#Elden Ring (DLC hype room)

you can get into the backroom of the Specimen Area
there's two exits to the prayer area, one on the ground floor and one a floor up inside the big building
So I just run around until I find elevator
I think the one higher up is the one you need
uh, you can get to it by parkouring on the roof levels like you did before you drained the water, drop in the hole in the roof onto the rafters, and stay above the ground floor
there's a bridge in the north-east, I think
and an elevator there
||with the water drained, go to the second level of the church and find an elevator ||
||finger maximum?||
(Big boss spoilers)||just found the fucking mother of fingers, i do NOT like that||
||fucking Malenia said her second phase was true horror but i think this is infinitely worse||
Success, I think
Wait what there's a whole side area behind the dungeon behind dragon man?
pain
I tried that dungeon
Saw a magma wyrm was a normal enemy
and fucked off lol
oh yeah this is gonna be rough
scrble being the Punisher live on camera
HOLY SHIT
I.. wasn’t expecting that
get lady dimeterscu'd
I got tired of (boss) ||Putrescent Knight|| and busted out my Malenia cheese lmao
Mimic Tear with only a talisman plus shield with only ekzyke's decay and blood flies slotted
Got it, that was fast
i just got out the shield boys and spammed lightning
Omg it's the size of a zwei
Oh it's collosal (sad)
Friend bought ER for the first time today, gifted them the best level 1 gift ever: martial arts
also a funny hat cuz you cant be a sick martial artist without a funny hat
oh god
First try win on Rellana.
Slim da Strong
The lore for the hat is so funny
||the driftleaf sect uses these to physically prevent themselves from looking into other peoples eyes else they form a, god forbid, emotional connection||
YEAH
same
btw freyja hows it feel that someone in the dlc commited identity fraud on you
she kinda cool tho
maybe youre the fraud
YOU CAN SUMMON LEDA?
Gonna do a guts cosplay perhaps
But specifically the version of guts with the coolass hat from Golden Age
Guts has a hat?
Or
Do you mean his helmet?
Which
Have you read berserk?
Is just a cuirassier helmet with the hammered plume shorn off lol
No I have not
I have seen the Golden Age movies and have had the song memed to death to me
i may need to stop being a carian knight if this weapon is as cool as i want it to be
The one specific scene in Golden Age during the party where Griffith kills the queen
Huh, interesting
HUH? (spoilered message i found)
yeah, I left that area as soon as I got the map fragment
I'll come back, but it's too spooky
I have
(side quest spoilers)
||Figured St. Trina Out 👀||
||Get so high you die and can talk to them||
||drink deep and descend||
||Fight Scadutree Avatar, fight Bayle the Dread and fight Messmer The Impaler||
Oh shit with the feather?
Rogier Hat time
Oh I scrolled down. Yes!
Dryleaf is incredibly mozgus coded
||I need to fight the Hand Guy, the Lord of the Frenzied Flame, and Radahn||
At least I think those are the last three
I DODGED (boss move spoiler) ||CARIAN SOVEREIGNTY|| LET'S FUCKING GOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO
I really do not like the scorpion/spider things in the first dungeon/castle/thing. 0/10 would not recommend
There's a few more in some other places, as a warning
Not a lot
but they do pop up
Yeah the moment I saw those I knew someone would get Arachnophobia
I’m gonna say it buddy. Mohg sucks and I’m glad he’s dead.
Oh my god she’s so cool
i dunno, we dont get there until ||michael charmed him. maybe his dynasty of ritual blood sacrificers had some real good policies on infrastructure||
||Yeah he wasn't the best guy but Miquella did basically groom him, not the other way around||
Never used a collosal before, so this should be interesting
i respecced dex to str to use that fuckin sick ||lightning axe|| from the scorpion cave
||yeah Mohg’s crazy but in an inspiring kind of way that appeals to people who the Golden Order forced to eat shit. Turns out Miquella infected his brain with his own bad vibes||
||i would join worse religions if i was guaranteed massive fuckin wings at the end of it||
Explictly one of his strong points is that Mohg: Doesnt give a shit who you are, all are welcome to serve the dynasty of blood.
On the otehr hand, how he treats the Alburiancs is pretty fucked, and all the tarnished working for him are several screws loose at best, so
Do I even bother with 60 Vig?
