TheCzarsHussar Posted March 10, 2022 Share Posted March 10, 2022 So... Malenia. No salt incoming, the entire Souls community already has enough dislike for her one shot combo. I haven't reached phase 2 yet, but outside her combo that heals all her health back if you block, or kills you if she didnt do it far enough away to run away. I think she's a fair fight, her attacks are fast but dodgeable. Honestly, I want to beat her before she's nerfed I refuse to change builds to proc bleed, even though faith is the weakest of all builds against her.

TheCzarsHussar Posted March 10, 2022 Share Posted March 10, 2022 Update, beat her thirty minutes ago. Had a whole private conversation with Balrog to avoid spoilers where I bashed my face into the keyboard for three hours. It wasn't fun, I feel drained and tired. 10/10 on the difficulty scale, for all the wrong reasons Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Haven't been this into a game for awhile I finally finished Stormveil on my last session. That was an excellent dungeon. Also, the twinblade is really fun. I kept putting my sign down just so I could rekill Godrick with it in other people’s worlds. That thing is stylish. Godrick was also way easier than Margit, in my opinion. But a fun fight, nevertheless. I love his phase 2. * Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There's an NPC in Limgrave (You found him asking for help as he's being attacked by demi-humans and he gives a really cool side-quest) who mentions Godrick dressed in drag and fled with the woman-folk to escape one of his siblings, so yeah he's pretty pathetic But still scary. The Demigods have alot more character then past Souls villians. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheCzarsHussar Posted March 11, 2022 Share Posted March 11, 2022 YOOOOOOOOOOO, Elden Ring has the best dragon fight hands down, bar none. First tried his ass too! It's a shame I nearly missed this boss, right at the end of the game, I'm looking up to see if I missed any bosses and he was one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TheCzarsHussar Posted March 11, 2022 Share Posted March 11, 2022 Do not open Doc, end game spoiler. @BigBossBalrog Godfrey, the real version, was an absolute beast (hue). Went into the fight with the greatsword and got him to phase 2 first try, then got beat to death with his coke nail. Tried the greatsword about three more times and decided on a different strategy, good damage but I was only able to safely hit at the end of combos, so never got a stagger. Tried greatshield and light weapons, defensive but unable to pump the damage numbers up and was whittled down by phase 2 easily. Passivity isn't the way either, nowhere near stagger. The strategy that worked was what I'd call Aggressive Trading, went with the greatshield and a great lance weapon (forgot the name, it's the crucible knight one) but forced myself to be far less passive. Be constantly trading with pokes or r2s when able. The constant pressure, poise damage and good damage allowed for staggers and ripostes. I was rocking the super anti-physical damage talisman and heavy armor the whole time so his most damaging grab attacks didnt even do half my bar. Managed to get him with no heals left but by myself. He's a really solid boss, hits like a tank and is fast with his greataxe, but well telegraphed and surprisingly not at all punishing with his delays. I quickly learned never roll away from his combos early on. Gwyn wishes he was as chad as Godfrey 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Good Doctor Posted March 11, 2022 Share Posted March 11, 2022 The Two Fingers at the Roundtable Hold are creepy as sin. Also, in typical Fromsoft fashion, NPCs keep disappearing and I have no idea where to!!! I really hope I’m not screwing up any quests by progressing in the world. It’s really easy to miss stuff. 1 * Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The leader’s adopted daughter was another, but she said she was leaving so that’s no surprise. Patches is no longer in his emporium. It’s not a complaint. I expect that most of them will turn up later. I’m just curious which actions of mine triggered some of this stuff. * Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
