Should Biden Drop Out as the Dem Candidate? If so, Who Should Replace Him?

Props for the Bill Hicks pull. -
Stealth is more of a side mechanic of the game. You can make yourself stealthy for field enemies but that won't work with bosses. However, you might enjoy some of the assassin or claw builds: https://fextralife.com/elden-ring-claws-build-guide-cold-blooded-raptor/ https://fextralife.com/elden-ring-reduvia-build-guide-red-rogue/ https://fextralife.com/elden-ring-black-knife-build-guide-black-knife-assassin/

It's something that started with Demon's Souls and has carried over with the other Soulslikes. I love the online-lite system they use, whether it's the bloodstains and notes, or summoning and invasions. One thing I wish they would have done in Elden Ring is bring back the player as a boss mechanic. In Demon's Souls, you had a chance of being pulled into someone else's game to play as the Old Monk. They did it again in the DarkSouls 3 DLC but I can't remember which boss it was.

I tried playing the fish game but I couldn't finish it. The game was beautiful and I feel like the combat system was good but the controls were really clunky and I couldn't get passed that. And I hear they're even worse in the sequel. All I can say is "yup". I use gestures manually for that very reason.

The Fire Giant is very tough. Don't be afraid to summon others. Even the NPC summon that's available makes a big difference in drawing aggro. Malenia can be soloed. Hell, she can be no-hit at level 1.

Make sure you're using your Spirit Ashes in that fight. And if you found Patches in one of the early dungeons you can buy Margit's Shackle from him. Using that in the fight will stun him during his first phase.

I think I just broke a quest but getting too close to the Shadow Keep 🤦

I think you're responding to the wrong post 😂.

I just got to Rellana in Castle Enis.....👀

You should see a red arrow below your health bar pointing down. That's a 5% reduction to your max HP. However, using the item she gives you (Baldachin Blessing) removes the effect and gives you a boost to your poise. This is great if you're playing a sword and board build. If you are, accept the hug when you're at a Site of Grace near a boss, then use the item right before starting the boss fight. You can do this as often as you like.

The icons under your status bar are identical to the icons of the spells, talismans, etc......that are in effect. There's also a Status screen in the menu showing all of your current stats, damage negation, resistances, etc..... Yeah, some things are obscure but the info you're looking for is readily available. You can also use the help button while in the menu. This allows you to scroll through the different stats to see how they effect your character. FYI I'm not trying to convince you to like the game but if those are your main issues rather than the actual gameplay then it might be worth diving back in. And if you're on PS5 I'd be happy to jump in with you and kill some bosses.

Just be careful if you decide to hug Fia and accept her "blessing".....

All those little glowing signs on the floor in the starting area? That's your tutorial. The game is meant to be esoteric by design. Miyazaki has mentioned before that it's influenced by his childhood. He used to "read" medieval books as a kid while barely understanding English and would make up the story in his head.

The most common mistake people make is not spending every single soul they have on Vigor until it's level 40. Obviously, you'll want to level up other stats to be able to use certain weapons as you progress but Vigor is the single most important stat in the game for the uninitiated. Once that's level 40, you'll start focusing on stats that affect weapon scaling and Endurance. As far as actual gameplay is concerned, stamina management and roll speed are critical. You want to make sure you keep your equipment load at medium so you're not fat rolling. And you need to make sure your stamina isn't fully depleted when you're done attacking/blocking or you'll open yourself up to being staggered. The most user friendly way to start the game is as a Confessor and choose the Crimson Amber Medallion for your keepsake. This puts you on the path to use the Winged Scythe which can carry you for a long time. Prior to that, you can grab the Uchigatana and/or the Twinblade very early on to get you rolling and speed up your progression. Spend the few points in Dex required to use them properly but don't go above the minimum. If you find that you like that build, keep with it until you fight Rykard. You can turn his Great Soul in for the Blasphemous Blade, and use the weapon art to cheese just about everything. Pair that with an appropriately leveled Mimic Tear and you'll shred every boss not named Miquella, Mohg, Fire Giant and Elden Beast. And if you want to try something else, you'll be comfortable with the game to respec by the time you beat Renalla. Also, don't be afraid to use guides. There's tons of content, much of it hidden, and it's possible to beat the game without ever seeing it. https://eldenring.wiki.fextralife.com/Elden+Ring+Wiki

When you see the summon sign for "let me solo her" you have to accept. Just sit back and enjoy the show. I have no idea how he makes it look so effortless. A quick run to Mohg and I'm finally in the DLC. It only took about a minute for my first death😂
