After doing some "story beats" you will arrive a place and meet some NPC that offers you incantations (faith points), to be able to cast that kind of magic you will need equip a sacred seal.
Try them all for 10 min. Whatever you start with in terms of armor and weapon could easily be what you're stuck with for 20 hours. 100% less gear than in any other Souls game. Starting choice is a lot more significant.gonna play it in few minutes!
still not sure about which class to go with
Tbh I really thought I won't gonna buy it that early because I had GT7 preordered but oh well :d
Absolutely, graphics no matter how good it can be but it will get surpassed with the time, but awesome art direction never get old.
How much time have you put into the game? I beat him pretty early on, like 2 hours in, mostly because my buddy was insisting on it. I haven't bothered with any main quest related things since. There's so much stuff to explore, if you haven't been venturing out far and wide, definitely do so. I'll honestly probably be at 30-40 hours before I even consider seeking out the 2nd boss.I can't get past the first boss.
Still, the game is brilliant, I went off to explore since I was failing against that boss, and the enemy placement is still stellar.
The mechanics feel like the most refined soulsborne game to date and I actually do not dread exploring the open world, because it's actually interesting. I already hated the copy/paste by the numbers AC games and after this, it'll be difficult to get back to playing those games.
No don't attack her or you will screw yourself and have to reset NPC affinity. You will get those cool looking head pieces later in the game.
No. It'll lower your health a bit. it can be removed but just save yourself the hassle and don't let her hug you.
I've been there.
yeah I don't think this is going into spoiler territory since I'll keep it vague, but that's how I found my wolf mask
Seriously, it's honestly kind of pathetic. Anyone remotely interested in video games has likely heard of the brutal difficulty in Souls games and that they are kind of like modern NES titles. It's the reason they're so appealing. There is no shortage of games that provide easy modes and quest logs. The moaning is just beyond me. Embrace the game and conquer it or just move on. Whining about it just makes you look like a child.
The Sekiro one took a while but it was damned thorough
Hmmm. This is my first experience with this series, and all that vigor and dexterity, but only 12 strength and not an obvious magic build, is very interesting. Is dexterity more important than strength for melee? I never would have thought that.is there a better feeling than this? went to level up, exact soul amount, zero waste
yeah I don't think this is going into spoiler territory since I'll keep it vague, but that's how I found my wolf mask
which is still the best melee mask I've found so far
depends on your build
I'm building astrologer, but like to have some melee ability. I am definitely going to copy the dexterity >>>>strength model now. Thank you.
without getting into spoiler territory, I have run into some AMAZING weapons that scale with both dexterity and intelligence
What is the name of this item? I first hugged her a long time ago and have absolutely no idea what she gave me lol
baldachins blessing or something like that
Just had this happen last night. First time in any of the Souls games it's happened to me.
The typical Souls fanbase sentiment is alive and well I see. Zero criticism or dissenting opinions allowed. But don't make a separate thread to voice complaints either. Just unanimous praise or it's the user's fault 100% of the time.
Hero is the way, easy fast rolling and that axe will be useful for the entire game.
I don't mind if it is difficult but I can understand the frustration with it. But I know what I am going into when I start. I am going to die, but I am also going to get better and a unique experience.
It does in fact make it easier, but a lot of players don't know how to actually make the most of their summons, like don't attack after somebody already attack, you'll just get caught in the boss' counter.
Pope Turtle is awesome.
You've already helped me today but I'm gonna be the cousin that never leaves on Thanksgiving and try picking your brain a little more (while I wish I was home playing).
What you're seeing is scaling changes, heavy scales with strength, quality with strength and dex, and keen scales with dex (there's more that scale with other stats).
I'm new to souls games so honestly other people who are souls vets in this thread would likely be able to get you better feedback
Thank you!
There are whetstones/knives you can find in the world, that will allow you to apply different types to the ash, so you'll be able to use an ash without bothering to level up stats you don't want, you will then be able to just apply "keen" if you are dex focussed for example.
Oh, come on dude. I say this as someone who genuinely appreciates you as a member of Gaf but you gotta get over whatever hang-ups you have about the difficulty.
The combat is definitely tighter with more options, but I am a little sad that we can't climb up an ogre and stab it in the eye like in DD. That type of combat would have elevated this game to 11 out of 10.
Elemental damage items, such as bombs or grease.
Very true. Fighting a regular ass ogre was an epic encounter in Dragon's Dogma. Climbing is definitely a mechanic Elden Ring could use.
All kinds of things, though it depends on the crafting books that you've obtained. The Santa Claus looking NPC in the Church of Elleh sells you the crafting item, in case you haven't bought it.
