Maliketh's arena. Such a gorgeous place. You get immediately teleported out after the fight to the capitol. But it's really worth it to travel back. There is so much detail, and this is probably the coolest-looking place in Farum Azula.
The statues, the different Elden Ring symbol, the corpses in the pillars, and the place that best showcases Alexander's words: "The city hanging in the air is slowly crumbling. What an incredible place we find ourselves."
I don't really have time to play this weekend (traveling, lots of chores, etc.), but I had lots of free time during the week.
I'm now at the end of my Elden Ring Randomizer RL1 playthrough. But, I must admit, I had feared that the ending might be anticlimactic.
This couldn't be further from the truth: Godfrey/Loux got replaced with Curcible Duo and Godskin Duo. That arena is not made for Duo fights and Crucible Duo one-shots. I did eventually manage it: a perfect parry fight followed by Sleep Pot Noble and Sleep Arrow Apostle.
Oh, but it gets worse: Radagon and Elden Beast → Valiant Gargoyles and Dancing Lion. The Gargoyles shouldn't have that much HP and attack power. Even with Ritual Shield, I got one-shot by everything. I eventually used Watchdog's Staff for the Gargoyle and Pulley Crossbow with bleed bolts for Dancing Lion.
And you thought that was the the hardest? Consort Radahn phases 1 and 2 got replaced with Placidusax and Metyr. Placidusax gets quite glitchy in this arena, and Metyr should not be phase 2 to anything… How did I beat this? I didn't… This is the last fight that's missing. Currently I'm trying Rusted Anchor + Crossbows.
We are still in that Northwest area of the DLC (still no clue what it’s called)
Ancient Ruins of Rauh
Nice area with lots of hidden stuff. It's like an open-world dungeon.
