I'm doing the far-north Haligtree part of the gsme to get the super katana. This is a side area and it's SO HUGE. Literally the size of a DLC from another Soulsborne game. It's structured just like a DLC, too. Get an obscure key item out in the world, defeat a tough optional boss, gain entry...

Two questions: What's that 47 dex katana called? And what's the item to forge a weapon to max called? Looked up Smithing Shard +9, Smithing Slab, Smithing Stone Slab, nothing.

That's me in the earlier Monster Hunter games (3 and 4). I can't lock on anything so I spent most of my short playtime swinging at air. Probably gonna give up on those, which is sad cause I know people who swear by them and that I'd love them if I gave them a chance. No lock-on in a Souls-like...

The fuck?

I like that big Kamehameha-type beam spell. No idea which field it's in (looks like Sorcery). Several bosses and invaders have one-shotted me with it if they caught me mid-animation. Looks cool, does a ton of damage, isn't something I've seen before in these games. There's also an ice wave move...

Yeah, I'm all about grabbing a cool item early and building around it or whatnot, but I don't understand all these videos that are like "one-shot bosses from the beginning" or "gain 300k souls AFK overnight in the first area" because it's like...why would anybody completely fuck over their first...

I didn't say it was a problem, I literally said one of the good things about open world is that you can run to places "early" and get things you aren't supposed to have yet. Rajaah said: 3: The open world environment is simultaneously the best and worst thing about this game. I love that you...

Yeah, I've had a similar issue with Ghost Glovewort 8. I'll have a maxed-out summon (two, actually) whenever I can find an 8. Looks like they might only be in a sidequest area I didn't do and can't go to, so I'll have to get the appropriate ball bearing (in like, the final or 2nd to last area of...

I kinda want this because of how visually-stunning it is. Unfortunately racing sims like this have always been kinda bland to me, definitely prefer the Mario Kart / Extreme-G / Wipeout style battle racer. Blur on the PS3 was the best of both worlds and had realistic cars/weather plus powerups...

Elden Ring totally nails the art direction, even if the actual visual resolution / light effects are a step down compared to Demon's Souls Remastered. Art direction can totally save a game visually. I've been playing things in performance mode pretty much all the time, but I do like turning on...

I think Caelid is way tougher than Altus. Probably head to Altus next IIRC. Siofra might be worth a look, but it's pretty rough at low levels.

I've been trying to find something that looks halfway sexy on a female character. Maybe a ballroom dress or something, at this point. The nicest garb I've found is the crimson hood, and the "sexiest" is probably the Foot Soldier's Tabard IIRC because without pants it's basically a short skirt...

The Raya Lucaria door was sealed, and it didn't look like a key situation, so I figured it'd unseal later after I beat some particular boss, and left. Little did I know, there's a key, and it's like 600 feet away in the swamp somewhere. It was that easy the whole time.

If I switch my Godskin Peeler from Keen to Blood for the buildup effect, plus the Darth Maul enchant, what else can I do to boost the bleeding effects? Any particular accessory or something I'm not thinking of? I know there's one twinblade with built-in bleed buildup that'd probably be able to...

1: The movement is fine, I think it's based more on Sekiro now rather than Souls. You're faster moving and much more agile, and platforming is actually fun, finally. Someone who cut their teeth on Souls and doesn't like Sekiro might have issues with it though. 2: The white letters were a stupid...

I've got a keen Godskin twinblade now with B scaling for Dex. Still wondering if I should switch to a Bleed twinblade and take the DPS hit in hopes that I'll get some huge bleed procs. I'm using the enchant that causes hemorrhaging but I'm not sure if it's actually working. Most of all I want...

I agree with the second one. Stopped reading messages a while ago because about 75% of them were misinformation. Like every goddamn wall has a "fake wall" message in front of it. Makes me want to play offline entirely. This is the cost of the game being wildly popular though, all the lowest...

Me too I think, since I'll have a ton of the spells to choose from at that point. If I have to start over for whatever reason I'm going Samurai though. No clue when I'll get back to this after I see the end credits, cause it's consumed enough from me already. I'll absolutely platinum it...

In the snow area now. I think I could probably head for the final boss at this point, but I'm trying to max out my +19 weapon. Just need to find the mines in the snow region, I'm guessing. Note: The Giant-Killer's Grave (or something like that) crypt dungeon in the snow area is bugged and might...

