Can't even consistently get far enough to witness it yet :(
I had to take a week off the game whilst I had an actual social life for a change, but I've been back on it today to make my way through the academy and beat Rennala and the red wolf 💪They were both pretty easy if I'm being honest, I'm guessing I was a little overpowered going in at level 52 with my +5 Bloodhound Fang. I had a lot more trouble with that really annoying Knight who was guarding the lift up to Rennala.
I know it's still early days in the grand scheme of things, but I never thought I'd get this far with a From game, so I'm feeling chuffed (for the time being)

He uses a Bloodhound Fang weapon so it seems likely that could be a cause of it. As I told him though it doesn't matter - when the game rolls in your favour you take it.
His favourite enemies now are the ones we've nicknamed the 'Toot Toot' enemies in the capital the Oracle Envoys and I've also introduced him to Patches and his japes. He now wants to meet him in all the other games but there is no way I'm letting him play Bloodborne!
I'm at a similar point- how did you get the +5 stone? My fang is +4 and I haven't seen anything better
I was stuck on Maliketh for three days.. first phase super easy but the second phase just kicked my ass. I finally stopped being stubborn and did a respc so I could use Rivers of Blood and killed him on my first try. Felt really good.. really good. My mimic also helped. Almost makes me want to go though the entire game with a bleed build
Is it now "better" to two hand a collosal weapon instead of power stancing two of them, with the exception of jump attacks?
I respecced back into pure strength and I have no idea what to do now. Using Grafted Greatsword and it's OK but kinda boring

also FYI if you have already explored up there and done that much of Yura, you should be close to being able to respec, if not already.
Oh I don't know if I can remember precisely the location 🤔
Have you explored to the North West of the lakes? Where Caria Manor is? I haven't actually been in that manor, but there's a big fella nearby who upgrades arnaments for you and I'm sure he sells sombre stones, so I may have got it from him. If not, I think I found it exploring the general area and caves up in that North West direction.
Yeah the dude sells stones up to +4 that's where I got up to that level. I'll explore more around there, thanks!
You've got me questioning myself now and maybe I'm actually +4 rather than 5, but I can't be bothered to turn my PS5 back on to check 😂
No I'm sure I am +5 cos I know I need to find a +6 sombre stone from somewhere.

...very cool fight in many ways, the two things that just make it a bit too crazy are the lifesteal and the crazy whirlwind attack. Though to be honest, if you took both of those things away, the fight might be too easy...they are otherwise so susceptible to getting knocked down and staggered.
Malenia
At a similar spot (now up to altus plateu) and equally happy with my performance so far, it's pretty rewarding. The knight guarding the lift up to rennala I just lured out and had boulders fall on him 🤷♂️
I would suggest doing it the opposite way. I only marked stuff I did not complete/explore/simply got stuck on. That made it very easy for me to find what I had not completed. If something was not even on my map, I knew I had to find the location and complete it. Kept my map clean and easy to find stuff.
I'm sure other people have done it but on a first playthrough I feel like most people would be drawn to exploring Altus or Caelid before going all the way to Leyndell. I know I basically just fully explored every other region before actually going into Leyndell on my first run.
I just beat the first story boss today. I had only beaten a couple of field bosses and Margit when I made that post. I can't wait to respec.
Oh I supose that's true. I got the potion from him but found his corpse recently and hadn't seen her since he gave me the potion anyway. I heard I could give it to dung eater and that was my plan but I havent found him in the sewers yet
Well I've started going through NG+ now. Was feeling like a God slapping around the entirety of Stormveil Castle. Rolled up on 3 of the giant lobsters and got stunlocked, knocked off my horse and killed like a chump by their sniper spit. Then it happened again on the return to loose like 400k runes. Was a real rude wake up call to not get too cocky.
After probably >120 attempts, I finally beat Malenia last night. I was about to call it quit for the day, but on my 20th run of the night, I just had an amazing run where everything clicked. I was so hyped I ran to Radagon/Elden Beast and beat them on 4th try. IMO Elden Beast looks neat but the fight was boring. Felt like I could barely tell what was hitting me or what I was even hitting half the time. Now gonna spend a few days collecting more weapons before triggering the final cutscene and starting new game plus.
For me personally, maybe the best game i've ever played.

