It looks like you took enough damage to kill you but it didn't happen

I don't think the Sword swipe got me as I rolled into it. Must have been the sparks floating around.
Pure luck.

Pfft, you had a whole 3 pixels to spare.

As much as I said I wasn't going to play again, I've just done NG7. That's it, as hard as it gets. To be honest, not too tricky. Maliketh phase 2 was pretty tough, as was open play on Faram Azula.
Anyways, the spiral glintstone was great on the Elden Beast.

I thought I'd have a quick spin on Malenia before I started Journey 9.

Needed to respec after 2 hours of getting obliterated.



Level 340.

You are insane for sticking with that

Finished the game late on Saturday after just over eighty hours (around six of which were spent on Radagon/Elden Beast) and level 114 on an Astrologer build.

This was my first proper FromSoft game (had started Dark Souls Remastered on Switch, but abandoned after Twin Gargoyles). There was a lot of early adjustment, and I felt guilty about how often I was having to Google mechanics, but I understand now that these are very much community games - without any real quest tracking, I suspect it would be near impossible for most people to play through most of the quest lines without Google/YouTube.

The variety of bosses and landscapes was superb. Nearly everything felt rewarding and weighted fairly. There sheer volume of tools available for any build is remarkable. I can see why some of you keep going back. There were a handful of moments where I actually cheered when I got a hard-fought victory with my hodgepodge Magic build. Rarely happens in games for me (Perhaps Cuphead was the last time?).

I think the only major bosses I haven't faced are some of the secret Dragons and Malenia - tempted to go back, but my hands are sore for now.

This popped up on my youtube and I thought it looked amazing and that others here might appreciate it. This guy has sketchbooked his whole Elden Ring playthrough, and it looks super cool!

I really envy people who can be so passionate about something....

Oh absolutely!

I'd love to know what it feels like to enjoy and care about something that much, I bet it's great. Instead I just have to live vicariously and watch other people enjoy things, then doubt if even that's real, because how do I know they're not exaggerating their enjoyment of it to generate engagement/viewer retention, and thus ad revenue.

Capitalism has broken my brain, and I want to get off.

Id say sketching a 600 page book sounds real enough to me, I want to believe in this guy's passion
