Elden Ring Friendship Circle

Yeah going with the light roll and no block ability, three hits basically meant I’m dead. Def got tilted for 10-12 tries there and was off on timing or went greedy for extra hits.

I got him stuck in a loop chasing him on my horse where he would just run in a circle away from me and I could cut him off slightly and get a hit in.

It was kinda like the method in Sekiro of chasing the raging bull’s tail.

He might have been the first boss I got on the first try. He was really easy with Barricade on my shield and then counterattacking.

He gave me problems too until I remembered to use my summons and killed him in a handful of attempts. I have a similar build where I’m basically dead in 1-3 hits depending on the attack.

Anyone using sword of night and fire? Considering respeccing enough faith to go with that instead of moonveil.

The map zoomed out again, 80+ hours in, when I found the 6th boss yesterday. And then I found the 7th boss today! Wild.

This is spoilerish, but it makes me think we may have just picked the wrong dragon spell to try out:

Gotta say, my last open world playthrough was Witcher 3 on easy because I just wanted to fuck shit up and do the story again. This has been, uh, different.

Well, seems like I’m behind most people here in terms of progress and hours played (and general skill), but I did beat Godrick on my second attempt, so, thanks black flame! Onward!

The dude in Stormveil Castle that basically looks like an Octopus with 8 swords seems really tough for a build with no shield.

Oof, Miriam is annoying af.

lol I had to put a pin in that one and finish off later, so rough.

I got pretty close by charging in like D-Day, but if one shot hits you’re toast.

Miriam seems like an optional boss. I went off the main path to find her.

Bishop turtle is the best character ever.

Do your responses in dialogue ever matter? It always seems so obvious what the right answer is, but say I had said I didn’t want the spirit horse, would I just not have gotten it?

They def matter in many spots but uh probably not that one.

Lol maxxed Moonveil, just ridiculous. I ~5 hit, 2x stunned R*****la and she lasted 10 seconds if that. In new game+.

lol, I’ve never seen a game that relentlessly trolls its players this hard.

This game doesn’t stop blowing my mind. The exploration and shit you randomly find is amazing.
