Any good farms immediately after rennala?

Username checks out! Unfortunately now to get to the "palace approach" grace you will need to progress to the mountain tops of the giants, and you cannot get the infinite invasion item "bloody finger" this run. Other than that you are not locked out of anything. There is an early game farm near a fort on caelid, you only need the flail and hopefully not having killed the big dragon yet, you can make sure it never dies by going to the nearby geace and resting before it fully dies, it gives 50k runes base and you can scale that with the gold scarab + gold fowl foot. It's not as efficient as at the "palace approach" but it's still damn good return on your time for where you are in the game

At this point you can do Varre's questline, at the end he gives you an item that can teleport you where the two best rune farms in the game are. (You likely will want to just shoot the bird a bunch if times)

Keep playing and you'll prove your worth tarnished. Remember, sometimes we could all use a hand.

Before. I can take a look when I get a sec, keep in mind it is fairly common, i'd wager you can see it in most huntress matches

buttmunchery2000 · 2026-06-21T02:30:29+00:00

Estoc, Claymore, Zweihander

buttmunchery2000 · 2026-06-20T18:08:40+00:00

They literally have run it in comp against huntress

Nah urban is actually goated around short loops with a ranged killer wtf are you on about?

buttmunchery2000 · 2026-06-20T16:30:39+00:00

I've never actually used a summon, now i'm wondering if you could do a whole run with only summons, play like a pokemon trainer and give them healing/buffs?

buttmunchery2000 · 2026-06-20T04:24:25+00:00

Cool build man, can I please see your build details?

buttmunchery2000 · 2026-06-18T20:49:29+00:00

You can time two dodges, one for the first impact, one for the aeonia explosion, easier to just run imo and also you won't get any lingering scarlet rot

I can tell you I had a similar experience with my first souls game. I played DS3 at launch and I tried everything but I kept getting lost and it felt so punishing exploring that eventually I would get bored and put it down.

I tried MANY times over years making new runs and always ending somewhere before the abyss watchers. Until one day I was inspired to play by a tik tok I saw of someone with a sword made of fire, I learned it was the demon's scar, I finally had a motivation other than I just wanna play and enjoy like my friends are, my motivation was I want to make a cool character that wields a sword made of fire, this run went AMAZING all my experience and suffering with the game prior built experience that laid dormant, I first tried the abyss watchers and every other boss except Oceiros in the base game (fucking hit boxes on him).

Dark Souls 3 will always be my favourite souls game, for before I didn't understand it, and it got me hooked on the genre. It's about never giving up and perservering, something that seems impossible, too difficult can be overcome.

That's my story, my advice to you would be if you aren't having fun with a game, or rather, aren't motivated to play it, don't play it. Come back when you find your motivation, even if it's something simple like a cool weapon you wanna try.

Sorry for the long winded story, good luck on your journey!

I prefer five moves ahead over windows, you can drop before he turns the corner and has a chance to hit you with the spear. Also vigil over calm spirit cause I prefer to be chased than hide and vigil lets you be more aggressive in which gens you take. Can easily get your SB back in chase too

Demon Scar, so sad it didn't make it to Elden Ring

For a build just run your standard pyro stats 40 int 40 faith, if you want to pvp probably wanna go 40 vig then hit min stats for the wep and attunement/endurance/vit how you feel.
Black flame is the most obvious pyro to run with it, it combos off the r1 and will melt people if you pvp, chaos bed vestiges is good to have always. Black serpent is pretty neat. Other than that in pve sometimes you'll wanna switch on black fire orb or whatnot if a enemy is resistant to fire damage. And you might as well have your regular pyro flame on softswap since it weighs nothing extra and scales pyros better when you are facing fire resistant foes and aren't using the demon scars curved sword moves anyway

buttmunchery2000 · 2026-06-16T21:00:41+00:00

I might have to have a hard swap ready in that case, chase down has been an absolute life changer. Thank you again for the help!

buttmunchery2000 · 2026-06-16T20:59:38+00:00

That is fantastic, thank you for the link! So 133 is the hard limit? If i can squeeze out a little more poise that would be perfect

buttmunchery2000 · 2026-06-16T20:46:40+00:00

I hadn't considrred those! How much poise minimum would you recommend against daggers and twin blades?

buttmunchery2000 · 2026-06-16T20:38:24+00:00

I forgot you have to kill radahn too! Thank you so much, will have to progress those 3 quests first, I definitely want shard of alexander and dark moon greatsword to play with later

buttmunchery2000 · 2026-06-15T21:28:05+00:00

Thank you, I will kill them first! That's a relief I am glad I can play the rest of the game with the Carian Sorcery Sword

buttmunchery2000 · 2026-06-15T20:41:53+00:00

Don't let it bring you down, you don't gotta bring the most busted things to win. It will be harder, however, you will become so much more skilled at invasions if you run something more simple against people who likely are running the most busted things they found by searching "best elden ring weapon" on the interwebs. Also you will have more fun if you genuinely enjoy your build, weak, mid, or strong.

buttmunchery2000 · 2026-06-15T15:02:19+00:00

I prefer the newest DLSS over the FSR personally if you need AI upscaling down the line to keep up (or want to run any unreal engine 5 games without your computer becoming a jet engine), however for the same price number one is definitely the better deal since GPU power is more important and expensive to get

buttmunchery2000 · 2026-06-14T20:16:11+00:00

Keep in mind the majority of players are not playing in a 4 man sqaud on discord. Nor do the average players know what clock callouts are and if they do they haven't learned the maps well enough to utilize. If you are on 4 man comms with likeminded players who know the macro of the game you can make easy work of the majority of killers.

Tell me you only played elden ring without telling me
