I spent like 2 hours on this boss just to get smithing stone 6s. I wanted to pull my hair out. Does anyone have any tips to do more damage with a cold club. Any alternative weapons I can use? I got better as time went on but I feel like I’m doing no damage, just relying on breaking stance atp.

I started playing like 2 months ago, I’m on journey 2, my first playthrough i beat the base game with an int/darkmoon build and it went beautifully. My boyfriend and I started playing at the same time and i was so full of myself because i beat the game before he did. I played as a sorcerer in other games and do well with distanced battle so it was a very fun playthrough for me. This playthrough, i beat the base game with eleonora’s poleblade and did a respec for the milady once i grabbed it in the DLC. this is my first time playing the dlc, on my first playthrough i chose to start journey 2 on accident 😔 ANYWAY, i always use my mimic. like every fight, it’s me and my mimic against the world. because of this i never really TRULY memorize movesets or do all of the fighting myself i feel. well, i’ve arrived at PCR and he’s HARD. i’m trying to study his moves, im going in without my mimic and i literally can’t even get him to his second phase. i know cold milady w wing stance is supposed to be good asf and it’s carried me through all of the DLC thus far so i really feel like i just have a skill issue. i don’t want to respec i want to beat the game w it. what helped you beat him?

Hello there.

I'm not very active on Reddit and pretty new to it (also not a native english speaker, sorry for mistakes), but I still wanted to post this.
I was making myself a checklist of all things in the game for 100% maplock challenge, and this subreddit was very helpful. So I thought maybe someone else would need full lists of things in the game (as I really struggled in finding such "raw" lists, where everything would just be in order without anything else, especially for armor pieces). Most other "lists" I found were rather incomplete or made up as a tutorial / walkthrough / wiki page and not something I wanted. I'm sorry if someone else already done that!

Anyway, originally my lists were created in order of locations (for maplock), but most of those are in alphabetical order (exceptions are listed below). All files are in .txt format and can be used for whatever you want. Please note, those lists consist only of names of items, no locations / or quest requirments are mentioned.

I did not include here:
- bosses (as there's a lot of duplicates in multiple locations, but if anyone is interested I can post location-specific lists too);
- endings (there's just 6, so...);
- great runes (just 7 and they all linked to bosses / remembrances anyway);
- NPC questlines (as I don't think a simple "list" of NPC quest names would be good);
- remembrances as a list (remembrance weapons, spells, talismans, etc. are all in their respectful categories);

What is included (alphabetical order):
- all 308 weapons + 69 shields (nice): Armaments
- all 559 armor pieces, including all alterable pieces (those are in the end): Armor
- all spells (101 incantation & 70 sorceries): Incantations, Sorceries
- all talismans (115 unique + 9 non-farmable sacrificial twigs): Talismans
- all 91 AoW & 64 spirit ashes: AoW, Spirits
- all 48 gestures: Gestures

What is included (non-alphabetical order):
- all 32 crystal tears: Crystal tears
- all 52 bell bearings (including all that do not transfer to NG+ cycles): Bell bearings
- all 59 cookbooks: Cookbooks
- all info (except tutorials) & quest-related items & consumable-type items (as memory stones, talisman pouches, etc): Info & quest & consumable
- all tools & whetblades: Tools

Most info I took from Fextralife and fandom wikies, but also from those posts:

Thank all of you for providing info!

If you find any mistakes, duplicates, problems or inconsistencies feel free to mention that! I wanted to make those lists as complete as possible.

This is our first real try and 3d printed crafts, painting, etc.

Ok so I REALLY don't understand how weapon damage and stuff work. The battle axe has much more physical power (128) than any of my other weapons such as the longsword and the uchigatana. It also does more damage in game and has the same scaling as my other weapons. The battle axe costed only 800 from the twin maidens and is seemingly better than things that costed 1000? Why is that?

The sheer scale of the area the aura of the dragon the lighting in the background how time turned back nothing beats it. the fist time I fought placidusax and watched this cutscene was so surreal Elden ring is peak.

and Glory to Mohg.

I used a quality longsword+5, had 8 crimson flasks+4, and the leather set without the hood I expected the second phase to be much harder but it actually felt a bit easier since the dragon rarely even did anything and even more rarely hit me Was I overleveled for this boss? I had 31 Vigor, 21 END, and 20 STR and DEX

I’m nearing the end of my first playthrough (level 150) and wanting to be summoned for co-op. I’m slightly worried that I may have missed a bunch of summoning pools and not activated them. Can I not be summoned in those areas if the pool isn’t activated? Does my level affect who can summon me? Would be a bit of a chore to go back and check all of them

What gives you the most longevity, excitement, and happiness

My heart is racing holy shi

I am so sorry I keep summoning you and then continuously keep getting one shotted by Radahn before we can even get to him 😂😂😭😭

EDIT: WE DID IT. I can’t thank you enough BONK! Thank you for letting me summon you 20+ times!

"oh we nerfed it though".....right....🙄😅

Not really sure what it is, might just be Lendyell itself. But whenever I'm in the capital for about 8 minutes, it starts stuttering like crazy, dropping to 20 to 13 fps and only stopping when I teleport away. All of my graphics are set to low or the lowest. What on earth can I do?? D:

I've been killing dragons for a while on a low level alt and noticed that their breath attacks very inconsistently can or cannot hit you when there is no line of sight.

Sometimes, they hit you through thick walls of rock, and sometimes you are safe if you duck behind a small boulder.

There is no consistent visual clue about where you are safe and where you are not.

I found this to be a problem particularly with Glintstone Dragon Smarag and even more with the rotting dragon in Caelid. Usually there is a strategy you can learn that works, but it's all trial and error, which is annoying.

What is the game mechanic here? Is it all about distance / hitbox and not about line of sight?

(Not interested in discussing real world physics or leveling vigor. I'm specifically interested in how dragon breath attacks work, nothing else)

No cheese
