Hello people, hope you were doing good. This was the episode and I’m sure there are more that I had left behind. I didn’t want you guys to see the grind and fast forwarded to the boss fights but during the grind some story mission and scenes were present and I didn’t want to miss the opportunity to capture them.
Beginning
Here I was, at the Castle where the festival of taking down the great General took place. It took me some time to cross the battlefield where the normal soldiers and the dog-Rex were full on at war. I passed it all on the previous episode and the farm was on a huge scale, basically I was watching the battle and receiving the free runes. Also, when the fight would end and the dog-Rex were exterminated I would go back to the field and attract some and come back to the soldiers and vanish. Their fights began and I received the runes. It’s true that the runes were in low numbers but hey it was all for watching a grand battle. A show where I was being paid to watch XD. Prior to this I also fought 2 wolves just outside by the right of this area.
Anyhow, I reached the castle and entered the festival area. The announcer made the whole event lively. I approached the guy and he started to introduce Radahn to me.
The announcer began his story about the fallen general, how the guy was cursed to eternally roam the battlefield, scarlet rot had eaten his mind, and he fed on the dead bodies of this friends and enemies alike.
Honestly, he looked badass; understatement. The way the arrows stuck to his back and the way he gorged on the flesh of the dead, truly a mad man wanting someone to end his suffering.
The Right Way
I was on a call with my friends and these shits didn’t tell me how to reach the beach area, they only told that I had to go to the beach. For 14 minute I roamed the castle until I finally decided to see a video on how to get to the beach 🤦 and there I went to the other side.
I was relieved to see the boss, normally players would give the opposite reaction but I was glad to reach the right place. The initial arrows were troublesome but overtime I could dodge them all together.
The first time I trie staking him on a 1 on 1 fight. Of course I didn’t know his moves and his attack sequence. I was desperately trying to maintain a health of above half the bar. Didn’t make it far.
This was the winning moment after 30 minutes of hard work , basically the summons were keeping him busy and I on the further side was throwing dart. First, I had thrown 40 of my poison dart and the poison damage fu**ed him up real good. And to finish him off I took out my bone dart and that did the trick. Received a good 70k rune.
After the General’s death, a stream of star shower was witnessed by everyone present at the festival.
One star made an impact on the map and it was in the distance. Then, the whole area glowed. The explosion must’ve been massive. No wonder his name had Starscourge, a true statement about his position and stature.
The guy in the lion mask proclaimed that the general hid such a tremendous amount of power, a true legend who he had crossed blades with.
During this time I was a mere level 81. Just transcended to level 82.
Caelid was close to the battlefield of the Starscourge so I jumped in and roamed the area. Found one of these glowing trees. If you ever came across these you would know how annoying this experience is. A guy that walks at the pace of a snail. Though he did guide me to a good underground dungeon spot.
Then I worked my way through the meshed catacombs and collected as many purple glowing items as I didn’t want to spend too much time on it. Also, there was a hidden spot within. You have to jump to collapse the floor to reach a new ground.
This underground cavern opened to Limgrave. Such a huge underground area I must say…
It was hour 1:30:00. I decided to take the enemy that I had retreated from before. I always come back for revenge(in games) and here too I came back. The last time I was under-equipped and had low level weapon but this time I felt confident. I continued to struggle against this guy for a whole 2 hours… 2 hours of constant dying until I decided to give up once again. Such a suffering🥲.
It was at hour 3:40:00 when I decided that it was enough try for one day. I ventured into the area left of Limgrave called Liurnia of the lakes. Found some interesting animals along the way.
Just a little ahead from the grace and the study of Carian hall was reached. I decided as it was enough beating for the day.

Until next time, till then
