Before I give an actual review of the DLC, Shadow of the Erdtree (FromSoft), I want to talk about what I found frustrating in the game. In some ways, it’s just an extension of my exasperation with the FromSoft games in general. Also, it’s funny that I started a post yestreday, intent on doing an… Continue Reading
Today, I am offering my definitive review of Shadow of the Erdtree, the Elden Ring DLC from FromSoft. I have played through the whole thing, found every place noted in Eurogamer’s video about 11 hidden areas in the DLC–which I’ve included below. I’m feeling smug because I found all of them. But, it speaks to… Continue Reading
In the last post, I was talking about gatekeeping in FromSoft games. I left off by bringing up the ongoing debate in the RKG Discord/Patreon about the *sigh* use of summons. I sigh because it’s boring as fuck. It’s pretty much as simple as if you don’t like that the boys use them, then, BYEEEEEEEE!… Continue Reading
I am pretty tired of the topic of gatekeeping, but I need to talk about it as a FromSoft fan. There are two reasons I’m specifically bringing it up now, and I’ll try to get to both. The first is *sigh* the isuse of accessibility options in games. You would think that in the year… Continue Reading
We’re back again to talk about the final boss of Shadow of the Erdtree. I will try to stick to that topic, but I will probably fail. Again, here is the pro forma *SPOILER WARNING* I will say that Krupa had the first Lore Masterclass of the second series. This one was on Ranni, and… Continue Reading
In the last post, I started talking about the last boss, then wandered all over the place. Yes, this is my method, and I’m sticking to it. I did mention who the boss was and that I knew better than to go into the fog gate at 2 a.m. *SPOILER WARNING* The Radahn fight in… Continue Reading
Ok. Everything about this post is a *SPOILER WARNING* because I’m about to talk about the last boss whom I reached last night. Hm. Well. Ok. I’m going to take this in chronological order and stop numbering these posts. This is going to be about bosses in general because I fought the final boss for three hours… Continue Reading
I am back with my neverending posts about the Elden Ring DLC, Shadow of the Erdtree. *SPOILER WARNING* At the end of the last post, I was gushing about the Mesmer fight. One, the fact that he was where he was, which took me completely by surprise. Again, it shouldn’t have because lore-wise, it makes… Continue Reading
Hello. At the end of the last post, I was talking about my disappointment with *SPOILER WARNING* an optional boss, Metyr, Mother of Fingers. I mentioned how Fextralife was saying that it was a hard boss and that it hit hard. The latter is definitely true. I think the former would have been true if… Continue Reading
The subtitle for this post is: And the four bosses I recently fought. In the last post, I ended by bitching about the Furnace Golems. Oh, here is your standard *SPOILER WARNING* In the RKG Discord, someone was asking how to get to a portion of the map I thought I had been to. Turns out,… Continue Reading
