  • May I offer some unsolicited advice.

    1. Your damage output is as important if not more important than “getting gud”. The more damage you do, the fewer attacks you have to dodge. That’s kind of the secret to all these Souls games.

    2. Damage and damage mitigation come from stacking many many small, incremental bonuses and upgrades. The most important upgrade for damage is upgrading your weapon with ores. Pick one weapon (eg. Longsword) and invest all ores into it.

    3. It’s possible to suicide-run into dangerous areas for upgrade and powerful items since you don’t lose items that you’ve picked up upon death. You can collect mid and high-tier ores this way even at low level.

    4. It’s perfectly okay to farm exp from higher level, non-bosses. It’s low risk since you’ll be near a rest site. A good example is killing Vulgar Militiamen from the Farum Greatbridge site in the most northeast area of Caelid. You can horse yourself there ignoring everything.

    5. If you’re still having trouble, do each step in the following video as you feel comfortable. https://youtu.be/GYI5Z3jhKB4
