I found Sinner's Road but I ended up just beating the Last Judge. She's really not that tough once you figure out her moves and when you can and can't go in and hit her. Once I realized I can't rush it and was taking my time, it became much easier.

Ah, well I guess it's too late now... I got to the boss from the secret entrance. Apparently defeating it drops you right past where the Last Judge is.

I wrapped up Silk Song this evening and made it to the post-game Act 3. My completion time was 54 hours and I believe I got all the bosses except 1 I hadn't defeated yet, but I am pretty sure I can still go back and get him.

Such a great game!

Interesting that only 54 hours. I am at 51 and still haven't fully explored Bilewater yet, let alone defeated any bosses in there. And I only have one of the melodies.

I believe I read that there are Act 3 exclusive bosses...

I thought 54 hours was a lot too. I definitely was not rushing and basically trying to 100% what I could before going to Act 3, aside from the one boss in the Slab that I didn't defeat. I believe I did everything else EXCEPT I think I have missed some spool upgrades as well as some of the craft metals.

It's just amazing how many secret areas there are to explore and find, and when you think you have found it all, you come across an entirely new area that needs it's own map. It's just such an awesome game.

Hey guys! Quick question, if I may.

I've run out of storage space and planning to add another SSD. While I've never opened up or messed with a console's internals, I have been building gaming PCs since my teenage years. I'm assuming, it's just as simple?

Oh, also, any recommendations on which SSD? Would I neat a heat-sink on it?

Thanks!

No interest in just an external drive to give you additional storage?

Oh wow, hadn't occurred to me. Yeah, this would work nicely. So, just pick up any external SSD and just plug it in? That's it?

I have done this a few time. Its pretty simple, there are tons of good videos on the subject. Make sure you get an NVME 4.0 drive. I personally use this one: https://www.amazon.com/WD_BLACK-SN8...1761763120&sprefix=wd+nvme,aps,99&sr=8-3&th=1

I am planning on getting the 8TB one as my PS5 Pros 6 TB (2 internal and 4 in the NVME slot) is maxed out and the external 4TB usb drive wont install PS5 games and is maxed out on PS4 games as well. Waiting for the 8TBs price to come down. Maybe during a black Friday sale.

You can't play PS5 games from a USB drive, if that's what you want to do.

Ok, thanks! Yeah, ah, I'm gonna need PS5 game storage. I'm kind'a surprised how quickly I filled up my storage space.

Dude, I filled up 10TB so far. These games are MASSIVE sometimes.

I never really paid attention and just assumed they were around 50GB - 100GB, at most. I only have around 6 or 7 games installed and notice I'm down to 50 GBs.

Yeah, maybe should pick up at least a 4GB SSD.

Definitely get one with a heat sink.

Oh wow I wasn't aware of that. Thanks.

EDIT:

I was just reading you can transfer games to external, then delete em from your PS5 to clear up space, however if you want to play them again, you have to move it back. I am guessing it has to do with the speed of data access or something?

Yep. All about speed. Hell, a game load of Eldenring on my laptop takes eons compared to a load on the PS5. Imaging loading a several GB save file from a slowass USB drive.
