Elden Ring (Part 1)

yeah I have that one and rock sling, I want others

another moment the game punishes me for having played dark souls:

jumping through a window in the middle of an elevator shaft only to fall to my death

the ā€œfestivalā€ from the trailers is cooler than I could’ve imagined

big pot man wanting to travel through maybe the most hostile tunnel I have discovered, which is way too small for him regardless, all because he is so excited for this ā€˜festival’ really got ME excited too. So curious.

Do you have to use a Rune Arc to benefit from the bonuses granted by Great Runes, and do you need to do that each time you die or is it only when you equip a new Great Rune?

I thought the way it works is that you get a permanent minor bonus from each great rune, and the Rune Arc is a consumable which temporarily superpowers your rune like Popeye eating spinach. You lose the bonus when you die, so it’s a bit like this game’s version of Humanity

I haven’t actually tried using a Rune Arc yet because they sound ā€œtoo good to useā€

I haven’t met this pot guy and I don’t know what triggers the festival or where to attend it

I beat the crucible knight + warrior boss in redmane castle and met Jerren! I don’t know what else to do there, it was a dead end so I peaced out

He said the festival starts ā€œwhen the stars alignā€

i can’t get behind ā€œSekiro doesn’t have interesting explorationā€ lol. i find it impossible to even find a boring camera angle in that game

I’ve been doing Caelid and Liurnia piecemeal, traveling between the two to mix things up, so I’ll continue westward

very interested in seeing what all these astrolabes are about tho.

also I am currently in the study hall. there was a pressure plate on the table that just said ā€œsomething fits hereā€ and I was like ā€œokā€

Contrary to this image, I am not tired of this at all, but you can’t leave me alone with a robust character creator and expect me not to do stupid shit.

I entered Redmane Castle early on and was under the impression that killing Godrick triggered the festival for me.

should also note that this gimmick is so thrilling that I have to close chrome in order for my computer to not collapse under its weight

it did not give me a noticeable stat change at all when i equipped the great rune, but the rune arc definitely gives you the bonus (my stats increased significantly). i’m not convinced they do anything without the rune arc.

trying to tell anyone not currently playing this game anything about this game makes me sound like an excited four year old

spoilers for everything I’ve seen in the first 12 hours btw

So first I fell down a hole, then I met a guy in a mask who told me to find a girl, then I met two giants who were dragging a huuuuge black wagon down the road and I stole the treasure, then I met a girl and she gave me a horse and then i met another girl and she hugged me.

After that some wolves fell from the sky and I had to kill all of them, then I went to a church and met a witch who gave me a bell that lets me summon wolves!!! And Jellyfish!!! Then I met a monster with a lion head and he tried to kill me, but instead the ghost wolves killed him for me and i took his sword made from other swords.

Then I found an elevator in the middle of a field that went down and down and down and down and then I was an in an underground river that had an upside-down castle in it and I killed a giant crab, but then a guy with some moose horns on a stick smashed me into the ground and i died.

spent 10 minutes successfully scaling a cliff with my horse just to take in the view and see there was a wind current thing around the corner
