    Elden Ring - From Software + George RR Martin

    Spent another half hour banging my head in her stupid phase 2......realized that you can only freeze pot two times before her resistance goes up too high to interrupt. I had a flawless phase 1 but used 2 pots for it, got her below half and I reacted in time, watched in horror as she ate that...

    It's more of a personal goal, I have no problem with summons or spells or anything, just enjoy the challenge.

    Elden Ring - From Software + George RR Martin

    Trust me I know, I'm still learning but also get terrified after her first flurry bc she sometimes does it like 15 seconds after the first one. If I dont start throwing the ice right when she rises up i get owned before interrupting her. Definitely didn't post to brag, but I will kill that...

    Elden Ring - From Software + George RR Martin

    Here you go, this is right around the furthest I've gotten at this point. I think if I learn the timing on her spinning slash I could consistently get further but for whatever reason that attack is impossible for me. (You'll see me roll dodge it a good amount of times) This fight I was using...

    I've been practicing naked anyway, and I do have that sword, so maybe I'll go thatnroyte when I try tomorrow. Really wanted to get to phase 2 the way I'm doing it but might make all the difference

    Elden Ring - From Software + George RR Martin

    Nah I am using a +10 gold halberd, when she hits 70% or whatever Im prepared for it and can usually survive. But after that she does it whenever she wants so I panic and play less aggresive. Ive never had a fight with more than 3 flurries, which was when I had her to 25%. If I had a...

    Elden Ring - From Software + George RR Martin

    At this point after probably 3+ hours I got her to 25% of phase 1, I've also dodged the first flurry 3 or 4 times without getting hit, along with a handful of times where I got one or two small hits. My problem is that after she does it once, you never know exactly when she is gonna donit again...

    Hoping they announce a remaster and sequel to Bloodborne this year, in addition to some sort of ER DLC.

    I was trying not to cheese that part but if I dont start improving I probably will, I did see that posted a little while back. She dies one way or another!!

    Elden Ring - From Software + George RR Martin

    Okay, after about 45 minutes straight I've gotten the cunt to about 40% of phase one, 9 total parries (3 critical attacks). My problem is I can't for the life of me time the dodges on that stupid ultra bullshit she does. Actually dodged 2 of the 3 attacks once but got owned by her last attack...

    Elden Ring - From Software + George RR Martin

    Damn man, that whole Consecrated Snowfield -> Haligtree area is insanely difficult for a melee only build. Made it all the way to the boss but went back to grab missed stuff and re-realized how much of a pain it is. Definitely helping my parry ability but aside from that, fuck that place...

    Elden Ring - From Software + George RR Martin

    Okay so I finally made it to Missus M, didnt have any time to practice, but this weekend its fucking on!!! I don't plan tobparry exclusively but it would be nice to learn a few of the attacks and get them on lock, like I had to do with the CleanRot Knights in the areas before her. Here's to 2+...

    Elden Ring - From Software + George RR Martin

    Definitely, although Haligtree I fought through about 50% of each grace site and then beelined for the next site. I found a few ancient somber stones which is really what I wanted. Just have to get past the rot section to find M and then Ill go back through and comb for the missed items /...

    I almost wish there was a way to re fight bosses without having to NG + it or start over. Would be cool to practice and perfect each boss, I'm sure it's possible via PC somehow but not on PS5 :(

    Elden Ring - From Software + George RR Martin

    Finally got a chance to play, took down the fog dragon and then went back to Haligtree and made it to Loretta. Jesus she is cheesy, took me like 8-10 tries but some of those phase 2 quad magics didnt seem dodgeable. Maybe I just suck at timing but like I could dodge 5 out of 6, but the 6th...

    Im actually considering a level 1 naked playthrough but I need to get better at parrying first otherwise I doubt I could even take Margit on, gonna try to use that tactic with Malenia if I can ever make it to her. (I couldn't help watch that level 1 ong bak guys video, he made it look so easy!

