Can you make a video on how to get back into Elden Ring after being absent from the game for awhile? Similar to an updated beginners guide (combat, controls, etc) with tips and tricks you’ve learned along the way?!
So my question is.. if the scadutree fragments simply increase your attwck power and defence… then that would mean if you’re a level 250 character with max weapons and optimised build you shouldn’t get wrecked in the dlc like we are right? I’m assuming a level 150 would struggle much more than a level 250? Or are we all equaled out and the only thing scaling in the shadow realm is the scadutree fragments?? I absolutely love the dlc I’m just trying to understand how this new system works🤔
i mean your defense or attack doesn’t increase when you level up, it’s just about where you put your points into. the fragments are necessary when it comes to actually being able to play through the dlc without getting dicked
I tried that boss about 30 times yesterday with several talisman combinations but only made him down to a quarter fp. No blessings so far. Will try it again this way because of the challenge.
You make it look infinitely achievable but I’m still not touching Elden ring with a 10 foot barge pole. My intact controllers and screen will thank me. but the video is appreciated, thanks Tag 😂
@@tokie2100 why are you trying to convince me to assassinate my tech? What did my poor console ever do to you? 😂 I’ll probably bite the bullet one day, I poke open world explorable game worlds, just gotta get used to dodging the idea of a dodge button I’ll have to actually use rather than go ignore 😅
I got 99 vigor and 5 scadutree blessings and still getting 1-2 shot at times. I was worried I was gonna be to op with 99 dex/arc and 80str. Not the case. Ng4
I thought my dual curvesword bleed build was gonna destroy everything...that huge fire thing in the beginning humbled me hard...it's like it wasn't even getting scratched Also a bit rusty on the controls coz last I played in Dec 2022
A way to farm faster on that hill is to just use the relic sword and the gold wave ability and kill all the googly eye dudes on the cliff you can farm like 10 mill xp in 5 mins
Eh, that’s always been Elden ring. I did a different build each play though and I’m not going back to brain rot baby mode. There’s gotta be a weapon in the dlc that’s gonna be nuts.
Thanks for the tips, I was hoping to not have to be on the internet while playing my favorite game. Well, was my favorite until the 5 weapons I found are absolute trash. No wonder there is a blessing scale. It enabled from to be lazy. Gonna play a bit more. Maybe they don't want is to uave the joy of finding a new cool weapon, just the blessings😢
Imo fragments can be helpful but you need to be careful if you want a challenge and don't want to ruin your character by upgrading to much and making it to easy... 7 seems about right for me.
Hello. Can I add a few to the damage negation/survivability list? I think these could be useful to mention. :) Body buffs (use 1 of the following) -Boiled Crab (20 % reduction) -Black Flame's Protection (previously 35 % reduction, now after patch propably 15-25 %) -Florissax Dragonbolt (amount not yet known) Aura buffs -Golden Vow (15 % reduction) DoT healing spells (choose 1) -Blessing of the Erdtree -Blessing Boon (both of these can be amplified with Old Lord's talisman, boosting hp/s and overall time) Physick Flask -Opaline Hardtear (15 % reduction) -Crimson Bubbletear (+30 % of max hp when hp drops below 20 %) Ashes of War (everything here stacks) -Holy Ground (great stationary DoT and AoE heal and 20 % damage reduction) -Endure (45 % reduction) -Braggart's Roar (10 % damage reduction, can be used on both left and right-hand weapons at the same time for twice the effect*) * Alternatively use Braggart's Roar on left-hand and then Endure on right-hand shortly after. Other -Greyoll's Roar (10 % damage boost and reduces enemy attack power by 15 %) -Acid Spraymist (throw at the enemy, reduces enemy attack power by 15 %) (Greyoll and spraymist do not stack if I remember right) -Warming stones (AoE and DoT heal; kinda expensive though) In practice, with these you could reduce damage even further, to 0.8×0.85×0.85×0.8×0.85 = 0.39 (~40 % of normal) of what you said in the video without even taking Endure or Braggart's Roar into account. With Endure and Braggart's Roar active at the same time, that is 0.39×0.55×0.9 = 0.19 (~20 % of normal). Here are some more, if you may. Some cheese tactics from the base game -Sleep arrows or sleep pots (Ranged option for sleep, arrows are much more affordable than pots, both work extremely well with enemies that can be put to sleep, not yet sure how many dlc enemies are prone to sleep; Base game includes giants, trolls, giant crabs, giant crayfish, giant dogs, giant crows, mad pumpkinheads and runebears for example) -Darkness incantation (De-aggros non-boss enemies for a few seconds or until they are hit: When a tough enemy sees you and charges at you, cast the spell and lead the charging enemy to the Darkness cloud for the spell to take effect. Go behind the enemy for a backstab and and immediately after that re-use Darkness again to blind the enemy again in order to do another backstab; Repeat until target is done, or use the time provided by the spell to cast a more powerful AoW or a spell without risking taking damage in return) -Black Knife Tiche or Omenkiller Rollo (can solo many bosses in the base game) -Fallen Hawk Ashes (alternative to summons like Tiche, these little fellas have greathsields to block damage and because of that they are extremely durable, and also good at taking aggro)
Im still rather new to the whole Elden ring difficulty scaling and stuff, so would level 250 on ng+3 or 4 be manageable? Also what type of build should I go for? I was told from a friend to just go dual giant-crusher, but I’d really want a speed and dex based build.
I’m 160 running a dex/arcane build and am fine. You just need to get the scadutree fragments, they are what mainly impact the difficulty of the dlc. Any build can work, just like in the base game.
play any build you see fit man, js make sure you optimize it. the big thing though is to collect even a few fragments to even out the difficulty just a little bit
Man i entered the dlc while being level 321 ng+7 and im literally dealing like 270damage to rellan and getting 2 shotted even tho i collected every dmg boost i could for now
Don’t you love grinding out levels preparing for the dlc just to get one shot from just about everything because someone had the bright idea to soft cap the scaling behind collecting fragments smh wow

-Black Flame's Protection (previously 35 % reduction, now after patch propably 15-25 %)
-Florissax Dragonbolt (amount not yet known)
Aura buffs
-Golden Vow (15 % reduction)

-Blessing of the Erdtree
-Blessing Boon (both of these can be amplified with Old Lord's talisman, boosting hp/s and overall time)
Physick Flask
-Opaline Hardtear (15 % reduction)
-Crimson Bubbletear (+30 % of max hp when hp drops below 20 %)
Ashes of War (everything here stacks)
-Holy Ground (great stationary DoT and AoE heal and 20 % damage reduction)
-Endure (45 % reduction)
-Braggart's Roar (10 % damage reduction, can be used on both left and right-hand weapons at the same time for twice the effect*)
* Alternatively use Braggart's Roar on left-hand and then Endure on right-hand shortly after.
Other
-Greyoll's Roar (10 % damage boost and reduces enemy attack power by 15 %)
-Acid Spraymist (throw at the enemy, reduces enemy attack power by 15 %) (Greyoll and spraymist do not stack if I remember right)
-Warming stones (AoE and DoT heal; kinda expensive though)
In practice, with these you could reduce damage even further, to 0.8×0.85×0.85×0.8×0.85 = 0.39 (~40 % of normal) of what you said in the video without even taking Endure or Braggart's Roar into account.
