I played around with Bloodhound's step. It's definitely an easy way to "git gud" since it makes it infinitely easier to dodge and reposition.

I don't see the big deal. He's helping people learn how to secure their financial futures by investing in non fungible stores of value, like land.

I have the opposite issue with the L3 dismounting. Half the time I go to use it so I can dismount it just doesn't goddamn work!

Except that, for the most part, the boss versions of those mobs in the early game tend to be easier than the goddamn "trash mob" versions of them you run into later in the game.

Question about NG+ for those who have done it. I know you keep a bunch of stuff like talismans, armor, upgraded weapons, rememberances, etc. But do you also keep ashes of war and the tear seals from the Erdtree avatars?

For anyone thinking about going sword caster I'd recommend trying out Wings of Astel over Moonveil. It's got a unique moveset. L2 is a slightly delayed frontal PB AoE that costs very little FP and can shotgun. R2 is a free magical attack that can be charged to chain 2 attacks and it can also...

With the amount of options this game offers you really should get free respecs after beating the game so you can actually test shit out.

I went exploring for a long, long time before I ever even decided to go back to Caelid and ultimately Radahn. I did Fire Giant and Crumbling Farum Azula before I even attempted him because I didn't realize I was doing the content so out of order. I would just see an area I wanted to explore...

There are a few quests where you need to use summons. Guess you're S.O.L. on those. You guys are so weird. Ashes and Summons were both put into the game as tools for you to utilize. There are SOOO many different spirits and ashes that you can tailor to your own playstyle. I guess I can kind of...

The Langoliers was one of my favorite books of his. The adaptations all sucked but the book was good.

Never heard about the semi and extension cord. But the downhill "test drive" where the thing was in neutral and coasting the entire time was the stuff of legend.

Why? It's like playing a monk in EQ while refusing to use FD

I wasnt the one you quoted sir!

This movie is not good. It's just as uninspired and boring as Free Guy. I was hoping for an homage to all those movies from the 80s I loved growing up. This movie was not that. Its contrived, the pacing is just entirely wrong, and watching a 12 year old kid try to act like adult Ryan Reynolds...

Never used a single ash of war? *wink wink*

Well, that's what the spirit ashes are for

The mechanics are literally exactly the same, right down to how Geralt swings his sword while mounted in both quick and strong attacks. As I said... the only difference is the responsiveness in ER.

The mechanics are exactly the same (except double jump), even the animations look the same. Elden Ring is just more responsive. It's kind of like Roach and Geralt lost 40 pounds and started training for the Olympics.

And then there's Carian Retaliation: "Swing your staff to dispel incoming sorceries and incantations, using their power to retaliate with Glintblades" Man, kinda sad I never found these during my playthrough. Would have liked to test that out to see if its as OP against caster bosses as it sounds.

So Im going around collecting all the sorceries I missed and there are a few that seem very interesting that I haven't people talk about or use much yet. Things like Night Maiden's Mist which leaves an area of effect DoT for quite a while and does pretty good damage if you can lock a target...

So, I wanted to try some Lightning builds out but I missed the Sanctified Whetblade before I burned the tree and apparently its gone until NG+ now. Why do you do this to me From Software?!

Maybe more invaders from other realms show up. Radagon's ancestors or something.

Well Miquella is alive and in that creepy cocoon in Moghs throne room. Mohg was trying to make him an adult or some shit since he was cursed to remain a child or something and was going to make him a god and become his consort. When you kill Mohg he says something to the effect of him being able...

Lol, Godrick. That fight isnt really that hard it's just that fucking space jam hangtime. I dont remember anything like that in other souls games but then it's an introduction to what's going to happen in the rest of Elden Ring. Someone should do a mashup of all the jumping in the air forever...

I've watched the videos on sword of night and flame and... I dont get it. I can think of a dozen weapons or ashes I would use over that. Its gotta be because people think that comet spell is way better than it actually is.

Yea that makes way more sense. She takes a ton of damage in phase 2 so once you figure out the initial dodging you'll probably kill her in short order. That's exactly how it went for me today as well.

You 3 shot melania at level 137? You got some kind of "Stand there and block while mimic kills after I buff him with incantations" build or something? The beginning of phase 2 will make you say "Wait, what the fuck??" Way more than twice before you get it

Now go to the Haligtree. And then after wanting to kick your tv just getting to Melania. Proceed

Heh, just wait.

Next game up for me is 100% Horizon 2. The idiots in that thread trying to pretend Aloy somehow looks different than she did in 1 and using that to push their own narrative is idiotic. HZ1 was an incredible game and I expect HZ2 will be as well based on feedback in that same thread from people...

A few of us already mentioned it here but the biggest influence on Elden Ring seems to be original NES games. Items, progression, secrets. It feels way more like the original Zelda or even Castlevania and Faxanadu than anything done more recently. Chrono Trigger on the SNES and Suikoden on PS1...

Episode 1.

You ever tried pulling up the interactive map on a smartphone bub? Lol

So I never went to Deeproot Depths or the area under Leyndell. And now that i beat the game i want to just look up everything i missed before NG+. This is where playing on PS5 sucks. I might just unhook it and bring it into my office and plug it into one of monitors so i have a computer there to...

I dont know why developers insist on gimmick fights like that. It's like those awful vehicle quests in MMOs. Just let me play my fucking character. It's weird From Software put that in the game. It's the only fight like that and it's just stupid because if you upgrade it, it does idiotic damage...

You wont miss out on anything playing offline as far as I know unless you want summon other players to help you with encounters. But doing that only cheapens the experience

We did boys Malenia down. Once I got gud at dodging her phase 2 dive and flower bloom I beat her in short order.

Friends... friends. I went through basically the entire game not realizing my great runes werent actually doing anything because I wasnt using rune arcs

That tear is not good unless you are a very beefy boy. It will never trigger for me with my ~1300 hp pool especially against bosses because I never get under the threshold for it to trigger... I just die from half health.

I've been trying forever to find an ash that gives lightning damage attacks because I wanted to do this same thing but with lightning instead of cold, no luck.
