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) Thats been the standout part for me. You get some small idea of where to go next from NPCs, but aside from that, you pretty much have to make your own judgment calls, both for exploration and for battles.

The Finger Queen told me to go to the golden castle. But I’m getting wrecked! So I’m clearing underground’s now, pretty easily. I did manage to take out the {Spoiler} Dual Buffed Tree Sentinels at the gate by dividing and conquering with movement and distanced horse magic. They were still KO’ing me with 1 hit on most attacks, two if I was lucky.

Minor spoiler for the Radahn fight, but supposedly {Spoiler}{Spoiler}If you summon Patches, he will take one look at what he's up against and promptly unsummon himself. Which is about the most Patches thing he could do.

Two underground trophy bosses down with no problem. Guess it’s time to get good at the golden palace. Or fight Radahn until the spawns take him out. 😂

Took me two hours but finally felled Loretta. Had to leave and level up a bit more and got Elenora's twinblade and leveled it up to +5. Definitely made a difference.

Found a Wakizashi in a cave in Caelid (Gaol Cave). Not only does it fit with the Samurai class, it can also be power-stanced with a katana.

Yo, fxxx the {Spoiler} Draconic Tree Sentinel though. I cannot do anything to avoid his red lightning and it’s an auto one-shot.

I finally beat Margit.
Today I became a man.

Wow, to me Radahn was much easier than Rennala.
Like his arrows are annoying as hell, but the key is rotten breath. Keep the summons revived and up. Stay the hell away fom him once you apply rotten breath. Do this and you will eventually win.

Do this and you will eventually win. It does seem a bit strange to me that one of his weaknesses is Scarlet Rot, considering how you’d think he’d be resistant or even immune to it

I think I've said out loud "Wait, there's a whole-ass other city over there?" about ten times already.

I’m a little over 100 hours in, and I think 2 of those hours have been spent exploring past the Grand Lift of Dectus. As much as I love this game, this is so not good for my OCD.

That jobber who turns into a Runebear in Limgrave if you kill him might be the most pants-soiling moment in any Souls game. I assume you haven't encountered the opera singing batlady.

BTW, if you are rocking a Faith/Strength oriented build, kill the Limgrave Tree Sentinel asswipe for the Golden Halberd. This thing rocks. C-scaling on strength + Holy damage built-in.

Finding myself getting really discouraged with this game.... I have never been more angry at a game, but I think I understand speedrunners who do soulsbourne games and those super tough Kaizo Mario games now. Death is a part of the experience. The best advice I can give is google "Elden Ring rune farms" and or Elden Ring builds. Farm runes and raise those levels. Yes, some bosses like Radahn can still one shot you, but you are better prepared for what's coming.

I want to cry. I saved and quit out, then the title screen says that I should pick 'quit out' next time to exit the game. I'm like, 'but that's what I just did.'
Long story short, I somehow went from 47 hours in the game to 39 hours, meaning something like FOUR bosses defeated and all kinds of upgrades and weapons are just GONE.
I have to do all that shit all over again!
