So I put bleed onto the twinblade, and this thing has stupid levels of bleed build. At +7, it deals 81 bleed buildup, which is absolutely ridiculous considering how fast it attacks. I've been using it to chunk out big fleshy enemies like dragons and the wolf curved greatsword to chunk non-fleshy enemies. Also finally got Vit to 30, and End and Mind to 20, and it feels real good to be able to get 2 combos out and still be able to dodge without running out of stamina.

Bleed is ridiculous in this one, and it was already pretty good in DS3

I am extremely underwhelmed by my dex build thus far. Anyone having luck with one? Maybe a dex/faith or dex/int hybrid?

I'm loving my dex build. I'm using the Twinblade and Nightrider Flail.

i don't think i'd mind draconic tree sentinel so much if i could actually fight him on foot - i hate the feel of horse combat in this game, and i beat my head against the other one enough on foot to know his moveset - but they decided to give him a lightning strike spell that i'm fairly confident in saying is unavoidable if you don't have horse speed. i hate it!!!

I found the Greatsword in Caelis. Can I put bloody slashing it or is it considered unique? If not, are there any other comparable swords for a STR build that I can put bloody slash on?

When bleed is full they'll have a blood gush animation from generally the middle of the model and lose a huge chunk of health.

Bleed and frost are generally hilariously broken in my experience. Poison to a lesser extent, lightning for a handful of things.

This games not really clicking for me. I’ve been playing for a few hours and nothings really happening? I cleared out some caves and some ruins on the beach but I still don’t even know how to level up so I’ve lost thousands of souls at this point. I tried following the light path and it just took me to a gate with a shitload of archers and some giant rear end in a top hat who one shot me.

Im glad people seem to be enjoying it I guess, but this might be the first soulsborne that’s just not for me.

there's a place of grace right outside the entrance to the catacombs you start in, and another in the ruined church along the pathway north from there. try resting at them both, then rest at the place of grace at the gates and see what happens

It fucks off to right near the end of her questline. Its still optional there too, so you don't have to defeat it.

In Dark Souls you could specifically target tails on certain bosses and if you hit them enough you would cut them off and get a unique Tail Weapon.
