Played a lot of Demons Souls but havent played much of DS1. Figure I'll play through this before getting 3 from the humbundle.

Playing cleric.

Game is fun but the UI is fucking hideous. Scale is massive and its super low res. Any fixes?

Also I have a pretty low health bar from dying... any easy way to restore it?

Use a human effigy to restore you HP to full. Never used a faith build cleric in that game but I remember the sorcery being pretty decent. Spellcasters generally start out extremely weak in DS2

dark souls 2 is an underrated game, i appreciated what it changed up even if it doesnt always hit.

although fuck Shrine of Amana, that might be my least favorite video game level of all time. absolutely nothing fun about that area

Sorcery is always OP no matter the Souls game.

Faith seems to fluctuate from decent to bottom shit tier.

I disagree that 2 is better than 3 but my issue with Dark Souls 3 is that it's too Bloodborne. Enemies are too fast and aggressive but you still feel gimped because of the stricter stamina and shield. As soon as you ditch a shield in Dark Souls 3 and start playing aggressive like Bloodborne I start winning alot more.

You can join the Champions Covenant, at least I think thats what its called, to farm stuff. The enemies are tougher while youre with this guild but they respawn infinitely, even ones you previously eliminated.

Also if you run out of effigies, you can regain your humanity by being summoned to help others. Outside a boss room is pretty quick, youll usually get your humanity restored after a try or two.

I always found the quickest way to farm souls is to be summoned for bosses over and over. You get a pretty big chunk for each success. Also theres certain armor and rings you can equip that will increase the souls you earn by a decent amount.

Just use the mace and wreck everything
Get your agility stat up to 100 asap
Go to Heide's Tower of Flame and pick up the Ring of Binding to help with health reduction on death. It's in a chest a dude is sitting in front of.
Agree with Romulox on Shrine of Amana being the most fury-inducing place ever. Freakin beautiful tho

soul memory is something fucking stupid

in ds1+3 summoning/invading worked on a level range

in ds2 the range is based on how many total souls you have earned, regardless of actually using them to level up or not
