If it had ended with Radagon, I wouldn't have such a problem with it. But then they slapped on Elden Beast immediately after him. There needed to have been a gap between the two. Or he changes back to Marika and she's the final boss.
No idea. She'd probably be an interesting final boss. Or a repeat of Nashandra and be a fricking lame one. But my point about Elden Beast still stands.

>Rykard that low
Hard disagree, I thought Rykard was cool as frick but I also liked Yhorm. I appreciate the epic-ness and the assigned gimmick weapons for them. Rykard 2nd phase has the most soulful arena in the series
>that final boss list
Frick that anon, i like the character Gwyn but he is a shit boss, if you tryhard him then he is trivial parrybait, if you dont go the cheese way out he just swings his sword really fast, no way he is better than either Radagon nor Allant.
Isshin Fire/Emma>Soul of Cinder>Gherman>Radagon/EB>Isshin Saint/Jobchiro>Allant(fake)>Gwyn>Moon Presence>Nashandra>Aldia>Allant(true)>Mergo's Wet Nurse
Honestly by the time I got to this guy I was just so done with how unbalanced the whole game is and wanted it to be over. He got moonveil spammed as a result.
No, Sekiro and every other game in existence did better.
Nah, in terms of final boss build up
Sekiro>DaS1=DeS>DaS3>DaS2>ER>BB
It felt almost kind of offensive really, like he is only doing the pose because the OG trailer got memed into obllivion with OOOOH ELDEN RING shit, i felt pandered to in the worst possible way. Only beats BB with "oh i guess grandpa can walk now" since we actually heard a decent deal about Radagon and how he wanted to be the "perfect warrior".
>Pointless cutscene with Marika >Who despite being built up all game says and does nothing >Turns into someone else because they're the same person >Neither of the most important characters in the game do anything >Re-used game theme plays >It's another stupid fricking zombie-king boss >Shit spectacle phase 2 with a blob that flails and runs the entire time >Complete with yet another fricking re-use of "field of giant trees" set piece
Lazy as frick boss.
Radagon is just too squishy and his moves are far easier to avoid than most bosses in the game (and certainly, much easier than the lategame bosses)
He looks dashing but idk. FROM probably consciously wanted him to be easy so that EBeast would be the "real" fight
Also is it just me, or did most threads used to call the EBeast the "Greater Will" early on? Or was it just a filename that tended to come back often?
No fricking shit, this game's final stretch was worthy of a crown.

As soon as I finished my playthrough I went out, walked up to the first beautiful woman I saw and then made sweet consentual love to her on the spot. I was charged with a felony for doing it in public but after explaining the game in detail the prosecutor let me off the hook.
Oh yeah did I mention the fact that the OST calls back to the first reveal trailer and the main menu theme? Good god I wish this game wasn't open world, I actuall wouldn't ever stop playing if it wasn't for the cobstantly repeating 5 minutes of horseriding from A to B and the 2 hour long spiel of collecting rocks to upgrade my shit.
Just start NG+.
The way how open it is, I mean in the order you can approach bosses and things and the fact that you need only 2 great runes for endgame, it was designed to be replayed this way - not doing everything in single run necessarily.
Just do the parts you liked/want to revisit the most.
Honestly by the time I got to this guy I was just so done with how unbalanced the whole game is and wanted it to be over. He got moonveil spammed as a result.
Yeah idc what any wienersucker says. The extreme input reading made me loathe the game. After I beat it I went back and finally got good at sekiro because I respected the combat
frick, sekiros combat was so good
i, naively, thought Elden Ring would have combat on par in tightness, difficulty, fluidity, etc. but with the breadth of souls weapon selection
I was hoping that it'd at least have more unique combat - like what Bloodborne and Sekiro did - rather than just copying Dark Souls 3 for the mostpart.
On that note, where the hell are the trick weapons From? Such an amazing concept.
I'm replaying BB for the first time since TOH came out and it's killing me remembering how much better considered every aspect of that game was.

