I'm thankful that 2k22 came out. Was able to detox my anger from losing 10k runes the last time I played.

Second Elden Lord down!
Raya Lucaria area and bosses MUCH easier than Stormveil and their bosses.

I was thinking the non-poison swamp around Raya Lucaria and didn’t remember a non-dragon boss there. He’s easily cheesable with range. He gets stuck between the summon and respawn statues and perpetually walks in place. Just have to finish him before his axe ghosts get to you. 😂

Basically as an int build you have to not be a magic build.

Bloody Slash ended her. Around 5/6 hits. Lots of diving and dodging magic between strikes.

I killed a werewolf in a cave and, weirdly enough, it was that particular encounter that finally helped the game click with me. Going into a cave just for the sake of exploring and killing a boss at the end made me realize: this game isn't meant to be played like Dark Souls where roadblock bosses mean the end of your playthrough unless you power through and/or cheese them. It's Skyrim with Dark Souls' combat system and atmosphere - the focus is on exploration and discovery, not just "gitting gud." I'll still probably hit a million roadblocks but I'm vibing much more with the game now.

Finally was able to take down Radahn. The Royal Capital of Leyndell awaits. Question; do you actually fight him or let the summons do it all and just avoid his death arrows?

I've seen people just run around until he gets involved with the summons then use the Dragon Rot breath on him and he just goes down with little effort. If they try and fight him straight up they get squished. I'm gonna try that for sure.

Nah, I was actually in the fight for the majority of the battle. The summons did help to distract him while I got in hits. He's weak to bleed damage.

Still a tough fight, but you can at least take a hit.

FINALLY THE B**** RENNALA IS DOWN!
Sorry for yelling, but I've been cursing her out for the past couple of days. I had a tiny sliver of health left. Basically as an int build, you got to be an anti-mage for this fight. Move flasks except one or two to health. Make sure your weapon has the bloody ashens of war and summon your wolves as soon as you move to the second phase. Basically keep on her ass slashing until she does that enchant on the ground. Step back from the summons as it will eventually wear off.
Now here I did my gravity rocks to keep her staggered. It's a tough go because if you get too far you have to dodge that laser beam she throws.
F*** hell.

The Academy can kiss my ass so far. Magic missile spammers plus undead leeches are annoying as hell so far.

That jobber who turns into a Runebear in Limgrave if you kill him might be the most pants-soiling moment in any Souls game.

Of course, someone has beaten the game in 37 minutes

Either I’m going to all the wrong areas, or the game ramps up it’s difficulty spectacularly after Raya Lucaria. There’s no way the golden castle around the tree is next, those enemies are OP … am I really supposed to be ready for Radahn now? That doesn’t seem right.
Or maybe I should remember there is a giant underground area I’ve barely touched.
(Don’t answer my thoughts I want to figure it out myself)
