    Elden Ring - From Software + George RR Martin

    Okay so Radahn still not down, think at 61ish I'm not good enough to take him down yet, though I'm also not using the great rune. Ill see of I can grind a few levels and try again, just not sure if Str or Vig is better to pump. Also, sitting at 21 endurance so that could be an issue too...

    You shouldnt really have to sneak, you can beeline for that ladder you knocked down and make it to the boss without getting hit at all once you learn the route.....at least it worked for me, still haven't beaten the boss yet but I was like level 45ish when I tried.

    It really does seem that P2 is time gated, when I got a lucky moveset where I got behind him 2x pretty much back to back, he didnt do the meteor thing until around 35%, but of course I panic rolled and got 2-pieced and died. Heading home from my parents but that fucker is dying tonight if I...

    Yeah I know it's possible but definitely not the intended way, just refusing to use those summon marks on the ground for my own dumb principles. Will try to imbue my weapon next attempt and see how that goes, I know I can do it, but the window for dodging seems pretty tiny.

    Radahn is FUCKING aggressive!!! Doing fairly decent on his first phase until the meteors come and I've only made it to phase 2 twice, both times I've died within seconds. Sticking to my usual melee-only no summons or ashes but damn is this frustrating. Think I'm gonna grind while I explore...

    I haven't yet, found a few 8s I believe and 4 /5s, but Im trying to do Rannis quest and at the Radahn part after clearing out the manor. I dont know if that is considered mid game yet or not, there's just so much to find, I love it but it makes it really hard to gauge progress. Level 61...

    At this point jist regular, but I did check the blacksmith after I found out I get a 3rd talisman slot after finishing the Academy - and found that I had enough to upgrade my lordsworn greatsword to +11. Was just hoping to find the bell that unlocked the 3 / 4 smithing runes to purchase as I...

    So I beat the Academy last night and really have no clue where I'm supposed to go next. Still have a +8 hammer and +8 greatsword I alternate between, I'm thinking I should probably get them both to +10 but Im not sure how. I only found the first bearing thingie so I cant buy the stones, is it...

    I dont remember exactly but it was before the dog fight I swung at an empty book case and it opened a hallway that kinda wrapped around, definitely in the academy. If you cant find it ill try and be more specific when I get home and load it up.(that's if you're trying to stay pretty blind about...

    Finally found the key to get into the Academy. I also found some spot with a witch NPC invader that kept one-shotting me with her blue lightsaber sword, assuming at level 50 I'm not supposed to be there yet? Beat the dog boss at Raya and then called it a night, I'm assuming this dungeon is as...

    I had the same experience though I didnt summon to kill Omenkiller, had the same invasion and actually that's the armor I'm rocking in the pic I posted. I don't know for sure but I assume killing the Omen dude is what triggered the invasion on my next warp back to RTH. Once you kill him go...

    Best advice I can give for parries is look at their hand and not the weapon, for crucible knight I hit L2 as SOON as the hand swung towards me, worked about 90% of the time. Also, as said earlier, just learn it for 2-3 attacks and dodge the rest, he took me a good amount of tries but once I...

    Am I the only one that keeps accidentally hopping off my horse mid-battle? I get hype when I'm ambushed ir fighting a boss and CONSTANTLY hit L3 by accident, males me so angry!

    Elden Ring - From Software + George RR Martin

    Man, I know I sound like a broken record at this point, but you hit the nail on the head......on top of everything else, they didn't even release a ton of details and kept expectations low, FromSoft is seriously a different breed. This game would've exceeded my expectations if they would've...

    Anyone go back to that crystal mine you get warped to? Just made it to the boss and kicked a ladder down, I won't spoil anything, but at level 46 that thing was VISCIOUS!!!! My attacks barely scratched him and he wrecked me in 2-3 aggressive hits!

    Elden Ring - From Software + George RR Martin

    Agreed 100%. And I only chose Wretch because a first playthrough is the only time you get to find shit so its really the only way to make everything you find initially viable at least temporarily. I also like that the stats are all at 10 so I can spec as I want from the beginning. Definitely...

