I beat Margit on my first try but I was ~level 30. The ashes summon from the Siofra River boss is OP in that fight.

Margit was super easy with my jelly friend and the summon. I just spammed jump R2 while he was distracted and just kept critting him.

This game has a lot of the vibe I got playing Xenoblade Chronicles way back when. Just massive impressive areas and monstrous enemies and I'm zooming past them because there's no point in fighting them. The areas are super impressive and insanely expansive but at the same time the density is so random and engaging most of this stuff is a 100% chance of death.

I spent most of my time so far exploring along the coast to the west of where Tree Sentinel is. Here's some things I found, but I'd love to hear what anyone else has come across because the area did generally feel kinda empty and I wonder if I'm missing stuff. - A really angry man who wanted to kill me for some reason. Killed him and got some white flesh off a body near him. - Some broken pillars placed in such a way that it seems like it wants you to horse climb up them, but I couldn't get it to work and couldn't get all the way up so maybe not? -A pitch black cave that led to a boss fight against two demihuman chiefs and a bunch of adds each. -That cave continued and led out to the island southwest of the starting area, where a dead dragon is wrapped up next to an altar that didn't react when I used it (probably need something later) - An angry dark elf man with a sword that did a pull. Dropped some ashes. - A giant crab and some horrible tentacle things - More pillars towards the south that seemed like maybe it wanted me to platform but couldn't figure out if it was legit or not - The back entrance to the tutorial area which led to the item just before the tutorial pit - a little area where I got ambushed by demihumans several times, didn't seem to lead to anything past that If anything has found anything else or knows if I missed anything along that coast I'd love to hear it to help me better think about how to approach an area when I'm exploring. Tree Sentinel on foot was a lot of fun and learning how to weave the L2, charge and jump attacks into the flow to stagger him was very satisfying. Does he have a place you can hit him for a critical after you stagger him? I could never get it to work attacking from front or back.

Rusty posted:I beat Margit using the NPC summon and the wolf summon, he was distracted the whole fight and only attacked me three times. I was worried reading this thread, but distraction was key for me to beat it. I've been trying these, but he just kills them all before phase 2 or just at the start of phase two so it ends up not mattering. If I wait to summon them, they die pretty fast again. Apparently there is some kind of poisoning strategy with him, someone said use the jelly - but same deal, it dies very fast and if it CAN poison him, it doesn't do it fast enough before it dies. Just had another 4-5 goes on Margit and basically got nowhere. The problem is, once he gets the hammer and the additional combos, because the fight takes so long with my low damage (and i have a buffed sacred estoc +4 at 280 atk power, it's still slow), I eventually mess up and that combo locks me into a situation where if I get hit once, I definitely die because you get up right as the combo is finishing and get hit again. So I can either get to a point where I never get hit by him, which will take me FOREVER, or I can find some kind of cheesey route around this.

VictualSquid posted:I went back to the tutorial area and paid the sword-key for the extended tutorial. I chose this as my starting gift and never left the tutorial  until I got my poo poo pushed in sooo many times by the thing at the end, just a SL1 naked man with a club was a slog getting it to even half healthWas only able to play a bunch of hours last night before sleep and work today, getting back in now But I expected the game to gate me a bit more, like "can't go to this area quite yet, gotta beat this boss first", a la traditional Fromsoft level design But no its like really free open world. I'm a lvl 10 Wretch with only an unupgraded hand axe and some pants, only beat the "tutorial" boss, and I've managed to just gently caress off north all the way to Ciara Manor. And almost entirely on foot! SL1 runs going to be nuts pentyne posted:Any static longspear locations? I've been craving a game experience where you can 2h stab the poo poo out of enemies with a 9 foot spear but nothing so far. I definitely got one while exploring the overworld, although it was a Great Spear, and has a big FTH requirement. The other side of the broken bridge from Stormviel, guarded by one of those giants. Its called a Treespear and its big

So uhh, has anyone gone to the landmass south of where you start yet? This place is giving me serious Yharnam vibes It starts off with Beast monsters that look straight out of Bloodborne, then I found the Ailing Village which has very Bloodborne architecture and is full of Bloodborne-esque villagers who are suffering from some kind of disease and mostly frozen in agony, it's surrounded by diseased and plagued rats. This plague seems to be fire-based though, the diseased villagers can spit fire. (I didn't play BB very far but don't remember anything like that). That lead me to a place called Callu Baptismal Church which I'm working through now, looks like there's a giant rat running the show here e: oh my god the reward was a laserbeam eyes pyromacy spell deep dish peat moss fucked around with this message at 00:08 on Feb 26, 2022 |

I've been going around mostly naked except for a rarely used tower shield and a big anchor weapon and this is game of the decade. Have spent about 10 hours not heading past the stormgate at the beginning but I think I'm finally heading past since the last place I found seems a little tough for now.

also - is anyone else mostly failing to summon co-op? outside margit i used the item to show summon signs, there were dozens, and i only got 1 successfully after trying about 10 of them. i thought people were just disconnecting at first but it seemed more like a bug.

Just a few hours in, and I'm enjoying it, but the first area just doesn't feel very Dark Souls to me (at least the outdoor parts, the interiors I've seen are great). What's with all these animals that aren't undead, cursed, or even visably diseased? And I'm picking fruit? I hope future zones will feel more gloriously ruined. Or maybe they're trying to show us a world that isn't quite as fallen (or hasn't been fallen as long) as DS1&3. Not super into the horse yet, either. But that's not a big deal; I just don't use it much. On the plus side, the new block-counterattack thing is amazing for me, the guy who hides behind shields because he can't parry or dodge for poo poo.

It really is the most frustrating kind of performance issue because everything looks loving amazing and holds a flat 60FPS until combat and then it becomes a jittery unplayable mess.

I want tonupgrade my starting gear but im worried it will be a waste There hasn’t been a modern From RPG yet where you don’t effectively have infinite access to early and mid-level + upgrade materials after a story beat, experiment as you want though be a little judicious as they do seem a little slimmer on the ground for the mid-levels.

Skippy McPants posted:Wait, are bloodstains supposed to do something? They’re supposed to show you a ghost replay of the persons last few seconds of the life and death that caused the bloodstain. The ghost part isn’t super necessary because a bunch of bloodstains themselves should have you wary and moving slower but they can occasionally reveal super useful things.
