Everything I want to see in Shadow of the Erdtree 

The summoning system needs to be fixed, players can be using end game gear but can still be summoned by players who just got past the tutorial. It causes a lot of problems in the PVP.

I would love to have a modicum of re-playable content in this game, besides ng+, because I enjoy it so much, but there’s just no incentive to keep playing for me. So the idea I have come up with solves that issue, but also makes use of items such as Glistening Sacred Tears and Sacred Golden Seeds, (advanced Golden Seeds and Sacred Tears) which have no use after your first play through or whenever you fully upgraded your flasks. The re-playable content that I am calling "Trial of The Elden Lord” would be unlocked after completing the game and it’s DLC, it would be entered by speaking with the "Envoy of The Greater Will” and selecting which difficulty you want it to be set as (more on that below) The Envoy also serves as a vendor for this activity. I will talk more of what’s offered from them later on. Other things I’d want in the game before getting into my idea - 1 - I would want a "looking for group” or some type of matchmaking system to be implemented into the game because this mode would be the hardest content offered in the game and I most people wouldn’t even consider trying to solo it after attempting their first time. 2 - There would be a floor counter displayed on the top right of the screen, and a timer displayed right above it. 3 - I would want there to be different difficulty tiers of the activity to be in the game. For example There would be a - Tarnished Lord Elden Lord These are different in that they scale in difficulty and amount of enemies/hazards on each floor. However, the higher the tier, the more Sacred Golden Seeds you receive after floor completions and the better the loot contained within chests is. MY IDEA ------ My idea is for FS to implement a 100 floor boss rush/exploration area set inside the Erdtree, featuring unique puzzles and items to be obtained between each floor, the 100th floor would be an unforgettable experience that would have the player(s) take on five bosses on a circular platform of golden light, on top of the Erdtree Overlooking all of the lands. The bosses would be golden apparitions of the main demigods that you fight in the base game, but after beating those five you are allowed to challenge an Outer God. I would consider the Outer God to be a "super boss" with multiple health bars and phases, and mechanics tied to the fight giving the player something to practice and master overtime. This boss would be similar to a raid/trial boss from an mmo, such as FF14. For the 99 floors below the 100th, The floors would consist of a boss that has a unique mechanic tied to them and smaller enemy units that try to overwhelm/distract the player. After completing a floor you will receive an appropriate amount of runes based on the floor you’re on and a Scared Golden Seed. Sacred Golden Seeds will serve as a currency used at The Envoy, with Golden Seeds you can purchase Larval Tears, New cracked tears, New talismans, more talisman pouches(up to 4 additional ones), powerful armor and weaponry that are aesthetically pleasing, and other items such as saddles for torrent. Another currency that would be used to purchase items from The Envoy would be Glistening Sacred Tears, These Tears would be found throughout the traversal sections between floors, hidden in plain sight or behind doors barricaded by a golden seal only opened by completing a puzzle or some kind of challenge. I want the layers of the Erdtree to serve as more than just arenas where boss fights take place, so exploration would be encouraged by paths of golden light that go off the main path leading to the next floor. Oh and of course the average player might run out of flasks or other consumables during their fights against the champions of the Erdtree, so every ten floors that you conquer you will be given access to a site of grace which is where you can refill your flasks, and also where you can decide to return to the base of the Erdtree and exit, if you desire to. I would want this content to be extremely unforgiving and challenging, giving it a sense of insurmountableness for players that are not confident in their ability’s, and something for veteran/skilled players to brag about after completing. The whole point of this content though is to add a re-playable activity to Elden Ring and I feel like if they added it in the way I described and updated the meta frequently to make the game feel fresh every few months, then it would be regarded as some of the best content implemented in any FS game to date.

Gravity Sorceries that actually mess with gravity would be cool :P

I think player cap raised to 6 would be awesome, same with dyes being available for armour, similar to the Blood and Wine expansion for Witcher 3. A dense forest level like the swamp in DS3 would be epic, and a huge boss encounter, more along the lines of the one I saw for Armoured Core. That was ridiculously big. Those are a few off the top of my head.

I would like the same changes made by the mod seamless coop,being able to play the game and explore with a friend without loosing our magical cows and being able to enter the dungeons directly while multiplayer

It's been 2 years already so let's hope they deliver :)

entitled gamers🙃

​@@keeganbrakhage7835how is it entitled to want a DLC for a game that is free so highly made by a Dev studio that's known to release at least one DLC for every game they make??? He wasn't bashing them for not making a DLC for it he was just stating his hope like a civil adult. Stay butthurt like the miserable little boy you are though lmfao🤣👍💯.... For the record I've never even played Shakira either because I'm not very good with the parrying mechanics in dark souls best believe I'm going to call out blatant childish stupidity when it's called for, as well as call out dumb kids that just hate because they disagree when the logical response would be to ask a question then debate on the topic.

