Yeah, right now I'm using 1 Serpent God's (just beat Magma Wyrm Makar) and 1 Scimtar, with plans to transition over to Eleonora's Twinblade. I really fucking hate the whole "jump" meta, so I don't plan on going with Beastman's at all. I only ever use jump attack on shieldy boiz. I'll probably transition over to Rivers of Blood after Eleonora's, but still undecided on that as I really like the moveset of Twinblades.

Curved swords do a running powerstance quad attack if you'd prefer that over jump attack

They're just too short-range for me. I do often start with running powerattack though. Hell, I'm even considering just going back to my Nagakiba with double slash, just because I like the longer range weapons. That's why I'm so stoked for the light greatswords. I like a lot of greatswords, but the shorter slashing range on a lot of them sucks. I like "lunging" style weapons, shit that keeps you "safe" with a backdash like Bloodhound Fang, or even shit with good poke damage. Bolt of Gransax is another weapon that interests me for that reason.

Luernia zone is just a masterpiece in level design. The center piece academy, viewed from multiple angles around the zone. Just so many things amazing points of interest, and at the center this magnificent academy and crazy ass tree in the background.

Well funny story. I basically had a fresh NG4. However I guess I did a few things after a few beers last time I played like a year or more ago and killed Varré.
Oops. So. I basically had to run through 60% of the game to get to Mohg. Just entered the forbidden lands now and have to do a couple things here and find the secret portal.On the bright side, I learned how to play again
Now I have to put together the medal, get to consecrated and find the secret portal to Mohg.

If you only killed morgott and didn't do much underground stuff you're only about 1/3 through. But it's easy to rush bosses and cherry pick dungeons for talismans at that point. Everything is open after you kill morgott. You can rush fire giant, malenia, mohg, whatever you feel comfortable doing.

Whew. All set! What was supposed to take about 25 minutes took 5 hours. Ended up having to get to Mohg the hardway on NG4. Which was new so all good and had fun anyway. But had to go kill Godrick, Godfrey, Morgott, Commander Niall, Starscourge and run to get the medallion piece to get to consecrated where a portal was to get to Mohg.
Good to be all set for the DLC and learned all the mechanics again

Parked at the cocoon with twin magma blades I spent too much time farming, which means most enemies in the dlc will, of course, be immune or highly resistant to fire

OK so as expected , my new toon will not be ready for tomorrow. My old toon , which I checked and is level 294 , has an achievement for killing 'shardbearer Mohg' , is that who needed to die to play the DLC? I cannot seem to find a straight answer anywhere.

Yes. The entrance will be in his boss room, and that palace area is in the underground in the southeast section.

No idea about Linux, I had stutters on my old PC (AMD3950X w/ 3080ti) but not this one (AMD7800X3D w/ 7900 XTX) not sure if it's a PC fix or if it's the 3D memory on the CPU or the alignment of the planets.

The steam discussion section for Elden Ring has performance guides for both AMD and Nvidia.
For only NVIDIA cards.
Open the Nvidia Control Panel again. Open ''Manage 3D settings'' under ''3D Settings'' and then choose ''Global Settings'' tab and scroll down. There is an option named ''Shader Cache Size'' default version is ''Driver Default'' change that to Unlimited size and click Apply right corner down of panel. Then restart your PC. It should fix it.
Praise the Sun!

You can in fact run this game on Linux. I've heard good things for performance but I never looked into why that is.

True Vulkan Support is fucking awesome, DX still has its place but man lately MS has just dropped the ball on it..

Two years of rust is no joke. I forgot what a pain in the ass Mohg's second phase is. Anyway, got him on the third try, then sprinted through Caelid and beat down the good general in like 15 seconds. All set for a few weeks of late nights spent yelling at the TV and struggling my way through crippling exhaustion at work.

Took me 3 times also. For 3rd try, I realized I had my farming spec going. Switched to regular god killing goodies and flattened him pretty quickly. Muscle memory is back and feel like old psychotic self.

Mohg and Starscorge Radahn. But. Be careful you didn’t start a new game plus and didn’t really do anything. If you did, you’ll have to kill those two to get to the DLC.
