60 hours in
Level 130
Game finally clicked for me.
Played the game “wrong” for a ton of hours.
Resulted in me being over leveled for most boss fights.
Absolutely wrecked Radahn to the point that I was confused how anyone was having any trouble with him at all.
Leveled up his sword and absolutely mopped the floor with both of Mohgs encounters (the one in the sewer and the actual boss fight that gets you into the dlc) , Gold Godfrey, and Morgot. Sword was knocking CHUNKS of health off of them.
I’m in the snow mountains now working towards doing a volcano manor mission.
I still have very little grasp of the intricacies of the items and the game mechanics. It’s a good thing and a bad thing.
What I’m enjoying most about the game is experimenting with weapons and armor sets and seeing what works for each enemy. I focused only on stat numbers for the longest before understanding how crucial weapon and armor types really are in terms of their effectiveness for each situation.
