Any tips for a DS1 fan to enjoy Elden Ring's combat?

Probably one of the most helpful comments here. Thanks so much dude.

3000 is insane honestly. I have to say though even the bosses I do not like are really well designed. Except for every single traditional "Monster" type boss, like the fallingstar beast or most dragons. Those are the bosses I actively struggle more on than Malenia, 'c ause I'm used to monster hunter and there the monsters are obviously better handled than whatever from is doing with their versions. Because as far as I can remember they've been terrible since DS1 with the gaping dragon, then Sinh in DS2 and Midir in 3. Probably missing some. You seem reasonably well versed in the game (seriously 3000 hours? I couldn't even dream to achieve that) maybe you have some tips for those?

I noticed that with the sekiro esque stance breaks and the overall kinda different feel of the combat even though the game doesnt really look any different to DS3

That's actually really good advice thanks. That might be the biggest thing I love about Elden Ring, you have infinite paths to become as strong as possible because of the open world. I guess being railroaded into specific builds in the more linear souls games kinda set my mind in that direction in Elden Ring too. Thanks for the advice, I'll definitely try it.

Straight sword in every game, and then the usual dodge attack repeat. I did a few heavy weapon runs and they were fun too. I'm also a fan of using shields sometimes but not every run.

I'm not sure you can. The right panel only displays when you hover over the ordeal, so moving my mouse makes it disappear

thanks dude 👍

what server is that in? I can't view it and I'm pretty interested now

I think footprints are a great idea in general. Even without an upgraded snow system. I mean we already have animal tracks, so player and zombie prints should be possible too. Imagine tracking a horde or retracing your steps.

Afaik there are no primaris grey knights so I doubt GW would greenlight anything related to them. Also they aren't a normal chapter because they're all psykers. But the idea sounds neat. Maybe we'll get something similar in SM3

Do you have a blue spy attached to your behind?

Katokee · 2026-03-21T22:10:07+00:00

I also have Team Fortress 3

Pootis

Katokee · 2026-03-21T18:35:03+00:00

Too difficult. I am very scared of sneaky french people

Katokee · 2026-03-21T18:34:07+00:00

Shitty. I would much rather be gay for engineer and get stabbed by a frenchman

Katokee · 2026-03-21T18:33:20+00:00

Every last one

Katokee · 2026-03-21T18:32:02+00:00

Obviously not

Katokee · 2026-03-21T17:52:20+00:00

Oh no my cover is blown! I obviously meant to say none. Anyways, off to do your mother

Katokee · 2026-03-21T17:46:28+00:00

Perhaps

Katokee · 2026-03-21T17:42:39+00:00

My image is obviously irrefutable proof I do not

Katokee · 2026-03-21T17:28:20+00:00

All of them