Gideon told me to go to the Capital so that's where I went. I kept waiting for him to drop "okay now we have to do Caelid for reasons" and when I finally realized he was never going I was post-FA. I rolled up on Radahn at Level 130.
about 40mins today on M for solo challenge good progress what i've learnt after starting to be able to dodge waterflow you can just get really screwed if she wants to do it super early or right after a dash /combo so you are either fucked because dodging it on top of her is insanely hard that and trying to bait her to do it takes to long
that and it's a bitch trying to figure out if shes gonna open up with her super armor attack which will always screw me up since she loves to wait for you to attack
i will beat her at somepoint powerstancing Halberds

It's a way to command your spirit summon to attack a particular target.
Day 3 of Solo M and I took the advice of one of the hard cores on Reddit who beat her with handicaps and switched to using spells from far range on phase 1. Since M is so passive then if you stay out of say, the range of her lunging stab attack I found her to be pretty calm and only move forward once hit, but not doing anything else. This way I can hit, run, hit, run and not have to either get hit or block which gives her health back. If waterfowl happens it's much easier to dodge if the first 2 flurries miss too bc she just goes past you and then in place flurries for the next two.
Phase 2….all bets are off though. At least through grinding phase 1 the harder way though I think I can recognize like 75% of her toolkit in melee and parry sone and dodge others, but no idea on the new moves ofc.

Try to bait it after you deal around 25%-30% of damage, then throw some shit at her* from afar. You'll probably be able to outrun the first two parts of attack with ease then dodge away from the third one. At least with me she didn't do it back to back so just repeat the process...
*try to use something that wil hit her because she might just keep dodging indefinitely
For the second phase just pray she doesn't do it lol
I fully explored Altus also before the Capital since you kinda have to go through it to get to Leyndell. I'm really curious what the recommended area is after Lurina.
Oh wow that's awesome. I did notice the strange animation but thought it was just for style. Now I see it's totally that.
yeah i'll most likely grab some knives to just chuck at her
as with a lot of fights its so RNG some times she'd do it at like not even 80% which is almost certain shes gonna do it again which is bad luck others i'd have her sub 40% waiting on it
I have noticed that a good indication that the waterfowl is coming is when you deal around that ~30% of damage she might spin away from you so I would just hang back and bait
Standing still and throwing two projectiles was usually the best way to bait it for me
I have no clue where to go in Farum Azula,I have 7 Graces but I keep going in a circle it seems...want to finish this game this week...at 180 hours,level 150,starting to get my fill lol...
I am betting I need to kill that sleeping white Dragon maybe,or is he optional?
He is optional. The area people get lost is the room with a Crucible Knight there is actually a drop off, I think on the right? If you cant find the Crucible Knight, He is up a staircase from the Dragon Alter Grace. There is a stairwell there that is a little hidden.
I just saw a streamer instant kill G Duo when bleed procced at their halfway point.
Margit Shackle to fuck up the chariots in the capital hero grave still works!! Was worried it would be patched out by the time I got here but when a relief, one and done 😅
good to know will continue to chip away at it through out the week since it's the one thing i currently hop on ER right now for, today was the first time i really tried learning it
Ahh yea thats a glitch that affects every status effect, not just bleed.
I'm getting a number of spooky glitches in Duo co-op tonight including the status proc instakill...but also whatever this is...
We waited another minute and a half then left. :(
With Bloodhound step remaining untouched adjustments-wise, I honesty think the best way to handle it is to remove it as an Ash of War and somehow make it or quickstep the default roll if you're at low weight cuz what's present now is only gonna eventually feel like a redux to everyone ninja flipping in havel's, if it hasn't gotten to that vibe already, but that's definitely something I disliked in DS1 and was glad to see it adjusted then. IDK maybe it's cuz I dislike most of the high poise body pieces (in terms of looks, but there are some good ones I will readily admit that) but low equip weight feels like it needs something going for it cuz otherwise there's no reason not to stack poise and I say that as someone who likes his mages and battle mages chonky and tanky and bruiser-esque.
But IDK maybe being restricted to lighter pose affair due to your build requiring investments elsewhere or making use of the buffs to damage from specific damage boosting gear, makes how it's currently balanced ok, ugh I hate being of two minds on this sorta thing, the above is how I would definitely try to adjust things at the very least but maybe it would have awful knock on effects like being able to quickstep/BH step and having a offensive Ash of War available simultaneously and maybe that's just too spicy, given that you can do so currently you just have to deal with command queue-ing with regards to weapon swapping your offhand mid combat. (Though that line of thought can go two ways given whether you agree/disagree with the notion that current input queueing feels bottlenecked or whether its fine as it is currently).
Sorry this is kinda out of the blue but figured a decent discussion* could be had on not just Bloodhound Step but maybe small adjustments you'd like to see made in your opinion ofc.
*: Or maybe I'm just overthinking about an Ash of War XD
