I feel like BotW would be the bigger of the two despite getting more playtime from ER. having played both and not even seen elden ring's map in its entirety breath of the wild's map is absolutely 100% bigger, it's also just a lot emptier is all

There was a love triangle between Gideon, Delores and Seluvis and Seluvis ended it by turning Delores into a puppet. As a result Seluvis was forced out of the Hold and Gideon sought out someone he thought he could control better. edit: Here's part of it... One of Seluvis's favorite puppets...Spirit of a handsome archer who dressed in the style of a man. Called the silent hunter by some...Dolores once belonged to the Roundtable Hold, where she was both a critic and a friend of Gideon the All-Knowing. It was because of her that he and Seluvis went there(sic) separate ways. Mehrunes fucked around with this message at 05:18 on Apr 1, 2022 |

Sellen knows about Seluvis interests from their days at the academy together, which presumably predated Seluvis working with Gideon.

in other news i got a chance to try out the damage over time area of effect attack of the death's poker on some big enemies, having been giving the impression that it might be the new hoarfrost stomp, and was immensely disappointed. i bet you it's incredibly vicious in pvp since the required damage to kill is so much lower but against a big fat erdtree avatar it did less damage with the full burn than two jump attacks edit: although upon further research it sounds like maybe i should be trying the big explosion attack instead of the damage over time attack...

After a couple of hours of attempts I finally got past Malenia’s first phase. I very strongly disagree with the idea I’ve seen everywhere that respeccing from STR to DEX is necessary or even a good idea for this fight. Her biggest weakness is that she is very very weak to poise damage, which STR weapons excel at. With powerstanced greatswords , my jumping L1s were doing 1K a pop and I would get periodic crits. The important thing is to bait her into attacking first, so you’re not caught with your pants down if she decides her next attack is going to be waterfowl dance

I've seen a lot of people crush Malenia with that one attack, the flaming hammer one where you just hold down L2 and you turn into push mower and it gives you HP back. Also, the absolute Chad Unga Bunga with dual hammers blasted her in seconds with like 3 jump attacks. Dex is absolutely not a requirement. You just have to be strong enough or cheap enough to break her poise, and react appropriately when she does her ribbon dance. Everyone made a huge deal about her difficulty, but it's really just roll in at the right power level, don't get greedy, roll, for the love of God don't get greedy. Or roll in OP as gently caress, or with some cheese gear like Dung Eater sword. The Anime Liker fucked around with this message at 05:39 on Apr 1, 2022 |

The Joe Man posted:There's a setting for this in the options. Or at least something close to it, I can't check at the moment. There's an option to not get invited to someone who has already been invaded, not to stop future invasions. Consider that From forgot the lessons from DS2 about giving PVPers more options to spread them out. Add on to that condensing them invading players who are typically summoning because they need help with just the PVE aspect and ehhhh... still 9.9 out of 10 but there's always room for improvement.

someone linked the invasion level tiers here earlier and iirc it said level + 20 + (level*.1) and I don't think that's accurate I'm level 57 so upper bound should be 57 + 20 + 6, but I just killed a level 97 that I brought in via taunter's tongue.

The other thing about Seluvis is that he was apparently a member of Roundtable Hold, which seems to indicate that he's Tarnished? Probably? Oh, well, it's not like we really know what a Tarnished is, either.

Rand Brittain posted:The other thing about Seluvis is that he was apparently a member of Roundtable Hold, which seems to indicate that he's Tarnished? Probably? A tarnished is someone who lost the Grace of the Erdtree (supposedly) and thus was banished from the Lands Between. Now that the Grace has returned to them they’re being drawn back to the Lands Between to become the Elden Lord. A more complicated understanding is Marika can make people tarnished by taking away their Grace and was doing so to keep Godfrey and several powerful or intelligent people free from the Greater Will she was trying to long con escape from.

Trash Trick posted:someone linked the invasion level tiers here earlier and iirc it said level + 20 + (level*.1) and I don't think that's accurate Actually as a level 57 player you should only be able to be invaded by players up to level 63. (57 + 10%) If you used the bloody finger yourself you could invade players anywhere between level 83 and 51. The invasion window is lopsided, so invaders can be a decent chunk lower than their host but not much higher. I guess the taunter's tongue might extend the window though?

Okay so I'm going to blunder in here and complain about a boss fight: Malenia. What the gently caress am I supposed to do during the blade flurry? Is this a "better get a greatshield buddy" because rolling seems completely pointless and it basically one shots me unless she decides to do it to my spirit. None of the other fights I've done feel as cheap as this.

Now that the Grace has returned to them they’re being drawn back to the Lands Between to become the Elden Lord. What if that isn't Marika? It seems more like the alien Greater Will saw the threat posed to it by the alien Giant's Flame and used Hoarah Loux to neutralize it. As soon as he finished the greater will cast him off as he was no longer of use. I saw his return as purely an act of pride, as are all wrestlemania matches.

When she jumps up in the air and lingers, that's your sign to de-target lock her and run the gently caress away. You outrun the first phase, then roll away for the second, and then roll towards her for the third. If you do it right you won't get hit.

Yes, but we don't know exactly when this happened, or if it only happened once, or a lot of other details. We definitely know that not every Tarnished showed up in the Lands Between again at the same time, but there are a lot of missing pieces we'll probably never get, just like with the Seluvis story.

causticBeet posted:Anyone gently caress with scythes? Grave Scythe seems pretty dope in terms of “STR/DEX scaling, can put enchants on, funny big weapon.” I’m level 45 now on a save that I intend to try to stay between 50-80 for PvP in earlier caelid + capital using power stanced scythes and the move set feels pretty good. The dodge L1 and jump L1 especially are very cool and fun. Yeah, I used the Winged Scythe for most of my Faith/Str playthrough, until I got the Blasphemous Blade. I still switch back to the Winged Scythe (and sometimes will power stance the Winged Scythe with a regular, Sacred-affinity Scythe) when I fight an enemy that's strong against fire. Scythes are sick, they have huge range, aren't super slow and have very good Weapon Arts. Too bad there only four and two of them are RNG-based drops.

The Berzerker posted:Thinking of doing a Faith focused run, adding some Strength or Dex (preferably Strength as I haven't done that either). Has anyone played around with the Golden Epitaph? I was thinking of trying to get it early but not sure if it is worthwhile long term. It's a very solid bread and butter weapon for faith. No flash, but if you just want to hit things quickly and kill them it's fine.

really, faith builds have a bit of an awkward time with weapons because of the preponderance of bosses with either high holy or high fire resist. you can swap between sacred and flame art as needed on a regular weapon, but you need to plan to lug around two weapons if you're gonna use a somber weapon at all

Didn't realize that 80 would be ridiculously overleveled post-nerf cuz the first time I fought him I was ~85 and I barely won, and even then only because I abused the gently caress outta hoarfrost stomp in the second phase, so that was my frame of reference Lore chat: At the Lower Capital Grace you find Lionel's armor and a deathbed dress here:  Is the implication that Fia had something to do with Lionel's death? Does this happen to everyone Fia kills?
