I'm at my last boss in my Elden Ring RL1 playthrough: Consort Radahn. Everything else is dead; all remembrances even Malenia and Bayle are dead, all dragons dead, all night bosses dead and I’m 98% sure that I killed all other bosses, but there could be a random beastman somewhere in a cave.
I think, I gonna back up my save file and beat Consort Radahn by burning through all my Runes Arcs and Bloodboil Cooktails.
Dex vs. Str. ? I like my Gut's Greatsword just as much as I like my Blades of Mercy. Even on a first playthrough, which I do mostly meele, I just choose what I stumble upon and seems fun. I also quite like quality weapons that don’t really fit in this categorization like the Church Pick or the Great Katana.
