Despite the ingame description hexes scale with the lower of int/faith so they naturally make for very spread builds. For melee you have buffed and infused weapons, at range you have access to hexes/sorceries/miracles. Great Magic Barrier is an insane defensive buff to run. Most hexes are a bit slow for my taste and can be rolled through rather easily so make sure to mix them up. Casters are most scary if they're backed up by solid melee mechanics. | ||

Learn opponents movesets, adapt to them. Since its your first playthrough, whatever you feel comfortable doing, level the stats that support doing that Don't get greedy vs bosses, if you don't think you can get that 2nd or 3rd hit in time, don't do it, also remember to manage your stamina against bosses. Don't fret if you lose your souls. Prepare to die a lot | ||

Not stuff like "go here for OP item", but like noob-friendly classes/builds, good stats to spend souls on, or anything else. One suggestion i would have, which others might not agree with, is look up bonfire locations. At least slightly. I missed the second one in blighttown on my first run, and believe me, that was so frustrating that i stopped playing the game for at least a month. Having to run through all of blighttown for each attempt on the boss was very, very annoying. Another one people tend to miss is the one in Sen's Fortress. As others have said, the main important stat on shields is physical resistance. Don't use a shield that does not have 100% physical unless it is for a very specific purpose. Encumbrance is relevant. The main break points for it are at 25%, 37.5%, 50%. You probably want to be below 25%, because slow rolls suck. While rolling might be technically superior to blocking, blocking is usually a lot easier to use and good enough to deal with most situation. Important and non-obvious fact: You can block everything. Even an axe that is larger than all of your character can be blocked with a shield. For general stats, your main focus should be on upgrading your weapon. This usually doesn't take too many souls. All weapons can be used, take one with a moveset you like. I would suggest a build that puts roughly equal emphasis on Vitality, Endurance and one damage stat, whichever your weapon/main abilities scale with. So basically either one out of Strength, Dex. You might need a bit more strength/dex to use whatever weapon you wish to use. You could go for something involving sorceries or miracles too, there are ways to upgrade a weapon to scale with int or faith. But for a first playthrough i would recommend just doing something simple that involves punching people a lot. Others might differ. You can always add pyromancy to any build because it does not scale with any stat, just pyromancy flame levels. | ||

I started DS1 myself like 1month ago to prepare for DS2 and now I finished it with 2 Chars. Just don't spoil yourself. Look at the signs ingame, they will tell you the most important things, that you can't know by yourself (Bonfires, Illusionary walls etc). For your Build: You can either go for a Dex or a Str Build or for a tanky build where you push str/dex only to get the Weapon requirements and then go for a lightning/fire weapon and put the rest into Endurance/Vit. You may also want to look up Equipment Load, thats a thing thats hard to understand when you first play it - but its very important. | ||

So true :D And yeah, for rolls : DS1 : 0% 25% 37.5% 50% 100% where the fat roll starts at 50%. At 100% you can't run or roll, and there are 2 differents "normal" rolls between 25 and 50%. Under 25% you have a fast roll and at 0 a very fast roll. I mostly played just under 50% and the roll is still good enough, but having a fast or very fast rolling char is fun. For a first character I'd say aim 49% equip load tho, the subtleties of fast rolling come with (a lot of) playtime. In DS2 it's about the same but it's very gradual, and the fat roll is only over 70%, but basically each percent over 0% makes you roll a little slower and lose some iframes. Adaptability plays a role but I don't know to what extent. | ||
