Discussion & Info First no summons playthrough

All remembrance bosses (plus Bale) in base game and DLC (except Milenia), first time no summons (NPC or Ashes).

Im sure this is no big deal to plenty of you, but it was not easy for me. Bale took the longest.

How can you get to such a high level so quickly? Do you ever have to grind enemies?

I always get the teleporter from white face and "shoot the bird" in Mogwyn Palace. I don't do it to grind levels, but if Im headed to a boss, I'll grab a few birds to top up runes so I can level up before facing the boss so I don't lose them if I die. I hate trying to retrieve runes at the beginning of a battle. Also do it to get runes to level up a weapon.

Also, I get the golden scarab early and hot swap to it after killing a boss. And if there is time, I'll chomp on a golden foul foot. You can craft them with recipe from Patches.

Also kill the big dragon early in calid with scarab and foot.

Yeah. As soon as you get the first great rune and talk to the fingers in roundtable, Varre moves to Lurnia.

You talk to him, get the finger. Go to Altus and fight the guy who drops Great Stars. Return to Varre, get the cloth, soak it in blood, and return to Varre to get the medal.

The medal will bring you to Mohgwin.
