I found a nice magic long bow in SR. Wish I could use it. No idea how it stacks up though. Skill is Might Shot.

The NPC you fight change everytime, and I was getting a ton of zoners spamming bow shots and magic sword slashes
Someone was asking where to buy a torch. The "isolate merchant shack" in NW Caelid has one.
edit: never mind that last bit

Are there any good paths to start the game? I've had a bit of a wander around for an hour ish, ran into a dragon, and some weird big monster surrounded by archers, lots of mobs of 10+ enemies but no real idea where to start. Kinda miss the linear style of souls as the options were much clearer
Hm, and what exactly is being done at the end of this video?
It seems it's a weapon skill rather than something generic? I never dual wield so I'm quite at a loss here. I just want to know how I can block like that with a sword.
Many "early" game bosses just so happen to be close to the starting area. Getting any upgrades will help immensely at that point in the game. Thankfully this game really let's you head out and power up before taking them on.
Is there any way to get to the Mountaintop of the Giants early on? Trying to grab a few spells and talismans from that area. I've already beaten Radahn, Rennala and Godrick. Also, I somehow got teleported to the Capital and have a Grace checkpoint there.
Part of me wants to trawl through OT1, and follow OT2, for interesting nuggets and experiences. But more important to me is having this experience that feels like my own, where my neurosis is abated, not worrying about finding the 'right' weapon or coming across that area or boss people keep talking about, and just enjoying it in isolation.
Apart from some technical issues on PC, this game is everything I'd hoped for. An incredible accomplishment by From. Still relatively early on yet, but feeling no reason to be concerned about where this game is headed.

Lichdragon is a weird boss, I do good damage but since I can't lock on to most of his body I miss a lot of attacks and get wrecked
You can always use a Summon Spirit (Jellyfish is bae) to draw the aggro off of you so you can heal up.
it's interesting
there are at least two paths in mt gelmar, including the actual volcano manor, where the only way i know of to access them i know of is via special side quest entry ways (invitation / patches)
edit: ah! there's actually a way to get to the VM from near the ninth mt gelmar campsite. cute.

Just looks like he broke their poise and not an actual block/parry.
Yeah I always hated NPC bosses but this game might have the worst because of RNG
Sunhi has 2 identical swords in his left hand slots, one with parry, and quickswapped them out.
Lvl 62 and with 15 vigor, we doing it
Parry on the curved sword

So, Str/Dex only as much as you need to use it and then everything else into Int?
WHY AM I CRASHING SO MUCH IN VOLCANO MANOR
THIRD CRASH IN 30 MINUTES, IM LOSING IT.
Is it just this area or what?? I've been playing all day with no issues but in this manor I just keep crashing
Specifically towards the end of it, on the way to the big boss

I am using that sword and am prety much doing this. I dunno if I want to take Dex up a bit more though.
Yes. That's exactly how I built my character and I gotta say, that weapon is ridiculous throughout the rest of the game. It absolutely made things a lot easier for me.
I wish you could "unsocket" smithing stones like you do with Ashes of War, so it didn't feel punishing to commit to a weapon just to get through these damage checks, before you knew whether a given weapon fit your playing style. I know the answer is that ultimately, low level smithing stones are plentiful as you move later into the game, but you still have that interim where you are stone starved but can't switch to a cool new weapon you found because it's a downgrade.
Speaking of weapons, is split damage on a base weapon worth it in this game? I always stayed away because in past games the double flat damage reduction made them weak compared to full physical + a resin.
NotVeryFriendly Thanks for the response in OT1, I tried the area a bit but I'm getting my ass kicked lol. I decided to go back to the Siofra to beat one of the two bosses there first and maybe level up a bit more, the Fang seems to be a better choice for now I think till I find a more fitting sword. I started as a Bandit but I'm trying to switch into more spellblade, build is Dex > Vit > End > Int.
I think you need to fight the capitol boss, but they're not hard.
Is there a summon pool for fire giant?
Not even sure if it would be a good thing for this fight if they make its already bloated hp pool even bigger. My +10 mimic caster is useless in this fight, I really need a tank. Might go after that pumpkinhead summon and buff it to 10 to see if that helps.

There's one at an encampment NE of the Warmaster shack in Stormhill. This is the shield I found first as a Wretched.
And a merchant in East Limgrave sells another one.
Ok.... I seem to have a problem in Volcano manor, just relaunched the game and crashed again, I always crash in the EXACT same spot, right here, when this enemy starts attacking:
This is the 3rd time in a row I've crashed in this exact spot right when the guy starts attacking

Oh wow we're going to be on OT3 by the time I finish this game it feels.
Made it to level 100 on my faith build. Still rocking dual-wielding scythes, but feeling the itch to change weapons again. The rate at which I'm still finding new weapons and armor seems to really have ramped up compared to the beginning of the game. Felt like a very slow start and now I'm drowning in all of these options and I'm still hearing about sets I haven't seen. Also a lot of the ghosts of other players have this helmet with giant hair that I have yet to find.

Platinum gotten
Gotta say it was probably one of the easier platinum to get in a from soft game, even Bloodborne and DeS remake were much more convoluted to get.

Damn, I need to try this. From what I am reading it's super OP though. I don't need to make the game easier, I just want to change things up a bit since I am tired of using the Longsword.
Gonna repost my co-op info post since a lot of people asked about summoning in the first OT:
FROM games do not offer the same co-op experience that other games do. To summon another player, you must find their summon sign that they dropped down and interact with it. The game world is divided into different named areas, each with its own boss. You can only summon in areas where the boss has not been defeated. Once a boss has been defeated, the person you summoned will be sent back to their own game. Of course, your friend can drop their summon sign in the next area, but you'd have to repeatedly summon them over and over if you wanted to play together.
And FROM games usually have a level range for summoning; the summoned player must be around +/- 10 levels and some change relative to your own level. A summoned player only gets rewarded runes (the in game xp/currency) and does not unlock progress for their own game. Unless they make progress on their own (they can summon you as well and you can help them out, but then everyone would be repeating the same content), you'd outlevel them and eventually wouldn't be able to summon them for later game content. This is not a game where people can simply jump in/out.
