Can't beat Margit even when I'm summoned by another player. Even when I'm using the special gubbin. Even when I'm trying to bleed to the cunt with my sword.
I've gone off on a frolic all over the world just exploring, picking up items, getting lost, shitting myself and dying lots. Just enjoying being in the world so far, about 10 hours in.

That boss in the well is great. Easy, but great. LOVED the music and the whole vibe.

Maybe level up a bit more, it makes a massive difference. I went back and killed the lake dragon today and it went down in seconds where as when I tried it before it was a 10 minute epic battle that I lost.

Arrekz has done a video with a spot where you can get about 20k in 10 minutes, however it depends on you being able to kill them with a backstab and a quick follow up as if they hit you they will probably one shot you. It's easy to get the backstab on them though so it's all about your damamge output.

Ok, I’m talking about the one in mistwood . Didn’t realise there was more than 1. Mistwood? Is there? Fucking hell, that means at least 3 then as I'm in Liurnia

Also where are we talking for good grinding spots? I know a zero effort one and a somewhat efforty one. Explore Caelid, it's the area east of Limgrove. The SW most bonfire is Impassable Greatbridge (IG), the NW most is Bestial Sanctum (BS).
From IG, run north hugging the right, jump up onto the little rock plateau. A heap of soldiers will start attack the wildlife. You can run north and aggro three more and drag them into the conflict before hiding again. It takes a few minutes to resolve so you can doomscroll, make a tea or whatever, then pick off the stragglers with a bow. About 4k per run
BS: sneak out and past a big fecker and there are loads of tiny wankers that are more or less blind. Sneak about, Backstab, Charge attack, maybe another couple of hits, 1k each kill. You can get 16k per run if you're willing to keep hunting them.

Apologies if this is really obvious, but just making sure that everybody knows that when you pick up Golden Runes they are consumable items that go into your inventory. I don't think anything in game explains this so if you're new to Souls games it could be missed quite easily.

It’s satisfying levelling up and then having a no-pressure period where you don’t care if you die because you’ll drop bugger all

I had a good few hours today and soaked it all up- picked the lowest island and just tooled around exploring, really amazing. I think this might be the first FromSoft game where I don’t end up knowing every inch of the thing, it’s vast. Only level 20 but have loads of new weapons, flask upgrades, a spell and saw. some. shit. man.
Also, how many times am I going to attempt to close the map with the same button that opened it?
No. No. Don’t answer that- because the answer is apparently INFINITELY 🙄

No. No. Don’t answer that- because the answer is apparently INFINITELY 🙄 I've always used circle to get outta menus, and it was working fine for the map until some arsehole mentioned the inconvenience of pressing the map button twice. Since then it's happened too many times.

It's not just me then. Also open the bastard when I don't mean to. Also go into stealth when panic running away.

Also just want to take a moment to say that I absolutely adore this game.
I wish I had the time / attention span to delve deeply into the lore - incredibly grateful for Vaati keeping that covered.

Sooo...killed Margit. No chance against a mob of demi-humans and an NPC.
And now I've noticed diminishing returns on picking up souls from death ? Is this a thing ?
Just 10yds from a grace, trying to kill a chonky boi, and my 15k, dropped to 11k, now to 7k ? Wat ?

Beat the fucking Wrym on my own. Fuck yeah. I'm 2 points shy in STR, 5 points in Dex and 2 INT ffs. What's a decent early game farm? I guess the giant on the beach?

Motherfucker. When's combat enabled in there ? As cryptic as all the chat is, I don't recall anything pertaining to bleeding me dry woman ! Even looking at the item, seems totally unrelated. Hmph. No more hugs. Edit: nope, still a thing, reduced souls on pickup. Going to have a search, because this could be very costly.

If I mention “three wise beasts”, can anybody point me in the direction of the third? I’ve got the obvious one; the super hidden one; but can’t spy the third in the immediate area.

So jolly cooperation then. I know people are exploring still but should we start getting something together about bosses for example for coop? Margit I imagine
