You cleared the city out with 20 Vigor? Respect.

I've literally just got to the city (did East section first) and my Vigor is mad compared to yours phonics
New weapon. Its R2 is insane. I am in love.
Started up as a Samurai. Killed some giant dickhead on my second try and then went to the beach. Shit a brick when I saw these two octopus/squid things mooching about so bailed on that idea. Game looks amazing
I found the big pot in Caelid. Thought it was a bug. Didn't want to attack him and couldn't work it out so had to google it.
I need that Talisman.
Made a wretch. All black, looks like a mining statue.
Need to get a staff/that bottle opener looking thing pronto and learn some magic.

Melina: "Have you heard of the finger maidens"?
Me:
So I think im approaching late game. You see the size of that map, and it keeps expanding? That ain't the half of it.
92 hours in and I don't think I'm anywhere near.
Bob finally has some decent armour though and the Endurance to wear it.
Mate I cannot stipulate how vast this is. Its insane that any dev pulled this off, especially during the whole Covid thing.
I am literally getting one hit at this point. I need like 150 thousand souls to get a respectable amount of bigot and no idea where to go to get it. I need to find these demi gods I think. Or just kill fucking Radahn but fuck that.
How are you so levelled Yev. I don’t get it.
I might just use the remembrance’s and fuck the weapons off.
You must use that word a lot for autocorrect to pick that up.Originally Posted by phonics
I even corrected it and it did it again.
I've done a fair bit of grinding. Best place I've found so far, which is almost impossible to fuck up is starting at East Castle Rampart and following that through killing everything (bar some guys in a room together who mob you) until you get out into the main bit of the city where the broken coach is. Takes about 3 minutes and is good for 15k+ runes. I'll whack a video up next time I do it.
Just realised I was wearing a Talisman that increases the amount of damage I take in return for a couple of stats...
Whoops.
I'm at level 122 lol
Later game areas give you runes for fun.
Shiny boi.

Where are you considering late-game. I could run about the city but it's a wee bit tedious. Although I have gone from +14 to +17 so maybe it'd be pretty easy now.
I'm doing a specific quest that takes you to several locations, each one progressively more high level. Stuck at a boss, but I came out the previous areas with about 500k souls. Did it again minus the bosses and had about 200k. Each time took me like 2-3 hours though. It wasn't a grind, combat was just fun.
I did grind the cannonball early game though for a 10 level bump. I'm at 90k plus for a level now though, so prob gonna stick round here. Did Radahn last night also.
Volcano Manor? I had fun with that one. Stuck on the last bit of the chain though.
Ranni.
Clearing out Caelid and just beat:
Toggle Spoiler
The latter of which involved some disgusting cheese.
Fought my way all the way up there looking for some quest content. You have to beat Radahn to do it. Several skull emojis.
Lol Yev > Phonics
There's nothing worse than the frustration of fighting a boss for the first time and almost beating him except you got cocky and then spending the next 30 minutes trying to get him down to less than 80% of his healthbar
Looool well holy shit this new Spirit I've got is absolutely fucking ridiculous. Laughably so. Hilarious to watch, especially with it being a +10. I can sit back and watch a battle as I chill, don't even have to join in.
Love this game so much.
I don't have enough FP for any of the good ones
This one doesn't work off FPI don't have enough FP for any of the good ones
I’m not very good at this. Where am I meant to go first?
Follow the grace lights for a couple of bonfires.
Then have a wander about.
My ‘run away from stuff approach has taken me across the map!
I’d like to say I look badass, but I just don’t

I followed this and it got me most of the essentials
I have been working on one boss on and off for about 2.5 hours of game time. I finally beat him. My reward? Armour that’s worse than my current set and 3k runes. Down bad. Am up to a record setting 25 Vigor though.
I had no idea Radahn was a hard boss as I've stayed away from the internet with this game until now, but here it is, first timing him. Spoilers if you've no idea who he is obvs.

Rather embarrassingly it took me longer to find him than it did to kill him.
And DS, I have a couple of questions.
How did you get to the East of the map, beyond the city, without going to the city first?
In Nokrom there's a lit up acropolis style building on top of a cliff standing alone, is it possible to get to that?
I went East of Limgrave, not North East.
Do you have a screenshgt of the building?
Well watching that clip was very depressing.
He took me ages too. Yev is just elite.
HOLY SHIT just watched that. No wonder it was easy.
You fucking skipped the second stage of the fight Yev
I think another 26 levels might help. Time to find some cheap farming place tonight and just grind it out for a few hours.
1.5 hours of straight farming the same 5 minute lap later:
Going to do another hour tonight and pop em all in vigor. Get to 35 VIG and even out the DEX with the STR and then just go to bed. Then take it out on Radahn tomorrow.
Up to level 17 or thereabouts now. Sacked off trying to complete some castle down on the bottom-right of the first part of the map after getting my head kicked in by some guy who looked like The Hamburglar and a Knight with a brutal sword which had some crazy bleeding effect.
Ended up croaking one of the smaller bosses in a cave with a load of wolves which wasn't actually that bad, and I've got my plan for tomorrow which is to go and talk to a werewolf guy that Santa Claus put me on to.
Overall enjoying it a lot. Reminds me of Shadow Of War in some parts. The controls are taking a lot of getting used to though, and there's some weird decisions as to how they work - weapon switching feels like it could be far simpler and the menus are terrible.
You should never be weapon switching tbh. This feels like one of those protecting fromsoft comments but it’s just not that type of game. I could do what Yev did technically. He’s doing double my damage. I could finish the game in a secret way but I havent levelled accordingly. but it’s just not how the game works.
However On that front, My one complaint about the game is that ranged attacking is still completely useless.
Ah, I see. Thought you said ages ago you'd unlocked the whole map.

Agree completely on the ranged stuff. The melee combat feels visceral and modern, while using a bow and arrow feels like I'm hitting a tin can with a pebble and revolves around a mechanic that would sit better in a 90s game.
You lost me on the bolded bit mind, care to elaborate?
My issue with weapons in this is not the weapons themselves, but the upgrade system. Can't think of how they could do it better but I've never played a game where I've picked up so many weapons yet used so few as once you get past a certain point nothing is going to be as good as whatever you're currently using if you've upgraded it.
HOLY SHIT just watched that. No wonder it was easy.

Talking of which, Bob update. He's found a new friend, which after some serious grinding to get Mind up can now come with him.
Achieved a shit load over the last two days, with what seemed like some heavy hitting, main story bosses beaten and I think we're approaching the end game.
Yeah, I think this is it. I'll probably just unequip the bow and have my katana only. The bow combat (in a world with Horizon or even the AssCreed games) feels horrible, comparatively. Even horseback combat isn't as good as in AssCreed.
I did learn last night that you can attack on a specific side if you use L1 or R1, which should mean I'm a lot more handy in mounted combat...rather than just spinning around in circles flailing wildly
You’ll still do that, just on both sides.
I'm a twit
For those of you who've played Dark Souls... (and a spoiler for Elden Ring)
