I mean, scarlet rot has existed in s9me version since DS1, where it was called Toxic. And 12 ARC dragon breath spells are an early thing. If Elden ring was your first soul's game, then I understand but anyone who would play prior games pretty much figured out the rot dragon breath immediately...

Yeah I dont think I have ever run out of the Larvals, even without the DLC. Speaking on the Uzi spear, as I have pointed out before if you are either kind of caster you are going to invest in the opposite casting stat because the best Seals and Catalysts in the game are the dual stat ones for...

If you have been reading the lore, Miquella as part of the whole ascent to godhood thing abandoned physical form entirely. Most of it is explained in the arc stakes at those grace spots, but its also hinted at elsewhere. Why the tranny god of sleep needed to bang and or possess his own brother...

Not sure how you did not have rot breath, its literally in the same zone and any generic dragon heart can buy it without having to kill even a named dragon to do it. Fire Giant I totally get, especially if you were not cheesing bleed back at release. Melenia is still a giant cunt unless you...

If I am going to spend hundreds of hours staring at the character's ass, I prefer it to be a female ass most of the time. This is true for me of most RPGs, though I will generally do one run of each just to see different story options in game. You apparently prefer to stare at man ass all the...

You can drop Elden Beast and still dive into the DLC before starting a NG. In fact if you are a build that needs a lot of stats to get good scaling/access to specific weapons/spells I recommend taking the sword from EB up to Bird Mountain and farming the goobers there to at least get Vit up to...

If you have a friend on the same platform you can trade many things, including weapons or armor. Makes second runs a lot of fun. Stuff like the golden blade, death bird lance, ect are useful to noob characters.

Dancer Mausoleum, far to the southwest in Cerilian coast.

They went back and expanded his hit boxes, which did nothing to hamper casters but made melee against him a lot harder (not release levels, but pretty tough). I think Mirizaki hates watching naked dudes with the Rykard Spear no hitting shit or something.

Rykards Rancor completely fucks this boss over (as well as the Scorpion Centaur bitch to a degree). But if your timing and aim suck, Giants Flame Take Thee works pretty well, too. Melee wise, the flame perfume bottle with the right stats and buffs completely trashes the shit out of it as well.

In a game with incredible DLCs, this one is probably the standout. I had a friend who worked on the team for that game and according to him, this was them rolling all of the best ideas from Van Buren into the new Bethesda FO universe. Honestly FONV with its expansions might be the only game to...

Radahn is rough as an unga bunga. You definitely want a weapon art to be able to apply damage at range (rot dragon breath is also a big help with minimal requirements) to tackle him. Killing him as a dagger user was really aggravating, prompting me to eventually resort to spamming the Reduvia...

If he has not been doing the Ranni quest line, then Radahn festival might not be triggering. He can do the rape fight in the festival area for Ruins Greatsword, in that case. BB is indead among the best weapons in the game for the art, for a two handed user with the right stats (even post...

PS the Ruins Greatsword is coming up soon as an option (can be done prior to triggering Radahn Festival or after completing it) along with many great Bunga weapons in the Rykard area (big red hammer thing, Hephan's Steeple if you have some INT, Star Beast club, ect) so if you are bored of the...

Get a Brass Shield for certain fights (lots of mobs drop them) and practice guard counter (its easy and good for certain fights). Grafted will carry you a long while until you can get the Ruins Greatsword or any of the multiple weapons that drop around the same time (The "Guts" greatsword that...

Some of the dungeon bosses are fairly rough, like the dude who makes a billion copies of himself or the goblin with the Moonveil. Most are like the base game, which is to say basic if you have a strong build and acting mainly as a teaser to late game hall trash. I found myself wishing there...

I freely admit as a long time Souls and From fan, I generally do my first play using the Monnlight Greatsword setup. I mean, its their signature weapon and been in every single game. But I also fuck around with other builds. In fact, yesterday I decided to try running three characters through...

Haven't beaten it as a caster.I don't think sixty vigor is required. But I do think you need at least forty and probably with a decent shield to manage against the later bosses. The red flask Talisman and good conservative play Or enough to close the gap with sixty vigor Unga in most cases...

