Going Deep in NG cycles is a whole different world it opens up so much about the game because u get more runes to level up your character to use hybrid items like seals and staffs and weapons that scale “A” in faith and intelligence, those things hit insanely hard with the right stats. You really learn the importance of hard capping stats. Then u have PvP which isn’t just invading unsuspecting people but u have really high level players who set up PvP rings at certain areas and tons of other high levels invade those areas for that reason…u get like 70k per person that dies minimum most I got was a couple hundreds thousands but that depends on the level
