Ok the Euporia twinblade is super fucking sick with the charged up attack it has. Holy fuck! And I mean that literally since it's holy damage. Jeebus!

This Dex/Faith build I'm running with on my second toon is just destroying shit. It's optimized around Messmer's spear but I'm also running with the Backhand Blade as the changeup. And as awesome as the Ash weapon art for the spear is, I actually prefer the BB more. That Blind Spot ash is a...

First toon still has Bayle, Midra, Scadtree and last boss but I got tired of trying to try/juggle different builds on him. I decided to just stay with his primary Arc/Bleed build and bring in one of my other toons that was DLC-ready. Second toon is going Dex/Faith with the Backhand Blades for...

I had Maliketh, Horah Loux, and Elden Beast all already downed and had no issues accessing the DLC. The only thing I had not done to that point prior to starting the new content was actually initiate the final cutscene and start a NG+ at Roundtable Hold. I think what it boils down to is...

Not sure what you mean here but you can absolutely summon DLC spirits in old world main game. I used Black Knight Captain Huw vs Malenia to see how well he'd do so I assume this spirit is no different.

My Scadu was 11/7 or maybe 11/8 so a bit further along than when most seem to take him on. I had reached his SoG much earlier on in my playthrough (the name gave it away - Dark Chamber Entrance) but I had recalled some folks mentioning that once you zone in to his chamber, you break some...

Yeah that's arguably the only major complaint I have with the DLC is the emptiness at times. A good example is Abyssal Woods, which I think has a cool and fitting theme to it but it feels a bit too big for that design, especially with nothing really in there except for a couple of cookbooks. You...

I took a handful of stabs at Midra this afternoon. Got him to 60% or so a couple times. Seems doable for me with a bit more experience. Finally decided to attempt Messmer. Got him on the second attempt. Got him to about 40% health with just me and Mimic. Dodged rolled right onto the NPC summons...

Finally met Metyr and actually one-shot her. The fight didn't seem particularly challenging and her health was surprisingly low. Can mark her off the list of remaining bosses though. Ditto for Putrescent Knight, which totally shocked me. I hadn't even attempted him again since I first...

So true. This post made me think of the Mausoleum bosses in particular though. Of the four of them, two were super frustrating for me while the other two were both one-shots for me. In fact, one of those (Red Bear maybe?) would've been a one-shot, no hit had he not landed a one-two punch combo...

I FINALLY put that pig fucker Commander Gaius down after what I calculate to be roughly 90 mins to 2 hours of trying over the last two days. Probably 50+ total attempts, roughly half of which were instadeaths just zoning into the battlefield and not timing the dodge roll properly. So, yeah...

Do you mean the Fissure area with the ball worm things that shoot lasers from their eyes? If so, that one got me at first too. Thankfully, I learned long ago in this game to always carry a bow of some sort for some ranged attacks so those weren't too bad to put down from distance.

I have a few questions relating to replay for anyone who might know. What happens to your progress in the DLC area and/or your toon when you start a NG+ in the base game? Also, can you do a NG+ in the DLC? If so, same question. And do you lose anything?

I've spent the last hour+ trying to finish off Commander Gaius. I once got him to around 60% on my 4th or 5th try so decided to keep at it. Eventually got him to 50%, then 30-40% numerous attempts and finally around 15% or so. The majority of the time that he kills me it's from a boar attack...

The one about Bayle‘s connection to Placidusax is some epic next level of awesomeness! Holy shit FromSoft! /bow

I just went through that area yesterday. Fortunately, the wickerman left me alone while I figured out Captain Devona and her bullshit. But once I did, yeah casually strolling across the bridge and then have that shit fuck me up. Good times.

I just picked up two pretty sweet talismans in the span of about 30 mins. One was the Talisman of All Crucibles which bestows all the benefits of all the other crucible ones, and the other was the Two Handed Talisman. I always prefer going two handed so I was pretty stoked the find that one.

I only watched the first fight vs the DBDL but I actually LOL'd at it, and then again when I noticed how low his Vigor must be. And then taking time in the middle of the fight to use soap?? LMFAO. What in the actual fuck people!

This is exactly where I was a couple days ago. I ended up just exploring and looking for SoGs and Scadfrags. Took me down to Cerulean Coast which eventually led me down the Fissure hole and eventually where the Putrescent Knight is. I tried him a few times just to see the hullaballoo for myself...

