My Boyfriend bet me $500 that I couldn’t beat Elden ring in 6 months with little to no video game experience. Humor

Post image

The rules of the bet:

  1. No magic
  2. Only Melee
  3. No farming for runes
  4. Have to beat the entire game by June, 6th, 2024

I am currently on the last boss of the game with 89 hours played. I hope the last boss doesn’t take me 5 months. 😂

u/Rasbold Jan 12 '24 edited Jan 12 '24

I've seen plenty of people finishing the game, so I'm kinda desensitized to their overall achievements.

So when she said the restrictions of the challenge I couldn't help but think that they're close to useless and would just halt a bit of her progress by making her tackle enemies in melee range and learn to read enemies attack (which is the essence of the game)

I thought "this bf is a bit dumb isn't he?", but I thought more about it and they probably spend a lot of time talking about the game and her experience learning about the places, enemies and lore which would be worth every penny

There're very few things as great as talking about the things you care with the person you care. Getting to Radagon pales in comparison.

u/VagueSomething Jan 12 '24

Is a pretty good rate too. I got my missus curious to gaming by getting her to help me play games, she was basically like my advisor when playing Civilisation. I then brought her a Switch when she had surgery and couldn't do anything for a few months and then slowly taught her to play some games on my Xbox but she insisted on having a custom controller so she didn't have to use my Elite. Between Switch, controllers, games I've easily spent more than 500 but it is so lovely to game together and see her excitement.

One thing I did learn, she struggled with moving joysticks to walk and look so I changed it to inverted and suddenly her brain clicked and she was able to look around while moving. Sensitivity had to be lowered too so she's not spinning too fast.

This is one of those bosses that really surprises me with how many people struggled with her. I didn't have that much trouble with her because she's so easy to stagger.

Jump attacks destroy her. She has that one attack that is tough to dodge that is like a mini-Waterfowl Dance (maybe more similar to Maliketh's attack, on second thought...) but you can literally run up to her and jump or heavy attack and it will cancel her out of it.

Some bosses are legit much harder with other players, boss hits that normally put you to 10% instead 1 shot you.

I did a hard as fuck boss once with 2 other players helping, (one of those tree slug things) and it was legit impossible, then I tried soloing it and it was a joke.

Unless of course that other player is letmesoloher...

u/TwatsThat Jan 12 '24

Even if they're not, the bosses scale for multiplayer when you summon other players but not when you use summon ashes so, even if they're a bit worse than a player that you could summon, you'll likely still be better off.

u/twiceasfun Jan 12 '24

The value of spirit summons to draw aggro and give me a moment to breathe and heal and even mid-fight buff is very nice. But for the majority of the fight, I want the boss looking at me because I have more faith in my ability to dodge than any spirit's ability to tank. Though there could be some super tank summon that I just don't know about because I don't really mess with summoning much at all to begin with

11

u/Ct12341234 Jan 12 '24

Mimic with great stars and the aow prayerful strike can solo most bosses

3

u/twiceasfun Jan 12 '24

Oh I'm sure. I went most of my first playthrough not thinking much of spirit ashes because I didn't even try them. Once I finally did, I discovered that some of them are really really strong. Mimic tear was a champ because I had a bleed build so the extra source of bleed more than offset the increased resistance. And then I kept not using them because I wasn't particularly interested

2

u/Synikul Jan 12 '24 edited Jan 22 '24

When I was 100%ing the game last year, my last playthrough I decided to use summons for the first time. I decided to go with what people considered cheese on release, so I was full Moonveil cannon with a mimic tear that did the same. If this shit is post-nerf, I cannot even imagine what it was like back then. Most bosses second phases were just them groveling on the ground in a stagger animation before they died. And this is in NG+2, I'm sure Mr. Tear could've soloed them in +0.

I'm at the Haligtree for the first time. I just had the idea of combining Shabriri's woe with summoning Latena, and I'm thinking of using it on Malenia when I get there. I guess I ought to try the combo out elsewhere, as well.

Only thing is, I tried the Shabriri's woe + mimic trick with Astel, and it'd still sometimes attack me. In fact, it consistently attacked me on its second tail-swing in its two-tail-smashes attack. Makes me wonder if it loses interest in the mimic tear when the tear is staggered, or something.

