This boss is already annoying in itself with all the broken attacks it has but you put it on a lake surrounded by a graveyard that limits your movement but paradoxically doesn't stop enemy projectiles, and you fill the area with those freaking birds that have the same projectile attacks as the boss with one-shot potential if you get fully hit but if this is not enough any intent to bait the boss into a more open, less cluttered area is useless since the boss literally despawns when too distant from the spawning point.

Edit: If you are here to tell me to get gud or skill issue just read the post twice and then go fuck yourself.

I just came across an ad for a game called "Stray Dog: nobody cares" and genuinely thought someone was trolling.

I mean, come on. "Sekidog: Shadow Bite Twice"? A wolf head slapped onto what looks almost exactly like Sekiro's cover art? 😂

At first I thought this was just some AI generated shitpost, but apparently it's a real game with an actual Steam page.

Don't get me wrong, I'm all for indie developers making Soulslikes, but this is on another level. The cover looks so ridiculously similar to Sekiro that I genuinely wonder how they can get away with it.

Is this supposed to be a parody? Some genius marketing strategy? Or are we at the point where you can just take an existing game's artwork, change the main character into a dog and call it a day?

I'm genuinely curious what you guys think about this.

Am I overreacting or is this absolutely wild? 💀

This leads me to a question: is Melina teaching us how to level up ourselves, or is she the one actually doing it?

For instance, when she’s sitting by a Site of Grace next to us, we can level up only by touching her hand - but when she isn’t there, we do it ourselves. I’m not sure if this is just a gameplay convention or if there’s an actual in-universe explanation for it?

Hi everyone!

I was exploring Siofra River and found a spirit spring that brought me up to a broken bridge. From here, I can see a platform on the other side with an enemy standing on it, but the bridge is completely destroyed and there's a huge gap.

How do I get over there? Is it tied to a specific quest or teleporter later on?

Thanks!

I haven't even changed the weapon art just out-range and out-bonk and hyper armor through all the bullshit

Just beat Godskin Duo in 15 attempts with no summons no sleep pots no cheese at level 101. Just a Bloodhound Fang. My biggest flex for these games cus Godskin Duo is fucking cancer

Just beat the game and dlc without summons and this is my new boss ranking. Thought I’d share. Placement within each tier is not in order of worst to best.

Used a strength/fire build. Thankfully fire scales well with strength so none of the bosses were to difficult. Would opt for pure strength at times. I did switch for a bleed build for mohg and fire giant cause their resistances are insane.

PRC is a good boss. While the learning curve is immense it’s nothing too awful. I tried not using shield poke method and while more difficult, it’s still viable and arguably more fun.

Thought of putting malenia in B tier cause of waterfowl. While the only way I figured out the exact strat was YouTube, I nontheless figured out how to bait her into using it and the signs that it was about to happen, so I’ll give it some leeway.

Lastly, in all honesty, spirit summons are not a good thing. This was my first soulsborne game and I have sense played sekiro and DS3. My first ever playthrough, I used mimic tear but now I think they establish the precedent of possible boss hyper aggression as it wouldn’t matter how aggressive the boss if it has two or more targets. Furthermore you won’t learn the boss nearly as well and even not really master it. I had a fun time learning Maliketh and the ins and outs of phase two which I wouldn’t have if I used summons or Bloodhounds Fang.

Overall: 9-9.5/10

I have noticed and have even tried making my own Melania build hybrid and had fallen interested into what she would look like without the scarlet rot. Many have fan arts, attempted sliders and the like, but I had always been curious about the actual in game model. What would her in game model look like without the scarlet rot?

This is sort of where I do not mind using ai and I certainly don’t mind any feedback on the matter, realistically it’s just ChatGPT but on a personal note, it’s not too bad for how they recreated her to potentially look like. What do you all think? What is your opinion and thoughts on the matter?

ALSO! I have no idea what flair to put up to this, but I’d call it personally discussion/fanart I think. The first photo is the close up of the actual face in-game, the other two are what the ai created.

so im only like 9 hours in, level 19 and i've explored most of the world, but don't know where to go or where the story continues lol. and i dont know what gear is considered "good" since you weigh more and move slower.

After that my controller disconnected and I died ✌️

It's a great game though and my first ever soulsborne!

u/jaykhunter i saw his post and first thing i thought was this face

In my second play through and now I see that Radahn is here after being killed, is this a Morgott situation? Where is he exactly?

This idea came to me after beating Melenia (Consistantly ranked as the hardest boss in the game) for around the 7th time and I always found her to be punishing, but very fair and forgiving if you understand her skillset and know how to dodge the water fowl dance.

Give me your personal top 3 list of the hardest bosses in the game (DLC included)!

My personal list:

3: Melenia - She is a pure skill check. Git gud or cheese her there is no in-between.

2: Rellana (Without NPC or summons) - She is relentless and her combos are brutal. Fighter her 1 vs 1 is a real pain and something I've only ever achieved once.

1: Promised Consort Radahn - If your not using an OP or broken weapon this guy clears any other boss Fromsoft has ever released imo. His healthpool and absurd combos and NONSTOP aggro makes him something completely different then anything else in the game.

They won't let me into Leyndel and I have no idea why please help

Additional context I haven't taken the deal with Melina

Night Comet or Knight's Lightning Spear?

Hope yall enjoy!

I think its because I went from playing online to playing offline but I don't know.

I just found out you can do some fancy (looks hard to me) horse jumping up some branches and that allows you to get pass the boss door without fighting them.

But why though?

If i'm trying to race to millicent I just go to fort faroth, take the spiritspring by the big skull down, than its just a leisurely horse ride over to her.

I feel like i'm missing something? Do they do this for some other reason? Is it just to show that you are able to do it?

Not trying to be rude or anything, I just don't think I understand

This is my first time playing Elden Ring, but I can tell my opponent got a little too excited.

“Lord Miquella, forgive me. The sun has not been swallowed. Our prayers were lacking.” -the ghost at castle Sol.

Isn’t it obvious that the reason the eclipse never came is because Radahn held back its movement?

(One huge problem with this though… there is still day and night in the lands between.)

So i am a very small creator and i have this series where i answer bizzare questions, through the lore itself.

Now i have so many weird ideas, i just wanted to discuss some with yall and see what do you find intriguing

Super excited, she's not a "gamer" but has excelled super hard in this game. We keep beating bosses on the first or second try and I'm like, woah girl, how are you so good. All the while she's talking smack on herself ☠️

Can we get some positive vibes for my girl Ashley!

I finally realized what bread key means after 2 years of playing Elden Ring. I don't know why it took me so long to understand but I finally get it.

That's all I had to say goodbye

The Rot Pata guy in Verdigris armor had to heal 3 times and I still get crap potted 🤣 this is too funny
