I helped a ronin fend off a Bloody Finger and checked out the nearby cave...
Haw! Good to see you old buddy.

i finished stormveil and dind't notice that... can you tell me what did i miss?
I just beat Godrick and holy fuck I have missed the feeling you get when you beat a tough boss in a Souls game. I have beat plenty of tough bosses in games in the five years since DS3 and none of them gave me this level of satisfaction I'm feeling right now. Not even Sekiro. It really makes me appreciate how special these games are.
So how do i go down to find the big elevator at the rampart tower in stormveil castle?
I explored the full thing, found almost everything i think, but i can't figure out how to go this low in this castle... The other place where it goes this low i already went, and you go back up with a tall ass ladder, and no elevator in sign

I have been for the last 7~ hours, it's a decent starter weapon, I'm building towards the tree sentinel halberd now
Horse combat is pretty strong, you usually have to antecipate your swing since it has a delay. It's good to stop and cash in some swing too since it stuns enemies.
Is it with the red sky?
My issue with DS3 was that the bosses didn't get really special until like after the halfway point in the game. Elden Ring has amazing bosses fresh from the start. So I can kinda relate to this.
The gatekeeper who warns you about the main gate might not be as trustworthy as you first think.
The gatekeeper who warns you about the main gate takes a cut of your runes when you die. You can kill him to recover everything he's stolen. He will also lock you into rooms and other various things I probably haven't noticed.
My friend only has a base PS4 and I was checking out how it runs on that after playing all day on PC.
Legitimately very impressed, it's an absolutely fine experience. It almost feels like the game was MADE for regular PS4 and then updated (not that well haha) for other platforms. Nice to know that old console owners aren't left in the cold.

Yeah I really didnt have much trouble with Margit though my weapon was +3 I just used jellyfish because she would last the longest and sometime the poison would proc.
I have two in my list "just in case".
ResetEra & EldenEra
Have not seen anything official yet.
I personally like EldenEra ;P
For me it's the opposite, DSIII grabbed me from the start, here besides Margit I think the optional bosses are serviceable at best.
I'm just in the first area but it's kind of like RPG heaven so far. The kind of game you could just get lost in.
Technically, it's a little bit janky in places though.
For me it has a very differently feeling to traditional Souls games and I dig it.
I think you can buy a straight sword of the vendor on the western beach, under the ruin.
So that's why I'm missing souls when I die? How am I supposed to discover that that NPC is stealing my souls? I mean, he doesn't strike me as trustworthy but between having no idea that could happen and the technical state of the game, I wouldn't have guessed that's why my souls were missing. So if I kill him I can get them all back?
I'm really happy I just looked up where to find a Zweihander. The Great Axe I was using up to that point was just an absolute piece of shit with no range and no hyper armor and a roll attack too slow to actually punish things safely.
There's another mine on the southern peninsula, in a valley as you head to the west side of it. The whole area is optional and generally less difficult than Stormveil Castle.
I 100% agree with all this. Most of the side dungeons have felt at or below Chalice Dungeon level to me. I've always kind of hated open world games because the content that gets used to fill in their enormous maps is necessarily really weak and repetitive just so it can be reasonably mass-produced, and it was maybe naive of me to hope that From's attempt at an open world game would feel any different. It will probably be much better in future playthroughs at least, where you know where everything is and can just ignore the massive amount of uninteresting content that isn't relevant to your planned build.
Im playing on a base ps4, I know its outdated hardware but, I swear these load times shouldn't be as long as they are especially when the checkpoints are a few feet away for boss arenas. Combined with how long it takes for the death sequence to finally complete just makes getting back into the game even longer.
I played through Nioh 2 before I jumped to this and it seriously spoiled me on how fast that game get back into the world after you die.

Its not a From game if there aren't enormous projectiles hitting you from a mile away with laser like precision
I didn't do the math but when I killed him I got about 8000 runes and that seemed to line up with what I lost.
I can't. Literally cannot proceed into the tutorial because of this. XD
Who designs games this way?
Edit: nevermind. i just go into the center. went up on its own.
Instead of going to that cliffside castle the game wants you to see, I decided to go south. I found that some of the lost graces started pointing me to the south instead of north. They pointed me all the way down to Castle Morne. I just killed the boss at the end and finished the king's questline.
..but the nearby lost graces are still pointing at Castle Mourne. Shouldn't they stop guiding me to an area that I already completed? Did I miss something?

It's a souls game so I tend to annihilate remotely suspicious NPCs, especially to get their gear.
I don't know what weapon you're using, but after initiating the fight, I made my way back near the point of grace to avoid the trees, put enough distance to safety avoid his attacks, move in while pressing R2 and keep moving after I attack.
This is my highlight so far, mired only by the big arrow guys. Loved the boss of this area.
I found another that says "Thank you" creeps me the fuck out
I'm surprised people are having so much trouble with the first boss. I beat it fairly easily after a few tries with the two dudes summon. I've been playing these games since DS in 2009 but I'm only average and remember the first boss in bloodborne being way harder.
3 hours trying to beat the storm veil margit boss
So many moron hosts in co op just doing dumb stuff and dying

If you take it to the Roundtable Hold, there should be an NPC in a room with Two Fingers. You can give it to her to get your pick of two special weapons, but if you explore the world, there's a way to duplicate remembrance so you can get both rewards. Really not worth consuming it imo.
It depends on your play style. If you are going to solo it then no. If you are not the biggest Souls player and like the series but need a little help, yes. If you want to coop, yes.
The Lost Graces do seem to continue to point to the same locations, even after clearing the content it was pointing towards. I'd guess that's normal. They are just pointing toward big areas of interest close by.
