I must say that I ended up getting medallion way before I knew what it was for, and even first than the other half because when I got teleported to Sellia Crystal Tunnel at level 16, I decided to stay in Calid until I got most of the area explored.
Imagine them nerfing the other walls in the next patch to make them like this one.
My friend was completely in love with the game since launch and taking his time, started disliking his time with it after the Capital, today he messaged me he finished and uninstalled the game and said it was heartbreaking how much he hated the last part. Didn't expect this from him but I can somewhat understand, I'm still playing it but those areas left a sour taste that never really went away.
Maybe one day he will come around on it

Likely but this is a From game and they always loved trolling,wouldn't put past them
I've been thinking about that too. There's been a few points where I walked up and smacked a wall that absolutely looked like it would be perfect for an illusory wall, and now I'm wondering if any of those might have also functioned like this, lol
If you're cool with digital, buying it on the PS5 store should included both the PS4 and PS5 versions.
But I think if you buy the physical PS4 version, you should also be able to freely download and play the PS5 version (as long as the disc is in).
Final boss weapon is awesome but yeah... You get it so late lol
I wrote about that when I went on and on about her in my post and I think right now I'm ok with it since I complained that Sekiro didn't really work in shinobi tools into fights to make that part of the combat system more relevant so I'd feel like a hypocrite swinging back the other way immediately even if the two cases aren't equivalent. Also I agree and wouldn't mind if it was changed since it's quite a bit more strict of an ask from players than any other attack in the game.
I test parry on all bosses just so I know but ever since Champ in DS3 I've stopped parrying bosses entirely. I robbed myself of an experience on that fight as Champ's moveset was, and still is, one of the best I had ever seen. Fromsoft only makes a game every handful of years, and while a ton of the bosses are thematically fantastic and mechanically sound, we will get 1 or at best 2 mechanically outstanding ones per game. It's hard to make an amazing boss moveset and I screwed myself out of enjoying one.
With that video in particular my complaint was more that it's labeled no ash, but barricade shield is an ash. Got excited that someone might have figured out something that no one else has yet.
Is there any trick to traversing large bodies of rot indoors? I've been putting off visiting a lot of caves and tombs the moment I see anything larger than a puddle of rot, but now I find the biggest, dankest poison swamp ever and I need to go through it.
It's a shame. I actually adore the *design* of Ephael but that set up towards the end that's just 1 Putrid Avatar, 2 proper Halig knights, 3 archers is just all sorts of stupid. The same "just throw enemies at the player" design of Ringed City that I fucking loathe.
if its outside use horse
if its in a cave i just make some scarlet rot balls that make the rot go away
scarlet rot is like poison, so it doesnt kill you right away, so pop a ball when you reach a safe, dry spot
Godskin duo. Why.
I ran right past that shit.
Bloodhound step weapon ash makes this stuff easy.

Make some rot cures.
Sprint to bits of environment sticking out of rot.
Stand on them cure, heal.
Repeat.
Or... look for the mechanic in that area that lets you do something else...
having some trouble not getting overwhelmed right now lmao
60 hours in and first stepped foot into altus plateau today. dont feel like im anywhere close to done

I also don't like how in the second phase the flurry and one other of her air attacks has a really similar start animation, makes reading harder, but that's a me problem
I actually did this to practice my sl1 run, You get so crazy OP on a base run I barely knew any of the boss moves.
I mean I'm joking, lobos inspired many of my runs in these games in his earlier days. I went off him after watching him play nioh tho…
But yeah still bloodhound is more technical. Shield strategy is literally just hold L1, bloodhound you have to time it correctly. To early you get caught, too late you get caught by the next attack.
Ive used both strategies for no damage runs - bloodhound for level1, shield for ng+.
I'm mainly not happy you have to use one of these at all.
And parrying w/ buckler shields is super easy. I'm not a fan of sekiro for the same reason, I think these games shine because positioning is so valuable - parrying strips that away. The extent of sekiro' s positioning is "move away from isshin after deflecting, so he thrust attack"
Yeah I used summons on both, and the sorcerer would have been a nightmare as the spells are so slow, but on this playthrough I'm going to go without for as long as I can.
Ephael is gorgeous but yeah the design is really all over the place, in all of the endgame really tbh, they ditched exploration and decided to clutter all areas with ton of enemies.
Trying to finesse a clean (almost no hit) late-mid game open world boss fight and the closest one I get, my stupid ass falls off a cliff when it has less than 20% left and I curse loud enough to scare my dog, I'm putting myself in time out for a couple hours.
My plan for next time is to go set down a bunch of rainbow stones near the ledge so if I see them I know to go the other way.

So I have to beat that boss again... on NG+
:(
Finished up the snow area. I can see why people are not excited about this. The zone felt a bit like an afterthought. Overly linear, with no real new ideas to mix things up. And while I'm overall fine with repeating enemies and bosses, some of them just get a groan out of me at this point.

I still think Cipher Pata is underrated for full faith. Fast attack speed, decent reach for a fist weapon, 0 weight, and I only recently learned that the weapon art is a fucking monster. I had ignored it because it apparently had the same effect as standard attacks (all attacks for the the Cipher Pata are unblockable) and does close to 1k damage a pop.
I still need a secondary weapon, but I only appreciate it more as time goes on.
Let me guess it's Moonveil isn't itfinally found a magic scaling named katana
i could've been more specific and said 'magic scaling named katana that i got in a tunnel next to a pot guy dropped from a boss that was pretty easy because i probably overleveled before finally fighting them'
Felt like it after the patch but nope, still sub 60fps pretty much everywhere, even inside a catacomb with nothing taxing going on.
Only really playing it for a 2nd platinum, otherwise I'd have stayed with the PS4 version.
That part you don't have to go that way, there's an alternative path to go around them
Bro I'm not hating. I enjoyed my time with until I switched to the SoNaF
I feel like they should have had Fire Giant in Consecrated Snowfield vs the more linear section. I actually like snowfield but yeah both areas were pretty lacking compared to the other regions.
Nope lol. One of the reasons I started a ng+ immediately after finishing it, I wanted all those dead characters back :/
Me and I absolutely melted Malenia with constant Corpse Piler pincer attacks. I don't think the boss had a chance to get a hit in. The mobs in the Mountaintop though, now those are the real bosses.
Even after supposedly fixing this, part of her quest is still bugged. I gave her the ash from the beginning area and have just got to Seluvis. I'm trying to give her the potion because the game won't let me progress her quest further for some reason and I want her as a summon, but there's no prompt to give it to her. So even after a 'fix', she won't move from the Roundtable Hold and I also can't progress her part of Seluvis' quest. Seriously...
I wish I had respecd my character by the Time I did her today, could have saved me 4h using Rivers of Blood and stuff like that haha, maybe someday
They probably just meant no customisable ash, I think that's just a weapon skiill technically.
Sekiro ain't no rpg though, it should have used everything better cause it's a one build game. I think they were too afraid to go harder tbh. It bothers me Elden ring cause respec ain't free, and this fight has very few solutions in a game boasting insane variety.
Like it Just felt like solving a KH data battle, w/o even having the solution in my characters kits.
By the end of the game in my first char I had 8 ancient stones (for +25) and 5 somber ancient stones (for +10) so sorta-kinda?
After beating the game I can tell you I never once bothered to kill a rune bear or one of those giant rock squids. Just not worth it man.
