Got low on HP and flasks while jousting a giant so made haste to the Warmaster's Shack.  It was chasing me the whole way, plowing through trees like they were nothing.  When I got to the Warmaster's Shack it started doing an area attack and whatever its version of that Thu'um shout or whatever from Skyrim is, which blasted the Warmaster, taking a chunks out of his HP so I went further into the woods to lure it away.  Some meters later, wolves dropped down from somewhere unknown and started attacking me and Torrent.  I could only hold them off for so long until the giant caught up. Killed the entire pack in three seconds with a downward and side swing of it's sword.  Fought it for about five more minutes. When the dust settled there was one big ass dead giant and a small field with scattered knocked over trees where a forest used to be.

 

 

 

I just got attacked by another giant dragon. And i swear, every time I think I scoured an area, I find a new dungeon.

Played this game for 8 hours today. Talk about addicting! I almost beat Margit with the help of two human players. I gave up for the day on him. I'm level 29 so maybe I'm under leveled? I may have to move on to another boss for now. 

 

My nephew gave me great tips and actually dropped items that I could take. I had no idea you could do that so that's awesome.

 

I'll be back at it tomorrow. I fucking love this game even though it's kicking my ass.

I feel like if you were strong enough to handle that Dragon you’d be ok in the mines, those Centipede things are still thah toigh? 

The problem is all those crystal assholes around and I’m using a melee build. Currently using a +4 claymore and that does little more than tickle damage in there.

I had to look up this Tree Sentinel everyone is talking about, not realizing it was basically one of the first enemies you (can) meet. :lol: Yeah, I ran around that dude at first and just haven't been back there. 

Ok, now that I’ve got my big fuck-off sword, I was able to take him out by doing a few drive-bys on my trusty steed. Fun stuff.

The Curved Greatsword from the Gaol mini-boss? I'm using that, it's fucking great.

 

Jump attacks are great in this game. I found a talisman to enhance those. Yum

Yeah that's what I'm using, the Ash of War is incredibly powerful and gives you big distance, and if you follow it up with a heavy attack you do the Gaol boss' phase attack where you go invisible (and invincible) and lunge forward to do another heavy hit. It ate Margit for breakfast. 

 

How do you summon spirits? I have so many and don't know how to summon them, even got the bell...

You equip and use them as an item. You can only summon in specific areas, usually near bosses, after you’ve activated a “summoning pool” nearby.

I cannot fucking believe Stormveil Castle is just there, just one 'dungeon' in the world. The level design and scale are some of From's best work for my money.

 

Godrick at the end with the stormy skybox, it's just so good.

Even after Godric, im sure I missed a bunch of stuff in there. 

Today I beat the Evergaol Wolf, another dragon, and an Erdtree guardian with my Vagabond. With my mage I beat 7 mini caves/dungeons, Margit, Tree Guardian, The Dragon in the swamp, Godric, the first spider boss, by far the most productive of my three days. Stuff is starting to go down

The specific spirit, right? Yeah I have one set to my pouch but it never lights up.

 

I had the same issue.  Make sure there is that little Blue Gate symbol lit up on the left side of the screen.  Also make sure you have enough FP Points, I had a summon that cost more than I had total FP, cause I only have 65 FP right now.  It never lit up, and when I tried my character grabbed towards his belt but didn't do anything.

Guys read the tips on the load screen. They explain a lot of the questions being asked in this thread.

Oh yeah lemme read the loading tip that's on screen for 1.2 seconds I'll get right on that!

 

(Even when they're up longer I look away because some dumbass thought every loading screen image should be a spoiler.)

Thats odd. It usually works at a boss or powerful enemy. The jellyfish is a great tank.

Is it cause I'm playing offline?

It shouldn't be. 

PC? Maybe check reddit or steam forums. 

Ill get this on pc when its optimized. 

 

 

So do you guys think we'll get large DLC expansions down the line? Or do they do something else?

They usually do DLC but it varies from game to game. I don't think Sekiro got any significant DLC but all of the other games did. Extra dungeons and bosses and stuff.

Your level is fine, your tactics probably sound like they could be better. Backstabs are important. If he gets staggered, which should happen fairly often with 2 summons, go for a backstab for big damage. And remember what I said earlier, don't block just roll against him.

In a D1P git gud first, I will stream my Maritus attempts for the next 20-30 minutes while I wait for dinner. Not paying attention to this or the chat (for the most part)

Godric runs until I beat him or go to bed.

The little blueish gravestone symbol must be on the left side of the screen and you have to have enough FP to cast the spirit as well. 

 

Basically the game dictates where you can use them by having that gravestone icon pop up.
