Got my hands on a PS5 at last. Will finally be firing up Elden Ring this evening having watched Yev and Baz at the beginning of their journeys however many weeks ago. Going to be epic.

10 hours in and I'm still dicking around in Limgrave. Speedrunner completes the game in < 30 mins
20 hours in and I've spent 19 of them picking flowers and mushrooms!!Originally Posted by Raoul Duke
3 hours in and I have finally found some clothes to wear. Wretch for life.
I remember the Wretch start, it was a thoroughly enjoyable nightmare. I might be mis-remembering but it felt like I was useless for the first 10 hours.
I am at the final boss. I did it once and going to take a break. As I quit the game I was at exactly 60 hours and 30 seconds.
This game is something special just riding round on horseback exploring riding through the woods in fog and the sunshine breaks through the trees is a sight to behold.
I'm having more fun finding the grace points and exploring the map than killing things.
So far I've found a portal behind one of the churches that teleports you off to the top right of the map (not before a fucking lobster killed me)
Killed Margot.
Killed a spinning see through not a real boss in a goldmine somewhere.
Killed another not a real boss in a different gold mine.
Died to a lobster
Died to virtually everything I've stumbled across that has a hp bar
Reached lvl 40
Pissed off one of the npc in the Hold where all the Tarnished hangout last time I teleported there it attacked me and I died.
Be nice to get some decent looking armour to go with my shiny shield and my pointy stick.
Going back over Limgrave in Journey 2 and it's crazy how much stuff I missed. Two dungeons, a bandit camp and a boss so far that are all new this time round. And Limgrave was comfortably the area I spent the most time in on the first playthrough.
Absolute masterpiece so it is.
I've tried avoiding any videos or guides about this game and want to see if I can become Elden Lord without using any outside help.
Although if its not possible to just out level everything and beat the upcoming bosses that way I might just cave in and get me one of the boss melted in 3 seconds weapons...
I wish I could get into this more but it’s just not clicking for me. May have to try it in multiplayer to see if it’s any more fun.
Yep, I think I've fully given up on it now.
Just not my game sadly which is a shame as almost everyone is raving about it.
Took me probably 10 hours to start really enjoying the game. ~27 hours in now and loving it. Fairly OP for the area but have beaten Margit and now working my way through completing Limgrave, Weeping Peninsula etc.
Can easily see me racking up 100 hours.
Patch out, the God weapons have been nerfed.
Just got my hands on that ashen war stomp weapon....think I'll wait to update the game for a while.
I don't play online so don't really effect me not keeping the game upto date.
I think some weapons are still insanely powerful though although that last speed run record won't be beaten now
Mine updated overnight and just had a go with the Sword of Night and Flame against the Crucible Night in the Evergaol. Journey 2 admittedly, but it was pointless using the special attack on it ahead of just hitting it instead.
My ps5 has been "off" so I'm hoping it hasn't managed to update at least.
I've got the ice pick axe that has the ashes of war freeze and its made the 1st main boss easy mode.
I love these games but some of the bosses in them and I include Bloodborne I only managed to beat because my stats became so high from grinding over amd over again.
Yeah, I'm now wondering how I'll beat some of the later bosses again when the difficulty seriously ramps up.
I did it all with no spells or god weapons 100 levels below you Yev. You’ll be fine.
Just got in from work switched the ps5 on it was 10 percent to go managed to pause it and delete the update 😎
I'll complete the game first then replay it with the latest update.
Moonveil and Bloody Slash haven't been nerfed. The former is still incredible.
Nerfs are good, too much stuff was ridiculously easy and I say that as a Hoarfrost user.
Completely agree it's a good move.
Give Moonveil a crack though. L2 + R2 is
Back to Mogwyn Palace on Journey 2 and it's double runes per kill. Getting 100k in about 30 seconds.
Up to level 215 from 211 in minutes.
Royal Knight Loretta is ripping me a new one over and over again
Not even lasting more than 10 seconds before its over.
I'm lvl 47 with 25 in Vigor 25 in Endurance and 27 in str 20 faith.
Should have pumped up Vigor alot more I think.
I'm still running with 10 in Vigor and Endurance. Oops.
I’m never beating this final boss. I got one good run down to 25%.
Took me over 70 attempts to beat one of the endgame bosses on MHW: Iceborne.
I will get this at some point.
Out of stock in Gamestop. Boo.
I am the Elden Lord. Suck my dick y'all.
Good effort Phonics. Gonna hit Journey 2?
Gonna do that other boss and help my boys for a few and then probably will.
First timed Radahn again in Journey 2.
Genuinely think I've stumbled upon the best strategy to beat him. Get your hardest hitting weapon, summon all the companions and get in there and smack the fuck out of him.
A few hours later I feel okay admitting it, 90 seconds into the final boss fight he just stood still and never attacked ever again. Me and a friend spent the next 3 minutes just laughing and doing charge attacks.
Going to respec into a moonveil and spell build for my next journey.
Went and farmed levels by killing some massive dragon to get my character a bit more resilient. Up to level 38 now and just croaked the Tree Sentinel for the first time. Also just got to Roundtable Hold
I tried that but smaller dragons kept creeping up on me while I was twatting the massive one.
I'm a twit
I can't work out how to do New Game +
Go to the site of Grace in roundtable hold and activate it there.
I used this guide - seems like you've got to stick to it fairly closely to avoid being destroyed by them. There was a message pointing out where to stand as well, so I just used my katana to croak it.
I read that. Where is it lol
Ah, I see. It's in the main (round) room of roundtable hold, above the table in the middle of the room with the chairs round it. Just walk next to the table and activate it with triangle/Y.
I just got over 1m runes for killing a late game boss in Journey 2.
I've hit my first major block in Godrick. Even with my level 3 wolves, I can't even get close to getting him down to zero. I've held off on powering up my weapons, so that might be my next play.
It'll be the weapons. People seem to get fixated on the level in this (pot, kettle, I know), but the upgrading of weapons has the bigger impact and by a country mile.
I'm just worried that I'll blow my smithing stones on a shit weapon and then not have enough when I find an awesome weapon.
That stuff is usually plentiful. Or at least farmable.
@Baz or anyone else who's still early-ish in the game: this video has some awesome tips to get yourself and your equipment nicely levelled up. I've just gone up to the end of Chapter 5 with it and now have some excellent gear to set me up.
I've spent nearly 40 hours in the "starting area" alone uncovered nearly every site of grace slightly ventured off to random areas of the map and just when I think this world is huge..
I uncover a lift that takes me miles underground to an area that looks like its in space and it seems the map has another layer that's just as big as the original one !!!
Amazing, amazing game...
Me and Blaidd just absolutely wrecked the guy who'd been giving me trouble at the Forlorn Hound Evergaol. I don't think he even got a hit on me
I've not done any of the Evergaols yet. I saw someone try one on stream and it was an absolute massacre, so I've been putting them off.
This Crucible Knight one gets a lot of fear...then there's this guy who beat it at level 10
