For some reason the game loves giving me network disconnects on PS5 and booting me back to the menu, I assume everyone is playing this and it's beating their servers into a bloodstain. Game's real fun besides that

I sat down at a grace and immediately left to take care of something else, and when I came back the level up NPC was apparently talking to me and asked me something. Now I’m in some weird place with a big table. What did I miss?

Yeah, I'm three or so hours in and haven't seen any Margit. I did take a great big old detour, ran into and killed Boaty McBoatface. The conversation afterwards at the Roundtable was funny

Him: Ah, I see you heeded my advice not to go there.

Me: *shows trophy I got for winning that*

Him: Ah, I see you are a fool

Seems like I'm having slightly better luck with Margit rolling at his attacks rather than away, since there's no outranging his bullshit with how small the area is. And by slightly better I mean I can get him to about 3/4s of the way dead before being murdered by a charge to hellcombo

Nonsense. I have not yet begun to defile myself.

Seems like you can reliably knock off his first phase just by keeping aggro on you instead of your summon (if you hit Margit last then Margit will come after you. If your summon hit Margit last he will go after the summon). And then that falls apart come phase 2 since he'll just rush and murder the gently caress out of your summon, but yeah

Accidentally discovered you can knock Margit down and get a backstab on him by jump R2ing his back, but not sure the exact spot or timing of it, just that it happened twice. Helpful

I dunno, at least Father Guacamole didn't fight you in an area where backing up too far one way is an instadeath by falling, and backing up the other way is an instadeath by getting pinned on a wall

And I beat Margit. Through the cheapest way possible, bringing in that summon outside the door and a jellyfish, then playing hit him in the back whenever he wasn't paying attention. But gently caress it, I'll take it

Admittedly I didn't get the jellyfish until much later because I didn't know you have to talk to Horny For Spiders lady twice before she hands it over

funny that Margit has 42% completion by players, and (early boss name)Misbegotten has only 23% completed when imo the latter was considerably easier, though getting there was a bit dicier.

They also felt like diametrically opposed bosses. Margit required playing sort of defensively because he has boatloads of HP. The other one I just had to go ham on him because he's super aggressive and playing defense would get me killed.

Did I gently caress up the Irena quest? I delivered her letter. But when I came back to her, she was dead.

That's how the quest goes. You can return to her father again, which gets him to move off to the corpse and comment but that's about it. The real goal is his greatsword on the other side of the castle

Level 28, still can't beat Margit even using a spirit.

Done a lot of exploring in this game and really tried not to rush to this boss but whenever I come back I can barely even get him halfway. I dunno man.

Take advantage of how his aggro works. He goes for whatever hit him last, if it was you he goes after you, if it was your summon he goes after your summon. So let him get plinked by the jellyfish or whatever, wait until he stomps off after it, run in and get a cheap shot before your summon dies. He comes after you next, get away from him until the summon hits him. Repeat until dead

This works much better if you bring in Roger from outside his boss door, then he has to split his attention in another direction in addition to your summon

Hahaha, so I spent so much time trying to go through death birds, wind knights and ogres in Stormveil in avoidance of the giant army at the front gate. After all that of course I had to make a return trip to power Godrick's rune. After seeing where I had to go on the map, I sprinted left from the gateside Grace point, took out all the ballista and a few guards, and suddenly I was at the door to the flamethrower goons. I probably could have been at Godrick in about a minute if I'd done this initially.

Banging my head off the wall on Dragonkin. He's one of those bosses that should not be difficult on paper, except he's so big that the game forces a weird camera angle where nothing is visible except a big blob of him filling the screen when he gets close

lol I was getting oddly tilted at Magma Wyrm, another of those bosses that should have been easy except sometimes he spams that waddle and leave flames attack forever with nothing to do except die about it. Then I went in forgetting my summon and getting the jellyfish killed really early, decided it was a wash and started swinging for the fences with the Mournsword. He dies

Been kind of aimlessly wandering ever since Godrick trying to figure out where I'm going next. Ended up at the volcano, through a giant tunnel of poison and jerks, and find the Rot Twins who literally kill me before I can move.

So I was half figuring "I'm not supposed to be here yet" and half figuring "I'm way too far into this mine with no grace point to leave now." Eventually learned to not fear the poison that room starts you in, stick up shield, block the opening death salvo and run away to call skeletons. Then they died with minimal fuss, turns out they're bigger glass cannons than I am :v:

Strange, ran all the way to Redmane, found the Impossible Bridge or whatever it is, but no enemies were anywhere there or at the castle until I made my way all the way to the edge. Then I killed a few bats, scaled a ladder, ran into what looks like the only door to progress but it's sealed shut. I'm assuming this is a very odd bug.

Managed to progress the Ranni quest all the way to Astel and oh boy, he combines all the greatest hits. Teleporting constantly to the wrong side of the arena (except when sometimes he teleports right next to you for a OHKO grab), being big as gently caress so the camera won't behave itself, sometimes just spamming AOE for fun until you die. Feels like he'd be pretty easy for a range build but melee on him is no fun at all