It pisses me off that they literally took steps back from dark souls 3 combat wise. I thought they were going to put more importance on stances and more intricate movesets. Dislike how they pretty much threw out the idea of weapons with unique movesets like Valorheart and Aquamarine dagger. They made enemy movement and elaborate attacks but didn't give you tools to dance with them like Sekiro or BB does, it just doesn't play that well imo. Beat the game twice and I don't think I'll ever play it again, it's really boring. Elden Ring PC is the lamest player character respective to their environment in the series since all they really did with the combat was give some strong flashy ashes of war, which is just glorified swordspell casting. It would have been amazing in 2016 but I expected more from the devs in current year.
>Grab attack: The Boss featuring Shockwaves
Godfrey's gay. Basically spams the one grab attack that does much, much more damage than literally any other move and can one shot you if you're not full, while being hyperaggressive and input reading your chugs with more spam.
I don't feel bad about killing him with a kamehameha
Same lmao. I got sick of the game around Leyndell and then it just kept going.
Doesn't help fire giant, foreskin duo and the cosmic fish are all total garbage.
Fire Giant is fine, Godskin Duo are massively overblown as tp their difficulty, Maliketh is rad as hell, Godfrey/Hoarah Loux is one of the best fights in the game, Radagon is also one of the best fights in the game, and Elden Beast is a bit annoying but it's a great setpiece boss. Quit b***hing homosexual it was fun
Hitting his big glowing weakpoints hits for critical damage and his fire has lore reasons for tracking you it's the fell God controlling the flames he's just its vessel
Fire Giant was great. >Not another Storm Ruler fight >Throws out massive attacks but with plenty of warning to dodge, block or run past them on Torrent. >kino phase 2 cutscene >Alexander.
>Attack his toes >he can basically never hit you here >keeps spamming those shitty rolls that take him a million miles away, walks extremely slowly back towards you >phase 2 he stands still for basically forever and his legs don't work
It was kinda shit senpai
>Fire Giant was great.
Fire Giant was literally not a real fight. It was a big, stupid NPC model doing random animations that didn't threaten you at all, while you just attacked its' foot until it died.
It wasn't a real boss, it was a joke filler fight designed to put content in an otherwise content-free zone.
Yeah no I surprised how shitty or easy to give up Ganker is. I beat godfrey and radagon no spirits, dex build with that malenia katana. Godfrey took only like 45 minutes to beat too
Not that anon but Its not brain dead like other katanas, it requires forethought and preparation but once you get it off, its over. Just have that talisman that heals you with consecutive hits and the ones that boost damage. Also have high poise and you'll be eating through enemies
>dex build with that malenia katana
literally me except I had put like 40 points into ARC and Radagon is immune to bleeding so I was effectively fighting him with 40 less levels
Yeah, it's one of the reasons I really dislike weapons which Ash of War cannot be changed. I'd rather quickly change my weapon to be less optimal but at least not hit something the boss is immune to; rather than just flat out do nothing with no way to change it.
Close, but not quite the same for me. WARRIOR got the cheese blitz treatment, but I decided to give the final boss a fair show. Radagon was a lot of fun. Then space flea showed up and I just cheesed it too. I still think Radagon is one of the best bosses in that game.
>Try to beat him solo >Finally do it >Elden beast appear >Kill me with his BS ray attack, move around like a moron and frick up the camera everytime >So tired of bad design in bosses in the game >Simple dont give a frick and summon mimic (pre nerf)
The game after godrik phantom go straigh to shit.
I really like Radagon fight it was fun to learn, but Elden Beast kinda ruined the vibe there should have defiantly be checkpoint like in Bloodborne just feels weird to kick Radagon's ass again.
It's pretty sad that seven games deep, Miyahacki can't balance a game and people have to make a conscious effort to make the game harder for anyone to take it seriously, and then outwardly belittle anyone that doesn't follow their own little handicaps.
Same here bruh but I went extra far with +10 shield skeletons after beating the rest of the game with nothing but whatever weapons I had upgraded, frick this lame ass estus eater lol
>trying to play the game without having any of it spoiled for me by the internet >using the mimic summon because I thought it was cool to have two of me plus I don't have much FP on a strength build >at one point do some dumb 1v1 fights with a group of friends >one of them is using hoarfrost stomp >ask them where to get it because it was doing crazy damage >somehow missed it near Caria Manor >spend the rest of the game just mimic hoarfrost stomping everything to death >beat Godfrey, Radagon, and Elden Beast all in one try just because friend wanted me to "try" the bosses at like 3 AM before I went to sleep while he was watching me play >finally go online after finishing the game >everyone complaining about all the OP shit in the game
I don't understand why people would be upset about feeling powerful in a PvE game. Souls games have always had dumb broken shit in them and that's half the fun when you find new weapons or spells: finding out if they're really strong.
It's a bit subjective. For me it's a problem when it trivialises the game and entirely removes the challenge, instead of just mitigating it and making you feel like you've gotten yourself an advantage. There were some boss fights at the end where I hardly even saw the move-set, and I didn't really have to adapt or learn anything and as a consequence of that I found the earlier parts of the game much more enjoyable and engaging in hindsight. By the time I was steamrolling stuff I was ready to just get the game over with because it had started to feel like a slog. It is fun to find something really strong, but when an item is broken the appeal wears off very quickly. It's like discovering cheat codes in a game as a kid and being really excited about how powerful it makes you feel and then realising that you've ruined the game for yourself by spoiling everything in it and essentially putting it on story mode.
I just exploited his bug. Run to him and hug his sites while walking to his back. He can't attack you if you're behind him, so he turns around. You can kill him without getting attacked. It's basically Amygdala all over again. Amygdala also loses the ability to attack you when you stand behind it after ripping off it's arms.
This. I'm sick of people jerking off over this game. It's a poorly designed, unbalanced shit show. Everything that people complain about with ds2 is in this game and they conveniently ignore it
It felt almost kind of offensive really, like he is only doing the pose because the OG trailer got memed into obllivion with OOOOH ELDEN RING shit, i felt pandered to in the worst possible way. Only beats BB with "oh i guess grandpa can walk now" since we actually heard a decent deal about Radagon and how he wanted to be the "perfect warrior".
Nah mate, with DeS both meet ups with Allant are meaningful, with the fake demon showing how much power he once had and how formidable he is and later with the real showing the shell of his former self. It also helps he is the king, so the state of Boletaria is in his hands, there is just this constant pondering of what the men who threw his kingdom (and possibly the world) into chaos is like.
While Gherman see under here
>2 and 3 above BB
Disgusting. Gherman being the first hunter and a constant presence in your game built him up plenty and his fight was perfect. Moon Presence is a a fantastic reveal but goes down way too fast for her own good.
I didn't give a rats ass about Nashandra or Soul of Cinder because they're never really developed as characters. Nashandra's fight is outright bad, but Soul of Cinder can be fun at least.
Im not talking about the fight itself but the build-up. Gherman is your mentor but ultimately you assume he is the "im too old for this shit" kind since he is in a fricking wheelchair and ultimately, being the first of the clean up duty doesnt amount to much in terms of the world and its state (unless you go the jap thing of old=stronger). Gherman getting up is at best a cool surprise but the only build up there is the fact you cant kill him and he just fricks off if you try to hit him.
Nashandra is a shit fight and its not particularly amazing but the twist is handled better here, room the moment you get close to her painting in that shitty room that starts cursing you know she is a backstabbing b***h, standing alone in that ghost castle, they go so hard on her betraying Vendrick that you are just expecting her to frick you, its alright build up, not the best but not "grandpa is not crippled" tier.
DaS3 is a bit too weird to explain, SoC itself is never mentioned but the way the fight goes and transforms is the build up, since what he represents is basically the whole point of the game and in a way the trilogy. Its way too gameplay related so i think its fair if you want to put him on the bottom since its concept "comes out of nowhere".
I would have, except >a couple days before getting to Radagon >on Youtube >recommended video: Elden Ring Main Theme (Final battle version)
I got spoiled on a few things in this game, but this is the only one that really upset me.
I like Gehrman, but the DLC improves him a lot as a character imo.
Man, I got spoiled on Isshin on fricking day 1 of Sekiro's release. Luckily it turned out to be Shura route Isshin, so when I got to Sword Saint Isshin, I technically didn't spoiled.
I dont know if this thread will last for you to see this, but its not like Gherman was a bad character pre-dlc, i just thought he just didnt have much build up as a final boss. Though you are correct that the "fine" character that he was improved greatly with the dlc, the connections between maria, the doll and him (and his sexual thoughts about the doll which translates to his feelings for his apprentice) really gave him some depth and made his staying prisoner of the hunter's dream far more compelling than some vague contact he had with Laurence we see in his crying dream.
Disgusting. Gherman being the first hunter and a constant presence in your game built him up plenty and his fight was perfect. Moon Presence is a a fantastic reveal but goes down way too fast for her own good.
I didn't give a rats ass about Nashandra or Soul of Cinder because they're never really developed as characters. Nashandra's fight is outright bad, but Soul of Cinder can be fun at least.

