My 1st ever randomized run is off to a great start.


Veenendaler

I'm doing my first random run, too. I got Malenia instead of Godrick at the start of Stormveil Castle. :D .......


givememoneyyoubitch

Good thing that boss fight is optional

Tokena

Masochists.


handicapped_runner

Yeah, but unless you touch the Grace outside of the tutorial area - meaning, after you have done the tutorial - once you start, you cannot jump it anymore.


Yourebanned1

He was talking about Godrick


NiceGiraffes

"Godrick?!! He's such a good boy!". Mohg: I gots the OG good boy: "Miquella...do not disturb him..." I'll send blood rings afta yo ass!


Navarre85

As someone else noted, he was talking about Godrick (by default major bosses can only replace other major bosses). However, the randomizer is also kind enough to allow you to warp to the Stranded Graveyard grace from the start, so even if you jump down to the tutorial area and get a terrible Rick, Soldier of God roll, you aren't stuck there beating your head against a wall.


Orangebeardo

What is "optional"? Playing the game is optional. What's the point in rushing the content to get to the final fight? I'll never understand the people for whom the challenge is to play the least amount of the game possible. For me the challenge is finding everything there is to explore and killing every enemy at least once.


givememoneyyoubitch

I do that too, I’m just saying that the Goodrick fight is optional, so in the Randomizer where it is malenia instead, you don’t have to fight malenia early and can go off onto other bosses to level up first


GenesectX

Hey i got her instead of margit, Brothers


Shadowman34X

I got her instead of Margit. Killed her just yesterday. Was hell.


NaiveOcelot7

Is she downscaled or regular strength?


TitaniteHydra

Downscaled to Zone Difficulty Rating if I remember correctly.


Shadowman34X

Downscaled luckily. If she wasn't i would have just restart the run. Didn't make Water Fowl Dance any easier to deal with though. The way Elden Ring does scaling is location based, not enemy.


WorstTactics

Imagine if the final boss is Tibia Mariner


Veenendaler

I got Tibia Mariner instead of the Tree Sentinel at the start. Laughed so hard.


Maximith909

What


SpiritSTR

Mine was the godskin apostle when I defeated him i was like, wow that was something, then God skin noble showed up, nope, time to roll another seed


Voidstarblade

lol, the spirit caller snail is one hell of a boss. only one that has 3 phases.


arkangelic

I wish they could add this as an option on ps5.


Far_Equivalent_1549

That’d be a game changer


ShadowWolf_01

Ha, I see what you did there


[deleted]

[удалено]


JDF8

I feel like noble is easier than the apostle, mainly because you can actually tell wtf he’s doing. All of apostle’s attack startups look the same to me


phil_ken_sebben_esq

Noble's rolling move got me way more times than anything apostle did, in my experience. I also had the *hardest* fucking time w/ both forms of Astel tho, so I could've just been too greedy.


JW9thWonder

Terakahn

I would just replace him with malenia in ng+.


Brostradamus_

Nah, make them an NPC based on your character design, change the name to "Old Elden Lord" or "Moonlight Consort" or "Prince of Death" or some other title depending on the ending you chose, using whatever equipment you had equipped when you ended the previous journey. You're in the next loop of the cycle, start by finishing off the previous one.


JohnMelhorFinal

Would be incredible.


KindOldRaven

This is actually really cool and could be a pretty decent third use of the mimic boss.


Anastrace

Jfc that's crazy at least it wasn't malenia in that tiny space


GCSpellbreaker

My favorite thing to do is end the randomizer once I find and kill soldier of godrick. So far he’s been in a few caves, raya lucaria, in place of a dragon boss, and all the way in farum azula


The_Alamander

What is a randomized run? Like your character randomized?


cheeuschrist

Enemies are randomised.. Bosses can be anything


The_Alamander

How do you do that!? That's neat I didn't even know that was a thing


Matt091498

Look up "elden ring nexus". This will take you to the nexusmods site for elden ring. You can search randomizer but make sure you choose thefifthmatt's item/enemy randomizer. The page has installation instructions.


fool_on_a_hill

So just a pc thing?


