Just reached "Liurnia, East" and i get two shot most of the time...

[V3rtigoN7]

I'll put the list of what i'm using and stats:

Level 43

Vigor 28 (with the talisman i reach 964 HP)
Mind 10
Endurance 20
Strength 22
Dexterity 16
Intelligence 7
Faith 8
Arcane 11

Equipment:

Full knight set (Haven't found anything heavier than that sadly)
Claymore+7
Uchigatana+6

Crimson Amber Medallion
Spelldrake Talisman


Am i missing something or should i just go back to grind levels for vigor?

[Alexis Machine]

You are somewhat underleveled for the area, the recommended level is 50-60, so try adding 10 levels.

Your weapons are ok, but when it comes to armor with a bit of patience you can do much better: try farming for the altered banished knight set in Stormveil Castle, it's a considerable improvement from the knight set.

And yes, do allocate some of the points you'll gain from those new levels to Vigor.

personally i believe that in ER, just like in the previous FS games, you don't ever really need grind - mostly it's just learning the enemy timing. your stats seem largely fine for that area (though I would argue that Crimson Amber Medallion is not worth it most of the time unless you literally don't have other options - the increase is 6% which seems unlikely to make the difference if you're already getting two shot). it seems weird that you're getting two shot in that area by the regular enemies though, is it all of them or just a subset?

[cybercybercybercyber4]

what exactly 2 shots you?
this shouldnt have happened, seeing your stats and equipment most of the enemies should kill you in 3 hits, not 2.

i mean there are abductor maidens, the glintstone dragon and the lobsters, but the majority of enemies shouldnt 2 shot you.

From skeletons to liurnia soldiers, for some reason i get killed that easily so i dunno.

[Zogtar]

Visit the area mines, get you some stones, and level up them weapons more.

[Dollmaker]

Stay, the hell, away, from the Giant Crayfish, those things are the devil.

Its the giant lobster looking thing.

Also, youre pretty low on Vig, it should be your main priority, most people aim for 50-60 by endgame.

i just checked it myself (as it contradicted my memory). those liumuria soldiers at the purified ruins can only 2 shot you if they use 2 of their glintstone star shard things in a row and all 3 projectiles connect both times. their normal attack is pitiful, it didnt even do 200 damage with the knight set and no talismans/buffs.

id say my assessment was reasonable, putting points into vigor helps for sure, though.

Lvl vigor

[Tron™]

weapon scaling in the beginning is for most weapons aweful....so VIG and END are vital...go for min requirements for claymore and uchi (if this will be ur main weapons for the next time)
enough END that u wont fat rolling, rest in VIG

so for ur build:
STR 16
DEX 15
END for full armor/talis + 1 weapon !
VIG rest

Nope

[tmg]

Level vigor straight to 50.

[I Am Klaus]

You're not underleveled (average for finishing Stormveil is about 30), but get your Vigor up. 40 Vigor will easily hold you over until you finish Royal Capital.

[V3rtigoN7]

I grinded a bit and reached 32 points in vigor, reaching 1081 HP (plus amulet).
Now i'm not getting one shot anymore and i can stop murdering in stormveil castle for runes kek.


Thanks y'all for the help and have a nice day!


Edit: Forgot to mention that i have godrick rune active now. °L°

First of all its normal in Elden Ring and any other souls game that you get 3 shot.
Thats how the game is designed !
Thats big part of what all Souls Games have as intended mechanic.
you take 2 shots and barely live and if you take a 3rd you die.

But there are exceptions´since some Monsters are super deady and will kill you in 2
The Giant Lobster Snipers for example they easily 2 shot you.

i would bet that you werent 2 shot but it was actually 3 shot and you felt like it was 2 shot from most monsters.
