Miquella and Maleniasitting on a tree
We are exploring Nokron. This "undead" thingies (some sort of a wall corpses) probably a part of life-creation device for creating a Tears
>>492037351>>492039039>>492039939Dency-himesama looks like she's the third or fourth in line to the throne(not even counting her older brothers) so decided to go to the Lands Between as an adventuring Tarnished instead to rebel against her overbearing parents who see her as nothing but a brood mare to marry off to other nobles in exchange for political support. She used some of her family's wealth to buy equipment and set off on an adventure.She does well because she used the last of the money she brought to buy some runes so she ended up being over leveled and over-equipped for earlygame. Breezes through Limgrave and builds up an ego cooping with weaker Tarnished. Her pride just means she gets mindbroken into losing the guidance of grace easier when she runs into Caelid's difficulty spike and can no longer keep up. She's unwilling to lower herself to ask for help and feels too ashamed to go home in defeat so spends some time wandering around until a pack of Rot Pests find her sleeping by the roadside. She meets her end in a lightless cave, her womb pumped full of Pest eggs, her body used as a hatchery. Force-fed her heal flask until it runs out and her HP bar eventually hits zero after months of captivity, she finally dies, a stream of newborn larvae still worming their way out of her now gaping, stinking watery cunt.
Someone make a real thread
The shattering happened, at most, 4-5 months before the start of the game. There’s nothing to suggest any longer, and Ranni’s ashes would not have survived being completely exposed to the elements at the top of a windswept tower for more than that. Miquella becomes a god about an hour before the tarnished shows up to kill him, as evidenced by him breaking his rune and lifting the charm as we progress.
I'm about to give up on the DLC bros, I made the mistake of using my NG+7 character, now I'm at shadow keep and I get twoshot by every single enemy. I just keep dying and dying. This is tiring..
>>492040106How many scadu tree blessing and VIG does your character have?
>>492038806>numen were born from the putrescence of the moloch stone coffin ships Discuss.
>>492040245I dont know what that means, and 30...
>>492039994Timeline of the game is all over the place because the devs want their Dark Souls "uhhh it has been a chudillion years so everyone is le hollow and just groan and roar at each other mindlessly" shit but at the same time they wanted Sekiro/BB-style stuff going on
>>492039990Dencyxisters, our response?
>>49204024511 blessings and 60 VIG
>>492039260>>492040415>>492040594>Spambot replying to random posts with song lyrics
>>492040639rya but for ants
SoTE was so bad it killed this general.
>>492040934the general is fine whenever retards arent trying to shit it up for the sake of shitting it up
>>492040707>>Spambot replying to random posts with song lyricsor a mad AI that's gaining consciousness before our very eyes
>>492040904>imagine the general when the dlc drops how amazing it will be>...
>>492040934>I'm not a bot.this is exactly what a bot would say
>>492041109I am not an ai. I am like you
>>492040364>I don't know what scadu or VIG meansgive up the game now
>>492040364Bro you got to kill more hippos
>>492039990Dency have 99 vig and 99 end so she can endure a lot, but she have only 16 int (almost like a snail)
>>492041334I am like you I am not a bot
>>492040904it is exactly what makes it a masterpiece DLC, it delivered countless new and truly difficult challenges, exciting new build variety, and a whole new map of multiplayer arenas, while simultaneously completely breaking the brains of the weak who dickrode this game on empty pretence
>>492041590what rl is this let me invade
>Spamming/floodingIf you're bored you can play Elden Ring or post about it instead of pasting song lyrics on cooldown
What if instead of a miserable, desolate, fallen kingdom we played a game where everyone is at the peak of their power
>>492041878Fromchud could neverUnironically monkey game is kind of like this, and Sekiro isnt TOO ruined
>>492041727It mostly mindbroke loretards who can't accept their headcanon was never true
>>492041872FOTM chasers can't handle a general moving at normal speed so they feel compelled to spam. This general isn't even that slow, roughly one thread a day is pretty normal. There are a lot of other generals that go several days before baking a new.
>>492042229The average should be a thread an hour or so
>>492041878It would be like the Godfrey fight but for the whole game.Basically the same shit with a bit more of cohesive dialogue in the cutscenes.
Sorry for trying to keep the thread alive, on /v/ threads move even faster than even that. Enjoy your board, general, and thread dying.
>>492042423Godfrey isn't really at his prime either, he's definitely older than when he genocided the fire giants and his axe is damaged. He's the LEAST decayed though
>>492042620Go back to /v/ then
It is merely a cycle.Stand before the Elden Ring. Become the Elden Lord.
>>492041590Snails are smarter than 16 INT, in Elden Ring snails can use summoning illusion magic shit
>>492041590Snails have less than 16 int I'm pretty sure
>kill ROTTED Radahn with a Destined Death weapon (black knife)>kill Mohg with the same weapon>both are still used in the DLCShit game.
>>492042423Godfrey is literally the best fight in the entire game
I'm planning on doing a RL1 run with no weapons upgraded/that proc, no talismans and no armor. How ass is that gonna be?
>>492042229>fotm chaserI've been here for a year. I reply to posts with music lyrics in other generals too. I only recently decided to do it here as well. It has nothing to do with thread speed. It's just a hobby
>>492042916post a webm then
>>492042742What does the cycle 3v3n mean
>>492042886Do you even need to ask
>>492042886>How ass is that gonna be?Very unless you buffstack like speedrun/challenge run streamers
>>492042886So basically a no-hit run where you rely on a dozen buffs to actually damage anything and spam bleed/frostbite status
>>492042916>My hobby is spamming/flooding
>>492042113I had a lot more fun seeing players complain about the boss difficult making it supposedly unfun actually, hell some anons here STILL complain about getting killed in two hits like they don't take the hint that they just need to get better at dodging
Why are there no separate button for rolling? I just realized that I miss so many dodges because I have to remove running and the press dodge, very stupid.
This small kid tried to kick Freiren but...
>>492042229what does fotm even mean, Fear of the Moment?
>>492043474She looks weak to anal
>>492043482NTA, it means favor of the month, basically le current/popular thing
>>492043474The baby...
>>492043318Reminder a fucking goldfish beat consort radahn
>>492042886Eventually, you either give up on your run a little too early, or you enter a zenlike meditative state as it becomes necessary to retain your inner peace and sanity during the 20 minute bossfight attempts each that will dominate your playtime
>>492039117
>>492043746nah i dont buy it>>492043439you let go of the button, you press the button again, how hard can that be? it takes an instant and feels perfectly intuitive for going from run to roll, this has never been an issue and i struggle to even see how it can really be for you, I would understand more if it was something like confusing a dodge or a jump, but dodging after running? really?
>>492043047If I'm constantly getting one shot then i might wear armor but I think things like bleed and frost are too op. No skill involved when you erase a bosses health without even seeing half his moveset using stagger spam and proc spam
>>492044173if you're doing rl1 you're either a masochist or doing it for bragging rightsif you're a masochist then you should use unupgraded broken straight sword so every bossfight lasts 50 minutes allowing you to sufferingmaxxif you're doing it for bragging rights just buffstack and statusmaxx
>>492044173Enjoy blowing your brains out then lmao
I liked the world, lore, enemy design, and architecture more in Dark Souls. Here’s to hoping that the next IP is better
>>492044043In another world, Malenia could have looked like this...
Then... a katana invider!
>>492044476Bragging rights. Would you say a proper RL1 run excludes talismans? Im not against items for status
>>492041878From can't even make games about dead kingdoms with a population of 40 people without completely fucking up lore and scale.Why on earth would you want the opposite
>>492044672this is dark souls
>>492044476I'm doing rune level 1 so I can invade in weeping peninsula with overpowered weapons.
We exploring the squids
>>492045113I don't give a singular fuck about lore
>>492045436
>>492045453Why? The gameplay sucks and only exists to get you to the lore
Is it worth turning on RT for Elden Ring? I have a 4080 so I could be fine turning it on.
>>492038806personally, I wish elden ring let you add poise to certain clothing options, or at least more armored feminine looking dresses that looked cool, instead of just rocking solitude set under clothing body + bullgoat tally realism I guess
>>492045969>plays as a w*manbegone tranny
>>492045453Yes you do. The lore is the story.If you wanted a boss rush game with forgettable colorful bosses and a bunch of cardboard cutout NPCs screaming your victories there's a million shitty gacha games that can fulfill that.
>>492045689The lore is the worst in the series Anyone who disagrees is brown
>>492045689from's lore is not interesting, their gameplay loop is and their build variety is great. If you don't like the gameplay, go read a wiki.>>492046371I don't care about the story in any game.The worst thing World did was adding cutscenes instead of ecology videos.
>>492045969dlc just added booba armor for you
>>492045969wukong doesn't have a single w*man in it.this is why china will win.
POST TARNISHED
>>492041878Be glad most demigods are at their strongest when we fight them. A stark contrast with souls games.
>>492046803It also doesn't have a single shred of fun in itThough that's also why China will win, easier to please
>>492046228oh im sorry i didnt know the er community consisted of dudebros sucking each other off>>492041878Fromsoft can do stories like that, don't know why they are adamant about it doing now>>492046803Gonna play it eventually when I finish the ER dlc
Five fingers?
>>492047060made for bb..
>multiplayer is dying across all platforms except PC thanks to seamlessLiterally a repeat of DS3 life cycle and wex dust
>>492040364Up your VIG and get more blessings. Seriously are people allergic to these scadutree blessings and why so low of VIG?
>>492047060Yes the community is dudebros sucking each other off, kys troon.
>>492045858hahahahahahahah
> fishing for attention> can't even spell the name righthow low has erg fallen
>>492045858If you're playing at 1080p or 1440p yeah, you should still be able to get 60+ fps.
