I don't think I've ever equipped a shield in Elden Ring. If my hands are moving, something sharp is in them. Except for when I put on the penis robe.

Other than perhaps Radahn (TBD), Gaius was the most annoying fight by far, even though it took me longer to take Messmer down. Fuck that asshole and the pig he rode in on. Here's my personal difficulty ranking for a lot of the named bosses (leaving out the invaders/crypt bosses etc because I...

The Acolyte makes Book of Boba Fett look like the Empire Strikes Back.

I hit Radhan over the weekend and made three low-effort attempts at him just to get a feel for the fight. It really does seem turbo shitty and unfun and I haven't yet felt the desire to log back in and give it a serious attempt. This may be the first time I just look up the best cheese build and...

I think everything is effectively wrapped up except for the final area. Finger Mother was more irritating than she should have been. I don't know if I got unlucky or what, but she constantly seemed to fly around blasting the giant super laser, and whenever I got close she'd turn sideways and go...

It's pretty surprising how quickly you can make a direct run to the final area without really trying to, as long as Messmer isn't a huge roadblock, at least. It snuck up on me fast and I haven't had a lot of time to play. I made some progress up the tower (Taker's Flames > those bullshit...

The "terrible" version was nerfed not long after release. Unless for some reason that was reversed later, as long as you aren't severely under-geared/under-leveled the fight's not too bad. As far as ranking this DLC as the "best ever", eh, I don't know. I think Elden Ring is certainly one of...

I nearly one shot Malenia back when I first went through the game. It was way late, I was exhausted and awake for far longer than I intended to be. I hacked my way through the Haligtree stuff, and then there's Malenia as I'm literally nodding off with the controller in my hand. Alright...one...

From what I read he can also drop the shield, which I think is where I got it. Apparently other knights can drop the shield, but not the greathammer. In any case I'm OCD with loot and wouldn't have left anything behind, especially not something off of a higher-tier trash mob.

I wonder if it's unintentional and will be fixed in a patch. Pure RNG cancelling out good loot for an entire playthrough isn't exactly SOP for Elden Ring.

That looks good as well, I'll move the flame knight by the lift to farm status. It's past time for a change from Blasphemous Blade and nothing else has stuck so far, even post-nerf.

Apparently only the knight in the church drops it. He also drops the shield, which evidently is how I got that, which also means I'll never get the weapon this playthrough since he never respawns. Stupid.

Does that actually drop from the mounted knights that are all over the place? I've murdered a ton of them and got a shield once, never a weapon.

If there's truly only one viable build for the final boss, it seems likely he'll get nerfed. And I may just need to get some more blessings levels. I'm "only" 7 at the moment and the instant that fuck Messmer decides it's time for me to die, it's over. Of course, I somehow got him down to 10%...

I was just about to ask if there's a boss more bullshit than Messmer, because if so I may just need to uninstall this nonsense before I have an aneurysm. lol, whelp
