There's a big mob of blood skeletons or whatever just down the road of the first site of grace that I go to when I want to farm some runes.

You really don't need to farm enemies for runes in this game. I'm like 2/3rds to 3/4ths through atm and level 109 just from the souls I get from boss drops and whatnot. Although naturally I've been running all over the place and killing loads of side bosses etc too, not just the main story stuff.

What the gently caress is wrong with the sewers under Leyndell? I almost had a panic attack from, well, everything down there. Jesus Christ this game is massive and horrifying, maybe moreso than Bloodborne. Speaking of, two things: I reached uhhh the bottom and followed some messages, and the three fingers touched me and now Melina is hella pissed and threatened to take away Torrent. Did I just screw myself out of Content? The red map marker in the forbidden lands, which I have not ventured into, is now gone. And I returned to Roundtable Hold hoping I had done something for Dung Eater but no go. Do I have to go back there?

Barudak posted:You can access quite literally something like 3/4ths of the world map from the world go. Try the souther island instead of soldiering onimgrave I'd wager a bit more than 3/4ths. The only areas really locked off are Nokron, the capital city, and the like...two? Three? areas gated behind the city all of which are pretty small compared to the big three main areas and while it doesn't seem like bosses give that many runes, with how easy a lot of dungeons are to blast through, and how often you find fog gates in random rear end ruins; the runes pile up and it's not uncommon to just wind up with tens of thousands of runes just exploring. The other night I just accidentally lost over a hundred thousand trying to platform my way down to the beach in eastern caelid because I thought I only had ten thousand. I know you get there normally after the redman boss fight, but I wanted to see if I could get there early.

This game is great. I start climbing a ladder at the end of ravine, sand after many more ladders I fight a maga wyrm or some poo poo, ride an elevator to the top of some cliffs, then I find a path that goes up more ladders and mountains and after scaling everest I end up fighting a rock beast in a volcano caldera. Exploration in this game is so rewarding because it's always something interesting

If you go to the south part of Caelid you can get those awful velociraptor dogs to chase you into a bunch of soldiers and then park on the sidelines and watch them go at it for a few thousand runes.

I'm pretty sure my route through the game is extremeely unoptimizd and basic. About how long does it take a normal person to get to respec? I have the mat already. Right now I'm thinking a paladin style build, I'm all over the place right now with stats and to the other new players reading this, spreading your stats out will catch up to you sooner than latter. A vet can correct me or maybe it comes back around but goddamn.

Hmm, I'm frankly not sure if we used the same sewer as I didn't find a catacomb there. Did you enter the Subterranean Shunning Grounds? If so, keep pressing on. You need to find a lift down.

So after ignoring ER for a week, I started it up tonight and tried to make some actual progress. I've made it up to the first (?) boss, Margit. I can handle the first half of the fight pretty well, by keeping at a distance, and baiting out the leap attacks and punishing. However, the second half (or second third?) is what I'm having trouble with. Margit gets way more intense with the number close range attacks, and I can't seem to dodge them all. I've only gotten him down to a quarter of a health bar once, with most other attempts fizzling out after hitting half-health. Could it be that I'm too low level? Here's my current stats: code:

I’m at 60 hours and still haven’t gone to the Altus Plateau yet lmao. Ranni’s sidequest: The long journey underground is just incredible. You just keep going down deeper and deeper, every time you think you’ve seen the whole thing the game shifts the goalposts again and you descend even farther down. It has a very strong SoTN feel

Interesting Q: Would anything stop you from running straight to the Clitstone Dragon, getting the key, entering Raya Lucaria and whupping Rennala? It seems like the biggest challenge would be Redmane. Don't ask me what a new character needs a respec for, but it seems very doable.

But you need blunt weapons or magic to kill the miners. Slashing is no bueno.

As people have stated you can go all over the place and do stuff as you please. The accessible part of the map is probably 8 times bigger than you think it is, but 58 is ridiculously high for stormveil castle imo. I did it at 25 and felt properly leveled until the end boss who I came back to at 35.

To be honest if you're playing melee the most important thing for the first four bosses is your weapon's level. A +6 weapon is like 20 or more levels of damage in raw stats. You can obliterate Godrick and Rennalas dungeons and fights if you have more than that.

Yeah weapon level is the basis on which I've been tackling things. Margit seems about right at +4 and Godrick +7. I think I did renetta at +10 or something and they all felt like I was in the intended range.

Just unlocked respec and went all in on faith to use the holy lightsaber fists and they do a hell of a lot of damage. Made it to Altus via the coward's path, which is an extremely good soul farming area. The stronger enemies there are guaranteed to drop rune items. I was collecting 5k+ runes as a summon, every run, without fighting the boss
