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

Talking about bullshit, what I really found too much were some invisible backstabbing assassins in Ordina.
Holy. Fuck. They even blink-tp constantly, making reading their footprints in the snow barely useful.

Fuck these guys.

Also what's up with these planar jails ? Any explanation on that ? I don't seem to have any item related to this.

I don't want to spoil it, but if you played any FromSoft games for a while you should know whenever you see something like that it means there's a way to counter it. Just saying.

Just downed the fire giant. I assume I'm very close to the end now.

Well... When I beat Godrick, I thought I was done with like a third of the game lol. Everything was pointing to it being done after reaching the tree. Souls games had similar developments after all.

That's one of the things about Elden Ring. It's like one of those late night infomercial guys.

Me: Wow, what an epic journey. That was awesome. Now to enjoy my final reward.

FromSoft: But wait! There's more!

Me: ... What the hell?

The more is just Cancertown!

Depending on what you mean, that's my favourite area...

It's the one with the obnoxious terrain. And that annoying dude that hits like a truck.

Yeah, that one.

On a scale from "very close to the end" to "you just reached Drangleic Castle and the true game starts here", where do I stand then ?

At about "Hope you enjoyed the tutorial"

This kind of depends on how much of a completionist you want to be. But reasonably close, just maybe not anywhere near as close as you might expect.

IF a new DLC comes, any chance that we will get to explore the moons? I wanna learn more about it and recently, finished the main history. With about 60 hours of playtime and lv 139.

This is kind of out of left field. Why would you think we'd get to explore the moons?

Because they're there.

 

[Cat Headed Eagle]

INB4 "painting world, part... which one is it this time?"

 

[Cryomancer]

Why would you think we'd get to explore the moons?

I don't think so but wish that we could do that. Moons where extremely important in the lore being many sorceries and Ranni's ending, moons are also linked with Outer Gods.

Yeah, I got the impression that, like in Bloodborne, that the moons might actually be the Outer Gods as they're all cosmological beings. I think that's why the stars stopped out of fear of Radahn and why you can encounter things at the sites of fallen stars.

 

[Cryomancer]

I honestly don't know if moons are Outer deities or not.

edit : Looked in the wiki

There is no text referring to either moon as a god nor an Outer God, so it remains speculative as to whether or not they are.

Anyway, I was watching some old videos and are this things still that great? I only used Comet Azur, against elden beast, the final boss, I could only take about a third of his hp with the scepter +10 at 80 int and the 10 second unlimited fp potion.



And the hammer build? IMO STR/FHT builds are always the strongest PvE wise in demon/dark souls and in elden ring. This guy is literally OHKilling every single boss with his big hammer. Only curiosity, I don't plan to do a STR/FHT run. I have my Moonlight Dark Moon Greatsword and my Adula's Moonblade to kill enemies at melee. No need for big hammers.

Honestly, worrying too much about Souls lore is like worrying whether Galactus could devour the Death Star or if it would explode him, assuming the Emperor and Darth Vader are on board. Elden Ring spells things out a lot more than other Souls titles, but it's the same thing.

Everyone expects a DLC, but they haven't made any announcements and if there wasn't one, I don't think anyone would argue ER is an incomplete experience or too short. It's mostly a question of if they have one, where do you access it - do you gate it to people who are sitting on 100+ hour saves? Most likely candidate for exploration is probably whatever's going on with Miquella. Where that takes place, who knows, but it could be another Painted World situation as Cat Headed Eagle was mentioning, probably entered at the Blood Palace egg.

I will not eat the bugs. I will not live in a pod. I will not use 2FA.

They lying to you. If you've been diligent you should only have one area and a "boss rush" left.

Assuming he already beat Malenia AND Mohg, the "boss rush" that's left consists of Godskin Duo, Maliketh, Dragonlord Placidusax, Sir Gideon Ofnir, Hoarah Loux, Radagon, and the Elden Beast. That's almost the number of mandatory bosses you fight in the entirety of DS1. If he hasn't already beaten the first two and we ignore "joke" bosses like Pinwheel (I'm sorry Porky), Ceaseless Discharge and Bed of Chaos, then we can drop the "almost".
