Stalins Moustache posted:Do the golden markers leading away from the bonfires mean anything? I made my way to the southern region where I was asked to deliver a letter to a castle. I went to the castle, delivered the letter, killed the boss, got an achi, but the map still has those golden markers leading south. Did I miss anything? They don't seem to go away when you finish them, they just sort of point to the zones primary objective.

Barudak posted:The triangular brass shield early enemies drop is the best medium shield and is so stupidly good that greatshields feel like something you should only ever do if your maximizing strength exclusively, and even them you'll get mostly small gains. Yeah the Brass Shield feels like the best shield that's been in a souls game since the Grass Crest Shield in DS1 before it got nerfed. It's crazy how good it is relative to everything else. And it's kind of a rare drop which sucks.

Mid gamish? radahn can suck a fat one. Fromsoft really be pushing the limit on some of these bosses. Naturally beat it right after posting. For those who need help: use your horse and let your summins do as much as possible. combine that with hit and run tactics and youll make it. also just dont bother summoning patches. no idea how anyone would beat this on a lvl1 run or without hitting up rennas (?) questline.

Or lob some firebombs/fireballs at them to blow up their barrels from underneath them

RevolverDivider posted:Oh god this is loving horrifying. It’s apparently not a bug with input delay it’s a change from the previous game to roll on release instead of roll on press yep, and it loving stinks if you're on PC, you can do what i did, which is set up an AHK macro for a specific button to make it register keypress down on your dodge and then immediately register keypress up, and then just bind sprint to a different button

Summoning in like 9 people to all bum rush him at the top of the hill and getting wiped out anyway was one of the high points so far. Think he's a bit beyond my means at level 36, going to come back later.

Personally I think this is one of the easier From games simply because I can just go somewhere else if I don't feel like fighting a boss and then come back more powerful and stomp on whatever it was giving me trouble. That's what I did for Margit, I turned him into paste with a +8 Longsword and Godrick died on the very first attempt, which was very underwhelming but also funny.

Those enemies have pretty low posture and a single shield counter is enough to knock them out of the air and leave them stunned on the ground where you can easily finish them off. Might be weapon dependent though.

I feel like ER here is kinda stingy with the runes here. I'm in Stormveil Castle after giving that one loving guy a well deserved stomp after i went and upgraded a bit, and now I'm fighting some hairy poo poo that still pays out as well or even worse then those goobers back out in the country. 98 runes for one of those loving hawks with sword feet AND a flamethrower? Cheapskate jerks!

I explored all over the place and ended up with a +2 weapon and loads of higher-tier mats I couldn't use. I finally found enough tier 1 shards to get to +3 and then instantly zipped to +8.

C'mon game i need like a big pile (or vendor) of the basic level 1 smith stones please. It's not the end of the world, but i blew a bunch on a random greatsword then like 10 minutes later found a claymore and that's one of my favorites! But i can't enhance the drat thing now. And as much as i love this zweihander, i have a bunch of ashes that just don't work on it, however the fact that it's +6 makes it hard to set aside for these less souped up swords even to experiment with them. e: Judge Tesla posted:It's probably related to the fact I skipped Stormveil Castle without realizing it since I just went exploring around the side and found myself in Liurnia at like Lv 6 (I picked Wretch) and then got myself teleported right outside the Wizard School so I've had a much wider range of areas than many people here to look around in. If wizard school happens to have a few stones i'm leaving this stupid castle and heading there now (well, tomorrow)

Beat Margret the Fell on my first try. Glinting Pebble, a jellyfish, and an NPC made him a bitch. I could see how melee builds would have s tough time though. He hits like a freight train.

grafted maybe it's just because i'm getting the game better but grafted felt a lot easier than margit. also the time I beat him he bugged out and didn't go into his second phase.I felt guilty about that so i co-oped until i helped someone beat him. The grab in the second phase is hilarious. GODKILLER FLAME what the gently caress i used all my stored soul items to by this drat black flame weapon and it lasts for like literally 7 seconds. What am I supposed to do with that?!!?

Think he's a bit beyond my means at level 36, going to come back later. Big agree. The spectacle is pretty amazing. Think i hust beat him around lvl 38 but I'm also sort of stuck on figuring out what the natural progression through the game is supposed to be. Already did godrick and fools idol/ rom mashup woman and id gotten up to that boss relatively easy. Maybe im just not utilizing all the available mechanics. Game still amazing though- fromsoft really do make you feel the lowest lows before you hit the highest highs

if you beat the mariner, D will mark a place on your map you can get to. if you go there, and leave out the big door and sneak past the Big Boi that will try to get you, there are little goblin things that give you 1096 per kill. you can farm about 15 of them in a few minutes (backstab them they are strong if you are lower level). there's even another grace way down by a bridge that you can make your spawn point big trivia FAIL fucked around with this message at 07:26 on Feb 27, 2022 |

Before I take the plunge and commit to upgrading a weapon for a while, are there any really obviously rad-tastic quality or STR weapons in the first area? I've already found the large club, zweihander, and greataxe, and if I don't find something pancake-ier in the next bit that's probably where I'll end up.
