So right now I'm just exploring the early game areas that I missed and I'm realizing I missed a lot. Found Patches.


Fun part is I'm so overleveled for all of it, it's essentially god mode.

Before CFB came out, I started NG+ after finishing the DLC. Because I added another 30 levels or so and maxed out a bunch of new weapons, the early part of NG+ has definitely felt like god mode and it’s been awesome lol. I’ve never been a no death run kinda player, quite frankly because I’m just not good enough, but so far I haven’t died (did a few field bosses including the dragon, and cleared all of Stormveil castle).

The other day I was fighting a field dragon, doing well and had it down to 25% health. All of the sudden it took off and just vanished. Fight over.

Is that typical? Do I have to track it down to finish it off or just go back to that area later? Is there a time limit to beat them?

Fortissax did that and I had to look up how to fight it.

The other one that did that was the one that flies down from the hill above and crashes down.

This one was just out in the open in an area after I beat Royal Knight Loretta. Health bar went away and the music stopped. Fight legitimately over. Was so weird


BTW, this has been my weapon as of late. Starsourge Greatsword. Smashes so hard. Loving it.

Second most annoying thing I’ve come across is learning you needed to get an item before killing a boss or do something. I can’t get white mask bc I killed Mohg already and I can’t get bolt of grandsax bc I did ashen city

that dragon in particular shows back up in another location. you are now in an area that will start a big NPC quest where, if you progress far enough along in it, you'll get to the area where the dragon reappears.

For anyone interested this is really freaking awesome. It’s a new mod for Elden ring called Grace Born it’s on Nexus and other places here’s its description

quote:

Alpha release of an overhaul that aims to turn Elden Ring's base game into a more grim and sinister experience. Introduces functional trick weapons, firearms that can parry, quicksteps when locked on, perma-night and many other additions. Currently early in development


I don’t play ER on pc but my buddy downloaded the mod and I tried it a bit. Very cool. It’s only been out about 5ish days

the shite that folks are able to do with mods is the ONLY regret I have for being a console person over a PC. It's one or the other for me...I have no desire to do both. At the end of the day I don't care enough to get into the weeds with a PC build and have been more than happy with my playstations....but damn it sure would be cool to fire up an elden ring mod. I love watching videos where folks set up boss v boss tournaments and stuff.

Yeah like I said I got to play it a bit at my girlfriends sisters husbands birthday. I fought Margot, Renalla, and the big first set piece dragon with a trick weapon like they have in Bloodbourne and all the designs have been reshaped to the individual level to make it all more gothic horror

And it’s just their alpha. I think the whole base game works with the trick weapons but they put a lot more love and care so far into making the first like 40% become BB


Some console retard Sony losers actually wanted them to sue the mods for IP infringement lol. There should be a rule if you have a mega popular IP everyone is dying to just gobble up much more of and you sit on it silently for a decade someone modding a similar game into that style is fair gamez

Finally jumping back in here since I’m far enough along in the dlc after my late start. I just beat messmer last night and I’m afraid I broke all the npc quest lines. Are the quests that fricked in the dlc? I can’t find anyone anymore.

I got sidetracked in the keep and went all the way to Romina and killed her before going back and fighting messmer. I talked to both ansbach and Leda in the keep but now I can’t find them anywhere.

It’s also weird to me how messmer’s room turns into an area like the lost table where you can’t attack but I don’t see any npcs there either.

I do have a lot of areas i still need to explore on the map though
