good morning I just beat Dark Souls 3 without leveling up
For posterity and anyone trying to route their own:
1. Iudex: deprived, club spam
2. Vordt: broadsword, golden pine resin
3. Sage: +3 broad, parrylock phase 1, Flynn's build begins
4. Watchers: +3 broad
5. Wolnir
6. Deacons: Lloyd's sword/shield ring build begins
7. Pontiff: +5 broad, carthus flame arc, parry opener
6. Dancer: broadsword, carthus flame arc
7. Oceiros
8. Champion Gundyr: parry openers only (routed Champ for prisoner's chain)
9. Dragonslayer armor
10. Yhorm: storm ruler
11. Aldrich: broadsword, flame arc
(Wanted to do Yhorm/Aldrich after getting Hunter's ring -- so I could get 'em with Dragonslayer's Axe, but you can't actually access it until beating them.)
12. Curse-rotted greatwood (for transposing kiln, it's a 5-hit fight with +9 flaming broadsword lol)
13. Twin princes: Dragonslayer's Axe +10, flame arc
14. Soul of Cinder: DA+10, golden pine resin phase 1, golden pine bundle phase 2.
I need to plan routing a little better to cut down on time. I did a lot of farming and exploring, I think knowing a shopping list from each level would be much more efficient
