How's it going?

After finishing NG+, leveling up tons of weapons to try different things, doing some things I didn't do 1st game, etc... I think I've had my fill for now.  Ended around level 270-280 or something.  Ended up staying sword and shield for the most part, but leveled up faith, arcane, and int to the extent of being able to equip basically any weapon and playing around with incantations and spells.  Looked something like this (sorry from memory)

vit :~50-60

End: ~50-55

Mind: ~20-25

Str: 60

Dex: 60

Faith: 30-35

Int: 35-40'ish(?)

Arcane: 23 I believe

The bloodhound sword is still a beast.  I boosted a LOT of weapons to +9/+24 and the scaling for dex/str (+ bonus of bleed) makes its damage one of the best.  However, I found that the The Blasphemous Blade is my go to for exploring where bleed isn't as big a deal.  The HP vamp is actually legit and it hits harder than bloodhound at base.

My biggest pet peeves/areas that I absolutely hated:

Castle Sol - the screaming guys, the knights, the boss, ugh.

The Halingtree -  All of it.  That place is absolute hell to navigate through.  I first tried it on NG+.  Not sure if it's significantly easier regular, but I bet it's not.

Ordina, Liturgical Town - As a sword n shield player, having to use a slot for a torch just ruined my whole playstyle.  Then add in the archers.  The assassins.  I hated this place.

Zamor Ruins - The "knights" there are brutal and they gang up on you.

Elden Beast - sorry, running around a huge map to catch him is just frustrating.  Beat him twice, so I did my part 🙂

Other than that, really enjoyed the rides and glad I was able to beat even NG+.  We'll see if I circle back around for a NG++.  If you guys want me to test level any weapons or such and let you know the stats/feedback, let me know.

Had to take a break because I gashed my finger and had to get stitches, back playing now, level 124 killed the fire giant and lord of blood tonight.

Still finishing up LOLs area and have gotten through Caleid quite bit as well.  This first play though is taking awhile with work demands lately but in no hurry.  Love this game.  

I have a really good weapon of every type but just keep coming back to my Longsword for most anything.  Ole faithful never lets me down

Beat it, the final boss is a pain in the ass, that put me off from playing a ng+ right now. Im going to play something else in between it. 

Yeah the Elden beast fight was probably my least favorite fight in the whole game from a mechanics standpoint. It was very cool looking but super fuging obnoxious having to chase tha dumb fuging thing around the void. Wearing holy resist gear and using holy buffs makes the fight pretty trivial though, FYI.

I used my regular tactics with my mimic tear. I just didnt melee the elden beast part of the fight much, just kept my mimic healed and hit him with black flame. 

It was just a terrible boss to end the game with.

buy the lantern you put on your belt.

The lantern doesn't reveal invisible enemies. The sentry torch does. He's talking about the evergoal puzzle that's annoying as fug with invisible assassins and asshole sniper archers that unlocks the portal to the haligtree.

      Adam Schefter: Panthers getting trade calls for Andy Dalton

      By strato · Posted

      To kick this up, The Athletic has a really comprehensive piece out where pretty much all QB questions are addressed. It is worth seeing.  https://www.nytimes.com/athletic/7083539/2026/03/04/starting-quarterback-projections-free-agency-draft/?source=user_shared_article I’m putting something specific here but it should have a thread or something. It is an extensive exercise.  This is a dense write up with a lot of column inches used, about the Jets and Murray and Reich, all this stuff.. then it goes to backup QB and there is Dalton.  I am pasting that part: As for Dalton, Reich is installing the offense he was trying to run in Carolina in 2023 before he got fired, and Dalton was with the Panthers then; he’s an ideal option as a veteran backup to replace Taylor. Reich said this about Dalton in 2023: “The way he's throwing the football, the way he works through progressions, the way he handles the operation. … Since day one (when) he walked in the door, I'm like, 'This guy is starter-worthy.' You guys know I've said that all along. He's, in my opinion, one of the best 32 quarterbacks in the world.” ——— That’s true love lol. I never heard any of this. Pretty crazy I think, considering how the year went.   Anyway the dream is not dead. .

      I’VE FOUND OUR WR3 (Rashid Shaheed)

      By Car123 · Posted

      The Seahawks traded for wide receiver/returner Rashid Shaheed at the trade deadline. He proved to be a key acquisition. Shaheed returned a punt and a kickoff for touchdowns in the regular season and had a 95-yard kickoff return in the postseason. Shaheed, though, is scheduled for free agency. So, the 12 games he played, including the postseason, might be the extent of his time in Seattle. Adam Schefter of ESPN reports that Shaheed and the Seahawks are not close to an extension, and the expectation is that the two-time Pro Bowler will hit free agency. Shaheed has 153 receptions for 2,243 yards and 12 touchdowns in his four-year career to go along with three punt return touchdowns and a kickoff return touchdown. He ranks 13th on PFT’s top-100 free agents. https://www.nbcsports.com/nfl/profootballtalk/rumor-mill/news/report-rashid-shaheed-appears-headed-to-free-agency
