inb4 if you beat the dlc before malenia you get a special cutscene when going against her

@@iota-09 But will you get a special cutscene in the DLC if you've beaten Malenia? 🤔

No you don’t…

or just invest in boluses, you shouldn't even need that many to begin with

@@Ghorda9 but that leaves you high and dry for both rot and frenzy since as of now they’re a finite resource unless you dupe. idk why in the world from forgot to let you buy those and hopefully it’s rectified in the DLC

@@ClydeNut again, you don't need that many at all, you can also farm sacramental buds from around the plague church

how’d u even get that high

Armor has been shit tier since DS2.

@@CaptToilet Which is a good thing because there's nothing worse than being forced to wear an armor that you dont like the look of because it's optimal stat-wise. And yes im aware that you can always choose not to wear said armor anyway, but it's an easier choice when it's not a clearly huge difference

@@OblivionZX Honestly at that point just get rid of stats all together for the armor. No weight requirements or defense values. Just go pure fashion souls. I would be fine with that, just don't put numbers on an armor set and they barely do anything.

​@@CaptToiletI'd argue that only DS1 had useful armor because of how busted poise was. Demon's Souls armor at a point becomes next to worthless for example since poise wasn't even a thing iirc and the damage numbers from enemies spike significantly in the later stages of each Archstone. One thing about DS2, and Elden Ring too actually, is they have a lot of utility armor. Whether they give stat boosts, increase or negate certain damage, passive effects, etc. which existed but to a much lesser degree in the other games.

“Fashion souls”

eldenring.wiki.fextralife.com/Armorer's+Cookbook+(6) Honestly any bow, greatbow, or crossbow works. They all have pretty similar damage and are mostly just tools to apply things like rot arrows, etc.

jar cannon is good if you can afford the stats because all the good ammo for it can be easily purchased from merchants (guy on mt. gelmir sells explosive ones, guy in the mountaintops sells lightning ones) Otherwise get yourself a pulley crossbow

expanded on yes, but they don’t modify the base quest. princess dusk in DS1 for example is present in the Manus arena but she can still be summoned in the darkroot basin (ostensibly because of time travel shenanigans)

I wonder why. What's wrong with the wiki?

@@Wiseguy150outside of live streaming controversy it’s just inconsistent and incorrect more times than most people are okay with.

@@Wiseguy150plus imo the build videos are oddly put together but I’m not gonna tell someone else what’s fun or effective for them.

@@xReifox Your off the shelf adblock should have some sort of "block element" feature.

he's really just a casual that makes content, his builds are almost always bad. also the site took forever to load basic information at launch so its a very slow wiki. understandable cuz its a small team there, but for the source wiki for most games, unacceptable. also they auto play their stream on the site for every page, inflating their view count on twitch.

Terrible ass builds, terrible ass gameplay, terrible twitch embed page

Yeah the bosses just need a tweak to allow for some time to punish.

Skill issue

​@@PointlesslyNecessaryConvos how do they not have time to punish?

The bosses are punishable, you are supposed to sneak hits in between the combos Doesn't mean most of them are fun tho, the game is so skewed towards "just stand back and spam projectiles" that bosses aren't fun to fight melee, or ranged at that

The opposite actually

It’s not a good website for what it’s intended for. It’s riddled with ads and sometimes has extremely incorrect information with no one fixing it.

In the more diehard corner of Souls fans, Fextra is generally considered a very low quality website. You get lots of fan theories getting posted as if they're hard canon. A good example of the general silliness that comes from Fextra is the dubbing of the Springhare in ER as a "Rabbitgaroo", when they were corrected on it the mods would routinely change the name back, despite Springhare's being a real animal. They also bloat their streams by having a built-in player that's very distracting. For an example of what's considered a better wiki, look into the Dark Souls 1 and Demon's Souls wikidot.

Probably the whole view-botting on twitch controversy. Basically, since they embed their stream on their website sidebar, opening fextralife also opens their twitch stream. Due to the amount of people with at least one fextralife tab open at any given time, they get pushed to the top of the list for nearly any game they're streaming, even if very few people are actively watching the stream. They also had a pretty hostile reaction for being called out about that

yeah pretty much their wiki articles are half of the time written in first person with subjective takes which makes no sense on a wiki. they also cheated the entirety of how twitch works by embedding their streams in a tiny box on every fextralife page so they would have tens of thousands of fake viewers. twitch finally fixed embeds and then mysteriously fextralife stopped streaming entirely.

Fextralife is known for basically view-botting on twitch by implementing their stream on the wiki page in a tiny window. This way, since there are always people browsing the wiki, not looking at the stream at all, whenever he's streaming he automatically has the highest viewcount and prevent other creators from ever really getting promoted by twitch.

fextra had a shitton of misinformation when elden ring came out and for a good while after, like that myth that holy heals the elden beast. they also embed their streams into the webpages, tanking performance and boosting their viewcount artificially. twitch stopped views from embeds working, but that doesnt stop the website performance from tanking from the stream and the 3 video ads running at once, and the 2 banner ads restrict viewing space to half your screen. their website also has the slowest search function ive ever seen personally. to top it all off, fextra is trying to kill other wikis by paying google for sponsored search results, meaning they always top the search of any relevant game when you look up for a wiki. paying google to show everyone how much misinformation you tout is quite the play, i must admit.

@@dukeoog5466 well that explains it

huh? It's an across-the-board damage reduction and damage boost. It's not selectively buffing a stat or something. How is that promoting how they WANT you to play??? It's literally like the Sekiro permanent boosts. It helps you keep up but you dont have to even use them

"bwaaaaa bwaaaaa people are not forced to fight this stupid not balanced game bwaaaaaaa"

I'm usually pretty good with not speaking about things I don't know about. I spent countless hours looking at datamined numbers to get the most accurate information possible about whatever I was making a video on. That being said, everything I've discussed here has been the exact same as it was 2 years ago. The main thing I am not clear on is how the new poise/hyperarmour system works in ER and so I will not comment on any of that. "Chasing the Hype" also is kind of insulting. my entire channel's existence is thanks to Dark Souls. I stopped making Elden Ring Content because I used everything in the game, i actually had no idea what else to make a video on anymore.

"Reee youre not a true fan how dare you speaaak"

get a grip

So nobody is allowed to return to a game they've moved on from because it got new content?

Bro he's not your dad he's not supposed to be with you 24/7. I wanna think you're a grown ass man
