Man, Knights Lightning Spear faith spell is so awesome

This is the spell they should given us for defeating Gwyn way back when in DS1 to use in NG+, its what he used to shoot the dragons in the cutscene

Need Sunlight Lightning to return tho

The gameplay hasnt been janky since bloodborne & ds3

Its totally different from ds1 and ds2 + demons with a lot more to do and use in gameplay

Ds1 and demons is minimal on what you can do while being janky, while ds2 there is a lot you can do but its really janky

Bloodborne is when they focused on and upgraded their combat which then goes into DS3 and the standards we follow today where it became great

One of the reasons DS3 is my fav Dark Souls

Then Sekiro and ER sharpened to the furthest point and allows actual stealth

DS3 is still so good to this day & i think The Ringed City is still my overall fav DLC out of all their titles

Bloodborne & Elden Ring are my fav gameplay and aesthetic/lore wise

DS2 has so many cool ideas and one of the most unique weapons outside of BB n ER and it still has some of the coolest combinations to this day out of all them but it just sucks the struggle you have to deal with in half of the base game, its DLCs are amazing tho and the fire tower area crumbling into the water of DS2 base game is one of my fav areas in all of FS extended universe to this day

You literally go wherever you want, thats what i did too. I explored 90 percent of the open world before even doing any of the major boss areas

Thr canonical way to go tho is Belurat Town first, off to the side of the first area

Then the boss grace will create the arrow grace waypoint for you on your map to point you in the canon general area if you need guidance, just like the waypoint grace arrow exists in the map on the base game too

Bellurat, Castle Ensis, the place to the middle left of the map, shadow castle then church of the bud - and then end game places

I cannot find my way to the lower sections of the map for the life of me. Both times I thought I was going the right way, it just lead to some catacombs and that's it

RELLANA THE TWIN KNIGHT DEFEATED FiRST TRY

My first one shot on a boss in the DLC

The twin blade phase was so cool. The bosses are awesome in this DLC and really creative.

Radahn hella easy I just beat him rn with my 2 npc summons 10+ mimic tear coop summon and Blasphemous blade. That s*** was cake idk why ppl complain about him

There’s some secret paths and caves that take you further down. I was also struggling a little bit to find a way down to the lower levels of the overworld but eventually I did.

Finally beat the last boss after taking a few days off

Messmer dead 5th try

GODDAMN that fight was awesome holy s***. Def one of their best.

That centipede boss was boring af, let my mimic deal with it

I liked it

All 10 bosses of this dlc are S tier but people aint ready for this discussion

wasnt crazy hard but looked beautiful and had an amazing theme

somehow there is people that hate relaxed spectacle fights like mother of fingers or Scadutree avatar always an L for them

F*** the tree

Its so dope

Bayle, the sunflower, rellanas second phase, divine beast lion second phase, the scorpion centipede queen, the hippo-rhino-porcupine thing and messmer is so good, and most of them theyre so creative n unexpected

The skeleton kinda dude on his horse was the only one annoying to me so far but i like his animation like the spine twists to hit you with more reach lmao 💀 💀

Gaius was the only boss that felt standard so far but the fight was still good

Even the new open world and new dungeon bosses are dope as well such as the death knights and the alpha berserk bear - and the upgraded base game mini bosses top that have new design elements or new movesets in the DLC like the Crucible Knights and the Demi Human queen leader etc.

S*** is awesome cant wait to see the last hand full or so of them, its wild how many bosses there are and how i still have a few left

Huh, he threw Sunlight Spears in the cutscene and you get acces to those post beating Gwyn in NG+

dlc radahn or base game

Hell no and im a huge FS glazer

It has some of their best fights but def not all S-tier let’s be real

You saying a boss like that Putrescent Knight and Gaius are up there with the best of the best bosses they ever did

Im talking about when he threw multiple at once and they materialize in the air along with his hand and threw them all at once

Thats what Knights Lightning is in ER

Unless im misrembering the full cutscene

Sunlight Spear is just a stronger and orange colored regular Lightining Spear with a bit more range which was a disappointment to me as the final boss soul - the multi lightning spear attack (which we finally now have with Knights Lightning Spear) would have been better and what it should have been

Would honestly love to see them tackle some sci-fi horror s***. Can only imagine how cool the boss designs would be from FromSoft in a futuristic sci-fi setting.

Agreed.

Or like some biopunk or steampunk type of scifi style if they want to still stick to mostly melee combat in the souls engine.

I would also like to see them repurpose the AC6 engine as well tho in the future, have a shooter sci fi or whatever type game that still has soulsy dna at its core but its more suited for quicker movement and excellent gun play. Just change the robots to people, or have an exosuit kind of thing like Anthem but better, mini ACs like Gallout 4 power armor or sumn.

Theres still one or two original IPs we havent seen yet that they announced way back when iirc inbetween Sekiro and ER.

ER and AC6 was the 2 out 4. One of them they did mention is more horror focused too.

And with the success of Sekiro and AC6 the second head designer behind Miyazaki who is taking on the sideprojects like AC6 said it gives the team more confidence to not only go into new ip but also revamp old ip such as AC and how Sekiro started out as a Tenchu reboot.

I want to see a modern day Kings Field. Souls x Skyrim and in first person would be awesome.

Iirc you don’t see multiple materializing from his hand right? You do see multiple lightning spears being thrown at dragons but it’s not clear where they are coming from. I always took that as them just being generic lightning spears Gwyn’s warriors were throwing at them during the war on the ancient dragons

I do think the new Elden Ring incantation is cool tho
