just don't get hit

[エロ音声作品学者]

if you're getting two-shotted or whatever you're dodging wrong

just don't get hit 4head

there is an invincibility button, when you dodge you are invincible. press it when the enemy attacks you. easy game. just don't get hit.

so many whiners. this is what you signed up for. welcome to miyazaki's whole thing.

Elden Ring has been trending pretty much since it got released and there are a lot of newcomers to this genre and they don't realize what they signed up for.

If someone wants to reply to this by something like "I have played every single FromSoft game and almost every single souls-like game, but this DLC sucks", I don't care lol.

The beginning is a bit difficult, but when you explore enough and collect some blessings, the game becomes very easy, not exploring enough is one of the main reasons some people might die very quickly even to a casual enemy.

that's the thing...

all the tourists are having fun. it's the people who have an achievement showcase with DS123+sekiro all 100%ed who are complaining the DLC is too hard. it's so weird to me.

the more someone has played fromsoft, the more achievements and hours and NG+ cycles they've scored in their dark souls career, the more they whine that the DLC is too hard

it's pathetic lmao

I'm actually curious as to what people did to make the base game easier because I was getting 2 shot anyway. The dlc doesn't sound like it would be any different for me.

if you're getting 2 shot in the base game the answer is generally: level vigor, level endurance so you can wear heavier armor. it's possible to get a pretty huge survivability buffer by just doing that. a lot of the people complaining are running huge heavy tank builds maxed out on heavy armor, 80 vigor, greatshields etc. - so they are mad that in the DLC that no longer guarantees survival, which they are used to having.

The only thing I found diffcult so far was that swordslady on crack that drops three moons at you in a row. I was excited. I am only at the goofy hippo so far so maybe I haven't run into the gamebreakingly difficult parts yet.

I see. So now that they're out of their comfort zone built on superfluous armor they're raging. It's kinda sad to be honest.

Ahh, okay, I get that. You just need to laugh about every time you die, that helps a lot.

yes, this. fromsoft games are comedy games. if one can laugh at their deaths, laugh at the ganks and ambushes, laugh at the silly ridiculous giga-moves and so on, they will have more fun. the brain man popped out of the jar and ran at me! lmao! ridiculous. comedy game.

sadly, so many long-time fromsoft fans have turned hollow and forgotten about laughter - they forgot: dark souls is a comedy game. so many funny moments to enjoy. the dlc here is no different.

I hate that hippo so much...

Also, she only drops 2 moons, the 3rd moon is her lol.

Lots of people missed the point that you need to collect the blessings to progress in the DLC, it's like starting from the beginning, regardless of your progress in the main game. Could've been conveyed better in the game, but Elden Ring isn't particularly known for being very straightforward with anything.

in some fairness, even with all the fragments, the DLC is still very spicy - and some of the people complaining do have many fragments.

that said, they seem to want the DLC to be a power fantasy first, from the start. no fromsoft game is. it must be earned. in the DLC, we are back as level one wretches, re-learning how to not die. they forgot that this is what made the games so magical for them originally in the first place.

Oh lol, sorry :) Guess I mistook her behind for a moon, she was 'mooning' me.
