Dark Souls II

[Rhaelys]

I know. I'd killed the Pursuer & Giant before I decided to do the no deaths run, then I followed;

Dragonrider
Flexile Sentry (Could have skipped since I killed the Pursuer)
Ruin Sentinels (Also could have skipped them since I killed the Pursuer)
Lost Sinner (Great Soul)
The Rotten (Great Soul)
Scorpioness Najka
Prowling Magus and Congregation
The Duke's Dear Freja (Great Soul)
Skeleton Lords
Covetous Demon
Mytha, the Baneful Queen
Old Iron King (Great Soul) (Skipped the Smelter by going through the furnace)
Demon of Song
Velstadt, The Royal Aegis
Twin Dragonriders
Looking Glass Knight
Throne Watcher & Defender

Then I died on the Guardian Dragon to get to the Dragon Aerie...

Give or take in that order anyway. Looking at it now, I can't see any I could have skipped besides the ones I marked, which was when I really got serious about the whole no deaths run.
I could viably have farmed souls to get through the Shrine of Winter, but I really can't be arsed to farm something like 10 million souls in boss souls

The easiest no deaths run is probably something like this:

(click to show/hide)

1) Play through NG+ to figure out new enemy spawns, etc on a character
2) Start a new character, farm Giant Lord in NG until you have 2 million souls worth of Giant Lord's Souls (80)
3) Go to NG+, drop down pit of Majula into Gutter and grab Fragrant Branch of Yore. Or if you hate the Gutter, go to Heide Tower of Flame and defeat Dragonrider to access Licia to open Huntsman's Copse, beat Skeleton Lords, and grab the Branch from Harvest Valley
4) Pop 2 million souls and immediately bypass Shrine of Winter to get to Drangleic and beat Looking Glass Knight
5) Shrine of Amana, Demon of Song
6) Undead Crypt, Velstadt
7) Aldia's Keep, Guardian Dragon
8) Dragon Aerie
9) Dragon Shrine for Ashen Mist Heart
10) Forest of Fallen Giants, defeat The Last Giant to get Soldier Key
11) Memory of Jeigh, defeat Giant Lord for Giant's Kinship
12) Throne of Want, Throne Defender/Watcher & Nashandra
This is probably the least dangerous non-glitch-exploiting way to get the no deaths ring.

And I misread your earlier post, got confused and thought you were talking about Ancient Dragon. Still, to not die until Guardian Dragon is quite impressive.

Farmed up Llewellyn set yesterday on my DEX char, this armor is full swagger. Also upgraded an Espada Ropera to +10 and did some pvp with it - I managed to stunlock some guy to get like 5-6 hits in, I'm not sure if it was an actual stun lock or he just forgot to dodge though. Was pretty cool. Still learning how to parry with Parrying Dagger, which is in my offhand - parry times are completely different for PvP than for PvE and fast weapons like katanas are still giving me troubles parrying..

Just found a save game.

If anyone wants a set of the invis rings or shit loads of plus 10 gear let me know.

This is after I did a riposte with a +10 dagger 40 dex, and a few hits also.

then he just stun locks me.

also I took damage earlier from the hit I PARRIED, wtf. I dont think dex builds are viable at all tbh, except maybe dual poison whips but that looks boring as fuck to play.

Havel got around 1k defense. A dagger doing that much damage on ripost on a Havel is pretty decent. Looks like he got a good amount of HP though for your SM. Dagger should have done over 1k. Had to backstab a full havel 3 times once using dark buff before he died.

Didn't know there was mules for PC yet.

40 points in literally every stat.

Shouldn't you go mundane daggers?

[SirCymro_Crusader]

Got a +10 fire longsword, the one you find at the start of the game 

Haven't really used any other weapon. Got lost though, trying to find my way around. Just killed the boss in the gutter, gotta find out where to go next.

I got a new look yesterday.

thieves hood, grave warden chainmail - these who mix together like they where made for it!
Dark Gauntlets, heavy boots - ultimate swagger short trousers + boots.

I also found that the Pike + mace in right hand is a great combo for NPC's that are stunnable, stun with the left hand spear trust to evade that initial opening attack without rolling(for a quicker kill) and start pounding them with two maces. maces fairly OP tbh, stun locking sentinels like a boss.

currently doing a melee run through spending all my points in int/att/faith, got those up to 20/16/20. 20 str for the halbert for PvP and going for 24 Dex for the blacksteel katana. managed to not die up untill mytha the banefull queen, who got me with a choose point blank magic wave attack..

its fun to do all these bosses with under 1000 HP and limited equipload and stamina..
I tend to die at the ruined sentinels, but that didnt happen this time, got Lucky though with one of those whirlwind attacks of them.

Yeah, I had a hell of a lot of help from my clan mate, Dlion. He fought his arse off keeping me alive. He himself only died once and that was saving my life against an invader. I probably wouldn't have made it past the Three Ruin Sentinels without him, I screwed up a heal timing as a ruin sentinel swung at me, he got in between the hit with his shield up and deflected it. I let out a trademark squeal and rolled away like a maniac.

PM me the link! I'm curious to see it! I'll never get the rings legit,  don't have time at the moment.

Are you a sorcerer?

I think fire weapon scales with INT and FAITH, ie which is lower.

The normal mace is the best pve weapon in the game, its better unupgraded than my +10 dex weapons with low str and 40 dex at killing bosses.

In huntman's copse there is a magic infused mace.  if you are pure INT this weapon is completely brokenly strong, less so in pvp but still good. its a bit tricky but you can get this weapon straight away, I got it with like 20k soul memory of my sorcerer pvp/speedrun char.
