Only to turn around when three giants along the bridge rose from their slumber

One thing I learned from good souls streamer is to avoid only rolling back or to a side. Roll frontal over the attack instead! The souls game are not counting a hit when something passes you midair. Advantage: you are in front of the mob and get a window of opportunity instead having rolled away.
Also ER allows you to jump(!) over many attacks and some spells. And yes, parry is very underrated but needs practice.

that fight was fun, it looks really difficult until they start killing each other accidentally. With friends like these who needs tarnished?

man after facing down the two giant archers in that one canyon, i'm pretty cool with giants now. their big asses just slow motion fights.

yea i found this newly devised elden ring jump technology vital to margit. when he slams hammer down you can just be in the air when it hits and take no damage. and jump-heavy-attack is unparalleled in terms of new ways to fuck a dude up.

I also got a lot of milage out of....leaning into attacks. so I move up to a large guy who is swinging from the right, i lean right as he attacks. with my hammer my guy leans down and rears back to hit..and the spear goes over my head, or i scoot under their arm as they swing and just clap cheeks.

Yeah this one you should learn pretty quick. Rolling back is often not far enough or it will land you right in the path of a follow up attack. While rolling into one will not.

Sticking to a giant mob's ankle is a tried and true Souls strategy. My problem is having to memorize where he is going to swing his sword or breath on me based on how he wiggles his toe. It's kind of obnoxious. I wish there was a way to zoom out further, but that's elden ring, baby.

You do this and avoid the sweep only to get pounded by the thing when he mashes his sword pommel against the ground like 5 times.

I audibly count the times (I think it's 6??? I think they might change it up tho....) when they do that. I love this game.

Or avoid all that and get killed when he pulls the sword out of the ground and it grazes your knee.

I beat Margit on my 4th try, maybe. I died right before he did, but my skeletal militia ash got the final blow. I saw an item drop flash by and I spent the next 20 minutes trying to find out what the fuck he dropped, as I couldn't find anything new in my inventory. I thought I got bugged due to the way he died. Finally had to look it up to see he added a new talisman slot. Sonofa...

I do that with talismans a lot...

I get a drop that sounds interesting. The fuck is that? Proceed to not find it for 10 minutes only to realize it was a talisman.

the thing that actually fucks me up on giants is when they slouch and their massive weapon is now a wall that prevents you fro mmoving. so i'll kind of start swinging on it and my brain is like "why not damage foot!!!"

I'd kill for them to have color coded backgrounds or some shit. lot of talismans look like boss souls or elixer items.

What is that icon with the red X? That's the one I've been getting and I'm not sure what it is.

And here's my HP a day later after focusing entirely on it with all the exp I got today / had stored. That's only 25ish levels, too. Hopefully now I stop getting one-shotted...

That's a "can't teleport out of here" icon. It's showing you you can't use that item they give you that teleports you out while taking all your souls.

A huge QOL improvement would be having a list of your entire inventory you could sort by 'most recent'. Ah well. From isn't known for their QOL, I guess.

Commander Niall can eat a big bag of D*cks - I don't know why I struggled with him so much but he has been easily the most annoying fight in the game for me. Down, finally but glad that's over. Onward to the tree lift

Luckily PC means we will have some truly batshit mods coming out for this game.

I swapped to PS5, but since I bought it on GMG for Steam, I couldn't return it, so now i have it on both...
