I've seen some talk of poor performance on PC, can a pc gamer report back. Also it was from a woman so she probably hosed something up in the settings.

Jumping instead of dodging when a boss does a ground pound/shockwave style attack is hard to get used to but really strong. Seems like the safety window is much longer and usually you get a chance to punish with a jumping R2

that boss in the mine by the giant dragon near stormveil kicked my rear end for like an hour until I figured that jumping was way more effective (and also that the club was better than the sword). Felt like it was training me to use the jump more often.. Played for like 5 hours yesterday, game owns so hard.

I met Iron Fist Alexander and he's my new favorite NPC and I immediately looked up spoilers to make sure nothing bad was going to happen to him cause I couldn't live with myself if there was a quest line for him that I could gently caress up.

I was definitely overleveled for the weeping peninsula since everything in castle morne died in like 1-2 hits. Might do some summon signing for a bit to grind up since I feel like I’m underleveled for other stuff

it definitely felt like a practice run of stormveil, and the boss was like a simplified version of margit first phase. wish i'd done it before

It’s crazy lol. After I beat margit I did a bunch of summons for him and I’d say it would take less than ten seconds to get summoned each time.

it's been like that for me everywhere, last night i put my name down at a random catacombs on the weeping peninsula and i was getting summoned within seconds. first time playing a fromsoft game at launch and it rules

Some random guy at the bottom of an elevator in Stormveil killed me more times than Godrick did even though he was pretty much the last thing I fought long after I moved on and leveled up a bit. Some guys just know exactly how to make you eat poo poo no matter what you do.


P sure I know what you’re talking about, isn’t that guy a crucible knight? he absolutely demolished me a couple of times before I said no thanks

25 hrs in, level 40 and finally going to liurna. one handing the golden halberd and it rules. best game

also went back and used key in the starting area, the boss bugged out like 1/2 way through and just sat there while I wrecked it. must have run through/past the killer roller thing a dozen times and just learned you can kill it with pots. finally understanding all the messages to look up. only game I’ve played that makes you feel like a badass and a complete retard at the same time

Do you get anything for killing the double spider dudes that drop down on the other side? I just ran and grabbed the item and jumped to my death. I wonder if I'm strong enough now to try and take them on.

I hit them one by one with an arrow then lured them back into the hallway fire trap. slightly more honorable than the one in stormveil I killed by chucking fireballs through a small door. gently caress those guys, they just drop runes

did you make them swim? i wasn't able to lol they would just stop moving

Lol no I walked in and ran and jumped onto the rock on the right hand side that’s just above them and just tossed my base level flame spell at them until they died. Had to periodically roll when the scythe guy threw at me but once he went down the wheel guy couldn’t do poo poo to me

lol I did that fight yesterday and hated it too. I generally don't like the "remember this boss from earlier? Well, now there's too of them" bosses, it's one of my only real complaints about the game. At least they mix it up by making it two variants of the same guy, but still.

I genuinely think you are never supposed to fight the abductors with normal melee l, every place I’ve found them has a convenient hunk of rocks you can climb that put you out of harms way

no feeling like when i fight a difficult boss, am finally having a good run, patiently get him down to the last sliver of health while i have a full health bar, then all of a sudden my brain turns off and i start hammering R1 while he unloads a four-hit combo and kills me instead of blocking or dodging like i've been doing the entire rest of the fight

Are you talking about O'neill? I just summoned using my own ashes and it seemed like it just distracted his summons so I could fight him 1v1. I don't think my summon even tried to attack O'neill.

based on other posts i think its the royal revenant in one of the ruins in liurnia

I was frustrated with that fight too but I did it under leveled (his arrows did 90% of my hp) and after destroying him before he could even phase in NG+ I realized it was just because my build sucked and I fought him way too early.

just finished it, arrows weren’t bad once i figured out where to stand and not to be riding and I was pretty good on phase 1 but the goddamn giant rocks were a pain in the rear end, finally decided to just run and hide while he had the rocks out and once they were gone tried to run in for a hit, then when he was really low I just said gently caress it and rushed him and hit him twice.
