Elden Ring (George RR Martin and From Software)

I think they have patched the bird to stop that farm but you can still genocide the albunurics

FYI, the new menu tab to see recent items has to be enabled in the settings.

Yeah the albunurics is the best farm but you would need the sacred relic sword to take them all out in a few seconds. I found them quite dangerous without that

I have used that previously to farm but doesn't work with my current build and can't be bothered respeccing, so have taken the chance just killing them one by one. Once you see the red lads getting aggro you can taken them out, but other than that the others don't move unless they're hit. But even if the red lads kill you, very easy to get your runes back anyway. Did a bit of farming recently to stock up on smithing stones to try out some of the new weapons.

Sacred relic sword is hilarious for just wiping them all out though.

You'll still have to beat Mohg to get access to the DLC. You can get to his area by working on Varre's questline, the item you get during it will transport you there. You might be a little underlevelled, but Mohg's area is a pretty good farming spot so you could probably jump a few levels fairly quickly. Varre should be at a church just west of one of the sites of grace in the middle of Liurnia lake. You might want to look up online what to do for his quest.

The item you get from Varre drops you kind of in the middle of Mohg's area, so I'd suggest looking at a map of the area online to find where the site of grace "Palace Ledge Approach Road" or something is, and just jump on Torrent and make a beeline for it. Once you have it, the Albunarics there are pretty easy to take down, net you about 40-50k runes each time, then reset at the site of grace and farm them again. Just watch out for the red lads.

I'd say once you're level 125-130, work your way through the whole Mohg area and then take on his boss fight. If you can beat it, you should be good to go for the DLC.

You on the PS5? You can see if you have downloaded the DLC in your recent downloads. About a 15GB file. If you have auto download on, it would have downloaded yesterday

I thought that about Varre's quest too, but turns out there's another way of doing it that they patched in later. There's an NPC (Magnus the Beast Claw) in Altus Plateau you can invade and fight instead of having to invade other players worlds.

For anyone else standing at the cocoon like an eejit with nothing happening, restarting the game want enough, had to restart the ps5, loaded up and a new npc is by the cocoon. Ava away we go!

Man, some of these ghost enemies pack an almighty punch. Definitely feeling the nerf in katana poise effect. Had to nope out of an area already and go wandering somewhere else. Absolutely incredible level design and art as always. Found a new weapon but very hard to tell how it will be without spending resources to level it up so gonna sit on it a while.

So far, it's more Elden Ring which is what any fav of the game would want really.

My tactic was when he ran towards me I just hit him with 4 swings then retreat.

I feel the same about the early map unless we are both missing places. I can see a ton of areas below but not accessible yet

There is a boss that had me picked up in the air and slammed down on the ground before I was able to finish summoning my mimic. Loving this now