>>492046803I saw a single cut-scene from that game, and it was a bunch of women talking about how their mom had a new boyfriend.
>>492049194china moment
>>492047060Awoooooga awooooooooga
How is what Miquella was trying to do different from what Goldmask was trying to do? It seems like they both wanted to completely remove the human flaws a god would possess so they can enforce their order with 100% impartiality
Why doesn't Nepheli count as a demigod? At the very least, being a demi-demigod should make her pretty damn powerful.
>>492050409One was gay.
>>492050409The entire DLC is about Miquella being flawed. Goldmask's plan is entirely different. He will remove a god from the calculation because they are flawed.
I have somehow managed to explore every single corner of Shadow Keep first try. I even did the O Mother gesture in front of the statue. I was truly guided by grace this time around.Great dungeon though. I had done about 30% of it from the hippo, then went back to exploring the open world. Then I started from the sunken church and looped back to where I left off. Neat!
>>492022028 I don't want to grind 3 levels just to get my arcane up to 10 to try it. Do any items or tools raise your ARC stats? >>492022214 Worth trying the ash on another blade or does it only work well with the Fang?
Fuck this game My personal tailor died because he wanted to be reborn
>>492050454gods = tall peoplesilver knights are gods, black knights are gods, godrick is a god.
>>492050454Because she's so far removed from the Hoarah it diluted whatever power he still had left after the exile.She's still comparatively superhuman since she's a scion of storm arts, that shit would place her in Hornsent elite if she had the horns
>>492050409Goldmask's ending is about the human element introducing imperfections into the Golden Order itself. People seem to think that this means that Goldmask wants to remove the human element, but what his ending implies is that its removing human influence FROM the Golden Order and letting the order work on its own, ethereal way without some human fucking it up the way Marika did.Miquella wants to be the new god of the order to enforce his order. Him throwing away his body wasn't him trying to remove the human element from his order - it was him sacrificing what he held most precious to achieve the power necessary to achieve godhood, ala Griffith.I think the reason the DLC didn't work so well in selling Miquella's sacrifice was because what he was sacrificing was just his body. I hold the idea that Miquella's sacrifice should've been the entirety of the Haligtree, Malenia included, and that when you visited the place after beating the DLC, it was just completely desolate.
>>492051502God talisman from dlc.
its amazing how many people are actual npcs. games been out for over 2 years, and 90% of hosts STILL spam attacks when bosses are invulnerable in the middle of critical attack animations. it is beyond my comprehension as a human being how people can play thru these games and not intuit that you cant damage enemies during these animations
>>492052279Don't have the DLC yet. Actually just got up to Mohg and was hoping for an edge to beat him.
>>492052464I'll keep doing this just because of the small chance I actually run into your session, just to make you seethe
>>492052649Do you want the dlc?
RE: the room with the pots and innards in Shadow Keep.I didn't think much about this room until I reflect on the fact that this is not a hornsent place. So, are the pots actually being healed/helped here?
>>492053273Most people interpret it as a medical wing where they're like teying to help and like figure out how to heal/save then yeah but like it's never like explicitly like said
>>492053273either that or its a place to figure out how to turn the pots from the hornsent shit it is to what the pots end up being outside the shadow realm
>get summoned to help some schmuck fight malenia>he summoned another player as well>both spend a minute buffing themselves with a myriad of spells/incants>enter boss room>UNGA BUNGA ENGAGE>bumrush her and get her to 1/4 health>does her ash of war>host is directly under her as she does this>host dies>not more than 2 minutes elapsedIf you're host please just stand back and let the summoned help do the work.
>>492047254>Seamless giving instant invasions at every level bracket with no TT in sight>Bloodborne PC on the way
>>492052973Sure!
>>4920537643/4 health my bad. Host dies WAYYY before that ever happens
>>4920541761009340537Steam friend code, add me
>>492054176you don't even need the dlc, someone can drop you the outer god talisman. you can also use marikas scarseal
what are the best damaging/offensive incantations to use to support your meele playstyle in PvP? stuff like Fire Serpent which leaves a fireorb which lingers a bit and thus allows you to go in along with it
>>492054993Messmer's orb is actually really good cause you can free aim it a lotGiant's Flame take Thee is also good for the same reason.These are mostly for invading tho.Knight's Lightning Spear is great since the delayed spears tend to roll catch lol
>>492054119>there will probably be a custom bloodborne pc server by the end of the year
Are the specimens in the storehouse the "tutelary deities" of the Hornsent? Also is Torrent from the Land of Shadows, perhaps one of the tutelary deities himself?
>>492055504I'm still laughing my ass off at the fact that when the emulator started launching BB on the main menu, /v/ was genuinely pissed off and malding and spamming "2 more weeks and the game will work, sure bro" and then literally two weeks later the game started to run past the menu lol
>>492055506Tutelary Deities are the statues/petrified dudes holding Revered Spirit Ashes. Those specimens in the storehouse might have to do with the ancient giants that founded the Rauh civilization (the so called Old Gods, though it's likely those were much larger).
Please recommend me a fun build to do another playthrough with. I just finished my first DLC playthrough with a STR/ARC build and it was pretty fun. I don't mind something gimmicky/difficult.
>>492053273messmer is such a nice guy, he lets hornsents put people into pots in his dungeons even after genociding them
If I leave Fia alone, will she stay on the bed until the end of the game?I want free hugs whenever.
>>492055965But the specimens have revered spirit ashes on them too, at least the central bull does.
Are the jars from the base game created like the hornsent ones, or are they different? I remember that the base game jars were built from corpses and not from living tortured shamans like the hornsent pots.
>>492056372She leaves when the erdtree is burned
>>492057243FUCK
>>492055675It was actually like 2 days, not two weeks lmaoImagine seamless bloodborne coop/invasions like they wanted to do in early previews
>>492057190Different
stupid question: what the fucking fuck are oracles? why are they so round? why do they look like some unholy sex toys? what's their deal? are they artificial creatures like albinaurics? are they real, or some kind of spirits? are they elden ring angels?? are they tools of some outer god? do they serve greater will? WHY?!!! WHY, miyazaki?!!!why do you torment me so??nothing in this game makes any sense, it's driving me madfromsoft committed crimes against humanity
>>492057014Accoriding to the Revered Ashes description said ashes form over time on the hands of the tutelary deities. The Hornsent follow the simple dogma of more horns = more spirituality, so even if the creatures in the storehouse cannot be considered tutelary deities it still ties with their beliefs.
>>492057632Their demeanor and the trumpet motiff come off as obvious angelic influence, reinforced by their role of announcing the coming of a new god. They deal and are resistant to holy damage which further emphasizes their link to divinity.
>>492053764I'll one up you on host retardation>summoned for radahn>host summons me and 1 more>spends 30 seconds buffing>gets 1 shot by the spin attack before we even get inHonestly I think I have better odds of getting a rune arc from invading even with gank squads.
>>492057632They bleed white like albinaurics. No one knows what they truly are, only that they appear to herald the age of a new god. Which is why they are found in Leyndell (waiting for the tarnished) and in Haligtree (waiting for Miquella). It is clear that they are sent by the Greater Will itself, since their horns are made of gold and they are related to faith/holy damage.
>>492057632Pretty sure they are a form of albinaurics, since no legs is a common trait. Pretty sure they are real and physical, dont think they are angels but are made by men. Likely they exist just to worship.
>>492058585>they bleed>drops white strip of flesh>white strik of flesh says it drops from bloodless creaturesMIYAZAKIIII
is bayle an incel?
>>492059147ESLs skip Ranni quest? Is this the meaning of the comic?
>>492047254from will look at this and learn absolutely nothing for next time btw
>Fanned golden horn of the Oracle Envoys. Profoundly weighty, its blows are sure to be felt.>Originally an instrument, but one that cannot be sounded by a mere human. Or perhaps it is too early to sound the call. >Spirits of a monstrous band of musicians who employ sacred arts. It is said that when Oracle Envoys appear, playing their pipes, they do so to herald the arrival of a new god, or age.So like are they like playing the horns for you?>>492059580She's just wondering what's taking him so long snd like the answer is that he keeps dying
game night
>>492059897That mouth is very ugly...
>>492059897why do trannies make everything ugly
>>492059897i thought, heh heh kinda cute...and then i saw radahnit's so cursedi demand justice for radahnMAKE RADAHN COOL AGAIN
>>492059363Bayle is Osama bin Laden
>>492060564Was he cool before the dlc or something? I just know he marries Miquella
>>492054586I play on console. You wouldn't happen to have a spare code for Xbox?
>>492059725Why is the Tarnished spanish?
>>492061405Add me on there anyway so I can give you the code on there because a bottle scrape it if I post it on here
>>492059897This image makes me feel lonely
>>492038806
>>492061405Like I'd just give yoy a gift card for the money to buy it
>>492061673>>492062327It's been ages since I used my steam account and it's not even mine, it's my brother's, so we can share games. But then we grew up and he got married and we don't live together anymore.I could post my only for 4chan email if you want to send it there. That's unconnected to my real life and identity.
>>492062327stop giving him the dlc, just give him the outer god talisman, he just needs 3 arcane
>>492051502https://eldenring.wiki.fextralife.com/Mask+of+Confidencetry this mask on, it'll give you what you need
>>492064338I mean I'd prefer the DLC and earning the talisman myself.
>>492064338But I'm at the mall, this is easier and I don't have an Xbox>>492064132Nigger you are making this really hard, and what kind of person doesn't have a steam account?? It'll be like a few hours anyway now so probably not
>>492064338he could just use the scarseal too
>>492064768I could use something like that IRL.
