    Elden Ring - From Software + George RR Martin

    I legitimately just did this, didnt get a hint either, just used my stonesward key figuring it was a random mine dungeon. I DID one-shot the wyrm in there, just barely, got caught in a flame pile and had to use 2 flasks twice,m killed him with 1 left. I did get enough mats to go from +11 to...

    Any recent rumors on BOTW2? Last I heard they were pushing for an EOY release.....I loved the first one, I just hope they do something in regards to durability as well as more actual dungeons. If they improve on the first game and actually listen to feedback I think that'll be the next "Elden...

    Academy is done so is the Manor, I actually did both of those before Redmane castle. (Assuming you meant Raya Luca Academy or whatever?) Think Ill explore Caelid more and then head north from the Academy since there appears to be a ton of areas up there I haven't explored yet.

    Thanks, I may explore elsewhere first but that whole area is beautiful, wanted to keep going with Ranni the Witch's quest but I'm assuming heading North won't ruin it for me right? I can always come back later. I don't want to be over leveled necessarily but it would be nice to be about on...

    Is 70 too low for non-pro for the Nokron area? The standard enemies havent been too bad but it seems like there's a ton of mini boss encounters, went there immediately after killing Radahn and havent been north of the academy yet.

    I made it to Nokron and killed the Crucible knight / heavy mace wielder enemies, was all proud of myself and then I gor stomped by the gargoyles. Guess I'm coming back to those, not very good at 2v1s especially when I get 2 shot, my prayers have been answered, lol!

    Elden Ring - From Software + George RR Martin

    Question for those that have beaten the game along with the majority of optional bosses...... How does Radahn compare in terms of the most difficult for a melee build? I am just curious if I have more of those-type encounters or if it's smooth sailing from this point on? I know in the past...

    I think ER would be easier to start gaining the patience And the world itself is absolutely beautiful, but the initial start to the play through is always a little more frustrating until you get used to your build's playstyle. I've definitely died hundreds of times but I also tend to progress...

    Elden Ring - From Software + George RR Martin

    I think it is the 3rd major boss if I'm not mistaken, But I was also a stubborn asshole because there are NPC's you have the option of summoning to help you which most likely would make it a ton easier. Personally I like to just solo melee my 1st soul play throughs And no matter how many times...

    Agreed, it took me like 75+ tries if I were to guess, and I'm at 32 vigor, can't imagine trying him with any lower as pretty much everything will kill you in 1-2 hits. The run up to him started getting old as well, wish you could just have a checkpoint once you make it to his melee stage.

    I think all of the tears I've gotten were from churches, think I'm at +6 and 10 flasks. The seeds all tend to come from those mini gold erdtrees, or at least most of them afaik.

    I heard that from a friend of mine but when I warped away and back there the festival was still happening, hoping I'm not glitched! Congrats BTW, he was definitely the hardest boss I've fought yet, by a decent margin.

    Elden Ring - From Software + George RR Martin

    I agree with all except I'd put DS1 in place of Sekiro, it just never clicked with me I guess. Elden Ring DLC better be phenomenal though, you cant have such detailed areas in the main game and release some half assed DLC, hoping it's a full fledged area like Limgrave / Liurnia / etc. I'm at...

    Sorry if I spoiled anything, trust me when I say it took 7263363736 tries so I don't think I really ruined anything, but if I did I apologize

    Apparently my PS Account is linked to my daughter's YouTube, but here is low res video of my sloppy victory. Such a crazy fight. Glad its over, but I think I could've done better.

    Hell yea it is, you don't have to convince me, I've been sold since the OG Demon's Souls. Damn that was a crazy fight though!

    Elden Ring - From Software + George RR Martin

    I FUCKING DID IT!!!!! That motherfucker took WAY too many tries, but I finally melee'd that bastard. I added a frost effect on my +11 Greatsword. Bout to upload a video, shit, I wasted hours of my life trying to perfect that fight, just unsure how to use the spoiler tag. Lvl 66 before the...

    Just got Radahn to literally 1 or 2 hits and I had 4 flasks left, mofo still fucking killed me. He DIES today, no more leveling or equipment, I GOT this. I just wish his 2nd phase was a tad more forgiving for a mistimed dodge. Some of his attacks one shot me if I am off by even a split second :(

    Its because you're in the middle of Ranni Quest, I'm in the same boat and looked it up because I thought my game was glitched. I've gotten that bastard to 25% and below a few times but his stupid skulls and orbs ALWAYS kill me, I hate this fight so much!!!

