Having learned my lesson from the giant, I begin the next arm of my adventure by laying low and hiding in bushes to sneak past the armored horseman blocking my path. I should probably unlock that mount from the trailer, not to mention a way to spend my Runes (not Souls) to level up, before pushing too deep into the margins of the world. The demihumans are stationed around a dark cave that catches my eye, but with no torch to light the way forward, I reluctantly return to the starting area, noting the location of the cave.

You can nail basically any enemy with a critical hit of some kind if you hit them hard enough or parry well enough, making these finishers an important part of many fights.Īt one end of the beach, I find a mercenary guarding a Faith-type incantation that cures poison, while the other stretch of coastline is peppered with goblin-like demihumans, plus some reanimated skeletons that have to be double-tapped before they stay dead. Fortunately, two hits from my beginner spell stuns these things and opens them up to a devastating finisher denoted by an orange marker, which will feel familiar to Sekiro fans. "I head down a cliffside path to a beach populated by what can only be described as the world's least appetizing octopus balls"Įmboldened by the giant's death, and intrigued by the smithing stone shard it dropped – I can't imagine what that's for – I head down a cliffside path to a beach populated by what can only be described as the world's least appetizing octopus balls. That's right, folks: we're back to the Dark Souls 3 magic system, and it still rips.
You can also divide your flasks (you start with four) between crimson flasks for HP and cerulean ones for FP, patching up your wounds or fueling your spells as needed. This keeps you from constantly running on empty as you explore, effectively extending how far you can reasonably travel without needing to rest at another Site of Grace. When you vanquish a group of enemies – or, if you're a stubborn idiot, one big enemy that you probably shouldn't be fighting yet – you get a few flasks back based on the difficulty of whatever you killed. I use up all the Flasks of Tears that recover my health and mana (or FP for Focus Points) in the process of killing the giant, and am therefore relieved to recover some flasks after the fight. I don't know it yet, but this is the start of a terrible addiction to sorcery. On the third try, I lean more on the magic that came with my starting class, the Enchanted Knight, and manage to kill the big guy. Naturally, I immediately come back and get killed again.
Because I stubbornly ignore the game's suggested direction, the first enemy I encounter is a fleshy giant which quickly flattens me.
