Woops, i meant for the achievement. There's probably a lot more spells and weapons that are missable but that is the only one needed for the plat.
Yeah I'm Dual Katana build. I'm always usually playing RIGHT next to a boss haha I'm sure I'll beat him when I go back to him today.
No, this was bigger than that, no way back.
Killing Rykard fails all NPC quests you receive at Volcano Manor, and there were several I hadn't done. I spent ages trying to kill him and I wish I hadn't bothered.
This is the first FromSoft game I play and feel so strange about my current situation in the mid game.
I never grinded or farmed any mob and yet I am clearly over leveled at 80. Enemies in Nokron or Atlus Platue barely do any damage with Radahan Armor and 40 points in vigor and I nuke every boss with the Giant Crusher.
I am not winning because I play good but because my level is so high. I already use some handicaps like no mimic, frost stomp or status effects which i never expected to happen. Everytime i get runes I kind of wanna jump of a cliff to prevent further leveling lol.
At which point in the game does it become hard again, I really need to get there because this is stupid.

The weapon is missable and necessary for the armament trophy. If you clear CFA before getting the weapon, you'll have to start a NG+ to get it, because that NPC won't invade that region anymore.
I wouldn't say it's an hard fight but it took me a lot of tries and almost died at the end because the second phase is RNG
The difficulty curve definitely seems a bit lopsided. Early on and in the endgame the game is ranging from challenging to super difficult, while mid game it feels too easy.
So I'd recommend against not leveling up further. The difficulty will come back and hit hard. It'll start to ramp up after the capital.
This game easily has some of the best and most creative enemy designs I've seen in a game yet, especially one of this scale. Some feel like reskins in terms of their movesets from older games but in a game this big, that's easily excusable.
Dying from invisible effects because my game is bugged somehow and restarts and graphic tinkering on Series X not helping.
Between this and Radahn I'm really just in a poor mood. No one else experiencing graphical issues with not seeing a lot of "effects"?

Can Renalla please just fucking die already, if I have to listen to this shit one more time I will go insane
Now that I've vented online, by internet law I should now kill the boss on my next try…
Edit: yep, internet law prevails. Only had a sliver of Hp left but finally she's down. That's enough Elden Ring for today…

Those ghostly chandeliers? If you activate them, an apparition can lead you to something of interest (e.g. cave, catacomb or some item).
Yup, Lakes next is a good idea level wise.
Fallingstar beast is no joke. I summon people to help me out but they have no idea what they are doing. Caelid feels like a real "shit just got real" area
Interesting, thanks! I haven't been able to interact with them, so I guess I've already found the locations they point to then…?
must be quest related (in fact I know for a fact the item I got from him is quest related from my first playthrough) because I couldn't.
Man, as OP as magic feels when you have room, the complete opposite is also true in small rooms, you jsut feel completely helpless and overwhelmed with no time to cast anything and no health to survive anything. I need to start getting some more health tbh.
Exactly, if you've already found that point of interest, then you can't activate them anymore.
I got the final boss to a single hit of dying and he killed me.
Now I've died seven times without reaching the second phase.

Nope. Two-handing a weapon changes up the striking animation and increases STR by 1.5. So very useful for strength-based weapons, less so for other ones.
Powerstancing is different from two-handing a weapon. When you hold two of the same type of weapons in both hands (e.g. a straight sword in left and right hand), then that's powerstancing. When pressing L1/LB you'll strike with both weapons at the same time, enabling you to use a different strike animation with double the hits. It doesn't increase damage by 2x, but I think testing have shown an increase of damage by about 1.75x when both weapons are equally strong. Good for building up bleed or other status ailments, too.
So even though I try to limit myself to spoiler sometimes it's easy to pick up on stuff in this thread. I have a question about an ending and a door that you guys talk about.
Which door shouldn't I go through if I don't want to get locked to an ending and will the game give me a warning by chance? I think it's related to Fia's quest, I got the dagger that I can give to D but I don't want to proceed if that's going to lock me out.
Yes, but the Clawmark Seal is one of the exceptions, it does scale with Str/Faith and using it with 2h has better Str scaling.
Sooo looks like I locked myself out of latenna's quest. Progressed on that tree path before talking to that person and now can't complete. Sad I missed it.
If a particular zone's content is too easy for you, change your weapon to something worse. Or respec and put your points from damage scaling stats into vitality, endurance, or mind.
Without big spoilers: you won't be able to simply go through that door. So there shouldn't be any "accidents".
You can sit at a site of grace before this specific door and somebody will give you a very clear warning not to go through that door.
Getting summoned for Godfrey... every host spends a minute and a half applying buffs and popping rune arcs, walks through the door and gets killed in 3 seconds
I like most of the end game bosses but definitely wouldn't mind if they were tuned down a bit

Only 2-manning?
Saddest part is when it's a 3-man beat down then they all have to do the stupid crouching teabag thing. Yes, you sure showed me how much of a better player than me you are.
This is so strange for me though, I am really not a good player and I have avoided every FromSoft game in the past 10 years because I was so scared of the difficulty. And now I have to actively come up with ways to handicap myself even though I did not use any broken strategy or grinded.
I almost wish there would be level scaling for the enemies but I know a lot people hate that.
Now that I think about it I think a big issue is the inflation of the runes you receive. Some Boss enemies give 70k + runes and if you kill enough of those early you kinda locked yourself out of other regions in the game due to high levels.

I only saw 2. But i only did a few. Im just trying to do a sidequest man. And yes, they always tbag or emote which is just sad.
Lol, But it least he ain't as bad ass that bitch good riddance , I finished her off but this dude only squared off against him today and he doesn't seem that much just need more practice.
Spoiler the boss name please. And same thing has happened to me, people getting one shot in the various end game bosses. I think it's a lack of vigor honestly.
Credits rolling. Absolute masterpiece.
The final boss gauntlet was amazing, not sure what some of you are all about.

What level is appropriate for NG+? I'm level 152 and I want to finish the platinum. I just need two legendary weapons that are part of missable NPC quests, and two endings.
