Obviously just for fun but 3 options.

-Rush pinwheel and expand your estus
-Undead burg (I’m positive this was the developers intended starting area)
-Another path but I’d wager most who don’t do either choose blight town

Undead burg is correct

Pinwheel rush is a vet strat

Master key then back door blighttown is also a vet strat



Master key and backdooring blighttown would be “correct” though imo

I agree pinwheel started as that but now new players who struggle hard can easily find that tip on virtually any website about dark souls making it a viable path to them to get past their hurdles

It’s a decent strat but that’s a hard task to undertake as a total noob unless you rush past everything and know the drop points and avoid the wheel skellies

Bonus question:

Excluding knight and cheese sorcery build what build do you think makes it easiest for a first time dark souls / FromSoft player

My choice pyromancer

Excluding knight , which is a broad term, leads me to believe you want to exclude a 2h weap like claymore which does make things easy, I’d say pyro yeah

You don’t get good miracles until late unless you rush a specific questline

Pyro is fun but brings its own challenges

I can’t remember the chicks name but one of the chaos sister that is in the tunnel has a pretty confusing quest/request/parameters for newbs and she gives a great spell so as a newb pyro you could frick that up.

Thief could also be in play

Also regarding pyro as the choice, it’s pretty goddamn hard to beat smough and ornstein as a first time pyro especially if you don’t know it’s coming

Hers if I recall correctly is even above their usual cut because isn’t she invisible unless you meet some condition with the other chaos sister? I might not remember right. I wanna say you give her enough of what she is asking for

Watching a newb rush graveyard is like watching someone who has never played Bloodbourne fight the giant sharks where you find the rokuyo
