Good fucking luck.

I tried it once on DS1...didn't last long.

You really gotta know your shit that's for sure. You're gonna need a lot of souls for supplies like repair powder or maybe even some magic repair spell. I'd reccommend wearing anything and everything that nets your more souls because equipment is going to be your mainstay.

You need to know bosses and their elemental weaknesses because the less time they have on the field equals the less chance you have of being dead. Skip all the optional bosses. Cheese everything with a bow or knives and save your main weapon for the bosses or situations you deem it's needed.

And don't take any unneccessary risks. That's the most important. NONE. This is a playthrough where you play with extreme caution. If you get into a situation that you think you can't handle, back off. Stock up on life gems big time.

I'd reccommend putting a lot of points into health and using rings to boost your health.

Those playthroughs require so much cheesing that you might as well just dupe souls and savescum.

Also, you don't neccessarily have to get both rings in one run. A deathless run is much easier if you can still use bonfires. Emergency teleporting is a thing after all.

And likewise, a no bonfire run, while being an immense hassle if you die, is still doable.

I gotta say though.

99 str dual greatswords power stanced with Ring of Blades +2 and Flynns Ring, using both illusionary rings is the most OP build I've ever played. Backstab proof turtle armour and Rebel's greatshield for ultimate rage.

Players seriously let their guard down when they can't see what you're using and you turn your back on them. They come in close to try and hit your exposed back, and then boom, you do a power attack spin on them and two shot stunlock them.

Yeah, I figured. Probably gonna start no bonfire / no deaths but if things go awry I'll just continue as just a no bonfire run and do the no death part on NG+.

No death run takes more presidence over bonfires. No death runs quickly become impossible on New Game +

I did a no bonfire run on the original game with the maces, but that's about it. I dunno how you're going to do it with SOTFS due to new and annoying enemies, but yeah. Good thing is that you can skip a few hard zones completely, so that's all nice.

Also if you accidentally sit at a bonfire, just immediately turn your game off. Also note that you CAN light the bonfires, and obviously activate the primal ones.

Oh and being cursed doesn't count as a death, right?

No way, the end of the game would be balls
