyone just views them as monkeys.
>>48994724125. I suspect itll get more difficult later, which is ok, but ive faced zero ol phantoms, and invasions were near instant everytime. Its giving me day 1 invasion vibes. Ive no illusion itll get worse from here on out but the significantly improved latency and quality of connection are all i ask for.
>>489947909You can scrape away the rot.
>>489947126And I'm saying if you think there are lore problems with DS3 in comparison to ER you're a mong. You're free to dislike whatever you want but one story is objectively fucking incomprehensible garbage and one isnt
>>489947961I never said anything about 3 in isolation. Just that ringed city is the only good part of 3. I don't like playing 3 and just reload after doing the ringed city as the rest is a bore to get through. Likewise I only ever play elden ring to fight godfrey then reload because elden ring isn't good either.
>>489943840both sides are bad. that's kinda the point, anon. when people do bad things, people do bad things to them, and the cycle tends to repeat.
>>489948429It does have lore problems. No one said anything about elden ring. You should know as well as I that just because you're posting in am elden ring general doesn't mean the posts have to be about or even liking elden ring. This is just an elden ring themed soulsborne thread that's the most alive so I can shit on ds3 and er here freely
>>489948190>25every time lol
>>489947382>Hey want an interesting fact /erg/? The tarnished is standing oral height with maleniaImagine the smell.
>>489947382Imagine the smell.
>>489948429The original posts you're replying to didn't mention elden ring. Just ds1 and 2. No one's talking about elden ring but you. >>489945318
>>489947603>Miyazacki: don't ask me to explain shit
>>489947098The 'treason' that the Finger Slayer blade is probably referring to the Nox getting sick of Metyr's Jehova's Witness-style proselyting and subsequently ganking her for that IDK, the Shaman-Numens that were Marika's people were probably a fringe hippie group that broke off from the rest of the Nox and returned to the surface to be 'in harmony with nature' or something like that
>>489947071Anyone on Torrent can be stunlocked to death. It's fucking hilarious.
i admit that i did not read everything thoroughly but i do not understand the need to split all affected by the crucible to omens, misbegotten and dlc's hornsentaren't they all the same, varying only in the amount of animalistic features in them?
Anyone have a chart of the "intended" or "recommended" skibiddi levels for every boss in the DLC? I wanna go through them without overskibbiding
>>489947382I don't understand how rannifags could like ranniWe see from her corpse that she had a height taller than malenia close to marikasAn ass as fat if not fatter than marikasAnd had beautiful red hairShe was the perfect fusion of rennala, marikas, and radagon's genes. And she killed itShe doesn't even take a form similar to her old one when she becomes a god at the endShe stays as a genitaless dollYou could've had a 9ft tall, edgy, magical, redhead, nerdy, space witch wife with a huge assAnd she killed it.
>>489937858my fuarking HERO
>>489937858>>489949139I'm going to be honest. When I was younger and going through puberty I wanted to rape vengarl and sullyvan. Not be plapped by them but restrain them and shove my dick into them and force them to serve me and love me and only me forever. I also wanted to rape twilight princess Ganon. Years later I'm a mentally ill mid 20s twink who had about 8 more years until twinkdeath sits in and i still have a fetish for taller more muscular men than me. I understand why miquella wanted radahn. I truly do. He's just a mixture of all 3 of them. I have a fujo friend im thinking of throwing money at her so she can draw a picture of my tarnished NTRing miquella and stealing radahn from him because i can't draw for shit
>>489948507Fair man, I'm just a lore schizo and not really talking about the gameplay.>>489948646Minor in comparison to ER. Feel free to list your grievances though. DS3's story and lore have pockets of strangeness in a mostly comprehensible thread of events. ER's story and lore is a mostly incomprehensible stream of events with no rhyme or reason or even reasonable timeline.
>>489949532i hate gay people now
>>489945793Rennala is super mid.
>>489949139Vengarl is a favorite NPC of mine so to see him repurposed into the final boss of the DLC that I do not thematically like irritates me.

>>489949649Gameplay is bad. Lore is not good but less bad than elden ring. The issue with elden ring is that miyazaki went a little bit too far with the whole "I want people to interpret things so i can read them" he's done for each game. It's less concise and while all souls lore requires headcanon, with elden ring it went a little too far in the requiring headcanon area. It's like skyrim compared to starfield gameplaywise where in skyrim you had a full game that was vastly improved by mods and some mods were needed to keep the game stable but it was alright modless, meanwhile starfield was clearly made in a way so modders can just make the game for them. Miyazaki just overshot things lorewise, just like how he did gameplay wise too. Elden ring was too big for it's own good. I like the characters and world in elden ring more than ds3 but the lore itself is worse
>>489948652How bad is it at higher? >>489948871Can you backstab them when theyre off the horse? Couldnt see if we could deliver a critical attack but you couls backstab people who have fallen on their asses.
>>489949715If you want to hate gay people even more my friend and i catfish straight men together she'd give me pics of herself and id talk to straight guys to get nudes and vids of them doing embarrassing things hoping they'd get pussy it was shocking and great how many straight guys would bounce on a dildo for a woman. We share these pics and vids together and shed share what she collected by herself. She's my partner in crime.
>>489944585Hornsemites lost.
>>489949975Newb here. What is CE?
>>489948991Omens are significantly cursed individuals born to human. The intensity of their horns, often digging back into their own flesh, and their grotesque appearance means they are clearly different than Hornsent. Misbegotten aren't former humans. They are some flavor of beast transformed by the crucible.
I remember people advertising ER as different from DS because "this time there's real, live humans and the world hasn't been destroyed" and I'll give it there's a lot of colors but it's functionally the same.Everyone seems to have gone hollow or mutated God fucking knows why, even outside of Caelid with its Scarlet Rott. The peasant and nobles you find are literally copy pasted Hollows, just repeating their tasks to no end. The soldiers you fight 99% of the game seem to also be hollow, and if they're sane it makes no difference.
>>489947382She is not this much bigger than the player
>>489950314You catfished nobody with any self respect.

