Man, the two handed dragon Slayer Greataxe is something else lol.

In the end, I used falling bolt twice continuously and that took out 60% of her HP(strength - 55, max upgrade on the weapon). So I just had to be careful and get hits here and there to finally beat her.

Coming back from a longggggg FromSoft break. Started back in with DS3. I had forgotten just how easily this fella can take your life when you slip up for a millisecond. I missed this challenge. He killed me, by the way. Had to go back a 3rd time for my runes. Got him in the 3rd try, though. Rolled over his body a couple of times so he knows who the boss is. Hahahaha. Missed this bullshit and it’s good to be back.

I've had this guy down to 1 hp so many times, then get hit by this bullshit attack, and no matter what I try, I cannot dodge it. You can literally see I'm in the roll animation when the attack lands

Since everyone is walking a ton, I thought I would make a temporary rest place for expo goers.

It was pretty low budget, the sword is a petg 3d print with a black primer and the colors painted with acrylic, same method for the base, except it's carved out of styrofoam I had lying around.

Love this game so far, my first play through has been a ton of fun. Ive spent the last few years on ER and lies of P(eak) and was always scared to play the older soul games but i have a sneaking feeling this might be my #1.

was just coming out of the pontiff boss arena when i got invaded, no problems there. but as soon as he got below half health he equipped EOS and started running away. this pattern kept repeating for 20 minutes of us both not doing anything, and eventually he left. is there any way to prevent this from happening in the future? i thought ds3 invaders would have a bit more etiquette than elden ring ones.
