using the dragon greatsword.. pretty much 1 shot most mobs (its +3). swings slow but the arc in front of you is hugeeee like 220+ degrees. the overhead slam is fairly quick by comparison. two handed strong attack does a powerful shockwave which can do upwards of 800 damage to a single target if it carries it. to bigger monsters it is just a ranged attack.

the latern can block
but it has like crazy low defense and resistance and reduction lol
e: i read it in the mini guide

Where should I go next?
I just beat the Gaping Dragon in Depths.

So far I have completed
Undead Burg,
Undead Parish,
and Depths.

I am SL30 and I went to Blight Town but the first couple enemies seemed much harder then any before. I was wondering if it was because I am not supposed to be there yet.

Where did you go next?

Yea I know it blocks but not alot. I still take a small chunk but better than full hit

what stats would you guys suggest for new thief im making, basically for pve/backstabbing, and what are some good armors/weapons? thx

nah, yorue ok to be there. i ran through that area around mid 20s on two different characters. just keep the height in mind and if you havent yet, get some practice on some backstabs. those big boys have quite a bit of health.

in blgiht town just lure the big fat black guys at the beginning to the start of the level climb up the ladder and go to the ledge on the side
they eventualy breka the barrels under it and walk off or fall of swining trying to hit u
u can do it for every1 down there at the beginning if u cant get the backstabs off

idk really.. im super tank mode. i imagine you want enough endo to keep whatever armor you wear as very fast movement.. and dex if you use a dex scaling weapon. with just enough str to use whatever you find. when i leveled up i saved all of the soul items i found and used them to lvl up when i got a new weapon.

suicide soon lol.. im at the two bosses @ anor londo and used up all my humanity -.- cant get more + cant get out of here seems like I have to remake my char

still learning the game ic
