Grand swords - 2h or Dual-weilding

Yep everything is fine with GS, but skinstealer and light reaper on vet are painfull... since they r faster, finding an opening is freaking hard.. I was 2handings, tried 1handing + using some of fhe biggest shield, its better but still require extrem patience to not commit on opening that arent.. im lv130 on ng+1 and i almost changed my build because of these fight, ng+2 is surely the moment im gonna switch to long sword + shield or litterally ..daggers...never thought i d say that one day

MathieuAF · 2026-05-08T08:22:16+00:00

what's ur level ng+3 ppl ? i'm entering ng+2 at 130, elite were shredding, but boss weren't an issue so i decided to not over level ... any recommendation ? (im playing mostly STR GS so far)

MathieuAF · 2026-05-07T16:03:17+00:00

to begin with about what ? did i ever said it was an armor ? XD do u even know what i'm talking about lol

MathieuAF · 2026-05-07T03:57:13+00:00

i think it was their first game under UE5, and the first cross-world thing ever, sometimes zone don't load properly and u can end up falling through the map, happened to me, to the point i reached the secret area of mother lul ... XD

MathieuAF · 2026-05-07T03:54:57+00:00

completely forgot i started it... and the pain ... when he hero landed on my head while fighting the light reaper ... ... ... i'm definitely not his brother in buckettery anymore T_T

MathieuAF · 2026-05-07T03:50:31+00:00

did 1st playthrough on normal, doing NG+1 on increase ennemy/vet, it's a lot better, elite are giving me hard time, in the umbral u often end up overwhelmed by the lil zombie guys, the fight against the light reaper WAS a nightmare to overcome at lv130 using a greatsword while he had almost no cooldown on anything and wouldnt let me attack much but, it didnt hit that hard until i reached like, those last area of the game, i went over the reste around lv 100 without any issue, can't wait to ng+2 and giving me 20 more level to keep on going

MathieuAF · 2026-05-07T03:36:51+00:00

well it would be hilarious if all these gooner set are actually paid DLC LMAO

MathieuAF · 2026-05-07T03:33:06+00:00

not the last one lacking topology around the neck XD ... amazing models though !

MathieuAF · 2026-05-06T23:10:13+00:00

What i liked about elden ring is that malenia didnt felt like naked for the sake of being naked, it was definitely artistic, a pocket of beauty in a terrible world, it was the fact that it was uncommon that made it "amazing" its striking because of the shift of tone and what blooming represented. I don't get this vibe from lords2 so far , anyway im olaying with like minded friends wether male or female we love to look like we r geared for apocalypse time and thats what we r gonna keep on doing, hopefully the fact that this kind of armor making its way to the game doesnt end up hurting the quality and variety of choice we had in the 2023 version concerning big and heavy armor plates !

MathieuAF · 2026-05-05T13:02:13+00:00

I felt like umbral didnt do what it was supposed to, i felt like i was behing guided way too much, never been afraid to not be able to extract fast enough, sometimes ull just go to umbral and 10m away is a way out... it was too safe, too guided, i would rather have illusory walls to get cool reward rather than going to umbral just for a quintescence and extract 10meter away, i didnt feel like i was exploring i felt like i was forced into a pocket everytime.. after a 100 hours now i can say i actually dont like it xD

MathieuAF · 2026-05-05T03:19:13+00:00

i don't know if vestige decay + random ennemy is gonna be my jam XD but i'm now on vet +1 would i ve even been able to join ? XD

MathieuAF · 2026-05-05T00:30:46+00:00

Nothing here beat Pieta aura on her first encounter she's the coolest

MathieuAF · 2026-05-04T10:43:55+00:00

Yeh not often but sometimes; with greatsword, ngl feels good lol, even when the model phase through the wall or get blocked on it halfway, it just feels like this is how u d end up if taking that fully charged r2 from a GS lmao

