@Mega-Gazz Think I'm 50 hours in and about level 60ish. I've been pretty much doing the same but if I'm off somewhere like a tunnel or a boss and I've been a few K runes off of the next level I've just farmed that last bit so that I don't get annoyed at having taken a loss.
@nessisonett I'm on the lookout for another half a medallion and a northern land. I can't help but get distracted by their name though, I keep thinking they are the albuminurics and keep waiting for a nephrologist to turn up 😂
@Mega-Gazz I'm level 51 after 30 hrs, have went to stormhill shack twice to top up a level after being just short of runes to level up. Haven't really done any grinding though, for me I've enjoyed exploring more than any other game I can think of and just want to do that!
The crowd, accepting this immediately, assumed the anti-Eurasian posters and banners everywhere were the result of acts of sabotage by agents of Goldstein and ripped them from the walls.
@Mega-Gazz I'm level 58 and have played for 93 hours! Mostly exploring, only topping up my runes when I'm close to levelling up and about to face a boss or something.
Life is more fun when you help people succeed, instead of wishing them to fail.
Better to remain silent and be thought a fool than to speak and remove all doubt.
I have way to much to type because I haven't been sharing with you guys, my bad.
In short, I when't to hel- er I mean I when't to caelid, I ended up at the town of something I can't remember There I was getting sniped my wizards, over, and over, and over again, I ended up unlocking all the towers to open the spell gates, beat a mini boss there, ad headed back to a dude in a cabin. He asked me to find a gold needle in the swamp, to save this girl, and I was not going to lose her like I did the last one.
And oh boy, the boss the get it from, kicked my ass, over, and over, and over, again, I spent two days just roaming that place, getting stronger, and then I learned about bleed! The claws I got had some, so I try'd it on him, and dang did it do damage.
I had the strat, and I had the weapon, (Oh and BTW around this point I learned how to use two claws, and two had weapons, so I have slowly been getting better at not having to use a shield, still not sure if I will use the claws more just yet)
After a few hours of upgrading, and losing runes, I got to soul level 35+, ( I also found out how great runes worked, but never used a rune arc) I keep trying, I keep getting killed, till one run, I learned his pattern so well, that getting the bleed off was easy, I swapped to my clay more, and learned that he couldn't hit me, so I just cheated the rest of the fight, and I don't regret it(He was low anyway).
[spoiler]I got the needle and a bit later, he made me what I needed to say the girl, I did, I was proud of myself, good ending. (And I found a half man half wolf dude, and I should probably look up what to do next for his quest line)
And this whole time, I still need to get to the academy, I'm just having way to much fun roaming around!
And now learning armor doesn't really do to much, I was able to put on some lighter stuff, and a little bit of that Elden bling!
I know I rushed though writing this, but if I hadn't this would have been hours of me I would have to write, around 10 hours, and I know I didn't talk about the boss much, but its because anyone who has done the quest line will know who i'm talking about.
Anyway, if you took your time to read this really bad write out of my last two day in elden ring, thank you, and there was some stuff I glossed over, I glossed over a lot of stuff, but I will try to write out my single day of elden ring, as to avoid this happening, where I have like three two days of accounted playing.
This is probably going to go down as my game of the year, as I didn't have one last year TBH, but there is still a lot of time in the year LOL. And im not even close to beating this game I don't think.
Also, is it better I just go two handed on a weapon? Or are the claws good? but need to be in a good build to work? (Because I still don't have enough strength to whole my really big weapons,)
@velio84 Really? To think I was doing as well as I was, does armor really not change much? LOL. Pretty much did everything I wanted to do there, (For now) There is the dragon as well, but I will save that for later, oh and I have dragon magic now.
@Jimmer-jammer Thats one hardcore rule to put on your run. But it sounds like the lore you got was well worth it, I need to look out for it more, because as of now, im all turned around on its lore.
Lets hope we meet.
Nintendo are like woman, You love them for whats on the inside, not the outside…you know what I mean! Luzlane best girl!
(My friend code is SW-7322-1645-6323, please ask me before you use it)
@velio84 Just a heads up mate - I am not sure how many 'Larval Tears' exist in the game, or if these are finite resrouce, but I have somehow managed to organically come across 7-8 of these just through normal play and exploration.
I probably don't plan to respec that many times in NG, so more than happy to drop a couple if you committ to any builds that don't work out!
(NB I respecced from pure DEX - - > ARC/DEX, so I could use Eleanora Poleblade, which is absolutely shredding enemies after the update...! Looks cool as hell as well)
I'm level 92 and I've played 90 hours and I feel like it's getting endy. It's feeling climactic. But not like I'm at the last boss. I'm at near last bosses. I made progress and killed one that was giving me trouble. Now I'm at one where the fight is split into two like many of these are, and the first half is manageable but the second half I can get like one hit in and it kills me :') but I finally hit max rank on my weapon so I'm going to go back in and see if I can sort it out. Failing that I guess I'll wander off in another direction and see what else I can find!
@Jimmer-jammer You've done well if you've not been using fast travel, you must have found yourself in some interesting situations. With how fast this loads on PS5 I've just got used to fast travelling all over the place but I think if it took as long as say Witcher 3 on PS4 to load then I'd not have been so keen to use it. But then dying would also be a chore so I'd probably not be so experimental in combat or platforming 😆
@velio84 I've found the same problem, sunk loads of smithing stones into my two katanas that I now don't have many left for other upgrades. I guess they can be farmed though but it's wanting to spend the time doing that.
@CJD87 Sounds like that build is really working out for you. I've been sinking all my runes into INT for the Moonveil but have unlocked the ability to respec so might try something else out just for fun if I find another weapon I like the sound of.
@velio84@render
Yeh guys I have same issue, real supply-chain block with the old smithing stones...!
Good luck re-building though, interested to hear how you guys get on with new weaponry etc
@CJD87
Done the Radahn cave. Was really cool. Thank you I would have missed it. Good farming spot too.
That boss is the 3rd time I met it. In stone sword key area at the first grace of the game. Then in Stormveil Castle basement and now but this time with Scarlet rot was even stronger. (But so was I)😅

@JJ2 Decent man! I actually thought the boss was a breeze in that Radahn cave, but the lead-up enemies were brutal!! Let me know where you head next.... I'm currently re-speccing, re-grouping and levelling up a bit before taking on the Capitol
