I did it the "correct" way on my first playthrough because I was just farming those dragons lol. Moonveil was so busted against them that they were trivial to kill and then I kinda accidentally noticed the big dragon was taking damage as I did.

I mean, you can literally summon her for morgott and she'll go fuck him up lol, how is this news?

I'll be very curious to see what the dedicated PVP meta settles on for level in this one. People are already crowing about 120 pretty heavily again but I think that's legit too low here given how stat scaling has changed.

It was only hybrid arcane scaling that didn't work for whatever reason. That sword and the various other INT/DEX and INT/STR swords all worked just fine to varying degrees. The issue with almost all of them though is that the dark moon greatsword exists and is just better.

You can tune down the Moonveil specific numbers all you want, but what's actually busted is the katana weapon art it's based on.

Really having a hard time finding a weapon setup I like as STR/FAI. Seems like all the cool shit scales with DEX for whatever reason? Black knights halberd has pretty good STR scaling as heavy, but it's still the goofy halberd moveset that I'm not a huge fan of, and it's sloooooow. Slow is...

They massively reduced smithing stone prices from merchants, should make trying out a ton of different weapons a real option now. It used to cost something insane like 350k runes to get a normal weapon to like +22 before lol.

God fucking damnit I literally just turned Nepheli in to a doll to get her ashes. REEEEEEE

Anyone ever figure out what's up with those fake trolls in altus plateau? They are kinda near the old tunnel cave, and die in like one hit and also seem incapable of doing damage?

I'm convinced that bleed/frost are so strong currently that any viable meta setup has to include one or both of them unfortunately.

Someone a while back mentioned a torch that reveals invisibility or spirits? Where's that from? Sick of these black knive fucks, but I don't even know the name of whatever the item is to look it up.

You keep literally everything besides key items/quest items. Flask upgrades spells etc, anything you could deem an piece of gear or consumable.

More like almost every weapon either already comes with hybrid damage, or everyone mods their weapon to be hybrid damage because the numbers are so absurd this time around even after accounting for split resistances. Also grease only lasts like 60 seconds, which in elden ring terms is basically...

Almost every fight people claim is giga-hard is because they are some combination of super low level or refusing to use the various tools they have available (ashes, NPC summons, ranged, sorcery, whatever) and instead attempting to just slap the boss to death with their +7 longsword for 75 tries...

Yea the traditional Fromsoft formula for quests/NPCs really shows it's weak points here sometimes. It sort of worked in the Dark Souls games because they were highly linear and you could be reasonably expected to cross paths with NPCs in a relatively particular order, but that just doesn't apply...

Hah you're both right: Either collecting both Dectus Medallion halves and taking the Grand Lift of Dectus OR reaching far enough in Ranni's questline

Huh, what actually triggers the festival to start at redmane castle? My first playthrough it was just in that mode upon my first visit, but this time around that doesn't seem to be the case and i can't get it to swap over?

I feel really bad for all you poor fucks that tried to start melee only builds on your first run lol. Good christ some of these fights were never actually meant to be beaten that way with the amount of poise and attack spam some stuff has. There are so many side dungeons where the "boss" is just...

You can only be invaded if you use the fingercalling item that lets you see co-op summon signs. That essentially "turns on" multiplayer and invasions.

That's just the scaled armor set, it always looks like that. That lightning is weird, but the scaling shit on it is there by default: https://eldenring.wiki.fextralife.com/Scaled+Set

Alright my main save file is dressed and ready for PVP

I savescummed all the endings and I'm glad I did, they were really pathetic aside from I think I'll just start a new run then, having every weapon ready to go from the start feels like it'll be way less interesting than figuring out a str/faith type thing organically.

I am so torn on if I want to just go in to NG+ and respec or just start a fresh run and go like str/faith or something different. Does NG+ do the thing where you get +2 versions of the various talismans you couldn't before like old darksouls games did?

Fashion souls baby

Can confirm sorcery ultimately turned out to be lame. It's a bit of a bell curve really, where you suck balls for the first 30-40 levels, then you find the meteor spell and are a god all the way to level 90-100 or whatever, then you just kinda stop using sorcery all together in favor of which...

Lol that could be your first run and the parry will oneshot most people. The amount of people that don't know about or use the physick flask to not get assraped by Mohg is too damn high. I was thinking this would be a good sunbro fight to farm at for a bit given how little trouble I had with...

If you're doing hybrid caster or quality builds I wouldn't really aim to reach 80/80. Yes that's the actual softcap point where it really becomes worthless to level further, but 80/80 is way more points than you'll have in any kind of normal playthrough. Unless you're really planning to farm...

Just cause it seems so common to ask, a pretty rough outline of general progression so you're the "right" level in most places: Do all of Limgrave proper, or as much as you want to explore in the open world. This includes going south across the bridge to the land down there. Once you've had...

Yea probably do academy first then come back. I did actual Nokron itself after all of Caelid/Liurna once I had completed both the big dungeons there. The sophria river place itself you can do way earlier than that if you want, but the Nokrok city propery is definitely closer to the 90-100 range.

Heh the people that usually summon me are in desperate need of help more often than not. Probably like 75% of the time I end up basically soloing bosses while they run around casting glinstone pebbles and other useless shit.

Curious what outcomes the rest of you have gotten for NPCs? I feel like I did some of it right, but most of it is just kinda left hanging:

Ah yea not a bad call. I was trying godskin duo and the fire giant but something about how long those fights tend to be was causing major disconnect issues, so was never worth it even if we were winning.

Anyone had good luck with coop summons for bosses anywhere in particular at endgame? I'm running pretty low on arcs and would prefer to just grind bosses as a sunbro than farm rats or whatever. I tried Melenia a few times but fuck that lol, people just die in the first 10 seconds over and over.

I found Melenia far more reasonable to just like, stand in front of and throw down with her. Radahn was just a chaotic pile of nonsense with attacks that cover the entire screen, target lock camera going everywhere, and just generally so much mayhem you can hardly tell what is happening most of...

Judging by the prices they were charging for the streamer-branded PCs this was only inevitable lol.

I wonder how long Tarkov remains online lol

Who ever the fuck decided the sentinel torch had to have a non-removable shitty ass L2 attack can rot in the blackest pit of hell
