You can farm the spear golems in Drangleic Castle for slabs. Got quite a few of them even without the gold serpent ring.

Well that's because he made the strategy guide for the game. He knows everything about it.

It's a rare drop, but you can also get the
Berserker Blade, the second strongest katana in the game in pure damage,
Iron Keep
Spoilers for how to obtain it:
After the Smelter Demon there's a path with two turtle armor dudes leading to a big area with lava at the bottom. Immediately to your left there is a door. Go in and use a Pharros' Lockstone. The path it reveals leads to Belfry Sol, and an NPC to join the Bell Guardian covenant. Join them, then put yourself in offline mode (to prevent 12,000,000 gankers from invading you).
Go in and kill the mobs, then proceed to the end of the outdoor area and look left. If you see a Black Phantom with two katana, bump him off. He rarely drops the sword along with his Mad Warrior armor set. If he doesn't drop it, run back to the bonfire and repeat. He never goes extinct like other mobs in this game, so you can keep trying to spawn him (about 1/10 chance he appears) until you get what you want.

are you fucking serious
ENB has probably played it for like 300 hours so he makes it look easy, and many of the early bosses are pushovers. Imo though this is at least as hard as the other games.

Where can I find Large Titanite shards? I can grind for chunks in the bell tower, but I can't seem to find too many of these shards.
Farm smooth and silky stones. They have a chance to trade for a slab. You can also obtain several in the game via covenants and chests.
follow huntsmans copse pathway until iron fort, early in the iron fort in the lava room with the furnace thing, there's a platform you can jump to under an archer that has an ember. get the ember and bring it to the blacksmith in Bastille, he's behind a wall you can break with a barrel. Give him the ember and he'll sell unlimited large shards.

Yup, got like 3 slabs off them while just dying trying to progress.I guess with the right farming gear it should be even easier.

Certain vendors will sell you infinite large titanite shards for 2.5K souls a piece.

Yeah, that's what I was hoping. The Dragonslayer boss in particular was a joke.

Who, where, and when? I have a feeling I'm taking all these different routes so when I do manage to find them it'll be too late to really matter. And my swords are in desperate need of some upgrading.
Edit
Ah, missed this post. Thank you!

How would I farm for smooth and silky stones?
You can aim crossbows in first person if you press l1 when it's two handed
Some of the bosses are really just the equivalent of mini-bosses. I think most of the mid-level bosses would have been better if they were just chilling out in the world and didn't respawn (giving similar rewards of course). There are, of course, some notable exceptions but I think that would cut down on some of the disconnect between boss difficulty and make the world a bit more exciting.
Iron Keep.
It's in the large area with the bridge you need to lower. If you're standing on the bridge, look toward the way you came in and you should see it on a ledge you have to jump to.
Small soapstone. Pick an area.

I think you can get them after being summoned.
Sweet. Thank you.

RAAAARGH! THESE FUCKING GUYS! The guys in

I beat the shit out of
Am I doing this right or did I miss something?
the giant in the Forest of Giants or whatever it's called. After that I met a dead end at a door saying I need some king of "king symbol". So now I went to Heide's and I just arrived at Lost Bastille.
Yep they are a huge pain as you never know how many swing they're gonna take, and they can take a LOT. Easy to run past though...

Probably doesn't count, but I started a new character with double caestuses and used the npc summon for this fight and he pretty much annihilated those guys with soul spears. O.O
Small soapstone will summon you to pve in someone's world. Defeat some enemies and you will fulfill your duty and get a smooth and silky stone as a reward. It is super easy. Shrine of Amara, Iron Keep, etc. are great places if you are high level.

LMFAO, mirror knight boss battle is NOTHING like what the demo was shown 3 month ago.
WTF happened?

So im thinking I wanna rock a zweihander once I get my grubby little hands on it. It was an absolute beast in DS1, how is it now? Is there a different greatsword/ultra greatsword I should be focusing on instead?
Your ok. That's the way I've progressed thus far and I haven't felt like I'm underleveled or I don't do enough damage.

It takes 15-20 minutes to get summoned right before boss fights. That's not good.
Really, change the system FROM. That's just stupid.

Jeez, that's really useful. I feel dumb for not using the small one all this time.
You should be able to just go first person with crossbows normally, just two hand it.
The binocular is the only option for spells though, yeah.

I've heard they scale to your lowest stat.
So without any further spoilers, do those greenish doors with dragons carved on them in
ever open? There are two sets behind the entry room, and another set on one of the terraces by a ladder that leads to 3 archers. There are no interaction queues so I suspect not, but you never know.

They seem to just make the weapon shittier but that can't be it, right?

Looks to me like it evens out str and dex scaling. Kinda like the quality upgrade path in Demon's Souls. It's pretty useless generally if you ask me since there are enough quality weapons as it is.
They are the SL1 material. They scale with the lowest stat so it is a upgrade for people that like to be a jack of all trades. There is a nice breakdown if you google it.
Yeah I got them solo. Not difficult when you don't have to charge them
(used my staff for the entire fight)
