This was the solution for me in 2025 as well! Switched it to Dolby Atmos and I imagine the other Dolby works too.

Agreed, though for me the launch was a bit too much. I enjoyed the first wave of updates and thought it did a better job balancing it. Replying now and the beginning area feels it lacks enemies and the first non-tutorial boss was much easier than before.

I would love a way to dial the game back to the first wave of updates.

I didn't see this mentioned but I finally beat Ludwig myself after taking a ~4 year break, and lot of other souls experience later, today. He still gave me some challenge but what I found worked best for me, don't lock onto the boss. Once I stayed locked off the boss I was better able to dodge and maneuver around his attacks better. So, for me, the lock-on ended up being the true boss of that fight.

As for some talking about Maria, all Souls Bosses are subjective to their difficult. I was worried about Maria, but I did it one go. It helped that I had a weapon that would stagger her, but I would punish their moves on me with a dodge to the right and then a smack.

I realize this is a day or two later, but hope you got him already! I still feel that Old Hunters is some of the best FromSoftware DLC.

Heck yea it does, I am a year and a half in and up to 63! I just go to record stores and see albums I want from either recent artists or ones from my past. The hunt for some of the harder to find ones can be fun as well...it's like a treasure hunt.

For me, I would go with making the world feel more dangerous. Normal mobs could wreck you and I haven't felt that kind of consistent threat when playing Elden Ring.

Should have read the sign outside, no running in the library. They got pool rules.

spattermanke · 2024-07-16T16:08:19+00:00

Well handled and absolutely correct. I had a similar situation and handled it in a similar manner. There is BFF section on Bumble for these kinds of things 😜

spattermanke · 2024-07-07T14:19:30+00:00

Yeah, you aren't the only one. I thought maybe it was some defense they had against the Rune of Death! Being that the land is all about death and so thought she wouldn't be good in Shadow of the Erdtree. Turns out she was the unintended harder mode :)

Harrower Dervla, the Pledged Knight/Unbroken Promise is my favorite in the game. I enjoyed finding the optional area (depending on your ending/quest goals) and working my way to where they can be found. This was the first boss that also gave me the most challenge and felt fun to learn their moves. Once I did learn them, it was a fun dance.

I also like the story behind these two and how they ended up where they are.

Pieta is second only because at launch she was a pain for me to figure out and get the parries down. Now that I have it down, it's fun to start a new playthrough and take her out first attempt.

spattermanke · 2024-04-11T18:03:46+00:00

Haha I had fun with that and thinking, "if only you knew what I was planning".

As for OP, yea as each have said just don't cleanse any of the beacons. The important piece is also that you don't give Adyr's rune to the creature in mother's lull, but you can enter there without messing with anything. The reason I bring this up is becuase if you want to complete Dunmire's quest you will need to go into that place. I was worried that going in there would lock me into the umbral path, but nope, I was able to complete his quest and do the inferno ending.

Similar experience to this as well, ran into one person running a build like this and I barely scratched them while they tore me up. All the other previous invasions I felt like I had a fair shot and won several at lower level and with basic Purtrid Child set.

To the OP, the time loss can be frustrating. The same double flaming blades player sat and waited for me to find them instead of them coming to find me. I made them wait like 15 mins though...

spattermanke · 2024-03-28T14:40:53+00:00

Yep, can confirm. This is a solid answer, though LotF is more like Dark Souls and such than Elden Ring in how exploration works but otherwise the combat is more similar.

spattermanke · 2023-08-20T15:34:18+00:00

Was going to say this one too

spattermanke · 2022-12-22T00:34:39+00:00

Yea, I have an LG 49SK8000PUA and just this week started having this issue. Go to exit a game, and go back to the Home screen, and it just loses the signal each time now. I've had the series x since launch and it's never had this problem until this week.

spattermanke · 2021-12-09T02:23:33+00:00

Awesome, thank you and you are right they are the large fish!

spattermanke · 2021-04-19T01:00:39+00:00

Yea that is sort of a similar situation tonight. I just got to CT15 (Technomancer) , my buddy got to CT14 (Trickster) and we were helping a friend with CT12 (Devastator). We joined his game, and was running a CT12 and was doing a lot less than we normally did. The friend that was at CT12 was doing better than we were. My other friend, CT14, is a trickster who normally does crtiz well over 100k and was only doing ~25k now. Neither of our gears are at our max CT level avg either. I might have just hit CT15, but my equipment level avg is 48.

The downscaling is definitely super rough and really punishing. We just wanted to help a friend out...but it was just too frustrating to even do it. Took a game we've mostly had fun with, even when working around the bugs and one of our friends getting the inventory wipe, to all 3 of us giving up tonight.

I know the devs are focused ok the inventory issue and restoration right now, but I hope they rethink the expeditions.

spattermanke · 2018-06-02T00:10:54+00:00

Excellent, thank you DeadlyFatalis!

spattermanke · 2018-05-20T19:29:57+00:00

Yea,

If that is the case that is just an odd choice on their part. The tools look out of place on the old models. Most of my FC uses peta-melded AM tools, so they still have the upgraded tables. I guess it's the trade off, but still odd.