How much can I afford to lose without getting too weak
55 Vig might be workable
Anyone have any tips for like, sealing the deal with ||Rellana|| for lack of a better word
i dont believe whoever said messmer has oppenings
My summon and Leda get me riiiiight there
And then they die
And I just can't keep up with her uh
undivided attention
You want at least 50, and 55 is a good compromise point in my mind
55 is even better if y ou're abusing rune arcs and Godricks rune
50 VIG is 1704 hp, 55 is 1814, 60 is 1900
Alright I've got 55/15/25/60/16/16/40/9
So you gain 110 hp from 50-55, but only 86 from 55-60
It's not nothing, 86 hp is a decent amount
Can't lose more int sadly, starting class
Major endgame spoilers ||man, i can’t believe Miquella blew up his own faction because he was desperately thirsty for Radhan||
Tag your spoilers peeps
:3
They're probably easier to exploit with evasive arts like raptor of the mists (I had dynasts finesse) but
Now let's figure out Ash Of War
Wing Stance is really nice because the leap is a jump
so it goes over anything that sweeps et
cotoh if you get hit inthe air you faceplant very hilariously
Any recommendations if I want to do as many swings as possible for a Collosal?
Stormcaller, Spinning Strikes, Sword Dance, Wild Strikes, Savage Lion's Claw
Collosal get absolute shit, I'm realizing
i stg if messmer forces me to respec
Savage Lion is good though
Oh, right
Gotta get some perfumes
Holy shit (Abyss spoilers) ||The Eye things are terrifying||
desperately need the madness boluses
this game is an actual horror game now
Or do y'all play PC
but they are annoying as fuck to craft
The Abyss is scary
OH MY GOD
||When I went to the Manse I went around the side because I was Frightened and only saw them from the back||
||I thought they were BIRDS for some reason||
||And I was like 'oooo, scary line of birds with frenzy flame eyes||
Very weird boss, that one
it was no match for ||Midra's Flame of Frenzy||
Okay so I feel like beating ||Rellana|| is now a battle of just
Executing
But I can’t rn I’m too hopped up lmao
i managed to ||take down the first phase of the boss with a SINGLE cast of Midra's Flame of Frenzy||
absolutely fucking INSANE
now i just need to kill ||Dread Bayle|| and i will be ready to go ||fight Messmer and unseal that tree||
||found out how to listen to St.Trina||
||also i may have uh, killed Thiollier||
Does anyone know how to get to the regions ||east of the shadow keep||
Particularly ||the big building shaped like an upside down t||
||Taking some more hits of the gamer girl bath water to commune with St.Trina||
||Jump down the hole in the Moor-something town||
Oh for gods sake
I was willing to put money on that being a suicide hole and you would just wind up ||getting into that cave from some other direction later||
(massive story spoilers)||"You must kill Miquella and grant him forgiveness", yeah i called that one fr||
||Me, Ansbach, and St. Trina shaking hands||
There's like one specific spot that you don't die
||I'm scared to go back to the final boss cause they keep kicking ym ass||
||fromsoft npcs when they learn you can forgive someone with words instead of killing them ->
||
||i think Miquella is beyond words at this point||
||Miquella is like, a groomer||
||like genuinely talking would be meaningless after Miquella divested themself of literally everything||
||as insane as that may sound given everything||
||like, Miquella even divested themself of their ability to feel love||
||that's pretty fucking bad||
||well, Miquella DID put a spell on literally all of their followers to compel their loyalty||
also
fighting ||Bayle again||
and ||Igon fucking screaming his hatred for Bayle is oddly motivational||
||Are you using the anti-Dragon Great Katana||
||Death Knight got hands.||
Well well well (location spoiler)
Good luck landing the fall
Does the DLC have eye alterations
Abyss Boss spoilers: ||the Midra fight might be my fave in the dlc so far, really cool fight, AMAZING music||
ok starting to do well against ||Dread Bayle||
i can do this
||BAYLE IS KILL LETS GO||
||now i only need to kill Messmer the Impaler||
||now it's just fucking Messmer left baby, it's TIME||
Where is the two-handing talisman
||the worst part is that his incel master plan ended up putting his sister through absolute hell||
||And making Radahn suffer a fate worse than death, then mind controlling him when his soul is put in a warped Mohg's body||
Well... (story spoilers)
F*ck
Also has anyone noticed the second text box that says ||And with it, a powerful charm||?
Go talk to Leda
Oh shit
||Mohgs corpse as a soulless shell??||
I..
