    • well, I actually win against him using the raw broadsword +10 and some buffs, the prisioner ring (it gives you +5life, stamina and vitality), ring of steel protection, estus ring and the lightning defense ring, also the plus of life of being human. It was a test of patience since I didn't do much damage against the nameless king in its 2º form. But at least I could resist 2 attacks (except for the one that makes a lightning fall from the sky)

(Miracle+Spear phase is LIQUID RAGE!) Nameless King is a decent fight, but all the hype surrounding his difficulty is overblown. He's not _that_ hard. He lives up to the title of "Fume Knight 2.0", because he doesn't variable delay his attacks, or change up his move sets on the fly, he just hits REALLY hard!

  • Possible optimization : Farm for warden twinblades. You can use them from the same point onwarda as the dragonslayer axe(which you really only need for NK phase 1 and Midir). Infuse with sharp, buff with carthus rouge. L1 spam your way to victory. The winblades with this setup stack over 100 bleed per L1 (only around 90 with blood infusion + less physical damage and no resin) It makes a lot of the endgame bosses bearable or even a joke. Oceiros, demon prince, NK phase 2, Friede Phase 2, the gravetender wolf and twin princes all get mushed to absolute bits. They even make SoC somewhat bearable which for me still is tied with Midir for the hardest fight in a SL1 run. Your DPS goes through the roof. AND on top of all that you can buff them with poison for Gael which is a godsent. Only problem left to solve is Midir. He's immune to bleed, which sucks. All in all they are making your late game life so much easier, it's a crime not to spend the 5 minutes to farm them in the cathedral.

The only one that can one-shot you is his high-jump attack in phase 2, while his various charges and sweeps will leave you with a sliver of health.

I blazed through the first part of the game, and Chained Ogre was the 3rd boss I killed, but the first two don't really count because they were just the dipshit mini boss generals. I died on my first attempt to a gank by all four of the enemies in the arena, but on the second attempt I cleared out the first two enemies (but forgot the spear guy lol) and then fought the big oaf. Step dodged every single one of his attacks and didn't get hit in the entire fight. I was so proud of my self. I'm not the one to normally do that type of stuff too. I'm just really glad I recorded it.

What I would add from my SL1 run: In the painted world, also loot: - Millwood Battle Axe - does good damage when infused with Heavy gem, and two-handed with Knight's Ring (if you like the moveset) - Ethereal Oak Shield, for the early health regen, especially good with Lloyd's Shield Ring Don't forget another Undead Bone Shard in the Demon Ruins. Get 100% physical block shield for Oceiros, not the grass one, Ethereal Oak Shield is an option, you just need to run for the Knight's Ring to wield it. On Champion Gundyr, you can do 2 regular hits before the riposte. Get the Firelink Greatsword and beat Nameless King with it :)

  • A couple things worth noting as I followed this guide: 1. Personally, I find trying to rush through Ariandel for the large titanite shards so much more cancerous than rushing to the Smouldering Lake. I recommend rushing Abyss Watchers with a +4 weapon (it's only a little hard) and then heading down to the lake for 12 large titanite and 1 chunk. Then with +7 take on dancer and proceed as normal. 2. Also, you don't need to wait for the Silvercat Ring to do the jumping in Ariandel to get the slab. You can buy Spook which prevents fall damage (and is usable at sl 1) from Orbeck and a staff from the maiden and get +10 before the Deacons and Wolnir. 3. I'm not a perfect min-maxer, but after testing, you get so much more damage on backstab against Freide is to do +10 Sharp (yes sharp) Dagger, Ranger Ring, Flynn's Sword Ring, and Hornet (your fourth can be what you prefer for defense, gundyr's, shield ring, etc). You can two-hand it for quick-step as well - it's glorious indeed. Enjoy!