What's a good mixture for the Flask of Wondrous Physick? I'm using the roll enhancement and restore half HP...because they're all I have. I just defeated a mandatory story boss with a 2% completion rate on the trophy for it. That's one way to tell where you are in relation to the rest of the...

Elden Ring's sheer gorgeousness can carry it even if you aren't into Souls games, I think. But yeah, YMMV. It gets really tough later on.

If you order it yourself and PM me the code that should work fine. I'm gonna use it like immediately

Does Elden Ring count for a backlog challenge BTW? I vote no even though I'm gonna probably beat it soon after nolifing the past several days. It isn't backlogged, it's new. Dunno, may want to specify. If it counts, that's fine with me too. 8 backlog things I'd like to finish after the Elden...

I found an int scaling sword earlier...Crystal Sword, I think? It looks badass too, like a blue energy sword, kind of. I've been using the HP regen talisman for like the whole game, it's so good. Saves on estus when you're at a boss door and don't mind sitting for a minute to regen, etc...

What is that icon with the red X? That's the one I've been getting and I'm not sure what it is. And here's my HP a day later after focusing entirely on it with all the exp I got today / had stored. That's only 25ish levels, too. Hopefully now I stop getting one-shotted...

Yeah, I summoned an invader earlier and he did this completely broken AOE ice spell that locked me in place, inflicted Frostbite status, and killed me in a couple casts. I could see him catching everybody off guard with that. Other than that the multiplayer has been great in this, I've been...

I've been totally unable to do that fight myself. About 75% of the time when I go in to hit him, I just get immediately hit since his attacks are so sweeping and there's so little delay between them. He kills me in 2 hits, sometimes 1 even at full health. So the fight could be awesome with me...

I think I'm gonna switch to the Godskin Peeler and respec my Str into HP/Dex. My survivability is starting to suck in the higher level areas. The GP doesn't have bleed IIRC but it looks like the best overall twinblade.

With all the talk about how good Bleed is in this game, I looked into switching up the Twinblade to proc it (in addition to the Darth Maul enchant I already have). Looks like I'd lose a lot of Str scaling (and I have 50 Str) but not a huge amount of overall attack, plus I'd gain blood loss...

Oops, wrong thread. While I'm here, @Crone I'll go with an Amazon card card at your earliest convenience. Best Buy also works if Amazon's a no-go for whatever reason! Need to find some solid mood lights and set up a streamer vibe in here even though I don't stream.

But how will we know that slavery is bad without games Using Their Platform to moralize?

Yeh, I agree. I already filled in the blank (read: made it all up in my head) that Stormveil was afflicted with some kind of virus that made everyone go insane and genocide each other, hence the piles of bodies and all the defensive equipment set up to try and keep the afflicted out. Little did...

I keep reading about how Stormveil is this huge castle with tons to do that is as big as all of Boletaria, etc. I don't get it, I ran through it just like any other area fairly quickly. Wonder if I missed a ton of stuff. I took the "death route" through the main gate rather than the side route...

I got the Twinblade and the Darth Maul enchant (which sadly doesn't stack with the Twinblade's L2 attack buff, unsure which is actually better). Twinblade absolutely wrecks fodder mobs and anything that gets staggered by it. Bosses, the Golden Halberd seems to still be better against those...

That's one of the 3 bosses I've found that I wasn't able to beat yet. Learned his attacks well enough, but still, the sheer size of the boss makes it hard to avoid. He reminds me of Antlion from FF4. ANTLION SURE AS HELL AIN'T TAME. The other two are Starscourge and the gaol rematch with...

I just reached 30 hours /played so I'm pretty sure I'm going to be fighting the final boss any minute now.

I gotta mull it over cause TBH I have no idea. Best Buy gift card an option? I'd like to get some of those mood light bands all the streamers have on their walls now and I've only seen them at BB.

Congrats to me and Yaph, woo hoo! Damn, @Regime comin' in hot in the 4th quarter. March is gonna be a battle I think

Golden Halberd all the way. Even if I switch to Twinblade, I'm still going to use the GH for mounted fights. As was said already, the charged double swing does massive damage on horseback. Anyone know what's up with the Great Lift of Dectus? It looks like a random stone monument to me and...

Lightning Returns is worth a look for anyone who liked FF13-2 or Majora's Mask. It's a hybrid of the two and once it makes sense, it's a great RPG. I still haven't gotten to GOTG but I can't wait.
