BlackTorito Posted February 25, 2022 Share Posted February 25, 2022 I’d like to go for summons on this entry. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PainOfDemise Posted February 25, 2022 Share Posted February 25, 2022 I don't know what I'm doing. I went with the Confessor and just going with a hybrid build of some magic and sword and board. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hittheroadbucky Posted February 25, 2022 Share Posted February 25, 2022 This is my first souls game so I picked Vagabond because it seemed the tankless character, but now that I started playing I kind of wish I did astrologer or something so I’d have ranged magic to spam instead ?

I went with the Confessor and just going with a hybrid build of some magic and sword and board. I did exactly this. I'm 16 hours in, killed the first couple 'main' bosses. Been exploring dungeons and unlocking the map from there. Not sure how the build will work for the endgame... I've been levelling up intelligence, strength and health. The summons really help with the bosses. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Did you find anything valuable afterwards or was it just a little boost for the beginning of the game, like in Demon's Souls? I'm not sure if I should attempt this fight or just wait til I get there again or face him somewhere else at some point in the game. Was it worth it?

SlippingJimy Posted February 25, 2022 Share Posted February 25, 2022 (edited) Started s the prisoner class dex / int build and got him up to level 17. Have to say I am pretty happy with my choice with having access to range glint magic and estoc blade still to finish them off at close range, I am breezing through some of the mini bosses in the ruins first go without being hit once. I just run into boss room spawn the spirit dogs to distract the boss, and sit back and snipe using magic glint blade attacks, dodge and use estoc to finish it off once there health is low. I imagine doing a straight melee build would make the game alot harder. Bosses and mini bosses do hit very hard and can kill you in 1 or 2 hits. Seems a bit more brutal than dark souls 3, which is the only souls game Ive played. Edited February 25, 2022 by SlipingJimmy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Morphiar Posted February 25, 2022 Share Posted February 25, 2022 The bosses are absolutely brutal. The one I am at now is killing me in 1/2 hits and he's fast - feels really close to impossible. Sadly, I think I need to spend multiple hours levelling up somewhere before I can progress further. Beginning to think that my character build is a bit too all over the place! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Skurkitty Posted February 25, 2022 Share Posted February 25, 2022 Haven't gotten around to it yet, but it's installed. I'll be doing high dex, the faster the better. Magic is something I've never made use of in souls games so I'll likely mix that in as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OpenScars Posted February 25, 2022 Share Posted February 25, 2022 Why, oh why, did I start as a Wretch?! I'm getting pretty spanked. Level: 17 Vig: 14 Mind: 10 End: 13 Str: 12 Dex: 16 Int: 10 Fai: 10 Arc: 11 Scimitar + 2 and a shield.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Deluziion90 Posted February 26, 2022 Share Posted February 26, 2022 Lvl 26 - all points into strenght (30 atm) and started Vagabond. First "main" boss first try. Don't get scared when people say they get one shotted because that's bs. I got hits lots of time and didn't have any problems. I did get a weapon called Battle Hammer early on though (131+ 62) as 2hander. It melts everything so far. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You're talking about Godric the Golden, right? It's one of the main bosses. I was asking about the very first boss you encounter "Grafted Scion", right after crossing the bridge at the start of the game. Anyway, I found my answer already and yeah, the game doesn't reward you with anything special that would be worth killing that boss, so no point in going through that much trouble.

Kaijuu_Jayy Posted February 26, 2022 Share Posted February 26, 2022 Started as a Confessor, going to do a quality-faith build, leave myself the option to use a good chunk of magic and most weapons. Second play through I’ll likely be more specialized Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

willianmarques Posted February 27, 2022 Share Posted February 27, 2022 It's not exactly related to the topic, but I found a place where you can grab 74k runes without a fight. So if anyone needs money to grab a couple of levels, buy enchantments or weapons, here it is: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You'll find equipment and armor pretty soon After left the First area. You have to approach stealth the First soldiers with backstab, they drop pretty useful weapon and armor, u can find also a vendor at 2nd bonfire. Cheers, in the end went with Prophet and it was insanely fun. 14 hours in, game's a masterpiece. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zeep_Xanflorp92 Posted February 28, 2022 Share Posted February 28, 2022 (edited) Any key items you suggest my fellow Astrologer classes? im using Meteorite staff with green turtle talisman to help with cast speed. Glint stone pebble seems like the most dmg to FP cost ratio. Shame really. So many cool spells but cost way too much FP with little dmg to show. im level 69 with 33 INT so any advice to help my character would be so appreciated. I’ve found the ash summons extremely helpful as a mage. Keeps mobs and bosses off me and they concentrate on the summon. I use the Skeletal Militiamen Ashes, they get themselves back up if their bones aren’t destroyed ?

tranquility101 Posted February 28, 2022 Share Posted February 28, 2022 (edited) Started as Wretch. Been putting lots of points into STR/DEX. Main weapons are currently Pickaxe and Battle Hammer +3. Hoping to eventually use Colossal Weapons, I think Some points of course for HP and STA as well. Staying away from most spells but grabbed 12 INT so I can cast Magic on my right-hand weapon / weapon buff. Love this game so much. So glad to see another Souls released. Base PS4 Crew [EDIT: Also, I chose the two Gargoyle Keys at the start but kinda regret that since the areas you access with them are pretty rough for a starter person.] Edited February 28, 2022 by tranquility101 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ShinySpidey Posted March 1, 2022 Share Posted March 1, 2022 Started as Hero to build a full strength character, played 2 hours then realized it might be a painful choice ? New game as Astrologer and right now I'm level 40 or something with Vigor 16 Mind 23 Endurance 18 or something Strength 8 Dexterity 12 Intelligence 30 Faith 8 Arcane 9 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Greenshyguy Posted March 1, 2022 Share Posted March 1, 2022 Started as a Samurai, and have only played about 2-3 hours ... still stuck in the first area. Considering switching to a magic now haha. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cyphronite_ Posted March 1, 2022 Share Posted March 1, 2022 Vagabond with dual handed Lordsworn Greatsword +8 with bloody slash, occasional one handed when needing the horizontal slice. Battle hammer for backup. Attributes mostly on STR, END and VIG, level 42 now. Bloody Slash can save a lot of situations. While fighting the red wolf I got rid of shields completely, only use them very rarely now. May respec soon to optimize for STR + arcane and hope there are more “bloodmage” skills Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Oh and for anyone who went Astronomer, I found a magical katana that has C scaling in INT. Called moonveil. It’s damage still goes up when I pump stats into INT. Perfect for battle mages like me. Don’t sleep on this one mages 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
espjh2 Posted March 1, 2022 Share Posted March 1, 2022 I've always played the Souls games as a mage, so Astrologer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
