Elden Ring (George RR Martin and From Software)

I just got to the Storehouse, actually cool spot, not only in the first couple of rooms, haven't met fire knights yet 😊

But it's like one of those is tough enough but when you have 2 but doing long combos of spinning ****, it's just ridiculous.

Patch incoming. Increases the effects of the first half of blessings (+1 to +10 for you, +1 to +5 for summons), and decreases the effects of the second half, though increases the effect of the final blessing for each.

Seems pretty fair. Should help get people up and running a bit quicker by finding the most common fragments, and then a bit more bang for your buck if you find them all.

Attack and damage negation curve scaling of the Shadow Realm Blessings have been revised.

The attack and damage negation has been increased for the first half of the maximum amount of Blessing enhancements, and the second half will now be more gradual.

The attack and damage negation granted by the final level of Blessing enhancements has been slightly increased.

Loving the DLC so far. I'm at Renalla now at level 148 from main game but i'm only +5 on scudatree blessings and Renalla is proving to be a PITA even with mimic and the NPC so think i need to level up those blessings. It seems the difficulty really ramps up in the second half of the game from what i'm reading.

I'm still rocking the blasphemous blade fully upgraded - any tips for new or old weapons to try for DLC? I just got milady last night which is apparently good but i keep defaulting to good aul 'takers flames'. I have always wanted to give the sword of night and flame a bash but i need to respect and i've too low intelligence (much like in real life) :-)

Yeah mentioned that one earlier. Hated it

All I’ll say is good luck in the next area

Sorry for laughing but this post has reminded me of the Ballad of Gimli when he was playing through Bloodbourne. 🤣🤣

This level of frustration being shown by a seasoned git gud game player is why FS games just aren't for me. I simply don't have the time or the inclination to pour hours upon hours into fighting one enemy, area. My gaming is my down time. Hope you get it womped BTW.👍

It can definitely be frustrating, but the good almost always outweighs the bad in these games, and there's so much to enjoy in this DLC that even if I can't beat the final boss, my view on the game won't be tarnished.

Will just have to buckle the f*ck up, knuckle the f*ck down, and persevere.

Fire Knights the guys with daggers and red cloaks? Yeah, the can get fucked.

Jaheeeezus. How many floors are there to the storeroom and why are there 50 red Knights on each floor? Impossible to take each on and explore, I'm just running around like benny Hill. At least i found 5 more **** cookbooks!!!!

ok either the boss got nerfed or having near full power is a game changer. First try and had only a tiny bit of damage left before he got me

Beat a few bosses now, it is quite tough, I probably shouldnt have started the DLC with an NG+5 character.

Ive started to open up the map now aswell, from what I've seen so far it's quite a large map. I will say the first open area felt a bit bare.

Running a DEX/ARC build atm but I might change that up, still haven't got a weapon from the DLC I'm interested in using.

The remembrance weapon I did look at was from Rellana, but the stat split put me off

And he's done, Jesus Christ, incredibly tough fight.

Yeah that feels like my main issue with the second phase, you have to not only dodge attacks, but dodge to the correct side to be able to dodge again to avoid the AoE blast, and then pray you can even get a decent hit in before the next attack comes.

But, learning Phase 1 should help a lot as most of the attacks are the same minus the AoE blast, so just going to focus on it.

There is also the frustration that you need to use the small windows when he is not attacking to heal, then he is right back on top of you with another combo

Right, have a question about fighting the npc's in Enir Ilim.

I stopped to read a message at the bottom of a small staircase in a catacomb, it said something along the lines of 'First off, message, and then time for explosion'.

The half second it took me to process and exit the message meant it it was too late to roll to safety and I was hit by a large fireball from those imp cannon enemies.

Couldn't help but laugh and had to applaud the message. It had a few thousand appraisals so I think they got quite a few people.

So turns out I'm at the final boss.... He really doesn't want you using summons does he 😂 I'm +12 tree blessing so might not be levelled enough for this but i fell like i just want to beat it at this stage. Reading yer comments above, i can't imagine what his last 10% looks like as he's mental from the get go.

Also doesn't help that Mimic is the one summon that uses HP to summon rather than FP, which means getting caught summoning it can mean instant death. Plus the final boss doesn't always attack straight away, which means I had several tries where I'd see he wasn't attacking straight away, summon mimic, and as soon as I started summoning, motherf*cker would light up and come straight for me knowing I was now stuck in the animation.

When you finally find the abyssal forest but wish you never had 😂
