80 vigor, full bull goat armor, getting ONE SHOT by mobs

[P1]

This is ridiculous. I have full bull goat armor, dragoncrest shield talisman+2 and 80 vigor. Normal mobs one shot me. a random shadow dude throws a limp half hearted slap and my character instantly dies. It's like Miyazaki said "you know how we can make this more difficult? Everything just instantly kills you. Anyone complains? Hehe, git gud kid, nothing personnel!"

So rune level just means nothing. This isnt zelda breath of the wild, yet now we have to level up by searching the map for shrines - sorry I mean "scadutree" blessing. I was a huge fromsoft fan, i never thought I'd see the day miyazaki just ripped off zelda.

its really simple, the scadutree blessing isn't as optional as people thought... I am 90% sure that it was implemented so that players didn't have to create a new character to be able to play the dlc as intended and not using the blessing is essentially like trying to play the base game without levelling.
They had to implement a feature like this to accommodate for the most players as level in the dlc has less impact... and on another note, why aren't you using the blessing? if you are running 80 vigor and bull armour then you're either getting close to max level and are running out of things to level, or you need all the help you can get...

Bait post or you've stacked all of the defense reduction amulets. When I got into the DLC with 60 vigor in banished knight armor at most I got two-three shot by big elites (Giants, Black Knights with hammers). After I explored stuff DLC became piss easy as I can now tank like 8 hits with the same armor.

Edit: But fr tho, end the post with /jk or smth.

You need to explore map to get those blessings. Don't get me wrong the game is hard even with those blessings but it's at least doable then.

I recommend not sitting on boss you can't beat just mark it on your map and leave it for later, if you struggle and keep exploring the map, eventually you will level the blessings to the point, where the boss will be much easier and you can beat him without crazy struggle. I just reached hippo boss and beat him fairly easily due to that. where i've no doubt he would 1-shot me without those blessings.

I have 40 Vigor and low 40-50 res light armor. Not a single mob or boss is one-shotting my lvl 195 char, except some attacks meant to be dodged.

Op you didn’t state your blessing level and where you are at in the game.
Yes I agree trash mobs shouldn’t hit as hard as they do…

Like at Blessing level 9 with The Blackgaol knight set a Kindred hit me with pest threads in did 80% of my health at 60 vigor…. Ouch.

Gunna be honest, I am at blessing level 18 and after killing the final boss of the DLC I went back to the first zone to check the damage... nothing changed. Things still hit hard. Not as hard as OP is claiming but yea there is not a noticeable difference.

No mention of full list of charms or NG+ level is pretty sus tbh. I am fairly certain I could make a character with 99 Vigor and full Bull-Goat that still gets one shot simply based off of charms that make you take increased damage.

that's what you get for not playing fashion souls.

You need to upograde your Blessing in the Shadow Realm Blessing or else everything will 1 shot you.

I get one shot too and I'm on NG+6 or +7 scale, so it's kinda hell, but finally its worth it. Easy boss fight is boring.

go to farm that scadutree things

Easy boss fights are boring, but Getting oneshot isnt fun either. There needs to be a balance.

Dude somehow decided to play a game based hugely on exploration, without doing exploration.

I'm not sure why people are still expecting to play Elden Ring as if it was Dark Souls when it's been made clear that it isn't, and the DLC is the epithome of that design.

Then collect the upgrades and make a decent built and even in ng+7 you wont be one shot.
