Switching from pure mage to pure physical melee feels good man. STR build so I can use all the cool big weapons. These Ashes of War skills are neat as hell. I'm getting a few of them dropping now, but I'm worried about just slapping them on a regular weapon. I want to try them all out, can you get duplicates of them all?

man, it's rough going from Stormveil castle where I've spent the past few hours at a solid 60fps with very little stuttering, back out into a new zone where poo poo's gotta cache again and my framerate drops to the 40s

Also if you get handed a weapon by an NPC that you can't use see if it has an art you like. *Laughs in art of war: glintstone phalanx*

The pouches are a dope addition, it really minimizes time spent in menus and feels very intuitive. I keep my horse whistle, horse berries, the telescope and whatever my favorite spirit summon usually is. The speed in which you can launch all this stuff is great. Don't sleep on your horse berries, they're a 1 to 1 craftable item with the most common ingredient in the game. Feeding my horse at full speed as we safely evade a dragon dive-bombing me. What a game.

causticBeet posted:Is there a reason to care about all of the crafting stuff? What is the point to all these marker things and random plants I am picking up? I have so many random flesh pieces and herbs and widgets that I have no idea what I’m supposed to use or pay attention to Consumables. Stuff like firebombs, resins, temporary buffs, status-curing items, status arrows/bolts/knives, etc. There's a shitload of stuff to make. It's not strictly necessary to use any of them, but there's so many materials strewn around everywhere you might as well make poo poo with them.

The craftables are legitimately useful, it’s easy to do, and ignoring them just because you “hate crafting” is pretty dumb imo. It takes like 5 seconds to make fire grease and it’s a strong buff

I'm mostly avoiding any Elden Ring info (because I can't play yet, waiting for the new controller I ordered to come in) but I have two extremely specific questions: 1. Are fist builds good, as with Dark Souls 2? 2. If so: How early on are you likely to get ahold of proper fist weapons?

I mean there's a slight difference between some schmuck and someone who is paid to do this, but it did bring up that the summons teleport around. So run around the hill where he can't hit you, then go nuts summoning when he activates. Hidden rules, etc. Beat him first try after that. Didn't grab his spear, unfortunately, but I'm pretty sure this will be the first From title I don't platinum so meh. Edit: Oh, heh. His spear is just a greatarrow and they're for sale now. Cool.

Killed Godrick with the NPC's help at level 31 (mage). He didn't feel that bad. I was basically one shotting everyone in the castle. I got mind/int to 25 each and now i'm working on dex enough so that i can use a good mage sword.

Took me about 6 times on Godrick, I think the best way of all the ways I tried was popping the jellyfish on stage two, it's such a tank it's crazy and it's really when you need the distraction.

redreader posted:Help. Playing on PC with PS5 controller. Everything was working fine but now I have a new bug. This didn't happen before: at any merchant, the cursor now goes to the bottom and stays there. If I press up, the cursor goes to the bottom row of items. I can only buy stuff from the bottom row now. D-pad down on my gamepad works fine during gameplay. I tried restarting and no dice. Can't help, just to say I have experienced this intermittently on PC as well using a xbox one controller. I've updated the firmware, switched cables, gone wireless, even tried a different older controller and it doesn't seem to make any difference to the problem occurring, though often the game just runs fine but then suddenly I can't use the dpad to move around in merchant screens or in my inventory. It's super weird and if anybody has a solution please help us!

Any good farming spots to make weapon grease? I've found a couple of spots with 5-10 'rare' plants all growing in a small area, I figure there must be something similar for most recipe items. All this mount talk reminds me I just figured out you could use the running dismount into a jumping attack to really shake some bones at the start of combat.

Like I'm pretty sure they did the pouch slots specifically for the horse call, didn't they give the tutorial for it at the same time that you get the horse?