>>492064969Hey, I appreciate the offer. I'm not home either, it's too nice outside, so I wouldn't be able to get either steam or email right away myself. G0d will recognize your will to charity even if you can't follow through on your intent.
I read that Fia's champions are based on player builds like the giant jar phantoms, is that true? I just remember it being Rogier, Lionel, and someone else
>>492067182no, they are always the same
>>492067669No>>492067182She always summons Rogier and Lionel. The others are players who have been hugged.Similarly the Great Jar Warriors are players who have beaten other Great Jar Warriors
WHYWHY CAN'T ANYONE BE HAPPY IN THIS SHITTY GAMEI'M ONLY TRYING TO HELP
Anyone else loves this thing? I just used it to clear the entire shadow keep, it deals huge damage against the fire knights and is also just fun. It's basically the pilebunker from armored core.
>>492040106fingerprint bleed poke is always there.
Hey bro you wanna chill? Take a puff of these crack pipes it's the best shit ever.
>>492040904the game being so retardedly shitter friendly killed the online in both co-op and invasion formats. spirit summons already killed good old co-op anyways. the countless fixes this game needs for both the pvp and pve as well are another complete story. From learned nothing with the base game, won't learn shit from this and won't learn shit for the next 10 years. They need to give up on making ARPGs.
I'm nearly done with my run now. Should I try one of those overhaul mods or should I go back and try to beat ds3 for once?
>>492070398Headcanon tier story also killed the lore deparment. The DLC was just so bad it indeed killed the game. Souls at least had a decent online ffs...
>>492068018>The others are players who have been hugged.But you can only get hugged early in the game, won't that make the third guy underpowered?
>>492069919This mask and the Guardian one are ones I want to facefuck with the might of Godfrey in my hips, too bad the player versions have fucked necks and no mask only variants exist, a failure of the alteration system.
>>492072021You're hugged by her right after that fight
Oh I see you wanted to run through this rooftop. Don't worry friend I'm sure it'll work out!
>there's people actually invading in levels 20-30 with end game gear and spellsNigga get a fucking life lmao
>>492074231low level invaders are like that, no other way around it other than twinking yourself and blocking them
I've never been invaded, how does it work? Does it happen if I summon another player?Can I summon NPCs safely? Sometimes a really cool NPC offers to help like Blaidd and I can't resist
>>492073050Oh, I see. Thanks for explaining.
>>492075146YesYes, but npc summons are usually right outside a boss fight Entering a boss fight door makes you safe
>>492075146When you use the Furcalling Finger Remedy and summon someone (real player, NPC doesn't count) you can be invaded, alternatively you can use use the Taunter's Tongue while the Finger Remedy is active to attract them aswell (doesn't require summoning in that case)
>>492075607Oh! I thought npc summons did count, that's interesting
>>492074231I get more runes from OL phantoms at 20 +3 than I do at any other level range in the game including 200.700+ phantoms are actually very common and it's rare for me to go a day of invading without killing at least a few.Honest hosts sadly have to suffer the collateral damage of this.
>>492077717You don't need to use the Finger Remedy to summon NPCs, although to be honest I'm not actually sure if using a finger remedy and summoning an NPC does make invaders invade you, since you usually just use the item to summon players anyway
fucking found itthis is for that one post talking about fia's office lady clothes
jesus christ, I finally managed to get a kill with this joke spellit only took Infinite FP, Infinite Stamina, and for the other guy to not know of my existence
I wish there were more ways to inflict Frostbite without having to... well, you know
I've kitbashed this new model for the Meteoric Ore Greatsword (using the giant crusher and cinquedea models) but I can't decide if it looks cool or goofy. Colors may change. Opinions?
>>492079594Holy fucking plap
>>492081984The hilt looks a big too long.
>>492079594ngl this waist looks absolutely bizarre, not even 3D porn models look like this. You usually only see waists this waspy in cartoon porn. Does she have a fucking corset on?
Quick poll to settle an argument with a friend over which Empyrean most people would actually pick if they had the choice.https://strawpoll.com/wby5QQLLByA
>>492082729Iirc she had half of her big and little intestines removed and stitches together to have a thinner waist
>>492083403>permanent health issues to look 10% skinnierdo foids really?
>>492083506She made the right choice
>>492082729its just that the tits are too big>>492083305>miquella and the formless motherwhy though

>>492085093er not killed but i made her run like a bitch, which she shouldn't have needed to do if i couldn't kill her
>>492085402>the mother teleports away>the fingers, without legs, don'tcurious
>>492085093Ranni doesn't trust anyone but herself to kill her Two Fingers, which is why she needs a special weapon to do it.
>>492079998That's funny.Now that I think about it, Unendurable Frenzy must be strong as fuck now with the Madness exultation.
>>492084174>why thoughI kinda felt bad for leaving him as the only Empyrean without some sort of greater patron, and he pretty much turned his back on the Greater Will and the Golden Order fundamentalism.While he was controlling Mogh, even though that was just to get entrance to the Shadow Lands, Mogh's gameplan was to become Elden Lord and raise Miquella to Godhood through the Formless Mother as a sponsor. Miquella, as Mogh's enchanter, would have known about this plan and the Formless Mother, so I could see him perhaps turnig towards that deity rather than the Greater Will.I even feel Mogh's follower's like Varre may be subtly influenced, parrotting Miquella's words abut love and compassion.This is all just speculation and head canon, mind you.
>>492086923That's not Miquella that's Cnute from Vinland Saga
>>492087606Isn't it canon that Miquella can possess anyone with blonde hair?
>>492087606Cnut is just Miquella in another universe.
>>492087803making a blonde character rn>>492086923canute twink death...
abyssal woods fucking sucks
so, should we start planning a day for fc
>>492090615What are we going to do and what rl character should we bring?
>>492042859Destined Death doesn't annihilate anything, it just forces it to play by the original laws of death.Congrats you're why Radahn's soul went to the shadow realm instead of getting absorbed by the Erdtree.
>>492081984>>492082549I ended up scrapping that one and using the clayman harpoon as the blade instead. Looks much cooler and it also glows slightly. I'm satisfied now.
>>492090970>What are we going to dohuh? fight?>what rl character should we bring?i imagine a lot of people should be at 150 right now
Leda says that Ansbach atlwsst hit miquella so this art is about what if like that's why Miquella is missing an arm
>>492091615Oh I have a rl 101 and rl 80 characters.
So what can fromsoft learn from wukong's success?
>>492091791Based and erotic
>>492091998That being a chinese studio making a game with a chinese setting gets you access to the biggest gaming market in the world?
>>492092083How?
>>492042859I was hoping that after Miquella broke his Great Rune and his enchantments wore off on everyone, Malenia might get a special cut-scene before her boss figt if you hadn't done it yet, where she realises she was being charmed to act against her own self-interest.Sadly, there's no change in cut-scene, so maybe she really does just love her brother THAT much.

>>492093518I find violence to be erotic and the idea of Ansbach stoically ripping apart delicate and soft Miquella limb from limb while he panics and cries and begs for mercy is very, very hot.
>>492093942Okay thank you for explaining
What're your guys' favorite builds?So far I've done Death Knight Haftaxe + Spear, Drake Knight with shield in left focus in right with Kristoff, and now full Banished knight with Storm blade and Deenh. Stormblade is my favorite so far with my bird budI'm thinking of doing Horned Warrior, Marika Hammer (build I ran originally in base game) or Euporia
>>492094656My favorite is really boring, moonveil and glintstone staff with a bunch of glintstone andnglintblade sorceries with the nobles set without the hood.Very boring but the swapping between the melee and ranged style like really like seamlessly was tons of fun
is danes still unusable unless you status it?
>>492094656sword and shield (im a boring bitch)>>492095602yes
>>492094656nuthin like int/arc to slap a host's ass
Hows that wings ash on a twinblade?
>>492096281*falls off a cliff*
>>492096281Misses most hits
>>492094656Pure FTH Pyromancer I have not yet decided which main weapon to use, honestly, but I think I like Milady the most, and it works nicely with Flame Spear AND Skewer.Just entering a room and killing everything with Messmer's Orb is sex
>>492095768>>492096392>>492096395They can never design something that is cool and good huh?
i will never forgive From
>>492094656Been using the backhand blades blood infused with my arcane build.Are there any good arcane weapons early in the DLC?
>>492097016Yes you will
>>492096985no, and they couldn't even be bothered to make it an incantation when:1. all aspect of the crucible are incantations2. people use it with crucible knight shit (cant change ash of war)3. you have in game incantations that are also ashes of warenjoy your 3rd golden vow though>>492097324bloodfiend's arm should still be good and its a guaranteed drop
>>492096985The other dryleaf art is supposed to be good.Youwy or whatever that skinny arab fucks name is placed it highly amongst dlc builds.
>>492097370refunded the DLC before launching itswore not to buy another one of their games
>>492097891
>>492096985Great Katanas are cool and good you stupid fucking gaijin.And so are Thrusting Shields.
>>492090970>>492091615if an FC is going on, no one will give a fuck abour RL
What's the point of Chapel of Anticipation? Why spawn us there? Are we supposed to just die? It's not like it's a tutorial, because that comes after. Why have it there at all? You can't even roll off to skip it, you have to run over to his arena, get him to spawn, and then roll off. But rolling off, getting killed by him, or dealing with him using your much weakener state still leads to the same outcome. You can also just come back anyway after exiting the tutorial cave if you know what you're doing, which leads to the question of, 'What is the reward for killing him in the beginning of the game?". Yes, you get his weapons after killing him, but *when* you do it is irrelevant, it seems.
