I don't know what's up but my game is lagging to fuck now. Legit half the enemies I'm fighting are invisible because they're not loading in.

Just got teleported to Narnia, came back and croaked a dragon.![]()
Just died to "madness" please don't tell me they have carried over that bullshit mechanic from Bloodborne.
They have but it’s barely in the game.
So I've been exploring the area above Stormveil Castle having beaten Godrick. I've done a loop round the outside finding Albus Dumbledore and the BFG, and am now making my way up through the middle towards the Academy. Not fought any dragons yet (because I'm not a dumb dumb) but have been twatting the mini bosses in the caves/mines/crypts no problem. Every day is the same for me at the moment: wake up, work whilst planning my Elden Ring journey, play Elden Ring. And I love it.
It is an astonishing game. I'm enjoying Journey 2 more than anything I've played for years. 250 hours down now.
My mission tonight is to acquire the Ronin Set of armour, because it looks badass. Then I actually need to kick on a bit with the "main" quest line
Went Journey 2. Killed Margit and Goodrick in less than 20 minutes![]()
I mean, in a very general sense. I'm kinda following this - but when you visit a site of grace the yellow wispy arrows are directing you to the "main path" e.g. Limgrave -> Stormveil etc.
Went down a big lift and ended up in some absolutely bonkers area. Bailed before I got too far into it though but seems massive. Still got business to attend to in Limgrave - met Patches and the Samurai invader geezer this evening.
I reckon I'll have a crack at the boss(es) when I hit about level 50 which isn't too far off, think I'm at 42 right now.
There's two amazing bosses to find down there, they did hand me my ass though.
Does he still look like Jonjo Shelvey?
Up to level 50 now. Next time I play I'm off to have a bash at Magrit
I’ve completely fucked myself for when DLC comes out. Journey 2 is too easy and I can’t be bothered to do anything.
Stick everything you earned from Journey 1 in your chest Phonics.
Just rocked up at Radagon's Red Wolf as primarily a magician with 0 FP having wasted it all fighting the wizards before him. Two hits later, back to the bonfire I go.![]()
Nicely done. I did him on my 2nd attempt. That was after exploring all of the south area (disclaimer for in case there's more stuff down that way).
I beat the wolf thing and have come across Ranella. Very interesting boss, but I was not really prepared for her, so I decided to go exploring the rooftops. So much fun finding the nooks and crannies.
Came across a lift that I needed to use a medallion on to get it to work, jaw dropping to say the least the graphics seemed to go up a level the area seems to be in the middle of Autumn the sun shining through the trees with golden brown leaves. Stunning.
Rode round on my trusted steed until I got I shotted by a Tree Sentinal boss?
No chance I'm beating that for a while think I've ventured way to far north for my level.
I'll be honest this game is so big I'm totally lost in it. Going to have to follow some sort of guide to give me at least some idea of where to go.
Found a sword called fire amd night or something but going to be ages before my levels are high enough to use it.
Sword of Night & Flame? I read that was meant to be awesome.
I'm still mooching around Stormveil - not far off Godrick by the looks of things, so will give him a bash in the next couple of days.
I'm totally lost now..
I've defeated
Shardbearer Godrick
Leonine Misbegotten
Royal knight Loretta
Margit, the fell omen
What's the next boss I should be aiming for.
The only downside of this game so far is there are far to many "not the boss, boss fights.."
You fight so "bosses" that they don't stand out, unless they get really crazy later on.

If you wanna progress the main quest head to the massive castle/cathedral type place in the middle or Liurnia Lake. Or, if you wanna skip that beat Radahn in Caelid then head to Leyndell directly (which is where you need to go after Liurnia).
Beat Godrick earlier this evening. Took me three or so tries but on the last go he got absolutely pummelled![]()
Got to the Acadamy needed a glintstone key..
10 mins later after a quick Google search I stumble across the dragon who is sitting on it.
11 mins later I'm spawning a site of grace minus 30k runes.
Planning on a non suicide run to get them back without waking up said dragon
I'll probably get eaten by a bear 2 feet away from getting them back.
Why don't I ever just spend the runes as soon as I get enough to level 🤯
Just get naked and sprint in and grab it.
Need some advice. I can now respec my stats and as I put 10 in Arcane to help with drops at the beginning of the game, I would like to use those points wiser. Will I be able to respec my stats more than once by finding more of the things that you need to do that or is it a one off thing?
There's 20 per Journey.
Cheers. Strength up to 40, let's go!
Another boss down the Wolf dude.
Just reached the moon queen and that boss battle has a heavy Bloodborne vibe to it the 1st phase is a mixture of the college with slime students and the 2nd phase is the spider boss battle .
Think I'll finally update the game as the hoarfrost stomp ain't that good against anything that is quick amd even the some stationary or slow moving mobs seem to be immune to it..
Thought I'd see how quickly I could finish a Journey last night so into Journey 3 Bob went and a couple of hours late he was ready to start Journey 4.
I've just beaten the Queen of the night and can now respend all my points again if I want.
@Yevrah now your a seasoned pro mate what route would have you gone if you were starting from scratch again?
Magic or a pure strength build ? Or do the runes get so plentiful it doesn't really matter.
I think I was about level 150 when I finished journey 1 which isn't enough to be an Alan of all trades (but didn't go into journey 2 until I'd ground to level 211), and it's been so long since then I'm honestly not sure what route I'd go with a new game.
The Rivers of Blood Katana is, for me, the best weapon in the game, but you don't get it until late game territory so you couldn't hang a starting build on it. Which makes me think....I'd probably go Golden Halberd up to the point you get RoB (as it can take out all of the bosses to that point reasonably comfortably) and then re spec and switch to the katana from then.
Runes don't really get silly plentiful until you get to an optional area in the late game (that you can actually get to fairly early if you want) and combine farming it with a weapon you get from beating the final boss.
Any of that make any sense or help? Bit of a brain dump really.
On Rivers of Blood, here's Rennala getting beaten in Journey 3 in seconds last night.

Cheers Yev, I'm sure I've got that weapon already didn't that annoying golden Knight on a horse drop it?
When I get back home tonight I'll check the stats required for it and build around that till later on in the game.
Got killed by some robot thing and teleported to HellFuck that boss fight with two of the bastards
It begins.

Been on a bit more with this and finished up the Academy. Croaked a big red fox and Rennala pretty easily - seems bleed worked well against them both.
That was an alright first four hours. The scale's going to take some getting used to. Souls games don't tend to have empty space in them but I guess that's what Torrent is for. Margit's definitely a problem for later so I'll just wander in a direction and see where it takes me.
Right now it feels like a stretched out Dark Souls 2.
Ok, this is super useful: check if a fall will kill you
EDIT: comments say it's unreliable![]()
Think it's pot luck if a fall will kill you to a certain point anyway.
I've survived from a really great height then gone to do it again and it's killed me 🙄
I'm missing the 3rd boss, not sure if he is after the room with those two mini bosses from before in the castle bottom right, but have now rocked up at the capital. Hammered out 115 hours with this game. Easily GOTY.
Which 2 have you gone?
The one at Stormveil Castle and the one at the Academy. I know he's in the third main area, but I've explored everywhere and there's been no sign of him.
Bottom right and top left.
