Just beat Phalanx.

This (and Elden Ring) are the two souls games I haven't yet played. I love going back to these primitively designed areas. Boletaria Palace is tightly designed and essential for a newcomer. It's clear how much of a spiritual successor Dark Souls is.

Phalanx went down without much hassle but I can understand how newer players would get absolutely slotted.
But it's necessary because the fight teaches you spacing, precision, timing and using the environment to your advantage. The fact that the game drops shit loads of firebombs and pine resins is a clear clue to be using fire against them.

I'm playing a Mage/melee character so I'm going to hopefully meet a Sorcery teacher soon.
I'm assuming those 3 people that show up in the nexus sell you miracles. My faith is 6 so I take it they won't sell me shit.

Have a feeling you get magic from Tower of Latria so I'm going there next.
