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.

    • Yeah and I am doubtful he can offer that consistently. I don’t have many years left at my age and in my view we have wasted two and this whole exercise with him was always a three year minimum.  I am out on that with a guy I don’t believe in, and never believed in, it has sucked. To me it is a costly detour off the right track. Years.    But I am not so rigid that I can’t see excellence. He needs to display it though, consistently before I change my outlook.  
    • No, when I said rage, I meant rage, which only applies to certain fans on this board. Your timeline of trying to assess whether he is the future or not is really tied to the discussions surrounding his second contract. If this team is going to commit to some monster contract while he has shown nothing but glimpses of brilliance would be deservedly worrisome, so the clock is genuinely ticking for him to settle into something resembling his final form. Perhaps a best case scenario is that he plays well, the team succeeds, but he does so with a more limited role that makes the rest of the league view him as a game manager, and his second contract value reflects that. Then he continues to improve and becomes a bargain comparatively while not handicapping the team around him, and we enter an era of consistent championship competitiveness that the fanbase has craved for decades and has never really experienced before. But that requires many, many things to go right and for Bryce himself to facilitate that if he ends up being the quarterback of the future.
    • Exactly. And the flame throwers as well, get location benefits from not going all out. But they have it in reserve.  Not sure how much Greg had but he was an artist.  There was a YouTube I came across last year or maybe even 2023 and I don’t how to even find now but it had two NFL QBs I want say one was Carr from the Raiders but I don’t really remember  The point of it is they stood side by side throwing identical distances to identical targets. Radar gun was used.  They threw the normal effort (not all out) and it was measured etc. Then they were asked to throw their ‘fastball’. They were missing and most often they were missing high. It demonstrated the same principle.    edit: and applying that to arm strength, give me the guy that doesn’t need max effort to have good velocity. The margins are so narrow with less velocity in tne NFL the defenders can Close on it and this is a league where they value down to the 100th of a second level. It is that tight
