    The undead crypt is one of the areas I usually die a lot. If you destroy those vertical coffin-looking things, the reapers stop spawning, but if a bell rings before you've taken out a couple of them you'll get swarmed. The coffins stay dead, so I usually just focus them all down and then the...

    I THINK you're referring to what I said in the last paragraph - you can only have 4 spells equipped in this game, while in the previous game you could have 6 (I was remembering it as 8 - guess it was only 6). This holds true across all classes. I think other classes had more limited numbers of...

    Microtransactions can't help this problem. You can't buy the teleport item (ferrystone). If you could, I honestly would think they'd balanced the game around annoying you into MTX. But, they didn't. They balanced the game around wasting your time! I'm getting INCREDIBLY annoyed at the rampant...

    Elden ring!

    I got my character up to Haligtree and Horah Loux on my playthrough. One of the few things I feel good about is that I have gotten good at unlocking the Haligtree and killing fire giant on my first try, I don't think I've died to either more than once since my first playthrough of 6 or 7. Then...

    Shrine of Amana is notorious among melee-only people for being one of the hardest areas ever. As a big bow user, I always find it really easy if you just hang back and snipe all the casters. Definitely don't try rushing through or you'll get spammed with bolts while melee guys chunk you. There's...

    The point of that area is it's one of those big, climactic gauntlets. Having a bonfire outside of the castle would run counter to what it was trying to do. It's like in Elden Ring where you have to go ALL the way down that huge crater and through a bunch of ruins before you get to a grace. It...

    FYI the boss in doors of pharros is one of the hardest in the game, because of the BS pull to start the fight. If you can AOE down the adds instantly then it's merely a janky version of Sif, but if you don't kill all the adds before they get you with toxic, you're screwed. I usually save it for...

    What game are you playing?

    I don't think you need a lockstone to get to the boss in the doors of pharros, I think the stuff you need keys for is pretty much just some weapons. There are two 3-part doors where you only need to open the center panel to get in, and then there's like one other one that has something useful...

    Played a few hours of Dragon's Dogma 2. I'm not acclimated to this game yet. First impressions are that it feels about like what I remember of the first - but when I don't yet have any idea what I'm supposed to be doing or where I'm supposed to be going or where good gear is, and with that...

    I think that bizarrely you start getting titanite slabs in that game before you have enough titanite chunks to get anything to +9. You can clear out the dwarf guys in the doors of pharos to get them occasionally, otherwise they eventually are sold by the ore vendor girl once you've progressed...

    Well, for almost all games, they're already only allowed if you buy the "mods enabled" hardware for an extra 1000 bucks over the cost of a console. :p Bethesda's already charged on console for fan-created mods for Skyrim, IIRC

    Mace is starting gear for some class, or the blacksmith in majula sells it. I'd highly recommend getting one and upgrading it ASAP. It's very, very good against all armored enemies in the game. Iron Keep especially with it is like night and day easier. Same with some nasty stone enemies that...

    What game are you playing?

    Yeah, ugh. I paid for that mainly for the extra dungeon cause I loved the game and wanted more content. Definitely not worth it for most until it's on sale. That's one of the few DLC purchases I've ever made that I shouldn't have. Not that I didn't like playing through the game again and doing...

    It's goddam ridiculous. I wish Capcom would realize forcing these things into the games always causes the idiot review bombing brigade to show up in force and maybe just STOP PUTTING THEM IN for games like this where I can't imagine they'll really sell any. Keep selling all your stupid fighting...

    What game are you playing?

    The turtle guys are a big part of why I usually use the mace as my primary weapon for the early game. Strike damage works wonders against them, you can usually chunk them down in a few hits. They're super frustrating with most other weapons, especially cause of how if you try and backstab them...

    What area are you even talking about? Are you still in Iron Keep? There's a secret entrance to another bell covenant area (which does not have a boss) in that big room with the moving platforms that have knights/turtles on them. Then if you just go through that room and out the door to the...

    IMO (and my opinion doesn't sound like it's shared by that many, based on the commentary I've seen recently) Dragon's Dogma didn't become fun until you hit the DLC area where it's basically just boss rush all the time and you can get way, WAY better gear than you can in the base game. I utterly...

    Nah, the last bonfire is like, to the right of the final batch of poison pools. The back corner, in that area where you get invaded by the "woodland child" NPCs. It's dark so it's easy to miss the statue, and the bonfire is then in the cave. But, no falls required, and the runback to the rotten...

    I'll probably wait a bit for reactions from hardcore Nioh fans once they start getting into the endgame. I'm going to buy Dragon's Dogma 2 immediately though. FF7 Rebirth can wait for a sale.

    Get a spear or something with long range and just smash all the poison statues. You can also shoot the tar pools with fire arrows which makes the monsters that hide in them burn up before they can attack you. I always go slowly through that area. Also, did you find the bonfire that's much closer...
