I think I used the D NPC summon (think you have to have progressed his questline a bit) and then just stance broke them with quick attacks allowing for criticals. Iirc they don't use magic so weren't too difficult. Not sure if I have the summon available. You can however apparently lure them to edge and get them to back step and jump to their deaths.

Wainy316 Posted April 13, 2022 Share Posted April 13, 2022 Yep got one of the buggers to jump and found the summon which helped whittle down the other one. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah I had one that leapt to their death then it was a 2 on 1 fight with my summon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Designer1 Posted April 13, 2022 VT Supporter Share Posted April 13, 2022 One thing I will say to anyone who is on their first playthrough is I would recommend taking a look at the trophy list. Even if you haven't any interest in trophy hunting it's worth taking a look at some of the guides because they will lead you to discover many areas and bosses that you would otherwise miss. Bit of food for thought to get more content bang for your buck. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chindie Posted April 13, 2022 Author VT Supporter Share Posted April 13, 2022 My tip would be to avoid heading for Margit for as long as possible. Clear out as much of the first area as you can, scour it clean. You may even discover that Margit isn't that important. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dubbs Posted May 2, 2022 Share Posted May 2, 2022 (edited) I just got to a bit where I had to take on 3 invaders after I spoke to a giant jug in Caelid. Not sure if these were real players or just versions of their characters but f### me they were solid. Took at least 6 attempts to do it because you have to beat all 3 without dying. You could almost guaranteed at least one was going to spam a heavy incantation and end up 2 shoting me! Did it in the end though.

Designer1 Posted May 2, 2022 VT Supporter Share Posted May 2, 2022 I'm enjoying my NG+ run on my second character. I'm around lvl 260 on a Faith Dex build and its a lot of fun Still occasionally finding new bits and bobs which after 400+ hours is pretty impressive. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
picicata Posted May 7, 2022 Share Posted May 7, 2022 Still in my first play through about 55 hours deep. Enjoying it but my limited time due to 'life' means it might be next year before I finish it! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dubbs Posted May 7, 2022 Share Posted May 7, 2022 I know I don't have to kill this guy but there's this bearing hunter near a shack in Caelid which just obliterates me in 3 hits. I don't have to kill him but now I want to lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What's adding to the frustration is the fact you have to rest at the grace, advance time to night, stand up, rest again then do the fight. It takes longer to do that than it does to die Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jonesy7211 Posted May 15, 2022 Share Posted May 15, 2022 My wife has just given me this for my birthday. Any tips for a new starter? I've stayed away from all the spoilers as I thought I'd be picking this up at some point. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dubbs Posted May 15, 2022 Share Posted May 15, 2022 Have you played and Souls games before? There are certain aspects of those which should be familiar to you in this. Also if ever you are struggling with anything you can come back to it. It's not one of those where you have to try and try again until you win the battle. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My advice would be to go in as blind as possible, and just have fun exploring. (And don't kill any npcs ) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Never played the souls games, the last open world games I've played are AC, Skyrim, and GTA V. Were the souls games this hard? I've jumped into Elden Ring and died. A lot.