My hope for a good ending is fading fast
I've learned something revolutionary
(weapon spoilers) ||beast claws get their own version of dynasts finesse as a weapon art||
Yeah
Okay who should I suggest lmao
||My faith in Miquella is crumbling. And I don’t like it||
Endgame spoilers ||turns out Mohg isn’t the worst demigod||
Thollier (quest spoilers, but not for the quest being discussed) ||is addicted to Lean alas 😔||
In retrospect this (endgame spoilers) ||revelation is entirely in-line with how the demigods are presented in the base game. Rykard is too good to be true, Mohg is too good to be true, even Our Exquisite Lady Ranni is pretty amoral and ruthless. Why should kind Miquella be any different.||
locked into fierce combat with ||Messmer the Impaler, he is beating my ass, but Dung Eater is helping||
||Radahn is still the OG though||
||the DLC even makes him.more of one||
||yeah, which is why at the start of the game he’s a near mindless beast who’s only coherent goal is desperately trying not to crush Leonard. If he were his paragon lucid self he’d have ruined the theme||
jfc ||Messmer's fucking combo's absolutely ruin my hp||
||and is mind controlled by Miquella when he gets brought back||
Wait
||yeah its debatable if he’s even conscious or if he’s more along the lines of one of Seluvis’ puppets||
This is a suggestion to level up your Scadutree Blessing
???
Idk god I’m having mixed feelings
I don’t wanna jump to crazed conspiracy conclusions
||doesn't seem too bad, how is that not too bad, they mention eternal war for him iirc it's pretty bad||
||revive radahn and turn him into a mind controlled or mindless puppet||
||“Sometimes dead is better”||
I can’t click that
dread it, run from it, greatsword and buffs arrives all the same
doing the same thing i did to defeat Malenia, going full monkey mod
Endgame spoilers ||the worst part is that this whole debacle is completely unnecessary. Even if Miquella needed an enforcer to be his Elden Lord equivalent then he already had the most dangerous killstick on the planet in the form of Malenia. The whole song and dance with Mohg and Radhan is in essence a childish tantrum from a man who is entirely unaccustomed to having his every whim catered to||
god does anyone know how to get up to the stone archer in the ruins
|| I wonder if Malenia marched against Radahn because Miquella picked him instead? ||
||Miquella specifically ordered Malenia to kill Radahn||
||i think the plan was to have her assassinate him so Miquella can then put his soul in Mohg’s body. Except she failed to actually kill him and instead murdered an entire region for nothing. ||
||Given how Malenia is described as having a lot of dignity and restraint i wouldn’t be surprised if Miquella had a hand in pushing her to lose control||
||Yeah, taht;'s what I recall reading. Just forget from where.||
man ||Messmer is so fucking difficult||
he ||punishes any fucking dodge fail so fucking harshly||
||he gets one combo off and it's just over||
Contiuining the endgame dlc spoilers ||Miquy also thrwos away everything that makes him remotely human, and that includes any real chance of growing up past being the eternal child that he is. He's still just a kid in how he's acting, in a very naive my way or the highway brutality||
Also, i'm mildly grumpy. Writeu p a short effort post on why Elden RIng's camera is bad.
Someone in reply. "I think you're overthinking this. It's bad because it's bad"
just
...No, things are bad for reasons
They arent just bad because they're bad!
I have confirmed this has I-frames, am no maxing out a set of beast claws
They also have a heavy attack cancel move, like Heavy thrusting sowrds and curved swords
Killed the ||fuckoff big read bear||
OMG
Neat!!!
Also backhand blade's default weapon art? Has iframes.
You can literally iframe through and nothing personal kid people
It's a ripper kick, cool as hell
||bear communion time||
|| he also threw away the part of himself that actually managed to achieve helping the downtrodden, while the high and mighty Miquella The Empyrean persona has nothing to show for all his grand scgemes it other than a rotting imitation of the Erdtree||
still trying to make it past ||Messmer||
I have now made bear drip
Nice
LETS GO
I GOT ||FUCKING MESSMER||
GET OWNED
||KNIGHTS LIGHTNING SPEAR GOATED||
also ||Flowerstone Gavel FUCKS in combination with it||
||that debuff against Lightning damage is INSANE||
Need to find that spell now that I have more FAITH
||i defeated Messmer first try as soon as i put it on and i had 7 healing left and Dung Eater just barely had like a fourth of his health left||
this is a fucking CRACKED combo
Its sort of fascinating how that happened; in the words of something related, || st trinas "divinity is a cage, please kill and forgive miquella" hits hard ||
ok, time to ||burn that sealing tree behind Church of the Bud!||
Lost Sinner drip
got the Carian blade dancer drip(spoilers for remembrance boss armor)
so fucking happy i managed to win
Fuck wait ur right
i just haven't got there
I'm really curious what the fuck the point was of the that, given what we know now
@junior spade oh fuck I think I know what happened to ||the others from Marika's village||
genuinely have no idea where to go in ||Belurat||
