The bell bearing hunters are very hard, they drop a bell bearing you can
give to the merchant in Roundtable to be able to buy more stuff for crafting.
Not really worth it, but I killed them for completeness.

You have to put arrows in your arrow slots to be able to use the bow. left
slot uses 'light attack' and right slot uses 'heavy' attack (they don't actually
do light and heavy attacks, it's just choosing the arrow.) You can zoom with
crosshairs by holding the block button but you'll lose lock on, and the skill
button does... the skill. Bow skills are a stance so you have to hold it and
choose 'light' or 'heavy' attack to fire the particular arrow you want with it.

Bows are very weak, but longbows have better range that can come in handy
in some situations such as pulling single enemies or sniping from a safe
spot or long range kiting, and shortbows have their rapid fire which makes
them really good at getting status effects like poison with poison arrows.

Bows are a lot more useful if you aren't a spell caster as you don't have better
ranged options.

100+ hrs and this is the first I've heard of power stancing :) I'll have

I know where the bridge is with the dragon on it but for the life of
me Google will not tell me where the FORK is! I did find a couple of
videos and it looks exactly where I have been but I gone in all
directions and it is pretty dire. Not much around there.

Let me know!

*-

I cannot find the fork area but I did find one end of Caelid. It
looks to be a very tough area. The section with the bridge and the
sanctum seems to be a dead end. I have scooted past the dragon on the
bridge (cliff), went around the sanctum, went to the right and left of
it (both are cliffs) and all seem to be dead ends.

So I do onto know where the fork is!

But maybe I am not ready for it anyway.

Great advice! Something I have started to do too. I guess I am
"maturing" also :-)

I went back to him and he just grunted so I must have gotten them.

How would I use another seal?

Hi,

I figured out the equipment page! Doh! I just noticed that certain
tiles had images for certain types of items! lol!

But, I just somehow unequipped my jellyfish ashes when trying to see
if I can also use the skeleton ashes I got in addition to the lone
wolf and jellyfish ones. Now, I cannot figure out how to add one
besides the lone wolf ashes. I used to have both the jelly fish and
wolf ones.

Also, I tried to equip my quick pouch and nothing will go into them.

All right, what obvious thing am I missing now? :-)

This sounds like a game that DESPERATELY needs a manual.

It's like a manual, but includes a lot of spoilers. I don't care about the spoilers though.

I still would like to know where DragonBarrow Fork is in Caelid.

Caelid is nasty with big enemies. I have tried to find it via the
bridge and main building but everywhere is a dead end. I went past
the dragon on the bridge and just cliffs. I did take the long way
around and found a site of grace and the flaming wall that I have been
reading about.

But I would like to try farming ruins at the fork. I did see it in a
video but still cannot figure out where it is. Granted, the guy's
character in the video is probably lots more powerful than mine but I
still would like to give it a shot with an empty wallet. :-)

That doesn't look particularly much faster than the vulgar millitia.
From what I can tell you'll probably need the reduvia, which
you might not have the stats for, plus you have to kill an NPC
invader on the river going north from the big lake in linwood,
he's rather tough, but if you can survive long enough an NPC
defender will come help you. Unfortunately you can't use
spirit summons there, and the invasion sends Torrent away.

You could possibly use bloody slash ash of war instead if you
put that on your broadsword, but you have to be careful as
that does some self damage. The reason you need a blood
attack is that it does % damage instead of a set amount and
the dragon has a huge pool of hit points that will make it
take a long time to kill with other weapons at your upgrade level.

It looks like the fork is along the north of the middle of
Dragonbarrow. From where you farm the vulgar millitia you'd
have to run past the dragon on the bridge to the south, then keep
right along cliffs, eventually you'll come to a spot where the cliffs
make a decent to above the sea, and you can double back to the
north, there's a site of grace somewhere along there past the
dragon they're saying to kill.

Well, forget about it! You bring up some great points.

The character in the video had something bright blue on it's sword so
I knew there had to be a catch.

Maybe I will see if I can find it when I don't have many runes to
lose.

It looks like a tough area (Caelid/Draggonbarrow).

My Confessor is level 61 now: 23 Vigor, 17 Mind, 14 Endurance, 35
Strength, 14 Dex, 9 Int, 19 Faith, 9 Arcane.

I still have the starting sword +4 and brassshield +3.

Incarnations: Urgent Heal, Heal, Cur Poison, Rejection, Assasins
Approach, Catch Flame, Flame Sling, Flame of Frenzy. Nothing too
powerful and I only have 3 memory stones and can't figure out how to
swap the incarnations out.

AofW: Wild Strike, Ground Slam, Storm Stomp, Unsheath, Sacred Blade,
Mighty Shot

SA: Lone Wolf +1, Skeleton, Jellyfish. Haven't been able to find
more.

I made one Wondrous Physick with what little I had. Haven't found any
more of them.

A bunch of consumables but haven't figured out what to do with them
and how they work and what they do.

Same for crafting. Haven't figured that out yet or even tried to
craft.

Chainmail Armour but haven't found anything much better. Same for
gloves, headwear, footwear. Something to guard against poison and
fire would be real nice.

Thanks!

Hi,

What are seals and what do I use them for and why should I switch?

And how do I switch?

