you should be using keen in general anyway
i would recomend finding the bloodhound fang
with bloodflame blade
i have it
yeah bleed infusion is bad on anything that has bleed innately because its just always better to do keen or occult
i did my first playthough with bloodhound fang
you could use bloodhounds fang but, not to sound like a souls elitest, its really boring. the weapon is good and i did beat the game with it the first time but its boring.
it is boring but for first playthough its good
any weapon is good on a first playthrough
i dont have enough faith for that
bloodhound fang is just overrated
it doesnt matter for this fight specifically
respec after the fighrt
Hi guys new guy here don't know if i'm in the right channel but i seek for help i'm desesparate at this point . I wanted to do a new playthrought so i installed Elden Ring back but the think is i keep getting the same error from Easy-anti-cheat which is that
oh i can't put a screen there
try verifying the game files on steam
but it's msvcp140.dll
i did everything i can verify on steam / reinstall Microsoft Visual C++ from every year / uninstall reinstall on new folder idw to do else
#1392662108176384020 scan through this for any fix you havent tried
will do even tho i think im not on his level
So I just killed renalla with bloodhound fang, what weapon should i get next and what aow should i add?
you cant change the skill
what weapon class do you want to try
I mean on the next weapon
Melee, but not heavy heavy weapons
you can decide on smth through this
But level wise?
wym level wise
I only just beat renalla, arent some of these weapons endgame/hard bosses
majority of these you can get now
What do you recommend? sorry i know nothing abt the game
this list is probably of more use
Like smth that can get me to most of endgame
any weapon can do that easily
hmmm what u think of uchigatana?
how do I get it?
deathtouched catacombs
The uchi is better than the the nagakiba?
yes
lower requirements and more damage
kiba has more range but that doesnt mean much in pve
hm
i always assumed the range was better, even in pve
idk maybe its just me but ive grown so used to the range that i prefer the nagakiba
kiba is objectively better in pvp for its moveset and range
pve ur pretty much in the bosses face for 80% of a fight
@simple totem you're a goat thanks man it was a problem with microsoft visual but the all in one package from the page you gave me works thanks a lot !!!
Thanks @regal orchid
@simple totem Look look! the stats look PERFECT
the swords need 18 and 22
and the rest is just peeeeerfect <3
I started rannis quest where do I go now after speaking to her?
yeah true
I guess my idea came from fighting malenia, where that extra length really did come to use in terms of spacing her
what did she ask you to do?
Yo ngl I forgot
I had to speak to 3 people
and they all said meet me somehwere
yeah, seluvis, blaidd, and iji
Yea
they should be in the tower
I spoke to all the because they were in the same building then spoke to her again
now what
you should pay attention to what shes saying yk
what did she ask of you
Bro idk last thing she said im going to sleep or something
did she say something about retrieving a blade?
She doesnt mention a blade but she does mention the treasure of Nokkron
yeah that or radahn
Give that step a google ideally
If you dont wanna be fully guided, start by checking the red mark left on the map after killing Radahn
she asked if I wanna serve her
honestly i find that elden ring isnt that cryptic w/ quests
you can figure it out with a little bit of thinking
I haven't reached this radahn where is he
did you say yes
yes
caelid
South*-eastern Caelid
someone mark it plz
dude you havent even explored east limgrave
go there asap
Hah
take arc down to 80 put the spare points on dex
id also lower end for 25 faith
and go even further east than that, and you'll know you're in Caelid when the sky turns to blood
why faith? :o
Alr
golden vow and flame grant me strength
mhhhhh naaaah i hate setting up
if you dont want to use buffs its fine to ignore but ur missing out a good amount of damage
thats fair
this procedure takes less than 10s
10s of torture
Procedure is bad enough
If using a seal to buff keen weapon with blood flame/ electrify, is it necessary to upgrade the seal to +25?
