Yeah, I had few goes at him yesterday and my summon was dying every time he did a fire attack.

Is he in Caelid? I'm not going to Caelid for a looooong time. Area north of Stormveil spoilers / discussion: There's a huge area in Liurnia that I can't get to, and it's doing my tits in. It's a huge plateau ABOVE the Village of the Albinaurics. There's no conceivable way up there. I thought the other half of the medallion, when I eventually get it from Fort Faroth (which I'm not going back to for a while) would somehow activate the lift of Dectus referred to in half of the medallion, and that would somehow get me there, but the boy was exploring far north of Liurnia and said he stumbled upon the Lift of Dectus there. So that blows my theory out the water. He also said he found a new entrance to a well north of the Tower. That prompted me to scour the map and I THINK I've noticed one, maybe two structures on that plateau that COULD be well entrances. One at least is probably a gaol, but I think the other could be a well. Currently thinking that if I go down this well the boy found, then it could take me south west and eventually take me to a lift that goes all the way up.
That also reminds me I've not even explored the well in Limgrave much apart from my initial foray down there. Hmmmm
Also, talking of Stormveil - There's a structure on a chunk of land to the left of it with no way across.
Double hmmmmm

I've ended up probably somewhat overpowered for Limgrave, because I've turned into an obsessive who scours every inch of land. On the other hand, if I leave now I'll be even more powerful if I decide to come back later.
Anybody using a bow, make sure you have the crafting kit and buy all the cookbooks you come across (hit square and you can see what recipes it has before you buy it). I am murdering livestock far and wide to maintain my beast bone requirements.
Also, pay attention to the glowing skulls on the ground, and look out for graveyards and sarcophagi(?) dotted around. There are literally thousands of runes just lying about the place. In fact I think the skulls respawn.

I killed a big Knight Commander mini-boss in the swamps of Caelid last night, that was a fun fight! I used Torrent to fight on horseback as the git was summoning spirit support, firstly archers and then axe men . I also summoned my spirit skeletons, who were really useful! As a bonus for winning this fight, I got an item that I was searching all over this area for, an Unalloyed gold needle , which I'd needed for a quest!

Also, with this Godric Knight armour. The alternative version is sans cape. Cape or no cape. Hmmm... Cape, always the Cape!

I'm still alternating between my uchi, rapier and flail. I do love this flail. The charged r2 when you swing it about is a beautiful thing when you're charging down twats on horseback. I'm using the flail as a backup to my staff, it's pretty funky isn't it. I had to raise Str by 2 and I'm increasing my Dex anyway as it speeds up magic casting time, so I'm now using it. I've used a weapon ash(?) to change it to magic damgage too, so it's utilising my increased Int too!

Bloody hell! Rennala really throws everything and the kitchen sink at you. The fight had me screaming "are you fucking kidding me??" at one point.

Attack or just ride over them with Torrent and press triangle/Y to pick the runes up.

Argh - I did Stormview Castle yesterday and all I want to do is keep playing this game but real life is getting in the way.
Wish this game came out when I was 14 with unlimited free time, single and no money for other games.

I assumed the glowing skulls were something to do with other players dying, similar to Vagrants from the original Dark Souls.

I found loads of runes in the (location spoiler) graveyard near Fort Haight. Just had to kill a few wolves.

Is there anyone who’s been bad at souls games, or a newcomer, who is finding this easier and enjoying it to the max?

Post by Phattso on Mar 1, 2022 13:18:22 GMT
I don’t think it’s easier at all. The main difference is that hitting a brick wall is no longer a full stop on progress. I’ve been pissing about for 15 hours and have yet to properly attempt the first main boss, by way of example.

I would say the main bosses so far have been as hard as anything else in souls. The difference is, as Phattso says, how open ended this is. True, you're going to have to face the hard guys eventually, but there's probably hundreds of hours to be spent before you even have to fight them if you so choose. Take Stormveil - It's not even a choke point as it can be circumnavigated easily . So if you're struggling there, you can just fuck off.

It looks to slightly alter the base stats and, in this instant, change a few visual details. Any other point to it? The stat changes are very minor, as are the visual changes. It seems to lower the weight slightly as well which may be the difference between fat and medium roll.

Plus. Summoning is liberal and effectively limitless. I'm not even sure if they've adhered to their usual summoning ranges with regards levels. Anyone know?

He's standing on a fallen ruin that acts as a bridge, you can see it on the map just north of Mistwood. He's calling out as well, "can anybody help me" or something like that, so you'll soon hear the idiot even if you don't initially see him , heh 😄.
