-This is an Uchigatana and Sorcery route I just created. It doesn't use Sen's Gate Skip. Which means killing Taurus Demon, Gargoyles, and Quelaag before Sen's Fortress. It does use Duke Skip, Seal Skip, Lower Undead Burg Skip, and also the Chaos Shortcut, among other techniques. Use RTSR for most boss fights, dupe Homeward Bones and boss souls when necessary, even if the notes don't specify that you need to do so. You want 50 Int, 19 Attunement, and 16 Vitality by the end. Any other levels can and should go to Endurance. Priority is Int first except when the route notes specify otherwise.
