I finally leveled up enough to have the strength to use the Brick Hammer. It's not the best weapon I have but it breaks enemies poise almost every hit that they aren't able to attack back. Doesn't hurt that it has B strength scaling. Makes my guy look like he means business. I'm rotating between this and Bloodhound's Fang.

It's also great for Crystalin Caves. Bladed weapons do almost no damage to them, but the hammers destroy their shit.

Sword and board gets a lot better when you get a better board. The basic knights from the start of the game can drop the Brass Shield, which I'm still using. Put Barricade on it and it's a pretty solid medium shield. 

 

I have a few shields but at around level 30something (I believe that’s where I left off) I’m using a Beast Crest Heater shield and it seems to have a really good weight / defense ratio.

Any of those Medium shields like heaters with 100 Phys are great in my opinion. Beyond that, I just swap for variations of non-phys defense values like magic. But I also use that spell that enchants your shield for magic damage negation etc.

Decided to install it on my 4500u Neo. 27-32FPS with the odd dip to 25 when its loading a new area. I have AA on high because 1280x720 is too blurry without. Might do my samurai playthrough on the Neo. Atleast while I finish up my main character.

 

Edit: This id on the medium preset except for high AA.

I went back to the Crystalin Caves to lay the hammer down to my ex captors and explored the caves some more and found a few more smithing stones and the doorway to the Fallingstar Beast :o This game has so many secrets just lying around. Also that dude is no joke. Need to level up some more before I take him on.

That thing is nasty. I was pretty confident strolling in there the last time and it still crushed me hard.

Since every one says she is so hard an punishes people who use heavy weapons, I'm going to try and one shot Trump's wife tonight. Without a summon of course. 

 

I've been using only heavy weapons and it's not that it's hard just that lighter weapons make fights easier. My friend started his game as a bandit and they can strike enemies multiple times before they can even attack. With heavy weapons it's about dodging and choosing when to strike since you usually can only get 1 hit on bosses before they attack after they whif. Requires a lot more patience. I am using a shield through my playthrough so I was mostly counter striking because I sucked at dodging. After putting 40+ hours dodging is coming second nature to me.

I summoned help for the full grown fallingstar beast and the guy one shotted it with some giant continuous magic beam. I tried messaging him/her after but their profile is private. It was similar to the magic beam from the sword of night and flame, but over twice as big. Anyone know what that might have been? I must possess this.

Just attempted her.  Decided to come back after I either respec to be an actual efficient build, or I level up some more.  Not sure what other content I have left though.

I hate that I even know of this boss. Luckily, I have never seen the boss and I don't know any of its moves. All I know is that it is fast and where it is located. I still don't know what the final boss is which is just amazing since people every where are basically spoiling everything willy nilly like the burning of the tree and the capital of ash, like that shit was basic facts that everyone knew going into the game.

was just informed that my lightning spear can be buffed from the lightning talisman which is poggers 


Where does one acquire the lightning spear? I’ve only found the frost one so far. And are you a faith build? What incantations do you like? I just respected to faith so I’m in the feeling out process.

I mean, everything I've seen around souls games has been open conversation in every corner of the net. It seems its what the community is built on, the zeitgeist of sharing what you've found.

It is a dex weapon found in the royal capital.

Uh, no. Maybe you go around in spoiler filled topics but I don't and I still got spoiled. Fuckin' the FFXIV reddit spoiled Trump's Wife by going "Cosplay of Boss name, The Blade of Lore character". 

Spoiler

And no one was spoiling end game shit like this. People weren't spoiling the Kiln of The First Flame in DS1. DS2 hand nothing to spoil lol. No one mentioned that German was the final boss or the hidden last boss Moonboi that I didn't encounter on my first play thru because I had no idea. No one told me the Dream would start burning in BB. I had no clue about Nameless King until I knew I was near the end of the game and went to the wiki to look up any bosses that I missed. Like, spoiling the capital of ash is a pretty big deal. That is a totally unexpected in-world-changing event. Something like that shouldn't have ever been spoiled. Same with your finger maiden being kindling. Such rare story moments should have been spoiled and nothing like that was spoiled for me from DS1-Sekiro.

Made it to

siofra river

today and leveled up to 75. Beat some mini bosses but still did not come across my third great rune. I feel like I’m getting close to one though. I thought the

manor and then the three sisters area

was going to be my next big foe but it was only a mild boss I didn’t even need coop to beat on my first try. Can a mother fucker get some smith stone level 4s tho? Also I feel like I’ll never get the level 2 of the ash upgrade material.

Comparing social media then and now is disingenuous.

 

I see spoilers everywhere, from social media to headlines and forum posts. Its been willy nilly since day one, everywhere. Nobody is really spoining story beats.

 

I still fail to see how a name is that much of a spoiler. It tells you nothing of them, except that they have a blade and were probably a bodyguard. But I don't know what the solution to stop it is, you're the only person Ive seen upset about. Don't get me wrong, you have every right to feel However, I just think theres no way to avoid it at this point.

I think they are valid wants and wouldn't hurt the type of game Elden Ring is. At the very least it would be a great way to inform the player when a quest is over. There is at least one quest that seems to have many stopping points. 

 

Anyway, NPC on the map is a great addition. Especially, with quests were you can miss optional lore text because you have no clue where they went.

Well that one isn't so bad, but the final point in the spoiler is. That shit is huge spoilers.

I generally agree.  It seemed to be showing me NPC's I hadn't previously interacted with, which I'm not sure I'd agree with putting on the map.  But they might be characters I saw a long time ago that I forgot about.
