think I might switch from katanas to whips to mix things up, whips seem so badass in this game

Maybe your armour is weak against the boss element type (don't know what are you facing)

Astel, stars of darkness. Optional copypasta boss.
Had issues with his teleport insta death grabs. No armor can save me from those, I fear. But I lucked out and beat him a few moments ago.

Pretty cool location, I massively had to compress the picture to upload it here though, as it wouldn't let me upload the 12 mb original.
I do wish there was a way I could just help people through areas, I seem to only just get summoned at late game bosses.

EDIT: Assume you've met her in the shack first and she gave you jellyfish? But she ends up there automatically I think. Theres a bit of dialogue to be had then she sets up shop next to blacksmith.

You'll need Grave Glovewarts to upgrade them.

It means it gets more powerful the more points you have in Str and Dex, but not much, hence D. The best scaling letters are S, then A, B, etc.
Most of the time if something scales S or A with a given attribute it will also require a lot of points in that attribute e.g. one Greatsword with A in Strength requires 40 to wield.

You have to beat a boss in Lumaria Academy, it’ll be obvious when you do

That's my next step. Was there already but somehow I didn't explore south of Limgrave so I've been doing that. Kinda "done" there now I feel so back to Lumaria!

I stumbled upon
Got my ass handed to me by the boss at the end and lost 18K runes.
Can't wait to come back to it later. I really enjoyed the visuals.
This game is as incredibly addictive as it is difficult.

Nah they don’t. Just don’t use it. I’m happy it’s strong. You’re free to not use it.

If you are talking about the Grand Lift of Dectus; there is another way.
Always another way.

The letters D to A attached to some stats basically indicate how much that stat counts in the formula for calulating the damage the weapon does. So a weapon with D in Str and B in Dex means that levelling up Dex yields more damage output in that particular formula.
With the uchigatana I think the recommended stats have been STR 18 and DEX 40. And 18 in STR being a drop-off point where more STR did not yield more damage or was not worth it. While DEX you could go beyond the 40 softcap and still get 1 more point in the attack power per level up. Or 2 points per 3 levels, something like that.
Therefore you want your main weapon to scale up to an S with your main stat. The uchigatana only scales up to an A Ior B I think, while the Chaos Blade katana for example goes up to an S in Dark Souls 2. Which is why Im looking for a DEX katana that goes to S in Elden Ring but I havent found one or heard about one yet.

No, it asks after credits, so just be careful not to hit yes.

Finger places a sign in a specific location, the effigy sends a summon sign to all summoning pools to every player within summon range (level / weapon upgrade) in the server, so you can be summoned to different locations (while the finger only works in the location you placed the sign)
I'm 122 hours in, and I believe I'm on the last boss now. I glossed over Leyndell and Caelid. I think its impossible to 'complete' this game in under 50 hours without missing substantial content, I know for certain that I myself have missed various npcs possibly hidden locations while searching every nook and cranny, because I lost track of quests I was following and there is still a part of the map I cant figure out how to get to. If you're playing this blind and figuring things out for yourself there is enough content here to keep you going well beyond 150 hours. That being said if you're just running through demigods you could be done with the game in under 50 hours.

a warning to every one going to the hero grave dungeons in this game , MAKE SURE YOU DONT HAVE ANY RUNES BEFORE YOU EXPLORE THOSE.
I finished my first blind run at about 110 hours, trying to explore everything and do everything. I still missed so much it was mind bending. By the time I went back and done everything I missed I was at 125 hours then when riding through the frost mountain area in ng+ I found an evergoal i had missed. So good, it's like your own personel mmo without all the shit. Well until you get invaded but they add a bit of spice.

29 hours in and just past the academy and all of Limgrave plus a good chunk of Lunaria down myself, I think the game is very front loaded

My mission to get comet azur was a successful one.
It's a game that demands you take your time and absorb its world, and it is so rewarding when you do so. I went back to Limgrave to not long ago and found a night time boss, it's amazing how easy it is to completely miss things. Does ng+ reset the entire map? I'd imagine it does right?

Man, I've been really pumped for the weekend. Work and responsibilities consume most of my time during the week so I haven't been able to get a solid play session in lately. The wife will be out of town so I'll have the place to myself. Gonna do nothing but play Elden Ring baby!
Just got to the Royal Capital last night while searching for the key to get into Raya Lucaria. Had to take a secret path because I didn't have the medallion to activate the Grand Lift of Dectus. I love that FromSoft always provides an alternate path to discover - I feel like it adds so much variety to how you progress through the game. Next playthrough I'll probably skip the hidden path and find the other half of the medallion. It was an epic evening to say the least. Can't wait to see what's in store for today.
Okay, I gotta say it - this game feels like something out of a dream. Like I'll be playing and literally have the thought run through my head "I can't believe a game like this exists" - it's just that good. Obviously, not a perfect game, but it's damn near close for me.

the boss is................TWO crucible knights at once
You keep the actual map fragments so u don't need to collect those again, but you lose all grace locations and all major key items like previous souls games (you keep torrent, can ride straight outside the first door to the world). Everything resets though yeh, you can get a second weapon you want to dual wield etc. There doesn't seem to be any upgraded items from what i've seen, like how ng+ in ds3/ds2 had upgraded charms everything here seems to be exactly the same just have more life, do more damage and give more runes.

What I did: greatshield or any shield with 100% phy and high stability, the higher the better
When she goes for the specialz just get the shield up and tank everything, also change damage increasing amulets for def, remove radagon's soreseal if you're using it
Got it in like 5 tries i think, i have mimic+10 tho

I've given up trying to understand them. They seemingly have no weaknesses to exploit. They're a master of all trades and you just need to pray luck is on your side when you go against them
