Am I missing something in Siofra River? I feel like I’m missing something. Here’s what I’ve done:

- Lit all of the fires and killed the ghost deer I think it unlocked
- Found a teleport that led to a tough dragon warrior thing and not much else
- Pretty sure I explored all of the ground level stuff, from the Limgrave entrance to the Caelid one
- Found a windbooster thing that let me access a tiny bit of the upper levels, I spotted what looks like a crucible knight in the distance but no idea how to reach him


I’m still relatively early on in the game (just godrick down) and idk if this is a “come back later” situation

Lore question(s):
Who attacked the Carian Manor? If it's Raya Lucaria, why did they attack the Carian Manor?

I just want to say, the couple of dungeons that try to trick you by repeating their layout and enemies are so so so good.

Clapping my hands and guffawing just thinking about them again

Very broad lore question, major spoilers:
i think I’m missing a major piece of lore because I don’t get why after killing morgott, every npc like “yeah sure burn the tree down :)”, I though everyone loved the erdtree

Neat lil pro-tip:
The Omen Shackles can not only dispel illusory walls in a wide area, but they can trigger those stone imp pillars that shoot flame, too!

IDK what they are either, but so far I skipped 2/3 of the hero graves because I heard they are bad and not worth doing

They're good

I think a patch made it so you don't die in one hit from the big robochariots anymore

So I am very new and don’t read the spoilers in the thread really but is a chariot also that rear end in a top hat thing in Fringefolk Hero’s Grave?

Can I get rid of that stupid fucker?

Yep, you can destroy it permanently, I dunno if you want the method too?

5a) Can I just ignore the slash/strike deal overall or is it a big deal for some bosses?

You can ignore damage types if you want and just brute-force your way through everything but some enemies are significantly weaker to strike damage than the other physical damage types, like the stone imps, the calcified miners, and especially the crystalmen. My MO when playing this game is, I keep two weapons levelled up, one with regular smithing stones and the other with somber ones, and make sure at least one of them is blunt

The only enemies I've found who are noticeably resistant to blunt damage are the masses of tentacles.

i thiiink miyasaki has already said they're working on an expansion in an interview (as well as outlining other projects), so we know it's coming at some point. but from also told us we were gonna get raytracing/global illumination, so who knows. on top of the performance quirks

was trying to find the interview where miyazaki talks about parallel projects, but found this instead

specifically brummie.

like Liurnia is a Welsh accent (Ranni's gang, Sellen, Rennala), Gideon Ofnir and Nephali have Yorkshire accents (Sean Bean northern), which is cool attention to detail that related characters have similar accents, but I think everybody's British in some way or another.

That is cool, I wonder who gets to make that kind of decision, considering it’s a Japanese studio that (as I understand it) makes the English VO the default internationally, but whose directors and creatives probably couldn’t themselves identify the differences between english regional accents
