In the last post, I was talking about
*SPOILER WARNING*
going into Shadow Keep. Then I went into dueling/dualing summon signs (red/gold) and completely lost my way. Hey, there’s a lot in this game. I will talk about whatever is on my mind. I have had a stroke. I am neurospicy (in non-diagnosed ways). My memory is shot because of said stroke. Even before my medical crisis, though, my mind skipped all over the place, and it’s even worse now.
Anyway. Hornsent or Needle Knight Leda? That was the inital question I was pondering in the last post.
Side note: Here’s one issue I have with FromSoft games, especially this one. Every choice is a bad one. Or rather, a complicated, stressful one. There are no good choices in a FromSoft game–only less bad ones. So I will sit there for several minutes and just ponder which choice to make. The bigger problem with this game is that it’s so damn huge. Not problem, per se, but an issue. I play the FromSoft games several times each. We’re talking dozens of time each. I have started Elden Ring about seven or eight times, but I have only finished it four times.I need to finish it two more times to get all six endings. There are four ‘normal’ endings (one vanilla ending, Fia’s ending, Dung Eater’s ending, and Goldmask’s ending), and two special ones (Ranni’s and Frenzied Flame)–so six in total.
Most of the time, I’ll just choose the ending I like better (or dislike yes). In this case, though, I really hesitated. Not beacuse I didn’t have a clear-cut choice (Hornsent), but because I didn’t know if I would play the DLC again–or when. I do have my strength character ready to go, but I don’t know how close I am to the end. Also, I really don’t like Needle Knight Leda, so I don’t want to help her. Even though Hornsent invades me further down the line. I can’t really be mad at him, but I’m still mad at him. Even though I defeated him.
In the main game, I never chose Millicent’s sisters over her until–wait. I’m not sure I ever have. I just checked. I have not. I have fought that fight three times (that I can remember) and chose her every time. It’s way late in the game so I am not there with the rest of my characters. And, as I said in the last post, it’s a very elaborate and twisting questline that makes it difficult to get to the end. I had to Google it to make sure I got there eventually.
Side note to the side note: This is when I usually give up and start Googling during a From game. In Dark Souls III, there came a moment when I had to make a choice. Or rather, in that case, there was a new mechanism in the game that I needed to try. “New thing, who dis?” was my attitude. If it was new, then I had to try it, right?
