Twat him off the tower instead!

Can't wait to hear @scottcr's feelings about the next area he's going to get to. MJpopcorn.gif

I finished this last night. Took me about 40 hours or so. I did everything except a certain optional boss in AotA. I tried him a few times but couldn't be arsed in the end. This is my third or fourth time through the game and I've done him before so I'm not bothered. As I mentioned in another post, if they had ported the achievements/trophies from the original game then I would probably have stuck with it and taken him down, just because, but I wasn't too fussed about leaving him. It's a brilliant game, obviously, but as others have suggested, for those who have been playing it, and it's sequels, since day 1, I think I'm about done with it now. I can honestly say that I enjoyed playing Hollow Knight over the summer a lot more than I did playing this, but then, in fairness, I didn't know HK like the back of my hand, so the sense of exploration and discovery definitely formed a big part of my enjoyment for it, and of course HK wouldn't exist in the first place if it wasn't for this game. For Sekiro, From really need to shake the format up a bit, which, to give them their due, it looks like they're doing. One thing I hope they change from DS is how the enemies just stand about, waiting to be attacked one-by-one, and don't move about at all unless you aggro them. From what I can remember, enemies behave in the same way more or less in DS 2 & 3 and BB as well. There needs to be a bit more dynamism to the AI. This is especially noticeable in some levels more than others, like the queue of Taurus and Capra minis in Demon Ruins who just stand about waiting to be drawn and killed one at a time. If, instead, when you come across them they're milling about doing demon-related stuff then it would be a lot more interesting. I can't be that bored of the formula, however, because I've got a hankering now to go back and play Bloodborne and DS3 again, as I've only completed both of those once. Can't play them in bed though! Everything should be ported to Switch.

Ganking dark wraiths in NL can GTFO, as can the Four Kings. That is all.

@Broker, I haven't talked to her, no, but I didn't remember doing it last time. It's been years though! Where is she?

Balls. There was still one left in the pit but for some reason when I spoke to him he thanked me and gave me the ring. Oh well. Just a few more places to go on this before I take out the big G, and then I'm done. It's a shame they didn't port the achievements from the 360/PC version as that would have been incentive enough for me to play another run through immediately after finishing my first.

If you get the Speckled Ring from.

Inside because of the weirdness. Dark Souls because of the lore. The Witness because of the hidden lectures, but also because I couldn't stop seeing the connect-the-dot puzzles bloody everywhere for about a month after completing it. And a slightly left-field one, but Machinarium has always struck a chord with me for some reason, mostly because of the art-style, perhaps. Out on Switch this week so may have to triple-dip.

Didn't know you were into furries.

You need 25 faith before you get anything from the Sun Bro covenant, and I don't think you get anything from Solaire directly. If you're not levelling faith at all then the Sun Bro covenant is a waste of your time as far as the rewards go, as they're all faith-related. You can still join it if you want to engage in jolly cooperation, however. Some NPCs, like Solaire, are side quest NPCs who pop up later in the game in various locations, so it's worth talking to them every time you see them in order to advance their quest line, and eventually get the end of quest reward.

Just completed PWoA. What an utterly fantastic piece of design that is. Surely one of the best levels in any game ever.

I've never really played Diablo. Are the dungeons randomly generated? How come people end up playing it for hundreds of hours?
