If you used any of these you didn't beat the game

Knight starting class. Not even a joke. Everything in there will carry you.

If you used giants hunt, glintblade phalanx, flame of redmanes, ice spear, royal knights resolve, golden parry, quickstep, bloodhounds step, spinning weapon, glintstone pebble, bloody slash, square off, charge forth, raptor of the mists, seppuku, blood tax, phantom slash, or carian retaliation at any point in the game then you didn't beat it.

>is that a big damage chunk? aaaaaaa i'm going insane
maybe if you skilled int IRL you'd realize that dps is more important than one blood loss proc per fight

PVP SHITTER STARTER PACK
>Rivers of Blood
>Moonveil
>Double Cross-Naginata
>Vyke's War Spear
>Radahn Set
>Rennala Set

No, I used occult spiked caestus along with a STR/ARC build, later also using the Mohgwyn spear.

>if you used the things the developer put in the game that works as the developer put them didn't beat the game
If bleed was broken you'd think they would have fixed it in the same patch that rebuffed Radahn or something.

Did I give you permission to speak, dog?

>I got to see Fromsoft completely engulfed by normalfag culture
DS3 was the tipping point

Whats the armor?

souls is easy and always has been easy

What's wrong with Radahn armor or maxing dex?

Radahan's.

radahns set
dunno why its there because its not particularly impressive amongst the heavy sets

I have nightmares about how bad they're gonna normify Armored Core 6, especially given the success of ER

>99 int
>Not 79 int and getting the other 20 from talismans/great rune

Never bought/downloaded it
I just donated $100 to my favorite titty streamer and told her where to get the moonveil
I beat the game

elden ring wasnt normified at all you ffucking assblasted troglodytes.

Elden Ring was the tipping point. The next game they make might be utter garbage now. ER is still good.

You did good, she may send you a heart now. These $100 will help her buy new lingerie to use with Tyquese.

elden ring "you didn't beat it" is almost as bad cope as when ds2fag were spouting YOU AREN'T SUPPOSED TO USE A SHIELDS in the game that has 50 shields and had a fan contest to design new shields

>you didn't beat LE GAME XDDD
everyone beat the game which is why it isn't an accomplishment worth bragging about
kill yourselves

why do you think From embraced the open world meme and included ash summons to straight up carry shitters, you delusional bitch

If you beat last boss above lvl 1 you didn't beat the game.

>dude Pokemon Gold is the hardest game ever!
>wtf you mean you didnt nuzlocke it you didnt really beat it!!
Why are Soulstroons like this?

>NOOOOOO MUH SEKRET CLUB
maybe choose an actually niche series to be elitest over, shitter.

Moonveil and Mimic were nerfed in 1.03

>started using sonaf after the nerf
A-am i still good bros? Can i still hit zanzibart S rank?

I'm a faith build using the humble claymore and Haligtree set.

I used the Mimic, bleed sometimes and ash summons and I beat the game.

An open world armored core wouldn't make much sense considering you need a base to refuel and restock on ammo. It'd only work with a mission based structure.

>normalfags seething

you didn't beat the game

>waaah they made the game open world, its normie trash now!
and why exactly is open world bad? you sound like a bleeting sheep repeating whatever memes Yea Forums feeds you. while some concepts integral to the souls-like experience dont translate too well into open-world format, this game was an absolute joy to play and the open world aspect was a good addition.
>muh ash summons
literally elitist seethe.

>Claymore
Do people really think this is the shittiest thing you can use? It's above average

It's not about it being "elite and difficult" or "niche" you low IQ mutt

i see so many faggots in the radahn set its slowly making me anti radahn

Inherent bleed weapons with occult infusion and 80 arc have like 10% less damage than with 80 of their best scaling stat and 110+ bleed buildup, even more so with sudoku. Which translates to even more direct physical damage because there are multiple items in the game that buff your damage for causing blood loss. The only thing that prevents ARC/occult from being completely uncontested as best setup is there are many bleed immune enemies.

His name is Jamal you racist chud

>I use great weapons and spam jump attacks lol

>no mention of cheat engine
I beat the game.

Pc release of Dark Souls was the tipping point.
Console exclusivity kept the cancer at bay.

You're not making sense.
Also, DeS is CLEARLY the best and most based game From has ever made. ngmi

same thing happened to monster hunter with world/iceborne. hope you enjoy your elden ring:rise edition lmao.

This guy comes up and slaps your little brother's ass, wyd?

First run was strength faith with no bleed weapons
Second run I alternated rivers of blood, moonveil, and hoarfroast.

