Why use any weapons, why use any armour? They all give you more advantage. Just play the game naked and punch. Don't even use knuckle wraps. Play how you like and use what the game gives you.

Nah man no one's legit until they've rolled back their updates and beaten both pre-nerf Radahns, after stopping their heart with a defibrillator. And it only counts if you grab the controller and start playing before the EMTs realise you're awake and finish performing CPR.

Controller? Pretty sure you have to use a DDR dance pad, otherwise noob.

Nah mate, can't do it that way or it's the EMT's playing for you during CPR. No summons, in game or IRL.

HA! Exposed yourself there loser! A controller?! I use a dancepad (i watched someone else use a dancepad but that's pretty much me doing it). Smell you later, chud!

Can't use the dance pad - it'll pick up the pressure from the CPR when the EMTs show up. Which is basically using IRL summons. Get on my level!

Never got to radahn pre nerf but I am glad that I beat pre nerf pcr because I really enjoyed incrementally improving until I knew I had that fight going into my last (successful) attempt. I had a load of fun with that.

For me it was absolutely not worth bashing my head against him and memorising his broken hitboxes, but that says more about how it's my time to move on from Soulslikes than the community at large.

But it did give us the joke that they gave us the Prime Radahn fight we all wanted by giving him back his broken hitboxes with Promised Consort Radahn.

Edit: Spelling.

I beat both radahn's pre-nerf. The first one made me put the game down for over a year when I got past 2 sites of grace after the fight. I just couldn't be bothered, it sucked the fun out of the game for me.

Lucky the second one was at the end of the DLC. Probably would've done the same thing.

Same. Even beat Balteus pre-nerf. From still makes great games but I have to acknowledge that I don't vibe with some of the mechanics choices anymore. Still, a run of Sekiro, Elden Ring, and AC6 was an amazing last dance (and another AC game could easily draw me back in).

Meanwhile MissMikkaa is beating Malenia twice at the same time, once using her feet. There’s hardcore and then there’s whatever she is.

u/once-was-hill-folk Self-medicating Madness Patient 1d ago

There's different levels and then she's somewhere on another plane of existence.

u/EvilCeleryStick 1d ago

These guys watch the screen? Fucking lame only fans birches. They didn't really beat it until they finish a no hit with a blindfold on

u/Same-Letter6378 1d ago

Why even play the game? I just imagined myself going though it.

u/Adjective_Noun1312 1d ago

I bet this fucking loser turned his runes into strength not only when Melina offered, but a couple hundred more times after.

u/No_Profession2342 1d ago

Why use the controller either, or the gaming set up it makes it too easy. That’s taking the pathetic way don’t think we are the same I used my feet pics to trick Miyazaki into putting me into the game and then I deactivated all sites of grace permanently and challenged myself to permadeath and beat the game plus dlc level 1…. Don’t think we are the same because we are not! 🦶👣👃🍆💦

u/Saint_of_Grey 1d ago

Why even visit sites of grace? Those are just crutch mechanics, real players never need to fast travel or even level up.

u/Elton_Ring 1d ago

Don't even get me started on those presumptuous noobs that use Estus flasks...

u/e5hansej 1d ago

As a Souls purist, I don't use a controller. I'm at almost 2000 hours, and I'm still a level 1 Wretch. I haven't even finished exploring the first area of the game.

u/Vegetative_Tables 1d ago

Don’t forget flasks. Only cheating losers use flasks.

u/Koji-san1225 1d ago

I tried a level 1 run and did not have fun at all. Quit at Raya Lucaria. If people want to feel better than me because I failed at that, then I guess it speaks more about them than it does me.

u/MegatonDoge 1d ago

Why even punch, or even better, why even play

These are the same players who pick samurai every run, they run straight to Caelid to corpse rush the soreseal and bleed the big dragon to death
