Get in a charged R2, boost the gently caress out of there, wheel around and do it again. He can't even touch you.

Sigh, gently caress this bloodhound knight boss. No matter what i do, he's too fast for me. I can't dodge, i can't block and i cant even move away from him to recover at all. Is there some gimmicky way to beat him?

Really interested in the eventual data mining where the world sizes are compared and we get to find out if Elden Ring is bigger than all of the previous Souls games combined or not

She had told me the anti-cheat checks for things like suddenly you have a lot of runes or you have far more skill points in your stats than you did during your previous login and it bumps that against what you have now and if it's fishy then you get put on a server full of other cheaters. And your name is indelibly inked into Miyazaki's Big Book of Cheater Bitches. Also holy cow, the ancestral spirit boss fight arena was huge and it was a gorgeous area and the boss looked cool as heck. Now I need to figure out how to continue Rennas quest line.

I think I just pieced together on why I'm vibing with playing this at launch so much. It's a bit of a stretch, certainly some of you will overlap here so you can tell me if I'm full of poo poo or not. Playing this game at launch, reading all of people's messages, seeing their White Phantoms, bloodstains, reading posts here, wandering around this giant foreign land filled with secrets, new gear, abilities and excitement...It's recaptured that feeling of playing a brand new WoW expansion during its peak 2007-2011. I played a lot of WoW during its first two expansions and this feeling I'm getting playing this feels so much like venturing out with everyone during The Burning Crusade and Wrath of the Lich King it's crazy. I love it. And I don't have to wait for quest mobs to respawn. beep by grandpa fucked around with this message at 01:20 on Mar 1, 2022 |

Char posted:Thread moves too fast for this question: Clawmark Seal question. Yeah I've been using it for quite a while and I believe so. Technically your spells/incantations scale off your casting tool, which then scales off your stats-- keep in mind though that this is a split between both stats and it's very likely that to compensate, it's not as powerful as other casting implements. That said, it rules for a hybrid. I've been using it along with the talisman that boosts roar/breath skills and basically Fus-Roh-Daing guys off of cliffs everywhere, it's pretty loving sweet edit: same guy that gives you that also gives you an HP regen incantation that I like more than the normal one, it's really FP efficient, but it only works on you and not on allies

Anything good from him? He's SO hard, maybe I'm just underleveled but he's up there with some of the hardest red invader fights (all in DS2 remix)

Re: Discussion about catalysts and Meteorite Staff earlier - The Carian Regal Scepter beats it at +6. Azur's/Lusat's (the "spend more FP" catalysts) beat it at +7. Heck of a good early run for something you can get so easily. I haven't found anything yet that beats Carian, but there's a lot of lower-ranked ones that might eventually get up there when you consider the bonkers upgrade levels.

Khanstant posted:Great epee, more like poo poo epee. Hate weapons that just have mostly pokes and a couple awkward swing options. drat toothpicks. I got this because a friend told me it it was a great early game weapon but its awful. Its both slow and has a very small attack area when it's poking as designed, it doesn't even feel like the range is all that great. Using +4 katana now and everything feels so much less clumsy and awkward. I think I might ditch the shield tho, at least against bosses since their attacks usually go right through or at least stagger you for a follow up deathstrike. Have had way more success evading damage by just dodging every which way. Anyway just beat Margit and it only took me a couple tries.

Unironically stay close to him. His swings are super telegraphed and he never attacks more than 3 times. Punish his openings, especially after his big overhead swings or his jump. He's also vulnerable to bleed.

Cowcaster posted:all the myriad reports rolling in how sorcery falls off in the midgame is actually psyching me up because it means that instead of choosing easy mode i have chosen hard mode and i'm gonna flip everyone the bird when i beat the game anyway Good luck, magic buddy! I'm having a pretty good time as a snobby magical specialist, but I have not hit castle Stormveil yet. Meeko had a pretty good post about the keys to being an effective mage using the big spells, but I'll add that it's pretty important to get your flask upgrades. As a mage, I usually only keep 2 red flasks and dump all the rest into blue so I have the reserves to make it through dungeons as they start to get longer further into the game. You can get away with 2 blue flasks in early side dungeons that let you open a shortcut to the boss, but that gets less true later on. Also a physical damage spell is really important for when you face enemies resistant to regular magic damage. Meeko posted:You're pretty much just intended to use Spirit Ashes if you want to use the longer, more elaborate spells, as far as I can tell. The cost for using summons is already reduced if you're a caster (you should be building more max FP as a caster to begin with & it frees you up to allocate more flasks to FP), and they do a good job of distracting bosses so you can, well, take advantage of the fact you're ranged. That's why you don't get poise, and why the FP costs are so high and force you into allocating more FP flasks - that's the price you're paying for being allowed to sit back and do your thing, and your goal is thus to let your meat shields take aggro any time the heat gets on you so you can find another casting chance. It's not entirely risk free, either, as bosses have numerous ways to dash or ranged attack you specifically to still keep things interesting for this style of play.

Proof-of-concept of if I can stream to myself on Youtube from OBS then go back and clip parts out of the VOD. Took a while to learn the Youtube Editor interface but it seems to work OK, eventually. My naked lady clubbing the boss of probably the earliest cave in the entire game, notable only for one actual sick jump dodge right at the end comboing into a visceral finisher. Completely intentional I assure you: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=el4E5soFP3k

This game is awesome and I spend way too much time thoroughly combing areas for random bullshit, especially after finding out a random aristocrat enemy north of the bridge of sacrifice turns into a runebear after you kill him. I really love how the bigger strength weapons just send things flying if you hit them hard enough. There will certainly be better weapons than the brick on a stick, but it will hold a special place in my heart for telling nearly every enemy in Limgrave to gently caress off with their fancy nonsense.

Has anyone taken the keepsake that draws aggro? How does it work? Thinking of taking it so if I'm co-oping with a friend I can focus on defense with a boss while my partner blasts them freely from behind, or otherwise finding ways to cheese encounters. But I don't know anything about how it works mechanically.

Cowcaster posted:kind of like backstabbing, you have to be positioned in a certain spot, facing a certain angle, to get it consistently. easiest way to goof it up is to attack from too far away, make sure you're standing up against whatever you want to dunk on It really munts me that you can't backstab hollows who are manning ballistae/flamethrowers marshmallow creep posted:I've been trying to figure out how to get to the ledge with the red stone on it. I've tried jumping and rolling from where I am, but I bounce off the wall. I've tried landing on the tree with the blue stone, but haven't been able to get the jump from there. I tried landing on the purple stone, but that ledge seems big enough for a rainbow stone but not me, so I just fall right past it. I know you've already figured it out but I want to suggest crafting some Soft Cotton in the future for tricky jumps. It's basically a consumable version of the Silvercat Ring from DS2.
