Notes from author
This is the Vessel, formerly known as the immovable object when he was using an Eagle greatshield.
You will not find an extremely optimized build designed to twink new players here - rather, this is somewhat of an anti-twink. Everything in this build can be acquired and equipped in around one hour of play time after you've reached Firelink and is made up of things that can be acquired early in the game with little to no trouble, making for a heavy and well armored co-op friend suitable to assist players in the Undead Parish, Darkroot Garden, Lower Undead Burg and The Catacombs.
He wields a powerful Black Knight Sword, a Heater Shield for good all around defense and stability, a Bandit's Knife for quick bleeding and good critical attacks and offhands a Parrying Dagger for this purpose.
Notes:
*all weapons are upgraded as you play, naturally (BKS will upgrade quick)
*to save on souls, the Armor of the Glorious can be replaced with the Knight armor or Elite Knight Armor
*the only major variable here is the primary weapon of the Black Knight Sword, of which you have three chances to obtain; if you do not obtain one then I'd suggest starting the character again, though it is extremely unlikely that with 10 humanity one will not drop from the two in the Asylum or the one in the Burg
*the other variable is the mask and alike the chest armor, it is interchangeable and I suggest using whichever Pinwheel drops although the Mask of the Mother is the preferred one
*if you do not want to take the time to go out of your way and obtain the Parrying Dagger (New Londo), the Bandit's Knife (bit of farming in Lower Undead Burg), the chest armor or the mask, the extra weapons are not necessary and the armor again can be swapped - I say this again as this build does not constitute twinking unless you're really lazy
This is a fun and effective low level setup when protecting and working with other players and you feel like a tank. Don't take it too seriously
