i was in subterranean summoning grounds where various big things are causing me pain, found my way into to leynfell (?) caves...where i eventually opened the door to the boss, was confused by the lack of mist, got killed by another big un hiding around the corner and then found the door locked again.

To be honest i think i'm reaching the end of my time with this, starting to get a bit sick of the same routine. At times i feel like i'm playing out of duty and some dogged determination to get through rather than actual fun.  Still, 60+ hours on a game is good going for me, currently level 87.

Then again i might go back, as the game is a bit like a sick addiction now.

Fun watching OP builds. 

Maybe you set fire to the tree?!

Ok, I did this. Has that set light to the erdtree?

Spent the last couple days up the mountain and cleared off Niall, the frost dragon, godskin duo, and the fire giant. Nothing took too many attempts so was pretty pleased with that. Now I've got the option of doing the tornado place, the haligtree, or going back underground for mohg.

Up to 60 strength and sure what else to put points into now. Paralysed by the choice of weapons so still rocking that big club I got in the starting area.

I managed it first time!  And then died many times on NG+!

It's the Elden Stars or whatever it is that fucked me.  And those rings.

Haligtree is a fun area to run through. And the main area is stunning

Read some stuff and mimic armed with Rivers of Blood makes this as much a cheese fest for the player as it normally is for Malenia.

Didn’t feel guilty or disappointed at all with this manner of victory. She deserved it.

Ok, that remaining quest line is no longer available. Theoretically, I can save scum and get 3 of the 4. If I can be bothered.

Nice one! I got 1000 Gamerscore after 200hrs but across two playthroughs for the endings - 180 then 20.

I still plan on getting Platinum on PS5 at some point.
