Bayle took me a lot of tries on my caster run, mostly due to him being a hyper aggressive spastic mob that jumps you before you even get to summon anything with lots of chip damage, AOE Spam, and 30 second wombo combos. So, like half the bosses in the game. As an Unga with fingerprint shield...

There is only one that you have to engage on the ground. The rest can all be popped by tossing three Furnace Pots into their pie hole. And everything needed to make more (even the vissage) is farmable. I am more annoyed by the Mario game you have to play to figure out where to toss the Huge...

This. Its like you have never dealt with women before. And never talk about CCW shit in front of co-workers, let alone female ones. You are just begging for a visit from HR.

Trash being tougher is nothing new in a Souls game, especially a DLC. I am not a huge fan of it when that difficulty comes from spammy hyper agro enemies, but its not as if we have not seen this before in the series. The two main issues that mar what is otherwise to me a perfect experience are...

If its the giant mace/hammer ones, there is a secondary attack from a charged R2 on those weapons that they all use that makes a mini explosion (similar to the one for the Ruins GS) that has a hit box a lot bigger than it looks on screen. Its purely a ground attack so it can be jumped, making...

Someone obviously has never been to blight, town. Or the blizzard zone with the super raped electrical horses. Abysmal woods is a one note joke, but it's easy to scoot.Past the super mobs if you suck at parry. Its biggest flaw is that there is really nothing to do there and, unlike the...

Yeah, I.was specifically recommending the wind slash thing.Because it lets you use your malay attack power at A distance against Radahn. Plus you can slot it to the guts great sword that he should have by now. Academic, since he down.

Early game, the wind slice art that drops in Stormveil is a good one to pop on a generic two hander, if you are unga bunga. You can sick the NPCs on him and pop him at a distance, with or without Rot, and win the fight without having to learn his goofy hit boxes. The issue with the fight as...

Largly depends on if this is a first time run and how much pre-fight leveling you do, but yeah if you do what the designers wanted and toss Rot Breath in the mix he is very do-able for the point in the game where you theoretically should be hitting him (just post Renalla but prior to Atlas...

Only issue with killing Mesmer early is it locks out a ton of NPC quest chains, most of which have some fairly nice rewards tied to them. This also makes the second to the last fight a lot more challenging, Unlike killing Malekith however, it does not cut off any physical access to existing...

Lightning Perfume tactic is going to get nerfed, at least the Rolling Sparks weapon art will. The Finger Shield with Bleed Spear most likely will not. I beat him with a friend Shield tanking him for me while I zapped him from moderate distance, which was not too rough once we had our execution...

I mean, scarlet rot has existed in s9me version since DS1, where it was called Toxic. And 12 ARC dragon breath spells are an early thing. If Elden ring was your first soul's game, then I understand but anyone who would play prior games pretty much figured out the rot dragon breath immediately...

Yeah I dont think I have ever run out of the Larvals, even without the DLC. Speaking on the Uzi spear, as I have pointed out before if you are either kind of caster you are going to invest in the opposite casting stat because the best Seals and Catalysts in the game are the dual stat ones for...

If you have been reading the lore, Miquella as part of the whole ascent to godhood thing abandoned physical form entirely. Most of it is explained in the arc stakes at those grace spots, but its also hinted at elsewhere. Why the tranny god of sleep needed to bang and or possess his own brother...

Not sure how you did not have rot breath, its literally in the same zone and any generic dragon heart can buy it without having to kill even a named dragon to do it. Fire Giant I totally get, especially if you were not cheesing bleed back at release. Melenia is still a giant cunt unless you...

If I am going to spend hundreds of hours staring at the character's ass, I prefer it to be a female ass most of the time. This is true for me of most RPGs, though I will generally do one run of each just to see different story options in game. You apparently prefer to stare at man ass all the...

You can drop Elden Beast and still dive into the DLC before starting a NG. In fact if you are a build that needs a lot of stats to get good scaling/access to specific weapons/spells I recommend taking the sword from EB up to Bird Mountain and farming the goobers there to at least get Vit up to...

If you have a friend on the same platform you can trade many things, including weapons or armor. Makes second runs a lot of fun. Stuff like the golden blade, death bird lance, ect are useful to noob characters.

Dancer Mausoleum, far to the southwest in Cerilian coast.

They went back and expanded his hit boxes, which did nothing to hamper casters but made melee against him a lot harder (not release levels, but pretty tough). I think Mirizaki hates watching naked dudes with the Rykard Spear no hitting shit or something.

