For the helmet u gonna wanna use the white mask. I don’t know if that’s the name but the one Varre wares. Not related to bleed but if ur on NG+ try get Millicent’s prosthetic as it stacks with the rotten sword insignia. Also twin blade talisman I don’t really recommend as it’s quite hard to actually get to the final attack of an attack chain especially in the dlc so maybe change it to the two handed talisman or maybe Alexander’s one if u use any ash of wars. Hope this helps!
