📋 What Players Need (User Needs Analysis)
🎯 Clear Direction
New players are overwhelmed by the open world. They need a structured progression path — where to go first, what level to be, and which bosses are mandatory vs optional.
⚔️ Combat Mastery
Players struggle with boss patterns and timing. They need attack breakdowns, weakness exploitation, and phase-by-phase strategies with video-like clarity.
🛡️ Build Confidence
With hundreds of weapons, spells, and ashes of war, players need curated builds — stat distributions, gear loadouts, and early-game vs late-game scaling.
🗺️ Exploration Rewards
The Lands Between hides crucial items behind illusory walls and cliffside paths. Players need maps showing key item locations, Sites of Grace, and dungeon entrances.
💀 Death Recovery
Runes lost, frustration high. Players need farming spots, quick leveling routes, and "git gud" techniques that actually work — posture, roll timing, and spirit ash usage.
🔗 Co-op & PvP
Players want to summon friends or invade others. They need finger locations, level-range calculators, and meta-level recommendations for multiplayer.
