  1. Dark Souls 2 Vanilla All Bosses DLC Melee Dark Rapier/Lightning Red Iron Twinblade
  2. route (somewhat “elemental route”)
  3. Some notes:
  4. - The build is all about infusion + spell buff. You reach higher AR with infused weapons, and
  5. spells add 0,30*total AR, so it’s quite OP, especially on the Rapier and the RITB which are
  6. already OP.
  7. - It uses Lightning infusion for the RITB because lightning is, as always, OP.
  8. - Soul Appease saves a bunch (Mini Rats, early Rat Authority, Congregation)
  9. - Homeward is faster than boning out, and you can use it even while invaded
  10. - Yearn isn’t mandatory and doesn’t really save time (it does if you go for Dist’s jump in No
  11. Man’s Wharf, but it’s a very hard jump) but it’s HIGHLY recommended, it makes Yolo
  12. Corridor in DLC2 and Chariot a lot more consistent.
  13. - Early Vendrick is obligatory there considering how many more levels you need. RTSR a bit
  14. trickier to get though with 19 VIG (needs a hit from fantom guy + 1 from Vendrick, or direct
  15. RTSR from fantom if lucky)
  16. - This route skips Lightning Clutch ring because it only adds 15 AR which is like 2% more
  17. damage.
  18. - 30+ faith is to make Resonant Weapon last longer (about 1m10s at 35), and to have a bit
  19. more AR
  20. - The really bad part of the run is the f***ing barrel to explode the wall near McDuff, it’s very
  21. inconsistent for it to explode and sometimes it bounces and rolls out of range.
  22. - You can use Force on Woods Dungeon which saves a bit (I personally don’t like Force
  23. strats, it’s so RNG heavy)
  24. - You can consider buying a witching urn at some point from Melentia if you don’t kill
  25. Maughlin in 4 urns, as I recommend having 2 urns for the tree in Gulch Dungeon in case he
  26. trolls.
  27. - You can get to use Homeward early and not buying any bones, so you will need to level up
  28. 16 ATT after OIK, and glitch attune it for more uses. Not sure of the level ups then, and it’s a
  29. very minor timesave (a second maybe).
  30. - You need 2k souls to use Resonant Weapon, so if you die use a soul (can keep the one you
  31. pick with RITB for faster soul use)
  32. - Peach strats are between brackets
