So am I after dying the first 5 mins of playing.


I know your supposed to die but still

Lol.

They put a mini boss (Tree Sentinel) right at the beginning of the open world to teach you to explore and level up before taking on strong foes. Go out and explore the world.

you can train and get good... its like skyrim with no training wheels... you get magic powers and shyt but you gotta put in the work...

That feeling when you buss a boss head open who has been pushing your shyt in for the past hour.

Pre-patch Radahn worked me though.

I knew I was gon die but I somehow hyped myself up that I had a chance. I hid in the bushes til he got close, popped out, and got eem’ with my sword one good time. He beat the DOG shyt out of my character, so badly and quickly, that it looked like his horse was doing donuts on my body smh.

Make a mage breh. The first boss cooked me as melee so bad I remade my boy into a mage and beat the 1st 4 bosses with ease.

Download this to make the game great

Don’t be afraid to fail and learn from your mistakes. The game is difficult and very punishing, but it's still "fair" if that makes sense. Once you understand how to approach certain encounters and make the most of your weapon/Ashes of War, it's a lot less intimidating. You still have to be on point at all times, but you won't be shook to turn every corner in a cave Eventually you can abuse the game the same way it abuses you




If you're stuck on a boss just explore other areas until you get your weight up, then come back

You likely encountered the boss before you were ready and were underleveled. explore the southern part of limgrave first then go back. I probably had at least 8-10 hours played before I attempted to fight Margit. Margit is a good skill check because he'll force you learn attack patterns, how to dodge projectiles, no spam roll, etc. He'll seem impossible if your fundamentals aren't solid but once you understand how to play the game, he's really not too bad at all...you'll face much much worse along your journey

yeah reason why I never bought it, I hate games that frustrate me I just want to go and have fun

 

[Thatrogueassdiaz]

That's how I am right now with General Radahn. He's cooked me so many times that now I don't even want to play the game

 

[Gizmo_Duck]

Miyazaki got nikkas SHOOK

What class is most of you all starting with? I started with the Samurai and I am not feeling it too tough. Might start over with something else.
