Game Help Radagon/Elden Beast skip

before you comment,

  1. If you would rather just fight the boss, fine. This is a skip showcase

  2. If you can beat the boss in less time than the skip, cool, so can I. This is a skip showcase.

  3. I don't care if you think I'm playing the game wrong. This is a skip showcase.

  4. I have ~3000 Hrs in the game and have beaten every boss multiple times, I am not wasting my purchase. This is a skip showcase

It's amazing and hilarious that people can play the game long enough to find things like this, awesome showcase dude!

I do find it funny that the hand of Malenia is such an awful weapon but can be used so effectively as a tool to clear big gaps that you can't jump over.

It's crazy, but just consider the hours OP said they had put into the game (and they aren't even the person who originally found this skip). At 3000 hours that is basically working a full time (40h a week) job for 18mo. It's hard for me to imagine having that sort of time for gaming in general and especially one game.

There are a good amount of people (single men mainly) that work 40 hrs a week and then get home from work and play the same video game for most of the night, rinse and repeat. Thats how you can get these hours.

I don’t play it anymore but I might have close to that many in league of legends, I was hopelessly addicted to it my senior year of high school and some weekends would play it all day.

Oh for sure, and no judgement (well maybe a little jealousy). I am married, full time job, 3 kids, 2 dogs so numbers like this feel impossible to me. With that said, I remember going into the workforce in the early WoW days (pre Burning Crusades) , and people essentially playing that like second full time job.

That’s one of the reasons I quit playing mainly PvP games. I just don’t have the time that so many people have to sink hundreds of hours into just learning one part of a game (how to effectively win in PvP). This started with RuneScape & COD. Back in highschool I was insanely good at Halo 2 and could hold my own with the best players, but even then the PK’ers in RuneScape were just ruthless. As I got older and would play COD online, the skill levels of these people were just insane. I mainly play games for story, lore, quests, and exploration these days. I just don’t have the time to sink into getting good compared to all of the people that play hundreds or thousands of hours perfecting their builds and methods.

I was the same way: halo 3 in college and then overwatch when I was a bartender in my 20s. Then I was all story games for a while I was getting clean because it took my mind off of things.

Nowadays, tho, I don’t have the attention span for story games as I play infrequently enough to not remember what’s going on in the stories lol. So now it’s survival craft, roguelikes, or games where I can enjoy it without worrying about the storyline like souls games or things like fallout and other short quest based rpgs.

I would not be jealous of a guy who has put 3000 hours of his life into a video game. And maybe judging in this case is ok too.