besides some shit happening in life, im grateful to be alive and enjoy these kind of moments
It was cool. More games should do this (I know there are lots, but still). I liked his moveset but as others said, at that point I just wanted it to end
I loved it, i was disappointed with malenia, the voice acting and cutscene were pretty dull, I dont remember the music either, and the same thing for most of these final bosses with the exception of the all knowing maybe. So it was a really fun ending to me.
>Pointless cutscene with Marika >Who despite being built up all game says and does nothing >Turns into someone else because they're the same person >Neither of the most important characters in the game do anything >Re-used game theme plays >It's another stupid fricking zombie-king boss >Shit spectacle phase 2 with a blob that flails and runs the entire time >Complete with yet another fricking re-use of "field of giant trees" set piece
Lazy as frick boss.
I wish we could have interacted with Marika, she's built up the whole game as the goddess and the whole reason everything's so fricked and we just find her crucified and she doesn't say anything before turning into Radagon
Crucified in a literal shot for shot from Evangelion too. Then we got a Princess Mononoke boss right after. It's like they ran out of ideas so just started ripping everything they could from other media
Chadagon of The Kino Order >theme is a remix of the main theme >it's the guy from the very first teaser trailer >is important in the lore and story >walks slowly towards you with extreme confidence >fights one handed with a fricking hammer
and then you have the virgin elden beast >looks like my mom's dinosaur >literally who >runs away while spamming spells like a homosexual mage >muh emotional music no one remembers
I liked Elden Beast ok. It didn't look how I was expecting. I was expecting it to be the final boss, but with how Melina called Radagon 'leal hound of the Golden Order' I was expecting some sort of wolf-like thing, like Radagon's hounds. Not spacewhale.
crazy people dont understand they are crazy. the connections make perfect sense in their mind. you are screaming at trees tier crazy with this shit. troonys are not the end all be all of life, stop being so obsessed
I know you were trying to show off the cheese strat but I thought it was genuinely cool how he had to set up Mimic while dodging Rad's wombo combio just to create an opening for him to set up terra magic
>the maliketh reveal >waking up in the ashen capital >btfo'ing gideon, even with his fanciest moves >HOARAH LOUX, WARRIOR >then this motherfricker
God the last leg of Elden Ring knows how to hit, right up until the fricking elden beast
No. I was like thank god it's almost over so I can uninstall and never touch it again. It was a slog through and through. Frick open worlds. Good thing I didn't pay for it.
Well duh. >for two (2) whole years the only thing we know about Elden Ring is that there is a person with a hammer, destroying the Elden Ring >the final boss is that very person, along with the trailer music in the background
People who didn't follow Elden Ring since day 1 just wouldn't understand.
No, I did Malenia before Godfrey and him so I was carrying a weapons grade amount of seethe with me as I obliterated both bosses with minimal effort. I should have probably taken a break to appreciate the end bosses more.
Radagon is great as a final boss but I disliked him as a first phase of a final boss. Him deciding to jump up and lighting spam for a bit got real tiring when I just wanted to get to another attempt at Elden Beast already. Godfrey phase 1 was a lot better in that regard.
>think radagon is a cool looking “cinematic” fight to top off the previous boss rush >elden beast appears
I’m going to personally break miyazaki’s elden ring (jaw) if he ever gets the stupid fricking idea again of making a boss that is functionally a zoner
No, it was just this random guy with no build up. Had a bleed build with mimic and it was just too inconsistent getting to elden beast, so I just leveled up the 130 crit dagger with frost, equipped the parry/riposte health regain talismans and learned to do Radagon with 1 flask used at most and no mimic.
This was the only pair of bosses that made it more fair against summons/bleed builds. Very disappointing balance in this game
>Boss appears >Cool music, great composition and nice design >Radagon of the golden order >Who?
The fact that I almost 100% the game and didn't know who the frick he was because I didn't read the description for myrmidion's cum rag that was hidden somewhere in swamp #7 completely destroyed any tension, not to mention the goofy chicken nugget dinosaur you fight afterward.
These games have absolute dogshit writing and pacing and I'm tired of Vaati fans pretending otherwise.
I don't know man, maybe I lost interest after my 19th chalice dungeon reskin, 6th dragon, 4th magma wyrm or a copy/paste of fricking astel and stop paying attention since nothing felt like it had any actual weight or importance.
>I will admit I thought the main theme playing was fricking cool
Too bad it only lasts for 10 sec.
In the end the best theme of this game is the main menu lmao.
I hate that it got spoiled for me by two seconds of a clip that autoplayed, due to no fault of my own. It's such a recognizable theme that I knew right away what I was looking at had to be the final boss and the theme was 100% the main theme.
He was cool but I already expected him to be the final fight so it definitely did not have the impact it should. I didn't really like fighting him that much either so that also didn't help.
genuinely a bad boss fight, with Elden Beast being worse.
i'll never beat Elden Ring, forever stuck on these two morons. Maybe one day Ill summon someone just to help push me into NG+.
I can run circles around bosses in Sekiro but Souls bosses are absolutely torturous thanks to the rudimentary and simplistic combat loop
anon just summon Tyche or Mimic and spam one of the moronic weapon arts
this game balance is non existant you have no business getting stuck unless you want to do things the "hard" way
>i'll never beat Elden Ring, forever stuck on these two morons.
You do know that you can literally just walk up to Radagon when the fight starts, and as long as you don't just actually melee attack him, his AI never triggers, right? So you can just spam any spell that hurts him and as long as you never break his posture, he'll just stand there and not attack at all.
And then Elden Beast is just a matter of running up to him, using some weapon that does an AoE effect, and letting it damage him. Astel's Wing is extremely easy. Takes two minutes.
Elden Beast is like Nashandra to me. It's a really shitty boss fight no matter how simple or easy it is lol, it's just not a good final boss. After soul of cinders I thought they figured out kino, but I never imagined it would get infinitely worse in their next game.
What? By the end game, I was so exhausted and burned out. Empty open world, tedious dungeons, repetitive enemies, unbalanced bosses... Complete nosedive in objective quality and subjective interest after the capital. Snowfield was a chore, pacing is completely fricked, then all the late-game bosses were only designed around AoE spam. By the time I got to Maliketh I just wanted this to be finished and stopped giving a shit about any lore stuff.
I crushed him with a Greatsword.
The Elden beast was a bit annoying though.
Godfrey was more fun than both and Malenia is one of the best bosses in all of Souls.
Ranni caused everything, Godwyn's assassination is what made Marika smash the elden ring which caused the shattering wars. Rannigays are moronic, she's literally the core reason why everything is so fricked
So the DLC is going to be about Miquella, right? He's the only demigod we never interact with at all and he's by far the most interesting one with the potential for the biggest impact on the world and story, and he's also the only one that's still alive at the end of the game other than Ranni
Elden Beast should have been like True King Allant, devoid of a vessel he should have been powerless and destroyed. Fits the fricking lore about muh meddling god things just fine, how gods are powerless without their followers.
Also Radagon is a step down from Godfrey, even after From cut a bunch of Godfrey content likely because they realized it was stealing Radagon's thunder.
It is indeed once you grab CHAOS shield you can rape anything without bother their moveset except malenia with her bullshit hp drain that becomes eternal rape with no end
Based. NG+2 really puts your skills to the test when you're fighting this Hoarah Loux. No summons or magic, you can only afford to get hit once. Took me 1 1/2 hours to beat him, but god damn... it was the most satisfying boss in all of souls.
Radagon is immune, great shitter filter and fun fight. We just need MECHA GODFREY to finally get RoBtards out.
Also blocking should completely nullify bleed buildup from weapons in PvP, it's not like poison or frost where there's shit splashing around on impact. And fix the buildup when dodging while they're at it.
After Radahn, I was severely disappointed that the final bosses didn't have nearly as much spectacle and were incredibly fricking standard. Some sort of 3-way fight would have been great.
>ignores the immutable fact that she quite literally ruined everything, destroyed the lives of millions, caused millions more deaths, and caused the fall and ruination of an entire perfect kingdom and then just runs away into space like a c**t because he simps for blue doll pussy
Trannicucks are so delusional it's absurd
The post capitol damage ramp is fricking moronic. 60 vig with dragon plate and still got to eat crab or use black flame protection just to take more than 2-3 hits.
DLC is going to take longer cause they have no where to go. Boss design stops mattering when it's just the players nuking them before they get nuked. Expect 3 phase shit to gate burst.
I don't understand how so many people issues with this. I was like 50-60 vigor in Beast Lord armor + cape. For talismans I had magic/elemental as well as physical resist.
I could handle more hits than that at full heath, 4-5 easily at least, with the exception of maybe the heavily telegraphed grab attacks.
Plus you are faster than in Souls games, you can jump, roll and run more, so you can heal more easily, you just have to bait out the heal attack or use terrain(Godskin Duo). Did you use Greater Runes and/or items for buffing?
This, it's really not that bad. The only enemies that I thought hit a bit too hard lategame were the banished knights in Farum Azula, they hit like fricking mack trucks but everything else felt like a pretty natural rampup
I'm on NG+3 and using lighter armor but base is still worse than any other Souls game by far. Max vigor, dedicated talisman slots, heavy armor, and crab makes me feel as durable as an average DS1 character.
This, it's really not that bad. The only enemies that I thought hit a bit too hard lategame were the banished knights in Farum Azula, they hit like fricking mack trucks but everything else felt like a pretty natural rampup
Pretty sure the scale stays the same for all those areas. Banished knights in Farum hit as hard as the ones in Castle Sol.
I wish Elden Ring had more cutscenes. It's obviously a deliberate choice to have less since 3, Sekiro, & now ER have only used them for major bosses, but I do miss the characterization those little movies gave otherwise unremarkable bosses like Pinwheel or most things in DeS.
Are you guys mentally ill or something

