Yes there are way too many other places to go lol and gun fort is one . I think the first idol says "sunken valley entrance" or something like that, look for spots on the edge of the castle walls where you can descend

edit: and maybe swim around the moat a little bit once you're inside, can't remember if that got me there specifically but you have a ton of branching paths at that point. For Gun Fort follow the snow

This game is so good the vocabulary we have to talk about games isn't enough to describe the combat.

i probably have too if DS3 is anything to go by lol but I usually never ever do NPC quests in these games unless there's some Epic Content behind them, like how in DS2 youd miss out on a whole boss fight if you didn't complete a certain covenant.

this game is all I can think about god

When I assume a boss only has the displayed number of health bars and finally deplete them after 100 attempts and then he pops up for a second phase:

I beat the general miniboss and found the chained ogre but I’m missing the axe and fire tools, and I haven’t seen the estates or whatever I’ve seen mentioned. Did I miss a divergent path at the begging? I’ve been searching for an hour and I just can’t figure out where I went wrong

Did you find the friendly NPCs a little ways before the ogre? The mom gives you a prayer bead which you can offer to the buddha statue next to the sculptor. That's your ticket to Estates

Just found out by reading the loading screen tips that posture restores faster when you hold guard, seemingly the opposite of what fromsoft games have taught you to do in the past

Yeah it has the side effect of making most bosses rush your rear end down though . They love that + punishing healing in this game lol

Fighting the mini boss general, getting whooped before I take off any health and accidentally hitting revive, then proceeded to perfectly block like 15 attacks and get the kill. This game is so loving good

btw, since the game never makes it clear: you dont get penalized for resurrecting. its when you fully die and go back to the lantern that dragonrot can happen
