They’re good fights, and I like the variation in dragon types, but they don’t change that much. At least not the world boss ones. Dragons are kinda pussies in Elden Ring, there's like three or four of them that attack you, then teleports away when the player starts beating their ass.

The final version is really unique, so I hope you look forward to fighting him He in a end-game area. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It’s a shame he’s so early on, but I guess it makes sense as he basically treats you like a foolish upstart… which you are at that point. Just the way he so dryly tells you "lay these foolish ambitions to rest" after beating you down with a cane, like he’s just moderately annoyed that you damn lowly tarnished just keep coming back and he’s gotten tired of killing you. He even almost sounds like he thinks it’s for your own good. 1 * Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TheCzarsHussar Posted April 6, 2022 Share Posted April 6, 2022 He only takes things a bit more serious when you finally lay the beat down, not that it seems to phase him much. Swearing to kick your teeth in later. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TheCzarsHussar Posted April 6, 2022 Share Posted April 6, 2022 Also Doc, trust me on this one, before exploring the sewers of the capital, do fight the boss of the area that Varre's item takes you. Because there's a reused boss and it'd be a huge disappointment to fight the copied boss before the real deal. Thankfully there's no time limit, or quest breaking thing that involves the sewers.

The Good Doctor Posted April 6, 2022 Share Posted April 6, 2022 Super unlikely prediction Milicent is Malenia. I found a one-armed redhead in Caelid, badly wounded and with addled memories, and a weirdo sorcerer rot cultist invested in saving her. I save her. I get her a new metal arm. Now she is surprised to find that she is a great warrior. Eventually she will recover her memories in full and the boss fight will commence. Malenia is apparently an optional boss. That is because you must complete a side quest to unlock her. 1 * Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Good Doctor Posted April 6, 2022 Share Posted April 6, 2022 They did the "mystery identity" thing with Lapp/Patches and Ranni. And they did the "friendly NPC becomes a super boss" thing with Gael. Yep. Calling it now. This is happening. * Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Good Doctor Posted April 6, 2022 Share Posted April 6, 2022 Speaking of Millicent, something that gets to me in all Fromsoft games is the issue of having cool NPC summons who I just love the idea of fighting alongside weighed against fights being way more fun and feeling much more rewarding to complete solo. Like, I really want to say I fought alongside Gael at some point, but who the hell is going to pass up fighting Friede solo? Same goes for Radahn, where it seems like using the army would’ve just been so cool as an event. I bring it up because Milicent was the one time I did summon, against the Windmill GS Apostle, since I’d already fought him solo in Caelid. It was way easier with her. * Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's why I do a playthrough with no summons, and then another were I can use as many I want I think that's why the whole end of Siegmeyer quest in Dark Souls 3 ("May the sun shine upon this Lord of cinder...) was so memorable Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
