One thing tho, this game makes me feel blind at times, I see people talking about items from a place I've been to and and somehow I didn't collect it, couple that with the messages being white now and it's a nightmare to see properly at a distance

Yes really. It literally say you will lose it forever, but that only applies to the naturally equipped AoW.
You see the message on the spike? Jumped on that, then on the head on the little tower, and then the roof. It's just one weapon upgrade mat though, nothing bigSo how do i reach that item on the roof of the academy?
Man, I must have misread that tutorial then, because I don't think I ever thought I was going to lose the Ash of War I replaced.
Is there any good bow upgrades in Limegrave or early areas? Feel really underpowered using the base longbow you start with.
I've fought 4 main bosses until now and I'd rank them difficulty wise:
Besides the easiest of the 4 I would put the other 3 in the top 5 of From's hardest(If I counted Crucible Knight he would be 1 by a mile)
1. Margit
2. Goddrick
3. Renala
4. Red Wolf lmao
2. Goddrick

Lol when I first fought him I did a charged attack and he perfectly parried me for an instant death. Was so mad. So the next time I came up to him, I parried him 4 times in a row. Suck it, Moongar.
Boss kills me, Rock Sling kills her, respawn at the Stake of Marika and grab all my lost souls, profit!
As someone who just likes collecting weapons, I'd get one made anyway. The amount you get for selling is pretty small in the grand scheme of things.
I. Found the greatest shield in the history of Souls.
It looks incredible, specially when turning the camera around.
Edit:
Holy shit that unique skill that comes with this shield and which also changes the colors of the shield when using it.
Where you get that armor??!?!!
Do you think your #1 would be as hard now, since you've progressed?
Question about specific offline invaders / red phantoms:
I took the long elevator by the imp statue up from the underground river area and the path led me to a giant pot boy surrounded by three invaders. I'm guessing I need to kill all three of them in a single sitting but they have a ton of HP. Can someone spoil for me what I get for defeating them?

Just another thing, how do you recommend I approach bosses, keep focusing on R2 attacks almost exclusively or spamming Bloody Slash when the enemy is open? Bloody Slash is OP but the downtime is risky
I believe that's from the
Carian armor set, found in the mage college legacy dungeon
That, or it's the default 'knight' set sold by the bell-bearing vendor in roundtable.
I think so honestly, but less so, I struggle a lot against delayed attacks, I fight fast enemies better
As far as I can tell it's neither of those since I have those two sets.
Godrick Knight Set.

Don't have all parts yet tho, helm is Knight helmet.
I just managed to do it by surviving all the way to the top with him, then reactivating the elevator with him still on it. I jumped off before it went down but he dodge rolled off the side and died from falling damage. Thanks for all the ganks, Moongrum!
I think it makes sense, not only there aren't any guides to look for in the later areas the game is gigantic and needs 3 endings
Nah, DS2 was cryptic af. But Elden Souls (i refuse to call it Ring now) has a lot of DS2 in it, coupled with the huge world it is on another level.
Okay, wanted to make sure I had the right thing. Thanks for clarifying!
I don't get quickstep. It feels slower than my roll and enemies are still just hitting me when using it with ease.
Has anyone figured out if anything is needed to summon Vyke as an invader? Or am I to assume this is yet another bug with the game? I'm going to the area being asked of me, making sure I did all of the dialog to get there, and still nothing. Seeing as one quest was blocked via a glitch (that can be solved in-game, thank goodness), I'm assuming this is yet another one, too.
This game is looking like it's going to need patches to iron out mechanical stuff besides the technical issues...

