I accidently stumbled in to Caelid around level 15 and got instantly demolished so I figured it was for higher level but didn't know it was near endgame. Been playing the Lakes area the past few hours and holy moly is this area massive. I knew this game was huge but wow. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cusideabelincoln Posted March 30, 2022 Share Posted March 30, 2022 Man the game was absolutely brutal until I got to around a level 15 character. After getting absolutely destroyed in Stormveil Castle by literally everything, I grinded through and finally beat most of it. Now when I roam around the rest of Limgrave, with a character level in the 20s,I dispatch enemies much easier. I probably should have explored and grinded more before entering the castle, and I definitely think I permanently lost several huge chunks of runes early on before I realized I needed them to level up my character. Getting more health has been absolutely critical to make the game more fun. Now I just hope to find some badass skills and weapons... and this is leading me to literally explore every square inch of an area. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bloodporne Posted March 30, 2022 Share Posted March 30, 2022 Alright so I gotta say I don't know how some of you guys marathon these open world epics regularly. I fucking love this game and even despite that I'm totally out of steam right now and have to put it down for a while just because of the amount I've been playing. I rarely play open world games but when I do, I tend to burn out around the 60 hour mark and never got back so far but hey, I've made it to about 110 hours here so far at least! I really liked Witcher 3 at first, like a lot, and even there I burnt out completely at around the 60 hour mark and never went back. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I just remember quite a few posters on here marathoning games like Assassin's Creed Valhalla and I can't even do it with Elden Ring, a game I absolutely love for the most part. I realized last night that I need to take a full break because I was starting to rush through things and getting legit frustrated. Think I'm gonna dip back into Returnal for the DLC content while also playing Hunt. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Comet Posted March 30, 2022 Share Posted March 30, 2022 I was today years old when I was in the middle of fighting Rennala Queen of what whatever and I realized I never got the summoning bell at all! I go to the location where you're supposed to get it but homegirl isn't showing up anymore. I had to go to the Roundtable Hold and someone sells it there. Well.... that would have made so many fights easier. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's the beauty of these games you can tackle it wherever/however you like. I did a bunch of other stuff first dealing with scarlet rot was annoying early on. I also hate fighting on horseback (it feels like shit imo) so maybe that's why Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bacon Posted March 30, 2022 Share Posted March 30, 2022 Jumping needs to remain in their titles, however, jumping attacks need to be removed and instead plunging attacks should make their return as long has you meet the height requirement. The attack speed of Great and Ultra Great needs to be buffed as well as their standard attacks are slower and weaker than jumping attacks so you have every strength user playing this game like it's fucking Mario.

osxmatt Posted March 30, 2022 Share Posted March 30, 2022 What’s the difference between a Rune Arc, and equipping a Great Rune at a site of grace? All the online stuff I read is all about equipping Great Runes via a Rune Arc, so is equipping them at a site of grace just a tease? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

To activate the effects of the Great Rune you must consume a Rune Arc. If you have ever played a Dark Souls game it is similar to the humanity system.

Equip at site, and then consume with Rune Arc. And similar to humanity, I'm guessing it wears off when you die. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
