There have been rumours and wild speculation about Elden Ring setting.

Basically people are speculating that the game setting isn't really a dark fantasy one but a mech sci-fi one on a disc world. There is an alleged mid game twist similar to Bloodborne or Dark Souls where the player finds this out.

Miyazaki has also stated in a interview with vice where he says that he would like to make a game inspired by the anime Aura Battler Dunbine and Escaflowne both of which are mech fantasy shows. He has also talked about an old FromSoftware Dreamcast game called Frame Gride which is again in the mech fantasy genre.

People have also found a Elden Ring symbol on the in game moon and some of the item descriptions are very Bloodborne like.

The one nice thing about God Devouring Snake is that if you have the mimic tear, its a lot easier. Once I got that, it was gravy.

Some of the bosses where From Soft was just like, "Here's a couple bosses just dropped in a room" to me are the most frustrating. They aren't fun, and they tend to be jank as fuck. Godskin Duo for me has been maddening.

My issue with it is not so much the fight but the gimmick of the fight. Unlike the Yhorme fight, they give you a STR based weapon that has just a more "interrupt" Weapon Art than damage dealing. Add in that its a Great Weapon and could take a while to get used to the slow speed of the weapon. And its a two phase fight, yea will take Radahn gimmick over the God Devouring Serpent. And yes the mimic tear can help but I stopped using it for Phase 1 because it would just be stupid and run right into the lava and die/almost die in the first phase, even with the Flamedrake +2 Talisman.

IDK just wondering if it would have been a little better to give various scaling Serpent-Hunters.
 
The Academy of Raya Lucaria has very annoying enemies. Just moving around the area was significantly more difficult for me than fighting the wolf miniboss. I basically gave up on fighting anything and just started running past it all to make any progress. I found the main boss and I'm glad I'm nearly through with this area.
 
Remember that Ahmed Salama person who became very salty on Twitter about Elden Ring being more successful than Battlefield 2042 and the new Horizon game?

I have a mystery that I can't solve. When you get to Siofra River, you can look out across the empty cavern and see ruins that look like they used to connect to the aquaduct running through the area. Out on the ruins, there's a lone man staring off into the "night sky". Well, you can actually get out to the other side of that empty expanse, either much later in the game, or by doing an NPC questline and betraying the guy (he's a douche so I did that). But from the other side, I couldn't find a way out to the specific piece of ruin the man was standing on. After looking again with the telescope, it's clear he's a Crucible Knight.

Does anyone know how to get out to this guy?

Oh no that's not the fun part.
The biggest factor are two thing: The infinite FP Physick buff, and another one pineappleman prolly didn't add, the mimic tear.

People like using the beam, but my personal favorite is this:
The windup is massively faster, the 3 guaranteed shots aimed at your target has massive stagger, also meteors.

If you want the laser, try looking into the Sword of Night and Flame, it's a lot less glitzy considering it's a weapon art and FTH/INT based. But at the least it won't eat all your FP in seconds just for kill some mediocre enemy.

There's a teleporter in Liurna Lake on this large hill called the Four Belfries. You need an imbued stonesword key and have to enter one of the three portals. (I think it's the top one).

And yes he's a pain in the ass to fight.

BTW there's only SIX enemy camps in Horizon forbidden west. You clear them all and you get get BIS legendary weapon. He bitches about the number but he's thinking about outposts which all you do is just snipe the leader and that's how you clear them(they state killing everyone is optional), those are around 16-17 because some are tied to quests. They're basically single level areas with a watch tower.

What is wrong with his neck?
 
So here is my shitty and lazy interpretation of the ending based on nothing beyond loose conjecture.
Each one leads to a different Souls Borne ending:
Frenzied flame ending leads to Dark Souls, you become Gwyn and annihilate the remaining dragons (which was the only faction you don't genocide in the game's plot) and huge trees.
Ranni's ending is Bloodborne since stars and eldtrich space abominations.
Fia is... Demon's Souls? There is some shit about sleeping, so there's that.

I expect a royalty check Matpat.

Thank you. I knew about the belfries teleporters, but the only one I've opened is the one to the starter zone so I could get the infinite invasion item and fight Mohg.

Edit: Holy shit, Elden Ring is producing the funniest DSP hatewatch content in years

This game has been catastrophic to my and my man's sleep. I'm so wired yet I can feel my body and brain shutting down.

I thought I was growing out of games since I was becoming so jaded to them. It turns out most AAA games aren't very fun, but this has made me feel like a kid again.

After playing through Elden Ring twice and then going back to play through Sekiro again for the first time since launch, Sekiro is better. I think Elden Ring legitimately suffers from the opposite approach Sekiro had. In Sekiro the game is laser focused on a particular kind of playstyle, Elden Ring being so lenient in how you can play it makes it feel pretty boring after beating it once or twice, especially since alot of weapons make the game a cakewalk. I remember alot of people deriding Sekiro as a rhythm game but that at least makes fights fun since you can perfect them, I don't really feel like doing 80% of the content in Elden Ring ever again, especially since the world, lore, and story feel pretty uninteresting and borderline incomplete compared to previous From games.
 
In a recent interview Miyazaki was asked what kind of playstyle he likes to use, and he responded with "tough" characters that can trade blows with the enemy. Find this funny because I think this is the worst playstyle in the game currently. Recommend reading the entire thing for yourself its pretty interesting.

Beat him last night after eight frustrating attempts. You have to fucking zero rush him when he's at or below 25% dump everything you have weapon arts, knives, spells, arrows. He has too many massive one hit AOE attacks to play defensively if you back off you die.
 
I'm excited to start a second character later after beating the game with my strength build. It's gonna be a wizard. Also apparently there are a bunch of NPCs I didn't see yet, or maybe I did and just don't remember their name because they all sound so samey. Whoever decided to multiply the 'Gwyn' surname gimmick across three different factions and families needs to have their eyes ripped out.
