Lol that’s what my guy looks like, but switches back and forth between uchigatana and meteor staff. Doing a hybrid build with enough str/dex to be able to clear trash with melee and break out the spells for the bosses and harder mobs. Seems to work well enough so far, but really need more FP. Is there anything around that adds regen of any kind for it?

Also need to find a sword that scales with int better than the uchi nodded to add some magic damage and int scaling

I found an int scaling sword earlier...Crystal Sword, I think? It looks badass too, like a blue energy sword, kind of.

HP regen is soooo good in these games.

I think there are several different styles of talisman for FP regen. I do think there's something with just pure regen over time, but I think it's pretty late game.

I've been using the HP regen talisman for like the whole game, it's so good. Saves on estus when you're at a boss door and don't mind sitting for a minute to regen, etc.

Other accessory was the +HP one I started with, then the charge attack bonus, then eventually the HP one again. Turns out the HP ring is percentage based, not flat, so you get 5% regardless of level. With 50 Vigor, that was like an extra hundred HP. Then I found a better version of the HP ring that has like +15%. It's pretty sick.

Welp, I think I'm close to the end now. Still haven't seen any snow areas though, so who knows. Have all story bosses down except whatever is beyond that now-opened sealed door. Working on getting my weapon and summon powered up, but it looks like the mats I need are pretty much all from the snow region now (they're +18 and +7 respectively).

I switched the str scaling Heavy Twinblade out for a dex scaling Keen Godskin Peeler twinblade and respecced to move a ton of points from Str to Dex, now the GP totally wrecks things while I hide behind my 50 Vigor and 25 Endurance. Gonna keep pumping dex (it's 45 now I believe) while I look for those mats and hopefully arrive at the final battles in good enough shape to beat them.

I don’t get how he is using two weapon abilities, I must be missing something
Click to expand...
I think he’s weapon swapping by going two handed? Or cycling the one sword out completely. You see him put a sword away right before that parry then pull it back out.

Honestly, I was having a shit ton f problems with the stupid knight with polearm, and then completely raped him by simply starting heavy attack right at the same time he did and I won everytime. Shit like that goes a loooong way in having success it seems. I usually just bang my head against a wall.

Did anyone ever find out what this section on the map is:

View attachment 401356

It's one of those statues up the hill to the east of the plague church but it points down in to the Radahn beach area and that's all just empty near as I can tell?
Click to expand...
If you just follow the cliff face north on radhan's beach you'll run into the "War-Dead Catacombs" near the sea. It's not hidden or anything.

I used a mausoleum to get both items from Rennala. It may not be efficient, but I enjoy the Lunar spell sooo much.

One thing I learned from good souls streamer is to avoid only rolling back or to a side. Roll frontal over the attack instead! The souls game are not counting a hit when something passes you midair. Advantage: you are in front of the mob and get a window of opportunity instead having rolled away.
Also ER allows you to jump(!) over many attacks and some spells. And yes, parry is very underrated but needs practice.

See for a first time souler like myself I have a very hard time remember rolling into attacks. I’m so use to either jumping back or rolling backwards in other games to avoid a hit. It’s damn near counter intuitive for me. If I get hit and fall on the ground my first reaction is to roll backwards or jump and BAM I’m dead cause I literally rolled into the attack. I died countless of times because of this.

I found that turtle shield very early on, before I even had a chest piece. It was really cool, cause it felt like something that someone desperate would really do lol

Yeah this is definitely something that takes getting used to, but you will find the game so much easier once you learn to lean in. Try practicing on those giants that are chained to the big black carts since they tend to be easier to dodge. Get in FRONT of one of them, and when they lift their foot up, roll into them and you will notice you will usually end up behind them, ready to strike. Another thing to learn is not to mash the button, you don't want to roll more than once (which again, from personal experience, I know is hard to do especially in the heat of the moment. I can't tell you how many times I accidentally roll too many times and away from the mob, or accidentally drink more than 1 health potion).

yeah with colossal swords those extra swings you requested a decade ago show up like a burp from yesterday's taco bell.

Stop using fucking peddles to roll around. It’s no wonder your dick and legs are twitching every time you get near a ledge.
