Elden Ring (George RR Martin and From Software)

Not to mention many of the characters have two names. Godfrey is also known as Hoarah Loux (but seemingly not related to Nepheli Loux, they're just part of the same tribe/clan, and Nepheli's adoptive father is Gideon). Ranni calls herself Renna at the start as if she's trying to hide the fact she's Ranni even though we don't even know who Ranni is by that point anyway, but also not to be confused with her mother, Rennala. Marika was married to Radagon and they had kids, even though you then learn that Marika is Radagon. Margit is just some sort of apparition or summon of Morgott.

Basically, Marika's family tree is squiggle.

Marika was married to Godfrey (Hoarah Loux) and had Morgott, Mohg and Godwyn. Godwyn's son is Godrick (and possibly also Godefroy who is found in one of the Evergaols, but he's only referred to as 'kin' to them, but that fight is pretty much the first phase of the Godrick fight again with more damage).

Radagon was married to Rennala and had Ranni, Radahn and Rykard.

Marika and Radagon then left their spouses and married each other, and had Malenia and Miquella (possibly also Melina and Messmer (from the DLC), but both of those are unconfirmed). Malenia also had Millicent and her four sisters. But also Marika and Radagon are the same person.

(Kinda Funny did an Elden Ring podcast recently and went through a lot of this).

But yeah, I was wondering about why Radahn would need to be beat for the DLC too. I guess it's more for story reasons, that you need to have reached that for parts of the story in the DLC to make sense even though you can get to Mohg without beating Radahn.

Oh, you're struggling to keep up with the story? Pfft…. git gud, scrub!

Haha... i gotta admit, i kind of wouldn't mind that 😂

You'll probably still find it hard and then some gowl on youtube at level 1 in his jocks will speed run the dlc taking no hits on day 1 😫

I watched one the other day where a guy did it in 40 minutes i think while picking up some handy items. Not ideal though as you are going in at a low level.

New patch on June 20th to prepare for dlc and add 'balancing. New features like inventory improvement, details below.

Very annoying that twitter posts can't be linked anymore.

Edit: thanks Retro

Oh my god i can't believe that works, he's such a tool.

Right I am all set. Defeated Mohg. I completely forgot about mimic. Made it a bit easy but I just want access to DLC so that’s all that matters

Just to check, have you beaten Radahn too? For some reason you need to have beaten both Mohg and Radahn to access the DLC.

If so fair play, you tore through that quick enough!

I was actually gonna trade in a remembrance for the blasphemous blade yesterday but I'm not a fan of great swords. Saying that, i'm currently using a great spear which i don't like using either and wonder if it's been a bit pointless one handing it as i use a shield as well. Tried going back to my rivers of blood katana but the spear is so much more powerful.

Edit: actually scratch that, gonna just wait to see what the dlc brings in terms of new weapons before upgrading a weapon from the base game to +10.

Review embargo is up, starting to see reviews pop up. Needless to say, getting full marks.
