c elden ring s: holy poo poo this game is so good. so far i've played this much



and i think im only 1/3 of the way through the story. absolutely enthralled

It's v. good. The map is huge but the region's aren't so big that it's like Oblivion or whatever where it's just masses of generic empty land, it's hard to explain.

I still have no idea wtf is going on though. I killed some lords and now I have their souls but what do I do with them? Wtf are these rune arcs I have for?

I had to have this explained to me too *deep breath*

when you kill a megaboss it drops a great rune. this great rune does nothing until you take it to a specific divine tower (the one in the region in which the boss was found) and plug it into a thing at the top, which unlocks it. you then select one unlocked great rune at a time to equip. the equipped unlocked great rune still does nothing, until you spend a rune arc, then it gives you its described buff. until you die, then the effect is lost until you spend another rune arc

this is explained in pieces in a couple of different UI places and tutorial popups but if you played the game like me these may have happened hours or days apart

afaik you dont get the great rune+rune arc buff when summoned, because i was watching some fight club tournament videos and people were relying on their great rune stat boost for higher equip load and ended up fat rolling everywhere lol

it is dense as hell. there is still plenty to do in ng+ because there’s no way you can find everything on your first playthrough, and you will definitely accidentally ruin some questlines by finishing others first or by making “wrong” choices. i just wish there were some different items to find, but it seems like the only benefit gear-wise is that you can double up on unique weapons.

i always throw down my summon sign whenever i see one of those little posts but i never summon others because it's not worth the added difficulty / getting invaded by min/max shitlords

i had a run today with some stranger that lasted over 30 minutes because neither of us knew where the hell we were going or what to do. we cleared out the entire area plus what we thought was the boss. we stood there for a bit awkwardly then silently moved forwards to kill more bad guys. we eventually found the REAL boss and i helped him take it down. feels real good, man

yeah that's my only real complaint so far- most of the really cool gear has a permanent ash of war

well that and how from's usual opaque and unguided quests don't really work in a 100 hour open world game
