    So I decided I am finally going to beat this game, the moving on to Dark Souls. I beat Dark Souls 2 earlier last year, which is pretty easy compared to this game. I started over with a new Character and blasted through the first three areas in the first world. Now I am stuck, not truly, but my strikes do almost no damage to anybody in this second world. I am looking to go for a tank-esque build. Here are my stats so far...

    Soul lvl 20.
    Soldier
    Female
    Armor Plate (what I started with)
    Bastard Sword +3
    Cling Ring and Ring of Great Strength
    Vit 20

    Int 9
    End 13
    Str 19
    Dex 11
    Mag 8
    Faith 10
    Luck 10

    My plan is to level up Vit, Str and End. I am leveling up End every two times I level up Vit and Str. Any help will be greatly appreciated.

    The second world enemies are weak to piercing weapons, I think. Also, try different areas, it's not really ideal to go through all of level 1, then all of level 2 etc.

    Also, magic is totally broken and overpowered in this game, if you want to try some of that.

    I'd also suggest getting enough stats for the first rank of Soul Arrow (I forget what you need, sorry!). As it'll make some of the bosses a lot easier (should you struggle with any of the melee bosses).

    Don't go through the areas in order, you are suppose to go back and forth between the different worlds. Most people do 1-1>1-2>4-1, so checking out world 4 might not be a bad idea for you. Also most enemies in world 2 are weak to magic and piercing, while many enemies in world 4 are weak to blunt weapons (including your bare fist).

    I kind of like the open nature of the game, if you hit a spot that is boring or too hard, then you can just go somewhere else a lot of the time and tackle it later.

    @tobbrobb: I got destroyed in 4-1 by the first enemy, good to know they're weak to Blunt weapons so I'm going back now. I beat the Armor Spider in 2-1 easily, got to the Flamelurker and had his ass at half health and lost track of my health.

    I just started over again with a magician build, I'm already at where I was before in half the time.
