Thinking about starting a second playthrough but I can't decide what kind of build to go with. This is where it annoys me that certain weapons I'd like to try like ricards's and the twinblade aren't really viable due to low durability. First time through I was very dex focused though probably going to go with strength this time but I am also tempted by dual wielding.

Ah. I didn't like the idea of "scaling" but this sounds pretty cool.

Str w/ decent pyro stats. He just owns me with the dark orb when he splits and it's a pain in the ass to get to him every time I die

Can anyone confirm the moveset on the Sun Sword? Is it a longsword or broadsword?
Pyromancy or Miracle (Thunder) attacks do well. I killed it with like 4 or 5 shots of Sunlight Spear.

Are there any axes (not greataxes) with good scaling in this game?

The first thing I thought was to
use the flame quartz ring and flash sweat
you can avoid the flames by hiding behind the wall

#1.
Reasons: DS1 is amazing and is in no way made obsolete by the sequel. The stories are barely linked on the surface, but having played the first game, you will see the connections in the second, but in no way is it necessary to play them order. By the time you've finished the first game, the second will be out and you will be itching for more.

Option One.
no matter how much I think about this sentence, It just doesn't make any sense to me. Do you mean FINDING the souls? You are getting kicked out of the memory after a while. Just jump back in and explore the rest.
Wait, so you can redo the same boss fights twice with the Ascetic and it counts? I wasn't good against the Rotten.
What's the congregation?

Just after beating
and
, the game has been really solid so far. Consistently good, although not quite as spectacular as the beginning sequences of DS1. I am just entering
sequence and I am looooving the atmosphere. Will probably enjoy this more than the Depths/Blighttown sequence. If the end game really is as good as people say compared to the lazy end game of DS1 (although someone said you have to be psycho to like end game of DS2, so jury is still out I guess...), I think DS2 will be comparable to DS1 for me. That's super amazing that I could like a game as much as the first since that one blew my mind when I rented it on a whim the week it came out. Souls series freaking rocks.

What shield are you trying? The ones that specifically state they parry magic?
I respeced my hex caster slightly.
13ADP -> 8ADP
25ATT -> 30ATT
Fire Longsword + 10 -> Dark Longsword +10
And I got the Southern Ritual Band +2 by using an ascetic and killing
. I highly recommend this as a great use of an ascetic if you're a caster. The boss is still easy, you get a ton of souls, and the ring gives you three spell slots!
I don't miss my points in ADP at all. I have nearly the same agility I did before (since ATT also increases agility, just not as much), just slightly less poise and resistances.

i know we can approach the game from many angles but what is the suggested progression in terms of difficulty? I managed to struggle through the Ruin Sentinels/Lost Bastille and later realized I missed out on Heide's Tower of Flame and ended up beating the Dragonrider with ease.

Okay, so
is going to be fucking hard. Those little spiders kill me too fast. By the time I even get near her I'm already dead.

i mean feeding those things that opens the doors in drangleic castle, i have no idea whats it called
You can gow the normal route in which the game lists the areas via the bonfire warp menu.
Mejula => Things => Forest of Fallen Giants => Heide Tower => Cathedral => No-Mans Wharf....

Really? Those lil spiders go down in one hit each for me. Tried summoning for help?

if you summon the npc phantom it will take care of the spiders, just circle the boss and be aware of the lazor, that's the only thing that was annoying to me
I farmed them untill I got their full set. No, they should respawn infinitely. Just do the left statue first (to prevent the bug that rarely occurs) and then proceed to farm to your pleasure.
If you have a bow, you can also easily cheese her to death. She won't do anything but laz0r which you can easily strife
I've been cooping the shit out of this boss. I use scraps of life to kill some of them, but didn't even worry about killing all of them when I did it solo. Hit her in the face after she whiffs a normal attack and run straight to the other side and attack once you see the tell for the laser attack.
I also experienced a glitch where the boss fight triggered before I went through the fog door. I got killed with that laser outside the fog!
My concern is that I'll miss out on the zeitgeist of the second game by the time I've finished the first. I game maybe 1-2 hours a day at best and at that rate, it could be a good while before I can get around to the second title.
Color me psycho then, I thought the last third of the game had some of coolest areas and bosses of the entire game, maybe series.
