Finally got a chance to play, took down the fog dragon and then went back to Haligtree and made it to Loretta. Jesus she is cheesy, took me like 8-10 tries but some of those phase 2 quad magics didnt seem dodgeable. Maybe I just suck at timing but like I could dodge 5 out of 6, but the 6th...

Im actually considering a level 1 naked playthrough but I need to get better at parrying first otherwise I doubt I could even take Margit on, gonna try to use that tactic with Malenia if I can ever make it to her. (I couldn't help watch that level 1 ong bak guys video, he made it look so easy!

I agree with most of those comments, and the crazy thing is I still think it's an 11/10 game in SPITE of the obvious flaws. I don't know when the last time a game had me thinking about it when I was working; it's just that good, and honestly, I wish I had more time to play so I wasn't so far...

Wonder how long a wait it'll be for DLC? At the rate I get to play I probably still have another month or so left of my first playthrough, then I'll probably start from scratch again and follow guides for a 2nd playthrough where I try to find everything, so that's another 2-3 months. Maybe by...

Agreed although I only dipped my feet and maybe got 1 or 2 grace sites before I dipped. If I continue with the Fire Giant and beyond will I still be able to go back before I finish the game?

Is the timing that much easier with the buckler parry? I've been parrying with the bronze shield and seem to be about as consistent with that as I have been the few times I've tried the buckler, I actually think the Captain Niall fight I won was just using the bronze shield for the 100%...

Hmmm I think I did but thats where I left the zone, took a good amount of tries but I did kill those 2 and got the weapons

I did Rannis quest but thats really it, nothing else really in sofria or ainsel / nokstella if I am remembering correctly.

Fixed it thanks, I definitely should have known that!

Okay so I made it to Haligtree, left there and killed Rykard, not really sure what to do next.

Niall down, was kinda a pain but only took about 5 tries thanks to parry. Honestly I think I died more times to the dual wielding spectre than I did to him, but I will say Niall had like 2 attacks that almost 1 shotted me if I wasnt topped off. I went up to Haligtree or whatever and I already...

I finally got time to play this weekend, I did the assassination missions as well as the full volcano dungeon, made it to Rykard and detoured to explore more in the mountaintops. The sadist part of me wants to kill Rykard without the weapon but after a few attempts I could only get his first...

Game is never making it to Alpha, let alone beta. I wish it would, but it definitely seems like a scam at this point.

If that's really the case I'm kind of sad, I definitely felt Radahn was tightly tuned for a solo melee build, but with so many options and Summons available I didn't think it needed much of a nerf. Oh well, guess I'll see how it goes if I ever finish my first playthrough, really wish I had...

Oooooh, no talismans, thats a good idea, not sure I could progress very fast although aside from minor stat boosts and stam regen, I guess the negate magical damage would be the one I'd miss the most.

I think I am officially overleveled. I 3 shot the fully grown fallingstar omw to the volcano, should have got it first try but the bastard landed the grab and I died when he was at like 30%, then my second attempt I didnt jump off my horse fast enough and he killed me in like 2 seconds.

Crazy part is I'm sure someone will do it, no doubt.

Very true, starting as Wretch made the initial leveling faster, but at the same time not having any equipment slows you down a lot more than you'd think. Once you geta decent weapon and armor set you like it tends to go a lot faster, especially once you tackle a few mini-bosses for the nice...

I'm jealous, hit level 102 in mountaintop of the Giants and haven't had time to play anymore. I apparently missed Mt Gelmir and Volcano completely and now I'm thinking if I go there I'll be overleveled for the trash mobs at least. Hoping to hop back on tonight, game is still game of the decade...

You can lock on by pushing in the right stick if you're on controller. You get the horse by finding a small amount of grace sites, don't think it matters which ones. (The little glowing things that let you rest). You can find a decent longsword in a chest before the castle where you see a camp...

So I never actually found the cave where Patches was, crazy too because I found 2 other ones RIGHT nearby, but I found him today at level 102, one hit dropped him to 0%, but thankfully it looks like they made it so the first hit cant kill him. Crazy how much stuff I probably missed so far...

