Don't Want to Quit, But...

[Wylfen]

Enjoy the game, however, I am constantly wandering through the same areas. Level 80 by going in circles over and over again. Can't even find the blacksmith. even though I have followed some online directions that start in the Bell Room. Even a simple map would help...Elden Ring style. Any kind of map at all! Another 4 hours of wandering today with no results. I admire those of you who have move through the game.

go to the bell vestige , take the elevator , drop down where you hear some woman making noise , she will be locked in a cage with someone else , outside the cage there is 3 dogs and the warden , kill them , the warden loot the key , free her & meet them at skyrest.

The maps are confusing at first, but once you learn them they are fine. I'd summon a coop helper, they usually know the way. I can coop with you tonight and guide you if you want.

The level design of this game is confusing and full of intricate corners. I completed one of the endings and I still get lost in the game. This new glorified formula of completing quests and areas with a permanent YouTube video tutorial open in another window is obtuse, but apparently it is what we have for now in the genre. And after 10 years I only see it getting worse.

Thanks Kim. Elevator always gives me the broken message.

Thanks for the offer. I have to teach an evening class tonight, but would welcome help another time.

it's a common mistake , probably because of the 3 pilgrim that bolt you , , when you fight them , u can forget that there was something below and go further away to the ladder that lead to the boss

You have to send it up from the bottom before it will work, then it will become a shortcut. Take the path on the right when facing the vestige, go out onto the outdoor platforms and work your way around. You'll have to be in umbral for parts of it. It's difficult to explain, but basically just keep proceeding anyway you can, and if you can't go any further then check umbral.

When you finally come to a dead end you'll find a door on the platform in umbral, with 3 bodies nearby you have to soulflay to open it. Once you get through that door you'll find the elevator, and under that the blacksmith.

I think the umbral parts is what throws people off, if you don't check umbral regularly you'll think you hit a dead end.

This has to be a satire post. Even the worst players that quit the game early found the blacksmith.

[Mouffmouff]

lvl 80 with no blacksmith. You skip all ?
