There’s a reason why I never made it through Sekiro!

Me neither, although that was more me not enjoying it as much. I love the diversity in souls games to make a build and run with it.

I need to have another go at the Furnace Golem at the beginning, as the reward apparently turns the game INTO Sekiro.

Performance of this on my PC is absolutely atrocious. Never a problem with the base game. SotE has terrible stuttering. Literally regularly freezes for a good 10 seconds or more.

This area is pretty generous with the level up items and also I followed a secret path via messages with lots of jumping and rolling and have found a faith weapon that seems so cool I may just have to re spec!

At the final boss. Bring the anger
Update. 3 attempts, haven’t survived more than 3 seconds each attempt. I literally get destroyed before I can get a mimic down haha.
Scafutree +12
Revered spirt +9
Update 2
Yeah fuck this. Ten attempts and I haven’t actually hit it yet. I’ve managed to survive about one minute max but at no point was there an opportunity for an attack.
Update 3
Got it to 3/4 health via dodging S tier skill for about 2 minutes. With that I managed to get about 4 attacks in.

Yeah, it is terrible. I did have issues with the base game, although mostly just the standard shader stutter, as well as piss poor ray tracing performance even on my 4090, but the DLC is having regular old frame drops all over the place. Does seem to be particularly areas of the map, but also whenever there are a few particles about. Perhaps nothing quite as bad as the notorious walking mausoleum in the snowfields, but certainly very noticeable frame drops. I was disappointed that the big DLC patch didn't come with performance improvements, but I certainly wasn't expecting there to be a performance hit. Think it is getting a lot of negative Steam reviews because of it, so certainly not just us. |

All the new weapons you get in the DLC should be at max level when you pick them up. Are you sure? Because I've literally upgraded a weapon that I found to +25. Sorry, I just meant they should be. peacemaker That sounds awful. Does a shield help? Looks like maxing out your blessing level might be the way to go. |

Looks like maxing out your blessing level might be the way to go. I’ve binned my blood dex build and just this minute re Spec to wear Havel armour and great shield. We shall see! Update. First attempt got it to less than half health second phase/assuming final phase. Okay yeah this is doable, second try was about 1/3 health and one of the npc summons was nearly full health and I had heals to spare. Tank it is Pretty much got it now. Got it to 10% health a few times and I think I’ve worked out how to avoid its bs attack when it gets low hp |

That Ghostflame Dragon fight is getting on my tits. Seemed like a cool concept initially, a Radahn style group battle against a dragon. In practice though it is infuriating. You seem to cause a huge amount of agro on the grunts that are swarming the dragon. They also have lots of area of effect attacks, so going anywhere near the dragon for most of the time they are around is a death sentence. You can sneak in the odd attack, but the best approach seems to be to just sit back and wait the eternity it takes for the dragon to kill them, whilst neither seem to be doing much damage to each other. Defeats the purpose of what seemed like it would be an epic battle Giving up on this fight and going to explore the castle the other side of it. There is a small rocky outcrop ahead and slightly to the left of the nearest site of grace where I accidently figured out you can kite it from. I was spamming my Sacred Relic Wave of Gold attack whilst my mimic tanked it. But before that yes was a struggle, killed me a few times trying to fight it normally. |

Ah, turns out there is more than one, so might not be talking about the same one then (your description of the fight now I've re-read it does sound different).

LET IT BE NOTED IN HISTORY THAT AT 1:58PM ON JUNE 25th 2024, DUFFKING DID INDEED KICK MESSMER's STUPID FUCKING FACE IN WITHOUT RESORTING TO USING SUMMONS OR SPIRIT ASHES Nice one. I found that very tough even with my mimic. Hard to get an attack in. I finished it. Last boss is more than wank. Took nearly three hours and when it’s low health it has a couple of bs instant kill moves if you aren’t in a good position when it happens. The whole fight is wank but yeah when maybe 1/3 heal it’s just a total cluster fuck. I felt by the end I had learnt almost all the moves but it didn’t help much. The time I did it was just due to the boss not doing the main bs moves. Could only get it done with the Havel type armour and the super high poise and guard great shield with all the stamina and shield talismans I could rock. Good shit except for the final area and a few of the bosses. I’ve re specced again and now I look like the lightening guy from big trouble little china! I even have the spell to wrap me in lightening. |

Only fought the DL but was surprised how quickly it went dead. Mimic effectively owned two thirds of the fight. Like Lou, so far I’m finding it easier than the base game from Farum onwards other than the damage all enemies inflict.

Out of interest, what were your scadutree blessing and spirit ash blessing levels? +12 and +9 and that was definitely under levelled or if not then the boss is just bonkers. I don’t think I’ve got the skill to beat it without tanking it, you’d have to perfectly dodge roll about 100 times in one battle to beat it. |

It seems everyone is finding a corner to start edging their pickle.
The one I laughed out loud at though was a message in front of a long ladder that said 'snake?'.

I really need the Revered Spirit ashes, been stuck on +6 for ages. My trusty great shield soldiers got absolutely trounced by a boss earlier. Not good.

Can't settle on a weapon. I now seem to be alternating between the Meteroite Ore Greatsword +10 and Milady +25. The greatsword is nice but it's moveset is boring as hell. Milady on the other hand has a fucking brilliant moveset, but isn't as powerful. Also thinking about maxing out those dancer twin blades I just killed a boss to get. The moveset of them is nuts but I'd look like a twit in a full set of armour twirling myself around like that.
Hmm. Decisions.
Also. Pre-release this was described to be as big as Limgrave. Fuck that. Maybe if you flattened Limgrave out to be two or three times it's size and then dumped another two on top. It's huuuuuuuuuuuge. There's just so much here it's silly.

Managed the snake boy last night. I went with a slightly cheesy fingerprint shield. No rolls required. Rarely use a shield but it really helped out and was dead at the second attempt of using it. |

At the moment I'm just spotting points on the map and trying to work out how to get to them, usually finding a field boss or a dungeon along the way. I was trying to find how to get to the settlement on the ledge by the starting grace last night and ended up finding the cerulean coast and clearing a few bosses. Then I got stomped by the dragon.
Its got that organic-yet-guided exploration down really well even if it is annoying that you can't ever get from A to B in a straight line.

It's huuuuuuuuuuuge. There's just so much here it's silly. If anything has been proven from Miyazaki is that we shouldn't believe his lies. Prior to ER he said it would take 30 hrs to beat. My character is the strongest holy man there ever was so I'm picking up a bunch of weapons atm that I don't match the minimum reqs for. They look cool, contemplating even respecting to distribute some points out but I trust I'll find something for me. Even this colossal hammer with str and fai scaling also requires dex and arc. 150 hrs or so into the game and I still don't have it in me to just skip the main menu music. Let it carry you and then right as its about to end is when you hit the Continue button. You can't help but be hyped. |