yeah i started jumping up and down with my mouth open as wide as possible screaming "i'm a beta sóybóy, i'm a beta sóybóy"
No? It’s the lamest final boss in the entire Soulsborne genre
It should’ve ended with Godfrey
Better than Demon Souls
because Allant is the true final boss the cuthulu tree demon blob is just there for lore.
Let me guess, you're not white.
I'm a Hispanic and I loved it frick you

Unironically better than Elden Shart.
>Elden Shart
You troons are getting really uncreative with these
>Malding over a shit boss
kek
>Malding
Go back to twitter
Cry about it.
No, go back
Radagon would've been a fine final boss, but the elden beast just fricked it up.
If it had ended with Radagon, I wouldn't have such a problem with it. But then they slapped on Elden Beast immediately after him. There needed to have been a gap between the two. Or he changes back to Marika and she's the final boss.
>Or he changes back to Marika and she's the final boss.
I don't know why they didn't do this
No idea. She'd probably be an interesting final boss. Or a repeat of Nashandra and be a fricking lame one. But my point about Elden Beast still stands.
I would assume Radagon is stronger than Marika.
Why would you assume that
He is a man
excuse me chud?
Marika makes no sense, she wouldn't have had any reason to oppose us.
I don't know, anything would be better than immediately fighting the Elden Beast after beating Radagon.
The all coping literally says that marika did that shit of not entering the tree on purpose for eternal punishment when he tries to kill you
Radagon is way better boss than
Nashandra, true king allant and gwyn.
Gherman, Soul Of Cinder and Isshin are better than Radagon.
Soul of Cinder sucks, I will never understand why people suck its wiener so much
Only Isshin and Gherman are better. Soul of Cinder is a neat idea executed poorly.
Second phase soul of cinder not gwyn sucks with that bullshit big aoe tekken juggle high damage bug sword slashes
In overall quality.

You talk like a gay
Sorry I hurt your feelings.
You didn't, I just don't know what half of what you said even meant because of your dumb memelording
>I just don't know what half of what you said even meant
You don't have to be mad just because you are dumb, anon.
Relax.
I'm dumb because you can't talk like a human being, weird
What part did you not understand, ESLanon?
Most of the dumb names you made up that you thought were hilarious jokes, moron-kun
I'm fitting in and you're going to like it.
I didn't make any of them up tho.
All are used by the community.
Lurk moar.
>All are used by the community.
Maybe on your subreddit, I've never heard any of them before
Community ≠ subreddit.
Lurk moar.
I'm not lurking on your subreddit moron.
>she thinks being here since 2010 makes her an oldgay
lmao
Who said anything about being an oldgay
His whole defense revolves around telling people
to "lurk more" for a bunch of games that are only a few years old, so he doubled down and made himself look like a moron by bringing up a random year that pre-dates his cringe-speak entirely.
I can't believe someone got this butthurt over some innocent jokes, pathetic.
>she keeps talking to herself
Girl, I told you to calm down ten posts ago.
>He doesn't know how to differentiate new posters from old.
You've outed yourself enough times /r/etard.
Been here since 2010, try again bud
Literally no one here calls half of those bosses by that reddit-speak frick off.
>Rykard that low
Hard disagree, I thought Rykard was cool as frick but I also liked Yhorm. I appreciate the epic-ness and the assigned gimmick weapons for them. Rykard 2nd phase has the most soulful arena in the series
Yhorm is barely even a fight, Rykard can at least actually kill you
It looks cool
Not really
Disagreements are okay.
glock grandpa isn't even the best version of isshin get the frick outta here
>that final boss list
Frick that anon, i like the character Gwyn but he is a shit boss, if you tryhard him then he is trivial parrybait, if you dont go the cheese way out he just swings his sword really fast, no way he is better than either Radagon nor Allant.
Isshin Fire/Emma>Soul of Cinder>Gherman>Radagon/EB>Isshin Saint/Jobchiro>Allant(fake)>Gwyn>Moon Presence>Nashandra>Aldia>Allant(true)>Mergo's Wet Nurse
Shut your dumbass up
I wonder who could ever be behind these posts
It's weird how the mere existence of Dark Souls 2 is enough to make people irrationally mass-respond defensively like this.
>I wonder who could ever be behind these posts
Wonder no longer, he is a pic of me.
t.
>Body Type B
MUH OLDMAN BEARDED BEING THE FINAL BOSS JUST LIKE MUH FAVORITE FIRST DORK SOULS!
Obviously Godfrey was the best boss in the game, but I think Radagon comes close
I liked Morgott a lot, and Radahn was cool with your squad of npc summons
Radagon is just too squishy and his moves are far easier to avoid than most bosses in the game (and certainly, much easier than the lategame bosses)
He looks dashing but idk. FROM probably consciously wanted him to be easy so that EBeast would be the "real" fight
Also is it just me, or did most threads used to call the EBeast the "Greater Will" early on? Or was it just a filename that tended to come back often?
Elden Beast itself doesn't even really feel like an actual fight. Just a big punching bag
Yeah I guess what I said could also apply to it, but I'm a fricking potato at these games and I could die to the Beast, while certainly not to Radagon
No fricking shit, this game's final stretch was worthy of a crown.
You are a homosexual and your lifts are weak and your testosterone levels are low.
Allow me to set the stage;

