Nos escaping draconic tree sentinel man. One mistake and he kills you instantly. With or without mount. f**k this sh*t! 

 

I tried searching of other ways to reach lyndell but there is no other way! f**k this sh*t!!! 

I use a sword with poison build up on him, got him to about half when he starts doing the lightning attacks and ran away. He dies by himself.

 

You could also just poison him from behind using poison mist.

No, got just the armour set :|

Oh man, Leyndell is so f**king gorgeous!

The first sprawling view of the whole city took my breath away! And then I walked in and the art, the music, and the visual story-telling is just making me feel all kinds of feels.

Also, I can't help but walk slowly through this ghost town (for extra cinematic feels) while taking it all in. The atmosphere is incredible.

The save system is f**ked up. Lost hours of play through because PS4 shut off automatically

 

I almost reached Rykard through the back path killing off mini boss in between, then PS4 just turned itself off and I lost all the progress Even Grace is lost why can't they save save the game at every grace?

Isn't it gorgeous, also the knights in there packs a punch with their lighting holy damage. The upper part i.e Divine tower of the west altus, Elden throne and Avenue Balcony holds some mind blowing crafts in the game. 

 

That's is to say the whole Altus Plateau is such a beautiful area in the game. After that Mt. Gelmir and undergrounds where dark beauty exists.

Lol, I think the game hates you. How does your PS4 suddenly shuts off automatically. This seems like a rare problem.

The level design here is blowing my mind all over the place, dude! It's so good that I think it can even give me a f**king orgasm.

Just how the f**k is something so huge and so intricately designed set in the middle of an open-world game? Just how? 

I think I'm gonna have to do multiple runs through this dense, multi-layered city just to get a proper mental map of it.

 

Surely the game has peaked here? Because I can't fathom something else in the game being better designed than this.

Wait till you reach Miquella’s Haligtree lol. Best dungeon in the game and it’s only an optional region. As far as open land goes, the underground regions were my favourite. Nokron, Nokstella and Deeproot depths were some of the weirdest and coolest locations in the game. Special mentions to Consecrated snowfields and Raya Lucaria academy as well. This game is chock full of weird, yet brilliant and memorable locations to explore.

Oh no, there is something better than this. An arena and a boss who was once a ruler of lands between before Queen Marika. 

Spectacular, both boss fight and the arena. I hope you don't miss because it's easily missable. I went in through others signs. I once thought maybe I'm triggering the end boss but I remembered Melina spoke about roots with thorns (you'll see when you get there)

Crumbling Farum Azula is mystical in most ways, land of the greater demi-gods.

I am exploring Stormveil castle, I feel game has already peaked. 

 

Though I have been to Sifora river. That place amazing too.

 

From Software are masters of creating twisted and creative world's that you wanna explore. 

 

I get a chuckle remembering people criticising it's graphics. You can make sharp graphics like Demon's Souls (PS5), but it isn't as intriguing like ps3 version.

All you can do is chuckle back at them. We know it's wonderful, these A holes just mess around rather playing.

I'd be pissed and that's one of the reason I refunded on PC. 

Hackers and cheats!

PS4 sometimes does that. Probably overheating maybe. I have pro model. Losing save is not rare though, many people lost hours of progress on PC too. Also, if you don't quit it just doesn't save. 

 

Anyway, beat Rykard. Easy peasy. Second easiest after Renella.

Yeah, Stormveil Castle is awesome! Absolutely loved exploring it.

Was a tad disappointed with Raya Lucaria Academy's length, but Leyndell more than makes up for it. It's like Stormveil Castle x10.

Nice video with an interesting perspective.

 

I had kind of a similar thought creep up while playing as to how FS could possibly imagine to top this with their next title.

Maybe they'll intentionally go for a game with a smaller scope like a Sekiro 2 or something. I personally won't have a problem with it. The combat in that is just too good to be limited to a single game.

Rykard, Lord of Blasphemy has always been an easy one by the lore and boss. He's was also mocked by his followers at one point for being an impudent.

Yep, it was short by length, there are bigger castles afterwards but not as big as Stormveil. 

Also have you found every little secrets, hidden areas? It's quite a bit there tbh.. There’s also the caves you access outside of the gates in the Liurnia of the Lakes.

 

The Academy of Raya Lucaria gave such vibes of Hogwarts. I almost felt I've played the dark side of Hogwarts Legacy.

Yeah, as far as I can tell I've found everything there barring the Thops questline. I've already given him the key, but I probably need to go back to the Academy and look for him to continue the quest.

Let me know in spoiler tags if there's anything there that's easily missable.

I'm pretty much trying to turn each place upside-down in an effort not to miss anything and have been avoiding the main path as much as possible.

 

As far as I can tell, I think I've gone through every cave and catacomb so far.

I'm really enjoying them too BTW. Even though they all use the same basic template, there's always some slight variation with each one that keeps things fun and fresh. 

And sometimes you're rewarded with some very useful items too

Yeah, Raya Lucaria Academy definitely gave out Hogwarts vibes. 

But the thing is that it isn't just about the aesthetics. I want to be able to experience the life of a student living and studying in Hogwarts. It's something that I've been utterly craving for ever since I read the books.

So yeah, as phenomenal as Elden Ring is, this is certainly not an itch that it can scratch.
