SL1 is not hard as you get to upgrade a weapon at least...Now SL1 no upgrades is another story LOL!
Seriously though, Demon's is much easier to SL1 than other games as the gimmick bosses are easier, there are no two or three stage bosses wit ridiculous amouts of health. This stuff all came in to try to falsely make bosses harder so that vets could still get challenged. For the most part the additions were stupid and lacked creativity iMO. Demon's was the only pure difficulty for boss design as no one had done this stuff before. Dark SOuls with O and S and artorias was really hard , but that was perhpas the last game FROM ever made that was ingeniously difficult for most bosses...many of the rest int he other games seemed cheap difficulty and adding ridiculousnesss rather than intelligent AI to have to overcome. Sekiro was just silly as it discludes 80% of the humans on earth who dont have fast hand eye necessary to do the final boss for example. I could do it, but why? It would have taken me at least 5 hours to learn the attacks for all three stages of the final boss. King Allant takes 20 minutes. He still punishes if you dont learn the attacks, but it doesnt take forever to learn him and do a SL1 even.
Even though I did this level a hundered times in the old days, and was able to run to the boss speed run style, it still hit me hard upon return here in the remake. Only took a few hours to get it back to cake. Using a bow to separate the enemies on the ledge with thief ring, run away then back stab or run by (they face the other way when they walk back to their spot); then learning the timing for the laser guys enough that you can push the first reaper down the shaft, and then just running by the last one (might have to time a roll to avoid maigc blast).....cake. Run to the boss in <2 minutes? It helps to have the dark silver shield from 5-3, but the Rune shield is good enough to block the laser guys, but you dont need a shield as there is a safe spot on the first laser guy to the rigth along the wall as long as you are rigth up close to him. Then just run by him, the next one is easy to run by and push the reaper off the cliff. The last reaper may require a roll to avoid his magic shot...in the old days it occurred at the exact same spot and could be timed...lately it just seemed blind luck whether I made the roll at the rigth time or not so I just dodged all over and rolled a lot LOL. Died 2 out of 5 I would say with that method LOL.
The one roll skelly on top of the bridge can be range cheesed with theif ring easier than the two gold ones on the ledge...its easy to fall off the ledge going the long way even with theif ring and once you know how to roll the shortcut way it becomes a one or two try type of deal, not a 4 or 5.
Only certain weapons can be buffed. Usually if has its own magic or fire damage you cant buff it. There are a few exceptions like blueblood sword for example. Awesome buffable weapons include the dragon bone smasher, meat clever, mirdan hammer, great sword.....once you start upgrading down specialty paths I think even sharp or crushing etc then you cant buff as you are already getting a special bonus for the special upgrade path.HELP!!!!
Why can't I use the resin with the weapons?
When I use a resin, the gentleman puts his hand back and makes a gesture of "surprised" as if he did not have it or as if he could not use it. Do you know what this could be due to? I'm level 30 and haven't managed to use any resin yet.
Thanks in advance.
Its likely your aura from wearing a ring, getting mana or health regen from a blessed or crescent weapon, or using a miracle etc.