@@keeganbrakhage7835lmao it’s not entitlement every souls game usually gets a dlc sekiro is the first one not to get one im pretty sure

I mean lorewise he’s literally a god femboy so I doubt he’ll stay an old man 😭😭

​@@rafaelz6211he is not a femboy he does not age he is basically in a child body

@@abduzugar7816I think he means st Trina

@@rafaelz6211more like a twink god, but yeah.

Wait I’ve been out of the lore game for a bit, MIQUELLA IS MORGOTT??

It's not that I don't like him, but the moveset loses its charm when every attack is delayed, I would personally enjoy the fight more if there was more variety to the rythm.

​@@Brollo_ nameless king does the same thing though

I agree with you, Mohg is one of the few bosses that doesn't suck to fight, imo. His delays mostly make sense. But I agree with the video too. All the other bosses just aren't fun to fight, they feel unfair at worst, overturned at best. I am not looking forward to the bosses in the Elden Ring DLC.

@@jdrakefrederick none of the bosses are overtuned or unfair and either way, with the DLC it will be much easier to balance, and fromsoft can learn from player feedback and improve

@@jdrakefrederick i started with elden ring so i think i instantly lernt to deal with those sort of things. I actually completly disagree with mogh being one of the only bearable bosses. I think radagon,malenia,malekith,mogh,morgott and godfrey are exellent(fun to fight). Bosses like plasidusax and rykard are also very good. I think comming from somewhere to elden ring can worsen the expierence, where I had much fun going back to the old games.

what do you mean by THIS!?

well melina is a litle dead and burned soooooo........

This community loves to repeat the same points without actually examining those points. I've been arguing with people for like a fucking decade about how O&S is NOT some perfect boss fight like people pretend. It is honestly just about as bad as Godskin Duo. To be clear, I don't have strong feelings towards either, I usually don't have trouble getting past either one. But I swear to god the people that talk about O&S the most haven't even played Ds1

Miquella is such a sweet character, It would destroy me to see him as a deformed monster.

the reason why host usually die first low vigor

true story@@SevinPounds

the best idea i see

This sounds really good. They could even make it roguelike. Many games got a roguelike mode in the past few years and it can work so well. AC Valhalla has Nilfheim, GOW Ragnarok has Valhalla and even Ghostwire Tokyo got the 30 floor Spider's Thread.

I like the contrast idea and Abundance would make for a very nice theme but Decay is already extremely present in the base game with Caelid, Deeproot, Lake of Rot and the area around Moghwyn Palace so I doubt it would stand out much

Malenias tutor was the blind swordsman, who was blessed by the blue dancer who is probably a fairy which Ainsel and siofra are named after

@@Lerbon_Janes I think Malenia is the blind swordsman and her tutor was the fairy. Far as I'm aware the tutor isn't referred to as being blind, but Malenia is obviously a blind swordsman. "The dancer in blue represents a fairy who in legend bestowed a flowing sword upon a blind swordsman" - implies that any reference to a blue dancer is referring to the fairy, not the blind swordsman. He bestowed his flowing sword style (i.e waterfowl dance), not a literal blade. Makes sense that a dancer would teach a dance. The Prosthesis heirloom states that her tutor had a flowing blade and helped her to control her rot. And so "Blade in hand, the swordsman sealed away an ancient god - a god that was Rot itself." Her sword is called "hand of Malenia" her blade is literally in her hand and she seals away the ancient god of rot that resides within herself. Well, until she removes the seal and becomes the "goddess of rot" In her second phase.

Malenia's tutor/mentor is the blind swordsman. The fairy is the one who gifted him the flowing sword to seal the god of rot

@@nebky malenias tutor is the one who wielded the flowing swords you get from the consecrated snowfield cavalry carriage, and he was from the same clan as the warriors, he was blessed by the blue fairy to seal away the god of rot, which could be physically through defeat and imprisonment, or by changing the course of rot rivers to circle back around to the lake of rot

@@Lerbon_Janes yeah I disagree. There's nothing in the lore that says her tutor was the blind swordsman. We know there's a blue dancer fairy, who has flowing swords and bestowed that upon a blind swordsman. We know Malenia, a blind swordsman, was taught by a blue dancer with flowing swords. We know the blind swordsman sealed away the god of rot and we know Malenia (through the tutorship of the blue dancer) has sealed the goddess of rot within herself. Not sure why everyone thinks there needs to be a third character when there's no mention of one.

There are three different movement types Souls bosses have. Positional movement: you can see this in speedrun and nohit runs, bosess will queu attacks based on your positions. Healing Punish: Bosses will interrupt your healing, there are multiple bosses throughout all Fromsoftware games that will punish you for healing. I talked about this on one of my earlier videos Isshin's heal punishment is the most fair read among all the bosses, you will have enough time to block Isshin's heal punishments as lons as you hold deflect right when the healing animation ends. Lastly there is input read: bosses will dodge your attacks, they will queu certain attacks based on your input to lock you in animation and make it impossible to dodge. In earlier builds of Elden Ring you could cheese Runebears to see the input read, even after sneaking up to them completely unnoticed they would do an instant 180 turn as soon as your attack started and they would hit you while you are stuck in the attack animation.