I’m still crawling my way through things so I’m not entirely sure which boss is the final boss. I do know after I happened across a YouTube vid showing the Bayle fight that I have an absolute zero chance of defeating him, and undoubtedly a couple others as well. I started the DLC at lvl 142...

I see what you guys are saying about Putrescent Knight. Pure fucking chaos and a complete asshole. My biggest complaint is the run back. I've only attempted him 3-4 times, and yes, it's a simple run but FFS, did we really need to do the jump every fucking time?? I know, I know, git gud and all...

With regards to the new weapons (at least the ones I've discovered), I really like the Backhand Blade b/c of its quick attacks and Blind Spot special attack. But even though it pretty much overwhelms most regular enemies, it's just not effective enough against most of the bosses I've tried it...

For you caster types, I came across an Incantation called Multilayered Ring of Light that dropped off the werewolf ghost like dude down in the Fissure area. Is that useful to you caster types or hot garbage?

Took a break for a few hours, threw some barbells around in my garage, came back and downed this MFer on my first attempt back using my RoB and Tiche. So, fuck him! On to the next rage-inducing MFer.

Tiche is indeed top notch. The only reason I was using Mimic over her is because I was too FP-gimped to be able to summon her on this toon. But I recently respecced to now at least have the option.

The Chinese dragon thing is the Divine Beast Dancing Lion at the top of Belurat Tower. i remember the hippo from the trailer but haven’t discovered him for myself yet. The only bosses I’ve downed so far are the aforementioned DBDL and Relenna. I’m currently using her light Greatsword which is...

Man, fuck the living fuck out of that goddamn Death Knight at the end of the Fog Rift Catacombs. I'm pretty sure he's susceptible to bleed, which works well for my main setup, but JFC, he's so super fucking hyper aggressive, it's hard to even get swings in. I'm 5/5 and still getting ass-pounded...

Yep. I just found the Backhand Blade and gave it a whirl. Fucking loving it, especially that Blind Spot special. I'm enjoying the exploration part. Just found Castle Ensis(?) and logged out there.

Logged in this morning to kill the roamer dude on the stairs in Belurat tower. Little did I know that just past him at the top was the big bad lion divine beast thing from the trailer. First attempt, I dodged his opening attack like a champ and got three solid hits in with my Godskin Peeler...

Got about 2 hours in tonight. Fuckers are brutal. I knew to avoid the wicker man boss up front but took out the beast claw dude and the giant hammer knight at the church. Then got my shit pushed in about ten times by the dark gaolknight boss in the mausoleum. Moved on from him and ended up in...

Goddamn, this looks special!

I saw this thread title and immediately thought, "holy shit these fuckers will discuss GD anything". Clicked in for the lolz. Halfway through the first page of replies and suddenly realized this is a real issue that needs discussion. I'm already invested. Count me in among those who say it's...

This was me as well. Decided on my recent playthrough that I was going to take a completely different route than the Dex/Bleed/RoB build I used the two times before. Halfway through annd two Larval Tears later, I was back to my old build with the lone difference was I was using the Godskin...

ER was my first and only FromSoft game. It's absolutely, positively worth grabbing and investing the time in, even if that's the only game you have time for due to RL conflicts. The game is indeed a challenge but that meant it was also rewarding when you beat those challenges. If nothing else...

The pre-DLC toon I made last month finished the game at lvl 141, which was my personal best in terms of lowest level to finish. Certainly nothing earth shattering but was good enough for me. Given that was my 5th or 6th toon through, I skipped a lot of optional stuff and only focused on content...

I stand corrected. It was a rapier, but I never got into those either. And no, there is no questline to save him. Also, ER was my first FromSoft experience, so it was news to me.

Rogier’s death was it for me my first time through. First, he offers up assistance to a total stranger to help kill Margit to get into Stormveil Castle. Then when you actually meet him later on in the chapel, you just knew you’d be besties for life. Then you find out later that he’s got stage 9...

So, it's FromSoft's fault for making you watch spoiler videos ahead of launch? Got it.

I struggled with shit chairs for years until it really started to affect my health from long sessions of sitting. Last year I finally decided to invest in a good chair. The challenge was finding said chair without being able to sit in it to test. I took a leap of faith on a Vertagear SL3800 and...
