It took 60 hours but I finally got a DS2 style fight club! I got through three guys before the fourth took me out with a last second lightning bolt - he survived my ice rapier poke with 1% hp lol Grace Mimics are fun for setting up starting points

Are there any good places to get summoned at level 50 with a +11 weapon? Haven’t been summoned in forever, but I did a lot of exploring before I got on the main track. I just beat the final boss of Raya Lucaria.

Willfrey posted:If you want a good somber stone weapon early the Thanks. I looked up how to get the Bloodhound Fang, and that led into me doing one of the quests (the one tied to the fight, with the half-wolf dude you get as a summon). I didn't really experiment with it much (it puts into the heavy equip load), but it seems pretty powerful, and the bleed seems helpful. Actually, there's a lot of weapon and craftable items that do bleed damage, and I think Ashes of War too. Is making a viable Bleed/Blood build a thing? Anyway, after that, I did the quest for Morne Castle. Beating the archer was very easy, as was the castle. I used the castle commander summon for the fight against the boss. I went back to the questgiver and...well, I'm hoping there's a follow up quest later on.  Is it too early to fight that dragon in the lake up in Limgrave? I figured I had to wait until later in the game, but the map I looked at showed there were some items you get around the lake. Frankston posted:As someone who really struggles to remember names and stuff, god drat do I have a hard time remembering names and stuff in Elden Ring. poo poo like: I'm having the same issue. I couldn't remember Blaidd's name (which is why I referred to him as 'half-wolf dude') and had to look it up for this post. Same with the boss for Morne Castle, which is Leonine Misbegotten, but my brain keeps distorting it into 'Lorraine Mordecai'. I can't even remember the name of the lady who visits you at the grace sites, or the horse-riding knight with the flail I fought outside the castle perimeter. As such, that's where I can understand the desire for a questlog, or just having some sort of index of all the characters you've met, because there is a lot to keep track of. That said, I could also just jot down names and notes in a notebook, which is something I like doing (even though I tend to be kind of lazy about it at times).

Just don't do it in Caleid unless you have a desire to fight Radahn. Of all the coop I've done radahn tends to be the least fruitful + most glitchy

Honestly there's a lot of cheese strats in the game and I feel like a lot of people are struggling because when they find one they think "oh I'm probably not supposed to do it that way", but like, there are so many absolutely broken abilities and weapons in the game that it's clearly an intentional balance choice to do it that way.

Macaluso posted:She is resistant to magic. However, if you have Rock Sling, that counts as a physical attack (I guess cause they're rocks that are literally being ripped from the ground) which works well against her. You can get that spell from the Streets of Sages Ruins over in Caelid, in the big blood lake place. I recall it being pretty straightforward to get, you didn't need to fight a boss or anything. Ok thanks this worked first time haha poo poo

Vermain posted:high negation also seems to partly cancel out the effect of soreseal, presumably due to how negation is calculated multiplicatively. stuffing yourself into tragoth's set + greatshield talisman will make the drop from soreseal more like around -6-7%, although your elemental resists will still be eating poo poo pretty badly As far as I can tell the negation gained from stats is included in the negation on your character sheet and you can see the exact difference between your negation with and without the soreseal by pressing y on the equip menu with the soreseal selected, to change the Right panel's view. e: whoops no I was wrong, stats screen does not include defenses in negation, they're listed separately side by side deep dish peat moss fucked around with this message at 05:03 on Mar 15, 2022 |

Heroic Yoshimitsu posted:This i pledge: I will beat this game while still loving it Honestly I probably just need to take a break for a day or so before jumping back in. The latter parts of Souls games are always more challenging (often in intentionally bullshit ways), and there's only so much of that I can take before it starts to really piss me off. Unfortunately, I chose a very specifically bullshit series of things to tackle in a row (unintentionally; I didn't know what they were before diving in) that would have been manageable individually.

