What's the point of NG+, all bosses are still weak af, and you have to grind for bell bearing again, I don't see any rewarding

there isnt any point.
Genuinely just starting the game over again while importing a weapon/armor set you wanna use is so much better.

I'm glad the uber cancerous all sorceries and miracles achievements of old never made it back.

Not him but the last time I enjoyed a game this much was the first 20h of BOTW
until you realize all the rewards are shit and nothing to find but shrines

If you wanna rush an ending real quick or you wanna feel overpowered for a run. If you want none of those then just start a new game and mule shit you wanna use if there are any.

FATHER OF LIES

The point is to dab on all the bosses that gave you trouble on NG

To get two copies of unique weapons for powerstancing, both sets the questline exclusive stuff, and to get some more ancient dragon stones. The real redundancy is NG++ and beyond. At that point you're just doing it for memes.

Is it cheating to use godrick's great rune? I know the answer is not but I feel bad since it makes everything so much easier. I used one and drestroyed a dungeon but I think I'm going to jump off a cliff if I find a boss

the point is you can do all that in ng
>challenge run in ng+

Wish BoTW had AoWs or something instead of the repeated rewards

You shouldn't feel bad because the game will throw bullshit at you and expect you to have that rune equipped.
nice meme

yes, good, good!
MORE!

Nah great runes require a resource to activate so it's okay. Think of it as an activatable Sorseal but won't get you killed.

i''m 170 hrs in and just reaching godgrey first playthrough

Hey if PS4 owners can manage to play one game for over a decade, 200+ hours is relatively normal.

That one reason i hated BotW, the fact that after a while, you know your only rewards are a shard you get each shrine and maybe a strong, disposable weapon, so that makes exploration lose it's point.
At least in ER, i can pretend the purple item behind an obvious trap isn't an arteria leaf.(which it will of course be, while the white ones are golden rune (1))

And you better do it in NG+. Fuck you're thick, perfect example of all the no game retards that post here now.

botw unironically rewards you better for exploration than ER does.

Just glad i didnt give in to hype and buy this game, thanks god

I kind of started cheesing towards the end with flame of the redmanes, that shit had ridiculous stagger. Maybe I'll go a full dex or STR build this time.

Is this a valid elden meme?

Not really.
There's never a point in BotW where you find a reward as good as the meteorite staff, and that'S technically at the start of ER.
Both have plenty of shitty rewards, but ER general put those behind death traps, whereas the good stuff is either in plain sight or actually hidden. There's also way more content in ER, the only things that kept my interest in BotW were the labyrinths, because the beasts were damn too small and easy.

I just noticed Elden Beast looks like a dick

ER (And souls game in general) found a way to hack your brain so it gets excited over a reward you will never use.

yes, it is!

how is ranni an lgbt rep?
Because she fucks wolves?
>friendly wildlife
oh no...

because she'll accept women as her consort

She marries you even if you are a girl. That's B

Another day has passed, I still didn't defeat her...

While there's plenty of rewards you never use in ER, there's also plenty that'll fit toward your build, or interest you enough to try it out in another.
BotW will give me weapon sacks and more health/stamina, and nothing interesting.
There's the armor pieces, but most are shit or shit looking.

that just means she's player-sexual.
Besides, from godwyn and fia having a "child" that's literally just a rune, you can see that having kids and all that ain't like on our planet.
At least not when demigods are involved.

being player-sexual means shes not straight, which slaps her into the LGBT category

I'm 80 hours in and just beginning to explore the capital, how slow am i ? i also did a lot of side content like the underground ranni quest lake of rot

The end game bosses still basically one shot you, and your damage non linearly caps out at some point.

Not slow at all, that's pretty normal.

been using the Reduvia blood blade, how is it late game? I have a Uchigatana as well that I use but recently switched over to red

Solid, but don't add Rennala twice. Flows better when characters aren't doubled up.

is there an infinite amount of smithing stones and somber stones? Can I farm them somewhere

>tfw 100 hour in and i've only been to altus plateau for comet azur to continue sellen's quest because i thought i had skipped something
The pacing and quest progression is all kind of fucked.
Playing co-op with a friend is also taking a fuckhuge ammount of time.

I was gonna cheese the dragon anyways but holy fucking KEK

not the last ones, but otherwise there's bell bearing.

i want a ranni fumo frfr no cap

>Can I farm them somewhere
Other than just buying them? Game seems so unreliable with mat drops that it felt pointless till you get the Bells for em.

yeah, i'm gonna make a cheese prisoner at some point, gonna get meteorite staff, rock sling and moonveil really early.

There are bell bearings going up to +24 and +9. You get more +25 stones in one playthrough iirc.

Your cheese needs work senpai. You are a baby.

Happened to me too, but in the opposite direction. Ran past him up the hill full of poison traps, 30 seconds later ENEMY FELLED
I'm pretty sure what's happening is that getting too far away disables collision detection for the bridge, and then he resets his position and falls to his death.

sounds legit.
The putrid erdtree piece of shit in the grand cloister started taking damage(as if from rot) when i raised the platforms in the lake of rot and then it just died while i was raping the virgin abductor.

I'm definitely planning on a NG+ run, but I'm holding out that the new patches will fill in more storylines or streamline some shit. Got fucked over already and not looking to be blocked out of character stories again.
Gastoc seemed pointless, but my fault for killing a named NPC and thinking it wouldn't bite me.

>I was gonna cheese the dragon anyways

Try reading the entire post next time before replying speedreader.

>Not getting the mace from the weeping peninsula
No need, got an Uchi.
>Not getting the pickled foot on the beach
>Not killing Greyoll
That's literally what I was about to do.

I like me Sword of Milos, lads. Decent weapon for someone with more DEX than STR. Does decent damage, has some bleed, restores FP per kill, and the AOW debuffs all enemies around you as well as give your heavy attacks a new combo. I had low expectations for it but it is actually pretty solid. I have some ARC and FTH too so it gets some decent bleed and I can cast more incants with the FP restored from kills. That FP restoring talisman helps too.

Challenge run videos aren't very fun to watch for this game. Too much freedom I guess. The start is like 3 hours of running around then plowing through the first two thirds of the game. Skipping most enemies.
It's disappointing. Latest one i watched was lobosjr ash only run. No fun with it at all

>he watches other people playing games instead of playing them himself.
Pathetic sort ahead.

I'm not giving the Dancer's Castanets to Tanith until the next update.

>have some arc

That benefits nothing unless your weapon scales off Arcane. And Milos does not.

Funny thing is, there's a special reward for killing Gastoc before Godrick, but his creepy tone after that makes it seem like the perfect place to kill him, especially since he's no longer a merchant.

Proof?
