From Start to Stormveil Castle

Story of the noble Sir Henry:

A man of nobility and known locally in theatres and pubs, was the indolent Sir Henry. He came into money at an early age through his aunt’s inheritance. He had not learned to toil and had no interest in changing that. Art, music and entertainment were his interests. Approval is what is of practical use to him, but he is neither a thief nor a murderer. I think that burden would also be far too strenuous for him. Art, wine, women and music are closer to his heart.
He learned to sword fight after a very negative experience in a nocturnal tavern. This was important to him, he learned that the law is not represented everywhere and that a man must be able to stand up for himself in any case.
If possible, however, he likes to avoid fights.

First Impressions: Oh, I’ve got myself into a mess. After I could just stumble through the world with Akron, it is now significantly more difficult with Sir Henry. Paper armour, no real damage dealers on war ashes, no ghost ashes and short swords. But I wanted it that way, NG+7 should be something special and I want the full challenge again. In fact, it feels a bit like I’m fresh into the game again. Every enemy is infinitely more threatening, every mini-boss a serious problem. But it also has the advantage that I can really deal with each boss again and not just defeat the enemy with enormous damage and armour. Now, in the eighth round (NG+7), it’s down to the nitty gritty. I’m curious, it won’t be easy with the above rules, even a simple boss like Godrick is a bit of a problem, what about the fire giant or Malekith. Oh well 🙂

At the moment I have to get used to him a bit, especially as far as sleep is concerned, I have no experience of exactly how it works and whether it works well. I haven’t come into contact with swords yet either. I think it will get better as soon as I get the hang of who I meet with what. Just to be on the safe side, I’ve also put on Sir Henry’s sneak talisman for the time being, so maybe it’ll be a bit easier with the normal trash opponents.