Holy shit it really is easy mode using any of those things.

First run it took me a whole day to beat Malenia, second run took 1 minute.

DS3 is the only Souls game where magic isn't that good.

You've been spamming this for weeks

Fromsoft was normalfag since Dark Souls 1.
>It's not about it being "elite and difficult" or "niche"
> bemoaning about normalfags
Dark Souls is and always was for faux-elitists that get filtered by anything with any actual depth.

Spirit ashes suck because they ruin the experience of a boss fight by drawing aggro away from the player. You don't have to learn it's moveset just hit it in the back while it fights your summon.

That's why Bloodborne threads are still high quality to this day.

I'm mostly using it because it matches my knightly aesthetic and I like its moveset. I'm tempted to use the Halo Scythe when I find it, but it's silver/red, not silver/gold.

You're trying to hard to fit in

My exact build but with shield lol

Not saying that those weapons aren't cheesy but unless you gave yourself amnesia between playthroughs there's no reason you'd do worse on your second run because you're going to have experience and have built up some muscle reflex from your first go at her.

back up far away, cast terra magica, drink flask of wondrous physick, use comet azur
works 90% of the time

playing the game rationally with all the tools presented to you is beating the game, and is in fact a more legitimate tactic than shunning certain items/strategies

normalniggers think they can arrogate "git gud" culture from us when Elden Ring is piss-easy for katana wielding guide followers, people who summon a full party to fight Godrick, and spirit ash abusers. They then have the audacity to fedora tip about how they're just using "intended mechanics" that all the boss encounters were, by their own admission, "balanced around."
So the intended experience is oriented around completely trivial encounters where you press X to win and wank off while the boss melts in three seconds? Doesn't seem like a game you should feel proud about finishing.

open world is bad because it exists to waste your time for little to no benefit
having 15 minutes of horse riding between every scrap of dungeon is a strict down grade from just having a big sprawling dungeon you can explore all at once
elden ring as well as every other open world also suffers from having a ton of repeated content because they need to have low effort easy to produce content to fill this overly huge map to justify it being so big. its funny people used to get in a fit about fighting a souls boss twice now people are out here defending a boss appearing 9 times
the souls series already had moments of seeing distant landmarks that you end up visiting without needing to be open world which is the only advantage open world kinda brings to the table

ds1 was already the perfect open world, elden ring is lazy, poorly thought out trend following

Where the fuck is the patch, I can't take it anymore.

Where my glintstone pebble and phalanx chads at?

>the le ebin hardcore gaymer franchise
>ever not being normalfag cancer

If it wasn't intended to be like that then why did the developers put them in the game user?

pebble + carian greatsword + rock sling carried through all of early game and most of mid game

If they consciously made the intended experience shit that doesn't reflect too well on FromSoft now does it

I don't think bleed is getting significantly nerfed, ever. Blood shit has some part of the lore tied to it, and they usually never nerf lore shit. This was the exact case with Bloodtinge in Bloodborne, and that stat was actually, genuinely fucking overpowered as hell. You could increase your physical AND blood damage by just equipping physical gems, and it only worked like that for Bloodtinge because arcane did not get that, you were forced to do top tier chalice dungeon farming to get good elemental gems and they were all worse than pure bloodtinge anyway.

So you will more than likely never see people not using a katana or bleed in general. There's fucking blood fire in this game, the fuck is that even. Bleed got nerfed in pretty much all the three dark souls games but bleed didn't have any ties to the lore at all, it was just a status. In Elden Ring there is fucktons of blood and bleed shit to use so I highly doubt they will neuter them all just because of pvp autism or hell, even pve.

Sorry the benefit is I get to walk over a hill and see caelid spread out Infront of me. It's 100% worth thirty seconds of your time. You're just a joyless faggot.

What the fuck is that icon on the right?

I see it show up in my screen and then dissappear but i have no idea what it is or does.

I used his armor because it looked cool, is it op or something?

I wish there was a single boss in the game that had enough recovery to let you get off three hits with any collosal weapon that didn't mean that jump attack spam was the optimal way to play the game.

it means you can summon ash spirits

>If they consciously made the intended experience shit that doesn't reflect too well on FromSoft now does it
Good job retard. Now you're getting it. From has always been shit. The fact that it took you drones this fucking long to get that through your thick skulls doesn't reflect too well on you clowns.

I didn't even know Varre had a quest. I mean I assumed he did but I never found it. Did I still beat the game?

>game has a dozen mechanics
>but if you use any of them other than signle-wielding a one handed sword you're cheating
Why are from-autists like this?
