lols... after having an hour with Magrit, suddenly the little infantrymen that I was carefully stealthing around before feel like flies to swat hahaha. Again, feels like progress!
And this thread is great, thanks for pointers. Like being pushed around on a tricycle in the park by the FG boomers. Hoping to make it onto two wheels soon (probably with stabilisers).

Honestly, that's part of what makes these games so amazing. Everyone helps each other out and shares their discoveries. We're all in the same shit just trying to progress against the odds. I think the way the game doesn't really explain things explicitly is a deliberate design choice by FROM and I love them for it

I have a few ash summons. I do like the wolves though. Don’t do much damage but good at keeping big guys occupied for a while. I’ve found a few others that I need to try out. No jellyfish yet though so that’s on the list to find.

I've just used two keys to open the fog gate at the very start of the game at the stranded graveyard. Ummm. first one worth it? I’ve just opened one, and all I got was a fight with a frosty dude (that I handily lost) Some of the imp gates are almost necessary for good stuff. There's one in stormviel that gives you something brilliant for assigning ashes to your weapon for example.

Also, fucking hell. This game.
I'm basically soulsgasming.

Man I totally missed the church of Elleh. Have to get used to the weirdness of dark souls boss fights again where you can be a sliver away from victory one round and barely scratch them on the next attempt. I'm gonna be doing alot of rolling and magic I reckon.

They assume the player is intelligent, that you need to discover your own way, with/without advice from others. It's empowering not being handheld through it all (but equally not for everyone).

So far this is by far their least obscure game. The Npcs you talk to generally don't talk in riddles and you understand what you've actually got to do. Generally as well the item descriptions are also far easier to understand what the item does.

Just realised HDR was off by default. Looks a bit better now I’ve turned it on.

What classes/builds are people using? I’m trying a confessor STR/FTH build as well as a Prisoner INT/DEX build and a Astrologer INT build. Been messing about with Samurai too , I run out of arrows too quickly though.
I’d love to find an offensive Faith Incantation, any early on?

I found one on AN island the one you can see but seems impossible to get to

It says it will shoot fire out your eyes or something but I don’t have the faith yet to try it. Bought the fingerbang so I might just dip into miracles soon

I’m going Strength Faith. Just spent the last hour getting summoned for the Margit fight. Now I’ve learnt the move set the fight is good fun. It’s great helping out as well. After yesterdays struggles this has made me feel far less frustrated. I will get Godrick…. eventually.

Any news on what the update has? Maybe they fixed Haptic Feedback, of which I have had none. Oh yeah! I forgot that was in the network test

Gone strength as usual but feel a magic build would make this much easier. Might start going down that route.
Is there a stat that means you get up faster? Keep dying from being knocked over and enemies hitting me as I'm leisurely getting back up. Fucking annoying.

Also, found some mines. Thought that'd be easy and maybe get some materials. Nope, miners are tough as fuck too! I need to concentrate on souls and levelling thrust attacks and backstabs for those, think 2-1 Demon's Souls

But yeah it's frustrating when you get stunned/knocked over.

I've run into a lot of wake up kills as well, usually from massive things but also some of the tougher knights

Anyone figured out how to put skeletons down for good? Thought Holy would do it, but nope.

Fun fact : if you're in a dark dungeon but you don't want to abandon your shield, a torch makes a very effective weapon. There's even a wire wrapped version that has a flamethrower weapon skill.
I just went on a tear, killed Margit, Tree Sentinel and Darrowil. Woof. I've still got so much to do before exploring Stormveil as well, this game is mental.

I've got a little lantern that hangs off my belt, which was the style at the time

Well I did it, I finally killed Margit. The fucking git.
All it took were two summoned companions that weren't shit. That and the shackles to let everyone get some free hits in, while we all used our battle roar arts and gave him a good hammering.
I literally do not care that I did it with help, there's only so many times I can fail before I get sick of it.

I’m still helping at Margit. Nice way to get some extra levels in.

I've unlocked poison arrow crafting, I'm looking forward to cheesing some fuckers.

I found myself on the island by the beach. There’s so much stuff to explore and so much stuff you could miss that seems pretty important.

I literally do not care that I did it with help, there's only so many times I can fail before I get sick of it. This is the way. (For me at least) I’m still kinda stuck in “no summons”mode after I just ran through Bloodborne for the second time, doing the bosses solo. But I’ll sure as hell abandon that instead of trying 30 times,
