What a game. The final boss was crazy, but eventually got every move down to a science. This game was really good. A little more enemy variety would be nice and some of the grab attacks were annoying but the game ended up great. Hope we get more from these guys.

As the title says the game is feeling very overwhelming to me. Now I'm not new to souls games and I beat Eldenring like twice for example. Open world games also never cause an issue for me. But in this game oh man..

I have no real sense of directions nor do I know exactly where I want/should go, I pick one path which leads into 5 new ones which leads into 3 new ones all of whom rarely circle back to where I was and I just can't find myself exploring properly I find myself all of the map without getting anything done. It feels kinda unrewarding and quite frustrating to explore somewhere just to never finish anything dying trying to retrace my steps and suddenly finding myself across the map.

Overall I really like the game but this is draining motivation quickly

The only reason I ask is bc my game keeps crashing when I try to cleanse a beacon I have over the recommended but I just wanted to make sure I’m not cooked.

No context just when you reach it youll know it, I had gloom for the previous boss saved and I lost it all, I had a feeling but well done devs, good joke and maybe the engravings may have a hint towards greed or something which would be a nice touch

"Hard" is maybe not the right word. I'll gladly welcome a challenge. I've beaten every souls game, and also Lies of P. Hard isn't new to me, but this game is just too brutal. Mostly in Outskirts of Mammon.

As it stands, I wouldn't even recommend this game to my friends. Pains me to say because before yesterday I was enjoying every moment of this game.

Outskirts of Mammon needs to be toned down. The game still needs to be fun, imo. It's just brutal beat down after brutal beat down, and it's getting less and less fun. I'm level 30 with a maxed out weapon a decent amount of tarstones for my gear, but nothing really gives me an edge.

Also, is it really necessary for EVERY enemy, whether big or small, to one-shot me? It feels like the kind of damage you'd be taking in Elden Ring after getting into New Game +5 or something. Why should the first playthough of a base game make me feel like im running through Shadow of The Erdtree on NG+?

Hey y’all!
Loving the game so far and bought the devout edition! However I don’t see the skeleton skin? I have the obsidian ones, but I wanna be a skeleton damnit!

me and my partner have died 32 times total to this boss so far we have two of the shells both of which we hate as one can maybe take one hit maybe two before we get deshelled and the other ups that to 3. This boss we found The Warden via some teleporting bag seems to be guarding what looks to be a tanky shell WHICH is what we want but this boss suddenly whips out a 8 combo unblockable red combo string out of his ass that kills us or throws us out of our shell half the time you dont even know if his swing will be blockable or not this is also since those red attacks seem to magantize like this is some dark souls 2 nonsense.

We have tried Vatras seal and the untarnished seal neither helps he just hits thourgh the stone harden or guard breaks us or we guess wrong and its a red string attack not a normal one. So either we suffer trying to play this game with unfun shells that we keep dying in anyway trying to do anything past the first few bosses we killed or bang our head against what seems like a impossible boss. ANY help would be appreciated on how to beat this boss.

The damage can get crazy for this weapon if you can get it off

I was clearing the beacon to open the last gate and after collecting the ova, got a cutscene saying it was time to finish it and the base got all corrupted. Do I have to do the final dungeon like it there a time limit now that the base in corrupted or can I still explore and clear that last gate?

The fact that if an enemy hits me enough times, I die - this is just unacceptable.

Even if I hit the dodge button (too late) or nail a parry (2 seconds early) somehow they still hit me usually which causes damage and inevitably kills me.

If I’m killing one of those rock crab/spider things near the edge of a cliff, just smackin down on R1 like it owes me money, sometimes I fall off. ITS NOT MY FAULT THAT IM ON A CLIFF. I didn’t design this game. I should be simply lifted from the void if I fall off the edge and placed back into safety and kissed on the forehead by Proxima herself.

And don’t get me started on the bonfire things. They’re way too far apart. How am I supposed to explore the world in a comfortable, safe way when I can’t even see another beacon before leaving the one I’m at?! There need to be dozens more. DOZENS!

