What's the most basic mechanic you missed for most of the game?

I just beat the base game and was half-way through the DLC before I discovered how to use pouches.

I'll broaden the topic to any souls game if that's allowed here.

Looking for ridiculous build ideas

Hey y’all, I’ve been playing a good bit of from soft/ Elden ring. I always find myself going towards dex/arcane builds. I was wondering if anyone has any good goofy builds?

So far I’ve thought about a pure strength build with the giant crusher, spellblade intelligen/quality, something that gets me out of my habits if that makes sense?

I have the whole map unlocked and am running around trying to complete as much as possible before next new game. If anyone has any niche weapon suggestions lmk!

Margit breaks the fourth wall

I just realized... When he says "Well, thou art of passing skill", and specially this part "Warrior blood must must truly run in thy veins, Tarnished", he may be speaking to the player, and referring to their prior experience with previous From Software games.

Tomoe Hitless (Charmless, Demon Bell, NG+)

An easy method is to go for 2 R1s during most punishes then react to whatever Tomoe's response is, since just like Isshin some of her moves have hyper armor. She has the fastest posture recovery in the game, but if you keep up the aggression and know which moves can be safely interrupted, you can prevent her from regenerating all of it.

A suggestion is to use Phantom Kunai to counter her input reading for projectiles. I also recommend using Flame Vent's Living Force since she is weak to fire.

Spiral Cloud Passage has to be one of my favorite moves to fully deflect, though Loaded Umbrella is very useful if you want an easier time. That said, she will recover vitality on block so you should still spin the Umbrella. Phantom Kunai can be used for triggering the semi-scripted first Spiral Cloud Passage. Another tip is that you can Mikiri the finishing thrust during her Phantoms for a big punish.

I love how you are heavily rewarded for surviving her most difficult yet still intuitive moves, it's a sign of great game design. Absolutely one of my favorite bosses from the DLC!

Skill issues, but I prefer to fight with Bayle’s leg rather than his head

Someone says that the developers did everything to make it necessary to hit him on the head in this fight. Well, I don’t think so. In my first playthrough, I had daggers at all; in your opinion, how would I have hit his head?

Btw, try guess my blessing level.
