Just finished 1-1 and killed Phalanx. For Souls fans that haven't played it, it's similar to 2/3/Bloodborne in that it has a central Nexus with 5 separate worlds with 3-4 levels each, which can be tackled in any order after the first area, 1-1, which is basically Undead Burg.

My starting class is Royalty, because I always like to start as a pyro to experience a good mix of dex and magic the first time around, and this is the closest to pyro in DS. I killed the demon in the tutorial pretty easily with the starting spell. And I accidentally rolled off the top floor of the nexus after killing the boss, so now I'm back in soul form, which blows.

I want to play it again

Bit of an update:

1-1, 1-2, 4-1, 5-1 complete, currently making my way through Valley of Defilement. The poison lake is fucking ridiculous. The Tower Knight from 1-2 looked like it'd be a really great fight, but it was stupidly easy. Leechmonger and Adjudicator were also super easy. So far all the bosses have been gimmicky, rather than a legitimate duel or monster fight.

SL 30
18 STR
18 DEX
18 Magic
18 Faith

VIT and END are around 11. Planning to use the Blueblood sword, and I'm making my way to 5-3 to collect the required soul.

going for any particular build? Gonna stack regen?
