tbh just come back later unless you're trying to progress a particular questline. He's overtuned right now imo.

Omni how do you check if armors have fancy effects like stat buffs or whatnot?
I just kinda ended up there but I think I'm at that point where I'll just continue the main story in the north instead. Need to explore that area anyway. At least ya'll making me feel better about my struggle lol not a big Souls guy but hadn't been frustrated until this guy.
Get behind him when he does the draw-in slam and you will have a huge window to do damage. Ideally you are also comfortable with staying close to him because that's the safest distance to most of his phase 2 attacks as well. He should provide 3 big windows for doing a lot of damage from start of phase 2 so if you can try to maximize damage during those windows then you don't have to deal with the harder to dodge stuff.
I met an owl, you guys.
Hopefully an easier encounter for you than Radahn was.
:3
I'm obviously kidding
I would never hurt an innocent bird. All birds are friends.
except those fuckers in Caelid, fuck them
previous games had some special armors right? I didnt find a button that showed it for this one so I assumed it wasnt a thing in this game but this quote says otherwise
They really hid one of the most breathtaking locales in the game... Wow, this place is incredible
There's an option to change the right info panel to show your stats, you can sift through your gear pieces to see which ones affect your stats. There are also hidden stats that can only be found out through the description (such as jump attack boosts).
Okay that Death Rite Bird boss has me being entirely fine with going the Mimic/Bloody Slash route.
Those flying/semi flying enemies are generally a huge pita already, but with someone like that with insane mobility, damage, and animation speed and that can't be bled or frostbitten either... no thank you. It's not that the attacks don't have tells but I'd be looking at several dozen runs without summons so... nah. Can't be bothered. Not for this janky-ass side boss.

There was stuff here and there like Helm of Avarice which boosted your soul and item gathering and grass crest shield which boosted stamina recovery but like Alan said that stuff was in the item description IIRC.
The best part about Elden Ring is that this can mean quite a lot of different areas.
I've been running around just exploring the world for like 15 hours, at level 35 or so with a +4 longsword. I don't wanna feel op so I figure it's time to tackle the first legacy dungeon. Get to the fog door of what's essentially the first suggested mandatory boss, thinking it'll be no sweat.
He wiped the floor with me. Like 20 times. It was amazing.

In the equipment menu, I think the button is R3 on PS but it should say at the bottom of the screen.
Man I'm getting frustrated with the constant disconnects while trying to help people with bosses to build up a supply of Rune Arcs.
Playing on PC and these last couple days have been real bad in terms of the likelihood that I can actually stay connected while summoned in to help someone. Most times as soon as I join I get "A connection error occured. Returning to your world".
It wasn't so bad and was actually pretty reliable before the last couple of days. Anyone know of a fix or what could be causing the problem?

They activate the bonus effect of whatever Great Rune you have equipped. If you have no Great Rune equipped, then it just provides a slight HP buff.
Certain bosses in Elden Ring will drop Great Runes when you kill them. You can equip them at bonfires, but they aren't actually usable until you restore the rune at a Divine Tower. Each region has its own Divine Tower, and typically you can't enter them until after killing the boss that dropped its respective Great Rune.
Active Great Runes offer a variety of powerful bonus effects.
they activate you equipped Great Rune, and last until you die.
thank you
asked this a couple of days ago, fellow Era Ringers had gotten 1 and 2 respectively, both had either finished or were at the endgame. So yeah, they be rare.
Anyone know if you can skip character quests by accident? Because I'm running around going place to place and I reached the end area because in my travels I ended up there. So I go back to the round table area and the guy who was, "Can you find my friend, she ran off when I wasn't looking" is gone and I can't seem to find him anymore.
I think it's still very limited, I've only found like 1 of each so far, I think someone said they had found like 2.
S. Shunning ground... glad an NPC gave me a hint of its existance. There's really good ambient music here, that's surprisingly calming considering the theme of the area lol
Its waaaaaaaaay more forgiving than previous games, you can still find that NPC and do their quest, he's in Liurnia, or at least he should be, if not then he probably progressed to Volcano Manor. But this game allows you to miss quest steps, even multiple and still continue the questline. There are very few hard lock outs.
I don't know what you expected lol, but there is a good number of interesting puzzles and questlines about the place.
Thanks. So the traditional souls experience is not using wolves on bosses?
20+ hours, and I'm still in Limgrave with seemingly no end in sight as I look at the map and see various points of interest. Not to mention the "other part" here. Insane!
The Souls games are dungeon crawlers at their core. I feel they perfected the meld of dungeon crawler, and open world. I get why people more into traditional open world RPGs would be put off though.
In a lot of ways, including a line said by someone in that area you're heading too right now, Elden Ring sort of feels like From taking everything they learned on Dark Souls and redoing it from scratch. I know that they said that they made Elden Ring because they wanted to do stuff that they couldn't do in Dark Souls but there are some things that are pretty on the nose, that being one of them, and I think once you finish that area you'll see, or rather hear more of what I mean.
If you mean Rykard just use the thing in the room, that's what its there for.
I know right, it's a stupid wish lol. It's just feels like a waste to me that all this beautiful (and scary) world and all you do is basically kill everything that moves (and everything that moves will kill you). The game never pretended to be anything else but that though, and I never realized how much I want cozy downtime maybe in a small settlement of weird people until I got to explore Liurnia's locales.
It really is, for what it's worth it did what it intended to do very well.
The one in the first region, no. Once you beat the boss of Stormveil Castle, you can take the exit that goes NE from the southern part of the castle. There's a teleporter that will take you straight across the broken bridge, and the door will open if you have the Great Rune from beating the boss.
Later Divine Towers can be a little more involved to reach.
I think ER is a lot better than previous titles in this regard given that it has a lot of non hostile wildlife running around and the open world allows a lot more space between groups of enemies, plus Torrent allowing you to do a lot of running around and exploration, weaving in and out of battle as quickly as you want and there are more NPCs and quests in this game than there were in previous games. But even those can be quite dour.
Aside from getting the rune and activating it at its corresponding tower, no.
Every time I try to start Elden Ring on Steam it's asking me to restart Steam. Rebooted my PC and it's still doing it. Not a good first impression :/
Are there any hard lock outs of hidden areas? I really don't want to miss any of the hidden areas but also don't want to look up anything. So I'm thinking of checking online to see which areas I might have missed only when I reach the final Boss (i also hope it's going to be obvious when I finally reach it heh)
Try the menu option "check for Steam Client updates''. It did for me after my game crashed and was asking me for restart Steam for it to launch
there's hard lockouts of quests and bosses, as I found out earlier (lol) but not areas as far as I can tell. Omnipotent would know better.
I am thankful each time I come across a puzzle, and I do wish there were more.
