No the entire map for the DLC. I dont like the veticality of it. Most places you cant reach because its too high or too low. Dunno how else to explain it.Is it the map that Ansbach gave you then? Yeah I really struggled with that.
NPC summons actually increase the bosses health so it actually makes the fight harder sometimes. Spirit ashes however do not increase the bosses health.Just beat my first DLC boss last night. I felt like such a scrub using Mimic ashes PLUS a npc summon but the enemies in the DLC are unfair with how much damage they dish out so f*** it
Sacred Blade cooks NPC bosses. They just don’t know how to deal with it.Rakashna was the hardest boss fight for me so far, the stupid Katana has so much range and the window to deal damage is so small.
Plus a few times I had it down to such low health that I couldn't see the health and then died trying to hit it first in a combo.
Gaius is another boss that sacred blade melts. He's actually one of the few non-undead bosses weak to holy.Beat Gaius today. Man at first i thought that boss was complete bs, with a bs moveset, and it still kinda is, but once you get it down man is it a beautiful dance.
Messmer next after giving up on him and moving to Gaius. Im not looking forward to it lol
Yeah i had to switch up my build a bit for Gaius and used sacred blade.Gaius is another boss that sacred blade melts. He's actually one of the few non-undead bosses weak to holy.
Are you using Marikas braid? It shouldn’t be ine shotting you if you’re at blessing level 14-15 or soI havent beat the final boss yet but im getting to phase 2 pretty consistently. I really hope they dont nerf him but nerf the pillars of holy damage and make them more transparent, thats my biggest grip with the boss so far.
I am using the braid an am not getting one shot.Are you using Marikas braid? It shouldn’t be ine shotting you if you’re at blessing level 14-15 or so
I did use a shield, however, in my defense I used the leyndell knights golden great shield with no talisman or shield buff ash of wars or sorceries so he could actually break my guardMan i finally beat Prime Radahn after 3 days of trying. One of the most satisfying and accomplishing things ive done in a video game. Such a fun and challenging fight to learn and get down. Im not one to gatekeep someone especially in a SP video game but i didnt use summons or a cheesy shield strat build and face tank everything. I really hope they dont nerf him but nerf the pillars of holy damage and make them more transparent or something because they get in the way of things and make it hard to see.
Such a fun effin fight once you get it down.
One thing ive noticed about the ER community and maybe its a souls community issue is that theres a crap ton of gatekeeping that goes on which is ridiculous to me and im not going to gatekeep you or anyone else.I did use a shield, however, in my defense I used the leyndell knights golden great shield with no talisman or shield buff ash of wars or sorceries so he could actually break my guard
I disagree. I think that alleged gatekeeping is mostly non-existent and most people (on the r/EldenRing sub at least) couldn't possibly care if you're using summons or cheesy builds. Maybe it's different on other platforms but i've never found it to be the case that people care how you play Elden Ring. This is my first FS game so maybe my perception is off.One thing ive noticed about the ER community and maybe its a souls community issue is that theres a crap ton of gatekeeping that goes on which is ridiculous to me and im not going to gatekeep you or anyone else.
And theres honestly nothing wrong with your build. I had someone tell me i didnt beat the game and Malenia on my first play through because i used the mimic tear which is an insane take. Play how you want. Nothing wrong with using in game mechanics and items provided to you from the devs themselves.
I was theorizing about my build on how to take down Radahn and was originally thinking about using the Black Greatshield but i personally dont really find that gameplay much fun, to each their own. I ended up using M'lady with a bleed proc on it and with the impaling thrust ash of war and just learned the dance with him.

I'm grappling with this currently though. A lot of the fights are either going to take me hours and hours and hours (or days) of practice to get down. Or I can just cheese it with my mimic tear and be done after the first few tries. It's a bit of a conundrum for me personally.
I thought about using bleed but I ultimately decided to stick with my trusty inseparable sword. In fact I only used the weapon art for the whole fight, even though it’s pure holy sacred blade actually does decent damage against the second phase and has extremely good range.One thing ive noticed about the ER community and maybe its a souls community issue is that theres a crap ton of gatekeeping that goes on which is ridiculous to me and im not going to gatekeep you or anyone else.

That DLC is going to mess around with you, palFinally bought the game a couple weeks ago. Been having a blast outside of a few bosses. Astel in the Tunnel can go screw itself. I'm at the very end. I only have Placidusax ( awesome fight ) , Malenia ( this is going to take a minute ) ,and the end boss.
I just bought the DLC so I'm going to mess around with that tonight.