||I believe she sacrificed them to achieve godhood, would be my guess||
Nah
yeah nah
The lore items dont support that
def not it i don't think
Hit me with your revelation Eso
excellent question
a) ||some ghost npc in Bonny Village says something like 'nigh-sainthood awaits you in the jar. that's the lot for you shamans.' Marika is from the Shaman Village||
b) ||description for the Greatjar headgear: "Attire of the shamans who perform their worship at gaols. (...) They offer their prayers to the innards of the greatjars, such that they might be reborn one day into sainthood. This is the cycle of death and rebirth, taken into the hands of mortal men."||
c) ||description for the Tooth Whip, which inflicts poisoned wounds: "As the wounds ripen they grow inflamed and ooze pus. The flesh of shamans was said to meld harmoniously with others."||
Oh no
my theory is
||originally the Shamans were just performing rites for the jar process, but then somebody had the idea to just use them directly||
Waste not want not
Neither have i no worries
it could've been done ||by, or at the behest of, the Hornsent of Belurat/the Spiral Tower. they're super obsessed with the Crucible and evolution, and the whole Living Jar thing is 'the cycle of death and rebirth, taken into the hands of mortal men.' that could be why Marika ordered her Messmer to commit such a hideously violent purge against them.||
also, tiny note from an item you get for defeating Messmer:
just a single sentence
Im digging it
||black keep church district?||
||"Messmer, much like his younger sister, bore a vision of fire."||
So, sorry, I'm struggling to understand:
You're suggesting the Hornsent:||basically genocided Marika's people?||
Yes
||MUCH LIKE HIS YOUNGER SISTER||
yes
YEAH
Wait does this lead to the ||abyss||
||That won't be a sea monster for long||
||its fuckign melina||
|| AND HER OPPOSITE EYE IS THE SPECIAL ONE ||
Yeah, if ||Melina isn't his twin/sister I'd be surprised. Even share the eye seal. If messmers had the snake, what did Meli have?||
||Melina has to be the younger sister||
I’m scared I want to help people and fix everything
But I don’t think I’ll be able to
The DLC ending is considered the true ending right
Itll be okay scrble
Nah its not the story ending, thats still like, beating radagon and stuff
This is a weird side thing
hah
So you can still fix the elden ring how you like it
He is, yeah, he's got a lot going on
What would I even be fighting for at that point
Uuuuh idk to play vidya game i guess
Hmm
But again I think labeling the driving forces in elden ring as good/bad isnt helpful, its all very complicated and multi-faceted
everybody has their own idea of what's good
To make a better world is what you'd be fighting for.
Of the endings in the base game, three seem solid - Golden Order, Duskborn and Stars
Dancing Lion down first try.
Though I'm suspicious of GO
LET CHAOS! TAKE! THE WORLD!
man i really should switch off milady so i can experience all the new shit in the dlc
but it’s so fun
I like milady but she just doesn't hit hard enough and these shits have too much poise/hyperarmor
defeated dancing lion first try lmao
Bleed milady rules tho 100%
Can I get some summon support on Storehouse, Fourth Floor, in the Black Keep?
after i defeated ||Messsmer||
Also yeah, Dancing Lion was surprisingly easy
Is there any good faith weapons
yes
Unable To Summon Cooperator
Goddamn it
I found a pair of faith axes i really enjoyed
I really hope they patch this to be better, the summons are horrid
Pray tell
Catacombs to the left of castle ensis, from the boss
made it to (big progression spoilers) ||Enir Ilim||
i have formed a thesis that ||the Miquella is the reason Haligtree sucks so much because Enir Ilim is just as foul with its enemies||
also it's really funny that ||Rellana has dual blade SoNaF||
Sword Of Night And Flame but it committed mitosis
Sword of Night and Sword of Flame
Has anyone also found (location spoilers) ||Rannath’s Rise||?
Thanks
Is it the flooded. Church
Hm?
You'll see
I mean idk if I will cuz idk what the puzzle solution is lol
Puzzle solution: ||the key to unlock the spirit spring in behind a hidden wall within the tower||
Nah, youll be in the right place when you get past firebombing soliders and enter The Fog
I have achieved DRIP with this character, Inquisitor Trila
Dane Hat is so fuckin cool
Why the hell does Messmer sound so incomprehensibly bored when he kills you
Like dude... not cool
Oh I found that already
There's a statue that requires a certain gesture
Yeah I never cracked that one. Don't have the gesture in question
oh good lord ||radahn|| is fast
Ok so ||Messmer|| actually seems pretty fair so far. Probably has a phase two to fuck me up with though
this DLC is so fucking crazy
it's so wild to experience it blind
the only complaint i have is that Miyazaki is hiding the fucking incantations from me
honestly i like the second phase more
no wonder i couldnt figure out how to get to the ruins of unte
another nickle for barely visible paths
Still waiting to potentially find the ||Mohg-like enemy and potentially Radahn in Enir Ilim||
I just got there
But it ||seems like the finale area of the DLC||
hit the wing stance heavy attack and win
Fuck that stupid fucking hippo.
