I’ve galloped past a bunch of stuff on Torrent, claimed the map, and discovered a coupes grace sites. As far as the lore and locations go, they’re still pretty much a mystery to me. I’m really excited to reach a point where exploring it in depth is viable, but right now I think I’d likely get clobbered. I’m only in my 30s right now All I go there for is to farm the little guys in the wilds around the beast temple when I need runes to buy smithing stones.

Sometimes I’ll be fighting the little guys and will get too close and he’ll come after me.

I might return to Lingrave for a bit just to wrap up a few things first (like one of those boss portals I skipped, and a few areas in the Weeping Peninsula I’d like to check out), then it’s off to the marshes. * Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Great presentation, and fun. It was waaaaay better than Midir just by virtue of it not taking 30 freaking minutes. I really enjoyed it. I was just riding in the Limgrave swamp, minding my business, about to cut down some soldiers, when out of nowhere freaking Alduin on stereoids swoops down and one shots all of them right before I arrive. I beat him on my first attempt, because Torrent is OP, but it was still one of the coolest things I’ve randomly bumped into in the open world so far. * Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Good Doctor Posted March 12, 2022 Share Posted March 12, 2022 I also killed a boss in the new region who dropped a bell bearing that lets me purchase smithing stones. I am about to play with so many weapons. Went back and killed the Crucible Knight who kicked my ass the first time I was in the Stormveil area. He was a pretty solid boss compared to most other random world ones. Odd that he was tougher than Godrick or the dragon; makes me wonder what his deal was. Loved his second phase where he starts whipping out dragon aspect powers. Spoiler question Are the dark rider world bosses the same guys from the intro who killed Godwyn the Golden on the Night of Black Knives and stole the Rune of Death? They look very much the same. If so, I’m guessing there are two more out there somewhere, because I think there were four in the into. * Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cruicble Knights were the sworn Knights of Godfry the first Lord, there badass motherfuckers. They can channel "the aspect of the crucible" that lets them grow the body parts of primordial lifeforms. No, but that plot point (and all the people involved) are explored in detail! Keep exploring and interacting.