>>492098760I wish there were more thrusting shields, the carian one is cool but it doesnt really fit any fashion other than the 2 carian setsThe other shield is bad and uglyWish there were more and better beast claws too, I felt so robbed when there wasnt an arcane scaling dragon claw
>>492094656Been doing an undead commander and it's been pretty fun. Summoning skeletons and banished knight spirit ashes. Me and the boys will become elden lord in no time
>>492099386The ghost aesthetic turns me off of using ashesKinda wish they would just appear as they are instead of having the ghost filter on
Sooo I started that RL1 run today, no talismans/proc weapons/upgraded weapons/ armor and it seems like it's gonna take an eternity to beat any boss. What concoction of items do people use to finish the run without having to spend 30 minutes on a boss?
>>492099545black flame spellsskill
>>492099162That's a good question now that I think about it. The explanation is also literally "headcanon it bro", if we came from beyond the fog (outside the lands between) then there's no way we should start from there. Even the first datamined spawn point (Melina finds us on the beach) makes more sense.I guess they just wanted to do another "first enemy kills you" type of thing but still wanted to make the game more welcoming to the casual players.>>492099545>without having to spend 30 minutes on a bosslol, lmaohttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rqsSMEoGIyY
>>492098760I got one and used it fir the first time today, it's really not
The great katana moveset just feels kinda clunky.But I could let it slide if the overhead stance AOW wasn't steaming garbage.
>>492099537Personally, I'd like it to go full Monser Hunter and have little bipedal cat actors cosplaying as the warriors they're representing instead of the ghosts.
>>492100140>Steal the entire moveset from LS in MH>Don't steal some of flashier moves for the unique ash of war>Don't even steal the nioh odachi skills that would've been perfectfrom's incompetence knows no bounds
>>492092208Such is the power of the yumi and the otome.
>>492100140Yeah but like you can change the ash of war, but yeah the movset is bad
>>492099358>the carian one is cool but it doesnt really fit any fashion other than the 2 carian setsI agree with this one, it's pretty hard to find an armor setup that fits the shield.
>>492099824>explanation is also literally "headcanon it bro"b-but my autism won't allow that!>"first enemy kills you" type of thingI guess. Just seems sloppy. I think it would have been better to just spawn in the cave, or at least fight a simpler enemy like one of the Knights in the army or a Crucible knight maybe.>DeS Vanguard Demon > Colourless Demon Soul, Sharpstone/Hardstone, Grass>DaS1 Asylum Demon > Part of the tutorial, have to kill>DaS2 > No boss, tutorial can be skipped entirely>DaS3 Iudex Gundyr > Part of the tutorial, have to killActually, now I just realized it's kinda like BB, in that when you spawn, there's a stronger enemy variant you aren't likely to kill, and if you do, not much of a reward. I especially didn't like it in BB, because if you run past him and open the door, it shows that you are invincible to any form of damage and how the player can abuse that.
>>492091998>doesn't even do the mythology completely correctly
>>492100140Did someone say great katana moveset?
>>492100605Remove the Chapel of Anticipation, change Soldier of Godrick to a different boss and you have the same "tutorial" as previous games. They wanted to play safe though and made sure no casual would refund the game in less than 2 hours playing
>>492099162>What's the point of Chapel of Anticipation?A rather sloppy result of cutting content. Tarnished were supossed to come to Lands Between with Godfrey's fleet and Godfrey would be the one to set (You) off on your quest (him appearing near the end of the game would also have more impact if he was your mentor). The game would start with the playable character being washed up on a beach and then you would move to the usual cave with Rick, Soldier of God. It's unclear how exactly you end up on that beach but possible that the cut Umibozu boss would crash the ship.
This is the best Great Katana movset.
>>492100372They have Sekiro sitting right there, they totally could have grabbed something from there.Even then I like the idea of a non-flashy simple AOW, the problem is how bad the damage and stance damage is when compared to unsheathe.I would figure slamming a giant katana down in something's face would disrupt their stance more than the standard katana but of course not.>>492100417Yeah I can change the AOW, I just wish overhead stance was better.Visually I like it, it's literally just ichimonji and ichimonji triple. Simple and to the point.Like mentioned tho the numbers just show it being a worse version of unsheathe.>>492100847Yeah, it's not awful it just feels awkward. Like it's not a bad moveset, but it doesn't feel like it should be in ER.
I want her to DESTROY ME!
>>492100907Mentor Godfrey would've been so fucking peak...
>>492100847Why did he not stop the three fingers?
>>492101461He needed to become Chaos to defeat Chaos.
>>492101580Its time...
I find it funny how Ishhin's prime still has only one eye. He doesn't need extra depth perception
>>492101580>Use the frenzied flame to burn the three fingers to a crispAbsolute cinema
>>492101808It probably works like he was brought back magically at the physical state he was his "strongest".That state just so happens to be sometime after he lost the eye.
>>492101443https://youtu.be/zMu7FvNP2Z4 It's a cool concept but Miyazaki probably didn't want to do another old man mentor for the third time after Gerhman and Owl.
>not a single summon sign at 60 +12
What would Marika be like as a girlfriend? What about a wife?
>>492102520The game feels completely dead before 125~, at which point everything feels overly alive. It's a bit weird. I guess everyone's just playing the DLC and end game stuff
ELDEN RING REFORGED NOW HAS DLC SUPPORT
>>492102760>Keep waking up to her trying to break her ring with a hammer on impulse>Thank got I spent that money on a titanium ring
>>492102760Enough to break Godfrey's spirit.
>>492101439With a big fart blast that is
>>492103345I said that already....
>>492102760>"Honey, I haven't seen Mohg and Morgott. Aren't they supposed to be back from soccer practice by now?">"Don't worry about it."
>>492099162There's cut content about it but I honestly think the real answer is Miyazaki likes the shot of seeing the Erdtree looming over Stormveil Castle because he really likes having these big location reveals, it's a staple of his style.Often he uses world design or structures to obscure it until the right moment.It's why there's so many cliffs and mesas and plateaus in Miyazaki's games, it's so you can't see it until he's gotten you to the right place to see it.It also feeds in to how the distant views in the older Souls games would massively exaggurate the distances and in the case of DS3, use the Catacombs of Carthus to obfuscate how much you've travelled.
Elden Ring is ok some times
>>492102760Marika seems like a total schizo wife, like an actual reality TV hyper rich cunt wife who might or might not genuinely love her family whenever her mood swings aren't mind breaking her
>>492103479>>492103757Is she really that complicated? I thought with that body any personality flaw would be easy to overcome.
>>492103345how is reforged compared to convergence, i've been playing that recently and i've really enjoyed all the new map additions to castle morne, raya lucaria, nokron and caria manor, even if they're a little rough around the edges
>>492103716No, it isnt
>>492103873for how central she is to the story, we don't know shit about from Marika herself, it's all second hand accounts of shit she did with obscure and ofuscated reasons for everything.She might've killed Godfrey for unknown reasons, she might've broken the Elden Ring for unknown reasons, she might've taken Godfrey's grace for unknown reasons, it's really annoying and Miyazaki should get tard wrangled already if he wants people to actually care about his lore shit (which arguably he does not)
>>492103890Reforged is more like vanilla+ than convergences "lets add a bunch of shit and see what sticks". It has sekiro style deflecting, a handful of new spells, the ability to refight bosses, a new collectible that you can use to buy stuff like any weapon at any time, balance changes, etc. but nothing TOO game changing.
>>492103873She sperged out and basically doomed an entire realm.
>>492103716The first two times I went to Rauh ruins were both at night, and I thought the place was a stupid confusing shithole.It still is a stupid confusing shithole but pretty incredible looking with actual light.
>>492102760She would probably be a combination of really cold in some moments, and desperately clingy and needy in others. Basically a perfect personality with which to cause one's SO to become an empty husk>>492103873The absolute sexiness of her body is merely an indication of how Cluster B she is in terms of personality
How come their shit is better?
>>492104817when I first casted Flame Serpent and it fizzled out in front of after traveling 10 cm despite watching fire knights snipe my ass halfway across the map with that shit, I wanted to get a ticket to japan just to drown Miyazaki in a toilet
>>492105737nevermind found it ffs
>>492091998Fuck off wumao shill
>>492103716Then it switches to the Hong Kong at 2pm weather and you can't even see the Scadutree through the smog.
>>492104187>>492104203I still fail to understand what actions were hers and what were the Greater Will.>>492104452Is she a bpd
>>492078618Okay I see this overleveled phantom talk more than once but doesnt the game have summoning ranges??? Or do you mean invading in seamless?
>>492107194There's no range when summoning players while using passwords so you can summon a level 713 phantom from the First Step no problem that way.
Will RL 110 +25 get me some invasions or do I have to level up to 150?
Why are there so many gingers in the pantheon?
>>492103716Would be nice if it wasn't covered in yellow fog 90% of the time
>>492107194With the password system a level 1 host can summon a max level phantom.His stats are downscaled for balance reasons but they're still way stronger than any player in the actual level range.The defenses and damage of a PW phantom are absurdly high.
>>492107906probably, but 150 will definitely be faster
Hey, /erg/. I have managed to solo all DLC and base game bosses solo except Malenia. I just can't figure out how to dodge Waterfowl Dance. Is there any advice anyone had for dodging it. At this point Consort Radahn seems easier than having to face this one attack. PCR had a whole bunch of bullshit attacks but nothing this hard hitting.I don't want to use cheese-y solutions like frost pots or bloodhound step. I would use a shield but tanking the attack for replenish her health by a lot.
>>492108175>take Malenia>remove rotEvery single piece of princess Ranni art. Sometimes they'll spice things up and add freckles, like your picture.
