This is my problem. I had like 0 problems dealing with anything before him then I get to him and can't do more than 200 damager after like 20 tries lol.

Just beat Margit myself. The jellyfish summon seemed quite good, kept him poisoned most of the fight and drew aggro once or twice. Died a bunch, though. Fought him with a +2 Magic Uchigatana at level 20. I got used to the dagger and hammer skills, but his longsword stuff is quite relentless. Heavy attacks didn't do nearly as much posture damage as jumping attacks, I found.

I wonder if they buffed Margit in the day 1 patch because the sheer amount of roadblock doesn't mean with the "fairly standard 1st Souls boss" experience I had. I don't mean that in a humblebrag way, I just am genuinely shocked because I expected lots of "lol so easy" from Soul vets

I love the way the bat enemies hang upside down in the shadows to wait for you. It's super creepy when you come across them the first time and see glowing eyes hanging from under a bridge.

I have zero clue how to use it. I started as a Vagabond so maybe you have to use a wand or something? Both! There's a bunch, including a bunch of dogs, a big crowd of weak nerds, the jellyfish, some skeletons, etc. You can't use them and multiplayer summons at the same time and they make the area slightly harder just like in multiplayer. You don't need a staff or anything, they're just useable like flasks, you equip them in the same slots. If you can't use them, you may need to open up the summoning pool but touching the little crucified statue dude that's in each area. They can be well hidden. The one before the first boss is right at the fog gate I believe though.

What is a good early strategy for power progression? I'm finding weapon upgrades and armor upgrades to be few and far between. I found the Lord's Greatsword (Claymore 2.0) and haven't found any better weapon or even another greatsword, no armor upgrades, and only a few flask upgrades I stumbled upon. I guess farming runes, but there aren't a ton o great options except giants or repeatedly respawning some enemies.

Leon Trotsky 2012 posted:What is a good early strategy for power progression? Finding a weapon and getting real drat good at it. Also buying/finding good ashes of war. There are no armor upgrades. I've only been using two weapons (that greatsword for hoseback and the caestus for everything else) and it hasn't been too bad keeping them upgraded. You just need to take the time to explore the poo poo out of the open world area. You can farm for the upgrade parts but I forget who drops them. The big demi-humans? (not the giants)

So I came across the Deathtouched catacombs and fought the Black Knife Assassin. It ended being laughably easy as I pelted him with pebbles for 90% of his health then flailed him to death. I thought it was going to be a multi-stage boss cause my spells were doing good damage with like 20 int.

Margit down (with help)! Felt pretty tough as an Astrologer at lvl 24 but I’ve been focusing on int more than anything. I could still take 2-3 hits before dying. With an 85% shield (i found a 100% but didn’t have the str for it) I could block his one big gently caress off hammer hit. Everything else I could easily dodge or move. I probably could have done with solo with the jelly but I said gently caress it let’s bring some pubbies along for the ride.

if you hold a weapon with both hands (Y/Triangle + LB/RB), you get 50% of your strength stat applied to it. So if you have 10 str, by 2Hing it, you effectively now have 15. If you have 11, instead of keeping you at 15 (rounding down), it'll push you to 16 (rounding up)Frankston posted:Thanks, managed to grab the bonfire. That suuuucked. np that area' rough

I think of them like Rune banks. You can't lose them if you don't use them, so only use them when you need them.

Leon Trotsky 2012 posted:- How does the co-op pool decide which shrines are "nearby" to qualify? I got transported halfway across the world a few times, but never for the dungeon I am actually next to. I don't think it cares, it just puts you in the pool randomly for any coop thingo you've unlocked so don't forget to actually, you know, use them although I am starting to wish I didn't use the one outside of horse because three people doing poo poo and the area transition makes my FPS go to absolute poo poo

Can we talk about how ridiculously hard Margit is. It's taking me longer than Sekiro's last boss, what in the gently caress. How am I supposed to deal with his pirouette spam poo poo in the second phase? At the point I am there's not enough stamina in the world to dodge/block all that, even now that I got the timing right. Not to mention you're obviously fighting this highly mobile flippy ninja-monster on a loving bridge because why not.
