Found D's brother, wondered why I couldn't interact with him more, realized it's because I was a dumbass and sold his armor. Kind of upset I locked myself out of this questline; I won't be doing a second playthrough, so I looked up the full thing on YouTube. I'm glad the poor guy can get his revenge, Fia had it coming. The amount of simps who are butthurt over her getting killed is pretty funny.

It’s even sadder that the reason the D twins are so dedicated with the Golden Order, is they accepts the twins without any issues. Because apparently their condition is being considered as cursed.

Edit: D’s brother last word kinda implies he committed suicide so that he can actually meet D in person

At least you found him. I didn't know she expired after fighting the dragon. I wanted that sword so bad...
:(
 
So I guess I'm back to getting the shit kicked out of me. I can't seem to gain any ground against Niall in Castle Sol. Whether I bumrush him into his second phase or take out the knights, I can only seem to get him down to about 1/3 at best.

Maybe I should respec? I've been running a split STR/DEX build that's been working well up until now, but I've also got the Darkmoon Greatsword burning a hole in my pocket. But that's gonna burn up a lot of levels on INT.

On the one hand, that opens up a lot of magic abilities. On the other hand, I'd basically have to learn how to play the game all over again.

He's not too bad. I summoned mimic ashes, went after his summons, stun locked them with the ghaza wheel, then swapped out for the NAGIKABA to take on the boss. Figuring out the delay with his lightning leg can be an issue.

My go to strat is to use bewitching branches on his summons. Run up to dual wielding knight first and use your branch just before his summon animation finishes. He'll distract Niall while you use a second branch on the other knight.

Use the Bewitching Branch against his summons. If you really suck use Rot Pots to slowly eat away at his health.

Why the fuck are Ranni's Two Fingers so big? They're the biggest ones in the game.

Probably because by the time we find them, they're already dead. It's possible their body has started decomposing and has become bloated.
Or it's just to make a more fitting atmosphere, I wouldn't put too much thought into it.

He bleeds like crazy. Let the mimic tank him and chuck kunai at him.

If you want to be MONDO cheesy (like me) you can go to the side of the castle where the knight and his dogs are chilling, go up as high and as close to where Niall is chilling, and just pepper him with arrows through the hole in the wall until he dies. Yes it's cheesy as hell, no I don't fucking care. If I had the mimic or thought about the branches I might have not done that though but fuck him, I already killed his ass fairly in Caelid.
 
I think I'll go hunt down River of Blood because I've been using Bloodhound Fang for the last 30 hours anyway. I like that the game doesn't have you swapping out gear every 10 minutes but after awhile it can get old.
 
What are everyones thoughts on invasions? I feel like you either get matched up with someone with a terrible weapon who can barely scratch you or someone whose phantom is power stancing +10 ruin greatswords trying to one shot you. Inflicting madness on someone while the funny big pot guy spins at them and they can't do anything but watch is really fun.
 
Went and got River of Blood, respecced and beat Niall on my first try, although we did end up killing each other on the last hit which was kinda cool.

I'm not exactly sure what bleed is supposed to do though. Does it sap HP? Because it didn't seem like it. Corpse Piler is pretty sweet though.

Blood does a flat amount of damage when the bar fills up. It’s the same thing as with enemies that infict bleed.

It builds a bar, like poison or rot, and then it deals a set amount of damage plus %-based damage and goes on cooldown for a few seconds before you can start to build it again.

In all honesty, it feels a little over-tuned at the unfortunate cost of poison, which is pretty dogshit when you compare it to rot.

Ah, that's neat. So it's like a crit.
 
There is one thing i need to credit elden ring for, there "anti cheat", is way better as in all souls games together. yes easy anti cheat can be bypassed rn but fromsoft might fix it.+ alot of shit which could get abused got fixed as well

it not as messy as dks 3