>>489950712Most straight guys lack self respect and you know this. Gay guys have even less.
>>489950098>Gameplay is bad. Lore is not good but less bad than elden ring.DS3's story and lore is amazing, you're just another one of those Elden Ring fanboys who can't stomach the idea of a previous game being superior.As for the gameplay, perhaps you can explain why making greatswords and curved greatswords shit to use in Elden Ring.
>>489950767They still have more than that. I've been single for 29 years of my life and have not once been led to do anything of the sort.
>>489950314That just makes me hate women more, not gay people
>>489950794You seem like a fanboy here. My post shat on elden ring too. I said the lore was better than elden rings. Stop being so defensive.
>>489950314Are women really this evil?
There are 0 weapons to use for a dragon communion build
>>489950963So why are you even here if you think both are bad?
>>489950794>shit on elden ring and say ds3 lore is better and why>you're an elden ring fanboy?????
>>489950767I really don't look down on other men for using dildos
>>489951132gooners make everything better
>>489950794DS3 even if it's stupidly cryptic at least feels like it's telling something grandiose I don't get what's the narrative value in Elden Ring, what are the themes? 60 hours in, level 79, I think I'm about to fight Radahn.Like with dark souls at least it's obvious the theme is depression, letting go of an era or holding dear what remains of it, etc.. There's a lot one can say about dark souls as a whole and 3 specifically makes it even more impactful, in the face of apocalypse now you even revive 5 previous legendary heroes to use as fuel, while in the past 1 was enough. It gets you thinking about what to do.Also Aldrich eating Gwyndolin who defended Anor Londo to the end just hits hard.I've heard a lot of NPCs talk to me in Elden Ring but I'm not grasping any underlying themes, it'd just Elden Lord this and Elden Ring that, and a lot of backstory / lore about the different Shard bearers.It seems to be way more focused on lore than on themes to make me care.
>>489951152Just run DS3's and Elden Ring's story intro side by side and then come back and tell me which one has a coherent plot.
>>489950794>DS3's story and lore is amazing
>>489951109I like certain aspects of 3 more than elden ring. I like certain aspects of elden ring more than 3. I think elden ring failed in many things 3 did well and in others improved upon 3. I dislike how many weapons and the lore feel compared to ds3. I like the characters and magic more in elden ring. I enjoyed the lands between more than lothric as settings but I also think ds3's smaller world makes it more replayable than elden ring. Ringed city blows sote out of the water. The pvp is more enjoyable in 3 simply due to the variety of spirits you'd see and fight clubs both of which have died in elden ring. I like both games but I'm willing to criticize both as well. I criticize elden ring more than 3 because it feels like bigger wasted potential yet I've found ds3 fans to be as delusional as elden ring fans yet I prefer interacting with ds3 fans more as they're less retarded and less new.
>>489951132Would
>>489951071what, you thought every single major religion since the birth of our species put restrictions on w*men's freedom for funsies? no its because the average w*man, if left to her own devices, becomes a stuck up bitch with daddy issues. Much like the average man, if left to his own devices, will devolve into a lazy sleazy fuck with mommy issues.
>>489951315Anon you seem so caught up in your need to defend that you fail at seeing when someone's agreeing with you. Again, the original replies didn't mention elden ring but ds1 and 2. >>489950098 goes into why elden ring lore is bad from a development standpoint comparing it to starfield.
>>489951281Like maybe ER's story would be good if you could actually join one of the houses and get to know their values and help them accomplish their mission or something.Set the game some years before so you can join Malenia or Radahn before their fateful battle.I'm just being infodumped about all these people with similar names and THEIR family issues, not mine, I don't care.
After beating the DLC, I can say that I didn't have as much fun as I did with the base game. Open world was less rewarding and open world enemies felt trivial and uninspired. The lore involving Marika/Hornsent/Messmer was very interesting, but felt underutilized, and the other half involving Miquella was barf. Bosses felt like there was too much memorization and trial and error since they're very difficult to read/react to. I get that most people here will really like it, especially the people who like actual difficult and not the illusion of it (ie.: the past FROM titles), want opponents who actually have intelligent lore accurate fighting styles, or just want to twist the game intro pretzels with crazy builds (like the 80 INT guy who two shot Radahn with Carian Sovereignty), but it's not my type of game. It kind of reminds me of playing an instrument, just that there's a loud asshole heckling you the whole time (that would be the nauseating camera and visual clutter that fills your screen and tanks your FPS in my simile). Sekiro tear and light greatswords were really good/stylish though (nothing better than using wing stance to stylishly jump over attacks) and I'd like to see more of this sort of stuff in later titles.
>>489945573yes. meaning, they were killing their own species, not just the numen and others. there's also hornless humanoid corpses at the divine gate.
I'm highly neurotic so I find Dark Souls 3 hard to play. There's a blanket of deep despair in the game that clings to me even after I've been away from it for a few hours. It makes me feel bad so I don't like playing it anymore.
>approach Igon>see a white spirit attacking the spot he's inwhy
ranni and miquella are meant to be akin to the fool's idolpeople manipulated into thinking evil is good
oh yeah? Maybe it came from your pussy. Your divorced pussy. Stupid bitch.
>>489951752It's probably because everyone looks like they're slathered in Vaseline.
Should I continue using Golden Order Seal with 50/50 int/faith or go 80 faith with the erdtree seal when doing DLC content?
>>489951752It is, I described the overall plot to a friend and he said "what the fuck that's just too depressing". It's like assisted suicide, your fights are kind of meaningless, you're just deciding how or when to end the world, and not to any meaningful degree, it already is fucked.
>>489950242>Can you backstab them when theyre off the horse?Haven't tried it. Usually when they get knocked off their horse I keep hitting the shit out of them until they die.

For INT players, does Cold dump all over Magic infusions? Seems that Magic infusion really only starts paying out at very high INT, and even then, Cold will do more damage if you're resetting the proc with fire damage.
