    Similarly I've reached a point where I still have loads to do in the areas I can access, but can on face value only see one way out of those areas.

    I have three areas open to me. One you both may not have found yet. It requires 'the lift'.

    I've got to the lift (amazing scenes) and what's above it, but can't get through the former or beat the latter. That said, beating Godrich may open up some lift stuff but haven't explored that at all yet. Looking forward to doing so. Playing this game blind is amazing.

    Its absolutely insane how vast this is. Nearly 50 hours in and only two main bosses down, and every single hour or so I'm discovering somewhere new.

    I wish once you had maps there was still some sort of fog to show where you haven’t been. I’ve taken to not picking them up so I know where I’ve explored.

    Plan for tonight is to get my second Great Rune as I’ve unlocked access to the third and fourth but need to find a Great Rune and a key I cannot for the life of me find to access either of them.

    Just been warped to a place where the art direction and imagination has absolute blown my tiny mind. Sat there for about five minutes taking it in. Fucking hell this game, feels like I, and we're, playing something monumental here.

    I'm nowhere near where you are and I already think we are. It'll go down as at least one of the greatest games of all time. It's astonishingly well made, like they were in the mind of the future player's heads as they were making it - I've just experienced the most satisfying exploration reward I've ever had in a game and it came from exploring every inch of the map (I had access to).

    I’ve decided to try and get to Stormveil Castle like the weird looking person has told me to, before writing this off for good. I also got some new boots.

    I feel its the first open world game to not guide you towards every sight, reward and thing you can do. BotW was almost there but you would see something on the horizon and be rewarded with about one of 6 identikit things. It feels as if you can miss literally half the game in this, FROM have just placed wonders everywhere and let the player go off and do whatever they want. I went on some exploration North of Stormveil earlier, realising I'd missed a chunk and ended up in a glorious looking labyrinth style dungeon that took me about three hours. Not a single second of boredom, frustration or tedium.

    Its wonderfully structured, and the whole map flows so well.

    Might not be for you Baz, but I'd at least give it every chance. The way I just got what I wasn't expecting to get but was ecstatic when I did simply can't be achieved with the standard compass marker and text objective.

    Going directly there will have you spazzing the disc into a bin.

    Have you bought yet Raoul? I suspect you'll love it if/when you do.

    Another cracking session for me last night. Reached the second big boss, up to level 60 and have opened up two absolutely beautiful areas. Feels like I've more than scratched the surface, but would be surprised if I'm any more than 40% through, feels like there's still an absolute fuckton to do, let alone still to discover.

    If I were you I'd explore the opening area and try to level up. Put points in Vigor until you settle on a weapon you like and then level up strength or dexterity (depending on which stats your weapon scales best with - the lower the letter the better). If you explore enough you'll come across a load of useful stuff and many bosses. If a boss hands you your arse on a plate move on from him for now and onto another one or just keep exploring and levelling up.

    I'm genuinely rubbish at the boss combat in this game (albeit getting better) but I've now killed every single boss I know about in the first area and there are loads of them. No matter how shit you might be to start with if you persevere you'll get there and it's so rewarding when you do.

    I'm not in it yet (bar the bit you can see from the warp), but the run up to it, the lift and the boss that's based above it (so you're looking down on the two statutes) is one of the best, if not the best, moments I can recall in gaming.

    Not yet but I might get involved. I've been playing Ass Creed Egypt and enjoying it but have a bit of FOMO for this, and I think it'll be more interesting to play along with TTH rather than jump in later. Never played a Souls game but this is probably up my street. Was watching the Giant Bomb Quick Look and liked what I saw of it.

    Once again something massive has happened and I’m not exactly sure why or the consequences of it. The lore of these games baffle me.

    If this were a normal Souls game, that'd be NG+ numbers.

    My friend just pointed out the very easy way to find maps and I feel like a fucking mong.

    My current set-up level 60:



    Not posting my armor set as it could be considered a spoiler. If you guys have got to that level you probably know what Im referring to.

    edit: @Dark Soldier: if I'm using a D/D weapon for str/dex is is better to have 60 str and 0 dex or both equal. I don't know how the math works in this game.

    Both equal, its a 'quality' weapon. I don't know if that applies to ER, but in previous Souls games you wanna level both. So your build looks good. My Axe is a B in STR, nothing in DEX, hence pure STR.

    Yeah, absolute piece of piss. I'm slightly confused about what I need to do next, but testament to this game, I don't care.

    Have died to the Mini-Boss dude at Gatefront Ruins too many times now, so gonna level up a few more times and try again with a greatsword. I assume that'll be a slower weapon though so might not make it any easier...

    This game is hard but still enjoying it.

    Baz, are you walking down the centre of gatefront, agging the guards in the middle and getting mobbed by the rest of them from either side? If so, you could probably be double the level you are and you'd still die.

    If you pick them off one by one/three by three you should be fine at level 38 and you must have been killing something fairly comfortably to amass the runes to get to level 38 in the first place.

    Yea, I can't see how Gatefront is an issue at level 38, I don't think I'm even that high (though I must be close) and I passed that area ages ago. You should be one shotting anyone you can get a sneak attack on by now, with the exception of the main guy. If you're getting jumped by too many just summon your wolves and let them distract the excess enemies.

    The disappointment when you kill something and they don't drop any items is real.

    Killed some big ugly thing with a massive sword on the beach and nothing.

    If you up Arcane (which I wouldn't recommend doing ahead of other stats) the drop rate of items increases.

    The city is something else. I'd assumed you'd be restricted as to where you could go (like with Anor Londo from DS1), but no, the whole thing, as big as it appears on the map, is there to explore.

    You can also use this fowl feet consumables to up drop rate. It's what I did and got a full knight set from it.

    Very little at all. Done next to nothing of Caelid and haven't even unlocked whatever's east of the city yet.

    What levels are you Phonics for overall and Vigor? Not sure where to go next with each level up so would be useful to know.
