I’ve killed my first Mariner and wound up in Caelid. Found a legacy dungeon with some bosses I can’t kill yet.
My damage output’s starting to look slightly behind the curve.

Thanks. Thought he'd be somewhere there. I'll have another bash at the mini-bosses today.Originally Posted by phonics
Okay, 10 hour check-in. I'm at level 28 with my points getting split between Vigor (18), Strength (19?) and Dex. (17).
In terms of bosses down:
Toggle Spoiler
I've found a few others but only Tree Sentinel looks doable. I've got a weapon with bleed now and fancy maining that. Finding low-level smithing stones is a little tricky, though. And this weapon seems to go down a different upgrade path. I'll probably wander for some more caves.
The very last boss in this game really is crap. Every time I fight it I seem to spend 90% of my time chasing it around the arena it's in.

Lvl 50 and I'm back at the starting zone going to clear up any bosses, mini bosses I've missed.
Following a guide roughly now as this map is insanely huge and I'll still be playing this game in 10 years time and still no closer to finishing the main quest.
I seem to make progress then I'm like "ohhh that looks cool over there then I spend the next few hours wandering through the woods picking mushrooms and gather flowers....
Two more bosses down. Access to Stormveil granted or whatever. I feel you, Andrew. On the one hand, exploring for stuff is fine but when it stretches out into hours, you're not really sure what progress you're making.
I'm quite enjoying going around Limgrave and beasting all the gimps who made the first few hours a pain. Think I need a bit of that before I go off and kick on with the main quest again.
Right according to this guide I've basically completed the beginner zone all caves explored all bad gurs downed.
Stats
Level 58
Vigor 36
Endurance 24
Strength 35
Rocking a Golden Halberd + 5
With the Twinned armour set.
Just found another way to reach Altues Platue by killing a dragon that couldn't fly in a cave...
Went up a lift to be one shotted by another Dragon who loves electricity 🤦
I need to get into the Capital but there's a souped up tree sentinel with other ideas guarding the fog gate...
Can roughly get him to 50 percent then he's goes mental and the obligatory "You died" 🤬
It's a long run back to him from the spawn point so I'm giving up this plan of attack for a while.
Need more sombre smithing stones to level up my Golden Halberd not sure where to get them from though.
Things I love about this game
It's huge amd fucking beautiful.
Things I hate about this game
the controls and hit boxes make this game alot more difficult than it actually is.
Is that the one who shoots red lightning bolts from the sky. I couldn't get past him either, so started exploring everywhere else. He can wait for me a little.
That's the one.
Where you exploring to?
I've cleared every cave and mini boss in the starting area and uncovered every church and site of grace.
Might do the same in the lakes the grace sites I've uncovered there seem a bit sparse so there's bound to be loads I've missed.
I'm exploring the whole of Atlus Plateau at the moment. Had a nosey by the windmills, the Minor Erdtrees and ran into Patches too. I've left it a bit vague, so you can enjoy the discoveries as much as I did.
I'm pretty sure there is a Statue of Marika by that Tree Sentinel, so if you do fancy trying him again, you shouldn't need to travel too far.
What build are you rocking P3.
I platinumed Bloodborne by basically becoming a brick shithouse that had loads of strength and a near ending amount of hp.
The mage videos the way they melt the bosses in seconds look tempting to try out but I'm going to stick to the tried and tested route till I get to near enough the end I think.
I do hate how the From boss formula has become, "Lets have it do long, fast-moving combo strings." It's the thing that stops me finishing Dark Souls 3's dlcs.
Strength and Faith are both over 40 and Mind is next up at close to 30. Vigor is a solid 10, so I die to everyone in one hit.
Heh. Living dangerously. Part of me wants to wander around the open world one last round but Stormveil's enemies are relatively piss. And I've got some upgrade materials to become a heavier hitter.
I've found Gelmir hero grave...
This place better have the most insane awesome op drops imaginable
Because if those chariot things racing up and down the corridors kill me again......
So I'm in the Capital.Nothing to do here yet so I guess I can warp back. 4 bosses done today. All piss. It's also occurred to me I should see if I can find the NPC I may have got killed on my first day. Dogs followed me to his location, I took on his side-quest and he kept talking, despite disappearing into ash.
Godrick done. Much like Margit, my damage was good but needed the bleed to pop or the right window to turn up to get it done. Maybe half a dozen tries to beat him.

There’s a place you can resurrect npcs.
I think I found it but it said I was sound.
You can definitely non aggro them there, but I didn't know you could resurrect.
I might have misread then. I didn't kill npcs so had no use for it.
Neither did I. The mutant dog did it. If I can remember where that NPC is, I'll check to see if he's alive. Also, done the rolling pin of death dungeon. Good riddance, although I want whatever item is left in there.
You can non-aggro NPCs at the turtle pope, not resurrect them. I reached him today - you're flying through this @Shindig, if you're already there. Think I've been playing a week more or so than you
Yeah, working from home will do that.
Turtle Pope might be my favourite NPC. It's close between him, Latin Batwoman and Two Fingers.

