Elden Ring General Discussion

Went around on a couple sites to at least confirm that other people ordering it here in the land of fast food and gun violence also had the date changed.

The 31st was the date for Europeans. The 17th is for overseas according to their website.

Where?

I'm on the news portion of their site and it says that EU retailers will get it next week (from October 13, so October 17 and beyond that, 31st is over 2 weeks away from that, but I guess they could've just been wrong about all of it) and that US will get it in early November, which is both in line with October 31st being the "release" date, and also the fact that November 17th is not early, that's mid November. So those dates wouldn't make sense. What does fit it is the release of the German, French, and Spanish versions in EU, but the version I bought is specifically the English copy. So still.

"Volume I is almost here! English language copies will hit retailers in Europe next week, and US retailers will receive it in early November. German, French and Spanish editions will also be available at European retailers from the end of October."

In any case, I've just accepted that the book will come at a later date than what Amazon told me. Not the first time I've been mislead by these kinds of sites so it's not a big deal to me. Just frustrating running around in circles trying to find out why an overpriced book is taking longer than I thought.
 
Although the book states that the recommend level for Radahn is a +18 or +7 weapon. Whic is higher than every future boss until Morgott (its even higher than Rykard).

So under that assumption it's assuming you trigger the Radahn festival later than what what assumed.
 
Also it mentioned Godfrey was the First Elden Lord ordained by the Greater Will. Though the second Elden Lord overall after the Dragon Lord.

How would Rykard get downgraded?

Oh that. Its a bit iffy. Basically, the book gives a recommended weapon tier rating for every boss you go against. Radahn is rated as +18/+7 while Rykard is a +15/+9.

The guide also assumes you basically beat every region boss before you fight the Shardbearer. So it assumes the Tarnished has defeated the Dragons and the Gargoyle before battling Radahn.

Even the Beast Clergyman in that temple?
 
A couple hundred pages in just about. Nothing too interesting thus far.

Most noteworthy thing I saw is clarification about the Margit encounters. Some people debate about what Morgott does to manifest himself. For the encounter in the Capital Outskirts, the book explicitly states that the Commoner is possessed and then transformed into Margit, Margit attacking when the "transformation is complete". So, Possession and Transmutation/Transformation for Morgott I guess.

Other than that, there is some ordering of what area you're supposed to go to and when, as well as what weapon level you should be at for various enemies. But nothing in that really is worth noting at the current moment. Though for some future, more minor profiles, some of it might be relevant.
 
The one calc I still need left is burning the entire Lands between. It's a definite Tier 6 feat afaik, but Idk how to calc it.
 
Finished the Book of Knowledge. Ngl, very disappointed. It's all just information already in the game, but pieced together with some flowery wording, and the "Strategy Guide" part of the title wasn't a lie. The majority of the book was just filler and things almost no one would care about. For 50 dollars, very lackluster.

As for noteworthy things for this site:

The book confirms that the "falling star" was in fact a meteor, not that we didn't believe so already, but yes the so called stars Radahn holds are just meteors.

Morgott should have possession and transformation added if not already.

1-A and conceptual Elden Beast due to being explicitly called the literal personification of the concept of Order. 🗿

But yeah those two things are literally it. Well it does confirm that the GW is an Outer God which might be useful in future scaling but for now that's worthless here.

Seems like Vol II with the Bestiary would have more juicy stuff from my casual read-through. Since the book doesn't go over enemies or bosses in super deep detail.

Probably. I'm hoping it has more on the inhabitants, bosses, various groups, and obviously lore.

Especially Godskin lore.
 
It still mentions the heavens, but it does back the consistency issue the verse has.

So if anything I'd say this just confirms that we shouldn't make anyone solidly Tier 4.

So we're still stuck with possibly? Oof

Also does it elaborate on anything for the Elden Beast feat?
Click to expand...
Absolutely nothing. In fact the only thing it says about Elden Beast is the joke I said before, that the Greater Will sent a golden star bearing a beast that was the living incarnation of Order, which later became the Elden Ring, in the same paragraph where it is confirmed that the GW is indeed an Outer God.
 
Oh one correction, it doesn't call the Greater Will an Outer God, it calls the Greater Will an Outerversal God, and says that the Elden Beast is Low Outerverse level.
