Here's a hot tip: make sure you go through an area embered before you kill the boss because there are throwback npc invaders that will spawn their armor in the environment only if wind up killing them before the boss is cleared out. Don't miss out on swag DS1 and 2 gear

Um I don't think so. I think the first one is after undead settlement if you don't count Holy Warrior Hodrick in undead settlement

Spoilers ahead: I wish the roll in Kirk's armor did as much poise damage as in DS1. It just doesn't seem to have any knock back anymore

the upgrade mat/soul distribution and placement in this game is rly good, it always feels like youre getting just enough and the game is carefully balanced around ur expected weapon+char level, it feels good when youre deep in a hidden area and you find a bundle of ores.

but at the same time, it's crazy generous in the endgame levels, because the devs realize you want to start playing around w/ everything youve picked up and diving into pvp+postgame

how many characters can you have in a game? or do you think its probably better to just play through the game as is keeping one of every item for post game/respecs?

If you mean the ember item that turns you human or whatever it's called in this game you should have at least one million of them by then.

I watched a Bloodborne video today and it turns out I've made my character into the closest approximation with dual swords, almost no armor, and the heal ring. Once you master the move set you can get health off of any enemy that had enough health to survive more than 1 or 2 swings. FTW

By the way what the gently caress is a critical attack. The FP ring never gave me jack poo poo.
