Notes from author
Silver Mage primarily goes for 11 endurance, 10 attunement, 16 strength, 28 dexterity, and 40 intelligence. Afterwards upgrading attunement and vitality greatly help. Prior to Orenstein and Smough, it is a full dex build utilizing the Uchigatana and Golden Pine Resin to fight Quelaag and Gargoyles. It does have a rather weak early game, but in Sen's Fortress picking up the Covetous Gold Serpent Ring and then going to Anor Londo allow for a rather lengthy but worth it farming session for the Silver Knight Sword and Shield, and picking up Great Magic Weapon from the painting room in Anor Londo can help with Orenstein and Smough. This build is meant for not going to Capra Demon and the Depths, as I hate Capra demon. The reason that is in there is because the Large Ember is in the depths after Capra, and getting that and a Balder Side Sword to +15 is as good as the Silver Knight Sword, but it is also more work to get. Silver Knight Sword only goes to +5 and is in my opinion rather underrated, not to be a hipster. Anyway use the Tin Crystal Catalyst and any catalyst with a standard magic adj, like the starting one or the Izalith catalyst, and cast Crystal Magic Weapon. The Four Kings are the only boss that is too beefy for one cast of Crystal Magic Weapon, So use a standard catalyst to cast instead of the Crystal Tin. Other than that, Kill seath immediately after Orenstein and Smough for the catalyst and Crystal Magic Weapon. After that, I recommend Bed of Chaos, then Four Kings, then Nito, because personally I hate fighting the second to last boss always, and I hate the four kings, and I like Nito, so saving one I like for the last one makes me me encouraged to fight my least favorite Four Kings fight and more excited to actually finish the game. For Gwyn, it takes 4 parries to kill him, but for extra damage hit him once or twice when he gets up each time and you can do it in 3. Have fun. Pyro is used because it is cheaper to get to the stats than any other class.
