General questions

1 How hard/time consuming is the platinum? I'm sitting on 44% trophies.

2 Where is the best place to farm souls?

3 Any tips for using bows?

4 Anyone got a good melee build which uses cursed weapon?

I found soul farming was kill the first reaper in 4-2 wearing soul ring using a bow, run away come back repeat. gets you around 5000 per 1 minute run.

Bows, get the white bow Try to use it from behind cover/on a sniping point/spot etc. It's also possible to cheese bosses with a bow but i dont like doing that

1. I never bothered with Trophies .But the easyiest way i think could be asking around for fully upgraded Weapons . You just have to have them . Not make them .

2. What Serious said . And you can kill the Second reaper too with little truble .Or just help people online .

3. The best way to use Bow's is by making them Sticky .
I think the Sticky Compound Longbow is the best bow in the Game .
Also use the Clever Cats Ring . That together with a good Bow means dead bosses .

4. Just make yourself one . Choose a weapon you like and make sure you can use Cursed weapon ^^ . Also make sure you CAN buff it XD .

1. If you want to platinum I can help you. I have all the upgraded equipment and the knight weapons as well. But if you want to do it alone, its a grind. Especially for some of the chunks you need for upgrading. Short of that its easy, but it was harder to platinum than Darksouls.

2. Personally I prefer to soul farm with the mantarays in 4-3, take your stormruler and lay waste to them. its like 60K-90K a run on NG+ ( don't remeber the exact amount) I think. You get bonus for killing them while they are 'suprised' so it really depends.

Oni answered everything word for word what I would have said on the last two.
