I started a NG+ and basically bullied everyone until I reached Owl. Got stuck on him for 2 hours.. I don’t remember him being this difficult in my first playthru.

His sword sweep one shots you at full health bar (19 vitality).

What kind of damage boost do these bosses get in NG+? Is NG+ supposed to be harder than reflections?!

That was absolutely brutal!

I am using living force with the purple lazulite flame to put my sword on fire. Does this do damage buff against normal boss/enemies? If so how much?

Thanks

I just cant seem to trigger it consistently; either end up doing normal attack or charged heavy if I hold it.

I am using mortal draw and it has such a long startup.. so the timing is tight already as it is without me fumbling in front of a boss few times before finally getting it off.

Anyone have any nifty solution?

At least in the beginning. Elden Ring is not easy but the initial open world exploration/farming/upgrade options make it so you can much more easily tip the scale in your favor. And use of I-frames in Elden Ring is lowkey busted.

Sekiro in the other hand is absolutely brutal. The combat is unforgiving, and the linear experience makes it so you have to get good (you better be able to parry, jump or mikiri on command with cat like reflexes). Every miniboss has the ability to make you question why you hate life so much that youd sit thru this torture. I am looking at you Seven Spears Yamauchi and Elite Jinsuke Saze.

This is coming from someone who has only played two souls games, Elden Ring and now this. I beat Elden Ring summonless with nothing but sword and elbow grease on my first play through but I don’t remember it giving me this level of aneurysm early game.

Anyways, I am absolutely loving this game lol Thanks for convincing me to play 💯

Edit: I just made it past Elite Jinsuke Saze so please no spoilers ahead 🙏🏼

Edit 2: I love how some are saying “Cold take” while others are defending Elden Ring’s difficulty 🤣🤣
Just sharing my experience guys, I am sure people have their own unique gaming background and experiences with these titles. Not trying to change anyones mind 😆

I recently played Elden Ring and put in 200 hours after having hard time getting into it. This game has always been on my radar and it’s on sale for 29.99.

Any ER players that played this after?

I was watching flakes 2v2 series(C2 ish episodes) and he almost never challenges as first man unless ball is in the center area and he’s covering for a shot.

He almost always shadows them into the corner.

If I try this in Diamond, I will be crucified with “Take the shot” spam.

I wonder if game has evolved and this play style is less effective now.

I tanked down to Diamond 2 after a break and my god the amount of people with ego here is unreal…

You score a goal. I say Nice shot. You say thank you. We best friends. Like it’s basic etiquette bro.

Except, I say Nice Shot and it’s crickets.. I go hmm maybe they have their chat off.

Nope. They make sure to spam Wow for any slightest mistake I make.

Good vibes bro 🙄

I keep on getting stun-locked into his combos in phase 2 after getting hit.

From what I remember from last season, Cassie was chasing Nate but Nate seemed semi indifferent.

What happened?!

The dynamic seemed to have flipped.

1. Nate is bending his back over for Cassie who basically has him under her thumb.
2. Cassie has turned into someone completely different? The whole flower arrangement thing and the crash out at reception. And wtf was that reaction to the end of episode 3?!

Am I missing something?! Or is this by design and we are expecting some clarification to how it got to this point in future episodes?!

I am just a casual watcher who hasn’t done any reruns so I am lost..
