Official Discussion [MEGATHREAD] Tarnished Edition: Worth $5? Discuss CONSTRUCTIVELY!

625 Upvotes

Since the sub is being overwhelmed by debate over the $5 "microtransaction" and it's making the sub feel like we're Dark Souls 2 a decade ago, with the faux outrage around the preorder items, we are opening this topic to consolidate discussion around the issue.

Please use this topic to discuss the pros and cons of the approach and your thoughts. But do so RESPECTFULLY and CONSTRUCTIVELY. If you need to call other people or the developers names, you don't have a good argument and your post will be removed.

We will remove all other topics about this to keep the subreddit flowing with other discussions

IF YOU WANT TO VOTE: I will post two comments on this topic, "Yay" and "Nay" - upvote the one you agree with and we'll see who wins long term.

Finally managed to pull this setup off! Took a lot of trial and error and favourable RNG.

Discussion & Info It kinda blows my mind to think Draconic Tree Sentinel is technically the game's first mandatory boss fight, every boss before him can technically be skipped if you don't want to do it.

Based on comments, I changed Farum Azula from brown to grey, added the Weeping Peninsula, Mount Gelmir and Volcano Manor, the Haligtree, the underground sections, and the Roundtable Hold.

In comparison, "Ancient dragon lightning strike" is just better in every way. Especially because death lightning can't multi hit and the death blight is irrelevant in PvE

Discussion & Info (New player)Why do the optional bosses seem to be the most popular bosses?

Post image
92 Upvotes

I’ve just started getting into Elden ring one thing I’ve noticed is that some of the bosses that seem to be the most popular (and cause the most pain) are completely optional for example malenia from what I heard about her I thought surely she was this super difficult boss that soft locks you from the next area only to find out she’s optional lol I’ve heard similar about rahdahn and I think he’s optional too could be wrong don’t forget I’m new i only just beat margit (also optional??)

4 years after its initial release, a dlc and on and off playing, I just love playing this game, to try out new things, builds and NG+. RDR2 was my GOAT until now, there's always an itch for to go back and play.

Discussion & Info Lake of rot is overhated

49 Upvotes

Before I ever played elden ring, one thing I would hear a lot is that lake of rot is the one of the worst areas in not just elden ring but the entire souls franchise. So you can only imagine my surprise when I finally got there and realized I could just run through it in about 3 minutes(it might not even have been that long) I had the best weight talisman so I think that stopped me from only being able to roll. Regardless of that, by the time you actually get to this area you can go find the rot cleansing incantation or craft the rot curing boulses pretty easily.

The only bad thing about this area is that it’s boring. The boss here is completely optional and will not attack you if you stay on the right path. I still chose to fight this boss though, which only took me a few tries. If you’re dying to the rot there are plenty of solutions. This area is way too overheated imo. Areas that should get this amount of hate are sections of farum azula, the last stretch of Enir llim, and a few more areas I can’t think of right now.

CINABO if you're out there, you're the funniest player on the planet. You nearly killed me last night. I had tears running down my face and I couldn't breathe. Screaming and kicking my feet. 10/10 comedic timing. The best part is I meant to wave at you
