ymgve posted:Does the Volcano Manor line of quests lock out others? It seemed like something that would lead to a different ending and sounds PVP focused. I did the rune boss of that area anyway, but might follow the quest line if it doesn't have major consequences. Too late I'm afraid. If you killed the boss, then the NPCs are gone. I did the first invasion quest since I had it activated from before doing the boss, but going back, there's no one left to talk to. Completionist approach here looks like doing all the faction quests and only then mopping up the dungeon.

I don't know if anyone else has experienced this specific graphical issue but just in case: if you have an AMD card, turn on AMD Freesync and Radeon Anti-Lag, and that will get rid of the bright primary colour flickering that makes it look like your graphics card is dying

I spent a lot of time early on just sneaking, because I apparently bee-lined directly into a harder zone, skipping past all the baby-tier stuff after the Tree Sentinel murdered me. I still have no real idea what I'm doing, what's going on, etc, but oh well? Still fun. I've been following this guide for what areas to do at what level/weapon power. It's been pretty spot on so far. https://eldenring.wiki.fextralife.com/Game+Progress+Route

Arist posted:I'm level 82 and suspecting I might be outleveling the parts of the area I have to do next, namely the Volcano Manor and the Capital. Which of those two areas are easier, for the record? I'd like to do that one first so that I don't completely chump it after doing the hard one. Nah, you're fine. I saw a list that I more or less followed that was: 1-20 Limgrave and whatever the south is called 20-40 Stormveil and Cayelid/Lakes exterior 40-60 Academy/rest of Cayelid 60-80 Crater/Eternal City 80-100 Manor boss, Lake of Rot, Capital 100-120 Giants zone through the endgame

It's just a way to get some neat armor and an alternate way to get to the boss there. There's really only one ending path that's exclusive with any of the others, and even that has a way to back out (though it's not easy).

Also to clear the question volcano manor sidequest locks nothing out. You can just lock yourself out on the entire quest line if you don't wait till almost the end of the game before killing the main boss since one of the targets is in the mountains. They did a pretty good job of not having sidequests block one another from completion in this game. Completing things that advance the world state can cut you of from sidequests though

I finally beat Margit at level 37 as a pure mage, felt really good to not get owned. Already have +4 spell slots which is pretty sweet, and now two talisman slots. Still haven't found any amazing mage gear besides the gravity staff. Still leveling the demi-human staff as the stats aren't good enough to switch to it yet. Some of the mage armour sets I'm seeing online look amazing, but I think you don't find those until you are level 50+. Also, my favorite Ashes so far are a tie between the spear skeletons, who rise up when killed just as they do to you, and the demi-human pack who are amazing at distracting the enemy.

Man I love all the environmental "storytelling". You come across stuff and I'm constantly like "what's going on here? What's the deal here?" Like I was in the first idk layer of the captial, and there was this field that had been bombarded with, I assume, giant arrows. They were all just sticking out of the ground. What's going on there? What's up with that? I'm further into the capital now, all of the servants are just sitting there not even attacking me. They don't even look at me. What's happening around this gosh dang place? There's so much of that in this game, it's very cool. I'm excited to read the wiki in several months when folks have worked out what is going on in this world.

Verisimilidude posted:Do AI write these articles or something? https://gamingintel.com/elden-ring-sorcery-spell-effects-locations-requirements/ Very likely yes. There's a million of those sites with professional sounding names like that, they pop up whenever you google for something in a game. I'm pretty sure they're just there to scrape other sites, game the search algorithm, and then sell ads for as little cost as possible.

psychoJ posted:I have a general lore question for anybody who may know. What's up with those stone centipedes/caterpillars near the evergaols? What's their purpose? as the resident lore expert, they're just cool little dudes the evergaols mostly seem to hold bosses who are throwbacks to previous soulsborne games, in both mechanics and appearance. like there's a Boreal Knight and a Cainhurst Vileblood and so on, just cute little easter eggs. one or two of them seem to have plot-relevant NPCs that were involved in the conspiracy to steal the Rune of Death but none of them really talk to you or anything so it's hard to tell more than that

Oxyclean posted:Looking for some exploration hints regarding the Academy: I finished the area / cleared the boss, but there was a few spots I couldn't get to, and I'm not sure if I missed something, or if entry lies elsewhere (teleport): It looks like there's an upper floor/balcony to the Debate Parlor, as well, while crossing the rooftops in the area after the Debate Parlor, I saw an interior to a bell tower and some rooftops I couldn't figure out how to get to because the jump looked very much not possible, but they look in bounds because I saw an enemy over on them. When you leave the debate room out into the big courtyard, immediately go right. No idea about the rooftops though, I'm puzzled by that as well.

If you're using Carian Blade or Glintstone attacks then their respective staffs can be better after 10+ but after I got Lusat's staff to a decent level(+3 is when it changes to S Int scaling) it seemed to outperform everything else. I'm not sure why but magic is very frontloaded in terms of the good stuff. Also you'll find the throw stones spell is useful for a lot of bosses because of the knockdown effect it builds up.

Hoarfrost Stomp is as insanely OP as they say.  Got Radahn down on the first try just by spamming it. Having a huge powerful AoE attack that isn't like a once-per-rest cast is a new one for a Souls game. Some part of me feels like it's cheating but it just feels so satisfying that I don't want to stop.

I finally added an ash to my weapon. A butt stomp. It's nearly one shotting all the bigger suit guys in the castle and staggers them enough to simply finish them off with a follow up strike. I should have done this at the start, not 27 levels in.

This was with 40 vit. Get on horse, ride sideways from where he went up. I just full-speeded the horse and it ended up a fair bit away from me. Maybe also jump and/or change direction as it comes down? I don't know dawg, only had to fight him once and the meteor wasn't close. I just never stopped hauling rear end when he went up.
