Friend of mine's been on the Series S version for 20 hours this weekend. Turned on his machine today and he's getting the 'Failed To Load Save Data' error and can't seem to work it after restarting the game and console. Anyone else had trouble with this (and know a potential solution)? Sounds frustrating. Don't know if it's related, but I read some complaints about using quick resume for this game on Series S/X.

Curious to know if anyone else has fought the massive thing below Stormveil Castle yet and the significance of that area. There's a fucking huge face there too which quite frankly gives me the willies.

Another five hours done..explored some more of the north. Beat one main boss, two minor ones. Helped a friend for a while, killed about four invaders and mopped up some early dungeons I'd missed.

I've wandered a bit too far to the east into a barren scorched land. There are some fucking scary things out here.
I just said out loud, "what the fuck is that?", then turned around, saw something else and then said "and what the FUCK is THAT?!"

I’m playing as a Samurai. A little reading of guides suggests I should definitely be using the sword thingy two-handed, but I’m finding the timing of it two-handed really hard. Do I need to get good two handed? If so I might need to accept that this wasn’t the right build for me.

Last night I fought a bastard hard field boss and while running away I discovered his aggro limit. 64 fire arrows later... taadaa!

Holy crap I just learned something quite significant about one of the people you meet at Roundtable and a question asked by someone earlier in this thread: (this is a gameplay/mechanic spoiler, nothing to do with the story. And I've kept it vague enough to impart information I think is valuable without going into what it might mean) The woman who offers you a hug, gives you an item every time she hugs you. When she hugs you, apparently, she also DEBUFFS you - you get a negative status effect, indicated by a red square with a down arrow under your stamina bar. You need to use the item she gives you to remove the debuff?!

Bloody hell, I've just entered some sort of warp gate near third Mariska church Ruins, by the small river/pond and I've ended up in a far north westerly area called Greyroll's Dragonbarrow, right outside a 'Bestial Sanctum'. There's a huge fucker with wings down some steps from here, but I've warped in behind him so have run into the sanctum and there's a site of grace here. Haha, I've just found this same place by horseback. Creepy isn't it!

I've just gone for an extensive ride around here and there's massive bloody dragons everywhere, lightning reining down, I was attacked by Putrid boss something or other on the road, so I just did a runner out of there as quickly as Torrent could run!! This place is terrifying at the level I'm at right now 😢.

You need to use the item she gives you to remove the debuff?! It took me so long to figure out what that symbol that clearly was a debuff was. Ended up having to look it up as well. One slight negative of the game (probably true for previous games too), is the lack of info of what those buffs and debuffs symbols actually mean. They really should appear in the status screen and the help there should tell you what it means, preferably also showing you the item that is causing it or origins of the effect.

I'm looking at it now wondering if I should go for it FYI, that place is in Caelid, and I actually opened it up on the map normally, so I know how to get there normally. I have a feeling Caelid is for after Stormveil, possibly even after Liurnia, as it seems to be quite the step up at parts. I've not been brave enough to go there much anyway...

Vandelay Yes, agree completely. I've normally got a good 4 or 5 icons under there at any time. Not a clue as to what most of them are.

I did a tour round that area yesterday and it’s quite ugly isn’t it? Without the nice lighting of Limgrave and the next area, it looks proper ropey at times.

Do I need to get good two handed? If so I might need to accept that this wasn’t the right build for me. As a fellow Samurai, I'd say no. I've never really two handed weapons in these games. I'm more of a coward who likes to hide behind his shield.

You'll come by quite a few 100% shields so don't worry if you want to change.

Ok cool. I’m quite happily using sword and shield, but feel like I’m not making good use of one of his key moves at all (the unsheathed thingy). If it doesn’t really matter I’ll stick with him.