>>489951709This is actually why ranni is the most liked character. She's the closest we have to an actual covenant or what you described. If you actually look at the cut content for base elden ring alone you'd see almost every questline was similar to ranni's in length and depth and made you feel like you were actually apart of something in world and not just a murderhobo. You could actually join mohg, millicent was malenia and grew attached to you as you aided her, you could side with miquella and he wasnt just a hypnorapist, Kale actually got a quest that gave a reason beyond reddit atheism to join the frenzy flame, sellen would allow you to purge yourself of the bloody finger and leave mohg's surface. Godfrey was an actual character and clearly your leader/ancestor it showed his relationship with marika was one of love and that he was in on everything from his banishment to the shattering from the start. Vyke had actual importance to the story and world beyond some frenzy nigger you fight in jail.
>>489952148fuck you, play bleed no magic is better
>>489952148yes, cold is best. some extra magic damage can't compete at all. it's akin to almost always wanting bleed over poison or occult if arc.

>>489952148>does Cold dump all over Magic infusions?It doesn't 'dump' on MagicIt 'shits' on Magic
>>489952256>>489952383Oh and yura actually had an actual reason for why he can't use his sword properly. He expresses a rush and fear because shabriri was genuinely eating away at his brain and sanityhttps://youtu.be/Mmu0lVOMTgM?si=uyWXYvSLmb_u3DcD
Omen and hornsent are the same thing.
Good morning, /erg/. I hate women.
>>489952148Cold is pointless for an INT user, it scales primarly with physical stats, and spells are better to inflict cold anyways.Ranni's moon will apply a magic damage debuff and deal like 400 frost at the same time.Adula's Blade also deals a ton of frost and is very spammable.If you want a Cold weapon as an INT user just get the Dark Moon Greatsword.
>>489952256Yeah, ER does feel narratively empty for an open world. Real lack of questing and NPCs to interact with. It makes up for it in other areas though.
>>489950950>>489951071>>489951596Egirl here. What's wrong with what anon posted exactly? Everyone fakes interest in others to get masturbation material from them don't they? It's not like she was helping him blackmail them or anything
>>489952256Ranni's quest is also the one that is least FROM like and most similar to other RPGs. It's very clear what you need to do and why you need to do it usually, and the story and characters are easy enough to follow, even in a huge game where you may drop the questline for hours to do your own thing. Just goes to show that just because something is a genre standard does not mean it's bad.
>>489952697>questing and NPCs to interact withI want to literally gut open world sloppers with a rusted knife.Go play a fucking MMO.
>>489952923How about you fuck off and play Dark Souls.

No, but seriously guys, what weapon am I supposed to use for Dragon Communion runs?
>>489952256How the hell was all of that in the game files and why tf did they cut it. It sounds like my grievances with the game are mostly fixed that way. >>489952697It really should have been more like Skyrim. Guards should stop you instead of attacking on sight, unless they've seen you kill their allies or something. And talking about guards, wtf are they guarding, there's no cities in Elden Ring. There should be little towns at least
>>489951752The DLC ending redeems this
>>489952256I want to see proof of this because I've seen fan fiction being used to troll people about cut content.
>>489953226dragon king's cragblade
>>489953276All of that stuff you can find vids for. There's more too not mentioned there. Imagine all of the cut cool shit in ds3 that would've made it better like the more important Sullyvan stuff, but crank it up to 1000x. Even melina had more to say and wasn't just an exposition dumper.

And talking about guards, wtf are they guarding, there's no cities in Elden Ring. There should be little towns at leastToo much work for FROM, and they're inexperienced at creating believable settlements. The last time they had villages in their games was King's Field 2. And the lore justification for getting attacked is that you're Tarnished. Everyone sees you as a nutty mass murderer out to steal ruins, slay their Lord, and/or despoil everything.As for populated settlements, they exist, you just never see or visit them. The Lands Between are abstracted. Leyndell itself is supposed to be so large that it would take days by horseback to travel between the outer and inner walls.
>>489953226moonveil

I still don't know how to dodge Bayles flying fire breath and radahns 3 hit scissor move.
>>489952874>>489952256Ranni's questline is shit. It has none of the magic that FROM quest should have. It just gives you all the information. >Get the fingerslayer blade from Nox. No other FROM quest does this. It should feel convoluted and shizo, with weird triggers for events and NPCs who misdirect, speak in metaphor, or don't even tell you what they want you to do. That's half the fun. >>489952697How about no. It's a dead world. No villages, no NPCs telling you to get ________ for me please and divulging their life stories in dialogue.
>>489953226Occult weapons and ARC sombers.FTH spells have low reqs, so just start as prophet and get the +10 tear and +5 talisman and you'll be able to cast literally every single DC incantation and a ton of regular ones while being able to focus entirely on VIG/ARC/MIND.

>>489952685>If you want a Cold weapon as an INT user just get the Dark Moon Greatsword.What if you don't like greatswords? I'm not going to dis on their viability; they have the best two weapons in the game and I would consider them the most powerful weapon class in the game, but I've never liked the feel of their moveset.
>>489953780No one says it wasn't shit. It's just that every other quest is worse. Ds3 ds1 and bb had the best npc quests.
>>489953226I use a spear/great spears because Dragoons in FF use spears. Wyvern knight/generals use spears in FE. Dragon Communion hunters use those communion spears.Slap Storm Assault or Crucible Wings and your set.
>>489947382This is the second time I see a post with a screen shot of some one I follow on Twitter. Hmmm.....
>>489953940You still have the option of using Cold Skills on magic weapons so you get both the procs and magic AR, most of them will build up frost really fast and Chilling Mist buffs your weapon with Frost on top of creating a mist that has a ton of buildup.Also resetting frost is pointless on pure INT builds because your damage is high enough that you'll be just wasting time by bothering with that.
>>489949113Sad, isn't it?
>>489953780The fact that Ranni's quest is a clear and concise quest instead of a schizophrenic mess of "I just ran into this dude in place A and then ran into that same dude on place B oh but he's now crazy cause I didn't meet him in place C"The quests are the absolute worst shit from From's games (aside from the shit ass worthless lore) and them actually making a quest that finally makes sense should get applauded, regardless of your seething feelings over Ranni.

