I closed the portcullis at dragon bridge on about a half dozen unlucky chosen undead. And introduced probably triple digits of afk chosen undead to the dark hand R2.

I'm not remorseful about it. But I do know it was wrong.

[-] v4ld1z@lemmy.zip 6 points 5 days ago

Wow that's evil. You've probably helped just as many people as a summon, right?

Right?

[-] Alwaysnownevernotme@lemmy.world 3 points 5 days ago

Oh sure. I helped lots of people with O&S and the gargoyles and Artorius.

But I also invaded upper blight town with a bow.

And invaded sens fortress with great magic shield and a rapier.

I don't really like my odds upon reflection.

I dropped off of DS1 in Sen's fortress. I know there's no forgiveness coming, it's alright.

I vow to complete it some day though.

[-] GrantUsEyes@lemmy.zip 5 points 6 days ago

The sin would be to give up forever, let's say you are on an extended break.

I didnโ€™t beat Elden Ring at lvl 1 with daedicars woe equipped so Iโ€™ve never really beat the game apparently

[-] v4ld1z@lemmy.zip 8 points 6 days ago

You're forgiven. I'll assume you've played through the game as a wretch, barefisted - that's enough

[-] hypnicjerk@lemmy.world 6 points 6 days ago

i got every achievement in elden ring on release except for ranni ending. still don't have it.

[-] v4ld1z@lemmy.zip 9 points 6 days ago

You, probably:

[-] eezeebee@lemmy.ca 4 points 6 days ago

You stay away from my wife

[-] anistorian@lemmy.world 5 points 6 days ago

I looked up where to find the Zweihander :|

[-] v4ld1z@lemmy.zip 6 points 6 days ago

You're forgiven. Peak weapon

[-] eezeebee@lemmy.ca 4 points 6 days ago

I have never used the Claymore or the Zweihander

[-] v4ld1z@lemmy.zip 3 points 5 days ago

๐Ÿ˜ญ How dare you

[-] froufox 3 points 6 days ago

I played the game with my monitor turned on... Basically cheating ๐Ÿ˜ž

[-] v4ld1z@lemmy.zip 3 points 5 days ago

Ts ts ts, disappointing. If you haven't played through the game using the power of your imagination, have you really played it? Next thing you're gonna tell me your brother was playing the whole time and that the USB steering wheel wasn't even plugged in?

[-] froufox 2 points 4 days ago

What, steering wheel? Isn't it supposed to be played on a dancepad?

[-] v4ld1z@lemmy.zip 2 points 4 days ago

Nah, that's too easy - you have too much directional control

[-] GrantUsEyes@lemmy.zip 4 points 6 days ago

For my first ER run I had to summon mimic tear to beat Maliketh, XD. No even Malenia stomped me that hard. Now I wished he had more hp.

[-] v4ld1z@lemmy.zip 6 points 6 days ago

Brother, you're forgiven and were never guilty to begin with. Summons are part of the game - they're fair use

[-] GrantUsEyes@lemmy.zip 4 points 6 days ago

Haha, thanks.. (I'm not a bro, tho (โ€แ—ขโ€) ) Mentioned it 'cause it felt like an absolute cheese. From -dead as soon as phase 2 starts-, to -first try with mimic-.

[-] v4ld1z@lemmy.zip 4 points 6 days ago

Apologies :) Meant it as a gender-neutral term

I know what you mean, but I wouldn't worry about it. I feel like players shouldn't have to justify a certain way they want to play a singleplayer gamer. It's supposed to be fun :)

[-] GrantUsEyes@lemmy.zip 5 points 6 days ago

Meant it as a gender-neutral term

Oh right! No worries, how dense of me... Haha. I don't even mind irl, ironically I'm kind of gender neutral presenting but online my inner "not everyone is a man" ^tm^ thing goes off.

[-] v4ld1z@lemmy.zip 5 points 6 days ago

I get that. You get to decide how you'd like to be referred to and what you're comfortable with. I'd rather be corrected by someone than use language my vis-a-vis is uncomfortable with or does not identify themselves with :)

[-] GrantUsEyes@lemmy.zip 4 points 6 days ago

Thanks, you are nice! Well then she/they is alright with me.

[-] v4ld1z@lemmy.zip 3 points 5 days ago

Awesome :) You could also add your pronouns to your display name if you'd like. Many people do around here

[-] GrantUsEyes@lemmy.zip 2 points 5 days ago

Ooh, Voyager doesn't show those so I never knew. I'll check it out on desktop.

[-] v4ld1z@lemmy.zip 2 points 5 days ago

Yea one of the main reasons I don't use Voyager, personally, and only Jerboa. Jerboa is also the "official" Lemmy app, so it's quite feature-complete. Some things are missing, like embeddable videos, but that's a small price to pay for customisation. :)

[-] JakenVeina@midwest.social 2 points 5 days ago

I believe the reason most players despise the Sovereign Libra fight is because it authentically emulates the experience of being an invader in Elden Ring. Hostsbare finally getting a taste of their own medicine, and they deserve it.

[-] A_Union_of_Kobolds@lemmy.world 3 points 6 days ago

I don't use the evergaol relic

[-] v4ld1z@lemmy.zip 4 points 6 days ago

You're forgiven. If you kill enemies faster, you get less game for your money - you're just getting the most time out of your experience

[-] A_Union_of_Kobolds@lemmy.world 2 points 6 days ago

๐Ÿ˜‚๐Ÿ˜‚

Tbh I go back and forth. I've got one or two options that if I play them right my dps is pretty comparable

[-] djsoren19 2 points 6 days ago

I tried to do a run of Elden Ring without visiting the Roundtable only to accidentally kill Varre, which prevented me from going to the DLC. Also, not visiting the Roundtable prevented me from entering Leyndell. The modern wrong warps didn't seem to work, so instead of finding a workaround, I just gave up on the run and haven't played ER since.

[-] Sas@beehaw.org 2 points 5 days ago

Killing Varre doesn't prevent you from going to the dlc but combined with not being able to pass Leyndell does. There's a small portal on the way to the Haligtree that takes you to Mogh's which now that i think about it makes a lot of sense

This is a community for discussion, news, and memes pertaining to the video game sub-genre "soulslike".

Given Lemmy's size, the definition of soulslike may be treated relatively loosely. While games like the numerous FromSoft titles, the recent Star Wars Jedi games, Lies of P, Nioh and similar games should be the focus, games that incorporate soulslike elements - like Hollow Knight and Blasphemous, for example - may also be discussed here.

Basic Lemmy-quette applies. Additionally, since flairs don't exist yet, please do make sure to include a marker to denote what game your post is about in square brackets for clarity's sake. An example could be:

[BB] This enemy is so difficult!

or

[DS1] Anyone struggling with the gargoyles?
