Been a while since I’ve felt this way about a game but I have no idea what to play next. Everything I try I can’t be bothered with because it doesn’t stack up at all to Elden Ring. Even games I was already in the middle of aren’t really interesting me.
@nessisonett If its the sense of exploration and discovery your jonesing for and you have gamepass, maybe try Tunic? I've played the first couple of hours and it seems like a chill companion to elden ring but still has cool sense of discovery.
@CJD87
I’ve then finally done the three npc enemy summons North of Deep Siofra well in front of giant pot man. Wasn’t easy. Got probably the best talisman in the game in my opinion (unless there s another same +2) vastly increases equip load 👍🏻
Currently doing Volcano manor.
The crowd, accepting this immediately, assumed the anti-Eurasian posters and banners everywhere were the result of acts of sabotage by agents of Goldstein and ripped them from the walls.
So I re-speced to be able to fully utilise the Moonlight great sword and managed to beat the 2 gargoyles as well as the boss in the bottom of the Divine Tower in Caelid (both with ash summons though to somewhat distract the bosses). It's quite clunky to use and slow, and I'm not used to such playstyle but think I'll stick with it instead of re-specing to a totally different build - I'll do a new build in a new save file at some point.
I’m using the DMGS too, it’s really strong. I have 70 int now and melee hits like a truck. The charged r2 is really nice from range, staggers well. Just don’t forget to get 40 vigor too.
Defeated Rennala last night. That was interesting. Especially when she started turning her 'children' into graves and throwing them at you. 😬 Didn't find it too difficult, a couple goes to get her into her phase 2 then first time on that one.
Not respecced yet as I've not got any of those tears yet or a weapon that I feel to do that for.
Life is more fun when you help people succeed, instead of wishing them to fail.
Better to remain silent and be thought a fool than to speak and remove all doubt.
@LN78 It’s a hard one but one of the best fights in the game. Only advice I can give is play it safe. Wait for the AOE attacks to finish, get a couple hits in and get out of there. Maybe try keeping your distance to bait out his easier to avoid attacks too.
Well I've had to look up a guide as it's clear there's something up with my npcs. I found my way to a tower at Caria Manor after beating a ghost knight and half beating a dragon that flew away and it was clear from the messages there should have been an npc at the top. I have no idea what I did but I atoned at the church of vows and afterwards voilà, they appeared. To my knowledge I haven't aggroed any npcs so God knows what happened. I'm just glad it's fixed! I'm thinking I might have to retrace my steps as god knows what I've missed!
@LN78 Smart move to put it down before it gets too frustrating. If it makes you feel any better, I was stuck on Radahn for a good couple of days - and it is/was genuinely the largest challenge I have had to overcome by a long shot.
Looking back, and certainly since I have now re-specced, my build wasn't helping me either... and when I actually managed to land hits on him, my damage was massively lacking!
Soon you will be able to reliably get to 2nd phase everytime, but this was what kept wrecking me...
One piece of advice - I actually think it is better to 'drag out' phase 1 so he can kill most of your NPC summons when he is approaching half-health. Then in his last stages of phase 1, I'd advise you try and re-summon all/most of the NPCs so that they return at full health for his return phase 2. A team of full-health NPCs at the start of phase 2 is great, as they can take the aggro and allow you to melt him!
(I only found out a few fights in that you can re-summon the NPCs! So just try to be strategic in when you bring them back, ideally just before phase 2) Good luck man!
@LN78 ah sorry mate, totally misread the boss name! Radagan sounds intense also, a friend of mine is currently banging his head against a wall regarding this boss.
Well, I took a day yesterday and battered Elden Ring. I'm now at the point where I've beaten every trophy boss and plenty you don't get trophies for. The only thing I have left to do is collect all of the things - the legendary arms etc. - and then finish the game and I got the platinum in this bad boy.
@CJD87 What, you can re-summons? I didn't know you could do that having tried before but it just didn't work for me so just assumed it wasn't possible. What's the trick?
@LN78@johncalmc Well done to you guys for getting to the end 👍
@render Yeh i re-summoned by accident, but it definitely was a trick that helped level the playing field!
A tip I wrote up earlier for another - "One piece of advice - I actually think it is better to 'drag out' phase 1 so he can kill most of your NPC summons when he is approaching half-health. Then in his last stages of phase 1, I'd advise you try and re-summon all/most of the NPCs so that they return at full health for his return phase 2.

@Gremio108 Ah yes, i did my first one of those the other day. There were a couple of necromancers who kept reanimating the skeletons, which I didn't realise at first. Took me a few goes of pummelling them to figure out what the fudge was going on. There were also two boss rooms, which I've never come across before.

@velio84 well I missed that one. It is a ‘changed’ location from when the player goes back and forth there to use the facilities and speak to the npc’s etc. Is that the case when accessing it from Stormveil too?
Seems like some inter-dimensional/time-displacement goings on here. 🤔
@colonelkilgore@velio84 I got access to it from Stormveil quite early on so sounds like you can access it from multiple locations then if you missed it the first time? Or is this actually a physical entrance?
Well, I'm nearly, nearly done. Just over a hundred hours played and I've got every trophy barring the ending ones and I'm at the last boss. I tried the last boss a couple of times last night and it did not take my attempts to murder it lightly so a bit of practice may be required on this one. Still, I should be done tonight, with the platinum to boot. What an experience this game has been. It truly has.