>>489954640Rannifags and marikafags are subhuman and goldmask is the corrrct choice. Marika is dead at the end only a jar for the elden ring.
>>489954353I genuinely pity people who use garbage weapons due to being mislead by ingame scaling letters.The only good weapon you listed is the Bloodfiend Fork and maybe Arm, due to their scaling being the same as the Erdsteel Dagger and pre-nerf Smithscript weapons.It's the same as people who try to use the Sword of Night and Flame and Rellana's swords on a FTH/INT build just to later say that INT/FTH is complete garbage because they used it with shit weapons instead of using good weapons and skills from both INT and FTH.
>>489954640I like the open world.
>>489954640It captured some of the stuff I liked from Dark Souls 1 that no other game they've made managed to capture.
>>489954679NONOOONOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO
>>489954842>It captured some of the stuff I liked from Dark Souls 1 that no other game they've made managed to capture.Examples? Why not DS2, BB or DS3?

Your magic erdsteel and flame art clayman are shit.
>>489954640Demon's Souls, Dark Souls, Bloodborne and Elden Ring are literally a piece of art. It's like a Mona Lisa painting.DSII started off under the direction of Tomohiro Shibuya. It was going to be even more open world. They got a lot done, but Bamco came down on them and forced them to scrap half the game. They put Yui Tanimura in charge who had to pick up the pieces 6 months from launch. Bamco originally designated DS2 to be a PS4 game and then decided that nope, we're actually putting it on the PS3, which forced the downgrade. DS2 had half the dev time of DS1 because of the lost year with the first director that was shitcanned.Dark Souls 3 however is just a obligation using rehashed Bloodborne assets. It was just a cash grab more than anything else and you can feel the lack of soul in the game. Miyazaki didn't even really want to make it but he was under contract to Bamco.The Ringed City is directed by HIdetaka Miyazaki and is meta commentary on the state of Dark Souls franchise, which he accurately called a PILE OF RUBBISH via the ingame npc. It also gave a definitive his DEFINITIVE END to the IP and franchise. Miyazaki escapes into the painting, taking the BLOOD OF THE DARK SOUL (meaning the original inspiration and creative passion that made him make Dark Souls) and creating A NEW WORLD (new games) to ESCAPE TO. He confirmed in an interview that HE IS DONE with Dark Souls IP forever, he ESCAPED tha garbage that the Dark Souls IP has become thanks to Dark Souls 2 and Dark Souls 3. If a Dark Souls 4 is made in the far future, he won't be involved with it. He dabbed so hard on Bandai Scamco and the modern Souls "fans">Painter Girl is Miyazaki who wants to create new places (Bloodborne, Sekiro, Elden Ring, etc)Miyazaki is already talking about a new game that fit his ideal fantasy more than Elden ring.Tanimura also came up with the "light greatswords" weapon type by the way (Loyce Greatsword)
What if we were to port Dark Souls 2 into Elden Ring's engine?
>>489955180Why is Miyazaki even involved with Bamco at this point. Doesn't Fromsoft have enough money to fuck off and create what they want without any trash MBA suits barking at them
>>489955260It'd still be the worst game in the series. Do it with Bloodborne instead.
>>489954919Not giving them. Not Elaborating.
>>489955260Elden Ring is basically a remake of the Dark Souls 2 original concept >Demon's Souls map in Elden Ringhttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cF6ChqOC1Y8Now this is kino and looks better than DeSR
>>489954640I THINK /ERG/ POSTERS ARE CUTE I LIKE TALKING TO YOU ALL EVEN WHEN WE ARGUE
>>489955168There's no point in using "INT/FTH" weapons, because those are just split damage weapons.Most of those weapons don't even work like other hybrids, while STR/ARC or DEX/ARC get physical AR from both stats, INT/FTH weapons are split damage abominations where FTH and INT only scale their respective damage types.The thing that actually works with INT/FTH are the catalysts because those get their scaling number boosted by both stats equally.Dark Moon Sword, Moonveil, or a regular weapon with Waves of Darkness, Blackflame Tornado, Flaming Strike are going to be way better on a build like this because those skills are actually good and can be put on good weapon types.
>>489954640I prefer threads that talk more about characters and lore than weapon stats or pvp

>>489956069Wish you could make the arms and legs bigger. Wish there were a character slider for dragon forms. At least it beats ds3 by a mile.
Are there a loli mod?
>>489956008You're not getting anything from that "investment"It's just a fact that there isn't a single weapon in the game that gets proper hybrid scaling for INT/FTH(both physical and elemental ARs being raised by those stats alone like how every other hybrid works)At the softcap of the Staff of the Great beyond, 43/43, a Broadsword with a buff ash like Fire Spear or Sacred Blade will have the same AR of the SoNaF, but deal way more damage due to not being a triple-split weapon.
>>489956619>SPLIT DAMAGE IS LE BADIn PvP where flat resistances exist yes. In PvE split damage is a straight upgrade u less you're fighting a boss with sky high resistance (like over 50%) to your chosen element(s).
>Promised Consort """"Radahn"""">only has 3 gravity attacks, 2 of which shoot up huge amounts of rocks from the floor>NONE of his attacks in the base game shot up rocks from the floor, but tons of Godfrey's did (it's even the exact same VFX)>no horse or floaty movements, both vital parts of his original fight's mechanics and his character design>no bow despite bow attacks being a big part of his original move set>no ranged spells at all besides the one rock throw move despite his original fight having several ranged spells>his swords have completely different proportionsand yet...>sword combos are all very similar to the dual-axe Godwyn Death Knight>uses rock-shooting stomp attacks like Godfrey>uses several shockwave moves that inflict physical instead of magic damage and are grey instead of purple - unlike his original shockwave attacks but like Godfrey's>second phase has tons and tons of golden Holy blasts>both of his Remembrance Ashes of War are Holy, and his weapons deal physical/Holy damageYou will never convince me that he's not a reskinned Godwyn. Literally the only attack he uses that seems like something Starscourge Radahn would do is his reworked Rock Sling.
