The couch is wrong why is the couch wrong
I'm at 90 hours level 176
I got 149 hours haven’t beat the final boss yet. Elden a ring is an absolute masterpiece.
Elden Ring is out NOW?!? Why is no one else talking about it?
146th!
Not gonna watch this on the off chance I actually do play Elden Ring, but whoa, does this mean Andy finally played, finished and LIKED a FromSoft game?!
I feel tiny. 70 hours and leveled in the 60s using +12 weapons. Yet I'm at Volcano Manor and still just pushing adamantly further.
Between the enemies you can cheese and everything else
I got 120 hours and level 199 still finding new stuff I love this game
As usual for the Fromsoft games, the Gods of the world are definitively NOT good guys. But their greatest enemies might be even worse. So the answer is to betray them all. Betray the Greater Will, then betray the evil gods who want to destroy the Will as well. However, this path will require you to fight the most bullshit bastard hard boss in the game….
They're not spoilers when literally every content creator is playing/talking about this game…. I haven't played a single second of it but I can tell you exactly how everything is done based on the non-stop flood of Elden Ring. I don't think I've ever been more sick of something I've never tried since I told my mom I wasn't eating those fucking boiled brussels sprouts
Level 125, 108 hours in, Dex/Int build. Red-haired female rocking Blaidd's (wolf man's) armor with a blood red hood. Moonveil+10 right hand, Uchigatana+22 in left. Going for a Gothic Red Riding Hood, worshiping the moon, gappaling through a dark fairy tale world. Starting to deal with endgame decisions and quest lines. Loving this game.
The underground was what Blackreach (Skyrim) should have been.
I was not a souls fan at all. Did not play any of the souks game but did give Sekiro a real try as I lovecthe mechanics but Lady Butterfly ended me. Elden ring is the one ring to rule them all.
I finally got the platinum for Elden Ring yesterday, my first plat trophy ever
I can't beat the fire giant.
I'm 51 hours in and I'm just now feeling like I'm coming to grips with Limgrave & Liurnia. Lol
I've been waiting for this
2:15 – A gazebo? Probably a good idea to fire an arrow at it.
Elden Ring is full of good moments. From the appereance of an old friend to the npcs and their stories (with Ranni being my personal favourite) to the bosses both story and optional. The fight against Radhan for example is a spectacle like no other. And finaly the new weapon class, the flail, which is just plain fun with the Nightrider Flail being my first weapon to +25.
The Sellia Crystal Tunnels teleport was literally one of the first things that happened to me!
All I had seen so far in the game was lovely green Limgrave and suddenly I had to make a panicked escape past a bunch of horrible bug men and then reaching the mine entrance and walking out into Caelid and the sky is bright red and the world is horrible and I’m clearly in hell. Literally some of the best most unexpected horror I’ve ever experienced in a game
I found that river, and then was just repeating "how deep does this thing go???"
In Luke's defence he did spend 20 of those hours dancing with the creepy long armed ladies of the windmill village.
Encountered some singing in the weeping peninsula (I think). Followed it to a strange figure, surrounded by some bats. Killed the bats from a distance and approached the figure, thinking it was an NPC. Bastard man-bat, got up and killed me before I could react properly. My reaction? "Who was going to tell me that there were actual functioning sirens in this game?!"
My game remains unpatched, your move Fromsoft!
130 hours, beat the last boss and Melania 😎. Time to clear a few catacombs and Journey 2!
If you pay attention to the area around Blaidd and Iji after their deaths, there are black knife assassins' that have been killed around them. i believe Ranni possibly had them killed, because i think she is in charge of them?
This was great chat. I find it interesting how you both perceived the Ranni questline, and how Andy missed snippets of the story but the game just persisted anyway. I've been pretty doggedly doing all the NPC stuff so I've mostly been using guides, and it's interesting to see how it works for others.
