@Throb That sounds highly frustrating but you should be fine. You need two great runes to get into Leyndell but if it’s bugged and not given you his, there are enough other main bosses to get them from.
@Thrillho I'm an intelligence build but I'm rocking a fully upgraded moonveil katana, which has bleed and magic damage. My mimic tear and I got him 4th or 5th go.
@Throb Ah, I guess it might be to do with Blaidd and his involvement with the Radahn fight and Ranni. I guess you’d met him before the fight?
@R1spam I was pure dex and using bleed focused weapons. I think my final build was about 45 for health and stamina, 65 for dex, and like 15 for most other stats.
A mixed magic/bleed weapon sounds pretty tasty though!
@R1spam@Thrillho There was a conversation with Blaidd just by the SOG in the Radaha area, after i reloaded the crashed game. I thought he was going to be by the hound evergaol, i read somewhere but he is nowhere to be seen.
There is now a massive hole near Castle Morne!
Can't think of anything good to put here just yet, watch this space...
@Throb It’s hard to know what advice to give you as the storylines for Ranni, Blaidd and the game in general overlap and mix about so much and you may have done some parts or skipped bits entirely depending on what you’ve done so far.
If you’re worried, have a look at their entries on the game’s wiki to see if things are progressing as they should.
@Throb trying not to spoil stuff but that hole is important for the ranni questline! Like Thrillho, I don't want to spoil much but I think war councilor Iji maybe gave me a clue about where to find Blaidd. I think given how much the crash has thrown things, you would be best to quick check a wiki. Oh and would recommend watching a youtube of the end of the Radahn fight so you know why there is that giant hole!!
@Thrillho@R1spam Thanks guys, this is the first From Software game I have actually got in to with it being more accessible. I'm still a bit rubbish and things take me a lot longer to do than the Pros. I'm at level 137 and been playing for over 140 hours, i'm enjoying it immensely but am also very slow

Can anyone attest to whether the issues of the PS5 version have been corrected?
Between ER, HFW, and GT7 - I was waiting on the games getting patched for their respective PS5 issues. For ER, the frame studders. For HFW the shimmer issue on performance mode. And for GT7 the poor balancing that pushed microtransactions.
With the announcement of HFW new PS5 patch, it’s 2/3 so far. So I was wondering if this game has been “fixed” yet.
“We cannot solve our problems with the same thinking we used when we created them.”
@Th3solution it depends what you mean by fixed! If you have a vrr compatible TV, then with the ps5 auto vrr mode on it's a fair bit better. Is it perfect? Hell no, there is still texture pop in, particularly if there are other environmental effects such as snow, mist etc there can be frame dips. It depends on your sensitivity to it but it will never be "fixed". They seem to be happy with weapons balance, boss and npc behaviour (though who knows what the pvp scene will uncover for weapons that might need a minor balance). Is it anything like ds3 or bloodborne performance? No its performance is significantly better. Does the performance get in the way of it being one of the best games ever made, not really. If you liked the demon souls remake, the combat, boss and world design has evolved so much it would be a shame to miss ER for some texture pop in and the odd frame dip (and weird frame pacing if you don't have vrr that is a feature of every from game). If your really sensitive to that, I understand the ps4 version played backwards compatable on ps5 has the least issues there but I haven't tried and can't vouch for it.
I finally admitted defeat and summoned to beat malenia! I got her down to final third of her health bar in second phase a few times with my mimic tear, particularly if you stun lock her but I just couldn't get over the line without help! Even then it took a few goes with some of the folk I summoned getting wiped out first phase. I still think nameless King might be tougher but toughest boss in elden ring so far by a long way.
@Th3solution Personally in the grand scheme of things, the issues are relatively minor. I think they are still there, but I hardly notice it anymore. If you managed to play Bloodborne to completion, I think you will be fine with Elden Ring.
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.
I’m usually not one to allow technical performance to hinder my enjoyment of a game. However the further into the PS5 generation we get the more cracks in the foundation I notice with older games. Having enjoyed Bloodborne a ton (and DeS Remake, but it’s technical performance was fantastic anyways) I’m sure it’s not a deal breaker for this game to have a few odd hiccups. So long as there’s not game crashes or messes with saves.
I’m still quite immersed with a backlog so it’s not imminent that I’ll pull the trigger unless I see the game for a nice sale price. Otherwise I’m content to continue with the games I have lined up. The HFW patch was just what prompted my inquiry, since the two games will probably forever be linked in my mind.
@Th3solution Pop in can be bad but it was never game breaking for me. I had a couple of moments of the game freezing and then catching up again but it was also pretty minor in the grand scheme of things.