>>489954919By far the most interesting aspect of DaS to me was the way the world worked and connected around, looping back on itself and stuff like that, along with the openness to kinda tackle the (at least early) parts of the game as you want. Whatever path you took, you always knew you'd find something.ER managed to capture that. Yes, the Catacombs and Caves were all same ass barely dungeons but you always knew you could find multiple things there and while rarely you would find something for your build exactly, you could often find things that made you go "oooh I wanna try that" in some fashion. Going completely blind on my first run was the right choice (I played late so basically everything was already mapped out).None of the other souls games really capture that same twirling world design.DaS1 and 2 are basically straight corridors for the entire game. Bloodborne is PS3 jail and I've only been able to play it disjointedly so I can't opine on that.
>>489956735Why are you using Godfrey imitation as evidence he's resigned Godwyn you retarded lorelet? Radahn literally idolized Godfrey, him copying him makes perfect sense. Also this is moot because nothing in Radahn's animation or model data suggests he's connected to Godwyn at all. Contrast this to the Putrescent Knight who's model name suggests he was originally connected to the GEQ. Godwyn was never planned to be the final boss.
>>489956443What is going on? I used to be straight. Having sex with women used to be good. Doesn't anymore. Feels kinda bad these days. What's going on? Men used to wear their armor normally, now they're fags. And the Democratic party... wants this. California, used to be filled with Raisins. Now it's filled with garbage that I can't stop shoving up my ass. Thought Tree Sentinel was straight? Guess again, he's actually from Sacramento California. Growing up I had pictures of him all over my bedroom. I wanted to be a tough cowboy just like him but it turns out he's a california homosexual. Used to be able to upgrade your weapons on the fly, not anymore. Now if you want your weapons upgraded you have to bend over in a bathroom in front of AOC's boyfriend. What's going on?
>>489957030Kek, thank you for reading my dumb filename and making this. Cheers anon, I needed that chuckle tonight.
>>489950684yes, she is.
>>489957000>Radahn literally idolized Godfrey, him copying him makes perfect senseBut not as the Starscourge for some reason. And conveniently he doesn't use any moves actually specific to Radahn except for one that could've been reskinned at the last second and recycles old VFX.>nothing in Radahn's animation or model data suggests he's connected to Godwyn at allWhy does he fight exactly like a Death Knight?
>>489957234>Why does he fight exactly like a Death Knight?He doesn't and I'm tired of you retards insisting otherwise. First of all the death knight spin is VERY different from Radahn's drill attack you fuckers always use as an example and secondly Radahn did that exact same move in the fucking base game.
>>489956719I disagree about it being an upgrade, unless the numbers are higher it's pretty much the same thing.And like I said, the sonaf has basically the same AR of an infused ss, and much lower AR than bigger weapon types infused with an element.Rellana's swords are even worse because they aren't even triple split damage weapons, each sword is either phys+mag or phys+fire.I just wish From would've made a weapon similar to the coded-sword and cypher pata but with an INT/FTH theme and pure Fire/Magic or Holy/Magic AR, which would made sense considering all the Finger stuff in the DLC and the Staff of the Great Beyond.
>>489957137I have an intense urge to have Malenia cuddle me in bed like I'm a teddy bear
>>489954581is that onlyafro?
What boss did you have problems with that you don't see anybody else say they had a problem with?Me personally, even though they used to be complained about a lot more than now, any boss that has a Crucible Knight or two of them, I will falter immediately. Something about the Crucible Knight moveset just clicks some kind of button in my head and I can't play well at all against it.
>>489957813Malenia
>>489957813I legitimately hate runebears more than I hate Maelnia's waterfowl
>>489957456>I disagree about it being an upgrade, unless the numbers are higher it's pretty much the same thingAnd split damage is always higher than pure physical so I'm not sure what point you're making here. In PvE it's just better.
>>489957813This fucker. My build wasn't suited for him the camera fuckery and his constant teleporting and aoe gravity moves gave me a ton of trouble the first time I encountered him. Even now on my 6th playthrough he's still a fight I hate even if I beat him on the first try.
>>489957234>But not as the Starscourge for some reason.As the starscourge he wasn't conscious. He was a raging monster driven by a rotting brain. He's not going to use refined techniques he enjoys in that state, he's going to let his gravity powers go wild and fight like a beast.
>with enough fucking around with talismans and gear, you can use ansbach's bow at level 30neat
>>489958223Depends on the build honestly.Pure STR with a heavy 2h weapon and Cragblade or any skill that specifically boosts phys AR has higher numbers than pretty much all split weapons.And I wasn't talking about phys vs regular elemental weapons, but about single element weapons vs triple split ones.The only triple split weapons that I think are worth it are the FTH ones that have innate holy infused with Flame Art or innate fire infused with Sacred, because both their elements get scaling from the single FTH stat and they can even have a skill that buffs them with even more AR on top of that.
>>489958663Buffing skills like cragblade are boring and soulless.
>>489958238I still have no idea how you are supposed to dodge his shadow clone no jutsu one hit kill grab
>>489956735To be fair, i think Godfrey learnt that move from Marika / Radagon since Radagon has his own "stomp" version tooSame for Morgott
>>489958825I actually like a good chunk of the buff skills.Flaming Strike and Sacred Blade are good even without considering the buff.Messmer's stuff is cool too.The Roars are also neat because they buff your weapon and alter its moveset.I only use Cragblade when I want to buff a weapon that has a naturally fun moveset, like the Messmer Soldier Spear.

Is the Heavy Great Katana a good enough STR weapon to warrant getting 18 dex for it?
>>489959851It makes it easier to roll/sprint while controlling the camera at the same time. I didn't even know there was a name for it at one point, I just kinda started holding the controller like that one day once I got better at playing unlocked.

>>489962018>he doesn't know about the mimic veil queso Lol
>>489961784Maybe if you have like 20 vig lmfao
>>489960623>>489961403>>489960225You're all wrongIt scales best on dex
>>489962098So you're just shitposting and it doesn't exist then, got it. I'll ignore you now.