turns out there a big running jump you have to make, it looks like it's impossible, but you can indeed do it
what's the strategy with the big tanky knights with shields and spears etc? is parrying the way to go?
Happened to me yesterday, guess it does but FFS I was stomping him only to get cockblocked
I haven't really been posting updates on my time so far but at ~12 hours, level 35-ish? and beaten Mergit (and some lion dude in the south, not sure why he gave an achievement) I needed to share some takes:
So begins my first souls game. (Saudade of Sunday was to long)
- I don't think I can adequately describe the hatred I felt for existence in it's totality when after a couple of nights wishing I had more/better flasks I had found that I had the items needed all along.
- There was a point where I was getting bored of getting killed by Mergit and getting bored of going through caves/dungeons/whatever and getting killed by whatever boss was at the end that I took to just exploring with Torrent and I have to say it was oddly fun to do
- During said exploration I got an NPC who had a shack named after them killed when the mob I thought I avoided bit through the wall*. I hope they weren't important
R1 attacks in this game are almost useless, R2 and Jumping R2 are the only basic attacks I find somewhat good but the jumps can whiff a lot
If you have 30 STR and 30 DEX you probably need to upgrade your weapon a LOT.
Arcane pays dividends VERY quicky it seems
I farmed the entire Cleanrot set in like 20 minutes earlier. Also I've been hitting bleed on enemies and bosses like crazy.
I only have Arcane at 20 too. Enemies must be walking loot boxes if you have it at like 40
Charged R2 (and/or weapon art) and jumping R2 are where it's at to break stance though.

For bosses I think this is true for the most part although I've been getting bleed much more frequently by using R1 with the katana.

Now that I think about it... I haven't used R2 all the time playing this game...
Thank you. I'll try it tomorrow.
Just beat one of the "big" bosses towards the South East. It doesn't matter how many summon signs the game wants to throw at me, I will refuse to summon.
Although I'll say I'm consistently disappointed when a boss that I feel should be easier takes me longer. There was one (HIDDEN TOUGH BOSS TOWARDS THE EAST) Godskin Apostle that felt challenging yet I didn't mind dying over and over because I knew I was doing low damage and thusly it was all about the gittin' gud. The one I just beat (the "big" boss), just felt like I didn't do as well as I should've. Also didn't help that I just whiffed some of the Square Off attacks because of the hitbox. Probably woulda gotten 'em faster if I actually landed some of those hits.
Such is difficulty, I suppose.
Also the basic longsword Square Off is so busted. It's basically carried me through the whole game. Either making up for lower damage against "late" bosses I found early or stagger locking. Absolute goofballs.
Because of the way the game is structured, #1 definitely *can* be relentlessly difficult. I actually fought (very early accessible boss) One of those big tree snakes in the starting catacombs before I even could level up. It was exceedingly fun and what helped me learn just how bonkers good Square Off is. #1 and successively #2 simply reinforced that idea. I straight up did not explore any of the open world until after I beat #2. They were challenging but not overwhelming.

Same. R2 and Jump+R2 is my basic attack now. R1 is just for emergency.
I didn't find quickstep very good. If it was a default ability ,it wouldn't be so bad but giving up something much stronger for it feels like an unworthy trade off.
It's certainly no bloodborne evade+gunparry.... but that's a different gameplay style altogether.
question, about joining a cause an NPC offers:
is it wrong or do I have any punishment if I join someone's else offer, like rannis offer, or the guy who claims to be next in line for the throne, if I already was joined one or the other? or any for that matter? can I keep joining them if I get the prompt?

Could it be the scaling of Twin Blades isn't that high? (I'm not sure what the scaling is)
In this game, weapon scaling scales with weapon level (so a twin blades +8 has more base damage AND bonus damage from your STR/DEX), so if those scalings are D or C then that would explain the low damage.
You probably need to dodge just a bit later. I was finding it wasn't working until I forced myself to wait a split second longer.
It might not be a massive use if your dodge is faster, as a greatsword user it is a godsend.
It's the only way I managed to beat Margit:
It does use FP though... which is a big downside for some.
However, one of it's biggest strengths is that if you are locked on it also spins around to the back of the enemy if you time it after they do any kind of forward moving attack, which means you are in position for a strike right away which can be very helpful.
