Elden beast sucked as melee. His weak spot is his glowing chest area, but the arena is so large you have to chase that fucker down whenever he went airborne or rolled his way to the other side. It was a complete pita. The saving grace was that he was still manageable as long as you stayed...

You don't need to go through all that trouble on a PS5. Just go to your settings and turn off auto-save right after you kill the last boss and touch the last site of grace. Reload for each of the endings you want, then turn auto-save back on after you get all 3 ending achievements.

Also it says in the flavor text "This is a legendary [item type]".

I don't think this is getting the scrutiny that it deserves. Let's look at the evidence: 1. Will Smith get so mad, he goes on stage and hits Chris Rock.....with an open hand. He SLAPS him like a little bitch. What kind of man hits another man with an open palm? He's angry, so I don't think...

Two things need to be factored in: your current income/assets and your current mortgage. That will determine how big a loan a bank will be willing to give you for your next home. Without knowing your personal finances, I can tell you the vast majority of people out there cannot qualify for...

Two that I am aware of: 1) You need to grab the Bolt of Gransax spear from Lyendell before you turn the entire city to ash later in the game. I would look it up online and get it while you are naturally exploring Lyendell for the first time. 2) Lichdragon Fortissax achievement requires you to...

It's for one of the endings. In fact, you need to do it if you want all the achievements because that particular ending is tied to one of them.

I think I died to the fire giant only twice, both in phase 1 learning the fight. My position is that being able to use your horse is like being able to use ash summons, it makes fights much, much easier. I had zero problems with any of the black knights, with those fights where you are dealing...

Yeah that's a great spell to have, basically 2 cures for 1 since it works on both poison and scarlet rot. Fairly low FP cost also. As for the level discussion, I think an average end game level is probably around 150. I plat'ed the game a few days ago and I ended up at level 165; I could...

It's been a while, and I'm not sure exactly who you are referring to......was it a guy in the lake? Anyways, I played as a STR/DEX character, wearing heavier armor for poise. Almost all the invasion NPCs and quick mini-bosses I would just roll in then continuiously hit them until they were...

No. Do all of them, I think there are 3. You get some nice rewards. Be sure to go back and talk to the people who were initially assigned the contracts, not just the queen lady.

That's the thing with all these Souls games, they are so much harder single player than multi-coop. Every single boss going back to Demon's Souls is made so much easier if you just summon someone in to help. You just need someone to hold the boss's focus and go defensive, other people go in...

I think maybe in the Dark Souls series (it's been a while so I dont quite remember), but not in Elden Ring. I've downvoted plenty of messages but they never seem to disappear for me. Maybe I need restart after downvoting? Dunno if I want to go through that trouble, I usually downvote and then...

Agreed. I'm also not sure why they don't do a system where if you personally downvote a message, it should disappear from your game, and a message that breaks a certain amount of downvotes should be removed from the system for everyone.

If you are new to the Playstation ecosystem, then you should go through the backlog of PS4 games that come free with a PS Plus subscription. They give you like 20 games as part of their PS Plus collection, 1/2 of which were like top-of-the-line games for PS4. I've bought 3 games for...

Hopefully he comes around like I did. Confession time: I bought Demon's Souls back in the day for PS3. I never died so much in my life, the game frustrated me, I don't think I killed more than one boss. I put the game away, thinking I would never play it again. Then Dark Souls came out, and...

Use a summon Stay on your horse Don't fall off cliff I actually had an easier time with him than the Fallingstar Beast in the mines. In the mines, the room you are fighting in is so small it was a lot harder avoiding his attacks. On the giant crater, I just ran in and out on my horse taking a...

We are about the same place in the game. I killed Godrey and the boss after him two nights ago. Now I am up north exploring, found one of those black wagons being dragged by 2 giants, inside was a warhammer called Great Stars - does bleed, heals a little bit on hits, and staggers, so perfect...

Honestly? Probably not worth it. It takes a certain amount of patience to play games like this. Souls games teach you not to "spam" attack buttons. It has a very methodical playstyle. ER is more forgiving than BB, but you will still have frustrations with encounters, in fact the majority of...

