Nooo, the draconic tree sentinel outside the entrance door to Lyndel, he was a massive pain in the ass for me.

I think from what it sounds you want the swirley thing in the south east mountaintops of the giants, beat him and its farm azula straight away. There’s some good bosses there, placidusax (optional and easily missed) and maliketh. Godskin duo was a borefest. After that you’re home straight to the final run of bosses. Even when you beat the final boss you don’t automatically go to ng+, you still have the world to sweep and clear until the expansion.

Ahh I see. Admittedly I did use my mimic summon for the draconic tree sentinel as a bit of a distraction.. but that’s what the summons are for I guess.

I put this game off for so long because of souls difficulty, but being so open world, it’s as hard or as easy as you want to make it. The start of the game however can be a bit of a slog. I know a lot of people used the bloodhound fang sword, but I hate that thing so didn’t bother with it.

Yeah that’s what I meant ! I’m headed there next then, and finishing up all optional bosses before finishing the rest of the mains. Good to hear I don’t need to go straight to an NG+. I want to do the expansion before rolling over to a new game !

Got the fire giant down this morning. Took a couple of goes !

I fired up ER a week or so ago after not playing for quite some time. Completely forgotten how my character build works effectively and I’m harbouring 2 million runes so terrified to move anywhere!

Parked it again until the DLC.

Malenia down too! Took me a good three attempts. That second phase was brutal. I guess it’s off to maliketh now (sp?)

Sorry to dp, but I’ve pre ordered SoTET in advance because I’ve enjoyed this game so much. It’s not often I pre order. My only gripe, I just wish there was a quest npc notebook or jotter to which the tarnished toook down some notes with a pencil.

Edit. Placidusax and Maliketh defeated this afty.

Edit. And the last trio done. Ready for the dlc. The Elden beast was some bs though

Does anyone know if the DLC bundle pack will have a new set of trophies for the base game, Id like to restart fresh all over again like experiencing it all over again

Edit. Actually you know what I don’t know so I won’t comment

If they could be reset that would be great but I think you cannot reset trophies and they are permanently unlocked. Would just be nice to unlock them all again and start a new play through.

I remember Witcher 3 GOTY edition had a fresh set of trophies as that was classed as a different install (from memory) - Wondered if the ER DLC bundle might be something similar

Can't say for sure, but I'd highly doubt it as that never happened with other FromSoft titles.
