Ranni doesn't trigger the festival. In fact, I couldn't even start the Ranni quest because the festival started which means Bliadd is there.

That’s one frustrating thing with this game and From games in general. It’s ridiculously hard to know why anything is happening. Friend was trying some dual boss at redmane, getting stuck. I told him to go check out the capitol city for a bit so he did. Comes back and those bosses are now gone. Why? Who fuckin knows! I never even saw those bosses, why? Who fuckin knows!
The lack of any sort of simple journal and any idea of what quests are happening can be frustrating. I prefer the vagueness over a billion quest markers, I definitely don’t want that. Just a journal where some snippets from quests would be nice to give you an idea of all the shit you’re actually working on, cause right now I have no idea. The only quests I’ve actually figured out were quests were very direct, like the guy who tells you to use the item he gave you. The guy who tells you to give this potion to someone, etc.
The only way I’m ever going to know how to properly get through quests in this game is to look everything up online after the first play through.

Don't worry old man - this old man just figured out I need to activate great runes on the divine towers and use Arc fragments to activate them......
Yep.
As a side note, I beat Radahn
That crypt after is INSANELY hard. Also, any tips for Full-Grown Fallingstar Beast? This trash mob is harder than Radahn for God's sake.

Are you sure? The festival was started when I got there and I only had one half of the medallion, and haven’t started rannis quest. I didn’t start that or find the medals until after I killed radahn. I think…it’s so hard to keep track of wtf I’m actually in the middle of.

You just need to to talk to Ranni in the NW at Ranni rise, and then Bliadd will show up as an illusion, talk to Seluvis and then you can then start the festival stuff. Might have to go through Siofra river stuff as well. I actually only every talked to Bliadd in Rannis rise my first play through and never saw him elsewhere or otherwise and was able to complete her quest to do her ending.

Ranni isn't in the tower at all when the festival is going on, I checked and couldn't figure out why and even thought I was bugged. When I killed Radahn she showed back up and I was able to start the quest. She's not there during the festival because Blaidd is at the festival.

Yeah same. Blaidd was just chilling at the festival.
As for your Altus question, I don’t really know. I have no idea where the lift goes, haven’t got on it yet. I think I’ve been to that place though so I guess that’s why the festival started.

I had over 100 hours in when I got the plat trophy and wasn’t invaded by a PC once. I did help a few people who got invaded (via the ring that automatically summons you to help people that got invaded). Not sure if I did something wrong or didn’t enable something that allowed me to be invaded or wat.

Treid that - I am looking for other ways to cheese the thing.
Looks like the outcrop ledge helps but I was then pummeled by purple spike shit over there too. I think someone messed up a 0 on his HPO - turns out he has 12k HP and I have a longsword +16 that does about 1/32nd damage to him everytime I hit him. Also tried poison - which attaches fairly quickly but maybe whittles him down about an extra 3% through it's cycle. Then half way he goes fully ape shit - most I have had him down to is 25% and I really suck at wars of attrribition and patience
Which is maybe what I should try next. 1-2 hits, run. for 15 minutes....

Yea the traditional Fromsoft formula for quests/NPCs really shows it's weak points here sometimes. It sort of worked in the Dark Souls games because they were highly linear and you could be reasonably expected to cross paths with NPCs in a relatively particular order, but that just doesn't apply at all here anymore. The overworld being so fucking huge makes it a nightmare to find, or hell even notice NPCs. I didn't even know the shabriri grape chick existed my first playthrough cause she's just randomly standing near-ish to a grace and got lost in the background as I ran through.

Crypt after? You mean the War-Dead Catacombs? If so, it's pretty rough yeah, and the boss is a fucker. Finally got it cleared on Sunday, felt good. I think Caelid is cleared out now, other than the dragon on the bridge.
