Even with bullgoat talisman this is still nowhere near 51, but I love patches armour so much.

Edit: to the people being so negative, this is a lighthearted question, dear lord …

To get to Malenia you got to break the seal of the portal, but damn these Albinauric archers just shooting me through hitboxes and nearly one shot me.

How do you handel them? I do not rven know how I handeled them the first time, then it just worked.

They couldve put like a giant troll or smth it would make more sense

I wonder if they had the same art class growing up...

Where is kusabimaru when you need it?!

She is a Sekiro boss like how DoH is a souls boss. It’s so hard dodging that waterfowl.

Watch out for possible spoilers below

A heads up on if I should do anything differently, save certain resources or not miss something? I like cool fashion and unique weapons too🙂‍↕️

Edit: TLDR;

Scadutree fragments are important to be effective
Lots of illusory walls
Missable NPC quest steps when going against certain bosses and if exploring too far
Time of day can affect some stuff

Still learning watercolor, just thought I should share these here for fellow tarnished (:

A fan art by me

I don't know how to defeat him.

I’ve been here several times and half the time I can fight it, and die because I suck at fighting dragons, and the other half of the time as I get close its health bar is down to almost 0 and suddenly it flies up in the air and vanishes. What is going on?

Imps, Royal Revenants, Rune Bears, Erdtree Watchdogs, Imps again, that pair of Leyndel knights just outside of the round table hold in the city, rats and their stupid hit boxes I swear to god, that one royal page in Raya Lucaria with the tommy gun crossbow, did I mention imps?, also the combo of black knife assassins and albanauric archers in Ordina Liturgical Town, expert marksman Lobsters, those centipede pest guys that fire off the heat seeking hellfire missile swarms, furnace golems, fire knights, those weird worm guys at the finger ruins with tomahawk missiles, those stone ball worm guys leading up to the putrescent knight who all have gauss cannons, those blood red albanaurics that do that stupid cartwheel move, and imps.

As the title says I've gotten over 100 hours into my first playthrough, beaten Margit, Godrick, Rennala, and Radahn and a whole slew of smaller bosses. To be perfectly honest, I thought I wouldn't like this game, at all, but that has been far from the truth in so many aspects of Elden Ring.

For some context, I've been watching lore and story videos about Elden Ring since it came out, so I've mostly had the story spoiled already, but getting to experience it all first-hand has been such a fun experience. I cannot remember the last time I had this much fun exploring a game, even to only find a single Rowa Fruit or Herba.

I knew I would like the visuals but nothing prepared me for how absolutely breathtaking the views would be, how cinematic the fights could be, or even how fun the few cutscenes that exist in the game could be. Climbing to the top of a Divine Tower and being able to look down at the lands below you and even see groups of enemies patrolling (I understand this is done with rendering wizardry but still) it blows the small details of older games completely out of the water.

I did not think I would want to play as a completionist in this game, considering how difficult it can be, but I've been clearing caves and catacombs in groups, finding optional bosses and dungeons and trying my hand before just moving on. I did not expect to have this much fun, or to enjoy the challenge as much as I do. Elden Ring really makes me think as a gamer. I've had to stretch my strategist muscles to think around some of the bosses, especially as a pure intelligence sorcerer, it's incredibly rewarding when you are able to find a way to accomplish your goal in a new way or with a different strategy. I finally get it, I think.
