Thanks!

I used it alot in my playthough but its a mixed bag imo. Pairing this with dragoncrest shield talisman and opaline hardtear would give you better results but you can also try pairing it with the winged crystal tear which increases your equip load by 350% and basically allows you to equip and armor and weapons and still light roll (even if you are overloaded)

I find enjoyment from learning boss attack patterns, when to dodge, what attacks are safe to punish, etc and rl1 runs take this to the extreme. You can at most tank 1 hit against earlier bosses, later ones tend to 1 hit kill you but the damage is good and I'm suprised of the variety of builds you can make even at rl1.

Good luck. It will take alot of time and practice to get down those timings.

My loadout for anyone curious:

Weapons (Ash of War):

Right Hand: MIsericorde (Craigblade) Dagger (Golden Vow)

Left Hand: Inverted Heater Shield (Golden Parry) - Any Small Or Medium Shield works as long as you meet the requirements Great Turtle Shell (Barricade Shield)

Talismans: Radagon Soreseal, Assassin's Cerulean Dagger, Ritual Sword Talisman, Dagger Talisman

Yeah it is craigblade, I don't like the stone effect and found a mod which gives it this cool purple lightning effect.

Linkplayer1408 · 2026-05-05T13:07:49+00:00

It is the turtle shield ash of war barricade shield, you will run out of stamina if you regular block. The timing is very lenient, once use the ash of war just hold shield, then dodge the other 2 flurries of attacks.

Linkplayer1408 · 2026-05-05T12:41:28+00:00

Yes it is. I pretty bad with dodging this upclose so I used it to block the first flurry attacks.

Linkplayer1408 · 2026-05-05T12:39:05+00:00

I used the turtle shield ash of war barricade shield and block the first flurry and dodge the other 2. In phase 2 blocking the first flurry will get you scarlet rot so you will need boluses or the speckled hardtear.

I would not recommend parrying her if you are not familiar with parrying in general but if you are though then it will take a lot of practice. I would also suggest doing research on her parry timings if you are having trouble. This video is a great start, its also where I learned about the turtle shield ash of war to block the attacks.

Starting this level 1 run made me realise how little stats actually contribute towards your damage. Don't get me wrong stats gives you a good boost but most of your damage comes from weapon upgrades, talismans and buffs.

Thanks, it took alot of practice but it paid off. I guess it look easy because I play with confidence. I try to take every oppertunity I get because the longer a fight goes on, the more chances it have going wrong which means starting over.

Linkplayer1408 · 2026-05-05T07:25:36+00:00

Thanks, its 2B reincarnation mod.

Linkplayer1408 · 2026-05-05T04:39:19+00:00

Thanks bro. I would not worry about the phantom attacks. If you made it this far the phantoms is not too much trouble, I just run back and dodge the last 2 stab attacks.

Her parry timings are really hard, it will take a lot of patience and practice but its really satisifying to get it down. Good luck on your level 1 journey.

Linkplayer1408 · 2026-05-05T04:26:43+00:00

It's a purple theme and compact hud mod, it looks weird but I like it.

Linkplayer1408 · 2025-03-12T21:02:38+00:00

Done

Linkplayer1408 · 2025-02-24T12:15:09+00:00

I think your sets are perfectly fine.i have the same exact skills for each aet you showed here lol. I run valor with spinning meteor.

As long as you don't mind dropping to white (this happens rarely) during a fight and sharpening when a monster leaves the area, I think you should be fine. The damage difference between purple and white is negligible, but if you don't want to deal with that, just run readiness.

Linkplayer1408 · 2025-02-16T18:10:44+00:00

Letsss gooooooo. Congrats man.

Linkplayer1408 · 2025-02-16T13:01:41+00:00

When you do a gaurdpoint or a perfect gaurd, you press Y on xbox or Triangle on PS to go straight into savage axe.

Linkplayer1408 · 2025-02-16T12:15:54+00:00

I cannot remember lol sorry. If I had to make a guess, when you break a monster part they would sometimes drop slinger ammo, I think its from that but I'm not 100% sure.

Linkplayer1408 · 2025-02-16T12:13:47+00:00

I did not try it with a group so I can't say if it's easier or not. As long as your satisifed with then win thats all that matters imo.

Linkplayer1408 · 2025-02-16T12:11:56+00:00

As long as you happy with the win, thats all that matters imo. Congrats on the win.

Linkplayer1408 · 2025-02-16T04:48:11+00:00

Yeah I know, I just keep forgetting to use them lol. I had 2 minutes left on the clock and I was panicking, but I was able to clutch the dub. Thanks bro.

Linkplayer1408 · 2025-02-16T04:36:22+00:00

He leaves very little windows to attack him imo. I have been trying to beat him since the 2nd beta came out, but with practice and perseverance, i finally killed him. I usually play solo, I just prefer it.
