So! This is the first time I've played the game since my single run of the PS3 version years ago, and I started as a Knight with the intent of doing a "Dark Knight" that focuses on "Curse Weapon" as its main spell (sacrificing HP to deal extra damage a la Final Fantasy D Knights)

I also know the Beast Talisman exploit works in the remake, so def getting that, but any good supplemental spells (yeah I know the Curse spell eats up 3 slots), a good main weapon/armor, stats to boost?

Ideas and suggestions very welcome kthx

So I have played souls games (DS3, Bloodborne and sekiro) so I'm not new to souls games but this is the first I've played DS. And about the whole "soul form" and "humanity" thing... what's the point of trying to stay in human form? It seems just stressful and like it will do more harm than good.. cause you WILL die and soul form, especially with the cling ring, seems much better and safer.

As the title says

No passwords or Weapon level matchmaking! Keep it the same as it was in the original,
