ZeusCannon posted:Possibly Spoilery Quest question: Vague-post: From where you're at you can safely meet Blaidd and do Radahn Then you'll gain access to the capital and the Poo man quest begins. What you CAN'T do is go underground after Radahn and pick up the special knife from the spooky underground place that opens up only after Radahn.

I love Gideon. I love Gideon's armor. I love murdering Gideon for his armor.

dodgeblan posted:Elden Ring is the first from soft game that has good NPCs and great NPC storylines. Most people will get to experience them and get the jist of them without needing to use guides or anything. Alexander, Iiji, Ranni, Blaid, Rogier, Fia, Seluvis, Diallos, Prawn Man, Volcano Manor, Gideon, Dung Eater are all have fantastic little stories that would be made worse if you knew exactly where you were going to meet them. Not to mention, people LOVE Roderika and Hewg in a way that never happened for other hub characters, i.e. the Doll and Gehrman or anyone at Firelink. I suspect this is because of the active role the player takes in forming their relationship, but they're both so lovable it's hard not to like them regardless.

Unless you're maxing out weapons at the endgame you really really shouldn't need to farm. Spend that time being thorough with your exploration and helping noobs with bosses and you'll be swimming in runes.

I bit the bullet and respecced from dex/int to more of an int dominated build, mostly because I've been using sorceries more and more as the game has gone on. I still even with that don't have as much int as I'd like. I think I'm like level 75 with 25 mind, 26 end, 32 or so int, and maybe like 20 vigor? 16 dex I believe to use the brass shield. I suppose I could have gone less end but I like wearing heavier armor and being able to have both a melee weapon/staff equipped plus a shield. I've respecced my Nightrider Flail to be a magic flail and I'm using Moonveil as well now. I think now I'm gonna just pump int for a while to try and up my damage more. I just finished Caelid and I'm gonna be doing the Plateau next. For my second play I'm gonna go more offensive and either power stance something or do a str/faith build.

The dragons didn’t do anything to anybody, and I might just finish the game without killing them (except I killed Draco von Plague-O in Caelid; he was an ecological threat)

I'm surprised that was enough to get through Caelid, really. I would definitely not pump Int any more until you're at 30 or more Vigor, and the general advice is to get at least 40 (if not 50) by endgame. dodgeblan posted:Elden Ring is the first from soft game that has good NPCs and great NPC storylines.

I mean, fantastic little stories, sure, but half of them are just so easily missable that there's gotta be a halfway point between knowing exactly where you're going to meet them and having them just randomly appear out in the open world somewhere that you may or may not ever explore. I dunno if I ever would have found Dung Eater if I didn't know about dropping down that well in the middle of the capital, and I ignored Big Boggart completely after getting the necklace from him (until I googled it). Then you've gotta find Diallos at a random spot in the middle of Liurnia IIRC, finding Nepheli to progress Gideon requires groping around blindly without a map in a dark poison swamp, and there are people in this very thread who didn't spot the Talk to Ranni dialogue that only shows up at the very first Site of Grace when you find her. Hell, I was googling the quests for the most part, and I still missed some of the Ijii/Blaidd stuff, since I didn't go back for an update at the right time or something. They could definitely do something to improve the signposting without blowing up all the mystery.

The biggest problem quests stages are the ones that involve going back to places you'd never have any reason to. I know he escapes regardless, but how the heck am I supposed to know that Blaidd is in the Forlorn Hound Goal? Yeah I know the name is a hint but that place was also the home of the Bloodhound Knight. Also how was I supposed to know Blaidd was looking for the Bloodhound Knight when he only refers to him by a name I have no way to connect BHK to?

At least for Roderika it's also that she is written as someone who actively seems to give a poo poo about the main character's well being and the well being of others e.g Hewg. Also even with only being a bit into the game you can tell both characters are stoicly bearing up under incredibly lovely circumstances. Which i think we all appreciate more these days. Not looking forward to the inevitable (because its dark souls) shitstorm I will unwittingly inflict upon them.

I would definitely not pump Int any more until you're at 30 or more Vigor, and the general advice is to get at least 40 (if not 50) by endgame. Yeah I just checked my stats again and I guess my Vigor could use some work. I pumped it to 20 or so early in the game and then started working on other things. I do use a shield and typically wear heavy armor so maybe that's why I've mostly gotten away with it. I also usually wear Radagon's Talisman so my actual Vigor is more like 24-25 with that on I think. Still, I stopped raising it once I hit 21 and focused on other things for a while and you're probably right that I should work on it again.  Nothing really gave me too much trouble in Caelid other than the god damned bird mobs. According to the recommended level I'm above the recommendation for the Plateau so I don't expect to have an awful time there but I guess we shall see.

I’m pretty sure connecting the evergaol and Blaidd is the only quest-related thing that I actually didn’t have to look up when I encountered it! Probably because I found Blaidd right after getting my rear end kicked by Darri a bunch of times.

Harriet Carker posted:I gave Millicent a needle or something when I first met her and she got up and said she was going somewhere. That was about 60 hours ago and I haven't seen her since. I feel like this pretty much perfectly sums up my encounters with nearly every NPC in the game. At least Alexander is constantly like "I'm headin East to the Festival at Redmane Castle" or "I'm going North to the volcano" at the end of his dialogues. e: lmao i forgot, Gowry only mentions her sister after you've found her at the secret destination and given her the prosthesis, and Malenia after you buy an item that only becomes available at this point. So you literally have to find her without a single clue as to what her destination or even goals and motivation are. Ghostlight fucked around with this message at 02:08 on May 3, 2022 |

It’s ok to throw levels into endurance/mind here and there, but if you get health first and damage second, you’ll get your rear end kicked much less and then your attacks will slowly get more and more powerful. Int caps out at 80, you have plenty of time to level it later.

I guess because any time I found one of those Goal's I slammed my head into it until I won and then immediately forgot about them beyond the swag they held.

Especially as things get harder I'm gonna need a little more health probably to not have a bad time.

i think a paradigm people really need help getting over for a soulsgame is the idea that there's a certain style of play to adhere to depending on what they pick for their damage stat, only that they pick *a* damage stat and stick with it. you can be a dual greatsword wielding unga bunga build with nothing but int invested so long as you make your swords scale with int. you can cast all the incantations and sorceries you want as a strength build, all you need is to hit the int/faith breakpoints for what you want to cast and you're golden. you just need a single stat you want to crank for damage, and then make everything else fall in line.

Absolutely bonkers that art books, Alexander coffee mugs, Ranni dolls, grace lamps, and other merch isn't flooding stores. Have they never heard of Star Wars or Evangelion? The billion dollars from the hit media is the hard part. The 50 billion in merchandise is easy street.
