I got pummeled by a rando lion guard that came out of nowhere when i was looking at scenery and where to go next

EUPORIA

Still maining the Ancient Meteoric Ore Greatsword, I think it's by far the best weapon in the DLC. Looks amazing as well.
Fits well into my fashion set as well lmao, wearing the Skeletal Mask, Raptors black feathers and the gauntlets and greaves of Solitude, looking like a skeletal death knight.
But since defeating Gaius, my 2nd go to is his Sword Lance with the Blood tax ash of war and blood affinity. Procs bleed really well, looks cool, as well. Really nice secondary weapon for anyone going with a Strength Arcane build, like myself.

Promised Consort is amazing. Ive done 7 tries so far and already got to phase 2 and that was with Tiche as i was testing strats out. I dont like using Tiche or the clone blob one due to how strong they are, but in phase 2 PC one shotted half health Tiche

Im on NG+ too so his health is the highest i think of all FS. Its like two Midirs.

I might have to use scarlet or bleed if i get desperate enough.

This will go down as an "actually hard" boss for me like Chalice Dungeon Amydgala in Bloodborne and 3 stages fire Isshin in Sekiro. Will probably be thee hardest.

Man those cinamatics are so cool.

This literally feels like the climatic final of the entire SoulsVerse lmao.

Even moreso than Gale.

Got him to 2nd stage without Tiche 9th try

Fire Knight Hilde is who im using who doesnt really do much damage but moves around a lot which makes her survive longer and distract more

I also have access to Thollier and Ansbach

Man it really makes me want to start a whole new game over and fight him in regular game instead of my ng+

I can get to Consorts second stage consistently now but i lose really quick second phase

Endurance fights are my only real weakness

Thats why Midra was annoying to me and why Sekiro's Isshin was the hardest boss before this

I HAD CONSORT DOWN TO A QUARTER BAR AND THEN I SNEEZED

F*** IT IN USING ROT AND TICHE

ME ANSBACH AND HUW ALMOST WON

BUT GOD SAID NO

AND I HAD 3 HEALS LEFT

Summoning kinda makes the fight harder ngl

Yeah i know they myltiply for summons thats why i stopped with thollier

But ansbach is actually helpful and it seems lore related

Im gonna try without them tho

It is better without Thollier but its still the biggest health bar oat lmao

Got murked since he was way more aggressive this time but yeah its a lot more manageable even tho its still big af

Imma try a few rounds just us 2 and just be on it like Lady Maria, Freia or Millina

Milady weapon, quickstep ash of war, greatshield that allows auto input of ash of war + nothing but defense tailsmans and a single magic heal 13 health heal is the plan atm and im on 18 scardutrees

So close back to back in a row

Defeated Metyr, Midra, Bayle, Putrescent Knight, Gaius...
Basically 100% the DLC.
Just got to Enir-Ilim now.

STR/ARC build, maining the Ancient Meteoric Ore Greatstword.
Secondary weapon is Blood Sword Lance + Eclipse Crest Greatshield for guard countering.

10/10 DLC IMO, I think I would consider some of the locations as even better than the base game.
Jagged Peak, Abyssal woods (esp as you approach Midras manse, laying there decrepit in the darkness of the woods), Stone Coffin Fissure, the final finger ruins underneath the cathedral, Shaman Village - some of the most atmospheric, spectacular, visually breathtaking locations in gaming, ever, possibly.
Belurat & Specimen Storehouse, as well, fantastic, atmospheric dungeons, full of details that really bring them to life.

On to the final legacy dungeon & then I'm done with one of the greatest gaming experiences ever (for now, at least).

I DEFEATED PROMISED CONSORT ON MY 26TH TRY

3rd place for the most tries a boss took me. Chaloce Amydgala took 30 on the dot and Isshin took 40 sumn for me, i usually beat most bosses in 3 to 7 tries

I used bleed Miladay with a Greatshield that lets me auto do ash of war (which i used shadow step or whatever its called) while summoning Ansbach and spirit Mimic Tear (i didnt know they took out Mimic Tear healing btw, good balancing choice tho)

Tailsmans i used Rotten Winged Seord Insignia, Golden Braid, Dragoncrest Greatshield & Two Headed Turtle

13 heals and one magic

My spells were golden vow and Black Blade

I tried 5 times in a row with this strat then finally got it

Im on NG+ and have 18 Scardutree frags & 9 Reveres level 295

Great fight and amazing spectacle. One of my favs

First time using Mimic Tear on a boss besides a single dungeon boss in maingame when it was broken af. Think i finally had a good excuse to break the in-case of an emergency glass

Ah f*** i quoted op on accident again when ive gone so long not doing that

Miquella and Malenia are incomplete flowers/ plants.

Miquella cannot bloom never reaching his full beauty while Malenia is in a constant state blooming which will make her lose her dignity and self

one should note that Malenias second phase also has butterflies while Miquella is stuck being a cocoon.

Marika being a tree has both male and female parts producing pollen and seeds. Miquella and Malenia are twins that shouldve been born as one entitiy completing a real god.

F*** me I've been trying for 2 hours, only managed to get PC Radahn down to a quarter of his health once
So many times, I don't even get to his 2nd phase

His second phase is easier tbh

the parallels and symbolism are out of this world

People complain alot about how radahn taking on a vow would ruin Malenia and his story and I kinda agree.

But I saw a good theory that it couldve very well been that Radahn challanged Malenia and Miquella.

Saying: „if I lose yeah sure I become your lord if you can beat me“ something along that.

And honestly that makes the most sense to me and is my favorite interpretation.

I got his ass

After ~40 attempts and basically the whole day with a bunch of longer breaks after every dozen or so attempts

Only used Ansbach as a summon, cause that's the biggest mf G in elden ring history and my boi

I f***ing did it
I feel so empty after completing the DLC damn, I loved every second of it (except those Aging Untouchables in the Abyssal woods, f*** those stealth sections and f*** parrying them)

Amazing game, amazing DLC, Miyazaki is the GOAT

Chalice Dungeon Amygdala was some bullshit
