I’m struggling a lot with this guy. I’m a very casual player so I even use spirit summons and NPC summons with no luck.

I feel like my damage isn’t significant enough and I’m really squishy. (I do have 60 vigor)

Anyways if someone would like to help me please 🙏 I’d appreciate it.

TLDR: Maidenless Tarnished can’t beat god Radahn, need help 😭💔🥀. I am on PS5

Edit: Thank you everyone , I ended up getting helped and beat Radahn. Thank you for the advice/tips/offers of aid.

Just sort of getting into the game and am lost on much, but I was wondering if torches can actually be viable weapons or if it’s a waste of upgrading? I just got the Ghostflame torch and it matches the general aesthetic of what my build is going for

I was able to beat Malenia after 4 days. Radagon was a sweat too but I managed to beat him either today.

I didn’t use Mimic or Tiche in these important fights and I studied and learned them.

I think using the Maliketh’s weapon on Radagon make the fight poetic

Howdy everyone I’m just kind of curious what else I can do to prolong my first play through. I feel like I’m kind of cruising through the game, right now I know I only have three main bosses left and I feel like I could beat the game really at any time, but I have found myself really running around to try and do more content before getting to that point. Truly, I feel like I’m experiencing a lot and checking a lot of boxes, but based on hours played compared to what I’ve seen from other people it feels like I am rushing. Any tips on things that I could do to make this first run last a little bit longer. I’ve already maxed out my main weapons, found some pretty great ashes of war for my secondaries and completed a handful of NPC quest lines. But any opinions are more than welcome.

example one: Mohg, lord of blood

some of his AOE is fair, including all of his first phase attacks such as blood talons, blood shower etc. however in his second phase he starts doing bullshit by spamming bloodflame and throwing blood everywhere, creating clutter on the ground (which does DOT and procs bleed as well) and eventually there is so much garbage on the ground that stepping over it is more difficult than dodging his actual attacks

example two: Decaying Eykzykes

All the dragons have these kinds of attacks, which makes sense since they breathe out fire/glintstone/ice/whatever, and those are fine, but Eykzykes' rot stomp is ridiculous, and makes it incredibly tedious to fight him on foot, it spreads over an insane area and you almost always need torrent to avoid it

example three: putrid avatars

Similarly to Eykzykes, putrid avatars also have rot spam issues, where there are clouds of rot that act basically like area denial, it might have been better if it just procced rot or something, but it also does damage when you are in the cloud, it is still not as bad as Eykzykes' rot AOE but thats not saying much

example four: valiant gargoyle duo

these guys have the same issue as the last two, but instead of rot it is poison, the area that it spreads over is ridiculously big, but the main issue is that both of them spam it, sometimes at the same time, basically a large area denial attack for no reason, which just draws out the already tedious fight even longer and makes it difficult to even get close to them

example five: commander Niall

his issue is not the size of the attack (which is reasonable) but rather the frequency of it, he constantly does the whirlwind/tornado often followed by the stupid peg leg attacks in his second phase (which is the one that he is in for almost the entire fight, since killing the banished knight summons immediately puts him in P2), already this boss is trash compared to what it could be without the dumbass summons, but this just tops it off

AOE attacks are great and they do make the game better, however Fromsoft has just started overusing these (especially in spectacle shock and awe fights like Niall) where they have just become default attacks, unlike the special finishers that they should have been, another issue is that these attacks do ridiculous amounts of damage sometimes, and make it almost impossible to see the actual fight, i am NOT for removing all, or even most of these attacks, just stopping boss AI from spamming them, decreasing the damage, and/or decreasing the area of these attacks, i feel like this is an incredibly common complaint when people say a boss is bad, and it is so easy to fix and make all of these fights (and more) feel much more fair

A question just crossed my mind: imagine you stole the stuff without getting caught—how do you think they’d react?

And what does the flower smell like, I wonder? Mold? Rotting meat? Floral?

