Awesome thanks. I'm going for a spellsword with a leaning towards 75% spell, 25% sword.

Ah yeah I misunderstood. I didn't realize he was teleported like ... directly into the boss fight. Then yeah the game shouldn't force you to basically win or stop playing.
Haven't had this happen to me yet. Pretty brutal!

Don't give up skeleton!Is the Tree Sentinel spoilery? It’s seen at the start of the game so I don’t think so, but if it is:

Keep at him! Felt nice to be able to ride around there fearlessly once you take him out.Is the Tree Sentinel spoilery? It’s seen at the start of the game so I don’t think so, but if it is:
Appreciate the spoiler tag man. I wish others would be a little courteous and use them too. A lot of us are still in Limgrave.

Well i feel dumb. Blank is OP.
Used the key to get into the room with mimic chest but never went thru til after i beat Blaidd. Got the mimic now and its fucking OP. Killed the Lord and King easily. This is like cheating, lol. My ass forgot to use the exp pots on those 2 mobs, could’ve got more runes.

I've heard Stormveil Castle referred to as the first area you go to, but I'm starting to think it's not, and it's used as an incentive to explore elsewhere.
Castle Mourne seems more achievable in the early game and that is not in the early map area.

The game surely feels like most later boss battels are designed with spirits.
They are dumb and dont do much dmg but the deistraciton is welcome.
Summons are still summons... boss hp gets such a big boost, it's rarely worth it.
I dont think sprits rise boss hp
Swift_Star
yes. Like most major "bad asses streamers" who play games every day for 12 hours and say "bruh this game is easy, I want challange not cheap summons"... that's why these games difficulty sucks for most of us

i'm ~14 hours in and haven't faced the first boss yet. seems to have only been mini bosses so far. im lvl 25 with +4 sword +2 shield. unlocked 3 map areas. every time i say i'm going to go face the boss i end up going to explore. i know i'm still at the start of the game but holy shit From Software knocked it out the park with this game. I'm going to struggle going back to Dark Souls. I really hope Elden Ring isn't a one off like Bloodborne/Sekiro and they plan on doing Elden Ring 2.
I don't get how magic damage works. Maybe someone here can help me.
I am playing a prisoner, so my main stats are dex and int. I found the horn bow and it has 30 magic damage. It should do more damage than the longbow because physical and magic damage combined should be greater than the physical damage of the longbow. However, the Longbox outperforms the Horn Bow against every type of enemy. I wonder if the magic damage of the Horn Bow can only be had when using a special kind of arrow and not with standard arrows. Which would suck. Because I need a bow only form some situations when I want to snipe an annoying enemey from afar.

Just started playing on PS5. WOW, the performance is even worse than I thought it would be. There's CONSTANT hitching, the game is NEVER a smooth 60. Ever. Even in the tiny room you start in, where there's literally nothing going on, there's hitching just from turning the camera around. Really pathetic. I think I would prefer a 30fps cap over this, but we all know FromSoft is incapable of properly implementing one of those.
Having fun other than that though.
A question: When you finish a dungeon or whatever (which I guess you've done when you've killed the boss), is there any indication of this on the map, or do you have to keep track of what you've already done and not yourself?

apparently it's better to play the PS4 version on PS5 than the PS5 version lol. so might explain your problems. i'm on PC and there's some minor frame drops but performance is great. hopefully they patch the PS5 version lol.
nah there isn't. what i do is mark caves/catacombs/etc with markers if i haven't been in. once i clear them then remove them. i keep a mental note of the ones i've cleared and if there's no marker then i either haven't discovered it or i've beat it. it's not too difficult to deal with tbh.

I bought the physical PS5 version though, so I have no way to access the PS4 version.
Alright, thanks. I was thinking of maybe marking COMPLETED ones, but maybe there won't be enough markers for that?
Or maybe I should just not treat the game as a checklist of things to complete. But that's hard for me, lol.

