Is this normal or do I just suck? The latter I'm sure. I've done some cheesing and got the Bloodhounds Fang sword that's +6 and I still feel I'm just lightly chipping away at bosses and tougher enemies. I tried going in mostly blind and I'm worried I did my character wrong or something. --- http://i.imgur.com/hslUvRN.jpg When I sin I sin real good. ... Copied to Clipboard!

Are you using summons? I genuinely feel like you're not playing the game as intended if you avoid them, the game tries hard to direct them towards you. Otherwise, make sure you have enough vigor to not get one shot, and try different directions if you're hitting a wall. The "intended" progression through areas is not intuitive imo. It's very easy to go somewhere you aren't ready for. --- http://i.imgur.com/1XbPahR.png ... Copied to Clipboard!

Up until around where you're probably at, a nice bleed weapon really does the trick for most bosses. Kinda around the halfway mark I switched to like pure magic. You should have a decent bow too. Lots of crafting material for fire arrows or whatever everywhere you go. As the other poster said, you want your vitality/vigor to be basically soft capped if you're in the later stages of Elden Ring Happy hunting ... Copied to Clipboard!

Level vigor regularly as you play. Zones do not scale to your level, they are locked. Use summons if you want, they help. Weapon level and infusion matters WAY more than damaging stats until you hit 40 or up in a stat with A scaling. My breakpoints for vigor are: Limgrave: 15-20 Liurnia: 20-25 Caelid south: 20-30 Plateau: 30-35 Capitol: 35-40 Mountaintop: 40-45 Any vigor higher than that is whatever. I usually stop at 40 personally. --- Psn: beastlytoast Left-handed fire-slapsies leave me feeling confused about life. - Merydia ... Copied to Clipboard!

I use summons, but have trouble where they can't be used. I've been using the Bloodhound's Fang, a kite shield on and off and am decked out in Godrick Knight armor. Here's my stats: Vigor - 22 (Guessing this is the problem) Mind - 12 Endurance - 23 Strength - 30 Dexterity - 27 Int - 9 Faith - 8 Arcane - 8 Just to note besides the very little I've read I have absolutely know idea what I'm doing or where I'm suppose to go. I've just been exploring and killing stuff and dying. Been having fun with it though so *shrug*. I think a big problem is me not being able to get timing right for various things like parrying and dodging. I think I'm starting to show my age where I'm not as quick as I used to be. --- http://i.imgur.com/hslUvRN.jpg When I sin I sin real good. ... Copied to Clipboard!

Vigor being leveled over 40 is pointless because of the healing amount you get from maxing the Crimson Flask. It actually makes more sense to dump into Strength after you reach 40 because it raises your damage AND gives increased defense. --- "You're made of spare parts, aren't ya, bud?" ...

Itll mean crafting, sometimes, but stillcoating your sword thereby exploiting a weakness can make shit go more smoothly sometimes.

I have 54 vigor or something and there are still certain attacks that will nearly oneshot me. Better to drink two flasks to fill up than to save one and just be dead.

pegusus123456 posted... Nah, I disagree with that. I have 54 vigor or something and there are still certain attacks that will nearly oneshot me. Better to drink two flasks to fill up than to save one and just be dead. Okay, exactly 40 vigor isn't the best hard cap. 45 is fine. It's just +12 flask heals 810 HP and it doesn't go any higher. 2 is 1620. 45 vigor is 1581 hp. You hit diminished health returns in vigor levels after 40. Strength gives you .5 phys defense every level from lvl 31 to 40. Then it gives you .75 physical defense from 41 to 60. You don't really survive damage better with just 200 more HP. It actually makes more sense to try and level strength to around lvl 50 because of the defense boost. This game seems to WANT you to do that, given how much damage you take LATE game EVEN WITH the best Physical Defense ring. --- "You're made of spare parts, aren't ya, bud?" ... Copied to Clipboard!

meestermj posted... What area are you in? Story wise still in the first area. I've only bothered to go to Stormveil Castle and beat Margit at the very start of it last night. Didn't progress any more yet. I've gone out and explored other areas like Liurnia of the Lakes and Caelid a bit and even got the two pendent things to activate the big lift thing to get to Atlus Plateau thanks to a little bit of research I've done. Other than that and looking up stuff locations for some somber smithing stones, I'm going in blind. I basically go exploring in unknown parts after I level up in case I die and get stuck in a bad spot to where I can't get my runes back. I'm sure I'm playing this game in a weird messed up way, but I've been having fun with it. --- http://i.imgur.com/hslUvRN.jpg When I sin I sin real good. ... Copied to Clipboard!

if you're using bloodhound's whatever you don't want to level dex beyond the min amount necessary, str is a lot better until you hit the soft cap which is 45 or 55? even tho the weapon has a better dex scaling rating the str one is still good and str gives you dmg reduction every level for some reason. personally i do not like vigor but everyone else does, as long as i don't get 1-shot i'm fine, and i rarely did until very late game ...
