Ok, so does counter attack seems a bit OP, or is it just me?  Those banished knights in Stormveil castle that are so hard to beat? 3 counter attacks drops them like a sack of tofu (with the brick hammer), whole fight is over in 5 hits.

I was finally able to beat the grafted scion at the beginning of the game.  Guess I should start wandering around and see what other OCD challenge I can stumble into.

Try Night Maiden's Mist on a boss or great enemy and then run around it in a circle.  It has worked more times than it should.

I got lucky and picked up a +7 spear fairly early.   I preferred my katanas, but it helped for quite a while.

you can go offline for a little bit to get past it. i think you can also hit the side arrows to change from read to activate the lever.

No side arrows.  Whoever put it there placed it in the air. And the fucking thing has 4500 "likes", or they may be dislikes..

But I found this.

Have to try it tonight.

Fortunately, FromSoftware knows that not everyone wants the online experience in the game. There's an option right in Elden Ring's settings menu that lets you launch your campaign in offline mode.

To turn off online play, head to the pause menu and go to System>Network and then look for Launch Setting. Change it from Play Online to Play Offline. This way you can have a completely single-player experience.

the lever might open from a different spot above or below.
a week ago there was a patch nerfing the shit out of hoarfrost stomp. my ps5 has been disconnected from the internet for over a week so i didnt get the patch.
im playing the most over powered broken build on a +12 uchi so far.
hard to play a lot with my right hand broken.

You will want to go ahead, suck it up and just do the update. There are fixes to quest lines and shit that if go unchecked can lock you out of certain things.

There are still very powerful builds, even better ones, after the patch.

I am trying to figure out if I want to do a faith power stance build or a twin blade build

i started with a quality build and ran into a brick wall on comet guy. i restarted as samurai to do hoarfrost then of course it gets nerfed.
have +13 uchi and +12 mace. got the bell bearings for stones 1-4 too. found out the mace works great on those miner fucks and the crystal bitches.

since magic seems the only way to go i will likely respec the quality to magic.

Been playing a strength build, and this game really punishes melee only playstyle.  I haven't found anything particularly hard (well, except for the grafted scion at the beginning of the game), but a lot of the boss fights are really tedious.  10+ minute fights where you're tanking behind a shield most of the time, waiting for a combo that you can punish, is hardly my idea of fun.  

Vyke's war spear was fun when it triggers madness, but you can't exploit it by backstabbing, so what's the point?  I've basically just resorted to big hammer + lion's claw, for the pancake luz.

I did things out of order.
Lord of Blood was a pain even though I did have the item that makes you immune to his blood rings.  I learned about his shackle after I beat him. I still haven't gone to pick it up. It was about as much fun as the Father Ariandel and Friede phase of the Sister Friede fight from Dark Souls 3.  
Then I went to the Capitol and whooped two bosses in a row.  Each one took maybe 6 hits.
After that I fell off of a tree branch and lost all of my runes. I fell again while trying to retrieve them.

Still haven't crafted a single item.

Go to the field just south of the Warmaster's shack. There are 5 giants you can pop off for 1K each. Pretty good grind.

It will one shot you no matter what if you get caught in it. Run back, run back, dodge forward, run away to avoid it. It’s a heavily telegraphed move post patch.

She really is not that hard once you learn you must be up in her face and constantly stagger her. She was probably my favorite fight in the game.

well got the platinum on ps4 and moving to ps5. looking for ideas on builds since i think im going to patch it today

was thinking either bleed build for fingerprint shield build. i have no intention of pvp so only care about playing solo offline

ETA this game isnt like horizon was. on horizon trophies carried over to ps5 and the ps5 platinum was instant from loading ps4 save.

That looks to be about it.

"FARMING LOCATIONS
Agheel Lake South Site of Grace in Limgrave: 1 Mushroom right next to site of grace.
Village of the Albinaurics Site of Grace in Liurnia: 3 Mushrooms by the tree east of the grace site, then 1 just north of the grace.
Folly on the Lake Site of Grace in Liurnia: From grace, head directly North for 2 Mushrooms, then head West to round the corner of the rock wall in front of you, and start heading North-West until you see 4 mushrooms under a tilted rock spire. (Dismounting off Torrent while running will give you enough height to jump straight back inside the gazebo where the Site of Grace is.)"

Use the cheat I posted. Use poison or rot arrows. Hit him until poisoned or rotted, then let the dot do all the work, while you just sit there not being attacked.