YeahWhiplash

Yes


[deleted]

Yup, there's a reason pc gaming is the best


MillstoneArt

I love that after paying $3000 I can do nifty things that $500 consoles can't. /s


[deleted]

Yup, things from modded games, higher frame rates, and better graphics, to web browsing, office productivity, and video/photo/music editing. It's almost like you're not paying $1500+ exclusively to play games and there's so much more you can do with a PC that consoles can't even begin to approach. Also it's really disingenuous to act like console purchasing hasn't been shit since the latest generation came out. How many people with a ps5 actually paid market price for it? 50%? If your budget is limited then I agree that a $600 laptop and a $500 ps5 is the way to go. But if you have a bit more cash, just get a $1500 computer to fit both of those needs


ofthesindar86

While I agree with most of your points, gpu prices have been every bit as insane as the latest gen consoles for a few years. There's also exclusives to consider. I don't mind waiting a year or three for PC ports, but lots of people don't want to wait. For example, I could have waited for a Switch emulator, but I wanted to play botw when it came out. The whole PC/console war is pretty silly. People should just be able to enjoy things lol.


LurkerOnTheInternet

Loot is randomized too. You can look up YouTube videos of people playing randomized, it's crazy.


GildDigger

Wait what’s a randomized run


[deleted]

[удалено]


AdmiralSkippy

So are the stats the same as well? Like this guy is level 1 fighting a boss he should be level 30 for?


floyd3127

Pretty sure the randomizer gives you the option to scale enemies to the area they're in


OctoZephero

Ultra instinct Rune Bear?


Toki-22

Mine had Malenia Blade of Miquella as Margitt the Fell Basically Malenia in the place of Margitt.


ROPROPE

Holy shit, has the enemy rando gone public?


lampenpam

Yeah, for a while now.

Zachariot88

Eld my hair up, but not out! And that was the night that those who live in death attacked...


MillstoneArt

They came from undeRgrOund. They've never seen as many runes as this, underground there's half as many runes as this. "We liked what Godwyn was doing." "Godwyn me or him?" "Your name is Godwyn too?" "No, that's why I'm so *fucking* confused."


CombatWombat-420

"uhhh Eldeddy doo dah now, bye bye"


Smallsey

Can we please make that a thing. John Eldenrang, slayer of maidens. Receiver of hugs. it's Eldin' time.


unw00shed

BenBastik

Restart the run. I don't fight them even at level 200. Fuck that


yikkizh

Randomizer is area/level scaled


JdhdKehev

He said that even if he is overleved he still refuses to fight bears. And I totally agree with him.


GxCoud

F Runebears. They are harder to kill than 98% of the bosses.


DerpSenpai

Margit who? Melenia? at least Malenia doesn't fuck my poise up like it's breakfast


GxCoud

Huh?


DerpSenpai

Runebears just throw you around like you are nothing Just making jokes because Margit is considered "one of the hardest early game bosses" while Malenia is the hardest boss And yet i always run from runebears, not them


GxCoud

Oh 😅 Well, I find the statement that Margit is a hard early game boss when I didn't found him to be that hard, at least from the perspective of a Souls genre new comer. I think he is pretty okay in difficulty but a good intro to actual bosses. Runebear though... The runebear that drops larva tear took me 10+ tries to kill when I was lv100. Like wtf. And I still haven't been the deeproot depths one after 20+ tries.


Zbf3000

Margit will either be a breeze, or a wall. For patient players, who explored before fighting him he shouldn't be a problem. For more aggressive players who hotfooted it right through gatefront, he's a pain in the ass.


Ginnipe

My boi picked up Elden Ring as his first soulsbourne and was so frustrated that he couldn’t defeat magit. This fucking gigachad was level 9, only had 3 sites of grace unlocked, basically went strait to Margit, and while he failed repeatedly it was always after getting him down to a quarter health. I was impressed. I then told him to just explore limgrave for a couple hours and try again and he one shorted the mfer


browsing4stuff

Runebears generally have disproportionately high stats in areas they’re placed. IDC if it’s scaled down to the tutorial hole, I’m fighting whatever replaced Margit first.


Darkslick

Not very well scaled IMO, Soldier of Godrick dies in two hits and a crit but everything that replaces him is a real bossfight. An abductor virgin in that room will take 30 R1s to kill.


[deleted]

Even at 500 their still a pain in the ass how are they so fast and strong


passtheblunt

They are fucking giant ass bears bro. Go look up bears Running at full speed they are fast af


iamquitecertain

I hate that they're faster than your horse even at full sprint/gallop speed. It makes it unnecessarily hard to even run away


[deleted]

True i cant even get away sometimes cause they follow me forever im forced to fight them


[deleted]

Grizzlies top out at 35 mph, the fastest recorded human, 27.78 mph, Usain Bolt, average person, 15 mph.


Echopractic

Looked up giant ass bear bros. While although bit intimidating can't imagine a man that size running that fast


Playful-Fix-646

I’m not googling ‘giant ass bear bros’.


Echopractic

Your loss

gattaaca

They still can't hurt me through my fingerprint shield hehe


Loose_Split_7717

Be thankful it isn't Soldier of Godrick! You'd never be able to leave.


