Ds2 Current Patch All Bosses

The whole idea of this route is to get a rapier to +10 as quick as possible. Collecting all the extra mats takes roughly 60-70 seconds total if done properly. Not sure if its worth it or not.

-Pick explorer, start healing wares
-Head towards majula, kill Maughlin with witching urns, run to Emerald Herald, talk once & light bonfire.
-Dequip lockstone, prism stones, repair powder, rusty coins from action bar while gate opens
-Equip tseldoras after entering Dragonrider fight
-Kill dragonrider with falloff strats
-Talk to licia and then warp to Majula

-Run towards cardinal tower bonfire
-Grab the homeward bone in the river, and grab the buckler on the way.
-Buy 3-4 firebombs, 3 brightbugs, 1 club, and the blacksmith key from Melentia
-Talk to her for the ring, and also mash through dialogue to send back to town.
-Explode wall with firebomb glitch
-Go kill last giant, use ooze on the club while you're going down the elevator

-Pop Last Giant soul on way back up elevator
-Kill the bug on the way to pursuer with a witching urn
-Kill pursuer with buckler parry and ballista
-Take nest and light bastille fire

-Warp back to Majula and get +3 mace, +3 rapier
-Level up 23 str, 12 dex

-Buy cat ring and 10 bones/10 skulls
-Drop down and kill Rat Vanguard with +3 mace & ooze. If damage isnt high enough with R2, use a brightbug as well.
      -(Another idea is to buy 14 firebombs from Melentia when you visit her the first time, and using alluring skulls to clump the rats     up and just bomb them down. Could possibly work, not really sure. You also have 2 extra witching urns left over from starter items.)
-Go down to gutter and make sure to kill crystal lizard on the way
-Grab 20 lifegems if necessary
-Grab Branch
-Light first bonfire in black gulch
-Kill Rotten with ooze and brightbug
-Run to the 1st DLC

-Light 1st dlc bonfire
-Get OP Flynn's ring/Eternal Sanctum Key/Dragon Stone
-Activate dragon stone and do other DLC stuff you need to
-After everything is done warp to Majula

-Reinforce the rapier to +4
-Buy 3 brightbugs from Melentia
-Go unpetrify Elizabeth, use alluring skulls on enemies in the room if you want
    -Can kill Elizabeth for an extra gold pine if you'd like
-Light forked road bonfire, buy as many gold pine as you can afford from Vengarl
-Talk to Darkdiver Gandalf, then light Shaded woods bonfire
-Grab Titanite Chunk before Najh'ka in the chest
-Kill Najh'ka with rapier and gold pine/brightbug
-Kill crystal lizard after najh'ka with +3 mace jump attack (Need brightbug to still be active, which it will definitely be unless your najhka fight took forever)
-Light bonfire after Najh'ka

-Kill Congregation /w rapier and gold pine
-Light bonfire
-Drop attack crystal lizard with +3 mace, grab titanite chunk, then drop down a bit further and grab the other titanite chunk.
-Bone back
-Start heading towards freja, breaking the bookshelf/going through the door
-Use 2 witching urns to knock enemy off the balcony where the crystal lizard is
      -(You do this because you don't want to run out and melee that enemy cause you'll make the lizard run away)
-Sprint out the doorway and kill the lizard on the right with a running or jumping attack (Drops 2 large titanite)
-Grab the titanite chunk thats on the ledge to the left of the doorway
-Drop down and open the tiny half-door into the room with another titanite chunk
-Kill Freja, grab great soul, bone back
