Rykard. He’s a bit of a gimmick fight which is too bad because he looks cool. Would love to know about the giant serpent.

I killed her ass and her stupid bodyguard too after she was caressing Rykard.

She wasn't caressing Rykard, she was eating him.

This game has been sucking up most of my free time. I have one achievement left for a plat.
Great game, its much more novice friendly than the rest of the series. Its tough, but nowhere near seikiro level.

I finally broke down and got the game on Friday. 12 hours later... I 100% agree! I don't get the reviews and impressions I've read about it being the hardest Souls game yet. Maybe it's that there's just so much to do that you don't care if you can't kill something after a few tries? I'm having a great time with it - much more than I thought I would. The art direction alone is worth a look. Some really stunning environments.

The first playthough is very rough, and a lot of the armor doesn't do much, the talismans is really what help you survive. Having the jump button is weird, having to retrain the muscle memory, but overall its a great game. The visual's are amazing though, and there is a lot to keep you coming back. I think im like 150 hours in?

I finished the game after 177 hours of exploring.
It's Dark Souls II-2. Take that as you will.

Got to the Halig Tree today after work. I gotta say so far, the most worthless shitty 'level' in the game has to be the Consecrated snowfield and that dumbass town that is like a carbon copy of Sellia. Odinia or whatever where you have to go into a gaol and light 4 fires, but Black Knives are around there. Sure, you can use the sentry torch, but then you have no way of blocking those fuckers.
Lots of trial and error and just running away from everyone in my own Black Knife get up and I unlocked that seal.
Fuck the consecrated snowfield. The Great Worm Theodorix was more fun that that ass town.

Is that Melania, or whatever? The gal that turns into a flower? I've heard some stuff about her.
I finished Ranni's quest and got the Holy Moonlight Sword, but need to build up my int before I can use it.
RE: Snowfield - I found that cave at the bottom left of the map that has another Astel. I haven't been able to beat that one yet, even tho I took down Astel to get to Ranni.
One of my biggest gripes about the area (other than the town) is that damn blizzard. I want to explore. I see that little lamp post with the ghost that leads you to a cave, or that statue thats hunched over and I just want to go FIND the shit, but I keep getting attacked by giants from Bloodborne, or another random Radaan Dog that can kill you quickly. Damn son just let me explore and SEE whats attacking me so I can fight it, or run away. And are there seriously only like 4 graces in the whole area?

You're probably going to want to avoid greatswords (and slower) for Malenia fight. Like with Sister Friede, you're going to want to inflict stagger and bleed when you can, and run away when she winds up for big attacks or combos.

You guys gotta stop judging Tanith for devouring that giant serpent. It's a beautiful thing and you should leave her alone like I would have done if I didn't have to catch all the crucible incantations.

NGL, whenever I am done with ER (probably won't be for a long time, can't remember the last time I stuck to a game so hard) I have been inspired to try Dark Souls II next.

If there's one thing I've discovered it's that people who have too specific of an extreme opinion one way or another for one of the Souls games (ie. DS1 is god, DS2 is worst game evar, DS3 is shit, ER is shit, etc.) are certified autists. Warning ignored. I'm sure it's plenty of fun.

Some parts are gank city (usually dlc) but there are a lot of viable good meta PVE builds. Especially when you throw power stancing into the mix.ADP sucks as a stat for roll invincibility but I like the fact lower equip weight means faster stamina regen (not just at 70%, 50% etc) and more granular.
Also has best theme for town