To add to that list, I also love how ruins actually look like ruins. Everytime I see one in the distance I can't help but go up to it and explore, looking for either 1) a site of grace and/or 2) a staircase leading to an underground chest.

Fallingstar is giving me hypertension. He’s gotta be the hardest non-boss boss I’ve fought so far. Probably a cakewalk as a caster but I’m still pure melee.

Mine is whenever I see that tombstone icon pop up on the left hand side of my screen......the one that means you can summon your NPC pets. It's always like "uh oh, shit's about the go down"

Yeah this is definitely something that takes getting used to, but you will find the game so much easier once you learn to lean in. Try practicing on those giants that are chained to the big black carts since they tend to be easier to dodge. Get in FRONT of one of them, and when they lift their...

Ah my bad, I thought that was what Qhue was referring to.

So when you get one of the runes, you can turn it in for one of 2 items, or consume it for a bunch of runes, just like in past Dark Souls games. For a mage, the Godrick Rune is useless because the rewards are an axe and fist item. Later on there are ones that will be more suitable for casters...

That hasn't been my experience. On PS5, when I drop my sign, it takes less than a minute, most of the time less than 10 seconds. As @ronne mentioned it's a great way to farm rune arcs, at least on the Playstation.

I would recommend always meeting whatever requirements a weapon needs, otherwise you are needlessly gimping yourself. Until you meet stat requirements, your weapon will have decreased attk/dmg values. When your stats get close, sometimes you can wield a weapon 2-handed and not suffer...

It seems to me they used him for name recognition only to help sales. Honestly I can't see his footprint on this game at all. The world building and in-game story clues don't seem that much different from past Dark Souls games. He probably laid down just the basic outline and foundation, but...

That has to be one of the biggest lies told so far. I remember that video where he said he thought the average playthrough of just doing the main quest line would take 30-40 hours, and Im here to say there is no fucking way. There is no way an average player, let alone a new player, can finish...

Yeah you can really tell the difference. Uncharted was good, Uncharted 2 was a masterpiece, 3 was decent, 4........seemed so different, and then come to find out Henning wasn't involved with it, so it made sense. Then they also ruined The Last of Us. The first one is a top 3 game for me all...

It’s not bugged. Go back to the main room with the round table. A previously closed door in that room is now open. Go there and learn some lore and meet someone cool 😁. Afterwards the other door will reopen and you can talk to him again.

Yeah he's tough using traditional dodge techniques, because his attacks are either super quick or super delayed, which makes timing hard until you get to know the fight. If you are good at parrying/staggering, that's the way to go. If you aren't (like me), then this is what I did to kill him...

No. That is part of the challenge of this game, the risk/reward…..do I press on, carrying a bunch of runes, or do I go back to camp and level, knowing that the level will reset? The runes that you can “store” are those golden runes you pick up. Each bigger size yields more runes, and they...

Don’t focus too much on stats, it’s more about play style. I would say for melee there are 2 main archetypes - the first is 2handers dodge/roll. So you keep light weight, you avoid attacks, and when the opportunity presents itself you strike. The other is high weight/poise shield with...

Which is also why in Souls games it’s important to watch your equipment weight. You never want to go over medium load, otherwise your dodge and rolls get really sluggish.

First bandit camp (Gatefront Ruins) has 2 big black carts you can’t miss. Both have chests, one contains a flail that requires 18 dex and I would say is the best early dex weapon you can find. The other contains a great sword which requires 16 str which I think is a great early weapon for...

Every chest and glowing item in the game is fixed, so everybody gets the exact same drops. Mob drops are random, fixed drop tables but small percent chance. There are items in the game that can increase this chance.

I had a very similar experience:

Started as wretched, so you have to dump a lot of points to get to the point that you can use those weapons. I’m putting first points into vitality and endurance since those are always needed, and club is surprisingly effective especially when stealthing. It’s also much better at breaking than...

In previous Souls games there were Covenants, which were like guilds. So you could join a certain covenant that would reward you if you killed others when invading, or reward you if you defended others from invasion. I honestly never got into it so not sure how good/bad rewards were. The only...
