Greetings people, hope all of you are doing good. Today, I met the pet guard of Godrick at the entrance of the Stormveil Castle. It was a nice experience, got him in my 2nd try.
I spawned in the last place I had left off, at the place of Weeping Evergaol. My friends had spooked me enough about not using the stonesword key and face the guy so I went to the unknown regions to discover more and possible maybe increase the amount of flash and hp/fp they restore.
This was the castle in the corner where I previously arrived once and was defeated by the npc here. I was outmatched and out skilled. The giant that roamed it’s border was a decent rune giver considering my low level, it was good for me.
The npc spawns here, the first time I didn’t understand why my horse went
This time however I was a bit more levelled up and had good weapons on me. Got him on my first try too! Well, second attempt but first face off. It gave me a Furlcalling finger remedy, don’t know it’s purpose yet.
Then I went up to the entrance of the place and collected the red finger with which people can play PvP matches in multiplayer mode. My friends did ask me to play a PvP but I do have the bare minimum knowledge🙂. People with level 90 and above usually play this to show dominance over their freshers mates.
The entrance of this dome shaped castle was sealed shut with a ghost on it’s porch. And so I went around and found some items in either direction until I saw that someone told that there was a treasure ahead. I didn’t think much and went ahead. Moments after I took this pic I fell down with over 6k rune on me🥲. I had almost completed circling the outside of this pillar. One thing was certain, there was NO DAMN treasure here.
To retrieve it all I had to *o through this guy again and to the edge of the pillar where my runes were kept, I successfully fetched it back and went for the big one, Stormveil Castle.
On my way to Stormveil, a pack of wolves had spawned behind me. I thought it was a mere howl of the wind but as soon as I turned I was otherwise. Took them out while riding
Random enemies on the way. The place where the mounted crossbow is kept. A dangerous area but got I dashed past it and into the castle.
The way they slowly introduced Margit, The Fell Omen was wicked! “Thy flame must be extinguished” the guy was looking hpdown hard on me.
The first time I tried and only got his health down to half. I ran out of bone darts. The second time I crafted more and used it more effectively. It was amazing how nicely he went down. The dart were a life saver as it reduced about 300hp!
Inside the castle, in the lower left chamber was this guy. He suggested me to enter the place from the left side. No guards were present that way and didn’t know that it had existed. I had a choice: wether go the direction he suggested or enter through the main gate. I didn’t reply and went from the side.
It was beautiful at first sight. No distractions and amazing scenery. But, there was a huge empty space that separated the route I was taking and the other where a purplish shiny stuff was glowing. I made my way to the other side.
A huge distance of fall was to be made, I for sure thought that I was dead as this sort of games like to take away your health whenever you make a mistake. Just look at the health reduction🥲.
As I started to go up I saw that a few birds were sitting, eating away from corpses. As I fought them I understood one things very clearly, they WILL be an annoying bunch from the gamers. More than mice. Dogs still ranks the highest in my books. I did learn how to take them down efficiently. Just jump and swing sword, knock them off air and finish the thing as a whole with a critical.
Found a grace on the other side of the place. Ungraded vigor and went to level 41.
Entered the place and boy was it hard. The first steps where you had to take a route with no railing and 3 enemies resided was a nut cracker. Died many times here… inside was also filled with enemies.
So well placed, beside walls so they couldn’t be seen although there were kind souls who warned before hand. I still got hit by those regardless of their warning😅. Ran through the place many times and did some unwanted farms on them just because of one guy.
This guy, killed me more times than the ones outside. Did an unwanted farming. It was so satisfactory that when I finally beat this sucker. Turns out, this guy was a normal enemy and would spawn back every time😐. I struggled against a normal foe in an enclosed area…
Then I roamed the place some more and thought that it was plenty for now. I still couldn’t find on how to take this shiny thing… tried to go everywhere. Only a part of exploring the castle was complete. I kept it here and would explore more on the next episode.

Enjoy the gameplay. Until next time,
