avoraciopoctules posted:I definitely had a rough time with them. There's not enough space to let the jellyfish soak up aggro, and as a mage I think it might be resistant to glintstone attacks. I'd probably just pass on it till way later, I looked up the reward and it doesn't look game-changing. I ended up using Carian Slicer to basically fight him like I was a melee class.

goferchan posted:Probably? But when you meet the second guy you get a talisman that lets you scale incantations with strength. If you go back and talk to D again he goes to roundtable hold and becomes a vendor and sells the holy enchantment incantation, which is really good at just adds like a flat 77 damage to my sword right now oh neat, I'll see if I got that. I went back but D was missing from that spot I found him in. I'll have to look around.

I'm also running the game on an NVME drive, if that helps at all. I'm pretty sure GRRM's sole contribution are the characters names of Goddfrey and Godrick or some such generic poo poo

Harrow posted:I honestly don't think these games would lose anything if weapon upgrading went away and stat scaling was higher from the start instead, so all the damage increases came from stat scaling instead of upgrading. That's especially true assuming Elden Ring uses DS3's level matching logic which includes weapon upgrade levels, so they don't even let you twink out a character for invasions anymore. This has been my thought since DS2, but man. So much of From's design is ingrained and horribly dated. The only reason I can think of for the current system is to have a highly valued, generic lootable, and because it's the same way it's always been.

I wonder if The First Boss is supposed to be as much of a roadblock as he seems to be, or if this is a function of players approaching the game like Dark Souls and failing I think it's players following the markers right into his rear end and getting wrecked. I explored a fuckton before running into his area, and frankly he was easier than some of the bosses that I still haven't beaten around the zone. I can't imagine what it would be like to run straight to him.

Cardboard Fox posted:The worst feeling would be a slow decline until mid-late game where I go from being an unstoppable god to barely able to kill basic mobs. Being a sorcerer early game right now seems OP not only due to the spells, but also not having to deal with melee bosses which are some of the most aggressive I've seen in a Souls game. Being able to sit back and do damage while they complete their 12-point combo feels very OP right now. You'll always kill basic mobs. Unless they have a shield, then you're screwed. Bonus points for Tree Sentinel, who has a shield that reflects back a spell that does an obscene amount of damage. Running around the open world you can engage things fairly safely. Even if the second required boss wasn't literally immune to magic, there weren't a number of effectively-immune-due-to-shield minibosses, you didn't have a hard cap on damage due to blue juice amount, and grinding more diminishing returns Int wasn't your only strategy... it's still just casting the one spell. If you get enough blue juice and Int and Mind you can look at casting a higher tier of the same spell as long as it's against something you massively outlevel and will die before you run out of blue juice. I really, really wanted magic to be a thing this time around but... yeah.

mcmagic posted:I ended up using Carian Slicer to basically fight him like I was a melee class. That sounds pretty badass, actually. When I get back home after work, I'm gonna give it a shot. I think I'm level 30ish now, and I don't want to check out Stormveil until I'm at least level 40. I'll practice on some giants since they are good XP, then see if I can survive picking a fight with a bear using my sick laser sword. Mailer posted:You'll always kill basic mobs.

Running around the open world you can engage things fairly safely. That's really a shame. I was doing OK on fighting shielded soldiers in the starter area and waiting for openings to zap the mirror shield guy with glintstone darts from angles where he couldn't reflect, but if they get better shielding techniques later on things are gonna get pretty rough. I'm still gonna stick it out to 60+ Int, though. I refuse to miss out on being able to chuck giant blue explosions around, even if the spoilers I've looked up suggest that the re-spec is locked behind beating the magic-immune queen boss. I'll just have to get to level 120 or so before I take them on. EDIT: I have also heard that you only need to defeat some of the big super-lord bosses to unlock the next phase of the game after that. If that's true, maybe you can skip the boss that is a hard counter to your build

In Castle Morne and I thought I've finished it, but the sites of grace at the lift and rampart all still have those lines, which I think indicate "still something to do here"? I delivered the letter to the king, went back to the daughter but she was dead, killed the boss, talked to the King again, he thanked me then he left next time I checked on him. I found three other Sites of Grace in the castle (Behind Castle, Beside the Gaol, and Moangrave/boss arena. Is there something else I"m missing?
