I know they're probably just there to make the area feel less empty, but coupled with the ghost trees, it feels like they have some significance.

Please don’t come for me this is my first play-through, I know it gets worse I’m so scared 😭

28×22 poster size :)

I didn't even kill him or attack him i came here to get weapon upgrade and he was like this

This and the spinning lasers attack both begin with a nuke that is seemingly unavoidable if I am within melee range when she begins casting. I can't really see a way that these giant chunks of damage can be avoided... what am I doing wrong here?

I can definitely beat this boss even with the damage but I'd like to master this, ideas are appreciated.

2026 sucks. So get daily revenge on a spiralling cursed goat and watch your cortisol fall.

The beginning reminded me of this Rick and Morty scene.

I see most people saying they kill bosses in less than 10 attempts, but for me it takes over 20 lot of times. Im fighting godrick rn and im 30 attempts in. I think can beat him in the next 10 but still, also for example ulcerated tree spirit took me around 120 attempts. My total deaths are ~570

I'm so proud of myself,

I keep coming back to these weapons in every single playthrough. At this point, it's starting to feel like an actual addiction lol.

I've tried so many other weapons, but nothing comes close to the sheer aggression of Backhand Blades.

The speed, the mobility, the constant pressure, the way you can chain attacks and stay right on top of your opponent. Especially with Blind Spot or Bloodhound's Step. Holy shit, it's addictive.
Every time I try something else, I end up missing that feeling. Other weapons aren't necessarily bad, but they just feel so slow and restrictive in comparison.

And lately, I've started mixing parries into this playstyle, which makes it even more satisfying. I use a Misericorde with regular Parry, and I've gotten used to switching my grip and pulling it out almost instinctively, sometimes right after using Bloodhound's Step.

I had this ridiculous PvP fight against someone using Milady. He caught me with a jumping attack and left me one hit away from death. I escaped with BHS, landed a hit, chased him down when he tried to retreat, and hit him again.

Then he turned to attack me.

I don't even know how to explain it, but I just knew he was about to swing. I used BHS to close the distance, instantly switched from my two-handed Backhand Blades to my Misericorde, parried his attack, and finished him with a riposte.

The whole thing happened so fast that I barely had time to process what I'd just done.

And that's exactly why I love these weapons so much. It's not just the damage or the weapon art. It's the freedom to be ridiculously aggressive, constantly reposition, bait attacks, and punish mistakes without ever losing momentum.
It genuinely feels like playing Bloodborne inside Elden Ring.

At this point, I can't find another weapon that gives me the same feeling.

Does anyone else have a weapon they keep coming back to, no matter how many times they try something new?

I'm currently on my third or fourth playthrough of the DLC, and I'm noticing for the first time that this fucker is deeply unsettling and actually kind of scary. I guess it's because I'm usually so busy panic rolling around the arena or fighting with the camera that I've never really paid attention to him, but this time I've realized how much I don't like it. It's movement's are extremely unnatural, it watches you with those dead eyes, and the humanoid legs underneath come at you like pyramid head or something. And it fuckin' rattles. I think if FromSoft put all of this energy into an actual horror game it would rival anything else you could compare it to. I can't be the only one to come to this conclusion, can I?

Better or Worse?

Just started Elden Ring and now I can’t play anything else. At this point, I don’t even care about GTA 6 💀

I didn’t know this could happen 🥲

If it does, please keep it as spoiler-free as possible.
