    New game plus is honestly a joke in this game. I still play it because I love the game but with the right build at 150 you just delete every boss instantly. I started ng+2 tonight before bed and did margit + Godrick no hit in under 5 minutes.

    • @GrubMagnet
      @GrubMagnet  6 месяцев назад +1

      I think the problem is many of us end the first playthrough overpowered. Each new run through only ups the difficulty a little in terms of hit points required. And of course you need far more hit points to defeat the Elden Beast than you do to beat the earlier bosses. The other problem though is the earlier zones don't offer much runes, so you can't even say set the start bosses 30 levels above your NG+ start point as 30 levels at level 150 is a lot of grinding that's not really possible in the earlier zones. Perhaps they should set them at the same level as you complete the game. Thanks for the thoughts!

    In general do you find ng+ you’re just kind of hitting the high points like bosses rather than meticulously exploring as in a typical first game? I’m on my first game, just beat Morgott, starting to think about if I wanna do ng+ when I beat it or move to another game instead

    • @GrubMagnet
      @GrubMagnet  9 месяцев назад +2

      Elden Ring has several story arcs you can explore. So next time you go through you can have a look at one of these. The ending changes slightly depending on which arc you follow. A lot of players just enjoy the grind mechanic. Another point about NG+ is you can get a second version of whatever weapon you like. This then opens up dual wielding of that weapon. But if none of that interests, have a look at another game. I'm all for that as I think variety is great to have. The Witcher 3 is amazing if you've not played that. Or for another Fromsoft title, take a look at Bloodborne. I played the first bit here: ruclips.net/video/8nvui5ay1PQ/видео.html

      No idea how it'll work as I can't see any concrete details on the release yet. Some developers make things that require high level, some not, so it could go either way.

    • @GrubMagnet
      @GrubMagnet  3 месяца назад +1

      I don't think it's possible to explore all quest lines in one playthrough so that's the main reason to play again and also collect weapons you may have missed. You can also get two of the same special weapon and dual wield them. NG+ also gives you more runes per kill and the difficulty goes up slightly. Somber Ancient Dragon Smithing Stones are limited in each playthrough so NG+ also means you can power up other weapons. And have you done the new Shadow of the Erdtree DLC? If none of that appeals, time to find a new game to play.

    I feel like the amount of runes is the only thing NG+ really has.. everything has been so easy for a NG+.. it's not as though I won't go after the elden beast agian, I'm just pretty sure elden ring is the worst NG+ that fromsoft has done.. I feel even dark souls 1 has a better NG+.. you say it's harder but honestly I walked through every boss so far like it got hit by nerfs instead of buffs... runes are better, everything else gets easier honestly. A full on laugh of a NG+... honestly it's so bad I'm thinking of making a lvl1 and use fist weapons or something just to make it worth it in NG+.. because if I don't upgrade anything maybe NG+ will be fun and not just like taking cake from a dead guy... no challenge at all.. hell I tend to jump off the map just to say something killed me(knowing damn well nothing can kill me... witch is dumb) than I just leave the like 30mill runes and jump off another edge to create some sort if challenge for myself witch lasts about 5 seconds than I go on with the easy mode NG+ that I expected to be anything more than it is

    • @GrubMagnet
      @GrubMagnet  2 года назад

      It depends what level you completed your first game playthrough on as to how challenging enemies will feel. NG+ can be repeated multiple times and gets a bit harder each time. Elden Ring is damn frustrating not having a level indicator for enemies. Certainly Limgrave is going to be a doddle for your character by end of game because you’re likely 150+ at that point so even if those enemies are 5x more levels, your level is still much higher. Hopefully latter bosses will be a bit harder for you.

      Not the first to have said that to me. I can't really comment as I haven't played the other titles. I did try Dark Souls but it seems so clunky compared to Elden Ring. I need to play it more, but have been very busy with FIFA 23 content lately.

      Ha! He's from UK, so similar. He's got a regional accent I can't quite figure out. A touch different to me but yeah I can hear we're similar. Thanks for sharing!

      The vid? I can't recall. Made this a long time back.

    You should maybe consider cutting out the mouth smack noises dude, they’re really noticeable because they’re happening every 30 seconds, anyways thanks for the video….

      Thanks for the feedback. Just checked the first 3 minutes and only noticed 1. Seems OK to me and haven't had anyone else say that. This said, my mic nowadays is better so hopefully less of an issue on newer content.

    No it's not worth it. For those with memory difficulties, you may be able to stomach the entirety of the first playthrough.

      NG+ is an interesting one. Lots of people like the repetition system in games because we know what's coming. But in the case of Elden Ring, it is indeed easy to forget the many random locations of things! Thanks for commenting.

    How did you use sword and incantations at same time?

    • @GrubMagnet

      Level up attributes for both areas. Equip seal in one hand and sword in the other and have fun. I love the confessor class for this style of build. A good mix of melee and magic.