Mwahahahaha, so true.
From has been cheesing me for 10 years with broken hitboxes, magnetized magics and arrows, teleporting attacks, enemies that kill me through walls. I’m fully willing to use every dirty trick in the box against the game. They give me the summonz, I’mma using the summonz.

that sucks. hopefully they'll fix the PS5 version then.
i think you only are allowed up to 100 markers so it's better to only mark ones you discover and remove when completed. it can be a bit of a pain to remember what you have done but as long as you think what areas you've been too. i'm not going too far off the main route so all the stuff i've cleared is behind me and the markers are my current progress if that makes sense?

What is the best summon to tank and aggro bosses?

Just want to add that one hit ko moves are really BS and shouldn’t be in any game. It’s really trash to have the boss almost dying while you have your health full and the boss decides do spam a 1HKO. Really trash design.

Highly recommend doing the Crystal Cave sidequest. The Cave itself isn't too difficult and the item you get from the boss allows you to buy Level 1 & 2 Smithing Stones from the Twins at the Roundtable.
Use a blunt type weapon. The Morningstar was really effective against the enemies.

Friend and I were having big issues with Draconoc, probably lost to him 20+ times. Summoned some random dude who absolutely demolished in 10 seconds. Messaged him and got him to join us again to help us in my friends game. What a dude.

If you're doing that play the PS4 version (on PS5). It's a significantly better experience. And if they patch it later (history says they won't), you can always transfer the PS4 version to PS5 (but not vice-versa).

1 hit aoe or even worse - the grabs. I hate this game lol
So I thought I would only play this for about 40ish hours. Ended up fully clearing the map (what I found) in 80 hours. Finished at level 155 but I ran past all the enemies in the final two side areas. Looked up the achievement side bosses I'd missed after beating. Vacation well spent back to work now. Don't have to listen to my partner say "you are playing that again?" anymore at least.
Game is amazing.

Where you up to? If you don't get your vigor over 30 before mid/late game OHK is gonna be common. Also the best summon is the mimic, it comes from a fight in the underground area and it creates copy of your character with unlimited FP (I think you can see where this is going)
Finished the game today and only found out post game cleanup you can duplicate the remembrance boss things traded for the 2 items at those walking city things. You don't need to do a 2nd run to unlock all boss items like older solo games. Don't panic if you used them you can still copy them.
Malenia the blade B**** was a nightmare, it's close to the boss that took me the longest in a From game possibly edging out sekiro final boss. I didn't want to respec to spell or bleed spam so some of that is probably on my stubbornness.

Went to do a cave for smithing stones and the boss dropped the moonveil. Had to grind a bit to raise INT enough so I could use it, and since I already had the Meteoric Ore Blade I thought it would be neat to power stance them and give them a try.
They were surprisingly good. I killed the tree sentinel after a few failed attempts with my usual sword/shield combo and also the big dick greatsword.

Now I feel like this dude.
Yeah I double posted. I can do that with impunity, for I studied the blade.

My daughter has been spending outrageous amounts of time with the game and she swears by Luthel the Headless. She has actually beaten bosses after her character is KO'ed. Super tanky.

Do I need to go through volcano manor assassination questline for platinum trophy?
Nightmaiden & Swordstress Puppets +10 and you can sit back and relax. Ive cleared everything besides Lyndell and what unlocked after it, and this summon is just op. Also used Latenna for some bosses.

You're not trying to solo it right? There's a billion summon signs in the arena, dodge his arrows while you pop those, then go in for the poke while he's distracted.

PSA - unless you're going with an offensive shield build, upgrading a shield is useless. It doesn't improve the defensive stats. Save your resources people.

I began by marking a ton of stuff and then noticed I only get 100 markers. Now I do what others have suggested. Anything left for later gets a marker. It's removed when a dungeon is completed. Merchants, teleporters, mausoleums, etc. get a permanent marker too.
