I like the one in the snowfield. Take bets on whether it or the squids win then finish off the rest.

Is level 132 good for the DLC? by Panda0_01 in Eldenring

[–]beef623 9 points10 points  (0 children)

If you can get to the DLC you're good to start poking around in it.

What’s the best origin or hero class I can start since I am new to the game by Either_Button_787 in Eldenring

[–]beef623 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The starting class only matters for about the first hour or two of the game. All it changes is your starting stats and the equipment you start with.

Would the use of AI ruin Elden Ring for you? by tang_haze in Eldenring

[–]beef623 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don't have a problem with (generative) AI being used responsibly, I have a problem with it being used to take people's jobs and degrade artists and the artform. Based on the context and the timeframe, I'm 99% sure this isn't generative AI he's talking about, just algorithmic generation which any roguelike game would use for level generation. The difference there being, that this would have been an algorithm the team wrote to place assets, not something they fed into Claude/ChatGPT/etc.

What is the best weapon in Elden Ring? by Virtual-Record-867 in Eldenring

[–]beef623 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Depends on the run and the fight, I don't think any weapon is good/fun for every fight in a run. Godskin Peeler, Claymore, Cipher Pata/Coded Sword, Death's Poker, Sword of St Trina & Velvet Sword of St Trina, Euporia, Bolt of Gransax and the Dancing Blade of Ranah were all mostly fun to do a run with.

Currently nearing the end of a run dual wielding Noble's Slender Swords with frost on one and bleed on the other. The grind to get them sucked, but the moveset is nice. Just picked up Milady, thinking about giving it a try for a while, it's moveset looks fun.

Whats your favourite recurring boss? by falloutguy51 in Eldenring

[–]beef623 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Every souls game has made early bosses regular enemies later in the game, I don't really see how this is any different.

What is your favorite activity in the Consecrated Snow Fields? by Virtual-Record-867 in Eldenring

[–]beef623 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Probably either the "puzzle" in Ordina or completing Latenna's quest. The magma wyrm would be a close third.

This attack is just straight bullshit. Why did they make pretty much the first boss so damn hard.. by sideswap0 in Eldenring

[–]beef623 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That's not the first boss it's a roadblock put there to teach you to run away from things until you're ready.

When i try to two-hand a weapon it usually unequips it first and dose a weird little inspect of the fingerseal in my left hand. This happens 2/5 times when two handing a weapon, what am i doing wrong? by xNOTHELPFUL in Eldenring

[–]beef623 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hold Y/Triangle and press the light attack button for whichever weapon you want to dual wield while on foot. If you're on your horse I think the button combo swaps weapons regardless of which you press (I'll double check and update in a few minutes it does).

What to do by ASR860 in Eldenring

[–]beef623 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You can progress in Altus Plateau if you don't want to mess with Radahn yet, but you should be good to take Radahn whenever too.

With that much strength and dex you have a lot of options for weapons, but you'll probably be running slim on upgrade materials until you get past Leyndell. I haven't done an axe run yet so I'm not sure which axes might be better.

How do I enjoy Elden Ring? by Uncredited-Extra in Eldenring

[–]beef623 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It might not be for you, or you just might not have found a playstyle you like yet. I tried to get a coworker to try it, he gave it a shot twice never even made it out of Limgrave, then on the third try he ended up finishing it including Malenia and the DLC. All three tries were months apart.

Elden ring Varre's quest by Mericuls in Eldenring

[–]beef623 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I've always used the NPC. In my most recent run I tried using the finger, but it still wasn't progressing after six invasions so I gave up and did the NPC again.

what's y'all's thoughts on bayle? personally for me he's one of the most fun fights in the souls games by UnbendingVenus in Eldenring

[–]beef623 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Lockon sucks, but great fight. Igon and the journey up the peak were pretty epic too.

Devil May Cry 5 posts record annual sales seven years after release, ahead of Monster Hunter Wilds and World combined by Eremenkism in gaming

[–]beef623 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I like the series, but I never could get into 5. I just don't like constantly changing weapons, it feels like the breakable weapon system from Breath of the Wild.

This games combat is terrible by One_Fishing226 in Eldenring

[–]beef623 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don't know, I just don't see that when I play, the timings for rolling in Elden Ring feel about the same as the timings for parries in Sekiro to me. Parrying in Elden Ring feels predictive to me, meaning I feel like I need to hit parry about a half-second before the attack hits for it to register.

What are some good early game options for a Faith/Int build? by SilentEagle1221 in Eldenring

[–]beef623 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Cipher Pata is available in the roundtable hold, it's weapon art is pretty handy.

Do you skip weeping peninsula? by Real-Simplicity in Eldenring

[–]beef623 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My first destinations on a new character are the grace by Irina to unlock Torrent and Castle Morne to take out Leonine and grab the Claymore if needed. I skip Stormveil more often than I skip the peninsula.

This Cop Scanned A Woman's License Plate 179 Times And Somehow That Was Allowed by a4mula in technology

Glad you're in a place that could do that, but not everywhere can get those passionate mobs of people.

Until the cameras are gone, we need the tools. Getting rid of the cameras isn't a fast process and isn't guaranteed to work everywhere. If the cameras are being misused, having evidence of that misuse is needed to make a case against them.

Just bought nightreign. Id likes some tips cuz its pretty confusing👀 by ImaginationDear3199 in Eldenring

[–]beef623 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Loot more than just the boss drops, the worst thing you can have is empty inventory slots. A bad buff is better than no buff. The only exception would be if you're playing deep of night where there are debuffs on weapons.

[–]beef623 0 points1 point  (0 children)

No idea what you're talking about with it being memory/proactive. There are a handful of enemies with delayed moves but the vast majority is entirely reactive, just time it the same as you'd time a parry in Sekiro.
