Still rolling through with my Astrologer. When I run into tougher bosses I switch to cheese mode. 90% HP flasks, 100% physical reduction shield, and then I just use Rogier's Rapier and spam the Phalanx spell.


I'm so good.

How is everyone building their character?
Mine is a battle mage. Points mainly in strengths and intellect. Sword and shield with magic enchantments. Mostly melee with magic range

Astrologer - heavy magic focus with a dash of poke stuff. Most of my points are going into Mind and Intelligence equally with just a splash of Faith so that I can heal myself when necessary. I pretty much run around glintstone pebbaling & phalanxing everything in my path haha. Using Rogier's and the Brass Shield with Knight set and Crimson Hood.

I absolutely hate Elden Ring. It's more of a PC game. I bought the ultimate version for 85 bucks and from the trailer it looked just like shadow of war. Game play is 180 degrees from what I'm used to. Even using the shield to block is a 50/50 chance your facing your opponent just right to actually even block the attack.
Character movement is weird and very laggy compared to something like COD or shadow of war.
And what makes it even worse, I have a digital xbox series S, so no returns/refund credit to the store.
Well I have wiped my ass with less but 85 bucks is insulting.

I'm open to any pointers you may have. But just based on how slow the combat movement is, idk if the game is for me. Shadow of War Middle earth is hard to beat in my book.
Anyways, hope you guys enjoy the game! Visually it is very stunning.

Try locking on your opponent when you block. You can also doge by pressing B or roll by pressing B twice in the direction you are moving. I play on PC with an Xbox controller. Is this your first Dark Souls game?

If you have trouble with an area, you can skip it and go somewhere else or use the spirits to help you. When you block or attack, lock on by pressing down on the right joy stick and lock on different targets by moving the right joy stick.

If you want faster combat movement, level up dexterity or find a weapon that’s based on dexterity like a katana or daggers. You can also run and attack by holding B and using your block or attack.

I also suggest new players play a Vagabound or Warrior. More armor. You’ll also want to spend a good amount of points on Vigor first. You can also summon someone using multiplayer if you need help clearing an area.

It is my first. And I so badly want to get the hang of it, I does look fun, but alot to take in with all the foraging needed.

The map is hard to figure out and there's no quests or direction of game play. I'm trying to collect everything I can running around. It won't let me craft anything yet.
