Elden Ring

[Zangetsu]

^^Till what level did you upgrade your character ?

 

[Desmond]

Close to 200 or so, I don't remember. Will have to check.

I am on NG+2. Played the DLC on NG+.

 

[Zangetsu]

Nice. Hours Clocked ?

How many NG+X are available

 

[Desmond]

Nice. Hours Clocked ?

How many NG+X are available

353 hours.

I think there is no limit but I haven't reached too far on the same character. Note that with each NG the enemies get tougher (more HP) but you also get more runes.

Edit: This page lists all the changes in NG+. You may have to scroll down a bit to see it. *eldenring.wiki.fextralife.com/new+game+plus

 

[Zangetsu]

^^Wow 353 hours is Insane

 

[Zangetsu]

Went to East side of the Map with lot of Dragons and is the most difficult area to start with.

 

[Desmond]

Did you get there via Caelid or did you take the shorcut teleporter behind the Third Church of Marika?

 

[Zangetsu]

via Caelid.

Now a days watching lot of videos in Youtube on Elden Ring. My whole history is flooded with Elden Ring
Even the recommendation in youtube

I came to know yesterday there are invisible assassins who will backstab stab you and are impossible to kill.

 

[Desmond]

via Caelid.

There is a hidden shortcut teleporter behind the Third Church of Marika that will also take you there directly.

There is also a teleport trap in a ruin on the Agheel Lake that will teleport you to Caelid.

I came to know yesterday there are invisible assassins who will backstab stab you and are impossible to kill.

You need the Sentry Torch to be able to see them. They are still pretty difficult to kill.

 

[Zangetsu]

How the game calculates the progress completion ? Main Story + Side Missions + Map Exploration ?

I have clocked 65hrs and still it shows 16% completion

 

[Desmond]

Where are you seeing the completion percentage?

 

[Zangetsu]

Where are you seeing the completion percentage?

On PS5.

 

[Desmond]

Oh, you mean the percent of people who completed the game?

Perhaps just see the percent of people who have beat the Soul of cinder boss to see how many players actually beat the game.

As for general progression, IDK how it's calculated. No such percentage on PC.

 

[Zangetsu]

No, in the PS5 Dashboard it shows Elden Ring 16% . When I started it was 0%. But last many hours it is still 16%. So, I was thinking how PS5 is calculating game completion.

I am exploring the places till now completing Catacombs and side quests. Not started the Radahn Festival

There is a small red icon with down arrow below the Stamina Bar. I know there is one when we Hug Fia and have to use a medallion to remove it. But I have used that. and still I see the red icon.

I'm guessing it goes by achievements related to main bosses. In Elden Ring (and other souls games) there are some bosses you have to defeat in order to progress the game. Perhaps you have not defeated any plot relevant bosses yet which is why it's stuck at 16%.

Radahn is a main boss. You have to defeat him to get access to Nokron and progress the game.

There is a small red icon with down arrow below the Stamina Bar. I know there is one when we Hug Fia and have to use a medallion to remove it. But I have used that. and still I see the red icon.

Check your inventory again and see if you still have the Baldachin's Blessing you got from Fia. If it's not there, then try restarting (quit to menu and reload) the game or resting at a grace.

I have used that blessing already twice but it is still there. I will check again in my inventory. Right now I am trying to complete the side-quest as some characters side quest can be skipped if they are killed or I move ahead far in Story

 

[Desmond]

What talismans do you have equipped? Perhaps one of those is debuffing your health.

Golden Scarab + Shuffle between Green Turtle or Twinblade Talisman

 

[Desmond]

Perhaps some other item then. There are some armors or weapons that can reduce your HP when equipped.

Go here and search about "HP": *eldenring.wiki.fextralife.com/Equipment+with+Special+Effects

 

[Zangetsu]

Finally found the HP de-buff reason. I was using Twinsage Glintstone Crown which gives Intelligence but depletes Stamina & HP.

Defeated Radahn in 3 tries, was fairly easy compared to other Boss fights. Thanks to the NPC summons.

Now in Lyndell Royal Capital.

If I focus on increasing the Dexterity attribute will that also increase the dodge distance ?

currently I am focusing on Strength + Endurance (so that I have more stamina and heavy load tolerance)