    Elden Ring - From Software + George RR Martin

    I agree with most of those comments, and the crazy thing is I still think it's an 11/10 game in SPITE of the obvious flaws. I don't know when the last time a game had me thinking about it when I was working; it's just that good, and honestly, I wish I had more time to play so I wasn't so far...

    Elden Ring - From Software + George RR Martin

    Wonder how long a wait it'll be for DLC? At the rate I get to play I probably still have another month or so left of my first playthrough, then I'll probably start from scratch again and follow guides for a 2nd playthrough where I try to find everything, so that's another 2-3 months. Maybe by...

    Elden Ring - From Software + George RR Martin

    Agreed although I only dipped my feet and maybe got 1 or 2 grace sites before I dipped. If I continue with the Fire Giant and beyond will I still be able to go back before I finish the game?

    Is the timing that much easier with the buckler parry? I've been parrying with the bronze shield and seem to be about as consistent with that as I have been the few times I've tried the buckler, I actually think the Captain Niall fight I won was just using the bronze shield for the 100%...

    Elden Ring - From Software + George RR Martin

    Niall down, was kinda a pain but only took about 5 tries thanks to parry. Honestly I think I died more times to the dual wielding spectre than I did to him, but I will say Niall had like 2 attacks that almost 1 shotted me if I wasnt topped off. I went up to Haligtree or whatever and I already...

    I finally got time to play this weekend, I did the assassination missions as well as the full volcano dungeon, made it to Rykard and detoured to explore more in the mountaintops. The sadist part of me wants to kill Rykard without the weapon but after a few attempts I could only get his first...

    Pan'Theon: Rise' of th'e Fal'Len - #1 Thread in MMO

    Game is never making it to Alpha, let alone beta. I wish it would, but it definitely seems like a scam at this point.

    Elden Ring - From Software + George RR Martin

    If that's really the case I'm kind of sad, I definitely felt Radahn was tightly tuned for a solo melee build, but with so many options and Summons available I didn't think it needed much of a nerf. Oh well, guess I'll see how it goes if I ever finish my first playthrough, really wish I had...

    Oooooh, no talismans, thats a good idea, not sure I could progress very fast although aside from minor stat boosts and stam regen, I guess the negate magical damage would be the one I'd miss the most.

    Elden Ring - From Software + George RR Martin

    I think I am officially overleveled. I 3 shot the fully grown fallingstar omw to the volcano, should have got it first try but the bastard landed the grab and I died when he was at like 30%, then my second attempt I didnt jump off my horse fast enough and he killed me in like 2 seconds.

    Elden Ring - From Software + George RR Martin

    Very true, starting as Wretch made the initial leveling faster, but at the same time not having any equipment slows you down a lot more than you'd think. Once you geta decent weapon and armor set you like it tends to go a lot faster, especially once you tackle a few mini-bosses for the nice...

    I'm jealous, hit level 102 in mountaintop of the Giants and haven't had time to play anymore. I apparently missed Mt Gelmir and Volcano completely and now I'm thinking if I go there I'll be overleveled for the trash mobs at least. Hoping to hop back on tonight, game is still game of the decade...

    Elden Ring - From Software + George RR Martin

    You can lock on by pushing in the right stick if you're on controller. You get the horse by finding a small amount of grace sites, don't think it matters which ones. (The little glowing things that let you rest). You can find a decent longsword in a chest before the castle where you see a camp...

    So I never actually found the cave where Patches was, crazy too because I found 2 other ones RIGHT nearby, but I found him today at level 102, one hit dropped him to 0%, but thankfully it looks like they made it so the first hit cant kill him. Crazy how much stuff I probably missed so far...

    Nah I actually told him to try and work magic into his build, I just didn't realize how weak it was until you pour points into Int or whatever. (I read that here, never really did a spell casting build). Actually looking forward to my 2nd playthrough, I'm thinking a hybrid dex / caster build...

    Hahahaha I got that set but didn't equip it yet, that's hilarious! I may have to throw it on if I dont go to Heavy roll mode. I also just killed that bitch ass Miriam!