I swapped to the big red hammer and I'm using hoarfrost stomp. It's helped. Mimic Tear is great too, I pushed down a late game boss with it Mohg... the one in the blood palace. and it was funny seeing several player messages saying "praise the mimicry" and such that seemed to be clear I was not the only one. That said the hammer moveset is leaving a bit to be desired - the standing r2 is just so slow it ends up being a liability if I accidentally use it, and it just lacks the reach and sweep that my colossal sword had. Got to Haligtree. gently caress that place. Feels a bit better once I got to slightly more solid ground. Jesus the inital branch area was a bunch of dickery that was fun until I got my poo poo slapped by the extra large trumpet fucker - like dying to them once or twice while trying to get over to them was fine, but then the comedy of errors in just trying to get through quickly tried my patience, then getting to the fucker and them having a serious moveset? Piss off. Also very not happy about losing like 70k runes because a plant decided to use it's magic bullshit on my through a floor while I was climbing a ladder. Also the archers in the township just leading up to haligtree are giving the anor londo archers a ruin for the money in getting me salty. quote:The best part is that it leads to an area that leads to an even deeper underground zone I missed the gargoyle warp at first - I found my way down there from the capital, but I thought I dead-ended when I got to the deathbed companion lady - she gave me the option to kill her but I think I actually need to swing on her to make that happen so I'm holding off for now - i didn't see any other means of progress down there, but I might have just not been terribly through.

Babe Magnet posted:if they're going to make it so you can't invade a person solo unless they specifically use a special item, they really should have put a cap on how many buddies the host can summon once you invade. Just had an invasion where the host and his little friends hid in a little alove with a bonfire, his boys taking point while he just spammed pebble from the back of the room. I dive in and take out one of the summons but the moment one of them drops, the other retreats and starts slamming out AoE moves while the host runs up and just summons another guy. If they're willing to be dicks in this fashion it's up to you to be even more of a dick and wait to engage them around npcs. Otherwise it's it's infinite stalemate where they just don't get to even play the game, which I consider a defacto invader victory.

I'm not done yet, but If this game pulls actually the rot and really hosed up death poo poo is actually good i'll be very cross. Or at least, I get some vibes that like, there's an aspect of hosed up immortality or poo poo persisting too long similar to Dark Souls, and there's people who wanted death, but I'm kind of getting confused between Death and Those Who Live in Death, and some of these people sure seem like real dicks about it. Those Who Live In Death seem to be like, the undead, which wouldn't that run counter to death? At least where I'm at, the two fingers, the greater will, and the erdtree all kind of seem like dicks too. But I guess it wouldn't be very FromSoft if you and something that was unambitiously good/right?Bleck posted:There's another coffin near the watery cliff on the northwestern side of Deeproot that leads down to Ainsel River Main.

But I guess it wouldn't be very FromSoft if you and something that was unambitiously good/right? I'm almost certain the rot is bad, very bad, monstrous even. Everything about it is implied to be extremely hosed up and painful, if anything it'd be a symptom of the hosed up immortality too long lives, not a good death. Relatedly the Dung-Eater (the closest to a "Rot Questline") is a supremely hosed up little man who defiles corpses and destroys the process of souls returning to the Erd Tree simply because he likes doing awful gross hosed up things. Those who live in Death specifically shut death off by loving with the Rune of Death, as part of a plan for immortality. The natural process of life and death is implied to be a good thing, but rot is not, and those who live in death are questionable perhaps. Nuebot posted:Isn't the big corpse/prince of death Godwyn, who was by all accounts a pretty cool dude who made friends with dragons and stuff, and not Godfrey? Yes it is Godwyn, Godfrey is explicitly not dead just banished. Godwyn is the corpse in Deeproot, and might also be the corpse in Stormveil. Considering he's fusing into the roots of the Erd Tree, it's possible his face is sprouting from Erd Tree Roots all over the world and the Stormveil one is the only one we found.

The Shortest Path posted:It does prevent people from mounting which makes the arrow rain nearly impossible to avoid and overall hurts caster builds a whole lot in that fight. If you never cross the first little sand ridge past the initial summons he will never do the arrow rain attack. Just wait for him to bust out his swords and aggro a summons. That said, most hosts do not know this.
