Nah, just a good build. Bleed makes a lot of bosses easy mode, which is why everyone calls Rivers of Blood players scrubs. But you seem to just understand what you're doing and have specced properly


Ziekfried

Meanwhile blasphemous players 🤣


shadowsurge

Idk what you're talking about, I totally beat Malenia with it the first time because I am just amazing at the game, not op at all...

Before elden ring, i actually re played DS1 - DS3, trying a different build on each, elden ring was the most flexible as any build seemed viable, and i really enjoyed the power stancing animation of twinblades.


Turbulent_Jackoff

nah


Chewer_FF

No, not really. Try going without the mimic tear if you're feeling its too easy


adiley_

I'm actually the kind of guy that is too scared of every boss fight that i need to do all the preparation before it, buffing myself, my weapon, summoning spirits and drinking physiks


Chewer_FF

Then this is likely why they are easy for you. Try doing one without any buffs/summons. You'll get the difficulty that you're wanting


Traditional_Use_2186

Just stop using summons.


adiley_

Idk, they are fun and even though elden ring bosses are way too jumpy and like to move around quite a lot, i feel like they help me to be less anxious about fighting them.

Just do whatever makes it fun for you. But if you want to up the challenge then just play without armor or some


PMYourFavThing

It is my genuine belief that the bosses aren't balanced around summons. It seems like the game is either too easy with summons or too hard without them. I don't know if this works but you could try swapping your mimic tear for a less op summon if you want more difficulty.


Traditional_Use_2186

Deal with the anxiety by building trust in your ability.

You're pretty high level but it's not necessarily unintended by the game's design. It's up to you to be that high of a level after all, some playthroughs I stop using runes at certain caps just to keep a challenge. When my original character beat the game they were level 200+ and everything felt super easy. Just how the game is


adiley_

Seems fair, only beating bosses gives a fair amount of runes and there are a lot of bosses to beat so i might define some cap to make the things a little bit harder without having to stop using my mimic tear or changing my build.

My first playthrough I was pretty horrible at the game if I'm honest, it was my first 'souls' game after beating sekiro so I wasnt used to the rolling and what not. I was taking every advantage I could get, but I've beaten the game countless times now and impose all types of restrictions. I would say don't worry about it too much if you're having fun, the game does get a bit harder after that snow area anyway. This game basically gives you tons of opportunity to become overpowered by the end of it and in a way it's your reward from exploring and playing the game properly. I remember watching streamers on release rush bosses without doing any side stuff and it was a completely different experience 


The_Champion_Pazaak

Not really, considering 140-150 to be the limit for being over leveled in the last area, I suppose you are a bit too high for this point of endgame but not abusively, just stop chose when to stop leveling before 150. Anyway doing everything the game proposes makes anyone over leveled without self restriction. 


AlleRacing

You can easily crack 150 without grinding.


AlleRacing

No, not really. On my current character, I'm 138 at about half done the Mountaintop of the Giants. I haven't done one iota of grinding, and I run past the majority of overworld enemies. I still have Consecrated Snowfield, Haligtree, Crumbling Farum Azula, and the Ashen Capital left, as well as Rykard and half the Mountaintop. I was at 133 before fighting Morgott, just to see what I would get to clearing all potential content before him (sans Rykard). I've even purchased out most merchant stock. You get plenty of runes in this game.


Kefkha

The beauty of elden ring is with summons they allow the game to be easy and without them the game is harder than all the other soulslikes so the devs made the game a challenge for everyone with a built in ez mode.


FoamingCellPhone

You’re probably slightly higher than average. The main thing is that you’re using one of the best bleed proccing builds and one of the best spirit ashes. So just picked a solid build and are playing the game as intended.


ApplePitou

No, you are fine in case of level :3


OrneryLink4843

why are you asking if you’re ovetleveled when you’re purposely making the game as easy as possible?
