Absolutely tragic that I have exams to prepare for and can't insta go into the DLC. And I have to avoid spoilers. At least I can still have this on the background.
holy fucking shit that was the most intense dual tree sentinel kill I've ever seen, I never fight those without cheese or being over-levelled (which TBF you kinda are), super impressive.
Yeah I had memorized their entire moveset the first hour i played the game so it wasnt too tough. But yeah I am MAD overlevelled. I just wish there was like, a better designed "order of areas" in terms of level scaling that you could just tell from the game itself. Again, I kept getting oneshot in Caelid, Dragonbarrow and then Nekron(and the are connected to it that I don't remember) so I thought I was UNDER levelled which lead to me powerfarming.
Alright thoughts: Peak, peak, PEAK! Very astute to stop your trip in Mohgwyn prematurely, though I'll be honest, you could probably cook the boss there at this point. Overlevelling was a bit unfortunate, Morgott is actually one of the best bosses in the game if you let him live long enough to show off his phase 2 moves. Don't worry though, mountaintops has plenty of good bosses and access to Malenia, through ANOTHER hidden area. The main boss there though, absolute garbage and I hate him. Main boss after that though... like Morgott, really good if you don't one shot them. Little lore tidbit- the first two Margits and the Golden Godfrey were just apparitions summoned by Morgott, similar to his golden weapons. When Morgott enters phase 2, what's essentially happening is that he's so hilariously racist, that the Erdtree changes his race, literally purifying his blood- hence the geysers of yellow omen blood and the bloodflame (same as your bloodflame blade)- though that more likely comes from the Formless Mother, who... spoiler-ish. If you're worried that golden godfrey was a bit disappointing for the 'first elden lord,' sure. But don't worry, he makes a 'comeback.'
It's very sad to see how a crazy, exciting, unusual adventure turned into a dull meat grinder. I know that I can't blame Rhoku for this entirely. He probably took the advice to use the "openness" of the world too literally. And he trapped himself by reading quest guides on the Internet. The thing is that serious quest lines of Elden Ring are stretched out in time. It is normal to start a quest at level 20 and return to complete it at level 90. And if some stage of the quest is difficult, you don't need to farm a lot to complete it. Just give yourself some time. You will become stronger going through the main quest. Then you will return and get a balanced fight. This is how the game works. In any other case, you deprive yourself of the main reason why people play souls games - the emotions of victory on the edge of possibilities. The fight with the Knight in Limgrave was awesome, the fight with the gargoyles was fantastic. The fight with Magrid was also pretty good. The fight with Radan is quite debatable, but damn, playing it for the first time you NEED to call allies. It looks REALLY nice when you fight together against such a giant. But the fight with Renalla is just a failure. Then just a one-shot of the Dragon guard Knight and the boss of the Capital. Bro, what the hell? This is not what I expected from a player who literally started to destroy everyone from the start of the game! Level 125? Come on! Why? Why? This is already enough to destroy the final boss without a chance, and there is still half the game to go. And yes. I hate the bleeding build. This is the most broken crap in the history of video games. I hate it as much as Rhoku hates mages))) I still support the Elden walkthrough, but I will say honestly - now it's just boring. Even without intentional farming, I estimate that Rhoku will be around level 150-160 when he meets Malenia. And with his weapon, it will be an easy win on 7-10 tries, because he is a pretty good video game player. Sorry for the long text, I didn't have time to watch the latest videos on time, so I have accumulated a lot to say.
Yeah. I've said this a few times but I get the whole "if you can't proceed, go somewhere else" thing. The main issue was I literally had no idea where to even go so it just felt like I had to brute force through it all. Like you need to be glued to a guide.
He has transcended, Darius is not longer needed.

There is one more video after this one after which I will be making a detour into the DLC. I hope it rocks!
Did I miss a Darius themed ER build?
