rynlingI was complaining about the punishing difficulty of Elden Ring yesterday, and my point still stands.
However! Parts of this game are much easier if
(a) you use a decent walkthrough, and
(b) you aren’t drinking heavily.
I didn’t 100% complete Stormveil Castle, but I think I was able to see everything worth seeing. Along with the help of a random NPC in bikini armor, I managed to defeat the level boss, who has one of the most over-the-top boss fight second stages I’ve ever seen. What he does is highly specific to his character and doesn’t make a lot of sense out of context, but I’ll try to summarize: He rips off his arm and replaces it with the head of a dragon, thereby giving himself a fire-breathing dragon arm.
I want to make it clear that the game plays this completely straight, and that all the character voices are provided by highly trained Shakespearean actors. It’s really something special.
