I needed the wolves spirit summon to defeat Mad Pumpkin Head AMA
not trolling. I'm old and don't play games outside of the turn based genre. Don't believe me check my Steam profile.
I picked wretch and put my points into intelligence and Mad Pumpkin Head almost ruined my plans

It's okay, for any future ones just try to get behind them and attack their bodies. Maybe you'll find them easier to hit with some melee sorceries

I read that he was 'simple because he is so slow'.
Well I am even slower

the game is designed to use summons. no shame in it

Rule №1: Never feel apologetic about using summons or about your skill. Play however you see fit.

Rule №2: Wolves are cool.

I don't see anything wrong with that, tools are in the game to be used.

That's totally Fine, all the git Gud stuff is Mostly memeing. The Game offers optional Tools to either help you progress or make it harder its an individual Choice, don't let anyone tell you otherwise and enjoy the Game.

I feel a great shame none the less. I also figure I will need to be level 337 to defeat Margit

Just don't put these foolish ambitions to rest and you will be fine.

It's okay, you as a player define your own rules when you play. I decided to play "the old way" without summoning anything, and I'm paying the price every day.

Man this community is so much more supportive then i had imagined when I had the masochistic idea of sharing my incompetence :steamhappy:

I'm gonna do some chores and have some breakfast, and then I am going to try and kick him off of the bridge with the kick ash of war.

I incorrectly tried to entertain a similar idea until I got soft locked by Mad Pumpkin Head as I was at the precipice of getting my magic

nah, dw about it. challenge runs are a great way to approach the game, like not using shields, not using summons, but this is for people who are looking for challenge

if you are just trying to solve the game, look at it like a puzzle or a platformer. the goal is to get from point A to point B using the available tools. pretty sure this is how we all play our first From game. succeed any way you can

the fanbase has a lot of masochism from experienced players that new players shouldn't worry about. one of the great things about DS/ER is that you set your own level of challenge through your play style. if you want to struggle, that's ok too, but only if it's fun

the wolves are fragile but they are a great distraction. there are tank summons that will literally play the game for you, so if you are just using wolves, then you can feel good about that if you want to

this is great supportive advice I am surely going to use in my run. However I am a huge gaming masochist in my genres of choice. I try and make 'impossible' turn based roguelikes harder by making gimp builds. I am in great internal turmoil at my inability to be masochistic in THE masochistic rpg however. I guess I really just need to Git Gud anyhow hehehe
