Forget Mimic get Black Knife Tiche...She does bleed with every succesful projectile he throws...
To get the summon just kill a pretty difficult boss located in the open world.

Is it just DS3 in open world form or would someone who didn't particularly care for that game still enjoy this? Can enemies still 2 shot you in this even when you're "beefy"?
I love the shit out of these games, but I totally understand it's not for everyone.
Originally posted by TrocityAll the things you didn't like about Dark Souls 3 are core aspects of basically every FromSoft game. Elden Ring is just Dark Souls on steroids. And yeah you're going to get 2-shot 90% of the game. This game (and franchise'😉 formula is essentially that you're going to get 2-shot by any bosses on your level and 5-shot by bosses below your level. Yes there are tanky builds you can go into to alleviate that, but "borderline zero room for error, you will die 90 times to each new boss" will be a prominent part of your experience with the game.

TBF, I've found Elden Ring to be quite a bit easier than other Fromsoft games. The summons help a lot and the open world design gives you a lot of freedom to explore and level up without the need for grinding. Also, the checkpoints are a lot more forgiving now. Most bosses will have either a site of grace or a stake of Marika right before them.
Edit: Oh, and you gets tons of flasks later on.
Miscalculated on my planned main.
So it's going to be level 60 Hero: 40 Vig, 25 End, 20 Dex, and 14 Arc.
2 Blood Cross-Naginata, left with Seppuku, right with Bloodhound Step.
Veteran's Armor, Helm, Leggings, and Cruciable Knight's Gauntlets.
Talismans: Jar, Erdtree +2, Amber +2, Bull-goat.
You can lower it to level 55 with the Bandit and the Soreseal (instead of Jar), but I don't think the lower defenses are worth it.

Yup.
Mage has never been this OP with the Best spells you can 1 shot any boss and the summons make it easier.

Thanks. I kept getting sidetracked with exploring, caves, crypts, catacombs, etc.
Get this weapon its pretty much the Best early build weapon in the game.
Speedrunners use it áll the Time.

Elden Ring sells 12 million copies in less than a month. It is also the 6th most played game on Steam ever, in terms of concurrent players.
It was projected to sell about 4 million in its first month by Bandai-Namco, so it has shattered expectations.

Regarding the earlier discussion about the strength of mages in the game, I echo style times point that there are a lot of situations where being ranged only really works against you. I'm trying to fight the first ulcerated tree spirit and at level 25 with only 12 vitality this shit is a ****ing nightmare.

The thing is, you can't sell these.
This on the other hand went for $10,000 back in 2015 with a ton of bidders. The "regular" Deluxe Edition was $300 sealed back then.

The Mimic summon got nerfed. Looks like that thing was performing way better than From intended it to. Barricade got nerfed understandably too, as it was allowing most Greatshields to block with no stamina loss at all. Ashes of War like Hoarfrost Stomp and the one on the Sword of Night and Flame got nerfed too.
Although, it seems like shields collectively got their Guard Boost buffed due to Barricade being nerfed. In some ways, it could be even better to just passively have the extra Guard Boost. And you can still use Barricade, although the window is smaller now.
I don't know what the hard numbers are yet though.
