BigBossBalrog Posted March 2, 2022 Author Share Posted March 2, 2022 The lore is so fucking cool, and alot of it's original and represented in the game even too! Alot of it's own world building, but there's so much cool shit from Norse Mythology I wish I could talk about, but spoilers Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TheCzarsHussar Posted March 2, 2022 Share Posted March 2, 2022 For the first time, I actually made use of the spirit summons. Margit was kicking my ass, I didn't have the stamina to tank his phase 2 combos as good so I decided to experiment with the jellyfish spirit and got him that attempt. I hate dying to him, but Margit is a damn good teacher. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I hate dying to him, but Margit is a damn good teacher. I haven’t reached Margit on my playthrough yet but I fought him on my friend’s just for fun before I got the game myself. His moves weren’t very hard to learn but they were fairly tough to deal with even knowing them. Granted, I was super rusty and haven’t played any Soulsborne in over a year. But still, fun boss. I am pretty sure I found an item in my exploration that is meant to be used during his fight. It doesn’t seem to do anything right now, but based on the item description, I suspect it’s like the Father G’s music box in Bloodborne. 2 * Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's the holy trinity of good tough boss design, delayed heavy roll catch attacks, lightning fast attacks and chip damage that makes him tough. Even knowing not to panic roll, the threat of getting caught in a combo got me roll caught before I relearned the timings Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Screws with my timing something fierce. 1 * Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BigBossBalrog Posted March 2, 2022 Author Share Posted March 2, 2022 This topic has been become so fucking pushed out, it's not even that I fundamentally venomously oppose it (Which I hundred percent do), I just think it's so fucking boring https://www.gamespot.com/articles/elden-ring-director-hidetaka-miyazaki-comments-on-game-difficulty/1100-6501104/ Hidetaka says, for the very last time, the game he directs will never have an easy mode, and that it's a core part of FROM identity to exclude it. Considering the fact they haven't made a game with one for a decade, and there games still sell gangbusters, I don't think they ever will (which is good) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BigBossBalrog Posted March 2, 2022 Author Share Posted March 2, 2022 So apparently there's six very large secret areas in the game (and i've only found four so far)! What's crazy is they have there own enemies, NPC's, quests, and special boss battles, which is insane! So make sure you guys explore every inch, cause there hard to find Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TheCzarsHussar Posted March 3, 2022 Share Posted March 3, 2022 Dang I was so close! Survived his one shot attack, and got him probably one to two more hits until a bleed and he caught me with an aoe slam. I'll get him this attempt! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
