I bought a sex doll, but I keep it inflated 100% of the time and use it like a regular wife
Yeah, I think I figured it out thanks to the key's item description.
And I agree that it might be the easiest to follow. Hell, I think ot's one of the few quests I actually completed.

I was trying to make the Great Stars work, but man - the slow speed on these weapons drives me insane, same goes for Golden Halberd, etc. So as not to run the whole game with a Long Sword I switched to Meteoric Ore Blade, but I need to put a bit in Int.

i just wear whatever looks cool. you can't upgrade armor (i don't think so anyway) so really it doesn't matter too much. wear your cool shit while kicking ass.

I looked at Polygon's guide to Ranni's questline every step of the way, no shame in googling the hell out of anything in this game.

I'm not a halberd person if I'm honoust. More of a Sword slut
I heard that From is soon releasing a 60fps patch for current gen consoles(PS5/Series S|X). It'll be released around afternoon today.
Seriously though when the fuck is it coming? I'm loving the game, but I know it can run better than this, they haven't even provided a lie date for the optimization patch yet.
April fools.

Think about it this way - in the past game manuals were a 100 pages printed book that gave you all the lore details. Nowadays you have in-game tutorials.

Nope, only guides I used really were for questlines or checking if I missed anything in an areaBeating the game has taken you 100 hours less than me, what the fuck.

Alright guys, trying to decide what to do…should I go ahead kill the Fire Giant so I can unlock Crumbling to get access to highest tier smithing stones, but not kill the boss to avoid burning the capital OR clean up other areas and save it for last. There is still a lot to do although, and I’d love to experiment with various weapons. What do you think? I won’t kill the final boss at Crumbling until the very end.

Unlock Crumbling first and then clean up and explore Crumbling. After that you can beat the boss there and continue on.

Godrick is down. Died twice. Wasn't too bad honestly. Between both PC &PS5 versions, I've got a total of over 80 hours or so, level 55.
I've been trying to beat Rennala all day. I've come so close a couple times but the fucking controls screwed me up both times. Spammed Rock Sling on her and it was doing massive damage each time but then I ran out of FP, used a potion, used it all up again, and then instead of switching to my axe to finish her off I accidentally switched potions instead and was wondering why my axe wasn't working. I still had the staff out. Literally one swing would've taken her out. And if it's not the controls beating me it's those damn spells that kill me in 1 hit. First phase is pretty easy to do but it's really annoying and so is that long ass run from the grace point.

I think in terms of best katanas. Meteor blade doesn't get the love it deserves. It is lightning fast and does a ton of damage even at +6. It's faster than Uchi and Moonveil. I dual wield it as left armament and I usually start attacking with left attacks because of how fast it is.

I am thinking of dual wielding since I get the impression every enemy breaks my block in 2-3 hits.
zkorejo

I have been dual wielding ever since I got the second katana (meteore) with Uchi as right armament. Rolling attack (O + L1) with these two katanas does a ton of damage and usually dodges whatever enemy is throwing at you. Running attack with l1 also does two lightning attacks. Doing two more left light attacks then causes blood loss to enemies doing ton of damage.
I only use bow, shield or staffs when my formula isn't working on some enemies.
Replaced Uchi with Moonveil for magic attack. Since my build is dex/int.

I just lost a few hours worth of my game time which included several catacombs, mines and dungeon bosses. Game randomly crashed taking the PS5 down with it when fighting a dragon and when it came back all the progress I had made since yesterday was gone. From should rethink their autosave feature for this game and allow manual multisave feature. I've read that many have lost their entire progress due to game crashes.

I’m full Str and Meteor Blade is nice since it scales primarily with that stat.

Ask me about my Stream Deck
I don't know if this was shared anywhere, but I've discovered a way to get into Leyndell almost immediately.
From Limgrave, head south to the Weeping Peninsula and make your way to the Tower of Return in the west. Use the trap chest to warp to the Divine Bridge point of grace in Leyndell.
Normally you would be stuck without much to do except get a talisman and warp away, however if you can manage to get invaded here, the invader often spawns at the bottom of the elevator and can activate it to bring it up. Once this happens you can travel into Leyndell as you wish.
This is much easier to accomplish with the Taunter's Tongue, but that will require a trip to roundtable and beating Alberich if you don't have a friend to summon and trigger invasions.

Firstly, I'm not too good at this game, it takes me ages to get through alive. Maliketh was ruining me, until I tried him solo when I killed him first time. I was surprised how much easier this game is when you dont summon, and use spirits instead. I killed the Haligtree boss first time like this as well.

Finally finished it. Excellent game but the boss fights need a lot of work, or some major rebalancing.
Most of the bosses I found pretty easy being a souls veteran but a couple completely slayed me. I've only beaten a boss the first time, a handful of times in a Souls games, but here it happened more often that not.
The main problem I have, is that as a souls nut, a lot of the bosses I've seen before, or at least their movesets before, so they didn't seem special or provide much of a challenge.
I was disappointed with most of them, except when they looked cool, like the Snake God. But then I was thinking, if you'd never played a souls game I think they would appear fresher, but they would probably just overwhelm you with their sheer number and how difficult they are.
It's quite an exhausting game, a multitude of riches, but I think the open world formula shows the cracks in From's formula -- The bosses just don't have that much to offer in terms of gameplay, especially when there are so many of them. By the end it's a bit dull and can be highly irritating. It's made for people who live video games, and want a true escape from their lives, certainly not anyone who just wants a break from work.
Most of From's games suffer from a weak / unfinished end game and this is no exception. It's a superb game and probably game of the year but Bloodborne is still king.

i'm level 81 now. 62 hours in. got my uchigatana to +18. still switching between that and my bloodhound fang because the bloodhound fang is dealing way more damage. i found a dagger i like (wakizashi) so have been levelling that up and switching out my shield to use that in my left hand while using the uchigatana in my right. i have got to deeproot depths + lake of rot but not sure i should be there yet. have explored some of dragonbarrow but i'll come back to that later. i should really head to altus! i got both parts of the medallion now. i've progressed the ranni quest to the point i unlocked the chest in the academy.
also went to the inverted carian study hall. fought fatty on the bridge and found an item but i don't know what to do with it. the rememberances i got from fighting bosses i sold to level up. i'm not really interested in ushing their gear so it's no use to me.
my character looked like this for a bit:

Mimic +10 is so fucking insane, I'm really happy they didn't nerf it too hard because it's such a great help when I can't beat a boss on my own.
