gently caress MARGIT

This boss is the single most infurating poo poo I have ever dealt with in Soulsborne, that includes Friede and Isshin. I feel like I need to grind 100 more levels. gently caress this bullshit boss so goddamned much.

I want to play but I can't decide on a starting class and/or build. Ugh.

Samurai comes with a Bow, a Katana, and Quality-Build starting stats. It's real good.

I think Ulcerated Tree Spirit is bugged. After landing 2 criticals it simply stopped attacking. Literally frozen in place while I wail on it.

Where tf is Ulcerated Tree Spirit, seems like everyone has fought this guy except me

Use a Stone Key on the imp statue in the tutorial cave. There's also a Talisman down there that's effectively the Ring of Favor from previous souls games.

I didn't realize they changed how invasions worked. You can only get invaded if you're already co-oping with someone. This is a perfect change, absolutely love it.

I like fighting off invaders and have been wondering why none have shown up for a scrap.

I have a neeeeeeeed.

I found an Ash that adds bleeding. Along the road to Mistwood is a Noble who asks you to take his fort back. Do that and the NPC you fight at the top of the fort drops it.

Sigh, gently caress this bloodhound knight boss. No matter what i do, he's too fast for me. I can't dodge, i can't block and i cant even move away from him to recover at all.

Is there some gimmicky way to beat him?

Unironically stay close to him. His swings are super telegraphed and he never attacks more than 3 times. Punish his openings, especially after his big overhead swings or his jump. He's also vulnerable to bleed.

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.

Are you playing with a blindfold on? The guy outside the tutorial cave tells you exactly what you need to do. Follow the golden wisps to a site of grace, receive maiden, now you can level up. There's even one right in front of the gate with the archers and giant.

I'm dual-wielding the Ice Rapier+Antspur Rapier so everything I freeze gets Scarlet Rot. It's super handy vs bosses and tanky foes like the sewer Ogres.

Or a chainsaw. Every attempt I've made on this boss has ended abruptly with this boss becoming an unstoppable blender. It's RNG bullshit. If the boss decides not to use Waterfowl, I have a chance of winning. Otherwise I'm hosed.
