    It is finally time to make our way to the Capital with all the south content completed. While the enemies here won't be terribly hard if you've been following along the guide the bosses can still be quite challenging. This episode we focus on tackling a lot of the upper portion of the capital city.
    While there isn't any incredibility important loot this episode there is quite a lot to do here and it's good to fully clear out the capital as we'll lose access to it later.

      @@Crusader-777 if you find yourself getting destroyed I have some tips you should and shouldn't listen to.
      1 Intel scaling sword? No get rid of it. It's so much cheaper to just buff the weapon with magic or ice. I prefer a high stagger weapon like lordsworns greatsword, but if the weapon is a sword and has a built in status modifier that's better against bosses.
      2. ashes of war are pointless. Unless the ash of war is going to help you live or get your spell out it will just cancel your weapon buff... however endure raises your defense and poise, to my knowledge doesn't disrupt the buff.
      3 the talisman that raises defenses at full hp mixed with an endure is almost 100 percent damage negation.
      4 armor is great but poise is better and that talisman plus endure pretty much has your back. I just wish I could find a high poise low armor, weight set.
      5 also you can kill that weird gatekeeper from godricks castle for the second best parry shield however I've been liking having a sword that can double as a shield.

    I have to say that I have noticed so many people comment how the wish the guides didn't talk. I beg to differ and in your case Sir it is most welcome and often profitable. Even when you may not do something you make a comment giving another avenue. Case in point, around 23:36 you mention running by the big Envoy and killing him to get his weapon, even you didn't I veered off course, cranked up my discovery to 283 and got. Very cool weapon, I even went and got the Envoy crown which I think is 15% more damage on the weapon. The charm I already had but I feel as you do, I don't like sacrificing defense to gain some attack, makes no sense. I really appreciate your presentation methods, thanks so much cowpuncher!!

      Hahah same here, this is my first time playing this type of game, like ever, snd when I first started to play I was so lost and almost returned the game. But I decided to give it one more day and to watch some RUclips videos. That same day CB dropped the first episode of the walk through and I’ve been following step by step ever since. I will play it, let cowboy go untill he gets to a point where he won’t get attacked if he stands there for a minute, I pause the video then follow right along and then when I reach where he is I play the video and repeat. It sucks when I’ve run out of video for the day though snd at that point I just kind of run around goofing off killing things. Going back and killing stuff I had a hard time killing esrlier in the game, or I go try to find secret stuff CB missed which I’ve only found like 1 or 2 things. The biggest being the secret room in the cuckoo church in Raya Lucaria. There is an entire sun room area hidden behind a secret wall that we missed in the walk through. With coffins and some rune arcs. It also opens the church up a lot and let’s s bunch of light in Lol.

I won’t fight any bosses or pick up any loots nor do I go into any dungeons or anything, I save that for my time with cowboy haha but I will Venture ahead in the open world area snd just kill cool new respawn enemies or I’ll pick an area and try to kill everything in it after we have gone through it. Like I’ll take Liurnia and try snd go around with out hitting a grace and kill everything so if you run around there will be no enemies what so ever and it’s just you by yourself with the occasional merchant.

      @Brandon Smythe same here, I cheated a little and went snd got the lord of blood area earlier than we did and used the bird off the cliff farm after doing the ball thing a bunch as well and I’m not level 172. Now I will beat the boss in half the time it takes CB and almost all the bosses up to this point since I leveled up last CB has been fun but pretty easy. HOWEVER, the seed beast in the bottom of that ghost cave yesterday has kicked my ass time and time again. I still haven’t been able to beat it. For some reason it’s already spawned when I go through the mist and is ready to attack. Before I can even get through the mist and start swinging or doing anything it’s already attacking me snd kills me. I believe out of 8 tries i was about to get out of the mist snd move 2 times. Both times I rolled away and called my mimic and before the mimic could even form the damn thing killed it then me. It acts WAY different than the one in CB video. It’s almost like it’s spazzed out like those 4 armed soldiers do when you hit them and they don’t die and just start swinging wildly everywhere. I think it’s glitched on me. Super frustrating to say the least, that’s for sure. Lol I seriously haven’t been able to get one swing or one spell cast before dying and that’s even if I pop a rune arc, pop my physik to give me the bubble of protection snd out on a heavy shield and armor. Still 2 shots and I’m poof. I’m my vigor is 50 and 55 with the rune arc.

      An interesting note here is that how little Dex effects Transient Moonlight. I did some testing in the Academy of Raya Lucaria on the Abductor Virgin after the debate parlor. Base damage on Transient Moonlight 1052. Damage with Prothesis wearer's heirloom (boosting DEX): 1052. Damage with Stargazer's heirloom: 1073. The reason I point this out is that for the Moonveil boosting dex ONLY boosts the contact damage of the Katana, not the weapon skill. If you only care about weapon skill damage keep boosting INT

      I used the area where you first encounter the marshmallow dudes to gain some levels and once I was ready to progress further into the area I had close to 40 of those horns and a dozen or so long horns . I'll keep one of each then sell the rest.
      But on Dark Souls 3 I started keeping the weapons and store them in my chest and I have about 87+ Lothric Knight Swords so its no secret my level grinding sweet spot was Lothric Castle because the knights would sometimes drop embers as well as titanite chunks and of course the sword.
      Alot of people think that it is hard to obtain certain items due to the low drop rate but to me it's not a big deal to kill the same enemy over and over until it drops the item because I'm old and I grew up on games like Dragon Warrior for the NES and sometimes you had to farm forever it seems to get an item due to the drop rate being so low so I'm well accustomed to grinding and it gets boring at times but at least while you are farming you are getting experience and other items you can sell for money

    Honestly cannot believe how trivial you made this area. I naturally came here after Liurnia, found Altus tricky but not terrible, would have been around level 60. I got my ass handed to me so much in the capital first time round, it was the first time since probably Margit that I felt properly roadblocked. I still get that sense of dread whenever I'm back there and I think that the Leyndell theme might be the most fitting music for a zone in the whole game, beautiful yet filled with hopelessness. It perfectly translates that feeling that something here has gone very, very wrong

In addition to barrage it’s the only long bow that gets a quick fire shot after landing from a jump (like a short bow ) . It’s a very good blend of short and long bows. Great for status effects. If only want one bow I’d recommend this one.

      18 Dexterity

      70 Intelligence
      7 Faith
      9 Arcane
      +5 intelligence charm
      Cast speed charm
      And sorcery potency charm
      The only enemies I struggle with are the bell bearing hunters, revenants and especially the rune bears!! Those are an absolute nightmare in my eyes.
      Use rooftops to your advantage to cast spells from area’s they can’t reach you. Large glinstone shard and Loretta’s greatbow are your biggest friends.
      Even on ground this way you can get some easy damage in before they reach you in melee zone.
      Big knights with heavy shield use the R2 skill from moonveil. Bait them out to launch an attack. Dodge roll back once, then immediately use the moonveil skill. As they won’t have their shield in front of them. 2 attacks this way should kill a knight.
      Hopes this helps
