Reading that this game is kinda short, I will probably start this game after finishing Final Fantasy XII (Thank god for the 4X speed forward.)
Oh, they went the Dark Souls route.
Seems like a weird choice weird for a standalone mode though.
Probably because everyone can grab it for free off any platform without needing to own the base game. It's only free for 5 days, seems reasonable
I dont understand how some things work in this game...awful tutorial....do I have to go back to where I died or something...how do I level up,I have to identify a Shell to level up something at that Lady ?...I keep dying after about 20 minutes...3 hits and I am dead,frogs out of nowhere poison me,damn traps everywhere lol....should I quit now or does it get easier...?
I hate to be a big noobish imposition but I wanted to ask about how to really get started in this game.
For reference, I have played, loved, and excelled at every Soulsborne game. I'm no stranger to mystery and trial and error.
Something about this game just feels a little too vague initially. Like I have ZERO idea of where to go. I don't know if I'm supposed to be cashing in whatever my orange bar is. (Souls-like?) Or if I should be sad I lost anything when I die?
I don't know how to learn my shell's name so I don't know how to unlock that skills board thing.
I just need a good push in the right direction as I do like what I am playing.
Thanks!
Thank you! I appreciate it. I think everything being kind of samey just makes interpreting insights a bit of a challenge. (So far). I have spoken to Sestra. I can get her to show me a skill tree thing? But I need to discover my name. Perhaps I will go in search of that tower. (Unless where she is *IS* the tower.)
my most used attack is a small run and jump with the heavy attack,back up and repeat lol...besides that awful timing to block or Harden,I am enjoy this,probably wont be able to finish it if I dont get use to hardening but so far so good...
It's not immediately obvious and I searched like an idiot for the "name" myself, but you can unlock the shell name the moment you meet her. Just go in the menu and HOLD X (or Square? There's a button you need to hold) for a few seconds to "unlock" the name, then you can spend your XP on the skills.Thank you! I appreciate it.

The gland/chest thing is only after beating dungeon bosses, not Hadern which is a separate thing that lets you unlock weapons (so he's technically optional).i'm a bit confused, I just beat Hadern in a boss fight and there is no fog or additional enemy placements and I am unable to open the frog chests. I thought I read when you beat a boss you got a gland but I don't see any in my possession did I miss something when the worm fish took me away?
Ohhhhhhh my bad. Ok so hadern should have unlocked a weapon? How do I find?The gland/chest thing is only after beating dungeon bosses, not Hadern which is a separate thing that lets you unlock weapons (so he's technically optional).
It should be on some altar near the book you found that triggered the fight, I think?Ohhhhhhh my bad. Ok so hadern should have unlocked a weapon? How do I find?
So is there no way to teleport back to the Lady besides the last one you saved at...? I am at the one before a Boss that I cant beat but I have some items to level up the Mace but no Anvil where she is...also what sucks is the Items you use during the fight are gone after you die and revive at the Lady save...so now I am out of healing stuff and the like.
I need to go all the way out or the start of the dungeon to raise the Mace ?...I think I am done with this game,I lasted longer then I thought anyway lol.

There is an item you can purchase which allows you to fast travel, but you need to max out all of the abilities of a shell first. I wish I had known about this earlier as I had been using a maxed out Tiel shell for a while and backtracking like crazy, but oh well.
This one had a number of flaws (long healing animations, terrible enemy pop in), but it's the only Souls knockoff so far that managed to keep my attention enough that I was able to stick with it and finish. I will more than likely buy the Virtuous Cycle DLC just to try out the new shell and weapon.
Yes,got that fast travel mask to any Sestra(sp?),thanks for the tip,upgraded the Mace but I am still not use to it compared to the Hallowed Sword because I cant do the run and jump heavy attack with that one...that Boss in the Ice area is a real pain,still cant beat him but this fast travel will help me get back to him with a few extra buffs and lots of hesaling...might try doing it with Tiel also,he has a lot of stamina but low health...mmm.
