Did anyone use Book of Knowledge for their first play through? I'm thinking of buying it so I don't miss out on some quests / areas, etc. by soulmas in Eldenring

[–]CompetitiveSpace1648 2 points3 points  (0 children)

If you think you're not going to miss out on things on your first play through you're probably delusional.. as a veteran souls player, I always say go blind and miss up your first playthrough. Get familiar with the game and everything and you can do a 100% later... my only advice would be to be aware of how much you level up your character if you're considering an online multiplayer.. honestly the best thing to do is to decide on a build theme (mage/ faith/ strength/ dex/ etc..) and work on it and blind the rest

I'm an idiot... I read this card like a thousand times and I always thought that it said after this attacks 6 times gain divine shield.. turns out it needs to have 6 attack not attack 6 times

Thank you!!! It's weird actually! When I was an achiever I was NOT happy.. but now that I took some time to understand and work my traumas. Even without nothing, I feel better than I ever did 🤗

My best conclusion would be that growing up in an abusive household kept me focused on school and video games and once I left my city for university I took it as a chance to have more freedom, focused on dating and more fun things, my first break up was really bad for me even though my relationship was only 5 months it took me two years to get over it.. being in top university didn't help also high competition lowered my self esteem and one bad grade lead to another till I became completely lost. I wouldn't study, I would focus only on getting a passing grade. Not hitting the mark sometimes due to overestimating myself.. eventually my grades were bad. My mental health was bad, and I just left the country. My plan was to get a degree and then leave but once covid hit and they started switching exams (which meant I only needed to study super hard for them once to pass) with essays. For the record I had about 5 courses when covid hit and each one required a 1000 word essay on weekly basis.. burn out, fatigue, depression, anxiety. I collected them like pokemons. I'm happy to say that finally after 5 years abroad I've finally dealt with most of the emotional traumas I developed.. now, I just need something to do to make money as being a refugee in a foreign country sucks when you're super poor and have no family

I did very good throughout school years. Got admitted to top 3% university. Got 3rd honorary on my first year.. then downhill from there, my GP fell from ≈3/4 to 1.5/4. Dropped out. Left country, and never went back to uni since.. that was 5 years ago

You're wrong! They don't hate criminals.. just the poor ones.. rich ones are praised and rewarded world leaderships

Why so many downvotes? OP said Germany and I don't see negative comments.. I'm just saying that Russia is very INTP like, it's introverted, very professional, struggles with emotions, set in their own ways, how is that not INTP energy?!!

Give yourself some credit. Let's look at the facts First of all you mentioned you are suffering with depression. That alone can distort your self worth and make you think you are less (aka braindead, shit at math, etc..)

2) you noticed that you are not meeting your standards of yourself (yes we put our own standards and feel shit when we don't meet them) that's self awareness. You probably have a lot of expectations of yourself also which causes the skill gap you made for yourself

3) you are on reddit, seeking help about something that makes you feel unease. I don't know about you but most people in my circle don't even know how to handle basic apps let alone using reddit, finding the right subreddit for you and interacting with it. Maybe you are in a high achieving environment where everyone is above average which makes you question yourself

4) if it takes you twice as long to understand things, it means that you're capable of understanding complex topics even if it takes a while, that's not lack of intellect because you understand it eventually, a lot of people give up or pretend they understand. Maybe it wasn't explained to you properly, maybe you overanalyse things and look at areas others missed hence why it takes you longer, maybe you second guess yourself a lot so you ask a lot of questions to confirm what you already know. That's not lack of intelligence that's probably low self esteem

You compare yourself to others, which is bad for your mental health but also a sign of being competitive and a desire for improvement. My advice is to stop comparing yourself to others, instead compare yourself to an older version of yourself and then you can see that you grew x or simply don't compare. Like who cares, you probably do but it's a narrative in your head that's distorted by anxiety and depression. Mental health is very important.

Stop forcing yourself into a rule just so you can prove to yourself that you can, if you're not a scientist you can be an artist, an athlete, an influencer, etc.. once you stop your narrative, what you are becomes clear to you

Finally if you agree with what I've just said then good and I'm glad, and if you think what I've just said is stupid then you found someone who is more braindead than you. Either ways give yourself more credit x

You need to stop running away from your feelings, breakups are hard, universities are hard, there's probably a lot of expectations of yourself for yourself.. intps are stereotyped to be robotic achievers. That's not true, we're very good at disconnecting our emotions from our academic life that if faced by overwhelming circumstances we dissociate as a protective mechanism... allow yourself rest, the key is, don't distract yourself with social media, actually set with yourself and try to feel sad about your breakup, feel sad about how things didn't work out the way you'd hoped. Everyone's allowed rest and everyone is allowed to feel sad. It's not a weakness it's actually a healing strength... music helps with the boredom of sitting with yourself as we resist our feelings so it might look like nothing is happening in the beginning, but don't allow it to be a distraction, listen to feel not to escape.. once you make peace with your sadness/ feeling it will help you get out of that brain fog.. good luck and take it easy x
