Making good progress I had already explored some of the plateau and manor before I ever reached Radahn. But after getting meteored that first time, I thought to myself "you know, if I’m gonna get killed a hundred times, I should do it in style", so I backtracked to the manor because Balrog told me it was a way to get cool armor. It was. 1 * Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TheCzarsHussar Posted March 27, 2022 Share Posted March 27, 2022 @The Good Doctor Without spoiling anything, Volcano Manor is in a weird spot with difficulty. If you're like me and want to complete all their quests before the boss, itll take you to the late game. By the time I squared off with its boss, I was so powerful that I did it in one attempt. Granted, I was very low on tears by the end. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's how they describe it The Volcano Manor has to be the most sinister place in the whole game, somehow once you go past the friendly area, it becomes LESS creepy.

Granted, I was very low on tears by the end. From everything I’ve been told, I am dramatically under-leveled for all the areas I’ve been running around in. Mid-60s and I’ve explored half the capital and been all over Mount Gelmir. Getting runes is so easy, I am trying to just keep myself low enough to enjoy the challenges and not breeze through things. But if I hit a brick wall, I could probably get to 70+ in like half an hour at most. * Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Two shot territory with most enemies if you're not at least 40+ vigor. Once you venture beyond the capital that is. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Good Doctor Posted March 27, 2022 Share Posted March 27, 2022 But Volcano Manor and its side quests have consistently given better loot than anything before them. Their "rebellion" doesn’t make a ton of sense to me, however. So they hate the gods and Erdtree, and their defiance is to… kill a few lowly tarnished? I don’t know if these guys play into the endgame or not (don’t tell me), they seem like they could considering what a big chunk of the game they got. But I don’t think they’re the side I’d want to see come out on top. Tbh, as weird as the Fingers are and as dogmatic as the Roundtable can be, the idea of just fixing the damn ring and restoring the golden age seems like a pretty reasonable goal. Everything seems kinda shit with it broken. 1 * Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Manor you find is greatly diminished from getting their ass beat by the capital's army during thr Shattering. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheCzarsHussar Posted March 27, 2022 Share Posted March 27, 2022 Also those few Lowly Tarnished are heroes of great renown, if you were a casual you'd notice their signs down at numerous bosses. You're basically killing these heroes that helped you on your way when you were weaker. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And I know from the descriptions that the guy who I got this sick armor from was one of the OGs. Luckily, I ain’t no casual so no guilt on that front. I was just helping my boy Ash of War Guy. Who actually did help me in the past. 1 * Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