GOOD FRICKING GOD I'M CREAMING MY PANTS

FULL-ROOM STANDING OVATION HOLY FRICKING SHIT
As soon as I finished my playthrough I went out, walked up to the first beautiful woman I saw and then made sweet consentual love to her on the spot. I was charged with a felony for doing it in public but after explaining the game in detail the prosecutor let me off the hook.
Oh yeah did I mention the fact that the OST calls back to the first reveal trailer and the main menu theme? Good god I wish this game wasn't open world, I actuall wouldn't ever stop playing if it wasn't for the cobstantly repeating 5 minutes of horseriding from A to B and the 2 hour long spiel of collecting rocks to upgrade my shit.
Just start NG+.
The way how open it is, I mean in the order you can approach bosses and things and the fact that you need only 2 great runes for endgame, it was designed to be replayed this way - not doing everything in single run necessarily.
Just do the parts you liked/want to revisit the most.
I actually love the trailer music I still listen to it
Honestly by the time I got to this guy I was just so done with how unbalanced the whole game is and wanted it to be over. He got moonveil spammed as a result.
Are you me?
This. I just summoned mimic and stopped giving a frick
Yeah idc what any wienersucker says. The extreme input reading made me loathe the game. After I beat it I went back and finally got good at sekiro because I respected the combat
frick, sekiros combat was so good
i, naively, thought Elden Ring would have combat on par in tightness, difficulty, fluidity, etc. but with the breadth of souls weapon selection
I was hoping that it'd at least have more unique combat - like what Bloodborne and Sekiro did - rather than just copying Dark Souls 3 for the mostpart.
On that note, where the hell are the trick weapons From? Such an amazing concept.
I'm replaying BB for the first time since TOH came out and it's killing me remembering how much better considered every aspect of that game was.
It pisses me off that they literally took steps back from dark souls 3 combat wise. I thought they were going to put more importance on stances and more intricate movesets. Dislike how they pretty much threw out the idea of weapons with unique movesets like Valorheart and Aquamarine dagger. They made enemy movement and elaborate attacks but didn't give you tools to dance with them like Sekiro or BB does, it just doesn't play that well imo. Beat the game twice and I don't think I'll ever play it again, it's really boring. Elden Ring PC is the lamest player character respective to their environment in the series since all they really did with the combat was give some strong flashy ashes of war, which is just glorified swordspell casting. It would have been amazing in 2016 but I expected more from the devs in current year.
sekiro has lots input reading
I mostly felt that way towards the end, but I did genuinely enjoy the last two fights. Something about them felt more fair than Godfrey.
What was unfair about Godfrey??
His over aggression. Especially in the second phase along with his massive aoe attacks that must be spaced, not dodged
>Grab attack: The Boss featuring Shockwaves
Godfrey's gay. Basically spams the one grab attack that does much, much more damage than literally any other move and can one shot you if you're not full, while being hyperaggressive and input reading your chugs with more spam.
I don't feel bad about killing him with a kamehameha
I thought his fight was decent and beast looked cool but wasn't that interesting. Godfrey however pissed me off
>Godfrey however pissed me off
I have no idea what you're talking about
>t. Moonveil and rain of Blood mimic spammer.
>play magic
>complain that the game's too easy
???
Same lmao. I got sick of the game around Leyndell and then it just kept going.
Doesn't help fire giant, foreskin duo and the cosmic fish are all total garbage.
Fire Giant is fine, Godskin Duo are massively overblown as tp their difficulty, Maliketh is rad as hell, Godfrey/Hoarah Loux is one of the best fights in the game, Radagon is also one of the best fights in the game, and Elden Beast is a bit annoying but it's a great setpiece boss. Quit b***hing homosexual it was fun
>let me tell you what you like
How about you gargle my nutsack, homosexual.
Cry harder dickhead
>IT SUCKS AFTER LEYNDELL
Is that what your admin told you to post
>c-c-cry harder mumbled the fromdrone through gritted teeth and tears
>discord shazamtroony falls back onto preprogrammed gobbeldeyasiatic
Every thread
Any more of your schizophrenic boogiemen you wanna tell us about?
Yap yap go back troon
Fire giant has too much hp and can fire missiles in directions his hands aren't even facing
Hitting his big glowing weakpoints hits for critical damage and his fire has lore reasons for tracking you it's the fell God controlling the flames he's just its vessel
Lore is such a gay excuse for bad game features. Not surprised FROMs dogshit programmers would manipulate you all with it
Fire Giant was great.
>Not another Storm Ruler fight
>Throws out massive attacks but with plenty of warning to dodge, block or run past them on Torrent.
>kino phase 2 cutscene
>Alexander.
>Attack his toes
>he can basically never hit you here
>keeps spamming those shitty rolls that take him a million miles away, walks extremely slowly back towards you
>phase 2 he stands still for basically forever and his legs don't work
It was kinda shit senpai
>Fire Giant was great.
Fire Giant was literally not a real fight. It was a big, stupid NPC model doing random animations that didn't threaten you at all, while you just attacked its' foot until it died.
It wasn't a real boss, it was a joke filler fight designed to put content in an otherwise content-free zone.
>beat him normally after trying 20-30 times.
I can't be the only one...fricking zoomers.
Yeah no I surprised how shitty or easy to give up Ganker is. I beat godfrey and radagon no spirits, dex build with that malenia katana. Godfrey took only like 45 minutes to beat too
>malenia katana
bait.
Why is it bait? Genuine question, I just thought it looked cool and dont really give a shit about the meta. Is it like OP or something?
Not that anon but Its not brain dead like other katanas, it requires forethought and preparation but once you get it off, its over. Just have that talisman that heals you with consecutive hits and the ones that boost damage. Also have high poise and you'll be eating through enemies
>dex build with that malenia katana
literally me except I had put like 40 points into ARC and Radagon is immune to bleeding so I was effectively fighting him with 40 less levels
Yeah, it's one of the reasons I really dislike weapons which Ash of War cannot be changed. I'd rather quickly change my weapon to be less optimal but at least not hit something the boss is immune to; rather than just flat out do nothing with no way to change it.
Same
Same lol. Just summoned my Mimic and spammed lightning miracles while my mimic tanked
Close, but not quite the same for me. WARRIOR got the cheese blitz treatment, but I decided to give the final boss a fair show. Radagon was a lot of fun. Then space flea showed up and I just cheesed it too. I still think Radagon is one of the best bosses in that game.
>Try to beat him solo
>Finally do it
>Elden beast appear
>Kill me with his BS ray attack, move around like a moron and frick up the camera everytime
>So tired of bad design in bosses in the game
>Simple dont give a frick and summon mimic (pre nerf)
The game after godrik phantom go straigh to shit.
i thought i was the only one
I really like Radagon fight it was fun to learn, but Elden Beast kinda ruined the vibe there should have defiantly be checkpoint like in Bloodborne just feels weird to kick Radagon's ass again.
very rare for a filtered player to make it to the end, congrats! but you were still filtered.
same, I used Taker's Flames
>these replies
Jesus how embarrassing.
It's pretty sad that seven games deep, Miyahacki can't balance a game and people have to make a conscious effort to make the game harder for anyone to take it seriously, and then outwardly belittle anyone that doesn't follow their own little handicaps.
Same here bruh but I went extra far with +10 shield skeletons after beating the rest of the game with nothing but whatever weapons I had upgraded, frick this lame ass estus eater lol
>trying to play the game without having any of it spoiled for me by the internet
>using the mimic summon because I thought it was cool to have two of me plus I don't have much FP on a strength build
>at one point do some dumb 1v1 fights with a group of friends

