This is the most comprehensive character essential upgrades video in all of You Tube.
Believe me I have scoured many videos of this variety. Thank you for your grand efforts putting this together 🙏

[QueenCrimson]

FOR THOSE ON PC SUFFERING WITH THE WRONG WARP!!! Try alt-f4ing as soon as you see the big jump towards 100% in the loading! as soon as i started trying that i got it first try!

[johnhinckley]

I’m very new to souls games and just finished my first playthrough and all I can say is omg thank you my next playthrough will be much smoother thanks to you plz never stop your content is amazing!!!

[PhatBradley]

What an incredible guide you put together. Still works perfectly as of early July 24' as well. Amazing, thank you so much.

[bandanasteve]

so comprehensive!! this is excellent!! the new standard in early game setup. congrats on all your hard work friend

[Gamuza]

at 3:50 time you also can get a memory stone from that tower using the jumping thingy.

[Mordain_Thade]

Nice guide here! I do a very similar run on all of my characters to start. I don't do the wrong-warp, but I can comfortably end up at up to one +17 regular and three +6 Somber weapons, 12 flasks at +10, and five Memory Stones. I also add in a little combat to get three easy Deathroot (since I get 12 Faith on all characters for Bestial Vitality, Heal, and Flame Cleanse Me) - the Limgrave & Liurnia mariners die easy to a wretch with a club, and the Black Knife in Deathtouched Catacombs dies to that + non-upgraded Wolves.

[polydoo]

instant sub, ive beat the game many times and i still found this to be the most accurate video for this type of fast paced progression

[deviousbug]

Perfect, thanks for putting in so much work for this

[orpheusthelyre]

Absolutely brilliant sir! U saved me from my lost save on ps4, that disappeared on my ps5! Makes the new dlc playable so much sooner


Many thanks for your help

[calak]

Thank you i´ve played a few of these games and i have a tendecy to collect everything i can find but this game is so big that is impossible not to miss some things unless you are searching for them

[julianfeo]

Great guide man I just finished the dlc and felt like making a new character but can be too tedious unlike the previous souls games, this is no bullshit straight to the point might actually do it now 👍

[martymcintosh]

get bloodhound fang and get oleg, then you good.
if you're a mage, glintstone pebble and rock sling are all you need

[judsdragon]

this is only the 2nd video iv seen that mentions the 2 smithing stone 7's and smithing stone 8 along with the stonesword key on top of that white boulder thing, amazing how many miss those

[RoxasSilv]

Very informative video and very glad for the help but at times it was hard to follow especially with the mapping you had as i couldnt see exacts but none the less still greatful for this video

[jad]

The dragon can be farmed. Be on horse and. When the health ends run to the grace on horse. Rest at grace and you will receive the runes and you can do it all over again. If you get the alert of the dragon heart you did it wrong. Always be on the horse

[kordi]

Easy dragon farm you can finish up the kill while mounted on your steed then as soon as it dies rush back to the grace so you get the runes and the dragon repawns. repeat the process

[isyf]

3:50 I would also recommend to get into Lenne's rise as it gives you a memory stone without needing to fight

[robos]

This guide is amazing, and it works! Thanks buddy!

[pork]