The added damage of the fire from bloodflame and lightning from electrify will scale with the faith stat of your seals incant scaling, so upgrading will increase it
So basically use whichever seal has highest faith scaling?
yh
for bfb it doesnt matter as much
the fire scaling is poor and u pretty much only use it for the bleed buildup
Why cant i join vc
I came back, did my first try with that new build against her, and she dead..
that build is too op against her i feel bad
good jobđ
I am a pro now

might be the first time the doc has actually helped someone 

Yo I have a question about save files, can someone help me?
I beat her again!!! :D
malenia is so so so easy now wth
if anyone needs help with malenia, this is my build now its amazing and so so so so easy to slap her dead
an ash of war spawned but i couldnt kill it and it disappeared how to i make it spawn again
@rotund heath pls dont make a channel against bots..
I cant resist.. I always have to type something in there D;
welp RIP to you then o7
then dont type in there
if only it were that easy </3
got banned from every server where such a channel exists... the longing is too strong
Hey, I had a question. When the Switch 2 version of Elden Ring releases, how is the server going to set up trading items?
its active
Hey guys, if I left a character in Shadow fo the Erdtree DLC and refunded it to get a different game, when I buy the DLC back will I still have that character?
</3
yes, but thats mean
Can you not link your Nintendo account to discord?
I have no idea if that's even possible.
sorry
how do I get through that door?
is ERcord getting a honeypot :O
Climb the dragon
i did all that before :c
The lever is right above it
alrightii thanksi
Theres a staircase on the wall you get onto from the dragon/you can drop down from the balconey overlooking the gateway
guys nephelix loux doesn´t appear in the godrick throne room and i alr gave her the thing
have you done kenneth's quest?
who is kenneth
kenneth haight, he's found in limgrave
oh yeah i remember i did it yes
You also must rest at a grace in the altus plateu
oh no i dind´t fully do it
is greyoll's roar worth using?
for her to appear in the throne room?
Yes
oh i didn´t do that yet
i usually play elden ring to be summoned and help others, i have arc/dex build and i need more buffs
i also want to use fire or magma and ice dragon incantations but idk which ones are the best
Then I would wager that yes, it is likely worth using.
Magma wyrm spells are for damage and area control, the latter works only for pvp.
I would not recommend it for pve.
There are more potent sources of damage.
As for the mist dragon spells, these are useful, but not all enemies are possible to frostbite, and not all cooperators/hosts will use non-fire damage. As fire will disable the frostbite debuff, it loses a lot of value in that situation.
You will have to consider yourself what does better in each fight. If you arent holding many spells yet, I would add it to the arsenal.
aye thanks for the info, i wanna do all kinds of damage while keeping arc/dex build and ill use one incantation per boss + greyolls roar, the spells are kinda boring for me i wanna try dragon incantations they seem fun
do you mean the draggon commuion incants?
yeah
^they do massive damage if doine right but honestly are really not fun to use because of the long charge ups
long charge ups arent a problem for me, can you tell me how to increase the damage because i dont deal much damage with them now, what do they scale with?
2 things you can keep in mind are endure AoW swapping for the longer dragon com spells and using other spells
If youâre built for dragon com seal youâll have good spellbuff even without your passives. So you can still use generally good spells like catch flame or lighting spear
what matters is what seal you use, use the dragon communion one to boost the incants and iirc it scales with arc
i finished the game now im just being summoned to help so ill use them when boss isnt targeting me
maxed dragon communion seal and i have 70 arcane
and you don´t do much damage?
compared to the weapons, nope
can you share your build
blood milady, mohg spear
haligtree greatshield, dragon communion seal
varres mask
lord of bloods exultation, greatshield talisman, shard of alexander, dragoncrest greatshield talisman
for wondorous physick i use opaline hardtear that reduces dmg negation and whatever i need
40 str
70 dex
28 fai
70 arc
and i use golden vow for a buff
magma breath and theodorixâs magma are great damage dealers
do you own the DLC
yeah i own the dlc
i have theodorixs magna
roar tali, talisman of the dread, flockâs canvas talisman etc
wont i get one shot by many bosses then
i genuinely forgot i can switch talismans 
how much vigor
60
thatâs good
but i usually get summoned on high ng playtroughs
that should be enough tho
okay
shnrai, i have new playthrough
and i have the black whetblade and all the ash of wars
but i cant pick occult :d
any idea what i did wrong?
