Just found the worst fight ever (if you have wrong weapon). Story time:

So I'm messing around underground (Deeproot Depths). Come across Crucible Knight Siluria. Whooped his ass first try. Feeling beastly :demonic:. Decide to go find this sorcerer that's in Caelid. Find the hideaway, go through it, get all my loot. At the boss room. Multiple messages saying 'try strike'. fukk a strike. I don't need no strike :camby:. Go in with dual katanas (been messing with Blood Nagakiba with Bloodhound Step in RH, Rivers of Blood in LH).

Boss? 3 of them Crystalians :gucci:. And they proc Rot :aicmon:. My Katanas? Yeah, I might as well have been trying to kick them to death. They do shyt :damn:. I have one strike weapon on me, and it's unleveled Hoslow's Whip :to:. I threw myself in there trying to figure something out, and nothing's working. (I actually used Mimic Ashe :flabbynsick: to pull aggro to see if I could kill one with only backstabs. Not happening) :martin:.

I exit stage left :whoa:. Go to Roundtable. Check my storehouse for a strike weapon. Morning Star :patrice:. Took 10 minutes to get runes, buy stones and level it as much as I could (+18). Go back. Oh, you bytches wanna play, let's play :birdman:. Walked in there and decimated them first try :leon:.


Moral of the story: fukk From for putting them dumb ass enemies in the game, then making you fight them with a specific weapon type :pacspit:.
First time I fought one I had a hammer on me ironically so I was already ready for em...i took em to hammerland...thanks for giving me the heads up now I'm gonna have to level it up since I stopped using it for a while

Found the goat rune farming spot. I knew about it from a YouTube video, but it said you couldn’t get there until you could ride the lift and I’m still at the beginning of the academy (fukk those Burger King book tossing hippie clerics).

Was wandering around the lake tho and found rose church + the preppy dude in the white mask (the first person you meet in the game). after a quest he gave me a charm and told me not to use it yet. used that shyt anyway and was immediately running for my life from overpowered enemies everywhere.

Didn’t even realize where I was until I stumbled onto the cliff overlooking the big ass chicken.

level 90 faith-based mage/melee confessor build now. I got lightning spears and scythe strikes for any demi who wants em. :demonic:

To me this is part of the game. You gotta do a bit of research and experimenting to get by. You figure out a way to cheese the game good for you, cause it damn sure throws some unfair shyt at you.
Once I got that comet azur and comet for these later bosses shyt really comes in handy now. I got the moonviel and azur staff maxed out as well.

What armor should I upgrade to for samurai. Still wearing the starting game armor


Armor is mostly cosmetic unless you’re going from robes to full heavy armor. Weight and poise do play a part and they have varying degrees of resistances so some armor pieces might be better in certain situations but for the most part, it’s up to you. You can ride out the default armor set all the way to the end if you wanted to

I finally cleared this game last night

over 100 hours and ended at 129 or something

I beat every boss I ran into but apparently still missed like 2 or 3 , I did beat that silly ho with rot though :wow:

10/10 and in my opinion the greatest game of all time, replacing the original last of us for me :blessed:

Does it have N+?

:lupe: Might cop this Friday. I never played these type of games. I am stuck in my infinite loop of the same 3 games for the last few years.
