I ruthlessly murdered Rykard, by equipping the Serpent Lance and then ganging up on him with my favorite NPC, Mimic Tear.

Good loot, a boss fight. Flame Strike ash of war!!!!! Also some smithing stone with elemental options. All the doors are closed if you don't go before the festival. They'll open and repopulate the place with pre-festival enemies if you talk to Jesterman a few times/cycle with bonfire sits after killing Radahn.

The portals activate during the festival and stay up after and will save you considerable amount of time that would otherwise be spent trying to activate graces. The enemies will revert back after the festival so there is nothing to be gained going too early.

you can easily pass the impassable greatbridge by sprinting and holding right or left until the catapults fire, changing sides, then double jumoping before impact. but i admittedly only spent time learning this because it's called the impassable greatbridge and we'll see about that. then just dodge the ballista riding up and hug the castle wall going right, climb the ladder and you're basically at the grace. there is no point besides spiting the game, but what more do you need.

My favorite move is to jump off the side of the bridge with Torrent, then double jump back onto the bridge. If you’re in mid-air over a bottomless pit when the projectile strikes it won’t hit you. It feels very cool.

Man is there anything cooler than throwing out a bunch of fire and then whipping your sword through it to hit something? Every time I change my weapon art I think "but I want to be hitting this guy in the face with a flaming sword"

Every time I change my weapon art I think "but I want to be hitting this guy in the face with a flaming sword" No, it's hard to replace with something that is arguably more useful but inarguably more lame. It's basically my default ash of war for weapons smaller than colossals

It's so much better not having to deal with upgrade materials or worrying about getting ahead of or behind the progression curve.

Epic High Five posted:I take forever to finish any of these games, you really gotta drink in that first playthrough you never get another one better It's this, plus I have the particular kind of brain damage that requires me to come as close to 100% on open world games as possible on the first playthrough. I am compelled to find all the secrets, pick up all the weapons I'll never use/not use for several playthroughs, etc. Elden Ring has the additional bonus of having nailed the experience of coming around a corner on a trail/walking out of a tunnel/opening a door and being struck by an absolutely stunning vista of some new area. The first time I came out of the tunnel after Godrick and saw Liurnia spreading out before me, the first time I walked into Leyndell and saw the city below me and the giant door in the Erd Tree, the first time walking off the lift into the Mountaintop of the Giants...those were all-time great Gamer Moments for me.

I am kind of soured on games where you can't get everything in one run, I'm in my mid forties so one run is generally all a game gets out of me. If it's particularly good I may replay it in a few years time but I'm definitely no longer a 'right, now to replay it but as a different class' type of person. Unless of course there's a DLC coming out soon which is tempting me to hunt down all the mimic tears for more respecs.

I still remember being so confused by the Farum Azula warp at the 4 belfries and then being extra confused by the giants cauldron because that's also the first spot you can clearly see it.

What's a good halberd in mid-to-end game? I was using the one that drops from the Revenger earlier on, but now I've found a bunch more.

Vulgar Militia Saw has innate bleed, which is fun. Nightrider Glaive has an S scaling on Heavy and hits like a dumptruck full of bags of cement. Commander's Standard is a Somber, STR-focused weapon and the AoW is a broadly useful buff that gives bonus damage and damage reduction, albeit only for like 30 seconds.

Highly recommend Howl of Shabriri as a buff for anybody looking to spice things up. Flat damage buff of 25% to all types, but you take like 30% more damage. Last the standard 30 seconds most buffs do, good for a strong start to a boss fight or a quick restart to try again Body buff iirc so it will stack with golden vow for extra damage and taking a but of the edge off, but it means no crab

I’ve only ever played quality builds with no magic because reasons but now I’m in the market for a ranged magic or incantation I can use in lieu of a crossbow. Any suggestions?
