had to shut it off, I was getting frustrated like the Souls games of old haha..

I'm only 30 hours in but yeah, I did the castle already and it's really freaking deadly, I hate those feaking eagles soooo much.

There is also soooo freaking much in there, it's alot to unpack lol. Literally hours and hours to explore it all. Might want to take a break halfway through and go explore the wilderness more.

Highly suggest before doing any of the harder content (such as godrick etc) that you have.

A: A good summon you like, possibly leveled up. Jellyfish works pretty well early on due to poison and survivability.

B: good ranged attack. If your going non-magic you can make a bow work, but a ranged spells is really useful. I used the fireball incantation which you can charge. It one shots (when charged) the feaking eagles....who suck...hard.....so yeah, have something like that.

C: a way to heal outside of potions. Honestly unless you feel like exploring all over and getting like 10 flasks or something (I did the castle with 6), you need heal at some points (or I guess god level skill heh). It's way more efficient to use melee for killing most stuff (of which there is tons) and just ranged spells on eagles/bats etc.

That'll get you through it, though the more you prepare the better and you don't really get anything for beating him and activating the rune (It adds +5 to all stats but only till you die, which you will do when your fighting anything actually tough or exploring dangerous places...so basically you won't have the stats when you need them.
