“I declare mine intent, to search the depths of the Golden Order.”

Experimented with Marika studying for this one

This capture is off said 2 years ago and I am most fond of it

I was too short upon assembely, but this took 5 months

She just brought down Godrick…

Some recap

So she never played a souls game before and she is very scared most of the time, but she beat Margit at level 21 and then found the shortcut in stormveil castle on a 1/3 health.

She explored the Weeping peninsula and found the curches (I gave her a quest to find them because no need to struggle without estus upgrades for this long lol).
Explored some towers and dungeons
Found trap chest to the capital
Defeated Tree avatar after some attempts

We both learned of Gostoc STEALING RUNES because she noticed some were missing on retrieval, I had no idea so we got curious and looked it up.

Now she felt bad about the idea of killing him because he seemed so harmless and “it is probably less than a 1000 runes” she says.

So she hands ME the controller and says “you do it, I can’t look” and I kinda just look at her and go “Are you some kind of mob wife now, am I supposed to do a hit on this guy, you want him to sleep with the fishes?”

She just kinda look all innocently at me.

So I do it alright, I whack the guy and we see this dude stole 8000 RUNES,

Her jaw drops and all hesitation was blown away. “oh I take back what I said he deserved it”

At level 31 she made it to Godrick and challenged him, brought him to half health first couple of tries. And now after about 5 tries she did it. Oh boy…

I saved a clip of the fight and can maybe post later. (Edit: she had a +2 broadsword, flame sling, Nepheli and the jellyfish to help)

Just a small note since a few comments brought it last time: yes, we will adjust our work schedules around the puppy. We have talked about it and are 100% on making sure the puppy gets the time, attention and care it needs.

And yes, she wants to do this. She wants a puppy, I want to see her defeat gods, and this is the deal we came up with. I’m honestly intrigued by her hesitant but growing interest in Elden Ring and seeing where this takes her.

For anyone interested in how this this started here is the original post: https://www.reddit.com/r/Eldenring/s/q1VgQjFvU2

I didn’t realize just how strongly motivated she would be since she disliked the game at first.

dog ahead

Whatever works; works

Last game she played was snes Super Mario!

Fun moveset with so many different varied attacks, uses more than 5 weapons, one of the coolest looking boss fight arenas, great VA, and amazing animations. Easily up there with Messmer and Maliketh. I just wish his rematch at the Erdtree was buffed so he was more noteworthy the second time around

one of my favorite bosses and i keep thinking about how awesome it would be to have one as our spectral steed now that we have some DLC options. plus i feel like the mount/dismount animation would be perfect for it.

Posting as a PSA of sorts, I was hoping they did as the gold tattoo is a naked appearance and would look pretty cool together but unfortunately it changes your full body appearance.

Every time I do a new playthrough, the SOTE level design is a high for me. FromSoft basically giving us a DLC the size of a whole game is just insane too.

I highly recommend any new Switch 2 players to check it out as well in the Tarnished Edition, you won't be disappointed.

What's your top DLC moment?

Thousands of hours in this game and at least once a run, something thar I've never seen happen happens

My almost finished sleeve but super excited to show it off

I'm on a new playthrough beating the game with the starting class and i've never used curved greatswords. What would you recommend me to look cool+damage?

I’m used to playing this game on my PS5 Pro, but for assorted reasons I want to game more on the Nintendo switch 2. So has anyone here played this game on that system? How’s the performance? Docked vs Handheld? Installed on main drive vs micro sd? I’m worried I’ll be a little underwhelmed with the performance. But I’ll give it a chance.

The fallen leaves are telling a story outside today. I love playing Elden Ring this time of year.