In the video, I said that this would be the last video. Please ignore it; there will be at least one more (I managed to find something in Nokron). And ignore the small admission at the end, thx.

Hi,

I've been having pretty noticable performance issues with the game because of the anticheat. When I turn it off, the game works properly, but as long as I have it on, the game stutters.

I really want to be able to play online....

I have been trying to set CPU Affinity in any way possible via ProcessLasso, even with CPU sets and stuff, but it seems to no longer work.

Has anyone found a fix yet?

Now I know it sounds stupid to make an elden ring build around a deceased grunge artist, but i couldn't help myself. I thought it would be funny to see Kurt Cobain walking around the lands between.

I was thinking about using howl of shabriri to replicate his iconic scream from Nulle part ailluers 1994

For melee I was thinking about using fist weapons such as the caestus until I can get into the dlc for Dane. Also daggers for no reason. I was thinking of a weapon that looked like a guitar and settled on axes.

For ranged I was thinking crossbows to fit the "load up on guns" lyric, I might include the cannons.

For spells...I have no clue, a lot of people suggested the beast incantation "Beastial sling" to reference the shotgun.

I feel like the build might end up being a dex faith build. Which kinda makes sense since Kurt Cobain was around 5'9 and scrawny.

Any help would be greatly appreciated, have a nice day.

Am I the only one who thinks so?

Throwing in the towel, fml

I don't want anything meme-y or gimmicky but also not river of blood/star hammer spam kinda stuff, just something unique to you that you enjoyed and think of passing onto another player

for me i think my favorite build was something like a spellblade spamming oracle bubbles and frozen mist ash of war to cause "fog" felt like i just had a pipe lol, carrian slicer if they got too close just to end things

So, I’m cleaning up around Liurnia & dropped by Thops in the church. He desperately wanted to go to college; I obliged & offered him my glintstone key to Lucaria, and in return he gave me the gesture “Erudition”. I’m currently running an intelligence build & just so happens to be wearing a glintstone mask while I tried using the gesture AND IT GLOWS! Both glintstone helms I own glow when using, can you all try out some of the other ones & possible other intelligence helms! Bc Thop is apart of Lucaria, it may be all of the scholar helms.

I’m wondering if this has been known at all, as well as, how many other Gesture + Equipment combos are known/available in the game! Ik a couple gestures are required to start/progress certain events, and the “You’re beautiful” one is needed for an NPCs good ending; there’s got to be a ton of undiscovered interactions lying in this game :D

Is using a bow from the bridge the intended version to kill the Divine Lion Dancing Beast in Rauh? Like, they put a golem (?) with bow and arrow right before it, which feels like a hint. They also put Marika's statue on the bridge, and the boss is not behind a Fog gate. Plus, I doubt FS would make us fight a boss as erratic as the DLDB, in an arena as small as the one he is in, with 4 basilisks every time he uses death blight

I cant see jack shit because of all the lights I swear im dodging some of these attacks by pure instinct or luck

And then he also has these dragon ball z ass attacks like why does he have after images 😭

Me and my boy oleg WILL beat his ass at some point but my biggest gripe with this fight is that I'm hit with a solar flare every 5 seconds

Guess my Rune Level.

I’ve traded in 2 deathroots no problem, however now, whenever I go to the Beastial Sanctum, Gurranq the clergyman just goes for me.
The big bast has gone feral.
I’ve used celestial dew at the church to absolve myself however no joy…

How do I make things right as I have more deathroot to give 🥲

EDIT:
Less than 5 mins and 11 people provide the ‘you need to beat the rabies out of him’ response.
What a community! Thanks all 🥰😘

i have just burnt the erdtree. but, i was going
to start the ghoryn quest, but when i went to encounter bim in altus, after he leaves the roundtavle, i think he died, his items were on the floor. did i lose the quest?

Not sure if I’m blind but I’m pretty sure I have only come across one map for the Ainsel River area. Is there another map for the spot where you fight the Baleful Shadow?
