Felt like having a nap, ended up in the past. Worst air bnb ever.
Placidusax has a ton of spectacle attacks which I spent far too long trying to capture (again). All the dragons in #EldenRing seem to have all the coolest spells as well.

With Malenia out of the way, it was time to finally burn the Erdtree. Crrrrumbling Farum Azula (iykyk) was next and what a fantastic landscape (air...scape?) to explore, Godskin Duo aside.
I upgraded myself a big bonk stick and did a big-bonk-sad with Alexander #EldenRing

Seriously, I have 15 screenshots of Malenia because I just found the boss so cool. #EldenRing

Malenia was the only thing I recorded while playing #EldenRing.
I felt like I wanted to properly get to grips with all the endgame fights without using spirit ashes at all.
Most bosses in the game took a couple of attempts, a few took 10-15. This one took over 300! Worth it.

Next on the chopping block was Mohg. Pretty cool guy, minus the whole flaming blood curse thing but we all have our faults.
And then... Malenia.
I have so many screenshots of how cool this fight was and I can only post 4 at a time, so whew. Here she is spearing me for all my health! #EldenRing

Just some swag spell and ash effects. This particular pool of scarlet rot was a considerable challenge thanks to the rotten tree spirit within. The sisters afterwards also didn't make things easy, but lots of fun nontheless. #EldenRing

I didn't expect a weird stealth section in this town. Nor did I expect to see Loretta again, but I guess ghost versions of bosses returning as physical forms was a running theme.
I finally managed to find and farm my final knight set, which I love. And I detoured to Mohg's place too #EldenRing

There's so much cool stuff in the snow fields. Magma wyrm's aren't new by now but the environment makes it cooler somehow.
This cave had super fancy ice visuals. I really wish I had the stats to use the sword but I didn't go dex. And finally getting the Night's Cavalry set was rad. #EldenRing

Fire Giant just can't catch a break, that's painful man.
Spotting the invisible way to the Haligtree was admittedly looked up, and check out this poor buried tarnished guy. Totally harmless, until you try to help... #EldenRing

Do people get fatigued by the time they make it to the mountaintops? The game's long for sure but I was just constantly in awe at all the landscapes.
Rykard's VA was pretty fun too. I was sort of back and forth with the manor quests here.
And of course we're still vibing with Goldmask #EldenRing

Just out here posing with the boys. Morgott and Godfrey the Golden trying to ruin things though...
Anyway, then it was back to the sewers and figuring out how to not fall to my death (challenge: impossible).
Then the mountaintops of the giants! #EldenRing

The soldjars are the best little guys just for that pun.
First impressions of Leyndell were crazy, wow. I got so overwhelmed navigating the streets! I found it a shame to kill flute-guy.
Also... Nope! Sewers were a bad time. #EldenRing

These dancing ladies were just hilarious. Chill peeps until you ruin the party by doing a bit of violence, oh well.

Weird stuff going on atop this section of the game. Flying turtles? Goldmask pointing silently at something? Putting rings on random dolls?
Anyway, the black knife fight here took a while to get down, had to really change up my playstyle for more mobility #EldenRing

A bit of this and a bit of that.
Platforming actually being a thing in this souls game is still weird to me.
The lake of rot was about as annoying as you'd imagine. Look at all these pest guys.
Astel was a fun fight to top it all off with though #EldenRing

I discovered death blight, did a bit of Volcano Manor invasion, rode this chariot and finally the build came together when I found Golden Vow. Big paladin energy, also Siluria's Spear was a fantastic new weapon #EldenRing

I had a few avenues to explore. The lift of Dectus brought me to the golden views of Altus. I found Volcano Manor properly. And I explored all of Fia's storyline to encounter Fortissax - check out these awesome lightning spells that I totally didn't die like 5 times at to get these shots #EldenRing
