FromSoftware’s Elden Ring is a perfect candidate for this article, and will likely tackle the Dark Souls game as well, but first, let’s see how much slower the achievement has been here.
Elden Ring achievements, despite the game’s reputation for being extremely difficult, many bad. Unlike most Souls games, you don’t even have to work on New Game+. He can savescum to all three endings in one playthrough, and there’s none on the list (except for a few missables, no doubt). Multiple runs will be required. With that in mind, let’s fire up the nonsense achievement generator and see how desolate the Elden Ring would have been if the team overdid their achievements.
BS GS is TA’s original editorial series that ruminates on how hard it would have been if the developers had taken their achievement list to the next level. A billion kills, playing every day for a year, etc., we try to focus on specific details and possibilities rather than the simple grind. Up.
Elden Ring — Kill all bosses in the game with different weapons
Elden Ring has over 170 boss fights, and while the achievement of finding and defeating every last one is pretty awful in itself, I thought I could take things to the next level here. Once you get downed, it’s not that hard to trample, especially if you go back to early dungeons where bosses tend to scale assuming you reach them at lower levels and eventually go down in couples There is none. hits. What if the game introduced an arbitrary restriction that the killing blow for every boss in the game had to come from a different source of damage?
The first problem here is that there aren’t enough archetype weapons anywhere to meet this ridiculous condition, so it leaves you and your clicking weapon type comfort zone. and worse, unless you farm like crazy, you’ll need to use a lot of weapons with very few upgrades – upgrade materials are easy to come by You can’t, and if you find the relevant merchants and bell bearings, you can buy them, but you’ll have to weigh whether to smash runes to improve your gear or use a weaker version of the weapon. It’s only a bigger concern in the case of gear you didn’t know how to use really well… Most people who beat the game never beat a boss with a dagger. (Maybe some people are using crazy Bleed with proper builds). Remember that weapons also have stat requirements. So you have to scrape almost every stat and ruin your build just to use some of the available equipment.
But wait, it’s still getting worse. what about the summons? For the sake of discussion, let’s say the killing blow from the Spirit Ashes AI summon counts as a unique weapon for the purposes of this stupid achievement. With limited resources, you’ll want to either upgrade them heavily or take the risk and finish it off yourself with your own weapon rather than claiming 2 kills on the summons and ruining the run. Summoning a player character? Good luck spending hours summoning other players. If they’re using weapons they’ve already used to beat the boss, you should dismiss them in case they get a kill. Even saying unique spells count as a separate source of damage still requires stats to use them, and having to find them in the first place makes them less manageable. It ties into another issue and that is tracking. Without a way in-game to see which bosses were killed with which weapons, to avoid doubling up, you would have to create a spreadsheet of which bosses were killed with which weapons, leaving unused You have to cross the boss without a weapon and nope out to find something else to use.
There’s also the fact that finding all the bosses in the game is a mission in itself. Some are trapped behind questlines, others behind the abstract conditions typical of FromSoftware games, and even worlds, all the final dungeons of Elden Ring’s gigantic world. It will require intensive exploration using a variety of gear rather than just clearing it. The question is, do you need to invest in yet another stat to increase your equipment load, or do you switch equipment in the middle of a boss fight? It’s something you have to take risks with. stop it. This is already a terrifying base achievement — beat all the bosses — go to the next level… kill the endgame bosses with the weapon you’ve already used, and a few more just to get back to them with NG+ Imagine having to spend ten hours or a new file to do it. No.
Defeat Malenia at level 1
Malenia is famously one of Elden Ring’s hardest bosses, and this could easily have been an achievement to beat the game with L1 and become Onebro, but I’d mix it up, I thought about including optional bosses instead that lower level players would probably do. This will be an absolute war of attrition. Dealing damage without investing in stats sucks, and thanks to her perfectly fair, even one of her attacks can just clip her and give her back a ton of health It’s from Lifesteal mechanic if you don’t kill outright.You have to spend years chipping away at her health and avoiding countless instances of waterfowl dancing anime combo nonsense. Add in the fact that you actually have to arrival To begin with, Malenia has to complete most of the game without leveling up, which becomes an absolute nightmare on so many levels.
Complete the game without summoning a torrent and without using fast travel
Stop doing things that simply disrespect the player’s time. Because they are always “fun”. While you can allow story-related teleporting, otherwise it’s literally impossible, restricting fast travel and all other uses of mounts is horrible. Unless I’m wrong. , I think there are some optional dungeons that you can’t finish without returning to the entrance at high speed. To make matters worse, some battles are designed to be done on horseback, so not using mounts makes things even more difficult. I have a friend who did, I don’t know how he had the patience to do that, but this is probably even worse.
collect all weapons
Souls games often require you to forge all boss soul weapons. Here, it leads to multiple playthroughs to transform boss memories into their own unique weapon options. It also includes getting incredibly lucky and maintaining a personal checklist of what’s missing to know what you need to do next. It does include achievements for getting “nice” weapons, but most of them aren’t really that bad, just one or two are missing.acquisition all It’s next level stuff and in this big world you just have random daggers in random chests in random locations in the open world and you might miss this so you have to be top this Anytime you have the chance to unlock one of your collection
And it will do it! We hope you enjoy this week’s BS GS pranks. If you have ideas for other good targets for future articles, drop them in the comments. Investigate. Are there any BS achievements that make Elden Ring even harder?
