The 'Official' Elden Ring thread

[Dark Cloud]

Yes, I am making an Elden Ring thread. Why? I dunno, maybe cause I need to talk about my builds or the current meta. But the video-game thread is too broad for this cause I just want to talk Elden Ring or just souls games in general. Anyway, I think I'll slap a fancy multiplayer password any schmuck can use in the title so ya goofs can play together or some shit. Or invade people, it makes no difference to me. Lol

I haven't touched it since it came out. Still need to finish.

[Dark Cloud]

@TGM my goal this year is to try to beat it or get at least one ending.

Could be worse. I've hardly heard anyone even talk about it since the whole "maidenless" memery.

Funni, lol. I mean I just straight up enjoy the game. It's beautiful when you aren't dying. 😂

I beat it and did a second playthrough, though I didn't finish that one. Great game, but I'm really waiting on some actual DLC. I did a str/end build first time, and dex/int the second.

@POOHEAD189

My first was a Dex/Fai, now I'm going outside my comfort zone and trying Str/Int with emphasis on Int.

Great game. I stopped playing when I hit Godskin Duo because it just sounds like a huge pain in my ass.

But definite GOTY. Had a great time playing it and I'll probably pick it up and finish the play through off. Maybe go NG+ once DLC comes out.

[Dark Cloud]

@BangoSkank I keep thinking the DLC will have something to do with Miquella. Tbh it seems the right direction. He isn't technically dead after all.

[BangoSkank]

That's a pretty popular guess too.

Either him/her/whatever or time travel of some sort.

@BangoSkank

Could be dream world bull shit, Miquella had a lot of mind control stuff involved with him.

[BangoSkank]

I hope Elden Ring inspires some more games like it. That first play through exploring around and gradually figuring out how to survive bullshit is quite the experience.

I found myself caught in the Glow Shrimp Mining Cave (that's not its actual name but if you've been there, especially early on, you know what I mean) and figuring out how to get through it was quite the journey.

[Dark Cloud]

@BangoSkank man, I stumbled into Caelid my first game. It was a wild ride.

[BangoSkank]

I found my favorite way to play was to venture into areas where everything could fuck me up quick and see how far in I could get. Ended up by the bridge to Radaghan where all those dogs and knights are fighting. And the Caelid Divine Tower. Those guys stole my lunch money so many times.

[Dark Cloud]

Oof Fort Gael is a binch and a half

[BangoSkank]

The one cave system in the north of the lake area. With the vampires. Oooooooooo I went in there way too low level. Good fun.

[Fabricant451]

I played the game as a high int/dex spell sword using carian greatsword and stuff which would be notable other than as soon as I got the dark moon greatsword I respecced to use that and my spells and pretty much cheesed the fuck out of the game with weapon arts and magic. I was gonna try out a strength/faith build since I never even found Goldmask or that storyline in my playthrough but then I didn't and haven't played it since.

Blue sword go brr.

[Argetlam350]

I stopped playing due to going through a backlog of other games but have plans to return to it again after figuring I'd do a type of RP build of Siegmeyer/Siegward. Dub them as Siegreed. Then a few other RP type builds that I might just implement into the various other builds I need to rework a little after the various updates. Think last build I was working on used fist weapons.

[BangoSkank]

Heavy Caestus would be fun. Or just like Heavy Lordsworn Sword and Brass Shield. Full tryhard knight.

[Dark Cloud]

Restarted and am going bleed build and fire, to stab and burn
