I finally found a Sorcery that you don't start the game with that I would call unambiguously Great. Night Maiden's Mist, from a sorcery vendor near Sellia. Put out a huge silvery fart cloud that ramps up damage while enemies are in it. I think this type of spell has been in a lot of past games, but it remains very strong against large and slow moving/stationary enemies or in conjunction with chokepoints.

RBA Starblade posted:Seriously I haven't even seen a red sign down, what gives To be honest, I co-op to help a lot of people and I've probably seen a good two dozen invasions or so. Only like three of which were actually successful. You need to be dirty in Elden Ring to succeed at killing the host, the odds are so stacked against you 95% of the time.

Can you roll through the damage? Can you negate it with bubble flask? Is the damage boostable?

when you go through the first Four Belfry portal to Crumbling Farum Azula, is it supposed to be a dead end or am I missing something?

Scoss posted:I finally found a Sorcery that you don't start the game with that I would call unambiguously Great. I've been sorcing my way through the entire playthrough, sans some melee combat here and there on mooks to save mana (there's a guy that drops a high level halberd at some point, and that thing is wonderful - so much better than the piddly rapier, and even replaced my trusty whip), and a lot of the spells are quite useful, especially once you get the FP to start throwing them around a bit more. I'm currently running with 20 mind and 6 FP flasks, and that's been more than enough for virtually everything. Gonna spoiler my current spell loadout: Swift Glintstone Shard: Casts fast, deals with lots of little enemies, super FP efficient. My go-to spell for much of the early-mid game, and still has uses in the later areas Great Glintstone Shard: Workhorse for non-dodgy enemies that have to die right now and/or tighter spaces. Efficient and lays on damage very quickly Carian Slicer: Farron Flashsword, but absolutely amazing and tears through almost everything. If I have to melee something and I need it to die, this is what I use. Also doesn't bounce, so very effective on stony enemies Loretta's Greatbow: Has an absurdly long range (I think about 2x what other sorceries have), equally absurd damage, but a very long charge. Excellent for sniping overworld encounters and cheesing the everloving poo poo out of many bosses/hard enemies Rock Sling: Stupidly powerful spell (still using the meteor staff) that does physical damage, has great tracking, and staggers enemies. Absolutely a gamechanger. Can't always use it, and it does have problems when the meteors smack into things, but holy poo poo is this my main boss killing spell, and it works decently on dodgier enemies. Amusingly, also has really good range since the rocks don't poof like magic does, and they can still hit things as they fall out of the sky Glintstone Stars: This spell sucks in terms of FP to damage, but is amazing when it comes to enemies who sidestep. It'll hit with all 3 shots every time and there are enemies in later areas where you will be super glad to have this spell around Ambush Shard: Shoots an enemy in the back, theoretically bypassing shields. In practice it only works when they're walking towards you, but for the rare situations you need this, it's really helpful. I also have a rotating free slot that I swap out as needed. Right now I have Terra Magicus in there for the spell power boost when cheesing fights, but I'm tempted to try out some of the other spells I haven't given a fair shake yet. Even if you don't hover over the spoiler, that's 7 spells that I use on a regular basis, and one floating slot (I have 8 slots total at the moment). There's a lot of great sorcery out there, and many of the spells absolutely wreck the crap out of bosses. It can take a little while to get going, but once you've got the tools you need, you're off to the races. That all being said, the single biggest thing that makes sorcery work is (location/item spoiler): The meteor staff and rock fling spell located in Caelid south of the mine in a swampy area. This gives you an S scaling staff that is the equivalent of something like +12 or so, and one of the single most powerful spells in the game that I've seen thus far. Had I not found these things early on in my playthrough I would have a much lesser opinion of how sorcery works

I get spoilering pics, vids and written accounts/surprises during the fight but why do so many of you spoiler just the boss name in posts for a game with no prequels Unless it's a char you already met or a rematch, the first and last time you'll ever see them is their fight so it's impossible for any of the names to hold any meaning ?? ???

Just for anyone with an older system who's still on the fence on buying this: I've got a Ryzen 5 1500X with an RX 480, and the various patch improvements, graphics driver updates, and a couple custom tweaks (setting its graphics to High Performance mode in Windows, the Device Association Root Enumerator thing, and forcing DX11 on Steam, all of which admittedly may or may not be placebo) has made the game completely playable. I'm running at 1600x900 with low/medium settings on everything and I'm still averaging 45-50 FPS, with only very rare dips into <40. The only stutters/lag I'm getting nowadays are from asset streaming, but it otherwise runs silky smooth. It does look a bit fuzzy at times, but I think the excellent art direction more than carries the weight where the technical fidelity is otherwise lacking.

If anyone is like me and hates how dodge works based on button release and not button press I've found a way to fix it if using Steam. First click Controller Configuration on your Elden Ring library page. Then follow the images below.       This will still let you sprint but you will dodge first before sprinting so be careful. This basically turns it into Sekiro's sprinting if you've ever played that. Let me know if this breaks something. I've been using it for awhile and no problems so far.

In order to do a critical hit, does it have to be light attack, or will heavy attack work? I'm not going any on bosses when I stagger them and I'm not sure if I'm just not hitting the right spot or of it's because I'm using the wrong attack.

Cowcaster posted:just running through the math example here i gave to its end, if the enemy has say 60% physical resist and 60% magic resist: The reason split damage is weak in souls games is because defense isn't just a percent damage reduction. If defense was only percent reduction, split scaling would be just fine. It's not exactly a flat subtraction either, there's some hosed up piecewise function but BASICALLY defence is more effective against lower damage numbers. Against a high-defense enemy, two separate hits with a 100ar weapon will do less damage than one hit with a 200ar weapon. And for a split-damage weapon that has 100 physical ar and 100 magic ar, it basically counts as two separate hits each time.

Is it known yet what tier of smithing stones are limited and which ones can be farmed or bought in unlimited quantities? I want to gently caress around with so many different weapons but I don't want to spread limited resources thin. Right now all I know is the thing from the crystal cave that lets you buy smithing stones 1 and 2 from the roundtable vendor.

But the cast time is pretty slow so in a lot of boss fights you can't safely use it. RPATDO_LAMD fucked around with this message at 06:39 on Mar 1, 2022 |

No idea how one would beat the second phase of the main academy boss as an a non hybrid caster without it.
