You can't tell me that trying to figure out what the swear was isn't more interesting than the actual name.

That guy's name was probably SSJGokuSephirot, only it turns out that SSJGok is a derogatory term for a Filipino-Italian immigrant in Switzerland, and Usephiro is the name of a gay porn star.

If you're at 3 primal bonfires, you're at like 2/5 to 3/5th of the game done, depending on what you've done in what order.

Anyway, I managed to get and break Santier's on my mundane run. Beat Najka at around SL 60 with Tark with relative ease. Playing the game through mundane is actually really interesting. If you are interested I suggest trying it, it's much more interesting than just respeccing later. I'm feeling some pretty genuine progression as I continue through the game, constantly unlocking interesting combinations of items and spells and overall I'm feeling much more... engaged? Than I have on my other runs.

What's a good build to base around the Drangleic Sword? I love the moveset so much. I usually roll with light armor (Brigand / Bandit) for ok defenses and a light 100% phys shield and 40/40 quality build but I wonder if going for some sorceries and pyromancies or miracles + infusions would be better

I used all my branches but I've kept all my boss souls and giant souls into NG+.

You can't wear two rings with the same name, so you can't have both the chloranthy ring and chloranthy ring+1 equip at the same time.

Grab a bow and you can aggro them individually. The Whip dudes are complete chumps and the staff guys can be backstabbed easily after their three hit combo.

Yeah, toss on some +item drop gear cause you will have to farm them for a bit. It's one of the two greatbows in the game, the other requiring a new game+ soul. Its really handy for the Shrine of Amana.

Sword != bow.

You can get it (the Blacksteel Katana) as a rare drop off any of the knights there, AFAIK. It doesn't do the whole sheath thing, though.

It kinda does with the two-handed R2. You do a small forward dash and draw the sword from a sort-of-Iaido stance.

My new favorite place to drop a sign is in front of the massive-hallway-before-the-boss in the Ditch. Can farm the shades infinitely while you wait for players to beg for your help, and the boss is an easy ~30k souls as long as the host doesn't suicide on him straight away.

Is there anywhere to farm Soul Vessels in NG? Too many builds to try, not enough vessels.

Edit:

Also, the Gyrm Greathammer has completely spoiled me with its 80 durability that lasts forever. Tried the Malformed Skull just for laughs, and the drat thing can't even kill all ...10 enemies in said massive-hallway (above) before breaking, even with the equipment durability ring equipped. The more unique/interesting a weapon is, the less durability it seems to have. Poor design decision, imo.
