So here's my weapon:
If you like the bleed then try out a katana. They're really fast and have a similar rate of blood loss buildup. You have enough DEX to equip most of them. There is at least one in southern Limgrave that you can find. If you're attached to STR-scaling weapons then a mace is also an option. Not all of them have bleed, though. I know of one that does located in the area of the main continent south of Limgrave.
I just picked up the Uqitaitakiakia thing.
Or as I like to call it, the Uchi Gucci.
I don't want to tell you how to live your life, but this is unhealthy behavior and you should break yourself out of it. My new rule of thumb with Elden Ring is that if it takes more than an hour to defeat a boss, then I'm doing something wrong. Either I'm under-leveled (relative to my skill level) or my strategy is wrong. The worst thing you can do is get into that repeated loop of banging your head against a wall for 7 hours straight. Are you even enjoying the game at that point?
I just know I can do it. I just get tricked up or he does that rot thing right off the bat. If I stay at his left knee, he just spins in circles for the most part. Half the time I'm one or two hits from killing him.
correct, the number in brackets i.e. [2] indicates the "quality" of the item, so once you upgrade to a certain point you need the high quality versions
There is another shortcut menu you can use, I'm not sure how it works on kb/m but on xbox controller it's accessed via holding the Y button - in the menus you can assign four commonly used items to it to avoid needing to scroll through your potions bar.
Did you use that Uchi at +5 or did you upgrade it further?
+6? I think?
Lol that zone will be ez mode compared to Caelid.
huh. I thought Caelid was after Limgrave. Or are you expected to backtrack to areas?
There's a general questline that will take you through the areas in an appropriate way. You might want to pay attention to some of the NPC's you've found.
The typical path is Limgrave -> Weeping Peninsula-> Stormveil -> Liurnia -> Academy -> Underground -> Caelid I believe.
I hate story lines. I just mash the go button. Big thing that I like about the game, I'm not all tied up into chasing NPCs and following quests.
wat. wow. I really messed that up. haha, I'm like 80% done Caelid. I haven't done Weeping Peninsula I don't think. No Liurnia. No Academy. I don't even know what underground is. haha
You can play it your way. Ultimately, the only 'requirement' to beating the game is just having 2 great runes. That's it. However, the various zones have certain levels in mind, and there are a few major quest lines that will largely take you through the 'correct' path of zones.
Yea, I thought that was meant to be the next stop. I knew these games were intended to be difficult, so I just rolled with it thinking this is just the way it is. Difficult way for sure, heh.
Caelid is more of a mid game area. You are still early game it seems, you have about 80-90% of the content left.
mmk, that's neat. I do like the exploring and wandering around. I'm so stubborn that I get myself hooked on a difficult boss. I must have done that decaying dragon about two hundred times. A hundred sixty times I got it to about 20%. I knew I could do it, I just kept missing a swing, or it'd do that giant aoe deal. Reminds me of the raiding days in Molten Core and BWL. Its a good thing I don't do casinos. XD
That's where I am as well. I haven't followed any guide or anything, so I'm just winging it. Next character I'll plan out better. Probably even try a caster of some sort.
The game can be launched in offline mode in the options. Invasions also do not happen while you're playing solo when connected online. Invasions are only possible when another player is summoned to your world, or you're summoned into another player's world. NPC summons do not enable invasions.
