I finished my second playthrough of the Elden Ring DLC and the entire playthrough overall. I tried and tried to beat the final DLC boss without using summons or ashes, but the closest I got over many attempts was about ~30% health. I eventually broke and used mimic tear for the 2nd phase and beat it the 2nd time I reached that point. I've also been playing some XCOM2 on commander difficulty
got back into Grim Dawn. was doing a mostly brianless soldier/oathkeeper autoattack run, lots of passives and stat bonuses. initially it was kinda boring but now i've got some fun stuff that sends the enemies ragdolling away. hopefully i can get through it and actually beat it this time.
also been playing some read dead 2, got the white arabian randomly in the snowy area near the legendary bison. my partner urged me to go catch it as i usually just ignore horses in the game (like i'll use the one you get in the beginning for the entire game lmao) but i got this one all gussied up with a braided mane and a nice saddle. love how people comment on how pretty she is in towns.
elden ring dlc is on hold for a bit, i'll pick it back up whenever.
