    • @tubetorpedo
      @tubetorpedo 2 года назад +14

      ​@@mistamethylbrot2187 It's how you use and position her. She is either the best or worst summon depending the fight and your own role in it. If you use yourself to draw agro away from her she usually works great; e.g. with Astel positioning her to near the wall usually works great, but naturally you have to keep Astel busy by yourself and not let it focus on Latenna. Same with several dragons like Borealis.
      She is not the summon you use to distract the boss from you, it's opposite. You keep boss busy and she keeps chipping away it's health, but you have to pull your part. You can use her as distraction but best use you get if she stays alive. And naturally best bosses for her are usually those who got big arenas.

    Every time I watch this it hits me it the feels. People who say this game has no narrative or a poor one just didn’t play it. You build your own narrative, and interacting with each player builds theirs. Together you each make a unique journey through the lands between that doesn’t feel like you’re playing a scripted character, but like your playing as your own person. You get to experience it, which is something very few games are able to do.

      it really hit me at the end when the roundtable members start vanishing. at the beginning you have all these people who are there to help and guide you as the tarnished. but as time goes on depending on what you've done or havent done ppl will be gone. nepheli has a chance for a good ending with becoming the lady of limgrave. but if you didnt do her quest she's dead. D, is dead after the dagger is given to him, diallos dies trying to protect jars and failing in the end, the brother/priest guy ends up going insane, fia dies at the hands of D's brother. Dung Eater dies at the hands of the tarnished, same with gideon, Hewg loses his memories, Enia basically goes silent, and Rodericka sticks around only to be near hewg.

      The games doesn't explain shit to you, it doesn't make sense, that's why all these youtubers, redditors etc have to discuss and essentially make up the story of the game as they've done for all Fromsoft Games since a motherfudging decade ago.

    It was cool how confident he was against dragons.
    When I started playing this game, even Godric's Knight was difficult to beat. I felt that this game was too difficult.
    However, little by little, I felt that I was getting better than before, and I did not give up.
    I thought about the last boss right in front of me.
    I had a hard time beating Godric's knight, but now the moment I tried to fight the final boss felt funny.
    My experience in the Elden Ring was extraordinary. It felt like writing a heroic story rather than reading it.
    For me, Elden Ring will continue to be the best game ever.
    Please excuse the awkward sentence using a translator.

      Yeah once you get to New game plus it'll feel satisfying since you'll breeze past every enemy like they're Nothing

    Thanks for making this. I am actually more attached to your version of protagonist than the actual game's player character. I love how confident and determined he is fighting that dragon. He had come a long way. Proud moment.