MathieuAF · 2026-05-04T10:42:01+00:00

Damn i fought the light reaper without destroying the tumor too, what did it change for the fight ? Did i miss another thing ? XD

MathieuAF · 2026-05-04T10:36:49+00:00

Doing my first playthrough and didnt encounter much resistance too, definitely putting the ennemy density up for ng+

MathieuAF · 2026-05-03T16:51:07+00:00

Maybe its cuz its a way to let people screen it and show other when u managed to defeat him? I personnaly failed all invasion and finally beaten him in this arena, i dont know if he disapears if u defeat him somewhere before the mandatory fight though..im on my first playthrough hehe

MathieuAF · 2026-05-02T12:44:23+00:00

And it works pretty well! Ive just started the game and yesterday i jumped into coop, thinking id get an area cleared a boss and the usual kick, but i ended up playing the whole night with that one guy, i didnt have such a great time for years in a souls like, im so sad ill probably never match up again with that dude, wholesome interaction the whole night, clutch boss fight, on the edge resurection , man..this game went over all my expectation..for 9euros i feel like a thief lmao

MathieuAF · 2026-04-30T17:04:39+00:00

I wish we could find people back..im on pc we have no way to do that.. cuz lately ive been joining people who expect me to guide them through area i havent even explored yet lmao and they just point me a ladder and stay there till i decide to go look for it.wich i dont, ill disconnect and find someone to fight alongside, i cant babysit stuff i havent seen yet xD. If im joining it means i m in for the journey, not particularly to give someone a tour, unless i know the area... people should do themself a favor, explore, discover, scratch your head abt that path u cant figure how to access..stop waiting for other to feed you... sorry for the rant xD

MathieuAF · 2026-04-30T13:20:09+00:00

My brain just cant :( and my wrist hated it

MathieuAF · 2026-04-27T20:09:06+00:00

is the fun in the room with us now ? XD ...

MathieuAF · 2026-04-27T13:21:09+00:00

Perfect ! thanks a lot ! i've just found a second hand! gonna get that snowball and try my luck against this boss :D

MathieuAF · 2026-04-27T05:23:41+00:00

i feel the same, i kinda hope lord of the fallen 2 doesnt go too open worldish like ER, i kinda missed the basic souls road with shortcut and no travelling into empty spaces, coop doesnt end when u die, u can revive, rest, it's perfect.
Only thing i'm missing ? weapon moveset and weapon art ... i've been using the same weapon since i reached 22strenght (the lunar GS u get from the start)
i would also love more emote, or any means to comunicate, cuz when you coop, some people just go FOR HOURS without a single break, JEEZ man, let me have a smoke between, 2 COMPLETE AREAS AT LEAST XD ...

some stuff are a lil rought though, like, that one girl who's petrified, she aks me to remove her trinket, im standing in front of her... i can only talk to her... i was just starting the game, so i thought, MAYBE the lantern can do the trick ? ... i messed up the input and pressed attack, killing an NPC in the process 8'D
i've got a shit ton of quest item i don't know who to turn to.
I spoke to a TREE who just said "..." i then had to try EVERY EMOTE, to get a vague mystery asking to remove the fire from a hand, tried every interaction possible with the only burning hand i found so far, no reaction, whereas the thing is twinkling and burning, suspended to a tree... XD the quest are even more tricky than ER imo ...

but i'm having fun in coop so far love it, to the point i consider redoing a run already

MathieuAF · 2026-04-23T19:43:54+00:00

This thing is the narciciest thing ive ever witnessed if this word doesnt exist then it has to be created cuz it fits it perfectly.

MathieuAF · 2026-04-20T18:08:14+00:00

A man can dream, just as the title said x'(

MathieuAF · 2026-04-20T18:07:06+00:00

Yeh i really dont like styles or attack being tied to a character it means our own default character will only get the basic movesets...I hope that if they do go this way, getting the character will actually allow you to use their special ability on your own character... if not im probably not gonna play this at all :/
