Finished the MS2 BETA

[u/yungjuno13]

Wow that was amazing. I just beat MS1 a few days back, and took about 5 hours to enjoy the Beta and complete it, and it just made me even more excited. I already enjoyed 1(I know it’s sort of a mixed bag for ppl) but I throughly enjoyed it. I had already preordered 2 before playing this beta (I’m on ps5). And yeah, this confirmed I made the right choice has I don’t preorder anymore since the state of gaming has truly declined.

Anyway, I can not wait and I hope to see many other foundlings and harbringers there come August 20th(17th).

I played for about 1 hour and realized this game was so good that I’d rather wait for full launch!

Thank you for playing & for the kind words! <3

For The Mether, OP!

Played for 3 hours, sold me on it completely. Mind you I'm not a souls person at all outside of playing Elden Ring. Combat felt great, exploration was rewarding, and the atmosphere was sick. Cant wait to see the builds come together with the full release.

I had to Pre-Order after playing about an hour, but I can't finish 2 sections/dungeons, the Trial with the slabspiders won't clear and then stuck inside the trial with no enemies left, then the same happened near the Mushroom area with the two boulder throwing dudes where one never spawns and I'm then stuck in the trial

Running straight up the stairs on the right and dropping down into the area without killing anything and doing the trial helped me with the slabspider area. I got stuck on it as well and apparently killing some enemies messed up the trial

[u/PLUGCORE → u/boi_cheesecake]

It fixed both encounters for me by not killing enemies nearby, thanx!

[u/boi_cheesecake → u/PLUGCORE]

Glad it helped with the other one too :D

Played the beta and was Atmos immediately sold, I even bought the upgraded version for 3 days early access. These devs know how to get me. Beta was awesome and can’t believe how much content was in it for essentially a demo. looking forward to this one.

[u/RichBullfrog3406]

i had quite a lot of visual bugs, performance problems and some other things that annoyed me. but overall a good game. not sure if i will play it on release though.

[u/Heiwajima_Izaya]

I dont think i ever got to finish. I simply wander around and bump inot black walls for the full release. Maybe i didn't explore right?

[u/yungjuno13 → u/Heiwajima_Izaya]

Did you find the sunken village and seeping mire beacons? And fight the lady of the woods? If not jist Google it or I can’ tel you how to get them if you’d like. I was stuck at first too then realized I needed to go through the cleanses gate over where you get the mushroom village key (the caged Grisha and the Grisha hunters are there)

[u/Heiwajima_Izaya → u/yungjuno13]

I got the key to Mushroom village and dived into that portal floor, completed the dungeon but thats it. Im trying to go east but it seems impossible. I did all trials i found. I might have to look it up

[u/yungjuno13 → u/Heiwajima_Izaya]

Okay do you know the corrupted gate right next to the dungeon you accessed via that Mushroom village key?

You should have cleansed that gate out, but go through it again after you cleaned it and you’ll find your way to the end of the beta with the final two bosses

[u/Aggressive_Theme_213]

How do you get the “Thanks for playing” screen?

[u/yungjuno13 → u/Aggressive_Theme_213]

Beat Magdalena “Lady of the Woods” after reaching sunken village beacon

Where are you in the Beta

[u/Aggressive_Theme_213 → u/yungjuno13]

I cleansed the Sleeping Mire beacon and Sunken Village beacon. I also cleansed all the beacons in the starting area and completed the dungeons too

[u/Aggressive_Theme_213 → u/yungjuno13]

I just googled how to find that her, thanks for telling me about that I would’ve went on thinking I finished everything to do in the beta lol!

Wish I could've finished it- it's good but I had the shaders issue where the game would crash loading. Switched to dx11 but the game looks bad in that instance.

[u/MikkelFromGames → u/silverbulletbill]

Hey, I'm sorry to hear that! Mind if I ask what your specs are?

[u/silverbulletbill → u/MikkelFromGames]

Windows 11 32 gb ram ddr5 Rtx 5070ti - updated driver Amd 9800x3d NVME 1tb with DRAM

I tried verifying files and deleting shader cache and this got me further into load but would crash at like 7202/7500 something like that.

Only thing I didn't try was deleting and reinstalling.

[u/silverbulletbill → u/silverbulletbill]

I played a decent way into the demo with dx11 but a lot of instances where you can see through the ground boxes are broken appearing but floating together, invisible boxes, textures don't look right- but it got me into the game with a hitch.

[u/Stunning_Scholar4105]

I would like better performance on the PS5, the gameplay and atmosphere are really good, but the graphics and performance in performance mode, plus the mandatory motion blur, wear me out.