Rykards Rancor completely fucks this boss over (as well as the Scorpion Centaur bitch to a degree). But if your timing and aim suck, Giants Flame Take Thee works pretty well, too. Melee wise, the flame perfume bottle with the right stats and buffs completely trashes the shit out of it as well.

In a game with incredible DLCs, this one is probably the standout. I had a friend who worked on the team for that game and according to him, this was them rolling all of the best ideas from Van Buren into the new Bethesda FO universe. Honestly FONV with its expansions might be the only game to...

Radahn is rough as an unga bunga. You definitely want a weapon art to be able to apply damage at range (rot dragon breath is also a big help with minimal requirements) to tackle him. Killing him as a dagger user was really aggravating, prompting me to eventually resort to spamming the Reduvia...

If he has not been doing the Ranni quest line, then Radahn festival might not be triggering. He can do the rape fight in the festival area for Ruins Greatsword, in that case. BB is indead among the best weapons in the game for the art, for a two handed user with the right stats (even post...

PS the Ruins Greatsword is coming up soon as an option (can be done prior to triggering Radahn Festival or after completing it) along with many great Bunga weapons in the Rykard area (big red hammer thing, Hephan's Steeple if you have some INT, Star Beast club, ect) so if you are bored of the...

Get a Brass Shield for certain fights (lots of mobs drop them) and practice guard counter (its easy and good for certain fights). Grafted will carry you a long while until you can get the Ruins Greatsword or any of the multiple weapons that drop around the same time (The "Guts" greatsword that...

Some of the dungeon bosses are fairly rough, like the dude who makes a billion copies of himself or the goblin with the Moonveil. Most are like the base game, which is to say basic if you have a strong build and acting mainly as a teaser to late game hall trash. I found myself wishing there...

I freely admit as a long time Souls and From fan, I generally do my first play using the Monnlight Greatsword setup. I mean, its their signature weapon and been in every single game. But I also fuck around with other builds. In fact, yesterday I decided to try running three characters through...

Haven't beaten it as a caster.I don't think sixty vigor is required. But I do think you need at least forty and probably with a decent shield to manage against the later bosses. The red flask Talisman and good conservative play Or enough to close the gap with sixty vigor Unga in most cases...

The funny part here is that the big dude is entirely optional. You only really need to kill him if you're doing the sorcerer quest.

https://eldenring.wiki.fextralife.com/Spiked+Spear Yeah. For Casters with high faith, the weapon art outclasses the DMGS. And it's solid as a melee weapon in general with it being a bleed proc spear.

W3 main strength is its story and characters. The story was flawlessly executed and it had two very different yet amazing endings. The one where O Dimm wins was incredible.

As for me, I wrapped up most of my first semi casual run tonight. I did not feel like leveling up a finger shield and repeccing just for the last boss, so I got my co op buddy (who did ) to tank both the final boss and Bayle for me. After taking many tries to drop the final boss, we one...

I literally said you were wrong. ER is fun for people who are not pussies, or at least deal with challenge constructively. And yes, you absolutely can just log on and bang out a dungeon. I regularly just put myself in coop for randos to help them out because it is stress free fun for me...

Largely agree but the key is two fold. First, take a couple twink items from your comprehensive play to dump to your new guy. Second, just skip anything not relevant to that specific playthrough. You always need to run the bell bearing stuff (and Ranni quest at least long enough to get the...

Its in Caelid, at the fort with the shortcut to outside Rahdan's palace, but on the backside between to flame thrower carts (you can sneak in and grab it if you need to). Its not much for stat reqs (think Cleansing Flame) and has a massive impact on certain fights and weapons. Blasphemous...

No argument here, but I think that really only applies to the end boss (bad I agree) and maybe Bayle (who is optional so ... meh). The real issue is the MP/Summon scaling being fucked. At least I hope they address that, because I cannot get my wife to play this casually with me in its present...

He melts to several caster strategies... if you have a summon or co-op. I think I one shotted him with Ancient Rancor and I was not even expecting him when I found him. He is basically the mounted Black Knight fights with the dials up to 11. If you are melee, this is a good time to get a...

I read it and rank it up with your steam power derail in terms of Chris hot takes. The game is immensely replayable, even if you have seen every inch of it. Simply going through with an entirely different build (and there are tons) is a complete new experience. What makes it replayable is the...

I am up to the last boss. Watched my coop pal do it alone. He respecced into fingerprint shield and chicken leg club, eventually changing to the blood fork. Took a while but he literally just turtle counterpoked his way to victory at zero risk once he slotted the fork. I don't feel like...
