You could play ps4 and make USB backup at every decision point.
Or the gdamn game shouldn't be so cryptic without the player having to look up every g'damn thing. There's no way in hell anyone would ever know this crap. It's so frustrating ... I'm trying to avoid the internet on this play through and I'm having a lot more fun, but of course, I tried to follow the guide and crap the bed. I had read that finishing Ranni's full quest is what kills Seluvis. Nope, it's like 3/4 of the way through - which I wanted to do so that I could get a new things from the underground (mainly the summon, which I'm now not a huge fan of).
Oh well, time to figure out how to get Tiche again. I know exactly where she is, just forget how to get there.

Melania broke me. Bosses that heal and have 2 phases along with rot are not cool.

Sometimes I really hate these games ... Decided to get Dungeater as a summon this time - Progressed Ranni's quest far enough as I had to - Did all the right things for Dung's quest - He's in his prison, in human form - No option to give Seluvis potion - Give a cursebed seed, still no option - Go pay a visit to Seluvis - he's fudging dead - guess I went too far into Ranni's questline - I thought it was when you finished it? Nope, Google says I fudgeed it up by giving Ranni the Fingerslayer Blade. This gdamn game is annoying sometimes. Was looking forward to having him as a summon. Damnit.
Which is funny, he was definitely still alive after giving her the blade, I swung by for another spell before I finished Ranni's quest, so it's between then and finish that he dies.

That was the exact moment I respecced into Arcane and cheesed Corpse Piler. Didn't even feel bad about it.

"A quick note: Continuing Ranni’s quest from here will lock you out of completing Seluvis’s questline — which is, in turn, related to Nepheli, Sellen, and Dung Eater as well."
--- This is after killing Astel (which I just now did). Yet, the dickhead died after I opened Renni's tower.
Oh well, I got Tiche now, really wanted to check out Dung Eater though.

50 hours in, finally retired the Great Stars for Blasphemous Blade. Holy hell how did I not pick this up last time. This thing is way OP'd at max level.

I just started playing ER the other day, I’m a total souls newb. I’ve only played the remaster on switch and maybe only 4 or 5 hours worth. I have no idea where I’m supposed to go or what I should be doing lol.

That has to be the best and worst way to experience it! Don't look crap up ... enjoy being lost and confused for awhile. It's an amazing experience if you don't ruin it!

And that was Elden Ring. 129 hours later. Great game. Easily the most accessible souls title yet with a great sense of wander lust.

Getting sad with this game again ... nearly done with the Mountaintops and everything prior is 100% done.
Currently at level 145 and 70 hours, which amazes me, because I finished last time at around level 125 and somewhere around 110 (I think) hours? Clearly having prior knowledge makes this a lot easier/faster, but I'm also dying vastly less with this build. I've been pleasantly surprised how many additional smaller things I've found that I did not see last time.
Debating whether or not to stop leveling at 150 to have a character to PvP with (seems to be the "meta" that everyone plays at). Current build is not optimal for PvP though.... would need to respec and upgrade some other gear.
My old PS5 save, I'm still at Elden Beast as I was waiting for DLC and not wanting to replay the full game to experience. Did you guys do the same? Seems vastly easier to save a PC backups for ease of restore later ...

Don't worry guys, it may finally be time I continue Elden Ring a mere 7 months after finally beating Margit. At this rate I'll be playing until I'm 63. That's what I call longevity.

I also have a save backup, but mine's after beating the Elden Beast. It's PS4 though, so it's an easy local backup. Kind of a bummer they decided to go back to their Sony ways with the PS5.

50 vigor + playing fashion souls ... is making Haligtree a bit interesting as a squishy melee. Yet, made it to the end. Malenia is going down! Sadly, camping trip this weekend, she'll have to wait until Sunday.
I fear I'm in the master of none category with this current build, but damn if it isn't fun! End game with my prior run (Mage quasi hybrid), I just ended up with big nukes (the Ranni giant ball spell); whereas here, I have a lot more versatility.
I debate dropping down FTH/INT/ARC and possibly adding more into VIG/END ... yet, If I can finish Haligtree, the rest of the game (Azula and Lyndell) is quite easy if memory serves, in comparison to Haligtree.
Anyone else play the whole Discus/Triple Ring reflect build? I find that I rarely use Triple Ring as Discus is easier to manage. This in itself, would give me 14 points back (I'm staying at 150 for potential PvP later).

Just hit mountain a bit ago, but I'm probably gonna go back downstairs to hit up some stuff I missed like Lava Mansion before I progress further.

@DarkFact - I'm confused, you're rocking dual swords, but all that int + spells assigned ... how are you casting?
Also, solid Fashion Souls ... we wear the same bracers.