>get summoned for radahn haha, everyone is going to die and there’s nothing I can do to save them. Similar to how Malenia felt but somehow worse because he just gets an obscene amount of health when you summon
>>489954640Elden Ring doesn't actually do ANYTHING particularly well and FromSoftware only did it out of passionless obligation for Bandai Namco which drove them to buy the rights back so they don't have to again
>>489962220Does blackflame work on Radahn?
>>489961784Please post your RL125 quality build. I'm very curious to see your distribution.
>>489962220"Obscene" doesn't even begin to describe it. If you summon twice his health literally multiplies 5 fucking times over. It's genuinely disgusting how much health he gets.
I've heard this can work well for ER. Any of you complete faglords tried it?
>>489962542goodfuck coop niggersshould be 10x
>>489962561Why would you use this instead of the dlss/fsr mod
I'm on a STR build right now, but the Godslayer Greatsword feels really fun and busted even at +8. How should I respec to get the most out of this weapon?
>>489962572I don't care about coop. It makes him fucking impossible to fight if I want to bring my bois Ansbach and Thiollier because they make the fight 5 times harder since the boss has 5 times more health and they don't help AT ALL.
>>489962018I don't know if this works with mimic but I saw a video of a guy using stealth +rot +poison to cheese radhan
>>489962637It's mediocre. Wait for the DLC and use the fire knights greatsword instead since you can heavy infuse that and keep your build. It has the same R1s as the godslayer and better R2s.
good morning erg, what's new?Golden arcs are very good, does anyone know their posture damage values? I was surprised to see them break poise. Multilayered rings is even better at it, and both look very nice
>>489962635I like messages, bloodstains, phantoms and stuff. If they could implement that stuff in a seamless style mod I would play w. EAC off
>>489962784should've thought about that before summoning
I'm really not good at designing builds using online tools. How do you guys do it?
Anyone tried fighting PCRadahn with the sekiro tear yet? I'm not sure if it's possible. I've been doing a sekiro tear playtrough and it was fine for the whole thing, but phase 2 PCR has those pillars of light that keep stagering you even if you get the deflects correct, and they make it impossible to guard counter because you just get staggered out of the animation. I even tried it with 100 poise and the pillars still stagger you
>tfw repeatedly shitting on stormveil twinksI love it. It's better than killing password phantoms.
>>489962891If you beat Radahn without summoning them, you played on easy mode. YDBTG.
>>489963070I beat him with the Sekiro tear. The key is to mix blocking with rolling. You are gonna run out of poise and stamina real fast if you stick to blocking only
>>489962435yes but dlc bosses have special protection against black flame, some (including Radahn) lose 0.5% instead of 2% iirc. Someone in this thread same protection applies to other types of %-based dmg
>>489963071got any webms?
>>489963223But like, what did you do about phase 2? I just can't guard counter him, even if i have stamina the lingering pillars of light keep staggering me out of the GC animation
>>4899630715 bucks says you yourself are also a stormveil twink.
>>489963135Can you explain how the health scaling for that fight works? Does summoning just add an instant multiplier to his current and maximum health, or does it just add multiple healthbars worth of health to him?In other words, could you soften him up to 10% health, summon cooperators, and then only have to deal with a smaller increase to his current health than if you summoned from the start?
>>489957137>uneven surface I accept your concession.
>>489963254Unironically do you have a source for that? That's insanely fucking stupid if true, I'd start believing the "fromshart only cares about difficulty for difficulty's sake" memers if that's the case.
>>489956147>level 200 shitter can't make a build to save his life >less END than FP>fugly character I hope this is a shitpost anon
>>489963496gardenofeyes has a video about it, you can check yourself, anecdotal evidence from erg and other forums seems to agree with his testing
>>489963271>He does that four hit combo that end with an AOE "Stomp" Roll to his right / your left. Gotta learn the timing here, you get one free attack, heal after he is done>He does that four consecutive attacks where he dashes at you and briefly turned into lightSekiro, you get one free hit / heal after he is done. The timing is pretty brief though so you might want to just let your stamina recovers>He charges and turn into light, dashing at you Run to his right / your left. Roll / Sekiro if you are not confident that you are out of his range.>He gravity pulls you in and then shit AOE all over your faceYou either try to sekiro his pull or it is two heals easy here. I actually haven't managed to figure this one out yetI think the Radahn fight is all about learning about when to heal, when to attack and when to let your stamina recovers. You don't always have to guard counter when the opportunity presents itself, sometime it is more important to conserve your flasks / stamina
>>489940508Stop lewding good boy.
>>489952256Ranni won...
Do you think there's any connection between Rykard and Messmer? Specially the god devouring serpent and volcano manor. I've been wondering if volcano manor was Messmer's home before he was stricken from the records. And it feels weird that Messmer is cursed with some snakes or something but its not really elaborated on if that actually means anything.
>>489963347That's not how summoning works anon. You can't summon midfight.
>>489963664I don't need more stamina than the END I need to carry my gear provides, I use this logic for every single one of my builds and do fine in both PvE and PvP, why would I pump END more? It's a waste of points. Also 23 MND is required. My build is fine and I look great, you're clearly upset though so I hope whatever you're going through gets resolved soon bro.
>>489964332I think those are the same species of snake, just that Messmer snake was sealed / suppressed by Marika and the only thing it fed on was his Giant flame. Rykard snake got all fat and stronk from all the people he ate
>>489961223There’s a exception to the rule, for some reason guardian swordspear rejects the fuck out of anything that isn’t keen.
>>489964332It doesn't seem to be the same kind of snake since mesmer's has no mention of the whole undying thing, which is a big part of rykard's>>489964334
>>489921549>>no frenzied sorceriesIt feels like this is begging to exist since there's a conspicuous absence of any sun themed sorcery and frenzy flame would fit that perfectly.
>>489925093ds3. poisecasting sunlight spears was hilarious and based. And it was very rare for fights to be over in one or two seconds.