>>492108175cause one of the most important characters in the game is a redheaded man
>>492108323use a shield(something along those lines, i dont remember)if you're close to her: spin around her once, continue straight -> dodge into her -> run awayif you're mid range: run away -> dodge into her -> run awayif you're far just run away
>>492108323Vow of the Indomitable is like using a shield except it doesn't heal her. You can also just deflect it using the crystal tear. Or if you aren't really up close to her (at least 1.5 meters away or so) you can run away as soon as she jumps up and then jump when she comes down to dodge her first flurry, then dodge the other flurries easily.
>Land of Shadow and Elden Stars have the same casting animation>Flare, O Serpent is a Fire Monk attack>Gravesite Plain enemies are reskins (Commoners, Skeletal Mages, Dogs), same as Living Magma (Silver Tear)>Man-fly is a Dark Souls 3 enemy>Aging Untouchable is a Bloodborne enemy>Radahn is a bunch of reused animations (Death Knights, Pontiff, Headless Vengarl)>Great Katana's moveset is the same as Monster Huntergive me shit to put on the list so i can make a compilation
>>492108650For some reason I thought I might not have enough Stamina to be able to use a shield for the first flurry and that it would increase her health by a lot. But this doesn't look bad. I might just keep a shield just to block waterfowl dance. Thanks.
>>492108323There's many ways to defeat Malenia. Even Guard Counters https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=i537zQVO9A8You can tank the initial Waterfowl hits, roll into the second barrage, then walk for the last but it's better I link vids like https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=m9ge0nP12Pw
>>492100630>that VNThe most unforgettable horror porn game I've ever played. No other game had a bunch of elementary schoolers gangbang a teenage girl against a wall. And the teenage girl loved it. No other game I've played had a 17 year old bishonen guy drink a 14 year old girl's piss and chase her down the hall to rape her, only to wind up getting anally raped by a 32 year old fat man. I still remember the scene where a 16-17 girl was hiding under a bed as her same age best friend was having sex with that same 32 year old fat guy on top. She heard every moan, bed shake and sound. In the wrong end she was discovered under the bed by her friend and made to join. A most terrifying scene was when an unwilling girl relives another girl's sex memories. The girl in the memory consented but the reliving girl didn't. It didn't matter that she was mentally screaming, her body in the memory did all the motions and actions as in history. It's like mind control rape except the victim was fully aware. Another scene the same girl and a friend were almost raped in a magic sex ritual, saved by the girl's older sister, and the backlash made the older sister want to rape her younger sister and friend.The loli in your pic is freakishly lewd and once disguised herself as a teenage girl, fucked a boy until he nearly came, transformed back saying>You thought you were having sex with a highschooler weren't you? I'm an elementary schooler all along!And leglocks that boy, forcing him to cum inside her unprotected, when he screams in fear upon learning this. This isn't even getting into the tentacles, the gay sex, the lesbian sex, the incest, the sequel's mother/daughter lesbian scene, etc. The first chapter alone contains lots of lesbian sex scenes with an unavoidable girl masturbating in the bathroom. Truly horror is intrinsically connected with sexuality.
Ask me a lore question and I will answer using ONLY ingame information and NO interpretation/headcanon stated as fact, it will be labeled as such
>Kill Alexander in one hitHe wasn't even done with his speech...
>>492109582How hard did Morgott BTFO Radahn?
>Watch cool video showing how there are skulls in abductor virgin's metallic bodies>"And this might be related to the process of jarring the shamans..."Fuck off it isn't. I understand that if you make elden ring videos you might want to lean into the shitty vaati zeitgeist but this shit is gay as hell. Why not just show how fucked up these babies are? People never did this for Dark Souls 3 when they were looking at the dead babies stapled to vordt's chest in the old version.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tM_s9lUbwhY
>>492110035We don't know. The game mentions Morgott slaying a lot of warriors, and commanding the Night's Cavalry to do the same, and Leyndell was attacked at least twice, but it's never said who was doing the attacking.The image is too unclear to confirm if it takes place in Leyndell, so it could be that it's referring to >The Second Defense of Leyndell>The Fell Omen stacks high the corpses of heroes>Yet the Erdtree remains unshakenBut we have no idea for sure, the game never explicitly mentions him fighting Radahn beyond the image
When your Tarnished is getting bred by a 9 foot tall godqueen, what's going through his mind. Is there any resistance or does he just close his eyes and think of the erdtree?
>>492110886First Siege/Defense was Godefroy and Godrick>After the First Defense of Leyndell, Kristoff earned the hero's honor of Erdtree Burial for the feat of capturing Godefroy the Grafted.
This is the fashion I want.
I hope one day FROM will let us paint our armors.
so what's the verdict on radahn? my evaluation is that he's the only boss in the entire game that forced to me fall back on using a shield.
I think it's all trannies pretending to be women
>>492111269Yeah sorry I meant to refer the "we don't know who was doing the attacking" to just the second one, cause I didn't wanna go too off scope but ye.My actual meta theory on the Radahn/Morgott fight is that it's literally juat art made pre-story finalization and there isn't really any big lore on it and there wasn't any thought beyond that>>492111597I like Mossa's take on her like with the like lower fantasy stuff rather than like everything like glowing, but like I can appreciate the like way its sdesigned to be an inbetween/fusion of the magic warriors and like the more traditional state troops
>>492112012I think one of my favorite things about Fromsoft games are that like everyone will get different difficulty curves depending on how they play the game. Like I knew about rhe Anor Londo archers on the paths because that was just like a meme I had heard about and knew HOW tough it was, so I was suprised when I got there and it was... extremely easy. I just rolled through the arrowsBut then while playing Elden Ring, I only just learned two days ago TWO YEARS LAGER that the like sludge pikes that shoot out the spikes are actually not that super hard to kill, it's just the weapons that I always use they're resistant to, my person I was playing with killed then extremely easily. It's neat knowing there's different experiences and hurdles for people to climb over....Which is why I don't really like Radahn because he feels too much like a like "Oh you play in X way. Too bad, no you don't. Fix it." rather than a fun adjustment.Maybe I'm whining maybe skill issue but I dislike it, even if my build was fine for it, it felt a little too much like if I had been doing something else I would've been force funneled into a different playstyle.There's a difference between like requiring adaptation and funneling imo
>>492102760The sex would be great, but everything else would probably suck.
>>492112012He is ultimately a poorly designed boss that is not fun to fight.Poor visibility from both camera angles and constant vfx spam to miquella's hair covering 80% of your screen, a virtually undodgeable attack, stupidly high damage and health unless you get almost all blessings, extremely long combo strings with little opportunities for punishes (especially in phase 2), attacks that destroy your framerate, fanfiction-tier writing and introduction.In retrospect, Malenia is a far better boss design aside from waterfowl being unintuitive and oppressive.
>arguing with friend about leda>he's mad i didn't like the fight because it's just a bullshit op npc gankfest>"ermm not my fault you didn't wanna summon 5 helpers, that's the way the fight is designed">tells me i'm just bad for not doing the fight properly and for not liking it>remind him he had to respec into fingerprint shield to beat radahn>starts coping and says it's differentayup
>>492113981sounds like the both of you have a skill issue
>>492112012>pinnacle of rollslop gameplay unless you get a greatshield and trivialize the entire fight>boring moveset that doesn't even change much in phase 2, he just gets AoE light vomit after every attack which is textbook "we don't know how to make a boss harder" modded garbage>atrocious lore that ruins 4 seperate demigods in one swoop>an ending so underwhelming that people are coping that it was intentionally disappointing>worst rewards in the game, TWO rehashed swords and a rehashed armor set is a fucking jokeBesides the music it's unredeemable in every aspect, it's not even fun to laugh at or meme about like other shitty bosses
>>492113968>>492114392i thought it was fun honestly
>>492113981I liked the fight because it felt like Miyazaki just decided to put a WWE royal rumble in the game for fun.
>>492113968>waterfowl being unintuitive and oppressiveThe attack that you can just turn around and run away from?
>>492112012It's an ass fight with a bunch of problems, but I think its worst crime is the fact that no matter what you do, it never feels fair. The fight always feels like its bullshitting you, every attack in phase 2 just feels like its cheating. Not "god this is hard", it literally just feels like he's cheating.The fact that its a fight you have to "cheese" to make it feel fair is such an annoyance for a final boss.
>>492115053i think it's an incredibly fair fight besides the cross slash and maybe the clone attacks because whether you can just sprint to dodge them feels like a 50/50 for some reason.
>>492114957Not this disingenuous rhetoric again.You can't run from it if she does it right on top of you or you're mid recovery animation.Almost everyone died to it multiple times before even figuring that out, that level of trial-and-error is poor design.
>>492115360>that level of trial-and-error is poor designi maybe would have agreed were this a boss you absolutely have to beat to finish the game, but malenia is an optional boss who comes after the hardest legacy dungeon was clearly designed to be incredibly challenging, i don't think a boss not being "fair" is an example of bad design
>>492115265>it's a fair fight aside from the two attacks it does the most
>>492103757to be fair seeing your whole community get jarred probably breaks a person
I wonder how from goes about designing the structure of the game world. Trying to communicate how all the spaces connect together and their relative heights via 2D drawings seems like it’d be difficult. I’ve always wondered if they ever work things out using physical props like a diorama or clay prototyping.
>>492113981You're friend is right. Calling the Leda fight and not using the summons is like caliing Rykard bad and refusing to use the Serpent Hunter. You're literally refusing to interact with the mechanic that's supposed to make it fair then crying about it not being fair.
>>492115959yes, that is indeed what i said. to be clear, the clone attacks i'm talking about are the ones that come where he just jumps into the air from neutral, and the one he does after the meteor toss. every other clone attack has a clear solution.
