Have you started your next run through yet?

Yes, I started on Tuesday night. Everything is about twice the runes and not about 15% more everything on their stats. I am to the point where everything is costing like 720,000 per point with very little return. My observations:

1. Once you hit the capital, the gold soldiers become mini tanks. They can take a licking and keep on ticking;
2. Black knife Assassins are much harder, they are not faster, but take a lot more to defeat them;
3. Stormveil was a push over, completed in a couple of hours including blowing all bosses and mini-bosses;
4. I did not kill the big white dragon this time around, but I killed all her attendants, I was going to leave her alone, but, she dies when they all die;
5. The Bloodhound Knights are faster and better;
6. Crucible Knights once you hit the capital city are worse, much worse;
7. Rune bears are like chopping down a tree with a butter knife now;

Bosses that have given me trouble;
1. Margott the Omen King (he and I did a dual kill, he hit me and I hit him and we both died at the same time)
2. Mohg, Lord of Blood is much harder, but this time I beat him without my son's help, one-on-one.


Radahn is whats for dinner tonight.

Another change is I now have activated my blue ring and I am answering summons to assist other players with invaders. It is a pretty neat system until you keep getting summoned to host who are hidden and rune farming. I am not into the PVP stuff to much, but when I get into fights I am making kills about 55% of the time.

Although, I did not realize people could chat message me via Xbox. I am not sure how they are finding me, but when I make some kills I am getting nastygrams. Wonder if they would be more ashamed knowing some 50 year old in a lazyboy who has only started playing games two months ago is smoking them...