2

u/firedancer323 Apr 07 '24

It’ll attack you still if you were the last one to hit it still and if you forget to unequip it on yourself it’s just a wasted talisman spot. Using it with latena works really well too especially against assassins

u/figgiesfrommars Jan 12 '24

yeah, soulsborne doensn't have "traditional" difficulty selection, but it does have summons and "over"-leveling lol

literally nothing wrong with playing the game the way it was made, people just love gatekeeping

3

u/[deleted] Jan 12 '24

ya theyre in the game to make it easier. theres nothing wrong with that, but it isnt bitching to point it out. its pretty obvious the bosses werent designed (maybe duo bosses because they seem very clumsily designed) to deal with two entities at once. even decent summons trivialize most of them to people who have played other souls games.

again.. nothing wrong with having a difficulty option so to speak. love that so many more people were able to enjoy a FS souls game due to it.

maybe next time they'll have summons but make it more of a playstyle than a major self-buff with no real drawback.

u/Azionesan Jan 12 '24

Yeah, reason being easy mode. Fromsoft is pretty good about letting players organically tweak difficulty, you shouldnt treat spirits as anything other than mechanism to lower difficulty.

Playing with spirit summons is still easier than playing with Magic. If anything, melee only helps her with her build as she's not tempted to spread her stats in a poor way.

Which is probably good since it's her first time playing a game.

u/RadishAcceptable5505 Jan 12 '24

Sure. I don't think it's bad to use anything the game gives you (neither do I think it's bad to do challenge runs where you don't use specific things). It's just odd why "no magic" would be a rule of the goal was to make the game harder for her when allowing spirit summons.

6

u/jazzjazzmine Jan 12 '24

Maybe it wasn't about it being harder but about it being, in the bfs opinion, the real way to experience the game?

Aha, that would make more sense, even if it's silly ridiculous. You're probably right. He wanted her to have an experience more similar to his, most likely.

u/Was_Silly Jan 14 '24

For a first time souls run I feel like magic adds too much complexity. I wouldn’t make it a rule not to use it. It’s there, so use it if you want. But I remember my first DS3 run as a Pyro. I abandoned it and gave up on the game for 6 months, it was too hard to put stats in too many things. I built a glass cannon. Came back, did a pure str build, found the biggest hammer I could (I think it was the frosty mace from the bulldog looking boss early in the game. It staggers and deals frost damage) and all was good.

"No magic! It's too easy!"

Allows something far stronger instead

He said no to magic, but he's ok with summons? lmao.

Not allowing magic but allowing you summons is so weird considering it’s so easy to summon some comet Azur enjoyer on a regular basis.

u/rogueranger20 Jan 12 '24

Can you use incantations or are both off limits??

Can you use the mimic?

u/Not_MrNice Jan 12 '24

Then the no magic rule is bullshit. Not because summoning is magic or something, but because magic doesn't make the game as easy as this sub thinks. It's easier to summon with melee than to use magic alone.

In fact, there's plenty of things that are easier with melee instead of magic.

did you fight malenia? she'd the mascot of thr game and is in the intro cinematic, she's a tall lady with a cool helmet that covers her eyes

u/NorthKoala47 Jan 12 '24

In that case he was destined to lose since there's bound to be a 'let me solo her' for every boss so you just have to keep summoning when you lose. Then again, without grinding you will eventually run out of remedies to summon helpers, but if you're just not allowed to farm for runes then you can farm for materials instead.

If you're on Playstation hit me up. I got a group of fellas here who've beaten this game to many times lol. We'd be happy to help

so you got carried?

i hope not

u/Juststandupbro Jan 13 '24

If he wanted to keep his money you would have gotten no summons and no access to google. Although to be fair I’ve googled like crazy, use summons, and am a mage and I still haven’t beat the game.

u/analbac Jan 13 '24

Might as well use magic then. Magic and summons maje the game super easy.

I bought the game in Dec ~22nd and beat it before 2023 ended.

So it took me ~10 days. (<70h accumulated)

I would say it's possible.

u/ShadowDevil123 Jan 13 '24

Some summons can solo most bosses its not even a chellenge. 😭 Hope you enjoyed the game either way.

This was your boyfriend's main mistake.

u/sntamant Jan 13 '24

straight cooked your bf with this bet

u/InkyMonstrosity Jan 15 '24

Kinda surprised by that, given I find that split aggro trivializes bosses far more than magic can ever hope to, save for Comet Azur.

u/cutefeet-cunnysseur Jan 18 '24
