Fun fact, if you like me have been playing co-op: you literally can not open that chest and it just becomes an infuriating thing I thought was bugged. Oneiros posted:r2's and jumping attacks are important Very much so.

Nuebot posted:So this is probably a really dumb question but how do you open the evergaols I've been playing co-op with a friend and for the life of us this has us stumped. There's clearly something there, but nothing hints at what to do as far as we've noticed and it's driving us insane. It's a little weird but at least one of them requires those sword keys things (look for imp statues), and if they're glowing you can just stand on them and go in. If they're not letting you do that when summoned you might need to try summoning after you get in. The gaols have a weird overlaying with the game world so it might even be possible for your friend or you to lay the summon sign outside and have it visible in the goal? Might want to try that. All I know is, is there's a gaol where you can summon an npc for it when you get into it.

Vermain posted:He is significantly harder than any first boss in any From game up to this point, including Gascoigne, and has several reflex checks in the second phase that are batting under the average human reaction time. It's not impossible to do low level with unupgraded weapons, but it is also painstakingly clear that his design is meant to encourage you to go do open world stuff in order to gain higher resistances and more health to be able to tank more hits before you can beat him (or discover the secret item to trivialize his first phase). i haven't gotten a chance to fire up Elden Ring yet, but man, if this dude is actually a harder first boss than Gascoigne....

I'm not sure what it's like on other weapons, but the jump attack on the Claw doesn't seem that good.

PC Elden Ring chat. I see it has mixed reviews on steam, lots of complaints about performance issues. I'm fortunate not to be experiencing any problems. newer build: i7-12700K, 2TB WD SN850, ASUS TUF RTX 3060 (carryover), 32GB CL16 DDR4-3600 running at XMP timings. Windows 11, minimal software installs (e.g. no tweak/OC software, no unnecessary drivers). I'm playing with KB+M and doing well. Biggest annoyance is figuring out what menu / action controller icons map to what keys, as it changes based on context. Here's what I wrote down so far: yellow-Y == F (menu), E (in-world) green-A == E red-B == Q blue-X == R double-square == G triple-lines == ESC LB/RB ... unsure? I can't figure out the keys for those in menus. I just use mouse. down-arrow anvil thing == X to 2-hand a weapon, E + lefl-click (not obvious from tutorial!) This game is AMAZING so far, great variety of fights, feels like a living world, wonderful graphics for a fromsoft/last-gen game, nicely redone multiplayer coop mechanics, and exploration is totally rewarded. A++ I'm in love.

i accidentally two-handed my shield in the starting area and noticed it was poise-breaking (terminology?) the enemies like crazy it's a pretty big mechanic and if you're just smashing r1 you're likely missing out

All I know is, is there's a gaol where you can summon an npc for it when you get into it. Probably not doable in co-op. A lot of things, area transitions in particular, aren't doable in co-op. It makes sense; but since there were a lot of bloodstains around them I'd assumed activating the thing summoned the boss to you, rather than taking you to the boss. Thanks for the answer! KrunkMcGrunk posted:i haven't gotten a chance to fire up Elden Ring yet, but man, if this dude is actually a harder first boss than Gascoigne.... I was doing it co-op and it took us a very long time to down him, the boss is no slouch but it didn't feel, to me at least, especially trashy or bad. The patterns were pretty simple and were mostly variations on the same handful of attacks that made it really easy to slip up even if you had support. It has me excited to see what else the game throws our way.

Aside from the translation errors, some mild stuttering, the worst screen tearing I've ever seen in my life, and my friend with his third world internet disconnecting every 15 minutes from our session, this game has been a masterpiece to play. Hope all that is fixed in the coming months. I'll be playing this game for years.

Bad reflexes will hold you back no matter what class you play. Just keep at it. Go slow, don't rush in, WATCH what enemies do before you do anything. Roll away. Take advantage of them AFTER they attack.

I really wish you could pause cutscenes in this, or at least have something that let you re-watch them in game. SOMETIMES LIFE CALLS drat IT! And I don't want to go searching around Youtube since it's annoying/spoilers.

This game rules. I hope modders uncap the framerate soon. e: it's out already but the memory tampering required to do it probably results in a ban online. sad. maybe I shouldn't do it or I won't be able to go back. Yerok fucked around with this message at 15:55 on Feb 25, 2022 |
