You can respec. And lots of ways to be badass. You can follow game advice in game or just get word of mouth tips. Or bang your head into random shit. All work
yea it's kind of hard to get a story tangent. the 'ranni the witch' questline series gives a great set of clues and items with descriptions about the lore. highly reccomend if you're not above peeking at the wiki.
i'm not sure if he was the first elden lord (married to marika) or her first kid. in any case i think the other god-dudes descend from him. or all the boys get named in that way.
yea what cyrusreij said
Its because those are three family lines. Renellas children are ranni renna and...uh. some other. Merikas bloodline has Melania etc. Godwyn the golden all he way down to sad God Rick.

can helper buddies put status on bosses? a friend is s tuck on the starscourge and i thought i'd lay down the rot and end it for him but i am not sure it's working chaotic fight to tell if it's working or not heh
man is any ultra heavy armor not completely retarded looking? i found the horned tragoth and the fat man armor so far. can't i look like a crucible knight or something :(
is there a reason not to do the volcano manor quests? the intro dialogue from the lady makes it sound like a big 'ol war. feel kinda bad hunting folks, but i dunno if the targets are assholes, or if it changes any other storylines or anything.
hah yea. i've been using the golden greatshield more lately but i used the gilded greatshield forever. i have the dragonclaw and erdtree shield just for gimicky resists.
it's kind of a cop out i guess. since they don't take you 'to' the plateu. but you can take the iron maiden express to the volcano. or the gargoyle coffin to get up in that general direction. i don't know for certain that those ways fully connect and they for damn sure arn't easy. but i...
are you running out of stamina during that block sequence? like does each spine hit your shield. your stamina runs out and your dude wheels his arms and staggers back?

a lot of you 'always taking damage' is because some attacks aren't purely physical...
i do it. everyone else in the world uses controller and loves it. I did a little remapping. you have to change a menu option to make it display hotkey tips for things in real people language instead of calling everything R2 etc.
yea i bet they'll make a second story arc that you can start at level 1 and then do one or the other. along with new classes so you can enjoy getting those to cap. it's how guildwars 1 did it. three expansions. all 'started' at level 1. and the content got you to cap like...halfway through...
When I am stuck on a boss and I have other shit I can do ill just mark a skull icon on my map and head off. Some xp and gear and getting gud can be had elsewhere. Its kind of what makes er feel better than like sekero where you can only push so far before gitgud
I kind of recognize which heroes are good with which weapons and which weapons rack up body count vs which are good for punching a hole in a wall of monsters. finding the mix is the trick.
