Keep exploring and find some good weapons. Upgrade the weapons too. The starting armor for most classes is pretty weak and you basically get one shot by some of the early bosses. But once you upgrade a few things here n there..come back and it will be easier. Also don't take too many risks with runes. Level up every chance you get because there is so much more danger/risk carrying them around while exploring as enemies farther out are brutal.
That makes sense, I can imagine it's a very different experience without hundreds of hours of Soulslikes under your belt. That said, I'd still suggest considering summoning some help, particularly for bosses. Despite the hemming and hawwing of some people in the Souls community, IMHO co-op is a huge part of the fun and obviously part of how From wants theses games to be played.
You mean to summon stuff? I can summon wolves but not sure how it works, sometimes I can and sometimes I'm out of charges it seems.
It's convoluted, classical From. You can summon
Sorry, bad jokeIs this a joke or a legit comment
All good lol. In other news, I tried to take down the tree sentinel and I clearly am too weak for itSorry, bad joke
I quickly checked and no one seemed to have mentioned the 'try finger, but hole' thing.
the Steam thread was full of those jokes, no worrySorry, bad joke

The Katana's unsheathe ability is really strong + it has the blood loss status attached it. Give it a try.
I was also wondering that for a while, and to some extent still am, but my current working theory is that this is just a result of the game getting much bigger. So if they have a similar selection of equipment, finding new stuff will be spaced further apart. I actually don't mind if that's the case, it was a bit silly how in some of the Souls game some full set of armor or a new weapon would be around every 4 corners. Fun, but also a bit silly.
Yep agreed. After about 3 more hours play today i am discovering more areas and gear. It does feel much bigger and so makes sense to spread thing out.
I'll give that a try, I found one in a dungeon. Do you 2-hand Katanas or dual wield them?
You can 1 or 2-hand them. But you need to 2-hand if you plan on using unsheathe. I'm cycling through both 2-hand attacks & shield + uchigatana depending on what enemy I'm facing. If you want a dual wield weapon that scales off DEX and is somewhat fast, then youll find one in the first castle.
Yep, very strong. During Godrick's "ahhh time to chop off my arm" animation phase, he's invulnerable to damage, but you can still continue to build up bleed on him and if you manage to pop it right before the cutscene, he'll take damage.
The pets you can summon are trash at fighting but they also have other uses...
The bolded isn't an absolute truth. Your left arm weapon skill takes precedence over your right arm weapon skill but if the left one doesn't have a skill you can use your weapon art one-handed, and there's a 100% shield with no skill very early on.
You mean the first giant that jumps down and chase you? Try to hit their ankles so you can make them fall.This is me fighting the giant.
Yeah that’s the one and yeah been trying to cut his knees, well didn’t know that was the point but it is pretty much the only place I reach haha
Well I was mistaken. My previous recommendation was writen thinking the giant you were talking about was the 1st big boss. Keep that in mind for later but in this case the solution is much more simple:
