Elden Ring

The sites of grace are humanities from Dark Souls 1. Pretty sure its just a smart reuse of assets, but its fun to theorize. I like thinking that Grace and Humanity are similar, if not the same. Losing both leads to similar outcomes.

I posted about this a few weeks ago and I think this video might help those in the same spot as I was.

Anyone else notice this? Also if you look out into the water where the DLC supposedly is to be you'll notice everything is "pulled in" and closer than it should be. Caelid tower is way too close.

This all fits because you need to invert the tower and there's so much reference to the DLC in the Carian Study Hall

I hadn't played a Souls/like/borne game before Elden Ring, but the moment I did I fell in love with the sub-genre.

That said, I've never played any of the DLC before, so I'm wondering how I need to approach it. For context: I finished Elden Ring but never started a NG+ run.

Can I jump back in with my guy, or am I going to have to work my way up to the part of the game that unlocks the DLC?

Thanks.

Big fan of VaatiVidya and his work.

THIS IS NOT A DRILL THE DLC IS REAL

Seriously, is this ever coming out? I don't remember fromsoft ever being this quiet about DLC for this long

If you're like me and never had much sucess with parrying, try out the buckler. It has the most lenient timing and fast startup.

Carian retaliation on a medium shield is good too but it takes a little longer to come out.

A WIP for a fanart piece I’ve been mulling over for a while now inspired by the Emperor of Mankind from Warhammer, but with Radagon instead. It’s not quite what I was going for so far, but that’s fine, since I still like it. Radagon obviously wouldn’t have power armor, but I still went with the golden stuff.

I was also thinking about adding a symbol of the twin-headed Cuckoo, which Radagon came to use to represent his Cuckoo Knights following his marriage to Renalla.

First time souls-borne player here. I started the game out with the warrior class because I figured it would be the most well rounded, however, I did a little reading and found that the samurai and vagabond were supposedly good classes for people just starting out. Is it worth it to reset the little progress I have to start out with a different class that might be better?

I'm making my way through new game plus and thought I'd try collect some of the weapons and items I missed first time around. Warrior Jar Shard is one I'm not too proud of collecting.

I had never played any FromSoftware title before i picked this game up on a buzz of recommendations from End of Year best game lists. I purposely didn't read any how-to or spoilers posts and dove in. No clue why but i went Bandit class. I had no idea what was going on and hung out looking at birds and beautiful scenery. I was weak and snuck around everywhere. Slowly i got used to the mechanics and progressed by just going everywhere i could. Only after dying countless times, making mistakes and wondering why I was levelling so slowly did i venture to the Reddit (now lemmy) EldenRing community. I steered away from obvious spoilers and gleaned a few tips and tricks (wish i had levelled vigor and not balanced stats out though i did concentrate on dex) However one thought kept returning. Perhaps I'm not very good at this game. Ive only just started hanging out in the Lake of Liurnia after going the Weeping Peninsula route and im 250+ hours in and only level 40 something. Im not complaining. I love this game. It fills me with a sense of wonder and satisfaction that I've rarely found consistently in other games. But i do have a nagging suspicion that perhaps i still have hundreds of hours of game learning to go amd that I'm still scrub. ( those peaky imps will always get me or a pack of wolves and I was overjoyed to finally beat the Tree Sentinel) Im still amazed how balanced and thoughtful this game is. How it teaches you as you go along by not making things easy but when you're ready you can progress. And i love to just wander about and see what's what. Sometimes hours just me and Torrent just cruising. What do you think? Am I under levelled for my hours. Does it matter? (I kinda think not) Is this usual for a first time FS player?

Recently, my girlfriend got interested in Elden Ring, and I'm trying to give her some advice. She doesn't have much experience in gaming, mostly chill games like Stardew Valley and such.

I'm afraid I'll scare her off if I monologue about i-frames, poise damage and parry windows, so: People whose first FromSoft experience was Elden Ring, what advice did you find actually usable for getting into the game?

This was on PS5, too. What fucking crazy-ass exploit was that? Every status bar procced at once and my HP just went straight to 0 without anything actually hitting me (didn't even play the hit animation or show the yellow in the HP bar).

I know it was an exploit or a cheat, since the fucker's name was "one shot" and that's exactly what the hell happened. The only animation his model ever did besides walking and rolling was pointing down.

I was just fucking around doing Varre's quest super quick, and was about to finger sever out as soon as I got in, but I was killed near instantly upon spawning in. I just wanna know what the hell happened because I didn't know there was currently a way to straight up cheat on PS5, so it has to be an exploit, right?

The nomadic merchants once roamed widely in the Lands Between as the "Great Caravan." However, long ago, they were accused of Heresy. Their clan, far and wide, was rounded up and buried alive deep below the earth. In their terror and sorrow, they chanted a fateful curse of despair, one that conjured forth the Frenzied Flame. A prophesy self-fulfilled perhaps. Now, only those few merchants far flung and hidden away from the prying eyes of the Golden Order live on, day by day, doing what they have to to survive after the Shattering.

Miquella was cursed with eternal childhood. Perhaps immortality might be a boon for others, but it was a burden for the Empyrean. Perhaps thanks to his curse, however, Miquella learned well how to compel affection, and to lead others. His ambitions would lead him to look outside the Golden Order to cure his sister Malenia, and to found an Erdtree of his own, the Haligtree, where those outcast from the Order could find unity. Through the Haligtree, he would rebirth himself into a new body, circumventing his curse. But, alas, before his metamorphosis was complete, he was stolen away by Mohg, who sought to use his Empyrean blood to found a dynasty under the Formless Mother.

Malenia was born cursed as a vessel of the Scarlet Rot, a rotting plague that not even Golden Order Fundamentalism was unable to cure. Her brother, Miquella, sought a cure beyond the Order, while Malenia sought to serve her brother's ambitions. She learned swordsmanship from a blue-robed master, likely the same figure who had sealed the outer god of rot to begin with. And, in the end, she became one of the greatest warriors in the Lands Between, and only met her match with Radahn, which triggered her to "bloom" reducing Caelid into a wasteland and creating the Swamp of Aeonia. Then again at the Haligtree. And a third time in her fateful meeting with a wayward Tarnished.
