It is unforgiving in that you will die when you mess up, but since he was 1 shotting me before, it didn't make a difference. I found that easier than trying to backstab since the fight always went down the same way. I stood there until he tried to attack, parry, repeat. Never attempt to get extra hits in, just wait for the next attack. You can help yourself out by equipping a smaller shield to increase the parry timing window as well. Good luck, that ring is worth it! | ||

If you're blocked, watch a video like this one The guy with the wall I talk about is at 5mn40 in the video. Thats exactly what I meant. How are you supposed to know that? | ||

And basically, don't hoard souls. There is no point to doing so, and you will get incredibly annoyed if you lose 200k souls. Generally, you can usually just go back and get souls if an area is too hard for you or you really want to buy x right now. And beating the game at SL 1 is probably not what you should be shooting for on your first run. As a midterm plan, i'd suggest getting rid of the Drakesword and getting a real weapon instead. One important notice here: Unique items are not better then basic items. The main factor is how much you upgraded the weapon. So pick one you like the moveset of, and get it as high as possible. | ||

I am following a dex based pyromancer build. Currently I have +15 flame and Iron Flesh. Using drake sword atm. I also have the black knight greatsword but I can't use it. Thank you! edit: I have 200k souls to spend. should I save them, level up, or buy a bunch of stuff? If you play the game up to that point without dying and not wasting too much souls you would be around level 28-33. I have +15 flame, I have 200k souls to spend Where the hell have you been farming? :D | ||

Where the hell have you been farming? :D im farming 4 NPCs that are in a forest area. They fall off the cliff if you get them to chase you! I know it is cheap but I wanted the +15 flame after hearing that the pyro seller will go away forever after I beat blighttown. Btw, I am confused about what weapon I should use. I am dex based build with little str. I have the drake sword and it does 200 damage. It is currently the most powerful one that I can fully use. But people are telling me to go for Uchiganata or the Claymore (I have both). However, they do a ALOT less damage than my drake. So I do not understand when people tell me to switch weapons. Thank you! | ||

The uchigatana has excellent dexterity scaling and gets better with upgrades, while eventually the drake sword will start to become weaker relative to the uchi because it lacks any sort of stat scaling. So basically its because the uchigatana has much higher damage potential overall, but theres not much point using it until you have an appropriate amount of dexterity and the uchi has been upgraded sufficiently. | ||

So I guess I will keep my drake for a bit longer until I can upgrade my other weapons. | ||