Correct
Also ||Rellana's swords are honestly super fun||
The GOAT of the DLC so far has been ||knights lightning spear||though
Absurdly good
I’m trying to get it
MIYAZAKI YOU MADMAN I KNOW WHY YOU CALL THEM GREAT KATANAS I SEE YOUR TRICKS
💖 807 🔁 145
Is it near the waterfall
||Knights Lightning Spear is in the Scorpion River catacomb||
sadly i’m too unga-pilled if i invest a single point into faith or int i might just die instantly
If you wanna go grab it
Sad
the move set is bangin tho
Im not at my pc but its outside the castle, i rode my horse left of the castle
i might take some points out of vig to make a fun carian built
I can't wait to beat ||Rellana|| with my main character who is a Cold sorcerer
does the ash scale with faith and int?
i assume the flame is faith and the wave beam is int
I NEED her ||Moon incantation||
real
Especially cause my main character is a Carian cold sorcerer
So that spell would fit PERFECTLY with her moveset
I see
jesus C scaling across the board i might actually have to pick that up
man i just got fucking edge guarded
How did you get edge guarded in a game with no ledge grabs
i was jumping across a gap and the fucker on the other side sniped my mid air so i lost all momentum and plumeted

those dumbfuck crossbow dudes with their slow bolts fucked me up more times than i’d like to admit
Marth just shows up and sword tips you trust me my dad works for miyazaki
it was one of those jeff goldblum in the fly bastards
Ah, it all makes sense now
fun fact
Thanks for clearing that up discord user myrrduck
theres an eastern nameless mausoleum
Whitegaol Knight
Yup
I gave ||midra|| a few tries
Funnily enough my best attempt was with the beast claws
They are very awkward feeling but actually legit
But
I will save him for later I think
He may be a bonus boss
Very cool boss
Indeed!
Also the eastern nameless mausoleum has some of the coolest armor in the game, I'm in love
Which is unfortunate because ||it also makes you take way more damage||
I used one of the items you can get from that boss to absolutely destroy another one
do or die ho
yeaaah :((( it’s so sick looking
but i already get like 3 shot by everyone so i’m not tryna make that worse
||was it spamming weed cutter against an NPC||
||I've been noticing that their AI breaks when you just||
||Keep spamming fast vertical swipes||
||See: Wing Stance R1 spam||
On the other hand
If you are already constantly getting 3 shot
Perhaps you should open your mind to violence and constantly get 2 shot instead
the kamehameha may have gotten even better
||i killed a full phase of the Scadutree with one of Midra's items, was absolutely crazy shit||
i love wing stance it’s so fun to just fling yourself over attacks
||not only that, it was the first phase||
||Oh! I thought you meant eastern mausoleum, not midra||
What is wing stance
||you can very realistically kill the Scadutree with three incantation casts||
Tell me. Is Messmer a single healthbar boss, or a double bar boss
single
Thank god
||i just used Knights Lightning Spear||
Gotta say
god’s gift to the light greatsword, it puts you into a stance that lets you jump over shit and do crazy damage
Spear incantations in fromsoft games go too hard
Where did you get wing stance
Also it doesn't specify, I imagine it at least affects weapon arts though
Were I doing quality rather than Arcane I'd be rolling around with Granssax's Bolt, Alexander's Shard, and Radagon's Icon (maybe lightning scorpion charm) and just shooting people with a railgun before they aggro
It's in a tower in Ensis Castle, from the boss checkpoint
Pulling a bolt of lightning or sunlight or whatever out of the air and throwing it is so fucking cool
I just wish it had an Incantation equivalent honestly
Granssax itself looks a lil silly
|| at the grace before rellana, go out to the balcony and go left, follow the path and there’s a ladder (i think) that you climb to get it||
Ill have to go re-explore
Bolt of Granssax being dex always kills me dead
Also ||Bayle's incantations are fucking Arc kill me please||
Oh goddddd ||WHAT ARE THEY DOING TO THE JARS||
dragon comunion moment
||it took me so many tries to kill Bayle and i got nothing from it basically||
Same lmao
FUCK THE STOREROOM I HATE IT
Only the ||Dragon Man transformation item i guess||
my dragon build is going in next and is gonna have a hell of a time
I haven't used it yet
i imagine its similar to the last 3
THIS WAS NOT A HAPPY TIME
||Ancient Dragon Man is still hilarious||
What are ||Messmer's weaknesses||
Also. Do consumables refund when you're a summon?