>>489964467>>489964609It would be funny to think about. The land's between just has a local species of snake that can possess and devour gods if you arn't careful. Them being two unrelated snake gods is pretty weird though, it would be like if Messmer had a rot based power but was completely unrelated to the scarlet rot, just looked a lot like it and had a butterfly motif as well.
Do thorn incants bleed build up get buffed by arcane scaling stats at all?
>>489964985You mean sorceries? There aren't any thorns incants. That said, yes, they do, but ONLY if your staff you're casting with also has ARC scaling.
>>489933854faith
>>489965082Oh yes, my bad. Yeah i knew they were cast with staves but somehow i thought theyre incant. I found the calculator and yeah no wonder 45 arc is consideres the softcap you get a massive boost drom 30 to 45
>>489964448could have 50 mind at that level
>>489955180I maintain that DS2's story is commentary on the game's development. Vendrick is the original director who went mad and his work left unfinished and his kingdom in ruins, Nashandra is Bamco who ruined it all driven by greed, Aldia is Tanimura left to make sense of it all. Shanalotte stands for DS2 as it was ultimately released, by her own word born imperfect.
>>489965610I don't need 50 MND. I can justify every single stat point in that build.>60 VIGObvious>23 MNDNeeded to cast all my buffs from a full FP bar and for some of my incant combos I use in PvP. I need exactly 23, no more no less.>21 ENDNeeded to carry my shit and I don't need more stamina.>22 STRNeeded to one hand the sword, which I do quite a bit for casting.>70 DEXPrimary AR stat on the sword (blood infused) and gives me the cast speed cap.>38 FTHNeeded for Blessing of the Erdtree>45 ARCBleed cap on the sword and cast cap on the DCS.Literally not a single point to spare and even if I had any, I'd just be lower RL. This is the logical stopping point for the build.
>>489965903Based hyper-specialised optimiser.
>>489939664>belly that flatYour Great Jagras looks hungry, be careful.
>>489955835Who gives a fuck?
>manga seluvis threaten to puppet roderika and nepheli without your help if you disobey himIf pidia was not immune I'd make killing him the first order of buisness on every playthrough
What is the formula for spell or incant damage/spell status build up?
The game would improve if they got rid of open world dragon fights.
What's the best emote to hit tryhard twinks with? Teabagging is too crude. Pointing down is too basic. Clapping is too ambiguous.I'm thinking the cower in fear emote would be good.
Whats the lowest level any of you queers have twinked through the DLC?
>>489966374Don't you think it would be pretty cool to have Roderika and Nepheli puppets?
>>489966495It depends entirely on your chosen catalyst. Also status build-up doesn't go up unless you level ARC and your catalyst has ARC scaling. It's worth noting however that Bloodflame incantations don't go up in blood build-up with ARC, but they are the only exception.
>>489966582you're a fucking carian knight build, just hit it w your BBBAA>big blue bow and arrows>>489966591waving while spinning in a circle, then spam two hand LB, then backstepping until disconnect
>>489966709>you're a fucking carian knight buildHe's not, check again.>>489966582>STR/FTH build dressed like a carian knightDisgusting.
>>489966582>main game dragons are by design easier to fight by targeting the head, everyone is happy>DLC dragons will not stop moving and will not give you any opportunity to hit them on the head at melee range, back to the good old whacking the legWhy.
>>489966582>Carian Knight uses FTH
>>489966745nigga eeeeuuuuuuu
>>489966591>emoteNone, the instant they're dead act as if they never existed, make them feel how unimportant they are despite their main character syndrom.If you tbag them or something else they'll say to themselves they deserved to win but you had host advantage.If you ignore them they will have no choice but to admit they are nothing
>>489957456>Rellana's swords are even worse because they aren't even triple split damage weapons, each sword is either phys+mag or phys+fire.This pisses me off to no end. they're just shitty weapon art sticks. LITERALLY no different from just using a magic and a flame art milady in both hands. In fact, that would do more damage.
>>489966616All I did was collect the blue dew for my 22 +3/1 mage.
>>489966669Why stop there? There are more women in the lands between. Seluvis/Pidia is my role model.
the dex cast speed meme is a stupid meme which is only possible at level 200.Only at 200 can you afford to put 60 points into dex and still think about hitting all the requirements for casting spells.
>>489965903>>60 VIG>ObviousActually, 54/55 is the most optimal vig point to stop at. Beyond that you are investing 5 whole points into vig for literally less than 100 HP.>Needed to cast all my buffs from a full FP bar and for some of my incant combos I use in PvP. I need exactly 23, no more no less.Can always do with more, it saves you a flask sip considering that you need over 40 mnd before you can't fill an entire blue bar.
>>489966961Okay? And? At lower RLs get 40 DEX and use the Radagon Icon you retard.
>>489966582The game would improve if the fucking camera could be zoomed out. Like 80% of the difficulty reading bosses is down to the camera not letting me see what it is they're doing.
Next person that mentions ds3 is getting their butt stuffed by me
>>489967001Nah I need 60 VIG, I'm in NG+7 and beyond. The amount of times I've survived in PvE and PvP with sub-100 HP is astounding.>Can always do with moreNope, I only need 23. Pumping MND to capitalize on the blue flask is only something I'd ever consider on a pure caster (which I find boring, so none of my characters do this).
Midir is a better boss fight than any dragon in ER. They really peaked.
>>489966745>>489966810>>489966819>caring about this kind of stuffEven my autism doesn't run that deep. I don't care what I look like.
>>489967234Nah Placidusax is the best dragon boss in the entire series. True kino.
>>489967195>The amount of times I've survived in PvE and PvP with sub-100 HP is astounding.If you think so, personally I've never needed the extra ~71 HP, but I can't count the number of times I need just one more point in end or just a couple more in some base req in order to to really open the build up.
>>489967234Alright lube or not?