>beat Godfrey, Radagon, and Elden Beast all in one try just because friend wanted me to "try" the bosses at like 3 AM before I went to sleep while he was watching me play
>finally go online after finishing the game
>everyone complaining about all the OP shit in the game
I don't understand why people would be upset about feeling powerful in a PvE game. Souls games have always had dumb broken shit in them and that's half the fun when you find new weapons or spells: finding out if they're really strong.
It's a bit subjective. For me it's a problem when it trivialises the game and entirely removes the challenge, instead of just mitigating it and making you feel like you've gotten yourself an advantage. There were some boss fights at the end where I hardly even saw the move-set, and I didn't really have to adapt or learn anything and as a consequence of that I found the earlier parts of the game much more enjoyable and engaging in hindsight. By the time I was steamrolling stuff I was ready to just get the game over with because it had started to feel like a slog. It is fun to find something really strong, but when an item is broken the appeal wears off very quickly. It's like discovering cheat codes in a game as a kid and being really excited about how powerful it makes you feel and then realising that you've ruined the game for yourself by spoiling everything in it and essentially putting it on story mode.
>unbalanced
How dare me making three or four mistakes in a row result in my death?
I just exploited his bug. Run to him and hug his sites while walking to his back. He can't attack you if you're behind him, so he turns around. You can kill him without getting attacked. It's basically Amygdala all over again. Amygdala also loses the ability to attack you when you stand behind it after ripping off it's arms.
This. I'm sick of people jerking off over this game. It's a poorly designed, unbalanced shit show. Everything that people complain about with ds2 is in this game and they conveniently ignore it
It's a great game, cry more
nope, he was a massive letdown after getting memed by the pro wrestling guy
Wow anon I didn't know you're pathetic 30 kissless virgin, why expose yourself like that loser do you shake around women do other men make fun of you?
Nah, in terms of final boss build up
Sekiro>DaS1=DeS>DaS3>DaS2>ER>BB
It felt almost kind of offensive really, like he is only doing the pose because the OG trailer got memed into obllivion with OOOOH ELDEN RING shit, i felt pandered to in the worst possible way. Only beats BB with "oh i guess grandpa can walk now" since we actually heard a decent deal about Radagon and how he wanted to be the "perfect warrior".
Switch Bloodborne and DeS and its accurate
Nah mate, with DeS both meet ups with Allant are meaningful, with the fake demon showing how much power he once had and how formidable he is and later with the real showing the shell of his former self. It also helps he is the king, so the state of Boletaria is in his hands, there is just this constant pondering of what the men who threw his kingdom (and possibly the world) into chaos is like.
While Gherman see under here
Im not talking about the fight itself but the build-up. Gherman is your mentor but ultimately you assume he is the "im too old for this shit" kind since he is in a fricking wheelchair and ultimately, being the first of the clean up duty doesnt amount to much in terms of the world and its state (unless you go the jap thing of old=stronger). Gherman getting up is at best a cool surprise but the only build up there is the fact you cant kill him and he just fricks off if you try to hit him.
Nashandra is a shit fight and its not particularly amazing but the twist is handled better here, room the moment you get close to her painting in that shitty room that starts cursing you know she is a backstabbing b***h, standing alone in that ghost castle, they go so hard on her betraying Vendrick that you are just expecting her to frick you, its alright build up, not the best but not "grandpa is not crippled" tier.
DaS3 is a bit too weird to explain, SoC itself is never mentioned but the way the fight goes and transforms is the build up, since what he represents is basically the whole point of the game and in a way the trilogy. Its way too gameplay related so i think its fair if you want to put him on the bottom since its concept "comes out of nowhere".
I would have, except
>a couple days before getting to Radagon
>on Youtube
>recommended video: Elden Ring Main Theme (Final battle version)
I got spoiled on a few things in this game, but this is the only one that really upset me.
I like Gehrman, but the DLC improves him a lot as a character imo.
I feel for you anon, that's the worst thing to spoil in the whole game.
Man, I got spoiled on Isshin on fricking day 1 of Sekiro's release. Luckily it turned out to be Shura route Isshin, so when I got to Sword Saint Isshin, I technically didn't spoiled.
I dont know if this thread will last for you to see this, but its not like Gherman was a bad character pre-dlc, i just thought he just didnt have much build up as a final boss. Though you are correct that the "fine" character that he was improved greatly with the dlc, the connections between maria, the doll and him (and his sexual thoughts about the doll which translates to his feelings for his apprentice) really gave him some depth and made his staying prisoner of the hunter's dream far more compelling than some vague contact he had with Laurence we see in his crying dream.
The amount of times that has happened to me on shitube makes me want to tear my skin off.
>2 and 3 above BB
Disgusting. Gherman being the first hunter and a constant presence in your game built him up plenty and his fight was perfect. Moon Presence is a a fantastic reveal but goes down way too fast for her own good.
I didn't give a rats ass about Nashandra or Soul of Cinder because they're never really developed as characters. Nashandra's fight is outright bad, but Soul of Cinder can be fun at least.
yeah, i kinda went onions when i noticed that it was the main theme playing at the moment
No, Sekiro and every other game in existence did better.
God sekiro is so good. Just finished NG+. May go for all endings
You are allowed to like things unironically
I’m sorry years of being a zoom zoom have poisoned your mind
No, I just wanted the game to be over at that point

It was cool. More games should do this (I know there are lots, but still). I liked his moveset but as others said, at that point I just wanted it to end
literally söylent chugging homosexual mentality
I loved it, i was disappointed with malenia, the voice acting and cutscene were pretty dull, I dont remember the music either, and the same thing for most of these final bosses with the exception of the all knowing maybe. So it was a really fun ending to me.
It was perfect.

