Wordle 266 5/6* ⬛⬛🟨⬛⬛ ⬛🟩⬛⬛🟨 🟩🟩⬛⬛⬛ 🟩🟩🟨🟨🟩 🟩🟩🟩🟩🟩 Made hard work of that today.

Double post.

I was levelled a bit higher than you (40-ish I think) for the Academy boss and I got a summoner to help. I'm sure it's possible at lower levels but I hadn't put anything into VIT at that point so was struggling on my own. The very personification of a glass cannon.

I had similar issues early on with a standard 'glass cannon' mage. All my early levels were pumped into INT to get damage up and I ended up carrying mostly FP flasks. Later on it gets a bit easier when you have your damage up and can afford to put some levels into MND - that will mean you can cast more before refuelling. It also helps when you upgrade your flask with more charges. The purple balls of doom can be found relatively early on but the laser beams are further down the road from where you are now.

Wordle 265 5/6* ⬛⬛⬛⬛🟨 🟨⬛🟨⬛⬛ ⬛🟩🟩🟩🟩 ⬛🟩🟩🟩🟩 🟩🟩🟩🟩🟩 Streak (60) intact but had me sweating.

It feels like all I have done over the last week is work and play Elden Ring; it has completely overwhelmed me (in a good way!). 3 of the main bosses are down, and I'm just about ready to move on - north of the lakes is my next destination. I have absolutely no idea what I'll find there. What a game!

Wordle 262 5/6* 🟩🟨⬛⬛⬛ 🟩⬛⬛⬛🟩 🟩⬛🟩⬛🟩 🟩🟩🟩⬛🟩 🟩🟩🟩🟩🟩 Tricksy.

Wordle 260 2/6* 🟩🟨⬛🟨⬛ 🟩🟩🟩🟩🟩 Yes! Starting word set me up very nicely.

So Second big boss is down but I haven't fully explored the lakes area yet. I still feel like I'm only just starting out, even though I'm 30 hours in and level 50. Onwards.

Wordle 259 5/6* ⬛⬛🟨⬛🟨 🟨⬛⬛⬛🟩 ⬛🟩🟩⬛🟩 ⬛🟩🟩⬛🟩 🟩🟩🟩🟩🟩 Got there in the end.

Wordle 258 4/6* ⬛⬛🟨⬛⬛ ⬛🟨⬛⬛🟨 ⬛⬛🟩🟩⬛ 🟩🟩🟩🟩🟩 Took a few minutes even with so many letters eliminated.

I have a feeling we're all still scratching at the surface of this game, it's already clearly a masterpiece. The secrets yet to find, the road yet to travel. I've rinsed Limgrave and the Weeping Peninsula, dipped my toes into Caelid (some very nice gear there thank you very much), stormed Stormveil Castle and currently banging my head against the next legacy dungeon boss. I have been playing computer games for a very, very long time and this really is as good as it gets.

Wordle 256 3/6* ⬛⬛⬛🟨🟨 🟨⬛🟨🟨⬛ 🟩🟩🟩🟩🟩 Bullet dodged.

Wordle 255 5/6* ⬛⬛⬛⬛🟩 ⬛⬛⬛⬛🟩 ⬛🟨⬛⬛🟩 🟩🟨⬛🟨🟩 🟩🟩🟩🟩🟩 50 streak up today!

Wordle 254 3/6* ⬛⬛⬛⬛⬛ 🟩⬛🟩⬛🟩 🟩🟩🟩🟩🟩 Straightforward one today.

I have an order in with Amazon Japan. 21,000 yen for the machine and 14,000 yen for the trackball/spinner. Something like £135 for the machine and £90 for the trackball/spinner?

Wordle 253 4/6* ⬛🟨⬛🟩⬛ ⬛⬛⬛🟩🟩 ⬛⬛🟩🟩🟩 🟩🟩🟩🟩🟩 Thought it was going to be one of 'those' days but all good in the end.

Playing on PC - no glitches, crashes or frame drops, all good for me so far. 10 hours in and, oh my, this is something special. That wonderful feeling of delving into an unknown world with uncertainty and peril at every corner. I am making slow progress and loving every minute of it!

Wordle 252 3/6* ⬛⬛⬛⬛⬛ 🟩🟩⬛🟨🟩 🟩🟩🟩🟩🟩 2nd guess did all the heavy lifting.

Thank you! This has been driving me nuts too! The real souls starts here etc.

Wordle 251 5/6* ⬛⬛⬛⬛⬛ ⬛⬛⬛⬛⬛ 🟨⬛🟨⬛⬛ ⬛🟩⬛🟩🟩 🟩🟩🟩🟩🟩 Nasty.
