By Fenderputty Go To PostI’m having a harder time with this general dude on a boar than I did with Messmer 😂hardest boss in the game by far
Did the Lion last night, bit of a shit boss with readability and camera shitting bed every time he gets close, but rinsed. Found myself in a place with a bunch of dragons after lol
Finished off Liurnia/Raya Lucaria/Caria Manor. Picked up the Ranni quest line and made my way to Caelid. Somewhere between all that I realised I'd forgot to kill a dragonkin soldier in Siofra. So I corrected that mistake.
Still using the Lordsworn's Greatsword since I haven't found a suitable replacement yet. Or more precisely, I've dumped all of my levels into vigour so I don't have the stats to use any of the cooler weapons yet.

Radahn’s in the mud. I fucking hate Caelid. Places gives me the heebie-jeebies. Started on Nokron last night, left off at killing the gargoyles.
Had to switch my build up to deal with them solo. Swapped from my trusty Lordsworn Greatsword to the Bloodhound Fang with blood grease to DPS the first gargoyle down fast enough to deal with the second.

glad I looked at this before wasting stones on milady smh.
Got the O mother gesture on my own but had no idea what to do with it, did you figure out how/where to use it on your own?I kinda get the logic with the headless statue but damn near every statue is headless. I found Trinaon my own(before I even met thollier) but I looked up all the options before I drank the koolaid. Was there some npc or item description that said you had to do it 4 times? I definitely would have stopped at 1. Also how was I able to summon thollier against leda when I killed him and he was eternally asleep?
Oh and Mesmer and Trina were my favorite character designs.

By C4-621 Go To PostOptionalYeah, think I got through most of the content before the end, not on my own though, kept seeing shit online that I missed and looked up. I did end up discovering and doing about half of Ymirs quest organically but I looked up the rest. How do I get jolans armor? Also, why are those ruins so big but empty? I guess they just ran out of time/money.
make sure you do Ymir's questline for an extra boss and I assume you found Midra's estate and St. Trina? After you're done with Ymir, use the Iris of Occultation on a nearby NPC for a DARK anime katana

Jolan's armor hidden in the Bonny goal. And you get the Katana from her using the black iris
No there isnt AFAIK. I did the gesture and drinking the koolaid on my own yeah! I'm quite used to their quests bullshit at this point lol and they do the gesture thing quite often. I was trying to reach the area behind that room. With Trina I was fucking around to see if it would piss off Thollier and it scared the shit out of me
I'm not sure lmaoooo. He's the only one you find alive after fighting him though, killing the others kills their summon signs/quests
the only link between the gesture and that room is the Dev message about the shamans. Since you find it in the village where they were tortured

Although I have no memory of this Jarburg place from my first time around.

It's funny because the dragonkin in Ainsel river also reminded me of the same, that I forgot to kill the one in Siofra. I had forgotten where the teleporter was.... Bit of a thing with this game after not playing it for a while; you remember where most stuff is and you can just Torrent past most stuff to your objectives, but then you miss some steps from the time you were still first discovering the world. Quests make much more sense now at least.
Sword and Board lol take that boom or more like poke
Last boss was dumb … everything else was rad … maybe not the hippo dude tho

Quests have been kinda weird for me. When I played it on release, I followed the Ranni questline to a T, completely blind. This time round I actually had to look up a walk through in a few part’s because I’d missed a step.
Feels good to absolutely slap bosses I struggled with on my first run though. Godskin at the bottom of the Caelid tower took me a good couple hours originally. This time, nailed it in one attempt.
Partly because I’m just better at the game now, and partly because a maxed out bloodhound fang absolutely slaps.
Actually looking forward to Malenia this time. My build is strong and my chakras are in tune with the game.
Beast claws are fun. I’m gonna do a ng++ run to play with some weapons that weren’t viable for me at end game of dlc. Should be able to do all three endings for the plat too that way. Couple more item to game and it’s off to the base game ending.
I ran the shield dropped by Moore with high str and arc. It has super high guard boost so very little stamina drain. Couple that with +holy and the pearl shield talisman and stat like 50 endurance and you can pretty much face tank the last boss.
Stats are good for claws right now. Gonna fuck with this and then meteoric great sword for a little before swapping to rellanas in ng++

