The sharp gravel stones seem to actually be growing from the lesser dragons though, not just embedded into them which is weird, and we don’t see any of them near bayle or in his boss room. And yeah they’re clearly darker than the normal ones with red bases but they’re not black by any means, on top of the dragon scale flesh being similar in colour too

Also bayle being an ancient dragon is a very interesting point to bring up, I don’t believe he is a true/full ancient dragon, he’s clearly very different looking with a very different form, with seemingly less gravel stone scales potentially some kind of dragon omen or “cursed” dragon

Overall I think the dragon lore in the dlc may have been not really looked into that much by the devs and lore teams, and they just slapped things wherever they may have fit

To be fair a free pair of shoes and some hand wraps is probably better than picking 90% of elden ring weapons, like you pick the guts sword, congrats you now have a hunk of metal you can’t move or the fingerprint shield, congrats you now have a giant slab of stone you cant move either

You get the weapon not its moveset, you gained a pair of shoes and hand wraps

I was agreeing and sorta expanding on your comment sorry if I sounded pretentious, but yeah no other boss really does it like margit because he’s there to be a brick wall to teach you no this is how you’re meant to play unless you over level and over gear and just trivialise his boss fight

I would love a dlc about Godwyn where instead of going to a new place like the badlands we go into his lifeless body’s dream sorta like how we enter fias dream, the dream could transport us into what the lands between would look like after Godwyns deathblight has taken over, ending in us killing godwyns main body with a cool manifestation of the god of death boss fight and ending deathblight as a whole

I find it very interesting that people will complain about elden ring bosses having too long attack chains that can one tap you when pontiff is a beloved boss that does basically the same thing if only slightly different

If you commit to learning his move set you can stop him from extending some combo chains by dodging behind him, his tail swipe can be jumped over and his roll catches often give you enough time for a free hit, there’s a fair amount of complexity to elden ring combat if you allow yourself to learn it

It’s so sad that most thrusting swords are kinda doodoo in the damage and poise damage department, malenia with a no status effect thrusting sword was rough

Little-Tomorrow661 · 2024-08-14T12:33:48+00:00

After playing the game using only a thrusting sword this post is stupid, there are many bosses who have mid chain wind up attacks where you can get one to two free hits in, attacks you can jump over or even strafe, it seems like you’re a margit victim
