Elden Ring - 1st Attempt at Marge the Fell Omen (My Confessor Gets Stomped)

For a quick summary, this is an fantasy-action game I'm playing on PS4.

You play as an undead rogue/sorcer/warrior called "the Tarnished."

Elden Ring takes place in the Lands Between where a goddess once ruled with the titular magic ring before it was shattered and split among her children in a catastrophic war called the Shattering. Now the goddesses's children have grown deformed from the rings power and your job as Tarnished is to gather the ring's broken pieces and become the Elden Lord .

At the beginning of the game, I chose the Confessor class due to my interest in melee and incantation-based magic which is magic using seals instead of a staff.

Right now I only have and use a sword, shield, heal spell, and a fireball spell.

There are save points called Seats of Grace which point you to the next story point which led me to here Stormveil Castle.

There was an AI companion summon so I knew a boss battle was nearby.

Marge the Fell Omen is rather ugly but he definitely knows how to make an entrance.

Marge started by throwing magic light constructs shaped like swords. I dodge the first one but got hit with the second.

I tried swiping at him with my sword but I wasn't doing very much damage so I backed up to pepper him with fireballs ... unfortuantely that didn't do a lot either so my poor AI companion was just getting pummeled while I tickled Marge with my weak sword and fireballs.

Somehow my AI companion and I stunned him for a second but I couldn't trigger a cool-stab move.

Marge quickly collected himself and summoned a giant hammer made of light ... very not good.

My AI buddy died soon after. I wonder if I get more runes/EXP if I fight without him?

Without my AI buddy to distract Marge, I die rather quickly.

I need to get better at using jump to avoid horizontal enemy attacks.

I'll need to find more smithing stones and runes to level up my sword and fireballs.

When I return, Marge, I will be far more powerful than when last we fought!

Hope y'all enjoyed the video! Feel free to leave comments, advice, or tips below!

I'm half a year late to Elden Ring but if I've heard correctly it's going to get some DLCs in the future so that sounds like a lot of fun.
