This game...
I had my first "I love you Miyazaki, you troll" in the very first 5 minutes of starting the game. Minor first area spoilers:
First time I actually died was for the uchigatana guy. Annoying prick.

Tutorial area, there's a message on the floor that says "Turn Back". Of course I don't. I go forth and find dozens of blood pudles on the floor, and a menacing ice beast lurking around. This was my "This is Dark Souls, alright" moment.

In the next main area there are some big enemies that drop it, one standing by itself right by the second bonfire in the area that you can farm easily.

Anyone having issues with leveling up at the (what's spoiler tagged is first hour stuff...)
.
I try and level up and it automatically exits the level up screen. I'm playing on PC if that means anything
Edit: never mind it ended up working itself out. Odd :/

Oh no, Ive got it. I just played half an hour. But from reading this thread it feels like people have been playing the steam version for a long time.
On a side note, I seem to be unaffected by the crashes. Guess Im lucky?
cool...thanks...that's good to know...the Greatsword was my STR weapon of choice in DS2 and the Black Knight GreatAxe and Zweihander in DS1
I got the Broadsword and I think some spears and Halberds but none of them are better then the normal Battle Axe as far as damage output
Thanks I'll continue to the next area and do this then.
He fell off the cliff edge trying to charge attack me lol
That ice shard dude was a crystal lizard. They evolved from small and quick.

Just did it, patience is definitely key! Loved the design too.

Is there a bow early game? Im at
and yet to find one.
undead settlement
That is a thing that happens, typically when killing "hard"-type enemies.
Doesn't scale with STR, tho.
You'll be pretty far into the game before the scaling compensates for the raw damage buff. It's pretty good. Axes are dope.
No, it doesn'tDoesn't scale with STR, tho.
But you can infuse the shit out of it. Make it Str scale or just go Raw for max damage.super-famicom

I found a longbow really early on at High Wall.
If it's like the other games, then when someone kindles a bonfire in your area then you get a flask. I dunno if it works like that in this one or not.

Thanks I'll go back and look
I'm in the same area and i have a bow. Can't remember where i got it though.
There's a longbow in an outdoor part of the high wall that was kind of close to a bonfire. I remember there were people worshiping a statue. I was glad I found it too because I used it to banish a certain obstacle in the area (brought back some memories from DS1).

There is one on the high wall if you look around, more details below.
Turn around at the first bonfire and go past the elevator shortcut.
At least I think that's where I found mine...
Just finished the high wall of Lothric and is it just me or is the beginning of the game a lot more difficult that Dark Souls 1/2 and Bloodborne's first area ?
The enemies have crazy, intelligent movesets, can take a lot of damage and give very low amount of souls: 300 souls for the huge, spinning knight, 220 for the Lothric knights and 3000 for the boss. Doesn't really feel fair.

What a game! Got my first five hours in and just beat the
via some jolly cooperation! My path branches out into two possible areas now, so that's cool.
Started as a Knight and am now at level 37. I've only put points in health, stamina and strength so far and nothing is really giving me too much trouble.
Does anybody know all the soft caps for stats?

I regret nothing
I guess str build is the way to go for PvP then, need those battle arts
Health to 25 (or 26/27), then the rest of your points in the other two. You'll be able to tell when they are capping hard.
Waaaaah, I did not know that. That's not how it worked in DS2, is it?
UGH, thanks anyway.
So is this game like DS2 about the blacksmith? Can I just easily re-infuse weapons with no consequences to the + number?
Huh?
Haha, I'm the same, but with dex builds. "Let's not just do that same old dex build again." *Looks at options* "Fuck it let's do that same old dex build again."
Mercenary and enjoying my dual blades. Don't want to have to switch them out too soon, hoping they'll last. Trying to avoid using my shield and playing the game like Bloodborne.

spoilers, early-mid game.
Just beat the deacon's of the deep. Got the doll, is there somewhere I can go to find where to go next? Not tell me where, but where am I missing the information that tells me where to go? also, what is the point of hollowing? that number is growing.

Oh, I wondered the same, saved my ass a couple of times.
All two-handing does is give you 1.5x STR and if it doesn't scale with STR, it doesn't benefit your damage. Applies for DEX weapons all the same.

Found the bow. Thanks for the messages.
Hahaha oh god. Got invaded in the swamp/forest area, blue sentinel came to help, aggroed a ridiculously persistent and strong red-eyed monster and fucking DIED.
So there I was, being chased by a big-ass monster and a pyro invader, and ANOTHER FUCKING INVADER joins in. No idea why. But yeah, long story short, I managed to land a couple of hits and died.
So yeah. Invasions are definitely a real thing lol.
e: aww my invasion story was the last post of the page