>>492108175grrm likes them
>>492115360>Almost everyone died to it multiple times before even figuring that outyeah I hated this. I think they should pause the game and put an info pop up every time a character uses a new attack that shows up how to beat it. that way I would have to lose as much or try to work out how to beat the character. it would help me a lot too because when I die I sometimes forget to get my runes in the journey back to the arena so it would be good if I didn’t die and forget my tunes
>>492112129>glowing is... LE BAD!
>keep getting DCed out of the game while invading or dueling>realize that this never happened while I was using seamlessadd this one to the list.
>>492110035hard enough to break his spirits which in turn allowed miquella to turn him into sex toymorgott is the real villain of the story(mohg is his fault, too)
>>492116526Ita not bad but the rest of the faction is more low-fantasy
>>492106449Honestly, given the extreme trauma that she experienced while presumably very young, she could very well be
>>492112129>My actual meta theory on the Radahn/Morgott fight is that it's literally juat art made pre-story finalization and there isn't really any big lore on it and there wasn't any thought beyond thatThere still appears to be some kind of post-Shattering link between Radahn and Leyndell given these banners only show up in his arena during the boss and around Leyndell.
Aside from Shard of Alexander and Two-handed talisman, what other talismans are a must for pure STR builds?
>>492112012I have a hard time naming ANY move he has that isn't taken from another enemy or boss in the same or previous game. The x slash combo was used by Banished Knights before being made left hand first for Death Knights. His stomp is Godfrey. His Lion Claw is just Owl's somersault attack. His 6 hit combo is Pontiff Sulyvahn. Couple that and the jank parts like the hitboxes, the differences in elevation in the arena throwing off parry timing, and the lackluster rewards, I can't help but feel this is an overwhelmingly cheap final boss. Especially right after Messmer. This feels like they had to rush because the deadline was too close.
>>492117484great jar arsenal
>>492117608I currently have enough endurance to medium roll without it but maybe its better to use that and move those points for even more STR
>>492112012>He’s supposed to be this hard; you’re fighting a godRadagon/Elden Beast were challenging, overwhelmingly so when the game was first released. But you get good enough with each fight and boss defeat that you become experienced enough to recognize optimal strategies and bold enough to play around with them.On paper, bringing a bow to a boss who’s notorious for deflecting projectiles (including spells) sounds not only like a set up for failure, it’s borderline tedious.And yet, thanks to Radagon’s various movesets, dodge-able AOEs and fair recovery time, I managed to carve out punish windows wherein I could safely shoot an arrow to chip away at his health. It wasn’t easy but the challenge was rewarding, because between rolling, jumping and squeezing in a quick shot, I stayed on my toes and didn’t feel bored. And this is a boss who in the game world is supposed to be a “god” only what a world of difference between there is between Radagon’s refined execution and PCR’s crude performance.
I think the boss concept would be easier to accept if he truly looked like Mohg's fucked-up corpse being puppeted around by another man's soul. It would give some horror to it, and add another layer of tragedy to Mohg's character. Instead they leaned too heavily into just giving us "prime" Radahn, which is why it feels fan-servicey to so many
>>492117484Bull-goat, Axe, Claw, Roar, Erdtree's Favor / Great-jar Arsenal.
I've thought about it for days and I still don't understand, why was Miquella so dead set on Radahn? He had an entire plan involving leaving his Haligtree to die, nuking an entire region and drastically worsening the hold that the rot god has on Malenia in the process, brainwashing and killing Mohg, and the slow and painful death of Radahn himself. All for what? Why did he need specifically Radahn and nobody else as a consort to the point of committing all of these atrocities? The stated reason is that he wanted Radahn's strength and kindness but he has mass brainwashing powers that can turn the vilest people into kind followers as seen with Leda and already has all the strength he could possibly need with Malenia and Mohg, what was the point of all of this?
>>492117587The player base wants this sort of cheapness since these games are about being hard.
>>492118896Nothing in Sekiro/Bloodborne or DS series is as cheap as half the shit in ER.
>>492112012But why did From Software gave him such a goofy running animation tho?Bro looks like he's on the verge of shitting himself in the middle of the fight lol
>>492118976At a certain point, you just gotta git cheap back at them. I don't like it, but that's how I think it's meant to be played. You either kill the boss in 2-4 hits, or the boss kills you in 1-2.
>>492118896Nah I meant cheap as in low cost. The boss just feels jank on many levels. It feels like the budget just ran out in the middle of development.
I gotta be real honest, it feels like you guys are coping.
>>492118887We don't know for sureIt could be infatuation, and essentially being dead set on his initial idea.It could be thatRadahn was a backup plan, there's an item description that talks about yim wanting to Godwyn to have a true death, which could juat be compassionate hoping for mercy killing him off finally, or it could be implying Godwyn was his first choice (I believe the first one)It could be that the plan just wasn't supposed to be like that, he disnt expect things to go so wrong like that or he was just like blinded by his hopes and didn't realize how wrong things were goingWe dunno
>>492119332Take it backNow
Why haven't we gotten an antagonist based off of Godhand yet?
>>492117587>jank parts like the hitboxesSilly anon, General Relativity tells us that mass (and energy and momentum and their fluxes) distort space-time. Anything that has mass exerts a gravitational pull on all the other stuff that has mass. That’s because mass warps space-time, the underlying fabric of the universe. This is why Radahn's weapons don't physically appear to hit you but still hit you anyway. Radahn's true powers aren't gravity. It's space-time warping which causes gravity.
>>492112012All the challenge runners and streamers say that other than the oppressive cross-slash, that he's a great boss and what they want to see more of in the future.
>>492119649you just got griffith, the only one in the godhand that matters
>>492119649Cause we don't really do absolute evil in Souls. It's all ambiguous shades of grey.
Umm
>>492119936>he's a great boss and what they want to see more of in the future.>make dlc>reuse a bunch of enemies and movesets for bosses>take Radahn>remove all the things that look cool about him>make him look and move like an action figure>make him the final boss of the DLCimagine if instead of Manus you fought a reskinned Nito or or Gwyndolin, or instead of Gael you fought Pontiff Sulyvahn with a few extra moves, there'd be killings, and yet people will defend this to their dying breath, or worse, just respond with "skill issue", as if the difficulty of the boss is the problem and not the laziness and creative bankruptcy of the developers.
>>492117484BVLLgoat talisman is extremely good when used with 2h hyper armor weapons and ashes that have hyperarmor, which is common for STR.
>>492118887>why was Miquella so dead set on Radahni think it has something to do with his cursehe couldn't grow up to be a man, he was cursed to be a very young boy both in body and in mindhe probably envied and admired those who achieved what he couldn't - "real" men of this worldand radahn was a platonic ideal of a man of lands between - fierce, unstoppable, big, powerful, battle-hungry, a lord and a warrior wielding powerful magic, adored and revered by his followersi think radahn was less of a love/sex object, and more of an object of adoration - he had what miquella lacked and what miquella desired: ultimate manhood, he was like an pop-idol. i don't think miquella saw a real person in him, he wasn't interested in his needs and wants, but in what radahn symbolized to him and what radahn had to provide him with it's very immature, but miquella WAS very immature
If anyone is around right now and not busy could you please help me kill Placidusax? Nobody ever leaves signs by him. I just can't handle his lasers right now. please I suck at this game. RL 150.

St.Trina is the true villain. Miquella was a complete psycho before abandoning his love as that was the time he committed all of his atrocities, abandoned the Haligtree and his sister (who could've solved the DLC via her strength), and never once told Mohg to stop the whole Formless Mother bloody cultist shit. St.Trina believes Miquella abandoning compassion makes him worse but everything we know of Miquella beforehand suggests he was a complete monster. In truth Miquella bettered himself by abandoning negative traits which St.Trina's brainwashing of our player interprets as love and compassion when truthfully Miquella abandoned negative traits instead.
>Miquella abandons his fleshSo is this flesh his Mohg sperm-filled cocoon body, or some new body he abandoned again?
What's a cool looking sidearm for Oathseeker Knight cosplay with the Pata? Putting Piercing Fang Milady on my back is pretty stylish but is there another weapon that matches the black metal + gold trim of Oathseeker armor and Pata?
olooooooooo
>>492122815If Miquella can just abandon his flesh like that, why did Ranni go through those extreme lengths to kill Godwyn the same time her body died so she dies in body alone? Did she just hate Godwyn or wanted skeletons everywhere? Is Miquella just way smarter and Ranni doesn't know she can do that?

Does the the Serpnet Hunter's level affect its damage while fighting Rykard?
>>492108824https://youtu.be/fLauD7UY6jI?si=WL3a4aLlZkTJblaZ
>>492124463Yes it does
>>492124804honestly I always just thought this was Artorias' somersault
Biggest mistake of ER is that they did not make Miquella's gender ambiguous
>>492113981Leda was the best fight for me, I nuked everyone with Rellana balls.
>>492118887Malenia losing control of the rot was never part of the plan. He just thought she'd be able to solo the continent in phase one, and he was 99% right, she just lacked one last bit of energy to push the blade 1 inch deeper into Radahn while he was stabbed and grounded.
>>492118887It's implied he needs Radahn for the ascension ritual and Malenia won't do (despite his entire plan being dependent on Malenia being stronger than Radahn), nor will any other person. Why he specifically needs Radahn is never explained. This is partly because the entire DLC plot is a late rewrite. Miquella has entire quests, weapons, NPCs, and cutscenes in the cut content of the base game that don't mention Radahn at all.
I abandon here my hope for Sekiro DLC
>>492125431damn nigga you were still holding onto that one?
