My second playthrough is just as fun as the first, this game kicks so much rear end.

Half of them happened right before the boss died, does the host get more runes if they get the kill while solo?

welp this is a hell of a lot of coincidences if the hosts aren't doing it on purpose. Just got another connection error as the boss was in its death animation.

i get a lot of connection errors in this game both when invading or just doing regular co-op not sure what the deal is

On PC I have had pretty good luck connection wise. The only annoying thing I run into is sometimes all summon signs will say unable to summon for like a minute, then they all suddenly start working.

I'm on PC wired connection, and it's been awful. Hours of wasted time. Gonna drop coop farming for a while.

I keep wondering if any of those spokes on the fringes of the Haligtree are window dressing or not. They all look like little structures you could go into if there's a way to get there

lmao I can't believe one of the last things I had left to uncover on weeping peninsula was another teleport trap.. it's so hard to put this down at the end of the night. whenever I try to quit I stare at the map and my notes for 10 minutes deciding where I want to go next.

Xbox co-op is very hit and miss for me. It doesn’t take long for me to be summonsed to help, but I’ll sit there for 10 minutes just waiting for a golden message to appear and then it’s 10 more minutes of unable to summon messages

I’ve mostly found it fine on PS. I get summoned very fast and only occasionally get an unable to connect message on arrival in the host world . Then last night I got like five in a row till I restarted the game and still got a few after

It's been fine on PC but I'm scared to engage with multiplayer much because of insane shitheads who do fail hacker magic that ruins your game forever

Beat the game finally and got a cool ending. Aside from two or three bad bosses it's basically perfect and I'm already thinking about ng+ even though this first run was like 225 hours

i feel like I'd be able to clear ng+ in 1/10th the time because most of the first run is preparation for harder areas, i cant wait to make a beeline to the endgame in it lol

I never savescum to get endings in these games so the ending trophies are going to take me the longest. In Bloodborne and Demon's Souls I had fun taking a fresh character and seeing how fast I could rush through to the end. Wonder how long that would take in Elden Ring. Lots of things are skippable but endgame bosses might be really hard underleveled.

Got to the stuff past the capital, hoping for that big difficulty spike soon. Capital boss was cool but too easy, would have been great 50 hours ago. Doing the chariot in Gelmir and man these sections suck lol they take so long and then you die after 5 minutes of dully finding the next hiding place and dealing with skeletons in each one.

Am I crazy or do the Page enemies (humans with a hood, rapier, and fire crossbow) feel overturned a little? Whatever area I’m in most enemies their size hit for maybe 10%-25% of my health per hit, and then one shot from the crossbow takes of 60% of my hp. And don’t even get me started on the elite ones with the repeater crossbows and a trillion poise

i died to the one repeater fire crossbow guy at the foot of the stairs in the Capitol more than any other random mob. They’re so nasty

I beat the actual boss of Raya Lucaria on my first try but had to come back for the random hallway guarded by a page later because he was too hard.