I usually don't like spoilers but I'm watching this as the game gets installed on my ps5. maybe I'll start tonight or tomorrow
We have got to talk about tiny horse
I was actually trying to work out where to go for the 2 halves of the seals when I realised I had actually passed it. I even carried on thinking that obviously this was just a subsection and I needed to see the rest of the area
127hrs in. Lvl 401 journey 4
As someone who spent the first 60 hours of my 70 hour file (the one where I’ve beat the game) refusing to use summons- yeah, I agree, I wasted a lot of time and should’ve used all the tools at my disposal.
That said… there are some bosses I wanna fight without them, because I want to see if I COULD win now (mainly the 5 or 6 I let the mimic beat for me) but that’s just to see how good I am after watching some youtubers who first try every damn boss, the legends.
I think George R.R. Martin might be behind all of the similar names
I watched an interview with him explaining how he came up with names for his characters in GoT and he explained that he was resistant to a common writing tip that is to make all your characters names different because the reader will muddle them up in their head.
He said he didn’t like this tip because that’s not how real history works and that often real family lines and lineages will have similar sounding names that mean different things and come in and out of popularity
So that’s probably why Elden Ring has so many Mor’s and and Ren’s and Mik’s
Okay but like I need yall to talk about Melenia after you've both gotten through that point.
I loved this so much!! This is my first fromsoft game I've played as it came out, and it's so great to hear oxboxtra's reactions! I wanted to share some of my fave moments, spoilers obviously:
– Every encounter with Margit/Morgott, but especially the one in the battlefield!! I was totally surprised by the Morgott reveal too, even though their names are, like, similar. I guess he was saying Margit before cuz he was trying to keep it secret? I think he ended up being my favorite demigod anyway, he just felt like an old friend!
– Going back to Limgrave to find the giant crater entrance to Nokron! All the underground stuff is nuts, but coming back to see the first area transformed so dramatically was jaw-dropping.
– Sneaking around Leyndell! This is a weird one, but Leyndell was the bit in the game where the stealth clicked for me, popping out onto the terrifying, heavily patrolled golden streets just to nab some loot and then slipping away into the sewers. It felt awesome, and Leyndell is spectacular.
– Getting taken to Volcano Manor by Rya! Rya's questline is one of my favorites in the game (and you can get a happy ending for it, PSA!), but the best moment was meeting Rya at the top of the lift and teleporting into this incredible goth manor, only to find out that the game is now the dark brotherhood questline! Going off on assassination missions to get to the boss was such a twist, and going through those hidden tunnels to get to the actual area was also such a twist!
I've gone on long enough, but thanks for giving me a spot to ramble on, and thanks as ever for convincing me to try these games!
There is a benefit of not playing the game yet. I have no context for what they are talking about.
Spoilers for the game but here’s what happened with Blaidd (because I was also confused):
Turns out he was granted to Ranni by the two fingers as a sort of protector. However he was also – unbeknownst to them – serving as a watch dog for the two fingers. So if Ranni did anything against them he’d turn on her. Because Ranni is, at this point, actively working against the fingers to bring in her own age, Blaidd was on the verge of snapping. Iji knew about his condition and confined him but he either breaks out or you free him, causing him to turn. That’s why he sounds so miserable before he goes feral. He is actively trying to work against his “programming” but fails.
It’s a very sad end to a very good character.
I'm at about 63 hours and I just beat the gargoyles… I definitely wouldn't have beaten them without my mimic tear, I hate those damn poison attacks.
I usually make a balanced character, so I can use everything for the most part but, I've been sticking to my Butcher Knife.
I absolutely agree that you should use everything the game gives you, including the ashes to summon a distraction.
I'm at about level 85 and I just beat Radahn like 5 levels before.
Sounds a lot like Dragons Dogma, if you don't constantly backtrack and talk to all the NPCs every time you complete a major plot point you miss out on most of the side quests and world-building. Playing straight through you can finish it in about 10 hours, but if you do go back and do side quests there are easily 40+ hours of game there.
