DBGS additional info

Additional Information for the Drakeblood Greatsword All Bosses Route

Binoculars: Using Binos stops your mid air momentum and cancels roll and attack animations at a certain point. You can use them for the drop to Fume Knight for example. For Maughlin you can use them like: 4 1h r1, bino, 3 1h r1, bino, 3 2h r1.

Dungeon 3: To make Havel fall, bait him forward a bit, 2h DBGS r1, 2 Force. Kill Ghost with 2 r1, light the oil thingy, 2 or 3 Force for Ricard, one 2h running R1+1 or 2 Force to make the curved sword girl fall.

Homeward: A Miracle that works like a Homeward Bone, but the cast is faster than the Bone/Dark Sign use animation. Since Bone/Dark Sign give you perfect timing when used right after a Boss kill they are used for those if no Soul Gear equipping is required, Homeward is used in any other case where you can take advantage of the faster animation.

LCR: Lightning Clutch Ring makes you take ~4 more Damage from everything, even things that deal 0 Damage to you, like poison or curse build up, therefore it's recommended to unequip it for Curse Urns (Shaded Woods) and the Mytha Fight. It will also break on the giant Mushroom in Shrine of Amana. It's also ~4 more Damage taken from heavy hitting attacks, so almost no harm there.

Ring Management: Sorting your Rings after Weight will make you able to go One Left from RTSR to get to the Silver Serpent ring, One Right from Ring of Blades (2 Right if you have Ring of Soul Protection) and One Up from LCR to get to Ring of Prayer.

Ring of Prayer: A Ring that gives you 5 Faith, required to use Soul Appease and Homeward in the midgame and Sacred Oath later on. you could skip it and level more Faith but you would have to cut VGR for that /shrug .

RTSR: For fights with RTSR you want to replace Ring of Blades, Lightning Clutch Ring always gives you more Damage. Feel free to use RTSR on as many fights as possible nepSmug .

Sacred Oath: A Miracle that gives you 50 Attack Rating and a very small damage reduction. You have to apply it before Brightbug, otherwise it cancels the Brightbug effect, for some reason Brightbug doesnt cancel Sacred Oath though. lel.

Shrine of Winter: Without any additional suicides apart from the normal ones and without missing any Soul Gear on Bosses you should be at around 2000-4000 Soul Memory over 1 Million. If you fail something you can still pop Sinh's Soul which gives you 18000.

Throwing Knife: Throwing Knives can be used at the start of the Velstadt fight to make him open up with the overhead Attack, and on Gargoyles to wake up sleeping Ones.
