So those sewers didn't go anywhere, just some catacombs. Sure did take every opportunity to fool me into thinking I was getting somewhere only to find out it looped back to the same area. Three times this happened. Even the catacombs led back. Why.

Gave up on Leyndell and instead went to finish Ranni's quest which led me to the upper half of Ainsel river... uh flying ants are much more terrifying than regular ants. Yikes!

On the flipside mount ants are hilarious

So the item you give to the roundtable merchants to get them to start selling smithing stones is located in a cave in Liurnia right? Does anyone happen to know where it is? It's near the lake, i think?

So, how do I get to the other half of ant land? Am I missing a tunnel or is there another elevator? I can clearly see things happening so far below I would die if I jumped

I can teleport to the ants from the underground river you access from the Mistwood elevator.

not sure if thats what you meant as you are certainly far ahead of me. Also I saw the ants and said nope so I dont even know what they do. Fuck them

as a souls noob who is also playing vagabond melee - bumping HP is fine, it's good to boost endurance as well. I think Dex 12 gets you an awesome halberd. Also try an equipment setup where you have medium load instead of heavy load - your dodges are better. You don't magically become an invincible acrobat, but you'll be able to escape combos and such. Try that for a bit and then try to go back to heavy load, that's when you'll really notice the difference haha.

Oh I'm never going back to Heavy again. You start as Heavy and it's awful. First thing I did was get back down to Medium.

I still find myself too button mashy. I'm like "oh shit, roll, roll, roll" and then half my stamina is gone, the enemy is still in strike range, and I can't tank the hit without losing stance.

I agree I need to get a ranged weapon. One on one I'm not too bad but once I have 3-4 things attacking me at once it's game over.

I'm still using the starting Long Sword, though upgraded it to +1. I think I have the materials to level it further but I'm not sure that's the best idea. I should likely spend some time with some of the other melee weapons I've gotten to test them out, though I am very partial to swords.

Even if you like the way the long sword plays, theres probably better/more interesting versions of it you can find later. So probably dont commit too many materials to it if you dont have to.

Conversely, you can find a way to buy the mats for up to +6 from an npc, so as long as you're not upgrading every weapon you find, you will be fine long term if you upgrade to +3 now. The materials will make their way to you.

Even as a swordmage I put my vigor to 25 lol. A bit of overkill, especially with the +5 from the Great Rune, but I was just so sick of getting 1 and 2 shot by everything in melee.

My level is in the mid 40s so it's a little bit of a misplay as I am getting slightly behind on damage and FP and sorely underestimated how crazy high the endgame INT requirements would be but oh well.

Once you activate it with its tower quest, you can equip it at a Grace menu. Then you have to pop a Rune Arc to turn its buff on and it lasts until you die.

If it's working you should see its symbol on the square by your health bar which will glow when active.

Use a rune arc. You can find them out and about in the world, or by helping another player with a boss in co-op.

I've only used it once and it was a massive boost. A boss that had been giving me hell before was suddenly very beatable.

It also lasts for hours.
Edit: oh or maybe I just didn't die for hours afterwards.

You get Rune Arcs by helping people defeat bosses with co-op play.

Rats also sometimes drop them.

All the vendors I've found selling them so far have been limited and fairly expensive (about 4k per rune arc). Others can feel free to correct me on that.

Doing co-op is "free" though apart from the time investment. Doing summon pools in areas you outlevel can maybe be an easy way to farm - I was getting summoned in Weeping Peninsula in the late 30s/early 40s range by players demolishing things, easy runes.

They also drop from rats which is maybe more efficient if you have an area with a bunch of those. Idk the drop rate though. You'll want drop rate and/or Arcane buffs.

Overall it's a lot higher risk/reward than past Humanity mechanics due to scarcity and cost but it's a pretty big reward.

Faith is pretty frontloaded for the early game stuff. Blue zone after getting past the first hurdle is tons of Int, then there's sporadic faith and Int in the red zone, and then the gold zone is faith central. White zone I have no idea about yet, haven't been there.

From the first area:

On the broken bridge leading there with the hint lady telling you there's a way to use the castle to go forward, you can simply drop down and walk around the edge of the castle.

Yeah it's insane how much of the map is open from the start with no major story progression needed.

I've only explored those two areas, got my second great rune, and was told I can enter the capital now, which is the first story gate I've found - though I'm skeptical there was no other way in! Haven't been over there.

You mean the mounted guy? I thought that was how you were supposed to get in as I did that. I was just trying to figure out how to fill in the map parts near the center and north.

No, wasnt mounted. Theres a teleport that plops you high above the city, but the only thing I could find there is a mini boss and an (admittedly great) crest

Also, the long tailed cat talisman has been the biggest disappointment so far. It says it stops fall damage so I immediately went to some places where I was too high to see if it unlocked them and nope. If a fall would kill you outright it still kills you.

Can confirm it does not, if you're talking about the large mechanical statue (beefier version of the ones you fight on the way to the Limgrave Tower) sitting in the room next to where you get ported to.

Oh shoot, what? That would be very strange, since it's literally just a regular enemy - not a miniboss or a boss. Or maybe we're not talking about the same guy?

The situation I'm talking about is that I got ported into the capital by randomly opening a chest in a watchtower in the Weeping Peninsula. It landed me next to a site of grace, and there was one of those statues/giant automatons in the neighbouring room, which I narrowly defeated. Nothing happened after, since it was just a regular enemy, albeit a tough one. Not sure if it respawns, but I think not.

I did not fight the boss past activation, but there was a teleporter to the capital that took me to a grace with an enormous golem on the ground outside that looked dead before it got up. I'm pretty sure we're talking about the same one.

My info is literally just a casual mention from someone 2 days after the game came out though, I have no reason to suspect legitimacy or otherwise, I did not look into it.
