      That one red area to the East of the starting area: ☠️

      (I’ve forgotten all the map areas, haven’t played in almost a year.)

          Don’t forget the rot swamp in the middle that tricks you into thinking you can bypass it on horse

        Im really glad that I didn’t play elden ring when it came out and the hype was real instead I got it at the right moment in my life and have been enjoying it over the winter like a fine wine.

        A funny thing I just did was to try and get to the

        spoiler

        lift of rold to burn the tree or whatever

        through the sewers. Having only ever played DS1 my intuition was “Hmm this is a souls game so I bet I need to suffer through the shitty sewers to get to the next part of the game like blighttown”

        Needless to say, I got all the way down to that

        spoiler

        naturalborn of the void space insect thing and murked it

        before I considered maybe theres another way to the lift. It had never occured to me to just follow the main road through lyndell to the big door and just open it. I felt equally stupid and kind of proud that I basically discovered like 3 new underground areas and beat that omen prick fair and square when I was probably underleveled. I don’t use magic or spells or grease in souls games just good old fashon sword and shield and health potions until it dies or I die.

          I’m the same way. No tricks, no fancy shit. Just manfight until I get good enough to beat them.

      Oh I got the stone key to unlock this first fog door. It’s in the tutorial area so it’s got to be easy, right?

        Not sure if it works on wine but it works on proton. Source : me, I played elden ring two days ago on steam. Even the multiplayer online component which uses EAC works.

      I just boink boink boinked past everything. My brother actually got mad at me for not playing the game “as it supposed to be played”.

      They said Vegas so I went to Vegas!

        and we all died to cazadors 5 times, and to deathclaws 30 times, and then succeeded in slipping past them, right?

          Cazadors are worse than deathclaws and I will die on that hill. In fact I did in that hill outside of Goodsprings more often than I care to count because those fuckers keep killing you even after they’re dead.

    This is one of my biggest peeves in games. Ass Creed Valhalla was really bad about it. Identical looking dudes on opposite sides of a river. One set are pushovers the others are completely lethal. Hate it.

    I was playing through the Minecraft twilight forest mod and i decided to go kill the lich first, i was wondering why i couldnt damage it at all, turns out the mod has a progression and in areas you havent unlocked you can’t damage anything, i went and killed the naga and was able to do it

      That sounds like a pretty shitty way of implementing a progression system, but I suppose Minecraft mods aren’t known for their great game design.