I didn't know about 3 or that you can actually heal the injured ones in 7 💀
Edit: or the Torrent charge raisin💀
By s y brev Go To Postthe deathknight axe ash is cool. its the lightning dash but with an attack at the end.
It was my build for first half of game
The Elden beast fight is so much better with the horse
Your obvious next "story" destination is that massive castle in Scuda Altus, aye? Decided not to go there and ended up smashing Bayle up and completing a few associated NPC quests revolving around him.
By Fenderputty Go To PostThe NPC summon for Bayle is amazing
He's just fucking mental the whole way through lol
Rellana's Twin Blades fucking slaps. Rellana's Twin Moons Sorcery hits for 8k damage and staggers with each hit.
I enjoyed the twin blades and at lvl 200 have stats to pump into int and faith to make the AOW viable for both, but I found the flame version is just too long / hard to pull off against bosses as you almost always get interrupted.
They have these amazing AoW but then design bosses that only have a window that allows for an R1 it a quick R2. Backhand blades AOW seems ideal if you’re going with a dex build.
I’m running poison stomp right now with high STR and ARC. Gives me flexibility to go bleed with claws, bleed with leg, bleed with that sword lance dropped by the general, and stats for the meteoric greats sword plus stats for a shield if need be. Just need to unlock the hold on my NG2 run and then sprint to the lake so I can find and use larval tears lol.

Got to Mountaintops of the Giants on my mage save (lvl 125) and thought I couldn’t be fucked to do that stretch of the game right now. Mountaintops and Haligtree are easily my least favourite parts of the base.
So went back into the DLC. Had found my way to Castle Ensis and Rellana first time in, but holding off on fighting her again and doing Belurat instead. Great music. Fucking spider cunts.

Was doing Latenna's quest... It's actually my girl, Shadowheart! I never knew... What a nice surprise.
This DLC taught me the love of the bonk … lol. I used to be a Dex focused player but the bonk is strong in this game lol

Get a big club and put waves of darkness as the Ash. Stunlock enemies for days
Never been a fan of the big heavy weapons. I’m so fucking bad at using buffs and grease and shit and everything I see. I’m absolutely a roll like a fucking moron and get lucky player lol. Quick hits and out.
Found the poison fists. Gonna give that a go. Backhand blades seem good but need to get them up to +30 to do anything.

FWIW my bonk build has 25 fth for a single buff and then the mixed phisick and that’s it.
Lots of bonk weapons can have AOW applied and affinities changed too. Thrusting weapons are also top tier with counters. That thrusting sword with bleed and a shield makes most all situations manageable

Yeh i'm carrying a big bonking Magic Great Club with the dark waves ash, alongside the Ranni Twin Blades for when i'm feeling spicy.
Might go back to my dual bleed estocs at one point.

Had ten minutes between getting home from work and feeding baby, so booted it up and fought the lion for the first time. Killed me twice in ten seconds flat. Brought in the redmane and did it third time. Cool fight. Elden Ring needs a boss replay mode.
Yes!
I feel like they intentionally limit larval tears and don’t implement boss replay systems because it could deincentivize new game plus runs

I played the majority of the DLC using str / arc or str / fth and want to play with the new dex weapons. Running bleed backhand blade. What a fucking sick weapon. Holy shit. Blind spot is super awesome.
Need to farm more larval tears now though I only have one left.

The backhand blades are a blast and I’m having a ring of fun with em. That said I’m already wanting to do a str build again because I’ve exclusively done quality or dex builds for all my souls games
I’m thinking of trying to come up with a guard counter build that doesn’t use a shield but utilizes a 2H weapon. Need to find one with high guard boost and respectable physical reduction.
Hmmmm …

Yeah try the bonk weapons!
Deflecting Hard Tear increases the guard counter damage too so this should be fun

Did it and am currently running the greatsword of solitude as it has 89 phys reduction and 52 guard boost. fat boy set dropped by Moore minus sheld and helm with prime Radahn circlet to maintain medium load
30 forth for defensive buffs flame protect me, golden cow and the HO regen one., tears are the deflecting tear for guard counter and the one that enhances stagger.
Talismans are curved sword for guard counter / two headed turtle for stam regen, peril shield and shield talismans
RL200
60vig / 15m / 50end / 80str / 21 dex / base int / 30fth / base arc
So far it’s really effective and the L2 gives it some range for certain enemy types.

That sounds terrifying 😭
The Greatsword of Damnation is fucking hilarious especially in PVP. If you land the Golden Crux on someone you get the same violent animation from the boss fight

Fucked up Ansbach's quest but everything else going as planned. Forced into Leda's assassination path due to aforementioned fuck up. Ymir's events were pretty cool, couple of fun invasions and a good optional boss.
Fuck those snake worm thing that shoot a pink lazer at you that grabs you and teleports another face sucked there … fuck then 😂
I've instinctively jumped the first time when I saw the moon dropping down but then the second one dropped and smashed me lmaooo
