Future Press are publishing a pair of beautiful official hardback strategy/lore guides for the game later in the year. They look absolutely great but they sure ain't cheap!

@LN78 And those kind of things usually only go up in price, especially if they stop being printed.

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.

@JohnnyShoulder I noticed a few of those old Prima guides going for silly money at a collector's fair recently so you're probably right, but $100 a pop is still steep.

@LN78 I really wish I got the Dark Souls 3 Art Works, as it goes for over 200 quid when it retailed at about 50 on release.

Well I finally become elden lord!! Shamelessly plugged 3 endings from one playthrough for the platinum trophy. That last boss is pretty tough, not going to lie! The game isn't without fault (some of the dungeons and reuse of boss types got a little samey). Nonetheless, it's possibly the best open world game I've played. The breadth of what's on offer, the sense of discovery that's maintained throughout the whole game and the variety of combat tools at your disposal are truly outstanding. I'm going to watch a couple of lore videos and figure out what I've been playing for the last 100 hrs!

@Gremio108 Wow, 200hrs make my 130 or so hours seem almost pathetic in comparison

And @R1spam has flown through it in 100 hrs! Congrats on beating the game and getting that shiny plat.

@Thrillho I just got over 300 hours the other day! 😬

@Thrillho @R1spam I'm not even intending to go for the platinum! 😂

@Thrillho The thing is, I could probably do another 100 hours quite happily...

Good job, Parappa. You can go on to the next stage now.

@Gremio108 That's me! It's getting to stage when I will need to start going to weekly Elden Ring Anonymous meetings soon.

I just got to Malenia. After the third attempt I killed her, i was so relieved but then she grew bloody wings and one shotted me...

Can't think of anything good to put here just yet, watch this space...

I ordered both at a reasonable price at Bookdepository. My first gaming guides, too – I am seriously obsessed with this game, ngl. (200+ hrs playthrough, dark moon-ending)

The tip that helped me was, roll toward/under as she winds up that AoE plague burst. go-go-go!

Malenia - RIP! Holy moly, I had to summon help in the end, there was no way I could do that on my own...

Also, if I finish Elden Ring and go back to previous FS games like Demon's Souls, will i get on with it better? I found Elden Ring really accessible

@Throb I was in the same boat for malenia. With mimic tear, I could reliably get to the second phase but too much for me solo. I love bloodborne, it's nowhere near as hard as people make out, particularly second half. I wonder if there will be a remake one day though. To be honest half way through elden ring, I sold my copy of demon souls remake. For me, so much of these games is how they mechanically feel rather than the underlying story etc. I can't see me going back. If it was the exploration you've been digging in elden ring, maybe keep an eye out for tunic when it comes to ps5?