Lazy as frick boss.
I wish we could have interacted with Marika, she's built up the whole game as the goddess and the whole reason everything's so fricked and we just find her crucified and she doesn't say anything before turning into Radagon
Crucified in a literal shot for shot from Evangelion too. Then we got a Princess Mononoke boss right after. It's like they ran out of ideas so just started ripping everything they could from other media
but miyazaki made mononoke to begin with
No why would i soijak here

Epic post fellow redittor
I liked Elden Beast ok. It didn't look how I was expecting. I was expecting it to be the final boss, but with how Melina called Radagon 'leal hound of the Golden Order' I was expecting some sort of wolf-like thing, like Radagon's hounds. Not spacewhale.
>bruh, look at dis doood
>looks like my mom's dinosaur
w-what?
i love the fact that the elden beast turned radagon into his sword after he failed him.
wait for real? that gives so much more meaning to the shape of the blade. nice.

Yeah dude I'm sure Miyazaki is very interested in the american troony epidemic
/misc/ lobotomized moron
Why are all the bosses in this game the same.
I know you were trying to show off the cheese strat but I thought it was genuinely cool how he had to set up Mimic while dodging Rad's wombo combio just to create an opening for him to set up terra magic
I skipped every cutscene in elden fart
i didnt even get to that part because i was bored way before it lmao
incredibly underwhelming after fighting his children
godfrey should've had his stats multiplied by 10 and then he should be the final boss
Radagon has the most brilliant moveset in the game. I don't dislike Godfrey but he's incredibly basic by comparison.

