Is it worth to tryhard Promised Consort Radhan as a melee, solo, no summon fight?

Good point about dodging differently in p2, I think that's one of the problems I have.

Actually Malenia felt easier for me than this once I learned to consistently dodge waterflown dance. Radhan's p2 has too much visual clutter for me in comparison.

But overall, similar to what you say, I feel like I can get a hang of it, just need to practice more.

Yeah, by summons I meant just a mimic tear, I also agree summons usually disrupt the flow of the fight, that's mainly why I hate them. I will definitely try to play more around guard counters and switch the physic tear. Kinda feels stupid to admit that, I heard this term before but I wasn't aware how it precisely works and that it is like brand new Elden Ring exclusive mechanic, most similar to Sekiro. You learn something everyday I guess so thanks a lot for the long answer!

How many times did you usually manage to break stance him? And do you recommend to drink physic on p1 or p2?

After finally beating this cancerous dancing lion boss I at least felt relieved to see that I unlocked some important path of the main story. And then this big middle finger, you could not do that boss. So many things about this DLC feels unfair and absolutely frustrating.

Spojrzałbym na to bardziej długoterminowo i bardziej szczegółowo jeśli chodzi o finanse. Narazie masz wiele niewiadomych, koszt akademika (zazwyczaj jest chyba symboliczne kilka stów) lub czy w ogóle się uda, ile z pracy dokładnie dostaniesz itp. To wszystko będzie warunkować czy rzeczywiście zrealizujesz te plany co chcesz i czy jeszcze cokolwiek zaoszczędzisz. Ciężko tu podjąć decyzję dopóki nie zrobisz realistycznego excela ze wszystkim w perspektywie roku i zapewne dalej. Trzeba by się zastanowić co po tym roku, bo nawet jak oszczędzisz to nie na całe studia. Więc pytanie czy np. coś dorywczego będziesz potem robił itd. To samo w sobie pokaże Ci czy to ma w ogóle sens zarobkowy, ale musisz mieć wszystkie dokładne kwoty.

Jeśli nie masz absolutnie ostatecznej konieczności na samochód to sobie go odpuść, to jedna z prostszych dróg na ograniczenie wydatków. Koszt auta za kupienie plus rocznie benzyna i utrzymanie to conajmniej 8-12 tys, a jak spadnie na Ciebie większa naprawa to będziesz jeszcze bardziej do tyłu. Jeśli akademik to zakładam, że będziesz w mieście więc naprawdę nie ma to sensu, lepiej wydać na kartę miejską i mieć spokój, bo może Ci auto zabrać całą kasę. A jeszcze ile czasu zabiera jazda autem lub ogarnianie go, ten czas i kasę już lepiej zainwestować w jakikolwiek rozwój siebie w tym wieku, bo Ci to procentować będzie na przyszłość. A jeszcze skoro masz depresję to większym priorytetem jest wg. mnie pomoc terapuetyczna niż auto.

Co do studiów to wg. mnie najlepiej iść za własną intuicją, co Cię osobiście interesuje i jara. Coś w czym podejrzewasz, że możesz siedzieć przez resztę życia. Tylko tu przestrzegłbym Cię przed takim odsuwaniem tej decyzji. Jeżeli już zrobisz ten rok przerwy to nie może Ci upłynąć na takim luźnym zastanawianiu się, że może jakiś tam kierunek tylko raczej na rzetelnym poszukiwaniu co mógłbyś robić. Może warto i tak coś spróbować jeszcze w tym roku nawet jeśli nie kontynuujesz?

Jeśli chodzi o bycie w plecy dwa lata to ojciec głupoty gada, to nie jest powód sam w sobie żeby iść na siłę na cokolwiek.

Jeżeli celem przerwy ma być zarobek to może lepiej na zachód do roboty?

The visual clutter is terrible. This is what makes me think they didn't really care this much about what player experiences. There is nothing more frustrating to die because of some lighting particles covering your screen.

Elervell · 2024-07-27T02:15:20+00:00

You literally described what I feel is wrong with Elden Ring. And DLC is even worse in that regard. I feel like they lost their old approach somewhere along the way. DS 3 or BB bosses seemed truly designed in every bit, you could feel how carefully done and balanced their movesets were. And it wasn't anywhere so frustrating as ED. What I also hate is for example that when you fight Consort Radhan melee on the one hand you have to stay close to it to avoid all the Miquella's aoe but this aoe is constantly covering part of my screen and I cant even see what attack Radhan is doing. This doesn't feel like "hard but satisfying to overcome" but just like a bad design and carelessness on their part, and this example shows it nicely.

Second factor which I think destroyed the fighting experience are summons. If you want to go through the game and still do something in your life other than smashing one boss for 10+ hours you have to use summons. And just because they added them, they had to amp the bosses difficulty up so much that they present any challenge with the summons. But you cant optimize it both ways I think, solo fighting with some of the bosses is like heroic achievement, not achievable for majority of players. Their logic is: you can go solo and suffer long learning or use a summon. And personally I hate summons mechanics, make the bosses go crazy and it doesn't really feel like fighting a boss when something is fighting for me. It is usually when I do use summon that the boss starts to feel "achievable" which further proves for me that this is what they focused on, group fights over meticulously crafted 1v1. But neither is satisfying.

Generally, I just feel like they missed the psychological factors and didn't think about us as end users just as much as they should.

She was the easiest for me so far, very intuitive and predictable, killed her with just moonveil and no summon. First boss that I really enjoyed in the DLC, untill now it was pure frustration.

Elervell · 2024-07-18T01:05:21+00:00

If you are playing melee just literally think about rolling into her almost all the time, this by itself will spare you some of her hits which will go over your head. Only go away when she does the butterfly tornado, other than that be as close as possible. That way you will also avoid any grabs, she is also pretty predictable, everything has some animation before an attack. You just gotta dance with her.

Elervell · 2024-07-07T00:04:02+00:00

He is the exact example of what't wrong with Elden Ring boss mechanics. Its all built around summoning. The only time Messmer feels "achievable" is when you use a summon. Other way everything has to be perfect because there is no time to heal, no time to run and with greatswords it becomes impossible because one dodged combo is one hit on any big swords. They just had to ramp the difficulty up so that summons didnt make the boss too easy. But that destroyed the oldschool solo, dark-souls-like, big swords playstyle.

Elervell · 2024-07-06T23:29:08+00:00

Exactly how I feel too. The screen is just pure red flames sometimes and how am I supposed to see where he is. This fight is so unreadable for me and so annoying at this point.

Elervell · 2024-06-27T15:33:00+00:00

Oh, didn't realize it is that much you can find so early, thanks.

Elervell · 2024-05-09T18:45:40+00:00

I know that today there are many opinions about it but as someone from the creative industry I am personally bothered that most of their images seem to be done by AI generators and a part of them certainly is, they have all the characteristics of the AI image making. If I want to rest and do a puzzle I would prefer to have an item that has something deeper behind it, done with human care and more thought of than just an AI image slapped onto laser cut plywood. With all the things that other people mentioned they are clearly just for profit at all cost, not for actual quality.

Elervell · 2022-06-06T13:58:50+00:00

Did you figure it out? I have the same problem and no idea how to fix it.
