What's everyone else using, weapon-wise? and upgrading, stat-wise? Has anyone here beaten the game yet?
Saw Cleaver +4, can't seem to find any more of those twin blood stones or whatever they are, I'm probably not far enough for them to become a common drop
Tonitrus +3 because yay lightning
Flamesprayer +3 because I wish I was a pyromancer still
I also have Ludwig's Holy Blade +3, yet it's just... not my saw cleaver. I'm used to it, and have trouble adapting to anything else.
...and I quickly dumped my blunderbuss for a basic pistol. My Bloodtinge isn't high enough for anything better than the basic one, but I only use it for stuns, and for that it's good enough.
I've mostly been upgrading strength and arcane. Arcane affects discovery, which raises your chances of getting item drops. (I do love my drops.) It's also one of the scaling stats with pretty much all of my weapons. The only stat I don't think I've touched is Bloodtinge, it's been 5 since the beginning.
I beat my first chalice dungeon (at least i think I did, there was no "dungeon cleared" type of message, just a dead end after
I got another chalice from it, but I'd already gotten one on the level before, so it didn't really feel like a "final" prize.
I also beat
. That's where I left off, I had so many places to go that I haven't fully explored and felt like i had to just take a break for a bit. I don't think I'm ready for
as I died almost instantly without being able to get my bearings. I haven't been back since.
By the way, there have been reports of a game-breaking bug in a zone called the Forbidden Woods, which I haven't been to yet. If you invade or summon there, a necessary item will not spawn, blocking your progress. There's supposedly a fix in the works and will be ready for this coming week.
