Is there any quest trigger stuff I can gently caress up by continuing into Boreal Valley before Smouldering Lake? Or vice versa? Not sure where to hit first

Finish exploring smoldering lake if you want to do yuria's thing

i have what feels like a pretty modest investment in health (my vit is at 20), and my cindered healthbar feels insanely long. i think i'll probably put a lot less into health next time.

you get tons of health per point at the beginning, relative to your health bar. but diminishing returns are native to the stat from point 1

i didnt put any points in until hour like 15 but just two points boosted the bar like crazy. which is nice, it seems like health isnt something you really need to worry about stat wise.

Health gains are huge up to 20 vig which is the first softcap. I might be comfortable keeping my health that low going into postgame pvp.

I just realized that the second phase of the abyss watchers fight has the same bell toll motif as Artorias in DS1. Sweet

the only thing that frustrates me in dark souls games anymore is when i see a host use the separation crystal to thanklessly boot out his co-op phantom friends after he summons them explicitly to gang up on me, the invader. no class. at least drop the thank you stone.

To anyone who has beaten the game, Did you think the last boss was too easy? The princes was a way more interesting fight to me.

i thought the last boss was really rough lol and its prob my favorite fight in the game. it does depend on what he does though. sometimes he goes wizard and goes down like a bitch, but sometimes he goes super aggressive pyromancer

The final boss is really fun. I felt annoyed losing to aldrich constantly but enjoyed getting brutalized by the final boss. Kinda like Laurence vs Kos
