From Software Elden Ring - From Software's new game with writing by GRRM

[SumDrunkGuy]

Soul of cinder still the best boss From ever created.

The name didn't sound familiar so I had to look it up. Of course it's a Dark Souls 3 boss. Nothing about that game was memorable, LMAO. I can't recall hardly anything from that game.

Actually I do remember the part that was copy/pasted from Bloodborne. It was memorable only because, well, it was literally just re-used Bloodborne. They should have called it Dark Souls 3: Lord of Copy Pasta.

IIRC Raya Lucaria has a bunch of [3] and [4] stones, no?

Yeah but i used all i had to upgrade my Claymore and my Morning Star which was my strike weapon of choice. Both of them are at +10, which is equivalent to a somber upgrade +4 (as i understanding it somber stones count as 2.5 of regular ones so 4 times 2.5 is exactly 10, which means i'm even as far as internet matchmaking is concerned).

I tried all the farming spots suggested in the wiki page and the drop rate is abysmal in all of them, where as [4] stones drop everywhere and i have like 40 of them.

After two hours of farming, i finally managed to get one of the curved swords to +10, but the other one is sitting at +6 and i don't have the will do farm materials for that right now.

Just make sure you don't waste any like I did (don't try upgrading tons of weapons before testing) and they should mostly come naturally without heavy grinding.

Because I live rent free in your tiny head.

You only live in MY tiny head you stupid fuck. Don't pretend anyone else gives a shit about your vapid, aggressively trite opinions except for someone as pathologically robbed of inhibition and discipline as I. And so far and unto forever, only I.

No one else is going to write you psychotic post-modern short stories with a meta-narrative that reference an argument we had five fucking years ago whenever you bring up a tangential topic. You don't even remember or understand the catalyst for this obsession because while for me our initial argument in the summer of 2017 was an apocalyptic exposure to a one-of-a-kind moronic smugness, for you it was just a Friday night. The fact that the big fat idiocy you idly shit into the world happened to land in this sufficiently soft and grooved brain of mine as to create a you-shaped decline is in no way a testament to the momentous weight of your opinions but is rather a mark of chancy shame upon the both of us, you insufferable head-up-your-ass cretin.

I pay 48 people on Fiverr - yes that's one covering every major time zone and, since Covid, a substitute for each in case someone gets sick - to send me an email, a text message, and a fax every time you make a post on this forum related to such things as "power attacks," "game modification," "action RPGs," and "Porky's original thoughts - God save us all," to name a few. It was only per the advice and assistance of the medical and psychiatric staff working out of my previous place of residence that for the past few years I have had the self-control to ignore the awfully retarded nonsense you write, coping instead by grinding the print-outs of your posts into a fine dust and snorting them. Through my urethra.

If anyone else whosoever actually gave a damn about your worthless existence, it could plausibly inspire some positive change in the world and therefore stop being worthless, thus giving someone as strangely preoccupied with pointless self-harm as I no reason to continue engaging with you. And yet here I am, so evidently I am the only one after all. Hineni, you dumb devil. Consider the following:

-If your posts had the same manic effect on George R. R. Martin's creative writing output as on mine, he would have, like, a fifth of the Winds of Winter done already.

-If your posts had the same masochistic effect on the sexual proclivities of Russian troops as on mine, the war in Ukraine would surely have ended already as they would all desert to check themselves into the nearest intact emergency room to treat the self-inflicted damage to their urinary tract.

-If your posts retroactively had the same devastating effect on the will-to-live of historical astronauts as on mine, they would have all found ways to turn their ships, vessels, and stations towards the Earth, their blazing suicides raining upon our wretched heads as fiery stars of fell crimson, perhaps granting sweet oblivion to I who is cursed to yet live.

Never again pretend that anyone else gives as much as a single cock-choked queef about you or the cancerous womb of your mind that spawns the still-born scum you mistake for thoughts.

