    Highly recommend anyone with spare levels to invest a little in Faith and get Flame, Cleanse Me. GOAT spell, clearing both Poison and Rot as well as removing Frostbite because of the *tiny* amount of self-fire damage it does. Indispensable IMO
    Edit: Also, bringing a big chunky weapon trivialises basically any fight with regular dudes because you can just stunlock them down with very little they can do on their part.

      ​@@CaptToiletI'd argue that only DS1 had useful armor because of how busted poise was. Demon's Souls armor at a point becomes next to worthless for example since poise wasn't even a thing iirc and the damage numbers from enemies spike significantly in the later stages of each Archstone.
      One thing about DS2, and Elden Ring too actually, is they have a lot of utility armor. Whether they give stat boosts, increase or negate certain damage, passive effects, etc. which existed but to a much lesser degree in the other games.

      In the more diehard corner of Souls fans, Fextra is generally considered a very low quality website. You get lots of fan theories getting posted as if they're hard canon. A good example of the general silliness that comes from Fextra is the dubbing of the Springhare in ER as a "Rabbitgaroo", when they were corrected on it the mods would routinely change the name back, despite Springhare's being a real animal. They also bloat their streams by having a built-in player that's very distracting. For an example of what's considered a better wiki, look into the Dark Souls 1 and Demon's Souls wikidot.

      Probably the whole view-botting on twitch controversy. Basically, since they embed their stream on their website sidebar, opening fextralife also opens their twitch stream. Due to the amount of people with at least one fextralife tab open at any given time, they get pushed to the top of the list for nearly any game they're streaming, even if very few people are actively watching the stream. They also had a pretty hostile reaction for being called out about that

      Fextralife is known for basically view-botting on twitch by implementing their stream on the wiki page in a tiny window.
      This way, since there are always people browsing the wiki, not looking at the stream at all, whenever he's streaming he automatically has the highest viewcount and prevent other creators from ever really getting promoted by twitch.

      to top it all off, fextra is trying to kill other wikis by paying google for sponsored search results, meaning they always top the search of any relevant game when you look up for a wiki. paying google to show everyone how much misinformation you tout is quite the play, i must admit.
