(+) Yeah! (+)

This game is definitely not forgiving to newbies lol. I'm about six hours in and feel like I haven't really done anything. Enjoying it though.

Are you shitting me?

Yesssssssssss

That grinding spot is pretty easy, one backstab and four pebbles from my astrologer clear them out safely.

Actually run out of enemies before mp, thanks for the vid.

Now I need to decide where to spend all my points...

I think endurance is a newbie trap in this game like it was in Bloodborne.

The only trap stat is vigor

Only invested two points in str so far to use my sword. The rest are vig, mind, and int.

Have to dump another 12k pts because I want to suicide run from some weapons/items

I only got to play a couple hours today, but damn this game is great.

Mounted combat definitely gets a lot better as you get familiar with it and better at timing your swings

The unable to summon cooperator is getting very annoying

Fuck :(

and now just Magma Wyrm killed me. The Gael Tunnels are brutal but beatable. Hate those old geezers with the giant pickaxes. They're not as weak as they look.

Ugh only ine summon sign is appearing like every 5 minutes and it's an instant unable to summon.

Made it to the Beastial Sanctum and got fucking 1-hit obliterated by a stupid gnome outside.

And summoning is still broken :(

Started out Wretch. Got outside. Killed by the horse riding asshole. Cleared the camp. Nearly shit myself killing the archers and the giant troll/giant dude.

And I still can't find a pair of pants!!!

I know, I'm almost at level 50 now and am definitely gonna need to respec sometime.

idk about anyone else but Caelid and the rotted highway relieves my patience for Bloodborne 2.

Just absolutely unnerving and twisted moreso than the rest of the lands.

Check near the Erdtree in the area east of the starting map

I swear the notes in this game are so fucking funny; everyone is on point. Saw one in Roundtable next to a suit of armor like "no legs, therefore grab pickle" with a gesture reaching out to grab the crotch

Another like "first of all bird, what gives you the right" next to one of those castle hawks lol

The Makar fight is just the fucking stupid Laurence fight again. No one liked that shitty boss except dumb trolls.

Anyone light the beacons in Sellia? Found a powerful staff, basically the Tin Crystallization Catalyst from DS1

Anyone catch the Iron Throne reference?

Yeah, I spent an hour yesterday bullheadedly trying to kill one slightly advanced guard lol.

I have a hard time leveling up

I feel like I'm missing out on a lot of a game with my full intelligence build. The lack of staves, robes, interesting intelligence spells etc. Definitely wish I went a faith/dex build

There is the meteor staff with s class int scaling near caleid (sp), non upgradeable though. It gives a boost to gravity sorcery and there is the rock sling spell nearby that does good damage and lifts 3 glowing mini boulders to throw at an enemy.

If you dont mind using the wiki there is actually a lot of cool sorcery spells.

I just spent the last four hours collecting golden seeds and sacred tears... now have 8 +5 flasks woo

Havent played since friday because of homework. I cant wait to play it again. I really need to upgrade my gear and stuff

Volcano Manor

Is it an axe?

It's a colossal weapon

Aw yeah I'm 7 charges and +4 heals. I feel good baby. I'm finally starting to storm the big castle and I beat the shit outta that weird guy with a tail. He got me twice though that thunder hammer was bonkers and he combos like crazy.

I met Margit but decided to explore down south near fort morne. How are there still areas around limgrave I haven't explored?

Also, does anyone know what to do for the woman chained up, in the dungeon underneath the poison area?

Be awhile before you can do anything about that.

Grind against the undead skeleton foes or keep redoing the Gael Tunnel. Those enemies seem to offer well over 500 runes per if that's your problem.

Speaking of Gael Tunnel the Moonveil is great

If I had samurai attire I'd dig it. Still stuck in my Bloodborne cosplay (Confessor). Clothes are so very sparse throughout the country and you'll just randomly find crap looking stuff like the Traveller's set in the Swamp of A-whatever it's called.

btw FromSoft heard our pleas concerning poison swamps and thankfully Torrent is immune to rot. Problem is there's some weird bug or conflict happening when it comes to certain open areas blocking you from riding your horse for no rhyme or reason. Maybe it's invasions?

All of a sudden I'm kicked off my horse at the swamp, I'm immediately building up rot/frenzy, and then dead. All because of some fucking invader 50m away so idk what's that all about -______-

Just beat Godrick 1v1, just me and him :)

So how much non-Int or Mind should my Astrologer be doing? Like my first dozen levels was all Int/Mind but I'm afraid that that amount of specialization will get me screwed. Also it just doesn't feel like I'm doing notably more damage or able to cast more.

Have you been upgrading your staff?

Did I fuck up the Irina sidequest or is it just fucking dark god damn I liked her why ;_;

Sidequest related question do not click if you do not want spoilers on anything.

You should be good, AirFresh. I think that's supposed to happen.
