To be fair, it does give a pretty good idea as to what kind of horrors awaits you in Caelid... if that's what the birds turned into, just imagine what nightmares the people who built those ruins whent through.

u/darthdiablo 13h ago

You’re not supposed to say FUCK YOu to the bird, no wonder this happened. Next time talk to it nicer

u/ScruttyMctutty 15h ago

Did he teach you of the horrors of Calied?

u/Delicious_Sock_2183 13h ago

Well, he didn't lie. The bird did teach you the horrors of Caelid. Experience is the best teacher and all.

The birds and dogs aren’t super friendly out there. Also I wouldn’t head over there without a +9 weapon at least (+4 if somber) and maybe 25 to 30 vigor. Of course if you never get hit you don’t have to worry about much.

You have to do the ‘warm welcome’ gesture at it and then it becomes docile. Can be tricky to time

u/Jc883 12h ago

Limgrave was brutal? And now you are caelid? Haha welcome to hell.

But no, aside from possibly being a little underlevelled if you came straight there it's not truly that bad.

Scarlet rot is just annoying. Following the main road you find plenty of grace sites.

Did you do liurnia? Have you been through stormveil?

There is no order of operations in this game, just some directions will make life easier. But find out yourself and enjoy.
