Both worked fine for me earlier

Just picked up the Official Wireless headset, does it no longer come with a 6 month trial of Dolby.  Only showing 6 days for me

I'm using a fingerprint shield +25 which just about lets me survive her waterfowl bullshit because there's no chance of me learning to roll through it. I'm basically dealing with a strength/faith build when ideally I should have dex if I'm using a katana, and possibly more arc for the bleeding? But then I'll probably have to switch back for the end boss from what I've read...

Swarm of Flies decimates her if you have the arcane stats to use it and a decent seal

Waitasec... You platinumed Elden Ring twice? Yikes.

Yep, was a whole lot quicker on PS4 as I just rushed through the game getting only what was needed for trophies.  Left it at the start of NG+ for any DLC they release.  PS5 is the main character

January

February

March

14 - Elden  Ring PS5 - Platinum.  Easily GotY, absolutely loved it and still playing it.  Bring on any DLC

15 - Elden Ring PS4 - Platinum.  As above

16 - Horizon Forbidden West PS5 - Platinum.  Improved on the first one so much, bring on any DLC

Its out, 17gb download

Just the final boss to do on the PS4 version now for the endings.  About 9 hours I think to rush through getting everything

YES! I've just randomly stumbled upon this Hoarfrost thing everybody keeps saying makes the game easy. Here we go!

 

 

Yeah, about that

Yeah tried that a few times. Never worked for me. Have my mimic fully upgraded but the boss just fucks off to the other side of the arena. Then it feels like about 5 mins to get close again for a hit. 

 

 

 

Respec?

Sorcery can nuke boss's

I still can't beat this boss with these stats. I have a maxed out greatsword , Heavy Giants Crusher and the big Red axe which are the 3 most powerful strength weapons. 

 

I beat the other optional boss which is supposedly the hardest boss in the game.

Melania

 

At my wit's end here lol

Try using Mimc Ash, hug its right or left hand side and there is a chance that the AI will break and keep the boss from moving or attacking, cheap way to do it but needs must

I've seen the AI break plenty of times using this method so worth a shot if you want to finish the game

Ploughing through the game on PS4 and just started NG+ on PS5, after updating my Bleed build now that arcane is properly working

Glad they have fixed the Arcane bug and some of the other glitches / exploits

Mimic Tear though, its PVE only, so not sure on that one.  Need to see how badly it has been nerfed

At least Bleed is still as powerful, time to actually use Rivers of Blood Katana now, its way more powerful than my twinblade after the patch

How do I get rid of this? That woman said she’d give me an item if I hugged her, but I’ve no idea what, and when I hug her again she says something like “Oh no, you’ve still got the item so I can’t give you another”.

Check your inventory, its a consumable

Anyone know what this red debuff is?

 

HP down,

Have you had a hug from Fia, if so use the item she gives you

Why are the bonfires (grace) still pointing in directions when I have completed all tasks there? (or at least I think I have!)

They always point there, they don't change

Arcane increases the per hit bleed buildup. 

And is scaling is currently broken, when they fix it it should be better too

Wow bleed really is a bit broken. Respecced for it and went into NG+ to mop up a few trophies and crushed the first few essential bosses:

 

 

 

 

1:30 each Don’t think I needed the summon for Godrick.

Told you, enjoy it while you can, suspect it may get nerfed

I'm running 2 twinblades with my build and they destroy in seconds

Started again on the PS4 version, powered my way to beating Godrick, this playthrough is literally going to be a run through for all the trophies, I wont be doing any opitional stuff

Once done with this, I will probably do NG+ with my PS5 character.  Dual Godskin Peelers bleeding everything they touch.  Had a quick go at Margit with them, it wasnt good for him put it that way

Thinking about downloading the PS4 version on my PS5 and going through the game again for the Platinum.

I love this game so much

And done, Platinum trophy achieved

Best Souls game, easily 10/10

If anyone wants any help on PS5 or PS4 as I think you can crossplay between them let me know

Will be going into NG+ tomorrow probably, unless I start a new character

Just hope that there will be DLC for it, although they would be fools not too

Easily going to be my GotY

Excellent work! I dread to think how long it's taken you. I haven't even looked at the achievements yet. Are they like other From games in that you have to do multiple runs and get every single major weapon, sorcery, talisman, etc.?

Everything can be done in one playthrough, including all 3 endings if you backup your save in the correct place

I should be done trophy wise with the PS5 version soon, only have 4 trophies left to get and 3 are the endings

Found and defeated dragonlord this morning, then spent some time getting the miners bells so I can buy all the smithing / somber stones I need to level up to +24 and +9 respectively

It takes 12 of each smithing stone to get to +24 apparently and 1 of each somber to +9

Im almost done

One optional boss left to find and then its the final stretch to do

Tomorrow I play hunt the dragon lord.

Got all the ashes, weapons, talisman and sorceries trophies out of the way now

Level 150 and currently carrying close to 1 million runes.  Really not sure if I should just keep on levelling up

Meh. Earlier it was great, especially with a katana as there’s lots of early enemies and bosses susceptible to bleed. As the game went on though, I found the bleed worked less often and was less effective (probably because I wasn’t levelling arcane), and the range of katanas isn’t great (though I know there’s one which I imagine is amazing that I haven’t got).

 

Ultimately, I know there’s always an element of FOMO but I found a lot of really cool looking STR weapons compared to dex ones, as well as tonnes of exciting stuff that needed faith or int. going through everything I’ve picked up in 98 hours, the dex options were sparse and not very exciting. 
 

There’s also a lot of bosses later on that you need to dodge two or three times before you get a window to hit, and if that hit is one or two insubstantial slices it’s less satisfying than a big old smack. I’ve staggered like one or two bosses the whole game, and I’m jealous seeing people online get staggers and high damage ripostes. 
 

It was fun enough, but on my new build I’ve rushed straight to the greatsword and pumped levels into STR so I can wield it immediately. Having a lot of fun with that.

 

Ooh what build?

Mega Bleed, can proc bleed pretty much with every attack if they are weak to it

Going to have fun with it, as I suspect bleed will be nerfed

Finally found Malenia this morning, cool fight but she quickly fell to the new build I am using.

Now to head onwards to the end

This game is easily 10/10, 100/100 A+++++ etc etc

Can't wait to see what DLC they release for it

I should probably not progress through this game in a semi-drunken state, especially given the scale of it all. 
 

I was just jolly cooping in the hosts NG+ Stormveil Castle, and i had absolutely no idea where to go. Not only because it’s 100+ hours ago on my playthrough and I’ve seen a lot of castles, but my memory is fucking terrible anyway. 😂

Have you stopped levelling now

I’m 150 now, running around Bitches area, although not got to her yet