151 hours in, level 99. Finally got inside the Capital today with the help of my ratties and have been exploring as much as possible despite how tricky it is to keep your bearings. I'm still shocked just how much game there is here.
Might as well throw my stats up:
Vigor: 21
Mind: 9
Endurance: 23
Strength: 28
Dexterity: 23
Intelligence: 7
Faith: 8
Arcane: 11
My flask is up to 10 charges at +4. I've got a Bloodhound Fang +5 as my main weapon. Still using the Brass shield from real early on. I don't think upgrading it gets me any extra poise so I've left it as is. I will probably top up one of the magic stats to 10 just to get some basic spells going.
Not doing much with summons either. I'll find one I like at some point and pour all the upgrades into that. Speaking of summons, I found the festival. Didn't do so hot.
You're pretty much smashing through the game, nicely done. For the festival, swallow your pride, summon some NPCs and let them deal with the boss.
I can't do anything without my regular summons. I main my wolves for the fast things and the pumpkin head for the slower, tougher bosses. But there's loads more I'd like to try.
The two soldiers are my go-to right now. I've upgraded them a bit and they have a nice mix of range + tanky combat
Beat the boss in the Capital and have got the lift up to another area which takes up the whole of the top right of the map. So close to getting it all filled in, then I can just explore.
I’m thinking about a no summons game.
Just stumbled across the "festival" at Castle Redmane after spending the last few days trying to uncover all the sites of grace.
Managed to find
21 sites at Limgrave
7 sites at Stormhill
17 sites at Weeping Peninsula
45 sites at Liurnia of the lakes
This game is HUGE...
Level 70 nearly 70 hours in and I really do think I've only just scratched the surface of this can see it taking a lot of NG + to uncover all the endings, side quests etc..
Radahan down and managed to get into the Royal city.
Hate this place already.
I've lost so many runes already in this place..
I'm starting to feel a need to actually grind. Level 53 but every boss I've come across now seems beyond me in terms of DPS.
EDIT: Finally got into the Academy. Grinding for a handful of levels in Vigor got me past a load more bosses and the Academy itself feels quite comfy.

Slowly working my way through all the locations again as I've reached what sounds like a point of no return. Think I've beaten all the overworld dragons, but do have a couple more Gaols to clear. Then its trying to beat up all of those giant worm/rat things that have populated some of the latter caves and just found Mohg in the sewers. All of that with 10 Vigor, wish me luck.
10 vigor!!!!
The reaction times of some people who play this game astound me.
Currently on day 4 of being lost/killed in the Royal Capitol.
Found a path that seems to be magically blocked by Margot? so can't get any further in that direction haven't come across any bosses in here yet so I'm obviously being dull and missing loads but I seem to be travelling up and down the same few corridors over and over...
This place could be the zone that ends my love affair with this game.
I'm going to mainline the Capitol tomorrow because I think that's my next proper boss. It's at this point I've been looking at wikis and guides a bit more often. Mostly maps for any catacombs and bosses I've missed but also to prod me in the right direction for actual progress.
Finding The Academy made me feel really dumb as I'd had a note in my inventory basically telling me how to get there.
Climb the dragon's wing!
Just went back and watched Yevrah's first time attempt at Radahn. Those arrows that were doing a quarter of Yev's health bar, were killing me in one.

10 Vigor is proper bonkers. Would drive me mad to get croaked by anything that glanced in my general direction
Fighting nighttime bosses is a bit shit. Fight, die, advance time, rest, repeat.
Fighting the ball bearing guys who just randomly spawn in when you fast travel to certain spots is also a nightmare. Which nighttime bosses have you gotten/killed? I can only think of the Night Cavalry.
Yeah, I've done most of the Night Cavalry's I've seen. The Ball Bearing guys are unbeaten. I've found a Somber Smithing Stone 9 which does me no good til I find 6, 7 and 8 which all looks out of reach.
There's some flying dickhead in Liurnia of the Lakes who only appears at night
Well, I'm level 70 now at Volcano Manor. I'll come back for the beast at the top of the mountain but not before I'm +9 on weapons.
Some speed runner has finished Elden Ring in 1 min 23 seconds.
Then there's me 70 hours in getting killed by an over sized lobster.
I've seen that run. I figured it wouldn't spoil anything because it was so short. I was right. All Bosses is over 9 hours long which is .... my kind of fucking speedrun.
I'm a twit
Well, I just smashed my way into the Capital after getting up to +9. The hoops I had to go through, though.
Found myself a Game of thrones, throne looking sword. Ooooffff
Isn't that a relatively early game weapon from Castle Morne? It looks amazing but so slow.
