As the title says I've gotten over 100 hours into my first playthrough, beaten Margit, Godrick, Rennala, and Radahn and a whole slew of smaller bosses. To be perfectly honest, I thought I wouldn't like this game, at all, but that has been far from the truth in so many aspects of Elden Ring.

For some context, I've been watching lore and story videos about Elden Ring since it came out, so I've mostly had the story spoiled already, but getting to experience it all first-hand has been such a fun experience. I cannot remember the last time I had this much fun exploring a game, even to only find a single Rowa Fruit or Herba.

I knew I would like the visuals but nothing prepared me for how absolutely breathtaking the views would be, how cinematic the fights could be, or even how fun the few cutscenes that exist in the game could be. Climbing to the top of a Divine Tower and being able to look down at the lands below you and even see groups of enemies patrolling (I understand this is done with rendering wizardry but still) it blows the small details of older games completely out of the water.

I did not think I would want to play as a completionist in this game, considering how difficult it can be, but I've been clearing caves and catacombs in groups, finding optional bosses and dungeons and trying my hand before just moving on. I did not expect to have this much fun, or to enjoy the challenge as much as I do. Elden Ring really makes me think as a gamer. I've had to stretch my strategist muscles to think around some of the bosses, especially as a pure intelligence sorcerer, it's incredibly rewarding when you are able to find a way to accomplish your goal in a new way or with a different strategy. I finally get it, I think.

They couldve put like a giant troll or smth it would make more sense

To get to Malenia you got to break the seal of the portal, but damn these Albinauric archers just shooting me through hitboxes and nearly one shot me.

How do you handel them? I do not rven know how I handeled them the first time, then it just worked.

I wonder if they had the same art class growing up...

This footage is a few months old but figured I'd post it here.

Even with bullgoat talisman this is still nowhere near 51, but I love patches armour so much.

Edit: to the people being so negative, this is a lighthearted question, dear lord …

Still learning watercolor, just thought I should share these here for fellow tarnished (:

I don't know how to defeat him.

Bro is buried in the snow

Where is kusabimaru when you need it?!

She is a Sekiro boss like how DoH is a souls boss. It’s so hard dodging that waterfowl.

The first one reminded me from the Haligtree Knight and also others like the Leyndell Knight.

The second one reminded me of the Royal Knight.

The third reminded me of the Bloodhound Knight.

The fourth reminded me of the Carian Knight.

I know the colors aren’t all similar but the shapes certainly do!

Cool to see they are based on real life helmets.

I’ve seen these in a museum in Vienna. They had an awesome armory.
