Man this game keeps on giving the Billy Mays "But wait, There's more!" with how massive these areas are.

You can fit the entirety of Dragon's Dogma's world into Limegrave alone.

I love how there are so many good things around to click with that just feel satisfyingly and powerful to use. My favourite kind of balance is just make everything good in its own way.

Find Iji. He's a giant a little bit north of the Northern Liurnia Lake Shore on the west side of the map. A little past where you can find the map for the area. I literally just found him and I want to kiss him. He sells 1, 2, 3 and 4 somber smithing stones for 2000, 3000, 4000 and 6000 respectively.

not somber ones, just the regular kind

I mean... you are. Sorcery has always been a cool alternate playstyle in these games but it's basically a way to avoid engaging with the Actual Game while still getting to see the sights. It has its own set of challenges ofc but nothing like needing to master a boss fight in melee range.

You say this and yet these fuckers are constantly in my face and I gotta dodge dodge doooodge

Who else has transferred your crimson/cerulean flask use button to your pouch (Y+dpad) over having it in your items?

I've found having a consistent key bind for it has helped me want to use items during a fight way more, and stopping fumbling around when I need to heal, for instance.

What the hell is wrong with the east side of the map? Why did I go there to explore? Why there are so many loving HUGE dragons? What the gently caress

Am I supposed to go there at high level? I'm scared.

Weapons with split damage get resistance checks for every type of damage. Split damage is normally worse than a pure damage weapon unless you're exploiting weaknesses.

I agreed to take some guys place providing food to his boss and ended up being teleported to the far East. It worked out in the end because I found some good equipment, but it was kind of nerve racking getting back to a safer zone.

This is a good idea I'm going to do it. I often end up playing finger puzzles while running away looking for my flasks.

This sounds like a good idea. I'm currently scrolling through like, Mimic Veil and Horse Summon and Summon Skeletons that I'm not using 99% of the time.

So clunky to get from 1 potion to my other potion

I enjoy when bosses have a mid fight cutscene where my character is apparently just taking five and waiting until they power up. Dragon ball style.

Speaking of changes, I loving L O V E the triangle+d-pad item shortcuts. I have both healing and estus flasks and being able to have them available regardless of what item I’m using is fuckin great.

Hell yeah brother that turtle shield kicks rear end, I got it a while ago and it has never left my person. Barricade Shield is super good, plus it passively boosts stamina regen so it is just a better Grass Crest Shield

I'm surprised nobody but me is talking about this weapon. I wish I remembered where I got it because Icerind Hatchet's weapon art by far most OP thing I've used in the entire game. this the kind of weapon you'd thinik guides would tell new players to bumrush because it just beats so many things. Hoarfrost Stomp is the ultimate crutch, aoe cone that fire fast, staggers and damages, then staggers and applies frost and big damage. For one button press You can slaughter entire groups, you can chain-stomp bosses during their wake-up phase and get them to less than half health before they even act.

I'm at a point now where I'll use my daggers and fun stuff on enemies and bosses, until I get my rear end kicked or nearly kicked, then I switch to Icerind Hatchet to remind the enemies I'm just here to win.

I put the art of war this weapon uses on my uchigatana and now it does frostbite and bleed and scales with my prisoner’s int and dex.

It is also insane how good the skill is (it probably needs a nerf). I dont even really use sorcery anymore unless i need to get something at range.

On another topic, I respecced to a Dex/Int build to use Moonveil and I'm having a blast with this thing. I'm considering dual-wielding it with a cold-infused Uchigatana once I get enough smithing stones to upgrade it (did you know that even if you dump all your smithing stones into a Longbow to make it +17 it still sucks but now you don't have any more smithing stones?? :eng101:)

What bow should you dump all your stones into then?
