Probably that Anor Londo run of tall sentinels near first bonfire > up to O&S throne room > repeat. I think?

Just got a black knight sword, should I abandon strength/dex and go ham on strength?
Spend a little time learning how to parry the silver knights then they will be very easy. From the 2nd bonfire, you can put your sign down and farm then as you wait.
Farming the NPCs in the forest is a fine soul farm.
I finished the game with a black knight sword the first time I played. It's a good weapon that you can use until NG+7 if you want, but in hindsight I didn't like its moveset. What weapon were you using before?

Right now I got a +8 Claymore, 23 strength and 21 dex.
Well, I like the Claymore the best. It only becomes more powerful than the BKS at really higher levels of STR and DEX, but even before that its moveset is godlike. Dat poke and running attack.
Both are good weapons. Use the one you like the most. The BKS is easier to upgrade because it only needs Twikling Titanite and you don't need to get an Ember to upgrade it fully. So maybe use it now for the raw power alone but keep upgrading the claymore.

Sounds good, thanks man! The only thing though is that the BKS has a longer time to swing than the claymore.

She very quickly gets better and is parrying the Anor Londo archers in no time!

Kinda wished she had a Demon's playthru. That's my sentimental fav. But I don't believe she has a PS3 or PS4 for BB.She very quickly gets better and is parrying the Anor Londo archers in no time!

iirc they have a PS4 but it was otherwise occupied. I was disappointed she never finished her DS3 playthrough, but I think she would've really gotten a lot out of BB in terms of it's lore and story so I really wish she had LP'ed that one. Maybe some day?
But she has a demon's soul playthrough. You can find it going on her playlists.
Edit: Here. I didn't watch it because I'm yet to play this game. My ps3 is broken

So I finally made it to Anor Londo. Hard to believe that I only (technically) started playing about a week ago, and I've learned so much and really honed my skills.
Those skills ain't worth dick against Ornstein and Smough though.
Went through that white light blind and got my ass handed to me in 2 minutes by the Super Biggie Smalls bros. How the hell am I even supposed to beat these fuckers?

Practice and patience.

Yeah I summoned Solaire because no one else was around last night, I can always manage to get one or the other down, but when it's time to take down the second one I always get fucked up by those butt slams because I can't roll out of the way fast enough.

I'm doing my damnedest to reach Choas Servant 2 to save that special someone but the grind is fugging real in that certain spot near Neatoh.

Warp to Sunlight altar bonfire.
Down the ladder, kill the 3 rats with the Gold Serpent Ring and some humanity, back to bonfire, rinse and repeat.
Took me like half an hour- 45 minutes to farm the 30 Humanity needed.

iirc Composite bow gives best damage but has less range. Pharis bow is good for DEX builds, otherwise just upgrade the longbow. The darkmoon bow is also an option if you have the stats.
Have you got a spare Firekeeper's Soul, you can always use it to dupe, each one gives 5 humanity. Quicker than farming any way!

Not at the moment.

So turns out that Dark Souls pc doesn't have the greatest matchmaking? I downloaded the connectivity mod and finaly beat Biggie Smalls through the power of jolly cooperation.

No problem.
Yeah without the mod I rarely see any messages on the floor or anything

after anor londo i went to darkroot garden > new londo. i didn't think those areas were bad. good boss fights there. the next four areas weren't great though. catacombs were annoying. tomb of giants was OK. though the final boss was actually the hardest in the game.

I beat Darkroot Garden earlier. I enjoyed, but so far I've done New Londo (Boss was crazy easy), Archives (kind of a mish mash), and Crystal Cave (underwhelming)

Well, it's all down hill from here!
Demon Ruins/Lost Izalith!
At least the DLC area is better.

I'm actually looking forward to NG+ the most. I missed a lot of stuff.
Is there a point of no return?

Killing the last boss sends you straight to NG+ - well, you have a choice of endings, but there's nothing else to do but go to NG+ or walk around the empty boss room.
The Kiln is actually a good spot to farm chunks (the enemies give guaranteed drops of chunks of each kind), which is worth doing before going to NG+.

Are you stocked up on Blooming Purple Moss?
Ranged tactics and longer weapons are great for them.
I really loved that area. Very fun.

No I wasn't, got my shit wrecked for like the first 20 minutes before turning the game off. After that I started using long poking weapons and the spider shield and got through it no problem. I decided not to attack the boss at the end though, she seemed harmless enough.
