    Sorry it's been so damn long since the last video. I had some horrid luck with my room flooding in thunderstorms two separate times over christmas and new years, and spent a pretty big chunk of the new year clearing that out. So, I didn't even get to start run until about the third week of January. Anyways, hope you like it. Be nice if you do, be mean if you don't...To someone else I mean. Not me. Only be nice to me. I'm precious.😁

    The heal miracle is a great supplement for casual buils. With 12 faith and 1 attunement slots you can basically double your healing capacity early game without needing humanity. The thorulund talisman is perfect for this setup

    quick tip for people not choosing master key for whatever reason: you never need to do blight town from the depths, if you run from the parish bonfire through dark root basin, past the grass crest shield and through valley of drakes. from there you can always get into the "back entry" of blight town, pick up the new londo key and open the shortcut to firelink shrine

      Alternative option. Once you kill the Gaping Dragon, just leave the Depths. Domhnall will move to Firelink Shrine where he will now be selling the Master Key
      Edit: I was wrong. As someone else pointed out, he doesn’t move until you ring both bells

    Okay, I'm a minute in, and I'm subscribed. You gave Gough his respect, because nothing that we do against that AOE machine of "fuck you and the controller you rode in on" can compare to a blind dude that hasn't moved enough to shake the sawdust off in 150 years hit center range at a mile's distance with the first shot.

    9:26 well you CAN actually go the short way down to the bottom of Blight Town without the Master Key, no Dept required.
    just run from Andre past the Titanit Demon, down to the Hydra, into the Elevator Shaft near the Dark Knight, down into the Valley of Drakes, past The Zombie Dragon, and into Blight Town that way, sure it takes a bit longer then if you had the Master Key, at list Progression Wise, but it is FARE from being Hard, or even Impossible, it is not even a long trip compared to the Dept Entrance.
    through i would still recommend people playing through the long way, just fore the Loot along the way through.

    I'd use a dried finger and blue eye orb to hunt down dark wraith twinks in undead burg, they NEVER expect the WoG at such a low level, I got so much hate mail it was DE-LICIOUS 😂

    I played cleric mostly as kind of an easy mode. You have additional healing and there are some really good offensive miracles, so you have magic for attack and defense. Also you can really use divine weapons with scaling to make the Catacombs and Tomb of the Giants easy.
