Gear:

• Tseldora Set
  
• Rapier +10
  
• Staff of Wisdom +5
  
• Iron Parma
  
• Short Bow

Rings: Whatever I need at the time. Cloranthy Ring, Ring of Blades and Covetous Silver Serpent Ring most of the time. Especially the Covetous ring which I used ALL the time until video #28. Silvercat Ring and King's Ring for specific stuff, or when I forgot to replace them. Lol.

As you can notice, I didn't care much about HP in the beginning, because its not as useful as you would think.

Got 64 INT to be able to use the Soul Geyser, and did not care about faith.

Then, I killed that Giant Lord Boss more than 200 times I think (which I dont recommend you to do). I wanted to get to max level for fun, but I gave up in the middle of the process because I got bored. That's when I realized I should show more content and the alternate ending instead of losing time leveling to get 99 in stats I dont really need.

The main reason I think you should not power level like this is because you're not able to interact with other players online, since most of them are around lvl 150 ~ 200. I wanted to get max level just for fun but it's not worth it. Believe me (especially because it's incredibly boring).

So, from video #29 and on, my stats were these:


I leveled more or less until 1 Giant Lord Kill = 1 level. Then I stopped. No way I would kill him more than 1 time for level with like 300+ levels to go. I would need to kill him like 1000 times... no way. With the Covetous +2 ring and Tseldora set he will give you around 500k souls each time.

As you can see I leveled adaptability to 38 because I wanted around 110 agility. Since attunement helps with that you don't need to go any further than 38 adaptability to get it.

The reason for 94 attunement is to help with agility and to give me max casts.

Vitality: Just enough to fast roll with the Greatsword and Gyrm Greatshield.

Word of advice: Just level enough to use the equipment you need and upgrade it to the max. If you need more damage, go level the main weapon stat to 40. No point going for more. Then, spend points in adaptability and endurance. Adaptability is the most useful stat IMO, because it boosts your agility, which gives you more invincibility frames when you roll, and faster healing. For vitality, just enough to fast roll with your equipment. Then you should be set at lower levels. Don't power level as I did, it's not worth it.


Gear:

• Greatsword +10 - Bought it from the bodyless head in shaded woods. You can get it in No Man's Whaf for free if you care enough. It's not as good as some other weapons, but it sure looks badass;
  
• Gyrm Greatshield: It's damn ugly but it gives you 100% fire def, which is awesome.
  
• Armor: Imported pants and gloves only. I don't care about armor, so I chose something cool. Keep Tseldora if you need souls or some heavy armor if you don't care about mobility, but you shouldn't care much about armor. Just roll away from stuff and keep a greatshield nearby and you're good.
  
• Same bow and same Staff.

Rings: Started using the Ring of Giants +2 from the Giant Lord (intensity 2 and above) for some more poise.

Now, to the guide =)
