I encountered an overworld mini boss on the critical path far north and the damage is pathetic.
I took it as a sign to find something better.

Just found out I’m too OP for the Atlus area. I’m one shotting everything. 
I wasn’t expecting that.
I love being OP in these games. It’s a very good feeling.

Yes, the rusted anchor is excellent and requires 26 str to one hand it. At +18 and 32 str, it’s a beast. You should’ve found it already. But the halberd should be doing good for you. Have you been upgrading the weapon? Are you putting points in the required stats? Infuse this weapon with the Heavy infusion too. It’s a must for STR builds.

The game is cheap like that on few occasions.the boss is................TWO crucible knights at once
And they dont play well together. Just two enemies

It’s funny when people gets destroyed by her tbh. Easiest boss I’ve faced in a souls game not named demon’s.

Is 35 vit ok? I don’t want to put more points in it, but I don’t know if that is enough. Lvl 79.

Late game bosses are pretty Savage, so don’t be shy about pumping more into Vigor if you really want

Very disappointed to see that Crucible Knights cannot be staggered in any way. It was a big reason why I wanted to try a colossal weapon STR build. Well I tried it and it's the same thing as attacking them with a dagger. They're eating up jump+R2 for lunch, they don't give a fuck. This is some Dark Souls 3 level of shitty design.

All depends on the build, I forego weapons art on the golden halberd and took barricade shield , now if I can block it it’s a cake walk.

What do you mean forego? You can just switch to 2H and buff with golden vow and switch back to 1h before fights.

How long does the vow last? I don’t want to do it during the fight.

45 sec.

I bought a sex doll, but I keep it inflated 100% of the time and use it like a regular wife
So not being able to abuse one of the strongest enemy types is shitty design uh?

They can be staggered. 3-4 guard counters in a row staggers them and opens them up to a critical attack. I eat those guys for breakfast now with my high STR/END build and a Visage Shield. Multiple guard counters seems to stagger everything, including the Bell Hunter (Darth Vader) nighttime bosses.

A summon is pretty much required (unless you have a cheese/broken build with Hoarfrost stomp/Blood Loss/that magic beam). I also realized that it's far easier to deal with the shield guy first as he's distracted since he's more annoying one on one when your eventual summon death occurs.
That or just be overleveled for the fight.
Really boring fight though as they aren't that varied or unique.

Guard counters yes. But weapon attacks? Never? Strong attacks from big weapons should've momentarily stunned them at the very least...

This game is fucking phenomenal wow.
Only 4 hours in and I'm just loving walking around the world and taking it all in, it's really something else this game.
I'm so glad I didn't turn my nose at this just because it can be a bit difficult.

They can be with strong weapon attacks as well as Ash of War skills.

Hi guys, I’m after some guidance and please! I feel a little lost, like I’m just meandering around, not doing anything meaningful.
I was flying for the first 15-20 hours, feels like I’ve cleared out Limgrave and Weeping Peninsula. Headed up to Stormveil Castle, cleared that out, then up to Liurnia to do Raya Academy. Then I headed to Siofra River (wow, btw), came out into Caelid but couldn’t really find a great deal to do that seemed to be substantial.
Then at a loss I headed up Bellum Highway, found Mt Gelmir and the boss. I skipped past the boss after a few tries (I’ll come back with a stronger bow) and ended up at Volcano Manor, through the hidden passage and out into that streets area with the rooftops. After half an hour or so I thought I’d found the path forward down towards the gravestone area with the lava, but no dice.
I’m just not sure where I should be heading. Any tips?

I think they can be with multiple heavy attacks as well. Because I just realized that my guard counters don't always count as guard counters because some of them hit mid-combo.

I'm level 127 and at the last boss in Crumbling Farum Azula - is this ok ? I'm getting hammered by it, and as a melee build it's frustrating, but also lol so fast of a boss.

Bosses just get progressively worse as the game goes on, it really feels like they were designed by a totally different team than the rest of the content.
Bosses in Elden Ring range from mediocre to outright bad with unfair tactics or even bland overall design. It’s somewhat surprising after how they nailed bosses in Sekiro.
My guess is that allowing ash summons gave From liberties to go crazy on the bosses, but I think they really missed the mark here. Demons Souls, DS, BB and Sekiro had so many memorable bosses, but here I just roll mu eyes at every encounter, even the main quest ones.

Just hit level 114 and got to the last area of the game. The capital city was amazing. Probably my favourite area.

Noticed some ghosts/other players doing something interesting by a grace
long story short, found a place to farm 13k runes in about 5 seconds. It’s 4 feet from a grace. This is perfect for upgrading a ton of different weapons, gonna come in handy when figuring out which whips I like best

Uh, yes? Making an enemy immune to one of the main mechanics of the game is, indeed, shitty design.So not being able to abuse one of the strongest enemy types is shitty design uh?

You have to unlock an area that contains Mohg, Lord of Blood
You do this by doing the quest for the guy with a mask at church of roses in liurnia
Once there get the palace approach ledge road grace
There’s a cliff with a mutated crow in the distance
Shoot him with a bow and he runs off the cliff trying to get you
I get over 13k runes with the rune boosting talisman
It’s right next to the grace so you can instantly reset it

Not sure if it's the same one, but this is one spot (with 2 options);
If I was close to having enough runes to level up, I would go there to top off rather than risk losing them in tough areas. Never could quite get the bird one to work efficiently, so I just took out the little guys, which is more fun anyway.

NG+ lets go!
Level 155, respec'ed and now a 94 faith monster. Loving all the end game incantations I haven't had the build to try earlier, finishing the game as minmaxed dex. The "black blade" spell omg.
Wrecked the intro boss and the Tree Sentinel first try. Really OP for Limgrave but there is a clear boost to damage and health on all enemies, need 2 hits on basic bitch soldiers with +25 Uchigatana with flame art faith B scaling and that means things could get really tough from Volcano or Lyendell onwards.

Her and Mohg are getting me down. Her with her shitty heal and him with his fucking blood loss attack.
