You probably can't see it yet on your map. How many fragments do you have?

 

I just opened the map even more this evening. I just need a better image so I can get there. I have like 4-5 map fragments now. I see a huge portion of the map now.

 

BTW, I tried fighting Forlorn hound evergaol down in the south and couldn't beat him. I only get him down to half health. He is way too fast for me. I want that damn sword, too!

You can do it. Just don't be greedy. Keep distance, and only attack when its convenient. Also make sure you aren't fat rolling.

He transports right next to you and fucks you up with no chance to get out of the way. That's why I want to level up to go back to him so I can handle him. Will he give me his sword? 

 

I did beat a boss today with a cooperative teammate. I love that aspect of this game.

When you beat him he drops his sword. Do you run with a shield?

Do you have a shield? Guard counter is the way.

Yes, you get Bloodhound Fang.

Yea, I have a shield.

Come to think of it I don't recall using my shield. I kept rolling and running away. I'll have to use my shield next time. That would be dope if I got his sword.

There are some moves you have to dodge from him but if you block his last move with your shield you get a chance to counter with a heavy attack. You might be able to land a quick attack too but for the most part be patient and wait for him to open himself up for a counter hit.

Ok, will do. Thanks!

Man the view from Castle Morne's boss area back upwards is ridiculous. The atmosphere!

It was beautiful.

 

Also, I took down Renalla about an hour ago. Thats my second rune, so I could "technically" go beat the game. But I am so, so many hours from that, and I definitely want all the Great Runes.

 

Renalla was disappointingly easy. Roll and hack, roll and hack. I imagine it's harder for a mage class though. Its an interesting as hell scene tho

Okay well yet another one of these posts but the Sofria River Bed area is without a doubt one of the coolest things I've seen in a videogame. Cresting that hill reminds me of how magical shit like Legend felt when you were a kid.

Holy shit wait...there's a map and all...it's not just a little dungeon. Oh my 😐

 

Yeah mentioned this earlier in my spoilers. I thought it would be a quick trip and I'd go back to the castle but the place is huge.

Stopped for the night at level 56. I had so much fun in the academy, it was like nothing I had ever seen before in the game. 

 

And now I can respec (when I find a certain item), though im not sure I care to do so, yet at least. Maybe later if I find awesome Confessor gear or something.

Stopped at lvl 69 and +15 halberd. Been helping people in coop I really enjoy it. Build is coming together I think I am a level or 2 away from the soft cap in Dex. Will move on to Endurance after. I two hand so str is good at 28 for now. Will focus in endurance. Wanna see if I can recreate my medium armour fast roll build from DS1.

Man, I thought I played a lot. I haven't done the second legacy dungeon as they are called. I mean, I'm like level 58 and I keep knocking out side content but still. Maybe I just wasted too much time trying to find shit. Like, I have spent two days in the foggy swamp without ever entering the academy.

This game is so fucking epic in the true sense of the word. Stuff like going through Castle Morne, fighting a boss to the sound of crashing waves and whipping rain and then emerging from the castle to call your fucking ghostly goathorse to ride back up the hill you fought your way down earlier, games don't get cooler than this.

 

First Returnal, now this. I'm not gonna recover from this insane GOAT overload.

Had a good night tonight:

 

- Went and fought Darriwil for that sword. I completely sucked the entire fight; straight up could not figure out the dodge timing. But, I had an advantage in damage differential so I was able to power through.

 

- Listened to that guy in the Hold, took the teleporter to the northeast corner of the map, gave the guy his deathroot. No idea what any of it means, I don’t even remember who dropped the deathroot. 
 

- Tried to farm smithing stones; didn’t go so well. Feels like I haven’t been stumbling upon many. 
 

- Beat Godric thanks to my fancy new sword and jellyfish pal.

Is it in the Castle?

I think it's the guy I was talking about in the chat.  Just beat Godrick at level 31. Before that I beat Darwil for the sword. Also beat another mini boss for another summon and beat that Castle Morne boss. Making steady progress but I haven't found nearly as much stuff as you guys have. Still hunting for dungeons and stuff.

I hit the soft cap of 40 dex and have done the Caria Manor. Gonna move on to the Atlus Plateau so I can do stuff more at my level and get lvl 5 and 5 smithing stones. Currently at +14 on my Halberd. Found a dragon near Caria Manor that I want to kill but not sure if I can do it as I am.

The end of the morne quest was definitely pretty interesting too. Going back to the girl kind of shocked me.

Finally went back to Godric and took him out. Stripped down to almost nothing so I could light roll and smacked him with my trusty Zweihander. I think it was Bacon who mentioned this earlier, but on some of these fights, what armor I’m wearing doesn’t really seem to matter, because I’m getting hit for 50% of my health or more most of the time no matter what.

I have yet to find her again. I know she's roadside entering the Southern region somewhere but I need to go investigate. Forgot to put a marker for her argh
