I might need to go back to just beating motherfuckers with a huge club/hammer. This playthrough I’ve been all about dex weapons and dodging, which has been fun, but I’m ready to mix it up.

I wasn’t able to play for a few days, but last night I switched to a big fuckin’ hammer, and without a respec or changing my play style all that much, I was finally able to beat Rellana.

Did some respecing foe the backhand blades to basically give myself the arcane needed to proc the bleed quicker and I be tearing through things right now 

 

Backhand blades might be my favorite weapon in the game. Smith'd them all the way up to +25 and like you said, just absolutely tearing everything to shreds. The blind spot weapon art is sooooo satisfying to use on those enemies with long attack animations. Just dash around mid attack and back stab those bastards.

By chance do you remember how many runes any of the bosses dropped? Final boss is 500,000 for NG, but each NG+ cycle increases the amount. I feel like the game was bugged for my NG+ playthrough.

Toward the end of this DLC they were dropping around a 600K I believe. This, of course, not as amazing as it sounds by the time you are over level 300.  Each level costs 1.25M at my current level.

First boss back after playing FFXIV. Performed poorly.

 

Next boss I fucked hard.

 

Bayle took me longer than I thought it would.

Took like 10 tries before I realized I should just stop trying to use my shield.

Did really well until I needed that final hit. Shameful display.

 

lol

 

That notice in the middle of the fight really fucked me up and you can tell

 

Messmer was another lesson in stop blocking all the time and actually dodge.

Two shameful deaths to greed. Kill @13:19

I beat the DLC and poked the final boss to death with a bloody bone fork.

 

 

You litteraly did just poke him. That looked so intimidating to me but great job!

The all attempts version

Kill sarts a 9:00

It might look that way, but all I am doing is holding block and spamming the attack button. With spears and a few other poking weapons, you can attack while guarding. My spear deals high bleed and is OP.

Also DLC is greater than the base game. Easier than the base game with the Fragments. I give it an 8.9/10

Three things that lower the score.

  1. The tree fragments are great, shame that there are only EXACTLY 50 so you have to either search like a motherfucker or use a map to find them all.
  2. The Furnace Golems. Not fun. Not hard. Very tedious. Some require special throwing items to kill and I hate that a lot.
  3. Music was pretty weak. Base game had this issue too. I even said so in a review post.

8.9 from you is very good.

Agree 100% with the Golems. They could have been much cooler. I don’t hate the regular ones but the ones where you HAVE to throw stuff to kill them are BS. 
 

Also agree that the music was fine. But when I think of what the music added to a game like FFXVI, man what a missed opportunity.

Not sure. Haven't heard of it before. Perhaps it was a crackdown on cheaters and thinks you cheated. 🤷‍♀️

 

I looked it up. 

 

"FromSoftware acknowledges that an issue has been identified regarding the PC Version of ELDEN RING

The message "Inappropriate activity detected" may appear without cheating. To fix this issue, please verify the integrity of the game's files before restarting the game.

We apologise for the inconvenience."

Yeah they recommended you do that after the latest patch as well. I do it on occasion because one time I played and the texture was stretching over the camera. I verified the game files and it fixed the problem. :p

 

I'll YouTube how to change the files. I absolutely need to have online accessible for me in order for me to succeed in this game.
