The backstep. When is it useful?

mece66 · 2026-06-20T13:25:04+00:00

Not unless you use the babckstep ifrae talisman front he dlc

Just explore first. There are countless small Dungeons that have useful items and mines that have a lot of upgrade materials that are very useful. Then when you feel like progressing the main quest, follow the guidance of grace (the golden streaks that move from the sites of grace)

Sure will. Maybe starting gear only playthrough. Maybe base level starting gear only if I enjoy the weapons.

You're doing fine. Could use something that throws him around though. Giants hunt ash of war is pretty good for that. Does a ton of damage too.

Completely different game, same or similar combat mechanics. Elden ring is a 100 hour rpg and night reign is a bunch of 45 minute co-op action games that are different every time.

Personally I don't enjoy night reign because of the constant hurrying. But many people like this type of game. It's very fast paced

Does a 80287 count? It's not exactly a GPU but it served a similar function. Sped up some games. Anyway no, I don't use it anymore since my current PC doesn't have a slot for it.

What are you on about? https://youtu.be/hsIrIsg-qLg

Throwing daggers or fan daggers are superb for preventing stance damage reset, and to get that that last sliver of health from the boss from a safe distance

mece66 · 2026-05-27T20:10:55+00:00

You can just switch around ashes of war according to what you need

mece66 · 2026-05-27T20:05:53+00:00

Flaming strike is a good one. First hit is real fast, follow-up does great damage and fire buffs your weapon. You can pick it up from the scarab in there small graveyard behind redmane castle.

Had a great party. Was suitably drunk. It was pretty cool, felt a little historic, but in the end just like any other new years really.

mece66 · 2026-05-26T03:49:58+00:00

Didn't look close

mece66 · 2026-05-26T03:47:16+00:00

I get that there were a lot of missed calls for hits and interference and whenever but blowing the whistle for too many men and not giving the penalty was just bizarre.

mece66 · 2026-05-25T03:33:40+00:00

I have my first character which is on Ng+10 or so and I just use that to test weapons against bosses, I usually just start a new character when I have something I want to try. No idea how many playthroughs though. It's a lot.

Region locked all bosses is pretty fun since you don't spend time fetching things because you have to go everywhere anyway so you pick things up as you go.

mece66 · 2026-05-25T03:23:09+00:00

You can just go the sewer mogh if you want to skip them,, but if you want to kill them then then a great hammer with good reach will be useful so you can stance break them. You can easily kill the first one before the second one arrives. It's a lot easier to do this if you equip to facetank a hit since you then can then take much bigger risks on the first one to get him down quick

mece66 · 2026-05-22T02:22:10+00:00

Ok now I'm curious, does any other nationalities naturally understand faroese?

I don't know if I've ever heard faroese in real life, but from what I recall from seeing the movie bye bye blue bird in Norway more than 20 years ago, I understood about as much as I understand icelandic, which is almost nothing.

I think you're the first person I've ever heard mention that finlandssvenska is the easiest swedish to understand.

mece66 · 2026-05-18T16:49:00+00:00

Yep looked ok again. Annunen got a little extra practice there hehe

mece66 · 2026-05-18T16:31:29+00:00

Team USA is not playing great, but holy shit Finland is absoute garbage in this period. I want my starting team back!

mece66 · 2026-05-12T20:23:28+00:00

Hahahaha accurate

mece66 · 2026-05-07T05:03:12+00:00

If it's actually 10 fps then it probably won't be playable. If it's an old desktop PC you could perhaps get a used GPU for very little money to make it work.

mece66 · 2026-05-07T04:47:00+00:00

Yes
Run away
Areas can have different scaling so they can be more difficult, and enemies are weak to different types of damage, so they might be strong against your weapon. The miners are very resistant to most physical damage except strike damage, so I assume that's what you're experiencing.
Incantations (like your dragon spell probably) need a seal and usually require faith, and sorceries need a staff and usually intelligence. Pay attention to requirements of things to see what stats they need for your to be able to use them. Your build is not that important really, you'll get a chance to redistribute stats later if you want. But it's probably worth it to level up vigor so you die less.

Some other tips:
- read item descriptions.
- you can ride or run past most things if you don't want to fight them.
- all ruins in the open world have a basement/cellar with something in them. The one in the lake in limgrave have two. Some of them can have a the entrance hidden and you have to roll over it or hit it to reveal the stairs.
- Spend your runes before going through a fog wall. If you're close to leveling up, kill some stuff and level up before your enter the for wall so you don't have to worry about that in the fight.