now have all the maps except for the middle right
yet to fight a single major boss still lmao
fun fact that middle right part is obtuse as hell to get to if you dont see it the first time
yeah I'm still trying to figure out how to get there
do you want a hint
Sure
yeah sure
theres a big ass tower to the south east of the plateau
check by that
its in the shadow keep for one,
check buy the boats REAL carefully
||Suppressing Pillar?||
yep its real close to it
FOUND THE KNIGHT
Adventure Time
@junior spade
oh interesting
I've mostly been staying out of the legacy dungeons for now
just roaming around and gathering some scadutree fragments
I am at level 7 blessing now
Any hint on what I should be looking for?
its below the tower
also side note
what's with the DLC and constantly giving out like low to mid level upgrade materials
it's just weird
for new weapons
I guess
but I can just buy smithing stones too
if you have the bells yeah
i got a royal flush
I like the incantations but maybe the axe ash of war is fun
Can someone convince me to do melee as a person who disdains physical combat and has a poor leg
I play mages constantly
Can't find anything 
I have yet to find a single new sorcery I think
I used guides
okay no that's not quite true
I did find one of the necromancy ones
Found one incant by accident
My immediate thought was to send the elevator up and see if there's something in the pillar, but nothing
Do you eventually get the same ones the Flame Knights use
theres that big building you can see above the plateau to the east
Then I checked the immediate area around the pillar, still nothing
Theres a whole merchant youll find uuuuuh Eventually
The ign list is incomplete
How many Miquella themed incantations can you get?
IGN lists only like six new incantations in total
Ive found uh... a small handful
And the wiki is still in progress
I've seen a few Miquella incants
I found Multilayered Ring Of Light on a Leonine Misbegotten in Stone Coffin Fissure
I got that one
Pretty cool spell
And the floating skull
I like Ring of light
I hope they didn’t just add five new incantations
That would suck majorly
I cant confirm cuz i refuse to wiki rn but i saw inadvertently theres A Lot
||"the spectral steed is frightemed"|| TF DOES THAT MEAN FROMSOFT
||Leda please don’t do this||
YEAH
HAVE FUN
||Theres more to life than fervor||
||LEDA YOU DONT HAVE TO KILL MIQUELLA WOULDNT WANT THAT||
Its worth it tho its got such a cool area ending
I'm excited to find out just what the fuck is up with Miquella
Especially (major story spoilers)||after St.Trina asked me to KILL Miquella||
|| "Divinity is a cage" is fun ||
||Not just that but kill and forgive Miquella||
i cant not go
unless its absolutley fucking terrifying
Something fishy is going on in Denmark so to speak
Hmm
I still need to fight the Putrescent Knight
Just can’t get how to fight him though
It's looking to be interesting as fuck
dont silksong me
Go grab ||Knights Lightning Spear|| and use it, it gets ||extra damage cause the Putrescent Knight is in water||
It worked a treat for me
Practically committed bird genocide in my search, still no answer
I used sacred + saved mimic tear till next phase
How fuckin obscure is this
Holy damage worked?
Thats what I used
What are you looking for?
I can’t fight the lion properly either
What Lion
The deathblight BODIES me
So I found (boss) ||Gaius||
Knights spear is locked behind fighting the second Divine Lion right
No
use torrent and a big weapon
Not at all
It's cool that he's v obv an homage to Twilight Princess Ganondorf
it makes it so much more fun
It's not even the same place
Correct!
Jump Attacks Are Good here
close enough,||WELCOME BACK WINTER LANTERNS||
Because I haven’t gotten the map for that area yet
Go here
How do you get down there?
That is an excellent question
I can explain tomorrow when im not on my phone
Moorth ruins i think
Eeehh, I have scoured the entire surrounding area of the tower multiple times, and found absolutely nothing
You gotta go to Moorth
I'm beginning to lose hope
I'm fairly sure
What are you looking for
Which tower, Ballistic?
Some secret passage near Suppressing Pillar
You're kidding me
It's the dragon pit?
oh yeah
Why didn't you tell me that 
that isnt the only mini dungeon that leads to a whole ass area in this game
Half the dungeons lead to random massive areas
i figured if you found it you would explore it
I tried lol and got scared off by skeles
use holy
Round two I suppose
they HATE HOLY
Honestly its a very cool way to incentivize exploring
When in doubt: just run fastz
Yup

Was just throwing ahit at the wall until something worked
Alright I already hate this place
My +24 holy greased flame knight colossal Greatsword is doing basically nothing
did you pick up sacred blade
What are you fighting
the dragon skeletons
A big cleaver skeleton, literally the first guy in the dungeon
thats at the end of the dungeon
i had a hammer so holyy it 2 shot them
Fight7ng skelly boys is ass
Thanks
I just ran past most of them
🫡
I found the way to the boss door by employing the holy technique of exploration by suicide
It's gonna be fucking weird going back to finish the base game after this i think
Ancient Dragon Man, huh?
