Future of the franchise
Where can I find some very early ranged combat options in Limgrave? I feel like so much of my time in combat is spent from a distance watching patterns I might as well be doing some sort of damage from range.

I started vagabond. I’d ideally like to find some incantations since I’m going str/fai.

Is there a hidden entrance/treasure in Kingsrealm Ruins? I’ve cleared just about all of it but I’ve not seen/earned anything here.

Kalé at the Church of Elleh (right north of the start) sells throwing items and a crafting kit that lets you craft fire pots etc. He also sells a hint that leads to some sorceries.

I forget where I found it (possibly at the hub?) but there's also a bow being sold early on, and it's easy to craft arrows from the numerous bones and feathers you'll be finding.

there are night cavalry minibosses that only show up at night in various places

one of them gives you a sick 3-headed flail

Did you get to play with it? how is it? I just got enough points to equip the flail but I'm feeling very underwhelmed about it compared to the stock un-upgraded confessor sword.
It has very low damage, specially on the poise break finisher and the bleed doens't make that much of a difference on regular mobs.

Speaking armor, do you guys prefer damage negation or resistances?

edit: could anyone maybe post the discord link again pls?

ah jeez, i've gotta be more patient with these dungeons now

i pretty much ran straight through stormveil castle and beat godrick

i also totally forgot about that daughter with the dad inside mourne castle thing, even though i was more thorough with that place

probably missed my shot with those since the bosses are gone.

Yes, you have to attack down, look for player messages on the groud, I gave up because that boss is too hard

That was a joke about Capra demon in the face of that one tweet posted earlier where someone got pasted by a boss without even trying to dodge and refunded the game.

I am getting a little aggravated on the difficulty tbh

admittedly I am still technically in early game, but the boss difficulty seems to be "can the boss's fast combo kill you from full?" y: brickwall, keep at it! n: trivial encounter

that said, confessor friends; there's a faith merchant at home who sells catch fire, which for me is doing slightly more damage then the charge up then hit really hard art and uses up the same mana, but with range. it makes certain encounters dramatically easier

for magic friends in general I recommend going south, there seems to be a lot of sorcery and incantations both down there. I also got three? flask boosters down there so now they always fill my health which is a pretty huge quality of life booster. the area itself has the same difficulty as starter, feels nice.

read elsewhere that it wasn't great, which isn't surprising. weapons like that are usually silly gimmicks best used for PVP builds

Glintstone Arc is a really good spell for groups. There's a surprising number of situations in this game where enemies will clump together in front of you and that spell just lets you nail them all.

I think it really should be emphasized for people struggling that literally everything to the south and east of Stormveil (up until Caelid, where everthing starts to turn red) is all pretty low level, rewarding content that will be much easier than bashing your head against Margit/Godrick for hours. For example, by the time I went to Stormveil I think I was already up to 8 flask charges.

Right, I think Rune Arcs are basically the equivalent of Humanity or Embers (except now disconnected from co-op summoning) and the equippables are a way to customize them to get benefits you want, sort of how the Physick flask is like a build-your-own Estus.

Yeah I did the entire peninsula south, a bunch of stuff east (made it to the border of Caelid), and some stuff north. Wanna say I'm at 7 charges+4 with a +4 weapon and I haven't tried Margit yet.

Castle Morne spoilers, what the heck am I missing because it's still showing up with a grace line pointing towards it on the map?

I've beat Leonine Misbegotten, done the Irina and Edgar quest to completion, got all the sites of grace, looted everything and killed everything I can.

The only one I'm missing is Loretta's, and yeah... it's still just Glintstone Pebble. You can burn your bar on Cometshard (or Comet I guess, but I don't have 52 Int yet) to make things dead now, but that's really only applicable to farming. It's cool seeing big numbers pop up but unless you can kill a boss in ~21 (assuming they don't dodge) big numbers... welp.

I asked this before and the only thing I can think of is the map fragment. I've done the entire peninsula apart from one overworld boss but that's over in the west.