​@@Brollo_I have put over 1000 hours into Elden Ring and I've never encountered the input reading that you describe here, only positioning based attacks and heal punishes. Frankly I don't believe the input reading you describe exists.

yeah, I also think Placidusax is the best dragon fight that is both challenging and a spectacle to see too. All his attacks are fair, he well telegraphs his attacks, his lightning slam mutes the music which is a very helpful indicator to run away from the area. He teleports to close distance, making you not running to him as much.

Yeh Placidusax is a goated dragon fight, 2nd best in the series in my opinion after Midir. Its down to preference really. Both are very spectacle focused fights, Midir does feel much more intense and engaging, just down to the fact that Placidusax does have a lot of time where he's stationary or even staggered.

Midir, the most overrated boss of all time.

yeah no idea what this take was, delayed attacks are fine. You just learn the timing like any other attack, it only punishes you if you panic roll.

Wait ds3 magic did any damage?

hard disagree about ds3.

Right now I am trying to get 100% map completion on my side PvE character, there is a premium app called MapGenie: Elden Ring which helps a lot. You can check the locations of everything, mark them discovered, take notes, track quests with built-in guides and some more useful stuff but free version is lacking most of the features.

Not the best method for what you’re asking for, but if you haven’t beaten the boss of say a miners cave dungeon then it doesn’t allow you to teleport out from any part of said cave. Obviously once the boss is beaten you can run around anywhere in the dungeon and teleport freely. It does require you to check each dungeon in person, but that’s the best way to do it without tracking them all yourself from day 1.

I’ve seen a couple people in the comments say this, where is this info from?

It isn't really optimized, I quickly put something together for video. 14 Faith 45 Dex/Arcane 27 Endurance, RL 137. But I was using a +5 weapon in the video so you can push the damage even further.

The recommendation is to make a new character playthrough or NG+. Maybe stopping the journey before Fire Giant.

@@MsJohnnyMetal problem is my next NG+ would be NG+4 wouldn’t it be extremely difficult to finish the dlc even if I’m level 300

All the previous fromsoftware dlcs gave you access to dlcs even after completing the game, so you don't need to restart or go to ng+

Input reading makes it much easier to cheese bosses. You can control what will they do next.

Not the bosses, but some enemies have it in order to make the attacks even faster. Dual Wielding Banished Knight in Castle Sol is an example to this, between his stomp during the frost attack and the actual jump there are sped up or cut frames so you can't really see the exact moment it finished the first part of the animation and transitions to the second part. It's quite unique and a different approach, but I'd love to see a more organic difficulty.

In Dark Souls 3 bosses punish you for drinking Estus, there isn't a single boss in all Dark Souls games that reads input like ER bosses, you can confirm it by spending 5 minutes and watching the Elden Ring's documentary about their game design. "It's almost like trying to compare boss balance in a linear smaller game to an massive open world" Bigger scale doesn't justify worse quality, especially when there's 6 years gap between these games, your idea of open world vs linear would only work if they these games belonged to different franchise and developed by different people in the same year. It is in fact stupid to criticize someone for pointing out the lacking parts of a game, don't do a multi-million dollar company's PR for free.

@@SonicWeasel Balencing a game where you have way more levels by the end is way harder then a shorter game. What Elden ring boss imput reads could you give an example

After resurrecting a boss area needs to be reset otherwise fogwall is not interactable.

@@simonealcazar816 they're not undodgable and it's something i agree with. It's just frustrating that it doesn't intuitively teach you positioning for each combo. The problem imo is that follow up attacks are way too quick which makes dodge timing awkward and again, makes learning positioning frustrating for the majority of bosses. At least with the more difficult bosses in DS3, they were fast but you could still dodge every hit in their combos and learn positioning for each attack by judging the direction of the attack. I enjoy fighting Elden Ring bosses but their attacks makes things frustrating and makes the game feel clunky when you can barely dodge their attacks and have to run out of some of them.

Oohhhhh be careful. Don’t disagree with him. He’ll shadow ban you like me. He’s shadow banned anyone that calls him out on his lack of information and spreading lies. Can’t disprove? Censor it. Careful friend…

It feels repetitive, fight looks amazing and I said in one of my previous videos Plasidusax is the most cinematic and epic dragon boss across all Souls games for me but he either does a breath attack or a claw attack the fact that he can't really move around other than teleport makes his fight a bit too static, that is why I prefer Midir over Plasidusax even though the moveset variety is pretty much the same between the two.

Here’s a thought, if something is OP in PVE, just don’t use it! Wow! What a concept!
