http://# Hide contents One weird thing that happend last night. I've been stuck on a certain boss for about 3-4 nights now, every time after a few tries I go elsewhere to level up etc. Well something I did must have affected the world state because after beating some bosses elsewhere the boss I was stuck on disappeared and was replaced with... some kind of festival. wat?

Spoiler Are you talking about Radahn? I fought him for the first time tonight and just LOL'd. This fucking game man. So ruthless.

Spoiler heh yeah, that's him

So I just found out that the scaling in Elden Ring is different than the previous games, the biggest gains are from 30-40 now. So It sounds like having vigor at 40 is more than double the life bonus of having vigor at 20. I have a respec item which i'm holding off on using but when I do I plan to put more into vigor. It's getting to the point where my character is getting one-shotted by regular enemies in the far north.

Feel like I must be 70%+ through the game

Spoiler Radahn was actually really fun when I found out about the summons. Jesus! Christ! what a memorable boss fight. This one was one for the ages.

Cinematic gameplay

Still discovering gigantic, ridiculously huge areas that lead to gigantic ridiculously huge areas. Almost 80 hours btw rofl

Lol me too. I just passed 100 hours and Just opened up a massive area lol

Ok the patch that fixed arcane scaling is fairly nuts. Rivers of blood special is pretty crazy since bleed procs go through shields! I'm now like 130 hours in and still haven't beaten the game although I now have the option.

I took a break at Maliketh since it was basically just impossible for my build despite being at 99 str and level 150 or something. Farum Azula was just a chore to get through and I reached Malenia and saw the end-game levels so mostly just got sick of losing so much productivity to the game.

I'll probably go back and finish it later this year, but it's hard to say. Definitely got my moneys worth

It's currently taken the crown from UMVC3 as a video game I only plan to play for an hour at a time then find the entire day is gone when said hour is complete ?

Creating an Elden Ring rip-off is definitely on my to-do list.

Yes! But it’s challenging. You have to be able to accept a certain level of frustration to enjoy it.

12:32 minutes Elden Ring speedrun record skips all but one boss

there is a softcap at level 60 or so for most attributes. you may well be using those points in something else

Lmao. SMH…

It's still a soft cap though so if you have a weapon that only scales with one attribute then it's fine to go over 60. I have strength build that has str at 75 because no other attribute will scale the weapon. I do wonder if that means quality could potentiality do more damage though.

Also btw there's another soft cap at 40.

Scratch the speedrun world record of 12 and a half min that I posted yesterday; it's already old news

New world record today ~9 min

cannot complain too much about a game I've put one million hours in, but dis some bullshit right here

It sort of bothers me that Godfrey, despite being a Tarnished, is portrayed as kind of a giant, so here's a mod I created that makes him (almost) player-size:
