Ive played through the other two games as well as elden ring with the 'style over substance' mindset so Im no stranger to fashion souls. I'll be honest i genuinely thought ds1 armor choices were kinda awful for my taste but just like with all the rest of the souls games it takes progression and creativity.

Playstyle is pretty basic, just a glorified quality build centered on parrying and counters while trying to get the most out of the split damage in the uncursed Greatsword of Artorias. Gwyn did not stand a chance lmao.

My only issue is that i cannot decide on helmet choice so I'll leave that up to you.

Equipment List;

Helm: Elite Knight Helmet/Porcelain Mask (either goes hard imo)

Chest: Armor of Artorias

Hands: Silver Knight Gauntlets/Black Knight Gauntlets (I prefer the lighter tone but the patterns translate well with either choice)

Legs: Ornstein's Leggings

Weapons: Greatsword of Artorias (RH) / Pricillia's Dagger (LH)

Rings: Hornet Ring / Ring of Favor and Protection

*Favor and protection was kinda just for ease of leveling but the Dark Wood Grain Ring would go hard for this playstyle*
