Well, here we are. I'm making good on the last stretch goal from our StackUp charity stream in May and playing Elden Ring. This game is very much Not My Bag, Baby (TM), but I'm keeping my word and seeing if I can learn to enjoy a Souls game like I did Darkest Dungeon and Alien: Isolation. Even if I don't finish this game like I did those others, it will certainly be a learning experience.

Are we beginning to believe? It's probably too much of a stretch to call this feeling confidence, but I think I'm getting more comfortable with what this game expects players to do (aside from die repeatedly, of course). We begin by setting out to do a solid for our boy Boc, entering the Coastal Cave and retrieving his things (36:10). Just in case we were feeling good about ourselves, though, our first invader in the form of Bloody Finger Nerijus (50:30) knocks us back a few pegs, taking multiple deaths and a helping hand to bring down for good. Then it's off to the Murkwater Cave to meet every FromSoft player's favorite NPC -- Patches! (1:12:00). A quick stroll through the Murkwater Catacombs was relatively uneventful, but we make up for that in the Limgrave Tunnels, where a search for smithing stones gets more complicated than expected (1:40:30).

It was at this point that overconfidence might've started to kick in. For whatever reason, I decided to challenge the Tree Sentinel that was making life around the Church of Elleh too nerve-wracking (2:30:45). The fight eventually went our way, though my tactics could best be described as "hit, run, hide -- the Highland way". As if that wasn't enough, I then take Tortellini through the swamps to fight Flying Dragon Agheel (2:49:30). Why? Because it's there, apparently. Again, horse-based combat carries the day. Finally, we return to the Weeping Peninsula in the south, where we visited while underleveled earlier. Castle Morne (3:13:30) introduces some new enemy types and a side quest which we apparently (?) fail. Or maybe we don't? I can't tell. We close out the stream with some more horse-based shenanigans, this time against the Erdtree Avatar (3:45:50), before finding a walking mausoleum and a swampy sidequest that will have to wait until later. Next time, I think we're due for a tangle with our first capital-B Boss. From the December 21, 2023, stream at https://www.twitch.tv/trooperbari/.
