Was reading on this yesterday and I missed it too I think. You apparently have to speak with him in his specific location in each chapter leading up to 5 and exhaust all his dialogue options. If you progress a chapter without speaking to him fully then the makes the quest missable. It's not the only one like that I think. Old Man quest too. Link to post Share on other sites

Old Man quest too. yeah, i hate that stuff. it's not a big loss, but i want to finish off the game knowing i have every tool available, so i can properly gauge the difficulty of the final boss and the boss that has made grown men cry (joking about that lol).

Yeah it sucks. I've been using just a boss guide so it doesn't tell me anything about non boss related quests or item based quests which is a bummer. Felt like I've been doing everything I could but apparently not. At the end of Chapter 4 now. Link to post Share on other sites

-GD-X★ 8,413 Posted October 2 Share Posted October 2 So I found the drink that gives my gourd a mana boost (no clue how I missed it lol). I coupled it with a 46% health wine. I beat the final boss like nothing. It’s official - cloudstep is the most OP spell. I didn’t use any pluck of fucks or transformations (though, the transformation I had, passively, made cloud step cost 30 mana instead of 40). I will try to get a few more things from level 6 and then take a stab at Erlang. My overall score is about an 8.5 (so far) pros: lots of bosses; fun combat (even if limited), cool transformations, lots of QoL, the quests I did were a blast. Some memorable fights. Many secrets. Nice diversity with its levels. cons: way too many easy bosses compared to the challenging ones; limited move sets; cloud step makes the game mostly easy mode; some bosses and npc quest lines can be permanently missed; performance issues on the ps5, even in performance mode. I loved it though, flaws and all. Definitely in my top 5 this year. 1 1 Link to post Share on other sites

Half the shit you just said makes no sense to me but still, good review i might get this when its cheaper. just too many other priorities right now and im not in the mood for tough as nails games. 1 Link to post Share on other sites

It can feel hard, at the beginning, if you go into it as a Souls game (which I did). Once I understood its rules, it got a whole lot easier. I’m looking back at 3 bosses I got stuck on in chapters 1 and 2, and I can’t believe how easy they are, in retrospect (I was just playing the game poorly). Overall, most bosses can be beaten in 5 attempts or less. Even towards the end, I rushed through it since it was pretty easy, but overlooked key items, needed for the harder, final bosses. Once I got what I needed, though, things just got easier. I still feel one boss was a bit cheap, but I’d probably feel differently now, had I gone into it with the same stats/items I had equipped for part 2. But yeah, it’s a blast. More fun than Shadow of the Erdtree imo. 1 Link to post Share on other sites
madmaltese★ 2,832 Posted October 4 Share Posted October 4 Loving how linear Chapter 5 is so far. I fd up a bit in Chapter 4 though. In the secret area I beat the final boss first and it made the other 2 bosses there inaccessible. Oh well 1 Link to post Share on other sites

madmaltese★ 2,832 Posted Tuesday at 02:27 AM Share Posted Tuesday at 02:27 AM Chapter 6 now. Nice change of the formula I guess with it being more open world but I do prefer the more linear Chapter 5. Some of the bosses have been cool in this one though 1 Link to post Share on other sites
