I've only been playing at a friends house since release, I don't know why, but I think the Souls gameplay finally clicked with this one. Two main bosses down, multiple optional bosses. Never took more than six attempts on any of them.
I will straight put this up to me picking the samurai class and getting the uchigatana. Bleed is absurdly powerful and I don't see me using anything but katanas the whole way through the game.

Miyazaki said it's my turn with the Gamer Skill Great Rune
Correction correction: 5 normal, 4 legend max smithstones in one playthrough.
I am an alt-holic but I also liked to be completionist when I replay games so in DS3 I would pick up everything and do all the quests and stuff even though I don't need them for PvP purposes. I'm definitely not doing that for ER on replays. I think just bee-lining for stuff that you need will still very much feel smooth with some planning from how things look so far.
I have less than 20 summons and I haven't found the mimic yet. I've been trying to find other useful summons as well, but it feels the further you go, the less useful non-tanky ones get. The gank squad for example just fucking AoEd my wolves in 5s.
So now I just roll with whatever can at least survive a few hits...
I kinda like the ancestral follower. It can take a few hits, has a heavy bow and so everything it does can stagger.
I used some other ones before getting the mimic one:
- Some skeletons. They are quite nice, as they can revive themselves if they don't get hit while down.
- Godrick's Soldiers. Early on I quite liked them. A combination of melee and ranged units.
- Lhutel: has a greatshield, teleport dodges and both melee and ranged attacks. Quite tanky early on.
I've only found one so far but it's…
behind a hidden wall in black knife catacombs
Respec is after legacy dungeon of zone 2, so pretty early in the game.
How long is the main quest after beating the Fire Giant? I beat this boss but haven't progressed to the kiln because I heard there is a soft lock of certain areas when you do. I'm currently level 89.
1 final trophy for the platinum.
Now I have the collect trophies done I am just going to meander the world a bit and see what stuff I can find without the need to tick boxes. Still need to unlock the location of the last boss I need but man - I feel spent.. but in a good way.
What a game.

You get 500k from some bosses, you will level up fast in this game.
I'm really gonna be interested if they ever drop a full guide for this like they did for Dark Souls and Bloodborne - one because I will absolutely buy a nice hardcover guide with all the art for this game in it, but two also because I want to see what From's intended progression route is for the early game. Based on quests and everything, it seems like it's the following:
Limgrave Outskirts -> Weeping Peninsula/Castle Morne -> Stormveil -> Liurnia of the Lakes/Raya Lucia Academy/Caria Manor -> Siofra River/Caelid/Redmane Castle
Nothing really directs you to the Weeping Peninsula but it's clearly designed to be done before Margit since Leonine Misbegotten is a far easier boss. And with how the Ranni quest directs you towards Siofra River/Redmane after you beat Caria Manor, it seems like Siofra is designed to be a "oh shit that's cool but I'm underleveled for these minotaur guys so I'll come back later," but the Ancestor Spirit boss fight is super easy if you're at a higher level, so who knows. Also I found the Caria Manor boss to be way easier than the Academy boss.
The boss difficulties are all over the place. Which is a little expected for From games but it'll be interesting to see a list of the recommended intended levels for playthroughs and see how the bosses feel then. It's especially difficult because in previous Souls games at least you could generally tell from the amount of Souls you get from a boss whether you were doing it too late or not, but Crucible Knight in the evergaol gives you a pittance for runes and is one of the hardest fights you can find early, so who the fuck knows.

There is a missable weapon in the capitol city, and bosses associated with Rannis quest line are missable as well if you mess that up. Ranni's quest also leads to one of the endings. You can lock yourself into one end as well.
If you take on the frenzied flame you are locked into that ending. So either do the other endings first or do the quest line to get the unalloyed needle and use it to remove the frenzied flame by using it in the arena where you fight dragon lord placiduex after you get that ending.

There's a thing up there near the dectus lift by a ton of rats. Something in the area with the rats procs madness.
Same lol! I did my first invasion last night. It was a dude with two co-op partners and I just buried all three of them. He even had a fourth come in when it was just 1v1 and I demolished that dude. Really fun to get in there before people have it all figured out.
A Great Rune of the shardbearer GwyndolinCinder. Its blessing reduces ones urge to complain on the internet and increases their ability to focus on mastery.
Gwyndolin was amongst the children of DMC and Onimusha, who became a demigod after mastering spacing.
The Great Rune oozes the smell of the ocean, to resist the encroachment of salt.
Not rats, a group of villagers are summoning a madness eye thing on top of a tower.
Super cool but annoying moment.
Yeah go up there and kill the fuckers causing it. It disappears forever.
Ancestral Follower, Banished Knight Oleg and the 5 skeletons with shields were all pretty decent without being considered 'too op'.
Stumbled upon this video. So THAT's what that red icon debuff is...

You can use a wonderous flask that reduces all FP costs for 15 seconds to allow you to summon with high FP requirements if you're interested in trying out other ones.

Finished the game in 106 hours lol
Got the Ranni ending, took a good screenshot of the ending scene that immediatly became my new wallpaper.
What a game. Definitely one of my favorite games of all time.
Now i'm suffering from the post BOTW syndrome, aka, this game was so good I don't even wanna play anything anymore.

When you beat a boss so quick he doesn't even get to use his second phase. *chef's kiss*
Boss fights in general in this game I gotta say though I haven't been impressed.

This guy doesn't have any openings and I truly don't understand how to beat him, everytime I come Close he oneshots me
I can't be the only one that first thought "A** P** before C**" has a completely different meaning than what the poster intended. Unless it is as intentional.

Could you imagine multiple charges of free magic for 10 seconds?
You could hyper beam for days
Fuck yeah you could lol
That was actually one of my go to choices. Drank that shit and unleashed as many Moonveil beams or tossed as many purple rocks as I could.
Yep. Comet Azur for slow big bosses, Stars of Ruin for fast ones.
