This is the way. Both items are loving dope, I always dupe Radahn's remembrance.

Most of the way through Lies of P and just have to comment that this game's stagger/posture break system is a million times better. Can't wait for the DLC nobody can do it like From.

Yeah I thought you would have to get either one sword or one bow for each remberance per play through.

The Radahn swords are special, dual-wielding is the two-handing stance for them. Getting another copy is just redundant

It's a minor in Int. Presumably he was the party animal in his small college town.

You can duplicate any remembrance at those walking mausoleum things. Definitely get both in one playthrough.

Radahn got enough int so he could use some gravity magic and not crush his best friend.

Sorry nerds, as much fun as it is imagining Radahn squeezing into a tiny desk, drawing pictures of dinosaurs on his trapper keeper, and dutifully handing over a novelty-sized tuition check (the only kind big enough for his handwriting) every semester, he in fact went to Sellia to get his gravity GED.

What is all this Radahn slander? Wasn’t he so powerful with magic that he kept the stars in the sky from moving? That’s not something a meathead jock wizard could do, that’s a genius intellect. His brain was buff.

I did it!! I hadn't played a souls game or soulslike(a bit of the surge 2 last year actually) since dark souls 2 at launch, but started bloodborne and elden ring at the same in June. Since then I've beaten every soulsborne game not including sekiro(but I did beat demons souls remake, which was cool since I was 14 or so when it came to the west and it was my first ps3 game), in approximately 4 months. I feel so accomplished holy poo poo. I'm not a "good gamet" so this felt really cool. Played every single game as a strength build with ugs, tho I messed with other bigguns in ER, and while my favorite game is whatever I'm playing I do think elden ring is The Best.

Currently doing a faith build. My one eyed priest is a badass, just beat Liurnia. Having a hard time with Radahn for some reason (lot harder without my zweihander) so I might swoop back to leyndale since I just got the dectus medallion and already killed the magma wyrm. Any cool faithy recommendations to try? I think I'm sitting at 25 str, 30 faith and 15 dex just so I could try out the magma wyrm sword, which seems fun.

Also does anyone else make up elaborate backstories while they play? My priest i decided was on his way to boletaria to cleanse the fog when he "fell asleep" and woke up in the lands between. Theres some confusion as to why his miracles work with false idols but he got too much faith in The God(sic) for that to stop him from slinging lightning bolts

I love elaborate theme characters. My first and favorite was a blind strength/faith build named Samson who wielded a Jawbone Axe.

I definitely imagine my character as a consistent personality but I didn't think about my ER backstory much. I ended up a turtle knight that married Ranni so perhaps that's how I sought to conjoin the heresy of this ruined realm. :allears:

I had big laugh at how all the endings are bizarrely depressing.

Okay class, today lets talk about everyone’s dreams for the future! Who wants to start?
Fat kid: I wanna cover everything in POOP!! And and and the clouds turn to DIARRHEA!! And everyone is cursed by the POOP CURSE!!
Bighat emo goth girl: I want everyones senses to disappear and all light to vanish and everyone to fumble around in darkness forever unable to connect with other people… just like me…
Guy in the back: I wanna fracture civilization.
Scrawny kid waving arms frantically: i i i think peace and order sounds ni-
Edgelord: Pfft… this world is hosed anyway… just burn it all…
Weird nervous girl: When my dad died my mom cremated him and spread his ashes over a field and said he will be happy there forever so I think everyone should dance in the happy ash field forever.

You're misreading Ranni a little. She's not goth, she's an edgy atheist -- she's describing the existential vertigo of freedom when there no gods to tell you what to do.

That ending is also apparently badly mistranslated:

https://www.frontlinejp.net/2022/03/14/elden-ring-the-age-of-stars-ending-mistranslations-explained/

The gist of it being that she doesn't want everyone to suffer as she has, she is very specifically taking on a tremendous supernatural burden and then keeping it as far from humanity as possible without outright destroying it.

My only complete playthru was pure strength, and I took the dark that Ranni talks about as sort of this, figuring it was metaphorical. Queue the ending I got where it seemed pretty drat literal. Sort of fit with my big dumb tough guy who tried to do the right thing only to essentially destroy everything

I love the idea of Ranni not aiming for abysmal nihilism, but also the oh poo poo moment was pretty great

Ranni is being purposefully vague because she doesn't actually know what's going to happen and didn't expect the tarnished to beat up her dad.
