I died handful of time with this boss but once i learnt the moves it was very easy.

but many forum say this boss is very difficult. is it?

I continued to play after beating the fire giant and quickly realized that I was not ready for the godskin duo, and it took me forever to find out about the volcano manor. Did I miss something or is just the way it is?

I have been using keen uchigatana +25 and a keen nagakiba +25 for most of the game, now I am in the dlc I am using +25 backhand blade with its ash of war.

I just wanted to know what weapons people use to help overpower the dlc bosses as it would be good for my dlc run and any further play throughs on new game plus.

Current talismans rotten winged insignia, Millicent prosthesis, lord of blood exultation and dragon feast great shield.

Incantations are golden vow, flame grant me strength and blood flame blade.

Level 187.

Appreciate any further tips or helpful advice

This is my first soulslike, played through the first couple of times before learning these skills. Started learning parries with Rakshasa and PCR which in hindsight may not have been the easiest starting point. Learning them has helped tremendously and fundamentally changed gameplay for me, plus its satisfying to repost following a good parry or finish off an enemy with a guard counter.

If you are new and dont know about these skills or you dont know how to execute them, I highly recommend learning them. They’re the highest skill level game mechanic (imo), it requires learning timing and can be very high risk if you miss. However, they can be extremely rewarding and trivialize any melee based encounter in the game if you put in the time and effort. Guard countering + deflection tear makes melee exchanges a breeze. Parry shield (buckler) + dagger (misericorde) can be really punishing as well.

so i wanna ask, i played elden ring in 2025 offline and now i wanna play it online, is the pvp and online scene similar to dark souls?

in terms of invasions and summons etc

Is there any way to get the save manager working on the pirated version of the game? The tutorials that I watched use the Steam files. I already bought it on PS5 but want to play the DLC on PC without restarting the game