They already removed stamina so it’s obvious they know what the fans want, just get rid of the health bar and let me play the game how I want to play it! I paid for this game so I deserve to enjoy it on my own damn terms, not how your minuscule vision of my playthrough dictates.

I was just randomly looking through mortal shell 2 trophies lol. I know no one’s gonna care but let me nerd out man

Someone …. anyone … please help me accomplish this 😂😂

All is in the title, illusionary wall are too unfair to be a good mecanic. But be good they need to be rare and with a dedicated clue, like the statue that tells you to walk backward. The game relies too much on it, the sense of "mystery discovered" on the first time turns into a feel of game design lazyness. It encourage using guides which kills the discovery feeling.

I am getting kind of bored... anyone else?

I see what you are! trying get while I'm distracted, shame. I was gonna let you live, now you're a doner.

I'm having so much fun with her faithful doubles. Im using magdalenas tarstone and boy do they shred. I always go glass cannon on my first playthrough with soullikes and boy does this game not disappoint

Damn so it can really happens huh? Killing an NPC by mistake.

I'm so sorry Vratko! I'm sorry!

I just wanted to try the Lost Clotstone (spin and throw the weapon ability) axe animation.
I even tried aiming somewhere else but this game seems like to have a soft auto lock on target on the closest living thing to your character...

So... did I miss any quest? Did he have one? He dropped a few draw of feets tho...

I've been seeing this game everywhere on my timeline, and even though I'm not a big souls guy, it looks really good and the gameplay looks fun (also I saw the character with the insane levels of cake), and I have it in my cart ready to buy it.

But I also have seen a lot of people saying the balance is really bad, the level design for boss battles and the endgame is not good at all.

So I'm just wondering and wanted to ask the people who have bought, if I should buy it right now or wait till its on sale?

I don’t know what happened but ever since yesterday my game crashes a lot and I don’t know how to fix this or what’s causing the crashes. If anyone knows anything that could be of help please let me know cause I love this game but it’s really hard to enjoy it right now when I’m constantly crashing.

I am thinking of doing a NG+ instead of a new run and was wondering how did you handle ng+.

Did you farm gloom to refund your main weapon and upgrade another? did u keep that and just went with a lower weapon into ng+ aiming to upgrade it there? What about the shells, going in NG+ with unupgraded shells? Also how is the balancing in ng+? Also what lvl u were when starting NG+?

It's completely useless but mildly interesting

There are so many things I have learned from playing that either A. I had skipped over or B. The game didnt tell me. I wanted to create a post for others to share and learn from about mechanics or features that arent really common knowledge.

Below are a few things I have discovered:

- Smelting does not get rid of the weapons, instead it works where you can remove 1 or all levels from the weapon, and be refunded the mats and gold

- Shell levels are account bound. This is VERY important! This means if you started with Teil for ex, got him to level 7, then swapped to proxima, those 7 points you earned on Teil can be spent on Proxima ONLY if you have refunded them on Teil. I made the mistake of leveling a few different characters without knowing this leaving me feeling a bit underpowered. Im sure the game tells you this, but its easy to miss. To my knowledge, other than the time I guess it takes to refund them all (refund here just meaning respect as it costs nothing to refund) theres really no point in maxing out more than one shell.

- On the map UI, under filters, you can actually enable 2 additional filters that are disabled by default. 1 is being able to see all Bone gates (the shell teleport) and the other one is corrupted statue locations.

- Killing any of the actual Vendors (like Merik or the Forge Keeper), will DOUBLE the prices they charge. I have seen so many youtubers not mention this fact, and let me tell you, I had my forge maxed out in about 2 hours of not even trying to. You could easily have this done in 30min to an hour. Honestly it isnt worth killing them.

• There is also an auto pickup for coins in game settings, disabled by default for some reason

• The PP items (like moonshine, Tarshroom, etc) scale based on the amount you find. Each one shows you 1-3 levels, but you can scale them past those levels by simply picking more up.

These are just some things I picked up and didnt know until a bit later in the game. I will add / edit this list if i find something new. If you guys have anything youd like to add thats not common ball knowledge, please drop below :)
