Happy Holidays everyone! In today's video we are going back to the High Wall of Lothric to face the Dancer of the Boreal Valley! We are also taking a look around the Lothric Castle. . . . If you enjoyed the video, make sure to like and subscribe, it is very appreciated! Also feel free to leave any feedback you have in the comments (no spoilers of course)!
also, congrats on unlocking the best farming area in the game! first bonfire after dancer: get up > kill 1 lothric knight who is in the same room > repeat! you can also wear the serpent ring, and crystal sword, and shield of want, and avatar, they all give you more souls!
nice video as always there is a small shortcut in the CKQ (consumed king's garden), look for it. also, for titanite slabs, you can only get 8 from the base game, and 7 of the DLCs, so 15 slabs per playthrough total. you should take care which weapons to use them on. (use the ones you like, also you can get other people to give you more, and if you are on PC you can just cheat them off, for more weapon variety). weapons that upgrade with normal titanite get to +10, and require 2 titanite shard, 12 large titanite shard, 12 titanite chunks total. weapons that upgrade with titanite scales and twinkling titanite require 15 total to +4 then a slab for +5, for them each level counts as 2 from normal weapons. also, you got a lot of stats now, so maybe you should think about how far you want to go with each stat. you basically are building vigor, endurance, and str. End hard caps for stamina @ 40, and there is a ring that gives you 5 levels, so i personally usually stop at 35. (beyond that it only gives you more defense) Str hard caps @ 99 for 1-handing and 66 for 2-handing, and this is where Str builds usually stop. vigor soft caps at 27 (which is exactly 1000 hp), with a "middle cap" at 50, and hard cap @99, but between 50-99 you get between 1-3 HP per level, so its usually not worth it. other stats you can level: Vit: for more carry weight, which helps you with armor and rolling, 70% carry weight is the breakpoint between normal rolling and fat rolling. Dex: for a quality build, usually goes 40-40 str-dex. or 80 if you want a pure dex build. int: for sorceries, there was one that buffs your weapon. faith: for miracles, there was one that buffs your weapon. int and faith: pyromancies, and also dark spells, there was one of each that buffs your weapon. luck: for better item drops and memes (and also bleed builds, but it doesn't work with heavy weapons.) btw, if you backstab someone, you can usually hold R2 right away and by the time they wake up you hit them with max charge, doesn't work on players or invaders tho. as for where to go, you can go either way, there is no wrong answer.
Thank you! I'll try to look for the shortcut since although scary I am interested to see who or what's the boss screaming behind the fog gate. Thank you for the insight, I don't have a weapon I'm interested into atm so I'll keep saving all the shards. I think I'll be going with some Vitality next, I feel like Flynn's ring doesn't buff me too much so might as well have some more poise and resistance with some cool armor. Int/Faith could be interesting for maybe spells to put my weapon on fire or something, I don't know how strong fire is in the game. For the next video I feel like I'll definitely go back to the boss! I'll then plan on what to do, depends if there's anything else behind the boss or not, if not I'll go back to the dragons!
@CixOnUA-cam there is one i used to like called "Carthus Flame Arc", its a pyromancy that only requires 10 + 10 int+faith, and iirc it lasted pretty long. i liked it because it only needed 2 levels from a knight. since you are not really using any spells, and pyro flame has 0 weight, it fits your build well, i know this because i played the same build my first playthrough... except i went for quality, and i had the weapons: Claymore > AstoraGS > FUGS. FUGS is even better on STR builds iirc, but too heavy, The heaviest Ultra Greatsword in the game. (25.5)
@@sld_silver I'll have a look at the pyromancy with Cornyx in the next video, I'll also have a look at the moveset of the Astora Greatsword, see if I'm willing to level it up! Again, thank you for your input and recommendations!

Lothric is my second favorite zone
It's really fun to explore so far! The layout is fun and the orange sky is gorgeous!
also, congrats on unlocking the best farming area in the game! first bonfire after dancer:

I'll keep that in mind in case I need souls!
Nice video : )
Thank you, I appreciate it!