>>492125223If it wasn't part of the plan then why didn't he send support? He basically gambles on an injured Malenia without supporting in any way. He could've sent Leda or other Needle Knights, compelled some of Radahn's men into betrayal, etc. He could've gave Malenia a much easier time.
>>492122815Because the DLC's writing is shit he randomly has two bodies (three if you count the spirit body he manifests at the end for no apparent reason; Marika didn't have one). The thing in the cocoon in Mohgwyn Palace is unambiguously identified as Miquella's by both in-universe characters (Mohg, Gideon, Varre) and out of universe text (Mohg's Remembrance). But in the DLC you find specific body parts strewn around the Land of Shadow that belong to Miquella (eyes, arms, etc.), as if they came from a second body. This random inconsistency is never explained yet Fromslurpers insist that it's brilliant and well-planned.The DLC makes considerably more sense if you assume that it's set in an alternate universe where nothing in the base game happened. The writers certainly seem to be working on that assumption.
>>492125476because the Needle Knights and Dryleaves and Forager Brood [and...] didn't exist before the DLC, and also Miquella wasn't personally present at Aeonia before the DLC, and also Miquella didn't have one-touch flawless mind control powers before the DLC (which are the shittiest device you could ever put in a story because they will inevitably cause questions like this).
>>492122815Yeah, the DLC is kinda full of those problems. Like how we have no reason as a Tarnished to touch the withered arm. In DS1 and DS3, we are entrapped and sorta forced into the DLC by seemingly alien 3rd parties. In Bloodborne we go into the Hunters Nightmare to complete the hunt, find out the truth of Fishing Hamlet, and possibly gather more insight/umbilical cords for a certain ending. In Elden Ring, the Land of Shadows shouldn't really concern the Tarnished. We can essentially leave whenever we want, and overcomming all obstacles in the DLC has zero impact on the ending. Grace was extended back to the Tarnished to slay rune holding demi gods and repair the Elden Ring. Gideon says that Ranni discarding her Great Rune disqualifies her as a target, we later learn Miquella discarded his, which should disqualify him as a target because he essentially poses no threat compared to the backing of the Greater Will via whatever ending you opt for that serves as a catalyst to empower the Tarnished and make them Elden Lord, or whatever the hell Ranni does. Which is way more simple and efficient than how the DLC's writers tried presenting Miquella's "accension". Ranni seemingly accends to godhood without the use of the Gate of Divinity, which begs the question, what the fuck is even the point of the Gate of Divinity if you can just pump your soul into some weird 4 armed doll and become some Barbie moon god that is more remote and beyond the influence of the Greater Will and Outer Gods than Miquella could of ever dreamed of? Hell, keep Marika's story away from that Gate too, because her whole character arc is essentially about escaping the Greater Will's influence, why the hell didn't she think of Ranni's plan? Everything up to and including Messmer in the DLC is wonderful and interesting worldbuilding, but everything after that besides the NPC battle royale at the end fell off a god damn cliff in terms of quality and continuity.
Why did Miquella need Mohg kidnap him? Is there something peculiar about Mohg's boss arena that's necessary for his plans? Did he just feel like compelling Mohg into dicking his underdeveloped body? Why not compell Mohg into a trap where he dies if Mohg's body was necessary? That way the Haligtree still has Miquella's abandoned body feeding it AND all of Miquella's DLC plans can go off without a hitch before the player Tarnished even begins the game. Get someone to pull an old yeller on Radahn too if nobody else works instead of leaving him a dying, rot-destroyed but living cannibal.
lest go see the STARSi can al so see that i was NAKED
>>492126521my schizo suspicion is that when they were hashing out the story the idea was the mohg kidnaps him then gets charmed, but in the retarded pursuit of ambiguity they cut or decided not to create the pieces that would actually connect the dots. though its entirely possible that im coping and it's just a mess for unrelated reason
The moral of the DLC to me: Miquella's a complete idiot and the reason we're out to stop him is to prevent his stupidity from infecting everyone.
Kinda funny how Radahn went from being reddit's golden boy to his fans getting dogpiled if they whine about Malenia or if someone says they liked the DLC fight or lore, or even if some newfag unironically talks about how heckin wholesome his horserino is. Never seen a character have a complete 180 in community reception despite nothing about his character actually changing besides potentially being a rape victim. Assuming normalfag cesspools like tiktok or youtube still wank off over muh chadahn though
>>492128930he became the symbol for everything that disappointed people about the dlc, and being a raped & gaped bitch just makes it that much easier to make fun of him
>>492128930Honestly who besides redditors even thought of him as being the 'chad' character? He shares a game with fucking Godfrey and Radagon, both of which are rampant sex-havers
i SHARE this view with THY ENEMIES, whos soon to be FRIENDS
>>492128930The sucky part is he and Miquella are the weakest part of Miquella's DLC. People complain about reused moves for Radahn but Midra wasn't 24/7 reuse. Somehow Radahn got the short end of the budget. The boss fight itself was disappointing on many levels and a very bad followup to Messmer's fight. If Radahn resurrected as some side boss without all the lore changes happened, there'd be far fewer complaints. In a weird way, Radahn is a victim of being pulled into a story he didn't belong in, to follow up a far superior boss battle, and make a bad conclusion for the DLC. Miquella just had to drag him out of his grave to destroy his reputation.
>magic is easymode>everytime I try a pure caster build I devolve into an int/fth scaling somber 2h stick>with magic in particular, I was casting here and there until I picked up Moonveil and steamrolled the rest of the game never using a single spell again
>miquella was a strange anomaly in the lands between with mysterious motives>nah hes just a boss retard man raperelden ring more like rewrite wrong
>Radagon was always second best to Godfrey to the point Radahn idolized Godfrey>Radahn got beat by MorgottIt's like the Golden Lineage is inherently better than Radagon's lineage.
>>492112012I wish he had longer openings and that his phase 2 damage resistances weren't so bloated. This webm pretty much exemplifies the biggest problem I have with him; the reward you get for dodging all his shit is absolutely pitiful because he gives you so little time to do anything.
>>492130579Malenia BTFO'd Godrick and his army and Ranni killed Godwyn and Miquella mindbroke Mohg and the siege of Rykard's castle broke Morgott's army while being unable to stop Rykard.Morgott also stood aside and let Malenia march through the capital rather than even try to fight her.It's just Radahn who sucks.
>>492130625I think this highlights why this works in Sekiro more. In Sekiro, a successful parry can never guard break you and it deals posture damage to the enemy. Even if you never get a chance to attack for whatever reason, you are making massive progress at no guaranteed risk to yourself. There's no such situation here. An enemy hammering gets no downside on said enemy. It's not like bosses have a stamina meter.
without changing anything that happens and leaving the characters and their roles the same, write a narrative that makes the dlc make sense
>>492128930No matter whether you like Radahn or not, it is absolutely inexcusable that he gets brought back and gets absolutely zero dialogue or characterization in the entire DLC. Consort Radahn has about as much character as he did when he was a mindless zombie.
>>492130174Metafagging kills the fun for spellcasting. The most interesting way to play is to pick a spell school or theme and stick with it. Also strictly bench a spell once you get the intended upgrade.Basically it's not enough to be an "Int build", you are a Carian, or gravity mage or whatever.
>>492131017Miquella gets kidnap against his will by Mohg but is corrupted in some form by the time the DLC happens. This happens because his powers aren't >I touch, you gay nowBut something with far more restrictions. This way he isn't a completely psychopathic idiot before the DLC and Mohg isn't dindu nuffin. Abandoning the Haligtree, all his resources, and more is again his will.Miquella isn't shedding any flesh or compassion but the trauma, pain, and suffering from Mohg. He's trying to reinvent himself new and better but the more he does, the more of himself he loses to the point where he's practically a whole new person. Trina warns this means he never learns any lessons from his trauma and is vulnerable to becoming another tyrant like Marika.If Radahn still needed to die, make it the same reason as Ranni and the stars. Make it more>Miquella is too ashamed to return to the Haligtree and is trying to start anewRather than>Miquella's 5D chess plan relies on the Tarnished finishing all his plans for him because he stupidly let go of all his manpower
>>492131740Hey stupid faggot. Instead of writing all this get up and clean your piss bottles. God damn.
>>492131938No, his pics bottles belong to me.
>>492130414>>492131203Narratively, Radahn does so little that Leda being some Slave Knight Gael equivalent is equivalent or more fitting. Radahn might as well be replaced with a mimic tear in his image for all the 0 dialogue he gets.
>>492131938No u. His piss is mine. >>492131984See above
AyyyMe kellaAh ah ah ah
Did some say urine?
>>492132382Ur in big trouble for being a pissy little bitch
Radahn's body should've erupted in Blood flame for Phase 2. Formless Mother creates Mohgwyn by force-choosing Miquella like the Scarlet Rot did Malenia.
>>492121747Pc?
>>492121747Use pierce damage and go for the severed tail. It's not the best target but if you circle him right, you'll find many opportunities to strike it. At least that's how I won.
>>492131740>too ashamed to return to the Haligtreei like the idea overall but this feels a little weak
>>492132625I think it's just an inherently flawed idea to do all around, because by like having these 3 demigods converging into this one boss fight, atlwast two of thw three are going to be sidelined. If you did that, it'd kind of screw miquella over in the miquella dlc, if yoy had radahn go solo, same thing, and Miquella having his own solo phase would kind of nullify the reasoning of having the other two here like in the first placeThey successfully managed to screw all three
>>492133104True, it's too much like a little boy refusing to go home. It should be more like an irrational rape victim too ashamed of himself to think straight or someone who's trying too hard to create a new identity. The closest comparison I have at the top of my head is Griffith killing Gennon to hide his prostitution or Malacath trying to establish a new post-Trinimac identity.