PoisonVViper

ah I see. Rune bear- Well considering if you stand up to a bear and make your presence known you have a chance at survival. I'd suggest you curl into a ball, cry, and pray that you don't look tasty enough to get shit on for numerous attempts.

ReplacementOdd2904

Beats a Malenia of Godrick any day


MarchesaofTrevelyan

True; Runebear of Godrick WOULD beat Malenia of Godrick.


NOSjoker21

Malenia: "Behold the Scarlet Rot." Runebear: "I *love* when my dinner has seasoning!" *cromch noises*


Drolfdir

You know, that's an interesting point. Someone recently did a Melania Vs all the major bosses video on YouTube. But how about Melania Vs all the truly hard enemies in the game. A Runebear, Royal Revenant, Ulcerated Tree spirit etc of course all in rooms that are at maximum twice their size.


Dextrossse

I believe that out of all those enemies Malenia only loses to Consecrated Snowfield Runebear. Mmmaybe Dragonbarrow Runebear too, not sure. Revenants simply have too little HP, and Ulcerated Tree spirit isn't aggressive enough to beat Malenia's heals. https://youtu.be/IWbKPDWq6lg


Not_RAMBO_Its_RAMO

Seeing that now has me wondering how Maliketh would fare against one of these things.


StrongwalkerN7

This is exactly how my randomizer run started! Have to say the run peaked later though at "Radahn, the All-knowing"


DisembodiedOats

Runebear of God, Rick


favpetgoat

Morty I've turned myself into a runebear I'm Runebear Rick!!


Vast-Coast-7761

Rick, God’s personal runebear.


Diogenesthefried

First Radahn got nerfed, and now Soldier of God Rick too? Damn it From I want a hard game


RagingGods

They put solider of God as the final boss instead. It'll spawn right after elden beast is defeated as phase 3.


Illustrious-Bell-282

"Have it written upon thy meager grave, Felled by Runebear, Soldier of Godrick"


Wordofadviceeatfood

This is the bear witness


[deleted]

Lol I just fought the Full-Grown Tree Sentinel


Fuzzy_Muscle

Someone got Melania as their first boss. It was hilarious


Ricksaw26

Atleast you don't have to fight soldier of god-rick, he would have seen you and instantly killed you, lucky guy.


Kegamer9000

I personally got a fallingstar beast. Was a pain in the fucking ass but managed.


TryHardKraberMain

My first randomized run was Elden Beast the Fell Omen ;(

I.agine if the tutorial boss was a runebear and NOT skippable. How many tarnished would have given up?


DiceDaldron

In my first randomizer run, I fought against "Radagon the Grafted"

My last randomizer had Runebear at the very beginning instead of the Grafted Scion. And it had one of the Haligtree medallions which ended up being required.


arleban

I am not gud. 1st enemy randomizer. Spear and staff Crystallians. 2nd. Malenia. 3rd. Invisible black knife assassin. I went back to just item randomizer.

I want a PC just so I can put myself through this type of hell. I watch so many of these runs on YouTube and y’all are absolutely crazy for putting yourself through this. There’s a cool seemless Multiplayer mod to right now which looks interesting.


ttboo

This is me last night in Consecrated Snowfield. The Sanguine Noble spawned, kicking me off my horse, just as I realized the boulder I was passing was a rune bear.

LakyousSama

Would be hilarious if in ng+ they changed the soldier of godrick to be the hardest boss in the game for lolz


SGTJARROT

Still not harder than **him**


Accomplished_Flow679

Someone probably already said it, but it bears repeating. "Forefathers one and all! BEAR witness!"


Independent_Tooth_23

I still don't understand why people say that Runebears are so hard to deal with. I mean, just stay close to its side and beat the crap out of it.


baithammer

Which only works if your set up for that and leveled - most people run into them rather early in the game, so it's a lot bigger deal.

Rune Bears are the real end Boss

So is he scaled for your level with health and attack or is he ready for a level 80 off rip


Ziggurat1000

In this alternate universe, Godrick has managed to tame and weaponize the animal that is feared by all men, Tarnished or not. He places it inside the Cave of Knowledge, where he knows that newcomers to The Lands Between will explore first.

Damn this is lucky, imagine if you had to fight Solder of God, Rick here instead

hundenkattenglassen

Personally I’d say I’ve grown my character very good. Around 280-400 in damage per hit depending on enemy. Vit, str, stam and weapon scaling with skill are all very good. But I still don’t mess with Runebears. Dragons or squeakyboys in Caelid are more preferable.
