Elden Ring - From Software + George RR Martin
- Thread starter jooka
- Start date
Beat Godfrey and taking my time farming talismans and upgrading before Margott, simply not looking forward to trying to beat Fire Giant essentially hitless. (I'm assuming most of his attacks will kill me, anyway)
I have the ritual sword and shield talismans, what others should I grab before taking Margott on? Found a lot of reddit posts but there's almost too many opinions / options and I'm not sure what to do.
Thinking jump attack increase paired with the defense raised at full health, but still undecided. Any suggestions?
Rocking dual curved swords with bleed / frost ash of wars.

Morgott down, pretty sloppy and I got lucky 2 times in the fight, but I think the talisman let me survive a single hit.
Not great but I'll take it!

This is cool, and neat to see all his moves. I beat him so fast I didn't see hardly any of those moves

I feel that way about all the bosses I one shot, which was a lot near the end. I was just dodging and swinging and didn’t learn any of their move sets. Trying to pay more attention on my current caster playthrough. I can stand back and watch them more with this build, even if I one shot them.

I haven't played in a bit, don't have access to my PS5, and honestly forgot:
Do Ash of Wars add special attacks to weapons? Or are they just the thing that transforms them into Keen / etc weapons for scaling/effects?
When I do a third playthrough with dual frost/blood weaps I'm gonna need to know this stuff to get the most out of it.

What are affinities? Are they the magic versions of ash of war?
That is my assumption since I am a strength build and don't know shit about magic/weapons in ER.
If you tell me affinities are vital to a strength build I will feel a bit dumb. But I will be happy to gain the knowledge.

The Great Runes are *shrug* seems they didn't want too make more ember/humanity problems(full heal effects etc)
And if all you're using is Boss weapons, you can't Ash of War them anyway they are locked as well as a lot of weapons in the game also.

Think the only one worth a shit is the Godrick one.
Also rarely used ashes of war until I did a Rivers of Blood build. That shits OP as fuck
After a couple months of slow late night filthy casual runs, I finally decided enough was enough and took down floppy Loch Ness Monster penis over the weekend. Kind of a shit fight as a pure melee, especially having to deal with half-naked blacksmith tranny after each failure (I may or may not have used a ping pong paddle to destroy a cardboard house that my daughter colored in following a particularly frustrating death). But, it's over now. I was really ready to be done with this and go back to normal sleep again, but I'm already about an hour into NG+ and looking forward to more. Fucking game, lol.

What ashes of war did you do with Rivers of Blood? I'll probably use that in the late game of my Samurai build.
Half-naked blacksmith tranny is one of the weirder things about the game for me. I'd rather if we'd just fought Marika but whatever.

It's fixed to corpse piler she can't be changed. You use the talismans that increase damage 20% when something bleeds, the varre mask that increases by another 10%, skill damage +10%, and less fp used on skills and you can just spam the weapon art on everything.
It even does decent damage to things that can't bleed. You'd want to switch up some talismans for that, but only time you'd really want to use sometime else is if they're strong/immune vs fire

Rivers ashes of war can't be changed, so he probably meant he rarely used weapon skills until he used rivers
