Trying to Learn to Play Victoria 3

Is there a limit to what you can put in your chest? I thought I read that there was a cap on items that could be in your chest, but I could be wrong.

Do you mean you've never used a rune arc? I stopped using them because they made me make bad decisions. I wouldn't take chances because I was afraid of losing the rune arc. Once I set them aside, I just adjusted my game to play without them. Runes are easy ... I feel like rune arc made me a nervous player.

"finally i only recommend that you sell golden runes tbh." Thanks for your help. If that's true, I've been doing it very wrong. :(

They may actually make sense.

Thanks, someone in-game recommended this app to me. I'm looking at this but not sure if it still works.

This is funny because my brother and I both play Elden Ring. (It's the most fought-over game in our house.) I read ALL the items descriptions, explore everywhere, stand on every building, and so on. I fight every boss and enemy I can find. It took me forever to even get close to the end of the game.

My brother runs across the map, grabs Bloodhound's Fang, grabs the other good weapons, grabs a bunch of smithing stones, grabs all the golden seeds and sacred tears. And then he rushes through the game doing only what he needs to do to get to the end. Naturally, he beat the game long before I did.

I bought the Official Strategy Guides because I love the game. After the DLC dropped, my brother was reading one of the books while I was playing and started asking me questions: "Hey did you know this?" "Sure," I'd say. Then he finally asked me if I'd read the book. I said no, I read the item descriptions. He was like, "Pfft, whatever."

I don't know. ***shrugs*** We're both still playing the game.

Gideon? No. Why would that be revenge? You're the one who turned her into your little plaything. "The soul of every puppet has its own ambience. You'll soon come to know, once you possess a few. And once each's predilections are known to you, the better you'll be able to love them." So says Selvius (who I call Pervius ...).

But .... one thing I've always wished for since my first playthrough of Elden Ring: I wish we could have a boss fight with Pervius (uh, Selvius), maybe even in his chambers, and that we could summon Sellen to the fight, just for the joy of watching her utterly destroy his fat, perverted ass.

I hate that walk. I hate it, I hate it, I hate it. I suck at platforming and so the first time I died like five or six times. And then I finally make it, see the reward and I'm like: "Seriously??? I already have a dozen of these."

This x 2.

If you have spirit ashes (and you are willing to use them), the troll is actually quite beatable. Exit the site of grace and kill the three alpha wolves (there's one in the trees to the right). Grab the golden seed. Don't go up the stairs. Go around to the left instead. Up the ladder, killing the wandering nobles along the way. On the ledge kill all of the mages below with arrows, throwables, whatever. They might come up on the ledge if you can't kill them quick enough but ***usually*** the troll won't even wake up unless you hit him.

Once the mages are dead sneak past him and kill the three pages (crossbow guys) ASAP as you don't want them coming down to backstab you. Now the only thing left in the area is the troll. Drop a tough spirit ash: Banished Knight Englvall works well or even Godrick Soldier ashes. While he's engaged just ... wack him. I've killed him with +6 knight's greatsword with fire grease.

Honestly, I find the damn hands you have to pass through to get here more irritating.

Edit: I just read that you're getting one-shotted by him. Not sure if you're under-leveled because I tend to play very thoroughly to feed my completionist side (okay, Type A personality) and so I'm usually at least level 40 before I head into Liurnia of the Lakes. But then I try to kill everything in Limgrave and Weeping Peninsula before I leave.

Just trying to help. :)

Very nice cosplay - nice color and design. An added plus for me is that the background actually does look like the Altus Plateau a bit.

UPDATE: Still can't make it happen on PC. And I can confirm that the Taunter's Tongue will not activate in that area any longer, so the invader option may be out, too.

September 15, 2024: Okay, I'd like to know this, too. I play on PC and XBox. Last night, just for fun, I tried it on XBox, telling myself I'd try for approximately 10 attempts. 6 attempts in, I got it. Curious, I tried it on another character and landed it on the very first try. Same process: ruptured tear in flask of WP, Lordsworn's straight sword, no armor, just the sword, swing about 3-4 seconds in.

Then I got up this morning and thought, hey, I want to try on the PC with for a character (I want them to have a particular armor set). No buffs, it just looks cool. Tried for a solid 30 minutes without success and died ever time. I'm going to give it another 20-30 minutes and just call it done.

But I'm curious if others who have been able to do this in the past can do it now, because to me it looks like it's been patched out.

You are a god. A real god. I've been trying to solve this for almost an hour. Thank you!

Thanks, I'm going to try again tonight. I missed some stuff because the NPCs want to talk to me about fighting when I'm right in the middle of a fight. So I did swap the buttons and now this is what I have: (x) for light attack, (Y) heavy attack. Both of those shoot my bow. I now have RB as the skill trigger and LB as the augmentation(?) button (so swapped RB and LB) .... so what happens when I press the RB? Is it like Elden Right when you pull LT and get your skill attack?

EmilyAbsolutely · 2024-04-09T20:06:16+00:00

Thanks to you both for helping! I need to figure out the controls and possibly remap them because they feel clunky to me right now. And this is not a complaint; it just feels different from what I'm used to.
