I just go to Volcano Manor, what are things I should do in the area before Rykard? This is my first playthrough so try to keep advice simple for my tiny brain
The only thing you need to do really is explore, i cant think of anything specific but there should be random items you will find useful scattered around the area, just run around going wherever you havent so far.
Otherwise fight the godskin noble.
If you mean as in what should you do that you cant do after fighting rykard, talk to all the npcs and try to do all of their quests the whole way through. Some of them (maybe all of them) are gonna be unavailable after fighting him.
Oh alrighty. I'm not super focused on all the quests (personally think its dumb how unintuitive finding some of the npc's can be). I heard that doing the fire giant isn't possible after rykard idk if that's true or i misread information
No thats completely untrue, nothing stops you from doing fire giant
HOW TF DO I GET THERE?? I have literally no idea how I'm supposed to get to the mountains where he is
Well how far in the game are you? Like what was the last remembrance boss you beat
The last one was Radhan. I'm currently stuck trying to find a way through what I think is the capital but there's a broken elevator and a door that isn't opening
Wdym? Does it say you dont have enough great runes on the door? Like right after a tree sentinal boss?
Basically theres this boss you have to beat before using the elevator and melina will give you a medallion to use it. You shouldve used a different one on the first big elevator
Are u able to send a screenshot of where ur at
Not really but I just reached the royal capital lower city site of grace
You mean lower capital church?
yeah
Though i completely agree about how unintuitive npcs and quests are. Im on the dlc and i watched a video on them and apparently ive already messed up the main npc quests simply from exploring lol
Also before your fight with rykard don't forget the glitch to get a 2nd spear just because why not.
Wait what 2nd spear glitch?
The weapon they give you to use against Rykard theres a way to glitch and duplicate it. I did it my 1st played through was really fun dual wielding
Whatever you want but enjoy the fight. It’s one of the best in the base game visually not difficulty
Definitely do the volcano manor quests before fighting him!
