why is everything stronger and faster than me at all times?

[Graf Vigah]

no matter the armor or health allways get nearly instakilled

how is the player even worth of being the elden lord if they need to cheese their way to the top with broken op katanas or roten breath

even with +18 guts sword and 70strenght i need 4-5 hit against those sewer imps

Hitting stone with a cutting object. Rock beats scissors.

Use strike on Stone creatures.

so i need to skill int to not getting 2 hit killed with 60 vigor

[Nerevar]

the sewer enemies are endgame scaled. dont go down there till you have a +25 weapon if you struggle.

just defeat the boss of the city and you can get to +25 easy. silly devs made the mistake of asking for too many regular stones so normal weapons cannot be maxed out until after morgott is defeated. meanwhile somber can get to +9 without defeating bosses and to max with just godrick and margit.

also like the other guy said stone creatures resist slashing dmg. try strike. watch what happens. but only if the upgrade matches. dont try with a +4 or something like that.

these imps dont 2 shot with 60 vigor either. unless youre wearing soreseal or something like that. in that case dodge or equip another charm to offset the downsides.

Giant Crusher +18 only 2 hit while losing only 1/3 health against one imp nice

Strength does not make you faster. You have to increase your max equip load by raising endurance. If your equip load is heavy..your slow. Get it down to at least medium. Either lighter armor or raise your endurance. Being able to hit hard and do a lot of damage isn't much good if you cannot even roll and dodge fast enough to avoid any attacks. Poise and blocking with a shield only get you so far..

[Christmas Bulge]

guts sword is a bad tool for elden beast, you are trying to fit a round peg into a square hole. This game is meant for a hybrid approach.

[Entelechia]

a pack of 10 rotten dogs (the small ones, not even the big bipedal ones) can easily become elden lord yeah.

but seriously, the game is 'balanced' around you having like 10+ red potion and frequent access to full recovery sites AND dying so it's simply how it goes. if you want to have an easier time against lots of those small but fast critters though, try carrying a shield and try not to get ganged up (i.e. off/lure them one by one from afar with bows or something).

yeah im always on medium

Bruh if you're not dealing enough damage with one weapon then go use two weapons. Seriously strength build without power stancing kinda sucks. Those imps I was nearly one shotting with one jump attack with two great curve swords and my weapon wasn't maxed out.

because the game is designed to be this way. it is made to train your ability to see the movementsets and avoid to get hit. it is not like other games where you get a huge advantage with stats.

kinda annoying in the snow area to treat every trashmob as a miniboss because of health and damage