    I finally looked in the ash of war menu and had no idea I could change my greatsword to a magic or heavy build with ashes of war....I just converted to magic but am wondering can I remove it at some point and switch back to normal or switch it up to heavy once I pump str some more? Seems to...

    Hrmm where do I find the caelid basement spot? Sounds like a decent spot and also a cool armor set

    Elden Ring - From Software + George RR Martin

    Any quick non-cheese spots to farm fairly quickly? Most of my sites are liurnia / limgrave/Manor area, I also have a few in Caelid but I am not confident in that area yet. I did get to Dragon Barrow and that fort with the bats / ghost guys up top, but I dont remember them being very good xp...

    Okay so Radahn still not down, think at 61ish I'm not good enough to take him down yet, though I'm also not using the great rune. Ill see of I can grind a few levels and try again, just not sure if Str or Vig is better to pump. Also, sitting at 21 endurance so that could be an issue too...

    You shouldnt really have to sneak, you can beeline for that ladder you knocked down and make it to the boss without getting hit at all once you learn the route.....at least it worked for me, still haven't beaten the boss yet but I was like level 45ish when I tried.

    It really does seem that P2 is time gated, when I got a lucky moveset where I got behind him 2x pretty much back to back, he didnt do the meteor thing until around 35%, but of course I panic rolled and got 2-pieced and died. Heading home from my parents but that fucker is dying tonight if I...

    Elden Ring - From Software + George RR Martin

    Yeah I know it's possible but definitely not the intended way, just refusing to use those summon marks on the ground for my own dumb principles. Will try to imbue my weapon next attempt and see how that goes, I know I can do it, but the window for dodging seems pretty tiny.

    Elden Ring - From Software + George RR Martin

    Radahn is FUCKING aggressive!!! Doing fairly decent on his first phase until the meteors come and I've only made it to phase 2 twice, both times I've died within seconds. Sticking to my usual melee-only no summons or ashes but damn is this frustrating. Think I'm gonna grind while I explore...

    I haven't yet, found a few 8s I believe and 4 /5s, but Im trying to do Rannis quest and at the Radahn part after clearing out the manor. I dont know if that is considered mid game yet or not, there's just so much to find, I love it but it makes it really hard to gauge progress. Level 61...

    At this point jist regular, but I did check the blacksmith after I found out I get a 3rd talisman slot after finishing the Academy - and found that I had enough to upgrade my lordsworn greatsword to +11. Was just hoping to find the bell that unlocked the 3 / 4 smithing runes to purchase as I...

    So I beat the Academy last night and really have no clue where I'm supposed to go next. Still have a +8 hammer and +8 greatsword I alternate between, I'm thinking I should probably get them both to +10 but Im not sure how. I only found the first bearing thingie so I cant buy the stones, is it...

    I dont remember exactly but it was before the dog fight I swung at an empty book case and it opened a hallway that kinda wrapped around, definitely in the academy. If you cant find it ill try and be more specific when I get home and load it up.(that's if you're trying to stay pretty blind about...

    Elden Ring - From Software + George RR Martin

    Finally found the key to get into the Academy. I also found some spot with a witch NPC invader that kept one-shotting me with her blue lightsaber sword, assuming at level 50 I'm not supposed to be there yet? Beat the dog boss at Raya and then called it a night, I'm assuming this dungeon is as...

    I had the same experience though I didnt summon to kill Omenkiller, had the same invasion and actually that's the armor I'm rocking in the pic I posted. I don't know for sure but I assume killing the Omen dude is what triggered the invasion on my next warp back to RTH. Once you kill him go...

    Elden Ring - From Software + George RR Martin

    Best advice I can give for parries is look at their hand and not the weapon, for crucible knight I hit L2 as SOON as the hand swung towards me, worked about 90% of the time. Also, as said earlier, just learn it for 2-3 attacks and dodge the rest, he took me a good amount of tries but once I...

    Man, I know I sound like a broken record at this point, but you hit the nail on the head......on top of everything else, they didn't even release a ton of details and kept expectations low, FromSoft is seriously a different breed. This game would've exceeded my expectations if they would've...

    Anyone go back to that crystal mine you get warped to? Just made it to the boss and kicked a ladder down, I won't spoil anything, but at level 46 that thing was VISCIOUS!!!! My attacks barely scratched him and he wrecked me in 2-3 aggressive hits!

    Elden Ring - From Software + George RR Martin

    Agreed 100%. And I only chose Wretch because a first playthrough is the only time you get to find shit so its really the only way to make everything you find initially viable at least temporarily. I also like that the stats are all at 10 so I can spec as I want from the beginning. Definitely...
