I wish whoever did the demon souls remake would have a go at original bloodborne 

Just give me a PC version of the original with unlocked resolution and framerate.  Bluepoint's work on Demon's was fabulous, but it looked a bit off, somehow, in the same way the Shadow of the Colossus remake looked AMAZING, but something just irked me slightly about it.

Man I thought it looked like the dog’s bollocks. It even had facial animations!

I’m lost. I feel like I have wandered and explored 4 different games given the volume, diversity and sheer beauty of the environments. I’ve went down 2 separate wells. Ascended the universes biggest elevator. Climbed Elden Rings version of Mount Doom. Joined Eldens Rings version of the Assassins Guild. Ran away from at least 12 bosses that looked like they could kill me with a gentle sneeze and now feel I need a little direction and purpose to my exploits. I’m currently trying to get into the Capital and whilst I’m not sure if it’s still too early for me to be doing that, have no idea where else I should be going.

 

Someone tell me where to go and who to kill if I shouldn’t be heading into the Capital yet.

I think it should probably be this order

 

  Hide contents

Caelid, then underground, then mount doom, then coming back and finishing the city, then finishing the volcano quest 

 


Yeah, the red letter of that quest sticking a marker on a place that was almost off the side of my TV made me think I should leave it for now :) too Caelid then.

Caelid was the first place I ventured to after getting to Stormveil. I couldn’t beat the first boss so went for a wander…. And rode through that place like the ground was falling away behind me. I’m not overly excited about going back but at least now I might be able to face some of the horrendous enemies it has in store.

You’ll be ok now. There’s plenty to do there and the boss is great.

 

By the way, have you done all of the weeping peninsula? Castle Morne, etc. I missed it at first, but o ventured down there around the time I was poking around Caelid. Another great area with plenty to do.

I think I did that fairly early on. It’s boss is a bit of a prick. Like a werewolf or something? I think I missed loads of the actual castle as every time I went round a corner I got twitchy about where my next shrine would be, haha.

So I finally killed this guy. Maybe they did make him easier with the patch. And then Melina is like: Are you sure you are ready to proceed? the fuck you talking about luv?  I guess I am sure since I’ve been trying to get here for the last hour.

Grats on defeating Fire Giant. There's a difficult Torrent skip that allows you to bypass him at a low success rate (one of those "right speed right distance right height right timing" cases). But it works as I could not be bothered with the prick once.

He is not hard at all I don’t think. But he summons a secret boss which is very hard.

 

Spoiler

The dark souls camera

I think they had the right idea. They just need a better camera is all. Maybe for it to pull back further with big enemies. Or to have all the boss tells happen more clearly through sound or some sort of colour code on his toe nails. 😀
 

Edit: target lock is also particularly broken on this fight for whatever reason. More so than elsewhere in the game. Even with dragons.

Yep.

The camera is a nightmare for those big bosses, yes. One of those moments where just having an FOV option to pull the view back a bit would be nice.


I  just end up trying to find a safe spot between the legs (oo-er) where his moves are a bit more predictable. But even then he’ll move away so you have to deal with the ranged attacks as you get back to safety.

I have no idea who this Fire Giant is but he sounds like Elden Rings version of Demon of Hatred. Where all the powers and skills you have built and perfected are worthless and any issue the game may have (camera of course) are dragged to the fore for you to enjoy in all their glory.

Went to Caelid. Got to Redmane Castle. Met Radahn. Hated every second of it. 

Did you find Fort Gael? One of the best Incantation Buffs is found in that area as well as one of the best Dragon Incantations can be unlocked nearby. And also one of the best Ashes of War!

 

Spoiler

Flame, Grant Me Strength and Ekzykes's Decay Incantations. Flame of the Redmanes can stagger pretty much anything even bosses in 1-2 hits

My intelligence, faith and arcane are all at rock bottom numbers so I don’t think I could even light a match if I tried.


The whole game does seem very heavily weighted toward magic and casting things so my sword and shield focussed warrior has suitcases full of shit he can’t use.

Flame of the Redmanes is pretty much OP. Dare I say it, it's probably the best Ash in the game outside of the Blood ones. Scales with strength and weapon level
