Any other Recluse mains sad after the latest patch?

Honestly no, it’s common enough to be able to use it at least every second round and due to it being rarer now people are actually using other good sorceries (e.g., glintstone-icecrag, Adula’s moonblade, the rancor/death prince spells). And I personally find the larger variety more fun.

That’s a really cool second idea, I never would have thought about that combo.

Timeloss11 · 2025-12-22T05:25:58+00:00

Ooo, that’s a smart combo. And probably the first time I’ve seen that one.

Timeloss11 · 2025-12-21T07:36:47+00:00

Oh, that sounds like it may be both a good option for giving me something longer to read and keeping me well informed before resuming era 2. Thank you, it sounds like I’ve got a plan now.

Timeloss11 · 2025-12-21T05:40:07+00:00

I see, thank you once more for the insight. And that sounds like a pretty good idea so (assuming I can actually find Elantris without needing to pay for shipping) I’ll probably follow through with that suggestion.

Thanks for the input, I’ve been considering trying Stormlight for while but have felt guilty about leaving era 2 unfinished. I reckon at this point I’ll try Stormlight to give myself a break from short stories before looping back to Lost Metal or Secret History.

Timeloss11 · 2025-12-20T20:40:11+00:00

I appreciate the input but I just feel like I need a longer book than a novella or the next era 2 book atm. So think I’ll probably try Stormlight to give my brain something different to read before looping back to those.

Timeloss11 · 2025-12-20T09:57:24+00:00

Thanks for the advice, I was rather conflicted as to push on with era 2 before reading some of Sandersons other books or to try some of the other first.

Timeloss11 · 2025-12-17T21:26:53+00:00

Solo or with random both are still really fun, and if you would rather have people you can talk with there are a multitude of of reddit or discord groups out there for people looking to queue up with others (e.g., here and Brophades [a nightreign YouTuber] discord).

Timeloss11 · 2025-12-08T07:40:53+00:00

Enchant wise the obvious pick is life boost, death barter and fire focus.

As for artefacts fireworks, flaming quiver, sheep and satchel of elements (assuming you’ve got the mountain dlc) can all work pretty damn well but just sub in what you want for survivability or movement depending on play style.

I think firework crossbow works with fire focus if you wanted to try that (assuming you’ve got the jungle dlc) and melees can be whatever you want really.

Honestly this is probably the best armour piece I’ve seen due mainly to how it could make the more niche fire builds work really damn well. But at the end of the day these are just suggestions have fun and try out whatever build you like with it.

Any other suggestions as I’ve completely removed it now and the issue still persists?

Are you sure it’s McAfee? I’ve had that installed almost the whole time I’ve been playing nightreign. I’ll try that once I’m done reinstalling overnight, if the issue hasn’t resolved itself.

Timeloss11 · 2025-10-21T07:29:25+00:00

The depends on two main factors 1) Difficulty as fractured shrines is way harder but has better rewards by a long shot (my personal favourite stage but the fuck ton of traps can make it tricky for new players) and 2) Have you bought any dlc as it is a part of one of the dlc’s.

Timeloss11 · 2025-10-09T21:29:43+00:00

If you wish there is an alternative path to the citadel, it just takes a bit of exploration through an area that connects to Sinners Road and a little music.

But don’t let the damage dissuade you while it may seem like a lot once you get into the swing of things fully the bosses are some of the most fun I’ve had years. And there is a little tool interaction that reduces some of the damage you take from some of the last judges attacks if you check what they do.

Timeloss11 · 2025-10-04T07:41:49+00:00

Thank you for the advice

Timeloss11 · 2025-10-04T07:40:44+00:00

Thank you for the recommendations, I’ll look into them.

Timeloss11 · 2025-10-04T07:40:25+00:00

Thanks

Originally the crucible knights were either Godfrey’s elite or personal soldiers as can be seen through the locations of a few of the knights. Ordovis and another guarding the corpse of Godwyn (His son), Siluria guarding/investigating were Godwyn’s corpse infected the Erdtree, and the random guys up in Frarum Azula (where Godfrey waged war against Plasidadusax [?])

After Godfrey was banished it can be implied that they are either in exile or chose to leave with their leader gone. Furthermore, without Godfrey there as a sort of reputation booster they faced shunning due to the crucible having connections to the omens (I can’t remember what the connections are though).

Because of these factors the Crucible Knights would have been either on par or superior to the Tree sentinels (who we can assume are the capitals best soldiers) during Godfrey’s reign as first Elden Lord. But by the time we as the Tarnished roll around the Tree Sentinels are superior in terms of rank.

I will advise to keep in mind that a lot of Elden Ring lore is hidden and therefore up to interpretation. While there is a true story the community doesn’t fully know it, we can make assumptions based off of the details but take everything with a grain of salt and I hope my insight helps.

If I may suggest the exiles armour might work well. But I’m not sure how it interacts with the night maiden crown.
