honestly i liked that it was only 3-4 hours long with maybe 2-3 hours of side content for you to go back and finish. chapter 3 and 4 were way too long. 10 hour chapters plus secret areas that can take another 3 hours is just too much.

did you get the true ending?
Last boss was imo not too hard, but still quite fun specially thanks to how he taunts you, like when he paralyzes you when you are about to heal, grabs your bottle and takes a sip from it.
I think I had more trouble with the final boss of chapter 4, and of course with Erlang. Probably depends on build and playstyle tho.
Defensive build sounds kinda useless.
Lol, I had the same complaint, but compared to SOTE, this was a walk in the park. I recommend abusing Cloud Step and your transformations. What I highly recommend is not to use your transformations only at the end of the fight. Golden Lining and Ebon Flow can get A LOT of damage in early into the fight and when you really need them in a pinch, they might have cooled down and you can reuse them again. This is a nice trade-off because during the transformation and Cloud Step, you're also invincible. Cloud Step is also invaluable in giving you time to breathe, heal, and apply buffs, even when unupgraded.
God bless you
, those bosses are pretty easy for me and most people, just a few tries and they're down. I'm afraid you might go crazy fighting the last two bosses, haha. Do you know Isshin from Sekiro?
Yeah, if Chapter 5 bosses made him hate the game, the final boss and the last secret boss will either make him quit or uninstall it.God bless you
The women adhere to traditional Chinese beauty standards. They’re all beautiful, well-spoken, polite, elegant, and feminine. They aren’t sexualized because pretty much any pre-modern culture (and even modern ones) frown upon women exposing themselves or being flirty/provocative.Female characters in this game are total knockouts. They aren't sexualized, but their models just look insanely good. The western studios should take note from this; you CAN have good looking females without being sexualized. Just look at these Wukong designs.
Based Edge.Well pack it up boys, edge scored wukong a 6/10, same score as dustborn
If i hear ANYONE ever say again that edge is the last good videogame magazine left, i'm gonna riot.

Honestly, spell binder is the most fun i had with the game starting from chapter 3 when you get it to the end of chapter 5 when it becomes pretty much useless because of how much damage these bosses were doing to me forcing me back into cheesing them with pluck of many and vessels.
Lets see what happens to this game come goty time. it will go up against ff7 rebirth, astro bot and space marine all of which scored higher. it will be interesting to see if this game simply clicks with more people like death stranding did back in the day after getting an 82 aggregate on metacritic because even though critics liked it they didnt think the game was for everyone.Edge are such fucking clowns
Imo goty is more about popularity than quality. Poor monkey has nothing to do against Astro and FF.
Yeah agree. I loved Wukong during the prologue, but the predestined one being silent through the whole game was kinda lame. The game also assumes you've read Journey to the West, which is a big mistake if you plan to make the game's story enjoyable to anyone and not just the chinese public.
I’m steamrolling chapter 1 & 2 so far in NG+. With spell binder on, I clear almost the whole chapter without the need to rest.
You basically become a god in NG+ and knowing the enemies and stages now I’m doing them much faster.
Who needs mana? Just monkey bonks
I take it you’re still in Chapter 1? The enemy wolves in Chapter 1 are the basic trash mobs who barely attack. You’ll soon find yourself fighting much more complex and aggressive enemies.
Yeah, still in Chapter 1. Just took out the three bell monk, water priest, and mistbro. The bosses are getting a bit more involved which is good.
You played SOTE, so this game's difficulty is nothing you haven't seen. There are definitely challenging bosses, but none comes close to the likes of Messmer or Rellana, let alone Promised Consort Radahn. Usually, the White Clad Noble (which I believe is probably water priest in your case) is the first skill check. Following that, you get tougher enemies and bosses, but I'd say you won't see much of a challenge until 1-2 bosses in Chapter 2.
what are you doing? each chapter has a secret level that gives you an item that is designed for each of the chapter's final boss. you should not be tackling bosses without them. you are just making them harder when they are already hard.
Yeah, I finished my entire NG+ playthrough without ever taking more than a try against any of the bosses. Including Erlang who made me piss blood in the normal campaign.
Solo? I don't think he's even close. I find him comparable to someone like Nameless King. Quite challenging, but he has plenty of openings, and his recovery window after some combos is quite long. He also doesn't attack you as soon as you stand up and has no guaranteed death attack that is hard to avoid like Waterfowl Dance. His damage output is much lower than those guys and he's a lot less aggressive than Radahn at least.
Nah. Nameless king took me something like three tries. Malenia five or so.
Five or so? With Waterfowl Dance that just kills you if you don’t know the very unintuitive way to dodge it? With the health regen on hit? With the two health bars that give her a whopping 33K HP, almost twice as much as the hardest bosses?
I never had particular problems with it. Even without super-precise dodging, you back the fuck out as soon as you see the animation is starting and you are probably ok.
"A bloodhound Fang and no fear to hit people in the face with it" is was what "my build" consisted in for most of my time with Elden Ring.
