Just found this games equivalent of the Cloranthy Ring The Green Turtle Talisman so pretty damn happy with that Ohhhhh, you bastard. I must have it! It's here (location spoiler) Summonwater Village in the Northern part of East Lingrave, behind a Stonesword Key door Also, my character is now officially a Necromancer. I can summon 2 skeleton warriors via Spirit Ashes, and they reanimate when they get killed like regular undead (not sure if this is a set number of times) Fucking amazing.

This is just depressing, I braved the ridicule and brought my xbox with me offshore, but now I can't connect it to the internet (some kind of login shenaningans on the corp wifi) and it MUST be connected to the internet to play. Unless its set as "home/main xbox" or something, then you can play offline. But OBVIOUSLY you must be online to set this setting that I never knew about until now when I needed it. That was kinda the thing I was looking forward to doing after work for the next two weeks, bah, bummer..

How durable are those skeletons, I have them but not tried them yet. Do they die really quickly on bosses?

I'm really looking forward to watching the speed run community tackle this game. There are gonna be so many options for making suicide runs to grab certain items or weapons. As well as being much bigger, the systems and layout seem so much more intricate and intertwining than From's previous games. I've also noticed that the wikis are taking a lot longer than usual to fill up with info, and trophies are being unlocked far more slowly.

I've fucked up, cashed in Godrics soul for a weapon I can't use when I should have got the buff instead. AHH well nobody died. Other than him And me about 20 times. All is not lost

I've spent about 4-5 hours on it today. Ended up going east too far so haven't actually been fighting that much stuff, more checking them out. But it's just as much fun exploring as it is fighting. Plus, all the items and seeds are generally a much higher level so item wise, it's a win. One of them is worth 7500 to a trader so that'll be useful I'm sure. Feel a bit more stronger now so I think I'm going to do a bit more pottering here and then go back and progress a bit. I might be strong enough for the miners now - is that the best place for smithing stones? Quaddy easiest way to kill the miners is to hit them with a torch.

Kind of regretting going faith/Dex as I'm finding the weapon choice quite limited. I've got shedloads of great looking strength weapons though so I might respec. There's a weapon I found that I REALLY want to try in a future build with dex/faith

Getting my exploring groove on a bit now. Found some interesting things tonight, including a scroll, which I took to the sorceress lady under waypoint ruins to unlock more spells . I still donโt have a bloody catalyst though. I donโt want to start plugging points into Int and mind until I can use the bloody spells. Was just mooching around mistwood and came across an elevator that took me way, way down to Siofra River Well. Which looks pretty, but no place that far down can be good. See New Londo Ruins. . Still need to find a Mistwood map, and properly explore the lake area (I have an idea what is there). Then I guess I should think about going through the gate. I need a few solid hours on it to feel like Iโm making progress though. An hour here and there just isnโt cutting it

Has it been established that we can, at some point, respec in this btw? Like in DS3? Iโm being miserly as fuck with leveling up: at 25 Dex/15 Faith/ 15 Vig now, but was contemplating throwing a few into Arcane to try out the Reduvia, as mentioned above. Still really struggling to find medium armor to stop me fat rolling. I thought I read somewhere that you can but not sure how. I've got an item that lets me but don't know where to take it.

Hint for finding map pieces: sometimes their location is indicated by a little marker on your map (looks like a little grey stone post type thing) .

I just had an hour or so today and spent it exploring. Every damn little nook and cranny has something cool. Ended up trying to do a couple of NPC requests but couldn't find what they were after. There's just soooooo much to do. Couple that with the fact it can be done in any order and, well, it's very hard to stop playing it.

Just found my first illusory wall. In the Roads End Catacombs. How many walls have I hit to find just one?

Yeah as nano says, when you get to a new area you'll see it all brown on your map and you can slowly remove the mist til you see a wee obelisk icon. That's your jobbie.

Me neither. Glad there's no weapon degradation in this game as I've been bashing my sword against stone walls pretty much constantly.

Turns out there are about 5 illusory walls in this dungeon but you canโt get to the boss door without finding them so maybe too easy to find?

Two mysteries:
Someone singing near the cliffs ? Ghost white "footprints" following a pattern on a beach ?

I'm in a town near the Caelid Swamp, with a load of invisible guys that look like the Burger King uh, King. Wankers just suddenly appear in front of you ! I've also eneterd a fog gate here and had a mini-boss battle with a Nox Swordstress and Priest . Pretty much destroyed them with Rock Sling magic, so good. There was a reward in a chest here with a new Sorcerer staff, needs 52 Int though! Looks funky as hell, but will have to wait quite a while! I love discovering stuff off the cuff like this, it's so much fun. This is right up there as one of the best openworld games ever, it blows so much other copy-cat ubisoft icon-fest shit to dust. I've just been round the corner from this location and entered a mine. Took care of everyone here too, especially some giant prawn guys with a nasty ranged attack . Love it.

suicida So you beat the ghostly boatman ? Time to go back to Roundtable and talk to a certain NPC! Not sure who you mean, the only new conversation I had when I went back was the spirit tuner and I can now upgrade ashes summons unless there's someone I haven't unlocked yet? (don't tell me who if that is the case)

It was just one of those bat-like creatures, but with a human face and more grey. It stopped singing when I came near. Killed it without any difficulty and it didn't attack, even though it was definitely an enemy.

Yes you are wuntyate, you can do it! Yeah, do it wunty, no backing out! I haven't even got to Godrick yet and you've already kicked his arse. At the very least enjoy some comic capers there and be ready to cross off your Souls bingo card "what the f**k just killed me" list ๐. Heh, well I will go back there but tbh Liurnia is just too cool. I've been pissing about in it for ages and barely scratched the surface.

(don't tell me who if that is the case) That's weird. For me there was a guy in armor sitting by the round table who had already told me to watch out for a dead mariner. He had more to say once I'd killed the ghost boatman. Maybe I did something to unlock that character?
