@R1spam I have no idea how useful it is as I haven’t used it, but I found a staff in Sellia, Town of Sorcery, within Caelid.

There is a chest in Limgrave located down a staircase found in some ruins within the marsh where the big dragon swoops in. Opening this chest transported me to a cave in Caelid. Make a B-line out of the shack, to the right and down. There is a point of grace down here. Exit the cave into a rotting swamp area, and towards the town. There is another point of grace at the bottom of the large staircase leading into the town. Use Torrent to explore the rooftops and branches here and you will find the Staff of Loss on a corpse.

I haven’t found anyone to buy sorceries from yet. If you have, would care to share? 😄

Edit: also, I believe it scales with Dexterity.

@Gremio108 My experience is largely similar! Margit wrecked me, no joke took about 30-40 tries. But I've been exploring, levelling, upgrading weapons etc... now at a comfortable lv 27.

Just took down Godrick, main boss of Stormveil, and remarkably managed this on first attempt (drafted in NPC summon as well as my own Jellyfish). The game is definitely heating up, and Stormveil was an amazing experience. I'll likely return for another run through as felt I missed loads!

@R1spam Good luck with the build man! I'm sticking with 'basic' DEX and focussing on levelling up the Uchi to scale more with DEX stat, and also focussing on the LongBow upgrade path. Managed to nab a 2nd Uchi also, and looking to dual-wield once I increase my END enough to mitigate fat rolling from carrying both at once...

@danlk1ng Are you hitting L3? That’s the main ‘off Torrent’ button I use.

@nessisonett yeah I think I must have been - that seems to do trick. I'm clearly just being a bit too vigorous with my movements

@Jimmer-jammer absolutely!! it's at a place called the waypoint ruins, North of the bloodhound knight in south limgrave. There's house with loads of crazy poisonous plants and a dungeon underneath. One you beat the dungeon boss, she's in a room in the back. happy hunting and cheers for the tip! I just realised I went to the place you describe by mistake and got my ***** rocked and left sharpish! Looks like I've got to back 😂

@R1spam thanks!! Yeah, you’ll have to pretty much run past all of the enemies in the cave and swamp but it’s totally doable, even at a low level. Within the town itself, the enemies here require an aggressive approach, but don’t have particularly high defences. They only reveal themselves when you get close, and some are casters, so I had to run right at them with confidence and attack, unloading my stamina bar, usually staggering them. I’m still trying to work out exactly how stagger works in this game, but it seems to build even on regular, unblocked attacks.

@Jimmer-jammer Not sure how accurate this, but this feels about right in regards to staggering enemies...

After successfully guarding against an enemy's attack, you can quickly press the heavy attack button to deliver a massive blow to their health and invisible stagger bar.

@Gremio108 That is well weird as all my spirit summons have been working as intended for me. Oh well, glad they are working for you now! I have a handful of them now all on my quick item bar.

Also well done on beating Margit! I similarly beat him earlier after a handful of attempts. I did have the NPC summon with me but did not use any spirit summons as wanted to save my FP for my Unsheath skill.

I ventured further into the castle and it wasn't too bad, apart from a couple of big boys. Will probs go back to Limgrave and do the Kenneth side quest and a few more bits and bobs.

Which spirit summons are worth levelling? I opened the ability to buff them but not sure which is worth investing in. The dogs cost too much FP and get pwned by AOE, the s Nobel sorcerer hits for nothing….

@Mega-Gazz Jellyfish is brilliant. Still haven’t found where to upgrade the summons though!

@JohnnyShoulder interesting! Taking a page out of Sekiro’s book, then.

@nessisonett It is! I also like the undead ones as the come back to life if not killed properly!

@Jimmer-jammer Indeed! It's all about breaking enemies stance. It is actually detailed in the game menu, under 'inventory' then press L1 to go to 'info' and about the 4th one down, depending on how many notes/paintings you have got.

@nessisonett I got the jellyfish but never tried it. It does poison or something?

Mega-Gazz

nessisonett

@Mega-Gazz I think it’s poison but the main reason it’s good is the fact it has weirdly high health and damage!

@CJD87 @JohnnyShoulder Haha, good to know I'm not the only one who made hard work of the opening hours!

As for spirit summons, I found a spirit summon for two soldiers which I've now started using. Only thing is, I can't remember where I found it...

Good job, Parappa. You can go on to the next stage now.

Good lord, that Fringefolk Hero's Grave dungeon is annoying. Also the only time I've seen goblins in this game so far, which I obviously exterminated with extreme prejudice.

Untitled

@JohnnyShoulder Yeah, it's the same approximate button on an Xbox controller.

A lot of items have helpful descriptions, but, from memory, I recall this one not being particularly help.

@velio84 Level 18, I think. I'd already practiced horseback combat with one of the Night Sentinels, so the Tree Sentinel wasn't too awful. I jumped off my horse and spammed Unsheathe to finish him off.

@Kairu It set the tone right away when you drop down, and BAM poison floor.

The dungeon is actually on the right track, since I'd love to see more unique gimmicks/light puzzle solving elements in these areas. But something other than insta-kill rolling contraptions that follow you around, please.

Actually just got a new summon from the Siofra river area. 63 FP though. Will have to test.

@velio84 I'm about level 25 and not beaten the Tree Sentinel yet, but I've not tried for a couple of days.
