Defeated three major bosses last night after being stuck on just one for hours. Thrilling!

Which ones? That’s how it went for me. After I killed Rykard after about 50 tries, I went on a rampage.

Dragonlord Placidusax (the one really giving me troubles)
Malenia Blade of Miquella
Maliketh, the Black Blade

I switched gear and builds to use the River of Blood +10 along with a Dragon spell and it made quick work of everyone.

Oh damn that’s a tough trio. I tried Dragonlord a few times and just bailed.

I've been skipping all the cinematics because I have no idea what is going on in the game. Will just watch a YouTube explainer later.

I spent most of my recent sessions getting the Dung Eater summons. My next order of business, before the tree, is improving my weapons and armor. I want Rivers of Blood.

There are several (?) areas of the map I still haven’t discovered yet.

I would explore a little more then. Once you light the tree, you’re nearing the endgame. There’s so many areas to explore that I would have hated to miss.

The recently announced 1,000 page, two volume, official strategy guide is probably one of the nicest strategy guides ever made.

If it had come out at launch I may have bought it. No need now.

1.05 patch is out. I was relieved to see there was no nerf to Rivers of Blood or bleed in general (as I still don't have it yet and don't want to miss out on it's OP-ness).

Finally bested the Elden Beast after about four hours of attempts. Now to use save states to see every ending.

Summoned two coop players for Radahn thinking it was going to be a war and they melted him in about 30 seconds. I’m kinda disappointed!

hahaha. Yeah the Radahn fight is definitely one you want to do solo if you can cause it's pretty unique.
