Finished my Guts playthrough of Elden Ring, and for the first time in my life, also platinumed a game
Malenia fight was a literal extreme diff draw where scarlet rot killed me just as I killed her, while i sat sweating bullets over whether or not it would count or if I needed to do the fight all over
As shown by the first platinum, absolutely incredible experience, 10/10. Two clear standout moments.
First, I think everyone shares, going down the elevator to Siofra and thinking “holy fuck, what is this!” Purposefully had only seen the bare minimum of promotional stuff for ER so had no idea there was an underground.
Second was entering Leyndall when you go around the corner and see the city spread out in front of you with the enormous dead dragon.
A special mention also to the Haligtree for being the closest thing to Lothlorien I’ve seen outside videogames. Which then made me think God, what would I do to get Miyazaki to make a game set in Middle Earth.
So I think I’m done with it for now, ready to move on to other things and wait for some DLC.