what skill is it
some dont allow all affinities
seppuku
trying to do the same like on my old malenia game
like this
I have +3 on my bloodhound fang, is it too late to switch to moonveil?
no you can get inf smithing stones through bell bearings
save for the last weapon upgrade
you can also respec at rennala once youve beaten her to reallocate your stats
how do i get bell bearings?
might need to double check it
uchi should have occult available when u use seppuku
bro ts so lategame
you dont have the whetblade
if you think you got it via means that cant be discussed here
u need to try it again
nooh i have it :o
uuh
it hasn't registered bc of how you got it
well yeah youre going to level up ur weapon throughout the game
so should i switch to moonviel
I dont understand how :cc
do you want to
dm
yay beat fire giant first try too with that build
Good job!
someone gimme a theme build
what is a theme build?
thanks thanks hehe <3
like a theme for a build, i meant build theme mb
gup
is the backhand blade weapon the only weapon in the backhand blade category, or are there more than one kind of backhand blade?
theres more
Anyone got any advice for a magic build
are they all in the land of shadow?
yea
ok
is rot a good build theme
its decent
far too short to be useful
how long is it again
bloodfang or moonveil to beat the game? I just got both
10 or 11 right
like 10 seconds lol
flip a coin
which is better tho
whats the best build against that gothskin duo?
bloodhound's fang is comparatively better but pick the one that's more fun
always whats better always the best
no creativity or desire to use whats cool
but its my first run so its hard
thats why im not asking abt fun
If you upgrade the weapon and have decent vigor, you'll be fine no matter what you use
do all katanas have that stun and stab move?
They can be scripted entirely with most setups provided you use sleep pots and a high source of stance damage
the what
i never used sleep pots, how do I use them or make them?
they go on their knees and u like stab them
oh a crit
yeah is it only katana
yes boss
how :3
the same way you would with the katana
click click click then heavy?
get a poise break
stand in the appropriate place
light attack
how do i get poise break
by just damaging them?
all hits deal poise damage yeah
some like unsheathe do more than others
oooh oki
thats probably why ur getting more poise breaks
up and to the side of the third church of marika
you'll get the crafting recipe
then you need to find trina lillies and mushrooms
and then? i throw at one of them? and he sleeps until I attack him again?
They sleep for a minute I believe, the general strategy is that you put both to sleep and then buff up and do enough damage to kill one before it can get up
hows ur malenia going @prime talon
he won
kk kk
nice i just finished mine too
I assume the mohg in Mohgwyn palace is the one you need to defeat to get the corresponding ps achievement right?
ye
for shardbearer mohg yes, there is another mohg achievement tho
Iâm missing mohg the omen?
correcto
shardbearer mohg and mogh the omen
Is it worth picking up bloodhound step just for waterfoul dance? Im doing an rl1 run and that move is the only thing killing me. I cant seem to dodge it
Question:
When should I stop leveling up ?
depends
if ur doing pvp 125 is a good point
pve it doesnt matter
Alright then
Im currently playing the DLC and stopped leveling up at lvl 150
Alright Tnx
Shouldnt be necessary
If you want a tool to make wfd easier to deal with, I actually suggest you farm for and fully upgrade a brass shield
With RL1 endurance (and soreseal of course) you can fully block the first and most difficult flurry and then just dodge in and to the right for the second one and walk backwards for the third
Otherwise, here's some examples of the most modern wfd dodge
exactly what i was gonna say
ok im tired of looking how do i get up to the area above and to the right of shadow keep
not the scadutree avatar area but the orange one with the long thing and the green area to the right of that
you need an emote close to bonny village and perform it on the right side where gaius grace is
infront of a marika statue
the o mother one?
first floor site of grace, go forward-left, left, and youll see an elevator
down the elevator, into the right corridor, straight, straught again until at large gate
ignore large gate and open small gate, cross bridge, congrats
ye
Ncakeđ
pretty sure theyre talking about rauh ruins no
no no
yako
How you
ouh
rauh ruins is west. they said right
wheres the gaius grace at
ohh right im stupid
you havent fought him? you need to go an alternate path trough shadow keep.