Nah I actually told him to try and work magic into his build, I just didn't realize how weak it was until you pour points into Int or whatever. (I read that here, never really did a spell casting build). Actually looking forward to my 2nd playthrough, I'm thinking a hybrid dex / caster build...

Hahahaha I got that set but didn't equip it yet, that's hilarious! I may have to throw it on if I dont go to Heavy roll mode. I also just killed that bitch ass Miriam!

I feel bad because I convinced a friend of mine to get this and the souls series never really clicked for him. He did get Bloodborne but I think he hit a wall at Father G. The good thing is his Bro In Law is also playing it, and making decent progress, so Im hoping he sees how good it can...

Yep thats me :)

I get it, but I just like to have my initial playthrough solo melee, I honestly would love to go without a shield too but I'm just not that good yet. I am already planning a second play through with using summons ashes and all of the above..... To me, I like starting as level one and just...

Zero summons or ashes aside from using one for a frost proc, no npcs or anything, definitely banged my head against a few walls but Im level 92 and at the giant mountaintops. Still having a blast but wish I knew what the hell I need to do for some of these quests, such vague descriptions and...

I feel ya, still haven't summoned or used the ashes or whatever and at level 92, but I have used the golden halberd a bit just because it's so much fun to joust with.

You're not necessarily wrong but at the same time, I really couldn't have seen an open world souls game working as well as it did, either. I guess we will see but I'm praying we at least get a proper sequel to both Elden Ring as well as Bloodborne, both are top notch in my mind.

Yeah I can totally agree with some of the repetition in terms of bosses / enemy variety / movesets, but the sheer size and enjoyment I get just from the exploration aspect makes this game above the other titles... If they continue to flesh out ERs formula I can't even begin to think what the...

Finished Margott andbwas trying to figure out how to make it to the mark on the map.....after the grace site I went back up and had like 4 flasks left and suddenly everything went black and I had to fight 2 fell onens. Jesus that was a nightmare, I beat them with zero flasks left and like a...

Margott down, took a while to get my brain to stop panic rolling everytime I got hit, but it really wasnt too bad, aside from that stupid blood attack that almost 1 shotted me. Still think Radahn was my hardest encounter so far.

Couldn't agree more, I'm at like 65 hours played and just got to Margott last night, I did kill the adjucators after being warped to volcano area, and just killed the lightning Tree Sentinel, which, btw, is cheesy as fuck with the lightning bolt. You have to dodge perfectly to avoid it, seemed...

Not yet, pretty sure I saw the entrance but didn't go in yet, trying to down Margot first, a lil harder for me then Margit*

I got it literally as soon as I killed Godfrey, at least I don't think I even transported at all. Sucks if you got glitched, maybe you didnt get a different slot?

Holy shit is Leyndell Capitol is Huge. I haven't even found the Fell Omen dude yet and I have like 4 or 5 sits of Grace that are all away from each other, was climbing tree branches and some stone dragon wings. Does piss me off a ton of normal enemies have the Crucible Knight moveset, but at...

Wow just beat the black knight gargoyle or whatever his name was......was intense even though I was pretty comfortable with his moveset dealing with the dual gargoyles yesterday. One badly timed dodge and I'd get 2-shot with ease. I know I'm supposed to do the Capitol next but I keep finding...

I stayed locked on except when she summons minions, then I unlocked and ran until they disappeared. Just have to get good at the timing on dodging her missle spells and run in, poke a few times, and then run out. Really wasnt too bad around level 55 or so, was just annoying that I had to do...

Okay so Dual Gargs done, im going back to Sofria River to light the torches and go from there, still not entering the capitol at 60 hours played, but I really hope I'm not super overleveled, starting to feel that way. Maybe I'll stop farming for a bit until regular enemies seem a little more...

Okay so after I beat Astal and got the moonlight sword which Ill never be able to use, I started exploring the Capitol area. I didn't realize how many rune I'd collected and ended up going from like 74 to 83 from runes alone. I also upgraded the golden halberd to +8 and it definitely seems...
