Ok, this is insane, but I have no idea if its real? Does ring fit work on pc or something?

Players are already experimenting with unique play styles for Elden Ring, with one fan taking down a boss using Nintendo's Ring Fit Adventure...

 

People have beat the Souls games with all kinds of controllers. It's definitely real.

I'm around 8 hours into the game, I think, and it so far seems much easier than most Souls games. And while I'm not super deep into the game, I'm used to Souls games feeling very difficult at the beginning. The open world overall does give me more space to move. I was in a poisonous area not too far from the beginning facing 

Spoiler

actual giant enemy crabs

 and I could easily outrun them on a horse and use sorcery from far away.

The open world is easier, and Sorcery is definitely easier. My int/mind build is breezing through things I had to work for with my Vagabond.

Story or mini bosses? Some only show up at night, like Death Bird and Warmaster. 

 

Both really. I just finally found out how to access the 3rd main boss red wolf through Google. I'll tackle him first thing tomorrow. If you come across any maps with boss locations posted here please. I already have the one you posted earlier.

try using an interactive map where you can filter what you would want to find like this one

Still in the first area... fighting some weird dragon thing in Godrick's Castle. This thing might be tougher than Godrick.

Godric was pretty easy. I killed him second try with my jellyfish tanking. Margit was harder than him.

Tonight I got my ass handed to me for an hour straight on a boss in a dungeon in liurnia. Royal Revenant. He's just too fast for me. Every time I enter the chamber, he's just on me as I load in, shredding me. Its weird. Definitely the hardest boss I've fought.

Played the whole evening and discovered a lot of cool shit. Had to force myself to stop.

 

I'm tryin so hard not to ask some questions about areas here, some 'secrets' are driving me nuts argh

I haven't even "progressed" to the 3rd "story biome" yet. I beat the second rune bearer and went back to exploring Liurna. Ended up finding cool stuff, like my frost axe. 

 

But goddamn i need new armor! Aside from my helmet, im wearing my starter armor!

I killed Margit pretty easily, three tries I think. But I just beat Godrick after over 30 attempts and I had to use the summon. Good. Lord. He hits HARD. But down he goes finally and feels good man :dab:

It's just weird to see modern westerner's demand modern western sensibilities from easterners with eastern sensibilities...

All I said was that it's weird to expect - not demand - something from a developer who has traditionally hasn't catered to western audiences. I don't expect anyone to cater to me, if they do, that's nice.

Remember there really isn't a bad weapon. I beat DS1 with claymore, halberd, and black knight halberd. DS3 was pure claymore. Elden ring is probably gonna be pure Halberd. The unique wrapons are cool and look cool but like the claymore is the fast of all the great swords with good damage. Perfect for going in getting hits and dodging out. Halberd is weaker then the claymore but has longer reach.


 

Im using the Baemore, works pretty good. Basically has the same move set from DS3. At some point I’ll watch build videos and figure out how to make proper builds for my second play through. For now just going with old reliable and doing the best I can not to spoil much for the game. Maybe when I get the option to respec I’ll start fucking around with other weapons. Until then, the heavy Baemore has been fine for me.

Had an extremely successful evening. 
 

Found that curved great sword. I didn’t see what was so great about it at first. Then I saw what it’s special attack is, that thing is a cheat code. Your invincible for seeming the whole back flip. Finally killed that fucking Tree Sentinel. What an asshole he is. Took down Margit in two tries. Cleared the castle. Took down Godrick on my first try. Figured out the summoning lady quest and upgraded my Jellyfish and Wolves to +2.
 

I was level 35 for the castle so probably a bit over leveled but whatever I’m too old to be running the same shit over and over for 3 hours haha. 

 

Then the vista when you come out the other side of the castle, holy shit. I feel like after 15 hours, that’s when the title crawl should have dropped 😂 Feels like the game is just now starting. Lets go!!!!

Something I didn't realize but actually had done before involves those rainbow stones.

 

I guess if you drop the stone off a cliff and it shatters you won't survive the fall.

 

I threw one down an earlier area a while ago and it shattered but I jumped anyway and died. Now at least I know that shatter has some significance. :p

Legit how I beat DS3. Heavy claymore 2 handed GG. Also got invaded today. Beat em. Oh also I returned to that crystal cave and there was blood and it wasn't mine.

Stillwater Cave can ingest a satchel full of Richards. Easily the shittiest area I’ve encountered so far. Fuck this shit. First time I’ve wanted to throw my controller.

 

Well at least the boss wasn’t hard.

When I got there, I was like “oh cool, I’m just definitely going to be poisoned, nothing to be done about that” and treated it like timer. Just charged through, whacked the boss, got the hell out of there. Doubt I was there for more than five minutes total.

Today im going to try to find armor.

I'm not ready for the next legacy dungeon. There's also a boss I need to beat in Godrics castle, but I've kinda just not bothered because im so high level now. 

I havetwo evergaols in liurna. Im finally done with the Royal Revenant. It took me at least 2 hours. I finally had to fight him naked for the extra speed, and even then it took 6-7 more tries, on top of the 30+ with armor. Definitely the hardest boss in the game for me so far.

The curved sword doesn't just have a cool Ash of War, it also has a bleed build up, which just decimates some bosses.

Yep, he's hiding in there and tough for me. I couldn't summon help for this one.

 

Also, did you guys beat the 3rd boss red wolf yet? You have to find a key to get into the academy where he's hiding. I looked it up and will try him today after work. Kinda cool there is a puzzle element to it but I don't have time for that lol.

Oh is he connected to that big elevator in the circular room that you can’t get to work?

Another Int blade I found just laying around. Looks pretty cool though. Requires 13str/15int, which seems counter intuitive, but whatever, something else for the war chest.

Yea I found the crystal sword and sold it. It was weak but looked cool.
