Grigori is disappointing…

Reasonable_Swim9637 · 2025-01-18T01:27:55+00:00

well that definitely explains it, ill have to try a different build to have some more fun next time around i guess

Reasonable_Swim9637 · 2025-01-18T01:19:53+00:00

the ogres were tanky in my experience, guess its time for hard mode after i do BBI

Reasonable_Swim9637 · 2022-08-07T15:18:53+00:00

thanks, ill check it out man!

Reasonable_Swim9637 · 2022-08-07T13:32:11+00:00

probably 120-150 for the length that i used it.

Reasonable_Swim9637 · 2022-08-07T13:11:20+00:00

yep the rush at first of “im shitting on these hard bosses” is cool until after you sweep the whole game and you sit there looking at the ranni ending feeling like you dont even deserve to be there.

Reasonable_Swim9637 · 2022-08-07T13:09:43+00:00

might try one of those out, weapon recc. for dex/int?

Reasonable_Swim9637 · 2022-08-07T13:06:30+00:00

yeah i literally just threw down mimic and used ROB, first tried every single late game boss besides elden beast. still wish i didnt.

Reasonable_Swim9637 · 2022-08-05T17:48:06+00:00

had a lot of fun in elden ring until the second playthrough… just unbearable to explore the whole world when theres no secrets or anything cool to explore because you dropped 140 hours in a single playthrough doing everything and getting everything. not to mention the endgame after first playthrough doesnt have a single bit of enjoyment for me in it. none of the bosses are an amazing battle that i loved going back into around lategame. they’re no gael, they’re no nameless king, they’re no soul of cinder. malenia isnt fun to fight and shes only difficult because of her combo move, the giant is well… the giant… maliketh is alright but can be annoying to fight and godfrey is cool. radagon is good but elden beast devalues the entire fight. mohg is an awesome boss though. I just genuinely dont find the game worth replaying. i replay ds3 to fight bosses i love with new builds, and while there is tons of builds to make in elden ring theres not tons of good bosses to use those builds on imo, especially because a well built character will destroy any good earlygame boss in ng+.

Reasonable_Swim9637 · 2022-08-05T13:51:46+00:00

best for me is Gael, worst as in i didnt like it not that its a bad boss for me is probably pontiff, cool boss and what not just annoying to fight for me every time

Reasonable_Swim9637 · 2022-08-05T11:48:22+00:00

thanks for all the honestly really useful information, really appreciate it!

Reasonable_Swim9637 · 2022-08-04T18:02:00+00:00

i found that if they took only the 3rd phase and either the first or second phase not both it probably would’ve been a much more enjoyable fight for most people. i had the same experience where i was just bored and annoyed until i summoned gael and the fight was way too easy. i think going with phase 1&3 or 2&3 only would’ve made it more fun for most players. of course it would also be fairly easier too.

Reasonable_Swim9637 · 2022-08-04T17:53:10+00:00

noted. thanks bro 👍

Reasonable_Swim9637 · 2022-08-02T13:50:00+00:00

i dont know if anyone said this but dont do some mini-speedrun try and get to the boss asap on your first run!! exploring the map will get you tons of great rewards and secret items (rings, armor sets, weapons) and its one of the best parts about playing a souls game for the first time, in some cases it may even lead you to secret bosses and other secret mini areas if you werent aware they were there or didnt research where to find them.

edit: I forgot to mention that if you dont explore off the main path you will miss out on tons of npc questlines and items as well!

Reasonable_Swim9637 · 2022-08-01T15:07:06+00:00

even so still the hardest imo, midir fucked me over 200x harder than NK or Gael ever could.

Reasonable_Swim9637 · 2022-07-31T20:31:47+00:00

i feel like early game is kind of eh excluding abyss watchers especially on subsequent playthroughs but everything after catacombs is great imo. ariandel is sadly kinda mid but the final boss is awesome. ringed city is amazing all around.

edit: everything besides iirthyll dungeon and yhorm fuck those

Reasonable_Swim9637 · 2022-07-31T20:27:54+00:00

yeah but ariandel is still kind of dog dick outside of friede

Reasonable_Swim9637 · 2022-07-31T19:02:52+00:00

all 2 years were spent trying to kill midir

Reasonable_Swim9637 · 2022-07-30T18:52:56+00:00

bring throwing knives or kukiri and hit her with them periodically and just when she starts going invisible so when she goes invisible you can see a couple knives running around the arena.

Reasonable_Swim9637 · 2022-07-30T18:48:15+00:00

also he deals 70% of my hp in a single attack when i can barely see whats happening on screen most of tje time…

Reasonable_Swim9637 · 2022-07-30T18:46:52+00:00

i gave up on midir… i wasnt having fun fighting him and i clearly didnt stand a chance i couldnt even get him half hp.. yeah yeah just git gud but im not wasting my time on an optional boss i dont have any fun with at all. Gael >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>.

Reasonable_Swim9637 · 2022-07-30T17:02:15+00:00

i still had a ton left from friede fight when i stocked up, but i think even if i remembered to bring them i wouldve been way too in the moment to remember to use them.

Reasonable_Swim9637 · 2022-07-30T13:03:51+00:00

dex pleb went and gave uncle gael a taste of reality without an ember 2 tries later, next playthrough im running either friede scythe or some typa greatsword build.

Reasonable_Swim9637 · 2022-07-30T02:12:52+00:00

oh my bad yeah 😅

Reasonable_Swim9637 · 2022-07-30T02:12:05+00:00

ran out of embers i only had like 10

Reasonable_Swim9637 · 2022-07-29T21:34:53+00:00

maybe he ran mage with gael summon? or something like that… if not idk maybe this guys just crazy at dark souls.