    Definitely not letting this one end for 100+ hours. Going to let the ghosts in Selia Town rape the fuck out of me until I finish that area and then find another blank area without Graces to explore. Gonna be 30+ hours in Limgrave alone Id guess, already up to 21 hours I believe. Other game...

    Elden Ring - From Software + George RR Martin

    Hey so I was screwing around in the Selia town area and I was able to light one of the torches, without spoiling anything how the hell am I supposed to know what door unsealed? I did end up stumbling on another duo boss and I JUST scraped by, got another faith sword and some glintstaff. I...

    Elden Ring - From Software + George RR Martin

    Yeah I can't remember the last game that had me this obsessed, I'm literally at work and wishing I could play right now. Still haven't even started exploring the 2nd area yet, killed like 5 or 6 optional bosses in Limgrave and I am sure I haven't done 50% of this area's content. Game of the...

    If you dodge his flying move just be ready to dodge the 2 tail whips afterwards and it isnt too bad. I just couldn't find time to attack him without the parry window, great longsword was too slow 90% of the time.

    Crucible Knight absolutely kicked my ass 3x as long as Margit, I had to actually learn to parry in order to do any dmg. Fun fight though once I learned to git gud.

    Elden Ring - From Software + George RR Martin

    I disagree, while Ima huge Souls fan in general, I'm far from the best at these games. I make sure I kill all bosses myself in melee form, but some of them have easily taken me 30+ tries. Margit's second phase seemed terrible until I slowly learned it, and I didnt parry nor guard break. It...

    Elden Ring - From Software + George RR Martin

    Margit definitely took a while for me, once I learned the moves in phase 2 he would still catch me with one of his stalled attacks, when I won I had a sliver of health and 1 flask left but I'll take it. Made it to the 2nd overworld area but thinking I should explore more in Limgrave for a...

    Elden Ring - From Software + George RR Martin

    Yeah once I finish my initial playthrough I'm gonna see if I can pull off a crazy 2hand build and then go for a spell build. The game is completely different depending on your playstyle - which is a main reason these games have such replayability. Still wish they would add encounters and...

    Okay Godrick down in like 5 tries, once I adjusted for his phase two It wasnt too bad. Going to explore for a while now and not try to advance the story for a LONG while.....I wanna savor every second of this one.

    Jumping attacks worked for me once I dodged the barrel they throw.

    Elden Ring - From Software + George RR Martin

    Took down Margit at lvl 25 (wretch) but had a +3 greatsword, just got to Godrick and got him to 60% my first try, definitely seems easier than Margit was but he still has some crazy combos. Think I was about to have him to phase 2 when I died. Are all the other areas beyond Limgrave this...

    Thats the sword I'm using but 1handed because I'm a pussy, was a huge upgrade from the club but barely scratches Margot currently, I'm just taking my time exploring. Found a few areas already that I seem to be way unprepared for...hoping I find a complete set of armor at some point...

    Elden Ring - From Software + George RR Martin

    Started Wretch and still only have a helm and gauntlets, but I farmed up 16 str to use a long sword and a 100% phys bronze shield. Got Margot to like 35% and got my ass kicked. Fun fight but I do such low damage it feels like it takes forever. Stumbled on a bird boss / dragon / and of course...

    Bloodborne

    I can see a BB remake coming out pretty quickly after ER and a sequel would be amazing, I'd think it has at least been started in some form or another. A PS5 exclusive sequel to Bloodborne would be phenomenal if Demons Souls Remake is any indication, I hope it happens sooner rather than later.

    Sucks, if I wanted to play PS5 version early sounds like I'd have to region change and rebuy the game in the NZ store, oh well Midnight it is!

    Elden Ring - From Software + George RR Martin

    How does that work? If I preload from NA server will it still let me complete the download via a different region? I'm on PS5 by the way.
