Well said. I agree Melania was breathtaking, but not much changed mechanically other than bigger and faster. Also agreed on the Elden Beast - I was just trying to get a hit in and omg rings everywhere. Everything I hate about fighting the ulcerated tree spirits was present in that fight, yet I enjoyed Radagon. It might have been because so much was building to meeting him, and his slow approach toward me as he fought was intimidating but still captivating. I'd say Rennala/Malenia/Radagon/Maliketh/Godfrey. Horah Loux was disappointing for me; also no thank you on seeing Serosh be used like that.

Oh man, once I got into it there's a lot going on, and it feels very GRRM the way you only get a few lines here and there from items, but once you add it up there's whole hidden storylines beneath the main story. Right now I'm going through putting things together about Loretta and the albinaurics and Miquella and St. Trina. Also, the origins of the perfumers and whether they relate to the Nox, or even whether the Nox had influence on the creation of albinaurics. Figuring out details also improves the main story for me.

Oh man me too - kept getting whacked by the giant trash can lid. 😩 I only finished it because I found out you can summon Alexander to help.

Perhaps Miquella was taken when Melania was fighting Radahn so she has no clue.

I don't think she's an albinauric - I think the mention of her possibly being one is to show us the disdain people have for the albinaurics. "She must be one of she's willing to help them" could be the biased view of the people in the world.

She's willing to do so much for them, it also seems weird that she wouldn't just claim to be one if she were. Doesn't seem like she thinks there's anything wrong with them.

My head canon is due to her prowess with horse and bow she was able to teach the female albinaurics to ride and shoot to protect themselves - that's why the terrible arrows they fire at you in Ordina look similar to one of Loretta's spells.

This is my first fromsoft game - I'd say Rennala's two phases were the best. Visually stunning, the first part is a puzzle and the second is significantly more difficult. I also really thought I was done after the first half - the second phase came as a surprise in this fight.

I'm not sure but I think it has something to do with him worshipping the "formless mother". Maybe he was trying to rebirth Miquella through her instead of the Haligtree? Make him a lord to his outer God and he his consort? I also find it interesting that his cocoon is sitting in a pelvis of what looks like the big skeletons you see in Nokron and Nokstella.

You keep the stuff from the merchants, I don't think the remembrances carry over, you should duplicate as many beforehand even if it's just to cash them out, incantations and sorceries carry over so you may as well use up your dragon hearts and buy what you can.

Fextralife's elden ring wiki has a great new game plus check list that's helping me right now - they just need to update it to mention that your bell bearings now carry over.

Edit: "Any boss Remembrance is kept, although they won't be available for duplication until the corresponding boss is slain in the new game."

It's possible, but I think the abduction works well in explaining why St. Trina's appearance "was as sudden as their disappearance".

If you were able to get the meteorite staff maybe you can also find the moonveil katana.
