well there isn't any point in upgrading dex if you end up using a weapon that doesn't rely on dex lol.
dex isn't like the usual where it gets you higher damage for everything, some weapons scale on str.

but i would do more vita if you see yourself dying a lot, and endurance is always nice, but it caps out at 40, meaning your stamina bar won't increase anymore at that point, but your equip burden load will continue to go up.

as for upgrading equipment, it's really what you like, i can't force you to pick anything nor do i really want to suggest anything cause that might just limit what you'll want to use, but i can help give you advice on what you choose to use, or even if you pick a style i can give some recommendations that way, but the game is definitely more fun and aggravating not knowing too much haha


So the Drake Sword is not really a good way to go then, I suppose. It really does well where I am now, and I 1 hit the weaker mobs, but I need to look for something else soon if it does not work with dex.
Since it's my first playthrough I have no idea on what weapon I will end up using later in the game, but as for now the Drake Sword is certainly helpfull.

I am not asking you to choose for me, I just want to know what my options are :)

drake sword doesn't scale with anything so it's going to crap out on you really really fast.
do you like heavy weapons or light quick weapons.
do you like swords, spears, katanas, axes, halberds?

you should try the wiki to see what weapons are out there.

but yes, early on the drakes sword is really nice, though i find it ruins part of the game cause you end up relying on it too much and feel like crap when you realize it doesn't do enough.

for my 2nd playthrough i decided to get the claymore and went with that weapon.
my first playthrough i used the laito, but yea it's up to you, i can recommend weapons based on what you prefer/like

I pictured using a fast 1h weapon. Something like the scimitar I started with, which I guess is crap at this point. Doesn't really matter if it's a sword or something else.

well if you like your scimitar, you can upgrade it/reinforce it so it does more damage, your first blacksmith will help you upgrade those, and you can later upgrade it to fire/lightning/chaos enchantment too.
but yea, pick a weapon you like (attack moveset and possibly damage/scaling) and just go with it.

lol are you talking about pinwheel?
that guy is hella fun to kill haha, i killed him in 2 hits i believe in ng+ on my first char haha, hella funny boss to kill.

what level are you now? i just got my moonlight GS so i'll be leveling up now to use it.
we can co-op again whenever.
what haven't you done yet?
i pretty much did all the bosses except for 4 kings at level 27 lol, i only leveled up now cause i want to use moonlight (pumping int doesn't do anything...lol)



we can't help you there, we all play on ps3 here, we can only give you advice lol.
bell garg isn't that hard, you can most likely do it with just solaire helping you out

e: dang i need 2 more dragon scales for my +5 moonlight sword =/


lol, i want to try that eventually aswell.
im slvl 82 now.

i havent been playing the other character i started with u.

it goes to +5 on regular, then when you get large ember to +10, from there you can either go to +15 with another ember or go down an enchantment path or even go magic/raw or whatever else you want, but that's at different smiths.

i'm annoyed by seath, anyone want to help me cut off his tail or give me their moonlight sword if they aren't using it?
i'm level 31 haha


His tail won't come off unless you cut it really close to the tip, alot of people tried hacking at the base of the tail, it'll never come off.

After Bell G should I go to Darkroot Garden/Basin or no?  Ive been told to run allllll the way back to blighttown isntead

Adventuring, I found a shortcut to run to the bottom of the tower at the basin and  back through the castle.  Unfortunately, theres something there that I cant outrun and he one shots me lol.

Do I run all the way back (way of the bull and drake) ?


I would suggest Depths/Blighttown first. While Blighttown is a major pain in the ass, I feel like Darkroot Garden is aimed towards people who have cleared Blighttown (the mobs/bosses are a bit tougher in Darkroot).

And Depths is 10x easier than either of em, so it's basically a few free levels for ya. Just don't get cursed, or you will have to backtrack across the entire freakin game with half health.