Hi,

I have the original Finger Seal which I have upgraded a couple of
times (I also have no idea what that does) and a Clawmark Seal.

What do I do with them and when and how and why? :-)

>What are seals and what do I use them for and why should I switch?

I use one of the dragon seals, but they all are for casting spells.
Seals work with Holy spells, the dragon seals work with beast type
incantations, and the staffs are for glintstone sorceries. You equip a seal
like a weapon in the right hand, then scroll through the spells/incantations
you've put into the 'memory slots' (decided in a grace site menu), similar
to scrolling through items to use or throw but on the top side of the
controller D-pad, then 'fire' off the spell.

I carry both a dragon seal & a glintstone staff, the dragon one for
healing/curing spells & glintstone for weapon spells & a shield enhancement
spells. I think the type of seal you mention is for Holy -type
incantations, so the Gold spells that you acquire. Their function overlaps
to a large extent.

Seals allow you to cast incantation spells. The Finger seal
scales off of faith, so high faith with it makes incantations
do more damage and heal more.

The clawmark scales mostly off of strength, with a tiny bit of
Faith, and is stronger, so it's better with your current build.
However it would have to be close to as upgraded as the Finger
to be better. You can see what the spell scaling is on each, but
the clawmark has a hidden bonus to damage on most incants
so it's actually stronger than spell scaling shows. It also
gains +50% strength when two handed.

When you have your equipment screen open you click on the
seal and choose the other one to change it (or any hand item)

Thanks guys.

So the seals like the clawmark only work for strength-based
incanations?

I don't have any of those. Only the list in my previous post.

Or maybe the Flame Sling uses strength?

A Seal can be used two handed like a weapon? Now I am confused. I
thought I need it just for using incantations and that is why I must
have it equipped in my left hand instead of my shield.

Thanks. Here are two other questions that I cannot find answers to:

How do I use a Talisman? What do I need to do? I do not have a
talisman pouch yet.

What is the "Switch Action" keys that I see sometimes on my screen?

Also,

Is there a forum or group related to Elden Ring other than Steam so I
don't have to keep bugging you both here and making the newsgroup so
huge?

I unsubscribed to that one because I clicked on a message and it was a
disgustiong porn video that I am having trouble getting out of my
head. I quit watching it after a couple seconds. That is how long it
took me to click the close button.

Oh - can I switch Ashes of War to another weapon without losing
it/them? I just got the abilities to use a Winged Scythe. Turns out,
it doesn't seem to do any more than my stock sword +5. I see it does
to a little magic damage (I think).

Open the Equipment screen and look at the title as you scroll down, the
4th one is for talismans. you get more slots as you defeat major bosses.

Do they automatically do something? Do I have to equip them in a
quick slot or pouch? I have a little icon on the HUD that is
tear-shaped and has yellow lines around it.

Okay rms - what are buffs? I just got the Golden Vow Ash of War and
am trying to figure out what to do with it. it says"

"You can use the Ash of War by placing it into a secondary weapon that
you barely use. Before engaging in a fight, just equip the weapon and
use the skill which will grant buffs, and then again equip your
primary weapon.

To cast it, you will require 40 FP. The buff lasts about 45 seconds
which will help you in your barely scraping engagements."

I don't understand that.

Thanks!

I was going to ask if you've started using these weapon skills, as they
can be extremely powerful alt-fire modes. I've been using 'sword of night
and flame' lately, which has two separate alt-fire attacks, one a burst of
flame the other a beam of magic. To use it, I hold down the left trigger
L2, then press either R1 or R2 to unleash the special attacks. Different
ashesofwar have slightly different activation keypresses, so experiment, and
they can be inactive if you have a shield equipped in the other hand with
its own skill. Also I frequently use two swords now instead of a sword &
shield, as they attack at the same time, dealing 2x the damage. It is
possible to switch out ashes of war from what a weapon may have already, you
can do that at the blacksmith in roundtablehold.

the golden vow one just makes the weapon glow and you and nearby cooperators
get increased damage for a bit. similar to the various weapon coatings in
your inventory, but uses FP instead of a physical item.

So the GV ooks like it is for MP. No thanks.

I seem to really be on a roll now. Fought for some good weapons and
incantations. Like the Electric Armament (what a blast) and Lighting
Spear (which I haven't tried yet). Finally beat the PITB Bloody
Finger Nerijus and a couple of other tough guys. Fun stuff!

Also have explored almost all of Liurnia of the Lakes. Way too tough
up north for me still (I think). Stuff seem mostly for Astrologers
any way. And dragon stuff.

Don't know what to do next. Maybe a quest or two.

I could use another memory stone so I don't have to keep swithing out
incantations but they look like they are in very tough areas and not a
whole lot of them are available in the game.

Hi,

Can I switch an Ashes of War from one weapon to another? What if I
find a better weapon than my starting sword?

Or is this what AoW duplication is for? Not sure how to do that yet.

If you haven't talked to the Finger Hunter under the bridge to the south
of the dragon near the beginning area, do so.

Yes. Though there's some weapons that you can't change the weapon
art on at all. Some of those can be pretty good.

> Or is this what AoW duplication is for? Not sure how to do that yet.

If you wanted the same weapon art on different weapons so you can
switch between them for different situations, or you didn't have more
than one of a particular type you wanted like blood and want to dual
wield.