The funny part here is that the big dude is entirely optional. You only really need to kill him if you're doing the sorcerer quest.

https://eldenring.wiki.fextralife.com/Spiked+Spear Yeah. For Casters with high faith, the weapon art outclasses the DMGS. And it's solid as a melee weapon in general with it being a bleed proc spear.

W3 main strength is its story and characters. The story was flawlessly executed and it had two very different yet amazing endings. The one where O Dimm wins was incredible.

As for me, I wrapped up most of my first semi casual run tonight. I did not feel like leveling up a finger shield and repeccing just for the last boss, so I got my co op buddy (who did ) to tank both the final boss and Bayle for me. After taking many tries to drop the final boss, we one...

I literally said you were wrong. ER is fun for people who are not pussies, or at least deal with challenge constructively. And yes, you absolutely can just log on and bang out a dungeon. I regularly just put myself in coop for randos to help them out because it is stress free fun for me...

Largely agree but the key is two fold. First, take a couple twink items from your comprehensive play to dump to your new guy. Second, just skip anything not relevant to that specific playthrough. You always need to run the bell bearing stuff (and Ranni quest at least long enough to get the...

Its in Caelid, at the fort with the shortcut to outside Rahdan's palace, but on the backside between to flame thrower carts (you can sneak in and grab it if you need to). Its not much for stat reqs (think Cleansing Flame) and has a massive impact on certain fights and weapons. Blasphemous...

No argument here, but I think that really only applies to the end boss (bad I agree) and maybe Bayle (who is optional so ... meh). The real issue is the MP/Summon scaling being fucked. At least I hope they address that, because I cannot get my wife to play this casually with me in its present...

He melts to several caster strategies... if you have a summon or co-op. I think I one shotted him with Ancient Rancor and I was not even expecting him when I found him. He is basically the mounted Black Knight fights with the dials up to 11. If you are melee, this is a good time to get a...

I read it and rank it up with your steam power derail in terms of Chris hot takes. The game is immensely replayable, even if you have seen every inch of it. Simply going through with an entirely different build (and there are tons) is a complete new experience. What makes it replayable is the...

I am up to the last boss. Watched my coop pal do it alone. He respecced into fingerprint shield and chicken leg club, eventually changing to the blood fork. Took a while but he literally just turtle counterpoked his way to victory at zero risk once he slotted the fork. I don't feel like...

Lol wut?

You can roll the thorns, but it has to be sideways and if you miss the first one you wont recover enough for the others. Also his range is huge and the windup is incredibly fast on his ranged thorns. You can shield block them, however. Stagger is not too bad on that attack as long as you are...

Yeah this is pretty much the entire DLC in a nutshell for most bosses, except they also will stop whatever they are doing and frame cancel into a wombo combo from a mile away the moment the AI notices you have pressed the flask input. I think ever player needs to work something ranged with high...

Nameless is straight up an execution fight over a long time. The first phase has some RNG to it, with how the dragon attacks time out with the rider. But Phase 2 is all about reads and knowing when to dodge vs block, plus patient punishes. But Midir specifically you can parry and then...

There is a cave path north of Moohr village by a lake (where you challenge Kung fu man, on the path to get to Metyr questline) that leads you to that area. Great place for some faith related gear and infants, plus a cool dungeon.

He is a mandatory parry fight. Parry once and crit, then you win. Simple as that. The npc summon is only there to give you some windows to set that up.

One easy one, one requiring Bayle to be killed. ARC reqs are similar to main game on both.

Bayle is similar to Melenia, but Mesmer is not nearly as hard as Melenia. He is just a ramped up standard DLC Spam AoE and wombo combo chip damage with froggy agro type boss. The big thing with him is you have to get a few things from the DLC before having a reasonable fight (certain spells...

It is literally the only item my sorcerer is wearing from the DLC.

Stuff you can do at Shard Level 1-3 reliably (in suggested order) Lion Beast (maybe Gaol guy first if you are unga and a masochist) Runebear Boss Rellana Shadow Keep Hippo Stuff where you want to be Shard Level 4-7 Clear out Shadow Keep, except Mesmier. The game will seem like you should kill...

Its way more mana efficient and better at dealing damage to bosses, if you need some distance to tap them from. Plus Strike seems to be the best universal physical damage type for most things, just like the main game. And it ragdolls a lot of stuff. Think it poise broke Mesmer in three hits...
