That's how the Rune of Rule 34 works, though; you speak the curse into existence and it becomes retroactively true.

My uncle works at dark souls and he told me they’re gonna patch Elden Beast to let you ride Torrent in the same patch that they balance Bloodhound Step

You can't ride Torrent because he was actually the elden beast the whole time and you've brought him exactly where he wanted to be

I think that you should be able to get more Torrents. You should be able to recruit Radahn's horsey and ride that around too. You should also be able to rescue Hoarah Loux's big kitty and pet it and ride around on it.

I'm honestly a little scared of eventually doing a pure melee build because I'm such a caster guy at heart and not having my ranged crutches to fall back on will be tough. I'm having a lot of fun with my faith/int build though. Enjoying it even more than my pure int guy. The faith spells rock.

I think a hypothetical third run for me would be an arcane/bleed build. I guess dex/arcane.

you can do a really tanky faith/strength build. It'll be hard to get enough endurance to powerstance giant hammers, but there are some awesome faith/strength scaling greatswords and greatspears.

Part of me wonders if the decision to remove torrent might have been motivated in part by concern about comparisons to BOTW. I don't think it's likely but it's possible. Other than that the only other reason i can think of is probably Miyazaki just didn't want it for whatever reason (or maybe there was a technical issue)

You should be able to get 0 Torrents. Mounts are bad and should be banned.

Counterpoint, that Zullie video showed that dragonflies and trolls have mount points so we should have at least 2 more mount options.

Two days ago, I fought Malenia for the first time. My mimic tear and I easily get through her first form, and then halfway through her second form, my 20-month-old walks into the kitchen and starts crying. I think "no big deal, I'm obviously overpowered for this fight", so I drop the controller and go into the kitchen to see what's up.

It's now about 60 Malenia fight attempts later. I have seen the second form maybe eight times, and usually get wiped out immediately by her opening dive and explosion, which I have no memory of even encountering on the first attempt.

Why was my daughter crying you ask? She saw a dark spot in the wood flooring that she thought was an ant.

Got Sword of Night and Flame at long last and it seems pretty good so far. Weapon arts are good and the melee damage seems surprisingly decent. It attacks very fast too.

I'm feeling a little Talisman starved already. I only have two slots but there's so many I wanna use that even when I unlock a third slot I know it still won't feel like enough.

Seems you were your own worst enemy here. Embrace advertsity and spend two hours ramming your face against them the first time you find them and they'll be much more memorable!

Who is a good youtuber or streamer to watch play through the game for the first time? I just finished my 150 hour first playthrough (Giant Crusher smash!) and want to watch someone else play through. I did watch Saint Riot's run already and enjoyed that.

The actual Manor is my favourite "dungeon" (when I mean dungeon, zone that isn't considered open, not letting you use Torrent) in the entire game.

50 thousand people used to live here. Now, it's the Mushroom Kingdom.
After playing Elden Ring for about 2,5 playthroughs, the only thing I would change is the aggressive reuse of bosses, even if that would result in a smaller game.

There's already a lot of bosses and enemies so it's not like the game's lacking content.

Seems like a you problem, Radahn, Rykard, Melania and Godfrey were instant memes almost as soon as the game came out

I thought that most of the main bosses you get rememberances from were pretty memorable. The Ancestor Spirit with it's music was really amazing, and the Godskin Noble/Apostle fights were really unique too. Not to mention Rykard.

Boss who hurdles at you like a comet in phase 2 and who you get to fight with a legion of your bros? Boss who is a giant snake who pulls a sword out of his mouth? Astel? Placudax?

I will say as Frome games go though my favorite/most memorable boss is still the Chariot boss in DS2. That's just such a fun gimmick the first time you do it.

I got me two olives and a couple of limes


Astel for me as a melee was very memorable because when I saw him again I groaned and said "jesus christ not this rear end in a top hat "

One of my most memorable fights is probably the godskin apostle in the windmill village. Totally took me by surprise, maybe the first one I'd encountered? fun fight

I've been enjoying Playframe's blind playthrough, though his obliviousness can be slightly frustrating occasionally.

I had no idea you could make that impossibly long looking jump on the Raya Academy rooftop. I tried a few times my first play and died so I gave up, but you actually can. Doesn't lead to a whole lot. I think I found a Darkmoon Xbow and another Burger King Crown. Cool, though.

I was dicking around in NG++ in an area of Atlus Plateau I hadn't been before and witnessed a tower evaporate as soon as I started passing it on the clifftops. Went down and discovered the Mirage Rise for the first time in 238hrs. This game loving rules.

I did that spot lost night. Don't think I found it in my first playthrough. There's so much blood on that ledge that I thought it must be impossible.

Wait what boss did you ride away from for a long time.

You can aggro basically any boss in this game with no real consequence
