Yeah. It's a BKP Nailbomb I had made.
Also have an Elden Ring Quad Cortex and more pickups on this Tao 6.

By the way @Whizzinby one of the talismans on the pickups of the above guitar is really easy to get. It's in some waterlogged ruins on the way to Caelid just East of Limgrave.
The other... Well, that's a whole other level and a long, long way from where you are now.

The "cat" is an Erdtree Burial Watchdog. Yes, a dog. Imps are annoying - and still are in the DLC dungeons!
Two-handing strength weapons gives a damage bonus unavailable to any other stat. Just saying that it multiplies your strength by 50% for damage and scaling. A big sword also provides some measure of shield/guard protection, but not 100% like a Brass Shield. If you have 40 Str, two-handing makes it 60.
Crystal Caves supply smithing stones. The Academy Crytal Cave Boss giving you a way of buying +1 and +2 stones forever. Later on you will be able to buy anything up to +10 forever - but if you go online and join a group, well, anything and everything can be traded or duped. Iji sells endless +1 and +2 Somber stones, and a few +3 and +4.

It happened.
Defeated Castle Morne! (Sorta)
I was feeling frisky and graced past the giant dude at the entrance at the lift. I took two losses to the swarm of dudes by the fire, but I figured out how to not have the entire group attack by fighting the dudes on fringes first. Wolf summon a big help. Was able to work my way through the castle methodically. Found the grace on the rear of the castle and took a death on a bad jump on the back of the castle, but finally made it down to ground level and fought off those obnoxious rat bastards to get outside and find the myst portal. The Begotten boss I got about 20% of his health down on the first pass, but he managed to wedge between the wolves and me and caught me by surprise with the triple spin sword crap. I was going to throw in the towel, that fight didn’t go well and the game intimidates me, but my son was like “FIGHT HIM AGAIN”. Back we go. Wolves summoned. Go time.
A complete ass whipping ensued. The perfect pairing of man and wolf, working together to rid the world of evil. The wolves stayed in a perfect formation, I wheeled around to the side, and they were getting in his ass while I was spamming RT from an angle. I only had to block and counter twice in the entire fight.
We did it boys. We did it.
I got some fancy greatsword from the boss, but that requires 40 strength and a bunch of dex. Got a talisman of some sort and an ash too throughout the castle. Also got my smithing #2’s in there, so I was able to go back to Elleh and level up my endurance and then flip to the rountable and boost my Claymore to +4. Met a new NPC at the rountable that offered to teach me incantations, but I didn’t take him up on it yet, because I wanted to boost my Claymore with those runes.
Tomorrow, the giant bastard guarding the entrance has a date with death.

I’m currently 20 strength. (V-E-S: 28, 21, 20) I think I need to dump into strength the next couple level ups. My vigor is holding up as long as I don’t take a massive combo fumbling with the enemy focus click or get too aggressive with counters.

I tried Bloodborne on PC with the shadPS4 emulator. It's apparently now playable all the way through.
Took me a while to figure out how to get it to stop crashing (was patching the main folder instead of the game update folder), and still probably need more mods to fix some things.
You can patch it to work at 60 fps and that makes such a huge difference in how the game feels to play. I am a bit rusty but managed to go through Central Yharnam and beat the Cleric Beast on my second try with a +1 Saw Cleaver and otherwise being completely unupgraded.
Setting res to 4K seemed to bug out but maybe I can get that fixed. Even at 1080p it still looks great, the extra framerate really helps.
I really wish Sony would just do a PS5 patch or PC version, but this is the next best thing.

I suppose I should circle back and finish Shadow of the Erdtree at some point... It's just, everything I disliked about Elden Ring (versus Demon's/ Dark Souls) feels like it's amplified a hundred-fold in SotE. Mainly talking about the open world thing, versus Souls' more curated, semi-linear "Metroidvania" feel.

Great moments in video game history:
That was fucking brutal. Took me about an hour.
So I started by beating the giant at castle morne. What a letdown. If you grace to the lift behind him you can sneak up and get like 3-4 strong attacks on him before he gets ready to fight and by that point he is almost dead. What a bummer. That dude was living rent free in my head since I started the game.
I followed @Jynx advice and found the dragon that doesn’t move. (Wtf is up with that lol) After slaying him I had like 70k runes between my Morne run yesterday and the dragon windfall. I was able to level up like 7 points which made me say F it, let’s go to the castle.
Found Margit, and he destroyed me and my beloved wolves for about half an hour. I was occasionally getting him down to like 50% but then losing to his axe combo. Decided to switch up my summon to the jellyfish and after a few fights like that I realized I could beat him with jellyfish if I could keep his attention enough to not focus on killing it quick. At medium range he couldn’t focus exclusively on either one so when he’d attack the jellyfish I’d stab him in the ass and when he attacked me the jellyfish would spam him. Took a bit to get the roll down for his attacks, but luckily if I went down the jelly would regain his attention long enough ti down a flask and then go strong attack.. Broke my heart that old Jelly didnt live long enough to see the finishing blow.
RIP dear friend
Onward north!
What a game so far. This shit has me mentally, physically and emotionally invested.
- Beating Mike Tyson’s Punchout
- The end of RDR1
- Roasting smores by the campfire of Margits dead fucking ashes

Oh there is no way I’m trying to play the game even more difficult than it already is. This shit is hard.
If I could walk around the entire map with wolves and jellyfish I would. Ha

I get it. The games are hard as fuck.
Not gonna lie, though. I beat Margit without summons by parrying him into the dirt. When the boss music came on it came on for me.

For some reason I thought there would be a breather after Margit, but Stormveil is hard af and I don’t even want to know what all those dudes are pointing their firebows at and ignoring me. I’m stopping while I’m ahead for the evening. lol

Looking forward to reading your posts when you get to the hard bit.

Well, that was a mother dragon with her baby dragons beside her right behind her. Feel bad yet, you heartless bastard?!I followed @Jynx advice and found the dragon that doesn’t move.
