Yes brother. Challenge yourself. Put that big OP mother fukker down.

I may pick up a whip or another weapon if I get get easy access to buying smithing stones.
Yes, whips were fun to use on the opps. After taking down the FIRE GIANT; I used his remembrance and received the Giant's Red Braid Whip.
Paired it and dual wielded it with the Magma Whip was :wow:

I was the Indiana Elden-a Jones of Limgrave. Definitely try it.

Sidenote:

I have started New Game +. Will attempt a full no summons run. (Inspired by what I've observed in watching your run.)

I'm also trying to challenge myself to use a more diverse melee approach. I've stated before that my heavy claymore is my fukking baby. Paired with a dual wield with the blasphemous blade and/or jellyfish shield; I was a full on apex predator in the elden realm.

It's been frustrating but I'm attempting the more elegant straight swords and thrusting spears. (I'm not enjoying trying to master spears AT ALL.)
No
But, I'm also brute forcing myself to figure out parrying. I'm currently running a parrying dagger in my off hand with the Noble's Slender Sword.

It definitely forces a more elegant and dance-like combat style. Think Arya from Game of Thornes. It's also been brutal against bosses since trying to figure out their parry window is proving to be...fatiguing.

But... the light at the end of the tunnel seems like it'll be a very fulfilling and impressive evolution to my combat.

A full on, no-summons run is exactly what i did in my last NG+. I mentioned it earlier but bloodhound step + any maxed melee weapon is a cheat code lol. No need for shields, nor summons, and blocking only for strategic counters. Really felt like i was boxing these dudes up like Floyd.

My tried and true was the Guts sword (Berserker fan) so that's what i stuck with. Granted there were still close calls vs the tougher/spammy opponents but it was exhilarating knowing i could go dolo vs any dragon, boss, or invader.



even the annoying 6 armed mutafukkas with 8 hit combos



If i pick the game back up for another NG+ i'll have to find a new a weapon or playstyle tho. Never really did anything with the bows or crafting mechanics. tbh.

I never played a souls game til bloodborne. I’m 40 years old. Bloodborne is my favorite game of all time. There is no grinding to get 94k. It’s so easy. Let me try to find the vid and I’ll send it to you later

That place in the snow? There is a torch you can get that reveals their location. After you kill them they do not respawn. The only one you probably have to kill is the one in the middle of town. I think you can light the other candles without encountering the others. I only killed two when i was there.
I finally beat it now idk heading into the secret area, if anyone plans on being on later to co op this area let me know
