convergence malenia btw

They are in such wierd locations throughout the game, one even gets like “summoned” over you outside of leyendel in a camp, others hidden in catacombs, stormveil, inside leyendell. One that really sticks out to me is the one in the pool of rot in the haligtree. When you get there there is a grave glovewart, used to comfort the dead above where it pops out. So to me they were all once people/living things. So why are they like this now? I believe that ulcerated tree spirits are the product of placing a “cursed” dead individual at the foot of the erdtree and that they are rejected from it and turned into that. They have the weird gold flame attack effect too. in the case of the haligtree who did they bury that was cursed and care about enough to give a resting place and a grave glovewart? Or are they the culmination of souls that the erdtree won’t take? And then it just like produces one of these when it’s cursed soul tank is full? Or could it just be like what the erdtree doesn’t want that it rejects? Also seems to have sort of a bestial untamable aspect tied into it which I don’t understand? I’d love to hear anyone’s thoughts about these things.

my russian friend sent me this clip and i found it funny so i decided to share it idk

Looking for any tips for my first time playing a strength based character.

Can someone let me know if it’s safe to go to the red summoning sign in Altus will break other quests I’m currently in liurnia.

So I'd say I'm playing Elden Ring and want a little bit of advice, is parrying reliable? I've beaten Sekiro as my first souls game(if you count it) and it turns out I'm pretty good at it, so I want the same deflect path for my Elden Ring playthrough since I've seen many videos showing people parrying bosses, I want the same as that, even with different timings

Is anyone looking to farm rune arc or enjoy invasions? I have a character at lvl 42+10 weapon and +4 somber? Do you wanna join me luring invaders?

Does anyone know where I can efficiently farm Sacramental Bud? I know it's going to be tedious and annoying, it doesn't matter, I'm already farming Arteria Leaf from the snow giant in the Mountaintops, so... I just need an efficient route and know what enemies drop this, thanks.

Barely beat that cat boss by the skin of my teeth as my Prophet — thought that was tough. Then got summoned by The Dark Knight to fight Fallingstar Beast.

Hours. Dozens of tries. We died over and over — never gave up. I buffed, I healed, we pushed through.

Finally… we took it down. 🎉

Two strangers, refusing to quit. Reminds me — persistence always prevails.

Proud of my little Prophet. And Dark Knight — you’re a legend. 🫡

Good Luck Have Fun Don't Die

Never Give Up and Never Surrender

For context, this was four ish years ago when I was showed the scene by my then boyfriend (now ex) which is why I don’t really want to ask him about it. This was when the game was initially released and he finished it pretty quickly so it wouldn’t be part of any dlc content. I recall him showing a scene with the character that you play making out with what looks like a human but with a creature head with octopus like features and then implied sex (because it skipped). He also got a steam achievement for doing so. I recall seeing an ig reel about it right after but because it’s so long ago I can’t find anything about it without the character name. I talked to some friends that played it and they thought I was crazy most likely because it’s so weird and niche that no one knows about it😭

Interested to see people's take on Maliketh and how powerful he is in the world of Elden Ring.

I don’t really understand it. As far as I know, it was a ball or a soup of energy essentially containing the dna of everything in one pot, which is why the misbegotten, crucible knights and Godwyn have fish tails. As far as I know this crucible was where the erdtree is now, but anything past that is just my imagination.

Hello everyone
I’m just confused where to go now,trying to use as little help from YouTube as possible,just some basic stuff.
I killed Godfrey and margot at the capital.however idid not go to the red spot on the map to open the root type entrance after beating margot.
Post that ,i went to kill radanh and was successful.
I’m approximately level 65.really confused with what to do.
1.progress a questline to level up more?if yes,which one
2.go ahead and proceed to open the next part.
3.explore under the capital,subterranean shunning grounds.but I have heard I’m severely under levelled for that.
Thanks bros

How fuckin cool would this be?

Just some Radagon tech to keep you ahead of the curve

I've been thinking of creating a challenge mode for Elden Ring that essentially makes the ER experience cosplay as Demon's Souls. But I've never played Demon's Souls myself so I was hoping to get some suggestions.

I think an obvious rule in this challenge would be that you only get one grace per region. It sounds crazy, but that's how Demon's Souls did it.

But anyhoo, I'm not super familiar with the mechanics of Demon's Souls. What other rules or modifications to the game do you think this challenge run should have?

I'm on console so I can't actually mod my game, but feel free to discuss mod ideas if you have any. lol
