Extremely disappointed the Mohg blood lakes don't give you a horrible disease.

You're telling me that Liurnia's waters are poisonous in areas but Mohg Lake is just perfectly safe to swim in?

Miyazaki, you coward.

The waters of Lake Mohg are constantly circulating as the murder chickens go nuts, which prevents any harmful mold or algae build up.

I thought Miyazaki had innovated on swamps by making them continually build up after you exit them. Greatest drat game of all time.

Yes, we demand blood buildup when you roll through the blood swamp.
Also, a frost swamp.
And maybe even a death swamp.

I hope we get those as DLC. With a room full of warhawks as a boss.

The people cry out for more swamps.

Lightning swamps.

Deathblight swamps.

Bleed swamps.

Frost swamps.

New damage type swamps.

Pierce swamps that are just lots of needles.

A rot swamp with 3 crucible knights in it and they're mandatory bosses.

Not enough info to say. What's your level? Build? What're your weapons at? If you're squishy what is your Vit and why don't you have more? Armor doesn't matter that much tbh. Been to the capitol yet? With progression how it is in this game just knowing where you are isn't that useful.

Like, over 70 I don't remember very well. I think I have the bloodhound fang at like +8 or so, my Vit is probably my highest stat just shy of 30 and I think my Str/Dex/Fai is like 25/24/21 I wanna say. The last big boss I beat was Radahn, I got to the capital city gates I think, slapped that one rematch guy around very easily, and am just running around finding whatever interests me on the map. I did some Volcano Manor, found a grace at the start of Mt. Gelmir, found the poison rear end city on the northernmost corner of the plateau and that's about it.

Doing an NG+2 run with only the final achievement in mind really makes you appreciate just how short the game really is when you're not doing any exploring. I'm already level 227 with an entire arsenal of maxed out weapons and ashes from previous playthroughs so I don't really need anything anymore. I didn't even look at Caelid longer than it took to get the medallion. Don't need to bother with NPC questlines since I have no interest in trying out NG+3 so I won't be needing any more cap stones.

Is making me ache for a fresh save though, kinda miss the challenge and cobbling poo poo together.

Also STR/INT seems to have a pretty easy time since very few things seem to have any notable magic resistance. I've been using the Royal Greatsword and ice spells from range during those times when the enemies just don't feel like letting you have a turn.

I was in pretty much the same boat and welp i started a new save. I just wish i could give some of the endgame stuff to the new character, i already miss her looking exactly like i want fashion souls-wise.


Although, to be totally honest, i may go back and breeze through Chaos Ending and wait for some DLC before i really commit to starting all over again. We'll see

I've spent so much time in NG+ that I legit forgot that you need to earn the right to wear four talismans. I look at my equipment with a fresher character and something just feels *wrong*.

With the amount of horseshit in Elden Ring PvP I am really glad this didn't happen. I had a great time in DS2 PvP but ER is a poison swamp of insufferable youtubers and meta wiki poo poo.

In DS2 I just made up a random-rear end PvP build. Lightning spear, offhand Falchion, Watcher shield, Bow of Want w/lightning arrows. This worked well enough to get me to 300 net wins in the blood arena. Perhaps that wasn't the best possible use of god knows how many hours of my one and only life in this world though.

What's the etiquette on allowing people to buff themselves for 30 seconds at the start of duels? Is this the honorable, righteous thing to allow, or am I a chump watching someone dig my own grave in front of me?

Half the time their buffs seem pretty inconsequential, but the only time I got really irritated and started attacking was when someone buffed themselves with multiple spells and then started chowing down on crab meat. But maybe I was the baddie?
