@JohnnyShoulder Ah decent mate, and my build is quite similar. I've pumped DEX & Health/Vigor both to about 26/27ish, then thrown a bit into END to make sure those katanas keep swinging...
I wish I'd know more about incantation requirements earlier though, as I am about lv 42 now.... and it is taking increasingly longer to level up! I need to push my ARC to 10 and FAITH to 12 so I can start toying with Bloodflame Blade.
So you're on your way to Stormveil now? It is completely wild, and a real masterpiece of game design... you won't believe how huge it is!
Have you tackled Margit yet? (boss before you get to Stormveil)
@CJD87 Yeah same here with all the 'magic' stats, I'm a bit worried spreading my stats all over the place. Suppose there is no harm in levelling them up a bit though.
Ah no, I have ventured into Stormveil after defeating Margit, think I'm 3 or 4 Graces in. There was a banished Knight which was giving me problems. Think now I'm using bloody slash that shouldn't be the case anymore.
It's Castle Morne I was about to head into to. It's pretty cool, there is a siege going on with battles and stuff. Enemies aren't too bad but I did die to a pack of rats. Doh!
How about you, where have you got up to in the game?
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.
After thinking I was big and clever and Elden Ring was too easy for a badass like me, I've now started hitting some tough enemies. I struggled a bit with the twofer in the red castle - not too much but they killed me probably a dozen times which is more than any other encounter so far. Now I'm on the big one in the desert and I only tried it three or four times and it seems tough.
So I picked up the game. I’ve only played around 3 hours but I’m enjoying it. I was getting a bit frustrated as I had a ton of runes but no way to level up- so I definitely ended up in areas I really should not have been.
I did swap around the controls. Jump for me is triangle, interaction is X & dodge is is circle.
Lives, Lived, Will Live.
Dies, Died, Will Die.

@Fight_Teza_Fight i messed about with the healing controls and that helped me if your remapping things I mapped healing and magic flasks to a pouch shortcut, rather than have to cycle through equipment at the bottom and it's really useful for boss fights.
@johncalmc don't worry, I haven't had to look in the margins for difficulty! After making it through stormveil castle, Godrick wasted me. I can cake walk that first phase but that second one wipes me out! . I went to Castle Mourn to level up some more and will hopefully have another go tonight.
@JohnnyShoulder Yes I did Castle Mourne before Stormveil, and felt it did well to prepare me for the tougher enemies!
I've done Stormveil, beaten Godrick etc, and now focussing on my build and levelling up / exploring a bit. The next stages following the Stormveil castle are proving pretty rough for me, so I figure getting some better gear and upgrading weapons would help me.
Going to spend some time in the smaller dungeons also. I love how the formula allows you to take the game at your own pace, breaking off from Main Story if needed... just so good! Good luck with Stormveil, am sure Bloody Slash will see you through
@kyleforrester87 It’s the ‘Hmm, maybe I should investigate that cave’ which makes me laugh. Horizon is absolutely stuffed with pointless dialogue like that. Especially telling me to check my bloody inventory 😂
I didn’t realise, until now, that some shields do not have the parry ability, and have no ability at all. Which means you can use your sword ability without being two handed. Which is nice.
That site of grace at the Dragonbarrow Fork leading up to one of the minor erdtrees is an amazing place to grind souls. The tengu enemies that pop out of the ground and ambush you award more than 1000 exp each, and there's around 12 of the things on the path, so it doesn't take long at all to level up around where I'm at (level 68ish, I believe).
EDIT: Err, is the giant white dragon supposed to just lie still while you hack it to death? Because it did, and I got 70,000+ souls from it.
Got Frozen Armament spell yesterday - was surprised it didn’t add any damage at all. Anyone know if that’s a bug? Is itr useful realistically in other ways?
