It seems like using magic is pretty fluid which is something I was hoping for. If you can chain magic and melee together as seamlessly as the sword and prosthetics in Sekiro that would be great

Miyazaki has said there is a stamina bar but they think it's less restrictive than in earlier games. I'm really curious what the pace of combat, damage, etc. is gonna look like. Since this is all the first area enemy attacks look pretty telegraphed but that's usually the case with the early areas in From games

Pablo Nergigante posted:Margit took me more tries than any other real first boss in a FROM game and I felt like a god when I finally beat him Same. I explored around Limgrave a bit afterwards and found out there's an item you can buy that apparently prevents him from jumping temporarily. Probably would have helped but I was glad to find out for a future run. The scale of this game is absolutely insane. It has all the cool high fantasy elements from DS2 but in a super refined package. I probably fought 10 or 15 bosses in the overworld before ever going to Stormveil

His second phase is so nasty and takes so long to get through each time I'll put this in tags just in case but you can get an item at this location that can help, and tbh you'll want to check it out anyway.

I was fighting the first boss in Raya Lucaria academy with wolf summons. Got the boss down to about 5% HP when it killed me, but the wolves finished it off before my death animation was over so I beat it.

Harrow posted:26 hours in and I've still only done one legacy dungeon I did this boss yesterday and really wish I had the stats for his drop. It seems like armor drops are scripted because sometimes I'll kill a tough enemy and he drops the entire set. I've found one full set off the beaten path in Raya Lucaria but otherwise it seems like different merchants sell the baseline stuff

Harrow posted:In general I noticed Elden Ring generally wants you to have like 15-20 of whatever the "opposite" stat of your main one is, whether it's Str, Dex, Int, or Faith. There are great Str weapons that require like 18-20 Dex, great Dex weapons that require 18-20 Str, similar story for sorceries and miracles. It does seem like there's a fair amount of crossover. Makes me wonder if there's a staff that can cast miracles or a sacred seal that can cast sorceries. I assume there must be in a game this big. I'm mostly int-dex but it does seem like faith offers a lot in terms of healing, stealth, and pyromancy

Man, when NPCs don't give you a hint where they're going next as part of their quest it's like "good luck because I'll never find you in this massive open world." I'm trying not to look stuff up in this first run because the sense of mystery is amazing but it's getting too tempting now

Bicyclops posted:for all the "you definitely need to level this" advice out there, it feels like you can make most things work, but one way or another you will also lament all the cool weapons and armor that don't work for it. i've been holding off because everyone has been talking about all the cool str weapons but maybe i just want to be a dex fighter Respec is possible after a certain story boss so you can always change it up. There are also talismans that give you like +5 to a given stat if you need it in a pinch. The crazy thing to me is that there are so many items with like 60-70 required in a stat.

An rear end in a top hat sorcerer gave me some vial of blue potion and said I should make sure Nephali drinks it.

Did a bunch of stuff in Caelid and found a whole area I hadn't explored yet. Went to the top of the Divine Tower there and back down again from the inside. There's a really tough boss in there that I'm definitely underleved for because a single melee attack will one-shot me, but I've gotten it down to 25% HP. Found a time-of-day boss at the secluded merchant's shack that also one-shot me.

Veev posted:I got a unique arcane/bleed weapon and with arcane pumped anything that bleed works on just instantly evaporates, it feels like cheating. Arcane seems like it would make some ridiculous builds. I found a seal that scales your incantations with it so you could do a bunch of dragon-summoning and insanity spells and probably wreck everything

Would have felt bad about cheesing that win if he wasn’t such a massive piece of poo poo and probably wouldn’t have gotten stuck in the wall geometry in the first place if he had just calmed down down for two seconds I jumped over one of its tail swipes which was the first time in like 60 hours that I thought to jump during a boss fight

Sometimes I would just run around a pillar and trust the homing spell to do the rest. Their incantations look so sick that I definitely want to do a faith build sometime

ROBO_ERECTUS posted:Wow Shaded Castle is gnarly, just poison, rot, basilisk, undead and perfumers all around. I got a Perfumer piece though which is pretty nice, has good status and non-physical resistances and looks like a Ghili suit. Plus I got the ancestor horns, so I look like a shaman. Dont know if I should just charge into the capital, go to Redmane Castle, or explore more Altus Plateau/ reach the volcano manor The boss of Shaded Castle is one of the toughest I've seen so far. I spent an hour on him this morning and did only minimal damage on even my best runs. Dude's moveset is crazy and the boss arena gives you no space to maneuver

grieving for Gandalf posted:is her staff worth using? I'm burned after upgrading a staff up to +14 and the meteor staff just straight up being better You can get it to S scaling after like 4 somber stone upgrades and it has a weapon art that can be useful in close quarters. Kinda depends on what spells you like or want to build towards. I used the meteor staff until I could wield this one and yeah it's super dependable, especially if you use gravity spells. Since you can't upgrade the meteor staff I would guess that others can reach a better S rank through upgrades.
