Notes from author
Start with master key as gift. After tutorial level up 1 strength, 1 attunement and the rest goes to intelligence. Loot firelink shrine, from new londo ruins go to blighttown, get crimson set and tin banish catalyst, 145 AR is no joke early on, feel free to loot all souls there, return and now proceed to darkroot basin through valley of drakes, get grasscrest shield and twinkling titanites, rest at Andre's bonfire. Get Basement Key on Undead Parish and proceed to Lower Undead burg, open the shortcut, buy the Residence Key from Undead Merchant and set free Griggs. Return to firelink shrine, buy and attune the sourceries from Griggs, return to Darkroot basin, kill Hydra and Golden Crystal Golem, buy Hidden Body and Chameleon from Dusk, they are essential for trolling on invasions, Oolacile Ivory Catalyst is better below 27 int, get Dusk set and equip Crown of Dusk. Kill Havel so you can use full set and fast roll with Havel's Ring equipped. For the hardest part, do the Sen's Fortress skip glitch and set free Logan, farm enough souls to buy Homing Soulmass and Bellowing Dragon Ring, at SL 9 and 19 int you can cast up to 3 projectile, 5 projectiles are reached at SL 21 and 31 int. Best places to early invade are Undead Parish, Darkroot Garden and Blighttown. Enjoy killing the zweihander noobs ;D
