That's Mad Warrior Mask (very happy Prowlers drop, no belfry phantom grind for me!), Peasant set, Vessel Shield, ADP/DEX/Flynn/Blades rings. You can add Great Magic Weapon if you want to switch gear for a minute every attempt. I couldn't be bothered and I doubt it amounts to anything, but it's something to try.
Well my first full SL1 way back was basically just naked with a mace and no ADP. That was certainly memorable. So memorable that I will never fight double kitties on any character ever again! Though I did see a SL1 NG+7 double kitty vid that was pure beauty. Wish I still had a link, but I'm sure YouTube isn't hurting for SL1 vids to watch.
Same, I did SL1 two kitties naked with Rapier. Every single dodge was scary as hell.
I thought Emarrel was going to do a full SL1 NG+7 playthrough like he did with DeS and Souls 1 (that's where I got a lot of the strategies I used in my runs), but it's taking too long, maybe it won't happen.
Check out his channel on YT. He has a really great series of SL1 NG+7 videos for DeS and DkS1, the whole game with annotations. He edits/speeds up the boring stuff too, so the vids are pretty entertaining to watch.
I ended up doing a few things differently in mine, but as far as the equipment and routing, his videos were my biggest reference.
I actually had a game-freeze in a zelda game once. Pretty sure it was the only time I did something in a game of that quality that made it shut down. I tried to replicate it but never could. Sometimes weird crazy shit happens and you're like WOAH
So the basic ass spear in Dark Souls 2 is really good actually, having thrust/strike damage on a weapon is neat and really useful. Everything Lenigrast sells is actually very good and that kind of owns.
I've been messing with Dark Hand on NPC's and it's really dangerous. If you're not standing in the right spot, or if you do to much damage to them while trying to get them to stand then they aggro. I pissed of andre of astora and he nearly killed me so I ran. Then I pissed off Domnhall and had nowhere to run so I tried to use a homeward bone, but he kept hitting me during the animation, so I jumped to my death. Then I went to get absolution and realized that it's very expensive, and all my souls were gone. What a mess.
I don't really need any humanity. I was just using the dark hand because it was fun. The outcomes vary and I was curious.
I fought Lord Gwyn a few times, kicked my ass. Went back to the DLC and got killed surprisingly easy by one of those weak enemies in the oolacile township. Don't ever let one punch you in the back.
Thanks for telling me. I would have been upset about that for sure.
So I got the gold and dark silver tracer daggers. I read that the gold one confuses the enemy with light which then opens them up to be attacked by the silver one. Are these weapons regarded as any good, or...?