You know nothing, you are nothing, you are no one and mean nothing to anyone except me. And what you mean to me is seething hatred, and all I know of you I despise.

Though never as much as I despise myself for bearing the misfortune of knowing you.

Do you need to summon NPC (for example alexander) for their quest to progress?

 

[cvv]

Do you need to summon NPC (for example alexander) for their quest to progress?

I don't think there's a single instance of that in ER.

Probably for the best. Sometimes it was a pain to keep them alive, plus I don't wanna fight bosses in coop if it's not absolutely necessary.

 

[NJClaw]

Do you need to summon NPC (for example alexander) for their quest to progress?

Generally, no. However, summoning them might give you extra dialogue or rewards (it's still very rare though, I only know of a single instance during the Nepheli Loux quest). And even with her, you don't need to summon her for the boss fight: you can just summon and immediately dismiss her and you will still get the Arsenal Charm.

The [3] stone is the worst one. The [4] stone is actually far easier to farm.

Listen here shitsticker.

I have had it up to here with your bullshit. Either don't play the game or play the game. No one wants to hear you whine like a reclusive paedophile screaming about hetero-normative gay complexes. If Finland was a part of NATO, George Martin would have a heart attack and collapse into a black hole. Your face on my arse m8!

[PorkyThePaladin]

Don't overthink it Porky, I just like (probably too much) to quote the Pinwheel post whenever I can because it's amusing. I marked you as my mortal enemy the moment I saw you didn't like Icewind Dale, but I'm not powerful enough to do anything about it.

Yes, I know, it's just like with Zed Doink of Banville, I told him Gene Wolfe is not fun to read, despite whatever deep constructs he has in his novels, and Morrowind is a bad game, and he has been in need of butt ointment ever since.

And guess what, my little friend, Icewind Dale IS a terrible game, in fact it's more of a combat demo than a real RPG. Hours of pointless trudging through linear corridors, barely any story or exploration to be had.

I'm repeating this only because I don't want legit opinions to disappear under the pile of shitposting: my crusade isn't against people who say the endgame bosses are hard, but against those who are convinced they are impossible and unreasonably unfair. I already stated multiple times that Malenia is soul-crushingly hard, I'm not deranged enough to think the contrary. But then people come up saying she is impossible and her moves are unavoidable, when there are at least 4 separate categories of tools to deal with it (greatshields, dodge-like ashes of war, status effects, stagger through damage). Sure, the attack is humanly impossible to avoid by just pressing circle without centuries of training, but how is it possible that people complain that these games are getting roll-spam simulators and then get mad when an attack can't be avoided by roll spamming?

Nice strawman there, friendo. No one said the bosses are impossible, and unreasonably unfair is a very subjective term.

What I've been saying is that FS has been steadily moving away from catering to RPG players toward the Twitch streams/e-sports/fighting games twitch reflex crowd. From Demons Souls/Dark Souls days, where the combat is mostly about understanding game mechanics and enemy patterns, which anyone can do, to Sekiro/Elden Ring/Dark Souls 3, where the combat is much more about player reflexes.

Of course someone like you can give examples where the bosses can be beaten with minimal reflexes, but most of those are uncool borderline cheating ways, like summons, using some OP weapon/art, effect cheese, etc.

I get what you're saying, but then you felt the need to say this:

Post a video of fighting some tough boss with some identifying info. Never saw you do that in any FS game. My guess is that's because you cheese the fights. No one who brags so much about how easy stuff is could actually have any skill, my see-through friend.

And hurt my gamer feelings.

I'm uploading the footage of the last few bosses of my current playthrough, I'll post them as soon as they're ready. I'm playing a Dex/Arcane build that deals incredible amounts of burst damage, so I guess you could consider that cheating. Just tell me what tools I'm allowed to use, and I'll post a full playthrough. I wanted to try an Int or Faith build next, but that's probably out of the question. What weapons can I use? What stats am I allowed to raise? Can I use a greatsword and a shield? Just tell me.
