Do this first before fighting the difficult bosses. Some main bosses also let you summon an NPC helper before the boss fight, indicated by an orange mark on the ground.īecause the game is open world you can already go to many late-game areas to find flask upgrades from the beginning. These distract the bosses so that you can attack from behind for bonus damage. Remember you can also summon Ashen Remains (spirits) to fight alongside you in battle. At sites of grace you can change how many of your flasks are assigned to health and how many to mana. A melee character is quite difficult to play in this game, as it requires learning enemy movesets perfectly and dodging at the right time, with an Astrologer you can largely get around this by staying far away from the enemy. A good ratio is out of every 3 attribute points put 2 in whatever your weapon damage scales to and 1 in Vigor. Also put some points into Vigor for more health. Focus on primarily leveling up damage, in case of Astrologer that’s the Intelligence attribute. After they miss their attack you have a moment to counter-attack, rinse and repeat. For enemies with shields, lure them into attacking you by running around in front of them. Always run (hold ) or dodge backward to stay out of the enemy’s attack range. Stand far enough away where the boss can’t hit you but close enough where your magic can hit them. A magic build is easiest for beginners, it allows you to attack enemies from a safe distance. The recommended starting class is Astrologer.
