Yeh guys I have same issue, real supply-chain block with the old smithing stones...!
Good luck re-building though, interested to hear how you guys get on with new weaponry etc
@CJD87
Done the Radahn cave. Was really cool. Thank you I would have missed it. Good farming spot too.
That boss is the 3rd time I met it. In stone sword key area at the first grace of the game. Then in Stormveil Castle basement and now but this time with Scarlet rot was even stronger. (But so was I)š
The crowd, accepting this immediately, assumed the anti-Eurasian posters and banners everywhere were the result of acts of sabotage by agents of Goldstein and ripped them from the walls.
@JJ2 Decent man! I actually thought the boss was a breeze in that Radahn cave, but the lead-up enemies were brutal!! Let me know where you head next.... I'm currently re-speccing, re-grouping and levelling up a bit before taking on the Capitol
Been a while since Iāve felt this way about a game but I have no idea what to play next. Everything I try I canāt be bothered with because it doesnāt stack up at all to Elden Ring. Even games I was already in the middle of arenāt really interesting me.
@render Iām definitely fast travelling now! The game is just too big and there is a lot jumping around to do. It was a nice thought, anyway š
@velio84@CJD87@renderI found a cave in the north east of Liurnia Lake in which the boss there drops a smithing stone(1) bell bearing. It only helps with the first three upgrades of course, but itās a start!

@nessisonett If its the sense of exploration and discovery your jonesing for and you have gamepass, maybe try Tunic? I've played the first couple of hours and it seems like a chill companion to elden ring but still has cool sense of discovery.
@CJD87
Iāve then finally done the three npc enemy summons North of Deep Siofra well in front of giant pot man. Wasnāt easy. Got probably the best talisman in the game in my opinion (unless there s another same +2) vastly increases equip load šš»
Currently doing Volcano manor.

So I re-speced to be able to fully utilise the Moonlight great sword and managed to beat the 2 gargoyles as well as the boss in the bottom of the Divine Tower in Caelid (both with ash summons though to somewhat distract the bosses). It's quite clunky to use and slow, and I'm not used to such playstyle but think I'll stick with it instead of re-specing to a totally different build - I'll do a new build in a new save file at some point.
Iām using the DMGS too, itās really strong. I have 70 int now and melee hits like a truck. The charged r2 is really nice from range, staggers well. Just donāt forget to get 40 vigor too.
Defeated Rennala last night. That was interesting. Especially when she started turning her 'children' into graves and throwing them at you. š¬ Didn't find it too difficult, a couple goes to get her into her phase 2 then first time on that one.
Not respecced yet as I've not got any of those tears yet or a weapon that I feel to do that for.
Life is more fun when you help people succeed, instead of wishing them to fail.
Better to remain silent and be thought a fool than to speak and remove all doubt.
@LN78 Itās a hard one but one of the best fights in the game. Only advice I can give is play it safe. Wait for the AOE attacks to finish, get a couple hits in and get out of there. Maybe try keeping your distance to bait out his easier to avoid attacks too.
@nessisonett Thanks for the advice. I've put it down for the evening now. It's finding the window for an attack during his frenzied second phase that's twisting my melon.
Well I've had to look up a guide as it's clear there's something up with my npcs. I found my way to a tower at Caria Manor after beating a ghost knight and half beating a dragon that flew away and it was clear from the messages there should have been an npc at the top. I have no idea what I did but I atoned at the church of vows and afterwards voilĆ , they appeared. To my knowledge I haven't aggroed any npcs so God knows what happened. I'm just glad it's fixed! I'm thinking I might have to retrace my steps as god knows what I've missed!
@LN78 Smart move to put it down before it gets too frustrating. If it makes you feel any better, I was stuck on Radahn for a good couple of days - and it is/was genuinely the largest challenge I have had to overcome by a long shot.
Looking back, and certainly since I have now re-specced, my build wasn't helping me either... and when I actually managed to land hits on him, my damage was massively lacking!
Soon you will be able to reliably get to 2nd phase everytime, but this was what kept wrecking me...
One piece of advice - I actually think it is better to 'drag out' phase 1 so he can kill most of your NPC summons when he is approaching half-health. Then in his last stages of phase 1, I'd advise you try and re-summon all/most of the NPCs so that they return at full health for his return phase 2. A team of full-health NPCs at the start of phase 2 is great, as they can take the aggro and allow you to melt him!
(I only found out a few fights in that you can re-summon the NPCs! So just try to be strategic in when you bring them back, ideally just before phase 2) Good luck man!
@CJD87 I appreciate the tips but I'm actually roadblocked on Radagon a little further on in the game. At about half health he goes totally nuts with AoE and projectile attacks which is an absolute nightmare because I'm running a strength/dex melee build and getting near him without taking significant damage is extremely difficult. As Ness suggested, a patient slash and dash approach is probably what's needed - I'll just need to figure out his tells and timings a little better first!
@LN78 ah sorry mate, totally misread the boss name! Radagan sounds intense also, a friend of mine is currently banging his head against a wall regarding this boss.
Just shy of 67 hours played, level 119 and that's a wrap on my first (traditional quality build/sword and board) "Elden Ring" playthrough. I got the "Elden Lord" ending. Hated the final form of the last boss. What a fantastic game - if anything beats it for my GOTY I'll be very surprised. I'll play it through again later in the year with an exhaustive guide and a completely different build but for now it's onto something far more chill and lo-fi for a bit - I'm thinking either "Tunic" or "Disco Elysium".
Well, I took a day yesterday and battered Elden Ring. I'm now at the point where I've beaten every trophy boss and plenty you don't get trophies for. The only thing I have left to do is collect all of the things - the legendary arms etc. - and then finish the game and I got the platinum in this bad boy.