apparently not
well you need to go from the loft site of grace then
ive been trying to explore now that ive beat rhadan
you pretty much need to go inside from the other side of the keep
climv a bunch of chandeliers, jump down into an indoor balcony, rhen into 2 elevators
the prayer area or somewhere else?
were you already at the church of manus metyr?
you can only reach it from outside of the keep trough said entrance
i think so yeah
i drained the water in that area and explored anything i could
its in that area
an elevator i think
ok then, thanks
what does the nagakiba quest give u? people keep saying not to kill the npc right away
im pretty sure you wont loose out on anything importan. except an ash of war which is decent i guess. but the nagakiba is the best katana and thus one of the best weapons in the game so go for it if you want it
gives you nagakiba and his armor
best huh
neither the best katana nor even close to one of the best weapons in the game đ§ââď¸
its debatable bro. but in my opinion it is. imma go eat now so dont waste your time
typical sephiroth in discord again
it's not debatable when numbers exist
you can most certainly say it's your most favorite
Well only reason I heard about it in the first place is because everyone keeps saying its the best katana
disinformation is a powerful thing
people also say rivers of blood is gamebreaking
and that elden beast heals from holy damage
So what's the best katana then
i love rivers of blood
Statistically its uchi
ohh i play uchi and rivers of blood right now! :D
uchi will do marginally more damage for less stats and less range
you can hold left stick up for a few frames for less range* to not be an issue
Only situation in which I consider Naga > Uchi is a pure dex 2h setup
they are both extremely strong imo
my first time using uchi and rivers of blood and i beat malenia EASILY
any katana can be good
if you're playing perfect footsies where that naga range matters, i'd love to see your gameplay
nagakiba or rivers of blood
rivers of blood. its prettier
they'll all clear content easily
â
Double slash works well with Malenia specifically regardless of what katana its attached to
yah but so strongy
there are other, stronger setups, generally speaking, however
Overall bro which is better
and fire giant first try too
the one you like more
which one deals more dmg and swings faster
"it's not debatable when numbers exist"
they all swing the same
uchi will do marginally more damage for less stats and less range
i'm trying to instill the power of freedom, that whatever you choose you will do fine
you do not need use the best unless you want to tell the world you lack the skill to use anything else
woah poor feet
but if you're going to be headstrong and state falsehoods, numbers are there to say nonono
Maliketh is hard :c i dont like
in my first try I nearly won and now I dont even get 2nd phase </3
is parry build strong against maliketh?
you cannot parry maliketh outside his claw, which is not build dependent
the claw is very strong
this is considered an exploit and discussion is a nono here
Ok sorry
does that mean that speedrunning is also not allowed here?
you'll have more worthwhile discussions on the strategies used in speedruns not on this discord
speedrunning in general, cool
doing naughty things the namcops whine about, not cool
Damn, whoever wrote that comment is very handsome
You dont keep merchant bell bearings but smithing stone ones and whatnot stay
Crafting recipes also stay
good i hate losing stuff
Basically if it adds a new shop to twin maiden, it'll be lost
i had to do a quest with a finger i found someone named milk and i killed him yesterday and was able to start the dlc
i never used that finger before but i only hit him twice and he died.
i couldnt find the npc to kill
Ca someone help me
with what
elden ring
isn´t this the thing we need for the tower in liurnia and why can i not take it
because you get it from ranni
i think i had that it turned the building upside down
been a bit since i done that quest but thanks
i have no chance against maliketh what do I do
Yay rl1 malenia down, thanks to whoever gave me pointers, it wasnât a no hit but a win is a win
what is rl1
Rune level 1
what is that
Basically just picking wretch as your starting class and never leveling up once
uhhh ok ok ok, and weapon level?
