Look closely at your map, look for undiscovered buildings/ruins drop a place marker and head off. You might find some nice things.

Ps. do you have both halves of the Dectus medallion?

Have you done the first castle area with Margit? Reads like you might have been following some guides on how to get various items, but might be worth having a crack at some of the stuff on the main quest line.

You don’t actually need both halves of the Dectus medallion either!

Torn between starting NG+ and just creating a level 40 character to invade Stormveil castle.

Really?

Also you don't need to go through the Raya Lucaria Academy either, just use the steps in the screenshot I posted on the previous page I fell off a few times to bypass both gates. Situated here :

Situated here : West of the Mausoleum Compound, just left of the big vertical rock in this screenshot.

Yeah you can get to the Altus Plateau without using the lift. I found it accidentally when exploring.

You do need a different Medallion to get to the Malenia fight though, I don’t think there’s a skip for that one. Well worth the effort hehe

I dont usually aim to platinum games but I am now on a NG+ and only two trophies away.

This game is incredible, I've only had it 2 and half weeks and I'm about 105 hours in.

I am looking forward to getting some sleep once done.

Use the octopus summon! It will take most of the aggro and poison him.

If you get stuck I'll be online from about 8 tonight and you can summon me.

Me too, surprised how high the numbers are who've done it compared with others.



My warp in on target without Bloodhound's step that I can now trigger on purpose when targeting an enemy and pressing both triggers at the same time helped. But still haven't found what's giving me the power to do it biggrin Bloodhound's Fang the weapon I use can't have any Ashes of War on it and it's power is blood loss - https://eldenring.wiki.fextralife.com/Bloodhound's... and of course the great left trigger attack and immediate big jump back which combined with the double trigger warp in means I can go in and out fast, in-between attacks.

I know, but I'm not using that. https://eldenring.wiki.fextralife.com/Bloodhound's... has a special move along with all the others, left trigger attack and immediate in all one move big jump back. Combined with my warp forward it's a perfect combination.

Bloodhound Fang extra weapon skill (left trigger attack and back) PLUS the warp forward - https://youtu.be/bm5up7iyS8U?t=246

He's doing both here, so I guess it's from the weapon! First time I have seen this on another, so that solves that little conundrum. For me it was just trying different things and it happened. It doesn't even mention the warp forward part on the wiki page.
