Spoiler:

in particular, the whole South Island. Just hadn't spotted the bridge on my map it fine that direction. Got to the lion boss and dinner other bits but plenty more to do even just there...

I also now seem to be wielding six stone key things. Been past one for ages ago but can't remember where... but hopefully useful stock for later! Gonna keep on this but cos I'm vaguely the right level for it, then the other castle boss...

I missed that too!  When I did eventually find it I was a little overlevelled for that area, but it was a nice change after struggling elsewhere.  

It's a huge and consistently great map.  I keep waiting to come across a shit bit but it hasn't happened.

How did you get there? There's a whole quest line that

teleports you to the room behind the big bird dragon thing, and it doesn't attack if you leave it alone.

I found a

It's probably the same way I got there. But I was told how to get there after

Is Castle Morne supposed to be main part of game or side quest? Cos it was way too easy and not much happened. Got a great weapon though.

I wandered all over the place properly for the first time last night and had some wonderful sights and scary moments. Still haven’t done the first boss but only tried twice and was lower level than I am now. Strength is up, weapon is upgraded as much as I can. Maybe a bit more stamina and I’m good to go me thinks.

fixed that for me

also castle morne has a great example of the unhelpful nonsense From seem to delight in - not resetting the lift at the grace sight. I wasn't even silly enough to accidentally fall in the shaft, just bored and frustrated having to call it each time (and usually triggering a message first since people spammed them all around the lever).
I am getting into the game and getting enjoyment from it, but i do worry some of you have been in this abusive from relationship so long that you don't mind the odd punch in the ribs so long as it keeps bringing you flowers and telling you it loves you really but you deserved it.

Help. I’m down the well. 

So victoire, onto the next

One of those where there's two phases and the first one is easy once you know how, but still takes a while. And for no reason at all there isn't a Marika statue outside the room, so we're back to the old days of having to run there every time. Seems like a winnable fight otherwise, but stuff like this makes it a pain.

Done. Wolves to the rescue again.

Cheers

Yes. You make it happen. Can provide more clue if needed

Spoiler:

Let me guess, it's like ashes in Dark Souls 3 - give 'em to the hub merchant and the stock gets updated. But yes please, tell me who I'll need to kill to make it happen.

It’s a-maze-ing. See what I did there? SEE?!
