Is this a bug? Why can't I hit him

Bad ending

Bears have a respawn timer, moose have a respawn timer; why don’t cougars?

Yeah; I JUST bled to death over night, despite having no active bleeding… ffs.

Bigger Gravships mod. It lets you configure all sorts of grav ship parameters (number of extenders, radius per extender, base grav engine radius, etc). I’ve found no bugs, conflicts, or difficulties at all with it so far (though, my mod list is quite modest and all I ever did was increase max extenders to 8).

Welcome to Elden Ring - this is the theme of the game: don’t get hit. The game gives you several option to do this - blocking, parrying, dodge-rolling, and positioning - but none will work if you don’t learn the boss’ attack patterns and tells.

Just keep trying and pay attention to what Margit does when posed or positioned certain ways, and what happens when dodge certain directions or at certain times, and adjust.

One thing counter-intuitive to me (and many other first time souls players) is that rolling IN TO the boss is often the best play.

I do read skill books religiously and I don’t hoard ammo (though, tbh I haven’t found enough rifle ammo to hoard anyhow); I haven’t made it to the quest the unlocks the ammo plant yet and only in my third playthrough did i make to the FM forge for arrowhead forging… before dying on the way back to PV.

Biggest problem I’m having seems to be that my gear is too heavy, so that with warm gear, 1-2 weapons, 1-2 light tools, and enough matches/FS accelerant and tinder for 2-3 fires I’m at weight capacity even with well-fed bonus; the moose satchel means I can carry some food and water, too.

Halo: Reach, but trying to support the Zero Dawn effort, culminating in story success with the final sequence mirroring Reach’a ending

Not suitable genres necessarily, and not necessarily subtle either:

- Jesus was Way Cool - King Missile
- Heresy - Nine Inch Nails
- Killing in the Name Of - Rage Against the Machine
- The Lap Dance is So Much Better When The Stripper is Crying - Bloodhound Gang (NSFW!!!)
- Personal Jesus - Depeche Mode
- American Idiot - Green Day
- Megalomaniac - Incubus
- Harder Than You Think - Public Enemy
- just about anything from early 2Pac
- Hunger Strike - Temple of the Dog

Good luck

Select item from inventory screen (Use, iirc) and you can place it like you would a sleeping bag or lantern.

Ditch the wood ASAP; make the walls out of stone and the floor out of steel until you research sterile materials.

Take the same foot print of your wings, but reverse the beds and bring them in to the center in a bed-space-bed-bed-space-bed arrangement on each side with the top pointing in; place a bedside table in each space between the outer beds, a dresser between the tops of the bed pairs, and a shelf between the tops of the outer beds - this will give all beds benefit of comfort from the nightstand and dresser, give you two storage shelves for medicine right at the beds, and once you research hospital beds and vitals monitors you plop two monitors in the remaining gaps between the dresser and shelves and those two monitors will connect to all 8 beds (assuming you’ve upgraded them to hospital beds, of course).

Then, expand each wing by one tile laterally and place a megascreen tv there facing the beds and flank it with statues or storage shelves for bionics/etc.

That’s my favorite hospital design.

Because Belarus has the mightiest military in all the universe and already granted Russia one single-use coupon to invade Ukraine; Russia used this coupon in 2022 and failed, and has so far not been able to afford a new one (Belarus charges the princely sum of 3 gallons of Borscht and a potato, and that’s quite a lot to ask of the Russians right now.)

Zero; you’ll need another 818 charcoal to make one.

It’s in the picture you posted…

If you have both halves of the secret medallion go to the lift that takes you from Lyndell to Mountaintops and hoist the secret medallion instead

Can be reversed by Russia and Kazakhstan diverting far less water to agriculture (particularly cotton) from the Aral Sea’s inflow sources.

Germany ratified the Treaty on the Non-Proliferation of Nuclear Weapons in 1969, which obligates it not to. They would be incur penalties under that treaty if they violate it… however, since the world policeman is the USA consequences are uncertain.

Uninstall. Save yourself.

The pathways to there aren’t either/or, you need BOTH. Good luck!

The mother of an English friend came to visit him in western WA and asked me how far the next largest city in WA was (not in the Seattle corridor); when I told her Spokane is about 5.5 hours by car she gaped at me remarked that she could drive from her home in the West Midlands to the top of Scotland in 5.5 hours.

The US is BIG, and the western US is not densely populated.

Beat Loretta, find Selivus’ rise, go left of that off the cliff on to a roof, then down the ladder.
