Vote for best Elden Ring legacy dungeon

Leyndell for me. Love the atmosphere, the opulent rooms with the perfumers, the lone page playing the violin, the cliff with goldmask and the climb up the tree to the boss etc. And probably my fave music in the game.

Haha sorry

Haha sorry

No problem no problem no problem

The infamous pipey maze of the SubShun Grounds was not-as-punishing as the lobster hell and the pretty music death shaft

My least-favourite area I think tho was Caria Manor. The enemies were so repetitious (hands, surprise ghost knights). Learning that “fire kills hands easy” prob would make it simpler but I still hated it

Not a legacy dungeon proper or anything but I do have a sweet tooth for the extreme challenge of Ordina— the deadly Albinauric snipers both within and without, and the treacherously difficult Black Knives

I liked Ordina! But I was a mage with useful tools for that one - with an invisible spell/silence footsteps combo, the black knives dont see or hear you, so you only have to deal with a couple snipers. And it felt like a snow version of Sellia, which I also enjoyed (the puzzle of how to get to each tower lantern).

I feel alone in my reluctance to vote for Stormveil haha. It felt like the grimmest/grimiest/hardest, it was the one I had to play most repetitively (bcs I was so useless at this game when I started).

Decided my Sellen-shaded heart had to go for Raya Lucaria.

(But I have to say, I'd hve voted for Sofria/Nokron if it was a choice).

Yeah I voted Haligtree/Elphael #1, but Stormveil would've been my #2 and Leyndell my #3... and Farum Azula my #4, kinda surprisingly, it's such an amazing idea/execution, marred only by that pointless blightvomit dead-end section and randomdragonboredom

not going to vote bc i never finished the game and there are several dungeons on here i didn't see or didn't fully explore, but leyndell is definitely my favorite of the ones i know. especially when you first arrive and are looking down from the cliff and can see this whole huge open city in front of you

It's either Stormveil or Leyndell mk. 1 for me. I love how Stormveil somehow manages to be simultaneously tight *and* sprawling. Leyndell is more like a big, weird amusement park.

I’d be interested in everyone’s POOs, armament-wise

I mained about half the available weapons at a certain point; I love the Miquellan Knight Sword and the Guardian Sword Spear but if I could only pick one it’d be the shameful and wonderful lance

Sellia and Ordina and anywhere you need to go around lighting torches can go suck a fuck imho

POO? I love the Envoy's Long Horn. Bash bash bash + bubbles.

But… I default to katanas. I went in last night after a long break - found myself with the long horn equipped but switched back to Uchi/Naga while I was finding my feet. Muscle memory follows their rhythms.

I’m the opposite, I’ve never been a serious katana user in any From game. When I was playing a bloody build in ER, Rivers made the most sense (but I think I used dual curved swords instead); when I played a mage, there really is only Moonveil, it’s just too good— aside from that, no katanas for me

I love the idea of the dual wield Uchi/Naga w the Wakazashi, tho, such a neat idea, never once came across another player running it tho

Same woof, I always start with basic katanas in these games (and in ER I ended with them too). I think the only aberration was DS3, where straight swords were just too good and every character was Lothric Knight Sword plus some long offhand weapon (scythe or halberd).

Automatic thread bump. This poll is closing tomorrow.

Stormveil for me. Really enjoyed the secret passage into Bloodborne vibes of Volcano Manor. Farum Azula is neat but nowhere near as enjoyable (and yes those dragons and that really irritating and pointless deathblight spur).

i really enjoyed Lleyndell and Raya Lucaria. But none match the intricate labyrinth of Stormveil.

Haven’t done Haligtree/Elphael yet. Just taking my time, strolling around.

Currently dual wielding the unfortunately named rivers of blood katana and uchigatana, and yeah, it feels v like the dex build i first used to complete bloodborne so i’m happy.

I'd forgotten my initial discomfort with RoB's name.

Currently overlevelling a STR/FAI build & dumping points into END so I can just stand there behind my big shield, in my big armour and hit things with my colossal sword. It's fun!

see you’re not getting the fun of mistiming iframes and shouting FUCK! at the telly.

Automatic thread bump. This poll's results are now in.

Lol at the Lake of Rot vote.

Surprised Leyndell only got one vote