Probably going to try to actually beat whatever the hardest boss ends up being solo
I've just been using Dung Eater and Mimic Tear for every boss
But i gotta get the flex of beating them solo
read above
loool
my favourite guy
I am the #1 ||Ancient Dragon Man|| fan
Best character in the dlc easily
Why does he have hands
He's ancient
|| Ancient Dragon Stan ||
Man just slapped the shit outta me
eh im just an ancient dragon fan
Is he a meme because he's hard
Just the name
I was struggling to get him down to half, and then he fuckin flasked
its just the name yeah
Nothing else
stagger lock him
I think i beat him first try
truly he is a die hard man
Man has ridiculous tankiness
He has some Lore
That you WILL need
stormbreaker is thors big fuck off axe
Later being (Boss spoilers)||The Dread Bayle||
dont foregt the ||3 CONSECUTIVE DRAGONS||
My second favourite character of the DLC so far has to be ||Igon||
||Four if you count the ancient one||
i wasnt counting the one basic bitch with no boss bar
you can just let em fight it out
|| Hornsent || was goated for this too
i need to watch a playthrough so i can actually pay attention to him
same with the || gang fight boss||
||When you summom Igon he immediately starts screaming at Bayle at the top of his lungs and telling Bayle how much he hates him and that he will eat his heart and shit||
It's so fucking cool
also ||taylew the golem smith|| is a goated spirit ash
Igon is gonna stop moaning when I beat ADM right?
Iunno, he might
Igon is my second fave char atm
I beat him hell yeah
man messmers orb is such a fun spell
Oh this is just dragonbarrow 2
and mt gelmir
Got it @frozen olive thank you
A dread one
👍
Welcome to my new favourite spell in the game
A monster hunter fight shoved into a fromsoft game.
||fatalis if he locked in||
This isn't actually true but it sure has the vibes of it.
(Bayle)||He's missing a leg, both hands and he's still an absolute fucking monster||
Ok what
Is Bayle ||the size of the dragon by the communion alter||
(Bayle)||BAYLE STILL HAS ONE OF PLACIDUSAX HEADS BITING HIS NECK WHAT THE FUCK||
||wait do I get to become a full on dragon holy shit||
oh wow the full works huh
||what do I do||
||decrepit mansion, ghosts, diary pages||
strip
(More Bayle spoilers)||Bayle is such a fucking UNIT||
||and he only has one intact limb||
Ok I don't think ||I become a full on dragon||
more evidence that er is ds4
cause every souls game has had that item in one way or another
lol, lmao, he one shot me
the grab?
the grab
cant tech a command grab
Bayle is a fucker
(affectionate)
And stupidly cool
Bayle(rion) the (Black) Dread
I have gotten my mitts on the dueling shield
It is impressing me more than I thought it would
I know that theres ||an int scaling one with 100% phys guard|| somewhere in this labyrinthine DLC, so I think once I find it on my main char I'm gonna get the DLC started with my int char and run to grab it
Use that for their playthrough
It takes a certain kind of monster to ||fight an Elden Lord 1v1 like that||
did you mean: the majority of this dlc
(Even more Bayle spoilers)||Bayle seems to have gotten the shorter end of the stick but he still removed several of Placidusax heads which is mad impressive||
fun fact
the dragon hunting blade is REALLY good for hunting dragons
wait is he a rykard type boss
no but it helps alot
noted
As it turns out
The anti-dragon weapon is actually what it advertises itself as
Just like the ||Ancient Dragon Man||
Dlc has been incredible so far
Met a guy ||without a spine|| and i actually ||had his spine|| which was really funny
Sucks to be that guy
I did also kill that guy and ||take his replacement spine||
bogo
hmm, i hate that you cant target bayles feet and torso
Found Bayle
wait is it ||nanayas torch||
The ascent of jagged peak was, pardon the pun, ABSOLUTELY PEAK
||yes lol||
||Stole Midras spine then beat his fucking shit in and stole his new spine and all his lunch money||
Nah i was there ages ago
Already cleared that place out
It rules
I found it
It looks VERY cool, def running it with my int char
I GOT IT
Yay
no do it
Good luck
the weapon is cool af at the end
(weapon spoilers) ||HOLY SHIT ITS INFUSABLE||
||ALERT ALERT, NEW INFUSABLE WEAPON WITH EXISTING ELEMENT||
Yo??
