Serious, F* this game. (rant)

[kyto1984]

There's difficult, and then there's f***ing insulting. I'm not saying the game it's hard; it's cheap and total BS. I'm not talking about bosses, I'm not talking about magnet AI tracking or your character randomly double-attacking or dodging, I'm not talking about the overworld insta-kill where a dragon dropped on top of me. I'm talking about the stupid chest that transported me to the middle of the Sellia Crystal Tunnel. I'm about level 20 btw.

I spawn with 3 of those centipedes that shoot non-stop homing (ass needles?). Oh yeah, and one is literally on top of me. I die practically immediately. Then respawn in the exact same spot, and the fight starts immediately after. This was a damn near soft-lock where I spent the last 2 hours just being unable to even run away.

So it takes me 2 hours of running, fighting, and just trying to take any single inch I can, and I make it to a boss door. If it takes me 20 hits to take out even the weakest mob in this dungeon, there's 0 chance I'm taking out the boss, plus I'd have to start the whole process over again if I die. I have to turn around, sprint through the centipedes I ditched, get shot in the back with (ass needles?), die if I take a full blast, and try to figure out how to get the hell out of this place.

Eventually I make it outside and finally have a chance to even save and quit, let alone teleport because the stupid trap locked it out.

Seriously, who even QCed this game? What kind of game would trap you in a late-game dungeon so early in, with (near) zero chance of survival, leaving you the options to either start a new character or uninstall the game out of rage. I made it out, but I don't feel accomplished or satisfied. Even Demon Souls wasn't that broken. 10/10 game? What a joke.

You want to see magnet tracking try playing Sekiro. This game has nothing in comparison, trying to dodge ♥♥♥♥ in Sekiro is practically impossible.

That's because you're not suppose to dodge and if you are you are playing the game completely wrong. You're suppose to deflect, which if you get good at the game becomes the easiest FromSoft game of all time.

I honestly think this trap to Sellia Crystal Tunnel is one of the best things in Elden Ring.

It teaches you that you cant just attack everything you see and that you always have to be carefull about traps in any dungeon.

I went there a lot later at about level 50 and +8/+10 weapon(unique +4) and was curious which Boss they would put in there.
Fallingstar Beast is one hell of a boss and it took me 1h to finally defeat it @ level50 with like +4 Bloodhound Fang.
Its one of the best bosses in Elden Ring to be honest.
Tons of different attacks but pretty fair telegraphs.
Still very difficult in melee since its just so damn many moves you have to learn

there is almost no way anyone who has like +1 weapon can defeat it at all.
The boss is absolutely brutal and fighting it reminded me a lot about fighting Gael for some reason.

I can only applaud Froomsoftware for that whole idea.

People in the first 30 minutes of the game can be teleported to a Midgame Area when they are not careful.

The Area itself is very doable and not so hard if you just use a mixture of sneak and run.
Its almost impossible if you do fight stuff (noticed the monsters in that tunnel are super weak to fire so a Starter Faith Build can make it to the boss fighting).

But if for some reason a player didnt learn his lession in the tunnel and still wants to fight the boss -> they make sure you get your lession there.
Unless you can lvl1 no upgrade Gael in DS3 there is no chance you defeat that boss with
starting items and no upgrades.

One would think that after that experience people will finally get that you are not meant to fight in that area when you get there early

Seriously guys, dont try to ♥♥♥♥ this game.

Lol. I mean, i was there round about lvl 20, too. I leave the cave in, dont know, maybe a Minute? How? Run...

Oh man, are you kidding? This was one of the best things in the game. It felt so emblematic of the game in general: you literally get roofied and wake up Godknowswhere and you look around and see Godknowswhat and feel completely disoriented and just have to figure it out. It obviously can't be a softlock, or it wouldn't be there, and since it is there, you can at least puzzle your way to the fact that there IS a way out, so now let's find it!

It was great. A novel modification on the traditional mimic chests. Fromsoft, you've outdone yourselves again!

Legend has it that game company CEO used summons and stood behind in the fights.

The 1st time I was transported I thought it was amazing. 2nd time I thought it was ok, nice giant to fight there I guess

By the 3rd time I rolled my eyes. That ♥♥♥♥ got old quick.

[Snefru]

When it happened to me and those dudes shot me immediately, i thought “ok, I need to run my way out”. Course it took me several tries to find the exit cause I had no clue. It was a good learning experience and set another tone for the game.
One of my best feelings was going back there after leveling up and wiping that ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ place out though. I think those dudes with the homing webs or whatever are the worst designed enemy.

[Clail]

Sellia is really not that bad, even wiht a +1 weapon I was able to clear the majority of it before realizing I really shouldn't be there that early in the game.
Use a unupgraded mace or any other weapon with the "strike" damage type and you will melt the miners within one - three hits. They are just highly resistant to the other attributes associated with weapons. I can't speak to their magic resists if you are a mage.

The centipedes needle attack can be blocked with a shield or dodged, and once you are up close you just need to break their posture, which again with a mace, is achievable with one charged R2 or 1-2 jumping attacks.

[Krushalotapus]

At least you can play. I've had the ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ white screen all day and nothing seems to work.

[IfNedWereHere]

I just walked out.

[[SIN] Kryadan]

well., use the time you have to find the right path, you can roll through the attacks. Sorry the trap got you, but that is the point of them.

[Drumadin]

I mean you could run... or Sneak out... Stealth is a mechanic in the game compared to other souls games.

It's a trap, you got caught and sendt to the slave mines to mine glintstone, your goal is to escape the mines. If you can't fight them then stealth out and come back later when you are more powerfull.