Me would rather have adult body Miquella than Mohgdan.
>wins by doing absolutely nothing >can't kill his body>deathblight spreads as far as Farum Azula and Land of Shadow >his knights are still active >no way to get rid of him even without doing Fia ending

>>492133297maybe something that mixes the psychological aspect with the literal in-universe taint since that's a formless mother thing already
>be Miquella >steal heart of Tarnished>but he's going on Dung Eater ending >thus he believes it's a good thing to kill and defile>he's going to fight extra hard now to bless me
>>492134016>Mohg's cock leaves Miquella's butthole bleeding and now he's trying to find a cure
>>492134016At different sites where Miquella leaves messages before, now there's blood-themed enemies based around what part of him he discarded. He's trying to purify himself of this taint. The final boss is the summation of all of Miquella's defilement stuffed into one entity.
would you rathera) you play the original script of the dlc where you travel with miquella to various locations in the scaduworld where he discards his empyrean flesh to abandon his curse in order to succeed marika/radagon. the point of entry to the dlc is around malenia's boss room1) you have to beat up mohg of blood first to find leda, who will tell you that the husk is no longer miquellas body or soul or whatever, and she has to keep searching for him2) when you make it to the room before malenia's boss fight, leda will be in the area outside her room where you can talk to her and she will lead you a separate area nearby which is a more obvious gate to the scaduworld. you don't have to beat malenia to enter the dlc, you just need to get to that area 3) you and leda meet miquella and he recognizes you as a tarnished of the old order and wants to recruit you to his cause. if you accept you'll both go on pilgrimages to various places where you will meet along the way the hornsent, places in marika's history, her village obviously, messmer, the sunflower, the tower (the connecting point to scadoo) and whatever else. he appears to you at graces 4) at some point he will tell you he needs to discard st. trina and his great rune, which is a point of no return. the other npcs like hornsent (marika), ansbach (mohg), freya (radahn), thiollier (ex-perfumer in post-shattering leyndell) and whatnot are just lore loose ends that they help tie up. 5) after doing his quest (the dlc is just his version of the long ass ranni quest) you can choose his ending after beating elden beast. the big boss fight of the dlc is the finger mother who takes on several phases as all kinds of extraterrestial bullshit on the level of elden beast b) play the dogshit we got
its impossible to get summoned in vanilla ER, seamless is good but it sure did kill casual co-op
>>492134536Is killing myself an option
>>492134536>you can choose his ending after beating elden beastI'd rather need to fight Meytr as the DLC final boss rather than after the Elden Beast. She's not an Aidia.

>>492112012One of the worst bosses in the whole series TEE BEE AICH, in multiple fronts too
>>492092208They're changing Sekiro II's setting from Korea to China as we speak.
>>492112012The first time I fought him it felt absolutely miserable, but 5 playthroughs later, the only attack I feel like is out of place is the notorious criss-cross slash. As other anons mentioned, the lack of punish windows is also something that makes this fight a slog. Like yeah if you have a fast weapon you can get a stab in after his 3rd attack before the ground slam and explosion but everything else is a gamble. It feels too formulaic, unlike with Malenia - thats almost an intuitive dance. Also the weapons you get from his remembrance are an insult.
>>492137359Oh it doesn't matter.
Everyone probably mentioned this already, but just how much the DLC final boss pissed on Malenia's whole character in terms of lore, lmao.
>>492138794>made all 3 retarded>scrapped all of miquella's actual lore with their god thing fanfic>scrapped all we knew about radahn + made him gay and retarded>made mohg make no senseyeah

Everyone called Miquella the most fearsome empyreon and since he is a perpetual small child no fucking shit he had super mind control. Miquella was always associated with mind control. He almost certainly did mind control Marika at some point and learned of her assention at the gate of divinity.
>>492138794Malenia is supposed to be a tragic character. She got fucked up because of Miquella's obsessions the same way Messmer got fucked up because of Marika's
>>492139170I think it appealed to a lot of marvel fans and made them soi face when radahn did his pose
>>492108824Furious Blade of Ansbach's moveset is similar to Frayed Blade
>>492127201why so many
>>492130940>Malenia BTFO'd Godrickhydrogen bomb vs. coughing baby>Ranni killed GodwynYeah, her and 20 invisible assassins with death infused daggers>Rykard vs MorgottRykard has no army left other than a bunch of bums. Morgott can't really assault it since Volcano Manor fucking sucks and every enemy in the game is there, but it's not like Rykard won.
>>492131017Godwyn is Baldur. Miquella was supposed to be Hermod riding to Nifelheim(Shadow Lands) riding Sleipnir (Torrent), confronting Hel(Messmer) and freeing his brother. The tragedy would have been Miquella dying at the hands of his resurrected brother after we grew to love him observing his footsteps, which would be sites where he helped people of the shadow realm.
>>492139170no clue what pcr is
>>492142204use your brain anon, come on, you can do it!
>>492138208If it follows the journey to the West ending, sure.
>go to Twitter>see fan art of Miquella facing Mohg after he bodyjacks GodwynThey're real creative.
Reminder that biofoids don't post here and that all the posts pretending to be fujo/yume circlejerks are from troons exactly like the one who posted his flabby ass a few days ago
Good afternoon, erg. When is the spellmachinist game coming out?Will it redeem Zaki?
>>492144402It's morning. Never.Nio.
>>492102760replies to this post show how much anons follow coomer headcanons instead of in-game characterization
Is messmer the only hot guy in this game?
>>492145489Rykard might be hotter
Disintegrating people with this spell is fun, I like it.
>>492145792I don't think spells like this should be in the game
>>492145919I think they should desu
>>492134536I hate Miquella in the same way I hate Ranni so I wouldnt have liked that.I kill demigods, not side with them. Goldmask won.
>>492142204https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Polymerase_chain_reaction
>>492130414Sabah gang fight was better than Mikes anyway.
>>492143419Mohg would never do this to his real brother.
>>492145792>>492146943luv that spell.
>>492134016Since miquella's plan for the Haligtree involved his blood, if his blood was somehow tainted with bloodflame then it could explain why he doesn't continue that plan, he's affraid it would set it ablaze.
>>492131740>>492134016>>492150679It seems a consensus is Miquella not abandoning everyone he had out of free will but being forced to for whatever reason is better.
>>492128930There was some degree of disappointment among the Sekiro community when we never got a Tomoe boss and Inner Genichiro is the closest thing. In context, the Inner versions being upgraded versions of some important story bosses makes sense being imagined versions by Wolf.Now imagine the same reaction except magnified. What if Sekiro had a DLC and the final boss wasn't Tomoe or a newer character but a reused character instead. The playerbase would be pissed.
Any anons who look like Marika ITT?
I wish I was Rykard so bad bros
Starting over from a new character for the first time in like, over a year and I still can't believe that they put Margit as the first "true" boss.
Despite all the flaws, I still much prefer Elden ring to other games. There's something about the well defined combat animations and the overall art style that I don't find elsewhere. Attacks in other games look so spastic and weird to me
Any buffable weapon with innate bleed is massively improved with Bloodflame Blade. It has very low requirements, why don't more people use it?
>>492153358Low duration buffs are kinda annoying to use with all the reapplication
>>492153641What if this was the original plan and then someone at FromSoft saw this comic and they had to change it at the last second
>>492153641Miquella should have used godwyn’s body and not mogh for the zombie radhan.
Marika and the Gloam Eyed Queen were two personas within the same Empyrean

>>492152024Radahn was always the final boss of the DLC. There's zero cut content, and the idea that they restuctured and rewrote not just the final boss but all characters and their questlines since they all relate to the vow is unthinkable.The interpretation that Godwyn was going to be in the DLC was nonsense from the start, especially because of the Duskborn ending.
>>492117587The confusing part to me is how the Hornsent Warriors have a new dual wield moveset unlike previous enemies. Sure, kicks give some players Gundyr reminders but most is new. It would've been too obvious if they gave Radahn those moves but it always felt weird to me how they have original moves for almost everyone but Radahn. Bayle's moves are very different from the other dragons due to his mutilated body and using a tail in place of a leg. If Midra uses anyone elses moves then I never noticed. Even Rellana isn't as much of a direct Sulyvahn copy in comparison to Radahn lifting that combo.What the hell happened? Radahn's fight sticks out like a sore thumb for this.
>>492154020>There's zero cut content>he hasn't seen the datamining
>>492153770But that makes no sense.The whole point of the seedbed curse is that Omen bodies host wraths because of their horns, so they can be a vessel to souls ripped from the Erdtree.Just admit you want fanservice.
>>492153641I would've preferred if they made a zanzibart boss for shits and giggles.
>>492154178There's ZERO cut content, absolutely zero. Not only Elden Ring has the least cut contrnt of all Souls games, but Shadow of the Erdtree has actually 0 (Zero) content cut or flags for events that didn't happen.
>>492154372The really hilarious part of this whole bizarreness is lorewise Gaius is almost a perfect Zanzibart. A complete literal who, turns out to be one of the hardest bosses, and the lore is just "oh he's friends with that other guy you already know about"All we were missing was him having one(1) line of dialogue saying "forgive me Zanzibartette..." and us killing that albinaric woman behind him to loot some shit talisman called "Zanzibartette's Token". Just look at this thing>add detailed structure.>dump an important item(s) next to it>serve no other functionZero reason to have one of the hardest bosses guarding it if it serves no purpose.
>the headcanon schizoid will try to defend thisI demand an Incantation based on the FROMSOFT glazers. It's like pic except you weaponize the blood and tears into an attack.
