That IS NOT the rarest weapon. It's guaranteed as long as you do Volcano Maner. You can literally get this EVERY play through. The Noble estoc or Noble straight sword are the rarest weapon with 0.4% drop rate.
Mario, of Super Mario fame, was named after famous race car driver Mario Andretti. Oh... wait, no, he wasn't. Sometimes, things just have the same name.
You're so close to being able to get the somber 7 at volcano manner without killing a boss. The only one you have to is godskin. To the people who don't know, you can completely skip margit amd godrick in the beginning and just go straight to leurnia. Yes you'd have to go back to progress through the story correctly, I just find it interesting that if you want to,the first boss you can fight is red wolf
Actually u can get plenty of somber 7 in the hailgtree granted that’s late n the game but I got about 50 right now just doing ruin farming by the prayer room
I can't play mor than an hour due my work schedule so i use trainer to multiply my runes its not cheating 😅 i really dont have time to play and i keep it fair i dont over do it
I'm assuming it's because that's not what Miyazaki intended. Going all the way to the capital at the start isn't exactly intended, but freedom of choice ig
To...gate upgrades behind late-game boss battles while still making players feel accomplished for finding 8's and 9's early in the game if they're willing to look?
I do t think there is a specific reason other than they just didnt plan these things, i think the devs care more about level design and boss design since they are the best looking part of the game.