defeated hippo, so I could progress through Shadow Keep a little
and oh boy, I get to travel by coffin again
ah you found it
OH
Literally stopping my quality playthrough to go get into the DLC with my int char for this
THIS LIGHTNING IS COOL
yeah I assumed this is what you meant
Good luck
oh the ||madness build up|| is gonna be rough
It's ||in the loft of the Specimen Storage place||
Also uh
Location spoilers
What in the sweet fuck
Ye, just found it!
||Fingies||
||prepare for the DLC level fingercreeper boss||
its elden ring
Further location spoilers ||I am dreadfully aware of my mortality thinking about what could kill this thing||
it always ||fingies||
Yall
Without spoiling it a lot
Is it so far as grimdark as I think
Or is it kinda hopeful
i know narratives
It's going to be fairly sad i think
40K is the most popular grimdark
So
Based on all available data that i have found, it's looking a bit grim
Quest spoilers? ||If I partake of the dragon essence like this lady wants me to, do I get transported to fight Bayle?||
No
this is fromsoft, youre almost always underpowered
An ancient one maybe...
im not sure how i feel about bayle :l
the targetting being head only is fucking so hard with me
hes big enough you can free cam it
I can get Bayle to phase 2 but not further, hes an aggressive fucker
i got through it by him not using the flying breath sweep
and the poise breaker hard tear
So question Freyja, does going through ||Jagged Peak and past the dragon communion altar|| get me to the new lightning spell?
Motherfucker
By going through I meant I'm headed west and seem to be looping north
The last area I got to is called ||Charo|| something or other
Sadly no
free camming him means its like 10 times harder to dodge his attacks 
ill just ignore him for now
i mean switch on free cam when going for the swing
ill just ignore him for now
when looking for one specific thing yeah
head to this bit of cave on the plateau
I did the same
I fought 4 hard bosses back to back
right now im stuck between a ||gravity place, a finger place, and a frenzy place||
(Massive boss spoilers)||Midra Lord of Frenzy, Scadutree Avatar, Bayle the Dread and Messmer The Impaler||
goodness
Theoretically you can kill it entirely with 3 casts of the spell
Since ||the phase i killed it with one cast was the first one||
that is much more reasonable but still impressive
It's incredibly strong
Okay, got the (weapon) ||carian thrusting shield|| on my int char
That runthrough really did show me how dense the DLC is
Cuz I basically went to the whole other side of the map in a few minutes
that 5 limgraves on itself wan't lying
that shit shook me first time
okay I got all the maps now
wtf is ||Abyssal Woods||
probably gonna fuck off from there for now
:)
also can't believe there is another wholeass area behind some random side dungeon
that side dungeon itself in a semi secret area
@frozen olive I have found the way I must take to get to the Knight's Lighting Spear
Location spoilers ||"The Fissure"|| totally isn't super fuckin ominous
Holy fuck
location spoilers ||They did the Siofra reveal, but again||
||And with no loss of impact||
Oh my GOD the ||Carian Thrusting Shield|| is good
I just clowned ||Moonrithyl|| like nothing else
It has 76 guard boost
So if you two hand it (why would you not two hand it) nothing will break its guard ever
I was casually eating jumping heavies from a colossal GS
And it has guard points
Before the attack for heavies, and after the attack for lights
So that annoying thing that happens, where you land an attack but the dude armors through and floors you? Does not happen
Genuinely like
A New Way To Play Elden Ring
God damn this thing feels good
Landing guard points is SEXY
I am, in fact, uploading a video to youtube as we speak to show folks here what I mean
It's like backwards sekiro
NEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEERD
XD
Also
(boss spoilers) ||Putrescent Knight|| is certainly a boss
Tell me I'm wrong though
Tell me the breath did not leave your lungs at that double overhead guard point
I didn't really want Orphan of Kos but a derp machine on a horse with a saw made of teeth, but
Oh I was commenting on your build
Oh I see I see
Funny fact
Until I got this I was doing 33 str/dex 80 int
I am now doing 60 str, 50 dex, 35 int
Cuz infusing it gives it worse guard stats
oh my god does that light have guard frames?????????
And its scaling is C/C/D
what the fuck??????
Its such a fun weapon
Theres a reason Ive been hyping it to thin air for like an hour
holy shit i should get that
Also: That boss annoyed me lmao
I eventually busted out the mimic tear with only incantation seal cheese
It's so fucking stupid looking that fact actively interferes with me fighting it
