beep by grandpa posted:Need some help - I finally stumbled upon where to unlock using the Great Rune that I got from Godrick but I am sitting on a mountain of regular runes that I don't seem to be able to use (jump attack damage, etc) Ok so the jump attack thing is a talisman. It's basically the same thing as a ring except you unlock more talisman slots by finding these items called talisman pouches. Great runes just sit in your inventory and do nothing, until you use a Rune Arc consumable item which activates their special buff.

CharlestheHammer posted:To be fair while people say that boss is supposed to make you explore the world the game actively shoving you that way is a bit of a mixed message on that You're never "shoved" that way. It's on you if a game gives you a giant unexplored map and a horse but the only thought is to follow the objective marker.

My most recent "what the gently caress is going on" moment was in Stormveil Castle in the room where you meet Rogier. Except when I discovered that room I was being attacked by the big knight and his bodyguard that are patrolling outside and had no idea it was a "safe room", so I was fighting them and making some distance and suddenly my weapons just didn't work anymore. Of course that didn't stop them from coming in and destroying me while I was confused and worried that my controller was broken. Seems like maybe they should have made safe rooms actually safe and not let enemies follow you in there.

Scruffpuff posted:Back in the day I played Pool of Radiance on the C64. If you followed the quests in a linear fashion, you'd get curb-stomped by a Troll group trying to clear the slums (literally the first quest in the game.) Games were different back then, so the prevailing attitude was "I'll go somewhere else and finish those guys off when I'm stronger." In fact, doing so was considered common sense, and I don't remember reports of people getting stuck on what could be considered a wall.

CharlestheHammer posted:Fight it with a horse, those lasers can’t keep up with horse I don't care all that much for the horse combat for larger bosses, I'd rather have my dodge and normal attacks. I don't mind attack too much, there's cover and you can circle around and dodge the beams, but it's just such a waste of time. Doubled with the boss making GBS threads out toxin blood or whatever that blends in perfectly with the pink sand and orange sky. It's a lot of area denial with beams and getting a DOT on you that I'm just sitting around for better positioning. Also the whole "pick up your experience after death or lose it" thing is really stupid in a open world title where I can easily be in an area I'm not leveled for and want to go try something else on death. In Bloodborne and Sekiro I feel it was definitely warranted, but here it sucks.

IronicDongz posted:apparently the reason that you only get 70% of runes back from your bloodstain in stormveil castle is because that "go the other way, the guards won't know you're coming tehe" is stealing them. if you kill him you get them back and will go back to recovering 100% runes after death again. What the fuuuuuck I must have 10k+ souls with this rear end in a top hat by now I was wondering what was going on

Nah that’s not shoving that’s rail roading and I feel less games do that now a days. Hell realistically this game holds your hand way more than any of the other souls borne games.

That's true, not just the critical path, even the NPCs can get real chatty. quote:Alexander moves to a cave somewhere after you rescue him. He may be there. (I can't remember where it is though) He goes to Gael Tunnel and waits there until you unlock the door. No idea if he goes there without being freed.

That's funny. I'm playing this on PS4pro and earlier today I wasn't too impressed with how the game looked. Came back this evening and fiddled with the brightness and saturation a bit, and that coupled with the fact there is no longer any glare on the TV has changed everything 100% for the better, this game is great looking. I don't normally play fantasy RPGs but this will be one I spend a ton of time on just due to how cool the art style is. Although I have a tendency to be stupid-bad at games that require tight blocking timing so hopefully I don't get too frustrated. Any must-do's for a souls-newbie samurai currently dicking around at the stormhill shack area? How do I deal with the anxiety of having to lose all me runes every time I die to strong enemies? Where should I go for some weapons and armor? Tumble fucked around with this message at 00:12 on Feb 28, 2022 |

Where is everyone getting their Erdtree Flowers from (for summoning other players)? I go to the staring area and do a loop on my horse. Also I was 20 or so hours into this game before realising you don't have to hold down the sprint button for your horse to sprint.

So I don't know if I'm just breaking the game or what, but has anyone else noticed that co-op seems to be tied to certain, sometimes arbitrary, bosses? Me and my friend killed the tree sentinel and then couldn't summon in the first area anymore. Even when we went down to the nearby swamp to try and summon one another to fight the boss down there. So for anyone else who might be playing with friends: make sure you clear out an area before you beat bosses.Leo posted:Anyone have a favorite strength weapon so far? I really like the bricklayer mace or whatever but feel weird upgrading something that doesn’t seem like it should be that good. The Greatsword. But I just found the Zweihander so I'm gonna upgrade that and see how it do.

It's okay because I fought an elemental version of it earlier that didn't bug out and had way more hp

A bit of advice for people still early in the game. I'll put it under spoilers but this is some just-after-Margit stuff. Please, please, please find Nepheli near the Stormveil Castle courtyard before you kill Godrick. Exhaust her dialogue, and then summon her for the fight. Then immediately go to Roundtable Hold and find her there. If you don't do this, you will be permanently locked out of this game's version of Havel's Ring. I found this out the hard way and I would like to spare others the sadness.