God the last leg of Elden Ring knows how to hit, right up until the fricking elden beast
I didn't know who that was because I didn't pay attention to the """story"""
No. I was like thank god it's almost over so I can uninstall and never touch it again. It was a slog through and through. Frick open worlds. Good thing I didn't pay for it.
no because i was half asleep powering through this 1d z targeting slave caste game on autopilot
Well duh.
>for two (2) whole years the only thing we know about Elden Ring is that there is a person with a hammer, destroying the Elden Ring
>the final boss is that very person, along with the trailer music in the background
People who didn't follow Elden Ring since day 1 just wouldn't understand.
No, I did Malenia before Godfrey and him so I was carrying a weapons grade amount of seethe with me as I obliterated both bosses with minimal effort. I should have probably taken a break to appreciate the end bosses more.
No frick off tourist
Radagon is great as a final boss but I disliked him as a first phase of a final boss. Him deciding to jump up and lighting spam for a bit got real tiring when I just wanted to get to another attempt at Elden Beast already. Godfrey phase 1 was a lot better in that regard.
>think radagon is a cool looking “cinematic” fight to top off the previous boss rush
>elden beast appears
I’m going to personally break miyazaki’s elden ring (jaw) if he ever gets the stupid fricking idea again of making a boss that is functionally a zoner
No, it was just this random guy with no build up. Had a bleed build with mimic and it was just too inconsistent getting to elden beast, so I just leveled up the 130 crit dagger with frost, equipped the parry/riposte health regain talismans and learned to do Radagon with 1 flask used at most and no mimic.
This was the only pair of bosses that made it more fair against summons/bleed builds. Very disappointing balance in this game
The absolute state of eldentroons.
No, I had no particular investment in Radagon whatsoever.
I cringed because I thought the final boss was a troon.
Why would i lol
this game is just an incoherent mess
who the frick was this moron?
it was absolutely kino and I'm tired of pretending it wasn't
>Boss appears
>Cool music, great composition and nice design
>Radagon of the golden order
>Who?
The fact that I almost 100% the game and didn't know who the frick he was because I didn't read the description for myrmidion's cum rag that was hidden somewhere in swamp #7 completely destroyed any tension, not to mention the goofy chicken nugget dinosaur you fight afterward.
These games have absolute dogshit writing and pacing and I'm tired of Vaati fans pretending otherwise.
Bro please
I can forgive you for being unaware of 95% of the bosses in the game but how could you NOT hear Radagon being mentioned
I don't know man, maybe I lost interest after my 19th chalice dungeon reskin, 6th dragon, 4th magma wyrm or a copy/paste of fricking astel and stop paying attention since nothing felt like it had any actual weight or importance.
Low quality bait
When I finally killed the rot b***h I absolutely jumped up and made a onions face. I'm ashamed
I will admit I thought the main theme playing was fricking cool, probably the best track from the game
>I will admit I thought the main theme playing was fricking cool
Too bad it only lasts for 10 sec.
In the end the best theme of this game is the main menu lmao.
>Too bad it only lasts for 10 sec.
? It's Radagon's entire boss music.
>final boss theme is the same as the game’s main theme
>epic edition
I hate that it got spoiled for me by two seconds of a clip that autoplayed, due to no fault of my own. It's such a recognizable theme that I knew right away what I was looking at had to be the final boss and the theme was 100% the main theme.
He is going to transform? Yup he is transforming
Lame compared to Gehrman or the Chadest of Chads: orphan of Kos.
He was cool but I already expected him to be the final fight so it definitely did not have the impact it should. I didn't really like fighting him that much either so that also didn't help.
I don't even know what does that mean
genuinely a bad boss fight, with Elden Beast being worse.
i'll never beat Elden Ring, forever stuck on these two morons. Maybe one day Ill summon someone just to help push me into NG+.
I can run circles around bosses in Sekiro but Souls bosses are absolutely torturous thanks to the rudimentary and simplistic combat loop
Radagon is one of the best boss fights in the game and Elden Beast is way overblown, it's not that bad just slightly annoying
>i'll never beat Elden Ring
anon just summon Tyche or Mimic and spam one of the moronic weapon arts
this game balance is non existant you have no business getting stuck unless you want to do things the "hard" way
>i'll never beat Elden Ring, forever stuck on these two morons.
You do know that you can literally just walk up to Radagon when the fight starts, and as long as you don't just actually melee attack him, his AI never triggers, right? So you can just spam any spell that hurts him and as long as you never break his posture, he'll just stand there and not attack at all.
And then Elden Beast is just a matter of running up to him, using some weapon that does an AoE effect, and letting it damage him. Astel's Wing is extremely easy. Takes two minutes.
Elden Beast is like Nashandra to me. It's a really shitty boss fight no matter how simple or easy it is lol, it's just not a good final boss. After soul of cinders I thought they figured out kino, but I never imagined it would get infinitely worse in their next game.
Not really
I did the face at placidussax tho, by finding him organically
What? By the end game, I was so exhausted and burned out. Empty open world, tedious dungeons, repetitive enemies, unbalanced bosses... Complete nosedive in objective quality and subjective interest after the capital. Snowfield was a chore, pacing is completely fricked, then all the late-game bosses were only designed around AoE spam. By the time I got to Maliketh I just wanted this to be finished and stopped giving a shit about any lore stuff.
I still do and unironically get chills
Can't help it. No boss in the other games was this kino
>*yawn* here we go again
>summon mimic and mash hoarfrost stomp
>get ranni ending
>uninstall game
Not even slightest after killing Malenia.
Yeah It was great and instantly became one of my favorite bosses.
I crushed him with a Greatsword.
The Elden beast was a bit annoying though.
Godfrey was more fun than both and Malenia is one of the best bosses in all of Souls.
No, I cringed, male assigned eldentroony.
Radagon royally fricked over Rennala why should I basedface for him? frick that Black person
And Ranni fricked over the entire world by releasing death cancer by killing Godwyn because "muh mommy"
Ranni caused everything, Godwyn's assassination is what made Marika smash the elden ring which caused the shattering wars. Rannigays are moronic, she's literally the core reason why everything is so fricked
Didn't the greater will hijack the crucible and wipe out the fire giants? I don't recall anything saying life sucked before it showed up.
I agree I thought hearing the title theme there was cool, if that's what you mean.
So the DLC is going to be about Miquella, right? He's the only demigod we never interact with at all and he's by far the most interesting one with the potential for the biggest impact on the world and story, and he's also the only one that's still alive at the end of the game other than Ranni
I dunno anon tanimura is moron enough that the fake zanzibartland dlc be true
Elden Beast should have been like True King Allant, devoid of a vessel he should have been powerless and destroyed. Fits the fricking lore about muh meddling god things just fine, how gods are powerless without their followers.
Also Radagon is a step down from Godfrey, even after From cut a bunch of Godfrey content likely because they realized it was stealing Radagon's thunder.
Elden Rong is artificial difficulty, Ganker!
It is indeed once you grab CHAOS shield you can rape anything without bother their moveset except malenia with her bullshit hp drain that becomes eternal rape with no end
Godfrey > this homosexual troony
Based. NG+2 really puts your skills to the test when you're fighting this Hoarah Loux. No summons or magic, you can only afford to get hit once. Took me 1 1/2 hours to beat him, but god damn... it was the most satisfying boss in all of souls.
>If you kneecap yourself this boss is pretty hard.
Dies in under 30 seconds to bleed like 90% of the enemies in the game.
I don't understand why they haven't nerfed bleed yet.
It's not as bullshit as hoarfrost stomp was, but it's still bad.
>I don't understand why they haven't nerfed bleed yet.
Because these games aren't made to be as difficulty as you want them to be.
Works intended they just need to do METAL BOSSES with no bleed
Radagon is immune, great shitter filter and fun fight. We just need MECHA GODFREY to finally get RoBtards out.
Also blocking should completely nullify bleed buildup from weapons in PvP, it's not like poison or frost where there's shit splashing around on impact. And fix the buildup when dodging while they're at it.
They have rock bosses with no bleed
For the dlc
how are you guys liking the new ranni?
I was filtered by Radagon. Must have taken 70 tries to beat him even with the Mimic on every attempt.
After Radahn, I was severely disappointed that the final bosses didn't have nearly as much spectacle and were incredibly fricking standard. Some sort of 3-way fight would have been great.
Elden Ring is the second best From game, right after Sekiro, and I am tired of pretending it's not.
Name one thing Ranni did right. Her killing Godwyn completely fricked the Lands Between.
>Name one thing Ranni did right
You can't because she fricked everything up, and her solution is to frick off into space and say "not my problem lmao"
The only good about that doll b***h is the meme kings field sword that now its fixed
Seethe and cope. Waifuchads won.
>Speedreaders didn't pay attention and don't realize she's the reason everything is shit
>Waifucucks just think with their dicks
No shit.
>ignores the immutable fact that she quite literally ruined everything, destroyed the lives of millions, caused millions more deaths, and caused the fall and ruination of an entire perfect kingdom and then just runs away into space like a c**t because he simps for blue doll pussy
Trannicucks are so delusional it's absurd
Everything bad that started in Elden Ring is traced back to Marika and the Greater Will.
Marika shattered the ring out of despair and anger after Godwyn was assassinated, which was Ranni's doing. Ranni was the root cause of everything
>He thinks it was out of despair
>He thinks she wasn't planning on rebelling against the greater will for a long time
The game explicitly states that Marika shattered the ring out of grief over Godwyn's death
The game also claims Radhan is a mindless beast yet he's also apparently sane enough to continue holding back the stars.
He literally crawls around on all fours cannibalizing his own soldiers and screaming at the sky
It also says he's the mightiest warrior yet Malenia has never known defeat like both are the best warrior in the setting
Those two things aren't mutually exclusive
The post capitol damage ramp is fricking moronic. 60 vig with dragon plate and still got to eat crab or use black flame protection just to take more than 2-3 hits.
DLC is going to take longer cause they have no where to go. Boss design stops mattering when it's just the players nuking them before they get nuked. Expect 3 phase shit to gate burst.
I don't understand how so many people issues with this. I was like 50-60 vigor in Beast Lord armor + cape. For talismans I had magic/elemental as well as physical resist.
I could handle more hits than that at full heath, 4-5 easily at least, with the exception of maybe the heavily telegraphed grab attacks.
Plus you are faster than in Souls games, you can jump, roll and run more, so you can heal more easily, you just have to bait out the heal attack or use terrain(Godskin Duo). Did you use Greater Runes and/or items for buffing?
This, it's really not that bad. The only enemies that I thought hit a bit too hard lategame were the banished knights in Farum Azula, they hit like fricking mack trucks but everything else felt like a pretty natural rampup
I'm on NG+3 and using lighter armor but base is still worse than any other Souls game by far. Max vigor, dedicated talisman slots, heavy armor, and crab makes me feel as durable as an average DS1 character.
Pretty sure the scale stays the same for all those areas. Banished knights in Farum hit as hard as the ones in Castle Sol.
Expect Wolverine bossfight with frieza forms
No I didn't give a shit about Radagon being the elden ring, but Radagon and Marika revealed to be sharing bodies was the true kino for me.
You find that out earlier on if you do Goldmask's quest
Yeah I fricked up and forgot to do it before completing the game.
I just furled my brow, summoned mimic and spammed bloodhound L2
Yeah, but I soi'd more when I fought Isshin for the first time tbh
watched a lore vid and still didnt care
i've never played this game. i've played demons souls before already like 4-5 times. kinda sick of these games
>Basedjaked
Anyone who uses this as a verb should drown themselves in hot oil
Godfrey was much more hype
I wish Elden Ring had more cutscenes. It's obviously a deliberate choice to have less since 3, Sekiro, & now ER have only used them for major bosses, but I do miss the characterization those little movies gave otherwise unremarkable bosses like Pinwheel or most things in DeS.
It has them for most of the important bosses
Radagon was a good boss, Greater Will fricking sucks and ruins the whole fight.
You mean Elden Beast?
yeah, that
you guys are butchering my beautiful english language
English is a shitty globohomosexual language.
Are you guys mentally ill or something
What is this all shazamdiscord troon coffin whatever shit
This doesn't make sense in the slightest, it's like the ramblings of a psycho in a mental asylum
Elden Ring just wasn't good.
