So on my fresh character here's something weird I've noticed: starting right off the bat, I ran to margit, murdered him but haven't killed my first rune boss yet. None of the mines in the game seem to be spawning their ore nor is the bell bearing hunter showing up at any of his locations.

Try night

I've noticed the same, actually. The boss shows up only during night, but you have to fast travel there from another place first or nonsense like that.

I discovered a poisonous cave filled with poison poo poo in Weeping Peninsula. "No biggie" thought I, "Harvest valley makes a second comeback, that's the way these things go".

Found several other caves just like the first one, "Well, we know Miyazaki loves his poison swamps ha ha ha ha"

Then got to Caelid. "This all you got, game?? I can ride over these with ease!" shouted I knee deep in scarlet gunk as Millicent invaded

Abandoned cave broke my spirit

Then I got to lake of rot. Two gin-scented tears trickled down the sides of my nose. But it was all right, everything was all right, the struggle was finished. I had won the victory over myself. I loved Elden RIng

After thoroughly enjoying everything up until now I can safely say that Lake of Rot is one of my least favorite zones in any Souls game. Absolute dogshit level design, nothing interesting to do, non-stop chugging boluses or casting cleanse, the first boss has possibly the worst hitboxes I've ever seen, then you get ambushed by a miniboss that does nothing but frantically whip around in a tiny corridor full of rot, and *then* there's another boss with like 3 different one-hit-kill moves even at 40 vigor. Just a miserable slog.

I do want to hear your opinions on Elphael, should you ever go there. Lake of Rot should feel warm and welcoming in comparison

Village of the Albinaurics is accessible from the beginning of Liurnia.

Go from the first grace after you kill Godrick to the second Liurnia grace, down the hill by the merchant. Now just go west, hugging the wall. Maybe a 3 minute horse ride from Godrick to Village of Albinaurics.

Yes. There were perfectly good directions given by other posters. Above my post.

On topic of hosts having stuff they shouldn't have, or equipment that feels like they couldn't get on their own, I usually don't mind depending on level. Its way too common to see spells and gear on beginners they never could've gotten on their own by that point, but that was also my DS3 invader's experience. When I've done Stormveil invasions hosts have had no idea how to optimally use their high end spells with the stat spread they have. It's the phantoms that annoy me. This game's scaling is bonkers and more often than not phantoms are OP levels of broken if they've finished the game and now are helping a friend.

You must admit you are maidenless twice before the creepy white masked NPC in front of abandoned church in Liurnia. He will give you some fingers. Use them to troll other player. This impresses the dude so much he lets you to join his incel gang but with a caveat - you must kill a maiden for their blood. No matter who you choose, the dude now will show you the way to the gang headquarters - run by Mohg.

We need to have a pool of tarnished to be killed, and we need a steady supply of gods that can be devoured. In this sense I cannot give my vote for Three Fingers and their "Equal rights through annihilation" program. Laudable goal, but we need to think of the numbers of the Eldeconomy.

On my ng+ round where I'm catching up with achievements I'm supposed to have, but don't for reasons , I've come to the conclusion that I really, really hate the Godfrey/Hoarah Loux boss combo. Tried Int/faith for funsies and this boss here is the one that, like a crucible knight, let's you have 0,5 seconds between attacks to time your counters and gives no mercy if you mistime or get greedy. I'd imagine it's ok with a proper melee build but with full caster this boss was nothing but stunlocks and pain. Hate him! Hate!

I wouldn't mind invasion specific areas a la Belfrey Luna from DS2 but I don't think I'd be a fan of just generally being able to be invaded in other areas in ER. I don't mind gritting my teeth and going okay I know I'm about to enter a small area where I gotta deal with shitheads teleporting in with the OP dejour item of the day to push my poo poo in, but if I was at risk of that in more than just a few designated areas I think it would very much negatively affect my enjoyment of the game.

The obvious ganks? must number over hundred. you don't learn much from those other than to run away, or you git gud while you run away.

I love how everyone hates the radagon/EB combo while I find that fight rather trivial. Meanwhile, don't ask how many times I've died to fricking Godfrey/Hoarah Loux. Is no one else struggling against him? Just me?

Defeating EB feels more of RNG: Sometimes the fucker keeps spamming holy blade, and rarely it stays in melee and swings like a whale stuck on a beach.

Turtle munched grass for many decades. Such delicious grass! Grew he did. You too, would grow, were you not eating crabs and drinking red seed juice.

Then one day he got a hat. Said the people: "This hat makes you the pope!". Indeed, you'd too, become a pope were you to be given such a fancy hat. Alas, you are a tarnished and as such you only wear jar corpses and pumpkins and stuff that belongs to other people.

Yeah, that's why you can only use Larval tears 5 times max with Rennala. Otherwise your brain melts out of your ears.

The whole thing is basically recycling the Rosaria concept from Dark Souls 3 - mother-ly lady rebirthing her minions repeatedly leading to them becoming gross half slug people. Also, there's plenty of evidence that suggests that Rennala's boss fight itself, at least the first phase, is literally a reskinned boss fight with Rosaria cut from DS3. All those legless students used to be slug people which is presumably why they crawl around the way they do.

Naw mate, you can keep respecin as many times as you like as long as you pay the larval price. I think there are something close to 17 you can find in a single run.
