I am a mighty sorcerer. Have felled terrible dragons with ease. I subdued the Queen of the Moon. I wield the mighty Darkmoon Sword. I fought and defeated the demi-god Radahn. But if there's something I cannot defeat, no matter how hard I try, it's a really big, mean bear in a cave.

Also you can turn certain other NPCs, like dung eater, into dolls you can later summon. Speaking of Seluvis: I've looked everywhere and still haven't found the amber shard he wants, anyone know where it is? Yeah Seluvis is a real piece of poo poo. You can give the potion to Gideon and have him dispose of it then just lie to Seluvis, which is what I did. It was pretty funny because Seluvis bought the lie completely and just thought the potion didn't work. He's not as smart as he pretends to be. Apparently he can also try to get you to give potions to other NPCs, including Ranni, but I'm not sure how to trigger that. Maybe you have to actually give the potion to Nepheli.

God drat. I love this game, but it is big. Probably too big for my personal taste and, I guess, my expectations I've come to have about Souls games. Seeing new chunks of map uncovered, and then quest markers placed in unseen, even larger chunks, and then having the same thing happen underground is both awe-inspiring and also a little wearying. I feel like 2-3 regions put together equals about Dark Souls 3 or Bloodborne size, and there's like... 3 of those. It's definitely really good, but it is so much more than I was expecting. I've read spoilers and I realize I've still got a ton left to do, ~35 hours in. But I really am sometimes taken aback by what From has accomplished in putting so much content, largely very high quality (with some misses) into this game. It's legitimately kind of insane.

seluvis’s dollmaking is a way to create host bodies for ranni, but the fact that he’s got a personal sellen doll in his bedchamber leaves little to the imagination

I was very surprised when I wrapped up around 85-90% of the content in just 70 hours, which is only around ten hours longer than my average first playthrough of DeS/DS/BB/Sekiro. Won't be the same for everyone but I think in the end I really like the smaller, compact dungeon design with the handful of longer legacy dungeons. It's better than having to fight through three extraneous areas to get to the next major boss.

In my game I gave the old man a potion and now Seluvis is going on about making an even better potion that could even turn a demi-god into a doll and given how hush-hush he is about keeping it a secret from Ranni, I think the creep is going to try and betray her.

Uh hey Ranni you should totally drink this potion made by me, the creepy "doll"-maker who thinks he's a genius. I'd take some serious lying from the player character to get that to work.

Starting to peek at the trophies and thank gently caress the weapons, spells, and talisman only need the legendary items and not ALL of the items. Of which only a few of them are missable. It’s weird actually seeing the list of trophies because outside of the endings almost all of them are optional bosses.

Godskin Duo is the worst boss in any FromSoft game. I got through the rest of the game without complaining but holy moly. It took me forever to realize you can teleport out of that dungeon, because fast travel is locked at the start, and then at some arbitrary part it becomes unlocked again, but you won't know that unless you decide to open your map again which you have no real reason to do.

My final opinion of the game: Amazing game, definitely has it's flaws but the sheer spectacle can't be denied. I absolutely had open world fatigue and was begging the game to stop introducing new areas after 60/70 hrs and think they could have shaved about 10% off without really missing much, but I did binge the game in a week so obviously my opinion is biased by that. The open world was interesting at first but felt pretty generic/samey by the end (again, binged), but it also still felt necessary to do because what if the breakout fun weapon you were looking for was in this random catacomb? Also there's so much locked behind NPC quests that, yeah, I still think that some form of log to tell you who you had talked to and what their deal was and maybe give an actual hint as to where they might be would be nice. My only other real complaints are balancing stuff like regular smithing stuff being really grindy (but somber is way easier to upgrade for no real reason) which really discourages experimentation, and the first 10-20 hrs of the game are pretty dire armor wise and they could have distributed a few more and not done random stuff like locking starter class armor behind endgame locations.

lol yeah its real weird how its waaay easier to level up the somber weapons than actual normal weapons for awhile. especially when somber weapons are powerful as hell, like moonveil or the sword of stuff and things.

Faith builds, with the coded sword? Sword needs only faith, no other stats. It can't be infused or buffed, which kinda sucks but it gets A scaling in FTH, which I could use other incantations for damage. Input always appreciated.

I've seen plenty of messages claiming "secret ahead, try attacking" to get players to attack walls like idiots. A few messages encouraging players to jump off a cliff that will kill them. But I encountered an entirely new level of trolling messages. Place a message right at the base of a ladder needed to escape from a powerful enemy. So when a player is panicking and scrambling for the ladder, the stupid message comes up instead. Genius!

So what's the deal with Margit and Margott the fell king? Same guy? Why was he loving around with us at Stormveil? I will say defeating Margott in a one-shot felt loving good considering how much of a stone wall Margit was.

Volte posted:The pedestal is the thing that marks the region where the icon shows up. It's the same as the Stake of Marika having a little icon when you're in the respawn zone of one. Again, if that's even the case it's a terrible visual indicator. The blue/white arch icon on the side is much more prominent and useful in a situation where I might want to summon, rather than remembering whether or not I passed some wall-colored bollard in the last few minutes.

deep dish peat moss posted:So it turns out there's an alternate route through Radhan's castle where you sneak in through a ladder/door in the back after climbing around a narrow cliffside and if you enter this way, it's a full-fledged dark souls castle jam-packed with enemies The first time I showed up at the bridge out front I mentioned it in PS4 party chat and my friend told me to run away as fast as possible...so naturally I rushed up and fought my way in via the path you mentioned. It was one of my favorite experiences in my playthrough, highly recommended.

Any good guides out on Mage builds after level 60? i'm not sure if I should stop with Int at 40 for the time being or get it up to 60..... Also, I'm sure people have complained about this before but hitting the "map" button while you're in the "map" screen should loving close the map.

It’ll definitely be interesting to see where things settle in terms of what feels good for variety while also be able to reliably get through most of the game to collect everything needed in a build. The soft caps being where they are are some stuff like the spell with 70 int and other insane requirements will limit lower SL builds too much. Trying to do a SL120 or even lower while also keeping the base offensive required stats would basically leave you in 1-2 shot territory from everything else.

Volte posted:It's not a visual indicator, it's the diegetic counterpart of the grave icon so that the summoning has some basis in the game world. I almost never see the Stake of Marika either but if they weren't there and I just was suddenly able to respawn outside a boss room arbitrarily it would feel like a metagaming mechanic and not something that makes sense in the world. that isn't what diagetic means, and I'm still not entirely convinced it works the way you think it does. also lol that seeing a respawn point would somehow be immersion ruining metagaming in a game where you can zip across an enormous map at any point by hitting like three buttons

Trying to do a SL120 or even lower while also keeping the base offensive required stats would basically leave you in 1-2 shot territory from everything else. I'm not sure if the 70 Int spell should really be factored in since I can't imagine someone wanting to use that spell in a PvP build anyway--it's the most telegraphed, slowest-moving projectile in the world. That said the sheer power they let players have in Elden Ring is probably going to make it really hard to find a good meta PvP level. Set it too low and it's just going to be glass cannon city where people pump offensive stats to use a hard-to-dodge weapon art and play rocket tag. Set it too high and everyone's good at everything and there aren't really any "builds." Elden Ring is currently really not balanced for PvP, though, and my (likely very controversial) opinion is that I really prefer it that way, because the current state of the game allows for a lot of really fun and flashy stuff that sucks to play against in PvP to be good and usable in PvE. If (hopefully "if" and not "when") those things are nerfed for PvP reasons it's going to really flatten the PvE side.
