Well... I'm going to start a DS1 run...My first in like... Four years? Last time I brushed it off was for the DLC. Anyway, given I'm garbage at these games and only barely scraped by in DS3 with my tank build, I'm open to suggestions for builds and equipment for the run. My first PC as I recall from end game SL and the like was mainly a strength, endurance and vitality build. Finished the game around SL 96 or so...And had a massive pool of stamina, health, and could do medium rolls in nearly full armor. ;_; Being able to one hand the black knight great sword for the first time was probably the happiest I ever got in the game. It was an early bit of luck truthfully, it made carving through most bosses pretty easy once I memorized patterns and stupidity of the AI. Plus I'm trash at counters so having a style that just had me wait for them to make mistakes or overextend worked very well. Anyway... Just figured I'd farm for advice, tips and tricks. Beyond the whole stock standard, get the drake sword early, the rolling soul glitch and etc. I learned that myself ages ago. 1. Go dex. 2. Kill undead merchant for Uchigatana. 3. ??? 4. Profit.

Get all the way to Nito's tomb early level? Huh...I guess it's possible. With a bit of luck and a lot of running and screaming. Preferably naked running and screaming. Speed will help your survivability a lot more than armor. This is a video tutorial on how to do it.

Check your corners. Watch your stamina. Don't rush or panic. The game is designed to punish haphazard decision-making. Don't get greedy. One extra hit on that boss isn't worth >1/2 your health. Use a bow to pull enemies one at a time and take out troublesome enemies. Don't carry more than twice the number of souls you need to get the next level. Circle strafe and backstab, backstab, backstab.
...and git gud.
Also an alternative to the Drake Sword if you want to be a badass is to get the Gravelord Greatsword. You can make a run for it right at the start and with the warrior starting class and 3 levels, you can wield it (two-handed) pretty much right away. Alternatively you could get the Zweihander in the graveyard. If you don't want to deal with a tomb run.

Zweihander is better in the long run, but with the Gravelord sword, you can keep just 16/13 str/dex for most of the game and pump up your utility stats while still dealing out massive damage.
I should mention that running to get the Wolf Ring is a worthy investment if you're going for either Zwei or Gravelord as you'll want to be able to power through hits while still keeping a decent equip load, which is hard to do given their weights.

Yeah that's true. My tower shield and great sword and armor basically made me slug if I remember right. But God help you if I connected.

Is it better than the Laito you run into in blight town? Yes. Hmm. Never did a dex build before, it seems like it'd probably take forever to be able to rapidly deal death and all.

Practically every boss was weak to it. You could do a quality build. 40 str ------------ If you want to one-hand 40 dex or 27 str ------------ If you plan to only two-hand your weapons. 40 dex Turns the claymore, halberd, lucern, and estoc into really good weapons. Lucern in particular can become really OP. I actually think lucern combined with the Leo Ring and the Power Within pyromancy is the strongest set up in the game.

Because we all know we stopped for a moment and stared at it the first time we saw it. Tail lust is completely normal in Dark Souls.

So you just let her rot in that dead world filled with the corrupt and insane? Fair enough I suppose, I'd be a hypocrite if I said I didn't understand the mentality of not killing #bestwaifuinDS
Though I personally find the...affection she got back in the day from the fan base to be sort of weird, I mean its like folks forget that you are Undead, the genitals don't work anymore. Even in "human" form all that is just an illusion of whom you were prior to getting the Dark Sign. Beneath the veneer there is rot and bone and not much else. Just pretty much anything in DS, anything beautiful is hiding something beneath the facade.

...Plus's she's erm...a lot bigger then the PC.
So even if you had functioning genitalia, it really wouldn't make much difference to begin with.
It'd be like trying to fuck an Elephant.

I also had a lore reason as well but my last playthrough of DS1 was 3/4 years ago and I've forgotten a lot. Especially a lot of the stuff regarding the Painted World and her. ''Even in "human" form all that is just an illusion of whom you were prior to getting the Dark Sign.'' Is it just an illusionary trick though? Yeah your still Undead but I've always assumed as long as you're in human form everything would work like normal.

So you just were like alright, she asked me to leave and I leave? To give an overly complicated subject a fairly short answer... Restoring humanity isn't reviving you but empowering you to drive away the hunger and madness that plague undead under the influence of the Dark Sign and the corruption of the Abyss and vice versa, its ultimately the same thing but differing sources. So I am unsure, I don't think it ever got covered in any real detail if you are technically "alive" in that form.

But that scrawny barely six foot ass they got depicted in game? Hah! I presume you have had sex, I presume you understand the whole frame of motions you do in the course of sex.

The first time I played through yes. Second time through I killed her then felt bad. After learning more about the lore surrounding her and the Painted World I stopped killing her. 'I don't think it ever got covered in any real detail if you are technically "alive" in that form.'' It didn't. I also never thought about this until now. Might look up the old lore videos and see if anyone goes into detail.

Edit: Never mind I just looked her back up. She is much bigger than I remember, it would never work. I concede to you masterwarderz

You mean her waist if that? *compares her height to other creatures* Now say if she was infested Barbarian size, I'd concede it could be done and even be enjoyable to some extent presuming that erm, that body part works as intended and isn't some thing with teeth and scales. ._. I just don't see it. Not with the size of the PC and without it basically being a masturbation session rather then sex.
