If you need to pvp for the dragon body use this build: https://mugenmonkey.com/darksouls/674695
Use rings a lot, don't bother with the FAP, get chloranthy, RTSR, flame stoneplate, rare ring of sacrifice, fog, slumbering dragoncrest, hawk, hornet, and rusted iron
The fog and slumbering dragoncrest rings are the GOATs of this run. For instance in the great hollow the hydra doesn't ever aggro if you use fog ring and in the gravelord Nito fight wearing both and waiting for him to approach the entrance doesn't allow any of the skeletons to aggro. No need for a blessed club.
The hornet gets you one shot crits on darkwraiths.
The flame stoneplate and dark woodgrain with the gold hemmed set are enough to get to the second arena for the demon centipede if you want to kill it.
The hawk ring is for manus, you can use it, and RTSR , with the heavy crossbow and sniper bolts to cheese him. he has 6600 hp and the will do 15 damage so it takes 440, bring maybe 500 and youve got it. its great for killing the humanities too.
You can still use a bow to aim firebombs for the bed of chaos.
Use the fog and slumbering rings through the whole dlc, you can just walk past most enemies, it trivializes the forest as well as places like the dukes archives.
The baller shield is another hero, it can block all mob attacks pretty easily with few exceptions. switch to the grass crest for long runs but otherwise use chloranthy for stamina.
