I did a katana build on my last playthrough but its looking like its the only option if I want to use spells too
Moonveil is different from a regular katana, has special magic buffs and attacks
Or just go staff only bc with carian slicer your staff changes into a magic sword that you can r1 spam and does great damage for crazy low fp cost
bro, did you beat draconic tree sentinel?
yeah a while back actually, he kicked my ass for a while tho. You just gotta learn to dodge perfectly because his lightning and fire are bs
just finished the capital, i actually thought draconic tree sentinel was harder than the other bosses in the city
now I’m doing volcano manor and I’m stuck at the snake lol, I tried leaving and leveling up but I’m still doing bad
Played Bloodborne when it came out but never finished it because it was too hard for me, might give it another go after I'm done with Elden
Got Demon's Souls recently cause I got a PS5 and I really like it (ain't beat it yet tho) although its harder than ER for me, I just hate that u gotta go through the same 30 enemies everytime u die and in ER u get a checkpoint before the boss so I really like it
Thats dope n i started out with BB initially too! BB is now my fav game of all time n what made me buy a PS4, n i ended up platinuming it n the DLC eventually. Then played DS3 when it came out, went back to play DS1 Remaster before Sekiro about a year or so, after Sekiro for the buildup to Elden Ring i then played DS2 Remaster for the first time, then replayed 1 n 3. I dont have a PS5 yet n got into the series too late so thats why i havent played the OG yet. I really want to tho
BB i got my ass whoop for the first quarter to half then it finally clicked, n Sekiro is the hardest of them all imo i still struggle with that game today mainly because i never been a good parrier, im a good dodger, but in that game you have to parry to break the enemies defenses especially the 2nd half bosses. Its basically mandatory on a fresh playthrough.
I would say im an above average souls player in the community in general (i cant do no hit run s*** tho lmao i just usually beat bosses under 10 tries), but in sekrio i get my ass straight whooped like a scrub no matter what until i brute force it 💀💀

I wrote n explained everything i could think of lmao hope it helps or is of some use in someway to u n others.
Ive only fought 3 main bosses so far, Margit, Goddrick n Wyrm but done a s***load of dungeons n optional bosses i cant even count anymore. 62 hours in, level 58.
🚨 STATS 🚨

Heres my stats atm (I leveled up twice after Noskella n havent played since so keep that in mind, i put the two levels into faith):
🚨 EQUIPMENT 🚨
🔥 Armor:
Champion Headband (decent phys protecrion n good magic protection, my starter helmet i just really like the way it looks)
Exile Chest (great phys protection)
Travelers Gloves (great element protection)
Exile Greaves (great phys protection n it matches everything)
🔥 Weapons i mainly use n switch between depending on situation:
Dragon Halbred (the one i use the most atm), Battle Hammer, Lordsworn Greatsword & Regalia of Eochalid Straight Sword.
Im working towards using the Magma Wyrm Great Curvedsword & Winged Scythe.
🔥 The spells i use the most atm:

Working towards a lot lmao.
🔥 The ranged weapons i use:
Longbow, Shortbow & Crepus' Black Key Crossbow.

Working towards Godslayer Seal.
🔥 Shields I use:
Beast Crest Heater Shield & Brass Shield
Working towards Manor Towershield.
🔥 Tailsmans i use n swap around:
Clarifying Horn Charm (boosts mana points), Erdtrees Favor (slight boost to hp, stam n equip load), Lance Tailsman (increases attack power while on horseback), Assassin's Crimson Dagger (restores some health when doing stealth critical attack and regular critical attacks) & then various tailmans depending on the sitiation that give resistances to magic, holy, poison etc. attacks.
🔥 Tools I use:
Exalted Flesh (increases attack power for a short time), Kukri knives (can cause bleed damage) & various greases but mainly Fire Grease.

Lone Wolf n Fanged Imp Ashes for crowds, Ancestral Follower n Spirit Jelleyfish for bosses.
🔥 Ash of wars I use so far:
Storm Blade, Sacred Blade, Quickstep, Wild Strikes, Carian Greatsword & Spinning Weapon for weapons.
Mighty Shot for bows.
Storm Wall for shields.
🚨 THAT IS ALL FOR NOW 🚨
I havent lost to a boss yet more than 8 times n i usually win 1 to 5 tries including main, open world n dungeons bosess so far
Any questions i'll try to answer as best as i can if anyone has any.
well yeah. certain weapons scale with/have either dexterity, int, or faith requirements. Arcane raises the rate of items dropped by enemies so you wanna have that around 15 to find good weapons and armor. and mind is useful cuz certain ash summons like Oleg require a higher FP amount than many classes start with.
Thank you. Might start diversifying
you used rock sling?
yeah, although I recommend getting the cerulean hidden tear to help you wipe bosses and azur comet (best spell to pair with hidden tear cause azur comet is a channel spell instead of casting)
Easy to get both of those before heading into the capital, azur comet is like 5 minute horse ride from where you first came into atlus plains
Was Ranella supposed to be the second main boss? Cause she was my third and she wasn’t even a challenge
Dragonkin second faze f***in me up
You talking bout the big ass dragon knight with lightning breath?
Yeah I made that nigga bleed to death
Could Margit stop Count Dooku-ing me man
You know you can go find a npc to help you. Plus there’s a key item that stuns him in his first phase

I did not know about the key item, thanks man
I beat Bloodborne solo and have nearly finished DS1 solo too, I can't bring myself to summon, I realise this is basically my own fault
