Thread is moving too fast to catch up but are there any good tips to get started before hitting the palace? Iām an astrologer and just got into the open world. Found a catacomb Iām currently working through.
find and clear every dungeon you can, they are all worth it in some way
Fixed without a patch, as network issues tend to be server-side fixes?
Yeah. Get this.
ITs not too difficult to get at all.
Scales to you INT stat with S rating.
I absolutely decimated Margit with this.
I have never simultaneously loved and hated a game so much in my life.
Glad they finally fixed this
I have realised too late into my dex samurai build that I love greatswords instead 
Keep getting better weapons that are greatswords, also talismans for greatsword guard counter, like smh nothing for my Katana yet 
The bloodhound curved greatsword is FUEGOOO with its Ash of War, just donāt have the fucking strength stats for single wielding it without damage loss.
BTW Guard Counter + Storm wind Ash of War destroys Knights in the stormveil castle. I didnāt think they could be more annoying than Lothric Knights but they are. And this the best way to just tear through them.
So for those who have the disc version there is a way to play the game on a series X With the one X version. Itās far from ideal as you are playing the whole game offline but it does seem to work and will get you a near locked 60fps:
You can respec after a little way in (itās expensive as the item needed for it is rare).
bruh lol
when both of em are walking, you donāt know whoās the boss anymore.
I tried a few times to beat Margit, gave up and did nothing but explore for 2 or 3 hours. Saw some knights and goblins-looking things fighting each other so that was cool.
Bamco posting Vaatiās video, you love to see it.
I found an optional boss that made me me laugh out loud, I wonāt even hint about it but i was grinning the entire time.
That was really cool! I let them kill each other and then I took care of the survivors, well it sucks to be them! 
I have already played 15 hours and I still havenāt visited the castle, the amount of content in this starting area is absurdā¦like how the fuck From is doing this? Iāve seen more enemy variety in this area than what other whole games have to offer. Gameplay is excellent as always but definitely improved with the addition of stealth, horse riding and jumpā¦all the above with of course the open world design make this game feel so new and fresh when compared to DS3 for example (which is still a great game btw). ER really is Fromās past game experience distilled into an open world, itās really amazing thus far.
Also run into a fucking treasure chest that teleported me into an whole other area of the map with a red sky that @Hearthian mentioned yesterdayā¦like I donāt evenā¦
Also some of those enemy designs manā¦the game is like a crazy mix of beautiful and grotesque. Talk about some occult shit right there. 
Wow, this explains why all the messages Iāve been leaving have been getting rated much more frequently this morning. Every minute or two my health gets replenished when someone rates one. Turns out leaving messages everywhere is the true easy mode. 
This is exactly what I did! 
I mean this as an absolute compliment to them - I think From is doing this by pouring their efforts into game design and content rather than agonising over photorealistic visuals. Thereās something almost indie-like about the bizarre, twisted creativity theyāre pushing in this open world, which isnāt something you see very often in such a big-budget āAAAā game from a major dev and publisher. I love it.
Shockingly adoring this. Iām not a Soulslike fan and I still am not huge on the combat here but by god the world is great. I havenāt had this desire to take shit slow and explore since BOTW, Fallout 4 and Skyrim before it (Forza Horizon too, but you take those fast!) That is great company to keep.
I hope we get more of these immersive open worlds and less Ubisoft theme parks going forward.
