Fixded it for you.

Also, fifthded.

By the way, WaffleEggnog, I like the way you've covertly helped build the pyramid that was criticizing your own statement. Ninja self-deprecation FTW!

Seventhed... What am I seventheding?

Pretty much the weakest enemies in the game

Update on my adventure:
Bought 30 firebombs from Murphy in Undead Burg.
Killed Moonlight Butterfly. Used a shield, sadly.
Killed Havel.
Got cocky, tried to kill the Hydra, hilarity ensued.

Out of curiosity, would Dual-weilding shields or two-handing a greatshield be remotely viable?

EDIT: Also, with a Zweihander, would I be better off with heavy armor with Poise, or lighter armor with none?

Alright, now trying to beat Gwyn, Lord of Cinders.
Jeez this guy attacks relentlessly. 5 seconds after entering the room and I'm toast.
Any tips? I'm looking for a small window of oppertunity when he's not attacking so I can actually get a blow in.

Whatever you do, don't parry.

The best way to go about it is dealing enough damage to stagger him, but failing that casting iron flesh and poking him to death is an option if you have good stamina.

What? Parrying is the best way to beat him. It makes the fight a bit easy, but it's not as cheap as iron flesh.

If you're not parrying, the best time to attack is after he tries to grab you. Roll to the side to dodge that and you'll have time for 1-2 hits.

You can probably still do the moonlight butterfly if you

summon beatrice at the bottom of the stairs and dodge well.

I did that on my other character, and I would on this one, if I had any humanity to revive with.

So i've been playing a bit this morning and have some updates on a new character im trying.

I decided to try a "No shield, crush with Zweihander" type character, I didn't die until the second floor of the church in the Undead Parish. I didn't kill Solaire this time, and me and him just totally owned the Bell Gargoyles. At this point, I want to get my Zweihander past +5 so i'm trying to kill the Moonlight Butterfly. I'm out of humanity at this point so I can't revive or kindle, so I decide to head into the Darkroot Basin to look for some phat lewts. I kill something that dropped 2 twinkling titanite and two titanite chunks, good for me. I find a longbow, and i'm all thinking that this will be the weapon that kills that stupid insect. I walk into the boss fight all ready to perpetrate some ownage. 24 bloody damage. Thats what the bow did. At this point i'm quite sad, as I attempted to kill it again, this time with fire bombs. That actually worked, until it launched sparkles at me, resulting an insta-death. At this point, I lack the happiness to go back to Murphy, as I like to call the merchant in Undead Burg, and get more bombs. And i'm humanity starved, and I really don't want to kill any NPCs this time around.

Oh yeah, does two-handing things cut the strength requirement in half, or does it make it 2/3?
