@Thrillho I felt the same annoyance with Rennala as when you get beaten you just want to get back into phase 2 as soon as possible. Well done for getting that far so quickly though.
@velio84 this video might be useful just for pointers in terms of strategy (or if you're like me your reaction might be "welp, guess I'm just bad at Elden Ring" )
@velio84 the worst part is I started on launch day and only finished my first playthrough of Elden Ring last night - whereas 3 WEEKS ago (the game hadn't even been out for a month by then), this guy was already steamrolling malenia at level 1 lol
Started NG+ at the beginning of the week and breezed through most of the starting content. Tbh most bosses fell like flies before my new respecced arcane/int/dex build armed with two rapiers (and the Dark Moonlight Sword). As was said before the lore makes much more sense now and I tried to trigger most of the interactions I missed on my first run, also found some new dungeons and stuff... Man I love this game =]
@johncalmc Honestly NG+ just isn’t balanced well at all. I’m armed with Radahn’s gear (both weapons and armor) and am just flying through the game to the point where its not fun. Even shardbearer bosses are trivial.
Side note, for Rykard - turns out that if you stand right next to him in his fire pit you don’t take much damage and almost all his attacks can’t hit you except the whirl in phase 1 and the stupid skulls in p2. I almost beat him without using the special weapon because he couldn’t hit me.

This is an easy way to defeat the villains in the game I was struggling for more than 3 hrs!
It's nice to have finally finished the game, can finally get up to speed with what the speedrunners are doing.
Just today the record speedrun has gone from 14mins 8 seconds this morning to 12 mins 32 seconds this afternoon!
And in all honesty the speedruns barely even spoil anything now, the only boss they even really fight is Maliketh - you'd have no idea at all what's actually going on in the game if you watch one
Have had a busy night - I'm now precisely one achievement (I'm playing on Steam, so they're not called trophies ) from the "all achievements" achievement (platinum sounds better). And that achievement is....
Margit the Fell Omen!!!
Obviously I beat him a while ago, but this has been a gaping hole in my achievements for a while. I managed to beat him when the servers were down so I had to play offline, and it turns out there was a bug at the time (with ER specifically I think) where if you earned a trophy offline it never synced in Steam
Beat Malenia on NG+, then switched to HFW and fought the snake boss in the first area and it’s not a fair comparison but just saying the difference in forgiveness is hilarious. I mean, sure the snake is basically a tutorial boss but ER’s tutorial boss kills you
As for me, after beating Rannala I went and started exploring Caelid.
There are some pretty tough standard enemies in that area! I slowly edged my way round and took a few goes to take down the dragon mini boss in the south of that area. Wandered around the swamp and ended up giving up on the mini boss in that region.
Then off to Redmane Castle which was fairly tough but took down the duo boss with a summon (which made it quite easy to take on the big knight fella). Kind of disappointing that there wasn't much else there though after all of that.
So then back to Caelid and met Gowry en route to Selia. Back to the swamp and cheesed the mini boss with poison arrows. Cleared Selia no problem and have been exploring around the area for the moment.
