do you lose a portion of your runes every time you die even if you collect them? trying to work out if i have something bad equipped, or it's a stormveil thing maybe

Yeah, it took me a bit to get used to. But it's second nature now.
Nothing is worse than birds tho, let's hope we don't get bird dogs…
The help menu mentioned staff or seal. The way it was worded I thought I needed one or the other, not one for each type of spell.
Where can I find those seals? Can I buy them or have to find them?
Thanks in advance!
Also, has anyone worked out yet what the deal is with
Fia? I interacted with her once to see what would happen and got the poise boost blessing, but also got a debuff indicator that looks like I have less health or something (red box with a downwards arrow on it.) This feels a bit like the hollow lord quest in DS3 where you got "free" levels when you died - there has to be a catch and I don't want to see what it is lol
Playing as a wretch, few hours in, bit nervous about allocating points - any vague indication of how long until I might find spells/miracles/whatever for sale?
Managed to one shot Margit by hitting guard counters while while he's delaying his attacks, jump attacking him when he retreats, and jumping over his tail swipe and hitting with a jump heavy. Got two stance breaks and finished quickly, at around level 20 with a +2 claymore. I am so, so glad that blocking with a weapon is finally a viable option rather than a last resort. The most satisfying gameplay in any From Soft RPG.
Also I'm gushing about how different attack elements are useful again. I'm carrying around holy bombs, fire arrows, and a blunt weapon on top of my claymore to deal with different threats. This game emphasizes RPG elements in a way we haven't seen since Demon's Souls. So, so happy to finally play this masterpiece.

What am I missing with the summoning ashes? Sometimes it just won't let me use them even when I am out roaming the world.
Yep!
This one will take some time. Keep visiting her and let her hug you. You'll be able to talk with her. Eventually she'll ask you for a favor. I think you'll need to take down a couple Lords first, but eventually her dialog options will expand. I won't say more, but there's indeed a purpose for her.
I've been wandering around as a Wretch for 5 hours and haven't found any yet lol. I wanna go DEX/INT but only have 13 DEX to use a falchion an enemy dropped.
You can use them only when they icon glows bright near the statues
Have played for my first two hours. Quick thoughts:
World design always means a lot to me and this one seems wonderful. I am heading off in all sorts of directions after seeing something interesting. I am pretty fucking lost right now and loving it. Major BOTW vibes from some of these elements.
I love that the game just lets you loose, yes it can feel a bit overwhelming but I am just so bored of highly directed open worlds with objective markers popping off everywhere at this point.
Combat so far had felt good but more of same…I won't lie in saying that I miss how incredibly tight Sekiro felt. I can't see this topping that game in terms of combat but I had kind of guessed that going in.
On PS5, I am happy with visuals. Playing in performance mode and I can certainly see drops and some terrain pop in however nothing that has been too rough personally.

Reading about Souls vets struggling on early bosses is making me nervous… I've played Demons and enjoyed it but cheesed some bosses (poison cloud on Allant), beat Dark Souls with a super-tanky build to make life easy, and I managed to clear Bloodborne but only just through massive over levelling and tbh I found it a bit miserable. DS3 I bounced off and Sekiro brutalised me. Couldn't beat it.
Sounds like the difficulty might be a bit much for someone like me? How do people feel about the pre-launch goal that this should be more accessible than previous titles?

There's just so much to find in these starting areas, gonna be hours before I get to Margit.
Highly recommend going south! A lot to find down there

It's more accessible in that you can go somewhere else instead of beating your head against Boss X for 5 hours. You can discover new locations and things instead, then go back to Boss X when you feel ready.
what level were you when you beat him? im using a +3 greatsword and I feel like im not doing too much damage.
or maybe he is just meant to be pretty tanky
It's even more awkward for me since I changed the controls lol, I have to press X+B to two hand a weapon.
Im a "souls vet" but I've never considered myself to be "good" at these games. I am okay enough to get by, but I'm not really having much trouble with the game of that helps at all. I think maybe some vets aren't making use of ERs new mechanics and playing it too much like Dark Souls which ends up making the game a lot harder than it needs to be. Use the mechanics the game gives you (Jumping heavy, ashes, charged attacks, guard counter, spirit summons) and you'll be fine.
been stuck on a boss far far far far worse for almost 4 hours now
Playing in online mode? Did you use the consumable item that lets you see summon signs?
I played wretch and bought my first spell at about 4 hours of game time. If you avoid some of the tougher areas initially and level through smaller enemies during exploration you should be finr!
He's super punishing and demanding for someone who seems to be the first (intended) major boss encounter.
I fucking love jolly cooperation. I haven't even leveled up any yet, found nothing for my wretch except a pair of greaves, but I finally found and beat my first boss in the catacomb area and now I get to help others. Now I'll be able to finally level up lol
Just had 3x wretches fight it (and lose) beautiful

Been playing as confessor and this game is killing me. I've only cleared two camps and have otherwise just been dying, haven't even beat the tree sentinel, I'm considering restarting as Astologer or Vagabond. Is it worth it?
See threadmarks for co-op info, there's a link to a Polygon guide too
It's a consumable? Like limited use? Just to see the signs?
Ugh, we'll that probably explains it. I probably thought it was yet another garbage crafting material.
Does anyone know if summoning NPC characters for boss fights buff the boss? I know they do for actual co-op players but didn't know if it did for the NPC ones.
There's a crafting station (anvil and hammer) right next to the first merchant (Santa looking dude). You can upgrade up to +3 on your own.
Is it even possible to summon from the
roundtable
Huh. Guess I made that harder for myself than I had to. Ah well, I got by fine.
I'm 12 hours in and haven't gotten to Margit yet... I've found like a dozen weapons and pieces of armor and I'm Level 30
There's an anvil you can do your own smithing at next to the first merchant (in the church) right in the starting area.
Ok, so swapped in a PS4 controller on PS5 and still no vibration.
Is anyone playing this on a Playstation console getting vibration?
