Can't Level Up

[Octoling]

Ever since I beat the Parade Master I haven't been able to Level Up at any Stargazer. The only options are:
"Teleport to another Stargazer"
"Change Legion Arm"
"Use Storage"

Am I missing something, is anyone else experience this? Loving the demo but its hard to progress when I can't level.

If you progress forward you'll find the way to do it, there's nothing dangerous in the way. The first stargazer letting you level is only temporary.

Edit to clarify: blue hair lady in hotel.

wth I talked to her multiple times before and she never offered to level me. They need to make that change clearer.

Make sure to talk to everyone at the hotel, and then back to the lady in the blue dress.

Same thing happened to me, like you say they have to make this clearer, the same with the stone that lets you fix weapons on the fly, I don't get the game reminding me multiple times about the block button, but not explaining to me other mechanics that seem more complicated than that.

No wonder I was getting beat down.i couldn't level up

Do y'all just not talk to NPCs at all? This is a souls like, talk to EVERYONE multiple times. Exhaust all dialog.

I was confused why the first resting place offered to upgrade, but the further ones did not. I don't recall seeing any information regarding that from hub unlock onwards, she will be dealing with your leveling up.

By your logic you should be able to level up on any resting place because "ItS a SoUlS LiKe". Thats just bad design.

You just need to exhaust all the dialogue of the doll. No need to talk to everyone, even though you should.

Bad example as only DS1 had that. In DeS, DS2 & 3, you need to talk the shrine maiden to level up.

Figuring out thing like that on your own is def. part of the "souls like" experience, that's why you need to talk to everybody and exhaust all dialogue. You'll be suprise of the things you'll learn.

I agree it's an obtuse and bad form of design. The game ended up having artificial difficulty cuz I couldn't spend the souls/ergo I acquired from beating the first boss. Yeah this is an L.

Actually no, in Dark Souls 3 you HAVE to talk to the Fire Keeper in Fire Link Shrine, and in Bloodborne you HAVE to talk to Lady Maria (Puppet) to level up. So no, you’re actually wrong lol. Not all Souls Like have it so you can level up at every rest point

That’s quite literally your own fault for not talking to every NPC and expecting the game to hold your hand and give you a quest marker on how to do every single thing. It’s not an L design you’re just an L RPG player.