Thats fine, as far as im aware leveling is the only restriction. Im not crazy enough to do that
ohy ok ok good job!
how does one reach the map for bayleâs area
i see no way down to where it is from any of the graces i have in that area
its in cerulean cost
wouldnt get to it from bayles area
may want to search it up
i always getting invaded
it's an npc invader, its a scripted event
i need help trying to recover a save file
for some reason steam cloud screw me and i lost 5 hours of progress
i googled and apparently with a .bak would be fine enough, im using a data recovery to get them back but they aint working
can you share a screenshot of your map
why max fps is 60
you can install mods if you wanna. some are lowk good
any recomnded?
i think its called elden ring fps unlocker its on github and super easy to install. unlock the framerate on nexus is prolly just as good if not better. havent tried it tho
mods prevent you from going on normal online, and discussion can get you shot by discord mods, just fyi
oh shi rly? didnt know thanks
where do I put it ?
in mods folder?
it's 60 fps because consoles barely get to that
dms maybe. before we get sniped?
sniped like charly kriky?
yee exactly
alr I dmed you
i cant screnshot for some reason
well you haven´t explored thjis area at all
maybe finisah that firsat and then just keep going in leyndell no? maybe the underground
the castle where you already have a marker would be a solid place to go
ok thanks
yeah i tried but hes annoying
is it possible to get more than 1 blood flame weapon enchant?
hes aggresive
try parries
hug his butt where he tends to shield slam, where you can roll that, rolling attack, and get back to his butt where he tends to loop it again
i didnt go further there
i will try tho thanks
only vigor for now?
that'd be best ye
40 ideally
Whatâs the Strength, Dexterity, and Arcane for?
str and dex is for nagakiba, unsure on the arc
Probably should put the arcane points into Vigor
I fixed my stats. I need 1 more faith.
Explore the map. Find things like Caves, Catacombs, and field bosses
Awesome.. youâll have enough for that last level in no time
Could always explore more side content. Or yes use some of the runes youâve found
my sword and bow are +10
Radahn Swords Raghhh âđŠđ¤
What?
I used those a lot my first play through
I like them and the aoe damage kills huge groups at once.
I like them bc they look cool
I just got the dlc last night
im going to find all the cookbooks before i go into the dlc
not just wrong channel again but wrong server
I need to get a list of all the cookbooks
Probably just YT at that point
fextralife prob got that
dam thats more than i thought
i got a lot already i will see what im missing
idk if i want to do ng+ or start a new character. i dont want to lose stuff it took me a long time to get all the grace points i have
Anyone needs help with base game boss?
I wish I could make a copy of my character and start ng+ in a new save
stay in ng if you want all the books. because getting to each grace will prolly take some time
i wanna use leonaras blade
i think i will use this character to collect everything and i will start a new one to use for ng+
what weapons got same moveset as bloodfiends arm and pickaxe
i know the shadow sunflower blossom has the same heavy attack. prolly the same light attack too but idk
just checked its the great club the shadowsunflower blossom
for bloodfiends arm. pickaxe idk
theres no weapon with pickaxes charged heavy
Would it even be worth it to migrate from PS5 to Switch 2 when it comes to Elden Ring? I'm stuck debating on getting the Switch 2 version for having to spend less every year on online and my aunt complains that my PS5 saps the internet away from her when I play online with it (granted, we live in an old house and the internet just sucks in her area in general, but she was threatening to remove my access to the internet on that basis.)
the game will have worse performance and the same âsappingâ of the network, which is not likely even a noticeable thing with an online game
so if you want a worse offline experience yeah get it on switch 2
All right. I still need to convince my aunt that it's just our crappy Internet, but I'm not going to ask for help on that here.
I think you must be on dial up if you notice an impact from elden ring. i doubt it even uses much bandwidth. its not even full mmo or fps it just use p2p connection
Any one help me defeat a boss please
but why buying a switch when you can buy a steam deck
I was playing other games like Fallout 76, so maybe that's why she was saying that. As far as our Internet provider, I don't think it's dial-up but I'm not sure either way. And I already have a Switch 2 for things like Pokemon. Not even sure I want a steam deck.
im not ps5
Ok
idk but there are tools you can download that tell you what programs are using up your internet the most.
I'll ask my brother about that next time he comes over. Appreciate the feedback.
go to speedtest.net and even see what your internet speed is.