>>489967278youre why the RPG genre is dead
>>489967319I've just gotten really good at stamina management on a budget since it's fundamentally the same as energy management in armored core which I've been playing since the PS2 days. I don't like spending points on END for anything aside from carry weight since the stamina gains are just so damn small. It's worth noting though that I do pump END on shield builds (and my build with the Star-Lined Sword because holy fuck that thing is a gas guzzler) for stamina, typically to 34, but that's just so I can block the world. I definitely don't need more MND or any of the damage stats though. You could argue I could push DEX to 80 for the AR cap, but since it's blood infusion the AR gains are small, even if it is the primary stat. Once it stops double dipping into cast speed DEX just ain't worth it for this build anymore.
>>489966825Pairing Rellana's sword in the right hand with a Magic Milady actually makes the weapon a lot more bearable and it has decent AR and access to the 1h moveset of the LGS.
>>489967527THE RPG GENRE IS DEAD BECAUSE I CANT LICK MELINAS OR SELLENS OR NEPHELIS OR RYAS OR RODERIKAS OR RENNALAS OR RANNIS OR LEDAS OR MARIKAS FEETThis is how you sound.
>>489967569Btw
>>489967649dang
>>489967720You good lil bro?
>>489967749Yeah I bet you're so fucking upset there's not a cutscene of you tongue cleaning ledas feet after she stomps out the hornsent in her boots aren't you? Cringe
>>489967843is you good
>>489967279Eh, he's not that special. My +10 Latenna shot them full of holes.
>>489967931Fight him without spirit ashes and you'll actually have fun.
>>48996700150 vig is all that's needed
Alternative ending where if you do Ranni's quest before the DLC but also told her about Seluvis plans, then do the DLC and Sir Ansbach's quest but come back and tell Ranni her brother is being manipulated, you get her summon before Radahn in the DLC but it wears her on your back.Then if you have the Amber starlight still and fight Radahn down to 10 percent health and let him grab you on purpose and use the amberlight that was meant to turn Ranni into a puppet while in a grab, she'll grab Miquella and give him the amberlight forcing him to be a puppet for you and you get an alternative dlc ending where you get to free Radahn and he becomes an NPC that sits around his boss arena like Renalla did and offers free duels against him any time you want so you can replay the boss infinitely and save Radahn.
>>48996800510 VIG is all that's needed
How do you guys know which cracked pots and other limited items you've grabbed god FUCK this skress me out
>>489968005Nah you still get respectable gains up to 55
>>489968084Or you can get him as a summon for radabeast and he promises to help look after the world after you and ranni fuck off
>>489967843I'd find it hot that Leda curbstomped a hornsent regardless of whether or not I get to caress her legs and kiss her thighs
>>489968084alternative ending where rya rides on your back during the fight and says 'oh!' cutely when you get hit
>>489968215I don't want 55 vig. Stop being jewish. A nice even round 50 looks better. 55 gives me the shakes and a headache I need every Stat to end with a 0 or even number last time i didn't i overleveled and ended up scratching my arm pretty badly irl.
>>489968313>50Get 40 chud.
>host completely covers Messmer with Rotten Breath>can't see him beelining towards me with the grab attack>get grabbed and dieNext time I see a host use a breath attack I'm gonna Thiollier Concoction myself out of spite
>>489968197map markers
>>489968352No. I'll beat you with a ladle.
>>489968313You're the one being Jewish by refusing to spend stat points like precious shekels. Get 60 VIG Goldstein.
>>489968313I almost cut myself when I accidentally wrnt a higher level than I meant to but I figured out how to use cheat engine to reduce it back down and so didn't have to make a new character
If you think about it if you could get rid of the mold over malenia's vagina it's probably disgusting looking. You remember blue waffle? It's likely that by red, red from the iritation on her skin, red from the rot itself, instead of queefs it'd be mini versions of the rot breath smell, shed probably have puss filled growths around and in her vagina as well, that area would be permanently raw in intense pain like she'd likely take more damage from you sticking your cock into her than attacking her normally
>>489968313I actually stop at 54 because that brings you up to 1793 or something. And it matches with the str 2h hardcap and a couple other specific stat caps.
>>489968313>>489968451The mentally healthiest Elden Ring players btw
>>489966582Game would improve if they didn't cater to shitter retards like you
>>489968672Fight still looks like shit lol
>>489968672>meleeDisgusting. I mean, I do it, too, but it's still disgusting.
>>489968637Thats pretty hot, I'd stuff some CE'd boluses up there and go to town. Slurp slurp nigga.
>>489959826>The vision of what DS2 has definitely lived on in Elden Ring and became what DS2 was unable to do due to the many problems that game had Source: your retarded ass>They both tell the story The story and characters couldn't be nothing further away from Dark Souls 2. There's a lot of Dark Souls 3 plot beats and characters, and the idea of a large land with visible landmarks as you traverse the world was lifted from it.
>>489966674Isnt spell buff just a part of the formula?
>>489968864If you think about it if we sided with miquella he'd likely have cured malenia of her rot as a god as that was one of his goals. If you also think about it he would've seen how powerful we are and how we rival at minimum and at maximum surpass malenia in strength, malenia herself even saying that, he'd likely take us as his blade. And with his age of compassion I'd imagine miquella wouldn't mind if we married his sister, he'd likely encourage it to retain our support without needing to brainwash us, wouldn't need to brainwash us when malenia's freshly opened pussy can do it for him, allowing him more time to enact his age and have 3 of the strongest living beings in the setting, malenia, radahn, and us as his loyal followers. Us acting as miquella's blade, malenia acting as miquella's blade and our sheath, and radahn as his elden lord
>>489969156It's the entire formula. Incant damage goes off of spellbuff and spellbuff alone.
>>489969235Want to know a secret? There's literally a cut dlc ending where he demands we marry malenia. So you were right but they cut it. Likely because no one would choose any other ending since theyd be able to marry best girl whod be rot free and safely fuckable.
>>489969271THE DAMAGE COMES FROM SPELLBUFF AND SPELLBUFF ALONE!
>>489969451I'd take lessons from Mohg.

What's the actual reasoning behind stuff like last minute quest replacements and rewriting the entire DLC plot etc.? Most of that stuff was likely finished and playable so would players really not have liked that version of Elden Ring?
>>489966317kek viglet with a shit build
